Wang Chunrong went home with the letter and handed it to his father. One was Yan Yuer's brother who wrote a letter telling her that her family was okay and that she should not read it. The other letter was written by a Zhuangzi's steward to Yan Yu'er, saying that Zhuangzi's harvest this year was not good, and he wanted to ask her to reduce the rent by 10%, otherwise he was afraid that the tenants would have no surplus food for the winter and cause trouble.

"What is Yan Yu'er's origin?" Wang Chengde finished reading the letter and asked.

"The news that came out of the inquiry said that Yan Yuer was a Qing man who Wang Chengsu returned from outside the country last year, and he had been placed in his house in Liuyan Hutong." Wang Chunrong said, "Judging from these two letters, this is not the case. Yan Yuer is a Qing man in a brothel, how can she have such a close correspondence with her family? The content of the second letter is even more strange, since she will have her own Zhuangzi, how can she be wronged to be an invisible outer room next to Wang Chengsu? ”

Wang Chunrong's two diǎn are very reasonable, Wang Chengde said, "Last year, the Wang family's business was still in the hands of the second master, and it was the most prosperous period of Wang Chengsu. ”

Wang Chunrong was puzzled, "Dad, my son doesn't understand. If it is the daughter of a pure white family who was sent over, why do you call it a Qing Qi person to the outside world? Isn't this a plain reduction of her status, and it is not good for Wang Chengsuyi? ”

Wang Chengde taught his son, "Father and Wang Chengsu have grown up together since childhood, although he also goes in and out of unclean places for business, but the most disdainful thing is the woman who messes with everything, so Yan Yuer definitely didn't come out of a brothel, even if she is a Qingqi person, it is impossible." said this to the outside world, it should be to hide people's eyes and ears, and I don't want people to pay attention to Yan Yuer's mother's family. Yan Yuer has Zhuangzi in her hand, it can't be her mother's family to give her 'dowry', if she has such family wealth in her family, how can she wronged her daughter to be an outer room, so this Zhuangzi is only available for Yan Yuer to make an outer room for Wang Chengsu, so where did the money to buy Zhuangzi come from? ”

"It must have been given to her by Wang Chengsu!" It seems that he really has true feelings for Yan Yuer, Wang Chengsu, who looks honest and responsible on weekdays, is still a lover! Wang Chunrong secretly said that people should not be good-looking, but after thinking about it deeply, he felt that it was wrong, "But, where did Wang Chengsu get the money?" ”

Although Wang Chengsu is Wang Mingli's housekeeper, the monthly routine is only three taels per month, even if there is a reward from Wang Mingli in Pingsuri, it is impossible to (7)∧dǐng(7)∧diǎn(7)∧ Xiao(7)∧ said,.⌒.√os_(); Have the money to buy a Zhuangzi! Even a small village must have dozens of acres of land, and it can't be bought without a few hundred taels of silver. If he really has such private property, then his "loyalty" to Wang Mingli is also questionable! Wang Chunrong's expression was several times, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was something here, and if he followed this line, he would definitely find a lot.

Seeing that his son pondered and understood, Wang Chengde continued, "The letter said that Zhuangzi said that the harvest was not good, and this year we have a good harvest here, so this Zhuangzi is not close to us." If this Zhuangzi is really Wang Chengsu's family property under other disposals, then there is more than one thing he concealed from Wang Mingli, and it is right to follow this line. But you have to be careful not to let him notice that Dad has a lot of things to do recently, and he has to find a safe person to deal with it. ”

"Dad, what do you think of Zhao Zhongxuan?" Wang Chunrong said. Zhao Zhongxuan is the steward of Qingshan Shangji, and he does not have much contact with the Wang family on the surface. But because of Lan Yi, Wang Chunrong has a lot of contact with Zhao Zhongxuan, and knows that he has a lively brain, many ghosts, and this person's nature is not bad, which is worth believing.

After the opening of the Qingshan grocery store in Meixian County, Wang Chengde privately taught Zhao Zhongxuan how to take care of the store, and he also liked him, "This time I asked him for help, which can tell him and what can't be told to him, you have to grasp the size yourself." Also, someone handed me a message today, Tuoba Xiaozhi has arrived in Meixian, although we can be sure that he recognized the wrong person, but we also have to guard against diǎn, you speak carefully, don't let your mother know about it, lest she worry. ”

Tuoba Xiaozhi came from Huang County to Mei County to investigate the situation of the Lan family, and he would definitely confirm Lan Yi's identity, so Zhou Weiji sent someone to secretly follow, in case he had any unfavorable actions against Wang Chengde's family of three. Wang Chunrong said angrily, "It's really sitting at home behind closed doors, disaster comes from the sky, how can such a big plague god jump out in a good manner!" Dad, I really want to meet him. ”

Wang Chengde glared, "He has kung fu in his hands, don't make trouble, since your brother-in-law said that he is not to worry, we don't need to worry too much, you just need to do your own thing." In two days, I will go to Suzhou with your Uncle Chengtu, and you will be watching Wang Chengsu here. ”

Two days after the news of the poor management of the Wangjia cloth village on Silk Street, the news that the Wang family planned to change hands also spread the news. Wang Mingli sat in the study, looked at Wang Tiangui in front of him with a bad face, and asked flatly, "Do you want to buy a cloth village?" ”

Now Wang Mingli is no longer in charge of Dafang's shop, and Wang Tiangui also has a few of his own shops, although the business is not good, it is passable, so now his fear of Wang Mingli has disappeared a little. Hearing that he was going to sell Zhuangzi, he hurriedly ran over to express his intentions, "Yes, since the second brother wants to sell it, it is better to sell it to his own family than to sell it to outsiders." ”

"Since you have three thousand taels of silver in your hand," Wang Mingli lifted the lid of the cup and watched the heat rise, "Why don't you lend it to me temporarily, and when the business of the cloth village eases up, I will pay you back three thousand five hundred taels." ”

Wang Tiangui secretly pouted and lent him silver to turn around the business, unless his brain let the donkey kick. The reason why the cloth village is not well managed, in addition to the problem of the purchase channel, the main reason is that the silk and satin village in Zhou Town has been getting better and better in the past two years, and has robbed a large number of customers.

"Second brother, I know that you are studying behind closed doors, how can you worry about business matters anymore. Actually, hehe, the younger brother doesn't have three thousand taels of silver in his hand, and now he only makes up more than a thousand taels, thinking that the second brother will be accommodating, pay a part first, and the rest will definitely be made up for you next year. Wang Tiangui said with a grin, looking up and peeking at Wang Mingli's face.

Wang Mingli pulled the corners of his mouth, Wang Tiangui couldn't help but shrink when he saw it, and hurriedly added, "Second brother, the younger brother is not such a person who has no conscience, with your care for the little brother for so many years, how can the younger brother buy your shop." If the second brother believes in the younger brother, he will hand over the shop to me to manage for the second brother, which will definitely turn it into a profit, get back the lost money for the second brother, and crush the silk village in Zhou Town! ”

"Over to you?" Wang Mingli said thoughtfully.

Wang Tiangui hurriedly diǎn head, straightened his chest and confessed, "Yes, second brother, you forgot that when I was with my eldest brother, I was in the silk business, I am very familiar with this road, I can do everything that Zhou Zhen can do, and I must do it better than him." ”

"Well done? Not really, if that's the case, why didn't the eldest brother hand over the silk village to you? Wang Mingli said lightly.

Wang Tiangui gritted his teeth, "Hmph, the eldest brother bought private property for his sister-in-law, how could he use me!" (To be continued.) )
