"The Yang family is still collecting grain because the ancestors of the Yang family do not have such an experience as Grandpa Taizu, and they have not left this bloody lesson, so Yang Ziqian doesn't know the danger here at all, and he doesn't have such worries as the third master." Zhao Qing said.

The old lady's bright expression froze on her face.

Yes, the ignorant have no fear!

If you are smart as the ancestor of the Shen family, won't you also go bankrupt because of this?

Then Yang Ziqian is much smarter than the Heavenly Ancestor back then, no one reminded him, how could he see the danger in this?

Although this battle for hegemony is not as terrible as the original ban on the sea by the imperial court, once the imperial court plans to transfer grain from other provinces, the price of grain in Tanxi will plummet!

At the thought of this, the old lady's face turned pale.

Zhao Qing changed the topic, and made persistent efforts, "This is not what it used to be, the third master who has always been strategizing has died, and the granddaughter-in-law heard the third master say that the Yang family has relied on the big man, and this competition, even if the hoarding of grain really makes money, the person who makes money is no longer the Shen family." ”

The old lady nodded in agreement.

Zhao Qing said again: "Since ancient times, agriculture has been heavy and light on business, and there is almost no business writing in the official history, and the merchants themselves in order to hide wealth, hide potential, hide secrets, and do not easily leave words in the world. The Legend of the Goods and Colonies found such a passage, "Trade in goods, do not keep the goods that are corrupt and eaten, and dare not be expensive." On its surplus and shortcomings, you know the high and low. If you are expensive, you will be cheap, and if you are low, you will be expensive. It is as expensive as dung, and as cheap as a pearl. The daughter-in-law deliberately flipped through the "Historical Records", and it was indeed recorded that "the snake is beaten with a stick." Zhao Qing looked at the old lady with a solemn expression, "Don't keep the goods that are corrupt and eat, and don't dare to be expensive." If you are extremely expensive, you will be cheap, this is all in the history books! ”

Now that the price of food is so expensive, there is no point in hoarding anymore, and it must be sold immediately!

The old lady nodded again.

Seeing a hint of decisiveness flashing in the old lady's clear eyes, Zhao Qing, who was nervously holding the cold porcelain cup, breathed a long sigh of relief.

And the second wife who returned to Puliuyuan was at a loss.

“…… Maybe it's because of the scruples of the big wife? Mother Xue took off the second wife's cloak and helped her sit on the chair, "Ask the Taoist priest to spend more silver." "Take the tea from Mingxiang and hand it over." The monthly case has been delayed for more than a month, and there has been no money in the outer courtyard, and the slaves have heard about it. Yesterday, the eldest lady and the old lady muttered all afternoon behind closed doors, and they didn't know what to say? ”

"It must be trying to cut the amount of internal government use!" Mother Wu said, "When I met Mother Su yesterday, the slave tried to knock on the side. Who knew that he had just said, 'The third master made a lot of trouble at night. I have to ask Mrs. Ciyuan to come into the house to see' She nagged in front of a bunch of people, saying that the third grandmother has not stopped since she entered the house, and one person has taken up the empty salary of twenty-one people, not to mention, which one of the foods is not the best to give her, and she has a headache today, Ming'er's buttocks hurt, and then the little ghosts are haunted and make endless trouble, and I don't want to think about it. Which of the food and clothing of a large family in and outside the house does not use silver, and the silver falls from the sky? He also said that the cash in the house was tight. The eldest lady is discussing how the old lady will cut it, how can there be any money to invite Mrs. Ciyuan into the mansion! Thinking of the shame she received yesterday, Mother Wu's tone was particularly sharp.

"I'm afraid of spending money, I have my own dowry!" There was a deep hatred in the supple eyes of the second wife.

Mother Xue glanced at Mother Wu, and stopped talking.

"Over the years, she has asked for a little, but if she can do it, when have I refused?" The second wife looked at Mother Xue and Mother Wu angrily, "When the eldest grandmother was a child, she bumped into a ghost in the garden in the middle of July, and asked Mrs. Ciyuan to enter the mansion and do half a month of rituals, and she wanted to avoid the fire, and she wanted to avoid the stars, and the people who belonged to the five elements of gold were all avoided, and how much silver was tossed in, and it was all supported from the public school, I am afraid that the third master will be unhappy when he knows, and when he comes to me, I will give a snort?" The more she talked, the more aggrieved she became, and the second wife's eyes were red, "Now I just want to invite Mrs. Ciyuan into the mansion for a day, how much silver can be used, and she just pushes back!" ”

"The silver is all bet on the grain, and now even the monthly interest can't be paid, the eldest lady also has her difficulties, and the eldest lady should not take it to heart, madam, maybe this is all the nonsense of the slaves below, and the eldest lady doesn't know at all." Mother Xue said, glaring at Mother Wu fiercely.

The whole house depends on the big house to support, and the eldest wife must not be offended!

Mother Wu broke out in a cold sweat.

When did you become so sharp?

In the past, this was something that I couldn't and didn't dare to say, why did I follow the third grandmother for a few days, and I actually learned to be sharp?

Hoping that the second wife could be like the third grandmother, she quietly gave herself a bad breath, and warned herself in her heart that she should not be so ridiculous again, Mother Wu closed her mouth.

The house was as silent as a tomb wilderness.

After a long time, the second wife raised her head and ordered: "Find out my red gold and agate dotted emerald Ruyi step." ”

"Yes, the slave maid is ......" Before the scholar finished speaking, he listened to the second wife's continued instructions, "Prepare a sedan chair and go to the Jinyuan." I couldn't help but be stunned, "Second wife!" She pursed her lips and looked at the second wife.

In just three months, her second wife's jewelry box was about to be deceived by the eldest wife!

"The second wife can't help it!" On that side, Mother Xue had already exclaimed, "This is the birthday gift that the third master brought back to you from the capital, so why don't you keep a thought?" He added, "The second wife's white jade inlaid with Fushou Jiqing Ruyi is also a rare mutton fat jade, so it's better to send this." ”

"Sister-in-law has always liked that face." The second lady shook her head.

Thinking of the surprise of the eldest lady on the second wife's birthday when she saw the third master's dotted emerald Ruyi shaking with thirty-six red agate for the first time, and remembering the jealousy and envy of the eldest lady who would hate herself for not giving birth to a good son when she saw the second lady wearing this face on a solemn occasion, Mother Xue shut up.

But seeing that the book was really brought out, Mother Xue couldn't help but stop it, "...... This one is too precious. ”

Shuxiang immediately untied the freshly made blue silk bag, revealing a delicate black lacquer inlaid rosewood box with plum blossom patterns.

Mingxiang had turned around and found the white jade inlaid with Fushou Jiqing.

"This kid is the only blood and bone of the third master, I have to keep it no matter what!" Seeing that everyone was pushing back and refusing to listen to their own words, the second wife looked at Mother Xue with a straight face.

The beautiful eyes that gave birth to a few faint crow's feet prematurely turned slightly red.

Mother Xue's expression darkened, and she slowly stepped aside.

Shuxiang had already shed tears, and silently wrapped the untied blue silk again.

The atmosphere was gloomy like a gray rainy day.

"Let's go."

Seeing Shuxiang holding the beaten blue silk bag in her hand, the second wife stood up. (To be continued......)
