Chapter 596: Trade Invasion
During this period, his fiancée said very little, but Fu Yunge always paid attention to her. After escorting his sister to bed, his fiancée also left with him.
Pushing open the door, the ground outside was quietly silvery white. Fu Yunge helped his parents tighten the hat belt and smiled lightly: "Don't worry, I'll go back to the room too." Immediately, he turned and walked towards the house he was familiar with.
The flowers of the lilac branches are now a withered branch like a wire. Fu Yunge gently stepped on the snow on the ground and came to the backyard.
The lights in my sister's room have been turned off, and it seems that she has slept. On the opposite side was his own room, but when he got closer, he found that behind the pillar, there was a figure shaking.
Fu Yunge was puzzled and slowly approached.
However, when he approached, he found that the person hiding here turned out to be his fiancée.
"Ah......" The fiancée was also very surprised to see him suddenly appear. After a pause of two seconds, he said embarrassedly, "That...... Are you going to rest too? ”
Fu Yunge nodded, and exhaled hot air from his mouth: "Yes...... Why are you here, don't you go back to rest? ”
The fiancée's face turned very red. But she couldn't see it in the dark, so she hurriedly said, "No, I'm just going outside to relax...... I'm leaving. ”
The room next to it is the residence where my father and mother settled my fiancée, and it is not far from Fu Yunge's bedroom. Fu Yunge stood in front of the pillar, silently watching her run away in a hurry and run into the house, her face solemn.
Hesitated for a long time. Fu Yunge turned around, hesitated for a few moments, pushed the door and went into the house to sleep.
…………
The next morning, the brief night snow had stopped, and the servants were "rustling" the snow in the courtyard.
Fu Yunge naturally wouldn't let snooze occupy one of the few times he went home to visit, and got up early. Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, which can be described as the most critical day, there are many affairs at home, and he has to help.
I got dressed, and when I came to the front of the hall, I found that my package had been opened yesterday, and my mother was packing up her things in the same way. When he saw the foreign specialties he brought back, he was a little surprised.
Fu Yunge wanted to take it out last night, but he forgot it. Now there is no sense of surprise, and Fu Yunge can't help but feel a little lost.
"These are ......"
My mother was looking at the snack items, and my father came from behind. Daddy held a pipe in his hand, and although he didn't light it, he still played with it like a delicate treasure in his hand.
Fu Yunge hurriedly said, "These were brought back from outside. In the past few days, there have been merchants from other places in the area of Liripu, and I have bought them from them, and I have never seen them before, so I want you to see them too. ”
In addition to snacks, he also brought a few clothes and some strange foreign gadgets. My sister also trotted over, and when she saw something new all over the ground, she curiously came over to take a look.
Fu Yunge picked up a box of snacks bought from the pastry owner's house, unpacked it and handed it to his sister. The delicate shape is very cute, and stars suddenly appeared in Yu Rou's eyes, and she held it and looked at it.
Fu Yunge also turned his head and continued to his father: "These things, if only they were useful......
But before he could finish speaking, he heard the sound of wiping his tongue from behind him. Fu Yunge turned his head, but saw that it was his sister with a bitter little face, holding a bite of the snack in her hand.
Yu Rou stuck out her tongue aggrievedly: "Woo...... This one is not tasty. ”
Fu Yunge smiled awkwardly. Sure enough, it's not a problem with their own taste buds, it seems that the tastes of these outsiders are indeed different from those of locals.
The mother also shook off a purple-gold dress, looked at it and shook her head: "This kind of clothes...... I'll show it to your third aunt. ”
Fu Yunge knew that the third aunt had a unique taste, and her mother said this to take care of her son's face. There was no way, he casually fiddled with the miscellaneous things on the ground and smiled bitterly twice.
And at this moment, Dad suddenly spoke:
"You said these outsiders, I also saw them a few days ago."
Fu Yunge was stunned. Immediately, he thought of the drunken foreign wine all over the ground, and his face changed slightly.
"I haven't seen any of these things sold." Dad stroked a few hairs on the top of his head, "It's a few people who sell bulk goods, Chaoyun Street Port is said to be setting up a chamber of commerce these days, I know that there are wine sellers in it, and there are some other businesses ......"
"Is there such a thing?" Fuyun Song is unheard of.
Daddy nodded: "That's right." There are also those who sell tea from other places, but it is not the same as local tea. They are also interested in our goods, and I had a few words with a little old man among them yesterday. ”
Fu Yunge immediately thought of the chaotic situation in Jiangliang City, and his heart was covered with a layer of haze.
Unexpectedly, the hands of those outsiders have been extended to their hometowns so quickly.
"That's a good thing, isn't it? Or is it a bad thing? The mother turned her head and asked Daddy.
Fu Yunge was also attracted by this question in his heart, or rather, he had been thinking about this question for several days. Of course, outsiders are not all the same, but seeing their two extreme faces in just a few days still makes him a little uncomfortable.
He didn't hear Daddy's answer, but he looked up and said, "If they have anything to do, you must tell me." I'll take care of it. ”
But my father and mother both laughed: "Dad knows more about business than you." You can rest assured, the ancestral business of our family for several generations is not afraid of them. ”
Fu Yunge nodded, but he was not at ease about this. If he is just in business, he is indeed inferior to his father, but the problem is that those outsiders seem to be faintly more than just doing business.
Yu Rou was already playing with the fireworks stick in her hand outside the door, and the sound of "Zizi" dyed a faint wisp of smoke.
Fu Yunge looked back at his sister, and the expression on his face was slightly moist.
That's fine. Since it is Chinese New Year's Eve today, he may also relax a little, these things should be thought about after the New Year.
He immediately smiled and clapped his hands at his parents: "By the way, I'm coming back this time, but it's just to celebrate the New Year together." Is there anything I can help with? I'm going to change the Spring Festival couplets! ”
There were mottled and busy footprints on the swept snow in the small courtyard. Soon the whole family was busy, inside and outside the house, revealing a sincere and heartfelt enthusiasm.
…………
The sky is gradually passing, and the Oriental family is also festive.
"Come over here...... Shiming, help me carry a bucket of paste over there. ”
The Dongfang family is not like the Yu family, the huge mansion is like a small palace, those tall houses, if you want to change the Spring Festival couplets, you have to use a ladder. Although the servants and guards go into battle together, there is always work that no one does, and after all, there is no one who likes to be busy at this time of the Spring Festival, and it is a festive atmosphere.
Dongfang Shiming wiped the sweat from the top of his head, and he hadn't stopped to rest since morning. However, seeing that the eldest brother in the distance was so interested, he naturally could not shirk.
