Chapter Ninety-Seven: Urging Marriage
After inquiring about Dong Ming's situation, he explained that this goods were idle, and he was not the material for studying, so he wanted to come out to learn to do business. Seeing the decline in housing prices in Nanjing, I was ready to buy a house and sell it when the price rose.
Chen Yuan smacked his tongue, this product will also speculate in real estate, the idea is good, that is, according to his own historical experience, in less than two years, Zhu Di will move the capital to Shuntian, so Nanjing's housing prices will naturally begin to fall.
If you invest in housing prices at this time, you will inevitably lose no underwear.
Seeing Dong Ming's situation talking eloquently and talking about the business opportunities inside, Chen Yuan gave him a violent shudder: "Go." ”
"Where are you going?" Dong Ming scratched his head and asked.
"Go to your house."
"That's a good feeling, brother-in-law, I've been looking forward to you going for a long time. My eldest brother is busy with business all day long, and he doesn't wait to see me, and my mother chatters every day, and I'm annoyed to death. I begged my father for a long time before I was allowed to come to Xuanwu. ”
You are the eldest son, you don't learn and don't know, eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, but you can inherit the family property, it's strange that your eldest brother can treat you. When he went home, he heard from his mother that Dong Mingyan often went to visit her to help her live, which was rare. The affairs of the house were handed over to Yuan Bin to deal with, and he had to go to Dong's house.
In ancient times, the traffic was inconvenient, and it took almost half an hour to return to Jiangning. Dong Ming chattered about Shizhou, but Chen Yuan just smiled and said that he had followed Qin on a trip, and there was nothing unusual.
When asked about the reward, he said Tian Hejuan, Dong Mingquan shook his head regretfully: "It's a pity, I thought my brother-in-law would get an official to come back and be a pawn." ”
Chen Yuan smiled and didn't answer.
After entering the Dong Mansion, Chen Yuan found that everyone looked at him differently, and they were all in awe.
They are all servants or helpers, Chen Yuan is not very old, even if he is white, but he does errands for the emperor, they can't do it in their lives.
Walking through the front yard and coming to the main hall, I saw two people sitting inside, a man and a woman, it was Dong Hai and Zhao.
"Daddy, brother-in-law is here." Dong Ming shouted before entering the house, and Dong Hai got up to greet him.
"Virtuous nephew, you're here, come into the house quickly." Dong Hai had a gentle smile on his face, and the Zhao family was afraid that he would settle old accounts, so he was busy preparing for the banquet.
Chen Yuan was not polite, and sat down, Dong Hai recalled Chen Yuan's father and their previous friendship, and then praised him for his great future, of course, what he did around the bush was to ask when he would come to the door to propose marriage.
In Chen Yuan's heart, he felt that Dong Mingyan was too young, and he was only in junior high school in modern times.
When he was at home, his mother also mentioned it to him, telling him to start a family as soon as possible. I gave an explanation to the Dong family after I promised the autumn season, but because of the matter in Shizhou, it has been delayed.
If he hadn't met Wu Yuehe, he might have happily agreed to marry Dong Mingyan. Men, starting a family and farming is a very ideal life.
But providence made people meet Wu Yuehe, and she walked into his heart. Her grievances have not been appealed, and she is responsible for it.
After the martyrdom, it was Zhu Di's heart disease, and if it was exposed, he might affect the Dong family. At this time, it is absolutely not allowed to talk about marriage.
During the meal, Dong Mingyan replied shyly, looked at him secretly, met Chen Yuan's gaze, and hurriedly dodged, and his neck turned red. Chen Yuan didn't have a good time talking to her, and there were still Wang and Dong Mingchang on the table with black faces.
Chen Yuandao: "Uncle, the little nephew has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not. ”
Dong Hai drank two glasses alone, his face was a little red, he took a sip of wine, ate a piece of food, put down his chopsticks, and said with a smile: "Virtuous nephews don't need to be modest, they are not outsiders, just say anything." ”
"Then I'll say it bluntly, the second brother can't buy a house anymore, this business is bound to lose."
"Ah, no, wouldn't it?" Dong Ming was stunned and unwilling, he thought it was a good way to make a fortune, but he was directly vetoed by Chen Yuan.
"It is imperative to move the capital, there are many commercial controls, Nanjing's business will only go to a low trend and will not rise, if you want to develop business, you are still optimistic about Shuntian."
"I've also thought about what my nephew said, and the neighbors are discussing it. However, I heard that the county officials were all against such an important matter, especially the gentry in Nanjing, and I was thinking that the relocation of the capital would not be successful. ”
Chen Yuan affirmed: "The matter of moving the capital is inevitable. ”
"Are you sure? Where did you get the news? ”
Of course, later generations will know about it, and they will definitely not be able to tell you like this, saying: "Uncle doesn't care where my news comes from, if my uncle wants to get closer to business, he must consider that the capital will be moved within two years at most." Therefore, it is not feasible to take advantage of the drop in prices to hoard goods in Nanjing. ”
"But we have been in Jiangning for many years, and we have been doing silk business, and we are not familiar with life in Shuntian, so we can't do it at all." Dong Mingchang pondered and retorted.
"Everything is difficult at the beginning, I believe that my uncle was also self-made back then, occupying a place in Jiangning, and when he arrived in Shuntian, everything was just from the beginning."
Dong Hai thought about it seriously, he didn't think that Chen Yuan would lie to him, with his sophisticated vision, Chen Yuan could be appointed by the emperor himself, and he could bring out his son from death row, and the official positions of the people he came into contact with must be very high. And he said that in two years, it would be true.
Simply buying a house in Nanjing is the beginning, and said: "Ming, you have seen a total of several houses." ”
"There are only three places, and one was bought by my brother-in-law."
Everyone looked at Chen Yuan curiously, when was he so bold that he could buy a house in Xuanwu.
With his family's savings, he had to work hard for ten years to buy a house in Xuanwu, Chen Yuan explained: "It was rewarded by King Zhao, and this matter cannot be publicized." ”
Dong Ming muttered: "I said, brother-in-law, where did you get the money, you didn't tell me just now, you only told me just now, Your Majesty rewarded you with ten acres of official land and 100 horses of silk." ”
Ten acres of official land, 100 horses of silk, exchanged for silver, that is also tens of thousands of taels. The emperor rewarded it, King Zhao also rewarded it, who is King Zhao, that is the emperor's third son, he ran an errand for the emperor, King Zhao rewarded the house, Zhao was stunned when he heard it, this Chen Yuan, she can still afford to offend? used to be covered with lard, but now I am worried in my heart, and I am afraid that Chen Yuan will look at it.
Dong Hai asked Dong Mingquan to return the deposit and do business, even if he loses a little bit, he will return a little more, and when he can withdraw, he will withdraw immediately to avoid risks. Dong Mingquan naturally has no opinion.
Chen Yuandao: "Uncle, this was originally your family matter, the little nephew shouldn't talk much, but let's talk about the little nephew's opinion, the second brother has been in the academy before, and he doesn't know much about business, and the business affairs are still handed over to the eldest brother to take care of." From the fact that those few people interfered with his own house buying a house, Chen Yuan knew that Dong Ming's situation was hot-headed for a while, and he was looking for some kind of helper, not like a businessman, but like a few dogs.
Wang Shi and Dong Mingchang were surprised, and began not to wait to see Chen Yuan, but when these words came out, their faces changed and they began to be grateful to Chen Yuan. His words spoke to their hearts, Dong Ming was pampered, he did things according to his will, and he was always making trouble in business. Chen Yuan's voiceover, the family's property was handed over to the boss, how could they not be surprised.
Dong Hai smiled bitterly, how did he not know that Dong Ming's condition was not that material, but the Zhao family was a wife, and if the property was not given to his son, he would not want to live a stable life in his old age.
Dong Ming is also very aggrieved, he really can't do it, and he is denied by the people he worships, how uncomfortable it is.
The Zhao family was very dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to offend Chen Yuan, so he had to stare at the Wang family and tell them not to be delusional.
Chen Yuan scolded Dong Ming: "Don't be unconvinced, your family property will be handed over to you, and in less than three years, you will be defeated, but you don't have to be discouraged, you have studied for a few years, you can't do business, I have two points of thin noodles from King Zhao, and I will find an errand for you in Jinyiwei." ”
"What? Jin Yiwei? Dong Mingquan almost bit his tongue, jumped up from his seat, grabbed Chen Yuan's arm with both hands, and said with a flushed face, "Brother-in-law, you, do you really want to help me enter the Jinyi Guard?" ”
"What? Don't want to? ”
"Yes, of course I do." Dong Mingquan nodded like a chicken pecking rice, a merchant family, with no background, most of those relatives have to rely on their own families to take care of them. If you can't study, you have no way, and you almost don't want to be an official. The reason why Li Bin is arrogant is because someone in his family is in the officialdom.
I made a brocade guard, hum, I won't beat anyone who is unhappy in the future.
Chen Yuan saw through his mind and slapped him on the shoulder: "Don't give me any thoughts, Jinyiwei has a lot of power, but his reputation is not good, in the officialdom, I am cheating, you give me some responsibility, poke out the basket, no one can protect you." ”
Dong Ming grinned and said: "Certainly, definitely, everything is up to my brother-in-law." ”
Now, the Zhao family is no longer glaring at the Wang family, what is the family property. If his son enters the Jinyi Guard, it will be an official, who wants to be such a lowly businessman. Now I don't want the family property, and I put vegetables on Chen Yuan with a smile: "Nephew, my aunt used to be bad, I misheard others, I made a thousand mistakes, it was your aunt's fault, don't blame me, nephew, you said that you would come to marry Yan'er after the autumn season, you see that you are not young, when are you going to do it?" ”
That, did I say that before? Looking at the eyes of this family, it seems that they have eaten themselves.
