Chapter 121: Return to Beijing to open a jade shop
After eating breakfast, Cui Zhifan got a lot of information.
There is a jade mine in the deep mountains, which belongs to my sister's family.
It was the jade mine that Garboer found by the way when she saw the golden light over there.
Jia Baoer also said while nibbling on mutton that in fact, there was a golden light shining not far from the jade mine, and she didn't know what it was, so she didn't take anyone to see it.
Thinking that it would take several days for Cui Shi to pack his luggage and settle the family, Cui Zhifan decided to take Jia Baoer up the mountain with Chen Dayou to see what the other golden light was.
When Chen Hao heard this, he immediately became anxious, "Dad, I'm going too, I'll go with you, I have a lot of strength, I can carry my sister on my back." ”
Chen Dayou touched his son's head, "You are still young, how can you let you carry your sister and pack your luggage with your mother at home." ”
"I am at home," Chen Ran raised his head and said to his father, "Let Brother Hao go, he can pick up the wild boar with one hand, and carrying his sister is not a problem at all,"
"I'll help my mother clean up, and the day after tomorrow I'll go to the school to say hello to Mr., this time I'll enter Beijing, and it's not easy to see Mr. again in the future."
Since entering the school, Mr. has been very good to him, often opening a small stove for him, and repeatedly telling him to participate in next year's children's exam.
I can't bear to sir.
Cui Zhifan thought for a while and said to Chen Dayou: "There is no war at the border now, don't tell outsiders about recovering your memory first, otherwise the officers and men in the army will be impeached if they enter Beijing for no reason." Brother Hao has to come back from the capital after entering Beijing to recognize his relatives, not to mention General Lan, the art of war and martial arts are still first-class in Daqi. If Brother Hao wants to follow the path of a military attache in the future, it is indeed beneficial and harmless to have General Lan personally teach. It's good to take Brother Hao with him on this trip into the mountain, let him recognize the way, and he will be here in the future, and he will need to bring people into the mountain when we can't come. ”
"Know the way? Bringing people into the mountains? Choi didn't understand.
"Yes," Cui Zhifan nodded, "Such a good jade mine can't be put there for nothing, you can open a jade shop after returning to Beijing." The children are getting older and older, Brother Ran wants the imperial examination, Brother Hao wants the martial arts, and there are many places to use money,"
"There is also Jia Baoer, there is a academy in the capital, and the female baby is also accepted. In a family like ours, children must go to the academy to study. The academy is full of powerful children, and they are particular about food and clothing, and our Jia Baoer can't be too shabby. Since you have two great fortunes in your family, you have to learn to revitalize them. ”
Chen Dayou and Cui Shi looked at him stunned.
"But, brother, I don't understand anything, can I open a store in Beijing?"
"Why not, if you don't understand, you can invite someone, this thing is not done in three or two sentences, first go back to Beijing to go shopping and see other people's jewelry shops, think it through, don't worry."
"Yes, Hui Niang, the eldest brother is right, as long as we have ideas, let's go to learn from others after we return to Beijing, and it's not too late to open again."
Jia Baoer had been playing with the little wolf, and at this time a sentence suddenly came out, "Mother, don't we still want to take the village chief's grandfather to make money?" ”
Yes, when I said this, I was planning to live here for the rest of my life, but I didn't expect to leave.
But promises cannot be broken.
At this time, Chen Ran spoke, "My son has seen those things in the jewelry shop, jade needs someone to mine, cut and polish, and someone to carve it carefully. If we really decide to open a jade shop, the jade on these two mountains can ensure that our shop will be opened all over the country,"
"There will definitely be a lot of people to do the work, and according to what my son has seen, we can give all this work to the people in the village, and they won't be able to ask someone to teach them. With the village chief's grandfather here, Uncle Hu and Uncle Ximu are there, it is much more reassuring than using other people. And in this way, it can also fulfill its promise and bring the people in the village to make money and live a good life. ”
It's hard for him to think so well at such a young age.
Cui Zhifan was full of emotion, and said to Cui Shi with satisfaction: "Brother Ran, this child is smarter than ordinary children, and he will definitely have a great future in the future." After bringing him back to the capital, my grandfather may have additional arrangements for him. and uncle, maybe he left Brother Ran directly. You two need to be prepared so that your uncle doesn't catch him off guard when he brings it up. ”
Cui Shi and Chen Dayou glanced at each other, and Cui Shi asked, "I understand what the eldest brother said, you are afraid that we will reject my uncle's kindness." It's just that I haven't been back for so many years, and I don't know ...... my uncle now."
"Brother Ran is your son, and your grandfather will take extra care of you. And the uncle is the son of the country to supervise the sacrificial wine, and the one he appreciates the most is the scholar. If they knew that Brother Ran was so talented, it would be strange if the two of them didn't break their heads. I asked you to be prepared in advance, so don't say anything when the two of them are fighting, let them fight in the ring by themselves, and whoever wins will be counted. ”
Cui: Well, that's what it means......
Chen Ran walked up to his sister and squatted down, but did not speak.
In fact, he didn't understand this, but his sister once said that jade must be sold to make money, and when the time comes, he can invite people in the village to work together to make money.
The 3,000 taels of silver left to the village chief said that it was the principal to make money, but in fact, it was also left by my sister to the village chief's grandfather and mother-in-law.
The younger sister said that their grandson ran away and they were so pitiful.
……
The day of exploring the mountain was set for tomorrow morning, and the Cui brothers and sisters were talking in the courtyard, and many village women came outside the door.
Everyone heard about Cui's family from a big family in Beijing, and knew that she was going back to the capital with her brother.
Thinking that Cui's own life has helped everyone a lot, and he doesn't know if he will come back in the future, everyone is very reluctant.
They greeted each other early in the morning.
"Brother Ran," without waiting for others to speak, Aunt Hu couldn't help but tears were about to fall, "You go, I, I ......"
"Yes, Brother Ran, why are we so bad in our hearts."
"Alas, you have broken us when you go, and our hearts are empty, it's really uncomfortable,"
"The capital is so far away from here, don't forget us in the future."
"Now that Dayou is back, your brother has also been reunited, your good life is coming, you have a good time in the capital, remember to write to us, if you want to eat something in our mountains, just say, let's bring you to the capital."
……
Cui Shi was about to cry.
The sisters who go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables together every day are about to be separated, and she can't bear them.
Cui Zhifan had already avoided going to the house to check Chen Ran's homework.
The village women lowered their voices and asked Cui: "I heard that your brother is such a big official, and even the prefect and county orders have to be honest in front of him." ”
Cui Shi hurriedly shook his head and said, "It's nothing, don't talk nonsense, it's not good to spread it." ”
One of them said: "It's not that we are talking nonsense, it's the old mansion, Brother Ran and his aunt are back." She said that everyone in the town knew that her eldest brother had returned, and they also knew that her sister-in-law's brother was a senior official, and he was from the Ministry of Rites. She also said that the people in the town envied her, and even the township chief visited her house with gifts. She packed the ticket with the township chief, and today she wants to lead the township chief to visit her brother and uncle. ”
"Yes, I also heard that last night the child's father came back and asked me what was the matter. At the beginning, she and her mother were bullied to the door, how could they kiss their parents and call the intimacy in a blink of an eye, it's really shameless. ”
"Phew, holding things high and stepping low, I scratched my face full of bloody paws for Brother Ran's mother back then, and my heart was black, I was embarrassed to put it on, I really don't know where she got her face."
There were different opinions, and Cui's heart sank to the bottom.
"Brother Ran, I passed by the old house when I came over, and I heard Brother Ran and his aunt arguing with Chen Zhi, as if Chen Zhi didn't let her come over, she scolded Chen Zhi for being stupid and coming home. Could it be that she knows that she has no face and wants Chen Zhi to help, but Chen Zhi doesn't help? ”
"Alas, there is such a good person as Chen Zhi in the old mansion."
"Who's to say it isn't."
Everyone was gossiping when they heard the door creak, and Cui Zhifan walked out of the house.
The village women were suddenly restrained, and they didn't know where to put their hands and feet.
"Hello sisters-in-law, Cui is polite here." Cui Zhifan arched his hand.
The village women hurriedly returned the salute, but they felt that they had returned indecently, and they became more and more cramped.
"Dayou, you can go around the village with me." Cui Zhifan turned his head and said to Chen Dayou.
Chen Dayou heard the words of the village women just now, and he couldn't help his anger for a long time, but his uncle asked him to continue to pretend to have amnesia, so he could only be anxious.
I was going to go to the old house at night, and my uncle came out.
Without saying a word, the two of them went out with their hands behind their backs.
Jia Baoer picked up the little wolf and chased it out, "Daddy hug, uncle hug." ”
……
"Huh, Brother Ran, your eldest brother is so mighty." A village woman said.
"That's called majesty, the appearance of being born to be an official."
"Oh yes, majesty, I'm so scared I don't dare to breathe."
"Me too, Brother Ran, you can be regarded as having come out, and you will wait for happiness in the future."
Cui Shi has been smiling and listening to everyone's speech, and when he heard this, he took the opportunity to say: "My children and I have been taken care of by everyone over the years, and when I talked to my brother last night, he also said that since this is the case, let's go back to the capital and don't forget everyone." After everything is arranged, he will think of something for everyone to do, and strive to make money for the people in the village without going out. ”
"Really? Brother Ran. ”
"Of course it's true, when have I ever coaxed someone?" Cui Shi Dao.
"In that case, I'll have to give our family a number first, and then if there is really work to do, you will have to arrange one for our family."
"I want one from my family, don't forget my family."
"And my house."
Everyone scrambled and squeezed in front of Cui's eyes.
Cui Shi smiled and said: "Don't worry, my brother said that there are many people needed for this job, and the people in our entire village can be arranged, and we have to find someone from the next village if you can't keep it." ”
"Then call my in-laws...... one of the aunts hurriedly exclaimed
"It's a good thing for your family, your in-laws are lazy and greedy, you might as well call my in-laws." Another humane.
"My family, my family."
Cui Shi said helplessly: "I don't have the final say on who will be used in the next village, someone will pick it at that time, as long as the hands and feet are clean and diligent, it is possible to choose to work." Go back and tell your family to be diligent, they may be picked up. ”
Before she finished speaking, Jia Baoer ran in, panting and said to Cui's family: "Mother, Daddy and Second Uncle have fought." ”
"What?" Cui stood up in surprise, and the tea bowl in his hand almost fell to the ground.
