Chapter 133: The He Family
Liu Qingshu naturally doesn't want to be such a family head, isn't he more at ease in Chang'an than he is now?
What does the Liu family have now, it is estimated that even a little profit in Linjia Village will not be reached, and taking over the Liu family again is not a benefit to Liu Qingshu, but endless troubles, and the impression of coming back for the first time today is not good, so what is the intention to help them again.
But there are still some benefits for Liu Fan, when he was in Chang'an City, he was always fighting alone, and if he wanted a helper, he had to cultivate it slowly, but the Liu family was ready-made, maybe there were some problems with loyalty, but these people could be used directly, and they could indeed provide a lot of help for their own development in the future, but these people were also indispensable to them, waiting for their team to mature, and the benefits they could bring were not comparable to the Liu family.
At dinner in the evening, Liu Fan was also invited to the table, and the food was very rich, but it was all simple cooking and barbecue, and the stir-fried dishes still did not come here, which took a little time, and it is estimated that in a few years, stir-fried dishes will be popular throughout the Tang Dynasty.
The old lady seems to like Liu Fan very much, and she keeps giving Liu Fan vegetables at the dinner table, and Liu Fan is not not not eating, Liu Qingshu is not as happy and excited as in the morning, and she doesn't speak at the moment with a straight face, the old lady sees that after eating, she orders someone to serve tea, the tea soup is really unpalatable, and Liu Fan asks for water.
At this moment, there are some people at the core of the Liu family sitting in the room, all of whom are writing uncles, and the old lady smiled: "Xiaofan, you have been wandering all these years and have never come back, this is your uncle, this is your uncle, this is your uncle, this is your uncle..."
After introducing a circle, Liu Fan found that the old lady's introduction was introduced from the family who held the real power, the Liu family's business was okay, there were cloth shops, salt shops, and coffin shops, and the best business was the coffin shop, which is now the Liu family's highest-income shop, and then there were some bookstores, the bookstore has not made much money in recent years, mainly because there are no good books to sell, and the paper is expensive, and there are not so many people willing to buy books.
In Xuancheng, the Liu family has several competitors, one of which is the He family, that is, Liu Fan's uncle's family, doing similar business, and after years of development, the younger generation of the clan has already stepped out of Xuancheng and began to operate in Chang'an and Jiangnan.
After the old lady introduced the situation, she said with deep meaning: "The Liu family has not had outstanding characters in the past few years, and other families have talents who have been selected or recommended in the examination, but the Liu family has not produced a single person over the years. ”
Liu Fan listened drowsily, and didn't say anything after hearing the words, followed by all kinds of admiration from the clansmen, the old lady saw that it was not early, so she smiled and said: "Xiao Fan, let's go rest, I'm only back now, we have time to chat!" ”
Liu Qingshu took Liu Fan back, and on the way Liu Fan asked: "Aya, I can finally understand why you didn't want to come back in Chang'an!" ”
Liu Qingshu smiled bitterly: "That's how it is at home, the family of businessmen, alas, everything is in line with interests!" ”
"There's nothing wrong with that!" Liu Fan said with a smile: "Since they want to play, just play with them, if you want me to enter the game, you can, you have to listen to me in everything in the future, otherwise I won't do this!" ”
Liu Qingshu sighed and said, "What you think is too simple! ”
"This matter is not so difficult, and now their request is that I can use my influence to bring them more benefits, and with this, I can take over all the Liu family!"
Liu Qingshu saw that Liu Fan had an idea, so he didn't say anything.
Early in the morning of the second day, everyone looked at Liu Fan and others with a little eagerness, mainly because all the gifts brought back yesterday were distributed, all of which were expensive and strange things, which they had never seen before, and when they got the gifts at this moment, they greeted Liu Fan with a smile.
I didn't stop much at Liu's house, and came directly to He's house by carriage.
Liu Fan is still quite close to the He family, mainly because He Luofeng said a lot of good things before, which made Liu Fan naturally close to the He family.
When he entered the gate of the He family, he was still warmly welcomed, and he didn't have the same heavy thoughts as the Liu family, at this moment, there were only two old people and the eldest son in the family, and the others were running business outside.
The two elders of the He family saw Liu Qingshu holding Liu Qingshu's hand one after another, most of them said that they should not have stopped Liu Qingshu's family affairs, and now they are also sad in their hearts without their daughter, and after seeing Liu Fan and Liu An, they couldn't cry anymore, and they looked carefully and then said that Liu Fan was the most like his mother, and his eyebrows were very similar to the little girl who left home back then.
The resentment in Liu Qingshu's heart also dissipated a lot, and at this moment, he was talking to the second elder, and he talked about Liu Fan's situation, but the second elder didn't express it too much, but kept sighing how proud Liu Fan's mother would be if she was still alive.
During the conversation, he took Liu Fan to visit the small courtyard where his mother lived back then, everything has not changed, all the layouts seem to be the same as more than ten years ago, and Liu Qingshu cried again.
Finally stopped crying, and then went to the front hall to talk, the two elders mostly talked about some words that made Liu Qingshu pay attention to his body, but he didn't mention half a word to let Liu Fan help, invisibly Liu Fan's good impression of them was even heavier, and after knowing that Liu Fan was going to get married in two years, the old lady of the He family went back to the house to get a set of jewelry.
"This was prepared for your mother back then, but unfortunately your mother didn't have a chance to wear it, alas, at the beginning, the old body was confused, otherwise it wouldn't have made your mother.... Alas, these things have been given to you, I hope you can take good care of your father, your father has not been easy all these years, poor yo, his hair is much grayer! ”
Liu Fan took it, then looked at the old lady of the He family and said, "Grandma, you see that there are school-age children in the family, you can hand them over to me when you come back this time, and I will take them to Chang'an and arrange for them to go to school!" ”
Immediately told the basic situation of the school, the old lady hesitated for a moment and shook her head and said: "Our He family's development over the years is okay, now that your foundation is not stable, how can I trouble you, this Tianjia College is not your college, and the stakes are clear!" ”
Liu Fan's heart was even more moved, so he didn't say anything, anyway, he had to stay here for a while, and there was a chance to bring the suitable children of the He family to Chang'an, no matter what happened in the future, this vision was stronger than staying here.
After lunch, Liu Qingshu said goodbye to the second elder of the He family, and on the way back for the two, Liu Qingshu was uncontrollable again, and said with tears: "If your mother is still alive, how happy she should be now!" ”
Seeing this, Liu An hurriedly comforted Liu Qingshu, Liu Fan said: "Dad, don't be too sad, everything is over, everyone is still alive now, if my mother sees it, she should be happy!" ”
