Chapter 205: Dividends
Although he has only a one-sided relationship with Baoling Hou, Li Weijian has a lot of relationship with Zhongjing Hou Shi Nai, since he has met this time, where is there any reason to stand by and watch?
Li Weijian hurriedly went to the deck, said a few words to the official ship opposite, and then ordered the boat to disperse and look around along the river.
There must be a brave man under the heavy reward, Li Weijian opened the reward, and there were boatmen who put down the boat on the side and scattered around with lanterns and torches to look for it. Half an hour had passed, when someone suddenly shouted from downstream, "Found it!" β
Li Weijian's big boat hurried over, and saw two boatmen holding a figure on a sandbar in the middle of the river. Under the light of the torch, the man was soaked, his cloak was scattered, the official hat was long gone, and his official robe was torn by the fire in several places, and it was full of smoke and dust, Li Weijian hurriedly said: "But Uncle Shishi? β
At this time, Shi Dingwu was shocked, and he didn't recognize Li Weijian for a while, and hurriedly asked the two boatmen: "Is this ...... This is? β
The boatman hurriedly said the name and official position, and Shi Ding shouted: "Virtuous nephew, come and save me!" β
Li Weijian couldn't cry or laugh, this time the water bandits had already run away, what else did they save? At the moment, the two boatmen rocked the small boat to send Shi Ding to the big boat, Li Weijian hurriedly ordered someone to bring hot tea and clean clothes, and Shi Ding was slightly calm.
The two of them spoke slightly, and the official boat where their friends were turned around, and the friends ferried to this boat, and saw Shi Ding, only to say that the father and son of the Gu family both died, and asked Shi Ding how to behave in the future.
Shi Ding will also be on Li Weijian's ship at this time, looking at the dozens of forbidden troops who can settle down slightly, where do they dare to go back to their own ship. As for the Gu family's father and son...... Shi Ding couldn't care about it, who would have thought that Jiangnan was so fierce that he would have the intention of killing people?
In any case, this waterway is not to go ashore ...... No one was guarded and did not dare to leave.
Li Weijian nodded to the boatman, asked if this was Jiangyin, and said after a little calculation: "Uncle Shi, this place is very close to the station of Wuwei Town, and I expect that the thieves will not be rampant so much." Uncle Shi went to Jiangyin first at dawn, and then asked the governor to send a standard camp to escort him, and then rushed to Yangzhou. β
Shi Ding's heart palpitated, thinking that this would be appropriate, so he should accept it. As for the following errands...... Oh, let's save my life first!
After that, the two of them did not say much, but asked about the antecedents. However, it was said that Baoling Hou Shi Ding had been seeking to be released as an official, but in the end he still caught up with Chen Hongmou, and it happened that Yan Xiyao's bribery case happened, and the sage wanted to send a messenger to investigate the case.
Shi Ding thought that this was a beautiful difference! The Jiangnan Flower World, just walk around, Cheng Yi alone can collect a lot of money, because he has been running repeatedly, in the end, he got an errand and went all the way south.
The seized letterhead was irrefutable, and he went to Songjiang to lock up the Gu family father and son, and then arrested several members of the Xu family.
Unexpectedly, he was attacked by water bandits here!
Who sent this bandit? Or the Jiangnan gentry killed their mouths, or the Yangzhou salt merchants wanted to attack and kill him Shi Ding! Recalling that the gentry in Jiangnan were submissive, Shi Ding instinctively decided that this time it must have been done by the salt merchants! Because of this, where would he dare to go to Yangzhou again?
After talking for a long time, seeing that Shi Ding was very tired, Li Weijian simply gave up his cabin and went to the next door to squeeze in with Bitong. It's a shame that a few maids stayed in Yangzhou, otherwise it would really not be able to spread this time.
Bitong was worried in her heart, but Li Weijian didn't have any thoughts at all, so she fell asleep on her own head, and Bitong had to roll up the quilt and sleep on the floor for a long time.
In the turn of the day, the three official ships turned around to Jiangyin, Li Weijian sent a half-post forbidden army to escort them, Shi Ding played the flag of the king's order, and went towards the Jiangyin County Ya without mentioning it.
This delay was already the first day of June. When he arrived in Shanghai County, it was the third day of the sixth month, and Li Weijian was immediately disheartened when he saw that the newspaper published that the loyal and brave king led Wuyi Town to go on an expedition. Thinking about it, I couldn't catch up, so I simply stopped in Shanghai County for two days, bought a lot of clay instruments, and didn't board the ship to return north until the fifth day of June.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Jingshi, Li's family house.
Surrounded by green bamboos and streams, a few maids in the Xuantang gently shook the pu fan, and the gusts of breeze brought a little coolness, but Wang Xifeng's heart couldn't help but be hot.
Fu Qiufang, who was on the other side of the table, closed the account book and said with a smile: "The second grandmother's account is quite detailed, and I really can't find any mistakes or omissions." Besides, the old man also said that although this business is a joint venture with the second grandmother, the second grandmother must always be the main one. β
Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "Sister's words are not right, there is a way that the brother still settles the account, where can this account be unclear?" I also know that my sister is busy with the big things of the factory now, but she always has to find time to go to the Zhuangzi outside the city to take a look. After all, hearing is false, seeing is believing, and you can't just take the account book and pass by after investing money. β
Fu Qiufang said: "What the second grandmother said-"
"Huh? I said it a few times, and my sister was outside. What kind of second grandmother, that's all called by the people in the house. Although my sister is a concubine, she is in charge of the family business, and she can't compare to ordinary young grandmothers. You and I are better sisters. β
Fu Qiufang couldn't resist Wang Xifeng, so she said with a smile: "From the side of the master and the second master, I should still call the second sister-in-law." β
"It's up to you."
Wang Xifeng got up, looked at the scenery outside Xuantang and said, "I still envy my sister, there is still a quiet place to enjoy the coolness." Unlike Rongguo Mansion, a small garden is still extremely cramped. After a pause, he said: "Yesterday, I got the letter, and the second master said that Brother Jian will set off and return, and I am afraid that I will be able to come back in these two days." β
Fu Qiufang's heart was sour, now it's June, and even the accounts in the factory have to be taken care of by her lover for half a year. Busy during the day, and idle at night, it is inevitable to miss it.
Now, he's coming back.
Fu Qiufang smiled and said, "This time the master has gone back and forth thousands, tens of thousands of miles, but it has been hard. β
"Hard?" Wang Xifeng sneered: "I've heard, Brother Jian has done a lot of things this time!" I can't say it, but after a while, this reward will fall. β
Wang Xifeng's son is really pantothenic acid, and the thrifty brothers are too capable of doing it. Although the iron factory was not completed, the cement business alone shook the government and the opposition!
It's another Jingshi water! It's just a matter of cashing out tens of millions of taels of silver, and the most rare thing is that it has attracted praise from the government and the opposition, saying that this move of the thrifty brothers is beneficial to the country and the people!
In the previous time, there were still officials who called it a competition for benefits with the people, but this time no one said that it was not. Wang Xifeng has been in charge of housework for several years, and he knows that everything has advantages and disadvantages, where is there everyone up and down who is satisfied?
This is true for housework, and even more so for government affairs. Shoufu Chen Hongmou had a long reputation earlier, but his reputation has taken a sharp turn for more than a year, and many people are scolding Chen Hongmou for being a national thief. But if people are thrifty and their brothers do things without leakage, they can be praised up and down.
If there is no accident, not to mention the stone pond that was built, it is for the ten million taels of silver, and the saint will not hesitate to reward it. It's a pity that Brother Jian is still young, and I am afraid that this official position cannot be moved, but the title may be able to move.
A second-class man, and then a first-class man, if you can't say it, you will become a viscount. Rongguofu now has the title of a first-class general, and after two generations, the heirs of the thrifty brothers are still nobles, and it is impossible to say that Rongguofu has become a flat-headed people.
Wang Xifeng's heart is pantothenic, and he only says that he is not ladylike when he meets people. She doesn't want Jia Lian to be comparable to Li Weijian, she just wants to be a little better. However, this time he went south, and the second master Lian could be regarded as seeing the world. Some time ago, the little guy came back to deliver a letter, although Wang Xifeng didn't find out anything, but he also knew from his expression, Jia Lian didn't just see the world, but I was afraid that he saw the world!
That's it, this matter will be left to settle accounts with Jia Lian later. Wang Xifeng saw that it was not early, and after saying a few words to Fu Qiufang, he got up to say goodbye.
Before leaving, Fu Qiufang suddenly said: "Second sister-in-law, the weather is hot now, and it happens that there is a lot of ice stored at home, why don't you bring some back with the second sister-in-law?" β
Wang Xifeng wondered: "Is there ice still in my sister's house?" β
Without waiting for Fu Qiufang to speak, Hongyu smiled and said, "The second grandmother doesn't know, last year to repair the house, the fourth master let people dig the cellar." In the winter, I saved a lot of ice cubes in the three or nine days, and now it is just right for it. β
Fu Qiufang also smiled and said: "The second sister-in-law also knows, there are so many people in the master's house, I am afraid that this ice cube will not be used, it just so happens that the second sister-in-law is here this time, I asked someone to send a car over to enjoy the cool with the second sister-in-law's house." β
Wang Xifeng smiled: "In this case, then I will not be polite." My sister also knows that recently, the price of this ice cube is one a day, and it has risen upwards, even people like us are a little unbearable. β
When he said and laughed, Wang Xifeng was telling the truth, but Fu Qiufang was only smiling. Hongyu immediately ordered someone to move a cart of ice cubes and sent it to Rongguo Mansion with Wang Xifeng's frame.
After bidding farewell to Wang Xifeng, Fu Qiufang and Hongyu returned to the inner house.
These days, there are only two daughters left in the house, and the two support each other and are a lot closer to each other. Hongyu is already clever, although she is not very literate, she is extremely skilled in handling family affairs, and this son has long been used as a help for Fu Qiufang.
Knowing that Fu Qiufang had a bitter summer, Hongyu called the maid to read the summer, prepared the fruit white fungus ice porridge, and the two took the ice cup and drank it, Fu Qiufang thought about it: "The lord wrote a few days ago that he should go back in mid-June, Ming'er, you sent Steward Wu to wait outside the city, and I can't say that the lord will come back in the next few days." β
Hongyu said 'yes', and said with a smile: "The master went to Guangzhou first, and then to Jiangnan, Tuyi must have brought a lot of them, I don't think it would be better to send more people to go, so as not to be in a hurry." β
Fu Qiufang bowed his head and said: "The factory has been busy these days, and the family can't take care of it, so I will take care of it more." β
Hongyu hurriedly sneered, "Where is my aunt?" It's just that it should be shared, where is the need for my aunt to say that? β
Fu Qiufang's pair of autumn water was slightly slanted, and suddenly smiled and quipped: "It's not that the old man hasn't married yet, you are also an aunt, we are all average, why bother to see me?" β
Hongyu suddenly felt ashamed, it was the twenty-eight beauty, and she knew the taste of the marrow, this farewell was half a year, and she thought about it in her heart. Because he couldn't help but say quietly: "The master is coming back soon." β
Fu Qiufang said abruptly: "Yes, it can be regarded as coming back." "What about ruby? Fu Qiufang is not showing up day by day, but she can keep the empty boudoir alone, and she always feels empty in her heart. Now, although Li Weijian has not returned, it can be known that he has returned, and he suddenly has a backbone in his heart. I just wish I could get to my house this time.
The two of them were thinking about it, and suddenly the thought of Xia Xizi was about to come in, and after a little blessing, he said: "Auntie, Steward Wu said that the inner government released the news, and the water affairs stock will pay dividends this or two days." β
Fu Qiufang just agreed. She has to dispose of the accounts of the steam engine factory every few months, and she is used to seeing money spilled out like flowing water, because she doesn't care. I suddenly remembered that the lord still has nearly four cents of shares of the water company, and in twenty years, the dividends of these four cents alone are 60,000 taels!
Sixty thousand taels!
Counting since the last year to move to the present, the family has only spent about 10,000 taels...... Fu Qiufang suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, and finally understood why the old man said that the money in the family could be spent at will, and it couldn't be spent left and right.
Now that I think about it, isn't it just that I can't spend it?
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Approaching the time of Shen, the car marched to the Rongguo Mansion.
Wang Xifeng led the maid to enter the inner door, and Ping'er greeted her. After a few words, Ping'er said: "The old lady is still talking about the second grandmother, saying that she is used to hearing the second grandmother laugh in Su Ri, but she suddenly can't hear it, and she is still a little unaccustomed to it." β
Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "The old lady is too, she is more and more nostalgic when she gets older, and she is not free from it." β
Ping'er said: "It's also the old lady who is proud of the second grandmother, otherwise why only think of the second grandmother and not mention others?" β
Wang Xifeng was a little proud in his heart, giggled for a while, and then ordered: "Brother Zijian's mansion has played the autumn wind and brought back a cart of ice cubes." You don't have to accompany me, go and divide the ice cubes in all directions, lest they all turn into soup in a while. β
Ping'er responded, but still accompanied Wang Xifeng through the hall, and said in a low voice: "Grandma, I got the letter today, saying that the water affairs stock will pay dividends this or two days." β
"Oh?" Wang Xifeng stopped for a moment and said eagerly: "But is it accurate?" β
Ping'er said: "The rumors coming from the eldest lord's courtyard, grandma also knows, the eldest lord has been staring at this matter for a while, and I don't think there should be anything wrong." β
Wang Xifeng suddenly sighed. In the winter of last year, Jia Lian sent Daiyu south to Yangzhou, and this plate of entanglement and Tuyi was about to bring enough, and this time it went to a few thousand taels. In May, if it is not filled, I am afraid that it will be a deficit of two thousand taels of silver.
Wang Xifeng was at a loss, and turned his head to hear the good news. Rongguo Mansion Gongzhong bought 30,000 shares, fixed for 20 years, and should be divided into 1,500 taels per year. With this thousand five hundred taels, if you save some more in four times, you may be able to fool the summer harvest.
"That's a really good thing, okay, I know, turn around and send someone to stare at the water yamen. There you go. β
Ping'er turned around and went to place the ice cubes, Wang Xifeng was in a very good mood, and went all the way to Rongqing Hall, teasing Jia's mother for a lot of laughter and laughter.
Ping'er first sent ice cubes to Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang, and then went to Li Kun's courtyard. Today's grandmother Li Kun came back a little late, and she just had dinner this time.
Ping'er sent ice cubes, and Li Kun smiled Yan Yan.
Ping'er smiled and said: "The eldest grandmother is thanking the wrong person this time, and the whole house will thank the eldest grandmother." β
"What do you mean?" Li Kun asked with a smile.
Su Yun on the side said, "Why is grandma confused? Sister Ping'er said this, this ice cube was naturally sent from the Fourth Lord's Mansion. β
"Really?"
Ping'er smiled and said, "Exactly." Our grandmother went to the mansion of the fourth master of a thrift and met Aunt Fu. Before leaving, Aunt Fu said that there was more ice at home, and it would be a waste if she couldn't use it up, so she sent a car over. β
Li Su hurriedly asked: "Aunt Fu can tell me about the situation at home?" β
Ping'er said: "Everything is in order." also said that the eldest grandmother had not been to the door for a long time, and Aunt Fu and Hongyu missed the eldest grandmother. β
Li Kun ironed in his heart, sighed and said: "My brother is so young, who would have thought that he would be able to start a household at such an age." It's also a shame that Qiu Fang is a proper one, and there is a red jade to help her, if this is not the case, there will definitely be chickens and dogs in this family. β
Ping'er just smiled and didn't agree. I secretly wondered in my heart, with the heart of the fourth master, where would I make a mess at home? Even if there is no Fu Qiufang, there is also red jade, and without red jade, he will definitely find a proper woman to take care of the housework. I just don't know what kind of thrifty fourth master I can do, what kind of housewife will marry in the future.
Ping'er said: "Speaking of frugality, the fourth master will return in a few days, and the eldest grandmother will also take the time to go to the fourth master's house to take a look. β
Li Kun suddenly became interested and said, "It can be said that it is." I thought about it, and took half of the past two days to take a look. Qiu Fang is young in the end, and she is afraid of being coaxed by the people below. β
After saying this, Li Kun remembered the strange fruit he had just obtained from the palace, so he sent Biyue to fetch a basket and give it to Ping'er.
Ping'er faintly smelled the smell, looked at the huge fruit inside, and wondered, "What kind of fruit is this?" β
Li Kun said: "It is said that it is a fruit paid tribute by Qianxiang Kingdom, and it is called Shaozi." The county lord divided two of them, but he couldn't stand the taste, so he gave them to me. You see, this fruit smells bad, but it tastes very sweet. I thought I would let the old lady try it, but I was afraid that the old lady would eat it badly, and it would become my sin.
I'm afraid that the old lady will eat it well, and there is nowhere to find this thing.
yes, let's just share this fruit privately. β
Ping'er suddenly smiled: "It's still the eldest grandmother who thinks thoughtfully." It's justβ"
Li Kun smiled and said, "Okay, I still have one here, you can take this one and share it with your grandmother." β
"Hey." Ping'er knew that Li Kun had a good relationship, and remembered the matter of dividends, so she whispered to Li Kun.
Ping'er only vaguely guessed that Li Kun had water stocks in his hands, but he didn't know how much. If you know that Li Kun has a penny of shares in his hand, and the dividend alone will be 15,000 taels a year, I am afraid that I will be staggered!
Li Kun confessed his feelings in his heart, but pretended to be indifferent on his face, and talked to Ping'er for a while, and then sent him out of the door.
Fifteen thousand taels, a big husband can't be without power for a day, and a little woman can't be without wealth for a day! This 15,000 taels a year is Li Kun's confidence, because since last year, Li Weijian gave shares, Li Kun has changed his stinginess in the past days, and has become extremely refreshing, which has provoked the praise of the sisters-in-law.
Li Kun returned to the house, thinking about going to Brother Jian'er's house tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, while thinking, he didn't know where Brother Jian'er had arrived at this time.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Ping'er came out of Li Kun's place, took two huge ice cubes from the warehouse, and sent them to the Yingchun Courtyard near the left side of the East Compound.
The sun is blazing in June, and the small courtyard of spring is adjacent to the small garden, and the front of the door is shaded by green trees, which is rare and quiet.
Catching a glimpse of Ping'er from afar, the big girl Siqi greeted her.
smiled and said, "That gust of wind blew Sister Ping'er here?" β
"Cool breeze, I'm here to bring ice cubes to your girl."
When Si Qi heard this, he immediately rejoiced: "Our girl is in a bitter summer, and this ice cube is really timely." Not only our girl, but Sister Ping'er, look-" Si Qi pointed to the red pox on his forehead and said, "It's so hot this day, even I'm on fire." β
Ping'er glanced at him and teased: "You, I'm afraid it's a fire in your heart." β
"Huh?" Si Qi was startled, she was complaining that the fourth master had been gone for half a year, and she had only used Mr. Jiao to understand the lovesickness for a long time, but she was unexpectedly pointed out by Ping'er!
Ping'er said: "I heard that you quarreled with Mama Wang again?" β
Si Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly frowned and said: "That old pious woman relied on the milk to pass the girl, and it was not over to take advantage of the girl." The chilled lotus seed soup in front of her was originally reserved for the girl, and Mama Wang only asked when she came, and she copied it and ate it. Zhenzhen has such a big face, where is there a master in her eyes? β
Ping'er said: "I heard that Mama Wang ran to the eldest lady and wiped her tears, you should pay attention to it recently." β
Si Qihun didn't care and said, "So what? It's just a big word to say that the sky is broken. If the eldest lady thinks that I shouldn't protect the girl, just drive me out of the house. β
Ping'er said angrily: "It's so decent, why did it get to you?" Don't say it, the more you say it, the more unreliable it becomes. β
As she spoke, the second girl Yingchun sat quietly and playing. When he saw Ping'er, he hurriedly greeted him.
After a few words, Ping'er ordered someone to carry the huge ice cubes from both sides in, and Yingchun blinked, and said, "This ...... How is the ice so big this time? β
Ping'er smiled and said: "This is not bought in the house, our grandmother came back from the thrifty fourth master's house, and Aunt Fu said that there was more ice at home, so she sent a car over." β
Yingchun was in a trance, her marriage with Li Weijian was delayed, although the frugal brother swore an oath, but she inevitably thought about it in her heart.
At this time, I heard Ping'er quip: "The girl next to me is just afraid that she will be smaller." But the second girl here should always get two big ...... Left and right are their own belongings. β
Yingchun suddenly had a red cloud on his face, and stammered: "Ping...... Sister Ping'er! β
Ping'er said: "I'm afraid that the fourth master of Jian will be on the road this time, and he will return to Beijing in three or five days." Cluck...... That's it, I still have to send ice cubes to the third and fourth girls, the second girl rests, I'm leaving. β
Ping'er left, Yingchun sat idly, picked up the rope but was stunned. Thinking of the frugal brothers, I somehow remembered the shameful place...... She wondered in her heart, she was usually despised by him, and she was shy and didn't say anything in her heart, and she was always a little awkward later, for fear of spreading it.
I haven't seen it for half a year, and I have dreamed seven or eight times at night, and each time I am underestimating myself. Now that I think about it, I faintly miss that lightness.
With a sigh, Yingchun collected his thoughts, played a few times, and suddenly saw the big girl Siqi on the side was also stunned. The look on that face was vaguely like looking in a mirror. Not only that, Si Qi also bit his fingers, his face flushed, causing Yingchun to suddenly feel a chill under him, and he couldn't help but put his legs together.
"You-"
Si Qi came back to his senses and wondered: "Is there something wrong with the girl?" β
The second girl was annoyed, and she didn't know how to speak, so she said, "I'm a little hot, you go and pick up some ice cubes." β
Si Qi should play, move the lotus step away. Yingchun pouted, feeling a little surprised in his heart, thinking that he would not call Si Qi to help next time...... Blind! Why are you so shameless?
Yingchun buried his head in the bedding, and almost rolled back and forth with the quilt.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Ping'er sent ice cubes to Tanchun and Xichun, and then turned to Lixiangyuan.
Ping'er is a thoughtful and proper person, just because Aunt Xue went to the Wang family with Xue Pan today, and she has not returned yet, and only Miss Bao is left in the house, because this is the last ice cube to be sent.
Out of the east corner of the door on the road, looking up is the small courtyard in the northeast where the fourth master once lived, but now it is assigned to Xue Pan to live. Although she didn't say it explicitly, Ping'er knew that Aunt Xue was afraid that Xue Pan would cause trouble outside, so she discussed it with Mrs. Wang, and said that she had moved the old lady, so she sent Xue Pan here.
The door of the courtyard was open, and the warbler Yanyan was laughing inside, and most of them were Xue Pan's concubines. Ping'er is disgusted in her heart, and she only feels that things are wrong.
Walking quickly, he arrived in front of Delixiang Courtyard after a while, but he happened to bump into Aunt Xue who was returning.
After seeing the ceremony, the Tao came to the meaning, and the two of them entered the inside one after the other.
Miss Bao heard the sound and greeted her, and the three of them exchanged pleasantries, and then they were able to enter the inside.
Ping'er said: "This ice cube was not purchased in the house, but my grandmother went to the house of the thrifty fourth master today, and Aunt Fu said that there were too many ice cubes at home, so she sent a car." The second grandmother sent me to scatter, and everyone had a share. β
Aunt Xue smiled: "Yo, go back and take me to thank Sister Feng." β
Ping'er smiled and bowed her head, and said: "Yes, I heard that the water affairs stock in the inner government will pay dividends in the next two days, and my aunt should not forget it." β
Aunt Xue said, "I heard it today, tsk," turned her head to look at Baochai and said, "Your aunt said that a dozen taels of silver carts came from the inner mansion, and the stone road in front of the inner mansion was crushed!" β
When Ping'er saw that everything was in order, she got up and said, "Since Mrs. Aunt knows, then I'll go back first." β
"Hey, Tongxi, Tonggui, send Miss Ping'er on my behalf."
The two maids sent Ping'er out of the hospital without mentioning it.
Seeing that Ping'er was walking away, Aunt Xue smiled and her face sank like water.
Sister Bao leaned over and said with a cup of warm tea: "Auntie...... What did you say this time? β
"Hmph, what can she say?" Aunt Xue was angry. Since the last time Uncle Wang was plotting the Xue family's property, Aunt Xue was on guard.
This time, the Wang family invited again and again, and Aunt Xue thought that it was time to tell Xue Pan about a marriage, so she led Xue Pan to the door.
When it came to Xue Pan's marriage, Aunt Wang only vaguely revealed it, neither said that she should accept it, nor did she say that she would refuse it, she was hanging like this, and she didn't mean to do her best. When it came to the matter of dividends in the inner mansion, the Xue family bought 80,000 shares, and this time it was not more than 4,000 taels of silver, which made the Wang's aunt red.
It was only said that Wang Ziteng inspected the nine sides and got a little money, so he asked the Xue family to help sell it and exchange it into a water stock that was guaranteed by drought and flood.
Aunt Xue immediately knew that something was wrong! The wealth and goods obtained by the prince, except for the hard currencies such as gold and silver, are mostly leather goods and mountain treasures, and they must be shipped slowly. If the shipment is urgent, it will definitely not be able to sell at a price.
Uncle Wang is a shallow eyelid, and she insists that the wealth is worth hundreds of thousands of taels, which is missing, is it difficult for the Xue family to fill it?
Besides, now the stock of the water company is one market a day, one or two dollars when it is low, and it can rise to one or two or three dollars when it is high. Hundreds of thousands of silver coins, counting on 100,000 shares, where is it so easy?
Don't ask yourself, if you accept it, you can't say that in the end, the Xue family will have to lose their shares!
Aunt Xue was annoyed by this sister-in-law, she didn't talk more than half a sentence, and forced herself to have dinner, and then led Xue Pan back to Rongguo Mansion.
Even if the two sides have not torn their faces, they can be regarded as cracks. Now the Xue family has sold a lot of money-losing livelihoods, and there is a lot of money in their hands, but they have nowhere to invest.
Anxious Aunt Xue, in the past few months, she has not even bought less shares of the Xishan Coal Mine. Although there are losses and gains, you can still protect the capital if you calculate carefully.
Originally, it was okay like this, but I got a letter today.
Aunt Xue frowned and said, "My son, that frugal brother...... In Jiangnan, it has spread out a lot of business! Listening to your aunt, not only did she earn tens of millions of silver for the inner government, but she also won praise from all over the world. That makes a living...... Called, called Rausch's cement business! β
Sister Bao's hands holding the tea paused slightly, and Gujing Bubo said: "Fourth Brother Jian is capable...... Didn't you hear the rumors in the house before? How did Mom talk about this? β
Aunt Xue said, "My son, you said that the shares of the cement business, can you ask Brother Jian to buy some for our family?" After a pause, he said: "I thought, it's not a way out for us to sit and eat like this." β
Sister Bao's heart was twisted, but her face was not obvious, and she said: "Jiangnan is thousands of miles away, but I am afraid that the fourth brother will not be able to make a move." There are still some money-making livelihoods at home, but as long as you watch your brother Mo let him lose, he can still maintain it. β
Aunt Xue sighed: "Hey, this time, Brother Jian can't say that he has to be promoted again." I was blinded at the beginning, my son, but I was bitter for you. β
Baochai said calmly: "Is it a blessing for Saiong to lose his horse? If you miss it, you miss it, Mom doesn't have to say that. And there is nothing wrong with Brother Bao. β
Aunt Xue hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, my son, it's good if you want to open it." Since the front is missing, this treasure jade is not good to miss again. β
"Mom, I know."
After saying this, Aunt Xue went to change her clothes, and Sister Bao sat quietly in place, slightly distracted. In his heart, he secretly thought that the fourth brother of Jian would definitely go to Yangzhou when he went south this time. I don't know about it and Miss Lin...... There is no landing.
