"The cloth number will be laid after the integration of Fengzihao is completed, and a sum of money must be borrowed from the collected money."

"That's all for now, Ice Room's business, Wanxiang Building, Shengshi Bookstore, Storyteller's Guangde Society, Sixi Team, Taiping Tea House, Taiping Buhao..."

"Although there are people taking care of everything, the ice room and Wanxiang building are directly under the control of the Qi family, and we are only responsible for monitoring. But we still need to integrate all the places, which will take a lot of effort. My thanks The second uncle is the big treasurer of the Delin, that's why."

When Baoqin came back, when she entered the door, she saw her drunken cousin Xue Pan leaning on the chair and giggling. She entered the door and hurriedly motioned her to move lightly so as not to disturb the inside.

Baoqin was curious, walked over to listen for a while, and heard the conversation inside.

After listening to this paragraph, her beautiful eyes widened, but her brows were furrowed. She looked at Xue Biao and whispered, "Brother, Brother Qiang wants to ask Daddy to be the shopkeeper? But Daddy's body..."

Xue Biao smiled, and said softly: "That day, the precious medicine from Ning Temple was very suitable for the symptoms, and my father was already much better. Besides, the second elder brother said that there is no need for father to run around. When the time comes, I will run more errands."

Baoqin still couldn't figure it out, how could her elder brother agree, she wondered: "Brother, why don't we start our own business?"

Hearing this, Xue Biao couldn't help but faintly smile. He shook his head and said, "I shouldn't have told my sister about the outside world, because I was afraid that you would be worried, and I was also worried that my mother would find out that you would be annoyed... But it's all right now, at this point, On the contrary, we can tell the truth. After the uncle passed away, the Xue family has deteriorated year after year. It would be nice if the cousin could live up to his expectations, but... alas.

As for our family, my father was originally a concubine, and he separated from the family early on. The remaining shade of the Xue family will not fall on us.This business is not as simple as buying and selling goods, and there must be official affairs behind it.If it doesn't matter, those little devils who eat what they want can be half-lived by tossing business.

Dad was better when his body was strong, and he could always make amends, but these years, most of the time, Dad can only recuperate at home, and our own business is in decline... Not to mention our family, even the name of Feng in the hands of my cousin, Not much better. "

Baoqin was extremely intelligent, and when she realized it, she hesitated and said, "Aren't there many old relatives in Xue's family?"

Xue Biao smiled wryly when he heard the words, shook his head and said: "It's the uncle's room that has old relatives, not us. And even if the old relatives are old, they need to be well-matched to go in the long run. If one party becomes poor relatives and poor friends, this way is also the same. It won't last forever. But..."

After a pause, a smile appeared on Xue Biao's face, and he whispered: "Now Daddy has agreed to Brother Qiang to be the shopkeeper of the Delin, and the situation is different again. Although Brother Qiang is young, he is a very strong person." A great person. Not to mention the capital, only in the south of the Yangtze River, he has done so many amazing things in a short time. In Yangzhou Mansion, he was inseparable with the Qi family and the Xu family, and the Chen family, Li family, and Peng family Interests are related, and Lin Yushi, the Yamen of Yanyuan, also values ​​him very much. Even if the Yamen of Yanyuan will be abolished in half a year, Han Banshan, the governor of Liangjiang, also thinks highly of Brother Qiang.

Officially, the road has been paved.Not to mention, the Jia family's roots in the south of the Yangtze River are extremely deep. There is only one Zhen family, so there is no need to mention it elsewhere.

With these connections, it was easy to build the Delin, and it didn't bother my father much.Besides, Second Brother Qiang is benevolent and willing to bring Feng Zihao to work with our family. This is taking care of our family.With this relationship, the distant relatives who were alienated in the past will soon come back. "

It sounds a bit ugly and bitter to say, but this is reality.

Although Xue Biao is only fifteen this year, in the past two years, he has traveled back and forth several times, and has seen more people and worlds than most people have ever seen in a lifetime.

At first I felt sad, humiliated and hopeless, but then I gradually realized that this is the way of the world.

Now Jia Qiang needs the help of Xue Ming and the Feng name of the Xue family, and by the way, he also brings them to success together. She is willing to share her contacts and official resources with the Xue family. This is a win-win situation.

Therefore, Xue Biao was very happy.

Baoqin doesn't care much about this, as long as she knows that her family is safe, she looked at Xue Pan who had started snoring, and said with a smile: "When I was young, what my uncle and dad were most worried about was whether my cousin could support Feng's name. ..."

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly saw Xue Biao pointing to her lips, motioning her to calm down, and pointing inward.

Baoqin stopped talking and listened to the conversation inside together, her face blushed immediately.

I shouldn't have listened, but it involves a lifelong event, so I suppressed my shame and listened...

"Second Uncle, do you have any thoughts on the matter of the Mei family? The eldest wife of the Mei family and most of the family members have been released, and a second small courtyard has been returned for him to live in. In addition, the second room of the Mei family His eldest son, Mei Huai, will also be released, and the Yanyuan Yamen and Liangjiang Governor's Mansion will reward him. When he is elected in high school, he will be promoted."

After talking about some business lines, Jia Qiang was about to leave, but she remembered the Mei family affairs, so she talked to Xue Ming.

Hearing this, Xue Ming felt unbearably miserable.

At the beginning when he married Mei Zhen who had just entered the Imperial Academy, of course he was in love with the Mei family's invaluable future, but at that time the Xue family was far from declining. The two brothers, Li Xueming, used their wealth to hook up with the wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River, which can be considered astonishingly wealthy.

He and Meizhen's family can be called a good match.

In Meizhen Huangbang High School, the relationship with the eldest son of the Mei family has eased a bit, and they have borrowed a lot of money.

But in a place like the Hanlin Academy, it is the best place to visit teachers frequently and ask the elders for advice in the same year as the Cantonese Academy.

If you want to get ahead early, you need to spend a sea of ​​gold and silver.

Those who can afford it will naturally be able to get ahead early and get promoted step by step.

For those who can't afford it, just stay in the Imperial Academy to watch the government and look after them, work through the qualifications, and look forward to the day when they will come out.

This time may be three to five years, ten or eight years, even more than 20 years, and it is not uncommon.

Mei Zhen needed too much money in order to gain a position. Jiangnan Mei's family was still headed by Mr. Fu Weng at the time, and he didn't like the way the second room showed when they were competing for property, so it was impossible to supply too much.

Mei Zhen borrowed tens of thousands of taels of silver from Xue Ming...

Originally it was said that Mei Zhen would pay back when she was released to the state capital, but the Xue family's momentum has been getting weaker every year in the past few years, and the Mei family has never mentioned the matter of paying back the money.

Xue Ming also recognized it, and it was only Bao Qin's dowry for marrying into the Mei family in the future.

I didn't expect that I would come to this step today.

Xue Ming was really shocked by Mei Zhen's expression after tearing her face off that day.

He couldn't figure it out, how could an old friend who had been with him for decades have such a face?

This is also the Hanlin who has read poetry and books?

At this point, not to mention that the Mei family has stumbled, even if the Mei family still has a bright future, it is impossible for him to marry a daughter.

Isn't the daughter bullied to death in such a family?

Thinking of this, Xue Ming shook his head and said: "Speaking of what happened that day, Brother Qiang, you were also there and saw it with your own eyes. It was not my Xue family's powerful eyes. Seeing that the Mei family was in trouble... well, since this marriage has already If it's broken, then let's break it. No matter how high the Mei family's father and son can be in the future, my Xue family can't afford this marriage. Otherwise, Qin'er will be bullied after marrying."

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "Okay, if that's the case, I understand. There's no need to treat Mei Huai as a relative..."

Xue Ming smiled wryly when he heard the words, and said: "Although the matter has come to this point, please ask Brother Qiang to tell the Mei family and his son on your behalf. The tens of thousands of taels of silver borrowed by the Mei family will not have to be repaid. Then the Mei family and his son... please ask Brother Qiang to try to let me They got out of Yangzhou Mansion alive, don't want to die in an accidental fire or fall into the water."

When Jia Qiang heard this, she somewhat understood why Xue Ming didn't attack Chaofeng after so many years of Xue Li's death.

This is indeed a rare kind man.

But, doesn't he understand the truth that if you beat a snake and don't die, you will end up with troubles?

What's more, the person the Mei family and his son hate the most is not the Xue family, but Jia Qiang.

But on the bright side, Jia Qiang still agreed to Xue Ming...

……

Come out from the guest courtyard and go back to the small study.

When I opened the door, I saw Daiyu sitting in front of the desk, drawing in circles with a pen, apparently correcting the essays he had done before.

Hearing the movement at the door, Daiyu glanced sideways, and seeing Jia Qiang enter the door, she said meaningfully: "I didn't expect that you are so busy now, and you still have time to make a fuss... Sister Baoqin has gone back?"

Jia Qiang laughed heartily when she heard this, but she said solemnly: "I went back, but I didn't see her, she was taking care of her mother. As for being busy... Auntie doesn't know, but now in the eyes of others, although I am amazing, I am stunning. Fengshen is handsome, turning his hands into clouds, turning his hands into rain, resourceful, rare talents, and daily management..."

"Pfft!"
