Tong Jia anecdote

<eight>

"Looking at the second lady of Fucha's family?" Hong Xiao put on a serious face when she saw Tong Jiu coming back, wondering what her plans were next, when she would go north, so that she could pack her bags in advance.

"It's boring." Tong Jiu frowned. "You look really good, but your attitude towards people is really a widow and creditor." Afterwards, she gave Hong Xiao a brief introduction of the scene where she and Ji Lan met. again.

Hong Xiao smiled lightly and took the contract document signed by Tong Jiu today, read it carefully, and put it away.

Saying Jilan's name in Manchu language, "Jilan means love. Don't be annoyed, brother, follow her and learn well, and you will surely achieve great success in the future. She can keep this family business with her body as a woman. It’s not just the lineage of the clan.”

Tong Jiu didn't speak, and Hong Xiao went on to say, "As the Han people say, loyal words are harmful to the ear and good for deeds, so choose the good one and follow it. She is willing to take the risk to do this meeting with my brother, which proves that this person has some insight and courage. Brother You can't be conflicted because of these personal preferences. The future plans of our two families are still growing."

"I know the truth of working hard and working hard." Tong Jiu reassured herself, "No matter how good she is, she is just a widow. One day, I will definitely surpass her!" Thinking about Ji Lan's attitude just now , Tong Jiu squinted his eyes in displeasure, "Pick up things, let's go to Baotou Mansion."

Tong Jiu called the supervisors from various places to arrange the work at home, and set off early the next morning.

"Master Jiu, the second master of the Fu family is here to see you off." The caravan came up to the official and said, the carriage of the Fu family came from a distance and stopped in front of it, and the young man in front came to report.I saw Ji Lan getting out of the car in a black mandarin jacket and cape.

"Second Master, stop." Tong Jiu saw who was coming, dismounted and walked forward quickly, and bowed his hands politely to Ji Lan.

Ji Lan reached out and asked Fu Chaqin to offer a bowl of sake, and said, "Your brother is going here, the mountains are high and the road is far away, so you must take care of it. I advise you to drink one more glass of wine. There is no old friend when you leave Yangguan in the west."

Tong Jiu took the wine bowl, looked at the reflections of the two people in the bowl, felt a lot in his heart, nodded gratefully, drank the wine and said solemnly, "Don't worry, second master, I will definitely not let you down of trust."

"Let's go, when you come back, Brother Yu is still here to welcome you." Ji Lan led her to the horse, "Take care!"

Tong Jiu got on his horse, said goodbye to Ji Lan, waved his hand, and led the caravan on the road.

"Miss, do you think he can do it this time?" Fu Chami put away the bowl, seeing Ji Lan staring at the direction the caravan was going away, he didn't look away for a long time.

"The one took the money yesterday and left early today, which shows that he is a fruitful person. As for the success of this business, it depends not only on his own ability, but also on his good luck." Ji Lan looked away, thinking I don't know why, but for this child whom I have not known for a long time, there is some sadness of reluctance to say goodbye.

Back at the mansion, Fu Chaqin untied Ji Lan's clothes and said, "Brother Lan, the bags are already packed. I came back to tell you that the boat is ready. Shall we leave at noon?"

"Well, I'll leave at noon." Ji Lan took a shower and changed clothes.

"This time I went to Beijing more than a month earlier than in previous years. Tell me, is the lady here to help that surnamed Han?" When Fuchaqin came out, Fuchami whispered to her sister: "I got up early to see him off." .”

"It's rare for my brother to have someone who is similar in business, so let her go. Just one thing I have to tell you, these matters at home, you can't mention a word to the eldest lady when you arrive in the capital." Fu Chaqin is most worried about this outspoken sister.

"Oh, I'll save it." Fuchami pouted, "Could it be that I still can't tell the master?"

"Just save it." Fu Chaqin entered the room.

And here, after Tong Jiu walked out for a while, it was noon to rest, and outside the long pavilion on the side of the road, the guys took out dry food and started to have lunch.

Tong Jiu and Hong Xiao were sitting on the ground under a towering tree. Tong Jiu chewed the jerky and looked at the long official road with emotion, "I have walked this road several times. The moods are different every time. .”

Hong Xiao took a straw hat and put it on her, "It's such a poisonous sun, you should try to cover it by riding a horse."

"I think it's blocking my eyes." Tong Jiu reluctantly took off the straw hat, and then the melon skin hat on his head, "I lost my braids, and my scalp hurts."

"It's not out of customs yet. How can you let your braids loose in the clear sky?" Hong Xiao smiled and took the hat in her hand, and put it on for her properly. "Brother is now the head of the family. What’s more, it’s extremely important. If you are so casual, they will have other guesses, so it’s better to be more solemn.”

Tong Jiu frowned, but she listened to the persuasion. Ren Hongxiao put on her straw hat and tied it again, and silently chewed a few mouthfuls of jerky, "I know it's not that easy to go, but I have no way out, and I don't want to. retreat."

Hong Xiao withdrew her hand and sighed, "Brother, the day you shaved your head on the boat, you should have thought that this road is not so easy to walk. Have you ever thought about how you will become and lose on this trip?" So what?"

Tong Jiu lowered her head and said in a deep voice, "If it succeeds, I will make the business bigger. If it fails, I will go to accompany my mother. In fact, I am going this time just to ask for directions. Today's business, What the folks earn is nothing more than scattered silver. Why is the Yangzhengtang of Fucha's family so prosperous? It's not because she is an official businessman, and what she provides is imperial medicine. The medicine that is used by the heavenly family is naturally even more flocked by the subjects. "

"Yeah, there are people in the court who are easy to handle, and I have thought of getting into the palace by relying on the contacts of the Fucha family. But, I have never thought about what I want and how to live Is it?" Since Tong Jia Naduo became Han Luqi, Hong Xiao found that she really changed a lot.

These external changes of being quiet and reticent do not count, and the heart seems to have become less clear.If she guessed correctly, she must have had some plans in her heart early in the morning, and this plan was probably about Cousin Qi Jia, whom she kept silent about.

Seeing that she stopped talking, Hong Xiao took her hand, "I asked myself how much older I am than you. What you are thinking now is all I have passed by. You listen to your sister and live well for yourself. Master and Madam Things are already like that, if you make it hard for yourself, you will regret it sooner or later."

Tong Jiu closed her eyes and shook her head, opened her eyes and looked at Hong Xiao seriously, and squeezed her hand, "Sister, I won't regret it."

"Brother, people have to live according to their own heart in order to have a bright future. Don't force yourself to change your ambitions for others. When that person is gone, you can see through it. You want to turn back, but you also stumble. I won't be born anymore. You listen to my sister!"

"Sister, I've already given birth to Huafa." Tong Jiu stroked her braid, looked at a white hair inside, and pointed it to Hong Xiao, "In the past six months, I seem to be getting old."

"Stupid child, just talking nonsense." Hong Xiao looked at the white hair on her braid carefully, and her heart ached, she stroked her braid and said, "If you are old, wouldn't I Read?"

During this period of time, she could see Tong Jiu's gloomy face every day, but what could be done?

Tong Jiu has been thoughtful and thoughtful since she was a child, and she keeps many things in her heart just like that.Her heart can't be entered by others, and she doesn't want to say it herself. Only one day when she understands it by herself, can this hurdle be considered over.

Maybe there will be someone who can give her a hand in my heart in the future, but I know that that person is not me.

"Sister, I really hate her!" Tong Jiu suddenly uttered a sentence without knowing it.

"I know." Hong Xiao sent Tong Jiu's braid back behind her, and patted her on the shoulder, "But, don't make things difficult for yourself, it's not worth it."

"Sister, after passing her, I will remind myself in my heart every day that I don't trust people anymore." Tong Jiu sniffed, stood up, and looked into the distance, her eyes were far away but out of focus.

"My brother is wrong to think so. You still have to believe. After all, there are many good people in the world." Hong Xiao sensed Tong Jiu's extreme, and looked into the distance with her and said.

"I'm not talking about business, or anything else—" Tong Jiu frowned and explained half a sentence, feeling bored, so she didn't go on.

"I know, what you're talking about is emotional." Hong Xiao glanced at Tong Jiu's side face, and said with a light smile, "It's the same, there are many good people."

Tong Jiu tilted her head to look at Hong Xiao, and opened her mouth awkwardly. After all, she didn't argue too much with her, but waved her hand impatiently, "That's all."

After another moment of silence, Tong Jiu pointed to the resting coolies and porters beside the official road, and said leisurely, "Actually, suddenly today, I also have times when I can't think about it. But looking at them, I can see everything away. I’m not as good as the top, but I’m more than the bottom.”

"Yes, some people have lived their whole life, and some have been here for generations, like cows, horses, slaves, and handmaids. They eat the last meal and never finish it, let alone talk about love, but they are still alive. .Brother, these are only temporary, and will change in the future." Hong Xiao said affirmatively.

"Yes, I can't be like this for the rest of my life!" Tong Jiu also rested enough, and she regained her energy and confidence, pulled the gown on her body, patted off the grass sticks at the hem, and greeted everyone to set off.

As for Fucha's mansion, at noon, Ji Lan took a group of servant girls, the shopkeeper and the steward onto the boat, and went north to the capital by water and land.

When he didn't know Tong Jiu before, Ji Lan's energy was only focused on the Xinglin world.But since getting acquainted with Tong Jiu, she has gradually become interested in the business of rice, grain, cloth, tea, etc. other than medicinal materials.

In recent years, an idea has gradually sprouted in her mind. Although she is not involved in any of these industries, it is closely related to all walks of life. She wants to open a bank account.

The reason why she appreciates Tong Jiu is not only because of his rogue skills and persistent energy, but also because Tong Jiu can figure out how to circulate the goods hoarded in his family through interest, so that a pile of dead things can go smoothly turned into silver.

A merchant can only be regarded as a merchant if he keeps his commodities in circulation and earns the price difference.

Due to the limitations of her own identity, she cannot be used in many aspects, and her cognition is not very comprehensive.

She thinks that Tong Jiu is a malleable talent in business. This time, let's see how he does outside the customs. If she really achieves the results she expected, it is not impossible to consider the development of the two companies together.

Thinking of this, Tong Jiu's melancholy but slightly stubborn eyes floated in front of her eyes, Ji Lan hesitated for a moment, she always felt that Tong Jiu's melancholy was not just because of the Han family's downfall.
