Xie Jinyu thought that it was about this time in his previous life. He was recuperating in Zhuangzi when he suddenly learned that Xie Ziyi had been detained.

At that time, he only thought that his step-wife tried to lure him back to Xie's mansion.It wasn't until Xie's father returned home, Xie Ziyi was released, and several well-known workshops in the six counties in the southwest began to manufacture kiln porcelain that he knew that Xie Ziyi sold the kiln porcelain production recipe handed down by Xie's family to him in order to escape. someone else!

The Xie family made their fortune by making porcelain with their own hands. Although they have a small family fortune, there is still a certain gap compared with those wealthy businessmen in the southwest.Just because Xie Ziyi fell into someone else's trap, the recipe for making porcelain was leaked, and the business of Xie's family suffered a devastating blow.

After that, the Xie family tried their best, but there was still no good way to save the Xie kiln porcelain that had been in the quagmire, and the Xie family began to decline since then.

Although Xie Jinyu is Father Xie's only son, he didn't pay attention to it in his previous life.He was born as a younger brother, and he was destined to marry and have children in the future. Father Xie also doted on him in every possible way, and never let him get involved in any business matters.The most he does in a day is to drink tea and admire flowers, watch operas and listen to music. He looks like a standard son raised in a deep boudoir.

Xie Jinyu didn't think there was anything wrong, because all the brothers around him were like this, especially the brothers from rich families. Although they were well-educated, they were all for the sake of helping their husbands and raising their children in the future, adding fragrance to their husband's red sleeves, and adding a little boudoir fun .

Da Xichao was born with three types of people: men, women and brothers.Although the brother's appearance is almost the same as that of a man, he is fertile!

Therefore, the shackles of patriarchal ethics and ethics here not only act on women, but also suppress the growth environment of brothers.

In the previous life, Xie father had no sons, and the huge family business seemed to have no successors.Xie's father obeyed the family's arrangement and planned to adopt a child of a Xie family brother as his heir. Xie Jinyu did not object, because he also needed the support of his family to live comfortably in his in-law's house, especially after he got married, if the Xie family became more powerful, His position will be more stable.

It's a pity that Xie Ziyi, who was selected by thousands of people in the family, can't support the wall. He only talks on paper. When it comes to real practice, he either makes such a mistake, or offends a certain partner, and messes up the business of Xie's family!

The reason why Father Xie stayed away from home for so long this time was to clean up the mess of Xie Ziyi's last peace talks.

In the previous life, Xie's father had exhausted all his efforts for Xie Jinyu. Whether it was a step-heir or recruiting a son-in-law for him, he had a loving father's heart. How could he have imagined that so many unconscionable things would happen later.

In the last life, when Xie Jinyu was lying on the hospital bed, he was thinking that if he could live again, he would never think of relying on anyone again!

He thinks that his scheming and knowledge are no worse than any man in the clan, and because he is the younger brother, he can only marry and have children honestly, waiting for the meager sympathy of the man's conscience after he finds out.

He was fed up with this kind of life, why can a man spend time and wine, have three wives and four concubines, but he can only stick to one end and abide by women's morals?

This is not fair!

He wants to rely on his own hands to lead the Xie family to another glory, and he wants to let everyone in the world see that brothers and women are no worse than men!

Xie Jinyu put away the ambition in his eyes, deliberately put down the few strands of black hair on his forehead, and after a little bit of panic, he opened the door with a panicked face, and said anxiously, "What happened? Seizure?"

His eyes were panicked but not at a loss, his tone was anxious but not panicked, although his messy black hair made him look a bit embarrassed, but the demeanor around him could make people see that he was well-educated.

The eldest son is knowledgeable about books and etiquette, and the relationship between siblings is very good!

Manager Qian who came to report the letter nodded, already having a good impression of Xie Jinyu in his heart.

Xie Jinyu didn't know that he could increase Guanshi Qian's favorability so much just by pretending to be a little bit. He looked at Guanshi Qian who came forward to report the letter, and said, "This steward, but Grandpa Wu asked him Are you here?"

The Grandpa Wu Xie Jinyu spoke of was the housekeeper of the Xie family, and most of the business of the Xie family had to go through him.He is the confidant left by Mr. Xie. It can be said that he watched Father Xie and Xie Jinyu grow up, and his status is very respected, second only to the masters of the Xie family.Even if the step-wife saw him, she would not dare to make a mistake.

This time, Xie Jinyu was able to come to Zhuangzi to cultivate in peace, and he entrusted Butler Wu to help.

Steward Qian nodded, "That's right, it was Steward Wu who asked the villain to inform the young master! The master is not at home, and such a big event happened, and steward Wu dare not make his own decision, so he came to ask the young master to go home and preside over the overall situation."

Xie Jinyu was taken aback for a moment, why did the meaning behind the words sound like he was telling him to go home and seize power?

Although this happened at this time in the previous life, Xie Jinyu didn't even show his face, so naturally he didn't know what the original words conveyed by Qian Guanshi were.But if it was the same in the previous life, did Grandpa Wu have the idea of ​​letting him fight for power early on?Otherwise, why pass such a passage over, don't you still have a stepmother and several clan elders at home?

Xie Jinyu calmed down, and frowned, wondering, "Jinyu is just a little brother, and has never intervened in these matters. There are also wives and clan elders at home. Didn't Grandpa Wu inform them?"

Steward Qian was stunned, apparently he did not expect Xie Jinyu to ask him this way, he remembered the butler's order, so he had to bite the bullet and answer, "It's about the Xie family, it's best for the young master to come forward, as for the wife and clan elders, the butler will inform .”

Sure enough, Butler Wu really wanted him to intervene in Xie's business!

But why?Xie Jinyu pondered for a moment, still unable to figure out why Steward Wu did this, but with Steward Wu's support, it would only be smoother for him to intervene in the family's business.

After Xie Jinyu figured this out, she was immediately full of confidence, pursed her lips and said firmly, "I can't just sit idly by when the Xie family is in trouble, and Zi Yi is also a younger brother I value very much. If that’s the case, let’s go back to Xie’s mansion now!”

"Okay, okay!" Steward Qian was very happy, and hurriedly asked people to prepare the carriage.

"My lord—" The servant dared to speak out when Steward Qian was away. He was extremely surprised by Xie Jinyu's decision. Didn't your lord always ignore these mundane things?

Xie Jinyu shook her head, not wanting to explain more to her.

After the waiter retired, the doubts in his heart were getting bigger and bigger, why did the young master seem to be different from before?

Xie Jinyu got on the carriage back to Xie's house overnight, dressed in the stars and the moon, and arrived at Jiangning City just as the city gate opened on the second day.

One of the six southwestern counties under Jiangning City is the fiefdom of King An.King An is the ninth son of the current emperor. He made a big mistake in his early years and angered Longyan, so he was dispatched to the southwest to become a wealthy prince early on.

The southwest is full of miasma, mosquitoes, mountains and roads, and the people here rarely live long, so the population is sparse and turbulent. It is a remote and barren place in the eyes of many people in the Central Plains.

Jiangning City is the only city in the six southwestern counties that is close to the sea. There are plains for farming in the interior, and fishing in the sea for a living outside. Because of these two points, it is considered rich.

Xie Jinyu lifted the curtain of the car, looking at the three big characters of "Jiangning City" shining brightly in the morning sun, feeling overwhelmed.

A group of people passed the inspection, and just entered the city, the noise gradually rose.

"Buns, fresh buns, hot and fragrant meat buns!"

"Gourds, candied haws, authentic hawthorn candied haws, sweet and sour, appetizing with meals!"

"Osmanthus cake, mung bean cake, red date cake, the century-old shop is all right!"

The lively market made Xie Jinyu's excitement slowly calm down, and there was a trace of fireworks in his eyes.

"Shi Mo, go buy some almond cakes and eat them at home later!" Xie Jinyu told Shi Mo who was under the car.

Shi Mo smiled happily, his eyes narrowed, "Okay, I'll go right away!" Almond crisps, the young master's favorite almond crisps, he also likes almond crisps the most!

Xie Jinyu chuckled, stared at Shi Mo leaving before preparing to put down the car curtain.

"Happy news, good news, the prince will be the first in high school in the Ping An Mansion Examination!"

An army of Han held up the red seal, rode their horses and whips, and galloped towards Prince An's Mansion.Wherever they passed, a cloud of smoke and dust was left behind, and when the people disappeared, the originally noisy market was quiet in vain, and then a huge heated discussion erupted.

"Master Shi Zi won? Really won!" The aunt who sold the buns yelled, and asked the uncle next to him in disbelief.

The uncle nodded, and a sincere smile appeared on his honest face, "It should be true, the military master has announced the good news! Ouch, the son of the world is really amazing, he is all-rounder in civil and military affairs!"

"I heard that Shizi will help the local bandits wherever he goes, is it true?" The old man who was eating noodles raised his head and asked.

"Why isn't it true? There used to be a nest of bandits gathered on the mountain behind my house. If it wasn't for the son of the prince who led people to suppress the bandits, I would still be cooking in the bandits den. How could I escape from selling buns with my old man?" !” said the aunt hastily.

"That's right, the eldest son is really my family's benefactor!"

"Guanshi Qian, what's the matter with the imperial eunuch?" Xie Jinyu looked at Guanshi Qian curiously. He hadn't heard of this happening in his previous life. Could it be that he was far away in the country so he didn't know?

Guanshi Qian enthusiastically said, "This has been a good story for a long time! My son went to participate in this year's imperial examination incognito, and he was actually the top of the high school every time. If it wasn't for the county examiner who thought the handwriting was familiar and checked it in private, he would have been born. Just let Shizi get away with it!

This is not a big deal. After passing the exam, the son will take people to suppress the bandits. You also know that there are many bandits in our southwest area. These few times, many bandits dare not come out to do evil. The looted money and the people have been released!

Young master, why do you think there is such a big gap between people? The son of the world is not only noble, but also has both civil and military skills, which is really admirable!If that kid in my family is half as good as Shi Ziye, oh no, three points of ability, I would wake up laughing from my dreams. "

After hearing this, Xie Jinyu felt extremely complicated, and looked towards the direction of Prince An's Mansion and sighed quietly: If he remembered correctly, in his previous life, Prince An's son encountered a landslide while suppressing bandits in his previous life, and was buried in the ground forever.

Who would have thought that the young man who was still in high spirits a few months ago would completely turn into a lifeless corpse because of an accident?

Xie Jinyu didn't dare to think any more, and quickly withdrew her gaze.How about Prince An's son, he is not the son of a small businessman who can intervene.If he leaned up for no reason, he might be considered as having ulterior motives.

The carriage stopped at the gate of Xie's house.

Xie Jinyu got out of the carriage, looked at the plaque with "Xie's" written on it, and the rather impressive gate, sighed softly, and walked into the mansion.

Walking through the corridor, Xie Jinyu didn't even dare to eat, and hurried to meet the elders in the family.

The patriarchal system of the Daxi Dynasty was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, especially in the southwest region. Because of the sparse population and the lack of prosperity, clansmen with the same surname often unite and work together.

Therefore, clan power should not be underestimated.

In addition to the nod of Xie's father, the approval of the elders in the family is also very important.

Xie Jinyu had to persuade the elders in the family to support him in Xie's business before Xie's father returned home, so that he could do business with peace of mind.

Xie Jinyu went to meet the most respected elder of the Xie family. He was not only Xie's father's uncle, but also the only master of the Xie family.As long as he can open his mouth to agree with Xie Jinyu, the other uncles and uncles of the Xie family will not have much opinion.

"Third Grandma, is Third Grandpa awake?" Xie Jinyu asked softly to a white-haired old lady.

The third grandma had just finished breakfast when she ran into Xie Jinyu and quickly took his hand, her eyes full of distress, "I woke up, I woke up a long time ago, and I am playing Wu Qinxi in the yard! When you are old, you feel less, and he doesn't give yourself Looking for something to do, I always have to be idle and sick. Let me see you, ouch, you are really thin, brother Yu looks so thin! I said that living in the countryside is not as comfortable as home, but you are Don't listen, look at this little face is sharp."

"No way, third grandma, you never told me that I was fat!" Xie Jinyu chuckled, holding third grandma's arm affectionately, still acting like a baby to her as a child.

"It's better to be fatter, fatter is a blessing!" The third grandma was so coaxed by him, her face was wrinkled, and she was very satisfied with what Xie Jinyu saw.

"Aren't you going to find your third grandpa? Go quickly, or someone will come to bother him later." The third grandma pointed in one direction, thinking of the recent bad things, her eyes showed a trace of dissatisfaction.

Sure enough, she came from a small family, and the daughter she raised didn't know how to advance or retreat at all!

Xie Jinyu was startled, and asked calmly, "But Third Grandpa has an appointment with someone? Will I miss Third Grandpa's business if I go now?"

"Where, the old man wants you to find him now, so he has an excuse to shirk it!" The third grandma curled her lips. She was getting older, and she didn't want to accept the slightest grievance, so she began to confide to Xie Jinyu, "You That step-sister really has no sense! Some time ago, I didn’t know where Lao Xie had a picture of "Spring Water Falls Red" in his hand, and he rushed to ask Lao Xie to ask for it. After Lao Xie refused, he actually persuaded the old lady to come. Advice, come here every few days!"

"But Mr. Sanliu's "Spring Water Falling into Red Picture"? It is said that after Mr. Sanliu passed away, one of his handed down paintings can now be sold for a high price of a thousand taels of silver." Xie Jinyu was a little speechless. He used to think that his step-sister was greedy for money, but he didn't expect it She is so stupid and greedy.

Do you have to give something worth a thousand dollars when you ask for it?This face is too big!

The third grandma nodded, "That's it. Lao Xie has been crazy about painting all his life. He got that painting after a lot of hard work and a lot of favors. How could he be willing to give it away, so he just hides from her during this time It's like hiding from the plague god."

Xie Jinyu nodded, expressing her understanding.

"Go quickly, it's in the front yard!" Third Grandma urged.

Xie Jinyu thanked her softly, and hurried to the front yard.

In the yard, the third uncle of the Xie family was gesturing at the Wuqinxi. Although his beard and hair were all white, his complexion was rosy and he seemed to be in high spirits.

Xie Jinyu waited for him to finish playing Wu Qinxi before going forward to salute, "Jinyu met the third grandpa."

"It's Jinyu!" The third uncle wiped the sweat off his face and motioned for him to follow him into the house.

"What's the matter, what did you come to see me for?" Third Uncle took a sip of tea and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Could it be that this kid also came to ask me to paint?

"Third Grandpa, Jinyu won't take people's love!" Xie Jinyu smiled lightly, seeing through what Third Uncle was thinking at a glance.

Although there was a suspicion of bullying in the words, everyone in Xie's mansion knew that he and his stepmother were not dealing with each other, so they didn't need to care about it.

"Oh~ Then why did you come to see me?" The third uncle was surprised, looking at the person standing in front of him, why did he always feel that Brother Yu was a little different.

"Third Grandpa, Zi Yi was detained in the Ping An Mansion!" Xie Jinyu quietly spoke to the third uncle.

"What?!" The third uncle suddenly stood up, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, and he stared at Xie Jinyu with a serious face, "Where did you get the news from?"

"Butler Wu told me." Xie Jinyu didn't hide anything, and told me the news he knew, "Xie Ziyi signed a business of [-] pieces of kiln porcelain with Zhang's family in Ping'an Mansion, but he was negligent in managing it. , causing more than half of the kiln porcelain to be destroyed overnight, the Zhang family was furious, and was so angry that they directly detained him in the Ping'an Mansion."

The third uncle was suspicious and puzzled, "If the porcelain is damaged, we just need to make up for it. It's really not possible. Our Xie family is willing to bear the loss of failing to pay the porcelain in time. Why does the Zhang family have any reason to detain Ziyi?"

Sure enough, people are old and mature, and they can find something strange when they hear it.

Xie Jinyu thought to herself, if Xie Ziyi learned three points of his third uncle's shrewdness, he wouldn't leak all the Xie family's porcelain making recipes.

"That's exactly the reason! The Zhang family said that he was just doing things for others. The one who really wanted porcelain was a wealthy businessman from Jiangnan. The wealthy merchants in Jiangnan urgently needed a batch of porcelain, so they signed an agreement with Zhang's family. If they can make it within ten days If you sell [-] pieces of kiln porcelain, you will buy them at three times the price; if you can’t, you will have to pay ten times the liquidated damages. Xie Ziyi was greedy for the three times the high price, and signed an agreement with the Zhang family and the wealthy Jiangnan merchants without saying a word , now that they can't take out the porcelain on time, the Zhang family simply locked Xie Ziyi somewhere!"

Xie Jinyu finished speaking in one breath, and then dropped another bomb under the stern expression of the third uncle, "Xie Ziyi was afraid that he would not be able to pay the liquidated damages, so he listened to the Zhang family's trick and told our family's ancestral porcelain-making recipe, overnight Open six porcelain workshops in order to successfully complete the order of [-] pieces!"

After listening to the third uncle, he fell back and sighed, "I'm confused! We have porcelain making skills, so why worry about not being able to pay liquidated damages and finish these three hundred pieces of porcelain!"

The third uncle burst into tears, and there was a trace of pleading in his cloudy eyes, "Brother Yu, are you lying to me? Our Xie family's porcelain making recipe..." He still had a glimmer of hope, if he was really like Xie Jinyu In other words, the Xie family is really over!

Xie Jinyu couldn't bear it, but still nodded to break his last illusion.

"This... is a crime, it's simply a crime!" The third uncle uttered a few slang words and cursed, "Xie Ziyi is such a fool, a kid who usually looks so smart, how can he become a treasure when he goes out?" Oh, to die, to die!"

Xie Jinyu lowered her head and didn't speak at this time, letting her third uncle abuse Xie Ziyi in various ways in the air.He knew that just because Xie Ziyi was a man, Xie Ziyi had too many advantages over him. If the third uncle's expectations of Xie Ziyi could not be completely dispelled, the Xie family would never let a brother be the master of the house.

Without Xie Ziyi, Xie Ziyan and Xie Ziyu, Xie Jinyu would not be considered anyway, so this opportunity can only be won by himself!

"Brother Yu, is your father back?" The third uncle grabbed Xie Jinyu's hand with an eager look on his face.

The only one who can save Xie's family is Father Xie.

Xie Jinyu shook his head, and said directly, "Third Grandpa, even if my father comes back, I'm afraid the situation will not be changed. Did the Zhang family really trick Xie Ziyi into revealing the prescription for breach of contract damages? You and I both know it well. It's just an excuse! Our Xie family has developed too fast these years, and it has already hindered some people's eyes. This time Xie Ziyi's accident happened, there must be some people involved.

They got the porcelain-making recipe handed down by the Xie family's ancestors, so they could steal the craftsmanship of the kiln porcelain, and then follow the porcelain making and selling porcelain.Our Xie family has always followed the line of being close to the people, and the main customers of kiln porcelain are ordinary people. In the future, there will be more workshops manufacturing kiln porcelain, and the price will definitely drop! "

Xie Jinyu paused, staring at third uncle's eyes, and hit the nail on the head, "If things go on like this, the Xie family will be in danger!"

Third Uncle's body stiffened, he shook his lips, and finally said nothing.

How could he not know?He just understood how powerful it was, that's why he was so frightened!As long as there is a way, he will not be left alone, expecting others to show kindness and let Xie's family go.

Xie Jinyu took a step forward and gave Third Uncle a critical blow again, "Third Grandpa, I'm afraid you don't know about one more thing. After thinking about it, I think it's better to tell you sooner, otherwise if something happened to Dong Chuang, Xie's family might be accused by thousands of people." , everyone cursed!"

what--

The third uncle almost didn't come up, his eyes were red, he stared at Xie Jinyu and said, "What else are you hiding from me?"

Xie Jinyu murmured, her voice was like a mosquito, wondering, "I... I once saw Ziyi's younger brother and second younger sister being intimate and embracing each other with their own eyes."

Bang!

The teacup in the inner room fell to the ground, so startled that Xie Jinyu and the third uncle hurried in to check.

But found that Xie Qingyin's complexion was pale in the room, holding a missing teacup, standing in the same place in a daze, at a loss.

Xie Qingyin was in a daze, and facing the third uncle and Xie Jinyu who suddenly appeared, she showed a pale smile that was uglier than crying.
