Liu Mingzhi took a look at the decoration in the hall and nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, you have restrained yourself. You also know that the decoration with gold and silver is vulgar!"
Zhu Runsan laughed a few times: "Brother, don't mention these things. Aren't you afraid of being poor at that time? If you don't get some gold and silver, it always feels like a dream!"
"Sister-in-law Zhou Yuhe meets eldest brother and uncle!"
"No gifts, no gifts, no need to be so outspoken!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at Zhou Yuhe, who had become more plump and ladylike after giving birth, and nodded. Zhu Run was very lucky and married a good girl.
"Yu He, let me see Yuan Zhang! My son has been busy since his son was born, and he hasn't seen what his nephew looks like!"
Zhou Yuhe took the thin silk package from the maid's hand and walked to Liu Mingzhi holding a one-year-old child with thick eyebrows and light eyes.
"Brother, this is the useless child of my little sister and her husband, Yuan Zhang!"
Zhu Run excitedly pointed at the baby in her mother's arms: "Brother, please see if my brother's son looks very similar to me. How about we make a baby kiss? My brother's son will never treat Yiyi and the others badly!"
"Go away, my young master's daughter is only two years old, what you think is beautiful!"
"Don't I want to get closer to you, eldest brother?"
"Jiang He, bring me the gift box!"
"yes, Sir!"
Liu Mingzhi took out a jade pendant from the gift box and put it in the package: "This is a gift from uncle! Do you like it?"
The baby giggled with wide eyes.
Young Master Liu glanced at Zhu Run: "I have only read a few books and I am quite good at picking names. Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang, what a good name!"
"Of course! It took a lot of thought to name my son. My little brother's head almost exploded just to pick such a name. Do you think they are all just like you? After reading so many books, I don't have to take the imperial examination. Reading books makes me happy. very?"
Suddenly Mr. Liu looked at Zhu Run complicatedly.
"Zhu... Zhu... Zhu... Yuan Yuanzhang?"
Zhu Run looked at Young Master Liu's surprised look and was a little confused: "Yes, my younger brother's surname is Zhu, shouldn't he be called Zhu Yuanzhang? Big brother! Is there anything bad about your nephew's name?"
"No, no, it's very good. Zhu Yuanzhang, it's very good. I just didn't expect you to be so good at naming!"
"That's good, that's good. Do you think this name is taboo? It scared me so much that it made my heart skip a beat. It's okay!"
"Yu He, take Yuan Zhang down first and ask the kitchen to prepare some good dishes. My eldest brother and I will have a good drink. We have to find the place at the eldest brother's wedding banquet!"
Zhou Yuhe nodded and still looked at Young Master Liu with some hesitation: "Brother, is there really nothing wrong with the name of the child Yuan Zhang?"
"Brother and sister, don't worry, there is really nothing wrong!"
"That's good. Little sister will go and make arrangements first. Brother and uncle, please sit down for a while!"
"Good work!"
After Zhou Yuhe left, Zhu Run took the tea cup and poured a cup of tea for Liu Mingzhi'an Gou'er: "Brother, if you have nothing to do, come to the Three Treasures Hall. Do you have anything else to do when you come to my little brother? Just ask, I will do my best! "
Liu Mingzhi took a sip of tea and said without courtesy: "Brother, my eldest brother has encountered something recently that requires a lot of money. You also know that your eldest brother has established his own business. It is a bit inconvenient to ask your uncle for help, so I just want to help you. !”
Zhu Run nodded calmly and stood up immediately: "Brother, please wait a moment, I will come as soon as I can!"
After half a stick of incense, Zhu Run walked out with a two-foot sandalwood box in his arms, followed by dozens of burly men who laboriously walked in one after another carrying red lacquered wooden boxes.
Zhu Run put the sandalwood box on the table and nodded to the remaining dozen burly men: "You guys, please step back and close the door!"
"Yes, little one, please resign!"
After the door was closed, Zhu Run stood up and opened the red paint boxes left by the strong men one by one, revealing neatly stacked gold bars and gold ingots.
Blooming with a golden luster, everything is full of gold.
Zhu Run returned to the table, sat down, and opened the sandalwood box, revealing stacks of banknotes and various house deeds, including those for shops and houses.
"Brother, 300,000 taels of gold can be exchanged for 3 million taels of silver. All the silver notes in this box add up to a total of 15 million taels. Any Dalong bank account can be exchanged for cash. , plus some house deeds totaling two million taels of silver, and fifteen million taels of silver notes, there are four million taels of silver. Brother, the dividend brother of your coal business has not sent it to you yet, and His Majesty’s share has been sent to you by His Highness the Crown Prince. , I need three million taels of silver from the Northern Xinjiang Mutual Market for turnover, and you can take all the rest, big brother!"
Liu Mingzhi stood up and walked around the box containing gold, grabbed a gold ingot in his hand, weighed it, walked to his seat and sat down.
"Zhutou, don't you be afraid that your elder brother won't pay you back? This is not a small amount of money. It adds up to nearly ten million taels of silver. If I don't pay it back, you won't have anywhere to cry!"
Zhu Run waved his hand indifferently: "Brother, without your help, there would be no brother today. Before I got married, you can take my life if you want. I won't even frown. It can't be done now. I have it." Yuhe and Yuanzhang are reluctant to give up their lives to you. Apart from these money, the younger brother can only help you so much! Righteousness is more important than death. If the elder brother does not need the younger brother to risk his life, then the younger brother will put more emphasis on justice than family wealth! "
Liu Mingzhi was extremely moved and felt a little hot.
"Good brother, I'm not wrong about you. I won't be able to use this gold. Apart from my 4 million taels of dividends, you can give me another 6 million taels of silver. I'll pay you back as soon as I get it!" "
"Brother, if you say this again, these little brothers will fall out! In the past, the little brother wanted to sleep on the money, but now he realizes that with more money, there will be more troubles. When the big brother came, he also discovered it. Now the little brother is tired of socializing, but he still I have to go socialize!”
Zhu Run's face looked a little ugly, obviously thinking of something bad.
Liu Mingzhi frowned and looked at Zhu Run's face: "What's going on? What happened?"
"Brother, you also know that we are nominally cooperating with His Highness the Crown Prince in business. Naturally, many princes and the descendants of princes and ministers are jealous, including the descendants of some elderly people in the royal clan who want to get involved in the Northern Xinjiang business. , I haven’t had a good rest in the past few months!”
"Don't these princes and ministers not understand who the real people behind the business are? How dare they act like this?"
"Brother, can't you see through it yet? They know it better than anyone else!"
Liu Mingzhi thought about it for a moment and realized that these people were just relying on the fact that the emperor could not come forward to prove the fact that he was competing for benefits with the people, and deliberately let his children and grandchildren come out to entangle Zhu Run, the weakest master.
Liu Mingzhi sneered and shook his head: "Pig head!"
"Brother, tell me!"
"Don't pay attention to them. If they want to grab food from the tiger's mouth, I'm afraid they won't have the teeth and will collapse. I will handle the money they want to make. It depends on whether they can seize the opportunity!"
"What do you mean, brother?"
"If someone asks you to come to discuss business matters again, ask them to go to Wanhuhou's house and hand them a greeting card!"
"Okay, now that the elder brother is here to help, the younger one will feel relieved and can finally have a peaceful sleep!"
"Master Marquis, Master Liu Marquis's boy came to pay his respects and said that he has important matters to see Master Liu!"
"Please!"
"yes!"
"Master, Master!"
Liu Mingzhi stood up and looked at Liu Song who trotted in.
Liu Song ran in anxiously and saw boxes of gold in the hall. His eyes lit up and he immediately chose to turn a blind eye and ran towards Young Master Liu and whispered in his ear.
A trace of doubt flashed in Liu Mingzhi's eyes: "I know! You go back first!"
"yes!"
"Pig head!"
"Brother, is there something wrong?"
"Someone is coming from the palace. His Majesty has summoned me. You just need to send someone to deliver the banknote to my house and hand it over to your sister-in-law Qi Yun. Please apologize to my siblings for me and come back for a drink another day!"
"Okay, brother, walk slowly!"
"Jiang He goes back home to change clothes!"
"yes!"
"You two young masters, wait a moment!"
Before Liu Mingzhi got on the carriage, he was stopped by a middle-aged man in a green shirt with a smile and a wretched face.
"What's up?"
"You two young masters, do you want a book?"
"Sorry, I have books at home. Goodbye!"
"Forbidden books, the kind with paintings!"
Young Master Liu, who was about to board the carriage, froze, his eyes lit up, and he turned around to stare at the wretched middle-aged man.
"This sounds kind. Brother, do you have anything besides books?"
