A Chinese war stock shocked the whole of Asia and is bound to shock the whole world. For ordinary people, they don't understand what this high-end thing has to do with them. They only know that with their meager income, they may not be able to afford one share even if they save for three months.
Sometimes listening to people around me open and close their mouths to talk about the Jiangnan stock market, with millions of silver taels going in and out every day, is like listening to a book from heaven.
The common people didn't understand, but the businessmen were well-connected. Ever since the news of the successful listing of Chinese war stocks spread across the country through the developed telegraph network, all the businessmen in the Qing Dynasty smelled the smell of blood.
All businessmen who feel that they have some strength are beginning to prepare to go to Suzhou with a lot of money to see the experience. Let’s not talk about how much they can buy. As a businessman, if you don’t understand the operation mode and principles of this new type of thing, then it will definitely be a problem. Very embarrassing thing.
The merchants of the Qing Dynasty were basically concentrated in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Shanxi, and Gyeonggi. The name of Shanxi merchants should not be underestimated. Since the issuance of stocks in Suzhou, Shanxi merchants have gone crazy and sent out the best members of the family one by one.
4000
He went to Jiangnan for inspection with a lot of money.
The eight Shanxi merchant families, the Qiao family, the Cao family, the Chang family, the Hou family, the Qu family, the Kang family, and the Kong family all sent out a large number of inspection groups of their children and set off for the south of the Yangtze River.
But no one dared to invite the Fan family, the head of the eight families, even though Mr. Fan Qian had been in the old house in the past few months, and the other seven families only sent various invitations and did not dare to come and disturb him.
The reason is very simple. The body of the head of the Fan Ru family is getting worse day by day. At this moment, he has become exhausted. Everyone knows that death will only take ten days. At this time, none of the Fan family members dare to leave.
The concierges in the Fan family mansion were muttering something in a low voice. The black door was closed tightly, leaving only a small crack in the side door.
"Hey, the sixth young master of Qu's family just came here. He gave him a root of old wild ginseng and a greeting message. Originally, our seventh young master wanted to go to Jiangnan, but everything ended up in vain."
"Seventh Young Master still wants to go to Jiangnan? Hey, it's up to him. Grandpa is seriously ill in bed and he's still touching my concubine's door. It's no one's turn for him!"
"Shh, keep your voice down, that sour-faced old enemy is here, be careful of him scolding you, stand up straight now!"
The porters put away their discussions and quickly sat down on the bench. They looked up and saw Master Qiu approaching. A group of people smiled and stood up to say hello. "Good luck to Master Qiu. Master Qiu is here so early on an errand? It's really hard work."
A tall man with a dark face smiled and just nodded, "Is the second master in the house? I have something to report."
"Hey, Master Qiu, please do as you please, as you wish." A group of people sent Master Qiu into the side door like a star over the moon. When they could no longer see his back, the concierges spat on the ground.
"What the hell am I talking about! Aren't you just using your sister to serve the second young lady? Then he became the second master's confidant. Without his sister's relationship, who would know him! He is a black-faced dog digging in the soil."
Mr. Qiu is not an outsider, he is the brother of A Chou, the eldest girl around Huniu. A Chou's real name is Qiu. Because she is ordinary and not good-looking, Huniu, who likes to joke, calls her A Chou. That word is Chou. The surname is homophonic to Qiu.
Huniu is the second wife who is on the same side as Fuhui. She is an equal wife! And Xiao Letian is the Chinese Prime Minister and the imperial master of Tongzhi. His army is victorious in every battle. No one in Asia is afraid of him.
A Chou is Huniu's most personal eldest girl. This status is so high that it is terrifying. Even the elder brother of A Chou's family has been promoted to heaven and has become the confidant of old shopkeeper Fan Qian. Regardless of his ability, he is always loyal. .
Mr. Qiu is an upright person who doesn't know how to flatter people, let alone joke. Even though he is rich, he doesn't engage in those tricks of spending money to gain connections. Therefore, his popularity has never been very good. In the Fan family mansion, the servants of the uncle's branch all scold him. He is a black-faced dog.
But Mr. Qiu doesn't care either. He has been to the sea and seen Nanyang, Ryukyu, Japan, North Korea and other countries and other big events. He no longer cares about what the locals in his hometown say. How can a frog in a well understand the story of a swan? Chi.
Mr. Qiu walked through courtyard after courtyard. The courtyard of the Shanxi merchant family was as luxurious as the gardens in the south of the Yangtze River. There were no less than fifty or sixty people waiting on them all the way.
No one dared to joke with Mr. Qiu. The servants gave way to Daqian and the maids gave way. No one dared to stop the celebrity next to the second master even entering the inner house. Mr. Qiu went straight to the back house to rest with the eldest master Fan Ru. The main house.
When Mr. Qiu walked to the door and looked inside, he discovered that in the main room of the east wing of the main hall, his father Fan Lian was sitting beside Fan Ru's bed. Two old brothers were chatting. The early morning sunshine was shining in the room, and there was dust in the air. is dancing.
Mr. Qiu didn't dare to disturb him, so he could only stand respectfully at the door and wait. Time passed by little by little.
"Hey, I'm really old. Guess who I dreamed about last night?" Fan Ru, who was leaning on the pillow, had a lifeless look on his face and looked at his brother who was also aging quietly.
"Haha, I'm not the roundworm in the eldest brother's belly. I can guess it. Come on, come on, eat an orange. This is shipped by the Ryukyu Clippers. I asked them to rush eight hundred miles to rush it."
Looking at the golden orange petals, Fan Ru sighed, "I can't imagine eating this kind of fruit in this solar term before! My dear brother, who would have thought that you would be able to reach this point today? It's not easy after all these years." It’s hard on you!”
Even when a person is about to die, his words are kind. Fan Ru finally said a human word. This human word made Fan Lian, who had suffered all his life, shed tears.
There is any deep hatred between brothers. No matter how big the rift is, it will be forgotten after time fades away. On the contrary, the former brotherhood is engraved in the heart like a tattoo and cannot be forgotten.
Fan Qian ate the orange, tears welling up in his eyes, "Brother! I dreamed about our grandpa. I dreamed that in that thatched house, grandpa was sitting on the chair drinking old wine. There was only a salted duck egg to drink. We were both greedy. Drooling”
Fan Ru also cried, "Yes! My family was poor at that time, and every bite of delicious food had to be given to my grandfather first. When the family had some spare money, they would give me two cents of wine. If there was no appetizer, they would use a salted egg."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Grandad just dips the tip of a chopstick into a little bit of yellow, sips it into his mouth, and tastes the taste, and he can drink a large glass of wine."
"Hahaha" Fan Ru also laughed, "Yes, yes, it's just a chopstick. Grandpa often carries his father on his back, picks up a piece of salted egg yolk with chopsticks, and then stuffs it into our mouths. The taste is so delicious!"
"Look what big brother said, it's made me greedy. I'll ask the kitchen to cut some salted eggs later and we can eat it with the porridge!"
Fan Ru shook his head, "No, let's eat it with wine. I'll just try a little bit, okay?"
Fan Jian wiped his tears. What else could he say? A dying person can have some wishes. Who dares not to listen? "Okay! I'll let them prepare it, but brother, you can only taste a little bit, and you can't drink too much." !”
"Hey, I listen to you. I listen to you. From now on, everyone will listen to you."
A lifetime of disputes and conflicts were replaced at this moment by the love of brotherhood and brotherhood. Nothing could change what was flowing in the blood.
