After Zheng Yiqian saw off shopkeeper Xu and came back from the door in despair, his soul seemed to have not come back. He sat back in his seat as the guest of honor one by one. He picked up the wine glass and did not respect Zheng Zuliang or Liang Chuan. He raised his neck. Drink it all in one gulp.
Tusu wine was added with traditional Chinese medicines such as rhubarb, atractylodes, cinnamon twigs, saposhnikovia, pepper, aconite, and aconite. The taste was more like medicine than wine. The wine had a slight bitterness from traditional Chinese medicine, which suited his current mood. He called the old housekeeper Lao Cai and said, "Ming, take a few people to Shopkeeper Xu's Ming Yi Shop and pack up the items inside. The shop is now vacant. Ming Yi Shop has not seen much improvement in the past few years. Let's close it. Let's see who wants it." Let’s do some business and rent out the shop.”
Lao Cai bent down and listened to Zheng Yiqian's instructions. After listening to his instructions, he bent down deeper and responded in a low voice: "Master, that shop has been selling old clothes with papered ceilings for decades. I'm afraid that others will use them to make something else." business, I’m afraid..."
Zheng Yiqian also had a strong temper and said anxiously: "What are you afraid of? Are you afraid of bad luck? It will be empty if no one rents it. It is the property of the Zheng family. We are not afraid of raising mice if it is empty."
Liang Chuan sat next to him and listened to everything he said. At this juncture, he interjected without hesitation and said: "Mr. Zheng, do you think you can give me that store? It doesn't matter if you want to sell it or rent it. I'll take it over!"
Liang Chuan was an unattractive person, so he was invited to his home on the first day of the new year because this kid committed a crime and was sent to Xinghua Prison. In prison, he also rescued Mr. Zheng's nephew. Today, there is a wine table. He has a place. Now a word was like thunder in the plains, and everyone's eyes were turned on Liang Chuan.
Lao Cai glanced at his master, who had no expression on his face and looked at his empty wine glass. According to his speculation about his master, now is the time when he, the butler, is needed to step forward, so Lao Cai asked Liang Chuan: "Our Zheng family's shop can be regarded as a century-old shop. Although the shop is old and the products sold are off-the-beaten-path, the building is strong and the beams are strong. But you have to think carefully. White paper is red. Once the deed is signed, there will be no regrets."
Liang Chuan and Zheng Zu looked at each other and smiled, and said: "Just now, Master Zheng told me that I also know that your shop originally sells shroud paper figurines and specializes in making mourning objects. I am afraid that others will think these things are not good for me. I Liang Chuan sat upright, stood tall and upright, and was not afraid of these unfavorable remarks. Besides, your Zheng family has been running this Mingyi store for decades. It is a great deed of good deeds and good deeds. If there is any unlucky business, I will take over the store. If you take over, I will receive dozens of blessings from your good deeds, and I earned them."
"Okay!" Even Zheng Zuliang couldn't help but clapped his hands and cheered. Liang Chuan's words were full of courage, "I should have known that Brother Liang Chuan is not a creature in the pool. His vision, vision and courage are all outstanding people. Others are afraid that If you can't avoid it, you treat it as nothing and face the difficulties! I admire you, Zheng, but I, Zheng, would like to ask one more question, I wonder what brother Liang Chuan wants to do for a living by renting a storefront? "
Liang Chuan talked for a long time, then asked the Zheng family's maid to add new wine to him, and then picked up the vegetables and put them in his mouth. The three of them now also know that this boy is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He talks about carriages and tricks, and he can fool the dead from the graveyard. The three of them looked at Liang Chuan eagerly, wanting to see what kind of business he wanted to do so that they could open their eyes again!
Half of the Tusu wine has not yet been lifted, and peach symbols are written on grass in front of the lamp. Liang Chuan cannot drink the taste of Tusu wine. One sip will make his brows furrow for a long time. But this dish is quite good, and I drank wine, so I can't eat less food. Zheng Zuliang and Zheng Yiqian watched Liang Chuan eat vegetables. Shitou was not interested in the food. He also wanted to know what kind of business Liang Chuan rented this shop. Liang Chuan looked at everyone looking at him and said, "What are you looking at me for? Eating vegetables! I haven't decided what business to do yet, but with this store, I can find a place to do anything." It’s a place where you can take your time and don’t rush!”
Liang Chuan's words were too polite, and to the ears of the three of them, it was none of your business what business I did, so stop asking. Zheng Zuliang was not a man of trivial matters. He said kindly to Liang Chuan: "Brother Liang Chuan, this is a street in Fengshan. My uncle's house contains cloth shops, clothing shops, iron shops, rice shops, teahouses, pawn shops, gold and silver jewelry." You have done all the profitable trades. You have to think clearly about what kind of business you want to do, so as not to have two tigers fighting against each other with your thin arms..."
Zheng Yiqian spread out his hands, as if you are a kid who can bear it, just come. Liang Chuan held a piece of shrimp in his mouth and said with a smile: "This is natural. I can dare to fight Master Zheng with my little arms, but I wouldn't dare if I dared to do it. Besides, this is a business that is done by others. I can do it myself." It’s no fun and you can’t make any money.”
"Uncle, your shop is empty as well. It seems that my brother Liang Chuan has some ideas in mind. You might as well let him try it. I will pay the rent!"
"Humph, shall I take your money?" Zheng Yiqian rolled his eyes at his brother-in-law. Why didn't this brother-in-law hear you say about giving money to his brother-in-law when he was not rich? Now I have made a name for myself, but I'm pretty good at putting on a show.
"Of course I didn't give money to my uncle. You see what I said. That time Brother Zhang saved Shitou in Xinghua. I wanted to give Brother Liang Chuan some gifts as a thank you, but this brother refused to accept them. I just want everyone to know today. I'm here too, I'll help Brother Liang Chuan step up first, as a way of repaying Brother Liang Chuan's kindness."
"I appreciate your kindness, Mr. Officer. The exchange of money will change our friendship. We don't talk about money, it will hurt our feelings! It's a busy New Year, so we won't talk about these things now."
Zheng Ruoying watched her family gather together today. Her cousin was getting more and more beautiful. After her cousin Shitou had some accidents, he was no longer as cool as before. His career was quietly coming in, and all of this seemed to be unexpected. Got entangled with Liang Chuan, an outsider. During the first month of the year, there was laughter and laughter everywhere. After a few glasses of wine, a hazy blush appeared on her pretty face, which made people look particularly charming.
Holding a glass of wine in her slender white jade hands, she went to the back hall to pay homage to the two elders. Zheng Ruoying usually listens to his uncle the most, not for any other reason, just because this uncle is academically successful, is a scholar, has a distinguished status and has great fame. Moreover, he is still successful in his career. After working hard for several years, he has earned a family fortune that is bigger than that of the Zheng family. Now the eldest fathers in the county are polite to his uncle when they meet him. There are several people in Xinghua who have this kind of reputation.
Zheng Zuliang took the wine from his niece and looked at his niece with special affection. Who said that a woman's lack of talent is a virtue? A woman without talent is even more immoral. What's wrong with being knowledgeable and courteous? My daughter is unruly and weird. She doesn't know a single Chinese character. She taught me propriety and etiquette with great care. How is it like my precious daughter who was taught by my uncle? " Ruoying, although my uncle doesn’t want to talk too much about your marriage, as long as you have a crush on a young man from a certain family, just tell your uncle, even if you are the grandson of the emperor, your uncle will dare to tell you about it!"
Listening to his brother-in-law's words, Zheng Yiqian felt as if he had eaten candy, sweet and comfortable. If people who come from a peasant family forget their roots and refuse to support each other, they are close to failure, and his brother-in-law understands this truth best.
Zheng Ruoying looked delicate. Although her face was flushed, her eyes were clear and bright. She looked at Zheng Zuliang firmly and said: "Uncle, I know you are all doing this for my own good. You are afraid that I will become an old girl and no one will want me in the future. But uncle Don't worry, I don't dare to be careless about my life-long affairs. I have made an agreement with my father. If I don't earn 10,000 yuan in two years, my marriage will be decided by my father. It all depends on my father. .”
"Ten thousand guan? Cousin, don't talk about making 10,000 guan. Even if you ask me to count, I'm afraid I won't be able to count all the 10,000 guan!" Shitou's mind is as straight as the course of the Nanxi River. The water flow will not turn in the end. of.
Zheng Zuliang knows the way to make money very well. When he first started his business, he still vividly remembers how he made his first pot of gold. It was only through ups and downs that he made his way out. When his nephew spoke That’s ten thousand guan. Looking at his elder brother-in-law again, he had a worried look on his face, and it didn't seem like he was joking. He must have been heartbroken to look like this.
Zheng Zuliang said to Zheng Ruoying earnestly: "Ruoying, running a business is extremely difficult, and it is even more difficult for your daughter's family. It's not that my uncle is attacking you or not believing you. My uncle will support you no matter what you do. Can you You can’t tell your uncle how you plan to earn these ten thousand yuan!”
Zheng Yiqian couldn't sit still anymore. With a "pop" sound, he slapped his thigh hard and said in frustration: "I am a silly girl who doesn't know how to be beaten by this brat..." Zheng Yiqian's hands were shaking, and he pointed at Liang Chuan and continued: "I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup was poured into me. I hired about a dozen tenant farmers on the more than 100 acres of dry land on the other side of the bank. They worked around it before dawn every day. They planted more than 100 acres of sugar cane and even the pigs didn't eat it!"
Damn, call me a brat? Liang Chuan was very unhappy with this title. Liang Chuan stopped the chopsticks in his hand and said to Zheng Yiqian: "Master Zheng, why do you mean I'm pouring ecstasy soup to your daughter? You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say random things. It's your daughter who insists." She asked me to join her, not me."
Zheng Zuliang originally thought that his niece's whim was just for fun, but he heard the word sugar cane. A strange thought suddenly flashed through my mind, but I vaguely seemed to have grasped something, but I couldn't think of anything concrete. He inadvertently glanced at Liang Chuan who was wiping his mouth and hands. Liang Chuan's intuition told him that this matter must not be simple. .
