"Finally, there is no need to worry about the cloth number in advance. I have asked the Qi family to help and built two dyeing workshops in Yangzhou. The dyeing wizard Zhao Bo'an of the Dongsheng Zhao family will lead the work."

"Of course, the dyehouse cannot stay on Jufeng Island. The dye vats and vats are full of poison. If left there, Jufeng Island will soon become an island of death. On Jufeng Island, only dyes are prepared. The dyehouse will find another place...

…”

"The distribution lines will have to be laid out after the integration of Fengzihao is completed, and a sum of money will have to be borrowed from the collected embezzlement money."

"That's all for now, Bingshi's business, Wanxiang Tower, Shengshi Bookshop, Storyteller's Guangde Society, Sixi Group, Taiping Teahouse, Taiping Buhao..."

"Although there are people taking care of everything, the Ice Room and Wanxiang Building are directly controlled by the Qi family. We are only responsible for supervision. But we still have to integrate everything, which requires a lot of effort. I thank you.

This is why my second uncle is the boss of the Delin."

When Baoqin came back, he first saw his drunken cousin Xue Pan leaning on a chair and giggling when he entered the door. His brother Xue Pan was sitting quietly at the door of the inner room with admiration on his face, listening to the conversation inside.

She entered the door and hurriedly motioned for her to move gently and not to disturb the people inside.

Baoqin was curious, walked over and listened for a while, and heard the conversation inside.

After listening to this paragraph, her beautiful eyes widened, but her brows furrowed. She looked at Xue Biao and whispered: "Brother, brother Qiang wants to ask dad to be the shopkeeper? But dad's body and bones..."

Xue Biao smiled and said softly: "Tian Ningsi's medicine is very suitable for the disease, and my father is much better. Besides, the second brother said that my father doesn't need to run around anymore. When the time comes, I will just run more errands."

Baoqin still couldn't figure out how her brother could agree. She asked curiously: "Brother, are we not going to do our own business?"

When Xue Biao heard this, he couldn't help but smile. He shook his head and said, "I shouldn't have told my sister what happened outside. I was afraid that you would be worried, and I was also worried that my mother would find out and be upset... But it's better now. At this point,

On the contrary, we can tell the truth. After the death of my uncle, the Xue family has been getting worse year by year. It would be nice if my cousin could live up to his expectations, but... alas.

As for our family, my father was originally a concubine, and he separated the family long ago. The remaining shadow of the Xue family has not been left to us. This business is not as simple as buying and selling goods, and there will definitely be official connections behind it.

If it doesn't matter, just those little devils who want to take advantage of the card can ruin the business and cost half their lives.

When my father was strong and strong, he was still better and could always deal with things. But these years, he could only stay at home to recuperate most of the time, and our own business has been in decline... Not to mention our family, even the Feng brand in the hands of my cousin.

It’s not much better.”

Baoqin was extremely smart. After he understood, he hesitated and said, "Don't the Xue family have many old relatives?"

Xue Biao smiled bitterly when he heard this, shook his head and said: "It's the uncle's room where we have old relatives and old friends, not us. And even if we are old relatives and old friends, we need to be well-matched in order to go far. If one party becomes a poor relative or friend, this path will be difficult.

It won’t last long. But..."

After a pause, a smile appeared on Xue Biao's face, and he whispered: "Now that dad has agreed to Brother Qiang to be the boss of his Delin, the situation is different again. Although Brother Qiang is young, he is a very capable person."

An incredible person. Not to mention Beijing, only in Jiangnan, he has done so many great things not long after arriving. In Yangzhou Prefecture, he has close friendship with the Qi family, the Xu family, the Chen family, the Li family, and the Peng family.

The interests were related, and the Yanyuan Yamen Lin Yushi also valued him very much. Even if the Yanyuan Yamen was abolished six months later, Han Banshan, the governor of Liangjiang, also valued the second brother Qiang.

The official road has been paved. Not to mention, the Jia family's foundation in Jiangnan is already very deep. There is only one Zhen family, so there is no need to mention other places.

With these relationships, it is naturally easier to build the Delin Hao, and it won't be a lot of trouble for my father. Moreover, Qiang's second brother Renyi is willing to take Feng Zihao to work with our family. This is to take care of our family. With this relationship,

Distant relatives who were estranged in the past soon came back."

It sounds a bit unpleasant to say, and a bit bitter, but this is the reality.

Although Xue Biao is only fifteen this year, in the past two years, he has traveled back and forth to several places and has seen more people, both warm and cold, and the world, than most people today have seen in their entire lives.

At first I felt sad, humiliated and hopeless, but later I gradually realized that this is how the world is.

Now Jia Qiang needs the help of Xue Ming and the Xue family's Fengzihao, and at the same time, she can help them achieve something together. She is willing to share her connections and official resources with the Xue family. This is a win-win situation.

Therefore, Xue Tao was very happy.

Bao Qin didn't care much about these, as long as she knew that her family was in danger, she looked at Xue Pan who had started snoring, and said with a smile: "When I was young, what my uncle and dad were most worried about was whether my cousin could support the Feng brand. I don't want to

…”

Before she finished speaking, Xue Biao suddenly pointed to her mouth, signaling her to quiet down, and pointed inside.

Baoqin stopped talking and listened to the conversation inside, her face suddenly turned red with embarrassment.

I shouldn't have listened to it, but it involved a life-long event, so I suppressed my shame and listened...

"Second uncle, do you have any ideas about the Mei family? The eldest wife of the Mei family and most of the family members were released, and a small courtyard with a second entrance was returned to them to live in. In addition, the second room of the Mei family

The eldest son, Mei Huai, will also be released, and the Yanyuan Yamen and the Liangjiang Governor's Office will report his merits. When he is elected as an official in high school, his merits will be reported and he will be promoted."

After roughly talking about several business lines, Jia Qiang was about to leave, but she remembered the Mei family affairs and talked to Xue Ming.

When Xue Ming heard this, he felt extremely miserable.

When he got married to Mei Zhen, who had just entered the Hanlin Academy, he was of course attracted by the Mei family's promising future. However, the Xue family was far from declining at that time. Although it was not as valuable as his ancestors and was a Ziweisheren, Xue's

The two brothers Li and Xue Ming used their wealth to connect with wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River, which can be considered astonishing wealth.

He and Mei Zhen's family are a perfect match.

At Mei Zhen Huang Bang High School, the relationship with the Mei family's eldest family has eased a bit, and a lot of money has been borrowed.

But in a place like the Hanlin Academy, it is the best place to be in the same year as Guangdong, to visit teachers frequently, and to consult with the seniors.

If you want to get ahead early, you need to spend a lot of gold and silver.

Those who can afford it can naturally get ahead early and advance step by step.

Those who can't afford it can just stay in the Hanlin Academy to observe politics and cultivate their hopes, work hard to gain qualifications, and look forward to the day when they will succeed.

This time may be three to five years, it may be ten or eight years, or it may be more than twenty years.

In order to gain the throne, Mei Zhen needed too much money. The Mei family in Jiangnan was still headed by Mr. Fu Weng at that time, and he was not happy with the appearance of his second wife when they were fighting for property, so it was impossible to provide too much money.

Mei Zhen borrowed tens of thousands of taels of silver from Xue Ming...

Originally, it was said that Mei Zhen would repay the money when she was sent to the state capital. However, in the past few years, the Xue family's reputation has been declining year by year, and the Mei family has never mentioned the matter of repaying the money.

Xue Ming also recognized it and regarded it as a dowry for Baoqin to marry into the Mei family in the future.

I didn't expect that it would come to this point.

Mei Zhen's face after she broke up with her that day really shocked Xue Ming.

He couldn't figure out how his old friend who had been dating for decades could have such a face.

Is this also Hanlin, who is well-read in poetry?

At this point, not to mention that the Mei family has suffered a big setback, even if the Mei family still has a bright future, it is impossible for him to marry a daughter.

How can your daughter not be bullied to death in such a family?

Thinking of this, Xue Ming shook his head and said: "Speaking of what happened that day, Brother Qiang, you were also present. You saw it with your own eyes. It was not the power of my Xue family. Seeing that the Mei family was in trouble... Well, since this marriage has already

If it's broken, let's break it off. No matter how big an official the Mei family father and son can be in the future, my Xue family can't afford this marriage. Otherwise, Qin'er will be bullied if she marries her."

Jia Qiang smiled and said: "Okay, if so, I understand. There is no need to treat Mei Huai as a relative..."

Xue Ming smiled bitterly when he heard this and said: "Although the matter has reached this point, I would like to ask Brother Qiang to tell the Mei family and his son that the tens of thousands of taels of silver borrowed by the Mei family do not have to be repaid. Then the Mei family and his son... please try to make it happen."

They made it out of Yangzhou Mansion alive, and they didn't want to die in an accidental fire or fall into the water."

Hearing this, Jia Qiang somewhat understood why Xue Ming did not take action on Chaofeng Brand so many years after Xue Li's death.

This is indeed a rare and kind person.

But, doesn’t he understand that if you kill a snake, it will leave you with trouble in the future?

What's more, the person the Mei family and his son hate the most is not the Xue family, but Jia Qiang.

But on the surface, Jia Qiang still agreed to Xue Ming...

…

Come out of the living room and return to the small study.

When he opened the door, he saw Daiyu sitting in front of the desk, drawing circles with a pen, obviously correcting the essays he had done before.

Hearing the sound of movement at the door, Daiyu looked sideways and saw Jia Qiang entering the door. She said meaningfully: "I didn't expect that you are so busy now and still have time to make a fuss... Sister Baoqin has gone back?"

Jia Qiang laughed heartily when she heard this, but she said solemnly: "I went back, but I didn't see her. She was serving her mother. As for being busy... I don't know, but in the eyes of others, I am stunning and beautiful.

The God of Feng is handsome, he can turn his hands into clouds, he can turn his hands into rain, he is resourceful, he is a rare talent, and he has many things to do every day..."

"Pfft!"

Daiyu couldn't stand it any longer and laughed angrily: "I just realized that you are becoming more and more thick-skinned!"

Jia Qiang shook her head and said: "In short, although it seems to outsiders that I am very busy, I know in my heart that most of that busyness and prestige are false. I have to rely on myself to gain a foothold first. So,

I dare not slack off for a day. Of course, with a famous teacher like Aunt Lin here, I am very confident."

Seeing his sincerity, Daiyu nodded with satisfaction and said, "If you have such a heart, why worry about not being able to get the honor?" But just after she finished her praise, her expression suddenly changed, and she looked at Jia Qiang with an unkind look and said, "You

Coax me again!"

Jia Qiang was stunned and said: "Where is the word "coaxing"?

Daiyu gritted her teeth and said, "You always use nice words to coax me. You are obviously treating me like an eleven or twelve-year-old child!"

Jia Qiang looked strange and said: "How is this possible? Auntie, you are already thirteen this year, you are no longer a child of eleven or twelve!"

"I told you that you were such a rotten person, I knew you were going to set me up again! I won't let you go now!"

Daiyu blushed with shame and anger after hearing this, stood up, put down her pen, and came to arrest Jia Qiang.

Jia Qiang laughed and dodged, but after running for a while, she saw that Daiyu was sweating on her forehead and panting, so she deliberately missed and was captured. After raising her hand and being hit twice, Daiyu looked at Jia Qiang angrily.

"Threat" said: "Do you still dare to trick me?"

Jia Qiang shook her head repeatedly and said: "I don't dare, I don't dare anymore! In fact, I didn't mean to coax you, I just hope to see you smile more. I don't know why, seeing Aunt Lin smile more, I feel very happy in my heart.

It is so comfortable that even a day’s fatigue can dissipate most of it.”

When Daiyu heard this, her pretty face turned red instantly, and she couldn't even raise her head. She just whispered: "You... don't say such things again, or I will tell daddy." After a pause, she said: "This

I haven't been able to feel at peace in my heart for the past two days. You should be more careful when you are outside."

Jia Qiang smiled warmly and said: "After I finish my work tomorrow, I will stay at home and wait until the New Year before going out."

After saying "Yeah", Daiyu slowly raised her eyes, glanced at Jia Qiang, then turned and left...
