Greetings, Ninth Uncle

Cheng Yujin counted twice carefully. Because it was just a rough look at the time, she was afraid that she could not remember it, and she deliberately measured it for a while, and finally determined that the number of gold ingots was not small, except that there was a pile of land titles.

Cheng Yujin rarely gives up the shame of feeling the gentleman's belly with a villain's heart. If Cheng Yuanjing knows what she just thought, I'm afraid he will get the deeds and notes back.

Cheng Yujin pretended that nothing happened, and looked at the title deed carefully.

Cheng Yujin read the title deed from beginning to end, and sighed in his heart. In the past few years, Old Master Hou took advantage of the prince's momentum and did not make a fortune. Today, Old Master Hou Cheng gave it all at once. There are nearly 16 hectares of land, seven shops, one real estate, six thousand two thousand silver, four boxes of calligraphy and painting gold, and a whole box of gold ingots. This is still the prince can not show his identity, Old Master Hou Cheng took the opportunity to take a ride. In the past few years, Mr. Cheng has accumulated so much money himself. How many assets does Cheng Yuanjing have?

Cheng Yujin couldn't imagine.

Cheng Yujin put the deeds aside, highlighted the lights, took out the account books he had taken back from Old Master Hou, and looked at them seriously. I didn't expect such a look, but it was far beyond Cheng Yujin's expectations.

Grandpa Cheng gave her a total of three shops, two in Zhengxifang, one in Xuanbeifang, in addition to a small farm. Because Cheng Yumo was given a box of gold and silverware, and a thousand or two silvers, Cheng Yujin originally expected her to have a shop value of about two thousand twos. I didn't expect the actual situation of the shop to be much stronger than she thought.

Zhengxifang is a prosperous place, not far away is the six government offices of the court, and these two shops are facing the street, one is a cloth shop, the other is a jewelry shop, and the business is good. The glaze shop in Xuanbei Square was stained with the light of the official glaze factory. After the management, the business was profitable.

This is much stronger than those of Cheng Yumo's dead objects. Gold and silver and other objects are of course beautiful, but if they are to be realized, they will inevitably have to be discounted. Needless to say, silver tickets, one thousand two in the box will not increase, but will gradually depreciate over time, unless the money is printed, otherwise the total value of the money has been decreasing.

It is also very important that these three shops are in Beijing, even the small village is also in the suburbs. Cheng Yuanxian and Cheng Yuanhan each got two stores, but both are far away in Yangzhou. Cheng Yujin doesn't plan to marry in the future. If she really gives her shops in Jinzhou and other places in Yangzhou, even if there is more profit, she won't get anything.

Cheng Yujin closed the account book and gave birth to a sense of happiness that made him rich overnight. The income of a family is roughly divided into four parts, salaries, fields, business and gray income. The status of Yichun Houfu is not to point to others for filial piety, gray income is negative; Cheng Yuanxian and Cheng Yuanhan ’s salaries are almost negligible; the fields are safe. , But the output is so much in one year, maintaining stability is possible, but it is not possible to make money quickly. The business risks are high, and the returns are also large. Among them, the two shops in Zhengxi Square in Beijing are well located and have high profits. They are almost the main income earners of Cheng Laohou.

Cheng Yujin roughly estimated that perhaps six out of ten of the income sources of Old Master Hou Cheng were in her hands. Not to mention when she was leaving, she was straight and took a box of gold ingots that Old Cheng Hou used to save her life.

Over the years, the master of Qingfu County has provided her with a lot of flashy jewelry for her face. Cheng Yujin's clothes are also changed from season to season, and the previous clothes can hardly be worn. However, Cheng Yujin had noble face, but in fact he was drinking water, knowing himself warmly and coldly. There is no source of money in her hand, and she ca n’t take out Qingfu ’s jewellery to sell it. Everywhere in the mansion is full of human feelings and needs to spend money to manage it, which leads Cheng Yujin to be stretched and often calculate every piece. Where is the silver used?

Therefore, Cheng Yujin always wanted his own dowry, manpower and industry to dream. The blessings of the big room and the second room of the Chengcheng family, the old man Hou Cheng finally was troubled, and proposed to divide the industry. Cheng Yujin relied on the master of Qingfu County and Cheng Yuanxian to brush a wave of presence in front of the old man Hou Cheng. , And successfully got his own. Cheng Yujin roughly listed the properties she had in her hand, and found that she had a grange, three shops, plus the imperial crown prince's unappreciable Gongzhong Xianyin, ten hectares of good land, a few picks and paintings, and the most realistic , A box of gold. In just one night, her property exceeded two thousand two, and she suddenly became rich.

This big surprise can almost be called a disaster. Qingfugui is the master of the county, with a dowry of high prices, plus so many years of hosting Houfuzhongfu for his own benefit, and the money under his hands did not exceed 12,000. Cheng Yujin is quite sure that if others know how much she actually got today, her disaster will start soon.

Unfortunately, they will not know. Cheng Yujin redistributed the things in his hands, and this box of gold ingots could not be seen anyway. Even with the title deed that Cheng Yuanjing plugged into her, together they became Cheng Yujin's last retreat and never showed up. The shop that Lao Hou Cheng gave her was to everyone, and there was no way to hide it. How to keep it in his own hands, Cheng Yujin also needed another plan. As for the collection of old paintings and calligraphy in Old Master Hou's case, Cheng Yujin didn't care, but it was just a piece of cake. It didn't matter if he picked the rest.

Cheng Yujin carefully checked the title deed and the amount of the silver ticket against the lights, and then installed them one by one. Counting money really makes people happy, and Cheng Yujin is in a very happy mood now. Even if she knew how to keep the money of these shops in her hands, it was still a tough battle, and there was no way to affect her good mood.

Tonight is a sleepless night for many people. The master of Gyeongbok County checked the account book all night long. After that, she was a little unbelievable. It's not that Mr. Cheng's net worth is not rich, but it's much worse than they thought.

They thought that Old Master Hou had to have at least tens of thousands of private property, but now it is distributed to each of them, but only five or six thousand. The bridesmaid brought in a cup of hot **** tea and saw that the light was still on in the back room. Qingfu frowned tightly under the light and could n’t help feeling distressed: “Madam, it ’s getting late at night. Please take a break. Those books You have been staring all night, and you have broken your eyes carefully. "

The master of Qingfu County rubbed his eyebrows tiredly. She took over the hot tea from her grandmother and opened the teacup, slowly blowing the heat. The bridesmaid put a pillow behind the main waist of Qingfu County and stood behind the beauty couch. She squeezed her shoulders for Qingfu.

The master of Qingfu County was also really tired. She leaned back on the railing and complained: "The words on the account book are small and dense, and my eyes have been spent all night."

The dowry grandmother advised: "Don't worry, you shouldn't be too tired yourself. Although you are the mother of Houfu, but the big house and the second room haven't been separated yet, you have to return to Hsongfu to make money. Let everyone spend it together. If you do n’t work hard, you wo n’t be able to catch up. If you are a little poor, you will be talked about by the second room. Why not? ”

"Why don't I understand this truth?" Qingfu said, "I really don't know Chai Migui, I didn't know what to do in my mother's house, I didn't think how complicated the housekeeper was. I came to know that everything was difficult after I came to Yichun Hou Mansion. Especially I also want Despite such a big family, my mother-in-law looked at Dadu, but in fact she did not let things go. She had to nod her head for everything in the family, but the trivial things like rice, oil, salt, etc., let me worry about it. Whipping, to make the old lady satisfied, and not to let the second room get into the wrong place. My old lady looked at Majestic, in fact, chicken feathers, if not for Baoer, I would not be happy to take over the gift. "

The grandmother heard nothing. The master of Qingfu County said something right or wrong. She is the wife of the house. She complains about the difficulty of the housekeeper all day long. But there is no cash like the flowing water in the Houfu Gong. How can she save thousands of silver? His dowry doubled. Not to mention anything else, just say that the cloth used to make clothes every quarter in Houfu is bought from Qingfu ’s own cloth village. The dealer is her and the buyer is also hers, but it is not that she sets the price as much as she wants, and buys as much as she wants. Over the years, how much money Houfu Gongzhong has poured into his own hands is probably not easy to count.

The master of Gyeongbok County is complaining now that she is not so pleased. If she is allowed to give up the stewardship, she will not do it.

The bridesmaid did not mention this, and still followed the master of Qingfu County: "The wife said that you have paid too much for the Houfu Committee."

After Qingfu said bad things about her mother-in-law and her mother-in-law, she was very comfortable. She couldn't be reconciled when she saw the books on the table, turning pages and pages quickly. However, no matter what she thinks, there are so many annual profits.

Qingfu stared at the numbers on the account book and twisted his eyebrows, saying: "Does the old Houye have so many foundations? I always feel that it is not enough. He has bought fields and set paintings and paintings all these years. Provided for two houses, only one Yuan Yuanjing, how much silver two would have to spend after ten years of study, not to mention Cheng Yuanjing after the scientific examination, the old Hou Ye did n’t know how much money to plug in. He can take thousands of emergency at a time. , But every year's input, how come even three thousand two is not enough? "

The dowry grandma reminded: "Wife, where is half of the property in the second room?"

"I know, even if the second room is less than three thousand two, I feel strange." Qingfu closed the account book and frowned, "Grandma, you said, did the old Houye make money to earn a living, secretly give Anyone else? "

If Cheng Yujin is here, he must say "yes". The most profitable shops of Cheng Laohouye, as well as the cash that has been accumulated over the years, are now in her name. There will not be more silver in there. After the old man Hou Cheng has a surplus, it is nothing more than to buy farm produce and exchange it for gold to preserve its value. Cheng Yujin got the golden yin and yang wrong, and the farm products that Lao Hou Cheng set up in Jinling also fell into the hands of Cheng Yujin. The cash on the accounts has been replaced by other means. Qingfu now looks at the account books, isn't it too small?

In fact, the dowry grandmother feels that there are not many entries for 32,000 a year. You should know that Qingfu eats and lives in Houfu, and the clothes, food, and housing spend the money in Houfu Gongzhong. Every month there is a monthly payment. At the end of the year, Houfu ’s name will be sent to the village to receive the income. In this way, money can only go in and out, no matter how much the outside industry earns, they have entered their private pockets. Now the big house has got two pavements of Old Master Hou Cheng, a village, and it can enter more than two thousand two times a year. less.

What's more, these are windfalls, which were given to two sons by Cheng Laohou. Qingfu is dissatisfied now, it is nothing more than a lack of greed, and wants more.

When it comes to money, the grandmother is not good at expressing her views. She tentatively said: "Old slaves don't understand. If your wife feels that there is a problem, why don't you talk to your uncle? Uncle walks outside all day long, knows a lot, and surely understands This is the doorway. "

Speaking of Cheng Yuanxian, Qingfu sneered, and clapped the table hard: "He? He doesn't know where he is now. If I had to subsidize money for his expenses in these years, I don't know if I have already saved Baoer How much money he has left. He ’s good, he just throws his hands away, and he knows how to get a woman at home, and see one to get one, no matter how much it costs to raise so many people at home. He is generous to his maggies, those small Hoofs just ask for them, and clothing and jewelry let them speak. Why did he not think about it, where did he come from! "

The master of Qingfu County was so angry when he talked about this. The bridegroom and grandma quickly patted Qingfu on her back: "Mrs. Mo, the uncle can have it now, and you can't rely on you to accumulate money. Say no one to praise your wife. Competent, who does n’t envy Uncle Marrying you, Golden Buddha? "

Hearing the "Golden Bodhisattva", Qingfu's anger slowly fell. She is also extremely proud of her wrists, and Qingfu said with pride: "Who made me die, and he is such a master who spends money without blinking. Marrying chickens with chickens, marrying dogs with dogs, husband-in-law does not Fighting, I can only worry more about it behind my back. I do n’t do it for Baoer. ”

"The wife said that the three young masters are in good health and lively and active. In the future, you will enjoy your children and grandchildren."

The dowry grandma opened her eyes, only to portray Cheng Enbao's rampage as good health, and arrogant and domineering portrayal as lively and active. Qingfu didn't feel that there was a problem with her son. She smiled for a while and sighed: "It's a pity that I didn't have a brother for Bao'er. He was the only one, and he didn't even support each other in the future."

The dowry grandma reminded: "Mrs. Three Young Masters and the elder sister."

"She?" The master of Qingfu County snorted disdainfully, "It's not a mother's womb, her heart will be different, maybe someone's mother crying, she will honor the biological father and mother. If I am too good to her It ’s hard to guarantee that a Zhongshan wolf will not be brought up. It ’s hard to say, and will be bitten back in the end. "

"Mrs., shouldn't the elder girl do it?" The bridesmaid hesitated.

"She doesn't have it now, who knows whether it will happen in the future?" Qingfu said. The grandmother did not say anything when she heard it. With the idea of ​​the master of Qingfu County, who can really get close? It is a pity in the heart of the dowry grandma, in fact, to tell her that the elder girl is more reliable than the three young masters. Cheng Yujin has grown up, looks like his mother-in-law, the blue is better than the blue, and because of growing up next to Qingfu, the housekeeper's wrist and means of making money are only strong. Cheng Yujin can be said to have gathered the advantages of a birth mother and a foster mother at the same time, but he did not have Ruan's filial piety, no Qingfu's arrogance, but dignified and quiet.

On the contrary, looking at the biological son of Qingfu County Master, he was used to lawlessness at a young age, and he did not go up or down. It was simply an enhanced version of the character of Qingfu County Master and Cheng Yuanxian. Married grandma, as her mother-in-law, could not really like Cheng Enbao, let alone an outsider.

A group of people praised the jade embryo, and at a young age, you can see the crooked signs. Which one is reliable is almost something that can be seen by people with clear eyes. But these words can't be said to the grandmother, so she has to laugh with the master of Qingfu County: "My wife said yes."

The night was dark, and Qingfu looked at the account book for a night, knowing that no matter how much he looked at the account book, the money would not increase. He could only stand up regretfully and slowly move his stiff waist: "Checked a night, exhausted me It ’s a pity that you still have to make wedding clothes for others. ”

The dowry grandma waited for the master of Gyeongbok to change clothes and asked, "Ma'am, if you think the number is wrong, why not ask the elder girl tomorrow? Maybe the elder girl has a high share."

The master of Gyeongbuk-gun chuckled: "How is it possible that her granddaughter, who is going to marry, can get much? What the old Hou Ye just sees when they are going to marry, leave something for Bao'er and leave them with a bad face. It ’s just a matter of face. Cheng Yujin was also divorced, and even Cheng Yumo ca n’t compare with him. Cheng Yumo has a thousand or two presses at the bottom of the box. What Cheng Yujin got, I ’m afraid he ca n’t even compare with one thousand two. ”

The owner of Qingfu County did not know where the three stores that Old Man Hou Cheng gave Cheng Yujin were, but she thought that the stores in Yangzhou would not make more than a thousand or two a year. Yuanxian son? She naturally thought that it was just a few broken shops. Old Master Hou was afraid of being unsightly, so she barely used a few empty shelves to send people away.

Married grandma also feels reasonable. After all, Cheng Yujin is a granddaughter. Taken a thousand and two are the kindness of elders. Of course, the wealth of Cheng Houhou ’s money, of course, should be left to his grandson. They didn't think about it at all. They just doubted the second room. They wondered whether there was a wind blowing behind the second room and deceived the industry.

At the moment in the two-room courtyard, Ruan Shi thought the same way. She is not as good as the master of Qingfu County, but she can always feel more money and less money.

Ruan and Cheng Yuanhan whispered in the bed tent all night. The more they talked, the more treacherous and shameless they were. They didn't know how much property they had secretly left. In fact, the money allocated by Old Master Hou Cheng was already a huge sum of money for the second room, but they did not suffer from unevenness. When they thought they could have more, they were indignant and hard to calm down.

This night is destined to be a sleepless night. Many people settled accounts under the lamp in the first half of the night, from Cheng Yujin to Qingfu to Ruan's couple. In the middle of the night, Cheng Yujin had just fallen asleep and was woken up by the noise outside.

Du Ruo wore his clothes and hurriedly tapped the fence outside the bed: "Girl, wake up, old Hou Ye can't do it!"

Cheng Yujin completely fell asleep, immediately lifted the curtain and sat up: "When is it?"

"Just now, people in the front yard knocked on the door to report, and the other rooms were lit."

Cheng Yujin's face suddenly sank. She stopped talking and immediately got up to change her clothes. It wouldn't be a joke that the battle was so big, Cheng Yujin changed into bright clothes, wore a plain single skirt, and hurried to the Fortune Court.

At the moment, the Fortune Court was full of people. At first glance, everyone was woken up in the middle of the night. The women did n’t apply powder, and their makeup was not combed. After all, Ruan ’s foundation was good. It looked good at this moment, but the master of Qingfu County was greatly The old attitude.

Fortunately, nobody cares about this at the moment. Cheng Yujin followed behind the host of Qingfu County and stood in the cold dew for half an hour. When he saw the domestic servant came out of the back room with a sad face, he knelt and cried to Mrs. Cheng as soon as he came out: "Old lady , Grandpa Hou went! "

There was a burst of exclamation in the yard, and there were cries suddenly. Cheng Yujin was also very surprised. Not long ago, she personally took the key from the old man Hou Cheng, just in a blink of an eye, the world is forever. With impermanence and short life, Cheng Yujin bowed his head with a sigh.

Whether she can cry with tears or not, it must be there. When Cheng Yujin bowed his head, he saw Cheng Yumo's face pale and panicked the sleeves of Ruan's shirt in a panic. He said something in a low voice.

Ruan's cries were brewing. After hearing Cheng Yumo's words, his face became difficult to look. Cheng Yujin suddenly got interested, she watched quietly for a while, slowly thinking about the beginning and the end.

Old Master Hou died, his son and daughter-in-law should be filial for three years, and grandchildren should be filial for one year. During this period, you can not wear bright clothes, can not participate in the banquet, naturally can not marry. Huo Changyuan is already 21 years old, Huo Xueshi has been anxious to marry Huo Changyuan, Cheng Yumo now has to keep filial piety for a year, what should she do with Huo Changyuan?
