MTL - Traveling Through Ancient Times To Be a Shopkeeper-Chapter 88
After the banquet, send off all the guests.
One day, Zhou Yuan felt exhausted from the reception. He was about to go back to rest in the yard when Mother Wei and Aunt Wei looked excitedly, followed by Mother Zhou and others.
Zhou Yuan was wondering what was going on with them, when he heard the funniest request.
Wei's mother asked unceremoniously: "Daughter-in-law, those congratulatory gifts from high-ranking and wealthy families, there are many good things in the congratulatory gifts in the hall, you tell the servants to open them so that your aunt and I can open our eyes." As he spoke, his eyes were shining brightly, as if he wanted to get some benefits from it.
Mother Wei and Aunt Wei thought that if they saw any good things, they would ask for one or two. The elders would ask, and they were still parents. If they didn't give this, it would be unfilial.
Zhou Yuan didn't know what to say after hearing Wei's mother's request, and he was even more speechless in his heart.
He still doesn't know Wei's mother's plan, if he knows, he will be even more speechless.
The grandson's full moon gift is all about it, what kind of elder is this.
Those who followed were stunned.
Aunt Wei, how could Wen Lanzhi not understand their plan, Xiao Liu, who was waiting by her side, also knew, she was so angry in her heart, she felt that the person who made such a request was so shameless.
Even if Zhou Yuan rejected Wei's mother's request in his heart, the other party was a mother-in-law after all, so he couldn't ignore Wei's mother's words.
When he didn't know what to do, Wei Cheng, who was not far away to give orders to the housekeeper, saw a group of people surrounding his wife. His wife's face was full of embarrassment. He walked over and said gently to her: "Yuanyuan, you Why haven't you gone back to your room to rest? After a busy day, your complexion is very bad. Go back and rest quickly. You are so tired and you are just out of confinement. If you don't go to rest, what should you do if you are sick? The elders have me to entertain you, be obedient, Go quickly." Then he said to Mother Wei and the others, "Mother, mother-in-law, aunt, aunt, if you have anything to tell me, just do it."
Wei Cheng was not as easy to fool as Zhou Yuan, Mother Wei and Aunt Wei smiled shyly and said it was all right.
Oh, it's okay, if it's okay, Wei Cheng will drive his daughter-in-law back to the room to rest.
"Mother, mother-in-law, aunt, aunt...... You are all tired today, go back to your room early to rest, I still have a lot of things to deal with, if there is nothing else, I will go to work first."
Afterwards, when Wei Cheng learned what was going on, he sneered, his eyes full of sarcasm.
It's a trick that can't get on the stage by playing nonsense.
—
the second day.
Wei Cheng had no intention of keeping him, so he arranged for a boat to take him back to Nanshan County after breakfast.
He prepared all the gifts that should be given to relatives in advance, one for each family, no more, no less.
One more thing happened before these relatives went back.
Zhou Jiajia, the niece of his daughter-in-law, suddenly lost her temper and wanted to stay.
"Wow... I like my uncle's house. My uncle is my uncle. Why can't I live in my uncle's house? I don't want to leave, I don't want to leave, I want to live in a big house, You don’t feel bad for Jiajia anymore, when the little brother was born, mothers are good to the little brother, grandparents are also good to the little brother, wow~~~~~~”
It is also a headache for a four or five-year-old girl to cry, and Zhou's father and Zhou mother take turns coaxing her.
As a father, Zhou Zheng also had a headache. He had a daughter before, and he had always doted on him. Seeing his daughter who was dressed like a little flower crying with tears in her eyes, he felt distressed.
She was fine yesterday, with a sweet and well-behaved mouth, why is she so petty today.
"Jiajia don't cry, if you like uncle, we can come to your uncle's house again in the future." Third sister-in-law Zhou Wang coaxed her daughter.
"I don't want to, I want to stay, wow—"
Zhou Wang saw that it was not easy to coax her, so she turned her head to look at Zhou Yuan, "Jiajia is usually very good, she must be reluctant to part with Brother Yuan, Brother Yuan, look at this...... ..." The expression was very difficult, as if he felt sorry for his daughter and had nothing to do with her, but also wanted to let her stay and was very reluctant.
Zhou Jiajia also looked at the uncle, and seeing that the uncle didn't answer, she cried even louder.
"Wow—uncle, don't you love Jiajia.....Woooo..."
Zhou Yuan hugged the little glutinous rice balls, and the little glutinous rice **** were lying in the arms of his mother and father, with big eyes rolling around. He was not frightened by the crying of his little cousin in the slightest. Zhou Yuan wanted to hand the little glutinous rice **** to Wei Cheng, and was going to coax them. Wei Cheng He didn't take it, but said he was going to coax.
Wei Cheng stood in front of Zhou Jiajia. Zhou Jiajia was startled when she saw her uncle's aura, hiccupped, and looked at Wei Cheng shaking her little body.
I was stunned.
Wei Cheng knelt down and looked at his little niece, "If Jiajia stays here, my uncle and your uncle won't agree. But, if you stay here, you won't be able to see your parents, and your parents will love your little one." Little brother won't love you anymore, will Jia Jia stay?"
I will never see my parents again—! !
Zhou Jiajia was stunned!
"don't want-"
Zhou Jiajia was so frightened that she threw herself on her father Zhou Zheng's lap, "Jiajia, please don't lose sight of your parents, wow—"
Now that the matter is settled, Zhou Jiajia is not sure to stay.
Wei Cheng's solution made people laugh and cry, and his mother-in-law and father-in-law gave him disapproving looks, how could he say something to scare the child.
Zhou Zheng hugged his daughter who was so frightened and cried and kept telling her not to leave her parents, and looked at Wei Cheng helplessly, "Brother-in-law, you...that's too serious... "
Wei Cheng doesn't think he scares people, as long as it works, he said with a smile, "Okay, don't blame me, as long as it works." When Wei Cheng spoke, his deep eyes quickly glanced at Mrs. Zhou , there was a smile on the surface of the eyes, and there was a trace of coldness in the eyes.
When Zhou Jiajia was crying, he didn't pay attention to anything, but only noticed the expression of the third sister-in-law Zhou Wang. When she lowered her head and coaxed her daughter Zhou Jiajia, there was a triumphant smile in her eyes. Zhou's family focused on the child, and he was the only one who saw it.
However, what is Zhou Wang's intention to instigate her daughter to stay?
With a flash and a sinking of his hand, Wei Cheng smiled toothlessly at his little Tangyuan. The little Tangyuan felt his father's breath, and said "嘿嘿~" to his father.
Seeing the little baby at home and the pampering of his old father, Wei Cheng instantly ignored other things.
After Zhou Yuan handed the child to her husband, he went to the little niece who was hugged and coaxed by his third brother, and said softly: "If Jiajia wants to come to my uncle's house, she can come again next time. My uncle's house welcomes you at any time. Jia Jia is here."
In the end, Zhou Yuan, the uncle, coaxed and made a promise, so Zhou Jiajia didn't bother to stay any longer.
Wei Cheng has no problem with his wife's promise, let his little niece live at home, he is not stingy enough to dislike Zhou Wang, and he will not have a problem with a child.
As for the members of the Wei family, they didn't say anything at the side, they just looked a little unhappy.
The reason is that Uncle Wei still had a showdown with Wei Cheng last night, and he clearly came to ask for the source of goods.
Wei Cheng said a word.
"Uncle, even if you let your grandparents come to me to talk to me, I will not agree to provide you with the source of goods. Maybe it is disrespectful and disrespectful in the eyes of the uncle, but if I disagree, the two elders will not be able to find out my fault , and I can’t use my status as an elder to force me to agree. As for the reason, uncle should know it well. My nephew hopes that you will not destroy my last bit of kinship with the Wei family.”
"However, for the sake of my brother-in-law, I can provide the source of goods provided to my parents' house to my uncle, and my uncle can open shops in the inner city. There are only some shops in the inner city that sell bulk goods, and there are no specialized ones. I don’t need to tell you about the profit if you do well, uncle should understand.”
"I only provide the source of goods sold in one store. If there are more stores, I will apply again. As for the fourth uncle, I don't like it. It is impossible to provide him with the source of goods. If the uncle is willing to share some of the source of goods from me to the four Uncle, I don't care, the choice is in uncle's hands."
Uncle Wei would agree to Wei Cheng's words no matter how reluctant he was. As an uncle, he was treated the same as Wei's father, so there was nothing he could do to surpass his parents.
Fourth Uncle Wei never dared to offend Uncle Wei, and he still had to rely on Uncle Wei's family.
The matter on Uncle Wei's side was settled, but Uncle Zhou's side was unreliable at all.
—
Wei Cheng and Zhou Yuan sent people to the pier, and handed the small glutinous rice **** to the wet nurse and maid.
On the pier, Zhou Yuan was talking with his family, Wei Cheng stood beside Zhou Yuan, his eyes casually glanced over, and saw his wife's third elder brother and his family standing together talking and laughing, just now the little girl was crying at her mother Zhou Wangshi smiled innocently, and Wei Cheng looked at his wife's third brother again, feeling something weird.
After sending all the people away, he went back home.
Wei Cheng suddenly thought of something, and frowned tightly.
Seeing her husband suddenly frowning, Zhou Yuan worriedly asked, "Husband, what's wrong?"
The daughter-in-law's gentle voice, Wei Cheng loosened his brows, looked sideways at the worried-looking daughter-in-law, and comforted him: "It's nothing, I'm thinking about a small matter."
Zhou Yuan was dissatisfied and said, "Is there something troublesome? If you don't frown so tightly on small things, you must have encountered some difficulties, and you still hide it from me."
Wei Cheng's heart softened, his wife always understood him best, but he didn't want to say it out, after all it was just his guess, so he made up nonsense, "How can there be any difficulties, I was thinking about your little niece, why? All of a sudden, they want to stay and live, children can't live without their parents."
Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "Husband, you are very good at business, you don't know these children's ideas, so you don't understand them. Jiajia probably stayed here because she felt new for a while."
"Yuan Yuan said yes." Wei Cheng thought about some things and asked first, and then asked his wife casually, "Yuan Yuan, among your sisters-in-law, the third sister-in-law is the best. Among the three elder brothers, the elder brother The second elder brother's five senses are more handsome than the mother-in-law's, the third elder brother looks ordinary, how could the third sister-in-law fall in love with the third elder brother?"
Zhou Yuan is used to his husband getting to know his natal family from time to time, so he replied casually: "The marriages of the elder brothers in the family are all introduced by the matchmaker. The marriage between the third brother and the third sister-in-law is said to be because the third sister-in-law has just been divorced and has a bad reputation in the village." Well, my parents don't care about these things, and the third elder brother took a fancy to the third sister-in-law, and the third sister-in-law's family agreed, and then the third sister-in-law got married."
Was divorced?
Wei Cheng had a bad feeling in his heart.
I won't let him guess right...
Forget it, let someone check it out.
As for the consequences of going to investigate, Wei Cheng hesitated—
—
Wei Lei and Ren Nianluo moved to Fucheng, most of Wei Cheng's affairs were handed over to Wei Lei, and he was more free to take care of the children at home and take his wife to go shopping around Jinzhou.
Wei Cheng didn't take the next step. The properties under his name are all in high demand. Why didn't they continue to expand? This makes many people who follow the trend of the Wei Mansion puzzled.
Steward Quan returned to Jinzhou Fucheng, and did not go to the imperial city again.
Wei Cheng would meet with Steward Quan occasionally, and once they talked about things together, and asked about Yin Chengfeng's recent situation, Steward Quan replied with a smile: "Master Wei, you are embarrassing me. I have returned to Fucheng. I am not alone in matters concerning the young master." People know, except for arranging delivery of goods to the imperial city, I don't know about the rest."
The two of them were just chatting, and they didn't really want to know about Yin Chengfeng's affairs in the imperial city. After Wei Cheng heard it, he laughed and joked, "Aren't you the steward of that guy, Yin Chengfeng, the steward! You didn't stay in the imperial city and went back to Fucheng, Yin Chengfeng That guy sent you away?"
"As the young master's housekeeper, of course I'll be where the young master's house is." Steward Quan said with a smile: "The young master and the young master will come to Fucheng in a few months, so I have to come back early to make arrangements."
Yin Chengfeng is coming to Fucheng?
Are you still dragging your family?
Sure enough, half a year later.
Wei Cheng and his wife were at home, Yin Chengfeng came uninvited, and brought his husband Qi Yihan with him.
"Wei Cheng, no surprise, this young master has come to Fucheng!"
"My young master has come to Fucheng. We will have more time to meet each other in the future. My mansion is not far from your mansion. In the future, the two families will visit each other often."
"By the way, where's your little brother? He's not cute. Brother Yuan, take your little brother out and have a look. If he's cute, he'll make it my son's wife."
Yin Chengfeng's handsome face was still flamboyant when he entered Wei's mansion, and he was crackling at Wei Cheng and Zhou Yuan. At first, he was surprised that he returned to the mansion, but what he said later made Wei Cheng really want to throw him out on the spot. .
Whether his little brother is cute or not is none of your business!
Your son wants to hit his little brother without a trace, what a shame!
With a dark face, Wei Cheng said to the servant who came to serve tea: "Serve Yin Fulang some tea, as for that unwelcome guy, if he comes uninvited, he has no place, so leave him."
Zhou Yuan and Qi Yihan covered their mouths and laughed.
Yin Chengfeng immediately protested, "Hey, why am I not welcome? This young master came to your house to surprise you within two hours after returning to Fucheng. You should feel honored." Then he said to the servants, "Don't listen to your master, leave the tea for my young master."
"..."
The servant didn't know who to listen to, he wouldn't dare if the master didn't speak, and when he saw that the master was just joking, she couldn't really remove the tea.
Isn't this embarrassing such a little servant like her!
In the end it was Zhou Yuan who spoke, and the servants put down the tea with a sense of relief, and left in a hurry.
Yin Chengfeng drank his tea proudly.
Wei Cheng rolled his eyes and ignored this guy.
Yin Chengfeng put down his teacup and announced, "I will settle down in Fucheng from now on, and I won't go back to the imperial city."
Wei Cheng was surprised, and Yin Chengfeng smiled proudly when he saw his surprise, waiting for someone to ask, but Wei Cheng not only didn't ask after he was surprised, but was very disgusted, "You committed a crime and escaped from the imperial city to Fucheng?"
"..." Yin Chengfeng jumped up immediately, and when he got excited, he said a lot, "Bah! You are the only one who committed a crime. I am still the noble Young Master Yin. If my old lady didn't start plotting against me to take a concubine, I would I don’t need to come to Jinzhou. I took a bunch of concubines for my elder brother, but I didn’t see how many more children in the family to carry on the family, and my elder brother was cold-hearted to Yan Luo. Those concubines he took were all for display. After harming my elder brother, he wants to harm him now I, I don’t take concubines!”
Wei Cheng: "..."
Zhou Yuan: "......"
Qi Yihan's Qingjuan brows were helpless, why did he just say it.
Yin Chengfeng realized later, his expression froze.
It's a good thing he didn't bring Yan Yi here, otherwise Yan Yi wouldn't have seen his master be stupid.
If Young Master Yin knew this, Yin Chengfeng's flesh and blood would tense up.
"Cough, cough..." Yin Chengfeng laughed, "I didn't say anything..."
Wei Cheng: "..."
Zhou Yuan: "......"
Qi Yihan: "..."
Stupid again!
With a gentle smile, Qi Yihan not only didn't feel ashamed of her husband's stupidity, but was very tolerant.
At the beginning, when his husband said he would not take a concubine, he thought it was a joke. Even if the husband had no idea, the mistress of the Yin family would not agree. However, he did not expect that his husband would do it as soon as he said it. In order to avoid the Yin family taking concubines for him, he chose to leave The monstrous wealth and honor came to Fucheng to settle down.
He is so lucky, he is very happy!
"By the way, I am now an official and businessman of Jinling, and my status is higher than yours. Wei Cheng, we will work together in the future to establish our own power in Fucheng, let the rich and powerful of Fucheng see our ability, and step on them all." Yin Chengfeng Put down the rhetoric.
Wei Cheng: "..." I really don't want to deal with this bastard, thinking that he will improve if he marries his husband, it's still naive of a dandy.
Wei Cheng glanced at him lightly, "I don't have the ability, you just go by yourself if you are so awesome, walk slowly, don't send it off!"
Yin Chengfeng: "..."
Just kidding!
Zhou Yuan and Qi Yihan looked at each other and laughed out loud at the same time.
Zhou Yuan and Qi Yihan didn't care that they continued to talk, Zhou Yuan took Qi Yihan to the backyard, and ordered his servants to bring Xiaotangyuan to him if he woke up.
The two older brothers, Zhou Yuan and Qi Yihan, are not very lively people. They both talked about simple things, and they were still polite. Zhou Yuan told Qi Yihan that Yin Chengfeng was working in Nanshan County, and the two of them chatted. So reserved.
After Xiaotangyuan woke up, she wanted to find her mother, father and father. The nanny brought the little Tangyuan to Zhou Yuan. Qi Yihan looked at the white and tender □the baby was very rare, and even hugged the little Tangyuan in his arms. She was a little noble at first For him, when he saw the little glutinous rice balls, he looked gentle.
"Little glutinous rice **** are so cute, their eyes are as black as grapes, I still don't recognize him when I hold him."
Zhou Yuan was also very surprised that Xiao Tangyuan didn't "babble" to the person who hugged him first, but turned around curiously, as if he was curious about who was hugging him.
"Little Tangyuan should like your breath." Zhou Yuan laughed softly.
"I also like small glutinous rice balls." Qi Yihan teased the small glutinous rice balls.
With the little glutinous rice balls, Zhou Yuan and Qi Yihan didn't even have any strange barriers between them. They chatted like friends. Later, Qi Yihan often came to Wei Mansion to chat with Zhou Yuan. He didn't have any friends in Fucheng. He and Zhou Yuan and Ren Nian Luo became a very good friend in this way.
Yin Chengfeng returned to Fucheng.
Wei Cheng and Yin Chengfeng must have cooperated, and they have no ability to leverage the entire Fucheng. With the identities of Wei Cheng's head and Yin Chengfeng, the two cooperate like ducks in water.
Originally, there was no plan to open a workshop in Fucheng. With Yin Chengfeng controlling the demons and monsters, Weicheng directly expanded, and the Fucheng workshop was completed not long after.
Nanbeihang and Baizhenlou, Baiweifang continued to expand, occupying all the provincial and state capitals during the Dajing Dynasty.
In addition to these, the two opened the first seafood restaurant in Fucheng.
Originally, he didn't have this idea, but one day Yin Chengfeng complained that there were too many sea fish salvaged, and the sea fish were big, and they were all extremely fresh, but they hadn't been kept fresh for long.
Wei Cheng was puzzled: "Isn't there ice to keep it fresh? It shouldn't be a problem to transport it to the imperial city and several provincial capitals, right?"
"Don't you know that the price of ice is expensive?" Yin Chengfeng said, "The cost is high, and the price of sea fish is expensive. Not many people can afford it, and the price of dishes made in Taifulou is very expensive."
Wei Cheng said "Oh".
Yin Chengfeng: "..."
The next day, I received the recipe for making ice.
The cost of making ice is so low? ? ?
If there is this ice-making method, then the sea fish will...
In addition to being pleasantly surprised, Yin Chengfeng: "..."
"There is a formula for making ice, but it is only now coming out!!! How much less silver will be earned!!" Yin Chengfeng yelled!
Wei Cheng didn't bother to talk to him, and opened a teahouse in Fucheng when he was busy.
Tasting tea, exquisite pastries, fragrant baked goods, elegant gatherings...
The reason why Wei Cheng drives is thinking that his daughter-in-law will go out shopping, so that he can have a comfortable place to sit when he is tired from shopping, or he can invite friends to drink tea and chat, instead of being bored at home all day.
Wei Cheng had this idea when Zhou Yuan and Ren Nianluo went out to visit Fucheng, looking for a tea restaurant where they could sit and taste tea. Go, that private room is the private room that those wealthy daughters often go to.
…
In the end, Zhou Yuan and Ren Nianluo sat in the private seat.
If there is a restaurant of his own, no one would **** a seat halfway, but the seafood restaurant would not be open in Fucheng. Wei Cheng opened a teahouse for his daughter-in-law so that her daughter-in-law would not suffer from these grievances.
The teahouse is under the name of Zhou Yuan.
