499 Peanut and Sunflower Seeds

Please wait for 24 hours and wait patiently. "What are the criteria for choosing a spouse for mothers?"

My mother paused for this new term and quickly understood the meaning. She smiled and said, "I have experienced the wind and rain, and I have seen the world. I cherish women and children, and I have a broad mind."

In just sixteen words, it is a portrayal of a woman's happy life.

"I don't want to be friends with the Ding brother and sister anymore."

The mother didn't care and said, "Miss Ding's temperament is a child. Mr. Ding is graceful and polite, but his eyebrows are tight, which is probably not an open-minded person."

"Mother observed it carefully."

"I should pay attention to the young man who is smiling and interacting with me." Oh, the same tone as my previous life.

"What else does this person have except being unfaithful?" Xiaoxiao was very interested in Ding Jin.

My mother thought: "The eyes are sharp and the eyes move quickly. I am afraid that I have more ambitions and lack courage."

Xiaoxiao nodded when she heard this, and her mother said very well.

"Mom, is my dad as you said?"

"What?"

"With the wind and rain, see the world, cherish women and children, and have a broad mind."

"Of course."

My mother did not pause or think at all, and she answered very decisively.

Xiaoxiao said, "I want to hear the story of you and my father. Can you tell it?"

My mother closed the book in her hand: "If you listen sincerely, I will tell you for my mother, it is ordinary and boring."

"Sincerely listening, it must be extraordinary and interesting."

So the story comes from the bumpy carriage.

"Do you know why we didn't go back to Kyoto before?" Mother said first.

This is also Xiaoxiao was quite confused. Zhaozhou is not far from Kyoto, so it was said that the mother and the mother should have lived in Kyoto long ago.

My mother looked at the spring scenery outside the window and said, "Now, your grandfather has acquiesced to us to return to Beijing. It seems that the old man has forgiven Saburo."

Sanlang? It seems that this is the name of his parents in private. Father Xingsan, thinking about his previous life, his mother directly called him "Tang Laosan".

"The Tang family was the home of the Yuanlong Dynasty, so the people in Kyoto call it the 'Gold Tang family'."

This is something I heard about. The Golden Tang family sounds very loud.

"Although it is a business family, your grandfather has always admired scholars. His five sons were sent to the best academy to study, hoping to achieve success in his studies."

To be successful in your studies? To put it bluntly, you will get fame and become a high-ranking official. If you have too much money, you will be thinking about power. If you have too much power, you will be thinking about money. It seems that people in any lifetime are the same.

"Among these five sons, your father is the one who is most aware of his studies, so your grandfather has always looked at him differently. Unfortunately, your father has not done what your grandfather wants..."

...

Xiaoxiao listened to her mother's story in her ears, but her eyes looked out the window of the carriage. A row of green silk ears hanging from the edge of the window, like the green tree of Buddha's hands in my grandfather's house in the past.

After several lifetimes, fate still exists.

Looking back on my life, my father went to the south to study for university and met Zhejiang girl Gu Shan. The two met next to the Buddha-hand tree on campus. The refreshing fruit fragrance lingers in their ears and noses...

This is true in this life. Xiaoxiao never expected that his father was also a student of his grandfather.

I just learned from my mother that in order to cultivate my father, my grandfather specially sent him to a famous southern institution to study, studied at Xizhi Academy in Lanxi, Zhejiang, and became the teacher of Mr. Gu Xu, the most famous academy, who was Xiaoxiao's grandfather.

Mr. Gu Xu was very fond of Tang Sheng, calling him a talent that had never been seen in a century, and allowed him to live in his guest room, and talk to him about literature and theory every morning and evening. In addition, his two sons were also students, so the four of them often talked at night, which was a great time.

Mr. Gu Xu's wife died early. The husband loved his wife deeply, and did not take a concubine or reconcile. All the affairs in the inner courtyard were managed by his daughter Shan Niang. Tang Sheng lived in Gu Mansion and was taken care of by Shan Niang. Moreover, Shan Niang was with her father and brother all day long, and she was influenced by her. Although she was not proficient in poetry and books, she was much better than ordinary women.

Tang Sheng occasionally chatted with Shan Niang and learned that Shan Niang was quite good at math and was good at coordinating skills. It was precisely this method that he used to handle all matters in the inner courtyard in an orderly manner. Shan Niang was born with beautiful temperament. Although she was not dressed up, she dressed simple and plainly. In Tang Sheng's eyes at that time, she had the style of the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Because her mother died early, Shan Niang was not good at maiden and did not know the worldly style. This was cute and unique in Tang Sheng's eyes, unlike ordinary daughters.

Finally, at dusk one day, in front of Tang Sheng’s guest room, facing Shan Niang who was serving tea, Tang Sheng boldly expressed his heart.

There are several Buddha hand trees planted in the yard, one by one, Buddha hand is opened and the palm is yellow, giving off a sweet fragrance.

Shanniang tied her black hairpin with a sandalwood hairpin, and her long robe with plain silk in the rice paper rippled slightly in the wind, but her cheeks were as red as if drunk.

The matter between the two was strongly agreed by the elders on both sides, and they quickly got married.

Tang Sheng told Shan Niang about his ambitions, but he had no intention of career and was determined to be in the business world.

Shan Niang said: "There is also a way of business, and the ups and downs of the world do not allow the officialdom. Shan Niang has decided to follow Saburo, but unfortunately, Shan Niang knows nothing about social engagements, so she is afraid she can only help Saburo handle accounts."

Tang Sanlang said: "Sanlang is enough for this to say to Shan Niang."

Unexpectedly, Old Master Tang was devoted to preparing for the competition that year. When he heard that Sanlang Zhixiang fainted, he woke up and said that he had no such son again, and Sanlang would never step into the Tang Mansion.

Sanlang also secretly vowed that he would make a name for himself in the business world and return home in glory, and he would not be afraid that his father would not recognize him.

"There is not much capital, Shan Niang is just afraid that she will suffer with me." Sanlang said.

"It's all you can do when you sell wine in a house." Shan Niang said.

My father-in-law Gu Xu was abnormal, saying that he only studied hard for ten years and did not necessarily have to devote himself to the officialdom. The people he learned were wise and flexible, and he could become the top scholar in any industry.

Mr. Gu Xu was a simple and simple life. He used the spare time at home and provided 500 taels of silver as capital for his son-in-law.

Saburo's mother also secretly took out 200 taels of private money for her son.

Sanlang himself borrowed 100 taels from all over the place.

Tang Sanlang and Gu Shanniang, the two of them used 800 silver as their principal and started in Lanxi.

Sanlang took the materials nearby and invited an embroiderer from Suzhou. He opened a small Su embroidery workshop in Lanxi, customized it into the colors that northerners like, and then sold it to the north. Shanniang reasonably arranged the embroiderer's embroidery schedule, handover time, maximized the principal, increased production, and kept the accounts in order.

Tang Sanlang personally negotiated with silk shops in Shandong, Hebei and other places. Because of the low profits and good goods, 90% of the deal was negotiated.

The young couple made their first pot of gold...

Now that the family is big and the business is big, it almost monopolizes the silk industry in the north, and has won the title of "Silk Little Tang Family".

Mr. Tang's gold Chengcai was hit by the Sichuan Zhao family for several years and was almost overturned. Fortunately, Saburo secretly sent huge gold to support him, so he was able to escape danger. The Tang family Shiro Goro was not successful enough, one was shallow and the other was reckless, and the business was completely supported by Saburo, so he managed it well.

Mr. Tang knew all this, but he couldn't hide his face and didn't want to invite his son and his family to come back.

This year, the old lady compiled a book and urged her son to come to Beijing, but the old lady did not stop him. She hid out on the grounds that Chengde Gold Mine needed to be supervised in person. According to the old lady's opinion, the old man would have to come back in a few days.

Tang Sanlang's business has become stable, and Shan Niang no longer has to worry about it. She only manages the accounts. Because she is good at calculations, these accounts are no problem for her, so she spends most of her time enjoying her happiness at home.

The marriage crisis in the previous life also started with Ms. Gu Shan becoming a full-time housewife...

Such a good girl, I will never be able to get rid of her in the future. Xiaoxiao's premonition should be correct.

Zhijin seemed to have made up his mind and said slowly: "Since the girl asked me about it, I dared to tell my own thoughts. The girl should have known that I had made a marriage with Manchang, or because of this relationship, I have been close to him since childhood and regard the other party as different. When Manchang came back this time, it was to do what the master told me, and it was to propose marriage to my family..."

"This is a happy event. You and Man Changcha can be like Ci Gu and Ruixiang."

"I am not lucky..." Zhijin was deeply humble, "The master wanted to hand it over to Manchang in a village in the capital. Manchang meant... After getting married, we took our mother and some of us to live in the village..."

No one wants to be able to face his husband day and night. What's more, his mother's family has followed him, so he feels more at ease. I remember that Manchang was an orphan, and it seems that he regards Zhijin's mother's family as his home.

"It's rare that he has this kind of heart." Xiaoxiao personally helped Zhijin stand up, "I remember your father was managing a farm in Zhaozhou, right?"

Zhijin stood up and lowered his head: "Yes, my father is taking care of two dyeing workshops for the master. Forget it, since the girl mentioned it, the ugly servant of this family said with a shameless face. After my unlucky father was valued by the master, he saved a few money because the farm had a commission and passed by Minglu. But when the man had money, he lost his heart and bought a little wife and lived with her in the farm. It is said that the people in the farm treated her as the housekeeper's wife. Especially after the woman had a son, my father even left the four of us and regarded the other side as his home."

My father's capable general married his little wife, and what's even more annoying is that he regards his concubine as his wife. I wonder what his father thinks: "Do you know about this?"

"Of course I know that nothing can be hidden from the master. When my father married the woman, the master even gave me a gift. When their son was a hundred days old, the master even gave me a red envelope."

Oh, this is my father's attitude.

Xiaoxiao held a kumquat in her mouth. Although she had marinated it with honey, she still felt sour: "By the way, where is the Zhuangzi managed by Manchang in Kyoto?"

"In the eastern suburbs of Kyoto, it is a large village closest to the Tang family in Kyoto. It is said that it is mainly weaving silk and cotton, and sometimes dyeing it with valium."

He smiled and said, "Then we are not far away. If you miss us, go back to the Tang family. Besides, you will always come back to pay the account to your wife every month. In the future, if I get tired of staying in the Tang family, I will go to the village to play with you."

Ji Jin sniffed his nose, picked up a veil and wiped his eyes: "The girl's heart of fulfillment is not enough for me to repay you."

"Stop crying. You have become a kiss, your mother and sister are following you, and you are still married to someone you love. Where can I find such a happy event?"

You have served me for ten years, and there are hard work even if you have no credit. My girl in my house wants to get married, so naturally she will not treat you badly. My father would give her a gift to her concubines. My close-fits-all girl, the matchmaker, can she be a dwarf?

This should not be said too early, as it gives people hope for no reason, and sometimes it is not a good thing.

"In this way, only Wahong and Ranbi are left beside the girl. There is only one girl in the room, and now there are even fewer ones." Zhijin couldn't help but say. Although he was standing and talking without pain in his back, it was also from his heart.

"Do you have a suitable candidate?" Xiaoxiao asked simply.

Zhijin thought for a while: "The ones who are more careful in this yard are Geli, and the rest are all very playful. However, Geli is too young, and she is only eight years old this year, so it is not too late to promote it in two years."

"For other yards, people who cook, wash, and do miscellaneous work, as long as the person is suitable."

Maybe because I was leaving, Ji Jin lost his worries and threw all the troubles behind me. Anyway, I was going to leave the yard, so I didn’t care about Madam Xu and Ma. What does their relatives have to do with me? I just want to choose a nice girl for my girl, which can be considered as finding a successor for myself.
