At the height of the moon, Tao Shunqin stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the shimmering moonlight in the small pond outside the window, and listened quietly to Tao Fengtang's report and analysis of today's events: "After asking many people, it is certain that there is a severe drought in the north. I heard that even
The pastures in the Northern Desert are all dry, and many cattle and sheep have died. There will be no peace in the north this winter. As for fragrant medicine, there is indeed a shortage in various places. Today, I met several people selling fragrant medicine. My son thought, I need some fragrant medicine.
Otherwise, give it a bigger one?"
Although he often did it in the past, it was always a small matter, nothing out of the ordinary. But this time, he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of buying and selling grain to do something big before getting married. Once successful, it would be enough for the whole family to feel at ease.
It tastes good and drinks well for several years.
Tao Shunqin stroked his beard and thought for a long time, then whispered: "You can take care of the food matter tomorrow! The sooner you get there, the cheaper and easier it will be! Let me think about the fragrant medicine matter again.
The risk of taking away so much goods is too great. If you ask people to inquire, you must implement it clearly and there can be no mistakes."
Seeing that he was so cautious, Tao Fengtang couldn't help but calm down his impetuousness. He said yes in a deep voice, and then brought up the matter of Wu Xiang and Lu Mian: "Wu Xiang is fine, he is one of ours anyway, so it's convenient
It’s okay to let him earn a little money for fun. It’s Lu Mian, I think he seems to have something to hide..."
Tao Shunqin lowered his head and straightened the leaves of the pot of autumn orchid in front of the window, and said calmly: "When you are polite to others, you must ask for something. This man is still young, but his mind is quite deep... But it is also true that in his situation, it is very difficult for him to do so.
It's understandable that Yi Yi is not a human being inside and out. I guess he didn't come here for fun or to make a little money like Wu Xiang. Most likely he was inconvenient and needed a lot of money to spend, but he didn't want to spend it.
I had to hide it from my family. It may have something to do with his biological parents... That's all. Our family can't collect enough food from Cheongju and Pingzhou. If you can, please help him. This is also for your future good relationship.
."
Tao Fengtang hesitated for a moment and said: "Dad, my son doesn't feel that the gift he gave is for business. He also wants to make good friends with our family."
"Oh?" Tao Shunqin said with interest, "How do you say that?"
Tao Fengtang said: "The gifts were given in the front. At that time, Ah Rong didn't mention the food and spices. He should have thought about it later."
"You are still too honest." Tao Shunqin smiled: "Given his age and our family's friendship, a gift of half the value is already enough. But he gave it such a heavy gift. He has already wanted to make money.
Do you dare to say that he didn't deliberately make friends with us and wanted to ask you for help? After all, he was young and acted too eagerly."
Tao Fengtang thought about it carefully, and it seemed that there was indeed some meaning in it. She couldn't help but smile: "Dad is right. This man is quite interesting. I asked him if he wanted to play like Wu Xiang, and he shook his head.
head."
Tao Shunqin shook his head and sighed: "If a person from that kind of family can still have such a promising future, how can he be a good person? In this respect, Wu Xiang is inferior to him. In this case, you go and see your aunt
Have you slept? If not, let her come over." After a pause, he said: "Bring Ah Rong with you." This child is really interesting, but it's a pity that she is a girl.
Tao Fengtang obeyed and left.
Mrs. Tao was already getting the hairpin, but Lin Jinrong still stayed in her room, pretending to take Lin Shenzhi's copybook and studying it under the lamp, looking for something to say: "Tomorrow, I should let my seventh brother take some time to copy the copybook, otherwise he will
He is young and forgetful. If he forgets his homework when he goes back, he will be scolded by his grandfather. It will not be so easy to take him out next time."
Mrs. Tao thought it was true: "That's right. It's rare for me to come back, and your aunt has a whole life. She has to try her best to do what she can, so I'll leave this matter to you. Why don't you go to bed? Don't do it again in the middle of the night.
Hot water will cause trouble to others."
Why haven't Tao Fengtang and Tao Shunqin finished talking? Lin Jinrong said sadly: "I'm going to bed now." After lingering for a long time, Mrs. Tao started to chase people away. Just when she couldn't resist, Mother Gong came in softly and said: "Madam,
My uncle, please take the four girls with you to discuss anything you have to do."
Tao asked curiously: "What matters need to be discussed at this point?" After saying this, he was busy asking Chunya to put on her clothes again.
Lin Jinrong was secretly happy. She was so nervous and excited that her palms were sweating. When she saw Tao Fengtang when she went out, she gave him a glance and received Tao Fengtang's approval. She was so excited that she almost wanted to jump up.
Tao was confused: "Fengtang, what's going on?"
Tao Fengtang was determined to betray her, so she smiled and said, "My aunt knew about it in the past. Anyway, it's a good thing."
The mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law, and the more she looked at him, the more she liked him, not to mention that this was her own nephew. Mrs. Tao smiled and lightly hit Tao Fengtang and said angrily: "You kid, you have been tight-lipped since you were a child."
Talking and laughing, they arrived in front of Tao Shunqin's room, but saw that Mrs. Wu was also sitting there. Mrs. Tao became cautious: "Brother, sister-in-law, why is this?"
Tao Shunqin looked at Lin Jinrong with a half-smile, and told what happened: "Nanny has a good sense. Since it is fortune sent by God, we must take advantage of the situation. You will have someone send a letter back immediately to bring the fortune in your village.
Save all the food and see how much cash you have available for use. Leave it all to me and let me take care of it! Be careful not to get wind of it as much as possible."
Mrs. Tao was stunned when she heard this, and looked at Lin Jinrong with complicated eyes. This girl had never been mentioned by her during the journey earlier. This was really unusual, and she had to tell her uncle now. Thinking of it.
Tao felt a little uncomfortable because his daughter didn't trust him.
Lin Jinrong met her eyes and knew that my mother was feeling uncomfortable. She quickly smiled and said: "Uncle, is this business really successful? I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't dare to say it. I was afraid that if I said it, I would be called fanciful.
.But I just couldn’t help it..."
Wu smiled and stretched out her hand towards Lin Jinrong: "Nanny, you are very good."
Lin Jinrong got what he wanted, smiled sweetly, and said sweetly: "I learned it from my uncle, and I am also the daughter of the Tao family! I also have some private money, can it be counted as a shareholding?"
Tao Shunqin was amused by her and laughed loudly: "You girl, you are as big as a brat."
Mrs. Tao was anxious and got up quickly. She wanted to go to Mother Gong to make an inventory to see how much money she could get. She asked Lin Jinrong to leave, but Lin Jinrong refused to leave: "I still have something to ask my uncle."
Mrs. Tao frowned: "It's so late and you're disturbing your uncle."
Tao Shunqin now only felt that this nephew was really interesting. When he was interested, he waved his hand and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I'll listen to what she has to say."
After everyone left, Lin Jinrong carefully poured tea for Tao Shunqin, passed it over, and whispered: "Uncle, can't the fragrant medicine thing be done?"
Tao Shunqin's face showed some caution: "I have to think about this hard."
What else is there to think about? Make sure you make money without losing money. Lin Jinrong couldn't help but advise: "Uncle, I think this matter is not a big problem. We don't have to buy enough at one time, just pick the cheapest one."
What's going in?"
"That's for sure." Tao Shunqin whispered: "I believe your eldest cousin has also told you about the risks involved. This is not something to be taken for granted. If you don't compare with food, you can only go through secret ways to buy fragrant medicine."
It’s difficult. What’s difficult is to find a suitable and safe buyer. Selling is not enough, it has to be safe, otherwise it will be found on us..." The risk in this is that she is a little girl who never leaves the house and never steps out.
Can you feel it?
Only then did Lin Jinrong realize that the Tao family and his son had misunderstood what she meant. What she and Tao Fengtang said was to save the fragrant medicine when it was cheap and trade it when the ban was lifted, instead of rushing to sell it now, but she couldn't
She explained to Tao Shunqin that the ban on these fragrant medicines would be lifted one day, and she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. But she understood that with the current situation, she could only wait and act accordingly, and she could not talk too much, otherwise she would not be able to make money.
Explaining the reasons was enough for her to drink a pot. She had no choice but to say goodbye to Tao Shunqin sadly and went to find Mr. Tao again.
The business of buying and selling grain this time was different from the past. Mrs. Tao knew how much money she could use, but she had to talk to Mother Gong verbally and try to get as much as possible to make sure everything was safe. Mother Gong said: "This
I'm afraid that the matter will not be hidden from the family in the end. If the two families are jealous and go to the old lady and complain to the old lady, it will offend the whole family. The madam should make some plans."
Mrs. Tao sneered and said: "Why? My parents take them with me every time they want to make money? Do they treat me well on weekdays? Before I make any money, do I have to think about them?"
Saying this, she felt a little nervous in her heart. Mother Gong's worries were not wrong. The old lady told her several times about the purchase of saline-alkali land last time, which meant that she was the daughter-in-law of the Lin family. She had a strong family business and would have children in the future.
How can one be so selfish?
"Mom, once uncle starts collecting grain, we can't hide this matter at all. Let's do everything we can first, and then we can tell the family before outsiders do. There's nothing to do." Lin Jinrong opened the door and walked in.
He suggested: "Now is the season of harvesting grain. It should be done sooner rather than later. Let the clan brother handle this matter. If he acts alone, no one will pay attention to him. The iron manager is also familiar with him. I have to tell my father."
, but we have to postpone it for a few days." At this time, you might as well use Mr. Lin San as a shield.
Mrs. Tao was becoming more and more impressed by her. She thought for a while and finally made up her mind: "Mother Gong, go and call Ah Quan. I have something to tell him."
Lin Shiquan was already lying down when he suddenly heard that Mr. Tao was going to see him at this time. His heart suddenly jumped and he immediately realized that the opportunity had come.
He could barely maintain a calm appearance.
Mr. Tao explained his intention clearly and asked Lin Jinrong to hand him the money: "I'll leave early tomorrow. Is it feasible?"
Lin Shiquan nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, aunt, we can do it."
If you want your horse to run fast, you need it to be well fed. Mrs. Tao made a serious promise: "Ah Quan, don't worry, my aunt will not treat you poorly."
Lin Jinrong sent Lin Shiquan out and said softly: "Third brother, I will give you a share."
Lin Shiquan turned around and saw the moonlight shining on Lin Jinrong's face, making her face and eyes soft. She couldn't help but feel warm in her heart, and said in a deep voice: "Thank you. I will live up to my trust."
