"I met him a few years ago in Qinlou, Taiyuan. The mother of the house was very respectful to him and called him Uncle Huo. I don't know what his identity is, but...but his identity must be extraordinary, because I don't
It’s easy to see guests, but the owner’s mother makes me insist on seeing them.”
"His name is Huo Duan, and he is the richest man in Jiangnan."
In a place like Jiangnan, becoming the richest man is naturally linked to power. Du Zhiwei reminded: "Master, he recognized me and knew my previous identity."
Xie Fu smiled: "You don't have to worry, Huo Duan and I have a good relationship. In this place in Jiangnan, he still wants to feed me. I didn't let him speak, so he won't dare to speak casually."
Du Zhiwei looked up at Xie Fu. He was overwhelmed by people, and every mountain was even higher.
Xie Fu then said: "I do intend to reveal your identity through Huo Duan's mouth, and give His Highness the crown prince another try."
Du Zhiwei said ah.
Xie Fu smiled: "There used to be a bully who was rampant in the countryside. All the villagers dared to be angry but dared not speak out. No one dared to say a bad word about the bully. One day, the bully's father fell, and these villagers dared to attack him."
"I tell this story to express that it depends on the owner when beating a dog..."
Xie Fu said and changed his words: "Haha...that's not what I meant. I meant that you are mine. Anything they want to do to you must be weighed first."
"As long as I can be the master's slave, it doesn't matter whether it's a human or a dog."
Xie Fuxun said: "Which pot should not be opened and lifted."
Du Zhiwei was immediately amused by the way Xie Fu blew his beard and stared.
Xie Fu said loudly: "Steward Kong, arrange for two people to help Mrs. Du back to the yard."
Before breakfast, Xie Fu went out again and went to Lu Mansion to interview Lu Tao.
The first is to discuss the details of the military competition, and at the same time let Lu Tao know that two of His Royal Highness's personal soldiers will directly enter the finals.
The second is to inform Lu Tao that he is going to attend a palace banquet on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month and will leave immediately after the new year.
Xie Fu's tenure as an official was not long, and he was promoted to the second-grade Jiedu Envoy. Originally, this was just a false title, but according to this trend, he has gradually gained real power.
Taking this opportunity, Xie Fu asked Lu Tao for some advice on officialdom...
Returning to the mansion in the afternoon, Xie Fu sent someone to call Song Huike to the mansion again and asked him to calculate how much cash he had on hand.
Song Huike asked Xie Fu what he wanted to use it for. After all, he spent a lot of money on purchasing a large amount of wheat last time, and whether he still planned to store grain.
Xie Fu said that he had other uses.
Song Huike reminded: "Sir, please don't forget that the Gu, Lu, and Zhang families also have a share in this grain business. If you use the money from the grain business to do your own personal affairs, it is no different from enriching your own pockets."
This reminded Fu Xie that not all the money earned from the grain business belonged to him, so he said: "Mr. Song, then you can calculate my share."
Song Huike smiled bitterly: "Sir, are you trying to break up the gang?"
"how you said that?"
"Sir, according to the rules of Shenfen, there is a settlement every year. Any surplus is divided and any deficit is made up. Now that you are taking away the money that belongs to you in the account, wouldn't you be using other people's money to do business? This is not consistent.
rule."
"That doesn't mean I can't spend the money I have?"
"That's not what I'm saying. If you want to use thousands of taels, it will naturally have no impact. But if you want to take away all your share, it would not be in line with the rules."
"Then I should discuss it with Mrs. Gu, Mrs. Lu, and Mrs. Zhang?"
Song Huike shook his head directly and did not explain much.
He originally thought that he still had some money, but he didn't know that the money could not be used, so the all-member competition became empty talk. Xie Fu said directly: "I need money very much, Mr. Song, please find a way for me."
Song Huike frowned: "Well, sir, if you really need money, I can find a way to get some cash from the business, but you have to tell the Gu, Lu, and Zhang family about this."
"It's no problem with Gu, Lu, and Zhang's family. How much silver can they get?"
"Um...I haven't settled the accounts yet. I can probably spare 80,000 to 100,000 taels without affecting the business."
"so little?"
Song Huike was surprised when he heard this: "Young Master! What on earth do you want to do?"
Xie Fu smiled bitterly. What he wanted to do was similar to rebellion, and rebellion would naturally require an astronomical sum of money.
Seeing that Fu Xie didn't answer, Song Huike didn't dare to ask in detail: "If you are really short of money, you can find a solution from Miss Tantai. After all, Miss Tantai is a wealthy businessman in Suzhou."
"Yeah, I almost forgot that there is a rich woman in my family."
This sentence did not make Song Huike laugh, but made him choke and cough repeatedly.
"Mr. Song, let's do this first."
After Xie Fu finished his instructions, he quickly left the study and headed to the west wing of the inner house.
As soon as the person climbed up to the attic, he shouted: "Crane Qing... Crane Qing..."
The affectionate shouting makes people feel like they haven't been home for three to five years.
Entering the bedroom directly, Tantai Heqing was lying on the bed obediently, with Xia'er waiting on her.
"He Qing, I haven't seen you in the past two days. Are you feeling better?"
Xia Er responded: "Master, it's still the same as before. Miss still can't eat it well. I can't learn your health porridge either."
"Oh, it's such a pain for my dear friend."
Mr. Xie sat down on the edge of the bed and hugged his beloved wife, who was pregnant with Liujia.
My husband-in-law knew what he was pooping when he stuck his butt out. Tantai Heqing looked at Xia'er.
Xia'er understood: "Sir, I'll go downstairs first. If you need anything, you can give me instructions."
As soon as Xia'er turned around, Xie Fu couldn't wait to stroke Tantai Heqing's face and said, "Why are you so haggard after only two days? I feel so sad."
Before Xia'er had gone far, when she heard these words, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile. She didn't know the young master anymore. When did she learn to say such words?
Tantai Heqing said angrily: "You are so stupid, you are making people laugh."
"Come on, come on, lie down, I'm going to give you a massage now."
Tantai Heqing raised his hand to block it: "Come here! If you show courtesy for nothing, you are either cheating or stealing. If you have anything to say, see if I accept it."
My wife, Xie Fu, did not hide anything and said bluntly: "Actually, there is nothing wrong. I just want to lend you some money."
Tantai He looked at Xie Fu affectionately: "If you ask me to speak to me personally, you will of course make me bankrupt."
He then lay down and said, "Pinch it."
Xie Fu asked: "Don't you ask me how much I want to borrow?"
Tantai He said calmly: "Didn't I say that I would be bankrupted?"
These words were said so lightly that Fu Xie couldn't help but marvel at this woman's courage. You must know that this was the family fortune she had built over countless days and nights.
He smiled specially and said, "If you become a beggar woman from now on, you don't care at all?"
Tantai He smiled affectionately: "In life, all you want is a bowl of food and clothing, and sometimes a bit of joy and a bit of satisfaction. I have what I should have. If I become a beggar, I will become a beggar."
Xie Fu groaned: "You are obviously a woman, how come you compare yourself to me?"
Tantai Heqing chuckled and gave Xie Fu a wink: "Slave, don't pinch me yet."
