When Aunt Jun learned that her old father had suffered a stroke, she got up from the bed in a daze.
When I returned to Jun's house with my son, I found that my old father's eyes were crooked, his mouth was slanted, he was drooling constantly, and he couldn't speak. There were only drinking sounds coming from his throat.
Aunt Jun burst into tears, "Dad, dad, why are you like this..."
Mu Zhan saw his grandfather staring at him with beady eyes, as if he had thousands of words to say, but he really couldn't understand what he meant. He sighed deeply and comforted: "Grandpa, please take good care of him, and your grandson will definitely be a good person."
You search for famous doctors to cure you."
Jun Xiangjie shouted several times and had countless things to say to him. He wanted his eldest grandson to avenge him, he wanted his eldest grandson to oust Mu Yan from his position as the crown prince, and he wanted him to kill Mu Yan thousands of times...
But he couldn't say anything and just watched Mu Zhan leave the room.
"Why is it like this?"
After leaving the room, Mu Zhan sighed again and again. It's just millions of taels of silver. With him and his mother here, are you still afraid that the Jun family will not be able to return to its former glory? Why can't you think about it so hard?
Jun Ruoxu stood with him, lowered his head and agreed, "Yeah, I didn't expect it. It just happened overnight."
Jun Ruoxu lowered his head and stared at the bluestone ground with mixed feelings in his heart.
This was his biological grandfather, a blood relative. How could he not feel heartbroken? He had advised his grandfather not to fight with Mu Yan. They were businessmen, so they should not get involved too much and just do their part in their business. However,
Grandfather didn't listen.
Jun Ruoxu looked up at the sky. No one in the world can learn to be satisfied. After getting this, they still want that. After getting that, they still want more.
Mu Zhan turned his head and glanced at him. Seeing his downcast expression, he comforted him and said, "Don't worry. With my cousin here, the position of clan leader will definitely be yours."
If cousin Xu is a direct descendant of the Jun family, and his father and his mother are from the same mother, he will certainly support this cousin who is related to him by blood.
Jun Ruoxu suppressed his emotions, lowered his head and thanked Mu Zhan: "Thank you very much, cousin."
Mu Zhan patted him on the shoulder, "No need to be polite, we are all blood relatives."
"Yes. I listen to my cousin."
When Aunt Jun and her son returned to the Mu Mansion, Aunt Jun was still weeping, "Your grandmother said she acted like this when she heard that Jiao Zan's family was missing."
Aunt Jun wiped her tears bitterly, "I didn't expect that scoundrel Mu Yan to be so capable that he was able to hide Jiao Zan, along with his family, and caught us off guard!"
Originally, she had planned to join forces with Jiao Zan, and let Jiao Zan expose Mu Yan's crimes of setting up private punishments, ignoring court discipline, and randomly capturing high-ranking officials of the imperial court, so as to convict him, and no matter how bad he was, he could be driven out of Yunnan.
Unexpectedly, it was just a wrong eye, and before he could make a move, the person disappeared.
"Mu Yan must be hiding him. Your grandmother said that Jiao Zan is friendly with his sister's family. You should send someone to keep an eye on that family and be sure to find out Jiao Zan's whereabouts."
"Yes, don't worry, mother."
"Originally, I was still thinking about Jiao Zan being related to us, and wanted to talk to your father about his official position, but I didn't expect that he would now go to that scoundrel. Damn it, you idiot!"
He cursed a few times and said, "Mud can't hold up a wall. Anyway, in that case, we can't leave him alone. He has information about your grandfather, so we should find someone early. If we can't let him help us expose Mu Yan, then
There is no need to keep him."
Jiao Zan not only has the handle on her old father, but she also has a lot of handle on her. Now that he has rebelled against him, he will be left alone.
"I understand. I will immediately send someone to keep an eye on that family."
This wasn't enough. They couldn't passively wait to be beaten. They had to do something and hit back hard, otherwise the scoundrel would just think that her mother and son were soft-footed shrimps.
Aunt Jun's chest was filled with hatred. She wished she could kill Mu Yan immediately.
After Jun Xiangjie fell, with Mu Zhan's support, the affairs of the Jun clan fell into Jun Ruoxu's hands.
It's just that he is young, and all the concubines and cousins are not willing to listen to him. And just because he is the head of the eldest house, the concubine brothers are not willing to obey him. The elders of the various clans even bully him for being young and ignorant.
Didn't take him seriously.
The Jun family is about to fall apart.
As soon as Jun Xiangjie fell down, the matter of the North and South Stores was settled. Huo Xi began to make some plans to deal with the bleak business of various shops in the city. However, she was about to give birth, and Mu Yan refused to let her work more.
He had no choice but to put the matter aside for the time being. He asked Gen Qi, Chu Li, and Wan Enyi to discuss it and told them that the shop on Yushi Street could be opened.
Jun Xiangjie previously only knew that the jade mine was still sealed, but in fact, although there was no big move to the outside world, the recruitment of miners had already ended. Because the monthly silver was rich and the treatment was good, it was not as harsh as other mines, and the miners were not recruited.
Being a human being leads to a large number of applicants.
Although it is hidden from outsiders, it has been mined inside without telling outsiders.
Several batches of stones were transported to the capital on ships. Even Wan Enyi's son and son-in-law went to pick out the stones several times, brought them back excitedly, extracted them and carved them carefully.
I believe that as soon as the store opens, it will be available on the shelves.
One thing happened again, and Huo Xi felt much more relaxed. She was just waiting to welcome the arrival of new life in her belly.
"Your Majesty, the eldest son is sending people to investigate Sihai Bank." Gen Qi reported to Mu Yan.
"Oh? Did you find anything?"
Gen Qi was very happy, "No. Even the financial information registered in the Yamen is false. No matter how much he woos other branch clerks, we can't find anything."
Mu Yan smiled, thanks to his experience in Jinyiwei.
Because he is good at following the clues and looking for clues, when he wants to hide the information, he will naturally know what to do and do the opposite. Even if his colleagues in Jin Yiwei come to investigate, they will not be able to find out the truth he wants to hide.
"The eldest son also knows that our bank was opened during the Wu Dynasty. The rich man probably won't recognize him as the prince. He may think that the prince has some connection with Sihai Bank or holds a large stock.
friends."
At that time, the wife said she wanted to open a bank, and she thought of a new name. It was the prince who found a bank from the former dynasty that had closed down, found their descendants, and bought the name and plaque from them.
Mu Yan didn't care, "Let him go. Let him think that I am a friend of Sihai Bank. It will just give the merchants some confidence. My prince is not only a friend, but also all his wealth is in Sihai Bank. This relationship
Isn’t it still reliable?”
Gen Qi nodded and smiled, "Yes, it just so happens that the eldest son's people can help the prince to promote it and add some popularity to Sihai Bank."
Kan Er patted his chest after hearing this, "How can we increase our popularity? Now Sihai Bank is no less popular than Nanbei Goods Bank. The clerks from the nearby shops are helping to line up and carrying the cash boxes, and they can get a lot of silver rewards.
.I even wanted to use my strength. It was a waste of all my strength." It's a pity.
Mu Yan glanced at him sideways, "How about I give you a few days off and you can also carry cash boxes for merchants?"
Kan Er was startled and waved his hand hurriedly, "Hey, Crown Prince, I was just joking. Look at you, you still take the joke seriously." It's really scary, the Crown Prince's eyes look like he's trying to deduct someone's monthly payment.
Within a few days, the weather got even hotter.
Jun Xiangjie was lying on the bed unable to move. Because the people under the girl were serving him carelessly, an unpleasant smell gradually came from the room.
The concubines and grandsons who were originally worried that he would die and would not be able to manage the division of the family's wealth were running to his house frequently, but now they could not even see anyone.
Jun Xiangjie was lying on the bed and his life was worse than death.
That day, several clan elders came together and ran to his bedside to question: "Clan leader, why did you sell the ancestral land too!"
