Chapter seven hundred and eighty first ring children
In the courtyard of the Chen family, Chen Fengxin, the former Miss Chen family and now the hostess of the Ying family, looked at Huan'er who was combing her hair and asked: "Huan'er, did you go to the exchange yesterday?"
Huan'er nodded and said, "Miss, I went to see it, but I didn't dare to tell you."
Chen Fengxin blinked her eyes and asked, "Is there anything you dare not say?"
Huan'er looked at the young lady and said nervously: "Miss, you don't know, yesterday the stock exchange was very gloomy. The stocks of more than a hundred Liaodong service teams were all falling. Many people were so angry that they didn't even eat. They sat down
The atmosphere in the exchange was so miserable as we watched the prices eagerly. Some even got into a quarrel with the traders."
"The exchange has never seen such a broad-based decline in these years?"
"Miss, the Liaoyang Dongqi Service Team you bought has gone up by more than a dollar, down to 12 taels a share. We bought 400 shares, and we lost more than 40 taels of silver in one fell swoop."
Huan'er's eyes suddenly turned red and became moist, and she said, "These more than forty taels of silver are enough for the young lady's expenses for a year, and they are gone all of a sudden."
Chen Fengxin smiled when she heard Huan'er's words.
She grabbed Huan'er's hand and said, "Huan'er, don't be sad. This stock may rise and fall. How can it keep rising forever? We have made a lot of money!"
After thinking about it, Chen Fengxin said: "Yesterday, the newspaper said that this year's Liaodong, Shandong and Taiwan will have a bumper harvest. One town and six provinces will definitely not be able to eat all the food produced. The so-called low grain prices hurt farmers. This year's food prices are higher than last year's.
It's worse than that the grain grown by the common people is all purchased at the prince's protective price. The purchase price of rice and noodles in Liaodong is one or two and eight yuan. At this price, the profits of Liaodong's 'service team' plummet, and the stock price will naturally fall."
Huan'er wiped her tears and said: "Miss, you originally said that when the Dongqi stock price rose to twelve taels per share, you would give the young master five hundred taels of silver to open a restaurant. Now that you have no capital, the young master will have to spend his whole life to open a restaurant."
The waiter is here."
While talking, Huan'er couldn't hold back her tears and started crying.
"It's all Li Zhi's fault for taking away all the land from our Chen family. Our family used to have more than 5,000 acres of land, and we earned several thousand taels of silver a year just for food and rent. The eldest and second young masters are both Tianjin guards.
A well-known romantic man in the city. But when Li Zhi came to share the land, the tenant farmers threatened us with lawsuits and turned the land into public land, causing our family to lose all their income. The master was furious to death."
"I think I, Chen Huan'er, was the first to support the Li family's soap. I lined up several times to buy his soap and talked about the benefits of his soap everywhere. As a result, he became the master of Tianjin and treated our Chen family like this.
..”
Huan'er stamped her feet and said fiercely: "If I had known this, I would not have bought Li's soap anyway, and I would have spoken ill of him everywhere..."
Listening to Huan'er's words, Chen Fengxin became more and more outrageous, and her face turned pale with fright. She quickly stood up and covered Huan'er's mouth.
"The walls have ears, Huan'er, don't get into trouble!"
Huan'er wiped her tears after hearing the young lady's words.
When Chen Fengxin heard that Huan'er stopped complaining, she sighed and said, "You can't blame the prince. When the land tax was equalized, my Chen family still had tens of thousands of taels of savings, but they were all ruined by the eldest brother and the second brother.
Yes. When I was so angry, I also hated my eldest brother. The second brother was ineffective, so why did I hate the prince’s policy?”
Huan'er sniffed and said, "If it weren't for these years, Miss, you used your dowry at the bottom of the box to invest in the Dongqi Service Team's stocks on the stock exchange and earned thousands of taels of silver, the eldest young master and the second young master would
I really don’t even have the money to pay for my son’s marriage.”
"The Chen family and the Ying family now all rely on the young lady."
Chen Fengxin smiled and said: "So, it can't be all because the prince is not good to us gentry. If the stock exchange opened by the prince hadn't helped us make money every year, how could we have the money to buy a house for my five nephews to get married?
During the time when land was equalized, all the gentry who followed the prince at all would have made a fortune by buying some stocks."
"Those gentry who do not invest in stocks, do not save money in banks, and lose their savings are all doing their own evil."
Huan'er didn't agree with what he said, his eyes were red and he didn't respond.
Chen Fengxin blinked and thought about things, but said nothing for a moment. The two of them fell into silence in the room.
After a while, Huan'er said: "Miss, now that Liaodong's service team is no longer profitable, what should we do with our shares? Should we just watch them fall?"
Chen Fengxin thought for a while and asked: "Huan'er, how much did we buy it for?"
Huan'er thought for a while, her face became a little happy, and said: "Miss, we bought it for three taels per share, and now it's twelve taels and nine cents, more than twice as much. We bought it with one thousand two hundred taels of dowry silver."
Four hundred shares, so far I have earned 3,110 taels of silver."
Chen Fengxin nodded and said: "Well, it's enough to make so much. You go to the exchange tomorrow and sell all these stocks. Give the young master five hundred taels of silver and ask him to choose a lively location in the center of the town in Henan.
, open the restaurant."
Chen Fengxin said: "Henan will definitely become more and more prosperous under the rule of the prince. Even if the eldest brother can't make money by opening a restaurant, the value of the restaurant itself will rise in the future. When the time comes, it will still be a big sum of money if it is resold, and there will definitely be no loss.
"
Chen Fengxin added: "I read in the newspaper that Henan's agriculture will be greatly developed, and Henan will gradually implement mechanized planting. That day, the agricultural machinery factory in Tianjin will be unable to receive orders. Huan'er, take two thousand taels of silver to buy five.
Each farm machinery factory’s stock will be bought at 400 taels.”
Seeing that the lady had a new idea, Huan'er blinked and became happy, "Miss, I understand. The lady has the best idea. The stocks that the lady has chosen will definitely not lose money. We lost forty taels of silver yesterday.
You can definitely make money back."
"It's just that, miss, if you give me 500 taels to open a restaurant for the young master, we only have 3800 taels left. If I know that you use so much money to support the young master, will you be unhappy?"
Chen Fengxin smiled and said: "Your uncle's Ying family was originally a big gentry, and like the Chen family, his family was in a poor state. Your uncle now lives outside with a bunch of down-and-out gentry children every day, and gives him ten taels of silver for drinking every month.
He doesn’t care about anything except money, so why would he care whether I help my elder brother or not?”
Huan'er bit her lip and thought for a while, but said nothing.
Chen Fengxin sighed and said: "The Ying family can't count on your uncle. They can only rely on your uncle's two sons. Now they have very good grades in elementary school. If they can go to middle school in the future, they will be in the city hall.
Even if you become an official, you won't bring shame to the Ying family."
When Huan'er heard the young lady's words, her face suddenly turned red and she looked at her belly.
Chen Fengxin looked at Huan'er's movements in the mirror and said with a smile: "Huan'er is four months old. When the money comes tomorrow, we will renovate the side yard that has been abandoned for several years. From now on, Huan'er, you will not be a maid."
Now, I’m going to the side yard to be the Ying family’s bride.”
When Huan'er heard what the young lady said, her face turned red and she said, "Miss, you're making fun of me again. I'm just a maid, and it's all up to the young lady to make the decision for me. Where can I be a concubine?"
Miss Chen's family turned around, took Huan'er's hand, and said with a smile: "I can't let you be a maid for the rest of your life! From now on, you will be the bride of the Ying family, and we will be sisters." chaptererror;
