The Fang family's ancestral home is Shandong. Miss Jun's great-grandfather came to Zezhou to sell spices and settled in Yangcheng.
Great-grandfather, who had made a fortune, wanted a bigger industry, but Yangcheng was mostly engaged in coal business, and as an outsider, the Fang family couldn't get involved. Great-grandfather found another way to marry his son to the daughter of the Cao family in Qixian County, and took advantage of the situation to open a business.
Qianzhuang Deshengchang.
With the help of his father-in-law's family and his great-grandfather's good management skills, Deshengchang was built into one of the best banks in a few years and became a big business in Yangcheng and even Zezhou.
After Miss Jun's great-grandfather passed away, the property was inherited by the eldest son Fang Shouyi, who was Miss Jun's maternal grandfather.
Fang Shouyi lived up to his father's instructions and made Deshengchang's business more prosperous. However, just when he was proud of his success in his career, he suddenly fell ill and died at the age of thirty-eight. Fortunately, his son Fang Nianjun was already an adult and could be considered a successor.
Fang Nianjun is Miss Jun's uncle. Although he has just turned 20, he has been running a bank account with his father since he was a child and has already taken over the business. Therefore, the Fang family's bank account has not been affected. Instead, he has caught up with several imperial conquests with the Jin people and supplies of supplies from the north and south.
As the bad luck increased, several fortunes were made, and the Fang family's business improved to a higher level.
But what I didn't expect was that something happened to Fang Nianjun at this moment.
"There's one thing."
When the girls were talking about this, Miss Jun, who had been listening quietly, interrupted them.
The girls looked at Miss Jun with some uneasiness.
"Is there only one male in the Fang family from my great-grandfather's generation?" Miss Jun asked.
When great-grandfather first came to Yangcheng, because he relied on the Cao family, he did not take concubines after marrying a daughter of the Cao family. It was okay to have only one son. But as the industry grew, how could Miss Jun's grandfather only have one son?
A great family and a great business must have prosperous descendants to maintain it.
Hearing her ask this question, the girls' eyes flashed with fear and uneasiness.
"Not really." A girl lowered her head and said, "The old man has four brothers."
In other words, my great-grandfather did not have only one son, Fang Shouyi.
"Mr. Zeng divided the family for them before he passed away. Because he was the eldest son, he inherited the family property of Yangcheng. The remaining brothers returned to their hometown in Shandong with their share of the property, so Yangcheng
The old lady is the only one here." The girl continued.
That's it, Miss Jun nodded.
"Then the same is true for my uncle's brothers? After my grandfather passed away and my uncle inherited the family business, they returned to their hometown in Shandong?" she asked.
The girls chatted.
"The old man only has two children, the master and the young lady." they said.
As a granddaughter, it's ridiculous that she doesn't even know how many brothers and sisters her mother has.
This kid is really big-hearted. He really treats Fang's house as an inn and doesn't even bother to take a second look.
Miss Jun smiled.
"Then what happened to my uncle?" she then asked.
Seeing that she no longer asked about the heir, the girls were relieved. This look was naturally noticed by Miss Jun, but she didn't ask anything.
"At that time, because of the war with the Jin people, the northwest was in turmoil and there were many bandits and horse bandits. The master met the bandits on the way back. Although there were more than a dozen bodyguards to protect him, he was seriously injured. Not long after he came back
He died." A girl said, "At that time, the master was only twenty-five years old."
He died at a younger age than his grandfather, and what was even more terrible was that he had no son who could inherit the family business.
"At that time, I had three daughters, and my wife was just pregnant. Fortunately, she gave birth to a son." Another girl said.
That was fourteen years ago, and Miss Jun was just born. There is no memory of her mother's reaction to this brother's accident.
Miss Jun gave up searching for memories.
"The old lady and my aunt have supported the family business for so many years," she said.
The girls nodded with undisguised admiration on their faces.
"... When I was gone, people from Shandong came to divide the family property... It was the old lady who resisted and drove them away..."
"...I heard from my mother that there are people from the Cao family, not just from Shandong, who want to calculate our family's property..."
"...Although the old lady has not been exposed to business for decades, she is the daughter of the Cao family who started out running a bank account. She just took over the business and stabilized people's hearts in a few months..."
"...Yes, at that time, the industry outside was in turmoil, and my wife at home almost had a miscarriage because of excessive grief. The old lady was busy outside and had to take care of the family..."
"In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed without realizing it. Not only has our Fang family survived, but our business is still very good."
"The old lady is so amazing."
The girls couldn't help chattering. Miss Jun, who had always disliked the lowliness of the Fang family, did not interrupt and scold them. Instead, she listened with a smile and nodded after hearing this.
"Yes, the old lady is really powerful," she said.
The girls were quieted down by her words. They looked at her expression uneasily and saw that she didn't mean to be sarcastic or angry.
"It's not easy either." Miss Jun continued with a sigh.
A woman in a boudoir married her father and followed her husband at home. She originally did not care about foreign affairs, supported her husband and raised children, but she suffered the blow of losing her husband and his son one after another within five years, but she still had to shoulder the burden to support the family business.
In her husband's family, everyone in her natal family is eyeing her, and no one can rely on her. It's all up to herself. The girls said that she took over and stabilized the bank account industry in a few months. This sentence is simple to say, but how difficult it is to do it. Only Mr. Fang
My wife knows it in her heart.
Miss Jun thought about the indifferent expression of the old lady. Miss Jun was very disgusted by this in her memory. She felt that this grandmother was cold and a lowly business woman who only cared about profit but not about human feelings.
So much tenderness has been worn away by this series of blows and more than ten years of hard work. Otherwise, how could I have survived in this precarious situation.
"However, more than ten years have passed, and the young master should be able to be brought out to practice and inherit the family business." Miss Jun said.
This old lady has managed to survive.
As soon as this was said, the girls present looked strange, and Liu'er simply burst into laughter.
"Miss, you have forgotten that Master Fang is a paralytic," she said.
paralytic.
Miss Jun was startled, and then her memory came back. The posthumous son of the Fang family, the only incense, was indeed a paralytic, and a paralytic who would not live to be fifteen.
Even the Fang family was not in Miss Jun's eyes. She was too lazy to ask more questions about this paralytic cousin, so she didn't know what to call him. In her memory, she referred to him as "paralytic".
"My young master is not paralyzed, he is ill." Perhaps it was Miss Jun's pleasant appearance during this period, or perhaps she simply couldn't bear the ridicule of her master, so a girl couldn't help but retort.
Liu'er sneered.
"Does it mean I can't move if I'm sick?" she asked.
The girls were speechless.
"So he is still paralyzed." Liu Er said with a smile.
Miss Jun tapped her fingers on the table, interrupting Liu'er's smile.
"So, the men of the Fang family have suffered misfortunes one after another." She said slowly, "They will no longer be associated with each other soon."
The girls' expressions were dejected and frightened. This expression was the reaction I had just now when I asked about my great-grandfather's other children.
"Then this is too unfortunate. Why are men having accidents one after another?" Miss Jun said softly as she looked at the girls.
The girls lowered their heads and said nothing, while Liu'er clapped her hands with a loud sound.
"I remembered," she said, "Miss Lin's girl said that the men of the Fang family were cursed." (To be continued)
