Republic of China small businessman

After dealing with the matter at the back mountain of Luohan Temple, Xie Jing and his party returned to Xichuan City.

Xie Jing was meticulous in his work. Outsiders only knew that the walls of the Arhat Temple had been strengthened, and the rest of the words did not spread.

This spring trip, the gold and silver brought back from the Arhat Temple is also a small harvest, the sporadic handful of gold particles is nothing more than the little golden Buddhas that were dug up.Xie Jing asked Huang Mingyou to look at it, and Mr. Huang said that these had been smashed, and there was basically no point in repairing them, but they could be melted and used for other purposes.

All these gold and silver Xie Jing were handed over to Xu Jun. Except for life and death matters of the Xie family, the rest of Xie Siquan would be handed over to Xu Jun to deal with, because he used to be lazy.

When Xie Jing came to discuss with Xu Jun, Xu Jun pondered for a moment, and said: "According to the old rules, where it comes from, it should be where to go. I remember that after strengthening the walled courtyard of Luohan Temple, there are still some stones left. Why don't you go out?" Qian asked some craftsmen to repair the monks' houses, some roofs leaked, and their lives were really hard."

Xie Jing said: "Okay, I'll send some rice noodles and vegetables over."

Xu Jun said again: "It is enough to donate less. Giving too much at once may attract attention, but it is not good."

Xie Jing nodded in agreement, and went out to do things.

In the evening, when Xu Jun talked to Xie Siquan, Xie Siquan rarely raised his opinion: "You handled it very well, so let's do it this way, and the fields at the foot of the mountain over there don't need to rent a house for three years, so I have the right to pray for my sister. "

Xu Jun said: "Okay."

"As for the remaining gold," Xie Siquan held a string of white jade beads in his hand, thought for a while and said, "Build roads and bridges, do some good deeds, if there is any leftover, build a few schools, use Jing'er's The name, this is also one of sister's thoughts."

Xu Jun agreed and did as he wanted.

April.

The flowers of Xichuan are gradually blooming, colorful.

The ninth master of the Bai family stayed in Xichuan for a whole winter without leaving, and now the business contacts have become closer.The Bai family bought land and shops in the lower city of Xichuan, and bought several hundred acres of farmhouses. For a while, it was rumored in Xichuan City that the Bai and Xie families wanted to cooperate to find a big business.

Some people say that there are noses and eyes, and places where crowds gather, attract a lot of gossip.

"I just got the news that the Beidi Bai family is coming to Xichuan to develop. Who is the most powerful salt merchant in Xichuan City? It's not our Shangcheng Master Xie! Just wait and see, these two good things are coming soon, and Xichuan City will soon be lively Hey!" The man holding his hand said happily, with a smug expression on his face: "A distant relative of my family works as a clerk in the shop newly bought by Lord Bai. I saw it with my own eyes. Wrapped in red gauze, I'm afraid there will be major changes!"

Someone urged: "What changes? Tell me!"

The man clicked his tongue: "You don't know, the Bai family in the north is great. Our place is different from the outside. The business passed down from our ancestors only deals in this category. But the Bai family has dabbled in all kinds of businesses. From inside the customs to outside the customs, no matter which direction you go, you can see the caravan of the Bai family, and the business goes abroad in one go, earning money from foreigners!" He lowered his voice and said, "I heard that this time People from Beidi came here to cooperate with Xie's family in a big deal, and they took a big share of it with sincerity!"

……

There was an uproar in Xichuan City, and they were talking about what the people from the North had done for several days.

For a while, the cooperation between Bai and Xie became even more convincing.

When Xie Siquan was about to lose his composure, someone from Beidi Bai's family came.

A group of Beidi entered the city in the morning, and then carried a dozen boxes of gifts in vermilion lacquered wood along the main road, and went all the way to Xie's house in the upper city.

This time it was the most authoritative elder of the Bai family who was also Bai Jiu's grandfather.

Old Mrs. Bai did not come by himself, but also brought Mr. Huang Mingyou Huang with him.The old man was dressed in new and tidy clothes, and it was rare for Mr. Huang to wear a cheerful dress, a dark red gown. When he saw Xie Siquan, he cupped his hands to congratulate him, with a smile on his face: "Congratulations to Patriarch Xie! A few days ago I heard that Patriarch Xie opened another branch, so Huang came here uninvited today to have a double happiness with Patriarch Xie!"

Xie Siquan glanced at their faces and said, "I don't know which happy event Mr. Huang is talking about?"

Huang Mingyou didn't answer, but first introduced: "This is the old man of the Bai family in Beidi, and also Bai Jiu's grandfather."

The old man Bai came forward in person, how could Xie Siquan dare to let him sit on the side, he supported the seat, and gave up a seat himself.

Old Bai smiled and stroked his beard, and said hello to him. Xie Siquan had not been disciplined by elders for many years. After becoming the head of the family, it was the first time he regarded himself as a junior. Old Bai was polite to him, and he returned the courtesy.

If you don't get kicked out, the matter is half done.

Mr. Huang stood aside and looked at him, then bent his eyes again, and said with a smile: "Patriarch Xie, I have some fate to look at Bai and Xie's family. , Bai Jiu rescued Jing'er again, according to me, the two families should have more contacts in the future, and they will be as close as one family."

Xie Siquan laughed and went around in circles without answering.

Old Master Bai drank a cup of tea and said: "I came from a long way this time because I want to meet Master Xie in person and propose marriage for my grandson Bai Rongjiu." The guards of the Bai family brought up the gifts and put them aside, The words were lined up, and Bai Lao was still polite, with a smile in his eyes, "The Bai family in the north is willing to use half of the city as an employment, and ask Master Xie for someone."

Xie Siquan said calmly, "Who?"

Bai Lao: "Xie's young master, Xie Jing."

Xie Siquan had guessed a few days ago, but he never thought that these northerners would be so straightforward, and they couldn't say a word after going around for a long time.

Mr. Huang laughed and said: "There is an old saying that 'there is no rain in the sky without dark clouds, and there is no marriage without a matchmaker on the ground'. I am Bai Jiu's teacher, and I can be regarded as watching him grow up and become a talent. I hope I will be a middleman for your two families .”

The heavy gift boxes were being carried, and they were opened one by one. Mr. Huang personally stepped forward and took a thick stack of gift slips, which obviously did not seem to be something that these dozen wooden boxes could hold.
