Chapter 377 Safe Return
Shen Qian thought about it for two days before she understood Huo Xi's intentions.
"Ren's family is an old-fashioned business in the capital. I heard that there are many old relatives in-laws. His family has opened a silk and satin shop for several generations. It can be regarded as a deep foundation, and it is only a matter of time before they turn around."
Huo Xi nodded: "As the saying goes, there is still a bottom when a ship is broken, and there are still three thousand nails. A big business like the Ren family that has been in business for several generations is not so easy to be knocked down."
"That's not true. When Patriarch Ren heard that his master didn't want his property and was willing to lend him money to tide him over, he was stunned for a while and didn't say a word."
Huo Xi sighed: "It's probably because I've seen a lot of sophistication during this period of time. I didn't expect that someone would suddenly be willing to lend them so much money."
During this period of time, I have seen enough of the cruelty of the world, and Patriarch Ren is not the only one.
It is estimated that a thousand grass-mud horses rushed past in Wanjia's heart.
Patriarch Wan originally intended to support his clansmen to protect his business with the strength of his family, and he usually supports his clansmen a lot. This trip to sea was to help the clansmen bring goods, and those who had no money to buy goods, the fortress people also stuffed them on board.
That's great. When they heard that the boat capsized, they would come to the door to make trouble and roll around, trying to compensate people and money.
Ren Wanjia just paid for the goods, and lost a large sum of money. Well, I heard that someone else's boat capsized, and came over to regret it.
Huo Xi didn't know what to say. Such a procrastinating partner will not take him to play next time.
Thinking about the land deed documents and other things that the Ren family mortgaged in my hand, if the Ren family still doesn't pay the money after a year, I won't suffer a loss. These land property shops are all serious and can be exchanged for money.
Huo Xi is not that noble, mainly because she is timid and afraid of revenge. I just want to make money in a low-key way. One more friend is better than one more enemy.
The Ren family started out in the silk business, and they have been in the silk business for generations. They have many mulberry fields in their hands. There are shops and fields in Jiahu, Suzhou and Hangzhou, and there are weaving workshops and dyeing workshops in central Beijing. , silk is the first item to bring.
Being friendly with such a family is also good for yourself.
Besides, I have money in my hand.
I prepared 150,000 taels of silver to go to sea this year, and paid 50,000 taels to Gongzhong. It is not like the other four companies that spend so much money to prepare goods.
Of the 1,000 shi of his family, 600 shi are rock sugar and white sugar, and the official porcelain and brocade are all exchanged from Wu Youcai with sugar. It doesn't cost money to buy either.
Half of the rest of the goods brought are goods from their own workshops. It's just that I bought some tea leaves and other things with silver.
There is not much silver to buy goods. So there are eighty thousand taels in hand.
In addition to the money earned in the fields last year, and the two times I went to Songjiang to exchange sugar money, I still have hundreds of thousands of taels in my hand. You don't need to use Guangfengshui's money to make such a great favor.
Yes, you still need to have money in your hands, and only if you have money can you work hard according to your own wishes.
Otherwise, once Guangfengshui's money is used, the normal operation of the shop will be delayed, and I'm afraid it will suffer. Huo Xi clearly distinguishes public money from private money.
This means not putting all eggs in one basket.
Therefore, the mind must be absolutely clear. Don't put the money in your life into your business. When the business is gone, your life will not be able to survive, which will seriously affect the quality of life.
Otherwise, why do women have dowry money?
Isn't it because the parents of the natal family are afraid that their daughter will be bullied in the in-law's house, so they have nothing to worry about when they are rich? There are many people who give all the dowry money to the husband's family, and are finally abandoned by the husband's family.
Uh, thinking too much.
Anyway, I just want to go smoothly, I need money and contacts. When you are proud, no villain will make trouble in secret, and when you are frustrated, no one will make trouble in secret. Huo Xi and Guang Fengshui didn't intend to stand out by being low-key and keeping a low profile.
She lent money to Ren's family, but didn't say anything outside. In this way, Ren Jiagao got another look.
In this way, we went to the schools for the winter vacation, and the government offices were about to be sealed. Ningbo finally sent back news that their ship had docked.
Yang Fuping is back.
The news came back to Zhuangzi, Yang and Huo Erhuai ran into the city holding An An.
At this time last year, both husband and wife were preparing for the New Year in Zhuangzi. Now he ran into the city desperately and had to wait for Yang Fu.
"Mother, you see that you are still holding An An here in the cold weather, and uncle will only arrive in the capital in a few days. Why bother to come here, and freeze An An again."
"As soon as your mother heard that Uncle Ni was coming back, she couldn't sit still. She wanted me to take her into the city by boat last night."
Ms. Yang glared at Huo Erhuai, seeing that Huo Xi was about to hug An An, she hurriedly handed An An to her.
Huo Xi took An An and hugged her in her arms. The little guy has been around for more than seven months, and it is the time when he is lively and active. Anyone wants to hug him, and he doesn't recognize his birth. coming.
Huo Xi touched his little face, and then his little hand, seeing that it was warm, she felt relieved.
"Mom, you only wear a scarf for An An, and you don't make a hand covering for him." This child can't help but get cold, and it's not good if his hands and feet have chilblains.
"Yes, he refused to wear it, and took it off himself as soon as he put it on."
"Really, is An An so naughty? If she freezes, she will cry." After scratching his little nose, Xiao An An twisted her body with a smile, and lay on Huo Xi's shoulder.
Until the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Yang Fu hurried back to the capital.
"Sister, brother-in-law, Xi'er, Nian'er! I'm back!" At the bow of the boat, she desperately waved to the family on the pier.
Yang looked at him standing peacefully on the bow of the boat, tears rolled down immediately.
In the past few months, I have been worrying about my stomach, and I can't sleep well at night. Whenever I hear bad news, I will go to the temple to burn incense. Come back safely.
"I miss you so much." Looking at Yang's stomach again, he asked cautiously, "Is it a nephew or a niece?" for fear of hearing bad news.
"Nephew, it's okay, it's too cold, so I didn't bring it out." Yang wiped away tears, and held on to his hand.
Yang Fu immediately breathed a sigh of relief. His sister finally has a son.
The family went back to the house, and Ma Xiang and a group of sailors also settled the money, and went back to their respective homes with the goods they bought. Huo Xi, Shen Qianzhong and his assistant stayed behind to unload the goods.
"Master." Zhuifeng Tayue listened to Lei Muyu and the four had met Huo Xi.
Huo Xi encouraged them a few words: "You have worked hard. The yamen has been sealed, and I will register you when the yamen opens next year."
"Thank you, master." Zhu Feng and the others immediately settled down.
Ningbo Shop dispatched three galleons to bring back its own goods. Looking at Langguang Pavilion, the Pei family, the Wan family and Xin Jiutong are also the same, everyone's purchases are only a lot more.
Huo Xi and Shen Qianzhong first transported the silver brought back by Yang Fu to the bank for storage, and put the other goods into the warehouses and cellars of the two shops by category.
After being so busy for two days, it was already the afternoon of New Year's Eve when I returned to Zhuangzi.
