Chapter 358 Industry

Author: Loeva

Speaking of the house next door, Qin Hanzhen also looked helpless.

In fact, it is not really impossible to drive away the Xie family. However, the Xie family is thick-skinned and takes advantage of the fact that the filial piety period has not passed.

Lao Shangshu's former disciples, Gu Jiu, spoke for them intentionally or unintentionally. Unless they didn't care about their own reputation, it would be difficult to use strong measures.

The emperor decided to give the house to Qin Bai just because he wanted to save face and remember the achievements of Mr. Xie during his lifetime. He thought that after hearing the decree, the Xie family would move out on their own. Wan Wan

I didn’t expect that there would be such shameless people in the world, knowing that the house already had a new owner, but still staying there and refusing to move out. In fact, some of Mr. Xie’s former disciples also tried to persuade them, but they

If they don't listen, their disciples and old friends can't force them to obey, and they don't want to involve their own family, so they can only let them go.

Qin Hanzhen couldn't help but complain to Zhao Mo: "Are the Xie family stupid? The house already belongs to our family. Even if my grandfather has a good temper and is not in a hurry to move or evict people, they should know better.

The best thing to do is move away. They can't take the imperial examination during the filial piety period, and they can't get married. They don't really expect to stay in that house for three years. When the filial piety period is over, they can take the imperial examination and then get married.

Did they just move? The world doesn't revolve around them. It's just that they were lucky enough to meet a kind-hearted man like my grandfather who never made things difficult for them. Otherwise, the whole family would have been born in vain, and his son was not very talented.

The kind with a good future, even the disciples of the Xie family are somewhat alienated from their old friends. If the uncle of the dynasty wants to get into trouble with them, who will protect them?"

Zhao Mo asked her: "Do you want me to give your family an idea? I promise to let them get out within three months!"

Qin Hanzhen said with a smile: "Forget it. My grandfather will never force others. Anyway, our family is going to Jiangnan. We will be away for at least half a year. We will discuss it when we come back. I think this kind of thing can be left to us.

Of course, they will help. Changfang has been neighbors with the Xie family for so many years, so he must know better how to deal with them."

Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo didn't talk for too long about the topic of the house next door. Qin Hanzhen took out his book to review his homework, and asked Zhao Mo for advice on a few things he didn't understand, and the two practiced again in the study.

As soon as the word was written, the sun set towards the west, and Qin Bai, Niu and Qin Ping finally returned to Qingfeng Pavilion.

Both Qin Bai and Qin Ping looked tired, and Mrs. Niu could hardly straighten her waist. As soon as she lay down on the Arhat bed, she repeatedly called Lily Baihui to come and beat her waist and shoulders. The couple almost couldn't stand up in the Kurong Hall.

After sitting for a whole day, it is really too much for a person of this age.

Qin Hanzhen hurriedly stepped forward to give his grandmother a massage: "Have you finished dividing the family today? You won't really have to go tomorrow, right?"

Mrs. Niu was pressed comfortably by her granddaughter, and she hurriedly instructed her to apply more strength to a few particularly sore places, and then said: "The farms, real estate, and shops have all been sorted out, and some valuable antiques, calligraphy, paintings, jewelry, etc. have also been sorted out.

, the dead things have been divided about the same, and there will be slaves tomorrow. The second niece and daughter-in-law said that if there is no noise in the second room tomorrow, and a few more hours, the division can be completed. At that time, please invite some witnesses, the three of us

When the owner of the house formally signed the deed, it was regarded as the official separation of the family. However, this time the separation was urgent, and the second house had not been purchased yet, let alone our house, so for the time being, we only divided the property and not the living. We will wait for each other.

Fang has packed up the house, and it’s not too late to move out.”

At this point, Mrs. Niu couldn't help but curl her lips: "I think if the second wife can't find a good match, I'm afraid they won't be willing to move out. If they stay in this house, they will be the nobles of the Hou Mansion. They move out."

,Does anyone else know who they are?"

Zhao Mo was also beating Qin Bai's shoulders. Qin Ping hurriedly stopped him and said, "I'll do it." Qin Bai stopped him. He smiled gently and said, "You are all good boys and you have your heart. My shoulders are not tired.

There’s no need to beat him.” He asked Zhao Mo again, “Are you here all day?”

Zhao Mo replied: "Yes. I have nowhere else to go, so I am reading and reviewing my homework in the study here. In the morning, I watched Brother Zi memorize the book for a while. After I got up from my lunch break in the afternoon, I discussed her with my cousin.

homework."

Qin Ping said: "Thank you for your hard work, you must be very tired, right? You are studying hard with your father, and you have to help Sister Sang and Brother Zi review their homework. It is really embarrassing. After dinner, you

Just go back and rest, you don’t have to come here tomorrow. The leather goods shop is open, and it will definitely be busy now. Even if you don’t care about the shop, you should go and take a look, after all, it is your property."

Zhao Mo paused and responded.

Qin Ping is somewhat unfamiliar with him, but this is inevitable. He does not live at home and does not get along with Zhao Mo day and night. Naturally, he is a little stranger and more polite, but he does not mean to be alienated from Zhao Mo.

, so Zhao Mo didn’t care.

The maids and ladies quickly brought dinner over. Qin Bai, Niu and Qin Ping, Qin Hanzhen and Zi Geer, and Zhao Mo, gathered around the table and had dinner together. After the meal,

Zhao Mo said goodbye and left on his own. Brother Zi was carried back to his room by Xia He. Qin Ping and Qin Hanzhen stayed behind. Qin Bai sat drinking tea while Niu was a little excited and took his granddaughter to see the three rooms assigned to him today.

Industry and property.

Qin Hanzhen looked at the densely packed small characters on the dozen or so pieces of paper and was a little startled: "So many?!"

Mr. Niu said: "The antique calligraphy, paintings, jewelry and so on at the back are clearly arranged one by one, very clearly and carefully, so it seems a bit long-winded. In fact, if you really need to pack them in boxes, they won't be much."

Qin Ping said with a smile: "Our third brother-in-law is not the legitimate eldest son. When the family was divided, the eldest brother-in-law took up the majority, including the ancestral property and sacrificial fields. The rest was divided equally between our three houses. We were assigned to the south side of the Yangtze River.

There is a large farm in Shandong, a large farm in Shandong, and other scattered small farms around the capital. There is also a small house on the Shichahai Sea, which is used to cool off in the summer, but it is rented out right now.

I know that one of my colleagues also owns a house nearby. In the summer, he invited us to have a drink there. It is a very quiet and nice place. I heard from my second brother that the lease of this house will be full by the end of the year. Let's take it back.

After that, I simply stopped renting it out. When next summer, my parents can go there to cool off. I will also stay there for a few days. It is close to the palace gate, and it is very cheap for me to work in the palace. "

"It's up to you." Mrs. Niu said, and then complained to Qin Hanzhen's husband, "In addition to these fields and real estate, there are also some shops, workshops and so on. Your grandfather is really a scholar, and he doesn't want those who can

Good industries for making money include small workshops such as papermaking, book printing, porcelain making, and silk and cloth weaving. In fact, they make things for themselves and do not do business at all. The eldest brother and the second brother fight for money.

Valuable properties such as silver buildings and restaurants almost broke my head. When I look back and see your grandfather making a fool of himself, I'm so happy!"

Qin Hanzhen was surprised and looked at his grandfather funny: "Why do you want those workshops?"

Qin Bai said lightly: "It was our family's old property. The eldest brother had no intention of running it and almost abandoned it. The second house didn't like it even more. If I don't take it, will it really be possible for those old guys and craftsmen to do it?

Will it survive on its own?"

It turns out that most of those small workshops were established one after another after Mrs. Ye married into the Qin family. The purpose was not to make money. Except for the printing shop, which printed Buddhist scriptures for the ladies to distribute to the poor, the rest of the workshops were for the purpose of giving money to the poor.

The masters of the Qin family provide daily necessities that are unique to the family. Mrs. Ye comes from a scholarly family, has taste and style, and after marrying, she has money and a backer, so she can pay attention to food, clothing, housing and transportation. In terms of food and clothing for her family,

Careful. At that time, the tea sets, tableware, stationery supplies, and clothing materials of the Yongjia Marquis Mansion were all well-known in Beijing. After the Qin family was confiscated, these properties and the attached craftsmen completely fell into the hands of others.

They served the new master instead, and it was not until the Qin family revolted and the new emperor issued an order that they returned to the Qin family's hands.

It's just that at this time, no one in the head of the Qin family was interested in running these workshops. Xu's own shops and workshops did not attach much importance to them. Nowadays, the craftsmen in the workshops are getting older, and the skills of the younger generation cannot match theirs.

As time went on, the workshop became even more degraded.

Qin Bai remembered how much effort his mother, Mrs. Ye, had put into finding craftsmen to set up a workshop, and couldn't bear to see the workshop disbanded, so he got them. Anyway, neither the eldest brother nor the second wife was interested in them.

After Qin Bai explained the whole story to his wife, son and granddaughter, he sighed: "There are still several old craftsmen from those days who are still strong and can work for another ten or eight years at any time. I have been used to it since I was a child.

The things they built have not been used for many years, and now they finally have another chance."

Qin Hanzhen suddenly realized it and said with a smile: "Things that are unique to our family are quite special when you think about it. Grandpa is free, why not design what tea sets and tableware our family will burn in the future. Grandma can also design the tea sets and tableware that our family will burn in the future.

Describe the color and pattern of the fabric you want and ask the people in the workshop to weave it. If your grandfather has a masterpiece, he will have it printed in a book printing workshop. All relatives and friends will send a copy, and then donate to various academies.

Spread your reputation as a great scholar!"

Qin Ping hurriedly agreed: "Father is used to being a teacher, so he can teach a few students in Beijing." Qin Bai laughed loudly, stroking his hands and said: "This is a good idea, but it makes me look a little thick-skinned, like a king."

My mother-in-law is selling melons, and she is selling herself and boasting."

Qin Hanzhen said with a smile: "This is not called boasting, this is called reasonable publicity. Who doesn't shout about good things? My grandfather is a man of great knowledge. If your knowledge is known to others, it can also increase the knowledge of other scholars.

We are doing a good deed!”

Qin Bai laughed even louder.

Niu rolled her eyes at her husband, turned to Qin Hanzhen and said: "There are several workshops, just for me to have fun when I have nothing to do? It's really luxurious. If you have this kind of time, you might as well get a few more Zhuangzi

, and we can harvest more grain every year. Your grandfather has the temperament of a young master from a wealthy family, and is different from the temperament of a young man from a small family like us!"

Qin Ping laughed when he heard this: "Mother, we are from the same family as our father. We are no longer a small family."

Mrs. Niu also rolled her eyes at her son: "Nonsense! Who doesn't know that we, mother and son, come from a small family? Your eldest aunt and your father both come from wealthy families."

This conversation was not very nutritious, and Qin Hanzhen did not participate in it. She asked Qin Ping: "Dad, you came back from the palace early this morning, right? Do you know the latest news in the palace? I mean

, about the second young master of Prince Liao’s palace?”

"How did you know? Has the news spread to your family?" Qin Ping was a little surprised before he had time to talk to his parents about the matter. "It has spread all over the court, saying that the second son of the Prince of Liao is true this time.

No matter what, I will be imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion for two years at least, and I will never want to be the crown prince of the Liao King in the future. The Liao King was very angry. Every time he met the Shu King, his nose was not a nose, and his eyes were not eyes.

"

Qin Ping paused for a moment: "I heard them privately saying that what happened to the Prince of Liao's Mansion this time was the result of a black case filed by the Prince of Shu's Mansion."
