People from Sihai Trading Company came to report that the ship had sunk, and both Taihe and Shunfa had sunk.
Now the people in the trading house are in chaos. Some old shareholders couldn't bear the bad news and led their people to make trouble. The old man of the Song family who was in charge of Sihai Trading Company was so furious that he fell into a coma and still hasn't woken up.
According to the contract signed before, Sihai Trading Company did not have to lose money. But that was when it was making money. Now the merchant ship has lost money, which is more than one million taels, so many people have acted rogue.
When Prince An found out, he couldn't breathe and almost rolled his eyes. He was counting on the money to turn over. Seeing that the money was gone, he felt that vomiting blood was a minor thing now.
"Go to the Song family. I don't care what methods they use. If you don't make up for my money, I will kill his whole family!!"
"What kind of contract? If you make money, I will accept it!! But now the ship has sunk, I only want my money, no one can plead for me!"
Prince An was determined to get the money, so the servants of the Song family had no choice but to go back and report. However, before the charter was produced, Mr. Song passed away.
The Song family first compensated the funeral expenses and pensions of the crew members' families, and other investors and investors did not pay any compensation. If the trouble was serious, they would report it to the officials.
The Song family is also a well-known family in Guangzhou, and has an in-law relationship with the government, so it can be regarded as preserving the past.
But Prince An refused to comply, and the local government did not dare to offend him. The matter was at a stalemate for a while, and the Song family also had several life-related lawsuits.
The huge century-old family was about to fall. Mrs. Song immediately asked her eldest grandson Song Muting to go to Wuxi to seek help from Ji Yunwei.
Song Muting, Ji Yunwei, and Lu Yunhong were all classmates, but neither Song Muting nor Ji Yunwei wanted to become officials and chose to be businessmen, so their relationship was particularly close. When Taihe was going to sea before, it was Song Muting who contacted Ji Yunwei. Although now Taihe
It sank, but Song Muting knew it was an accident, and Ji Yunwei would not argue with him.
At present, Prince An is pressing too hard, and several members of the Song family have died. The old lady is worried about his safety. On the surface, she says she is asking him to come for help, but in fact, she is asking him to come out to avoid trouble.
Therefore, when he left home, Mrs. Song's letter to Ji Yunwei and Lu Yunhong had already been sent out first. Before Song Muting arrived in Wuxi, Ji Yunwei and Lu Yunhong already knew about it.
Ji Yunwei said angrily: "Prince An is too arrogant. In business, there are always profits and losses. It's because he is so arrogant that he insists on eating a whole load of goods, otherwise he would not have suffered such serious losses."
When Lu Yunhong heard this, he said calmly: "If Prince An wants to ascend to the throne, he naturally needs money to support him. Now that he has been demoted to the throne, he is not getting angry. The Song family has bumped into him."
Ji Yunwei probed: "Yunhong, what happened to the Song family in your dream?"
Lu Yunhong shook his head: "In my dream, you lost the money, but you didn't pursue it and still did business with the Song family. Later, Song Muting went to sea with you and disappeared together."
"The Song family finally decided to become officials and found me. I took Song Muting's two younger brothers as students and helped them become officials."
Ji Yunwei felt even more sad after hearing this.
He and Song Muting, they died together in the end, so now they can't just sit back and watch.
Ji Yunwei said: "I want to go to Guangzhou."
Lu Yunhong said: "Don't worry yet, I have a solution for this matter."
Ji Yunwei said in surprise: "That's hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, what can you do?"
Lu Yunhong said: "After this incident, the Song family will definitely be hit hard. It is impossible to continue to do the shipping business. It is better to take the opportunity to clean up and let the children of the family gain a good reputation."
"I will write to Mrs. Song and tell her to promise Prince An first, but the money must be paid in installments. If I give her ten thousand taels a month, she will slowly sell off her property and pay it back. If she takes out so much at once, what will happen outside?
If the news leaks out, she won't pay back. Prince An will definitely agree if he wants money, otherwise the fish will die and the net will be broken, and he will get nothing."
Ji Yunwei said nervously: "But it's still only 120,000 taels a year. I'm afraid the Song family won't be able to bear it now."
Lu Yunhong nodded and said: "I know. If you want them to repay a sum, they must ask Prince An to write a receipt and stamp it with the seal of Prince An's palace. I will ask Prince An to spit out the money within three months at most."
Come out and never dare to mention repaying the money again."
Ji Yunwei didn't know what Lu Yunhong was going to do, but when he saw Lu Yunhong's confident look, he felt at ease.
He patted Lu Yunhong on the shoulder and said: "I was afraid before that you wouldn't fish me out if I went to jail. Come to think of it, I really have a villainous heart. Yunhong, don't worry, I will definitely hang out with you in the future and never do it again."
I doubt you."
Lu Yunhong glanced at him sideways and said disgustedly: "If you go to prison, I will give you a roll of straw mat!"
Ji Yunwei asked innocently: "Why is it a straw mat?"
Lu Yunhong sneered: "It's for you to wrap your body in!"
Ji Yunwei: "..."!!
…
It’s late July, and autumn is just around the corner.
Fengqi Academy still has classes as usual, but the students who participated in Qiuwei went to take the exam early.
After Wang Xiu slept in darkness for a few days, she later realized that she might be pregnant. She took her own pulse and found that she was indeed pregnant. However, the month was still young, so she didn't say anything and only waited until August 15th.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the family will celebrate the festival and then tell them.
Lu Yunhong didn't hear her voice, he just saw her laziness and lack of energy, thinking that the weather was hot and she didn't like to move.
On the first day of August, Qian Liangcai came over very happily and said, "Grandma, Qian Yunrou finally took action."
"I saw the doll she buried in the soil, with my grandma's name written on it, but the birth date didn't match."
When Wang Xiu heard this, he immediately said: "Great, I just want to rest at home for a few days. This time is just right."
After saying that, he continued to say to Qian Liangcai: "From tomorrow on, I will tell the outside world that I am unwell. Don't tell me the specific reasons. Then I will send someone to monitor her closely."
Qian Liangcai knew that Qian Yunrou's matter was coming to an end, so he was particularly motivated to run. Because the people below had complained to him several times, saying that Qian Yunrou coveted the uncle and dreamed of becoming a grandma all day long.
Don't know what it means.
Qian Liangcai was a slave of the Wang family, and he loved Wang Xiu the most. After hearing these words, he had long wanted to punish Qian Yunrou severely, but unfortunately he never had the chance.
But don't worry now, because the opportunity is right in front of you.
Early the next morning, news spread that Wang Xiu was ill.
An hour later, Ms. Chen came to Xiuli Villa to take care of Wang Xiu. Seeing her mother-in-law taking care of her by the bedside, Wang Xiu felt very sorry. But seeing her mother-in-law treating her so sincerely, Wang Xiu almost told her about her pregnancy.
come out.
But at this moment, the eldest princess came.
Wang Xiu couldn't lie still anymore and hurriedly tried to sit up.
Mrs. Chen was worried about her health, so she asked her to lie down and not move. The eldest princess came directly in. When she saw Wang Xiu getting up, she quickly held her down and didn't move.
The eldest princess said: "You have taken care of me and An Nian for so long, why are you being polite to me now?"
After saying that, he asked again: "Have you invited a doctor to see if you have any? What did you say?"
Under the concerned eyes of the eldest princess and her mother-in-law, Wang Xiu lowered his head in embarrassment and whispered: "I'm not sick, I'm pregnant."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a moderate exclamation in the room.
Mrs. Chen stood up in a daze, her eyes widened, and she was instantly overjoyed.
"Oh my God, why didn't you girl tell me what happened when?"
"What do you want to eat? What do you want to drink? Do you want something sour? Mom asked them to go to the street to buy it!"
Wang Xiu quickly held her hand and said: "Mom, please stop being busy, I don't want to eat anything. I just found out about it yesterday. The month is still young. I originally wanted to wait until the Mid-Autumn Festival to tell you."
Mrs. Chen said excitedly: "That's great, just get pregnant. Yue Qian needs to be taken good care of."
"You should have a good rest first, and Mom will go get you something to eat."
After Mrs. Chen finished speaking, she left in a hurry. Looking at the way she left, she was smiling so hard that she couldn't close her mouth. She was probably going out to report the news.
Wang Xiu didn't stop her. She originally wanted to hide it, but now it seems that she is really not good at creating surprises for people.
