As soon as I walked in, I saw Gu Fuchang sitting on a chair smoking a hookah.
Liu Yong bowed his hands and said: Good morning, Eunuch Gu.
When Gu Fuchang saw Liu Yong come in, he put down his hookah, stood up and said, "Nephew Liu Xian is a very busy man now, and it is difficult to get together in a humble house. Please take a seat."
Liu Yong sat down on the chair next to him and said with a smile, "Young people come here uninvited. I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. If you need anything, please ask me."
Gu Fuchang smiled and said: There is no such thing as asking for help, just say it.
Liu Yong said with embarrassment: In front of the seniors, I will tell you the truth. Our bank recently booked a batch of next year's spring cocoons from some farmers in Jili Village. I also want to build a cocoon station and silk factory, but I am a little short of funds, so I thought
I borrowed 50 taels of silver from your old Yi Zhuang, and I will return it immediately after the spring silk is sold.
When Gu Fuchang heard that Liu Yong had booked next year's spring cocoon in Jili Village, he was surprised and asked: You have booked next year's spring cocoon, are you serious?
Liu Yong smiled and said: How dare you joke in front of your seniors.
Gu Fuchang shook his head and said: The wise nephew's strategy is indeed superhuman, but he is intimidating and intimidating.
Liu Yong said embarrassedly: I am a newborn calf, not afraid of tigers, but when it grows horns, I will be afraid of wolves. I will need guidance from my seniors in the future.
Gu Fuchang smiled and said: The world should belong to young people, you are young and promising. If you are old and old, you will live in a low life. If you have no problem with funds, just go to Yizhuang to get it.
Liu Yong bowed his hands to express his gratitude.
Liu Yong went directly to Gujiayizhuang, took the banknote and went home.
After returning home, Liu Yong said a few words to his parents and then went to Yu Hui's room. As soon as he entered the door, he said: I have to go to Jili Village today to see about the construction of a cocoon station and a silk factory. In the afternoon
Just come back.
Yu Hui said distressedly, "Seeing that you are busy all day long, you have to walk dozens of miles back and forth every day, which is quite tiring."
Liu Yong smiled and said: If you don't endure hardship, how can you have sweetness? Then he said: Miss Hong Ying promised to come over today. When she comes later, we will arrange for her to live with you and accompany you.
Yu Hui smiled and said: What about you?
Liu Yong said: I will live in the next room.
Yu Hui said, "Let's talk about it then. You should leave early and come back early."
Liu Yong said goodbye to his wife Yu Hui and was about to go out when he saw Song Hongying coming in carrying a package.
As soon as Song Hongying saw Liu Yong, he said: I'm coming to Liu Yong's house.
Liu Yong smiled and said: OK, come in, come in. Then he shouted: Dad, Mom, A Hui, Miss Hong Ying is here.
As soon as they heard that Miss Hong Ying was coming, Liu Huanzhang, his wife, and Yu Hui came out one after another.
Liu Yong introduced Song Hongying one by one.
Song Hongying put down the package, walked up to Liu Huanzhang and his wife, and said shyly: The little girl would like to say hello to the master and the old lady. Then, he went to Yu Hui and said: My wife is happy, and the little girl Hongying is now polite.
Yu Hui saw that the girl in front of her was pretty and pretty, and she liked being called "ma'am" for the first time. She quickly said: "We are about the same age, so it would be better to call me sister from now on."
Liu Yong said: I want Miss Hong Ying to live with Ah Hui and keep her company, so that she can take care of her.
Liu Yongniang also expressed her satisfaction, and then said: Miss Hongying will be responsible for Ah Hui's food and daily life, and sister-in-law Lianying will take care of the rest.
Song Hongying said with a smile: That's it for now, wait for my wife to finish her confinement and make other arrangements. I can't always occupy the latrine and not shit.
One sentence made Yu Hui blush. She felt that this girl Hong Ying was a little considerate, which she liked very much.
After the negotiation was concluded, Liu Yong went out and hurried to Jili Village.
Liu Yong ate the winter festival dumplings and hurried on the road. Along the way, he saw many silkworm farmers carefully cultivating mulberry trees, and some even took the initiative to say hello to Liu Yong: Hello, Boss Liu!
"Boss Liu, come here now."
Liu Yong answered one by one.
When they arrived at Song Hongsheng's house, Song Hongsheng hurriedly came out to greet him.
Song Hongsheng said: Boss Liu is here at this time, what are you doing? He must not have eaten yet?
Liu Yong said: Don't be busy. I have already eaten. In addition, your sister has arrived at my house, please don't worry.
Song Hongsheng's mother also came out. While pouring tea for Liu Yong, she thanked him profusely and said: My ancestors have accumulated good deeds and met a noble person.
Liu Yong sat down and said to Song Hongsheng: I have something important to discuss with you this time.
Song Hongsheng said: There is no need to discuss anything. If you have anything to do, just ask Boss Liu.
Liu Yong said: After I go back, I will discuss with several shareholders and plan to build a cocoon station and silk factory in your Jili Village.
It is relatively close to here, and there are many silkworm farmers there, so it is convenient for them. In this way, when the spring cocoon harvest starts next year, we will go directly to your village.
Song Hongsheng went on to say: Boss Liu’s ideas are superior to others.
Liu Yong went on to say: I want to buy land, and I will entrust you with the full authority to build a house. Even if we hire you and we don’t have enough manpower, you can still find someone else.
Liu Yong smiled and said: I, Liu, know Brother Song very well, so I made such an arrangement to "serve the country with loyalty".
Liu Yong smiled and said: I, Liu, know Brother Song well, so I made such an arrangement.
Song Hongsheng bowed with both hands: Thank you Boss Liu for being so kind.
Song Hongsheng said with a smile: The banknotes cannot be used for the time being. If there is any news in the next few days, I will report it to you immediately.
Song Hongsheng said with a smile: The banknotes cannot be used for the time being. If there is any news in the next few days, I will report it to you immediately.
Liu Yong said: That’s fine.
Liu Yong stood up to say goodbye and returned to Nanxun.
When Liu Yong returned home, it was already time to light the lamp.
Sister-in-law Lianying had already prepared dinner. When she saw Liu Yong coming back, Sister-in-law Lianying hurriedly went to the kitchen to prepare four bowls of rice and put them on the table. Upon seeing this, Liu Yong said: Why eat in one pot, why separate it in two places?
They are all family members, so it is more lively to sit together and eat together.
Sister-in-law Lianying said: You guys eat first, I have another dish that needs to be stir-fried.
Song Hongying also said: We country people don't go to the table, you eat first, and I will eat with Mrs. Lianying later.
Liu Yong smiled and said: Isn’t that ancestor from the country?
Liu Yongniang also said: Anyway, there are only a few people who can sit down and eat together.
Liu Yong looked at Song Hongying and said with a smile: I went to your house again today.
Song Hongying said excitedly: Really? What good things can come from going?
Song Hongying said: That’s great. Again.
Song Hongying said: That’s great.
Song Hongying gave Yu Hui water to wash her feet, and then brought a basin of water for washing her feet to Liu Yong's room next door. He said: After running all day, soaking your feet in hot water will make you feel more relaxed.
Song Hongying gave Yu Hui some washing water and brought a basin of foot washing water to Liu Yong's room next door. He said: After running all day, soaking your feet in hot water will make you feel more relaxed.
Liu Yong smiled and said: You don't have to worry about me here, I can do it by myself. All you need to do is take care of Ah Hui.
Song Hongying said with a smile: We are servants' wives, and we have to take care of our boss. Just tell us what we need to do.
In the next room, Song Hongying made a bed for Yu Hui and placed two Tang women under the quilt.
Yu Hui still insisted on taking matters into her own hands, and Song Hongying said sternly: Madam, this is not a joke. My boss has taken care of me to take good care of you, old lady. I also know that this burden is not light, so I will try to be more thoughtful and responsible for myself.
Yu Hui smiled and said: I am not that pampered. People who have been here say that proper exercise before delivery is good for the birth process.
Song Hongying said: I don't know about this. All I know now is that I can't let you touch me, I can't let you knock me.
Yu Hui smiled and said, "Wouldn't this make me a queen?"
Song Hongying smiled and said: Well, almost.
In the room, Yu Hui was leaning on the bed, and Song Hongying was also leaning on a small bed next to him.
Song Hongying said: Madam, let me ask you, do you want a boy or a girl?
Yu Hui said: From a family perspective, we must continue the family lineage. Everyone likes boys. Actually, I don’t care, as long as the child is healthy. Then he said: Let me tell you, you don’t have to be a wife. In fact, I am better than you.
She's only one year older, but it sounds awkward. I'd rather call her sister to be affectionate.
Song Hongying said with a smile: This is the way the world is. There is an insurmountable gap between master and servant, and they will never be equal.
Yu Hui liked Miss Hong Ying from the bottom of her heart. Then she said: "Eating in the same pot and sleeping in the same room, what's the equality and inequality? I can't control other people's families. You and I are sisters. Besides, I don't have a sister in the first place."
.
Song Hongying said with tears of excitement in his eyes: Your whole family has the heart of a Bodhisattva, and with such magnanimity, you will definitely have great virtues in the future. This chapter has been completed!
