57,——The fourth cannon fodder——(1/2)
"Duoshou is also your grandson, the son of the husband. Why don't you agree with him taking over the Jinjin Hao now? If Duofu was still here, I would definitely not let Duoshou take over. Duoshou is also a child of the Jin family. Do you want to
He watched his family's business being destroyed bit by bit and did nothing, right?"
Faced with Ding Laixi's question, Mrs. Tai's eyes couldn't help but dodge. She also knew that she was partial to Jin Duofu, but who made him the eldest grandson? "I don't care, in short, Jin Duofu is Duofu, you
I said before that I would hand over the business to Duofu, but you can't let Duoshou take over just because he's not around now."
"Then what do you think I should do, mother-in-law? Are you just going to watch the Gold Appraisal being absorbed by other gold accounts and do nothing? When Duofu comes back, let alone take over the Gold Appraisal, collect the corpses for us.
!" What Ding Laixi said is not unreasonable. She only thinks about the Jin family and the Jin Hao, but now she is considered to be trying to do something villainous.
"Then let Duoshou sign a guarantee letter, promising to return the gold identification number to Duofu when he comes back."
"We won't sign it." Ding Laixi said without thinking. The two of them had no intention of getting the gold number, but if they signed the guarantee letter now, it would not be that simple.
Since they didn't intend to ask for it, there was no need to sign a guarantee.
Ding Laixi thought so, but Mrs. Jin didn't think so anymore. Her chest suddenly heaved with anger, "Okay, I also said that you two have no ambitions. If you don't have ambitions, will you not even be willing to write a guarantee letter? I see.
You two just want to take advantage of Duofu's absence, Duolu's illness, and my old age and frailty to satisfy your wolfish ambitions."
"Mother-in-law, I didn't mean that." Ding Laixi was no longer angry now. "If you sign the guarantee, you must alert the officials. By then, everyone will know that our Jin family is at odds. What our husband wanted to see most before his death was
The Jin family is together with Meimei, and I will never let something like this happen."
After Ding Laixi finished speaking, she went out and came to the ancestral hall alone, kneeling in front of her husband. Only now did she realize that her weight in this family was far less important than she thought.
After working for the Jin family for so many years, and then still being an outsider, and now being forced to sign some kind of guarantee, is this something that a family can do?
"Mom..." There was also a person kneeling on the futon next to her. Jin Duoshou said worriedly. The mother and son had always been cautious in the Jin family.
When he was a child, his mother often told him that the gold medal belonged to his eldest brother and asked him to go to the temple to learn martial arts. However, he was not the material to learn martial arts at all. Even though he had shown his talent in business when he was a child, he was still sent away.
After being away from home for so many years, he couldn't come back when he missed his mother. Now that he is back, what his mother has been worried about for so many years has still happened.
"Duoshou, have you ever complained about your mother?" Ding Laixi's voice was a little hoarse, and if you listen carefully you can still hear a heavy nasal sound. It was obvious that she had just cried.
Jin Duoshou shook his head, "No, I have never complained about my mother. I know you also want our Jin family to be peaceful and not have so many troubles."
"But it still exists now."
"Mom, we didn't originally want Jianjinhao, so we just signed the guarantee letter according to grandma's wishes. Let Jianjinhao get through the difficulties first, okay?"
Ding Laixi looked at Jin Duoshou in surprise, "Duoshou, mother is afraid that you will be wronged."
After signing the guarantee, you have to go to the government to get justice. By then, everyone will know about the Jin family, and it will be inevitable to point fingers at Jin Duoshou.
"Mom, I'm not afraid of grievances. I'm a descendant of the Jin family. If I'm aggrieved now, it's worth it to be able to keep the Jin family's family business for so many years. What's more, this can also make grandma feel at ease, and she won't make things difficult for you in the future.
Already."
"What a long life!" Ding Laixi's tears burst out from her eyes, and she had mixed feelings in her heart. She was really pleased that her son had really grown up and was now able to think about her.
Jin Duoshou smiled and said nothing. He just did what a child should do, which was strange.
Jianjinhao reopened after being closed for a few days. Jin Duoshou thought of a lot of discount activities and prepared to bring back some regular customers in the first few days of reopening. However, he did not expect that on the day of reopening, Jin Duofu came back.
Because Jin Duofu and Xiaoyu were leaving in a hurry, they couldn't take the antiques or anything with them. They could only take some jewelry and banknotes with them. However, both of them were used to eating, drinking and enjoying themselves. They didn't know how to save at all. Soon
Two people spent the money.
I had no choice but to return to the capital with a small amount of money. As soon as I arrived in the capital, I learned the news that the Gold Appraisal had been reopened, and that the new shopkeeper was Jin Duoshou, the third young master of the Jin family.
Jin Duofu and Xiaoyu were of course very unhappy. When they arrived at the door of Jianjin No., they saw Jin Duoshou greeting guests at the door. It was supposed to be his property, but now it was taken away while he was away.
These should all belong to him.
You can guess what happened next. Jin Duofu made a big fuss about the reopened gold appraisal account. Ding Laixi was originally staying in Jin's house, but a servant came to report that Jin Duofu was back.
Now there is a quarrel on the Jianjin account.
Ding Laixi only felt endless fatigue. Jin Duofu was back at this time. She could guess what he wanted to do and what he would do next. Mother and son were also human beings and had feelings. Could it be because of her?
She is a second wife, and Duoshou is a concubine, so should she do everything she wants?
Things come and go quickly.
The gold appraisal number was handed over to Jin Duofu, and a series of activities planned by Jin Duoshou were rejected by Jin Duofu.
The Jin family also split up, Ding Laixi and Jin Duoshou separated. They were preparing to leave the capital and live a new life in Ding Laixi's hometown.
On the day Jin Duoshou and Ding Laixi left the Jin family, no one from the Jin family came out to see them off. When they walked to the outskirts of the city, Ah Si chased them.
"Ah Si, now you are the only one willing to come and see me and my mother off."
"Third Young Master, actually I'm not here to see you off. I'm no longer working in the princess's mansion. I want to go with you."
"Ah Si, you..." Jin Duoshou sighed, "Ah Si, do you know how we are going to live in the future? Neither my mother nor I can guarantee our survival, so we don't care about you at all."
"I'm not afraid. I am a person who survived the plague village. My life is very tough. Third young master and madam, just let Ah Si follow you!"
Ding Laixi smiled and said, "What a long life. Let Ah Si follow us. We will have someone to take care of us when we are together."
"Thank you, madam! Thank you, Third Young Master."
"Ah Si, please don't call me the third young master when we are together from now on. I am no longer the third young master of the Jin family. From now on, just call me Duoshou."
"Well done! Longevity!"
Ding Laixi looked at the two people walking on both sides of her and smiled. She had not smiled like this for a long time, and her life would get better and better in the future.
After arriving at Ding Laixi's hometown, Jin Duoshou and Ah Si got married, and they reopened a gold shop. Their lives were not that rich, but they were still relatively prosperous.
They live a happy life, but Jin Duofu is not so lucky.
Jin Duofu is not good at doing business at all. Although Jianjin Hao has reopened, its reputation and style cannot keep up with other Jinhao. In addition, Jin Duofu does not have the integrity that a businessman should have, and he only steals a lot of money when making jewelry.
Two, the wages given to workers are also very little.
Gradually, the business declined. In addition, the Jin family had Jin Duolu, a medicine jar, and Mrs. Jin, an old man who needed to be taken care of. Gradually, they were unable to make ends meet.
But even so, they have no choice. All choices are their own, and they can't blame anyone.
Taomi doesn't know anything about the Jin family. Zhaoyang rarely appears in front of her recently, let alone a member of the Jin family.
Recently, the Tufan envoy came to visit, and Taizong was greeting him!
Originally, the visit of the Tufan envoy was not a big deal. As long as the reception was well done and the glory and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty was shown, Taomi recently received news from the organization that many Turks were pouring into the capital. They were not known as Turks.
Those who enter Beijing as Han people wear Han clothes and enter Beijing as Han people.
Today, on the streets of Beijing, there are many Turks disguised as Han people walking around every day. Now even Zhao Hong has noticed that something is wrong.
"Yonghe, do you think those people are Turks?" Zhao Hong was very surprised now. If dozens of Turks came to the capital to do business, that would make sense, but according to his estimate, there were hundreds of them anyway.
Yes.
"Well, otherwise, why would there be so many people who are worse than Chu'er in the Central Plains?"
"But, so many Turks came to the capital together and disguised their identities and said they were from the Central Plains. What do they want to do?" Many of his shops have been patronized by Turks recently. It seems that those people don't know.
The shops they went to all belonged to him, and he looked at things unscrupulously, especially those weapons shops.
Weapons shop? Turks buy weapons?
Thinking of this, Zhao Hong was shocked, "Yonghe, why do you think they bought weapons?"
"Weapons and weapons, the weapons used by soldiers, of course they buy them for the soldiers to fight?" Taomi said with a smile. The Turks are thousands of miles away from here, and the weapons are so heavy. It is not only difficult to transport weapons from the Turks.
It's easy and very eye-catching. The best way is of course to buy it here.
"Yonghe!" Zhao Hong stood up suddenly, eyes wide open. Did he mean what he thought?
Taomi gave Zhao Hong a reassuring look and said, "What are you doing so loudly? You'll wake up Chu'er." She patted Zhao Chu who had some reaction because of Zhao Hong.
Zhao Hong sat down again, but his mind was shocked after all, "Yonghe, let's go and tell our father quickly. There are a lot of Turks coming this time. We should make preparations in advance."
"Father, he is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. He has been in charge of the government for decades, and the capital is at the feet of the emperor. Do you think there is something that he doesn't know about?"
"What?" Zhao Hong was confused for a moment after hearing what Taomi said, and then he smiled and said, "It seems that I am worrying in vain. My father is so far-sighted, how could he not even know about such a trivial matter.
The Turks are just a small barbarian country, how can they be our rivals in the Tang Dynasty?"
Seeing how confident Zhao Hong was now, Taomi just smiled and said nothing. After all, confidence cannot be undermined.
She told Taizong as early as when Xin'er reported it to her. Of course, she didn't tell her where she came from. She only said that she had discovered the Turks who were swarming into the capital in disguise. To say too much would be too much.
In the past few years, the Turks have always been a bit aggressive, and they were unwilling to pay tribute. Taizong saw this, and now Taizong also guessed that a critical moment had come.
Yu Wenjie arrived in the capital and looked at the prosperous Chang'an City. His ambition was once again aroused. He wanted not only to be the king of the small Turkic country, but also to be the king of this big country. These prosperity dazzled him.
Soon, these will all be hers.
Looking at the letters submitted by the people below, Yu Wenjie showed a smile that was determined to win. You defeated the Tang Dynasty, and I can defeat you now.
Now Yu Wenjie is still here dreaming about the day when he will become the monarch of the Tang Dynasty. He has no idea that the people he sent to buy weapons are too stupid and have already been found out. Now he is the only one who has not shown his face as the mastermind behind the scenes.
Yu Wenjie speaks Chinese very well, plus he has a nice face and is very cautious. After coming to the capital, his contact with the Turks was only through correspondence. To outsiders, he looked like he was just doing business in the capital.
Look.
But it was the letters they exchanged that Taomi saw for clues, and she found Yu Wenjie, the mastermind behind it.
Looking at the report handed over by Xin'er, I didn't expect that the Turks' wolf ambitions had started so early. Luo Yuandao, the Shaofu Supervisor, has been an official in Beijing for more than ten years. He manages the Shaofu Supervisor very well and is a good person.
