As the sky gradually darkened, the old lady, who had been relatively calm, suddenly became worried.
"Is nothing going to happen to your father and your third uncle?" The old lady didn't dare to say anything about accidents, for fear that good things would not work and bad things would come true!
Ling Jiheng hurriedly comforted her, "No, no, grandma, don't worry. Ling Yiyinbao is experienced and will definitely protect Dad and Third Uncle.
He didn't come back, maybe because the snow was too strong, so he found a nearby inn to rest!
Ling Jiheng's guess was correct. Ling Yi and his companions predicted the weather conditions in advance and stayed in the county town.
Although I am worried about my family, I think that there are so many people at home, so nothing should happen.
On the contrary, it would be more dangerous for them to hold such a large bag of silver.
For this purpose, the six grown men only asked for two rooms, Ling Yi and Ling Si guarded Ling Weicheng, and Yin Bao and Ling Wu guarded Ling Weicun.
The two powerless men of the Ling family were surrounded on the left and right, feeling very safe.
It's just that the bed is a bit crowded and I can't turn over.
The old lady was comforted and stopped worrying about her two sons. Instead, she asked about her good grandson's business today.
Ling Jiheng praised her generously, "Grandma, you don't know how clever my wife is. With just this one idea, she made a net profit of five thousand taels!"
"Oh, so powerful?" The old lady's eyes lit up and she looked at Chi Xingyue with extremely gentle eyes.
"Of course, this is just one day's income. If we sell for a few more days, plus the income from my father and my third uncle, it shouldn't be a problem to break ten thousand."
The old lady nodded, thinking that this grandson's wife was a good choice. The old man was also glad that the Ling family had not fallen into decline under his leadership.
Well, they're all pretty calm.
Come to think of it, as the former richest man in Jiangnan, the number in the account book must have exceeded ten thousand one day.
Although Chi Xingyue made some money, it was just a small amount and could not cause any waves in the business world.
It is said that people cannot earn money beyond their cognition, just like this couplet, which looks simple, but most people just can't think of it.
Once Chi Xingyue starts, there will be people who will study it, but she has already made money. Even if someone enters the market in the future, the price will not be as high as it is this year.
However, the Ling family is very satisfied with the current situation. They have a house, a car and land. They occasionally go out to earn some money and live a happy life.
You no longer have to go through the intrigues of the business world, nor do you have to worry about being exploited by imperial power.
However, it is still necessary to be vigilant. After all, there is no store to cover up, and anyone with an eye can calculate how much money has been earned.
If they were kind-hearted, it would be fine, but they were afraid of those who were poor and jealous and would try to trip them up. They couldn't guard against it.
Ling Jiheng and Chi Xingyue had dinner with the old lady in the house before returning to Qingfengyuan.
Ling Weicheng was not at home today, so the two of them stayed in the east room and talked with Shu Muyun until very late before returning to the west room.
Still worried, he asked Baozhu to go over and keep watch, and call them if anything happened.
Ten people left the Ling family mansion at once, and the desolation was visibly evident.
Of Ling Jiheng's subordinates, only Erzhu, Hongyu, Ling Ba, Ling Jiu and Ling Shi were left.
Not wanting to be careless, he arranged several people to keep watch at night. Even he himself was just slumbering with his eyes closed.
Seeing that he was facing a great enemy, Chi Xingyue didn't ask any other questions and moved out all the real weapons in the police station's armory and placed them in a place where they could be easily reached.
I want to stay up late with him, but I can't resist sleep. It won't be long before I fall asleep.
Qingshan Village is very quiet at night, but the inn is not peaceful at night.
Perhaps someone noticed that he was hiding a huge amount of money, so three groups of thieves came to him in one night.
Fortunately, they were just minor fights and after being beaten up, they ran away in shame.
Ling Weicheng didn't sleep well that night, lamenting that it was not easy for his son and daughter-in-law to make money.
From now on, he should stay at home as the master and leave the business to the next generation.
If Chi Xingyue knew that he was cheating his son like this, he would definitely reduce his food, clothing and other expenses to make him understand that hard work is also a virtue!
Haha, just kidding. As the sky gradually brightened and the voices of vendors could be heard on the road, Ling Weicheng dared to relax his tense nerves and close his eyes to rest for a while.
Ling Yi and Ling Si looked at each other and took turns sleeping.
I've almost sold all the couplets, so I'm going back to Qingshan Village today. I just wonder if there are any more robbers on the way.
After waking up, Chi Xingyue found that there were bruises under Ling Jiheng's eyelids. She didn't disturb him and got out of bed to wash up by herself.
He told everyone in the family to be gentle, and told Shunzi, Qizi and Zhaocai not to be busy with other things during this period, but to focus on their own house first.
Several people nodded quickly and followed the Second Young Lady's instructions.
Erzhu and his friends were originally planning to chop some firewood, sweep the snow, etc., but Chi Xingyue sent them back to their rooms to sleep.
Shunzi and his friends took the snow off the roof, and Xiaohe, Qinglu and Xing'er helped sweep it to the corner. The rest would be dealt with after Jinbao and the others came back.
The old lady could sense the tension in the family. She asked Chi Xingyue, but was comforted: "It's okay, grandma. We just feel that there are not enough servants and we are a little overwhelmed. Let them rest for a few days before they start!"
The old lady didn't believe it, but she couldn't pry her mouth open.
Helplessly, he could only nod and tell Chi Xingyue to buy it when he found a suitable one.
If you feel uneasy about keeping it by your side, you can also leave it to clean the backyard.
Chi Xingyue agreed and felt that the family could use some more people.
However, we still need to study when to add and what to add.
After settling the old lady, Chi Xingyue went to get busy.
There is so much business, I can't give up.
Without Erzhu and the others' help, Chi Xingyue had to cut the paper by himself.
Brothers Ling Jiren, Ling Jiyi and Ling Jihao took up their pens and wrote with such grace and precision.
He was busy until mid-afternoon before he finished taking care of the shares requested by several wealthy families and the Liu family study.
Ling Jihao collapsed in his chair and complained, "I'm not going to write anymore. I'm not going to write anymore. I've written more words in the past two days than I did in a whole year when I was in school."
Chi Xingyue chuckled: "Are you the naughty one, always skipping classes and not doing homework?"
Ling Jihao suddenly sat up from his chair and asked curiously, "Second sister-in-law, how did you know?"
Chi Xingyue thought to himself, what kind of students have we not seen in later generations? People like Ling Jihao are considered good kids.
If you don't believe me, just look at how beautiful the calligraphy is. Compared to hers, it's simply overwhelming.
Chi Xingyue touched his nose and made tea for the others. He used the fine tea worth one or two thousand gold coins that he brought from Jiangning Prefecture and added some spiritual spring water.
The aroma of tea filled the air, but Ling Jihao and his friends wanted to eat apple pie more.
Chi Xingyue had no choice but to bake tiger skin cake for them. As for the apple pie, she had to wait until Ling San came back to make it as promised.
The group of people made noise like this until midnight before going home.
The wind and snow outside the window seemed to have stopped a little. After Chi Xingyue took Ling Jiheng to the bathroom in the space to wash up, they lay down on the warm kang and prepared to sleep.
Ling Jiheng felt a little dazed as he once again experienced modern technology. His fingers stroked Chi Xingyue's delicate waist, but his mind was focused on the outside and he didn't dare to relax at all.
