NOVEL NEXT Chapter 454 Identity is not simple
The two made a fool of themselves, and Jiang Mingyue didn't leave the room until noon. Only in the afternoon did she have time to talk to her father properly.
"Dad, what's going on at home now? Are the clansmen okay?"
"During this period, our shops have reopened one after another. Because of Zhang Zhongyue, those customers who no longer had contact with us came back to place a lot of orders. And because of Xiao Yuan, the business has dropped sharply. It was better before, and Dad is confident that by the end of this year, our business will be back to its previous size, and maybe it can even get to the next level."
Jiang Mingyue smiled when she heard this: "That's great, but although business is important, father and mother should not work too hard. There is always endless money to be made, and we need to get more rest on weekdays."
Jiang Wen heard this and said cheerfully: "Your mother and I know that we were discussing when we were on Crucian Carp Island a few days ago that the porcelain business will be slowly handed over to Brother Feng. What do you think?"
Jiang Mingyue nodded heavily.
"My eldest brother is the most suitable person. Not only does he have a talent for business, but he also likes doing business and is good at employing people. I believe he will be able to take care of our business."
"Then I will find a time to hand over all the business at home to him, and then you will come back to help him take care of things."
Jiang Mingyue said 'ok' and asked, "Dad and mother are planning to divide the business?"
"Well, from now on, your eldest brother will be solely responsible for running the porcelain business. Your aunt and I will lead a small group of clan members to run the business on Crucian Carp Island. I have a hunch that the key to whether our family can go further lies in Crucian Carp Island."
Jiang Mingyue nodded and reminded her father a few words.
"Dad, we can recruit some water barbarians, and we can also intermarry with them."
Jiang Wen glanced outside and whispered: "Xiao Yuan has reminded me before, and Dad knows it well."
He paused and whispered: "The reason why your mother didn't come back this time is because there were a lot of things going on on Crucian Carp Island and she really couldn't leave. Also, a few days ago, when your mother and others went out to fish on the island, they rescued A water barbarian girl, she is seriously injured and needs your mother to take care of her personally."
Jiang Mingyue became interested after hearing this.
"What exactly happened?"
"The water barbarian girl was surrounded by several people of her own race and fell into the sea. Those people probably thought that she was bound to die, so they paddled away on a bamboo raft without going into the water to check.
After they all left, your mother rescued her. According to your mother's and my inference, the identity of the water barbarian girl should not be simple, because her skin was whiter, the fabric she wore was better, and the calluses on her palms were not that simple. Not thick. "
Jiang Mingyue nodded.
"It's better not to let others know about the water barbarian girl for the time being."
"Your mother and I have the same plan."
"What's the situation on Crucian Carp Island now?" Jiang Mingyue asked curiously.
"It's very lively. Everyone is taking the time to build shops, restaurants, inns, etc. Recently, water barbarians have frequently come to the island to exchange things with us."
"What did our house build?"
"Taverns, restaurants, and a small jewelry shop sell some jewelry, needlework, clothes, toys that children like, etc."
Jiang Mingyue nodded and took out a brocade box and handed it to her father and said, "It's time to spend money these days. There are fifty thousand taels here. Dad will take it and use it first. If it's not enough, tell me again."
Jiang Wen was not polite to his daughter, but his son-in-law was an official in the court and could not do business as a merchant. It was the time to spend money on grapes and dumplings. In addition, money was needed for daily human relations. Jiang Wen thought for a while and said: " Just give me thirty thousand taels, and you can keep the rest for your expenses."
Jiang Mingyue stuffed the brocade box directly into her father's hand.
"Dad, take it! My husband-in-law and I still have money in our hands, and my husband-in-law's salary is quite large, which is enough for our family of four."
Jiang Wen held the brocade box: "Are you really rich?"
Jiang Mingyue smiled and nodded.
"Sure, I'll treat this money as a shareholding for you and your son-in-law."
It is indeed a time to spend money recently, and the money from his daughter can solve his urgent need.
"it is good!"
Jiang Mingyue then took out another small bundle and handed it to her father.
"My little brother asked me to give this to you and my mother-in-law."
Jiang Wen opened the bag and smiled when he looked at the contents.
"It's hard for him to remember that I like to plate walnuts. He probably put a lot of effort into finding such a pair of walnuts."
Jiang Mingyue watched her father plate up the walnuts and said warmly: "Walnuts of this quality used to take a lot of effort for my brother, but it's different now. My brother is a scholar, and a scholar wants to find something." , much simpler.”
Jiang Wen laughed after hearing this.
"Yes, your brother is now a scholar, and our Lao Jiang family has also produced a scholar."
He paused and asked, "Is your brother okay in the academy? Speaking of which, I haven't written to him for two months. When he writes to me, he always reports good news but not bad news."
"Because of Shen Yu, my younger brother entered Class A. In the first quarterly exam, my younger brother's grades were not good and he was second to last. However, my younger brother worked hard and with Shen Yu's help, he made progress in the annual exam. He improved by four places during the quarterly examination in March. Now he has fully adapted to the life in the academy. As long as he perseveres, he will definitely be on the list in two years."
Jiang Wen was so happy.
"Good! Good!"
The father and daughter chatted all afternoon. It was not until dark that they stopped talking and had dinner with everyone.
The next day, early in the morning, Xie Yuan sent his wife, children, and father-in-law to Jiangjiazhuang. He made an appointment with his wife and daughter to pick them up in the afternoon, and then returned to Yuanjiang Mansion.
Jiang Mingyue returned to Jiangjiazhuang after four years of absence. It was a lot of fun. Unfortunately, most of the clan members were outside and not in the village. Jiang Mingyue did not see many of them. Although she felt a little regretful, it did not affect her good mood. There would always be a chance to get together in the future.
At dusk, Jiang Mingyue returned to Yuanjiang Mansion with her two children under the watch of the clan members. As for her father, he had something to deal with and returned to Crucian Carp Island at noon.
In the carriage, Xie Yuan looked at Putao and Tuanzi, who were obviously a little tired. He held them in his arms one by one, looked at his wife and asked gently: "Do you have any other plans for tomorrow?"
Jiang Mingyue originally planned to meet her former friends, but when Xie Yuan asked, something must have happened, so she shook her head.
Xie Yuan moved his position slightly so that the two children could lean more comfortably and said, "Let's take the grapes and dumplings to meet Master and Aunt Wan!"
Jiang Mingyue heard this and asked in surprise: "Master Shen and Aunt Wan are in Yuanjiang Mansion?"
Xie Yuan said 'hmm'.
"They have been staying in Yuanjiang Mansion for two or three months and are preparing to leave recently."
"You should have told me earlier. We should go see them today."
"It doesn't matter if it's one day earlier or one day later."
Her husband had said so, but Jiang Mingyue didn't say anything else. After returning to Yuanjiang Mansion, she made a special trip back to Jiang Mansion to pick up some things.
