Yan Cigui

Chapter 9 Tell the truth

Little Duan was not as optimistic as Lin Yunyan, but he was also amused by her: "You are so young, you have such beautiful thoughts."

Lin Yunyan smiled.

 It’s not that she wants to be beautiful.

 Once upon a time, there was a champion in Lao Shi Alley!

Chen Gui did not get any help from Chengyi Bofu, so he shamelessly linked up with others and became the third owner.

 By running around on your own, the rent in Lao Shi Alley has increased.

 This was a business that was growing day by day. Unfortunately, two years later, Chen Gui fell while walking at night and hit his head. He never woke up.

It was not until a few years later that Xu Jian accidentally learned some inside information when he inquired about what was going on.

During the construction of Lao Shi Lane, two boxes of gold bricks were dug out from under a house.

 The other two owners split up privately and did not tell Chen Gui at all.

 Before the accident, Chen Gui learned of the situation and pursued him to ask for the gold bricks.

　　It was pitch black at night and it was a remote alley. By the time someone discovered him at dawn, Chen Gui had already run out of energy.

 There was no personal identification, and Chen Gui showed no signs of fighting back. Even if they knew that there was a hidden conflict between the two parties, they could not tell whether Chen Gui's death was an accident or a victim.

In Lin Yunyan's view, there is an account for collecting rent, and the two boxes of gold bricks are the ones who don't notice it.

Without being credited or exposed to the light, as long as you hide it well outside, your home will not be confiscated when the day comes.

“I just have an idea,” Lin Yunyan said calmly, “Whether the idea can be used in business depends on the businessman who knows best.

The third uncle is interested in doing this business. You might as well ask him to discuss with Chen Gui the cost of the repairs and how to deal with it in the future, and prepare a detailed document for you.

 If the charter is clearly written, things can be done clearly. "

Little Mrs. Duan can hear this.

When the female family holds a banquet in the garden and entertains guests, it is indispensable to draw up regulations. Who will be invited, what food and gifts will be prepared, and how much will be spent. If the writing is not good and the thinking is unclear, how can the banquet be held well?

 Saburo is in an alley as soon as he opens his mouth, let alone write less!

"If the writing is really good, the prospects will be good..." Xiao Duan hesitated, "To be honest, I still don't want to touch Yun Jing's dowry."

"The wedding date has not been officially set," Lin Yunyan advised. "How can we not get married within this year? When the spring comes next year, the Duke of Xu will not recognize the marriage?"

“Ouch!” Xiao Duan said twice, “Children’s words are unbridled, children’s words are unbridled!”

Lin Yunyan almost laughed out loud.

What kind of "child talk" is she?

 When spring comes, Xiao Duan will have to jump into Xu Guogong's mansion. It will be a dog-skin plaster that can't be shaken off.

"My uncle worked with my father in the past few years and has never done anything alone," Lin Yunyan said. "You want Xu Guogong to support your uncle, so you should take this opportunity to see if your uncle can do it. Otherwise, he will not be able to do anything if he is promoted. It will make my uncle feel uncomfortable, my eldest sister will feel uncomfortable, and the Duke's government will also feel uncomfortable. "

 Little Duan's old face turned red.

Think about that situation, she has no place to show her face!

“That’s your uncle,” Xiao Duan coughed slightly, trying to save her face, “Can’t you hope that he will do well?”

Lin Yunyan went straight and said, "Just because he is your biological son, he will embarrass you outside, and you will be even more angry!"

 Little Duan:…

This girl, why are you telling the truth today?

Dalang is the eldest son, he has inherited the title, and he behaves in a dignified and prudent manner, which is what he should do, which makes people reassuring and happy.

 As a mother, can you not hope that Sanlang and Shilang will follow in the footsteps of their elder brothers?

 When brothers work together and help each other, a family can prosper.

If it only holds the older man back, even if the older brother doesn't despise the younger brother, she, the old mother, will be so angry that she can't hold herself up to the wall.

Lin Yunyan quit when she saw the opportunity. Personality change does not happen overnight, it must be subtle.

 The attack was so fierce all at once that my grandmother might not be able to bear it.

 It was already late at night, and Xiao Duan called for people to come in, blow the lamps and put down the tents.

Lin Yunyan was sleeping in the blue gauze cupboard. She knew that little Duan did not fall asleep, but was tossing and turning.

Taking a certain amount of risk to earn more money, and marrying off the eldest granddaughter in a smooth and graceful marriage, these two things are going back and forth in the old lady's mind.

Before falling asleep, Lin Yunyan was thinking that she remembered the name of Enke, the number one scholar, and the second and third overall picks. Looking back on her memories, she remembered more of the top two, and how they all lived in Lao Shi Lane...

 The sun rises early in summer.

When Lin Yunyan opened her eyes, there was some rustling movement outside.

 It seems that little Duan has already gotten up. She is not very old at her age.

Lin Yunyan also stood up, put on her clothes and came out.

"Did I wake you up?" Xiao Duan was sitting in front of the dressing table, her long hair neatly combed, and she put a forehead band on it. "The old woman is in trouble."

Lin Yunyan walked over and looked in the mirror.

 Little Duan's skin is white, and the slight cyan color under his eyes is obvious.

 “You have something on your mind, so you can’t sleep well.” Lin Yunyan said.

Little Duan told her to speak up, smiled, and discussed with her honestly: "There is a business that can be done, and your third uncle wants to try it. It's human nature.

 I was thinking that since our family’s income is stable and our expenses are adequate, we are not that short of money after all calculations.

 Families like ours have to live according to the old routine. Safety is the most important, and we have adequate food and clothing. "

The mansion of a hereditary and neglectful prince and uncle cannot produce a junior who can make achievements, so that's nothing. If a few dandy children who don't know what they have in their hands, let alone what they know in their hearts, it will be fatal!

  No matter how big the family fortune is, it must be compensated.

 Therefore, it is necessary to discipline and restrain the children, so that they do not lose the dignity of the uncle in their daily walks, and they must not scatter money like a gangster.

 It’s a small thing to spend money, but it’s a big thing to lose your head.

 Gold and silver are not necessarily mountains of fortune. A big family fortune attracts both petty and noble people. These can be used for reference in the history of various dynasties.

My family has both a title and a princess, which is enough in terms of scenery. There is no need to pursue mismatched wealth.

Lin Yunyan understands Xiao Duan’s thoughts very well.

 Prudence, moderation, and rules are the words that my grandfather always talked about when he was still alive.

But there are still a lot of troubles in this world. If you don't look for them, they will follow you. Especially, this trouble is big and heavy. If you want to stay in the middle, it will kick you face to the ground. Mouth full of mud.

Without speaking immediately, Lin Yunyan pursed her lips at Xiao Duan.

 Little Duan saw it in her eyes and felt a little thump in her heart.

 This girl hasn’t been feeling right since last night!

Signaling all the maids and maids around her to leave, Xiao Duan asked, "Do you really want to do that business?"

"It has to be done," Lin Yunyan thought quickly and whispered, "Families like ours have to save some private money."

After hearing the words, Xiao Duan's eyes suddenly sank.

What's the meaning?

Yesterday in Cining Palace, what did Yun Yan hear from the Empress Dowager's words?

　　　Thanks to book friends Xiaoyuan, miya2022, and Xu Bicheng’s official girlfriend for the reward, and thanks to Xiaoxiang book friend Yen1988 for the reward.
