Chapter 108 Homely

"Okay, everyone sit down and talk..." Chang said with a smile: "It's a relative who is close enough to be close. It's rare to get together like this for so many years. When the second brother came over, Brother Han was still young, and the great master and his father were still there. It's been more than ten years in a flash..."

Everyone sighed when they heard this, but Zhang Han himself didn't care. Chang Ning looked at Zhang Han a few times and felt a little sympathy in his heart.

Looking at Zhang Han again, he looked pretty and behaved calmly. He bowed and asked his father and second uncle to come into the room to talk. He was calm when talking, and his tone was full of confidence. Chang Ning also listened carefully to the content of the conversation, and gradually felt a little admiration for Zhang Han.

After all, he is the daughter of a businessman. Chang Ning knows some superficial things in the business road. Zhang Han's words are precise and sophisticated. When telling Lingqiu, everyone admires him for enduring and then hitting the fatal decisiveness. Unconsciously, the whole room was dominated by Zhang Han, and everyone's emotions fluctuated with his words.

"Cousin," Chang Wei shook his heart and said to Zhang Han: "I heard that you are going to the outer world, take me there too?"

Zhang Han said: "You think I'm going to have a trip? There are many horse bandits outside the Great Wall, and the Northern Barbarians and Tatars are divided into several shares. Some of them have friendships with us, and most of them don't recognize us. If there is a conflict, I'm afraid you won't cry at that time."

Chang Wei said: "Although I am not good at martial arts and do not know how to shoot archery, I love riding horses when I am a child. I am not afraid of not getting off the horse for a day. I can endure hardships. Take me with me and see the world. In the future, I will be as capable as my cousin."

Chang Jinquan originally did not agree with his son. Only this son grew up. Before, two sons died early, and there were two boys in the lower house. I don’t know if they could grow up. The medical conditions and sanitation conditions in this era were too poor. The mortality rate of babies was far higher than that of future generations. Even rich families like the Chang family were almost helpless when they found children. Traditional Chinese medicine has a pediatric department, but traditional Chinese medicine basically relies on experience to make prescriptions. Good traditional Chinese medicine can fine-tune according to the condition. Those who are worse than that only know that they stick to the rules and the Chinese medicine is bitter and hard to swallow. It is too easy for children in this era to kill a flu.

But Chang Wei's words also mean that Chang Jin is full of heartbeat.

Zhang Han is less than two years older than Chang Wei, and Zhang Han has achieved such achievements, Chang Wei is not bad at all. If he really goes out for a walk with his cousin and increases his knowledge and knowledge, he might really achieve great things in the future. Even if he can't compare with Zhang Han, he may be much better than ordinary merchants.

"Brother Han, take your brother with you and ask him to have a long experience!" Chang Jinquan thought to himself, and knew that he could not bear to take care of the child, and that there must be a ruthless spirit in the business world. At this time, he also treated his son as a big deal and threw a bet alone.

"Since my second uncle said that..." Zhang Han felt helpless. Looking at his mother, he obviously agreed to pull Chang Wei out. After all, he was a junior of Chang's family. Chang Wei had a promising future, and Chang's family must be happy. At that moment, Zhang Han had to respond: "I will take Brother Wei and protect him, but he may not be obedient. Then I will use a whip to slap him, so don't be unhappy."

Chang Jinquan said, "Do you think I won't whip him? I don't know how many beats this kid has been. He is very naughty. Just just beat him, I won't be angry."

Chang Wei said depressed when he heard this: "I'm so naughty..."

Everyone was about to laugh, and Chang Ning was also about to laugh. Zhang Han noticed that she almost didn't make a sound, just sat aside and listened quietly, sometimes opening her eyes wide and sometimes smiling slightly. In the crooked eyes like moon-like, sometimes full of smiles, which made people intoxicated by looking at it.

At this time, she smiled, as if peonies were blooming, and almost nine out of the colors between the sky and the earth were condensed on her face.

"No wonder people say that beauty can conquer the whole country..."

At this moment, Zhang Han could only think so blankly.

"By the way, I'll bring some land from Lingqiu to my mother, two uncles, Wei brother, and eldest sister."

What Zhang Han took out was a pile of gold ornaments.

In addition to iron ore, Lingqiu also has several small gold mines. Almost all of the gold mines were private mines in the Ming Dynasty. In the early years, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were very interested in opening gold mines, but under the collective compensation of civil servants, the cost of gold mining was far higher than their income, and they had to give up. Emperor Wanli still liked gold. Most of his internal gold was tribute gold in Yunnan. Among the people, because the silver standard was used, the value of gold was underestimated and the people could not afford it. The rich only used gold to make jewelry items, and the currency value was very low, which led to the low gold ratio of the Ming Dynasty. Since the opening of Longwan, a large amount of gold was exchanged for silver by the Spanish and Portuguese Dutch to Europe to mint gold coins. After the mid-Wanli period, gold was outflowed, and the gold ratio on the Ming Dynasty gradually increased. However, by the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, a large amount of gold was successfully exchanged by the Europeans.

The small gold mine in Lingqiu is not produced much, but the scale of about 10,000 taels per year is far inferior to Shandong Zhao, so it is not well known. When Zhang Han took out a bunch of gold jewelry, everyone remembered this.

"Mom, this is a turquoise phoenix-patterned gold bracelet. It looks good if you wear it." Zhang Han took out a pair of bracelets and put them on for Chang's personal hand.

Women are born without immunity to shiny things, even at Chang's age. They wear heavy and shiny bracelets on their hands, and Chang's face is full of happy expressions.

The two uncles were given okra-patterned jade gold jewelry, each with one handle, and the materials were gorgeous, which was in line with Chang Jinquan's aesthetic. He happily took it away. Chang Jinyou curled his lips with an expression that he didn't take it seriously.

The little whip given to Chang Wei was a golden handle. Zhang Han smiled and said, "When I bought it, I didn't know that you were going to leave it with me. This is a premonition."

After such a meal, Zhang Han and Chang Wei became closer. In this era, relatives are still the most reliable. Chang Wei looks smart, sensible, and sweet-mouthed. Zhang Han really likes this kid a little.

When he gave Chang Ning, Zhang Han's face was a little shy, and he said, "My eldest sister is this peony leaf adornment, and she should be right for you."

Chang Ning's face turned slightly red, she took it, smiled slightly, and said, "Thank you, brother, for being kind."

Zhang Han made a joke in Lingqiu, but this time he asked for it and gave it to his own girl. Even if it was her cousin's gold jewelry, it would be fine.

The golden peony has five separate leaves, and in the middle is a huge golden peony petal, which is golden and bright in color. Chang Ning held it in his hand, and his green onion-like fingers are more beautiful in the golden color. Zhang Han wanted her to wear it, but she was embarrassed.

After a meal of wine until three o'clock in the afternoon, the bell in the corner of the house knocked three times, and the table spread out. Chang Jinyou and Chang Jin were both drunk. Chang Wei took people to support the two elders to rest. Chang Ning also returned to the inner residence. Chang looked at Zhang Han who was still normal and asked, "How about your eldest sister?"

Zhang Han pretended to be stupid and said, "What's the matter?"

Chang said with a smile on his face, "Ning'er has lived here for a long time, and many people have liked her. My mother told you that she is not happy. If you don't like it..."

Zhang Han was very anxious. If Chang Ning had such a natural beauty, if he was not moved, he would still be a man in this world? Although he didn't know much about being a human being, he seemed to be quite elegant and elegant, and his temperament seemed to be independent. Such a woman was the best candidate for the wife of the inner house.

"Mom, this, that..." Zhang Han was still shameless. After a few stutters, he said decisively: "The eldest sister has a very good appearance, I like it very much!"

Chang laughed loudly, and after a while, he said, "I mentioned this with my second brother. Of course, he agreed very much, but he just didn't know what the eldest brother meant."

Zhang Han said: "What are the specific plans do you have now?"

Chang said, "They have been looking for the mansion in Xinpingbao, and moved out after a while. I just teach them not to worry. My elder brother is a fool. You have a lot of books and exquisite things here. He is really not anxious. My second brother is in a hurry to move out and open the shop, and then rely on our business to start a business here... There are many subtle things here. You discuss with your second uncle and just ask him to make more money. You don't have to suffer too much. My Chang family also has five or six generations of people doing business. You don't have to suffer too much."

"So, my second uncle is devoted to business, and my eldest uncle's Zhiqu is completely different from him?"

"Yes." Chang sighed lightly: "If Ning'er had happened to you, this matter would have been settled. My eldest brother has always been a bit strange, and I can't figure out what he is thinking."

"You can rest assured about this matter," Zhang Han smiled and said, "My uncle's ambition is actually a miscellaneous study. If you learn it but cannot use it, it is probably the reason for his all kinds of strange tempers. If you don't ask him to use it, I will give him the chance to use it. If you coax him like this, you will not leave, so Sister Ning will stay."

"You have always been a little tragic when you were a child. When you grow up, you can't tell that you are still a shameless person." Chang smiled and said, "Go to do your business."

...

Zhang Han didn't dare to delay. The time was short and there were many things. He pressed on his body one by one, and he had to do it one by one.

He first went out to rush towards the direction of the mule and horses. The Jiang brothers and six Wuwei were guarding each other behind him. Zhang Han knew that Yang Qiu was buried all the secret stakes, and always paid attention to the movements on the street and suspicious figures of his face. In addition, there were people bribed by Yang Qiu everywhere in Xinpingbao, including merchants, passers-by, and friends from all over the place. Although Xinpingbao is a big fort, there are still many people coming in every day. Yang Qiu wanted to try his best to grasp the overall situation. In this way, whether it is Zhang Han or all the industries of He Yusheng in Xinpingbao, it is basically safe.

The layout is also being made in the distance, but the time is too short and there are too few people to use it. Yang Qiu is also a clever woman who can't cook without rice, so she can only take it slowly.
