Chapter 147 The Duanmu Family
Duanmu family owns an independent mansion in the neighborhood of Shangyuan Town where wealthy people gather.
The wide and thick walls and the same color of blue bricks wrap the entire Duanmu family, making them look dignified and noble.
Because it is a big family that has been passed down for nearly a hundred years, this house has its own family style.
Especially the pavilions and towers in the middle of the yard are quite characteristic of Jiangnan gardens.
This house alone can never afford an existence in a corner even if ordinary people struggle for the rest of their lives.
And this wealthy mansion in the eyes of ordinary people is just the place where the Duanmu family lives.
As for their business, they are all outside Jinjing City.
A few miles away from Shangyuan Town is Duanmu's porcelain factory.
And the porcelain side is also under the control of Duanmurong.
In Duanmurong's generation, she has two older brothers.
The eldest brother Duanmutang is devoted to his career. He was named a gold medal a few years ago. Now he has been released and has become a parent.
Duanmutang was also a famous talent in Jinjing City back then.
Unfortunately, Duanmutang has no interest in business operations.
A free and wealthy life makes him less interested in money.
He devoted himself to his career and did not care about his family's industry or money.
Duanmurong's second brother is Duanmuyong.
The second Duanmuyong, except for not being afraid of family money and business, is not like his elder brother, but he is not as good as Duanmutang.
He is good at martial arts by nature, so he found many martial arts masters to teach him martial arts without any trouble.
It’s a pity that he is a playboy, and he doesn’t know how to recognize people. He meets all scammers. Although he is free to learn, his cultivation in martial arts can barely pass the ordinary body and body strengthening.
Not to mention it is like a glimpse of the way.
However, after years of exercise, I have gained strong muscles and good physical strength.
This left him a good reputation in the circle of Mr. Jinjing.
Which girl from the brothels on both sides of the Qinhuai River does not praise Duanmu's good work?
After all, it is more physically capable than those young masters who only know how to drink and have fun.
This also means that the prostitutes are simple at this time, and the courtesan girls are all conscientious and not perfunctory. This is why Duanmu Yong gained a good reputation.
If it were in later generations, money would be calculated by time. I am afraid that a person like Duanmu Yong who has lasted for a long time would be the most annoying client.
The helmsman of the Duanmu family is Mr. Duanmu Sheng.
The old man did it with the Duanmu family.
Perhaps he alone took over the luck of the Duanmu family. So he actually had only one son, Duanmu Chaotian.
Duanmu is as famous as the name of the heavens, and his biggest dream is to live in the height of the temple and meet the emperor.
Unfortunately, he lacks talent, cannot study, and is weak in management.
Duanmu Chaotian also has a set of things, and he sent the smart Duanmutang to his career and helped him fulfill his unfinished dreams.
He only eats wine, chess and reads with his friends, but he is indifferent to others.
In the huge Duanmu family, two men in the third generation did not care about family affairs.
This made Mr. Duanmu Sheng very anxious.
Fortunately, as Duanmurong grew up, she became more and more sensible and actually started the Duanmu family's business.
Everything that made the man feel embarrassed was smooth when Duanmurong's hands came to Duanmurong.
Since she started participating in family business at the age of fifteen, she has become more and more prosperous.
Duanmu Sheng finally saw hope in the third generation.
It’s a pity that Duanmurong is a daughter’s family and she will eventually get married.
Duanmu Sheng thought about it and decided to leave Duanmu Rong at Duanmu's house.
Only the son-in-law came to the door and gave birth to a child can only be given the surname Duanmu.
In this way, someone finally inherited this large-scale family business.
The Duanmu family is really rich.
So many people want to marry into Duanmu's family.
In the end, it was Duanmu Sheng's old friend, and Yan Jiu's grandfather took the lead.
The marriage was decided!
At that time, it was rumored that Duanmurong was an ugly girl who couldn't get married. Because she couldn't get married, she used her huge property to attract people to marry into her.
Such rumors were once very rampant.
But since the Qinhuai River turned into Duanmurong on the Lantern Festival, it immediately amazed the prince of Jinjing.
Many people began to come to propose marriages. Even wealthy families had children from non-direct families who were not in the right direction and wanted to marry into the Duanmu family.
Unfortunately, the children of Xu Hao family who came to propose marriage were all rejected by Duanmu Sheng.
Duanmu Sheng knew that these people were just interested in the beauty of their granddaughter and the property of the Duanmu family.
He doesn't care about this, anyway, everything is in the hands of his granddaughter. With his granddaughter's ability, ordinary people can't even touch the Duanmu family.
But these playboys are all skilled.
All day long, I have nothing serious about eating, drinking, gambling and shopping in the kilns.
The old man had inquired about Yan Jiu.
This young man has been burning pottery with his grandfather since he was a child. It is said that his good job is already above his grandfather.
Isn’t such talents officially lacking in Duanmu family?
Instead of finding a wealthy family to marry, it is better to find a technical talent to marry into it.
Mr. Duanmu's abacus was clearly calculated.
I originally agreed with the Yan family that after the two children were sixteen years old, they would get married.
But who would have thought that the prosperous Yan family's business collapsed overnight?
The Yan family members died overnight.
Except for Yan Jiu, who had nothing, there was no one living.
Yan Jiu was tired of sleeping in the broken pottery in the warehouse because he was studying new methods of firing ceramics in the kiln, and he escaped the disaster.
After experiencing this blow, Yan Jiu became dull.
Duanmu Sheng did not destroy the engagement, but received Yan Jiu like his grandfather.
The two brothers of the Duanmu family also regarded Yan Jiu as brothers.
It just that the owner is not bad does not mean that others have no mind.
At Duanmu's house, how many pairs of eyes are staring at Duanmurong's beauty?
How many people hope that Yan Jiu will die so that they can get the opportunity.
So, when the court ordered the craftsmen to enter the capital, someone secretly tampered with the words and reported Yan Jiu, whom Mr. Duanmu Sheng was interested in.
Everyone knows that the north is in war.
When you arrive at the imperial court, who cares if you are a craftsman who burns pottery or a craftsman who builds walls?
All of them were sent to the border to build the city wall.
Especially during the war, if the city wall is broken, it will be repaired.
The probability of death will be very high when repairing the city wall under the knife head.
Everyone knows this very well.
But when Duanmu Sheng and Duanmu Rong knew about it, the imperial court's inner magistrate had already heard of Yan Jiu.
A good craftsman can naturally use it first.
It takes only three months to take turns to make a move, so I can’t bear to leave it?
When the Inspector asked this, Duanmu Sheng shut up.
No matter how much he felt sorry for Yan Jiu and Duanmu Rong, he would not dare to contradict the internal surveillance.
These internal supervisors who were released from outside had a backer, that is Wei Zhongxian.
In this era, Wei Zhongxian is a golden signboard, who dares to get into trouble?
Since Yan Jiu left, Duanmu Sheng has been thinking about it all the time.
