After coming to Yuanlong Dynasty, it seems that every Dragon Boat Festival is not so peaceful.

I remember that last year's Dragon Boat Festival, Xiaoxiao took a nap in the boat alone. In addition to being lucky enough to hear the girls fighting grass, she also "luckily" heard Ci Gu and Ruixiang talking about Yun Yi, which made people's mood fall to the bottom.

This year, it also inherited the storm trend of last year, but it was not in Zhuli Pavilion, but in Wufang.

At dusk, Xiaoxiao was having supper with her parents when she heard about the news that the fifth uncle was beaten by her grandfather. The person who came said it was very jealous: "I don't know what trouble the fifth master caused. The old man was so angry that he wanted to smash him with a flower pot on the spot. Unexpectedly, he was clamoring to divide the family in a hurry. He told the old man to divide the property into five parts, and he only took one of them. The fifth house was going to be divided into one. The old man was so angry that he started to take action, and he even said he wanted to hang up and beat him!"

After hearing this, Tang Qifan didn't care about eating, so he hurried to the old man's side.

"Why are the fifth uncle in a hurry to split up? Now their five-bedroom house is still enjoying the money from the public high school. Isn't it more cost-effective?" Xiaoxiao couldn't figure out the reason for this conflict for a moment.

Shan Niang sighed: "Qisheng's business is a big loss. It is said that she has recently started to have the idea of ​​a snack shop for the fifth brother and sister. The fifth brother and sister went to the old lady to cry and complain, and that's all."

Xiaoxiao also knew about Uncle Wu. Because the Korean ginseng lost a lot of money, the other two businesses he invested in were half dead. He had thought about taking over the gold Chengcai for the old man before, but the old man would never agree. The father and son had some rifts... Unexpectedly, today it was the point of calculating Aunt Wu's dim sum shop! How much money can those two small dim sum shops be? It seems that Uncle Wu was really scared of money this time, and even the sparrow meat was as big as a fat pig.

"I heard that my grandmother had supplemented the fifth uncle." Xiaoxiao said something heard from the truth.

Shan Niang nodded: "It seems that she has also paid the old lady's money. Not only your grandmother, but our family has also paid some money... Unfortunately, Qisheng insisted on his own and did not want to follow your father's advice."

Xiaoxiao had to shake his head. The fifth uncle of this dynasty and the fifth uncle in his previous life were really carved out in the same mold. He was arrogant and impulsive, regardless of consequences. In the words of grandma back then, it was: if you are cruel, you will not bear it if you lose it.

The mother and the mother didn't continue talking about this topic anymore. They helped the ones who should have helped. They didn't listen to the advice they gave. They really had nothing to talk about about this person.

After dinner, the two went to the kang to tease the twins. The "Little Universe" had been around for twenty days and had grown a little flesh. Finally, they looked like a fat baby. - In ancient times, twins could not be fat, and being fat would mean difficult labor. Therefore, the thinner they were, the more they could save their lives.

Xiaoxiao has only recently learned that the ancients did not like twins very much, because most twins are always strong, and boys are small and weak. If two can only live one, the girls will often have a higher chance of survival. - I don't know if there is any scientific basis for this statement. Anyway, the people of the Yuanlong Dynasty called this phenomenon "evil purple and robbed red". - These guys who prefer boys over girls.

Xiaoxiao was thinking about why purple is called "evil purple". It is probably because although purple is noble, it is red and blue, which is far less orthodox than vermilion red. I remember that there is an idiom "Purple Frog sound" which is a metaphor for using false to distort the real and using evil to suppress the right.

Just as he was thinking about these things, he saw that my father came back, waved his hand and didn't let the hot rice go, saying that he didn't want to eat it anymore.

Shan Niang asked tentatively, "The old man and the old lady are...remaining a little angry now?"

Qifan said nothing for a moment. The girls had the abilities to retreat. Xiaoxiao was about to follow him, but when he saw his father wavering to him, he sat back on Xiudun'er.

"What the old man is most annoying is that Qixuan almost disturbed Zhan Yun." Qifan said slowly.

Zhanyun? Who is Zhanyun? Xiaoxiao suspected that he had heard it wrong.

Sure enough, Shan Niang also said with a confused look on her face: "Zhan Yun? Could it be..." Shan Niang pointed to the north, "The third sister who lives in that building?" - Shan Niang said the two strange words "Three Sisters", which were extremely awkward, as if it was the first time in her life to say these two words.

Qifan nodded.

Xiaoxiao suddenly realized that they were talking about Shunhua.

So, who is Zhan Yun? It’s the name of the original third aunt. Xiaoxiao then remembered that his second aunt was named Zhan Xia, and she happened to be a pair with Zhan Yun.

"What did he go to find the third sister?" Shan Niang asked.

"Borrow money." Qifan's expression was a little helpless, "I said that my third sister couldn't spend any money anyway, so why would he help with the operation? Maybe he could make money and make a fortune together."

Shan Niang shook her head when she heard this: "Since Zhan Yun has no money, what's the use of making a fortune?"

Xiaoxiao glanced at his father and finally understood why his grandfather was so angry - Uncle Wu's behavior was so dangerous, and if he was not careful, he would fall into the Tang family with injustice!

My grandfather planned to keep Shunhua's secret identity. Even if Shunhua dies, this identity cannot be missed.

Shunhua is Zhan Yun, but she looks nothing like Zhan Xia. If others don’t understand her, how can her fifth brother not see it? Once she sees it, she will become suspicious. I am afraid that she will reveal her curious experiences before she knows the truth, making it known to everyone in the world.

"Uncle Fifth didn't see it... he didn't disturb his third aunt." Xiaoxiao asked hurriedly.

"Luckily, there wasn't. But the old man was already very angry. After all,... the third sister is in poor health and does not want to be disturbed."

Xiaoxiao thought to herself that Shunhua was too silly. Not to mention the other person, the golden-topped sedan chair and background music alone were enough to attract attention. No wonder Uncle Wu plotted on her.

"Now, did the fifth brother admit it wrong?" Although Shan Niang didn't know the third sister's background, she felt that this matter was unquestionable, so she put aside the third sister and asked the fifth brother only.

"He insisted on splitting up the family. The old man said that as long as he had a breath, the Tang family would not be split." Qifan shook his head and sighed, "He cried so hard just now, and said that the old man was partial, and that we brothers didn't think of him."

"Don't Uncle Wu insist on moving out?" Xiaoxiao asked.

"How could he bear to let it go? He is trying to get money, so why can he move with no money?" Qi Fan said.

"What's going on now?" Xiaoxiao couldn't imagine the stalemate situation. I guess Uncle Wu is playing tricks in his grandfather's house now. Even if he can't impress the old man, it's okay to impress the old woman.

Qifan said: "The emperor was unable to completely cut off the golden power of the Tang family in the end. Although he accepted it to other families, he asked the Tang family to take over the royal jewelry manufacturing process, which was issued a few days ago."

Shan Niang couldn't figure out the truth: "Why did the Emperor hold the Tang family and refuse to let go? Does the Emperor still care about this 'Golden Tang family' sign?"

Qifan smiled without saying a word.

Xiaoxiao couldn't think it through for a moment. Is the emperor for Shunhua? There is no direct connection between this? Or maybe, the emperor wants to tie Tang Mao? He doesn't want to let this person be too far away from him?

Just like flying a kite, the emperor must be sure that the kites that fly the highest and farthest must have an invisible string, firmly pinching them in their own hands.

Thinking of this, Xiaoxiao also became worried. It seemed that the Tang family could not get rid of it if they wanted to get rid of it. They would have to have an inseparable relationship with the royal family for several lifetimes.

I don’t know what my grandfather is thinking now.

"The old man asked Xiaoxiao to go there, and the other girls in the room also went there." Qifan said.

"Hmm?" Xiaoxiao stood up in surprise.

"I don't know what's wrong, Xiaoxiao and go and have a look first." Qifan patted his daughter on the shoulder.

...

In the past, the sisters gathered in the old lady's room, but now this is the first time they gathered in the old lady's room.

The old man’s house is in a standard farm style, and in Xiaoxiao’s opinion it is the high-end version of “Aunt Gui’er’s House”.

The sisters sat on the edge of the big kang and listened carefully to their grandfather: "Gold is invented, our family has not had any weight to the court. The emperor said that this time, we don't have to be too restrictive, and allowed our family to open a few jewelry stores in Kyoto to sell jewelry that we had to sell."

"The emperor's kindness is so great." Several sisters couldn't help but say.

This is really a great emperor's favor. The Tang family wants to open a shop to sell royal jewelry. This selling point alone is enough to attract the upper class in Kyoto.

"My granddaughter is unknown for a moment. Is our family considered an imperial merchant? Then what's going on in charge of the construction office? Is it the same as Chengcai?" Xiaoxiao had a lot of questions to ask.

"This time I am considered an authentic imperial merchant." Tang Mao sighed heavily, "The officials of the construction office gave us a task, and our family is responsible for organizing those craftsmen to carry out construction. After enjoying and wearing it in the palace, the queen will decide which styles can be flowed to the people, and these styles can be sold in our jewelry shop."

"The Empress is so friendly to the people." Huanyan said - she looked pretty good recently, and it is said that the second wife was finally persuaded to agree to her marriage with Mr. Weng.

"I just took on this job, and I don't want to make new things for the time being. Everything is planned to follow the old rules." Grandfather sat down and took a sip of strong tea. "But the adults in the construction office are eager to make contributions and try every means to come up with new tricks. They will never need those on the market. If they want to make new things, they will have to make the latest ones."

Several granddaughters didn't say anything, waiting for their grandfather to say what they later - "What are you tricks?"

Ah? The royal jewelry making question, what are the tricks for a few girls?

Several girls stared at each other, and no one could tell a single, two or three.

"Don't be lazy, and think about it carefully when you go back. Which room comes up with a good idea that brings benefits to the store, the entire profit will belong to that room." The old man finally gave up the important news.

If the girls just stared at their eyes empty just now, then they are now staring at their eyes with bright light. - Who wouldn't be excited about the things that can create wealth for their own families?

Xiaoxiao suddenly realized that the old man was using the mouths of his granddaughters to ask the children to pass messages to their parents.

It seems that the old man really doesn't want to face Tang Laowu to talk about this issue.

"Okay, that's all, let's all be separated." The old man waved his hand, waited for his granddaughters to line up and walked out of the house, and shouted at the window: "Fifth girl is back, I'll ask you if you have something to do."

Soon, Xiaoxiao broke back: "Grandfather, I don't know any jewelry."

Tang Mao took out a small thing and showed it to Xiaoxiao: "Is this yours?"

Xiaoxiao walked forward and found that the little thing was a small rhinestone. The edge cutting was not mature, but it did not affect its clarity and beauty.

"This, this is the crystal glass I applied for the Shoufa Department last year!" Xiaoxiao finally recognized his stuff, "Where did my grandfather get it?"

The application of Shuzaoji last year has not been heard of. Later, Xiaoxiao felt that it was probably not approved, and only lamented that these people had short knowledge and gradually stopped thinking about this matter.

But now she was taken out by her grandfather, Xiaoxiao couldn't figure out the origin for a while.

"I've cut it off." Tang Mao waved his hand and asked Xiaoxiao to sit down. "I have always been familiar with the several people in the Songzao. When they saw that it was sent by the Tang family, they asked me."

"Why did grandfather cut it off?"

"These glasses can replace gems, even more dazzling than gems." The old man looked at Xiaoxiao with deep eyes, "The value of these jewelry is no less than that of the glass of the Shen family."

"so?"

"Don't be too obvious. Good things should be used at the most needed opportunity." Tang Mao pinched this small rhinestone, "This little thing can bring wealth."
