"Hey-yo-my little Mo! I miss your uncle so much!"

Han Jiao, under the wisteria, was startled by the roar and turned his head to look—seeing his uncle rushing towards his younger brother like an eagle catching a chick, hugging little Amo, who was chasing butterflies, into his arms, He sucked hard on his chubby face.

"I haven't seen you in the past few days, why do you feel thin? It's okay! Uncle brought you delicious food, delicious food!" Uncle turned his head excitedly and urged aunt: "Hurry up! Take out the jujube cake , how many days have not come to visit, look at our little chubby hungry!"

Han Jiao immediately stood up, walked over with a heavy face, and snatched his younger brother from his uncle's arms.

For this couple, Han Jiao was very suffocated.

My uncle was born in a small official family. After the family was separated, as a concubine, he only had a few acres of Susukida, and his life was very poor.

Han Jiao's mother felt sorry for her sister marrying such a poor man, so she tried hard and forced Master Han to come forward to help, pooled the savings of the two families, and won a business from the Ministry of Industry, which allowed the aunt's family to start a business. Building materials business.

After getting the first pot of gold, the couple only returned half of the original cost paid by the Han family, and they didn't share any profits.

Mr. Han is a scholar. At first, he just wanted to help his relatives and didn't want to make a profit, so he didn't care about what the couple did.

Afterwards, my uncle still needs to use Mr. Han as his backer for business, so he often visits the Han mansion and sends some food and clothing to the Han family mother and son. The relationship between the two families has always been very good.

Unexpectedly, after Master Han's accident, the superficial intimacy of the two families was completely torn apart.

The uncle, husband and wife borrowed 600 taels of silver from Mrs. Han, and the next day, when they found out that Mr. Han was about to fall, they immediately went to the door to collect the debt.

The aunt also tactfully persuaded Mrs. Han to give up saving her husband and let Mr. Han in the prison "resign himself to fate".

Logically, the Han family asked for more than half of the couple's family property, and they had no reason not to give it.

When the trouble came to this point, I felt that the men of the Han family were all scholars with thin skins and let them decide.

This incident made Mrs. Han very angry, and indirectly caused Han Jiao to take his younger brother to the street to buy buns, and was kidnapped.

These things were all leaked out by Mrs. Han after she moved to the new house and complained to her son.

After Han Jiao knew about it, he immediately asked the boy in the mansion to send 600 taels of silver, 11 taels of medicine money, and a few days' interest to the couple. The attitude of severing contact.

Unexpectedly, they still have the nerve to make friends now.

If you really want to retaliate against the ungrateful relatives, with Han Jiao's current strength, you can be friendly on the surface, but keep quiet behind the scenes, and let them lose their business until the liberation.

But the human heart is full of flesh, and Han Jiao's body seems to carry the feelings of the original owner. Deep down in his heart, he has feelings for his aunt.

The deeper the relationship, the more piercing the hurt. Han Jiao couldn't even be polite at the moment, and greeted the couple with a blank expression: "Xi Ke, Ah Mo just ate the dessert sent by the palace, and he is not hungry."

Seeing Han Jiao's attitude, the aunt's heart immediately turned cold.

My uncle greeted me as if nothing had happened: "Ajiao, why are you losing weight? Oh, tell me about this... Since your father had an accident, your aunt and I have not been safe for a day! That day I came to comfort your mother, but unexpectedly But she misunderstood her! Doing bad things with good intentions!"

He sadly said to Han Jiao with a bitter face: "We know your mother's temper, and we didn't dare to defend ourselves at the time, so we went home first and wanted to wait for your mother to calm down before coming back. Who would have thought that a few days ago, your mother suddenly took your father's The life-saving money has been returned to us! Don’t you think it’s life-threatening!”

"Yes, Ajiao!" My aunt hurriedly stepped forward, took out a bank note from her pocket, and held it in front of Han Jiao: "We went to your house that day to find out that your father committed a serious crime, 600 I was afraid that the two would not be enough to manage, so I sold all the wood in the village at a low price, and collected 600 taels for you, here is 200 taels, you should put it away first, if it is not enough, Auntie will sell the pot and sell iron..."

"My father has returned." Han Jiao interrupted her.

"Back... are you back?" Uncle didn't expect Master Han to be released from prison, and he didn't prepare his speech before coming here, so his tongue got stuck for a while.

The aunt hurriedly answered, "That's really an eye-opener! If something happens to a good official like my brother-in-law, we ordinary people will have no hope!"

Han Jiao interrupted the performance of the actor and actress, and said calmly: "You two, please sit in the side hall first. If you have anything to say, you can tell me. My mother is still ill."

"Sister is sick?" Auntie asked with concern, "Have you asked the doctor to watch it?"

Han Jiao nodded: "I've seen it, it's all out of anger."

Uncle's complexion changed, and he hurriedly interrupted cheekily: "Oh, that's right. The case your father provoked this time is really not a small one. Don't say that my sister is anxious, we are also ill."

"Ajiao, let them in."

Suddenly, Mrs. Han's cold voice came from behind.

When Han Jiao turned his head, he saw his mother standing at the door of the main room, looking at his younger sister and brother-in-law deeply.

Contrary to Han Jiao's expectation, the mother, who has always been a bit cautious, actually entertained the aunt and his wife well.

Not only did he ask his servants to prepare a table of royal hospitality-level banquets, but he also asked the servant girl to serve her aunt personally.

Mrs. Han wanted to prove to her sister what she had said before - she would have whatever kind of life she wanted to live.

But Han Jiao didn't quite understand the secret rivalry methods of the two sisters, seeing the table full of dishes made his heart ache.

After all, what they ate was the dishes delivered by the dining room of King Yan's Mansion. Han Jiao is very thin-skinned in this regard, and he is afraid that he owes others.

This is also inherited from Mr. Han's character, so when Mrs. Han wanted to order a jar of good wine for Han Jiao to accompany her uncle to have a drink, Han Jiao hurriedly said that he had business to deal with later, so he refused desperately.

Seeing that Mrs. Han didn't intend to turn over the old score, my uncle took the opportunity to explain to Han Jiao the reason for his visit: He wanted Han Jiao to come forward to give him a strong momentum and invite several officials from the Ministry of Industry to have a meal.

After hearing his request, Han Jiao was completely shocked by his thick skin.

Before he opened his mouth to refuse, Mrs. Han spoke in a deep voice, her words were very direct, and she didn't save my uncle at all—

"I, Ajiao, will not get involved in your official and business activities. My master was forced by me at the beginning. Now that he has saved his life, he will not do these thankless jobs again. Sister, brother-in-law, from now on, our two families will be separated from each other. Have a good time, and I wish you a prosperous business."

This is a complete showdown, and the faces of the aunt and the couple turned pale.

"Sister!" The aunt immediately got up and walked around the dining table, knelt down on one knee beside Mrs. Han, grabbed her sister's arm and choked and said, "You really misunderstood me. What I said that day was not pleasant, but it was for you and My child is in a hurry, I have to have half bad intentions towards you, tell me to be struck by lightning!"

Mrs. Han's expressionless face showed a trace of sadness at this moment, she turned her head and said to her son, "Take your uncle to the flower hall for some snacks, I have something to say to your aunt."

Han Jiao knew that her mother was actually a typical knife-mouthed bean curd heart, and she might forgive her sister if she couldn't bear it.

There is no way, it is not easy to remind in person, so I can only ask my uncle to sit in the flower hall next door.

Walk through the Chaoshou verandah, and walk into the flower hall courtyard from the east corner gate, all the way in silence.

My uncle had already guessed that Han Jiao was planning to draw a line with their family, so he rolled his eyes and pondered for a while, and then called Qu Qued with a bitter face: "Ajiao, your aunt really died unjustly, you know what she said, put you Is Nyonya in a hurry? I just said that we have to save money and find a way for you to be promoted in the future. Just this sentence! What does your aunt mean? Just want to say: Even if your father loses the official position, our family can still Save money and support you with all your strength. These are words to comfort your mother, and they are also from the heart of our husband and wife! Who knows, your mother thought we were urging her to pay back the money, wouldn't this be a big misunderstanding!"

The scent of flowers in the yard passed by, and the anger in Han Jiao's heart was also blown away. Suddenly, he had another thought, stopped, turned to look at his uncle, and said, "No one saves money as much as your own." Squeeze An Sheng. In the past, my father helped my uncle get a lot of business, and you are also very grateful to my father. You can't help but respect him too much on weekdays. It seems to be a generation lower than my father. I really wronged you. "

The uncle was stunned when he heard the words, his face was full of confusion, he couldn't figure out whether the boy was mocking or perfunctory, so he could only apologize and said with a smile: "Your father is a fourth-rank official, and I respect him as an old man, so that's not right? Why should I be wronged? See what you said, I can't ask for more!"

"Uncle's words are serious." Han Jiao's eyes flashed with the luster of a schoolmaster, and he said seriously: "From now on, our family will make connections for you. You contribute money and we contribute. If the business is completed, the benefits will be half and half. Relatives, since we are doing business together, we should not distinguish between high and low, and all should be equally divided, do you think this is appropriate?"

Uncle's smile instantly froze on his face.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Han's poor scholar's temperament suddenly changed, and Han Jiao actually discussed interests with him without blushing!

This kid took the wrong medicine!

Uncle was completely dumbfounded.

The benefits are half and half, so how much less money will he earn?This is cutting his flesh!

He wanted to refuse on the spot, but he knew he couldn't turn his back on him.

Frankly speaking, if the other family wants to find a fourth-rank official as a backer, the filial piety of the backer's money alone can account for [-]% of the profit, but Master Han doesn't take any money, and has worked for their family for more than ten years.

Because of this, my uncle can give the lowest quotation. If other merchants offer him such a quotation, even if the business is won, they will have to pay.

But now, Han Jiao actually opened his mouth to ask him for a "fee", and once he opened his mouth, it was [-]%!

"This... this..." Uncle Qiqi Ai said: "Of course it's okay, but our business doesn't make a lot of money, so I'm afraid my nephew won't like it!"

Han Jiao shook his head: "It's a trivial matter if you have more money or less money, the main thing is that you can't always make uncle inferior."

"I...I..." Uncle is very willing to be inferior to others in exchange for half of the profit.

Han Jiao's face became serious, and he warned: "If you are always so polite, our family will never interfere in business matters in the future."

"Don't! Don't..." Uncle was about to cry: "Nephew is right, we will share equally...Equally share..."

Han Jiao kindly showed a satisfied smile.

In fact, this was not done to avenge my uncle's ingratitude, but because Han Jiao was really short of money.

Before the accident, Han Jiao didn't take this issue as a big deal. After Master Han's accident, Han Jiao realized that at the critical moment, he really needed money to save his life.

And the salary level of Da Chu, a civil servant, is simply black in the eyes.

In the future, Han Jiao doesn't plan to rely on the filial piety of lower-ranking officials to make money, so he has to save some family property first to prepare for making money by secretly doing business in the future.

Sitting in the flower hall, my uncle forced a smile on his face, but his face was pale and blue. He tried to calm down and discussed with Han Jiao about inviting officials from the Ministry of Industry to dinner.

Han Jiao listened calmly, but felt a little uncertain in his heart.

Although he was appreciated by the King of Yan, he was still an unrecognized scholar after all. The internship time after the selection of the Shuji Hall was fixed, and he could only find a way to be promoted quickly after he had to leave the hall.

That is to say, the Ministry of Industry may not sell his face as a good man, because the low-level officials of the Ministry of Industry do not know about the murder of a good man and the crime of committing crimes, nor do they know how much Han Jiao has helped King Yan.

The uncle saw Han Jiao's indifferent and composed demeanor, and thought that he was confident, so he was a little flustered for a while, and asked Han Jiao: "Now, King Yan treats his virtuous nephew with great kindness. Such a big house is right next to the palace. ..."

Han Jiao smiled: "Your Highness just let me stay temporarily."

"That is also the highest courtesy!" Uncle said happily: "Ajiao, it will be the eldest prince's birthday in two days, all the princes will go to the eldest prince's mansion to have a banquet, and officials from various ministries have also received invitations. If it is convenient, You can ask the King of Yan for an invitation, or join the banquet with the King of Yan, there will be a lot of high-ranking officials that day..."

Han Jiao shook his head with a smile: "I'm a good man, so it's nonsense to be involved in this kind of occasion?"

"Oh, you are just like your father, you are too thin-skinned, even a dog wants to sneak in on this occasion!" Uncle said impatiently: "And... and Prince Duan will also be there, Don't blame Uncle for not reminding you, now that you are appreciated by King Yan, you'd better go to King Duan's side to show your kindness, there are many twists and turns here, listen to Uncle's persuasion, so as not to be sniped in the future."

Han Jiao was taken aback: "Will King Duan go?"

Uncle nodded: "For sure, it is the eldest prince's birthday banquet, he is the eldest brother, all princes will give this face."

Han Jiao lowered his head and thought, really wanting to meet that unlucky child Xie Xiu.

By the way, I also wanted to test the big boss, whether the words he said that day had the meaning he thought.

The author has something to say: I heard that His Royal Highness Ninth Prince's playing skills have declined recently, and he always misses when catching the ball. Could it be that the old injury on his hand has recurred?Have you let the doctor see it?

Imperial Physician: I've seen it, it's all out of anger.
