rebirth first official

Originally, Tang Gan was flickering and his sister was in high spirits, seeing that her sister was about to jump into the hole he dug, when someone knocked on the door suddenly, Tang Gan was really startled and almost jumped out of the chair.

Tang Gan said vigilantly: "Who is outside?!"

Gao Zhanming said, "It's me."

Both Tang Gan and Tang Xue were startled. Tang Gan hurriedly got up and opened the door. When he saw Gao Zhanming standing outside, he was relieved. Why are you here? When did you come, and why didn’t the maid outside come to report? It’s getting more and more unruly!"

Tang Gan was originally worried that Liu Da'an had planted someone outside to eavesdrop on their conversation. The knock on the door was so aggressive that he almost thought it was Liu Da'an who came to settle accounts with him, but it turned out to be his good nephew who came.He always told Tang Xue that Gao Zhanming was the proud son of heaven, those vulgar things about earning a living with money should not bother Gao Zhanming, so Tang Xue never told Gao Zhanming about those things.Gao Zhanming didn't care about these things either, he shut himself in his room all day studying poetry, calligraphy and painting, this nephew really reassured him.

Tang Xue was also surprised: "Ming'er, aren't you studying in school, why are you back?"

Gao Zhanming walked into the house in a calm manner: "I'm not feeling well, so I took three days off to return home. I heard that my uncle is here, so I'm here to pay my respects to my mother and uncle."

Tang Gan hurriedly helped him up, and said with a smile, "You are not feeling well, why are you showing politeness, sit down quickly." Turning his head, he complained to Tang Xue, "Sister, look at how they will be tortured by the Gao family tomorrow. A while ago, regardless of good or bad, it was a stick and a stick, and the Gao family's children were from the collateral lineage, which one had suffered such hardship?! They never regarded Ming'er as a member of the Gao family! "

Tang Xue held Gao Zhanming's hand distressedly, and listened to Tang Qian's embellished provocations, tears were about to roll down, and she choked up, "Minger, are you sick again?"

Gao Zhanming was very calm: "I'm fine. It's just that I have some troubles in school, so I want to come back for a few days."

Tang Gan hurriedly said again: "Did your cousins ​​bully you again? I'll just say..."

Gao Zhanming interrupted: "What uncle said is absolutely true. I was in school and never had peace. Although I am the first son and grandson of the Gao family, I have fallen to the point where anyone can bully me just because my father died early."

Tang Gan was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect Gao Zhanming to continue what he said, so he became more imposing, and said impassionedly to Tang Xue: "Sister, did you hear that the members of the Gao family are all wolves! Who really loves you?" Your own family, you must understand in your heart!"

Tang Xue didn't say a word, just wiped away her tears.

Gao Zhanming said calmly: "What uncle said is true. I am almost seventeen now, and I thought that the life in Zongxue is really too hard. Otherwise, I would resign to avoid being bullied by those people. In the future I'm studying at home, and I can help with family affairs."

Hearing Gao Zhanming's words, Tang Gan couldn't help but be surprised, and immediately vetoed: "How can this work! You have to go to Zongxue!" He also tried his best to promote Gao Zhanming's study in Zongxue.Gao Zhanming, this nephew, has a weird personality and is autistic. Although he didn't interfere in the family's money and making a living before, he is not a weak, independent idiot like his mother.He is in the religious school, so he can't take care of the family affairs anyway, but if he comes back, he will inevitably be the master of the family affairs, and then his constraints will be great.

Gao Zhanming raised his eyebrows slightly: "Didn't uncle also say that the Gao family is full of conscience, so I can only be bullied in Zongxue? If that's the case, I might as well fight for my breath and stop obstructing their eyes."

After Tang Xue heard this, her heart ached, she hesitated and said: "Minger, if you really can't make it through, then..."

Tang Gan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and he objected repeatedly, saying: "Minger, that's why you are confused! You are still in school, at least there are well-educated people teaching you to read, and you can also get in touch with your brothers , will be of great benefit to your future future. You have to endure some hardships now, but you have to take a long-term view. If you study hard and get along with your brothers, you will be able to flourish in the future. Those who bullied you today Man, tomorrow I will kneel in front of you and beg for your mercy!"

Seeing that Gao Zhanming remained silent, Tang Gan turned to his sister Tang Xue and said, "Sister, do you think so? Although the Gao family is bad, Minger is also the blood of the Gao family anyway, and the Gao family can't abandon him after all. An Guogong studied there, and got along with his cousins ​​day and night, so there is some affection. If you can help him find an errand in the future, the hard life of you mother and son these years will be over. What's more, he is here In Zongxue, all the daily expenses are funded by An Guogong, which saves us a lot of expenses, and can also ask you to add two more jewelry. If you come back tomorrow, those princes and young masters will definitely not come to see him. As time went on, they became more and more distant, and if I want to ask someone for help with a small matter in the future, I can't even ask for help!"

Tang Xue hesitated again, looked at her son, then at her younger brother, biting her lip for a long while unable to come up with an idea.

Gao Zhanming looked like he was being taught with a guilty conscience, and said: "What uncle said is that Ming'er was confused just now, and he dared to say such things in a moment of pride. He really failed the teachings of his mother and uncle."

Seeing that Gao Zhanming humbly admitted his mistake, Tang Gan heaved a sigh of relief, laughed and said, "Where is it? Minger is a smart kid, and he can understand a little bit." He hoped that Gao Zhanming would study in Zongxue, except that he didn't want Gao Zhanming to intervene in family affairs. In addition, I don't want my sister and nephew to completely lose the backing of the Gao family.Even though Tang Xue has money to seek here, it is limited in the end.If Gao Zhanming could really rely on the Gao family to become an official in the court, as Gao Zhanming's uncle, he would be able to seek even more considerable benefits in the future.

Gao Zhanming turned to Tang Xue and said, "Mother, it's just that my child has suffered a lot of grievances in school. The children in school call me lonely and poor, and look down on me. I really don't know how to deal with myself. Can mother and uncle give me some advice?" ?”

Tang Xue looked at Tang Gan at a loss, and Tang Gan said: "Minger, it's not that uncle said you, you are indeed withdrawn. If our family is rich and powerful, those snobs will naturally be like bees and butterflies." Normally you rush forward, but now our family is not as good as others, so we can only put our face aside for a while. They ignore you, so you take the initiative to rush forward. You are also a direct descendant of the Gao family, and you were born decently. Who can not sell you? face?"

Gao Zhanming nodded again and again: "Uncle is very critical. By the way, the students in the middle school told me the day before yesterday that all our children will hold banquets and gatherings during the Dragon Boat Festival. Those people are used to extravagance and extravagance. I also know the difficulties at home, so I want to resign. This matter can be taught by Uncle Cai just now, maybe I shouldn't save their face?"

After hearing Gao Zhanming's words, Tang Gan knew that he was asking for money.However, I had already said those words just now, so I had to pretend to be generous: "Exactly. If you are worried about money, you don't have to worry about it. Although uncle is not rich, he still has some money in his hand. How much money do you need?" , just ask uncle, and uncle Gaiming will buy you two new clothes, so that you can go there in style."

Gao Zhanming said: "Well, I will listen to my uncle and I will go."

Tang Gan smiled and said, "Good boy."

Gao Zhanming said: "Uncle's family also has children to take care of, so I can't ask uncle to spend money tomorrow. I'll go to Liu Da and ask him how much money he has left in his business. I don't know if uncle will come again tomorrow when he is free. I still have something to ask my uncle about the banquet."

Tang Gan hurriedly said: "Okay, okay. I'm free tomorrow at noon, think about what uncle can help you with, and tell uncle tomorrow, and uncle will take care of it for you."

Gao Zhanming smiled and said, "Then thank you uncle."

Tang Qiandao: "Why are you polite? I am your uncle. No one else cares about your affairs except me."

Gao Zhanming got up and said: "Then I will leave first tomorrow, and I will go to Liu Da. Liu Da's rules for the Gao family are somewhat clearer than Minger's. I am afraid that it is the Dragon Boat Festival, and Minger still has some things to do. He. Therefore, I am afraid that I will often invite him to come over these days, and the affairs of the family..."

Tang Xue hurriedly said: "There is no important matter in the family, your matter is the most important, you can just use him."

Gao Zhanming nodded, then opened the door and went out.

Now there is still a month until the Dragon Boat Festival, I think my confused mother and shrewd uncle will not think about replacing Liu Da immediately.Through the conversation just now, he has confirmed in his heart that Tang Qian is not a little tricky, and the reason why he didn't expose Tang Qian immediately, but made false claims with him, was because he didn't have enough cards in his hand, and Tang Xue was determined to Trust and rely on Tang Gan. Tang Gan's current foundation is very deep. If he makes a rash move, he may overwhelm the snake.What he has to do now is to dig out Tang Gan's true colors, beat her good brother into a prototype in front of his weak mother, and completely destroy Tang Xue's trust in Tang Gan!

Gao Zhanming came out of Zongxue early in the morning, and it was already noon after he had been making a fuss for a long time.He went out of Tang Xue's yard and immediately went to look for Liu Da, who was waiting for him anxiously.

Seeing Gao Zhanming, Liu Da hurriedly came up to meet him, and asked like a cannonball: "Master, what's the matter, did uncle ever make things difficult for you? Will he hand over the account book? Madam? What did Madam say?"

Gao Zhanming waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I know what to do. I have something to ask you to do. Copy all the addresses of our farm shop to me, including those that have been sold out. .”

Liu Day was taken aback, and asked, "When will the master want it?"

Gao Zhanming said: "Go right now! I don't have much time, the school only gave me three days off, and I'm leaving the house this afternoon. Is giving you an hour to do this enough?"

Liu Da immediately said: "Enough! The slave will do it now!"

Gao Zhanming said: "The less people know about what I do and what I tell you, the better. You can only find a few trustworthy people to help me. I'm afraid that the news will spread, and I will startle the snake instead."

Liu Da couldn't help being taken aback when he heard this.When Gao Zhanming said this, it meant that Gao Zhanming completely trusted him!He immediately straightened his chest, patted his chest and said: "Master, just don't worry! If there is anything you need to say, this servant will definitely do it for you!"

Gao Zhanming smiled and said: "Stop talking nonsense, go quickly, the sooner you get it out the better. Get me some banknotes with a larger denomination, and a few ingots of heavy gold and silver. Also, send someone Prepare a horse for me, ask for the best horse in the mansion, if there is no one, let someone go to An Guogong's mansion to borrow it."

Without saying a word, Liu Da immediately ran away.

Gao Zhanming returned to his room and told Yinhe: "Go and help me find a decent dress, the material should be good and expensive, so that people can tell that I am the son of a rich family, but it should not be too exaggerated , you wear it when you go to the street, you can’t dress like you are going to a banquet. You also change into clean and decent clothes yourself.”

Yinhe took the order and left immediately.

Liu Da's work efficiency was really not bad. After only half an hour, he personally copied all the business outside the mansion into a list and sent it to Gao Zhanming. He also brought two 100 tael silver notes and three or five ingots. silver.

Yinhe had already changed Gao Zhanming's clothes, Gao Zhanming glanced through the list hastily, and asked, "Is the horse ready?"

Liu Dao: "Ready, it's the white-hoofed crow bestowed by the Queen Mother last year. It's beautiful and runs fast."

Gao Zhanming put the list into his arms, and was about to go out with Yinhe, Liu Da asked: "Master, do you want to bring a few more people?"

Gao Zhanming said: "You can find a few skilled and trustworthy people, just protect me secretly, and you don't need to show up."

Liu Dao: "Slave will do it now!"

After a while, Liu Da found a few servants.

Gao Zhanming went out with Yinhe, the white hoofed crow was already waiting outside the mansion, the saddle was covered with thick cushions, presumably because Liu Da knew that Gao Zhanming's lower body injury had not healed yet, and he was afraid that it would be inconvenient for him to ride a horse, so he specially prepared it.Because of Liu Da's carefulness, Gao Zhanming had a good impression of him, supported by Yinhe to mount his horse, and left the mansion vigorously.

Gao Zhanming's trip this time is mainly to investigate the scale of their family's outside business and find out the approximate income.Although the account book brought by Liu Da has the amount of income, but because there is no detailed account, he is not clear about the scale of the business and the main business of the business.Since Tang Qian had all the power, he still refused to hand over the detailed accounts, which meant that there must be something wrong with the reported accounts, and he might have embezzled a lot for himself.

When Gao Zhanming was in the private sector, his family was also a businessman. He also helped take care of the family business after studying, so he knew very well about economics.According to the income reported by Tang Qian, there are very few shops with an annual income of more than a thousand taels, which is absolutely problematic.Let’s talk about the spice business. Since the Holy Majesty cut the tariffs, spices from the Western Regions have become popular among the people, and the cost of buying them has also been greatly reduced. Gao Zhanming’s profit in the spice business in Wu County has doubled compared with previous years. Liu Da said that three or four years ago, the income of Xinglong Incense Shop was more than 1000 taels a year. How come these two years have not increased but decreased?The Gao family is in the capital, so it is impossible for the business to be smaller than the Liu family, and there are so many rich and powerful households in Beijing, the demand for spices is also huge. Yes, the annual income is only 800 taels. I am afraid that Tang Qian has been thinking about this business for a long time, first "lowering" the income, and then tricking Tang Xue into "selling" this business!

There is also a big problem with the rent of land.The Gao family has recorded the number of acres of land and the annual rent. The rent of the fields in the suburbs of Beijing is actually lower than the rent of the fields in the suburbs of Wu County?It's simply coaxing people into fools!

——Unfortunately, Tang Xue, the mistress of the house, is really a fool, and she was really coaxed by the villain.It's just that today's Gao Zhanming is no longer the old son of the Gao family who doesn't know the world.Whoever takes him for a fool, he will definitely make that person pay the price!
