Little husband's market life

There was "Law of the Tang Dynasty" in the early dynasty, and there were ten evils in the Tang law, and the ten evils included "evil rebellion", "unfilial piety" and "disharmony" to judge whether a person has filial piety or not.

The Daqing Dynasty continued this law to restrain children.

Emperor Qinglong ruled the world with "filial piety", and all good "filial piety" is the sky. No matter whether Sheng Yao is in literature or business, as long as he lives in this dynasty, he can't ruin himself because of not being "filial". reputation.

In the Daqing Dynasty, what was filial piety?All the people of Daqing replied: Confucius said, don't violate it.

Don't violate it, so when Sheng Shaoyuan is alive, Sheng Yao needs to be polite; when Sheng Shaoyuan passes away, Sheng Yao needs to be buried and sacrificed with courtesy.

Even if "the son is poor and unable to support his father" and the parents hang themselves, the son will be punished with a staff of one hundred and exiled for three thousand miles. The crime is: negligent killing of the father.

Children are not even allowed to say unfilial remarks, otherwise they will end up like Kong Rong who gave up pears. Kong Rong once said: What kindness is there between father and son?But it was just a seizure.

Later, he was killed by Emperor Wu. Emperor Wu's words of "contrary to the heavens and the Dao, ruining ethics and rituals" blocked the mouths of many people. It was precisely because of Kong Rong's remarks that the people at that time thought he was not filial, so Emperor Wu killed him. There was no public outrage.

But fathers beating, scolding and humiliating their children is 'natural', it is an education issue, it is a problem at the moment, it is not a crime.

This is the reason why Sheng Yao, the eldest son, must support his father. Only his father, Sheng Shaoyuan, does not want him as the eldest son, does not follow him as the eldest son, and there is no reason why he does not want his father, and does not support his father.

But Sheng Shao is an old man, and what he wants all day is to have a good life, so it depends on how he chooses.

When Sheng Yao raised the silver taels, Sheng Yan also raised the money.

Sheng Yao didn't wait for Sheng Yan and Fourth Master Dong to come to announce the closure of the shop. At night, he waited until Maojian.

After Mao Jian entered the meeting hall of the tea house, he reported: "The people at the gate of Dongsheng Bank dispersed. In the afternoon, Dade Village brought box after box of silver, which relieved the doubts in the hearts of the people."

Sheng Yao held up the book, but his mind was not on the book.

Seeing that the master did not speak, Mao Jian felt a little anxious, and asked: "Then what shall we do next?"

"It's not Dade Village that solves the public's doubts, but Wujiabao." Sheng Yao put down his book, stood up and stood in front of the window.

Mao Jian followed, following his master's line of sight, he saw the waning moon in the sky.

He didn't understand, he just followed Sheng Yao's words to understand, "Yes, Wu Jiabao is not easy to deal with."

"No." Sheng Yao's deep voice became clearer in the night, "Wujiabao is evil, evil people seek profit, and they can break through if they have a plan."

"Then Master Biao's concern is...?" Mao Jian didn't understand, "Mao Jian can't figure it out."

Sheng Yao lowered his head with a heavy heart, "If there are no stupid people, many things cannot be done by wicked people alone."

Mao Jian scratched the back of his head, "Who is stupid?"

Qiao Zhishu heard someone report that Mao Jian had returned, and he hurried to the meeting hall, just in time to hear the conversation between Sheng Yao and Mao Jian, and he answered casually: "Sheng Yan is just stupid."

Qiao Zhishu walked up to the two of them.

"In the morning, my brother asked Wang Xiucai to be sent away, and he clearly rejected Wu Jiabao. Afterwards, I explained the interests of Yinye in Jiangzhou to Sheng Yan clearly and plainly, but he still went to Wu Jiabao. "

"Even if he didn't take the initiative to find it, but was dragged away by Wang Xiucai, it is a fact that Dadezhuang came forward in the afternoon."

Mao Jian nodded in agreement, "That's true, Wang Xiucai hooked up with him, I think it's very willing."

Qiao Zhishu looked at Sheng Yao's back, and continued, "Stupid people will hurt others when they benefit themselves, and they will hurt others when they are not good for themselves. It is hard to guard against."

It sounded like he was speaking to Mao Jian, but he was actually staring at Sheng Yao's back.

Sheng Yao turned around and sat down facing Qiao Zhishu, "Why? Now that you know it, you can be prepared."

Qiao Zhishu knew that Sheng Yao had made up his mind, and he had an idea, "The most terrifying thing in the world is not the villain, but the fool, like Sheng Yan, who knows that he is killing his own elder brother, but still wants to be with the villain, he thinks Isn't his surname Sheng?"

Sheng Yan understands the stakes, and still chooses to work with Wu Jiabao. What Wu Jiabao is looking for is the interests in Sheng Yao's hands, and this interest can only be obtained logically if Sheng Yao is eliminated.

Sheng Yao thought a little deeper, "Of course he knows that his next step is to get rid of me. But I can't wait any longer, Mao Jian, and you will go back to Nan County to bring the two elders to the state capital early tomorrow morning."

Sheng Yao couldn't sit still and wait for death, he had to start preparing for a counterattack.

Did Sheng Yan and Wu Jiabao already have a plan?Have you started yet?Where have we reached?He didn't know, so he needed time, and he wanted to force Sheng Yan to separate himself from him earlier.

"I'm giving him one last chance to choose."

"The Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, Zhishu, help me back up the gifts. In two days, my eldest brother and I will visit the prefect."

Seeing that Sheng Yao had made up his mind and had an idea, Qiao Zhishu nodded and went to prepare.

The next day, Mao Jian went to pick up Sheng Shaoyuan and his wife, and it was impossible for Sheng Shaoyuan to go with Mao Jian.

Mao Jian had no choice but to bring out the worst plan that the master said, "If the two elders don't want to see their children go to court, it's better to come forward to mediate."

"Yes, to court?" Fang He held his youngest son's hand tightly.

Sheng Shaoyuan was furious, "That Nizi wants to sue his own brother? Today, I will beat that Nizi to death!"

……

The carriage entered the state capital.

Fang He watched the strangers come and go, hugged Sheng An tightly, and said to Sheng Shaoyuan: "Why don't we go to Yan'er first."

Sheng Shaoyuan thought for a while, "That's right, who knows what kind of madness that Nizi will go."

So he told the driver: "Change the road and go to Dong Sheng's bank."

Mao Jian was leading the way on a horse. The coachman was hired from the Nanxian Post Station. There were two old people and a young child sitting behind him. The coachman was afraid of lawsuits, so he naturally followed the wishes of the two old people.

Mao Jian had no choice but to go back to the mansion by himself and told Sheng Yao about the situation.

After hearing this, Sheng Yao twitched the corners of his mouth, and said flatly: "It's okay, just bring the words with you. Go get ready, they will definitely come to the door today."

"Yes."

Mao Jian went to find Qiao Zhishu, who was in the kitchen making rice dumplings for the Dragon Boat Festival.

Qiao Zhishu washed the red dates and looked at the plates of ingredients brought by his elder sister Sheng Ying, including red beans, mung beans, fresh meat, duck eggs, cured pork legs, etc. He looked down at the single ingredients in his wooden basin, It happened that a chubby white hand touched one and stuffed it into his mouth.

Qiao Zhishu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and flicked water beads to Xiao Huansheng.

Xiao Huansheng giggled, grabbed the red dates and hid behind his mother, hugged Sheng Ying's leg, poked his head out to look at his little uncle quietly.

Qiao Zhishu stood up, "I won't make a bag anymore, I'll look at elder sister's bag."

Sheng Ying smiled, "In the past, my family was not rich. Every Dragon Boat Festival, the meat dumplings were exchanged for money. If there were too many of them, I knew how to make them delicious."

The meat dumplings made by Sheng Ying are very fine. The mung beans should be peeled, then soaked in boiling water with the glutinous rice, and the fresh meat should be seasoned and marinated. A layer of glutinous rice and mung beans, with a salted egg yolk on top, when the mung bean meat dumplings are steamed, they are fragrant.

Mao Jian came over and said, "Master Biao said that there are distinguished guests celebrating the festival today."

Qiao Zhishu came to his senses first, "Okay, I'll go and tell the back kitchen to prepare good dishes and meat."

Everyone was busy, but someone came from the other end, saying that the two elders went to the restaurant and asked Sheng Yao to go there.

Sheng Yao nodded, "Understood, go and answer."

After the guy who sent the message left, Qiao Zhishu said dumbfoundedly: "Look, they are so scared that they dare not come to the door."

"They know it's not a bad thing to be afraid." Sheng Yao didn't mind, "Come on, change your clothes, let's go to the banquet."

It's a pity that there is a table full of fish and meat...

Qiao Zhishu changed into the fish-belly white brocade dress, with elegant wide sleeves.Sheng Yao was dressed in red and black, with a waist and sleeves, and a heroic and capable appearance.

Sheng Yan held a banquet at Yi Fu Lou, and he chose the largest restaurant in Fucheng. An accident happened to his bank the day before, and today he made a big show of his wealth, just to tell Sheng Yao that he has something to rely on.

Sheng Yao naturally understood the meaning of it, the other party's move followed Sheng Yao's intention, the more rampant the other party was, the more he could benefit from the trend.

Mao Jian followed the two masters and asked worriedly: "Should we take him to work? Mrs. Fang owes him a lot. If she speaks up for Master Biao, it will save Master Biao less suffering."

"No, what we want is to make them think we are defenseless."

Qiao Zhishu explained Sheng Yao's meaning, "They don't know that we know that they want to cut ties with us and not take a post, which is exactly what they want. The more ruthless they are and the more ruthless they are, the more beneficial we will be."

Mao Jian's mind is full of "they know, we know", but seeing that the two masters have a tacit understanding and a perfect understanding, they will no longer be promoted.

When they arrived at Yifu Building, the assistant led the three of them into the private room.

Indoors, Nanxian Sheng's furniture all had dignified faces, as if they were facing a formidable enemy. If you look carefully at the emotions expressed between their brows and eyes, they are all unwavering.

Sheng Yao saw it in his eyes, his emotions were hidden in his heart, and his face was calm, "Father, this time, you have really let down the heart of your son's family."

Sheng Yan snorted coldly: "You are going to go to court with me, who would dare to eat the wine you prepared?"

Sheng Yao glanced at him coldly, "Second brother is ignorant of people, he is in danger of being imprisoned, and I worry about you for my brother, but I can't wait for your reply. Although I have made a decision to go to court, the second brother My younger brother doesn't know how to grieve for my elder brother."

Seeing that his second son was at a disadvantage, Sheng Shaoyuan also knew Sheng Yao's tricks, so he scolded anxiously: "Nizi, what grievance do you have to sue the yamen?"

"I am not wronged. I am wronged for my father. My second brother took all the ten thousand taels of silver that I gave to my father's pension and went into business. I was almost sued by the people to the yamen. I am the eldest son and the elder brother. My lord can enjoy his old age in peace. In order to save my second brother from being imprisoned, I must tell the world about this worry—it is not your fault, it is my fault, Sheng Yao, who should not have given the ten thousand taels of silver, so I will go to court to get the ten thousand taels back. Two silver, not too much, right?"

Sheng Xue: "You are also a scholar, don't you know that if you go to the Yamen, my second brother's reputation and career will be ruined?"

"Then Sheng Yao can only endure the torment and pain in his heart, and rein in the precipice." Sheng Yao ignored them and sat down on his seat.

Sheng Shaoyuan slapped the table, "Nonsense! Yan'er Bank is doing well, but it was misunderstood by the people in Fucheng yesterday. The run-on is a trivial matter that all banks will encounter. How can it be as serious as you said?"

"Yao is worried, please ask the magistrate to check the account books of Dong Sheng Bank."

"You! You obviously don't want to see that I am more capable than you, and can earn more money than you!" Sheng Yan pointed at Sheng Yao, without the cowardice and begging attitude from yesterday at all.

Sheng Shaoyuan: "You threatened Yan'er to close the bank, is there such a thing?"

"Threat?" Sheng Yao chuckled, "Yesterday, Sheng Yan brought someone to my house, and that person was Wang Xiucai. This person threatened me to hand over the trading rights of Jiangzhou Yinye on the grounds that he would help Dong Sheng Bank to quell the run on the bank." , Yao considered this behavior to be a threat."

Only then did Qiao Zhishu chime in, "Jiangzhou Yinye is the third-class tribute tea from the imperial court. The Holy Majesty personally pointed out that this is a trade exchange between Ulan and our court. When the Wanli Tea Ceremony was first established, my brother specialized in this tea, so Master Futai thinks that my brother is the most suitable candidate for the caravan in Jiangzhou Yinye. If my brother trades the trading rights for private transactions, he will lose his head!"

"Nonsense! Wu Jiabao paid money to buy it, so it's impossible to report it. You just want to see me in prison!"

Qiao Zhishu: "Don't tell me about Wu Jiabao, are everyone else dumb? Do you know how many caravans are fighting in Yinye, Jiangzhou? If my brother suffers because of this, everyone will suffer, do you think your surname is not Sheng?" ?”

Sheng Shaoyuan patted the table, "Nizi, if you really care about your family, then split it up!"

Sheng Yao: "Is this the result that Father must first go to the second brother's house to discuss?"

Sheng Yan defended: "Stop talking nonsense, it's obvious that you don't want to see me, since you think I will be imprisoned, my father is sympathetic to your unreasonable worries! At that time, whether you will be imprisoned or I will be imprisoned Disasters are not linked to each other."

"Okay." Sheng Yao responded, "As the eldest son, I should support the two elders. I gave the ten thousand taels of silver to my father, and the second brother should return it."

Sheng Yan and Sheng Xue glanced at each other, both of them said 'I knew Sheng Yao couldn't part with that ten thousand taels of silver'.

"No need." Sheng Shaoyuan snorted coldly, "Once you leave, there will be no news for nearly ten years, how can I expect you?"

"Then how to divide the family?" Sheng Yao humbly asked.

Fang He also said: "You and I are not mother and son after all, I will follow my son, for so many years, you have been doing business abroad, and you will travel more in northern Xinjiang, I am afraid that you will not be able to be filial to your father. Now you disagree with my son's idea of ​​doing business, and you even want to go to court, if that's the case, you can separate it yourself."

Sheng Yao asked sadly: "So Father, you only want that ten thousand taels of silver, and you don't want me?"

"Without you at home, there has been no disturbance for many years. You should reflect on yourself." Sheng Shaoyuan said coldly.

"Then let's go to court." Sheng Yao stood up, straightened his sleeves, and said nonchalantly.

"You? Why is this?" Fang He was puzzled.

Sheng Yao stopped pretending, and opened the skylight to speak honestly. He still had hope, hoping that Sheng Shaoyuan would know that what Sheng Yan wanted was his own life, and hope that Sheng Shaoyuan would respond, even if it made his heart die.

"Sheng Yan used the money I gave to open a bank and cooperated with Dadezhuang. Behind Dadezhuang is Wujiabao. Wujiabao wants to get the trading rights in my hands. Why should I let him take my money and my money?" Enemies united against me?"

Sheng Yan was already prepared, "What evidence do you have?"

"I didn't, so I'm going to court." Sheng Yao was not afraid of the shadow being crooked.

"You!" Sheng Yan also stood up, he had a reliance and was fearless, "What do you want? Do you really think I'm afraid of going to court?"

Sheng Yao also knew that he had no evidence and only guessed, "Sheng Yan, if you continue to open this bank, I will be harmed by you sooner or later. Even so, you must continue to open it. You and I have become enemies, and I want you to close the bank." .”

"I will return your ten thousand taels of silver to you. My brother will settle the account clearly. You and I have no account. I will see how you go to court!"

Sheng Yao nodded, "That's right, do you need me to write for you?"

Sheng Yan went to the side and sat down at the table that had already prepared pen and ink, "After you left home, your household registration has long been moved to Nanxian County. The shop and yard in your home belong to your younger sister, and you have no property to divide. Do you have any objections?"

Sheng Shaoyuan: "Dare he?"

Sheng Yao ignored Sheng Shaoyuan, turned around and said to Fang He, "Gang'er is in my house."

Fang He glanced at the white and chubby Sheng An, his eyes were red, "After you left home, your father also thought that there was no Ganger, and there is no Ganger on the household registration..."

Sheng Yao nodded, then looked back at the paper in front of Sheng Yan, "I think you wrote it."

"As the saying goes, the tree has a big branch. Today, the Sheng family in Nanxian County, Sheng Yao and Sheng Yan brothers have disagreements in business philosophy, and the father ordered the family to separate, and each is safe.

The father thought that Ziyao lost his mother when he was young, and he performed the crowning ceremony at his mother's house, and Ziyan was always below his knees, so he separated Ziyao from the Sheng family.

Today, I accept Ziyao's ten thousand taels of silver, and the relationship between childbirth and childbearing is clear. "

Sheng Yan was overjoyed, "You really don't want that ten thousand taels of silver?"

"I'm disappointed, don't want it anymore." Sheng Yao said indifferently: "I hope that my lord father will be filial and show mercy to you."

Sheng Yan was stunned, almost thinking that Sheng Yao knew about his plan, and covered up: "What are you talking about? If you didn't wholeheartedly go to court, how could father make you separate?"

Sheng Yao turned his head and glanced at Sheng Shaoyuan. The latter helped his second son achieve his wish, so he didn't dare to look at Sheng Yao.

Qiao Zhishu looked at Sheng Yao with a calm face and pursed lips, knowing that he was sad, but he had no choice but to watch Sheng Yan write the separation papers as Sheng Yao said, the family pressed their finger prints, and Sheng Yao Yao finally bid farewell to Sheng Shaoyuan.

After they left, in the elegant room of Yifu Building.

Sheng Xue covered her heart, "Second brother, is what Qiaoer said true? Will Sheng Yao really lose his head?"

Sheng Yan recalled yesterday, when he went out, Wang Xiucai stopped him and told him to take him to see Young Master Wu. He was frightened by Qiao Zhishu's words and was unwilling to go, but Wang Xiucai said, "Your elder brother lied to you." The' was coaxed away.

After he left, Young Master Wu laughed at him for being stupid, "He really couldn't let go of the business in his hand. If he sincerely begged me to come to you for you and I benefited from it, how could he lose his head?"Second Young Master Sheng is really kind to your eldest brother, but unfortunately he doesn't appreciate it, and insists on cutting off your money. '

Sheng Yan gritted his teeth and nodded to cooperate with Wu Jiabao.

"Young Master Wu wants the trading rights of Yinye in Jiangzhou, not his head. After the family is separated, and he doesn't have to be burdened by him, Young Master Wu can rest assured to cooperate with us."

Sheng Xue breathed a sigh of relief, and asked again: "Then what did Young Master Wu tell you? What kind of cooperation method?"

"Sheng Yao would rather see me die than hand over Jiangzhou Yinye. If he doesn't take the soft ones, he can only give him the hard ones. Young Master Wu said that he bribed Mr. Futai to get Jiangzhou Yinye. Trading rights will be thoroughly investigated sooner or later, we just need to help Young Master Wu get the evidence of bribery."

Sheng Xue is competitive, and this matter was settled by Sheng Yan, she refused to accept it, but she could continue to make money, so she could only bear it, but she never thought of Sheng Yao's death.

After chasing after him, he asked again: "Is it true that you won't lose your head? Qiaoer is right, everything is damaged, and our surname is Sheng."

"So, isn't this already separating him from the family tree? Young Master Wu won't let him die. When the time comes, prepare some money and try to exile him. No one will die."

Fang He covered his youngest son's ears, his heart pounding, "Okay, let's talk about it when we get back, walls have ears."

Sheng Shaoyuan: "What are you afraid of? Isn't that what he asked for? He can also cut off his brother's fortune!"

……

Back home, Sheng Yao sat alone in the meeting hall, looking down at the separation document on the table.

Qiao Zhishu came over with dinner, "Elder Sister made meat dumplings for the Dragon Boat Festival. I heard Mao Jian said we didn't use dinner, so I reheated a few. It smelled delicious. Brother eat one."

Sheng Yao followed Qiao Zhishu with his eyes, but said nothing.

Qiao Zhishu sat down at the table in the living room and urged Sheng Yao, "Come and sit down."

Only then did Sheng Yao get up and walk over. There were not only rice dumplings on the table, but also small glutinous rice balls with distiller's grains.

"Brother can't bear it?" Qiao Zhishu asked cautiously seeing that Sheng Yao didn't move his chopsticks.

"No." Sheng Yao shook his head, "I expected the situation today, but I still don't understand why we have come to this point?"

Qiao Zhishu picked up the spoon and handed it to Sheng Yao, "Why do you want to understand? Since you know that there are fools in the world, and Sheng Yan is a fool, why do you want to understand a fool's thinking?"

Sheng Yao took the spoon and looked at Qiao Zhishu, "Say a few more words, I want to hear."

He wants to hear, know, and confirm that there are still people in this world who will think about him and plan for him.

Qiao Zhishu naturally understood, "You don't need to understand, because your father is Sheng Shaoyuan, and seeing that he clearly understands that Jiangzhou Yinye will kill you, and he still stands by Sheng Yan's side to help the evildoers, there is no need to go It's strange why Sheng Yan and you have come to the opposite situation today."

Because Sheng Shaoyuan didn't care about the life and death of his eldest son, his precious son Sheng Yan took it for granted that Sheng Yao's life was not important.

"Eat quickly, if you starve to death, who will I marry?"

Sheng Yao moved the spoon, and suddenly wanted to hear sweet words, "If I was really killed by them, what would you do?"

"Widow, what can I do?" Qiao Zhishu rolled his eyes at him, grabbed the spoon in his hand, picked up the bowl, scooped up a small ball and fed it, "You're so sticky today!"

Sheng Yao raised his eyebrows, "Why? I can't show weakness just once, how few times have I coaxed you in the past? You are so unhappy after coaxing me once."

"Okay, I was wrong! Brother Yao, open your mouth..."

Sheng Yao deliberately turned his head away to make himself petty.

Qiao Zhishu turned to feed himself, then pouted and leaned forward, "Huh?"

Sheng Yao couldn't help laughing, stretched out his index finger and scratched Qiao Zhishu's face, "Where did you learn this? Is it disgusting?"

Qiao Zhishu covered her mouth, chewed and swallowed it twice, "The girls in Yichunyuan coax the old man like this. I felt sick when I saw it for the first time."

Sheng Yao was so teased by him that he finally smiled, leaned over to kiss Qiao Zhishu, and tasted the sweetness of the fermented rice...

Qiao Zhishu couldn't dodge it, he pushed Sheng Yao with his tongue wide-eyed, didn't he say it was disgusting?

fraud.
