In the evening, Li Dalang, who was still carrying the food he bought back home, took Wang DaDa, who was also carrying oil paper bags, back to Li's house.
After dinner, everyone dispersed after talking for less than a quarter of an hour.
That night, the lights in each room of the Li family were kept burning until after the second watch.
Sister-in-law Li took out all the cash in their room and piled it on the table. Stacks of silver ingots were placed in front of them. This scene was really exciting.
Sister-in-law Li looked at the surprised Li Dalang and the calm Li Erlang and smiled and said: "This is all the money we have in this house.
What I'm telling you is that Xiaoliu is still young," Sister-in-law Li said of Xiaoliu Lang, raising her eyes to look at Xiaoliu Lang who had already fallen asleep on the couch, "It will take at least fifteen years before he grows up and needs to start a family and start a business. Year, then now our family will stay close to you two brothers. "
When Li Dalang heard this, he wanted to interrupt Sister-in-law Li.
Sister-in-law Li raised her hand to signal Li Dalang to shut up, "I know you want to separate it for Xiaoliu first. But, Hutou, think about it, Xiaoliu is the son of me and you Aye, he is just your brother.
Aye and I have not yet reached the time when we need a son to support us, so we will just slowly accumulate Xiaoliu’s share in the coming years.
In the future, you and I, Aye, have been together for a hundred years. If you two are willing to help this little brother, then help him. If you can't care about it, then that's okay.
The grandchildren here will have their own children and grandchildren, and you and I can both think about it. "
"Aniang and Aye are destined to live a long life. When my son gives birth to an official in the future, I will ask for a royal title for Aniang! "
It was Li Erlang who said this. Sister-in-law Li really didn't expect that she, a son who has been extremely smart since childhood, would still have this kind of heart.
< br>Sister-in-law Li smiled and responded: "Okay, grandma is waiting. ”
Finally, the family of four discussed keeping one-third of the money as an emergency, and the rest was invested in the business Xing Yu mentioned.
They mainly considered that in another three or four years, Li Dalang might get married and have children when he was still young;
Li Erlang was three years younger than Li Dalang. I will get a wife.”
Sister-in-law Li also felt that she should be prepared in advance. In Mrs. Li’s words: “Erlang is smart, and this official will become bigger and bigger in the future.
That’s it. Maybe Erlang will be able to marry a noble girl from Shangguan family in the future?
The first room of the Li family had unanimous opinions and there were no differences in the discussion, but the second room of the Li family had some quarrels in a low voice.
"Erlang, what should we do if we lose money?"
"Lanniang, this business is full of ups and downs. When you make money, you will naturally lose money. Where can we make sure profits without losing money every time?
If we want to invest in stocks, we have to bear this risk, which is what we should do."
Li Ersao sat cross-legged with her clothes on. On the bedside, the dim light shone on the side of her face, making it too dark to see the expression on her face.
After listening to Brother Li's words, Sister-in-law Li remembered what Father Li had said before in the main hall. She lowered her head and inserted the needle, put down the mended stockings in her hands, turned around, and most of Sister-in-law Li's face was facing where she was sitting. On the second brother Li who was scalding his feet at the round table opposite her.
After thinking about the words in her heart twice, Sister-in-law Li lowered her voice and said to Brother Li in a low voice: "But Erlang, didn't Mr. Xing tell us that he was capable? Is it possible to make a profit without losing money?
Since he said that he can make a profit without losing money, why should we bear the risk of losing money? ”
It’s burning our feet? Brother Li stopped splashing in the water. Why did he feel that he was still feeling a little cold when he was still carrying some warm water? Brother Li slowly raised his head and looked towards Sister-in-law Li. Although most of Sister-in-law Li's face could be seen from this angle, Sister-in-law Li's face was still hidden in the shadows. In fact, the expression on Sister-in-law Li's face could not be seen clearly, let alone Not to mention the look in Mrs. Li's eyes, she couldn't see anything at all.
After a few breaths, Sister-in-law Li didn't get an answer from Brother Li. She turned around and looked up at Brother Li. She saw Brother Li splashing the water twice more, then picked up a stool and put it on the side. I wiped my feet with the towel I was wearing, opened the door and poured the foot-washing water under the roots of the trees in the small yard.
After returning to the house, he sat down on the edge of the bed. Brother Li looked at Kogoro sleeping in the bed. He took Sister-in-law Li's hand and said, "Erlang?"
Always Before Brother Li could speak, Sister-in-law Li called out to Brother Li, and then Brother Li seemed to wake up from his trance.
"Lanniang, although I only taught you some common words according to the medicinal formula, and I didn't go to the academy like Sanlang and others and read according to the Four Books and Five Classics, but I don't think you are A stupid person.
What Xing Langjun means is that if this transaction loses money, he will use the Xing family's money to make up for it.
A wealthy businessman as big as the Xing family came to our house in person to talk about the investment, just like what Aye said, it was for Sanniang's sake, and besides, we saved Xing Xiaolang in the first place. Just because.
This is already a great blessing. If others want to invest in the Xing family's business, they may not even be able to meet Mr. Xing.
Although my Li family is a small family, our livelihood is not so difficult that we need to take advantage of it. "
Although Second Brother Li's words were spoken under his breath, the more he spoke, the more serious these words became in the ears of Second Sister Li.
" Lan Niang ," Putting down Sister-in-law Li's hand, Brother Li put his hands on Sister-in-law Li's shoulders, and turned her body to face him. Brother Li looked into her eyes and continued to say seriously word by word: "I, Li Wen (Li Er) Although I am just a small doctor in Chang'an City and stand in front of the medicine cabinet all day long, I, Li Wen, have a strong backbone. ”
Second Sister-in-law Li was frightened by the seriousness in Brother Li's words. She stared blankly at Brother Li, motionless.
Putting down the hand that was clamping down on Sister-in-law Li's shoulders, Brother Li turned around. At this moment, Sister-in-law Li could only see Brother Li's face hidden in the shadows.
"If you are worried about losing money, then don't take too much money out of our house.
All the money at home is in your hands, just take it as you see Let’s count.
Sanlang and Shilang are still young, let alone Xiaowu. It will take at least five or six years for them to grow up to the age where they need to marry. This family can build a business slowly. ”
Having said this, Brother Li stood up and blew out the lamp on the small table beside the bed, and the room suddenly fell into darkness.
“Go to sleep.”
Fumbling with the quilt, Brother Li got directly into bed and closed his eyes.
Seeing Brother Li acting like this, how dare Sister-in-law Li say anything more?
Second Sister-in-law Li took a few breaths and then groped for the quilt and lay down. Unexpectedly, she thought of something and tentatively reached out under the quilt to touch Brother Li's body.
The second brother Li did not refuse. He stretched out his arm to block the hand of the second sister-in-law Li and murmured: "Go to sleep."
Although there were no lights in the house of the Guo brothers who still lived in the Li family, The two brothers could chat just under the faint moonlight through the window.
"Ahem, cough, cough," Guo Sanlang, who had something on his mind, was not sleepy at all. In his ears, Guo Silang was talking to him about how prosperous Chang'an City was, how big it was, and how many people he saw. There are no fewer barbarians than in border towns.
