Xie Tingri never expected to encounter today's situation.
He really thinks he is a hero, he can and should do many things, but the family is too peaceful and there is always no room for him to develop.
The mother is gentle and virtuous, the younger sister is considerate and lovely, and the father is a bit too serious and unkind, but shouldn't the head of the family be like this? What kind of man is a man without a temper? While a little bit rebellious, he felt that if he could do better than his father, he recognized his father's performance and felt that everything should be like this.
As for the younger brother Xie Tingxing, who is still young, he suddenly has a rebellious mentality in the face of family changes. He understands that it's okay to be mischievous, and everyone will develop feelings after a long time.
It's a pity that he is busy with his studies. In order to urge him to make progress, his mother enrolls him in an academy with a famous teacher. It is far away from home. It is not easy to go back and forth, and many plans are too late. But he still believes that the future is very long, and he has Enough time to change, to take charge.
And Xie Tingyue is the only odd number in the family.
He is an adult, brought up by his former wife, and he does not accept Lin who brought the child into the house, and all kinds of resistance and provocation are not pleasing at all.
As Lin's son, Xie Tingri has seen too many tears from his mother, and listened to too many helpless advice from his mother, but what can he do, can he kill Xie Tingyue? I can only persuade my mother to get along well.
My mother is so kind and gentle, and as the days go by, she will always watch the clouds and see the moon.
But who knows how much hard work my mother has put in, this Xie Tingyue just can't teach her, she's not familiar with her!
There was a muffled sound of spring thunder in the distance, dark clouds rolled over, and the light rain began to drizzle again.
Xie Tingri felt that this rainy day was like his current mood, gloomy, embarrassing, and irritable.
Xie Tingyue's crisp and resounding 'no' almost aroused all the resentment in his heart!
"Xie Tingyue, how dare you say it again!" Xie Tingri's voice was stern, and he pointed to the place beside him, "Get out of here!"
Xie Tingyue still replied firmly: "No."
But this time he had an extra look at the movements of Xie Tingri's feet, and gave a very sincere reason: "It's too dirty."
Xie Tingri looked down at his feet.
It was... very muddy, and his shoes barely showed their original color.
But no matter how he feels that this sentence is a bit wrong, it seems that he is not only talking about this place, but also attacking him.
dirty!
Xie Tingri was so angry that he jumped up and pointed at Xie Tingyue's nose and scolded: "A dignified man of seven feet, he doesn't know his father is kind, his son is filial, his brother is respectful, his brother is respectful, and he doesn't know how a gentleman is upright and upright. Have you read your book into the stomach of a dog! How dare you tell me your brother Who gave you the guts to be so presumptuous in front of you! Do you still want to be famous?"
Xie Tingyue looked at the furious Xie Tingri, and felt very strange for a while. No wonder Mrs. Lin guarded her son tightly and never let Xie Tingri step forward to participate in the struggle. Was it because she was afraid of bad things and shame
It's a pity that such a smart and ruthless person gave birth to such a son.
As his thoughts turned, Xie Tingyue looked at Xie Tingri with pity gradually, always feeling... this person's future is hazy, not because of himself, he is afraid that he will be caught by the "overthinking" and "do everything for his son" ''s troublesome mother ruined.
The Xiao family members who were watching from the side also looked confused. Isn't this... something in our Xiao family? How did it become someone else's brothers fighting among themselves
Miss Rou also opened her small mouth slightly, she forgot to even cry, with an incredulous expression on her face.
Over there, Xie Tingri saw that Xie Tingyue didn't talk back, and thought that the other party was afraid, so he became even more aggressive: "Thinking that everything will be fine if you get married, and because the Chu family values it, we can't deal with you? I tell you, don't even think about it. Brother, I will teach you now for father—”
While cursing, he rolled up his sleeves aggressively.
Before Xie Tingyue had any reaction, Chu Mu understood.
He smiled slightly, raised his hand and snapped his fingers, signaling Qin Ping to come forward.
Qin Ping has always understood the mind of his master, especially when he was protecting his wife, he crossed his hands in an instant, "papapapapapa" - the joints pressed made a loud sound, coupled with the imposing gait, the fighting style is obvious but.
Xie Tingri stopped in his tracks immediately, his face flushed red, like a cock being strangled, he made no sound, he couldn't even breathe.
Under everyone's gaze, this elder brother, who was aggressive one moment and wanted to teach others a lesson, stopped suddenly the next moment, covered his face and backed away until he reached the back, firmly blocked by the crowd.
everyone: …
Even more confused.
Is this man insane or hysterical
Before the others moved, he covered his face and pretended to be in pain. Was he sure that others would slap his face
The key point is that you are not very arrogant, but you are very straightforward? So back, where's the face
Everyone started booing 'shh'.
Xie Tingri was afraid of being beaten, so he stayed behind and pretended to be dead, so he didn't show his head.
Others don't know, but he has experienced it personally, that Chu Mu really dares to disrespect big brother-in-law! That Qin Ping really hurts when he beat someone up!
Xiao Yunfeng was different, he was stunned for a moment when he heard the word Chu family.
Xie Tingyue has been watching Xiao Yunfeng carefully, although the change in the other person's expression was only for a moment, he was still caught by him——
It seems that the other party is very sensitive to the surname of Chu, and will never be unaware of it.
"Sorry for the trouble," Xie Tingyue stepped forward and introduced herself generously, "My surname is Xie, the second in my family, and my name is Tingyue. This is my husband, the young master of the Chu family in the capital, Chu Mu."
Chu Mu had a dignified manner, and greeted with a smile: "I'm new here, I'm taking the liberty to bother you, please forgive me."
"Xiao Yunfeng, you are the Patriarch of the Xiao Clan." Xiao Yunfeng nodded, and his eyes quickly turned around Chu Mu and Xie Tingyue.
There is observation, but also deliberation.
There is even tension, beware.
Xie Tingyue believed even more that the other party was thinking. But he didn't care, since he had a plan in mind, he just followed it.
He took a step forward, standing elegantly, with clear eyes, confident and peaceful: "Actually, in my opinion, your quarrel is very unnecessary and easy to resolve."
Xiao Wenshu on the side suddenly became anxious: "Which onion are you! It's not up to outsiders to intervene in my Xiao family's affairs!"
He can't be in a hurry, this person spoke to Xiao Yunfeng as soon as he stood up, he definitely wanted to help Xiao Yunfeng suppress him!
Miss Rou coquettishly and timidly pulled Xiao Wenshu's sleeves: "It hurts you so much, cousin, don't be angry, there is always something to say about today's matter..."
Xie Tingyue glanced past Miss Rou, and smiled meaningfully: "It seems that there are quite a few outsiders who want to talk today."
Xiao Wenshu blushed immediately, and blamed Miss Rou for dismantling his stage, she shook off Miss Rou's hand: "Stand aside! There is no place for you to talk here!"
Miss Rou is a delicate girl. When she encounters this kind of situation, don't she have to cry
It's a pity that Xie Tingri was afraid of being beaten, and had already retreated to the back just now, so he could no longer be a flower protector.
Xiao Yunfeng was very straightforward, he cupped his hands at Xie Tingyue: "Brother Xie, if you have any opinions, you might as well speak up."
"I just listened to it. The two of you are arguing about the necessity of 'transferring the silkworm eggs'. The owner is worried that the weather will be different, and there may be disasters, so he advocates the transfer. The current owner of the silkworm eggs, Mr. Xiao, thinks that the owner of the silkworm eggs is worrying about the sky. The sex is small, and I don't agree to the transfer, but that's it?"
Xiao Wenshu nodded: "That's right!"
Xie Tingyue continued: "Silkworm eggs are delicate, so they must be damaged if they are transferred. The head of the family knows this well. If they don't transfer them, there is a possibility that they will be completely wiped out by natural disasters. Can Young Master Xiao admit it?"
Xiao Yunfeng nodded: "That's right, there must be damage in the transfer."
Xiao Wenshu also nodded: "It is true that there is a possibility of complete destruction in case of disaster, but this possibility is very small!"
"Then let me ask one last question." Xie Tingyue smiled to stop the other party's excitement, "These silkworm eggs will be sold after they are raised, right?"
Xiao Wenshu felt that this question was asked strangely: "Why don't you sell it and keep it? Have a baby!"
Xie Tingyue spread her hands: "So this problem is easy to solve, now it's sold."
Xiao Wenshu stared: "Sell now?"
Xie Tingyue: "The two of you are firm in your own judgment, and the direction of risk estimation is completely opposite, but you agree with the existence of risk. If this is the case, why not solve it in a way that everyone likes and redistribute this risk?"
"Great Power Economy" mentioned a concept - futures.
Whenever doing business, you have to bear certain risks. Some people don’t like this kind of risk because they are risk-averse, and some people like this kind of risk because they are risk-loving. Different personalities have completely different choices when doing business .
And buying and selling this kind of futures does not reduce the risk itself, but redistributes the risk. Those who are risk-averse would rather lose a little, and try to preserve their capital now in exchange for stability. Those who are risk-loving are optimistic about the future trend, winning is a big win, and losing It is a big loss, but both kinds of people enjoy it. There is no such thing as who must be right and who must be wrong, who is nobler than the other, and who is smarter than the other.
The quarrel between Xiao Yunfeng and Xiao Wenshu this time is not the same as the futures in the book, but there are similarities, Xie Tingyue simply put forward his own suggestion.
"The current value of an asset is the discounted sum of your income expectations for the asset. Mr. Xiao recognizes the existence of risks. The price cannot be set too high. The owner thinks it is reasonable. There will be room for appreciation in the future, so you can buy it. After the silkworm eggs are traded on the spot, the owner of the silkworm belongs to the owner, so the transfer is entirely up to the owner. After the silkworm eggs are discounted, the future income, whether it rises or falls, is also borne by the owner, and Mr. Xiao has no right to ask."
After Xie Tingyue finished speaking, the scene suddenly became quiet.
Xiao Wenshu thought about it, and felt that it would not be a loss if he sold it now. Silkworm rearing is a delicate job that requires a lot of energy. He is busy with his studies, so many things cannot be personally supervised and taken care of, and he is not allowed to transfer them. Apart from antagonizing Xiao Yunfeng, another point is that he is lazy and thinks that the other party is worrying about others. Also a little worried.
If you sell it now, you can get the cash right away, and you don't have to spend your own money and think about waiting for the harvest, and lose all Xiao Yunfeng's income, why not
And he was also worried that if he was too strong, the other party would directly exercise the power of the patriarch and suppress it forcibly.
No matter how you think about it, it's a good idea.
Xiao Yunfeng has no objection, he does not lack this money, and the weather will change, which will cause losses and also bring special opportunities, the price of silk this year will definitely rise. As the head of the clan, with a stable position, Xiao Wenshu's provocation was completely ignored by him, but he couldn't care about it, which was a bit annoying, and if the other party really decided to sell, it was just resolved.
"Okay, I'll sell it!" Xiao Wenshu thought for a while before giving a price.
Xiao Yunfeng didn't feel embarrassed, he agreed right away, but the money—"I want to pay in installments."
The first payment and the final payment are settled once in February, which together span the entire growth period of silkworm eggs.
Xiao Wenshu was a little reluctant, but Xiao Yunfeng said that he could make a deed and write it clearly in black and white, so he agreed.
Xie Tingyue also understood Xiao Yunfeng's behavior, she still wanted to protect her clansmen, worried that all the money would be spent on Xiao Wenshu, so she saved some money for him.
The two traded on the spot, and as for the silkworm seeds - they were immediately transferred by Xiao Yunfeng's people.
In this peaceful atmosphere, amidst the increasingly heavy rain, the quarrel that was so violent ended peacefully.
Xiao Yunfeng looked at Xie Tingyue differently.
Just a face-to-face meeting, a few words, the wisdom and structure, methods and behavior shown to him by the other party are quite amazing!
It's rare for others to be sincere, and it's like a spring breeze to get along with each other.
This person can be handed over!
Everyone in the audience couldn't help but look at Xie Tingyue in unison, who is this young master! So good!
Chu Mu raised his chin slightly, he was too proud, as if he was the target of everyone's praise.
At this moment, his wife seems to be shining!
Qin Ping has already opened a paper umbrella.
In the hazy green bamboo color, Chu Mu remembered what Xie Tingyue said before.
Love is rare in the world, warm and noble, money is cold and ruthless, but sometimes talking about money is much more useful than talking about feelings, too many things, facilitated by transactions, will not hurt feelings.
Lady's thoughts and actions, character and views,
Always so cute, frank, stunning, and... damn heart-wrenching!
"Wonderful!"
A female figure approached in the distance, with sincere applause and a happy smile: "Mr. Xie's family is really a good talent!"
Xie Tingyue looked sideways, and saw a beautiful woman, wearing a fiery red pomegranate dress, wearing a lady's bun, in her prime, with a graceful posture, her beautiful eyes were full of surprise and admiration.
As for who this astonishment and admiration is for, it goes without saying.
Xie Tingyue even felt the interest in the other party's burning eyes, it was different from ordinary people, the last time I saw this kind of eyes was on Qi Wenhai.
This is the taste of having the same experience and interest. This woman must also have extraordinary insights into business affairs!
"Sorry I'm late, but it seems to be all right?"
The woman was amazed by Xie Tingyue for a moment, and then she turned into a gentle and gentle little woman, her eyes never leaving Xiao Yunfeng.
"En." Xiao Yunfeng still didn't say much, but when his eyes touched her, his eyes softened obviously.
The two didn't have more communication, no more intimacy, but the lingering eyes, the charming atmosphere, the sense of distance, and the sense of harmony between the two when they got along gave people a sense of intimacy more than real intimacy.
Blind people can also see that the two people are deeply in love with each other, and they are very close to each other.
The identity of this woman is about to be revealed.
Hang Qingxi, Xiao Yunfeng's wife.
Xie Tingyue didn't know where to put his eyes for a while, and obviously the other party didn't make any intimate moves, he felt that the sweetness was too sweet, and he blushed uncontrollably.
With a warm palm, Chu Mu shook his hand.
"so envious."
The touch of this hand was extremely real, and the nails even gently scratched the palm of his hand.
Xie Tingyue blushed even more.
Chu Mu: "Obviously we can do it too."
The voice was full of resentment.
Xie Tingyue crossed his eyes at him fiercely: "Shut up! Don't say any more!"
The two of them were joking, while Hang Qingxi was also whispering to Xiao Yunfeng: "... I am doing the same thing as Mr. Xie, but it's not as good as what he summed it up. He is really a smart and transparent person... "
Xiao Yunfeng nodded: "He's a good friend."
When Xiao Wenshu was making trouble, he didn't feel embarrassed, he was very righteous and confident. Now that the matter is settled and the money has been obtained, he was rather cramped and hesitant to leave.
Miss Rou followed him, frowning and biting her lips, she was really delicate.
The crowd dispersed, Xie Tingri revealed his figure, and slowly fell behind Miss Rou.
Hang Qingxi looked ridiculous: "I came a step late. Fortunately, the matter has been resolved. You can take care of yourself in the future. Don't be soft-hearted and make mistakes. People's patience is limited, and no one is like your mother I will revolve around you for the rest of my life, helping you clean up the mess over and over again."
At the end of the voice, his eyes fell on Miss Rou and Xie Tingri and turned around. What does it mean, couldn't be more obvious.
Miss Rou wanted to lose face, she bit her lip, and tears fell down: "Ma'am, what are you talking about? It's obvious that you bullied my cousin, and you will definitely regret it in the future!"
Hang Qingxi laughed out loud: "Who will regret it, let's wait and see."
The scene cleared up quickly, and the rain gradually increased. Hang Qingxi invited Xie Tingyue and Chu Mu to sit at home on behalf of her husband. Xie Tingyue and Chu Mu naturally agreed, and this was the purpose of their visit this time.
Hang Qingxi was very enthusiastic. He called his servants to arrange a room, prepared hot water for the two to wash, and quickly asked someone to cook a table of delicious dishes. Xiao Yunfeng went out for a while, I made arrangements for the rest of the affairs, and then went home to entertain guests.
The rain is getting heavier.
Xie Tingyue and Chu Mu cleaned up, and when they walked to the flower hall of Xiao's house, the rain outside the corridor was pouring down, and even their vision was blurred.
A table was set up, with food, wine, and hot soup. The few people exchanged greetings first, talked about the north and the south, and filled their stomachs by the way, deepening their familiarity with each other, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
After the meal was over and tea was served, I just tentatively turned to the main topic.
Chu Mu played the role of a quiet and elegant patient. He didn't talk much, but he was very clingy to his wife and had to glance at her from time to time. Xie Tingyue was more straightforward, holding the teacup in his hand, and went straight to the point: "I guess—Patriarch Xiao can probably guess my intentions .”
Xiao Yunfeng is a straightforward person, he said: "Yeah." But he has a question, "How much do you know about your ancestors?"
Xie Tingyue and Chu Mu looked at each other and shook their heads sincerely: "To be honest, I don't know at all."
Xiao Yunfeng paused, lowered his eyes: "That will be difficult."
After all, the room was quiet, and the atmosphere seemed awkward.
The hostess, Hang Qingxi, held the pot to refill tea for everyone, her smile was as enthusiastic as the pomegranate skirt on her body: "We are in a remote village, and we really don't know much about the distinguished guests in the capital. The two live in the capital, do you have a connection?"
Xie Tingyue paused for a moment, then put down the teacup: "Don't dare to hide anything, this blue surplus cloth is my property."
"Mr. Xie is amazing!" Hang Qingxi's eyes lit up, "I wonder if we can consider selling goods outside? Our place is small, Suzhou and Hangzhou are not small, and there is a love of beauty in small places, right?"
Xie Tingyue smiled: "Currently limited raw materials, production has not been able to increase, but we can talk about it in the future."
"Then don't forget about us!"
"nature."
"Young Master Chu seems to be in poor health. I'm afraid he won't be able to withstand the cold?"
"Well, it's okay to take care of it."
"My husband has traveled far and wide, and I don't know many important people, but he has a wide range of people. There are a few good husbands who are really good. If the two of you don't mind, I invite them to come and see a doctor for you?"
"Thank you so much."
…
Hang Qingxi was enthusiastic, Xiao Yunfeng was steady, and his speech was full of tacit understanding. Xie Tingyue and Chu Mu didn't feel the slightest sense of neglect.
But they also know that it is not so easy to trust each other when they meet by chance. The other party will not immediately pour beans into the bamboo tube to make things clear. The temptation is understandable.
The other party's careful consideration is actually a sign of importance.
Xie Tingyue and Chu Mu understood, so they simply didn't hide it, and showed it clearly to the husband and wife.
To deal with villains, use wisdom; to deal with gentlemen, use straightness.
The atmosphere was going in a good direction, and it seemed that there would be a qualitative improvement. Suddenly, "Boom—" a very scary voice came from a distance.
Not Ray.
The thunder in the distance must have sounded muffled. Although the sound was far away, it was very loud, and the ground seemed to shake along with it.
wrong!
has a problem!
Xiao Yunfeng immediately stood up: "I'll go out and have a look!"
As a result, as soon as he stepped onto the veranda, a figure came over from outside: "The Patriarch is dead! The mountain to the north has collapsed!"
The entire Xiao family clan lives by the mountains, and they rely on the mountains to the north and east. What if the mountains collapse? Not to mention the entire house, the clansmen will all suffer!
"Don't worry," Hang Qingxi walked out with his skirt in his hands, his eyebrows were solemn, "Tell me what's going on? Where did it collapse? At the foot of the mountain or on the side of the mountain? Where exactly? How did it collapse?"
The reporter swallowed his saliva: "At the bottom of the mountain, it seems that the cave inside has been broken, and the water is pouring out. Now we are pouring madly here. We are afraid that our position will suffer!"
Xiao Yunfeng: "Have all the things that should be transferred been transferred?"
"Fortunately, the patriarch's previous death order, important things have been transferred to a higher place in the past few days." The reporter looked at Xiao Yunfeng with admiration, but fortunately, there is the patriarch's foresight!
Xiao Yunfeng: "Split up immediately and take all the clansmen to the east mountain. You are not allowed to bring any belongings, just for speed!"
"yes!"
After the messenger left, Xiao Yunfeng still frowned, and said to his wife, "Follow them up the mountain first, I'll go outside and have a look, and I'll be back later."
Hang Qingxi touched his father's face: "You just go, I... I'm fine, I'll wait for you safely."
It could be seen that she was very worried and reluctant, but in the end she touched Xiao Yunfeng's face and stopped talking.
After Xiao Yunfeng left, she immediately asked people to gather the servants and leave together!
But Xie Tingyue and Chu Mu are still there, she is responsible for someone in the family, she has to wait, but others don't have this responsibility: "You two—"
"Madam is busy with herself, don't need to take care of us, we will leave now, we will meet later!"
It's not that you don't want to share weal and woe with the other party, but that it's difficult to communicate with each other. What should you do if you see the other party's secrets? Let others guard against it? What should I do in case something happens to you
Xie Tingyue and Chu Mu didn't bring many people with them, and they thought they couldn't help much, so it was fine not to make trouble for each other.
As for the hiding place, just now Xiao Yunfeng also said that it is on the east mountain.
Hang Qingxi was grateful for the other party's thoughtfulness, and was also a little ashamed of the family affairs, so he quickly sent a few young men to protect them: "Go to Dongshan, there is our Xiao family's ancestral home!"
Xie Tingyue and Chu Mu thought they were ready, but they went outside and saw the purgatory on earth.
