Chapter 027: On Business in the Hall

"Do you still have your father and his old man in your eyes?"

Su Xiuxiu looked at her younger brother, who was not angry, and said hatefully: "Last time in the Chengnan Gambling House, my father was so angry that you were sick in bed. This time you're teaming up with those people to do such dirty things. Da Lang, Da Lang, is the Su family short for you to eat or short for you to drink? Why don't you think about growing up like this, you don't do it with our family's good rice and grain, you have to do those crooked things? Do you really want to be angry with your father? ”

The more Su Xiuxiu spoke, the more tears burst out of her eyes, and she walked up to Su Li in a few steps, raised her right hand high and was about to fight.

Seeing that Su Xiuxiu's hand was halfway raised, he stopped in a daze and didn't fight for a long time. Cui Geng could see that he was scolding and scolding, and he really let Su Xiuxiu really beat Su Dalang, and he was reluctant to do so.

However, Su Li didn't dodge or dodge, and really stood in place ready to let her sister beat and scold.

This Su Li was a little unexpected by Cui Geng, but he didn't expect Su Dalang, who dared to hook up with Xue Songnian and Mei Ji and they secretly made fake wine, would actually be afraid of his sister.

At this time, Erniang leaned into Cui Geng's ear and whispered: "Erlang doesn't know, Mrs. Su died when their sister and brother were young, and the master of the Su family was busy with the business of the rice shop all day long, and neglected to take care of their sister and brother. Since she can remember, she has been taking care of her younger brother, so the two sisters and brothers have a very strong relationship. Xiuxiu is twenty-three this year, and Su Li is only seventeen years old. Although there is a difference of six years, in Su Dalang's eyes, this sister is just like her mother. In the Su family, he may not necessarily listen to his father's words, but his sister's words are definitely obedient. Hehe, Erlang, you may not know, when Xiuxiu married into our Cui family, this Su Dalang came to our Cui family with a group of domestic servants from afar, and beat your brother. It was your brother who robbed his sister...... Hehe~ I remember that your brother was beaten by his brother-in-law, and he couldn't make a hole that night......"

Speaking of this, Erniang couldn't help but cover her mouth and secretly laugh.

Rub, and this file?

After hearing this, Cui Geng couldn't help but sympathize with his unlucky brother for such a brother-in-law, and at the same time had a deeper understanding of Su Li, this kid is a typical demon king embryo of the mixed world!

At this time, he hurriedly stepped forward and pretended to be anxious to pull Su Li aside, and persuaded Su Xiuxiu: "Sister-in-law, don't be angry, it is estimated that Brother Su Li is also bewitched by others, so he did this thing with a hot head for a while." I think his nature is still pure and filial. It's all a family, so what's the wrong thing to sit down and talk about? ”

Su Xiuxiu saw Cui Geng step forward to persuade her, and her face softened slightly, because Cui Geng just gave her a step down. To tell the truth, she raised her younger brother since she was a child, and she really hasn't beaten her hands once, so she reprimanded her. For her younger brother, who has lost her mother since she was a child, Su Xiuxiu has a natural motherhood, and she can't see her brother suffering, let alone being wronged. Even when he married Cui Hao, the eldest man of the Cui family, his younger brother beat Cui Hao, Su Xiuxiu just scolded Su Li. It can be seen that Su Xiuxiu is deep in protecting Su Li's calves.

But who knew that at this time, Su Li suddenly pushed Cui Geng away violently and scolded: "Cui Erlang, you don't pretend to be a good person here." Who is your family? Less close to this young master! ”

Ouch I'll go!

Cui Geng's body stumbled slightly, and he was almost pushed to the ground by this kid, and scolded in his heart, damn, you kid is a dog, you can bite whoever you catch? Lao Tzu helped you make peace, but you scolded Lao Tzu?

Su Xiuxiu wanted to accept it when she saw it, but who knew that her younger brother was in trouble at this time, and he was immediately embarrassed, and scolded coquettishly: "Da Lang, you are presumptuous!" ”

"Yes! I just partnered with Xue Songnian and Peng Tai to make fake wine, what's the matter? ”

After Su Li glared at Cui Geng fiercely with red eyes, he shouted at Su Xiuxiu: "Now that their Cui family's Mulan Spring Wine is so famous, we are just taking advantage of the east wind to earn some silver." Besides, the wine made in imitation of their Mulan Spring is low-cost, this is a profitable business, why not? Sister, my father taught me since I was a child, business is not profit-seeking, everything is closed! Do you want me to look at a lot of silver in front of me, and instead of thinking about how to earn it, I will watch people pick up silver everywhere? Don't forget, I'm also a trader! ”

"You ......" Su Xiuxiu listened to Su Li say these words in a grand manner, and was so angry that she didn't know what to say.

At this time, after listening to Su Dalang's words, Erniang was already so angry that she opened her teeth and claws, and scolded loudly: "Okay, you Su Dalang, you actually brazenly said such things, the old lady asked you, do you still have some face?" In the final analysis, our Cui and Su families are authentic in-laws! ”

Su Li glanced at the angry Erniang, and asked with a sneer: "Have you ever seen a trader who would put his face in front of the word Li?" If you want to blame it, blame your Mulan Spring Wine for being too ostentatious and too showy, so it will naturally be remembered! As for the in-laws, hehe, you're on the point. It's not because the Su and Cui families are in-laws, I, Su Dalang, really don't make this trip to troubled waters! ”

"What do you mean?" Erniang was stunned by his last sentence, could it be that this marriage still has a feud?

"What do you mean?" Su Dalang sneered, "If it weren't for the Cui family and our Su family getting married, if it weren't for the short-lived ghost of your Cui family marrying my sister, would she have been widowed at a young age?" Hmph, this time Young Master Ben not only has to step on your Cui family to earn money, but also has to take out this evil breath for my sister! ”

Erniang: "Huh? ”

Cui Geng: "......"

Syllable!

There was a crunch.

Su Xiuxiu raised her hand angrily and slapped Su Li hard!

I saw tears in her eyes, looking at Su Dalang with a pale face, trembling her lips, and hatingly: "Who wants you to take care of my business?" Cui Su's marriage between the two families is the order of his parents, and the words of the matchmaker are not allowed for you to be a junior here? Besides, I don't regret marrying Dalang. My eldest man died young, and I don't blame anyone in the Cui family, but only blame me for Su embroidery and embroidery. Why did my sister ask you to help me get angry? Dalang, you... You're confused! ”

"You hit me? You actually beat me for an outsider? ”

Su Li couldn't listen to Su Xiuxiu's words at this time, covered his cheeks and looked at Su Xiuxiu in disbelief, as if he was very wronged, and shouted loudly: "Since I was a child, you have never beaten me once." Even when I was thirteen years old, you almost burned down the granary of our rice shop, and you were not willing to beat me. Today, you actually beat me for a person with a foreign surname? ”

At this time, Su Xiuxiu also recovered from her momentary anger, looked at Su Li with some distress, looked at her slightly reddened cheeks, and choked for a while......

"Well played!"

Suddenly, a slightly tired voice came from behind the screen in the front hall, and slowly, an old man with a sallow face walked out with the support of two maids.

"Dad, why did you come out?" Su Xiuxiu hurriedly stepped forward.

"If I don't come out again, this little beast will go to heaven!" The old man is the father of Su Xiuxiu and Su Li, and the master of the Su family, Su Youtian.

"Yo, in-laws, you are here, you can take care of your eldest son!"

As soon as Erniang saw Su Youtian come out, she immediately made a small report.

Cui Geng had some impressions of Su Youtian and met him a few years ago. Goodbye to him at this time, his body was thin, his face was sallow, and a person who had just recovered from a serious illness in his fifties looked like a man who was about to hang up in his seventies or eighties.

Su Youtian slowly walked down under the support of Su Xiuxiu, bowed slightly to Erniang and Cui Geng, and said: "The distinguished guest is coming, but the old man is sick, and he provoked this joke of the son in the front hall, and I hope to forgive the sin." ”

At this time, Cui Geng bowed slightly with the courtesy of his juniors, and said politely: "Master Su has seen the outside, and the younger Cui Jiaerlang has seen Master Su!" ”

"Oh, we haven't seen each other for a few years, when your father came to Putian to propose marriage for your brother Cui Hao, I remember that you also accompanied him, right? It's been three or two years! ”

Su Youtian glanced at Cui Geng and said, "I happened to listen to your conversation in the front hall in the back, the cause and effect, the ins and outs, and who is right and which is wrong, I know very well now." Sit down for a while, I have to discipline the little beast of the housekeeper today, and if I don't teach it, this little beast will go to heaven! ”

"Wait!"

Cui Geng suddenly stood up straight and said, "Master of the family, you have to discipline Brother Su, that is your family matter, and I, a person with a foreign surname, will not mix." But before you discipline you, I want to answer a few questions from Brother Su just now. ”

After that, he straightened up and walked in front of Su Li, and arched his hand: "Brother Su, I am a few years older than you, and I was also born in a family of merchants, if you want to talk about ridiculous things, you really can't do less than you." Today, however, I would like to correct what you just said. You say 'business does not pursue profits, everything is closed', so you think it is normal to make a profit by counterfeiting fake wine in the name of our Mulan Spring Wine, right? Then I want to tell you, 'the world is bustling, all for profit', 'business does not pursue profit, everything is closed', this is the nature of businessmen, this is true. But when chasing profits, businessmen must also have a bottom line, to do something and not to do something, a knife next to the word profit, born with each other, this truth Ling Zun should have told you, right?

Have you ever seen a century-old business in the world that has been maintained for a long time by relying on the side door? Don't talk about it from afar, just talk about your Su family. Your father has been running Su's rice shop for decades, and the rice shop branches are all over the five counties under the jurisdiction of Quanzhou Prefecture, and even Quanzhou has a Su's branch. After decades of ups and downs, the signboard is still standing. Why are you? It is nothing more than a word of sincerity. After so many years, has Su's Trek ever sold a grain of aged rice and rotten grain? Don't you know that a small amount of old rice is mixed with new rice and peddled so that ordinary people can't eat it at all? This is also a good thing, why hasn't he done it for so many years? ”

Speaking of this, Cui Geng glanced at Su Youtian and found that he was teaching his son for him, and the old guy nodded frequently.

Then he said: "Just because he knows that there are some things that can't be done, and it only needs to happen once!" At that time, the reputation of Su's rice store will be complete. When the time comes, one semicolon after another will collapse, and your family's opponents will take this opportunity to beat the Su family to the bottom again and again. But can you say that your father has been running Su's Rice Store for decades and has not made a profit? On the contrary, taking a shortcut may make you a lot of money, but taking the right path and doing business for a lifetime will make you profitable for life. So, you should understand, right? Also, what you said is that in the eyes of businessmen, the word Li is always in front of the face, I can't agree with this sentence! ”

As he spoke, he slowly paced in the hall, as if he was strolling in the court, and said calmly: "If you want to be a small businessman who is biased towards one person, your face is naturally not enough to worry about in front of the word Li. But if you want to be a real businessman who deserves the respect and respect of others, then you should pay more attention to your reputation. Just like the people in the forest, we businessmen should also cherish our feathers and cherish our reputation. For businessmen, money can only be used for a while, but fame can be used for a lifetime; Money can only benefit one generation, but fame can benefit future generations. You have to understand this truth! ”

Smack~Slap~Slap!

"Well said!"

Su Youtian broke away from Su Xiuxiu's support, couldn't help but slap his palms and applauded, and praised: "Virtuous nephew, I didn't expect the way of doing business, for Jia Zhiao, you have already won the samadhi!" The afterlife is terrible, the afterlife is terrible! Don't talk about this son, even the old man is not as good as you, teachable, taught! ”

Erniang has long been accustomed to Cui Geng's sophistry talent, and it is no longer strange.

It's Su Xiuxiu, looking at Cui Geng's eyes at this time, it has already been different from before, with a little blur in the clarity, and even a little suspicious, is this still the little uncle he knows? Is it still the loser who can't even look down on him on weekdays?

As for Su Li, with a strong prejudice, even if Cui Geng said that the sky was broken today, even if he said that the dead were alive, I am afraid that he would not listen to a single word!

"Virtuous nephew, sit down for a while!"

Su Youtian walked to Su Dalang's side and said to Cui Geng: "When the old man goes to the back hall to say a few words to this little beast, today, I will give you an explanation to the Cui family." Come in with me, son of a! ”

After that, Su Youtian pulled Su Dalang out of the front hall.

The front hall was deserted for a while, Erniang pulled Su Xiuxiu aside to talk about homely things, and Cui Geng was naturally left aside by the two women. For Su embroidery, Erniang can't talk about liking, but she can't talk about disgust. But Erniang also has some worries, that is, after a few days, Su Xiuxiu, the widow of the Cui family, will divide her existing power after returning to her in-law's house. You must know that Cui Geng is lazy by nature, Mao Bo is in charge of the accounts, and Xiao Jiu is still young, so now the internal management of the Cui family winery is basically in her hands. During this time, she was very much in a hurry with the Cui family.

Therefore, while talking about homely things, Erniang declared her sovereignty to Su Xiuxiu all the time, and at the same time hoped that she could return to her mother-in-law's house later and stay at her mother's house to take care of her in-laws' body.

About half a pillar of incense passed, and the Su family father and son walked out again.

However, unlike the atmosphere of sword and crossbow just now, the father and son are quite harmonious now, Cui Geng found that Su Dalang actually walked out with his father Su Youtian with a shy smile.

And when he and Su Dalang looked at each other, he found that this guy didn't look at each other angrily, and he smiled at his face.

That's right, it's smiling at yourself!

I'll take a look, what kind of ecstasy soup did Su Youtian pour into his son, and what kind of "smirking pill" did he eat?

Just when he was confused, he saw Su Dalang suddenly walk quickly in front of Cui Geng, bowed obediently, and then bowed with his hands: "Brother Cui, I was offended by my words just now, and I hope to forgive you!" ”

What? Call me Brother Cui? Is it a family this time? He even apologized???

Cui Geng was stunned for a moment, mistakenly thinking that he had misheard.

Immediately afterwards, I heard Su Dalang say: "I admit that this gang made fake wine with him, and it really harmed the Cui family." I'm sorry! ”

Cui Geng: "......"

Su Dalang said again: "Brother Cui, don't worry, from now on, I will no longer be involved in their dealings." And if Brother Cui wants to break their fake wine situation, what does he need me to do, just say it. But there is a sending, Su Li does not dare to disobey! ”

Cui Geng was completely confused, in just half a pillar of incense, what did the two of them talk about in the back hall?

However, one thing he knows very well is that if he wants to break the cottage wine game, he really can't miss the key figure of Su Li. Only with Su Dalang's cooperation, can his plan be completed!

Otherwise, he wouldn't have hurried to Putian Su's house with Erniang!

"It's easy to say~"

With doubts about Su Dalang's rapid transformation, Cui Geng smiled: "Brother Su is really indispensable for help this time!" I have a plan for this......"
