Even Mr. Tai and Manager Min had the same guess. Chen Ruiyang suddenly ran in and shouted in surprise, "Grandpa, it's the third uncle! It's the convoy coming back from the grassland!"

"Oh, are you serious?" The old man was so happy that he stood up suddenly, "They were so fast this time, they actually came back early!"

Manager Min was also happy and said quickly, "Come on, uncle, let's go pick him up, but I haven't seen my step brother for a while."

As they talked, the old man and the young man walked out. As for Mr. Tai, he had already run out carrying his pipe and pot.

Outside the yard, newly driven carriages were lined up. The hard-working horses pulling the carriages had frost on their noses and eyes. If you look closely, the horses' legs were trembling slightly.

Needless to say, everyone must have traveled day and night along this journey and endured a lot of hardships!

"Dad, Third Uncle, we are back!" Tai Jiye was wearing a thick sheepskin jacket. His body was a little dirty, and his face was blown red by the north wind. He looked a little embarrassed, but he was in good spirits. , salute the elders from a distance.

Third Master Tai helped him up and greeted him, "We're at home, why are you so polite?"

Mr. Tai looked his son up and down and asked, "How was this trip? Is everyone safe?"

"Don't worry, dad, everyone is fine. And the cashmere I received this time is the best. It is twice as much as the previous times, enough to weave a thousand sets of clothes!" Tai Jiye said loudly to show off. , like a general who returns victory after victory.

Tai Sanye's smile froze when he heard this. When Tai Jiye saw it, he murmured in his heart.

Mr. Tai greeted everyone, "Help me, help me. After unloading the car, we can go home and rest. It's warm at home. When it's time for the wives to cook, they should cook quickly. After a while, we can relax and come to our house to gather together." Let’s have a drink together.”

Everyone responded one after another, laughing and getting busy.

"Don't worry, Uncle Six, this little job will be done soon!"

"Hurry up and wait until you get home to sleep on the hot bed!"

"Haha, it's good to go home!"

Tai Jizu and Tai Jizong greeted everyone, and Tai Jiye followed the elders into the house.

Liu Dongniang was happy, so she naturally wanted to add more dishes. Yang Lihua was also busy cooking ginger soup and handed it to her brother-in-law.

Tai Jiye drank two bowls while it was hot, and then took off his sheepskin coat.

He hadn't taken a shower for many days, and he was stained with the smell of fish in the grassland. The smell was so unpleasant that everyone couldn't help but cover their noses.

Tai Jiye laughed and responded, "Don't laugh at me, that's not bad. You haven't smelled my Brother Jicai's stinky feet, they can kill people!"

After that, he naughtily approached Tai Yonglu and the other boys, causing them to scream and run to the door.

Everyone watched and laughed.

However, Tai Jiye looked around again and asked, "Where is our Zhuzhu? Is it in the backyard? I'll go wash it in a while, otherwise my eldest niece won't let me hold her."

Tai Yonglu covered his nose and responded, "My sister is not at home. She has been a guest at Mr. Wu's house for two days!"

guest?

Tai Jiye is such a smart person. He immediately felt that something was wrong. Something must have happened at home.

You must know that your little niece is a treasure in the hearts of the family. Let alone being sent to someone else's house to stay for a short time, even if you leave her for a moment, you will not worry.If something serious hadn't happened, no one would have been able to send her out!
He glanced at everyone in the room and asked immediately.

"Dad, what happened? Don't hide it from me, tell me quickly!"

Just as Tai Jizu came in from outside, his face turned red with shame when he heard this.

"Jiye, it's all because of my eldest brother that he didn't think much of your business."

Tai Jiye still didn't understand, but it didn't stop him from protecting his brother. He immediately responded, "Brother, don't say that. The business belongs to our whole family. Even if there is any loss, it's not eldest brother's fault!"

Tai Sanye was still feeling sad at first, but when he heard what he said, he slapped his thigh directly.

"Yes, this is how a family should be. The elder brother is not afraid of taking on troubles, and the younger brother knows how to protect him. This is a good sign for a prosperous family business!"

Manager Min nodded. He was willing to get close to the Tai family. Because of this, he was extremely envious of such family ties.

No matter whether life is good or bad, it is the most rare thing for a family to support each other and tolerate each other!
Mr. Tai motioned his son to sit down. Just as he was about to explain in detail, the villagers barged in and quickly filled the yard.

Tai Jicai raised his voice and took the lead in asking, "Uncle Liu, Hehua said that our cashmere workshop can no longer operate and has been robbed of its business. Is this true?"

Mr. Tai was so angry that he waved his pipe and pot. He really wanted to gouge his son's head!
It’s not that one family doesn’t enter the same house.Even if the daughter-in-law is stupid, the son is not much smarter!
It really is a pot that cannot be opened without mentioning!

Tai Jicai saw something was wrong with his father and subconsciously scratched his head, not understanding what was wrong.

Just as he was unloading the car, he became anxious when he heard his wife say.

The tribesmen were also worried about it, so they came in together to ask... It seemed like there was nothing wrong?

Tai Sanye patted his brother's arm and told him not to worry.

Then, he opened his mouth and said, "This cashmere clothing business is really good. Although our Tai family has always controlled it, there are too many people who are jealous and want to pry it off.

"Our Tai family is just a small farming family. Although there is a scholar like Yong Ning, he is just a scholar now.

"It's like a child walking in a busy city with gold in his hand, something could go wrong at any time. If the gold is robbed, at most he will lose money, or the child will be beaten to death.

"So, a few days ago, I sold the weaving method of cashmere clothes and pants to fifteen merchants. Now the cashmere clothes and pants business has become the business of the entire Tai'an County. Others just want to rob or use their ideas, and naturally Tai'an County If all the merchants bear it, our Tai family will be safe.

"And the entire Wei Dynasty, with a population of tens of millions, needs too many cashmere clothes and pants. Even if the business is distributed to the entire Tai'an, our Tai family's workshop will not be short of business and will not close down. Don't worry, everyone, go back and rest when you need to. , the workshop will continue to work tomorrow, and everyone’s wages will be indispensable!”

Manager Min spoke up to help at the right time, "Uncle is right, you don't know if you don't live in the city. Many people came to inquire about the cashmere clothes and pants business before, but I pulled them out of our master's house and stopped them. Fortunately, Yongning also passed the exam. Scholar, otherwise I'm afraid trouble would have come to your door a long time ago. After all, this business is making a lot of money every day, it's such a big piece of fat, and many people are jealous!"

Mr. Tai San also shouted to the villagers, "Everyone, please keep your heart in your stomach and do whatever you have to do. I won't lack your food money. Think about this time last winter, we were all hungry and freezing at home." Woolen cloth.

"Now that we have enough food and clothing, we are happy. Why should we be greedy? If there is work, just do it. If there is no work, just stay at home, Mao Donger! I have made less money before, and my family has no shortage of foundation!"

The tribesmen were really worried at first. After all, they were used to making money, so they felt panicked when their financial path was suddenly cut off.

Now that they heard the old man analyzing the pros and cons, and being frightened by Manager Min, and the clan leader was recalling the hardships and thinking about the sweet things, they didn't have any ideas in the first place, so they calmed down. (End of chapter)
