take a wife to support the family

Chapter 114 Please Trust All Beings

The news spread that Song Haonian was choosing a buddy for the silk shop, all the people from all over the world intended to send their family members to the silk shop, and they all came to give Song Haonian gifts or treat him to a drink.

Song Haonian couldn't figure out where the news got out, his daughter-in-law was strict, she definitely wouldn't talk nonsense, and he himself was picking people up coldly, so he hadn't told anyone yet, so they were the only ones in the town who knew about it, so they wouldn't There was a fifth person who heard it, how does everyone know it now?
He has lived for more than 20 years, and this is the first time he has been so sought after by people. He is not in a high mood, but feels panic: "I used to have no benefits, and it is common sense that others don't like me. But now I don't have any benefits. Just because I can introduce the silk and satin shop, everyone wants to praise me to the sky..."

Lily smiled and said, "It's not just you, but when I went to the street these two days, people praised me like a fairy in the sky!"

Song Haonian said with a smile: "My wife is better than a fairy."

The two of them were joking and joking, but they were worried about these personal requests, not to mention that Song Haonian didn't dare to go out on the street, even Lily didn't want to go out.

Song Haonian wanted to find a buddy for Chen Bin, and it was impossible for him not to go out and deal with people, and it was a real headache for a while.

If she followed Lily's idea, she would gather those individuals together, test them with a few questions, and select the smartest and most capable ones in front of the big guys, so as to silence everyone.

Song Haonian said: "It was a good idea, but it was too mean." The boy had to be selected from young people. What kind of battle did the children in the countryside go through?
Some of them were so frightened that they would cry when they entered the city, let alone test them in front of so many individuals?Not to mention them, even Song Haonian also had some frightening scenes.

At that time, if you can't pass the test, just let people say that the husband and wife are uneasy and kind, and they deliberately make people look ugly, which is not very good.

Lily was not annoyed when the plan was rejected, and even smiled and praised Song Haonian: "You are thoughtful." She has been a teacher for several years, and she wanted to take the test for everything, but she forgot whether the candidates for these boys were Students, according to her examination method, it is difficult to find suitable people.

In the past few days, the husband and wife thanked the guests behind closed doors, and refused to accept any gifts that came to the door. Even if someone inquired, Song Haonian only said that he was still looking at the children. Just an errand.

People have the same psychology, if they get a small profit, they often have to publicize it to the whole world; if they really pick up a rare treasure such as a night pearl, they dare not announce it, and they have to hide it secretly to appreciate it.

The people in the town guessed Song Haonian based on this idea.

If he boasted nonsense, saying that he and a wealthy businessman from other places were relatives or brothers, and that he had a way to send his children to work as employees in silk and satin factories, people would not believe him, they would only think he was bragging.

He said that he was only running errands, but others didn't believe it: the rich businessman took gifts to Song's house in a car, but anyone who opened his eyes could see it.Song Haonian went to the county town, lived in a Tianzi shop, ate delicacies from Zuixianlou, and went out in tall horse-drawn carriages... These things have long been spread in the town, and everyone believes that Song Haonian is really good friends Luck, to make a fortune.

The more low-key Song Haonian was, the more they felt that Song Haonian had benefited greatly, and the more eagerly they flattered him.He went for a walk in the street, and when he came back, his face was always flushed—ashamed.

Those gossips on the street became more and more outrageous, and now some people say that he was not born by Niu Shi, but his own father and brothers have found him and asked him to go back and inherit the family business.

Some people also said that he was the owner of the silk and satin shop, so he was the one who decided on the staff.As for the capital to open the silk and satin shop, where did it come from?A pot of gold was dug out of the ground while repairing the house!
A sentence that comes out of one person's mouth enters another person's ear, and then changes its appearance as soon as it is said to the next person. The gossip becomes more and more bizarre. Many people swear: "I saw it with my own eyes!"

"I heard what his sister said!"

"My aunt is his neighbor. My aunt said that one day my little brother saw it..."

……

There are so many different things.

Three people make a tiger, everyone talks about gold, so many people say that even Song Haonian can't help but believe that he dug out a pot of gold when he was repairing the house, let alone others?
Someone from the group of brothers who helped repair the house at the beginning also became suspicious, and came to ask: "Brother Da Nian, really? I work every day, why didn't I see it?"

"Yeah, you work with me every day, why didn't you see where I dug up a pot of gold?" Song Haonian angrily tapped the little brother on the head, "Why don't I know that I have a pot of gold?" Father Qian, do you have a conscientious brother who is not afraid of me fighting for the family property, and a pot of gold? Outsiders will know!"

The little brother went away with a smile, and others came to ask, even Liu Yi and Song Dagui came together, with a puzzled look on their faces: "Da Nian, are the rumors true?"

Song Haonian didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It's fine if others don't believe me, why don't you believe me!" As he said that, he wanted to drag two people into the room, "Look for it, if you find it, the gold is considered a big guy."

Liu Yi hurriedly grabbed him: "What are you in a hurry for!"

He just listened to those people outside who had a nose and eyes, so he came to ask and get suspicious.

Song Haonian said: "Brother Chen is the nephew of Uncle Wang who we rescued a few years ago. You know that he went to your house to give gifts. He is rich, but he can't give us his property to outsiders like us. The satin and silk are quite expensive, I have never seen money in my life, and I am still thinking about plotting other people's property?"

Song Dagui smiled and said: "We know your character, but we heard that it was not good, and we were afraid that you would go astray. Now it seems that you think more clearly than us and walk in a correct way, so we can rest assured."

Only then did Song Haonian laugh: "Let others say whatever they want, as long as we brothers don't suspect me."

Liu Yi and Song Dagui looked at each other, "You don't accept gifts from others, you don't eat wine from others, our two elder brothers treat you to wine, do you want to eat?"

They also have relatives and nephews, and they all want to find a good future. They have ready-made relationships, and they always want to give it a try.

Song Haonian said: "We brothers want to drink, we can do it at any time in the future, but not at this time. If there is any clever boy in your family, he should be able to read, bring them here and let me have a look."

Both righteous brothers said: "We know that you are not having a good time recently, and you are willing to say this to us. We all remember your affection. It's just that children who can read are rare, and there are a few who can read. They are all sent to the school to hope to win fame and honor their ancestors, how can they be willing to be buddies."

Song Haonian also knows this. Scholars are noble, who would be willing to be an apprentice who serves others inside and out after being educated?He had no choice but to sigh: "If you can't read, it's okay to be extra smart. If you don't know a single character like me, you're stupid, so you can't explain it to Brother Chen."

Liu Yi laughed and said, "Smart children do exist, but how smart do you want them to be? If you want younger siblings, that's absolutely impossible."

Song Dagui clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Well said, if you want younger siblings like that, you might as well find those who can read and write, we don't have any in our family!"

"Hey, now it's time for me?" They spoke loudly, and they were familiar with each other. Lily didn't shy away from it, and called out from under the window of the east chamber, "Show me again, I don't have any food for you today!"

Liu Yi laughed hurriedly: "How do you arrange you? We are just praising you. Ordinary people can't compare to you."

Song Dagui chimed in: "That's right, brothers and sisters, let's hurry up and cook, our stomachs are full of gluttons."

Lily smiled and went to the kitchen to cook, Liu Yi and Song Dagui had eaten, they both said that they went back and told their relatives to pick a few smart children to call Song Haonian.

As soon as they left, others saw the way clearly: Song Haonian could close the door and not let others in, but he had to let in the brothers who were in trouble with him.

Qingliu Town is so big, everyone is relatives who turned around, some of them turned to beg Liu Yi and Song Dagui for a while, some came to Song Haonian through Liu Sanping, Wang Xiaofu and others, and still blocking him on the road...

But not everyone is keen on this matter, for example, Xiaoxiucai's family was very disgusted, and Liu Rulong said: "Scholar, farmer, businessman, businessman is the last class, it is his owner's smell of copper and I despise him, let alone a boy."

His aunt wanted to save his face and bypass Song Haonian and go directly to the county seat to intercede with Chen Bin. Unexpectedly, after Xiao Xiucai said such a thing, his face turned red and then turned pale, and he walked away embarrassingly, thinking: "This nephew If it's not reliable, I'd better ask Song Haonian to be reliable."

Song Haonian thanked the guests behind closed doors, and the little scholar went around saying that Song Haonian was so ambitious, with his tail sticking up to the sky, that he was a complete villain, yet some people believed him.

Hearing that Xiao Xiucai arranged himself everywhere, Song Haonian had no choice but to let it go with a smile--what does he have to care about with such a fool?
It's a little scholar, seeing that the words he compiled were spread everywhere, but those who spread the rumors spread bad things about Song Haonian, and at the same time, they continued to ask for connections to give favors, begging Song Haonian to send their children to the county to work .

Xiao Xiucai was so angry that he felt deeply that people's hearts are not the same now that the world is getting worse. These unscrupulous people no longer respect their scholars, and they don't pay attention to the laws of scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen. Righteousness of the world.

This little scholar is dreaming of being the chief minister of the cabinet, but he doesn't know that his aunt has already sent a cousin to Song Haonian to read a few words for the child, and Song Haonian has promised to take him with him in two days Go to the city to see the big shopkeeper, and take a final test. If you can succeed, you will sign a contract and stay to work.

If he knew about this, the young scholar's wish would probably change. He would temporarily give up his high position as the chief assistant of the cabinet. He would first go to the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and even the Jinyiwei, and arrest and torture Song Haonian first. If he is angry, the old man can go back to govern the country with peace of mind.

After ten days of fuss, Song Haonian finally picked out seven or eight smart children, the oldest one was seventeen or eighteen years old, and the youngest one was only 13 years old. Don't worry, you can follow along.

Only then did Lily breathe a sigh of relief: "I see you have been busy for the past two days."

Song Haonian just smiled: "Daughter-in-law, why don't you trust me?"
