Rebirth of the little landlady

Chapter 226 Only the Paranoid Can Succeed

It was at this time that Mrs. Yu and Mrs. Yu, who had always had a good relationship, had a big fight. The reason was unknown to others, but Ni Yuze's mother told Ni Yuze's father later, and It was taken as a family motto and passed on to Ni Yuze's ears.

Ni Yuze said to Yuanbao, "My father told me that there is no such thing as a profitable business in this world. In order to make a huge profit, one must be willing to take big enough risks. If my grandfather had to take risks in order to save my grandmother, then when life settles down Afterwards, it’s better not to take such a risk, that’s how my grandmother persuaded my grandfather.”

Similarly, this is also the reason why the Yu family didn't follow after finding out the secret of Mrs. Yu's fortune.

Yuan Bao said quietly, "However, Mrs. Yu must not have listened."

If you listened to it, maybe Old Master Yu and even Mrs. Yu and the old master of the Yu family are still alive now. Mrs. Ni didn’t have to live so hard back then, and even the concubine didn’t have to enter the palace. The old lady should be about the same age as old lady Ni, isn't old lady Ni still alive and well now!

Ni Yuze nodded, "Yes." After a pause, he asked Yuan Bao, "Would you like to hear my grandfather's reasons?"

Yuan Bao naturally wanted to hear it.

Mrs. Yu's reasons can be summed up in two points. One is that he has gathered a group of brothers under his command since he started running the ship. Brother, there will be no source of livelihood, he is unrighteous!
Yes, the secret of Mrs. Yu's fortune is to go out to sea and sell goods.

In fact, this kind of sea trafficking has happened more than 100 years ago since Mrs. Yu participated in it, but the former emperor issued a ban on sea for some reason, so going to sea became a violation of laws and regulations. , Later, the former dynasty collapsed, and the first emperor, the founding emperor of this dynasty, maintained an ambiguous attitude towards the sea ban, making it difficult to judge the behavior of going out to sea for business.

However, under the temptation of great profits, there are always people who are willing to take risks. They first tried secretly, and seeing that no one cares about this matter, they became more courageous, and more and more people went to sea.

However, the court's attitude eventually led to the fact that the commercial fleet was not very large and could not go too far.

Mrs. Yu is quite adventurous. He became the leader of a group of people not long after he got involved in shipping. In order to gain huge profits, his ship always goes the farthest. He has been to many places that no one else has even heard of. place, as a result, he succeeded!
Even so, Mrs. Yu himself has to admit that the dangers of doing business at sea are quite great: there are storms at sea, dangerous beaches on sea routes, pirates on trade routes, extortion by officials in this dynasty, and deceitful businessmen in strange places. There are also local local snakes and the suppression and looting of various local forces... A careless one is not a question of how much money to lose, but a question of whether one's life is still alive.

Therefore, no one who lived a similar life would want to step into this muddy water——Yuan Bao quite understood Madam Yu's views on this matter!

"We should use other methods to support Mr. Yu's brothers," Yuan Bao said with a frown. "It is also possible to let them go to sea, and Mr. Yu does not go out in person. In this way, even if something happens, the compensation is only money, at least nothing to do with life." worry."

"It seems that the women's knowledge is roughly the same." Ni Yuze's evaluation, to Yuan Bao, didn't know whether it was a compliment or a derogation, but Yuan Bao didn't care.

But what Ni Yuze said later represents his personal opinion, "If you don't have that kind of experience again, you will never experience that kind of pleasure and fun. I still remember those old brothers of my grandfather who told me about their adventures. During the trip, the whole person seemed to be boiling."

Yuan Bao was silent, she could understand, but she definitely would not support it.

Ni Yuze went on to say, "Because my grandmother loves me very much, my grandfather agreed to my grandmother's request, but he added a time limit to this request, that is, after my grandfather turned 30, he would not go to sea again. On the surface, my grandfather's rhetoric was , There are too many brothers, and they are not ordinary people, they must have enough financial ability to support them..." Speaking of this, Ni Yuze paused.

Yuan Bao sighed and said, "Actually, it is he who is reluctant to part with that kind of adventure at all, just like you, no, it should be said, you have the ideal of looking around like him, and he is not reconciled to that ideal not being realized. Nah!"

Calculating now, when the concubine was born, Mrs. Yu was only in her 20s, not past the age of full-bloodedness. Impulsive and curious are really the nature of young people.

"It's almost right." Ni Yuze's voice was faint, and he was sensitive enough to hear it. Although Yuan Bao understood this matter, he disagreed with this kind of behavior. He didn't want to make excuses, he just wanted to use the facts Talking, "The second reason for my grandfather is that he was making a chart at that time, and he just wanted to finish this chart by himself, and it was not a meaningless risk."

"But an adventure is an adventure." Yuan Bao said in a low voice.

Ni Yuze didn't argue, "When my grandfather was 28 years old and my aunt was three years old, my grandfather's charts were finished ahead of schedule. He fulfilled his promise to his grandmother. Since then, he has never gone to sea again. It is his brothers. He also let them go ashore to start other businesses in the shop, but some of them were unwilling to give up the benefits brought by going to sea and continued to do this business."

This is the origin of Ni Yuze's martial arts guards and maids like Jing Ning who are good at martial arts. They are actually old master Yu's brothers or their descendants and apprentices. They are not only good at martial arts, but also good at martial arts. There are other abilities as well, serving as Ni Yuze's bodyguard is just a cameo role.

"Ah?" Yuan Bao was surprised, "Then..." Why did Mrs. Yu die?Yuan Bao was embarrassed to ask this directly, but Ni Yuze could understand it.

"Because of that chart." Ni Yuze replied quietly, "There will be competition for interests, and it will not be avoided just because you back down or even share them."

Yuan Bao remembered that Mrs. Yu, Mrs. Yu and Mrs. Yu were robbed and killed halfway. This halfway was inland, not at sea. How could Mrs. Yu bring his wife and only son with him? What about going to sea?

"Then give it to them!" Yuan Bao beat her chest and stamped her feet, she had always made a clear distinction between giving up money or giving up her life.

Ni Yuze sneered, "Of course I did, otherwise why would they silence me?!"

Yuan Bao was dumbfounded, and didn't know what to say, "This... this..." She was very sad, but also a little panicked.

Perhaps the purpose of Mrs. Yu in drawing this chart was just out of love for sailing and persistence in adventure, but no one can deny the economic value of this chart, and Mrs. Yu’s withdrawal made many people feel This nautical chart, which can no longer create economic benefits, is dusty.

At this time, Ni Yuze had already given the answer in his heart, "Actually, the fleet shouldn't be disbanded. If my grandfather didn't stop, but continued to go to sea, he would be able to meet the interests of all parties and would not attract others' covetousness. "

Yuan Bao remained silent, she couldn't figure out how to make a decision for a while.

Ni Yuze continued, "But grandma always thinks that kind of business is too risky, and she may lose most of her wealth if she fails to go to sea once. Meaning, "Actually, I think it's just that I don't have enough strength, I just want to retreat again and again."

The words Ni Yuze once advised her sounded in Yuanbao's ears again, "Yuanbao, when you hit the first new pattern, you are doomed to have no way out." Now she fully understands why Ni Yuze acted like this at the beginning It turned out that Ni Yuze's ancestors had paid a terrible price for this seemingly simple truth.

Risk always coexists with benefit, and the risk of retreating may be as great as the risk of advancing. This is the conclusion Ni Yuze drew from the experience of his ancestors. This reminds Yuan Bao of the name of a book he read in his previous life: "Only Paranoid Only Crazy Can Succeed".

So, is Mrs. Yu a success or a failure?Yuan Bao felt that she could not judge.

"If you want to do big business, money alone is not enough." Ni Yuze commented on the death of Mrs. Yu's family of three. He explained to Yuan Bao, "This is not what I said, but after the death of my grandfather, grandmother and uncle, my mother and aunt I thought of it, so my mother did not hesitate to show her face to keep the family property left by my grandfather, and tried her best to support the brothers left by my grandfather, not only supporting, but also constantly cultivating them, so that their number continued to grow. In the end, my mother agreed to share with my father. Getting married, apart from expanding the business, also has the intention of avenging my grandfather, after all, that kind of hatred is not something that can be put down just by letting it go!"

Although Ni Yuze said it very cryptically, it was not difficult for Yuan Bao to imagine that in this business competition that Mr. Yu had failed miserably, there would inevitably be collusion between the government and businessmen, or the shadow of black forces protected by the government.

Yuan Bao even asked herself what would happen to her if such a tragedy happened to her. In the end, Yuan Bao had to admit that even though she was timid and afraid of death, under such persecution and deep hatred, she would probably make the same choice !

Next is the story of Ni Yuze's father's generation. Although it happened after the Yu family stopped participating in the shipping, it was equally tragic.

The year old master Yu and the others passed away, elder sister Yu, Ni Yuze's mother, was 13 years old, and younger sister Yu, the concubine, was only five years old. Two girls of this age had to support a society where men were superior to women. One can imagine how difficult it is to be a family, so in this story, the person Yuan Bao admires the most is actually Sister Yu, Ni Yuze's mother.

Sister Yu's hard life had a turning point in her year, because Mrs. Ni came back from the capital after becoming an official, and she knew Mrs. Ni's eldest son, Mr. Ni, who was Ni Yuze's father.

Although Mrs. Ni was not allowed to take the imperial examination because of the suppression of Mrs. Ni, her stepmother, it is also true that Mrs. Ni is not in good health.

Thinking about it, I understand that when Mr. Ni was still a fetus, his mother was worried because Mrs. Ni went to Beijing to rush for the exam, and then when she received the news from Mrs. Ni’s high school, she knew that she was dismissed, and her emotions were agitated. After giving birth to Mr. Ni, she died of fetal gas and committed suicide three days later.

Afterwards, out of protection for Mr. Ni, Mrs. Ni kept him in the clan and let his servants take care of him. For such a young child who survived many ups and downs, it would be good if he could survive. How could he be in good health? ?

Just because of his poor health, Mr. Ni's marriage was postponed, and it became a matter of not being able to do what he wanted, so that when Mrs. Ni took him back to Ningnan Mansion, the second Mr. Ni was married, and he was still alone. He is a person who is over [-] years old, and Mr. Ni has retired again, so his own conditions have become even worse.

At this moment, Mr. Ni met Mrs. Yu because of his business.

Master Ni admired and pityed Sister Yu, so he always helped Sister Yu intentionally or unintentionally, and Sister Yu also repaid her kindness, so the two of them had more contacts.

Mrs. Ni, who became an official, is also an official. Besides, there is the Duke of Yongguo behind him. Mrs. Ni and the second master of the Ni family have not returned in the capital, so ordinary people still have to respect the Ni family and dare not touch them easily. If you touch it, Mr. Ni will take advantage of these influences to do business more conveniently.

And Sister Yu has been under the influence of Old Master Yu since she was a child, coupled with a group of capable brothers and a rich family background left by Old Master Yu, she also has corresponding abilities. Therefore, after Mr. Ni and Sister Yu supplemented and supported each other, the two families The business is going smoothly, but Sister Yu still dare not go to sea, because at this time, although she has found out who the murderer of her family was, she is still powerless to shake it.

At the same time, their marriage has also encountered unprecedented obstacles, and this obstacle comes from the old man of the Ni family.

In any case, the Ni family is also a scholarly family, and Mr. Ni is the eldest son, so there is no reason to marry a merchant woman, especially Sister Yu, a merchant woman, is still flawed.

First of all, Sister Yu’s mother is a prodigal woman, her background, status and reputation are very bad. Secondly, Sister Yu must have neglected her mother’s education when she was young. Showing your face outside will hurt your boudoir's reputation, not to mention everyone is a lady, even Xiaojiabiyu can't be called, the whole is a common woman from a small household!

Although they agree with each other, Mr. Ni is a person who has read books and received traditional teachings. After all, he cannot be compared with Mrs. Yu's indifference, so he can only deal with his father while trying to figure out a way. In addition, but also in every possible way to appease.

Sister Yu understands Mr. Ni's situation very well, and from the day she decided to take on the burden of the family, she thought that she might not be able to get married in her life, so she was already ready to sacrifice her personal happiness. I just hope that when the younger sister grows up, she can recruit a son-in-law to pass on the incense and family business of the Yu family, so Sister Yu persuaded Mr. Ni not to worry, let alone cause quarrels with his family because of this. Now, the business of Ni and Yu's family relies on the power of Ni's family to survive and develop.

It's just that some people don't think so. This person is the second daughter of the Yu family who is known as Yu Xiaomei, who is also the later concubine.

Yu Xiaomei not only inherited her mother's unparalleled beauty, but also inherited Yu's fiery and rebellious personality. Out of love for her younger sister, she locked her up in the inner courtyard all day long to learn some piano and chess. Calligraphy and painting, I wholeheartedly hope that Yu Xiaomei can learn to behave like a lady, and find a capable son-in-law in the future, but never think that the background of a rich family cannot be piled up by money and talent alone, among other things However, the twists and turns and scheming in the back house alone are difficult to replicate.

Seeing that the marriage between Sister Yu and Master Ni has been dragged on for no apparent reason, Miss Yu was very angry, and asked Mr. Ni to trouble him again and again, but Mr. Ni was not annoyed at all. How could Miss Yu find someone to plot against him? Resisting not to make a sound, until Sister Yu learned the truth, she couldn't stand it anymore.

"Little sister, before you get married, I won't marry anyone, even the young master of the Ni family. He is not in good health. I don't have to marry. It's just because of business that I have more contacts. You Don't make endless troubles for others, is it too easy for me to take care of the family business by myself?" Sister Yu spoke harshly, and deliberately blurred the matter between her and Mr. Ni, thinking that if this was the case, Young Sister Yu would not Will do right again with Mr. Ni.

Sister Yu understands Xiaomei Yu's personality very well, and since then, Xiaomei Yu has really calmed down, and she doesn't even need to worry about her studies. Planning, but because no suitable person appeared, this plan was only a budding idea.

Aside from other things, because of the special growth environment, the relationship between the two sisters of the Yu family is really deep, even beyond the ordinary mutual dependence. For each other, let alone abandoning life-long happiness, just die, then It is also willing.

After Sister Yu and Master Ni had known each other for several years, their marriage finally turned around because Mrs. Ni returned from the capital.

When Mrs. Ni came back from the capital, the matter between Master Ni and Sister Yu had become an open secret. At this time, Master Ni was nearly 20 years old, and Sister Yu was also in her [-]s. It's because the eldest is not young. At this time, the old man Ni is also a little anxious, and seems to understand that the elder son's words "I will never marry my eldest sister for life" were not just casually.

Therefore, when Mrs. Ni, out of revenge, gave the final word to Mr. Ni and Sister Yu's marriage, both Mrs. Ni and Mr. Ni did not intervene out of their own considerations.
