Chapter 641: wealth

After breakfast, Li Haitang was drinking tea, and Wu Fu circled around, hesitating to speak.

"Wufu, what is that expression on your face? Tell me what you have to say."

Li Haitang put down his teacup, raised his head and glanced at Wu Fu.

"Madam, I just think you look very good-looking today."

Wu Fu looked sincere, and his wife looked in a good mood, with a faint smile on her mouth, it is estimated that the food and grass were resolved, and the wife could relax a little.

"Pretty good? Is there any?"

Li Haitang stood up and went to the dressing table to look in the mirror. Not to mention, wearing the red coral hairpin, her complexion was pink and her skin was like a peach blossom. No wonder Wu Fu said she was pretty.

While the master and servant were talking, Ma Bihe came in from the door with a haggard complexion and blue-gray under eyes.

"Bihe, it's cold, you should wear more clothes, a woman's body is cold, but it will cause many diseases."

Li Haitang knew that Ma Bihe was worried about Master Ma, but she had no choice but to do regular acupuncture and massage, and then wait for a miracle.

Things will no longer develop in a worse direction, and now we can only relax our minds and don't tighten one string too tightly.

"Haitang, I'm not here because of my father."

Ma Bihe shook her head, her eyes were bloodshot, she knew that everything her father did was self-inflicted, but as a child, she really couldn't blame her parents, and she didn't have the face to beg Li Haitang to find a solution.

Fortunately, apart from being unconscious and ignorant, Daddy is still alive, so she doesn't want anything else.

After she came home last night, she searched for the key of her father, Master Ma, and finally found the mechanism in the secret compartment next to the bed. After entering the secret room, she was dumbfounded.

"Our Ma's business is good, and we have several shops in Kyoto."

Speaking of this, Ma Bihe paused. As the richest man in the border town, the Ma family needed money the most.

Ma Bihe was taken to the secret room once when she was a child. She was still young at that time, so the impression was not so deep. That is the place where the family hides treasures, antique porcelain, screen calligraphy and paintings, jewelry, and piles of gold and silver objects.

She went into the treasure place again, and was astonished. There were only a few broken pieces of porcelain inside, chipped and worthless, and only a box of silver was left, and the rest was gone!

The person who went to the treasure place with her was an old shopkeeper of the Ma family, and he was also the most respected person in the family besides father.

When the old shopkeeper saw it, he was even more surprised than her. Everything was gone!

"Could it be that Master Ma changed places?"

This is not impossible, at least for a period of time, Master Ma planned to take the whole family to the capital, just to avoid the flames of war in the border town.

"If my father changes places, there is still a possibility of finding him."

Ma Bihe's lips were dry and cracked. The moment she spoke, her lips were cracked and blood dripped out. She stretched out her tongue and licked it, with a sad expression on her face.

"You drink some water to warm yourself up first."

Li Haitang asked Wufu to pour water, then went to the medicine box and took out a box, which contained honey cream she made herself, which was applied on her lips to moisturize and prevent cracks.

"Haitang, the old shopkeeper said that less than 10% of the things in the house are left."

After Ma Bihe finished speaking, her body felt as if she had been hollowed out. She took over the family business in the open, but apart from Yue Hetang, she didn't see a single account book.

The family's business has been abnormal since last year. Her father, Mr. Ma, often goes to the shop to withdraw money.

"The old shopkeeper told me that I just found out that the shop at home has not received any stock for a long time, especially the jewelry silver shop. The master left three times."

Good craftsmen are hard to find. Ma's shop has raised craftsmen for several years. When they get good jade materials, they take them and carve them into jade pendants and hairpins. They sell them at a high price, and some of them are supplied to shops in Kyoto.

There are no new products at home, and what is sold is all stock, and some things are basically disposed of at a loss.

Ma Bihe knew a little about these things. At that time, he thought that his father had figured it out, what was more important than his body, so he planned to sell some of his family property and live a stable life.

But she was wrong, Master Ma obviously didn't plan that way.

"My father guards against me, and also guards against my brother."

It stands to reason that Ma Bihe is not unacceptable to patriarchal patriarchy, but Master Ma is not very kind to the brothers and sisters, and she has not had much contact with the Ma family's business for so long.

Because of this, she had to be strong, so she pulled He Yuexiu and Li Haitang together to set up her own jewelry shop.

Although Yuehetang's business is booming, but after all, it follows the route of small profits but quick turnover, and Master Ma doesn't take it seriously at all.

The Ma family has special people with unique insight. They go to the south to gamble on stones. They are lucky and open good jade materials. The money they get is quite rich, which is equivalent to a profitable business. Although this kind of business is not much, a few times, it is enough to cover Yue Hetang's income for several years.
