A single stock of Chinese war stocks had shocked the entire Asia and would also shock the entire world. For ordinary people, they did not understand how such a high and mighty thing could be related to them. They only knew that their meagre income was not something they could afford, even if they saved up for three months.
Sometimes, when people around him opened their mouths and shut up, talking about the Jiangnan stock market, it was as though they were listening to a scripture of heaven.
The citizens did not understand, but the merchants were clear about it. Ever since the news of the Chinese war stocks being successfully listed, and the developed telegraph network s flew to the whole country, all the merchants in Great Qing smelt the scent of blood.
Businessmen who felt like they had some ability began to prepare to take a huge sum of money to the Suzhou to get a knowledge of themselves. Putting aside how much they could buy, if a businessman didn't understand the operation mode and principles of this new thing, it would definitely be a very shameful thing.
The merchants of the Great Qing were all gathered in Jiang, Zhe, Shuangguang, Shanxi, and Beijing for a generation. The reputation of the Jin Shang was not to be looked down upon, ever since the Su Province released the stocks, the Jin Shang s all went crazy, they all sent out their most outstanding members of their families and brought a large amount of gold to Jiangnan to study.
The eight great clans of Jin Shang, Qiao family, Cao family, Chang family, Hou family, He family, Kuang family, Kuang family, and Kong family, all sent a vast expedition of their disciples to Jiangnan.
But no one dared to invite the head of the eight great families, Fan family. Even if Grandpa Fan Lian stayed in the old mansion for the past few months, the other seven families would only send various invitations and would not dare to disturb him.
The reason was simple. The body of the Fan Ru Patriarch was getting worse and worse every day, and at the moment, he was already like a dried up oil lamp. Everyone knew that death was only a matter of a few dozen days, and none of the disciples of the Fan family dared to leave.
The gatekeepers in Fan family Mansion were muttering to each other, the black paint door was tightly shut, and only a small crack was left on the side door.
"Ai …" "Just now, the sixth young master of the He family came. He sent an old mountain ginseng as well as a greeting letter. Originally, our seventh young master wanted to go to Jiangnan, but everything ended up in vain …"
"Seventh Young Master still wants to go to Jiangnan? Pui … Just based on him, when his grandfather was so ill and lying on the bed, he would touch his concubine's door.
"Shh …" Lower your voice. Old Chou, that sour face dog, has come. Be careful not to scold him, so that he can stand up straight! "
The gatekeepers stopped their discussions and sat upright on the stools. When they saw enemy grandpa walking over, a group of people stood up and greeted him with smiles on their faces, "Lucky enemy grandpa, did enemy grandpa come to handle this errand a long time ago? "So arduous …"
A black faced tall man did not smile and only nodded, "Is Second Master in the inner chamber? "I have something to report …"
"Aiyo, enemy grandpa, this way please, you may do as you wish, you may do as you wish …" The group of people walked enemy grandpa through the side door like stars surrounding the moon. When they could no longer see his back, the guards spat on the ground.
"Pah …" What the hell! Wasn't she just relying on a little girl to serve the second young miss? Then he became the second master's confidant. Without his sister, who would know him!? "A black-faced dog dug in the ground …"
enemy grandpa was not an outsider, he was actually's elder brother, the number one girl by Hu Niu's side. A Chou's surname was enmity, because he looked ordinary and ugly, but in the end, the Hu Niu who liked to joke around called her A Chou, and the ugly word was consonance and enmity.
Hu Niu was the second wife who fell in love with Fu Hui, and was considered her equal wife! Xiao Letian was a Chinese Prime Minister Xiao, and also one of Tongzhi's Imperial Advisor.
A Chou was Hu Niu's closest big girl, so her identity was terrifying. Even A Chou's big brother rose up in the sky and became Fan Lian's trusted aide, regardless of her power, she was still loyal and devoted to her.
Although he was rich, he did not know how to use his money to pull some strings, so his popularity had always been poor. The servants in Fan family's mansion all called him a black-faced dog.
But the enemy grandpa did not care. He had been to the seas to see Nan Yang, Ryukyu, Japan, Korea … People who were waiting for a country, for a grand occasion, no longer cared about what the people at home said. How could the frog at the bottom of the well understand the aspirations of a great being?
enemy grandpa passed through courtyard after courtyard, the luxury of the Jin Shang's family wasn't inferior to that of Jiangnan Garden, and he predicted that there would be no less than fifty to sixty people serving him along the way.
No one dared to joke around with the enemy grandpa, the servants gave way to a thousand, the maidservants let Lu Wanfu go, and no one dared to stop the Second Master even if he were to enter the Inner Mansion. The Imperial Guards went straight to the main house, where Master Fan Ru was resting.
When enemy grandpa went to the door and peeked inside, he realized that Master Fan Lian was sitting right next to Fan Ru in the middle of the room. The two old brothers were chatting, the morning sunlight was shining into the room and dust was dancing in the air.
enemy grandpa didn't dare to disturb him, and could only stand respectfully at the door as time slowly passed.
"Ai …" Old, really old … Who do you think I dreamed of last night? " Leaning on the pillow, Fan Ru's face was filled with death Qi, quietly looking at her brother who was just like him.
"Hehe, it's not like I'm my big brother's worm. How could I possibly guess that …" Come, come, come, come, let's eat an orange. This was brought here by the Ryukyu fast boat, I told them to send it over here as soon as possible … "
Looking at the golden orange petal, Fan Ru let out a long sigh, "To be able to eat this kind of fruit during this period, how could I ever dare to think about that in the past? Good brother, who would have thought that you would make it this far? It's not easy... All these years have been hard on you! "
finally said a sentence, and just this sentence caused Fan Lian, who had suffered for a lifetime, to shed tears.
How could there be any deep hatred between brothers? No matter how great the gap between them was, they would forget about it after the passage of time. On the contrary, their former brotherly relationship was etched into their hearts, unforgettable.
As Fan Lian ate the orange, tears also rolled down his face, "Brother! "I dreamt of our grandpa. I dreamt that grandpa was sitting in that grass hut drinking old wine with only a salty duck egg to drink. The two of us were so greedy that we drooled …"
Fan Ru also cried, "That's right! "At that time, my family was poor, so I had to give grandpa first if I had anything good to eat. When my family had some spare money, I would make grandpa a two corner wine. I would use a salted egg without any dishes …"
"Wuwuwu …" "Grandfather only used the tip of his chopsticks to touch a little bit of yellow, and with a sip, he could taste that taste and drink a large cup of wine …"
"Hahaha …" Fan Ru also laughed, "That's right, that's right, that's a pair of chopsticks. Grandfather often carries my father on his back, used his chopsticks to pick up a piece of salted egg yolk, and then stuffed it into our mouths. It's so beautiful! "
"Look at what Big Brother said, I'm so hungry. I'll get the kitchen to cut some salted eggs later. We'll eat together with the white porridge!"
Fan Ru shook his head: "Not good, it's better to eat with the wine. I'll just taste a little bit, okay …"
Fan Lian wiped away his tears. What else could he say? A person on the verge of death had a wish, who would dare not to listen! I told them to prepare it, but big brother, you only have to taste a little, you can't drink too much! "
"Ai …" "I'll listen to you. I'll listen to you. In the future, everyone will listen to you …"
A lifelong dispute, a lifetime of conflict, had been replaced at this moment by brotherhood and brotherhood. Nothing in the blood could change it.
