    Xiuzhen knew very well in her heart that the reason why she was the head of the family was that her grandfather wanted to repay her for marrying with a tablet.

    Xiuzhen knows that the Jiao family is a big family with a large population and a lot of property. It is not easy to start a family, but how do you know if you don't try some things?

    Xiuzhen took over the responsibility of being the head of the house.  Grandpa handed Xiuzhen all the keys to the storeroom on the cabinet, and told her that the account book would be handed over tomorrow, and if there was anything Grandpa could teach her if she didn't know it.  Xiuzhen felt relieved when she heard what her grandfather said.

    That night was supposed to be Xiuzhen's "Bridal Anniversary" night, but Xiuzhen slept all night with her arms around the red wedding dress she made herself.

    Two dragon and phoenix candles were lit in the room, the candles were full of flames, and the tears of the candles were bright red. Under the reflection of the thumping candles, Xiuzhen slept soundly and dreamless all night.

    Xiuzhen got up early the next morning. This was the first day of her life in Jiao's house, and she had to show something.

    A dozen or so members of the Jiao family lived in a courtyard with two entrances. The other brothers of the Jiao family lived in the side rooms on the east and west sides of the first entrance, the old man of the Jiao family lived in the main room of the second entrance, and the boss of the Jiao family lived in the left room.  That is Zhongwen's father, and on the right is the room of Baekhyun and Zhongwen.  After Xiuzhen got married, the old man of the Jiao family gave Zhongwen's room to Xiuzhen, and found another vacant room for Zhongwen as soon as they entered the courtyard.  It turned out that Baekhyun's room was vacant, and it was used as a place to mourn and remember Baekhyun.

    The Jiao family hired a servant who cooks and a servant who cleans the house.  Xiuzhen got up early and directed the two of them to prepare meals and clean up.

    After dinner at Jiao's house, the old man looked at the cleanliness and tidyness inside and out, and couldn't help but praise: "Xiuzhen, you are really capable!"

    After hearing her grandfather's praise, Xiuzhen was also very happy. She knew that if she wanted to survive in Jiao's house, the first hurdle was to get help from her grandfather.

    After breakfast, grandpa took Xiuzhen to get acquainted with his family's business.

    Although the Jiao family is a scholarly family, they also have their own business.  Open an oil mill and a cloth shop on the bustling Dashizi Street in the county seat.

    The old man said to Xiuzhen as he walked: "The ancestors of our Jiao family were actually from Linzhou, Henan. They were born in business and owned the largest oil mill in Linzhou.  Our family presses oil, because our family uses the ancient method of oil extraction, the oil yield is high and the oil color is clear, and the oil cake after oil extraction is still a good fertilizer, and the crops it grows are particularly good.¡±

    Grandpa told Xiuzhen about the history and glory of her ancestors, and continued with a proud expression on his face: "The good business of the Jiaojia Youfang attracted people who were jealous.  A bigger oil mill was also opened opposite. Firecrackers were set off for three days before the opening, and oil was extracted for free for users in the first three days, but the business was robbed. The oil mill staff reported the situation to the old man who was in charge of the Jiao family at that time.  The old man said calmly: "Don't be afraid, see the real chapter in a month, not everything can be learned at a glance, our Jiao family has squeezed oil for generations, and it took several generations of painstaking efforts and wisdom to sum up the ancient method.  Squeezing oil is not so easy to be squeezed out by others. What this oil pressing ultimately requires is craftsmanship!  "

    Grandpa continued to talk, "Sure enough, half a month later, the business of the oil mill on the opposite side slowed down, and the oil extractors ran back to our oil mill. After asking them why, they found out that although their home is free of charge, only ten catties of oil can be squeezed.  Four catties of oil came out, and our family can squeeze out six catties of oil, no one is a fool, taking their own things as things, and the difference between two catties of oil can't stop wasting things even if it is free, so they all  ran back."

    "The partners finally understood the reason why the master was not in a hurry after hearing what the users said, and they were all relieved. After a month, the business on the opposite side finally couldn't stand it, and quietly closed the door. A few days later, the Linzhou Chamber of Commerce  The president asked the master to have dinner, and after he went, he found that the son of the magistrate was also present.  When he left in embarrassment and became angry, he put down a sentence and asked your oil shop to close within a month."

    "Sure enough, within a month, the oil shop was constantly harassed by Xiaoxiao. Today, someone blocked the door and said that they exchanged old goods for new goods from others. Tomorrow, someone said that things were short of gold and short of gold. The day after tomorrow, the door of the oil shop was polluted with filth.  The day after tomorrow, there will be another group of beggars blocking the door and gathering at the door to yell and curse, and the business cannot be done at all.¡±

    When Xiuzhen heard this, she couldn't help blurting out: "It must be the prefect's son who is doing something tricky!"

    The old man nodded and continued: "Even you know that he is playing tricks, and of course the shrewd old boss knows too. One night, he secretly visited the president of the chamber of commerce who had dinner with him at that time. After a long talk, the old boss stayed overnight.  ?He made the decision to "move", and then moved to the current Lingao County.  "

    Xiuzhen's eyes widened and she asked curiously: "Why did you move? Did our family do anything wrong?"

    The old man shook his head and twisted his beard and explained: "Yes, we did nothing wrong. Why did we move? Later, the master said that the president of the chamber of commerce persuaded the magistrate's son to put down his cruel words that night, and he fell in love with him.  Our oil shop business, since we don¡¯t give the secret recipe, our family will be taken away. If we don¡¯t leave, we will be careful to cause a lawsuit. The president of the chamber of commerce advises the master to hand over the secret recipe to the prefect¡¯s son.  , of course the stubborn old master would not hand over the secret recipe, but his arms could not twist his thighs, so he and his family came to Linggao County to avoid disaster.  Not only must the business do well, but also study well. Only by studying can the fate of the lower class be changed, and then the Jiao family have the right to speak. Since then, the Jiao family has started to use reading to change the destiny, but reading needs money to maintain, so the Jiao family  There is an unwritten rule to walk on two legs, one leg is used for studying and becoming an official, and the other leg is used for business to support literature." After speaking, the old man turned his head to Xiuzhen and asked, "Do you understand, Xiuzhen?"

    Xiuzhen nodded and said, "Understood, Grandpa. But why did the master choose Linggao County to settle down?"

    Grandpa replied: "Linggao County is adjacent to Linzhou, Henan. The climate is suitable and the folk customs are simple. The peanuts, flaxseeds, and hemp seeds grown here are all excellent raw materials for oil extraction, so they moved here overnight. After one or two days  After a hundred years of reproduction, our Jiao family has prospered again, which shows that the master of the family has a good vision, and Lingao County is really a treasure land of geomantic omen for our Jiao family!"

    After listening to her grandfather's explanation, Xiuzhen also admired the master's decision.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
