Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 185 Father-in-law helps me with a job? (Three more chapters)
The spectators in Song's Flavor House were disappointed.

The two people who came to propose marriage were very polite and courteous when they left, and no one caused any trouble.

The Juren really looks like a Juren, and the Taixue student really looks like a Taixue student.

Young Master Wang bowed to Yang Yuan again and again, said he would visit again another day, and then left with a happy face.

As for Mr. Fan, Yang Yuan took Ya Ge and personally sent him to Lu's Mule and Horse Shop.

Brother Ya specially arranged a small single room for Mr. Fan, and the restaurant provided all three meals a day.

Yang Yuan let him stay here temporarily to study and recuperate.

Mr. Fan knew that it was normal to hold an official position for three to five years.

Mr. Yang only asked him to wait for a few months, which was really very fast.

Mr. Fan felt that he had met a great benefactor by going to Beijing to take the imperial examination, so he was grateful to Yang Yuan.

It was not until many years later that Old Master Fan lay on his sickbed, with his children and grandchildren surrounding him, listening to his last words with tears in their eyes.

Old Master Fan suddenly recalled that his days of working like a slave for Mr. Yang started at the "Lu's Mule and Horse Inn"...

……

For dinner, Yang Yuan naturally had dinner with Lu Xi and Old Man Song.

Dan Niang originally wanted to avoid it and go back to "Shuiyunjian", but Lu Xi pulled her back.

So Dan Niang also came to the table and sat on Yang Yuan's left and right with Lu Xi.

Regarding this matter, Old Man Song and Yang Yuan maintained a tacit understanding between men and never mentioned it.

Old Man Song is a discerning scout who knows what matters he should be concerned about and what matters he should ignore.

This kind of thing is not something that he, as a father-in-law, can talk about openly.

The little girl Qingtang was serving on the side, and she served very attentively.

Serve tea and water, and even place a towel. You don't need to tell me.

When you need something, she is already one step ahead and puts it right in front of you.

Qingtang kept listening with his ears perked up, listening to what Yang Yuan said to Old Man Song, Luxi, and Dan Niang.

"Father-in-law, Luxi, Danniang, I plan to buy a house in Renmeifang."

Yang Yuan ate the food that Dan Niang prepared for him and said slowly, "Buy a large house with three entrances and three exits.

There are many government offices over there, few people, quiet, and a good environment."

Old Man Song was somewhat reluctant. Fengwei Building had already been expanded. When his daughter got married, couldn't she live here with her son-in-law?
Yang Yuan glanced at Old Man Song and said, "Father-in-law, when the time comes, you should move over too.

There is no need to watch over this restaurant every day. Just like "Shuiyunjian", we can just hire a smart manager.

If you have time, come and have a look. If you don’t want to come, just go fishing by the West Lake.”

When Lu Xi heard that his second brother allowed his father to live there, he couldn't help but jump for joy and said, "Great, great. In this way, I can still be with my father."

Old Man Song rolled his eyes at her and said, "Nonsense! I'm the father-in-law. How can a father-in-law live in his son-in-law's house? How can that be wrong?"

Yang Yuan said, "If Lu Xi and I were the only ones living in such a big house, wouldn't it be too desolate?"

As he said this, he glanced at Dan Niang.

Dan Niang naturally understood what he meant and smiled sweetly at him.

My lord, I understand. There is no need to comfort me.

But I still feel warmed by Erlang's thoughtfulness.

A large courtyard with three entrances and three exits. By then, she will also be able to have an independent small courtyard, and she must manage it well.

The scenery over there is really beautiful.

By the way, my godmother also lives nearby, so it will be more convenient to visit her in the future.

Thinking of this, Dan Niang became even happier.

Old Man Song was still very happy about Yang Yuan's filial piety, but he still couldn't accept that his father-in-law went to live with his son-in-law.

Old Man Song shook his head with a stern face: "Forget it, forget it. I won't go. It would be good for my daughter to live in a big house. It would be fine if you can come back to see me from time to time."

"Father-in-law, you have to go."

Yang Yuan said sincerely: “I ask you to grow old, not only because you are my father-in-law.

I also want to expand the Youqiu Division. I want to invite my father-in-law, Uncle Ji, Uncle Gou, and Uncle Qu to all come and live there."

Yang Yuan then introduced the concept of "Youqiusi" to the Song father and daughter.

Dan Niang and Qing Tang basically understood everything, so there was no need to explain more to them.

After Yang Yuan finished explaining, he looked at Old Man Song and said, "I want to bring you, my father-in-law, Lu Xi, and the three uncles into the Youqiu Division. From now on, you can be considered half-officials."

It is not uncommon for a family to do business together in this era.

In this era, family businesses are the mainstream, and it is very rare for people to hire professional managers and just be hands-off managers.

However, for this very new "Youqiusi" which was affiliated with the Privy Council, Old Man Song found it difficult to imagine it as an ordinary business store.

Yang Yuan said: "Now that I have an official position, I am different from before.

For some things, being afraid of both wolves in front and tigers behind will no longer work.

Now that I have come back to find Luxi, if something happens in the future, it will be useless to find an excuse to distance myself from Luxi. "

"I think, if that's the case, why not let my father-in-law and Luxi run the Youqiusi with me openly.

On the one hand, you have a semi-official identity, which is risky but also safer.”

"Another thing is that we have the support of the Privy Council's Speed ​​Room, and with the skills of my father-in-law and several uncles, the Youqiu Division will definitely grow stronger."

“By then, even if something really happens to our family, we will no longer be fighting alone. If we want to protect ourselves, we may still have a chance.” Yang Yuan now knows that Father Song and his men are real military kings.

Such a hero, after retiring from the army, would mingle among the people in the market, selling wine and braised chicken, and telling stories in the shop all day long?
What a waste! These talents need to be put to use!
"Um……"

When Old Man Song heard this, his heart was beating fast.

He didn't understand what Yang Yuan was talking about, such as crisis public relations.

However, he understood what Yang Yuan said about building his own power.

If he could recruit a group of people and train them well with the abilities of him, Lao Ji, Lao Qu and others, he could build a force of his own.

Then, no matter what happens in the future, they will have a force to protect themselves.

Even the imperial court would not be able to bully them at will at that time.

It's of course impossible to resist the army, but it's always possible to just leave, right?

Find a mountain and a lake, and you can be free and happy anywhere.

"Well, your idea is not bad..."

Old Man Song stroked his beard and nodded slowly, but suddenly, he was stunned again.

"That's not right, Yang Yuan, I'm your father-in-law!"

"That's right!"

"But if I become a clerk of Youqiusi again, then are you... my son-in-law or my boss?"

Yang Yuan smiled and said, "Each of us has his own opinion. We are all one family. Why do we have to be so clear about it?"

"What do you mean by separate opinions? You get confused when you get anxious, brother."

Lu Xi quickly rolled her eyes at Yang Yuan, then pulled her father's sleeve and acted coquettishly:
"A father-in-law is a father-in-law. It is only natural for a father-in-law to help his son-in-law manage the business. There is no such thing as a partner or not."

"Eh!"

Old Man Song had nothing to say. Well, he only had this one precious daughter, so he would just spoil her!
I spent the first half of my life serving my country, risking my life.

In the second half of your life, you should fight for a peaceful future for your own flesh and blood.

Old Man Song tilted his head back and drank the whole cup of wine, which was considered as his agreement.

While the little girl Qingtang was serving Ju'er, she pricked up her ears to listen to them discussing the family business.

Is "Youqiusi" going to become bigger and stronger?

He used the two big restaurants and Mr. Qu's storyteller's brothel to make connections and get business.

So do I have to call my uncle-in-law "boss" from now on?

I have to have a good attitude, otherwise what if he thinks I'm eating for free and doesn't want to support me anymore?
……

That night, the family discussed and planned a lot.

Old Man Song was a scout by birth, and he was much smarter than the average soldier.

Dan Niang is a great master in the business of traveling. Although she has no ambition to do this and always wants to retire, she still has the skills she learned in elementary school.

She used to study how to cheat people, but now "Youqiusi" studies how to help people fill the holes.

If someone who knows how to dig holes studies how to fill them, how quickly will he get the hang of it?

As for Luxi, the main reason why Yang Yuan asked her to join in was that he didn't want her to stay out of the matter and gradually become isolated from others.

However, Luxi has a kind nature and is not suitable for studying some conspiracies and tricks, but Qiu Si needs to make money and spend money.

In particular, Yang Yuan no longer regards "Youqiusi" as a pure business, but as a strong foundation for him to gain a foothold in officialdom.

In the future, the requirements for making money and spending money will be very high.

So, let her be responsible for the personnel and finance of "Youqiusi".

Mr. Qu Da was originally a secretary in Yue Family Army. He had taken care of the personnel and financial issues of tens of thousands of people. There would be no problem in asking him to help Luxi.

More details can be slowly adjusted and completed as problems arise and more manpower is added.

However, the basic framework of "Youqiusi" has been determined tonight.

Qingtang was always an auditor, and no one chased her away, but no one arranged anything for her either.

Too young, only thirteen years old.

Although in the market, there are mothers at this age, and there are also rising stars in the entertainment industry.

But in Yang Yuan's eyes, she was too young to be used, so he just kept her for now.

……

Because the discussion was too late, Dan Niang did not return to "Shuiyunjian", but squeezed into a room with Qingtang and Luxi.

After dawn, Yang Yuan went to the Privy Council to take up his post.

Today is his first official day in office.

The basic things had been discussed last night, and all that remained was for everyone to implement them. He didn't need to worry about these things.

Dan Niang was responsible for looking for a large house in Renmeifang.

Yang Yuan just defined a rough range and there was no need to be too specific about it.

Dan Niang, who has a close relationship with Li Shishi, chose a house that could not be far away from Shishi's home, right?
When Yang Yuan passed through Houshi Street, many shops were still closed.

But Yang Yuan still knocked on the door of a store that was making internal preparations and bought something before leaving.

He has not yet settled the score for what Hua Hao and Yue Yuan did yesterday to drive a wedge between him and Lu Xi.

Yang Yuan was a man who would not wait until tomorrow to take revenge. It had already been a night, and he didn't want to wait any longer.
