The Song family used their power to easily obtain the silk that Chen Yingnan had hoarded in Yizhou.

As the Chinese New Year approaches, the battle for silk in the new year intensifies.

Small workshops everywhere have almost reached the point where they can no longer weave silk brocades. Many small traders saw that they had no way to survive, but they found new business opportunities and joined the ranks of selling finished fabrics directly.

A strange phenomenon also appeared throughout the northern states. The price of silk was soaring, but the fabrics produced were of high quality and low price. For a time, the poor people at the bottom of the class were happy to rush into the market to grab the fabrics.

It didn't take long for the Lu family's inventory to be almost cleared.

In Quzhou City, Lu Wenqian and Lu Wenjing were walking in the city. Seeing that the people everywhere in the city were wearing their own materials, the two brothers were filled with emotion.

"Ahem, things are really fickle. In the past, such good materials could only be seen in the homes of dignitaries. It's really a bargain for these guys."

Lu Wenjing sighed distressedly: "Although the backlog of goods everywhere has been almost cleared, it has caused serious losses to my Lu family. It makes people feel distressed to think about it. I am afraid that only the second sister-in-law can come up with such an idea. "

"It's better than rotting in the warehouse."

Thinking of that girl who was far away in Yanyang City in Tanzhou, Lu Wenqian raised the corner of his mouth with a faint smile: "You don't have to feel bad. The Song family will definitely pay back the girl he lost today. It won't be long before we can make a comeback."

"I hope so."

Lu Wenjing was still a little worried: "Second brother, we have collected a lot of silk now. The two million taels of the first batch of silver sent by the Chen family have almost been spent. Do we still want to continue to buy silk?"

"of course."

Thinking of Qu Yunchu's instructions, Lu Wenqian nodded and said: "Not only must we collect it, but the daily purchase price must be one level higher than that of the Song family."

Lu Wenjing frowned: "If this continues, how will our Lu family survive? Let alone being unable to compete with the Song family, how dare we use the silk collected at such sky-high prices to produce fabrics? Look at the high-quality silk in today's market They have all dropped to the price of cabbage.”

"Who said I want to give birth to cloth?"

Lu Wenqian sneered: "Only a fool would use such expensive silk to weave cloth. If you send every last bit of the collected silk to the designated villages in the Chen family, no one will notice."

"Pfft, send it to Chen's house?"

Lu Wenjing had a look of astonishment on his face: "Didn't the silk from the Chen family be sold to the Song family? Wouldn't this be used as a wedding dress for the Song family?"

"I just want to make wedding clothes for the Song family."

Lu Wenqian chuckled: "And the money for the wedding dress has to be paid for by the Song family themselves, so we can just collect a little hard work from it."

Lu Wenjing seemed to understand his brother's intention.

He is trying to trick the Song family.

Use the Song family's money to buy silk and then sell it to the Song family to earn the price difference. In this way, the Lu family can earn back the cloth sold at a discount from the silk.

This is so clever.

"Second brother, this trick is really wonderful."

Lu Wenjing couldn't help but compliment.

"It's all your second sister-in-law's idea."

Lu Wenqian didn't expect his wife to be such a thief, and it was very interesting just thinking about it. Lu Wenjing became more and more motivated and said quickly: "I will tell the boy to increase the purchase of silk."

Seeing the fourth child go out happily, Lu Wenqian missed the person at home.

They had been separated for several months. The Lu family was in such a situation right now. I didn't know if she could cope with the situation of the Lu family on her own, or if she had suffered any grievances.

……

As the days passed, Qu Yunchu began to worry about everyone's livelihood as he saw the money in the treasury gradually being stretched for the livelihood of hundreds of people.

As the battle for silk between the Lu and Song families intensified, the worries in the hearts of the people in the mansion became more and more serious.

Many people don't quite understand Lu Wenqian's approach. It is clear that the Lu family's backlog of inventory has been cleared out, but they continue to compete for silk with the Song family. This is undoubtedly asking for death.

Even Lu Junwan and Jiang Yunching were extremely confused.

On this day, the couple came to Fengya Pavilion together. Jiang Yunqing had always been straightforward with Qu Yunchu and said bluntly:
  "Second sister-in-law, what kind of medicine is your brother selling in the gourd? The Song family is now at the peak of its power. My brother has cleared the Lu family's backlog of inventory at a discount, which has already caused the Lu family to suffer huge losses. Why are we still competing with the Song family for silk? , isn’t this just asking for death?”

Lu Junwan was also very uneasy.

Now the entire Lu family is in panic, and she is on pins and needles every day.

"Second sister-in-law, second brother has never been such an irrational person. Shouldn't he be so impulsive? What can our Lu family do to compete with the Song family now?"

Lu Junwan said worriedly: "Right now, the Song family is obviously trying to monopolize the cloth business by spending money. If the second brother tries to get involved, won't it mean that the Lu family will be completely ruined?"

"Well, your second brother always has his own reasons for doing things, so why should we worry about it?"

There was no trace of sadness on Qu Yunchu's face. Instead, he said calmly, "You have to believe that he will definitely bring the Lu family back to life."

The couple both felt that the second sister-in-law was talking nonsense, and they didn't know how to persuade her. They just said: "The livelihoods of hundreds of people in the Lu family need to be taken care of now. I'm afraid that if the second brother continues like this, everyone will be completely ruined." A way out."

Just at this moment, Lu Boyong also walked in with a frown, looked at a few people, and said anxiously: "Oh, the money in the treasury is almost at the bottom, what on earth is Wen Qian doing? Now that we have money, Why don't you think about collecting funds, but instead scatter money to compete with the Song family for some silk? This is really going to push the family to a dead end."

"Third uncle, you must be serious."

Qu Yunchu said disapprovingly: "Second Master will never put everyone in danger, nor will he care about everyone's life and death,"

I'm afraid that the competition between Lu Wenqian and the Song family has reached a fierce stage, and we can't waste all our efforts at this time.

"It's just about the money. I won't let everyone go hungry."

Qu Yunchu said with a smile: "From tomorrow on, Sanniang and Yun Qing, you will take people to Yanyang City to collect silk, transport all the purchased silk to the second master, and return with some money for living."

At this juncture, she had to go out and walk around and get back to her old job.

As long as you can earn money to survive this period, the days to come will only get better and better.

Thinking of this, she immediately told Keyan: "Go and prepare some talismans for me. From tomorrow, Keyan, you can follow me through the streets and alleys. Let's go touch people's bones and tell fortunes. We can always earn some money." A piece of silver, so that the family's livelihood will not be a problem."

Lu Boyong felt contempt in his heart:
  The dignified wife of the head of the Lu family has fallen into such a state?
