Chapter 51 (1/2)
Although moju has no heart, it is better to be loyal. She felt that Shen's mother's behavior was abnormal and immediately told Yuxi about it.
Yuxi roughly guessed what Shen's mother was for: ”in the future, you will do what Shen's mother asked you to do, and tell me in private.” Before Yuxi felt that Fangshen's mother had nothing to do with her, but now Yuxi was disgusted. This kind of life is always living under the surveillance of others without any freedom, which makes her very uncomfortable. I have to find a way to get Shen's mother away without offending the old lady.
He has been honing with the manager for many years and is very cautious. He got Qiu's order. Instead of going to the shop directly, he went first to find out what happened to the owner of the shop. This inquiry really reveals something.
When Yuxi heard that he had talked about the shop to the superintendent two thousand six hundred Liang, he thought it was inconceivable: ”can't it?” Four thousand two shops, to the governor actually two thousand six hundred two to talk down? Yuxi thinks it's not normal.
”I don't know,” said the steward, ”the owner of this shop has offended the Yamen people, and his shop is generally not dare to buy.” People with power and power can't see the shops in that area. People with a little money have their own sources. People who know that their boss offends the Yamen will not buy them, so as not to be angry.
Yuxi said anxiously, ”who is the one who offended this shop? If the offending person is not small, this shop will not be allowed. ” She doesn't want to get into trouble.
Smiling to the steward, he said: ”it's not a big deal. This shop is ours. The other side doesn't dare to move his mind. Girl, in fact, if this shop doesn't have this business, you can buy it for 320400 Liang silver. Our offer is not low. ” Ordinary people dare not buy this shop, which does not mean that the government dare not.
Yuxi is relieved when he sees this: ”I have to work hard to manage things.”
Xiang Guanshi has a mind to work out: ”four girls, I heard that I'm going to open a grocery store after buying this shop? If the girl doesn't have the right person, I have one here. ”
The man recommended by Xiang Yang is his wife and brother, surnamed Meng. He is 15 years old.
Yuxi is not dissatisfied with her age. The grocery store she runs is not large. As long as the other party is smart and able to manage the shop, it will become: ”since it is recommended to the manager, it certainly has its own advantages. I'm afraid I'm going to give in when I don't have a big grocery store. ”
Smiling to the steward, he said: ”he also studied in the satin shop for two years. He is very young. It's only when my mother is watching me that she dare to open her mouth. ”
Yuxi is naturally willing to give the manager the face.
When he left, Yuxi asked Hongshan to give Xiang Guanshi twenty liang of silver: ”I'm tired of Xiang Guanshi these two days. Take this money to buy wine.”
After receiving a reward from the steward, he left the government. When he got home, he told his wife, Meng Shi, that she would tell his wife.
Mengshi is not at ease. The grocery store is not big. What can her brother do!
Xiangyang said, ”Why are your eyelids so shallow? Just stare at these three melons and two dates. The grocery store is small, but you don't think that the four girls are learning from Mr. song now. What's worse? Now three younger brothers follow her, after four girls developed, can we still use three younger brothers? ” Now he is able to manage the silk and satin shop. Apart from his own ability, his mother is the wife's confidant. Otherwise, he will not be able to manage the shop.
Meng still had some worries: ”the third brother is 15 years old, and he will soon be the age of marriage. If he can't do it, what should he do?” Four girls developed at least ten years later. If his brother had been guarding the grocery store for ten years, it would have been a delay.
Xiangyang can only say: ”as long as your three younger brothers do well and get into the eyes of the four girls, you don't have to worry about your daughter-in-law.” Seeing Meng's suspicions, Xiangyang said: ”the four girls are intelligent, but her foundation is shallow and it's not convenient to do things in the mansion. If the third brother does well, the fourth girl will surely hold him. You don't remember that the age of the two close fitting big servant girls around the four girls will be the age of marriage in two years. ” If you want to attract people's hearts, the best way is to betroth the servant girls around you.
Meng's eyes brightened. Unfortunately, she seldom goes to the inner court now. She has no impression on the two servant girls, Mo Ju and Mo Tao.
Xiangyang threw cold water on her: ”if the third brother can't get into the girl's eyes, it's nothing.” This means that Meng should persuade his brother-in-law to do a good job.
In the evening, Yuxi got the title deed. Holding the deed, Yuxi was very happy. This is her industry. She has her own industry, too. That's good.
It's also Yuxi's good luck. A few days later, Qiu's family heard that the LV family of Zhongyong Hou's mansion was going to sell a farm property, which was linked with a mountain forest, just in line with Yuxi's requirements.
Qiushi and Yuxi said, ”that Chuang Tzu is not far from the capital. It's about two hours' walk. I think it can be bought. ”
Yu Xi asked doubtfully, ”Auntie, why do people of the LV family sell such a good property?” Farm produce is something that can be passed on to future generations. Generally, people don't sell it.
Since Qiushi is going to buy these farm products, he must be clear about it. He said: ”the LV family and the Li family, the emperor businessman, have set up a line and are going to do business with the Li family. It is said that the stall is very big and requires a lot of capital, so we are ready to sell some industries for cash, which is also catching up. ”
