Chapter 132 (1/2)
”Girl, girl, good news!”
Xiaocui excitedly ran into the study from outside, ”girl, Lu Hou's house invited a matchmaker to propose marriage.”
Ah?
This news will Zhi LAN courtyard people and so on were shocked.
Green plum pulled Xiaocui, ”really? Tell me what's going on? ”
”When Lu Hou's house comes to propose marriage, isn't that girl going to marry him. Compared with the marriage of the three girls, the Duke of Lu seems to be better. ” Qingzhu is happy for Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu rubs her eyebrows and hears the matchmaker come to propose a marriage. She is also shocked.
She is a legendary disease, and no one has come to propose a marriage. Maybe it's a mistake.
However, when she heard that it was Lu Hou's house that she proposed her marriage, Gu Jiu knew that there was no mistake. But the first thought that came out of her mind was that the marriage might not be so smooth.
”Xiao Cui, come on.”
Xiao Cui took a breath, and then said, ”just now, sister Chunhe sent Li matchmaker away. The maid inquired that matchmaker Li was entrusted by Madame Lu hou to propose marriage. It is said that it is to propose marriage for the legitimate young son of Lu Hou's house, and that is the girl. The first son of Lu Hou's house will be seventeen years old when he is young. He is just right for the girl in age
”Congratulations, congratulations.” Green bamboo is smiling.
Gu nine sneers, ”eight words have not been a skim, do not rush to congratulate me.”
”Is the girl worried that this marriage is not going to work?” she asked
Gu Jiu said: ”Lu Hou's house is not an ordinary noble family. Lu Hou himself had a heavy army in his hand, and his palace was afraid of it. Other aristocratic families were both defensive and attracted to him.
Do you know what such a family represents? Represents high risk.
The master always asks for security, but he is afraid that he will not easily agree to this marriage. And on the wife's side, can she allow me to marry better than her baby daughter?
And watch, the marriage may not be settled. So don't rush to be happy or yell. Don't get married in the end. People will laugh at you. ”
Green plum should go down, ”girl, don't worry. I'll restrain you from talking nonsense outside. Xiaocui, pay attention to the news in the mansion. If you have any remarks against the girl, you must report it in time. ”
Xiaocui said, ”sister Qingmei, don't worry. I know the weight.”
Green bamboo asked: ”girl, can't this marriage really come true?”
Gu Jiu put down his book and said, ”the master has not made a statement. It's too early to say anything.
I heard that there was a big case in Yamen recently. The master left early and returned late every day. He was dragged away by the case.
Green plum, you and Li Chuan say, let him pay attention to the outside of the house.
In addition, we should pay more attention to the trend of the capital. We are in the inner yard, and although it is inconvenient to go out, we can't be blind
”I know that I will go to find Li Chuang and ask him to go out to inform Er Zhuang.”
Green plum answered, and then said, ”Er Zhuang said several times that he wanted the girl to find him a job. Every day when he is idle, he is very flustered
Gu Jiu laughed and said, ”they are all busy people. Do you ask Er Zhuang about the shop he showed him? ”
Green plum said: ”Er Zhuang has seen many shops, but the rent is high. Low rent shops, but the location is not very good. Maidservant, what do you want to do with business
Gu Jiu said: ”the capital is limited, so we can only do some small business. If you think about it, what kind of business is good? ”
Green bamboo takes the lead to say: ”make food.”
”Green plum shakes her head,” do eat two strong a person busy not come over, have to invite a person. It's best to do business that two strong people can deal with, such as selling pearls and trinkets. Girls from small families in Beijing are also very particular. They have a little money in their hands. As long as the pearls are well made and the price is not expensive, many people will buy them. ”
Xiaocui suggested: ”it's better to sell some pickles. A small family can't live without pickles all the year round. ”
Green plum shakes her head, ”a lot of people can do pickles by themselves. That kind of business can't make a lot of money in a year, and it takes time and effort. Moreover, the pickle jar also takes up space, so there is an extra rent.
If you want me to say, I'll sell pearls. Do not need a lot of shops, try to choose a place where the rent is cheap, and do the business of women in small families.
And in this business, several servants can help. On weekdays, we do some manual work and sell them in shops.
After two years, when the Northwest has made money, the girl will open a large jewelry shop, specializing in the business of the wives of rich families. ”
Gu Jiu looked at green plum, really did not see, green plum is still quite business minded.
”You all think about it. You all have members in this business,” she said
”The maids don't want any members. As long as they can share the worries for the girl, the maids will be satisfied.”
Green bamboo also said: ”I have a monthly silver monthly, girl, you don't have to count our members. Besides, the girl doesn't have much money in her hand. She has to keep it for reserve. In case something happens, there's still money to open the way. ”Gu Jiu laughed and said, ”you look down on me. Can I only hope to live on this silver? ”
Green bamboo said: ”the girl is naturally capable. It's just that making money is not just a matter of making money. It has to be a little spare, just in case. ”
Gu Jiu said with a smile: ”OK, I know what you mean. Let's talk about the members later. Let's settle the business first. What do you think of the pearl flower business mentioned by green plum
Several servant girls exchanged a look at each other, then nodded together.
”I think what sister Qingmei said is reasonable. In the pearl flower business, er Zhuang can be busy. What's more, er Zhuang is very handsome. Both girls and daughters in law like him, so the business will not be bad. We'll come up with some fashionable styles and make more patterns. We don't believe that the big girls and little wives in the city don't like to buy them. ” When it comes to the excitement, Xiaocui smiles and seems to see the booming business.
Gu Jiu nodded, ”pearl flower business can be done, but there is a problem you have ignored. It is easy to imitate this kind of Trinket like pearl flower.
Once someone sees Er Zhuang's business is good, they will follow suit. The same style of pearl flower, even change the pattern, than we sell more varieties better.
By then, I'm afraid the business of Er Zhuang will plummet. ”
”Ah, what about that?”
”The girl is worried. Pearl flower is not a big business. It doesn't need much capital to do it. A lot of people want to follow the trend. What shall we do, girl
Qingmei is worried. I don't want to be robbed of my hard work.
Gu Jiu laughed, ”but we have an advantage that all small businesses don't have. Don't forget, the master is the governor of the capital.
However, there are still Hou Fu and Gu Fu. With such a supporter, don't worry, business will certainly go on.
The small businesses in the capital are very discerning. They will not go too far when they see that Er Zhuang has a backing. Two Zhuang eat meat, they drink soup, everyone is happy.
But even so, you can't take it lightly. You have to use your brain more, more fashionable style. We even think of some new ideas and push them to the market.
As long as the market response is good, we can make a profit. Don't worry about tens of taels and hundreds of taels. As long as you can make money, I won't dislike the lack of money. ”
Several servant girls all laughed.
”The girl got into the money's eye.”
”The girl is clearly a little money fan.”
Gu Jiumei's eyes bent, ”I'm looking forward to being a real little rich woman one day. So we have to work hard. ”
”Don't worry, girl. The maids will not let you down.”
Gu Jiu smiles, ”let Er Zhuang quickly find a good shop and give me the size of the shop. Let me think about how to decorate the shop. ”
”You have to save a little, girl. There's not much money.” Green plum reminds her.
Gu nine heart plug, quietly asked green plum, ”good green plum, you tell me, my girl left how much money?”
Green plum took out the account book, and picked up the abacus, slightly clumsy accounting.
Gu Jiu looks at the green plum, does not make a sound, will not dislike.
They need to exercise, which is a rare opportunity to exercise.
There are not many accounts. It doesn't take much time for the green plum to be clear.
She told Gu Jiu, ”girl, you still have two hundred and twenty-five silver coins and three hundred Wen copper coins. There are five left in each
Gu Jiu sighed, several thousand taels of silver, only 200 Liang left.
She has to seize the time to increase income and reduce expenditure.
Gu Jiu said: ”the Chinese New Year is coming, everyone will have some pocket money in their hands. Ask Er Zhuang if he can open his shop before the new year?
We will prepare the goods first. As soon as the shop opens, we will send the goods out and let Er Zhuang sell them quickly.
