Chapter 62: Shop Scramble

As soon as the old lady saw Wei, she hurriedly got up from the Luohan bed, and when she was about to come down, she was supported by a beautiful lady beside her.

"Mother, you should still sit, since Zhenniang is willing to come back to see you this time, she will not be in a hurry to leave, don't worry, forget that you should be sick now." The beautiful lady said with a smile.

Wei took the two children to kowtow to Mrs. Wei to say goodbye, Xiaohuzi learned this etiquette when he was at home, so he also followed behind and did a good job.

When Mrs. Wei saw that Wei had finished saluting, she immediately beckoned to her: "Zhen Niang, quickly bring the two children to sit over, so that grandmother can take a good look." ”

Wei took He Linwan and Xiaohuzi to sit next to Mrs. Wei as he said.

The beautiful woman's gaze swept over He Linwan and Xiaohuzi one by one, and finally settled on Xiaohuzi, and said with a smile: "This is the ...... That cousin young master looks quite energetic. Although she didn't finish speaking, everyone could understand that her unfinished meaning was nothing more than "It's a pity that she's a dumb person." ”

Wei glanced at the woman coldly, this beautiful lady was Wei's stepmother, Yao.

Old Madam Wei said unhappily: "What are you doing here with me?

Yao smiled and said, "Mother, Han Zhang and Yuhua are both waiting here to say hello to their eldest sister." ”

There was a young man and a young girl standing beside Yao, the young man was born with a jade tree in the wind, the girl was beautiful and beautiful, and both of them had an excellent appearance.

Old Madam Wei's face softened, and she said to them, "Come and see your eldest sister." ”

Wei Hanzhang and Wei Yuhua both came over to greet Wei as they said, and Wei also returned the salute.

He Linwan also took Xiaohuzi to meet with several elders.

Yao Shi didn't wait for Mrs. Wei to ask for a few warm words. He couldn't wait to say: "Mother, it's not interesting for children to stay here and listen to us, why don't you let Han Zhang and Yuhua take their two nieces and nephews out to play for a while? Don't you still have a lot to say to your aunt and grandmother?"

He Linwan felt that the seat under him was not yet hot.

Old Madam Wei thought about it, pulled He Linwan with one hand and Xiaohuzi with the other, and said to Wei Yuhua and Wei Hanzhang: "You two are elders, and you have to look like elders when you take your nephew and niece to play, you know?"

Wei Hanzhang's mind has not been here, and when he heard Mrs. Wei's words, he immediately said: "Grandmother, I have to go out today, let Yuhua play with them." ”

Wei Yuhua glanced at Wei Hanzhang. There was some displeasure on his face.

Old Madam Wei immediately sank her face and said, "Don't you know what day it is, stay in the mansion for me!"

Yao patted his forehead: "Oh." I almost forgot. Mother, Han Zhang doesn't want to go out today, but you also know that he has always been friendly with the Five Princes, and the Five Princes made an appointment with Han Zhang a few days ago. I must go with him today to visit Mr. Qiu, who has returned from his travels. The fifth prince is the king. Han Zhang is a minister, this ...... Han Zhang, he can't refuse?"

"Mr. Qiu?" Mrs. Wei was stunned, "But Mr. Qiu Yu, who is known as 'Mr. Ghost Talent', has he returned to Beijing?"

Yao smiled: "Isn't it! Mr. Qiu likes to travel." It has always been the dragon who sees the beginning and the end, but this time I heard that it is an old disease, so I have to go back to Beijing to recuperate for a long time. No, the fifth prince wanted to come to Mr. Qiu as a teacher. ”

Mrs. Wei couldn't help but say: "But I heard that although Mr. Qiu is rich in learning and is known as a ghost, he never accepts students. ”

Yao smiled disappreciatively: "Other students naturally don't accept it, but the fifth prince personally came to the door to apprentice, how can he refuse? Not to mention that this time His Majesty personally opened his mouth and let several princes come to the door to apprentice." ”

Wei Hanzhang looked at the hourglass in the room and said on the side: "Grandmother, mother, the time I made with the five princes is almost up. ”

"This ......" Old Madam Wei hesitated a little and couldn't help but look at Wei.

Yao also glanced at Wei with a smile and said: "The apprenticeship of the five princes must be accompanied by a student, if Mr. Qiu accepts the five princes, it will be equivalent to accepting Han Zhang." If my sister has a spirit in the sky, and she sees Han Zhang so promising, she will definitely be happy for Han Zhang, aunt, don't you say?"

Wei smiled faintly and did not answer.

Even Wei Yuhua, who had never spoken, suddenly spoke: "Grandmother, if my brother fulfills the appointment of the five princes, be careful of being charged with contempt of the royal family." ”

Old Madam Wei thought about it, but still sighed: "Since this is the case, then you can go, but remember to come back early today." ”

Wei Hanzhang answered, and then walked away without looking back.

When Wei Hanzhang went out, Wei Yuhua suddenly seemed to remember something: "By the way, I forgot to explain something to my brother, grandmother, mother, I'll go and tell my brother." Saying that, Wei Yuhua hurriedly chased after Wei Hanzhang and left.

Old Madam Wei frowned: "This one by one, ......"

Yao said: "Their brother and sister have a good relationship, so they get closer. ”

Old Madam Wei looked at He Linwan and Xiaohuzi.

He Linwan said with a smile: "I'm still here to accompany my mother, I just took the carriage all the way, and I'm a little tired." ”

Wei also said: "Let them stay, I don't feel at ease without me." ”

Yao saw that the two children were not very old, so they didn't have to separate the two.

So I finally got to the point of today.

Yao opened his mouth first: "Grandma, I invite you to go back to the house today, in addition to making a dojo for my sister, there is another thing I want to discuss with you." Yao glanced at Wei and said with a smile, "The four shops on Zhengyang Street have always been operated by our Wei family, and the ten-year business period set before has expired, do you think you will have to send someone to draw up a new document with us, go to the government to prepare a foundation, and continue this contract?"

He Linwan was almost shocked by this Yao's cheekiness when he heard this, it was so reasonable to ask someone for something?

Wei didn't look surprised, he just lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and he didn't mean to answer Yao's words at all.

At this time, Mrs. Wei opened her mouth and scolded: "Shut up for me!"

Yao slapped his mouth lightly: "Look at me, I can't speak." Auntie, I don't mean to ask for this shop for nothing, from this year onwards, the annual rent of the four shops will be calculated to you on time. ”

Wei smiled, glanced at Yao's face with a light gaze, and then looked at Mrs. Wei: "Grandmother, I remember that my mother said that she would give the Wei family the management rights of the four shops left to me as a dowry for ten years free of charge...... Where are my four dowry shops? When were there only a few empty shells left?"

Old Madam Wei was silent for a moment, and then sighed: "Zhenniang, don't listen to your mother's nonsense, you continue to hand over the shop to the Wei family to operate, and the Wei family will give you a dividend every year in addition to the rent of your shop." ”

Yao said: "Mother, what you said is very light! If we hadn't helped her run it in the past ten years, where would there be any shop? This shop would have been nothing to do with her for a long time! Besides, could it be that the Wei family had raised her for more than ten years in vain, and also prepared a dowry for her to send her out in style?"

Wei Shi smiled mockingly: "Presumably Madame said something wrong, I didn't spend the Wei family's silver when I was in the Wei family, have you forgotten that my monthly expenses were all handed over to you to collect? As for my dowry...... The list is still there, do you want to take it out and compare it, which ones were prepared for me by the Wei family?"

Old Madam Wei's face was also a little unbearable: "Zhenniang!"

Wei Shi looked at Mrs. Wei and sighed: "Grandmother, I didn't want to say these words originally, but some people are too forceful. You said you would give me a share of the store's dividends every year, how much does my grandmother think is appropriate?"

Old Madam Wei was silent for a moment: "The cost of the store, the manpower is all paid by the Wei family, how about dividing it into two percent for you?"

Wei looked at Mrs. Wei like this, Mrs. Wei was much older than when she got married, there was hardly a single black hair on her head, it was full of silver threads, her already thin face looked more shriveled, and the wrinkles were becoming more and more profound.

Wei understands that Mrs. Wei is old, and people are more confused than before, because when Mrs. Wei is not confused, she will not say such a thing as giving her a 20% dividend, it seems that the store is Wei's and not the Wei family's, and Mrs. Wei herself has forgotten it after so many years.

Mrs. Wei didn't know why, but when Wei looked at her like this, she actually wanted to avoid her gaze.

Over there, Yao was still there and said: "Two percent? How can this work! One percent is more!"

Wei didn't look at Old Madam Wei again, she looked at her pair of children, and said in a firm and cold voice: "Grandmother, I want to take back the shop, and I don't plan to hand it over to the Wei family to operate." ”

Old Madam Wei was stunned when she heard this, and she didn't know how to react for a while.

Yao Shi had already said angrily: "If you say take it back, you will take it back?" Let me tell you, those four shops are not yours for a long time, they are the property of the Wei family!"

Wei said lightly, "Who owns the shop, the contract is clear, if Mrs. Wei is illiterate, there will always be literate people." ”

Old Madam Wei's voice was a little tired and helpless: "Zhenniang, is there no room for negotiation in this matter?" Grandmother is not afraid to tell you that the Wei family needs these four shops very much now. Outsiders are all about the current scenery of the Wei family, but they don't know that this family is difficult. ”

Unexpectedly, Wei said: "Grandmother, please forgive me for being blunt, I just came all the way to see a group of servants in the house, the house is luxuriously furnished, and the clothes from the lady to the younger siblings are all worth a lot of money, and the eight treasures on the head of the lady alone are worth two hundred taels of silver, and now the Wei family is more than ten times more extravagant than when my mother was there. ”

Do you still have tickets?^_^.
