Chapter 291: Business
Coming back from Li Jing, Lin Ruoxuan pulled Lin Zhixuan and sighed: "You see that Jing'er has been married, and you haven't settled here yet." The old lady www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion obviously promised me, but now she always seems to be unconcerned. ”
Lin Zhixuan said with a smile: "Now that the Li family is eventful, where can the old lady take care of me?"
Lin Ruoxuan said: "You too, the old lady is not in a hurry, you always hide in my house, and you don't look anxious." But if you put half of your mind on me at the beginning, you would have already done it now. ”
Lin Zhixuan listened to Lin Ruoxuan's complaining words, looked at her and smiled: "I have been helping you take care of the shops and Zhuangzi in Liangjiajing these days, and I have picked the steward for you to change the head, but now there is a little improvement, I haven't even rested, and you are looking for something to do for me." ”
Lin Ruoxuan looked at Lin Zhixuan's cynical appearance, and said with hatred: "This is your own business, you are not in a hurry, just let me be in a hurry, what can I do? I really don't know what you think in the future." ”
Lin Zhixuan and Lin Ruoxuan said that they had returned to Qiushuangzhai, the two went back to the main hall, and Dongmei and the others were also talking to Lin Ruoxuan's maids in the main hall.
Lin Zhixuan and Lin Ruoxuan sat down on the kang in the west room, Lin Zhixuan picked up the small clothes that were half embroidered in the morning, and suddenly said lightly to Lin Ruoxuan: "Sister, I don't want to get married." ”
Lin Ruoxuan was taken aback: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Lin Zhixuan's needlework did not stop: "At least I won't marry in the capital." These days in the Li family, you don't have to look at it, the companion is like a tiger, those dignitaries in Beijing, what kind of days are they living in the day.
The men compete for fame and fortune in the court, and the women fight openly and secretly in the back house. Cheng was so frightened and frightened, I don't know when the whole family will be buried. Where could there be more comfort than our time in Hangzhou?"
Lin Ruoxuan was stumbling for a long time, wanting to say something but was speechless to refute.
Lin Zhixuan looked at Lin Ruoxuan's appearance, but put down the needle and thread, patted Lin Ruoxuan's hand lightly and said: "Sister, I know what you mean, you want me to marry a good family and live a comfortable life in the future, but what kind of people are called good people? What kind of days are good days?"
Lin Ruoxuan also sighed when she heard Lin Zhixuan's words, but said: "Maybe my sister is right, I don't know as much as you, and I don't think as well as you, but I always feel that at least I have to be worthy of you." If you are asked to marry a gentleman and a wealthy merchant at this time, will you be able to live with him for the rest of your life?
The children of high-ranking officials and noble families, although they are not all excellent, but at least they are knowledgeable and learned, and their character and etiquette are taught and framed by everyone's rules, and they will not go wrong. I can't go and show you for myself, it's your own day to see whether it's good or bad.
I only listened to Jing Zhi's words, this day the young talents from the south and north of the South China Sea are flocking to the capital, I always feel that there are more opportunities to find you a wishful man in the capital than in a small place like Hangzhou. ”
Lin Zhixuan was speechless, and only said: "Don't talk about this, I'm in the capital now, I just want to help you open the shop well, and take care of you to give birth to the child safely, this is the purpose of my sister calling me here, you didn't say in the letter that you want to pester me to tell me about family affairs, if I knew this, I wouldn't come." ”
As for the taste of getting married, having children, being a wife, and being a mother, she has already tasted it, except for those children, there is nothing worthy of her nostalgia.
She can treat Sister Xin as her own Sister Lin, as a compensation from God, and then take care of her mother for the rest of her life to make up for the regrets of her previous life.
She avoided Xie Wendong, and now that the worries of the Liang and Li families have been resolved, the Lin family can gain a foothold in Jiangnan safely, and the incense of the Lin family can continue so tepid forever.
She was already content.
For the rest, I don't think about anything.
Lin Zhixuan looked at Lin Ruoxuan's appearance of wanting to persuade again, and said with a smile: "Okay, my sister still has a lot of account books that I haven't read, didn't I call the shopkeepers of a few shops in the outer city to talk about our newly opened fragrance shop, people are coming soon, and my sister should also prepare." My family affairs, my sister should still leave it to my mother to worry about. It's not that you don't know your mother's temper, if you come to match, it's good or bad, and your mother will blame you for any trouble in the future, why do you bother to make trouble for yourself?"
"You mouth, you can really say that the dead are alive. Lin Ruoxuan still had to speak, and sure enough, the legend came from the green lan outside, Qi Baolu, the big shopkeeper of Dashilar Baoxiang Zhai, and Shen Pozi and Gu's mother from Yaowu Hutong came over.
Qi Baolu was asked by Lin Ruoxuan and Lin Zhixuan to come here, but why did Mrs. Shen and Mother Gu, who were looking at Yaowu Hutong, come?
Lin Zhixuan said: "You go and talk to Qi Baolu first, I'll go to see Gu's mother, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
Lin Ruoxuan went to the main hall as expected, but Lin Zhixuan led Gu's mother back to the east wing.
Qiu Ju and Xia Lan were also close relatives when they saw Gu's mother, and Gu's mother brought them a lot of food and toys from Dashilar, which coaxed Dongmei to surround her.
Seeing Lin Zhixuan coming out, Gu's mother stepped forward to greet Lin Zhixuan with a happy face: "Girl, how are you these days? I'm worried that these little girls are playful and can't take good care of you." ”
Lin Zhixuan smiled and helped Gu's mother up and said, "There is no one more dedicated than a few of them, why are you here today?"
Gu's mother wrinkled her brows and said: "It's not that Mrs. Shen, I heard that the second aunt and grandmother are rectifying the industry in the Liang family's capital these days, and she doesn't want to guard that broken house anymore, and I don't know where I heard that the second aunt and grandmother are going to open a fragrant dew shop in Dashilar, so they have to pester me, let me lead her to follow and insert a piece of soup, and threaten the matter of Chun Tao! I'm afraid that if she says it, there is no way, it is worth leading her here, and I ask the girl to help me come up with an idea." ”
"How's Chun Tao?" asked Lin Zhixuan.
Gu's mother said: "Spring peaches are not in the way, they eat white and fat." ”
Lin Zhixuan nodded before continuing to ask, "What kind of person is that Shen Pozi, what does she want to do?"
Gu's mother twisted her eyebrows and said, "It's not a very broken mouth, but it's an open-eyed person who sees money." I think it means that I want to follow the light, like the house in Zhujia Hutong, with a house at the back and business at the front. ”
Lin Zhixuan nodded and said, "Who else is there in the house in Yaowu Hutong besides Mrs. Shen?"
Gu's mother said: "She is in charge of the house, as well as her two sons and daughter-in-law, all living there. He was in charge of the house with some fruits and vegetables, the eldest son was strong and healthy, and he did some work to carry a sedan chair at the city gate, and the younger son would blow suona, and he would pick up a little red and white ceremonies. ”
Lin Zhixuan nodded when she heard the words and said, "You went over and asked Mrs. Shen to come to see me." (To be continued.) )
