Chapter 134: Deliberation

Qin Hanzhen naturally didn't know about the sisters Qin Jinyi and Qin Jinchun, because of his "righteous and awe-inspiring" speech, there was a contradiction again. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 After she finished scolding Qin Jinyi, she left the other party behind and happily came to the Qingfeng Pavilion.

In the Qingfeng Pavilion, Qin Bai and Zhao Mo were sitting and talking to each other in the study, and Niu, Qin Ping, and Wu Shaoying were not there. After Qin Hanzhen gave his grandfather a salute, he muttered in his heart. This kind of situation is really rare, usually Qin Ping and Wu Shaoying are in the Chengenhou Mansion, they will definitely come over to accompany Qin Bai and Niu to have breakfast, and Niu is never absent, why are the three of them missing today?

Qin Bai chuckled and said, "Your grandmother met a new friend yesterday, she was so happy, she drank again, and she went to sleep until the third watch, and she was still sleepy and couldn't get up." Hengzhu has nothing to do today, so I'll let her sleep a little longer. I've told a few grandmothers and girls that they won't go into the back room to disturb them. Speak quietly, don't bother your grandmother. If she doesn't sleep well, she should be out of energy for a day. ”

Qin Hanzhen was coldly stuffed with a handful of dog food, so he could only agree with a dry smile.

As for her father Qin Ping, he actually drank too much yesterday and was very drunk, and he still has no signs of soberness, so he is still sleeping. Wu Shaoying hasn't been to Qingfeng Pavilion since she went back to the guest room yesterday, so it must be the same reason, right?

Qin Han couldn't help but be a little worried, thinking about whether he should go to the East Chamber to visit his father. Zhao Mo said to her: "Don't worry, the fourth cousin is really just asleep." I went to see it before I came over for breakfast, and my uncle and grandfather also went to see it, and the fourth cousin was fine, his face was ruddy, he slept soundly, and the smell of wine was almost gone. At yesterday's banquet, the Hou Mansion used to entertain guests with good wine, and drinking more will not hurt your body. ”

Zhao Mo slept in the East Wing last night, but he was not in the same room as Qin Ping. Since he said so, Qin Hanzhen naturally believed him, and he also relaxed his heart a little.

Qin Bai laughed at his son: "With the amount of alcohol from my true father, I am afraid that I will not be able to please him among the guards." Many of the imperial guards are the children of the noble generals, and they have raised a large number of masters since childhood. How can you deal with these people in one place and not drink alcohol? Yesterday, his colleagues were afraid that they knew that he couldn't drink enough, so they poured him when they caught him, and deliberately wanted him to make jokes. He was thin-skinned, and he couldn't pull down his face to refuse the kindness of others, so he had to drink it in a big bowl, and the amount of alcohol was limited, and it was inevitable to suffer this sin. Fortunately, he was not drunk and did not make jokes. His second sister-in-law is also thoughtful, and she prepared wine soup for everyone early, otherwise he was afraid that he would not even be able to walk back to the courtyard. ”

Qin Hanzhen felt a little sorry for his father: "Why are my father's colleagues like this? They deliberately want to get people drunk and make a fool of themselves? What kind of grudge do they have with their father?"

Qin Bai said with a smile: "It's not necessarily that there is any grudge, if he really wants to harm him, where can he hide? I looked, it seems that the older guards are quite optimistic about him, and they want to be close to him, so they will just joke with him, just like treating him as a little brother." The martial artists are close to each other, and the methods used are not quite the same as ordinary people. If you think that they are deliberately targeting you, they will be estranged from you, and you will lose a few good friends. I have to tell your father a few words, and then let him go out with your second and third uncles to socialize and get to know a few more friends. When he gets acquainted with the children of those powerful people in the capital, the road will be smoother in the future. "Qin Bai himself was mixed up like this when he was a teenager, and he can be described as a clear doorman. Although time has changed, and the capital has changed a lot compared to 30 years ago, some things are not so easy to change.

Qin Hanzhen suddenly realized.

Zhao Mo remembered what Qin Bai had told him, and sighed in his heart. Qin Bai taught him all his past experiences and experiences. His treatment in front of this uncle and grandfather is not much different from that of his uncle's son-in-law. Uncle and grandfather treated him, he really didn't say anything, he must be grateful, and he can never forget this kindness.

As soon as the doubts in his heart were solved, Qin Hanzhen focused his attention on the first question that arose after entering the courtyard: "What are grandfathers and cousins Zhao talking about? ”

Qin Bai smiled slightly: "Your cousin Zhao told me about the Wen family's visit. And he said you gave him a good idea?"

Qin Hanzhen's gaze wandered for a moment, and he laughed dryly twice before he said carefully: "I just suddenly thought of it, so I mentioned it to Cousin Zhao." I don't know if it works or how it works. I'm still an eight-year-old child, what can I know? I can't compare to my grandfather's knowledge, or did your old man give Cousin Zhao an idea?"

Qin Bai couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and couldn't help but raise his hand and gently knock on Qin Hanzhen's head: "You girl, do you think your grandfather is going to scold you? Pretending to be so careful, who are you trying to fool? In this family, is there anything you dare not do? It's just a casual proposal to open a leather shop, but you have to be so careful." ”

Qin Han really lowered his head and smiled embarrassedly.

Zhao Mo wanted to relieve her, so he took the initiative to speak: "My cousin's proposal is actually very good, and even the source of goods has been thought of for me." With the money my grandfather gave me, it was enough to make capital. It's just that it's still summer, and it's not yet the season when leather goods are hot, so you need to wait a few more days to open. In addition, my shop is located in the area of Liulichang, and it seems a little out of place to use it as a leather shop. ”

Qin Hanzhen was stunned, and secretly screamed ashamed in his heart. She gave Zhao Mo a suggestion yesterday, which was really a good intention, but she forgot these two unfavorable factors, which was really inconsiderate.

She hurriedly said to Zhao Mo: "Cousin Zhao, I'm sorry, I thought too simple yesterday. Since that shop is not suitable for opening a leather goods store, then forget it. “

Zhao Mo said: "I think my cousin's idea is very good." Although the shop is close to the glass factory, it is not in the glass factory, so it may not be possible to open a leather goods shop. Did my cousin forget? My grandfather gave me a house in Shejia Hutong. ”

Qin Hanzhen suspected that he was saving his dignity by saying this, and said very conscientiously: "Cousin, don't put gold on my face." To be honest, there was something wrong with my idea. This is your shop, and I hope that you can have a property where you can make money. If my suggestion doesn't benefit you, then why stick to it? Even if you do what I say and open a leather shop, I won't be happy if you don't make any money by then. ”

Zhao Mo's heart warmed, and he smiled and said, "How can you not make money?"

The two of them were talking lively, but Qin Bai looked at it sullenly, and couldn't help it at this time: "What are you all talking about? When did I say that Hanzhen's idea is not available?"

Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo turned their heads to look at him in unison, and their four eyes were all round.

Qin Bai smiled when he saw it: "It's not bad for the glass factory to open a leather shop, but it's a pity." As Guanglu told me, the shop is not small, and it can be used to do more useful things. The leather shop should be opened in a more prosperous place, and it is also a good idea to cooperate with Zhang Wanquan, which not only gets rid of the control of the Wen family, but also solves Zhang Wanquan's current predicament by the way. With Zhang Wanquan's temperament, as well as the relationship between Brother Hun's mother and son and our family, Guanglu can also rest assured that he has found a trustworthy partner, and he doesn't have to worry about being cheated. ”

Qin Hanzhen asked puzzledly: "Then grandfather, what kind of store is Cousin Zhao's shop used to open a store? Also, since you said that the leather store is also good, but since Cousin Zhao's shop can't open a leather store, what is the use of this idea?"

Qin Bai said to Zhao Mo: "It is best to open a leather shop in a prosperous area with a dense flow of people. When my mother was alive, there was a dowry shop, located in the corridor outside the front door, which is the most prosperous place in Beijing. The shop was originally a cloth shop, but the business was fine. The Qin family was copied that year, and the shop was also confiscated into the official, and it was not until the Qin family was rehabilitated that the shop was returned. Somehow, this shop has not been cared for by anyone for decades, and it has only been rented to someone else to open a shop, and according to the books, the rent is quite considerable. The lease expired at the beginning of the year, and now it's still empty. I didn't want to rent it out anymore, but I wanted to get back to the shopkeeper family who used to take care of my mother's cloth village and continue to open the cloth village, but the family had already gone to another owner and couldn't come back. I couldn't think of what to do with this shop for a while, but now it's cheaper to rent you a leather shop than to do it elsewhere. I'll write to Datong again and ask your fifth cousin to find Zhang Wanquan and get things done. After the notes were completed, Zhang Wanquan would transport the goods to Beijing, and it would be almost autumn, which was the time when the leather goods business was good. At that time, the shop opened, and the timing couldn't have been better. ”

Zhao Mo was very surprised: "Uncle and grandfather, this ......"

Qin Bai smiled and waved his hand: "You don't have to be polite to me." Personally, I'd rather rent the shop to you than let someone else spoil it. It was an industry that my mother had been very careful to run when she was alive. It's rare that in the past few decades, although the long house has never paid attention to it, it has not made any major changes to it, so that it remains as it is. I've been to see it before, and I'm really gratified. If it is rented to outsiders, I am afraid that the shop may not be able to maintain its original state. If I keep my own business, I don't have the right people under me. If you really have a heart, I will rent the shop to you, and you don't have to worry about the rent, and when you have a surplus, it will not be too late to count with me. It's just that the people who run the shop, you need to find a reliable and talented person, and if you lack either of these two things, you can't pick the shopkeeper of your shop. You have to know in your heart. ”

Qin Bai paused for a moment, and then continued: "As for the shop on the other side of Shejia Hutong, I also have an idea. You can live in the house at the back, and ask your grandfather and uncle to build the wall, leaving only the front pavement. I'll take a look for you, and there should be news in a while. Among the guests who came yesterday was a King Xiuning, who was a classmate of mine when I was young, and had a good relationship. His fief has always been famous for the good ink, and he is also an elegant lover, and he likes to collect Hui ink on weekdays. His eldest son took in a side room last year, and heard that he was born in an ink-making family, so his eldest son intended to open a Hui ink shop in Beijing, but he had not yet chosen a location. If you can make friends with Xiuning Palace, you will have an elder in the clan who can be relied on. King Xiuning is a gentle and generous man, and you will get along with him. ”

Zhao Mo was about to choke up at this time, and he was almost speechless.
