But when people opened their mouths, Su couldn't refuse, she still wanted nothing more than to borrow some silver, if she had less, she would give it, and if she had more, she would not have it, and now she still borrows silver to live.

It's not easy to talk at the door, so Su asked Zhu Xiulian to follow her to Yanmin Hall, and after entering, let her sit down and say, Zhu Xiulian carefully sat on a stool, looking a little nervous.

Su Shi said softly and asked her what was the matter?

Zhu Xiulian hesitated, raised her eyes to look at this blessed cousin who was kind-hearted and said to outsiders, and plucked up the courage to say: "Third aunt, I heard that you are going to open a dim sum shop, I don't know if you have found the shopkeeper?" I want to find something to do, the previous husband's family is a businessman, how much I have been in contact, my aunt rest assured, I can endure hardships, I just want to, several members of our Zhu family are in the Hou Mansion, all rely on the Hou Mansion to help, but the general work can be done by themselves, a few months ago my children are too young, now they are older, you can let my mother help take care of them, I do something, learn some experience, and in the future I can also buy a house by myself and move out, and my son can not marry in the Hou Mansion when he is older. ”

Su nodded in his heart, is this normal, in private, Mrs. Hou also chatted with her, saying that Cousin Dong's family is very strange, the old and the young are all women, and they can't go out to do things, so his son is in his twenties, and he lives in the inner house like this? I didn't see Cousin Dong have any ideas, but Mrs. Tai chattered that Cousin Dong expects her grandson to study hard in the future, and the whole family will get through the exam, but the grandson is less than ten years old, and some of the talents in their forties have not been examined, that is, Mr. Luo has great talent, one is the filial piety period is delayed, and the other is that he has not been out once or twice, is Cousin Dong so confident in his grandson? The Zhu family can make a move of less than twenty? Even if he wins the lift, he doesn't want to be a Jinshi, is it possible to take the exam in the Hou Mansion for a lifetime?

The Hou Mansion is a big deal to eat, but they themselves can always plan for the descendants of the Zhu family.

However, although the matter of this shopkeeper has not yet been decided, and I don't know Zhu Xiulian's ability, how can I trust her with confidence?

Zhu Xiulian plucked up the courage to finish speaking, looked at her cousin worriedly, saw the hesitation in her eyes, and hurriedly said: "Uncle, I can follow Minfu's Sister Chunxue, if Sister Chunxue says that I can't do it, I won't trouble my aunt, the business is different, and I can't rely on favors to arrange people, I understand this." ”

Hearing her say this, can the Su family still refuse? People don't think it's good to do things, and it's rare for a young woman to take the initiative to ask for things to take care of a family. Earning more and earning less is always coming out, which is better than crying and wiping tears in the inner house.

Su Shi responded with a smile, let her arrange the child, and go to Minfu to find Chunxue, she can know that Minfu knows Chunxue, and she has also inquired carefully, she is not familiar with Jingli, and there is no property to be around, she is willing to take a step, a woman, this is courage.

Zhu Xiulian got up and thanked her, Su Shi gave her a whole batch of muslin cloth in the house, and asked her to go back to make clothes for Xiao'er, she took it, and thanked her with tears before leaving.

Su sighed, and also felt that it was not easy for her to take this step, no matter how she said that she was a daughter of an official family, although she was unladylike and abandoned, but she gave birth to a child tenaciously and traveled thousands of miles to Beijing, the child was less than two years old, and she was willing to come out to do things, in ancient times, she was a person who was willing to endure hardships. The most important thing is her state of mind, she is stronger than her brother, and those who are good at hands and feet can't stand the blows and languish and malaise, is it possible that Zhu Xiulian has suffered fewer blows and hardships than her brother? Zhu Jinming still has a mother who has been helping him, but Zhu Xiulian has survived the hardships she has experienced by herself.

If a person is capable, it is nothing to arrange to be a shopkeeper in the store, anyway, the people working in the store are all women, so there is nothing inconvenient. However, this cousin Dong's family looks honest and doesn't cause trouble, the son drinks some wine, and only quarrels in his own courtyard, this Zhu Xiulian Yunniang came to gossip a few times, and it is nothing more than hearing the mother-daughter quarrel, Su is strange, Cousin Dong looks knowledgeable, kind, polite, every time he sees it, he is smiling, why do he always quarrel with her children, can't he say something well?

Su Shi, who couldn't figure it out, just thought about it, and threw it to the back of his mind, there are so many things in his own courtyard, how can he have the time to think about other family affairs.

Hu Tie rested for a few days, came to the house, told the situation in Lingnan in detail, handed over an account book, so the materials and expenses of the accounting, when buying the house Su promised to count the three rooms, Hu Tie said that he had a little silver, even if he bought it, he had to have his own home, Su also nodded, this is right, and smiled and said that he would give him a housewarming gift.

Su Shi took the account book and put it aside, and said: "The first time I got started, I was definitely not familiar with it, it will be fine in the future, don't worry, go back to Liushugou to see Mr. Cai, stay there for a few more days, talk more with the sons of the Cai family, they move wood, teach you more, what you need, and look around after you go back." ”

Hu Tie nodded, hesitated again, Su Shi wondered, why is it like this, what is so difficult to open your mouth?

Su Shi said: "If you have anything, just say it, I am also your cousin, don't be polite." ”

Hu Tie then said: "Madam, I brought some private goods by myself, and before I went to Lingnan, Song Ye said that I could bring some things to sell when I came to Beijing, so as to earn some money. ”

Su Shile said: "This is a good thing, I didn't think about it a long time ago, you can do this, come and come, bring something to sell, and keep it for your son to marry a daughter-in-law in the future, right?"

Hu Tie smiled and relaxed, he was afraid that the people of Sanfang would feel that he was doing things for Sanfang, and he was doing private work, and he wanted to write a letter to inform him before he came, but it was too late, so he had to bring the goods on his own initiative, and he was not familiar with it for the first time, and he didn't bring more. Mrs. didn't interfere, this time he took a look at it in Beijing, and he took more when he got out of the car.

Su also asked Cousin Song if he was not in Beijing, how to find a seller, Hu Tie said that there were several brothers of Song Ye who were willing to help, and there were not many goods this time, so don't worry.

Su Shi greatly praised and encouraged him, and asked him to take a good look in the capital, and what to bring to sell next time is profitable, Su Shi does not understand this aspect, and he does not come up with ideas, so let Hu Tie go and be busy himself.

After going back, Su Shi sighed for a long time, and smiled at the third old man and said that his wife may have been a businessman in her previous life, and she was excited when she mentioned business.

Two days later, suddenly Cousin Dong came to the third room to find Su, and seeing that her face was unhappy, Su retreated.

Cousin Dong first asked Shiyi Lang with concern, and then politely mentioned that her daughter came to Su, and Su thought that Cousin Dong, who was always polite and polite, knew about it and thanked her.

Before Su Shi could say anything polite, Cousin Dong said sadly: "Cousin-in-law, Xiulian came to tell you about this, I didn't know in advance, I caused trouble to my cousin-in-law." ”

"Everywhere, I can see that my niece is also a capable person. ”

"However, she is a woman, doing that kind of thing to show her face, the Zhu family is an official family, isn't it a shame? My Zhu family can't afford to lose this person, my cousin-in-law should not be afraid to reject her, what will I think, if she still comes to my cousin-in-law for this matter, she will directly refuse her, and see if she can still run out and find something to do by herself?"

Su Shi opened his mouth wide in surprise, sending people under the fence, not self-improvement and self-reliance, and still thinking about face? Could it be that sending people under the fence to live by the autumn wind is very face-saving? What is the concept?

Incredible.
