15. Chapter 015
After the two sat down at the table, Uncle Zhang took a closer look at Sister Hui'er and saw that she didn't look like she had been wronged, so he reluctantly put his mind at ease, and after asking her about her recent situation, he said to her, "Let's talk about it later, you came so early, I'm afraid you didn't eat well, I asked people to prepare what you like to eat." ”
Sister Hui didn't postpone it, and nodded in response.
The shopkeeper quickly delivered the things ordered by Uncle Zhang, and after Uncle Zhang and Sister Hui had eaten, they began to talk about business.
Sister Hui asked, "Uncle Zhang, I remember that in my mother's wedding list, there are several shops in Liuzhou." ”
Uncle Zhang nodded, "Yes, it's a fabric business, what's wrong?"
Sister Hui hesitated for a moment and replied, "I want to use them to do other businesses." ”
Although Uncle Zhang felt a little surprised when he heard this, he didn't think she was messing around, but asked her seriously, "What business does Sister Hui want to do?" The name of the daughter's family can't be known to outsiders, Uncle Zhang will call her the sixth girl in front of others, and no outsiders will call her Sister Hui.
Sister Hui replied, "Rice and grain business." ”
Compared with fabrics, rice grain is a relatively safe business, but Uncle Zhang can't figure it out, the business of several shops in Liuzhou is very good, and the annual income is quite considerable, under such a premise, how could Sister Hui think of changing her career to do rice and grain business.
He thought of it, so he asked Sister Hui truthfully.
Sister Hui bit her lip and looked at him, "Uncle Zhang, you believe that I am good this time, let's do our best to change to the rice and grain business, and try to do as much as possible, as for the price, you don't have to care too much, even if it is ...... Forget it, if you can charge more, you can charge more. She originally wanted to say that even if it was collected according to the price bought in the market, it would be nothing, as long as it took less than two months, she would be able to recover the principal with interest, and it could be multiplied several times.
But thinking about it, she still swallowed back the words that came to her mouth, not the more words, the better, and sometimes it is wrong to say too much.
Sister Hui has no talent for business, the reason why she thought of this is because she has the memory of her previous life, because the past time is too long, she only vaguely came to Quanzhou in the early summer of this year, due to heavy rains, the water level of the Huai River rose, washed away the upstream embankment, located in the downstream Liuzhou was flooded, and the crops that had just been planted were flooded. For the whole year after that, the grain prices in the vicinity of Liuzhou remained high, and it was not until the new season that the grain harvest gradually decreased.
Uncle Zhang's experience is comparable even if Sister Hui'er is a person in two lifetimes combined, and he can see that the reason why Sister Hui is doing this is definitely not empty words, but she is sure, but she is afraid that it is inconvenient for her to say the specific reason.
Although the Shen family is not high, there is no shortage of silver, Shen Yu as the most favored daughter of the Shen family, ten miles of red makeup when she got married, and every lift is a real real gold and silver treasure, if you only talk about the value, I am afraid that many Jian'an nobles can not compare.
Not to mention that Sister Hui just wants to try her hand with a few Zhuangzi, but a few more is not a problem.
She didn't want to say the reason, so Uncle Zhang didn't ask, but only asked her, "I've written it down, and I'll do my best to send someone to do it, besides, Sister Hui has anything else to explain?"
When Sister Hui heard this, she was relieved. No matter in her past life or present life, Uncle Zhang is so good to her, no matter what she says, he will never question it, he will only try his best to do it for her. It's a pity that she was too stupid in her last life, she obviously took such a good handful of cards, but in the end she lost completely, lost her life, not to mention, and harmed the people around her to die well, father, mother, Brother Zhen, Uncle Zhang......
"Sister Hui'er, what's wrong, but what's uncomfortable?" Uncle Zhang couldn't help but be a little worried when he saw that her expression was not quite right.
Sister Hui came back to her senses, shook her head and said that it was okay, she put away her thoughts, thought about it carefully, and replied, "There is nothing else to do on my side, as for my grandfather's side, if they are willing to believe me, this business can also be done, although the Shen family may not lack these few dollars." It's this time that you've come all the way to trouble. ”
Uncle Zhang smiled, "Sister Hui, don't say that, this is what I should do." ”
The two chatted for a while, seeing that the time was almost noon, Sister Hui stood up and walked to the window and pushed open the window, the endless flow of people came into view, the carriage of Xie Fu downstairs was parked on the side of the road, and the coachman sat on the frame boredly, dangling his legs. It seems that Shen Shu and the others haven't come back yet.
Sister Hui thought of Shen Shu and Brother Zhen, and unconsciously raised the corners of her lips to reveal a smile.
Seeing this, Uncle Zhang hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Sister Hui'er is doing well when she comes in?"
Sister Hui knew what Uncle Zhang was worried about, and remembered that he had asked this in his previous life, but not at this time, but when she grew up, at that time she hated Shen Shu completely, and Uncle Zhang was not an outsider, so she told the truth what she thought in her heart, which made Uncle Zhang feel distressed. Now she is no longer the ignorant child she was at the beginning, she knows that Shen Shu is not a person who is greedy for wealth and power, but is really good to her and Brother Zhen, those slanderous words, naturally it is impossible to say those slanderous words like in the previous life.
"Mother is very good to me and Brother Zhen, a few days ago I was sick because of the soil and water adaptation, it was my mother who worked hard to take care of me day and night, she was also very good to Brother Zhen, and made him a gadget before, called a microphone, just two bamboo tubes and a cotton thread, talking to the bamboo tube at this end, even if it is a distance, the other end can also be heard, but interesting. ”
When Uncle Zhang heard this, he was a little surprised in his heart, this was obviously a little different from what Shen Yu said, she said that Shen Shu was the kind of dull person, although she didn't have any heart, but whatever she promised, she would do it no matter what. She rarely speaks, and if she doesn't know, I'm afraid she'll be treated as dumb, and it's hard to please people. And the reason why Shen Yu chose her was precisely because of her temperament.
However, Uncle Zhang was just thinking about it, and his attention was quickly attracted by the gadgets in Sister Hui'er's mouth. He was a natural businessman, with an unusually keen sense of smell, and even if he hadn't seen a real thing, he felt that the thing called a microphone might be of great help to him just by describing it.
One of the big heads of the dowry that Uncle Zhang took care of for Shen Yu was the wine business, this year because the head of Zhizhou was changed, the newly appointed Lord Lin was a person who didn't eat oil and salt, even if he carried the Xie family out, it was useless, and it was too difficult to get more wine from him. Not long ago, he found out that the birthday of the little son of Master Lin's family is approaching, and the three generations of his family are very precious to this child, if he can please this child, he must be able to speak better in front of him.
Uncle Zhang asked Sister Hui about the specific situation of the microphone.
There is nothing to hide about this, so Sister Hui told the truth, but she only described the appearance in more detail, and she didn't know what the specific principle was.
After finishing speaking, Sister Hui got up again and walked to the window, and at a glance saw two familiar figures in the crowd, Shen Shu took Brother Zhen'er's hand all the way, followed by Liuli, she and Brother Zhen didn't know what they were talking about, and would lower their heads from time to time.
Uncle Zhang also followed and stood by the window, followed Sister Hui'er's line of sight, and easily found Shen Shu's figure. He followed Shen Yu before he got married, and when he went to Shen's house to report at the end of the year, he had met Shen Shu once or twice, although he couldn't pay attention to it, but he could tell that she was really different from the beginning, to put it more clearly, as if he had changed from an emotionless puppet to a living person.
Uncle Zhang suddenly had some doubts about Shen Yu's original opinion, people's hearts are changeable, the original child is now married to a wife, will her mind really be the same as at the beginning?
Before he could draw a conclusion, Sister Hui'er's voice interrupted his thoughts, "Uncle Zhang, you can accompany me to meet my mother." ”
Whether it is Shen Shu or Uncle Zhang, they are her closest people, since Shen Shu is unwilling to come up, then she will take Uncle Zhang to see her. Sister Hui vaguely felt that Shen Shu didn't seem to treat Uncle Zhang very well later, although the two basically didn't meet each other, but every time she talked about Uncle Zhang, Shen Shu's expression would gradually fade. Sister Hui didn't know what the misunderstanding was going on, she just hoped that it wouldn't happen again in this life.
When Uncle Zhang heard this, he nodded in response. He casually closed the window, asked Amber to call the shopkeeper to settle the bill, and then went downstairs and out of the inn with Sister Hui'er, and walked to the carriage parked on the side of the road.
When they arrived, Shen Shu and Brother Zhen also came over.
Seeing the person standing next to Sister Hui'er, Shen Shu was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, this should be the Uncle Zhang she talked about before. Shen Shu was not familiar with him, so she only nodded her head to say hello, and then turned her eyes to Sister Hui'er, "But it's okay to talk?"
Sister Hui nodded, "Let's talk." Mother, let me introduce you to you, this is Uncle Zhang, is ...... The chief steward of Zhuangzi. The word "mother" is omitted.
Shen Shu also knew the meaning of her words, and irrepressibly thought of Shen Yu again, and her brain began to hurt again without accident, she pressed down the consciousness of wanting to frown, and was about to speak, so she listened to Zhang Bodao, "Second girl, I haven't seen you for many years." "His name is Shen Yu's eldest girl, and Shen Shu is naturally the second girl.
Shen Shu didn't have a complete memory of the original owner, so naturally she didn't know this person, so she didn't answer what he said, nodded again, and said to Sister Hui'er, "Since we have negotiated, we should also go back." ”
Sister Hui responded and said goodbye to Uncle Zhang, "Uncle Zhang, I'm leaving." With that, he let Amber help her into the carriage. After she got into the car, Uncle Zhang suddenly said to Shen Shu, "Second Miss, can you take a step to speak?"
Shen Shu glanced at him and nodded.
The two of them walked to the alley next to the restaurant one after the other, and there was no one around, so Uncle Zhang asked directly, "Second girl, Sister Hui just told me that she wants to change the fabric business of several shops in Liuzhou to the rice grain business, and told you to save as much as possible, do you know about this?"
