Second Uncle Xia's family can't take care of the affairs of Old Man Xia, let alone them. Aunt Xia only told Pearl www.biquge.info tell her that the next time Guo Yuhuan meets her again, she will not promise Guo Yuhuan when she goes to Yaowangmiao Hutong.

However, what happened afterwards proved that Aunt Xia was too worried. Guo Yuhuan often went to Yaowangmiao Hutong after that, but he never came to find pearls to accompany him.

Next door, Guo Xi's house

Guo Xi and Guo Qian were interrogating Guo Yuhuan in every detail, and Guo Yuhuan also told the two of them about the Yaowangmiao Hutong with relish, mainly about how luxurious the house was and how extravagant Zhang Qiaoer's food and clothing were. She told Guo Xi and Guo Qian that Zhang Qiaoer liked her very much.

"She also said that I should go more often in the future so that I can talk to her." Guo Yuhuan said, and took out the handkerchief and ring given by Zhang Qiaoer for Guo Xi and Guo Qian to see. "This time there are many of us who go, if it were only me and Pearl Go, the meeting gift would definitely be thicker. In the future, if I go alone......"

Guo Yuhuan didn't say the following words, but Guo Xi and Guo Qian had already understood.

"I'm really not available today. Next time, I'll accompany you. Guo Qian said.

has been there once, and has known Zhang Qiaoer, Luo Juan and others, Guo Yuhuan feels that there is no need for people to accompany him. Although Guo Qian is her mother-in-law, she is not very clever, and sometimes she doesn't speak very well. Therefore, Guo Yuhuan was not willing to let Guo Qian accompany her.

"Mother, I've already recognized the door. What are you doing with me? There are so many things at home, you can just help my dad at home. Guo Yuhuan pouted.

"You kid. How can you go alone? Guo Qian scolded with a smile, "I also have to officially come to the door to meet you." You can settle things alone, or I have to go with your father. ”

Guo Yuhuan's face was slightly red, she pulled the handkerchief in her hand, and stopped speaking shyly.

Guo Xi and Guo Qian both laughed. Guo Qian also asked Guo Xi's opinion: "That's what was said at the wine table, do you think this thing can be done?" ”

"I think I can." A smile tugged at Guo Xi's dry face, "What a big family business the old man's family is." The old Zhang family is on the top, and although the second child of the Xia family is one layer behind, it is also an endless benefit. There is no one in the old Zhang family, so the second family of the Xia family is called for such a big matter, and they will have to rely on them for everything in the future. ”

"Our old wine, the second child of the Xia family said that he would package it. Putting others aside, how can they have this ability. You also heard from the second child of the Xia family that in the future, the master of the prison will be official, and their family will have to follow. The second eldest of the Xia family is a man who can make money. His two sons, the younger one is not a big deal, Xia Zhu is the boss, and he has to do everything before Xia Zhu. Our girl follows Xia Zhu, which is better than following a small trader. ”

Guo Yuhuan was twelve years old, and Guo Xi and Guo Qian were already worried about his family affairs. They think that she is better than everyone else, so they inevitably have a higher heart.

They don't look down on small businessmen with similar family backgrounds, but no matter how high the family is, they may not be able to look down on them, and Guo Yuhuan has only one daughter, without the help of brothers, many families are unwilling to marry such a girl.

As for getting into a poorer offspring, this is something that Guo Xi and Guo Qian never thought about.

Their shop suffered this time, and it couldn't be relieved in a short time. Guo Xi moved to other thoughts.

"Gui Fangzhai is a big shop, I think the second child of the Xia family has no less food and no less fishing with Xia Zhu. Our wine shop is no longer good, I plan to follow the second child of the Xia family in the past, no less than our shop. …… In the future, if they follow the master of the prison to become officials, our family will follow. Our old brothers help each other, which is better than opening any shop. ”

Guo Xi told his wishful thinking, and Guo Qian thought so. Guo Yuhuan replied shyly, but he was also full of joy. At that moment, the family of three will make up their minds, Guo Xi will go to Guifangzhai tomorrow to find Second Uncle Xia, and Guo Qian and Guo Yuhuan will go to Yaowangmiao Hutong.

……

After the Dragon Boat Festival, Xia Zhi began to slowly close her small workshop. The deed with Gui Xiang Zhai has been decided, and the follow-up of the champion dumplings has been taken over by Gui Xiang Zhai, and even a few capable female workers have been arranged.

Of course, these female workers are very grateful for the summer solstice, and they work harder and harder.

occupied the backyard of Aunt Xia's house these days, Xia Zhi originally wanted to give some rent, but Aunt Xia and Changsheng naturally refused to accept it. Xia Zhi didn't insist on giving, thinking about what gift to buy for Aunt Xia's family.

Pearls are the smallest in the house and the most favored. Xia Zhi knew that she had always wanted a moon dress, so he took her to make one. Pearl was overjoyed and treated her with kindness. Aunt Xia scolded her for spending too much money, but Uncle Guo praised her for being able to do things.

In addition to the Yuehua skirt for Pearl, there was also a pair of shoes promised to Changsheng, and Xia Zhi bought small gifts for Aunt Xia, Uncle Guo and Changsheng, which were not too expensive, but they were all very intimate.

As for the zongzi that everyone eats during the Dragon Boat Festival, they are naturally wrapped in the workshop. This kind of arrangement of the summer solstice ended up happy. Collected the workshop, and Xia Zhi also took out all the accounts.

The four hundred taels of silver were all used as the capital of the summer solstice, and all the costs and expenses were removed, and finally returned to the summer solstice, with a total of eight hundred and fifty-six taels of silver hanging zero. Xia Zhi put the fragments of silver in the dresser and collected them, and went to Li Xia with the whole eight hundred taels of silver.

Li Xia did not have a separate courtyard in Wenshan Academy. When he was in the academy, he was usually in the courtyard of Li Shanchang. Today, Li Shanchang is not here, and only Li Xia is alone in the wing.

Seeing Xia Zhi and the little black fish coming, Li Xia was very happy.

"Li Xia Gongzi has been very busy lately." Xia Zhi put a food box on the table and said to Li Xia with a smile. Before she came, she deliberately went to the kitchen to make two small snacks, which were originally intended to be given to Li Shanchang.

Li Xia has been really busy lately. Academically, it is needless to say. One more thing is the holidays. A big family like the Li family, with an identity like Li Xia, will inevitably be sent these days. Xia Zhi knew that he was busy, so he came to him after the festival.

"You don't understand my suffering, but you make fun of me." Li Xia had a wry smile on his face, he opened the food box by himself, took the snacks made by Xia Zhi, and began to eat with tea. "Sixteen, uncle, you guys will be happy to play."

The little black fish laughed, he was quite sympathetic to Li Xia. However, he still told Li Xia all kinds of interesting things such as Xia Zhi and Tian Laibao, how to visit the night market on Xishi Street.

"Ah, why don't you play with me." Li Xia sighed deliberately.

"Even if we're looking for you, can you play with us?" Xia Zhi said with a smile.

Li Xia smiled helplessly. He's been so busy these days. Otherwise, there would be no need for Xia Solstice and Little Black Fish to come to him at all, he would have gone to them himself.

"It's not this year, next year, next year, you come back to the Dragon Boat Festival, I'll have a good time with you."

"Li Xia, are you free now?" The little black fish asked Li Xia, "Let me tell you, there is a particularly delicious kebab, and I and Sixteen are cute to eat." Come, let's go eat together. ”

Little Black Fish introduced the skewers of the Xishi Street Night Market to Li Xia, and the good things should be shared with everyone.

Li Xia knew that Xia Zhi and Xiao Heiyuer would soon return to Daxingzhuang. He was very busy in the first two days, and it was also to free up some time to spend more time with them. The little black fish said this, Li Xia deliberately thought for a while, and then nodded to the little black fish as if he had made a lot of determination.

"I'm going to try it, I'm sure it's delicious, won't you?"

"Guaranteed to be delicious." The little black fish was amused by Li Xia and giggled, "Li Xia, come here, I invite you." Sixteen has paid me. ”

"Oh, my uncle has money in his hands. I'm going to have to eat this skewer. Uncle, do you have enough money, I can eat it. "Li Xia is quite good at teasing children.

The little black fish said it must be enough. "Sixteen has paid me, and I haven't spent it yet. I just want to invite you to eat kebabs. ”

"Uncle, you're too kind to me." As soon as Li Xia was happy, he lifted the little black fish. The little black fish is of high seniority, and Old Man Xia is old again, and no one has been elevated with him for a long time. The little black fish deliberately put on a straight face, but after all, he didn't stop it, and finally smiled.

Only Xia Zhi and Li Xia are here, and the little black fish doesn't care so much about the identity of his elders.

Xia Zhi sat next to him and watched Li Xia and the little black fish play, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled slightly. Li Xia likes children so much, and he will coax children to play, if he has a child himself in the future, I don't know what the situation will be, it should be very interesting.

"Sixteen, what do you want?" Li Xia put down the little black fish, and saw Xia Zhi holding his cheeks and laughing, so he asked Xia Zhi.

Xia Zhi came back to his senses and hurriedly waved his hand: "I didn't think about anything." ”

"Are you just here to find me, or are you looking for my father?" Li Xia also sat down at the table and asked Xia Solstice with a smile.

"Of course I'm looking for you. But I also want to see the mountain chief, it's okay, I just want to see his old man's house and say goodbye to his old man. Xia Zhi said with a smile.

"It's okay. He went to visit a friend today. I'll bring it to him if you say it. Don't say it, my dad is quite rare for you and uncle. As Li Xia spoke, he took all the things on the table, and then told Xia Zhi that he would spend the rest of his time today with her and Little Black Fish.

The little black fish cheered.

"That's great." Xia Zhi said, "I've collected almost everything from the workshop, and I've brought all the money." "Seven hundred taels of silver have been exchanged for silver tickets of different sizes and denominations one after another on the summer solstice. She took out the silver ticket and showed it to Li Xia.

Li Xia looked at it and said with a smile: "I earn a lot." ”

"It's okay." Xia Zhi's attitude is very calm. This year, she has laid a good foundation for the champion zong, and after the union with Guixiangzhai in the coming year, the market share of the champion zongzi will definitely be higher, and it will not only be to make this money at that time.

Li Xia saw that Xia Zhi had brought all the money, and he didn't say much, so he beckoned the servant to prepare the carriage.

"Let's send the money over now."

Xia Solstice nodded naturally. She and the little black fish followed Li Xia out and got into the carriage, and went straight to Dongshi Street. Li Xia was looking for the largest pawnshop on Dongshi Street, "Open Source Dang", for Xia Zhi. He was familiar with the way, and soon helped Xia Zhi and the pawnshop to make a deed. Eight hundred taels of silver are put into the pawnshop, and it is one and a half percent of the profit every year. When the time comes, the dividends can be withdrawn or continued to be placed in the pawnshop to generate profits.

Such a dividend is naturally not as good as the usury with rolling interest, but it is already very high at the moment. If you put 800 taels of silver for a year, the calculated bonus will be 120 taels, which is enough for ordinary people with small families to live for two or three years. If it weren't for Li Xia's help, Xia Zhi wouldn't have been able to find a store willing to give such a high bonus.

Eight hundred taels of silver, which can be regarded as a small shareholder in open source, is all because of Li Xia's way.

With the deed in his sleeve, the summer solstice is in a good mood. From now on, she will be a person with a fixed income. But that's just the beginning. Of course, the summer solstice will not be satisfied with an income of one hundred and twenty taels a year. She hopes that through hard work, her life can be a little better and better.

While she is doing well, she also hopes to help those she cares about.

"Sixteen, that's how you keep this deed." Li Xia looked at Xia Zhi.

Xia Zhi will go back to Daxingzhuang in the next few days, if this deed is discovered by Tian. Although Tian can't read a few words, he is not afraid of 10,000, just in case.

Xia Zhi is also thinking about how to collect this deed. In addition to this deed, she also has a deed with Guixiang Zhai's champion zongzi.

"Li Xia, otherwise, I'll put these two deeds with you, and you can keep them for me." Xia Zhi thought about it and discussed it with Li Xia.

"It's not impossible." Li Xiaxiao's eyes were crooked, Xia Zhi trusted him so completely, which made him feel indescribably good. However, he thought more about the summer solstice. "I'll teach you another way."

Out of the pawnshop, Li Xia led Xia Zhi and Xiao Heiyuer to a silver building. Li Xia whispered a few words to the young man in the silver building, and the young man came out with a tray.

There are silver hairpins, silver bracelets, and silver cleats on the tray. The guy asked them to pick whatever they wanted.

Summer Solstice was a little confused.

Li Xia smiled and gestured to the young man. The young man understood, he first picked up a silver hairpin, and gently unscrewed one end of the hairpin to show Xia Zhi.

It turns out that the hairpin is hollow, and a paper roll can be placed in the gap.

The garlic of the silver bracelet can also be unscrewed, because the lock plate is two pieces together, and some things can be placed inside, such as one or two silver tickets, or a thin deed that is tightly rolled.

The eyes of the summer solstice are bright.

"Even if you don't release the deed, you can hide one or two silver tickets for emergency use." Li Xia said to Xia Zhi in a low voice.

"Li Xia, how do you know this?" Xia Zhi asked Li Xia curiously. Li Xia could not see such jewelry with a mechanism on his body.

Li Xia smiled, "Sixteen, don't ask about this." Well, I'll tell you later. ”

If you don't say it now, when will you say it later? Li Xia is also quite eccentric, Xia Zhi thought.
