I glanced at the sky outside, and it was raining heavily. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"With such a heavy rain, I don't know if it will stop tomorrow. Xu Wanzhen was a little worried: "It's better to look at the sky, the rain is not in a hurry before going." ”

Xu Wenmin smiled and said, "My sister is really not a businessman. You know, when it comes to doing business, it's just about priorities and the weather. Tomorrow is good when it rains heavily, and others will not come to the door. Bai Yushi was in a hurry to get rid of it, and just happened to negotiate the price. ”

Xu Wanzhen chuckled: "It turns out that there are such sayings." "It's true that doing business is not your forte, so it's better to listen to professionals.

The two discussed for a while, and after a little calculation, this restaurant was opened, and it was estimated that it would cost about 5,000 taels of silver to buy a house with decoration, which was the largest investment of the Xu family after they arrived in Beijing.

After settling the accounts, Xu Wan was really a little hesitant, with such a big capital, what if she loses it?

Seeing her worries, Xu Wenmin smiled and said, "How can you make sure you don't lose money in business?" Although this idea was come up with you, I have repeatedly discussed this matter with my grandmother and think it is feasible. If you don't believe me, you have to believe my grandmother's vision, don't you? Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if it's a real loss, we have closed the restaurant and have a house. The scenery over there is much better than here. ”

Xu Wanzhen breathed a sigh of relief and said with a shallow smile: "I'm worried about nothing." Since the matter has been handed over to Elder Brother, it is up to Elder Brother to decide. ”

……

The next day, the rain poured down without any signs of abating.

After Xu Wanzhen finished dealing with the family affairs, Caisi held an oil-paper umbrella and went to Ronghui Hall.

Putting on the summer shirt she made with her own hands, Mrs. Xu smiled and couldn't close her mouth: "Zhen'er is becoming more and more capable." I like this shirt very much. ”

Yulu quipped: "Old lady, look, this crane is vivid. The maid was worried that the hand was heavy when the pulp was washed, so it flew away, and the old lady came to trouble the maid again. ”

Several people laughed.

"Zhen'er, the situation in the Zhongguo Mansion, Mama Zheng has told you everything?"

Since Mrs. Zhuang came to propose, Mrs. Xu went to check the Zhongguo Mansion, and when she got the news in the past few days, she told Mama Zheng and asked her to tell Xu Wanzhen in detail.

What is the situation in the Zhongguo Mansion, Xu Wanzhen knows it very well. But this is my grandmother's caring heart, and she can't help but accept this kindness.

"It's still my grandmother who thinks about it, and I really know it. ”

Old Madam Xu put down the teacup in her hand and sighed slightly: "It is the supreme glory of our Xu family to be married by the Queen Mother. It's just that you're really suffering, you are married so highly, and the Duchess of Zhongguo is not easy to get along with, so the days ahead will not be easy. ”

If there was no marriage stubble, Mrs. Xu would have wanted to refuse this family business. She didn't want to take a good granddaughter's life in order to make the Xu family glorious.

Xu Wanzhen said softly: "Grandmother, don't worry, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read." Zhen'er will marry sooner or later, no matter what kind of family the other party is, I am confident that I will live a good life. ”

While the two were talking, a little maid said outside the door: "Third Master Su and the eldest young master came over, and when they heard that the eldest lady was inside, they said to come in and talk." ”

Old Madam Xu nodded: "Running around in such a heavy rain, I don't know what is so important." Gyokuro, take them to the west to freshen up first, even though it's summer, don't catch a cold. ”

Xu Wanzhen smiled and said yesterday's events, "Brother and Uncle Xiao should have come back from the house, and listen to what they have to say." ”

After a while, Su Liangzhi and Xu Wenmin entered the room with their front and back feet, and the two of them combed up, but the tips of their hair were wet by the rain and were slightly wet.

Seeing the salute, Su Liangzhi's eyebrows fluttered and said, "Old lady, if it weren't for this rain, you should go and see that mansion." It is very exquisite and quiet, with Taihu Lake stone rockery, and the scenery of the garden is a few points better than listening to the perfume pavilion. I feel like it's a waste of using it to make a restaurant. ”

Xu Wenmin said with a smile: "I should really thank you for this rain, Bai Yushi's recital has been approved, he can't wait to leave now, the farther away from the capital, the better." If the weather is good today, there will be more people watching, and once there is a competition, I am afraid that the price will be at least 20% more. ”

"Didn't you say that Yushi had a clean breeze on his sleeves? How could he buy such a big mansion. Su Liangzhi asked curiously.

Old Madam Xu said with a smile: "You don't understand the doorway in this officialdom, and there are several kinds of imperial history." Seeing that a few people were looking forward to her next words, they kept silent and said, "We are really doing business, so we don't need to pay attention to this." If you get cheap, don't pursue it. ”

All the people present were smart, so they stopped asking questions and talked about the next step.

"I have already paid a deposit of 1,000 taels, and Bai Yushi is also in a hurry to get rid of it, so he went to Jingzhao Mansion in the rain to sign the contract, and the title deed is also staked over there. Tomorrow, I will deliver the remaining 1,200 taels, and then I can go to Jingzhao Mansion to get the title deed. ”

"So fast?" Xu Wan was really surprised.

"The sooner the decision has been made, the better. Xu Wenmin smiled.

Su Liangzhi said: "Mr. Ning will give 1,000 taels of silver, and I will also give 1,000 taels of silver." Ah Niang originally prepared silver for me to use in Suzhou to open a medical center. Where did I think of going to Beijing, this silver will be idle. ”

Old Madam Xu nodded and said cleanly: "That's fine." The remaining three thousand taels will be sent by the Xu family. ”

In a few words, this business was decided, and Xu Wan was secretly speechless in her heart. She knew how powerful Mrs. Xu was, but it was the first time she had seen her courage.

"Then I'll write back to Aunt Nan and tell her about the things I've decided. By the way, since the house has been bought, should we choose a good name for the restaurant?" Xu Wanzhen proposed.

Su Liangzhi nodded with interest: "Yes! Take a good one that sounds good and remembers, our restaurant is going to be famous in the capital." ”

Xu Wanzhen pursed her lips and smiled, her little uncle was full of confidence.

"Zhiwei Zhai, how's that?" Xu Wenmin said.

"Not good, not good. Su Liangzhi objected: "It's too ordinary, our restaurant is mainly based on medicinal food nourishment and health, so special, don't use such an ordinary name." ”

"I'll tell you one, how about the Materia Medica?" said Mrs. Xu.

"It's not proper," this time it was Xu Wenmin who objected: "The name of grandmother is too much like a medical hall." ”

Xu Wanzhen smiled: "I thought about it for a few days, and I got a name, but I don't know if it's good or not? ”

"Herb flavor. Su Liangzhi chewed the name carefully and said, "Shennong tasted a hundred herbs to get the "Materia Medica". The taste of herbs, the taste of herbs, good, good!"

Xu Wenmin bowed his head and said, "Not bad." ”

"Since they all think it's good, it's decided. Mrs. Xu instructed: "Although business is important, this rain is too heavy. You must pay attention to safety when you go out, for fear that those earthen walls will be soaked and collapsed and fall on your body. ”

Xu Wanzhen couldn't help but say a few words, and the two of them returned to their courtyard to change their dry robes.
