Chapter 257 Boiled in warm water

The princess was amazed,

"Yun Shan still has this ability? I didn't even see it!"

"Mother doesn't know yet, Sister Yunshan's ability to do business is no worse than that of Mrs. Li! In Mrs. Zhou's dowry, the shop was given to Sister Yun Shan, and the Zhuangzi was given to Sister Yun Huan, which was for this reason. ”

"If Yun Shan is asked to help Min Ying manage the shop, it makes sense, their sisters have been doing well since they were children."

The princess stroked her palm and said, Li Xiaonuan held her, her eyes rolled slightly, and then said:

"Does my mother want Sister Yunshan to help the eldest sister manage the shop for a long time, or does she just take care of it for half a year and give it to the shopkeepers when she gets on the road?"

The princess hesitated, thought carefully,

"It's good to be in charge for a long time, you just said, you can't rely on those shopkeepers, manage it for half a year and a year, and hand it back, then you have to go back again? If you want to manage it, it's better to manage it for a long time!"

"If you manage it for a long time, it's not good to let Sister Yunshan take care of it in vain, mother think about it, Sister Yunshan is close to us and the eldest sister, in the end, the surname is Jin, how can we make others for a long time?"

The princess nodded in agreement,

"You're right, this shop is also a very worrying thing, Yun Shan's own big family's affairs, let people take care of it in vain, but there is no reason for this, it is good to let her have some benefits, then you see, how much profit is appropriate?"

"The routine outside, please be such a big shopkeeper, thirty percent of the profit is always wanted, Sister Yunshan is not an outsider, if you give thirty percent according to the rules outside, she will definitely refuse to accept it, but it is not better to be less than twenty percent, we are not those who want to take advantage of others, what do you say?"

"What you say is very reasonable, Ercheng is really not much, I'll talk to Minying when I go back and see what she means."

The two discussed in a low voice, and unconsciously returned to the main courtyard, Li Xiaonuan waited for the princess to rest, returned to Qinglian Courtyard, thought back and forth a few times, and sent someone to invite Gu Yunshan to come to the house, and had important words to discuss with her.

Gu Yunshan quickly rushed to Qinglian Courtyard, Li Xiaonuan withdrew from the girl's mother-in-law, and told Cheng Minying in detail about finding someone to manage the shop, looked at Gu Yunshan and explained:

"I took this mission for you, but I also think farther, you think, in the future, you and Jin Zhiyang will live separately, speaking of which, you will live alone with your children, in a few years, when the children are older, Yan'er will have to pick others, Mo'er and Yushu will always have some playmates from childhood, and when they grow up, what is the matter, or they have entered the official career, and there are some friends who echo and take care of each other."

Gu Yunshan wrung her eyebrows and pondered, sighed softly, nodded in response, and Li Xiaonuan continued:

"However, you also know that the separation of property is not worse than widowhood, the gatherings and banquets of each family will bypass you, if so, the future of Yan'er marriage, Mo'er and Yushu, and yourself, are all things, here, the Gu family and the Zheng family, the circle is too small, if you have a place for people to beg for you, my sister-in-law and my second sister will support it in the back, and you will live a nourish life in the future."

Gu Yunshan looked up at Li Xiaonuan and sighed,

"No wonder the old ancestor always said that you have a long-term vision, I only understood today, I didn't even think about what you said, I listened to you."

"Alright, let's settle it! By the way, does Jin Zhiyang have a letter? When to enter Beijing? ”

"At the end of this month."

Gu Yunshan replied with some concern, Li Xiaonuan reached out and pressed her hand, and comforted with a smile:

"Don't worry, everything is in order, just waiting for him to enter Beijing."

Gu Yunshan nodded, worried and uneasy, where to put it, Li Xiaonuan didn't persuade much, this matter is not something that can be persuaded in a few words.

The two talked for a while, and Gu Yunshan was worried about the child, so she said goodbye and rushed back.

In April, in the blink of an eye, it was the day of the provincial examination for the three-year exam, Gu Xiao was very depressed for a while, in the last issue, Mr. did not let him go, saying that he had not succeeded in learning, this period, he guarded filial piety again, this miss, it will be another three years.

Yan casually explained Gu Xiao's depression, and didn't pay much attention to his depression, she was very busy, busy sending people around to inquire about the lively things in front of the Zou Mansion, what Wen Qinggui scolded every day, what did he say about private matters, and the mother-in-law who had to go out to inquire did not miss a word and returned clearly to be satisfied. In addition to this, she also had to send people to keep an eye on the Tang family, which one she went to today, and which place she went to tomorrow.

If you feel that something is wrong, she hurriedly sent someone to Li Xiaonuan, Li Xiaonuan said that Wen Qinggui's matter has nothing to do with her, she doesn't believe what she says, but it's a pity that he let Zou Yingnian close the case, how good it would be if this lawsuit went on forever!

Since late March, Yan has been more busy with Li Xiaonuan's signal, either going to this house or that house every day, or inviting someone to eat and drink tea at home, expressing his contempt and worry for the Zou family's wife and daughter to everyone who can express it.

“…… If such a person enters the house, someone like me who has no ability will have to wipe his neck, that is, he doesn't wipe his neck, like us who have no heart, sooner or later he will have to be made by someone else's words and one thing later, and he will lose his reputation first, and in the end, even his life will have to be sent to others! Such a person, I have no ability like this, so I have to hide and go......"

Wen Qinggui's arrogance and the silence of the Zou family confirmed the Yan family's contempt and worry, and the door of the powerful family in the capital gradually closed the Zou family's mother and daughter little by little.

Li Xiaonuan called Qianyue in, said that the Tang family had visited Gu ****'s milk, and told him to find someone to keep an eye on the second room.

“…… If it's a private matter, come and talk to me, if it's a public matter, you can talk to whoever you should talk to, and if you can't tell the difference between a public matter and a private matter, then do it as a public matter. ”

Qianyue agreed, and was about to quit, Li Xiaonuan looked up at the black jade hairpin inserted in his hair, frowned and said:

"This is not good-looking, it doesn't match you, what kind of hairpin do you use to look good, let me think about it......"

Li Xiaonuan pressed her chin with a few fingers, watching Qianyue think seriously, Qianyue gritted her teeth and was about to speak, Li Xiaonuan raised her finger violently, pointed at Qianyue and shouted:

"I remember! Except for this black flat head, you can wear anything that looks good, hurry up and go back and change it. ”

Qianyue was stunned for a moment, and swallowed sullenly,

"Young Mrs. Xie pointed out, Young Madam said, the little one is born well, as long as the person is good, it doesn't matter if the hairpin is good or not, this is excellent!"

Li Xiaonuan raised her eyebrows, looked at Qianyue and smiled,

"Sure enough, I've grown up, since you think it's good, wear it, but, occasionally, you have to change it, wear this every day, the hairpin is also tired, okay, I don't have anything to do, you retire."

Qianyue arched her hand silently, took a few steps back, and went back out of the flower hall.

Zou Yingnian's matter of filling the vacancy was pressed in the hands of Prime Minister Yan Cheng until nearly mid-April, and there was still no letter, Zou Yingnian was so anxious that he was in a hurry, and all the people who could be entrusted had it, and countless gifts were given out, but it was like boiling water splashed into the snowdrift, and there was no sound.

Zou Yingnian flew around like a fly without a head, he couldn't sleep at night, and he didn't understand who he had offended.

After thinking about it for a few nights, Zou Yingnian came up with a useful person, Jin Zhiyang's brother-in-law Gu Xiao, Jin Zhiyang said that this brother-in-law is extremely pure and good-natured, and he is very sincere, Zou Yingnian thought of it, and waited for a day or two, and waited for Gu Xiao in the alley around the corner of the ancient mansion.

Zou Yingnian pretended to meet by chance, and enthusiastically stepped forward to talk to Gu Xiao, introduced himself, and desperately pulled Gu Xiao, and must invite him to drink a glass of water and wine, so as to 'solve the yuan from Yuezhou Mansion and ask Mr. Yun for advice or two'.

Gu Xiao couldn't refuse, the two entered a wine shop, Zou Yingnian talked about his closeness to Jin Zhiyang, and Gu Xiao went back and forth, flattering Gu Xiao as much as possible.

“…… Yuezhou Mansion Xie Yuan ...... The leader of the literary circles of Liangzhelu ...... The rookie of the world ......"

Gu Xiao was praised by him with a red face, but he was also very comfortable, between the flattery of water and wine, Gu Xiao was full of promises, and wanted to urge him to get along with Yan Cheng for him, ask for personal favors, and make up for this lack as soon as possible, Zou Yingnian was overjoyed, and took out a thick stack of silver tickets on his sleeve and stuffed them into Gu Xiao's hand, Gu Xiao still had a trace of sobriety in his mind, and pushed back desperately, refusing to accept anything, Zou Yingnian had no choice but to accept the silver ticket, and continued to flatter endlessly, the two drank for more than an hour before they came out of the wine shop, Zou Yingnian personally helped Gu Xiao into the car, watched his car go in the direction of Yan's mansion, so he got into the car comfortably and went back to the mansion to wait for good news.

Gu Xiao was in the car for a while, sobered up, and hurriedly kicked the carriage board, the car stopped, Gu Xiao sat in the car with a frown and thought carefully for a long time, didn't dare to just go to talk to Prime Minister Yan like this, hung his head and thought for a while, and ordered to go to King Jing's mansion.

Zhou Jingran unexpectedly looked at Gu Xiao who was seeing the courtesy, he rarely came to the door, why did he come suddenly? This is a really honest boy with solid eyes, he has a lot of love for him in his heart, Zhou Jingran let Gu Xiao sit down, served tea, Gu Xiao sat upright, put his hands on his knees, and honestly said Zou Yingnian's request, and his own promise, looking at Zhou Jingran with help in his eyes,

"When I think about it, I feel that it is not appropriate, that a person who was so cautious and careful as my grandfather would not forget anything, and that there must be a reason for this, and besides, how could I help others to do such a request? But,"

Gu Xiao looked at Zhou Jingran in distress,

"I promised Lord Zou, but people don't know what they can do, and I can't help but do what I promised......"

Zhou Jingran opened his eyes wide, looked at Gu Xiao, and suddenly laughed out loud, stood up, and waved his hand while laughing:

"You're a ...... Honestly, good boy, this thing...... You're really ...... It's so honest. ”

Gu Xiao looked at Zhou Jingran inexplicably, confused for a while, Zhou Jingran laughed for a while, turned to look at Gu Xiao and explained:

"It's better to ask for this than to ask for it, go back, and ...... Your daughter-in-law will talk about it first, maybe she has an idea. ”

Today's third watch, the second watch, before two o'clock, kiss everyone!
