Jiang Mengzhen was extremely stubborn, although Mrs. Lin was dissatisfied, but there was still no way to deal with him: "It's not impossible for me to help you, you have to let me see it first, and there is a dowry, she can't take it out shabby......"

Old lady Lin put forward a number of requirements, some of which were more reasonable, and some of which were inevitably too harsh for Hao Cheng.

Jiang Mengzhen said: "People will definitely let you see it when the time comes, it's just a matter of dowry, I'm afraid she won't be able to prepare so much in a short time." ”

Those who marry children from high families are usually extremely rich dowries, and the dowry is only symbolically collected.

Old Man Lin patted his hands: "You listen to me about this, you stay in the capital, I will ask someone to write a letter to her, just mention these conditions, and then let that person come back to report the reaction." ”

Seeing Jiang Mengzhen's expression, he said again: "The man's family should be more reserved, otherwise the woman will not know how to cherish what is too easy to get." If she really wants to marry, she has to give you this pomp and circumstance if she goes bankrupt and borrows money, not to mention that you marry her with so much family property, she has no sincerity at all. ”

said so, but Jiang Mengzhen didn't think so. And if you don't say that the messenger will tell the truth. Even if she reported it truthfully, different people would have different feelings when they looked at Hao Cheng's reaction.

As for the word reserved, he used to be completely able to say that he was wrapped around his face, but now he is reserved and will only make people feel that he is doing. He can listen to Old Man Lin in small matters, and he naturally has his own opinions and measures on these things.

However, he didn't plan to say these words directly to Old Man Lin, after all, he had to take care of the old man's face.

Hao Cheng, who was worried about it, didn't know that Jiang Mengzhen had already decided the marriage with Old Man Lin and something like that, and after a little friction with Qiao Mu that day, she was still focused on the affairs of the restaurant.

On the day of opening, the first batch of people arranged by Hao Cheng were mixed with ordinary guests and entered the restaurant first. People have a herd mentality, and when they see which team has a long queue, they all praise it, and they will follow it to try something new.

Hao Cheng uses common marketing methods, such as three-day discounts before opening, a grading system, and relatives and friends who support the show. Whether a restaurant can be prosperous, decoration and service are important, and the most important thing is good taste.

Hao Cheng came into the store to help three days ago, obviously she was a proprietor, and she was tired enough. Congratulations want to be greeted, those who find fault are sent out, and there are some guests who are difficult to serve, and small frictions also occur.

But tired and tired, seeing those white flowers and silver, it is worth her to be tired. On the first day, the business was good, and the income reached a high of 500 taels of silver, according to the conversion rate of this era, that is, she lived in the world, and the hotel had a daily turnover of 50,000 yuan.

The restaurant is divided into three floors, the first floor is the civilian route, and there is also a storyteller's platform, which does not earn much money, mainly to attract customers. The second floor is slightly more upscale and is a private room. The decoration of the third floor can be described as extravagant, and the fee is also high.

However, the income is high, the cost is also high, and the cost and the cost of inviting those people to dinner are discarded, and the profit on the first day is only one white tael of silver.

Her investment in this restaurant was converted into almost 40,000 taels of silver, and it would take more than a year to recover the capital based on a net income of 100 taels a day.

Fortunately, revenue and profits doubled on the second day, and peaked on the third day. Hao Cheng checked the ledger and found that the main source of income was the middle and lower levels. After all, her restaurant has just started, and she is not yet famous, and those really rich businessmen who love to show off rarely come to do her business.

However, one or two of the rich businessmen can cover the income of the restaurant on weekdays, and Hao Cheng didn't think about the big thing of pies falling from the sky every day, so he could only continue to improve the food in the Ruyi Restaurant.

In this era, there was no media advertising, so she quickly became famous as Ruyi Restaurant by relying on books and magazines and word of mouth with diners.

It's definitely not enough to just make so much money. At the end of the year, she was going to delay the shareholders' dividends first, and when they became regular, the two payments would be issued together next year.

The commercial tax of the Jin Kingdom is not as strict as that of later generations, and Qiao Mu is not short of money, if he really wants to make money, considering that the restaurant will definitely agree in the future. But she had a conflict with Qiao Mu before, and even when the restaurant opened, Qiao Mu never came to cheer, and for this reason, Hao Cheng's attitude towards her was a little unpredictable.

Qiao Mu was actually not as angry as Hao Cheng thought, she was in a hurry that day, it was indeed because she was unhappy. But thinking about it later, what Hao Cheng said was not unreasonable.

But Hao Cheng refused so clearly, and there was no room for maneuver at all, which naturally made her feel very dissatisfied.

If the reason is sufficient, it will be fine, but Hao Cheng said that it is for a man who has not even decided on his name. Qiao Mu attaches great importance to his father and younger brother, and he doesn't take other men as seriously, and he can't understand Hao Cheng's behavior that he is unwilling to help her.

With a sigh of relief, she didn't even go to the restaurant to open. Of course, she didn't make trouble, so she coldly ignored Hao Cheng and waited for her to apologize and say soft words in person.

As a result, after waiting for a few days, Hao Cheng did not come to the door at all. She still couldn't pull her face, so she just asked someone to ask what Hao Cheng had been doing in recent days.

Hao Cheng is naturally understanding and reciting the questions given to her by Jiang Mengzhen, the questions of each scientific examination will be made public, and some masters will also bet on their students before the exam. If you're lucky, you might be on the list for this imperial examination.

There is no concept of past papers in this world, and some colleges will sort out this aspect, but after all, they are very few. Jiang Mengzhen, as a man who does not participate in the scientific examination, was able to think of such a play, and he could still give her a question, which was already a big surprise to Hao Cheng.

Naturally, she couldn't live up to his hard work, even if Jiang Mengzhen's information was of no great use, she decided to memorize this thick stack of them.

Maybe it's because the power of love is great, in her previous life, she was most annoyed by memorizing these things, but now, when she looks at those manuscripts, she looks at them like babies, and when she endorses them, she also thinks of Jiang Mengzhen's face, and she doesn't feel a little bored at all.

After all, it was the first time that Jiang Mengzhen had carefully prepared for her, and she had to keep it well after reciting it, and it could be regarded as a token of love at that time.

In a blink of an eye, the two were separated for more than a few months. Hao Cheng wrote a lot of letters to Jiang Mengzhen, but she was not used to writing letters, and she couldn't write those fleshy sentences, so she picked up some interesting things every day.

After saving about six or seven pieces of stationery, Hao Cheng bought a beautiful envelope, put a few dried plum blossom petals into it, and sprinkled a little spice on it, before spending silver and asking the postman to send her letter to the capital.

Jiang Mengzhen received Hao Cheng's letter when Hao Cheng had been waiting anxiously for seven days, and when he came back from the Lin family, the porter handed him the letter.

Jiang Mengzhen only glanced at the payment, then put the letter away and asked, "When did this letter arrive?" ”

The porter looked at his expression, but still told the truth honestly: "This letter arrived three days ago. ”

Jiang Mengzhen immediately reprimanded her: "Why don't you go to the Lin family and hand it over to me, the next time I see the letter from her, no matter where I am, I must send it earlier!" ”

The general's mansion is under the control of Jiang Mengzhen, and the letters sent to him will naturally not be secretly stopped. Letters sent by important people are usually sent by special people, or Jiang Mengzhen has paid special attention to them, even if he is not in the house, the concierge will look for them.

But Jiang Mengzhen never ordered it at all, and this letter was sent by an ordinary postman. Jiang Mengzhen hadn't read most of the stranger's letters, how did she know that Hao Cheng's letter would be so important.

The porter was very aggrieved, but he didn't dare to refute the master on the spot. His tone was stern, and the porter didn't dare to make a sound, thinking that he was going to be unlucky, but Jiang Mengzhen ordered: "Seeing that you keep it well, I will go to the treasury to get five taels of silver later." ”

"Thank you, master!"

Jiang Mengzhen didn't look at the doorman's smiling face, and quickened his pace with the letter, he couldn't wait to open it.

As soon as the letter was opened, a few petals fell, and the letter paper was the common one, slightly yellowed, but the raw edges were deliberately smoothed, and there was a faint fragrance. He thought that Hao Cheng was writing some affectionate sentences, but when he looked at it, it was all trivial and trivial.

Moreover, there are some differences in the size of the ink and handwriting on different letterheads, which are obviously accumulated over several days. Jiang Mengzhen couldn't cry or laugh for a moment, but the next moment he calmed down and read it word by word.

Obviously it was a trivial matter that couldn't be more boring, but Jiang Mengzhen seemed to have read the letter back and forth under the lamp more than a dozen times, Jiang Mengzhen put the letter away very preciously, and then picked up the pen and prepared to reply.

He wrote several sheets, crumpled them and threw them into the paper basket. Finally, I wrote for several days, and finally sent the letter.

When Hao Cheng received the reply, he was very excited. She pinched the envelope and felt that it was a thick stack, and she didn't know what Jiang Mengzhen had written. She returned to her lodgings, carefully opened the envelope sealed with beeswax, and drew a stack of silver tickets, all of which were large amounts.

She didn't care how much it was. I shook the envelope, and a piece of paper folded in the shape of a heart fell inside.

She would carefully open the letter, and there were only two large letters on the snow-white letterhead—to be married.
