11. Chapter 11
"What are you going to do in the shop?!" Yan listened to Xie Liangying's words and beat a drum in her heart, and she also sighed that she remembered her little daughter in her heart, and suddenly disappeared, and a thick disgust arose spontaneously. She has long been selling her dowry because she wants to subsidize the Xie family, and she still has a few shops in her hand but she doesn't want to move, one is to plan for Xie Liangyun's marriage in the future, and the other is also for her body.
Now Xie Liangying opened her mouth to ask for a shop, which was simply going to move her life.
Xie Liangying didn't care what Yan thought in his heart, and said directly: "Grandmother has always praised me for my talent in mathematics, and I learned almost the same before her. So I wondered if I was cheeky and asked my grandmother to ask my mother for a shop to practice my hands. This shop will be used as my dowry in the future, and whether my daughter marries in the future or not, half of the profits of the shop will be shared with the family. What do you think? ”
"I'm not ashamed or impatient, the people who are married haven't seen a shadow, so I want to ask my mother for a dowry." Yan teased his daughter, but his heart was full of life, "Okay, I still have to discuss this matter with your father and grandmother, you can go back and wait for my news." But let's talk about it first, whether it succeeds or not, it's not up to my mother to have the final say, if it doesn't work out in the end, you are not allowed to make trouble. ”
Xie Liangying smiled and narrowed her eyes, and nodded in response, "How can my daughter be that kind of person." ”
The mother and daughter talked and laughed for a while, and then went to the flower hall together when the meal was about to be set.
The next day, Yan went to his aunt to discuss the matter.
When the grandmother of the Xie family heard this, she frowned at first, "I did praise her, but I didn't expect her heart to be so big, thinking about digging things from the house." ”
Yan Shi heard that she was dissatisfied in her heart, but she was moved by what Xie Liangying said about half of the profits, so she spared no effort to try to persuade her aunt, "Why do you need to give it from home." ”
The grandmother of the Xie family was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood the meaning of Yan's words, "You mean ......?" ”
Yan nodded a little excitedly, "Things don't have to come out of the house, but my aunt thinks that half of the profit, although it is a drop in the bucket, is better than nothing." Seeing that she was not there, she stepped forward and said, "If you plan properly, it will not hurt that this shop will always be surnamed Xie in the future." ”
The grandmother of the Xie family turned her mind a few times, and seemed to have some certainty. She said to Yan, "I know, you go back and wait." ”
Yan knew that her aunt must have made a decision in her heart when she said this, so she didn't rush it, and suppressed the excitement in her heart and went back to the third room.
Because not many people knew about Xie Liangying's begging for a shop, it didn't make waves in the Xie family. The family continued to live a beautiful life.
Xie Shenzhi was left by the emperor after this day, and this appearance of being quite a saint made the officials envious of him. He calmly took off his official robe and followed the chamberlain to the imperial study.
The emperor was looking at a piece of homework in his hand, and his face was a little unpleasant.
The chamberlain lightly brought a stool for Xie Shenzhi to sit down - this was something the emperor had already agreed.
Xie Shenzhi sat down on the stool until the emperor sighed, and the light smile on his face widened a little. He smiled and said, "But His Royal Highness the eldest son of the emperor has a headache again." ”
"Not really." The emperor threw aside the homework in his hand, "He is like this, no matter how loud the voice of the court and the court is, no matter how big the etiquette is, I will definitely not dare to hand this country into his hands." Otherwise, in what face will I see my ancestors and ancestors in a hundred years? ”
Xie Shenzhi said with a smile: "Your Highness is still young, Your Majesty is just too worried." As he spoke, he sighed, "Parents are always worried about the indifference of their children and grandchildren, and there is no difference between the heavenly family and the common people's family." ”
The emperor asked with interest: "The sons of Aiqing are all pillars of the court, and the hundred officials are also full of praise, how can there be such a sigh today?" ”
Xie Shenzhi waved his hand, "How can the ministers be praised by those who are not successful, they are all just false praise on my thin face." They may be able to get by as officials, but they can't care about my grandchildren. He looked at the emperor's face without any impatience, and then continued, "My little five, somehow a few days ago, actually asked her mother for a shop to make a dowry. At a young age, I didn't care about women's studies, and I always read the side ways of these businessmen, which made me very embarrassed. ”
The emperor couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "What am I saying, it's because of this." I don't think it's a bad thing to have a businessman. People eat grains and clothes lightly, don't they all exchange gold and silver for food and clothing? If you have the heart for these chores, you will be able to run the family, and you will not know who will marry such a virtuous lady in the future. ”
Xie Shenzhi arched his hand towards the emperor and replied with a smile: "Your Majesty has praised it again, how can the granddaughter of the minister compare with the beauty of several princesses." ”
The emperor's expression was a little gloomy, and he didn't know what to do, so he said a few perfunctory words.
Xie Shen saw that the emperor's heart was not here, so he took some things from the court and said to the emperor that he had heard the hadith, but he did not know where to turn his mind.
Not long after, Scholar Chen asked to see him, and Xie Shenzhi saw the opportunity to retire home.
As the day began to slope to the west, a pair of inconspicuous carriages left the outer city gate and headed for the southern suburbs.
The carriage stopped in front of a house, and the middle-aged man sitting on the wheel pulled the middle-aged man inside.
The middle-aged man looked around, although the house was in a remote place, it was surrounded by ordinary flowers and plants, which seemed to be vibrant. Stepping in, there were several cages in the corners of the yard with several bandaged injured animals in them. There is a towering camphor tree in the middle, and an empty chaise longue is placed under the tree, and a few books and a pot of tea are placed on the small table next to the chair.
"He's having a good time." The middle-aged man took off his robe and walked towards the main house where the sound of pounding medicine was heard.
In the middle of the room, a young man was grinding medicine, and there was a cane at the table.
The subordinate interrupted, "Childe, the master has come to see you." ”
Jiang Yi raised his head, saw the person who came, happily put down the work in his hand, and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law! ”
The brother-in-law of the Jiang family stepped forward quickly and pressed Jiang Yi, who wanted to support himself with a cane to greet him, "Just sit down and don't move." It's been a long time since I've come to see you, so let me take a good look. After looking up and down carefully, he still asked uneasily, "How are you doing?" Was the medicine I brought to you last time useful? Are your legs better? ”
Jiang Yi said: "I have no one to disturb here, and my leisurely life is exactly what I want." I used the medicine sent by my brother-in-law. But," he patted his injured leg, "if it can be good, it will be God pity me, it will not be better, and I will not complain about anything." ”
The brother-in-law of the Jiang family seemed to want to say something, but in the end he swallowed the words on his lips. He started his story and asked, "It's not good for you to always escape the world like this, have you ever thought about getting an errand?" ”
Jiang Yi didn't seem to have thought about this stubble, and he was still a little stunned when he was suddenly mentioned, "Errand? ”
"yes, you're going to have to start a family sooner or later. is already inconvenient for legs and feet, if you don't have an errand, I'm afraid it will be difficult to have a good family. If you are interested, how about I find you a suitable job? ”
Jiang Yi has stopped thinking about starting a family since he started living alone, but he can't say anything in front of his brother-in-law's shining eyes. After his sister passed away, he relied on his brother-in-law to support him to set up the door, and he really owed a lot. Now he wants to make contact with people, so he will get his wish. It's too early to start a family, and it's never too late to talk about it in the future.
Thinking like this, Jiang Yi also responded.
The brother-in-law of the Jiang family seemed to be very satisfied that Jiang Yi agreed to him, and then talked about his beloved daughter again, "...... Your niece is getting older now, and her temper is growing. The girl's mind is so exquisite, I can't guess what she thinks......"
Jiang Yi also seems to like to listen to his niece's affairs, he committed an accident when this niece was born, and he was not allowed to show up in front of people, because the pair of uncles and nephews had never even seen each other. Now more than ten years have passed, and the events of that year only exist in the case file, I am afraid that there are not many people who remember it, if I can go to the city on an errand, I may be able to meet my sister's only bloodline. My brother-in-law always said that she was like a sister.
Thinking about it like this, I looked forward to the previous mention of the Jiang family's brother-in-law.
"That's it, I'll let you know when I'm done." The brother-in-law of the Jiang family paused, and said softly, "I probably won't be able to come to see you for a while in the future, so you must be careful by yourself." When the time comes, if you encounter difficulties, go to Xifu Hutong to find a family surnamed Xue, talk to them, and they will help you solve the problem. ”
Jiang Yi supported his cane and sent his brother-in-law to the carriage without interrupting his earnest instructions.
After the Jiang family's brother-in-law was put into the carriage by his subordinates, he also lifted the curtain and looked at Jiang Yi reluctantly.
Jiang Yi waved his hand to him, "Brother-in-law, be careful when you go back, be more exposed, don't hurt yourself for the sake of business." ”
The brother-in-law of the Jiang family nodded to him and motioned for his subordinates to drive back to the city.
Jiang Yi stood in place and did not enter the house until the carriage was out of sight.
There are two flowers, one on each branch. Let's talk about the Xie family.
After Xie Liangying mentioned to Yan that day that he wanted to practice in the shop, he has been at ease in front of the Xie family's grandmother. The grandmother of the Xie family saw that she was indeed okay, so she left her alone on this day.
After Mama Ru got the permission of the Xie family's grandmother, she put a small wooden box in Xie Liangying's hand. Xie Liangying opened it and saw that it was a title deed, and he was a little surprised. She thought that the Xie family had given her a shop with the name of the Xie family, but she didn't expect to give her the entire shop with the title deed.
That's real money.
Xie Liangying had doubts about the Xie family's financial situation again, could it be that she had read the account books wrong? With a shop in such a good location, how could the Xie family not be able to support the expenses. Just a year's shop rent is enough to chew for a few months.
But for now, it's all your own.
Xie Liangying put away the wild conjectures in her heart, bowed to Yingying, the grandmother of the Xie family, and thanked her for this reward.
The grandmother of the Xie family didn't seem to be very good, and I don't know if it was heartache because she gave such a shop. But his face still forced a smile, "Five girls, you can see what the family gave you." Do a good job, don't live up to your family's expectations of you. After a pause, he gritted his teeth and said, "This will be counted in your dowry in the future." ”
Xie Liangying is naturally grateful again.
Looking at the figure of Xie Liangying who was leaving, the eyes of the grandmother of the Xie family were full of unwillingness. She thought that she would give the Xie family a face, but she didn't expect that what she was given was that the shop was all in Xie Liangying's name with the title deed. I wanted to go to the government to get a relationship and change the account to the Xie family -- but I had the courage to do so.
Xie Liangying didn't know all about the Xie family's grandmother's unwillingness, she was worried about whether she had miscalculated the Xie family's expenses, and on the other hand, she was happy that she could go out of the house in the name of the shop. Soon after getting married in his previous life, Xue Jian often dragged himself out, who had been reluctant to go out at home. One is to distract herself, and the other is to give her more things to do.
It was also Xue Jian's efforts that made Xie Liangying know that in addition to taking care of the backyard, the woman also had many side things and fun. Taking the opportunity of dealing with outsiders, she knew the truth about what Xie Liangyun's son had committed, instead of listening to the words of the Xie family and letting herself soften her heart to exonerate her.
At this time, what is there in the capital outside the Xie Mansion.
Xie Liangying was looking forward to it.
