In the next few days, Gu Sanniang was looking forward to a good letter from Guan Yongwang every day, but seeing that the first month was about to end, Guan Yongwang never came, and the Jin family did not say it or say it, and Gu Sanniang's heart gradually cooled.

Gu Sanniang's resignation, Aunt Qin also heard about it, she knew that Gu Sanniang wanted to open a shop to do business, and said a lot of dissuasive words, it was nothing more than that it was not easy for some women to show up outside, it was better to do some work that didn't have to worry about, and when she finished keeping filial piety for her man, she was looking for a suitable person to remarry, and her life passed peacefully. After all, I was still unwilling to give up halfway.

Gu Sanniang's uneasy heart, Shen Zhuo, who lived in the same courtyard, could naturally see it, and he said to Gu Sanniang: "The Jin family didn't speak, you still need to make two preparations, in case the embroidery can't be rolled out, what else do you have to plan?" ”

"I originally wanted to open a soup noodle restaurant, firstly, my craftsmanship on the stove is not too bad, and secondly, I don't have to invest too much capital, but there is a pork bone noodle restaurant across a dozen places, his house has been open for more than ten years, and the diners are all old acquaintances, I have tasted the taste, and the taste is first-class and good, but I am afraid that I can't compare with others when I open a noodle restaurant next to it."

Shen Zhuo nodded and listened to Gu Sanniang continue.

Gu Sanniang thought for a while, and said: "Again, I thought that if I can't open a noodle shop, I will go to open a rouge shop, there is only one Baoxiang Pavilion in our county, and his rouge is homemade, I asked a few women who bought her rouge, and they all said that her rouge is not very evenly colored, and it is not a good grade, I also heard that the rouge gouache of the state capital is famous all over the world, and the ladies in the palace also use her rouge, if I open a rouge shop, I need to think of a way to go to the state capital to find Zhu's supply, even if the price is more expensive than Baoxiang Pavilion." , don't worry about finding a market. ”

Hearing her idea, Shen Zhuo couldn't help but look Gu Sanniang up and down, he already knew that she was not one of those women who went with the flow, but he didn't know that he still underestimated her, this woman from the countryside, she didn't know a few big words, but her vision was so long-term, and her mind was so flexible, she actually compared half of the men in the world.

"What are you doing looking at me like that?" Gu Sanniang blushed at him, and couldn't help glaring at him.

Shen Zhuo said: "Fortunately, you are a woman's family, and you are not allowed to enter the cabinet, but fortunately, you were not born in troubled times, otherwise you would have done it as the overlord who divided the world." ”

Gu Sanniang laughed, she said: "Don't wear these high hats for me, I'm just forced by life, but as long as I have a thousand gold and silver in hand, who is willing to work hard to think about these things?" It's a pity that I not only have no money, but I also owe you a lot, if I don't try to save myself, will I really want to take my little leaves to be a beggar woman? ”

Shen Zhuo looked directly at Gu Sanniang, and he said: "Haven't you heard, most people in this world, except for eating and waiting for death, are just living in a muddy way, but you are different from these people, you have a tenacity in you, you dare to think about things that others can't think of, you dare to do things that others can't do, just this, you have won a few people." ”

Gu Sanniang laughed, she couldn't think of any difference between herself and others, they were all the same, in order to live, some people had good luck and could live well without effort, her luck was worse since she was a child, and she had to rely on herself to do everything, if she had to say anything different, it was that she refused to admit defeat, unless she lay down and couldn't move, no one would want to say that she was useless.

Shen Zhuo saw Gu Sanniang's disapproving look, so he asked, "Sanniang, are there any poor people in your tunzi?" ”

Gu Sanniang raised her eyebrows, and she said, "That's there, the most important thing in our tun is the poor." ”

"Some people are obviously so poor that they are going to die, but they still nest in that acre and three points of land and refuse to move, and if they want to move, it is as if they want their lives, just like the frog that sits in a well and watches the sky, and will go out if it does not jump, and never knows how big the sky is outside and how wide the ground is."

Gu Sanniang smiled, she said, "I understand, you mean that I am the frog that jumped out of the bottom of the well." ”

Shen Zhuo shook his head and said: "You are not a frog at the bottom of the well, you are a dragon trapped at the bottom of the well, as long as you encounter a good opportunity, you can rush to the sky." ”

"Nonsense." Gu Sanniang glanced at him with disgust, and no one had heard anyone compare the dragon to a woman's family, she turned to talk about opening a shop: "Anyway, I have rented the shop, so I can save a lot of time and nights." “

"Your shop hasn't opened yet, and you've inquired about so much news, needless to say, whether it's an embroidery shop or a rouge shop, you must be able to do business."

Gu Sanniang glared at Shen Zhuo again, and said, "I came to discuss things with you seriously, it's useless for you to say something, next time I might as well go to Aunt Qin and them to sum it up." ”

Shen Zhuo replied with a smile: "Everything is for you to think about, where is my use." ”

The two said a few words, Zhu Xiaoyue came over and shouted that Gu Sanniang had something to do, but Gu Sanniang was too lazy to listen to Shen Zhuo anymore, so she went to the main house.

In the next few days, Gu Sanniang still did not receive news from Guan Yongwang, at this time she was absolutely unwilling to open an embroidery shop, and concentrated on inquiring about various matters of the rouge shop, who knew that on this day, Guan Yongwang came over, Gu Sanniang saw him, first shocked, and let him into the house, and sent Xiao Yezi to ask Shen Zhuo to accompany him.

After a while, Shen Zhuo came over, Gu Sanniang served tea to the two of them, waiting for Guan Yongwang to speak, she had already made a lot of preparations in her heart, that is, the Jin family did not allow her to open an embroidery shop in the county, and she would not be disappointed, so Gu Sanniang asked directly: "Uncle Yongwang, just say it directly, I don't know what the owner means?" ”

Guan Yongwang raised his eyelids and looked at her, he had a smile on his face, and said: "It's always your good fortune, last year you worked hard to embroider that pine crane longevity map, and kept the reputation of the embroidery village, the owner said, this world is very big, more than you or less of your family, it will not hinder the business of the Jin family." ”

This means that Gu Sanniang can open an embroidery shop in the county seat by default, in fact, when Guan Yongwang mentioned this matter to the owner of the embroidery village before, the Jin family has never nodded, if Gu Sanniang leaves, it is not so easy to find such a skilled embroidery girl, so he has been dragging it, just to force Gu Sanniang to turn back, I don't want to wait for seven or eight, but I inquired that Gu Sanniang was going to go to other trades, the Jin family saw this, and simply sold her a favor, so that it could also give Xiuzhuang a reputation of benevolence and righteousness, and she was a woman's family. How big a business can you make?

Gu Sanniang was already dead-hearted, but now she turned around, she asked in surprise: "The owner has agreed?" ”

Guan Yongwang smiled and nodded, he had worked with Gu Sanniang for many years, and the Jin family could allow her to continue eating this bowl of rice, and Guan Yongwang was also happy for her.

That Gu Sanniang slowly sat up straight, she silently lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then raised her head and said to Guan Yongwang: "Uncle Yongwang, thanks to you interceding with the owner for me, I have thanked you first." ”

Guan Yongwang, who was sitting opposite Gu Sanniang, looked at her secretly, although she said that she was thankful in her mouth, it was not as happy as he expected, but he was not good at asking about this, so he said: "As the old saying goes, good deeds are rewarded, this is all earned by yourself, I just passed on a word from it." ”

After listening for a long time, Shen Zhuo on the side spoke, and he smiled and said: "Boss Jin is a philanthropist, and he doesn't care about the lady who has done a job under him, but I don't know if this shop will be opened by then, is there anything important?" ”

Guan Yongwang didn't know the meaning of Shen Zhuo's words, but when he thought about it, he suddenly understood in his heart that Shen Zhuo was a scholar, and he was still thinking carefully, he was worried that Gu Sanniang would open an embroidery shop in the future, and he would still be subject to the Jin family.

"It's just a shop to support the family, what can you pay attention to?" Guan Yongwang said with a smile, completely dispelling their doubts.

After listening to Guan Yongwang's words, Gu Sanniang and Shen Zhuo secretly put their minds at ease, Guan Yongwang asked a few more words where her shop was open and when she planned to open, the three of them chatted a few words, and Guan Yongwang went home.

Gu Sanniang and Shen Zhuo personally sent Guan Yongwang to the gate of the courtyard, until his figure came out of the alley, the two turned around and entered the courtyard, Shen Zhuo saw that Gu Sanniang had not said a word since Guan Yongwang left, so he asked: "Even if the Jin family promised you to open an embroidery shop in the county, why are you still preoccupied?" ”

Gu Sanniang smiled embarrassedly, she said: "It is said that embroidery is my old profession, and it is my wish to open an embroidery store for a long time, but I inquired about the rouge business not long ago, and I secretly estimated it, and the profits are very profitable, and I can't let go of it for a while." ”

Shen Zhuo has been with her for a long time, and his speech is no longer as polite as before, after listening to Gu Sanniang's words, he shook his head and smiled: "You, don't you hear that there is a saying that makes people's hearts not enough to swallow elephants?" ”

Although Gu Sanniang hadn't read a book, she could hear that what he said didn't seem to be good, she sighed and said, "Now I don't know how to choose in my heart." ”

Shen Zhuo didn't have a good idea for her, he looked at Gu Sanniang and said, "That shop is about to be handed over to you, you still need to quickly think about what kind of business to do." ”

Gu Sanniang thought for a moment, and quickly made a decision, she said, "Let's open the rust shop first." ”

She is the first time to do business, the capital in her hand is also limited, since she is safe, doing rouge trading to make money is to make money, but to invest a lot of money, if you have a foothold in the future, and find out the doorway, the rouge business, she will definitely go to explore the truth in it.
