Chapter 90

When Xia Chunchao heard this, he was also expected, nodded and said, "I know, if you go back to the master first, I will change my clothes and go over." 『』”

After sending someone away, Bao'er came over with her clothes, and while serving Xia Chunchao to change clothes, she said: "That shop is still run by the girl, and now it is down." ”

Xia Chunchao didn't say anything in his mouth, but he felt infinite emotion in his heart. At that time, she worked hard to start this dry goods store for her husband's family. Since the initial opening, the business was light, step by step to the later bustle, and the hard work inside is naturally unknown to outsiders. Now this dry goods store has closed down because of her, which is really embarrassing.

At the moment, Xia Chunchao put on his clothes, left Bao'er to watch the door in the house, and took Zhu'er to the front hall to reads(); The reborn city of love.

When I walked to the hall, I saw my father Xia Dongxing sitting on a chair with Xia Ming, the former shopkeeper of the dry goods store, talking about something.

As soon as she came in, Xia Ming hurriedly got up, and everyone sat down.

Xia Chunchao asked: "I heard from someone that the Lu family's dry goods store has been closed?" Xia Ming nodded and said: "Since the last time the girl sent someone to collect the debts of the Lu family, the shop has been empty, and the remaining broken goods and some bad tables and stools that no one wants are worth anything." I didn't think it was a bad deal, so I had to sell the remaining goods and make up some money to pay off the debts, but it was only a drop in the bucket. The owners of those restaurants and teahouses were not easy to get along with, and they went to Lu's door to collect debts. The girl also knew that these people could do such a big deal in Beijing, and there were people behind them. Lu Huancheng couldn't afford to offend anyone, so he had to close the shop and sell the store so that he could pay off the debts. ”

When Xia Chunchao heard this, he didn't feel relieved, but just sighed slightly. After a while, he asked again: "How is the Lu family now?" ”

Xia Ming replied: "I heard that since the beating girl is gone, there is almost a house rebellion in the Lu family, everything has no idea, Mrs. Lu is also sick, Lu Huancheng can take care of it here and lose it there." Yesterday I went to his house to talk about some things, and I saw that their families were disturbing.

When I went in, I was noisy and yelling, and the slightest bit of the rules of behavior were gone. Lu Huancheng sent it away, but he didn't see a rule. ”

Xia Chunchao sighed: "From top to bottom, they don't have a person who can take charge, and there are not so many people in the past." Nowadays, there are many people in the family, so it is naturally chaotic. Sister Hong is very assertive, but unfortunately a girl who has not been out of the cabinet can hardly support the situation. ”

Xia Dongxing was listening, and couldn't help but interject: "Spring Dynasty, now that the matter has come to an end, are you still worried about his family?" ”

Xia Chunchao smiled and said slowly: "I'm not thinking about his family, it's just that the Lu family's dry goods store is also my hard work, and seeing it closed, I don't feel good in my heart." ”

Xia Dongxing nodded and said, "What's this, the Lu family doesn't know how to cherish the blessings, so that's fine." If you feel sorry for it, it's okay to take care of it again. ”

Xia Chunchao listened to his father's words, his heart moved slightly, and asked Xia Ming: "Has that shop been sold?" ”

Xia Ming shook his head and said: "The Lu family is really exhausted now, Lu Huancheng is anxiously waiting for the money, and he will ask for two thousand taels of silver when he opens his mouth." The girl knows that the lot of our shop is ordinary, and the shop is not very big, so it is not worth the money. Therefore, there are only a few people who ask for the price, but none of them are willing to buy. ”

When Xia Chunchao heard this, he thought in his heart: Although I had already cleaned up the Lu family's foundation when I left, but in the hands of the Lu Jia family and the Liu family, there were two or three hundred taels of silver, which was enough for their family to eat for a while, so why were they in such a hurry to get money? Isn't there any big expense added to the family?

When he was looking down to think about it, he heard Xia Ming say again: "Yesterday, I heard the shopkeeper Liu of the gold shop say that Lu Huancheng asked someone to take two gold cakes in exchange for some silver. The gold cake was of excellent quality, and it did not look like a thing handed down by the people, and I do not know where he got it. ”

Xia Chunchao sighed and said, "That was the reward from the palace when his son entered the court to report on his work." He dared to exchange this royal gift for money, which shows that he is really poor. ”

Xia Ming said again: "However, there is a strange thing, the shopkeeper Liu said that Lu Huancheng sent the gold cakes in the morning, and before noon, the Hou Mansion sent someone to pay twice the price, and named the two gold cakes to be replaced, and I don't know why." ”

Xia Chunchao couldn't understand for a while, and asked, "That Hou Mansion?" ”

Xia Ming replied: "Which other Hou Mansion can there be, it is Situ Hou Mansion reads(); Xiao Taihou's pit life. ”

Xia Chunchao remembered that in the past, Lu Chengyong was empty-handed on the street to control crazy horses, and then entered the Hou Mansion for a banquet, and said secretly: They are all official eunuchs, and it is not surprising that some contacts are made. After thinking about it, he asked again: "That Zhang Xueyan has already lived in the Lu family?" ”

Xia Ming shook his head and said: "I haven't heard of this, it's just that Mrs. Lu once came to the shop in person, took some nourishing dry goods, said that she was going to see her niece, and said happily that the Lu family had a future or something like that." My buddies didn't understand her, and no one paid any attention to her. ”

Xia Dongxing glanced at his daughter, opened his mouth and reprimanded: "I didn't expect this bastard like Lu Chengyong, who looks like a human on his face, but he steals chickens and dogs behind his back, but he can become a person!" Fortunately, we have also broken off relations with his family, and we don't have to be so idle anymore. ”

Xia Chunchao was unhappy in his heart, and said lightly: "I can't do such a thing with sincerity and bravery, these years of husband and wife, I still count these ideas." ”

Xia Dongxing disagreed, and said: "You say this, is it possible that the Lu family is crazy, and the wild seeds that come from nowhere also recognize them as their own?" It's okay to talk about the sidelines, but I've never seen anyone cuckold his son's head. ”

Xia Chunchao didn't want to talk about this matter more, so he turned to Xia Ming and said, "Since this is the case, Shopkeeper Xia is also back, how will you prepare in the future?" ”

Xia Ming replied: "I am the person under the girl, and since the shop has fallen, I will still follow the girl." I'm afraid I'm stupid and useless, and the girl won't need it. ”

Xia Chunchao smiled and said: "What is this from Shopkeeper Xia, if that shop didn't have you around, it wouldn't be today." I have something right now for the shopkeeper to do. ”

Xia Ming hurriedly said, "That's what the girl ordered." ”

Xia Chunchao said: "I thought in my heart, since the shop has collapsed, the guys who followed us in the past will naturally have no work, and it will be difficult to live in the future." I have been in the dry goods business for the past few years, and I have a little experience. It's better to open another dry goods store and ask everyone to do the old business. With such a livelihood in place, I also rely on food and clothing. This shop naturally has to rely on Shopkeeper Xia to take care of it. ”

That Xia Ming was worried about where to go back, so he found the old owner, and now he heard that there is this road, how can he not agree, and immediately responded, and asked: "I don't know if the girl is optimistic about the store?" If not, I'll hurry out into the street and take a look, and then I'll see the girl. ”

Xia Chunchao smiled: "Where can I find another one?" Isn't there a ready-made one in front of you? ”

When Xia Ming heard this, he immediately understood in his heart and said, "It's okay, I'm afraid that they won't sell it when they hear that the girl wants it." ”

Xia Chunchao said: "I won't come forward in this matter, you find a reliable person to talk to them." I bought the storefront, and I knew the price of the land, and it was only six hundred taels of silver. Now if they want to sell, they will ask for it from the highest, and it will only be eight hundred taels full. No matter how much it is, no one will buy it. The people of the Lu family don't understand economics, and they are all suspicious and short-minded, so they have to find someone who can speak well. ”

Xia Dongxing was listening and interjected: "If you want to open a store, where is it difficult to find a place, what do you have to do to get a shop?" I also had to buy it from the Lu family, and send the silver to their house. ”

Xia Chunchao smiled and said: "Dad doesn't know, the things I originally gave to the Lu family must be taken back one by one now, if you buy them elsewhere, it will be boring." I will definitely open another dry goods shop on the original site of that store and hang the plaque of our Xia family. ”

Xia Dongxing was puzzled: "What's the point of this, you give them money for nothing." ”

Xia Chunchao smiled lightly and said, "The money they owe me hasn't been paid off yet, and my father looks at it, this silver has to be transferred back." ”
