Chapter 57: A New Plan
Jin Niang and several of them are all young ladies with good net worth, and their speech is naturally very different from the women Zheng Baocai comes into contact with on weekdays, and they have their own momentum.
Zheng Baocai glanced at her with a stiff neck, and then twisted his head to Yue Xi: "Brother, what did she say?" ”
"Alas!" Yue Xi raised his eyes and let out a sigh on the roof, then got up and pulled Zheng Bao out of the main house.
The two stood facing each other in the courtyard, and Yue Xi shook Zheng Baocai to the ground: "Brother Zheng, you have to forgive me......"
"You haven't said anything yet, if you forgive or not, let's talk about it later......"
Almost Yue Xi saluted Zheng Baocai, and he understood the ** point in his heart. Although subconsciously still reluctant to admit that Yue Xi is really a woman, he also knows that she is really a woman!
"I lied to you......" Yue Xi had long thought that she would have such an embarrassing day with Zheng Bao, but she didn't have much to be ashamed of.
Sometimes, knowing less of the truth is the only way to live comfortably and for a long time.
Yue Xi knew that Zheng Baocai really regarded herself as a brother, so she couldn't say anything about herself.
He dragged his family with him, and Yue Xi really hoped that their family could live a peaceful life.
Zheng Baocai didn't speak, his eyes only stared at the firecracker skins scattered everywhere on the ground.
His head was already messed up......
From the fact that Yue Xi took the group of people from the God of Wealth Temple to copy his home, the more he thought about it, the more it was clear, especially after his daughter-in-law was sick......
Thinking about it, it is Yuexi's righteousness, that is the friendship that only brothers can have, Zheng Bao can't forget it!
"Who the hell are you?" It seemed that Fang Cai Yue Xi said a few words, but he didn't hear it clearly at all, and at this time, Zheng Baocai raised his head and looked at her and asked softly.
"Han Yuexi." Yue Xi didn't hesitate this time, and said these three words directly.
"Han Yuexi......" Zheng Baocai squinted his eyes and looked at the gloomy sky, and his heart moved: Han Yuexi? Why does it sound familiar?
It's a pity that as a common man of the Joklo, Zheng Baocai not only can't figure out the name of the emperor of the Jokhang Dynasty, but also won't pay attention to the name of the 'deceased' queen mother, racking his brains to think about it, he only remembered Yue Xi's kindness to his family, as for who Han Yuexi was, he still didn't remember.
"It doesn't matter who you are in front of outsiders, in front of me, you are my brother." Zheng Baocai didn't want to think about it, whether it was a man or a woman, the person in front of him was the one who used to pay money without saying a word when he was short of money, his daughter-in-law was sick, and people gave up their faces to beg the prince of the county to come over and help see a doctor...... That's enough!
"Yes. You are Brother Zheng. Yue Xi smiled and nodded.
"That's it!" Zheng Baocai waved his hand, turned around and walked into the house: "Let's talk about the matter between brothers later, let's get down to business first!" ”
"Good!" Yue Xi's heart was hot, the smile on his face became thicker, and his nose was a little sour.
The two of them muttered outside, and then went back to the house as if nothing had happened, and everyone guessed that these two were talking.
Jin Niang let out a sigh with a white face, and her heart was beating violently!
She is a smart person, and as soon as she saw Zheng Baocai's attitude, she knew that she had said the wrong thing.
Originally, I thought that the people who Yue Xi called over to discuss things were their own people, especially the people from the God of Wealth Temple who had lived in the palace and knew the roots, who would have thought that there was a Zheng Baocai mixed in it?
Jin Niang felt uncomfortable, thinking about the trouble that Fang Cai's words had caused Yue Xi, she was very annoyed, and reached out and twisted her thighs fiercely!
"Jin Niang!" Feng Wan knew that she was panicked in her heart, and wanted to comfort her a few words, but when she turned around, she saw that she was masochizing, and quickly took her hand.
"Shh Jin Niang pouted and made a silent expression, and only said to Feng Wan with a mouth shape: "It's okay, don't squeak!" ”
Feng Wan's eyes turned red, but she still nodded.
Several of them have lived in the palace for so long, she can understand Jin Niang's mood best, and she is afraid that one sentence will add chaos to Yue Xi.
They are all women, and only women understand women's difficulties......
Yuexi's difficulties are not easy, and only they have the deepest experience.
Zheng Baocai sat on Yue Xi's left hand side, and the movements and eyes of several women opposite him were in full view.
He lowered his head and took a sip of the teacup on the table, and said in his heart: My brother is not bad to anyone, and these girls also follow her sincerely......
Just thinking about this, his head immediately felt like it had been struck by lightning: No! My brother is a woman, what a matter of time these women follow her so desperately!
Twisting his face and seeing Ye Qiu, who had fine skin and tender flesh, Zheng Baocai suddenly remembered the 'adultery' between him and Ye Xianling, and suddenly a cold sweat came down: Isn't my brother also have this problem......
"Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, New Year's greetings have also been said, invite everyone over for nothing else, let's talk about the next year...... No, it's already next year......" Yue Xi smiled and shook his head: "Why hasn't Gao Bo come back yet?" ”
"Yes, I didn't see Uncle Gao in the morning, why did the old man go?"
Yue Xiyi said that Zheng Baocai also found that there was no one in the house. When Chu Yingzhi got married, Yue Xi sent Gao Wen to Zhang Luo, Zheng Baocai and Gao Gonggong came into contact for a few days, and felt that although this old man was steady and heavy, although he didn't grow a beard, he was quite scheming, so many things were piled up, he could arrange them in an orderly manner, and when he asked about the age of the people, he was actually older than his own father.
From this, he also sighed: Why are they all old men, and the difference is so big...... Could it be that his own father has grown a beard after eating?
In the past few days, Zheng Bao has only seen the sky and pondered to shave Daddy Zheng's beard......
"There is a customer in the city, who has hired a chariot and horse from the Taiping Bureau in the past, and there is a place in the family that wants to make a move, so I asked Gao Bo to go over and have a look. It's time to come back. Yue Xi said and involuntarily looked out again
Involuntarily looked out again, the two door panels were closed tightly, and she naturally couldn't see anything.
"Still want to buy a house?!" Several people sitting around the square table opened their mouths at the same time, and their tones were the same: "You are the head of the house, you bought it yourself as a private house?" ”
"What kind of house?" Yue Xi glanced at everyone and said slowly: "Where am I going, we can't walk in a pile?" ”
"It's to find another piece of land for our shop." Yue Xi looked at the expressions on everyone's faces and immediately relaxed, and couldn't help laughing: "Look at our family, there are already many women, in the past, when we didn't live in, people came and went was nothing, and now that I have settled my home here, it is not convenient to be in such a mess!" ”
"In that case, this house should have been bought a long time ago!" Zheng Baocai answered: "But Gao Bo saw that the house was not in the city?" Brothers, why don't you move your family over, if it's convenient, it's still lively and convenient in the imperial city. ”
"I just like this place in Xixiang Village, it's big enough! No matter how good the place in the city is, there is no comfort in living outside the city! ”
There are many people in the city, and it is impossible to say who will have crooked thoughts about their own family, and it will not be easy to run when the time comes...... Yue Xi had thought about this countless times in her heart, but she couldn't say it.
"When we find a suitable place, we will move the shop out, and then we will pick up this house, plant some flowers and trees, and raise some birds and fish to relieve your boredom!" Yue Xi looked at Jin Niang and the people at their table, and said happily.
"That's a good feeling! If you are in charge, leave another piece of land, and we will grow some vegetables! Aunt Wang said happily.
Yue Xi's mind immediately came up with the image of a pile of donkey dung and eggs and the smell wafting in the air when he was fertilizing the ground......
So she quickly changed the topic: "This, let's talk about it later, let's talk about this year's arrangements first." ”
Everyone immediately stopped together, and they all listened attentively with their ears stunned.
"Although the Taiping Bureau only opened last year, its business is not bad, but with the business on this official road alone, although we people will not starve to death, it is difficult to do anything."
Chu Yingzhi and Zheng Baocai glanced at each other, and each nodded secretly, Yue Xi had already mentioned this on different occasions, and at that time the business of the Taiping Bureau had just started, although everyone listened, but no one took it to heart.
Later, at the end of the year, the guards and the bodyguards who followed the car were paid, and then the forage money was dug out, and the odd expenses were deducted again, although there was no loss of money, but there was really not much left.
But Yue Xi's accounts are different from theirs.
She first withdrew the money she invested in the car and horse when the business was running, so she has a spectrum in her heart, and she can earn back the capital when the business opens, which is already quite good!
"This year, the business of the Taiping Bureau will go out!" Yue Xi's voice was not high, but everyone could understand it: "I can't only do the business of the official road from Chengxi to Cixian, and I am going to open the shop of the Taiping Bureau out of the imperial capital." ”
"Out of the imperial capital?" Zheng Baocai came to his senses, he curled up one leg and propped himself on the chair, and asked loudly: "Brother, tell me, which county are you going to drive the Taiping Bureau to?" ”
"Which county has more people and which county is rich, let's go to whichever county!" Yue Xi raised his eyes and looked at a few men around her and said: "Didn't I go out a year ago, or I went out to explore the Dao, and I also found out a rough idea, and now the richest place in Dazhao is Qiantang in addition to the imperial capital......
"Qiantang!" Several women on the table next to them nodded at the same time: "Where is really good, if you talk about rare things, it seems that there are more than in our imperial capital!" ”
"That's right!" Yue Xi nodded and took over the conversation: "The wheels have to turn up to earn money, and the current business of the Taiping Bureau is not only to do the line in the west of the city, but also to the north, south and east, and we must occupy the other three sides!" ”
"That's a good idea!" This time, everyone came in together, and everyone was very excited!
Although there are many shops in the imperial city, there are many fresh things, but after all, there are many people living around the imperial city, everyone knows that the imperial capital is lively, and they also have the heart to go into the city when they have spare money, but there are no cars and horses, and it is difficult for ordinary people to enter the city!
If the business on this road in the west of the city can be done, then the business on the other roads will not be bad.
"It's close." Yue Xi waited for everyone to stop before he continued: "Let's do the business in the distance." ”
A few years ago, she went out for a few months, and saw a lot of small traders and vendors along the way, most of these people were foot traders who traveled between the two places, and they earned a lot of hard money in a small business. If you only walk on two feet, counting the food, drink and accommodation along the way, it is also a lot of expenses. For them, it is a good thing to be able to take a long journey!
What Yue Xi has to do is the business of these people: "From the imperial capital to the counties along the way, let's send out the carriages and horses at a fixed time, and then return at a fixed time, and then a few inns and restaurants on the road, which is not only convenient for our own guests to eat and stay, but also can earn some local silver, no matter what, we can't lose anything......"
In ancient times, Yuexi's business had to take a lot of words to explain to that guy, but in modern times, it is just four words: chain operation.
