When Brother Gongzi walked away, Bai Sujin asked about the girl's life experience, it turned out that the girl's name was Chen Zijuan, and her father was originally a merchant, but when she was very young, she didn't know what happened to her father and got into a lawsuit, and it was said that he committed suicide in prison. Her mother worked hard to bring her up, but not long ago, a serious illness took her mother's life.

The family was already poor, and as soon as the mother died, the family was even more exposed. What's even more infuriating is that the uncles of the same clan not only stood by and watched, but also bullied her weak daughter, looted all the belongings in the house, and even sold the house.

In desperation, Zijuan found a neighbor who had a good relationship with her, borrowed a cart, and the neighbor took pity on her frailty, so he helped her push her mother to the market, and then pulled the cart away. She knelt here and buried her mother.

When Bai Sujin heard this, he also felt that Zijuan was very pitiful, so he said in a gentle tone: "Don't cry, people can't be resurrected after death, I will buy a better coffin for your mother, so that you can be buried alive, and you will be a companion with me in the future." ”

Zijuan said thank you again, but Bai Sujin didn't mention it.

On the second day, Bai Sujin rushed to the shop, where Steward Wang was already waiting, and when he met, he said, "Madam, I have already sent someone to clean up this place." It was originally a shop selling cloth, but it was also neat, doing business in front, there was a small courtyard and three wings in the back hall, it was okay to live in people, and it was okay to use it as a warehouse, and if the lady was satisfied, she would pay the rent. ”

Bai Sujin looked around, the façade of this shop is not small, it is estimated that it is thirty square meters, six long and five wide. Walk through the front hall and enter through the next door, there is indeed a small courtyard, and there is a well, the problem of draft is not to worry, it is good to pull a rope in the middle of the small courtyard and dry clothes.

Walked into these wings and looked at them, the room in the middle was not empty, there were tables and chairs, etc., and more importantly, there was a warm kang, which was made of green bricks, and there was a small hole at the bottom, which should be used to make a fire. There was no heating in ancient times, and it must have been warm to sleep on in winter.

"Yes, I look very satisfied, Steward Wang should have prepared the note, take it out, I signed, and we will clear the silver shop." Bai Sujin said lightly.

Steward Wang had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, and hurriedly took out the two notes, Bai Sujin took it and took a closer look, and saw that it was clearly written, the price was clearly marked, and there was no problem, so he signed it. A note was kept in his possession, and a note was given to the king's steward, and then the rent was paid to the king's steward.

When Steward Wang left, Zijuan asked in a low voice: "Madam, you said that you want to open a matchmaker shop, the rent of this matchmaker shop is so high, can you make money?" Besides, how can anyone who runs a matchmaker to open a shop, it is the women who find the matchmaker and ask them to find a good family for their daughter or son, and the matchmaker then chooses the matching family for matchmaking. This can be done at home, so why bother renting a shop? ”

Bai Sujin glanced at Zijuan, with an expression of "you are so stupid", and said slowly: "You don't understand this, the matchmaker shop is just an appearance, what I do is not just the work of running the matchmaker and pulling fibers, besides, I am also different from the unscrupulous matchmaker, I will never let the two marry at will for the sake of money." What I have to do with great strength is to save the abandoned women. ”

Zijuan didn't understand it very well, and Bai Sujin also knew that Zijuan was still young and hadn't experienced many things, so she didn't necessarily understand it when she explained it to her, so she simply said: "You don't have to worry about this, I also know that at the beginning, it is naturally not enough to just talk about the matchmaker, I will first have a batch of wedding supplies, such as red silk, red candles and the like, and then you can greet the guests in front." ”

Zijuan thought, it turned out that although Bai Sujin opened a matchmaker shop, it turned out to be a wedding supplies, but how could there be people who get married every day, it is better to open a small restaurant. Of course, she didn't dare to explain to Bai Sujin that she was just a helper in the shop now, where could she comment on the opinion of the shopkeeper, just do a good job with peace of mind and receive monthly money.

After saying this, Bai Sujin went to the plaque shop.

"What, matchmaker?" When the owner of the plaque shop heard that Bai Sujin asked him to make a plaque of "Red Lady Shop", he immediately screamed and looked at Bai Sujin a few times.

Bai Sujin is also very puzzled, there is a marriage agency in modern times, why can't I open a matchmaker shop in ancient times? However, looking at the boss's eyes, it seems that he is talking about a dream.

"This lady, with all due respect, the place you rented is the most profitable place in the market, how can you open a matchmaker's shop? To be honest, the general people who run the media and pull the fiber are some mothers-in-law, and they can't make a lot of money. You are a young daughter-in-law's family, and you have no experience, but I am afraid that you will not be able to survive even a month, so why not think of something else to make a living. ”

This is straightforward, but Bai Sujin is not annoyed, she already has the thinking of a modern woman, and naturally knows how to run a shop better, so she doesn't pay attention to the boss's advice.

"Since I opened a matchmaker shop, I must have a bottom in my heart, you only say how much money the plaque is."

The owner of the plaque shop is naturally focused on making money, seeing Bai Sujin's insistence, he didn't bother to persuade again, anyway, if he made more plaques, he would make more money, as for Bai Sujinying, he was not profitable, and he had nothing to do with it, so he took the order and set the price.

Coming out of the plaque shop, Bai Sujin ran to the carpenter's shop and ordered a few chairs and two tables. This ancient time is inconvenient, tables and chairs have to be made, but fortunately, there are many carpenters in the shop, and they should be able to be made as soon as possible.

After all the necessary things were prefabricated or purchased, Bai Sujin returned to the shop. Zijuan is also a discerning person, knowing that Bai Sujin will inevitably be tired after running around all morning, so he hurriedly brought a glass of water.

After drinking the water in one go, Bai Sujin sighed: "This morning, I can't do it when I'm really tired, but I estimate that in three days, the shop will be able to open." ”

Zijuan also said: "Madam, when you went out, I thought that we had a shop and a house in the back, so it would be more convenient to live here in the future, so I borrowed the cart of Aunt Wang in the shop next door and pushed some of the bedding, pots and pans in our house, and it was already ready." I looked at it, and although the kitchen was small, it should be no problem to cook for the two of us. ”

Bai Sujin praised repeatedly: "That's better, I was just saying that I would get those things in the afternoon, but I didn't expect you to do it in advance, and it saved me a lot of trouble." I didn't buy vegetables, it's almost noon, and it's time to cook. ”

Zijuan smiled slightly: "I want to buy vegetables, and I have to be willing to give me credit." ”

Bai Sujin patted his head and said busily: "It's also my negligence, where do you have the money to buy vegetables, so let's do it, we've been busy for a long time, we won't cook today, let's go to the restaurant next time." ”

Zijuan was overjoyed, and echoed and said yes.

The market is really convenient, out of the shop, past the Wang Po teahouse next door, is an inn. After Bai Sujin entered, he chose a window seat and sat down, and the shopkeeper hurriedly came over to greet him: "Two guest officers, what are you eating?" ”

Bai Sujin thought about it for a while, and then said: "A big plate of braised lion's head, a large plate of braised spring bamboo shoots in oil, and two large bowls of rice." ”

The shopkeeper smiled, promised to go, and after a while, he brought the rice and vegetables. Zijuan looked at two large plates full of dishes, as well as two large bowls of rice, and asked, "Madam, there are so many, can we finish eating?" ”

Bai Sujin glanced at Zijuan, and said: "In life, eating and drinking, if you don't eat and drink, how can you have the strength to make money." In the past, when I was at home, I used to cling to your brother-in-law first for any delicious food, but I raised a white-eyed wolf, and as soon as your brother-in-law's wings were stiff, he took me off and flew away with a high branch. I'm also stupid, what can I do to a negative man, it's better to be kind to myself and raise myself to be strong. ”

When Zijuan heard this, she couldn't help laughing, although this was a tragic story, but from Bai Sujin's mouth, it added a bit of joy.

Zijuan deliberately asked, "This is strange, does the white-eyed wolf have wings and can still fly?" ”

Bai Sujin pulled the rice and said inarticulately: "I'm just making an analogy, what are you serious, your brother-in-law is Chen Shimei, I am not the weak Qin Xianglian." According to the script, in the end, Lord Bao killed Chen Shimei, but Qin Xianglian didn't get any benefit, according to my meaning, I should find a way to ask for some gold and silver from Chen Shimei first, and then slowly torture him, and kill him at once, it's too cost-effective. ”

After hearing these remarks, Zijuan felt that Bai Sujin's thinking was very different from that of other women from good families. Generally, after being abandoned, women from good families either cried to death or simply hanged themselves with a rope. Bai Sujin is different from other women, she is so calm in the face of the ending of being abandoned, and she can turn her grief and anger into motivation and think of opening a shop to make a living. How many people can have this kind of realm?

While the two were eating, the proprietress came over and asked with a smile on her face: "This lady, I heard that you are going to open a matchmaker shop?" ”

Bai Sujin raised his head and snorted. The proprietress smiled and said: "That's really good, my unsuccessful son, his heart is very high, I found a few matchmakers to make peace, and I also met several girls, I and his father looked very good, and the result was always not as good as he wanted." Since you are in this business, why don't you make peace with my son and see if you can get your way? ”

When Bai Sujin heard this, he quickly stood up, but he didn't expect that his store had already become famous before it opened. Thinking like this, he was even more excited, and hurriedly said: "Where is your son, let me see him, ask him what he wants, and I can find a suitable girl." ”

The proprietress immediately led Bai Sujin to the back hall, Bai Sujin entered the house and saw an average-looking young man reading. The proprietress hurriedly introduced: "This is my son." ”

The man glanced up at Bai Sujin and said dissatisfiedly: "Mother, which matchmaker told me about the girl, you didn't even look at it and brought it in, it doesn't matter if you don't look good, come here to see me, and you don't pay attention to what you wear." Those with thick arms and thighs are not as good as the cooks who cook, so go out quickly, don't affect my reading. ”

The more Bai Sujin listened, the more angry he became, and said with black lines on his face: "Childe, you think about it too much, I was invited by your mother to tell you a matchmaker, but I didn't come to go on a blind date with you." ”

The man sighed, and Fang said: "It turns out that you are a matchmaker, no wonder, if you compare with those mothers-in-law, you still talk about the past." ”
