Chapter Seventy-Three: A Survey of the Economic Situation of the Hou Mansion
To say that in the various prefectures and families in Beijing, in terms of wealth, the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion is definitely not poor, and it is basically relatively rich. You must know that although the Yuanhou Mansion in Ludao Town is not the most farmland, the business is only two restaurants, and a few shops can be handled, and the annual income on the surface is between 15,000 taels and 25,000 taels.
However, there are few people in the Zhenyuan Marquis's Mansion, and there are only three serious masters, the Zhenyuan Marquis and his wife and the Zhenyuan Marquis's mother, Mrs. Lin. The Hou Mansion has never advocated luxury, and his life is quite comfortable, and it is by no means as glamorous as the Jia family in the Dream of Red Mansions, and he has a lot of money in private. Although Mrs. Zhenyuan Marquis changed players halfway, both of them are rich women, and there shouldn't be any financial problems.
But the problem lies in the change of Mrs. Yuanhou in this town. In this year, there are too many big and small things to count. It would take a lot of alimony to send Yin Susu to agree to the divorce, even if the money and the severance pay of the concubines were all from the Zhang family. But the things that the Yin family and the concubines took away are not a few, and the re-purchase is the work of the Marquis of Zhenyuan. And to deal with the concubines in the palace and the court, so that these people do not point fingers, most of the money is from the Zhenyuan Marquis's Mansion.
Although everyone knows that Zhang Wan'er's entry into the house is a little dishonorable, it cannot be admitted, and the wedding still has to be held in a big way, which is a lot of money. Not to mention the extra cost caused by Zhang Wan'er's trouble, Zhang Wan'er was cultivated in the Zhang family's splendor, and her own expenses were not too much, and after she married in, the Hou Mansion spent one or two thousand taels more on her than Mrs. Yin at once. Last year, the natural disaster was severe, and the land rent income of the Hou government dropped sharply.
So it came and went, although it was only just after the first month. Not only last year's income, but also the more than 20,000 taels accumulated on the Hou Mansion's original books were used all at once, and more than 5,000 taels of debts have not been repaid. Although 1,500 taels is not much, it is also necessary to move the thoughts of Lu Pingzhi, the Marquis of Zhenyuan, at the moment.
Leave it on track. Lu Pingzhi couldn't say that he would just ignore the girl and abandon the chess piece directly. But under the eyes of Yin Susu and Zhenyuan Hou completely tearing their faces and holding his hatred steadily. He still made up his mind to make a sum of money to get this girl out. But the most critical question arises, what about money? Where does the money come from? The Hou Mansion still owes foreign debts, and there is no land rent at this time, and the restaurant has just moved, and the business is not very good, and it is the first month. Some other businesses that are secretly making money can't catch up. Lu Ping didn't think of any good way for a while, but he was a little unspeakably annoyed. Does his dignified Marquis Zhenyuan still want to ask someone to pawn something?
At the beginning, although the relationship between him and the Yin family was weak, the Yin family never let him worry about money, and there was also a time of difficulty. The Yin family either wanted to cross over, or paid some private money to fill it up. Wan'er's dowry is also quite generous, but Lu Pingzhi feels that he can't open his mouth.
He was worried, but Zhang Wan'er saw that he hadn't come to eat yet, so she came to urge him personally, and saw that he was worried, and asked, "Why are you worried?" ”
Lu Pingzhi thought about it, but still didn't say anything. Shaking his head, "Nothing." ”
Lin Yu's form town Marquis Lu Pingzhi was worried about money, Lin Yu was quite rich, she had sold a little land before, and was ready to open a restaurant. As a result, there was so much mess that things were delayed. At this point, many things came to an end. Qingqing also got better day after day, so she brought up this idea again.
She and Yin Susu fought with Mrs. Lin together, and they had some revolutionary friendship, and they became closer emotionally. Lin Yu also trusted Yin Susu more, so he asked Yin Susu to help recommend a restaurant manager or a trustworthy restaurant manager. Although Steward Wang is honest and willing to work, his ability is indeed relatively modest, and he is only suitable for being a deputy.
"Sister Susu, I know that many of your housekeepers are quite capable, so I can borrow one from me and help me open the restaurant. Lin Yu told the matter, and then put forward his own request.
"It's really been delayed for a long time, but I'm afraid that if it drags on any longer, Chang Luo will have to be replaced. Stewardship. It's a lot easier to do. Yin Susu glanced at Lin Yu with a smile, "But you can trust the person I recommend?" ”
"What's not to believe?" Lin Yu also smiled, "Sister Susu's big family business will still look at my money?" Besides, if you can win the favor of a beauty like you, what is it to give all the family property? ”
"As long as you are poor, but you are so good-looking, and you have a rich net worth, I don't know who can go to the road. If I want a brother, I will tell him about it. If you don't want anything else, just because you have a good temper. Yin Susu smiled, reached out and pinched Lin Yu's cheek, "Tsk, it's so soft." ”
Lin Yu is still very young at the moment, not yet sixteen years old, although it is a melon seed face, but there is still a little cute baby fat, Yin Susu thinks it is very cute, and he is addicted to it. Lin Yu struggled a few times, but he didn't expect that Lin Ruoyu's body that had practiced martial arts for several years had not yet struggled.
"Alright, no kidding." Yin Susu looked at Lin Yu and was a little embarrassed, so he got back to business, "You haven't done business seriously, you really need a skilled help." It just so happened that Steward Chen was busy with the things of the glass workshop, and he was idle, so let him help you. ”
"This is not good, and I have to tell people to rest and rest." When Lin Yu heard that Steward Chen was on vacation, he was a little worried that the other party would be reluctant and not be satisfied with him.
"To be honest, it's really a knife to kill chickens, and Steward Chen is not ordinary shrewd in doing business." Yin Susu naturally understood Lin Yu's concerns, but he also smiled. "But the reason for this is also clear to you, if you don't want to be the cause, forget it. Because of the glass workshop, I must be in contact with Chang Luo frequently, and it is easy to attract people's attention. It just so happens that your restaurant business is also linked to Chang Luo, which is a good cover. ”
Lin Yu only thought about it for a moment and nodded, since he had already chosen to share a boat with Yin Susu, then simply ordered. "But I also have to be careful about my business, I'm a small family, and I can't afford to pay for it."
"Naturally, Steward Chen is the most serious person, and besides, what he has to do in the glass workshop has ended. I just need him to help spread the word on both sides. Yin Susu nodded and said, "But you also have to respect him, don't treat him as an ordinary subordinate, and offend people in vain." ”
"Sister Susu, you and I have known each other for so long, am I such a person?"
Yin Susu thought about it, and nodded with a smile, "Since that suicide, your personality has changed a lot, maybe it's a good thing." ”
Lin Yu almost forgot about Lin Ruoyu's criminal record, but at this time, Yin Susu remembered it when she mentioned it, and secretly wiped her sweat.
"But there's something else I'd like to ask you?" Lin Yu thought about the attributes of this question, and then thought about the TV series and novels he had watched. Looking around with suggestive eyes, Yin Susu willingly drove the people around him out of the city.
"Let's talk about it now." Yin Susu smiled, "Why are you still so mysterious?" ”
"Which prince are you standing behind you?" Lin Yu finally asked the question that he had been guessing for a long time, and this question was indeed a bit taboo. Lin Yu can only be sure that he is not a supporter of the three princes, otherwise Concubine Li and the three princes in the palace will not support the remarriage of Marquis Zhenyuan. And judging from Lin Yu's understanding of Old Madam Lin and Zhenyuan Marquis Lu Pingzhi, they really don't know the energy means of Yin Susu. And Yin Susu and the prince seemed to be a little ambiguous before? But it seems that there is very little contact between the two sides.
"Do I have to stand behind a prince?" Yin Susu didn't answer directly, but picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
Lin Yu didn't react at first, but in the end, his brain was not slow. It doesn't have to be standing behind a prince, so it means that she is not actually a private supporter of any prince. However, Yin Susu's relationship with the royal family is obviously very close in private, especially with several old princes and princesses of the previous generation. No wonder Yin Susu was able to get the title of such a county lord, because she was the emperor's person at all.
"To be exact, I only have one goal, I must find out the people who assassinated my Yin family." Yin Susu put down the teacup and spoke in a calm tone, but Lin Yu would not doubt her determination at all,
"The blood of seventy-eight members of my Yin family cannot be shed in vain." Lin Yu was silent for a moment, and Yin Susu continued to say the bloody truth, "So Xiaoyu, it wasn't me who pulled you into the whirlpool, and your father also died at the hands of those people." And with your father's death, key clues are missing. You can't completely stay out of the situation and tell you something, and you can figure it out anyway. ”
Lin Ruoyu's father, Lin Yu thought for a moment and nodded. If Lin Ruoyu's father also died on it, Lin Ruoyu or she would not be able to understand the relationship at all.
"But don't be nervous, this matter will not be a day's work after all, and it may not really involve you." Yin Susu sighed, "I've been camping for many years, but there is still no result, you better put your heart back in your stomach and live a good life." ”
This sentence is quite in line with Lin Yu's thoughts, tomorrow will be over tomorrow. Compared with the distant problem, it is better to honestly do some small business, plant some small land, and make your purse richer.
"By the way, Sister Susu, I want to move back in a few days."
"Is Lan Yuan bad?" Yin Susu joked, "Am I not enthusiastic enough to entertain you?" ”
"Not really." Lin Yu said honestly, "It's not like that, it's not like that, and the key is that Dr. Xiaolin can't always stay in Lanyuan." ”
"Okay, don't talk nonsense with you, you can move back if you want, but remember to come to see me often. As for Steward Chen, I will tell him to go to you tomorrow on an errand. Yin Susu said with a smile.
There is no doubt that Yin Susu's words are like a holy decree in the entire Lan Yuan. Early the next morning, this manager Chen, who heard that he was very good at doing business, came to Lin Yu to report. (To be continued.)
