Chapter 168
Xue Qianxun has been in a good mood recently, and the things in the house are going on according to his plan, this day he came out of the house, followed by Sanshun, originally he took a carriage every time he went out, but now the sky is beautiful, the sky is clear, he said to Sanshun behind him: "Let's walk to the Tang family,"
Sanshun said in a low voice: "Yes,"
When Xue Qianxun walked to Tang's house, he saw Brother Xiang mending cabinets in the yard, looking at the furniture in the yard, he stepped forward and said, "Cousin, there are a lot of things today," in fact, he is five or six years older than Brother Xiang in terms of age, but who asked Tang Qing'er to call him cousin, after he married her, he also followed her.
Xue Qianxun came to Tang's house, when he saw Brother Xiang for the first time, he was a little restrained in the face of himself, he didn't know where to put his hands, and he didn't know what to say, every time Tang Qing'er would come over to relieve him, and he deliberately slandered himself in front of Brother Xiang, saying that he was a wolf in human skin, and asked Brother Xiang to be careful of himself, every time Brother Xiang scratched his head, smiling silly, which was quite like a future father-in-law.
Brother Xiang is tall and sturdy, and he is also very diligent, but his personality is a little dull, but he has been in contact for a long time, if you discuss with him what wood is most suitable for making cabinets or what to pay attention to when a carpenter is working, he will talk to you endlessly, Xue Qianxun has a good impression of Brother Xiang, and after coming to Tang's house and contacting him a few times, he slowly became familiar with it.
Brother Xiang said with a smile: "Business has been good recently, there are family members who want to move out, and Uncle Zhilu Dao collects these old things, so he sells all the items that cannot be moved away at home to his uncle." ”
"Oh, that's right," he said, looking back and forth in the courtyard unconsciously.
Brother Xiang shook his head, nodded at him and said, "What about staying in her house?" ”
Xue Qianxun was surprised, usually Tang Qing'er had already come out to paint the ceramics, why was he still stuffy in the house at this hour, and asked Sanshun to wait for him outside, he knocked on her door and said, "Qing'er?" ”
He didn't hear the answer inside for a long time, he knocked on the side again, the door slammed open, and Tang Qing'er said listlessly: "What's the matter?" ”
Xue Qianxun said with a rare good temper: "Why are you so decadent,"
Tang Qing'er waved her hand in annoyance: "Recently, I want to set up a shop, but I feel that something is wrong, and I can't make a decision for a long time." ”
"Oh, just because of this," Xue Qianxun helplessly reached out and rubbed her head because of this little thing.
Tang Qing'er said angrily: "Don't rub it anymore, the more you rub your hair, the more messy it becomes." ”
"Hehe, I like it, I like everything you look like,"
Who doesn't like sweet words, not to mention that Tang Qing'er has already taken a heart for Xue Qianxun, she smiled and said, "Today, your mouth is as sweet as smeared honey,"
Xue Qianxun nodded and said: "Bol's smile is what can I do if I have dessert in my mouth, not to mention that it is my true words." ”
Tang Qing'er was so troubled by Xue Qianxun, and she forgot about her troubles, and said to him with a smile: "I want to open a shop in the town, and let my father put the old things he receives in the shop to sell, and Brother Xiang has the skills to repair old furniture, and this business will definitely be prosperous." ”
"That's good,"
"That's why I have such a plan, in order to let the people in the town know that the family collects old things, I asked my father to make a wooden sign, write the word "Tang family", hang it on the handlebar of the ox cart, walk the streets and alleys so that everyone knows, and also produce a good effect, when my father does not go to collect things, the family with old things will automatically come to the house to tell my father, and when my father is free, he will go to his house to collect things. "This can be regarded as the impact of the butterfly effect, and most of the people in the town know that Tang Tiezhu's family collects old things.
"The effect is so good, you should open a shop." Xue Qianxun looked at Tang Qing'er with a little question.
Tang Qing'er Yaoyao said: "This year, there was a drought and a few days of heavy rain, the farmers' crops are afraid that there will be no harvest, and the house that the family bought in the town is said to be rented, if it is a shop, the people of Tangjia Village will think that our family is rich, grandma They are like leeches sucking my house, where are there people who take advantage of other people's lives to sell shops, and buy them while they are low, this is not a word that makes people poke their backbones?" So I'm hesitating? ”
Xue Qianxun looked through the window at Brother Xiang, who was repairing the wooden cabinet outside, and said to Tang Qing'er: "You can say that it was not bought by your family, but rented by your uncle's family, isn't it?" ”
Tang Qing'er lowered her head and her eyes swayed, she lowered her head as if she was deep in thought, her eyes were staring at the tips of her shoes, and when she looked up, she stared at Xue Qianxun with glowing eyes and said, "You're right, why didn't I think of this excuse?" ”
"You're just confused by what is in front of you," Xue Qianxun smiled at her when he saw that she had come out of her confusion.
Because of the drought and flood, many people began to come to the town to beg, last year's grain has been eaten, and this year's grain has not been harvested, so Xue Qianxun walked from Xue's house to Tang's house, and saw a lot of people begging along the street along the way, and many shops in the town were closed.
Tang Qing'er discussed with Xue Qianxun about buying a shop, how big a shop should be bought, which street it was on, and whether it needed to be renovated or not.
Hearing what she said so complicated, Xue Qianxun said directly: "Two days ago, I happened to see a shop, located in a busy road, surrounded by silk shops and ironware shops and the like, furniture and cabinets are sold, there is a large flow of people, and ......" He suddenly found that Tang Qing'er looked at him with an inquiring look, and immediately stopped talking.
Tang Qing'er saw that he stopped talking, but instead hooked the corners of his lips, and smiled like a fox: "Since it's so good, why don't you buy it?" ”
Xue Qianxun played with taste: "Since you have already guessed it, what else will I say?" ”
"Are you taking advantage of the fire?" Tang Qing'er really couldn't believe that he could do such a thing.
"As you said just now: other people's families can't afford to sell their shops, and it's immoral for us to buy them while it's low, but have you ever thought that if we didn't buy them, their families might have starved to death or be bought by others at a lower price than the price we offered." Xue Qianxun has been in business for so long, and he has long seen through the hot and cold state of the world.
Tang Qing'er was surprised to hear him say this, and was shocked by his insight into people's hearts, she never thought that someone could really take advantage of someone else's distress to step on his back, so she said slowly: "So, you have already bought that shop." ”
Xue Qianxun smiled lightly and said, "Well, that shop is also yours, because I plan to use it as a bride price for you when I marry you,"
Damn, it's really the way of life of the young master of a rich family, no wonder all women have wanted to marry rich families throughout the ages, and the dowry is really rich, Tang Qing'er smirked and said, "I didn't expect me to be so valuable,"
Thinking of living in modern life, her dormitory classmates told her that her sister got married, and the man's family gave 100,000 yuan and three gold, which was very good, and she calculated an account at that time, if she got married at the age of 30 and lived with a man for 50 years, it would be an average of 2,000 yuan per year, divided by 365 days, and it was only worth five yuan and a half a day, that is to say, from the day of marriage, let a woman use five yuan and five a day to wash your clothes, cook, clean up the room, and even sleep with you at night, give you children, and honor your parents. Why is it so like that sentence, you can't buy two dollars and suffer a loss, you can't be fooled, it's really worth the money.
Another classmate said to her, "People are really not as valuable as dogs," and this classmate is a dog fan, crazy about this precious dog breed.
Tang Qing'er remembered that she laughed at the time, and echoed and said: "Tibetan mastiffs are expensive, and purebred are almost tens of millions, who can compare,"
Xue Qianxun looked at her flash, stretched out his hand and shook it twice in front of her eyes, and when he saw her, he said, "What do you think?" So distracted? "The shop said well, how to start walking.
Tang Qing'er didn't dare to let him know what he was thinking, and said embarrassedly: "You are really generous,"
"Then we have to see who it is?" If it was Guo's mother and daughter, he would not have given it to them if he threw it away, and now they have received such retribution, which is really happy.
"I feel more and more that I am simply a newcomer." Tang Qing'er dragged a modern word and said to him.
Xue Qinxue, who was full of confusion, asked, "What is the four newcomers?" ”
Tang Qing'er stretched out her finger, broke her finger and said: "Four newcomers with ideals, morality, culture, and discipline." ”
Xue Qianxun couldn't hear the meaning of Tang Qing'er's words, and his face turned a little dark and said, "Do you want the shop I said." ”
Tang Qing'er hurriedly said: "Yes, yes,"
Xue Qianxun said slowly: "Okay, then when are you going to take a look?"
"It's better to hit the day than to choose a day, let's go now!" With a fiery temperament, he dragged Xue Qianxun and wanted to go out.
Xue Qianxun, who was being pulled, could only smile helplessly behind her, Sanshun saw the young master and the Qing'er girl coming out, and was busy standing aside waiting for their instructions, but saw the Qing'er girl walking in front of Brother Xiang and said to him: "Let's go, let's go out and take you to see something good,"
Brother Xiang looked at Xue Qianxun behind him and said, "You two can go, I won't go, there are still several pieces of wooden cabinets that have not been repaired, and I still have to work?" ”
Tang Qing'er let go of Xue Qianxun's hand, tugged on Brother Xiang's sleeve and said, "Go, go, you have to go." ”
Xue Qianxun said to Brother Xiang from behind: "Let's go together, this matter is indeed closely related to you,"
Brother Xiang was a little confused, what had something to do with him, he had been repairing the wooden cabinet in the yard and repairing it well, how could he still have anything to do with them, but Xue Qianxun followed his cousin to coax, he could only agree, put down the axe and hammer in his hand, wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve and said, "I don't need to go to the house to change clothes." ”
Tang Qing'er waved her hand and said, "No, it's good, it's not going to his house," and pointed at Xue Qianxun.
Brother Xiang went out with them, and Li came out of the house and saw their figures walking out, and shouted, "Where are you going?" ”
"Mother, let's go out for a walk, come back in a while, you cook at home and wait for us to come back to eat!" Tang Qing'er waved her hand nonchalantly to her mother.
"This kid, I didn't say a word," Li muttered, looked at Xun'er, he shook his head helplessly, and then looked at Brother Xiang, and the second monk was even more confused, looking at her in a daze, hoping that she could ask why.
No one in the Li family could count on it, so he could only go back to the house with a bang, and he was still muttering: "This girl, how can you take Brother Xiang out of the house?"
