Brother Xuan and Wang both walked out of the West Wing with red eyes, and Brother Xuan had breakfast hastily and was escorted to the school by Shunzi. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

By the end of the afternoon, Xu Yiliang came back with the Wang family steward and his grandmother.

"Dad, you're back." Xu Lan took her sister out to meet his father.

Xu Yiliang touched Xu Tang's head, and he was still very kind to his children.

Wang Shi came out, looking at Xu Yiliang a little awkwardly and eagerly.

"Have you had lunch?"

"Not yet, I'm in a hurry to get home" Xu Yi's conscience was still a little guilty.

"Xu Lan, let Mama Li make something to eat," Wang said to Xu Lan.

Xu Lan answered and was about to be discharged from the hospital to find Mama Li, Xu Tang pulled Xu Lan's sleeve. Xu Lan looked at her as if she was a stranger to her parents. sighed in his heart, and took Xu Tang out together.

After a while, Mama Li cooked some noodles and brought them in.

Wang waited for Xu Yiliang to wash up, and then ate the noodles.

After Xu Yiliang finished eating the noodles.

Wang asked, "How is the Grange doing?" ”。

"I sold three hundred taels together with Zhuangzi, and there was another piece of thirty acres of land left unsold, and it was rented to farmers, so I collected some rent every year, and the countryside couldn't afford to sell it for any money." Xu Yiliang said sullenly, if it weren't for the Wang family's steward to go down together, he wouldn't have been able to sell the Zhuangzi smoothly at all, and sighed that he had read the book for so many years, and it was useless.

"Master, I've worked hard these days, why don't you rest first, and we'll discuss something tomorrow."

"No, let's call the Wang family steward, let's discuss a charter" After Xu Yiliang was beaten by his brother-in-law, he seemed to be much more sober.

Seeing him like this, the Wang family felt a little comforted, after all, how this family will live in the future depends on the master.

Xu Lan wanted to know what they were going to do next. When I was in Xu's house, I was trapped in my yard, and I couldn't get out of the idle door, once I wanted to slip away quietly, but I was almost abducted when I got lost, I was too young in the end, and there was no way to live outside, fortunately, my grandmother brought someone to find her, she put away her mind and continued to live in Xu's house, and then Mrs. Xu was seriously ill, and she was also sent to live in Zhuangzi, with a little maid by her side, and the little maid complained that she was burdened by her, so she didn't care much about herself, but fortunately she had some common sense of life, Otherwise, I am afraid that I will starve to death in the countryside.

"Master, why don't we open a fat powder shop, we are familiar with the way." Wang said to Xu Yiliang, who was sitting in front of the desk. Originally, there was a fat powder shop and a garment shop, and it was also a good location in Xijing, and it was a good location in Xijing City for decades, and it was quite famous in the entire Xijing City, and the big families in the city were basically frequent visitors, and there was a harvest of one or two thousand taels of silver a year. Otherwise, how could the family live a life of slaves and maidservants?

Xu Yiliang hesitated, and he didn't take care of the affairs at home, and he didn't know how much it would cost to open this shop.

Xu Yiliang took out a silver ticket of three hundred taels and handed it to the Wang family.

"But I don't know if the capital is enough."

"When my mother died, she still left some body left, got rid of the house, paid off some debts, and left two hundred taels." In fact, the old lady asked her to leave some for her two granddaughters as a dowry, but now that they have changed like this, how can they take care of it! There are also some dowries of her own, which are her own private property, although she can take it out if she wants to, but now she doesn't want to bet all her bets on Xu Yiliang.

"Master, madam" Steward Zhao stood at the door of the study.

Wang hurriedly beckoned him in, and invited him to sit down on the chair next to the desk, and Steward Zhao sat on the side.

"We want to open a fat powder shop, I wonder what Steward Zhao thinks?" Xu Yiliang said.

"Well, our master also said before that it was best to open a familiar one, it turned out that he had opened a fat powder shop, and he was familiar with the purchase and distribution of goods, so I am afraid that the specifications will be lowered." Steward Zhao replied.

"Let's open a mid-range shop, not more high-end than the original, the shop can be found on Tianbi Street, although it is not as lively as Bikuo Street, but it is also possible." Wang continued: "But I don't know how much capital I need? ”

"I estimate that two hundred taels can be opened, and if I have some more goods, three hundred taels should be enough," Steward Zhao replied.

……

Next, Steward Zhao and Xu Yiliang went in and out, busy. Xu Lan also gradually knew that she was going to reopen a fat powder shop at home.

Xu Lan wanted to participate, but she was only a ten-year-old child, and she was still a girl. In this era, although there are women who show their heads, they are basically women, and there are almost no girls who go out to do business. Although the Wang family doesn't treat herself well, she doesn't treat herself lightly, but even if she thinks about Brother Xuan'er's reputation in the future, the current situation will not let her go out to do these things.

Xu Lan tried her best every day as long as Xu Yiliang and Steward Zhao came back, pretending that she had no intention of coming up to listen.

The shop has been rented and is on Tianbi Street.

Mama Zhao went to the shop first to stare at the cabinet, and she couldn't wait in the house during this time.

Xu Lan made tea. Brought to the study.

"Isn't that Blanc too high-end, after all, we're only mid-range," Wang asked, holding a list.

"Although this Bilan resin is a bit high-end, but it is only medium and high, we still have to buy a few things, in case the guests want to be better, there are also those who can get it." Steward Zhao replied.

"It's just that this person still needs to be looked for again, and it is best to be familiar with the shopkeeper of this industry. The servant and the woman on the counter also want one," said Steward Zhao. "The shopkeeper on the previous counter was very good, but this month's case is too high, it's better to find it again, our shop is also small." The implication of Steward Zhao's words is that the temple is too small and there is no need to invite the Buddha.

Xu Lan had no reason to stay here anymore after serving them tea, and slowly retreated.

I thought to myself, if only I could go out and do things.

Looking at the sky in the yard, I don't know that the sky is so big. But I know that the sky outside is very big. And he must become strong, throw himself into the countryside and let him fend for himself, and he doesn't want to live anymore.

Back in the side room of the west wing, Xu Lan sat in front of the window and stared blankly at the pomegranate tree in the yard.

She suddenly had an idea, but she was afraid that her father would not agree.

At the end of the afternoon, Brother Xuan ran in from outside, his clothes were also torn, and when he came in, he ran to Wang's house.

"Mother, I don't go to school, isn't there a private school in the county, I want to go there to study!" Xu Xuan said with some annoyance.

Wang was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to check, and there was a bloody mark on his neck. I looked at it with pain. Thankfully, there were no injuries elsewhere, except for a big tear in his clothes. The drooping ones hung there.

Wang didn't speak, she knew that Xu Xuan was afraid that he had met a lowland person with dog eyes, but that was the most famous Hongkun Academy in the city, and the teacher who sat in the hall had retired from Guozi Prison! It took a lot of effort to let Xu Xuan go in and read. That's it。。。。。

"When your father comes back, how about I discuss it with your father?"

"Xu Lan, tell Junzi to come in." Wang called Xu Lan and lowered his head again, gently persuading Xu Xuan.

Xu Lan walked to the front yard and called in front of Junzi's house, but no one answered. Thinking about putting the carriage in the transept. Xu Lan stood at the door and waited.

Sure enough, Junzi came in, and Junzi was a little surprised when she saw Xu Lan standing in front of his house, but she just glanced at it and bowed her head. Xu Lan looked at him unhurriedly, thinking, he was still quite calm. Isn't it normal to run home first and tell the mistress in this situation? Not afraid of being scolded? Xu Lan usually didn't pay attention to him, but at this time she looked at him seriously, she was more than a head taller than herself, and she was estimated to be three or four years older than herself, and her skin was a little dark. The man is quite sturdy, and he doesn't feel like an ordinary slave.

"Brother Junko, mother called you." Xu Lan shouted with some innocence, calling the child who was actually younger than herself to call her brother, Xu Lan felt awkward in her heart.

Junzi was obviously shocked by this brother, and it took a long time to wave his hands with red ears, "Don't dare, don't dare, small, it's okay for Miss to call me Junko." ”

Well, that's a bit like that. Xu Lan retracted her gaze.
