Chapter Seventy-Two: Depressed
Mrs. Gao was depressed, her good mood was extinguished, and she completely lost her interest. @ζ¨@ζ@ε°@θ―΄|(The best experience of reading novels is all inγγ)
I originally came to the temple to please a good fortune, but who would have thought that Tang Wan would be so uninteresting! Mrs. Gao resented in her heart, not this time, it would be better to change the time next time, and hurriedly bid farewell to Cui's family.
Tang Wan was helpless, she didn't want to be annoying, but she couldn't bear to say it, why didn't they believe her? Mrs. Lin Si didn't believe it before, and now Mrs. Gao doesn't believe it either! It seems that few people can understand her kindness, so it is better to be cautious in the future.
Mrs. Gao didn't know Tang Wan's thoughts, and after returning home, she selectively forgot Tang Wan's words, and carefully took out the Guanyin statue and offered it to the head of the bed, and was afraid that Gao Shifu would be unhappy when she saw it, so she took out a box from under the bed, bowed a few times to the statue of Guanyin, and muttered:
"The Bodhisattva's atonement is not because the concubine is disrespectful, but because he is forced to condescend to the box. The old man is a good one, he always said that the children are given by the Bodhisattva, and sometimes there must be in life, but in fact, there is no force in the life If there is no child in the life, he accepts his fate! The concubine is nearly forty years old, I don't know if there is any blessing to be pregnant, and the concubine also took a few concubines to the master, coincidentally, they all gave birth to daughters, and there are seven daughters in the family! Bodhisattva, if you can make your concubine get her wish, the concubine will definitely eat fasting and chant Buddha for the rest of her life, and be pious and kind......"
Mrs. Gao chanted for a long time, and put the statue of Guanyin on the bedside table, "Amitabha, how can someone as good as the old man be destined to have no children?" Bodhisattva, you must bless me! β
Thinking that the Guanyin statue cost three hundred taels, Mrs. Gao was a little worried, now the family's income and expenditure are unbalanced, and she began to eat the old book a few years ago, and it won't be long before she will sit and eat empty, what should I do?
Mrs. Wen opened a shop of rouge water and rice on Qingyu Street a few days ago, and it is said that each person can earn 700 taels of silver, and the income is very objective, that is, there is no big capital, if there is capital, the expansion of the scale will definitely be able to earn more.
Speaking of which, Mrs. Wen once invited Mrs. Gao to join the shares. But at that time, she was afraid of taking risks, for fear of losing money, so she refused, and now it seems that she made a mistake! I just don't know if she finds her again, will Mrs. Wen still let her join the shares? She didn't want much, either. Just earn two or three hundred taels a month to cover expenses.
What to do? Go to Mrs. Wen, what if she refuses? Mrs. Gao hesitated, she couldn't just go! After thinking about it, she raised her voice and said, "Mother Liu, tell Miss." I'll go to Tang's house and let them stop asking for peace! β
Mrs. Gao took the two maids and went to Tang's house.
Seeing Cui's family, Mrs. Gao first saluted and confessed: "It's not my to disturb Mrs. so early, but I'm really boring at home, come to bother, I hope Mrs. don't blame me!" β
Cui Shi was very surprised, there must be something wrong so early, let's see what she said first. Cui's face was not revealed, and he smiled: "Where is the bother, I am looking forward to you coming!" Yesterday, Wan'er also said that your young lady is well-behaved and cute. I want to be close to them, why don't I see their sisters? β
Cui's kung fu can be seen, Tang Wan will say this? That is, people who don't know the details believe.
Mrs. Gao pretended to be annoyed and said, "Look at me! I don't know how to bring them, Wan'er is so good-looking, Wenwenwen is much better than the two in my family. "If it weren't for the poor relationship with the ladies and wives around her, why would she have found the Tang family, she was still angry with Tang Wan yesterday! There is no way, people are poor and short-sighted!
People are polite, and Cui's is naturally polite, otherwise Mrs. Gao will be unhappy.
"Wan'er, that kid. Not to mention the two young ladies of your family, that is everyone's ladies, the big belly has poetry and books, and the small one is lively and cute. It's really a pair of sister flowers, and everyone's eyes light up when they see it! β
Cui Shi smiled, and at this time, Tang Wan Lin Jiafu came to greet Cui Shi, and won a compliment from Mrs. Gao.
"Wan'er, Zhen'er and Zhu'er like you very much, if you have time to go to our house to play! Sister Fu is also with her. Zhu'er is a few years older than Fu'er, but her temperament is not as stable as yours! Mrs. Gao said.
Tang Wanmian was stunned when she heard this, she and Miss Gao were not familiar with each other, when did she say that she liked them and wanted to play together? Mrs. Gao is also strange, she was still angry yesterday, why is she so kind today?
Lin Jiafu was embarrassed to be praised, and said in a low voice: "Yes, the two sisters are beautiful, I like them." β
Tang Yunxiao on the side sneered and squeezed his eyes at her: If you are beautiful, you have to play with people? It's a bit of a good thing, okay!
Tang Wan glared at Tang Yunxiao and warned him: Don't be weird!
Tang Yunxiao drooped his head and pulled Lin Jiafu out of the door.
Seeing that the two of them were gone, Mrs. Gao accompanied Cui's to talk for a while, Cui's played Tai Chi with her, seeing that half an hour had passed, Mrs. Gao felt that it was almost over, and tried to say carefully:
ββ¦β¦ I heard that the Buddhism of the Jokhang Temple is profound, and it is the most effective to pray to God and worship the Buddha to fulfill people's wishes, so I spent a lot of money to invite the statue of Guanyin. But the things in the Jokhang Temple are too expensive, and a pendant of a town house is only three hundred taels, which is really a lion's mouth! Money is spent like flowing water, but where is it so easy to make money! You say yes, right? β
Tang Wan agreed, she thought so yesterday.
Cui Shi also agreed: "Exactly, I also think it's a little expensive!" β
Cui's has a rich dowry, and his subordinates also have shopkeepers who are good at management, Tang Cheng has been an official over the years, and he frequently gives gifts to get through relationships, relying on Cui's good management, and the life of the Tang family has always been very rich.
Tang Wan knew that Cui's believed in Buddhism, and Cui's was generous in the temple, she didn't agree, but she had no right to be dry, the money was Cui's, and Cui's was happy.
Seeing Cui's approval, Mrs. Gao made persistent efforts and said: "Relying on the few gentlemen of the masters, if you eat, drink and dress plainly at home, it will be enough." But which family doesn't have a few relatives, this relationship is a big deal, how can you do it without money? Gifts are all gifts, can we not return the gifts we have received from others? Besides, when you are an official outside, you always have to socialize, bosses, colleagues, friends, eating, drinking, and playing, which one is not a money-consuming thing? If you don't have money and can't make money, you can only sit and eat. β
Cui nodded: "Yes, tea, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar tea, everything is inseparable from money!" "Her dowry has been spent a lot over the years, the shop has a good income, and the income and expenditure are basically balanced, but who doesn't want to make more money!
A penny is difficult for a hero, Tang Wan knows this truth, but she has never worried about money, she can't empathize with poverty, she faced life and death in her previous life, she doesn't understand the sorrow of poverty, ordinary people can't understand the cruelty of life and death. It's called "You never understand my sadness"!
Seeing that the heat was almost over, Mrs. Gao said, "Madame, is there a way to make money, how about we open a shop together?" If you don't want to worry about it, it's good to invest in someone else's shop, you don't have to do anything every month, and wait for the dividends, what a good thing! β
Cui Shi understood the purpose of her visit, and immediately smiled: "Do you have a way?" β
Mrs. Gao said: "It's not me, it's Mrs. Wen next door, she opened a shop selling rouge water and rice on Qingyu Street, and the income is good, if someone buys shares, she will definitely be able to earn more." β
Cui asked, "Mrs. Wen wants to invite someone to join the shares?" Why didn't you hear her say a few days ago, you are doing it for her? She's too outward, just tell me directly, and trouble you to go. β
Hearing Cui Shi say this, Mrs. Gao's face turned red, it's not like this at all! If Mrs. Wen was willing to invite her, she wouldn't come to the Cui family to go around in circles.
Cui Shi said: "I'll ask her tomorrow, if it's really that good, you can consider it!" β
As soon as she heard that Cui's was going to Mrs. Wen, Mrs. Gao was anxious and blurted out: "No!" β
Cui Shi looked at her in surprise, Mrs. Gao said embarrassedly: "Let me tell you the truth, Mrs. Wen did invite me half a year ago, but at that time her shop had just opened, I didn't have much money and I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to get it back, and now the family is really difficult, I want to follow Mrs. Wen to make money but I'm afraid that she will refuse, so I came to you!" β
There's no way, Cui's is going to find Mrs. Wen, won't she be exposed? It's better for her to be with her.
Cui Shi realized that Mrs. Gao saw that people made money, and she wanted to buy shares but couldn't pull her face, and wanted her to come out!
Is! Tang Wan was speechless, you don't want to take risks when people invite you, and you want to join when you see people making money, it's too cautious! Is there really a shortage of money? Now she is instigating others to be the first rafters, is she stupid to be someone else? Cui's won't be so easy to fool.
Who is Cui? A shrewd and capable housewife! Will she come out rashly without asking the reason?
If Mrs. Gao had been honest with her as soon as she came, maybe the Cui family would have helped her by seeing her frank and reaching out to help her, but now that she is hiding it, the Cui family will not be this wronged leader! Stupidly let people take advantage of it, and have enough confidence in Cui's and Tang Wan!
"Mrs. Gao, I just moved in, and you can see that our family is getting up! The family's money is really not turnover, Xiao'er has to invite the husband in two days, and the master has to officially take office in two days, just like you said, the boss and colleagues have to take care of it, the expenses are large, and there is really no surplus money to do business. I know that this is your kindness and invited me to do a good thing to make a fortune, but I have no money in my hands and can only watch. Thank you for your kindness! Alas! A penny is hard to beat a hero! β
Hehe, take a look! That's it! Tang Wan applauded in her heart, Cui's is good!
Mrs. Gao was disappointed and unwilling, and lobbied for a while, but Cui Shi tactfully but resolutely expressed her attitude: Don't do it!
Mrs. Gao could only return in vain.
Not to mention how Mrs. Gao struggled after she went back, let's just say that the Cui family, after Mrs. Gao left, taught Tang Wanzun: "In the future, I will have less contact with the Gao family, Mrs. Gao can't have a deep friendship with such a temperament, let's stay away from the Gao family, just be polite!" Hui Xian, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and get along with neighbors to be sincere and generous, but also remember that the friendship of gentlemen is as light as water, and we don't mix with other people's affairs! β
Tang Wan nodded: "Mother is right." (To be continued.) )
