Chapter Ninety-Seven: Thinking Before and After Thinking
Mama Hu is about to regret dying now! She said that Young Master Xi doesn't need a night watchman here, look at what stupid things she's done now!
What kind of person Young Master Xi is, no one knows better than Mama Hu, and it is strange that such a person understands human affairs. Originally, she also expected that the eldest grandmother would take the initiative to teach the young master Dunlun, but it was a pity that the eldest grandmother could take care of the young master as a child, but she could not treat it intimately as a husband. Anyway, she has always been concerned about paying attention to this matter, why didn't she hold back when she heard the sound of cracking!
Mama Hu really wants to give herself two slaps and see what kind of embarrassing situation she is in now. On the bed not far away, Young Master Xi was pressing the eldest grandmother underneath, and his hands were still enlarged on his grandmother's chest.
But at the same time that Mama Hu was stunned, Jing Wushuang also came back to her senses, and she didn't know where she got so much strength to lift Qin Ruixi out, turn over and sit up, "I...... I'm going to ask about Han Ni's shop, and I'm sleeping with her tonight. Since Han Yue officially became Qin Ruixi's "Mr.", Jing Wushuang returned Han Ni's deed of sale to her, but Han Ni still regarded herself as her eldest maid, but her residence was better than Su Fang and Su Yuan, and it was a single room in the right wing.
And the defenseless Qin Ruixi was directly lifted out of bed by her, although she reacted quickly and didn't fall and eat, but she was also disheveled and unbearable. Seeing Jing Wushuang roll out of the room without even saying hello to Mama Hu, he didn't know whether to be frustrated or complain.
"Young Master Xi, you ...... You okay. "To be honest, Mama Hu felt that such a young master Xi looked a little scary, and asked a little cautiously.
"It's okay, I'll go to the study, and you clean up the house." Now he can't sleep anymore, it's better to go to the study to practice calligraphy again, of course, by the way, wake up Ji Junluo and Han Yue to discuss how to spend tomorrow with a busy schedule, what if he is taken away by the stupid Qin Ruixi on a whim?
In Han Ni's room, Han Ni, who was doing needlework, couldn't help but be shocked when she saw Jing Wushuang in a hurry, "Grandma, is something wrong?" β
Jing Wushuang then sat down with a somewhat rapid heartbeat. "It's okay, it's just that I suddenly remembered that I asked you to help me look at those two shops in the afternoon, and I came back and forgot how you were doing."
"It's not going well," Han Ni said, factually finding a stack of papers that she had sorted out when she returned in the afternoon, and placed it on the table between the two. "These two shops sell grain and clothes and materials, but after the shop was given to you, the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion took back the shopkeeper who managed the shop, and the shopkeeper took away most of the goods, and now they are all in a mess, and in two days it will be the day of paycheck. I have promised in your name, Grandma, that there will be no change. β
Speaking of this, Han Ni looked at Jing Wushuang as if asking. Jing Wushuang had never run a shop in his previous life, and at that time, he was only thinking about getting something from Mrs. Weiyuan Hou, who had ever thought that it would be so complicated, and he couldn't help but feel numb, "It's good for you to call the shots." β
Han Ni immediately disagreed, "Grandma, you can read and break words, and I also taught you to read accounts." The locations of these two shops are not bad, and if the grandmother is on the safe side, she can rent them out to collect rent. But it's much worse than managing something yourself. Young Master Xi is going to Guozijian, and Grandma is going to repair the Zhuangzi in Xishan, no matter what, it will be silver, if it is rented, ......"
The implication is, of course, that renting out is a dead end. There is no need for Han Ni to explain too much, Jing Wushuang, who had calculated the accounts before, also knew that the Summer Palace was now completely operating in negative equity, and if it weren't for the emperor and the queen mother rewarding something, they wouldn't have been able to support such a small number of people. But the rewards of the queen mother and the emperor are all for the sake of recognizing Qin Ruixi, can they still live with this? What's more, these two just give something, and they will send it with them. It's embarrassing that people eat fragrant and drink spicy food in the palace, and when they come to the Summer Palace, they shrink their clothes and diet? Inevitably, it is another big expense.
"Don't rent it, let's build our own shop. What to do? In terms of grain, there were many Zhuangzi in Weiyuan Houfu that could be produced and sold by themselves, and we took over and did it again, and we were not familiar with it, and second, there was no source of goods, and it would definitely not be possible. Hey, or tomorrow I'll go to the palace and I'll take a look when I come back. The cloth village is easy to do, I see that you are embroidering every day, and there are not so many things around me. It's better for you to take over the cloth and do it. We can not only sell clothes materials, but also make some ready-to-wear clothes, collect some accessories and sell them together, and I can draw some clothes styles when I go back, and see if I can sell them......"
Jing Wushuang originally thought that she didn't know how to do business, but when she talked about Buzhuang, she remembered those days in the back house. Jing Shuangxue and those concubines in Chengfu like to dress up every day, showing off in front of her, what new colors, new embroideries, and new styles are coming out of the capital, and before she knows it, she remembers so many styles. At that time, the Cheng Mansion was rich and luxurious, presumably the ladies wore the most up-to-date clothes, if they were made, it should not be difficult to sell, right?
Han Ni was very surprised, this master is actually very thoughtful, but for some reason, he is a little shrunken, and his bright appearance does not match her at all, but now he looks like he is finally having the grace of everyone's daughter.
Qin Ruixi, who had been eavesdropping outside the door for a long time, finally walked to the study with confidence, what Jing Wushuang was worried about, he naturally heard what he was worried about, as a human husband, it was really useless to let his wife worry about her livelihood, he had to be angry and think about what the two shops could do to make the fastest money.
He was thinking about how to help Jing Wushuang come up with advice, but he didn't know that after he left, Han Ni and Jing Wushuang changed the topic again, and it was still related to him.
"Grandma, are you coming to talk to me about the shop at this hour?" Han Ni can't be allowed not to doubt that Qin Ruixi slept early, and Jing Wushuang always went to bed early; But now it's three watches, and Jing Wushuang is still chattering in her room with a piece of paper, which is not normal at all.
"Well, when I think about it, I came over and said, I didn't bother you." Jing Wushuang quietly covered the yawn at the corner of his mouth and tried his best to keep his composure.
It's a pity that Han Ni's eyes are much sharper than she imagined, and she can see the flaws at a glance, but in view of the identities of the two, she was embarrassed to expose her immediately, but got up and walked to the door, "Grandma, now that the matter is over, you should go back and rest and don't delay the time to enter the palace tomorrow morning." β
Thinking about the embarrassment of going back and facing Qin Ruixi, maybe what can he do if he innocently asks her to be like this with him again with a pair of clear and bright phoenix eyes?
"Grandma," Han Ni sighed heavily in her heart when she saw this, and asked Jing Wushuang seriously, "Have you ever thought about separating from Young Master Xi?" β
"How so?!" Jing Wushuang couldn't be more sure of this.
"Then do you think you'll marry someone else?" Han Ni asked again.
Jing Wushuang shook her head without thinking about it, except for Qin Ruixi, she looked at any man now with a hateful face, if it weren't for Qin Ruixi, she would rather never marry.
"Since the eldest grandmother has no plans to do it, why are you hiding from your husband?" Han Ni's words suddenly made Jing Wushuang's eyes widen. (To be continued.) )
