When Qian Yixiu was bargaining with Xiao Er, the shopkeeper Zhao sent the guests downstairs. He laughed when he heard Qian Yixiu's words, sent the guest out of the door, and turned around and came to Qian Yixiu's side. He laughed in a low voice and said, "Sister is here to buy hairpins again?" Okay, I'll give you a 20% discount. However, if there is anything good in the future, sell it to us Yinlou. ”

Yinlou's business is so good now because Pan Yuma bought the rare pearls sold by her family. Therefore, the shrewd shopkeeper Zhao is looking forward to her family still having unsold pearls.

Qian Yixiu is bound to get that hairpin, and he will buy it even if he doesn't reduce the price. Seeing that Zhao's shopkeeper had discounted and saved six taels of silver, he was even happier. She took out a hundred taels of silver tickets and handed them to the shopkeeper Zhao, who found her a fifty taels of silver tickets and twenty-six taels of silver. He also took a beautiful small purse and put the hairpin in it and handed it to Qian Yixiu.

Then he asked, "Sister, don't you buy something for yourself?" ”

Qian Yixiu shook his head and said, "Your jewelry is good-looking, but it's a little expensive, and I am reluctant to buy it." ”

Shopkeeper Zhao laughed again and took out a small silver hairpin from the counter. At the top of the small hairpin is a small whitebait. "This hairpin is given to my sister, and next time I remember that your grandfather has something good to sell, I will bring it here." ”

Qian Yixiu nodded and smiled, Zhao's shopkeeper was far more cute than he imagined. It seems that more cooperation can be done in the future.

Out of the Baoji Silver Building, I went to Luxiang Zhai not far away. The little lady cried because she didn't buy balm, so Qian Yixiu wanted to buy some skin care products for herself, and also bought a gift for the little lady on behalf of her brother.

Lu Xiang Zhai is the most high-end rouge gouache shop in the whole Jizhou Province, which not only sells its own production of balsam, fragrance, but also sells rouge gouache produced in Beijing and Jiangnan, and there are even those from the Western Regions and Persia, and the price is very expensive.

Qian Yixiu didn't dare to go upstairs, but only went around the first floor. The vast majority of them here are female guests, or female guests wrapped in gold and silver, so Xiao Er is two teenage girls, and a thirteen or fourteen-year-old half-year-old.

Xiao Er did not despise her, a little girl in a cloth dress, and saw her picking it up decently, and patiently took it for her.

She picked it and smelled it, and then she felt that the box of lotus balsam she bought for the little lady in Erliu Town was cheap and good-valued. The color and fragrance of the balsam can catch up with the middle and upper products here, but the packaging is inferior and the reputation is not obvious, so it can't be sold at a high price.

It seems that after going back, I have to find a way to get my own splendid store to cooperate with the workshop that produces balsam to promote the balsam packaging.

After repeated comparisons, she bought a small bottle of Qinglian Fragrance for the little lady. The vial is glazed porcelain and is extremely beautiful. In her opinion, this glazed porcelain bottle is much more high-grade than the glass bottle. The price of all the perfumes in small glass bottles here is ridiculously high.

And the small porcelain bottle is a low-end product, and the small bottle she bought cost two taels of silver.

She bought another box of balm for children's skin care, and thought of Aimei's Qian Manting Little Lori, so she bought another box and spent one or two or eight dollars of silver.

Now the little aunt doesn't have to worry about herself, Wan Dazhong has bought her a full set of cosmetics including balsam, rouge, eyebrow stones, and fragrant cakes. As for Grandma Wu, she may be scolded if she buys it, so forget it.

The jewelry and balsam lotion she bought today are all low-priced items in high-end stores, and she still spent so much silver, and women's items are the most expensive at any time.

Qian Yi embroidered Lu Xiangzhai and looked at Liang Gao, who had been running with him for a long time. smiled, "I invited Brother Liang to eat longan buns." ”

Liang Gao smiled, "You call me eldest brother, why is the eldest brother embarrassed to let the little sister pay the silver?" Let's go, let's buy some buns and go back, young master, they must be hungry. ”

The two went to Yixianglou and bought ten cages of longan buns, five cages of steamed shrimp dumplings, and five cages of cuipi roasted wheat.

Back at Wuxi Tea House, the storytelling of the morning session has been finished. But the boys hadn't heard enough, so they rewarded the storyteller and called him to the private room to continue.

Uncle Liang was very happy to see Liang Gao come back from buying so much food, and said, "Count you brilliant." ”

After a few people finished eating, they continued to listen to the afternoon session. In the evening, he went to the restaurant for dinner, and Wan Dazhong took his four children to call a donkey cart and went back to Qian Sigui's house.

Not to mention Qian Yixiu's lamentation of the life of rich people, even the little girl in Qian Manting said, "It's good to be rich, not only can you eat restaurants every day, but you can also sit in the teahouse every day to listen to book reviews." ”

Qian Sangui had already gone home, and because he was too tired, he had already fallen asleep. Qian Hua didn't come back, and Qian Sigui said that he had no place to live, so Qian Hua took the person who bought it to live in the inn.

Qian Sigui took a fancy to a courtyard today, and wanted to discuss it with Qian Sangui. But seeing that the third brother's face was a little blue, he had to let him go to sleep first. Seeing that the little brother and sister were back, he pulled them to talk with great interest.

Although the location of that courtyard is not in the golden port, it is not as remote as here, the key is that there is a clan next to it, and it is not far from the Xizhou Mansion Academy. The yard is quite large, the front can be used as a shop and a drying room, the back yard can live for families, and there is a well in the yard.

This is a typical school district house, the school district house in the previous life is a big selling point, and some of them are speculated to sky-high prices. The eyes of the fourth noble grandfather are really poisonous.

Qian Yixiu said, "Fourth grandfather, you are really capable. The dim sum shop is next to the clan school and the academy, and the business must be easy to do. Rent such a good place quickly, after this village, there will be no such shop. ”

"The yard is good, but the rent is too expensive, and it costs fifteen taels of silver a month. The fourth grandfather was a little undecided. Qian Sigui said.

Qian Yijin said with a smile, "A big investment will have a big harvest, and you must be willing to give it when you should be willing to give it." ”

After a period of pandering from the little brother and sister, Qian Sigui couldn't wait to rent the yard immediately. I can't help but feel ashamed, no wonder the third brother's family will start, even a seven-year-old child is so courageous.

It seems that Man Po has to hurry up and go to study, so that reading can make people smarter.

After breakfast the next day, Qian Sangui was hurriedly pulled by Qian Sigui to see the shop.

Wan Dazhong took the curious little brother and sister to the Xinglai Inn. The inn was not far from here, and a few people walked for more than two quarters of an hour to arrive.

found Qian Hua's room, and he said that yesterday the shopkeeper Cui took them to the largest tooth store in Xizhou. It also happened that Ji'an Province only dealt with an official who colluded with bandits a few months ago, the official was beheaded, his family was exiled to Lingnan, and his subordinates were sold.

The price is not expensive, and there is no need to train it.

Qian Sigui bought two houses, a total of eleven people.

Qian Yixiu said worriedly, "The subordinates of the official family, although they don't need to be trained, but they are also well-fed, can they be willing to go to the countryside with us?" ”

Qian Hua said with a smile, "These two families look good, Fourth Uncle Qian said the situation at home, and they are still willing to follow Fourth Uncle." They feel that as long as the family is together, even if it is harder, they will be happy. What's more, when I saw the fourth uncle, he was a kind person. ”

Perhaps thinking of the scene at that time, Qian Hua sighed deeply, and went out to call the two families over to kowtow to the little master.

The family surname is Cai, the old man Cai is forty-nine years old, his son Cai He is thirty years old, the daughter-in-law Ding is twenty-eight years old, the eldest granddaughter Cai Xiaohua is eleven years old, and the youngest granddaughter Cai Xiaoye is six years old.

The family surname is Su, the man Su Ming is thirty-five years old, the daughter-in-law He is thirty-five years old, the eldest son Su Dawu is seventeen years old, the second son Su Erwu and the third son Su Sanwu are twins, fifteen years old, and the fourth son Su Siwu is twelve years old.

After seeing these two families, Qian Yijin and Qian Yixiu were happy. Even these two families knew what the little master was happy about, and blushed embarrassedly.

It's really too different between these two families, the people of the Lao Cai family are all short and white, and the people of the Lao Su family are burly and black, and the difference is very big. The only woman in the old Su family, He, is also tall and strong, taller than the two men of the old Su family.

The little brother and sister talked to them for a while, and the two families were very respectful to the little master, at least on the surface, it looked good.

After the two families retreated, Qian Hua said, "Lao Cai Tou turned out to be the second housekeeper of that family, Cai He was also the manager of the account, and Qian Dawu was doing things outside. Fourth Uncle Qian means that in the future, Cai He and Su Dawu will follow me to work as errands in the county's splendid shop, Cai He will be the account room, and Su Dawu will run foreign affairs. Lao Cai is in charge of the family's affairs, Huang Tie is in charge of digging ponds and planting lotus roots, and Su Ming follows Huang Tie. The second and third sons of the Su family were first sent to learn the work of serving lotus roots, and the fourth boy specialized in serving Uncle Qian. He turned out to be the cook of that family, and she made good dishes, and she was in charge of the kitchen in the future......"

also specifically said that if Cai Xiaohua is proper, she will give Qian Manxia as a dowry girl in the future.

Wan Dazhong listened, showed his white teeth and started to laugh.

Qian Yixiu looked at Wan Dazhong with big eyes as pure as a white lotus mother, and asked glutinously, "Uncle Wan, do you like to marry a girl?" Why are you so happy to marry a girl? ”

Wan Dazhong's black face turned red, and he hurriedly said, "Xiu'er is talking nonsense, where does Uncle Wan like what kind of girl." Uncle Wan was just happy...... Hey hey ......"

Qian Hua shook his head and laughed.

He and Wei were going to lead these people on an ox cart for a day, and then set off tomorrow. When they arrived in Xishan County, they arranged for these people to live in an inn first. Qian Sangui also asked him to find a shop and house in the county, one as the office location of the Splendid Show, and the other as a zero-hour foothold for his family to go to the county seat.

Because Qian Hua wanted to leave early, he asked Wan Dazhong to bring Su Siwu back to Qian Sigui's house, and he would serve Qian Sangui in the future.

On the way home, Qian Yijin also bought a pine crutch for Mrs. Qian.

Qian Sangui was very satisfied with the yard, and had already told the people who rented the yard that he would go to hand over the silver and apply for the deed at the end of the day. These will be handled by Qian Sigui.

After renting the yard, Qian Sigui began to go out early and return late, looking at the renovation of the house. Now there is no account room, and he remembers every account clearly.

On the 26th, Qian Sigui did a long ideological struggle, but he still went to the dart game. The dart game can be described as his sad place, when he was full of ambition to run darts to earn a good life for his parents, wife and children, but his life was almost hit.

He specially changed into a silk robe, put on a turban, and bought new clothes for the little servant Su Siwu, took six boxes of old brothers' snacks, and went in a donkey cart. After dark, he was sent back by the dart board in a drunken state.

After dinner, Qian Yijin wore a small robe, a square scarf, took four boxes of old brothers' snacks, and went to Zhai's mansion happily accompanied by Wan Dazhong.

When Xiao Zhengtai came back, he was far less excited than after seeing Lord Zhai the day before yesterday, and he was even a little depressed.

"What's the matter, the porter didn't let you in, so you didn't see Lord Zhai?" Qian Yixiu asked.

"No," Qian Yijin said, "I saw Lord Zhai...... Mr. Zhang said that Mr. Zhai has a noble character, is strict with himself, and is dedicated to his official affairs. Although he was a high-ranking official and rich and graceful, he never thought of abandoning his wife who shared hardships and hardships. Compared with those who are full of benevolence and morality, but say one thing and do another, it is really different, and they are people worthy of our respect and learning. Yes, when Lord Zhai was lecturing to me, Mrs. Zhai came to the study and said that she had a pain in her neck and asked Lord Zhai to pinch her neck. Lord Zhai said that he asked her to go back to the inner courtyard first, and he would go back to pinch her later. But the old lady was unwilling, saying that I was afraid of a male baby? Sitting down next to me, Lord Zhai got up and pinched her neck for half a quarter of an hour, humming while pinching her. That look, it's really ......" The vulgar words are not easy to say, after all, it is the old lady of idols.

After a pause, he continued, "When the old lady left, she also rewarded me with a purse containing five cents. After that, Lord Zhai continued to solve my doubts as if nothing had happened. Hey, he's not easy ......."

Xiao Zhengtai was very entangled, not only did she feel that Mrs. Zhai was vulgar and did not talk about women's morality, but she couldn't say that it was wrong for idols to indulge her mother so much. The son is not ugly, and the dog is not poor.

Before he finished speaking, he ran to the side in a daze. It was Wan Dazhong who urged him to rest quickly, and he would get up early when he returned to his hometown tomorrow.

Zhai Shu's wife is an alternative master, she is widowed and pulls her son up, and tightens his pants to let him study. The son was also angry, and he was ordered to become an official, and he became bigger and bigger, until he was the third grade.

The old lady is proud, relying on her age, and often brushes up on her sense of zài in front of guests, so that people can see how blessed she is and how filial her son is. She doesn't do anything treacherous, but she is vulgar, casual, stingy, and uninformed, and often does things that make people laugh.

Zhai Shu also knew that his wife was a joke, and tried to change her. But as soon as he said it, his wife snorted and cried, counting her own difficulties. Zhai Shu couldn't, and had to let her.

He didn't like his wife, who was eight years older than him, but he didn't like other men who took concubines in the outer room, and he didn't even ask for his wife to offer him a concubine. The two of them absolutely respect each other like guests, and even the most primitive nature is suppressed.

Zhai Shu is a good person in everyone's mouth, and even political enemies can't find a stain on his life. He attaches great importance to his so-called image, and wants to be a good official or a good person with high character and strict self-discipline, which is why he lives so tired.

In fact, it is too difficult and tiring to want to be a good person that everyone says is good. This is true in every era. (To be continued.) )
