Chapter Seventy-Eight: Mrs. Guan

"The third sister has good skills, I know this."

Xue Manjin shook his head with a wry smile: "I'm not afraid that I won't be able to make money, but I'm afraid of making too much." ”

"It's really unusual." Yun Yao's round apricot eyes stared, with a misty look.

This provoked Qi Jing very funny, and his heart was even softer, if Xue Manjin wasn't still here, maybe he would have taken Yun Yao into his arms and rubbed it at this time.

"Although the Xue family has some surplus wealth, but this money is nothing compared to those really big households, not to mention the Shinong industry and commerce, the status of businessmen is the lowest, but anyone who is an official can kill us, we can't do it in a hurry, and we make money with such fanfare, don't die." Xue Manjin's appearance was even more bitter.

Qi Jing smiled and said to Yun Yao: "What the second brother-in-law said is true, if you just make a shop that sells embroidery, you won't make much money, but if you sell gold and silver jewelry together with fat powder as you said, if the benefits are too great, I'm afraid that the shop will change hands in a few days, if it doesn't work, maybe the second brother-in-law will have to ruin his family." ”

Yun Yao was even more puzzled: "Can't you do business in Zhengdaguang, what is the reason?" ”

Although there are many unfairness in the interstellar era, the government encourages the people to start their own businesses and pays attention to the protection of personal private property, so Yun Yao really doesn't understand the pain of the common people in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Qi Jing still didn't understand when he saw her, and he smiled bitterly: "This is the way of the world today, and there is no way to do it." If I can go to high school in the future, but if I can get into the Jinshi, we also have some confidence, even those families don't dare to suppress it, but now I am just a little talent, and I can only do nothing. ”

Yun Yao listened to Qi Jing and Xue Manjin slowly explain to her, and finally understood many basic rules in this world, that is, since ancient times, officials have protected each other, and oppressed the people from above, not only the officials and gentry who take what they want from the people. Even the rich slaves of the family dared to do things to rob the people's wealth. It can be said that the common people lived at the lowest level of society, with rich merchants at the top, and scholars at the top. Officials. Family, royalty. is pressed down layer by layer, and the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty don't know how much pressure they are carrying.

After hearing this, Yun Yao also shook her head: "It's strange that the Dao Dynasty changes so frequently. It turns out that the social system is so unreasonable. ”

"Just say it at home, don't say it when you go out." Qi Jing saw that Yun Yao was bold and dared to say anything, so he hurriedly instructed.

Yun Yao sighed: "Forget it, I can't change it if it's reasonable or unreasonable anyway, so I can only bear it, then my brother-in-law will open an embroidery shop first, and after Xianggong High School, my brother-in-law will get a shop that sells women's business, and I will keep the flowing oil that you can make rich." ”

Xue Manjin laughed dryly: "Yes, yes, but I still have a lot of support from the third sister." ”

"That's for sure." Yun Yao smiled very proudly, asked Xue Manjin to wait for a while, turned around and went to the house to take out the four gentlemen pictures she had just made.

She took it and asked Qi Jing to help unfold it, and when the picture of Hanmei was displayed in front of Xue Manjin, Xue Manjin thought that he had some knowledge, but he was still startled.

That's really it...... This embroidery is so amazing, the plum blossoms on the silk cloth almost want to break out of the cloth, as if, as if there is really a piece of snow and red plum in front of you.

"This ......" Xue Manjin sat down on the chair: "The third sister's skills are really amazing, this embroidery is really ...... I've got to think about how I can sell it for a good price. ”

Yun Yao was very relieved about Xue Manjin's business mind, and she smiled: "Brother-in-law, just take it and sell it, I won't blame you for selling it well." ”

"It won't work." Xue Manjin hurriedly waved his hand: "No, this embroidery is so good, I have never seen a better embroidery than the third sister in the Manda Zhou Dynasty, I ...... It's better to put it here at the third sister first, and when my shop is ready, take a picture and hang it up, if there is one that can afford it, I will come to find the third sister again. ”

"Okay." Yun Yao agreed coolly: "Brother-in-law, let's take this Hanmei map first, I'll save the rest first, I'll do more these days when I have nothing to do, let's not hang it all out at once, sell it slowly to sell it for a good price." ”

Xue Manjin smiled and clapped his hands: "It's exactly what I want, that's it." ”

Yun Yao saw that the matter was settled, so she hurriedly asked Peony to serve the dishes and wine, and she went to the kitchen to take a look in person, and saw that Sister-in-law Liu made a lot of dishes, including several meat dishes, it can be said that the chicken, duck and fish are all ready, so she helped bring two dishes into the house and set them up, and drank a cup with Xue Manjin before going back to the back room.

Outside, Qi Jing and Xue Manjin were drinking, the little girl Peony brought the food over and set it up for Yun Yao, Yun Yao ate a piece of chicken, ate a few other vegetables and drank some soup to be full, and the rest of the dishes were scattered to the two girls to eat.

Xue Manjin stayed at Qi's house until the evening, and when he went back to bed, he fell asleep, and Yun Zhen hurriedly came over to take off his coat and shoes and socks.

Xue Manjin woke up, sat up violently and glanced at Yun Zhen in a daze: "Zhen'er, your third brother-in-law is not simple." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Manjin lay down again, and Yun Zhen, who was upside down, smiled a little bitterly, and stretched out a sharp green jade finger to his forehead: "You, tell me what is good about you." ”

Waiting for Xue Manjin to wake up, it was past the time of dinner, Yun Zhen asked the kitchen to prepare the meal and keep it hot, seeing that Xue Manjin woke up, he quickly asked someone to set the meal, and said with a smile while setting the table: "As soon as I go out, I pour yellow soup, and I get drunk and smoked every time, I used to be unable to do business and socialize, but now it's good, go to my sister-in-law's house and fill back the horse urine, make your own personnel not wake up, don't call my sister-in-law and brother-in-law laugh at you." ”

Xue Manjin wasn't annoyed, he just smiled, pulled Yun Zhen to sit at the table and picked up the bowl to drink, and said while eating: "Aren't I happy, you also know that once I'm happy, I'm not sure." ”

Yun Zhen glanced at him: "My sister is good." ”

"Yes, your brother-in-law is even better, except for the fact that he is a little shabby, the rest is good." Xue Manjin smiled and put a piece of cucumber in his mouth: "These three brothers-in-law are talented in reading and very good at writing, but they are not only good at writing, but also sleek and knowledgeable, not like they came out of the countryside at all, but like the sons and brothers who have worked hard to cultivate those families in Chang'an City." ”

Xue Manjin praised Qi Jing vigorously with a thumbs up, and Yun Zhen listened with honor: "That's natural, you don't look at how high my sister's vision is, if it's not good, can she see it?" ”

Xue Manjin thought about it, but he didn't say anything, after eating a few bites of food, he discussed with Yun Zhen to open the embroidery shop as much as possible, and showed Yun Zhen the Hanmei map he took from Yun Yao.

Let's just say that Yun Yao has not felt comfortable for several days.

She originally planned to discuss it with Xue Manjin, she was tired of silk and jewelry, Xue Manjin operated, and did a good job, not only to open up a fortune for her family, but also to make the Xue family make a fortune, but, after listening to Qi Jing and Xue Manjin's words, Yun Yao also knew that it would not work, so it was too eye-catching, and it was better to be safe if she didn't recruit some cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods.

Her lofty ambitions and ambitions could not be realized, and many profitable businesses could not be moved, which was really aggrieved, and she was listless for several days.

Qi Jing also saw it, comforted Yun Yao well, and privately made up his mind to study hard, high school jinshi, no matter how he couldn't make his little daughter-in-law feel uncomfortable anymore.

After a few days, Yun Yao wanted to open it herself, so she no longer mentioned the matter of making heads, but just went into the house every day to do embroidery, and within a few days, she did half a box of embroidery work alone, including handkerchiefs, tents, pillowcases, quilts, as well as kang screens, screens, and finely made clothes, etc.

Qi Jing once looked at Yun Yao's embroidery and couldn't believe that Yun Yao had done so much in just a few days, not to mention anything else, just a kang screen, a good embroidery girl would have to do it for a month or two, but Yun Yao ...... That's a little faster.

Qi Jing was afraid that Yun Yao would be tired from doing embroidery work all the time, so he persuaded Yun Yao to listen to it, and then he cleaned up the embroidery work and went to the backyard every day to clean up the vegetable garden, or prune flowers and trees in the front yard.

On this day, Yun Yao had just bought a pot of orchids and was fiddling with them, when she saw Peony hurriedly coming over and whispering to Yun Yao: "Madam, there is a mother-in-law sent by the prefect who has just taken office outside, saying that she came to see Mrs. on the order of her wife." ”

"The prefect who just took office?" Yun Yao twisted her eyebrows and thought about it, no matter how she thought about it, she couldn't understand how the wife of the prefect would call someone to visit.

She put down the work in her hand and went to the study to find Qi Jing, and when she said this, Qi Jing smiled: "Don't you say that I forgot, the prefect surnamed Guan who took office is the third master of the Guan family in Chang'an, in the early years, Guan Sanye took Mrs. Guan back to his hometown, and when he passed by us, Mrs. Guan was born prematurely, it was raining at the time, and there was no place to live, so she borrowed to live in our house, and her mother also helped her deliver the baby, and then Guan Sanye read this friendship, and he will send people to send gifts every year, and our family will also bring some local products to the Guan family by the way, There is some friendship between the back and forth. ”

After listening to Qi Jing's words, Yun Yao understood, thinking that this Guan family was a grateful person, and she had a good impression of the Guan family: "Then I'll go and meet the people of his family." ”

"Go ahead." Qi Jing smiled: "Maybe Mrs. Guan San knows that I have become a relative, and she wants to see what my daughter-in-law looks like, you just have to let go of your courage to meet, if that mother-in-law invites you to go to Guan's house as a guest, you should come down, after all, there is that kind of affection, and she will not embarrass you."
