Wu Lixia thought for a while and said: "When you say this, I think of it, my father is the second, my uncle's cousin is very good, my sister-in-law Shui's mother's family is the one who runs a grocery store, people are good, when I was in my mother's house, my sister-in-law Yan was not good to me, and the lobby sister-in-law often helped me. She also has many children in her family, and her life is difficult, so she guards dozens of acres of fields outside the city and lives very tightly. Why don't I go and talk to her, and ask them and their husband to help me take care of the storefront? ”

Chen Wenhui said: "This is very good, if the master's sister-in-law is capable, this happy shop, the woman is actually better, if the husband and wife do better, it's a big deal to give two monthly money for the shopkeeper." ”

Nuan Yu on the side listened and said: "Girl, if the master's cousin's family is in charge of the shop, if they steal and play tricks, hide the silver, and sell it for three taels, and tell you that it is one tael, so not to mention making money, but also losing money?" ”

Wu Lixia said with a blank face: "Just talk a lot, that is my cousin and sister-in-law." ”

Nuan Yu pouted and said: "Master, don't talk about your cousin and sister-in-law, how many times have you kissed your sister-in-law and hurt you, I don't know, every time we go home, she cries in a different way, and asks you to want to go east and west, how many things have you pasted to her in the past two years." ”

Wu Lixia wanted to refute and think about it, this is also the truth, so she hesitated again.

Chen Wenhui said: "This is easy, I asked Master Yuan to recommend the account room in his clan to a wedding shop for you, specializing in managing the silver accounts, and the master's cousin and sister-in-law are only in charge of the business, regardless of the money, isn't this good?" ”

Wu Lixia smiled when she heard this: "En." That's a good idea, so be it. The Yuan family has a good reputation. I can trust it. ”

The two of them discussed, Chen Wenhui asked Qiu Bi to take out a pen and paper, list the plan, write it and go to Bai's upper room together, and tell Bai's to listen, Bai is very approve, and said to Wu Lixia: "Master Wu." You've been here for a year or two, you've been so good to us Hui'er, we're guests and hosts, and I've thought about it when I'm idle, it's not a way for you to be so alone, it's best to save some money in your hands, and then you don't want to leave the family anymore. Otherwise, adopt a righteous son, and you will have to rely on it when you are old. ”

Wu Lixia blushed and said: "How can I say this in front of the child's wife, I won't leave another family, it's good to be able to adopt a righteous son, let's see it later." ”

Bai Shi smiled and said, "Yes, I'll talk about these later, the important thing is to save some money in my hand first." You just go and open a shop. When the time comes, I'll give you publicity in the lady circle. Although we don't use these ordinary things, but the maids around us get married, and we also need them, and we will buy them from you when the time comes, so you can do it quickly, if the silver is just looking for me. ”

Chen Wenhui laughed: "Where can I use my mother, I look at these, rent shops, decorate, and invite people." I can't use three hundred taels of silver to order, but the master has four hundred taels, besides, if it's not enough, I will give the master money first, and the disciple will serve him. ”

Bai said: "Hui'er is really filial to her master. ”

Wu Lixia smiled happily.

A few days later, Wu Lixia went home and talked to her cousin and sister-in-law. Before my cousin could say anything, my sister-in-law agreed first, saying, "Sister, this is a good idea, and now there are more people doing business in Deqing City." Everyone's life is better, and there are more people who are willing to give their daughters a dowry, open a wedding shop, you can buy everything, save trouble and worry, and the business must be good. ”

Wu Lixia's cousin named Wu Dalin thought for a while and said, "My sister can rest assured that she will hand over these to our husband and wife, and we will definitely do a good job for you." It's just that you just have to give a share of the shopkeeper's money, and your sister-in-law should help, where can there be two shopkeepers? ”

Shui also said: "Yes, sister, we are grateful if you have a good thing to think about your lobby brother, where can I still pay my salary, where can I be a woman who can open the salary of the shopkeeper?" ”

Nuan Yu on the side couldn't help but nodded, thinking to herself, this master's cousin and sister-in-law's character is really good, at least much better than Yan's.

Wu Lixia said: "Needless to say, you just need to help me manage the shop with all your heart, in addition, there is also an account room, which is from the Yuan family, recommended to me by the Chen Mansion, he is in charge of the money and accounts, you are the internal and external shopkeepers, the man comes, the lobby brother comes forward, if the woman's family comes to the shop, the cousin-in-law will come forward." And please, cousin help me take care of the two guys. Also, I want my cousin to help me find a good shop in a good area. ”

The Shui clan still wanted to excuse himself, but Wu Dalin simply said: "Okay, since my sister has made up her mind, let's do it." It's just that I don't think I and your cousin-in-law's wages will be given to us first, but we will leave it first, and then you will send it to us when the shop really makes money. ”

Wu Lixia also wanted to say, looking at her cousin Yan Sù's face, she didn't mention it, and instead said: "It's all up to you, then please ask my brother to rent a shop for me first, hire someone, I have four hundred taels of silver here, you look at it first." ”

After speaking, he handed over four silver bills of one hundred taels, all of which were issued by the bank, and Wu Lixia prepared them a few days ago.

Wu Dalin hesitated for a moment when he saw that his cousin had sold so much money, then took it and said, "My sister trusts me, we will definitely do it for you, but I don't think I need so much money." ”

Wu Lixia said: "It's okay, you take it first, you have to rent a shop, you have to decorate, you have to order, if the money can't be used up, you will return it to me." ”

Wu Dalin thought about it too, so he put away the silver ticket.

Then they discussed the specific business methods, which street is good for the shop to rent, and after talking for two hours, Wu Lixia saw that it was getting dark, and hurriedly said goodbye and returned to Chen's house. Shui must stay for dinner, Wu Lixia said: "Sister-in-law, I still have to go back to the house to watch the girl, so I won't eat at your place, another day." ”

When Shui heard this, he was too busy to stay, and watched Wu Lixia make a car and leave.

When Wu Lixia returned to the house, Chen Wenhui was already very excited and asked, "How is it, master, has it been finalized?" ”

Before Wu Lixia could speak, Nuan Yu had already spoken out one by one. Chen Wenhui's nurse next to her, Mother Zheng, said with a straight face: "Nuan Yu, the girl asked the master, you spoke first, your mouth is so fast, there are no rules at all, what does it look like?" It seems that discipline is needed. ”

Nuan Yu was startled, and Wu Lixia hurriedly said: "Mom, don't get in the way, I'm stupid, I don't learn well, she says it very well, so that the girl can understand and help me come up with ideas." ”

Mother Zheng smiled and said, "Master, you are used to Nuan Yu, okay, Nuan Yu, you can't do this next time, this time I will bypass you." ”

Nuan Yu hurriedly agreed. Chen Wenhui said: "Master, according to this, your cousin and sister-in-law are really sincere, it just so happens that Master Yuan Mao has also found the account room for you, it is one of his cousins, named Yuan Qin, who is said to be honest and reliable." Tomorrow you can work hard to bring people to your cousin to see, and they will do the rest. ”

Wu Lixia nodded.

The next day, Wu Lixia took Yuan Qin to meet Wu Dalin, introduced Wu Lixia and returned to Chen's mansion. Wu Dalin and Yuan Qin looked for a shop together, and after several looks, they finally settled on a shop near the street that sold rouge gouache, paid the rent, and began to decorate.

Because the shop placed an order to Cuijin downstairs when it was decorated, so, as soon as the decoration was completed, the shop was hung with a dazzling array of products. There are turbans with magpie and plum patterns, pillows with mandarin ducks playing in the water, quilts with hundreds of pictures, beautiful and auspicious wedding dresses, as well as all kinds of red shoes, and various auspicious chairs, door curtains, curtains, cushions and so on.

On the day of the opening, Bai deliberately took them to the wedding shop, and a few ladies bought a whole set of things for the maids who were ready to get married, which was a good start.

With the publicity of these ladies, the reputation of the shop soon spread, and the business flourished.

Wu Lixia is very happy, but the happiest thing is that her niece's marriage a month ago was very successful. There are more people who come to congratulate the Wu family than expected, basically the rich officials in half of Deqing City have come, and the rich families and officials in Ancheng and other five counties have also come, so the Wu family's congratulatory gifts have been softened, so that in the marriage of the big girl, there are more jewelry. In the end, the eldest girl's dowry made thirty-six units, and the Wu family was very dignified.

Of course, it is said that the Jian family is very uneasy, this daughter-in-law has too many dowries, can they accept it from their small family? Later, I thought about it again, now the Wu family is an official family, and it is an official from the seventh grade, and it is almost the same as the county order, these dowries are also normal, so I accepted it, and the mother-in-law of the eldest girl is the most happy, and she is very good to her daughter-in-law, just like her daughter-in-law.

Wu Lixia watched her favorite niece doing well, and she also let go of a concern.

But Yan was very angry, Yan saw so many greeting guests, all the gifts were managed by his mother-in-law, Yan's heart was like a cat scratched, but Wu Dashan had already said that Yan was not allowed to take care of the house, Yan could only see that the silver could not be obtained, and his teeth of hatred were itching.

Later, when his daughter got married, Yan was no longer sick, and came to see his daughter's dowry, but he didn't expect that in such a short period of time, Wu Dashan actually prepared thirty-six dowries for his daughter, so Yan was stunned, and he didn't care about entertaining guests, so he went directly to the warehouse, and saw that the warehouse that had been slowly used to be half empty, Yan's tears flowed out.

The depressed Yan came out of the treasury, and carefully looked at his daughter's dowry, only to find that those ladies came and bought a lot of jewelry for their daughter, so many gold and silver jewelry dazzling Yan's eyes, Yan wanted to leave some, but these have been packed in boxes, on the list, Yan can't help but regret, should not be angry and pretend to be sick, if you come over early, you can still leave something, now it's too late to say anything.
