Xufu.

In the evening, Xu Er came back drunk and smoky. His face was also a little dark.

Mrs. Xu Er hurriedly asked her subordinates to make sobering tea, and asked her to help Xu Er change his clothes: "What's going on these days?" I always drink like this. ”

"It's the eldest brother who is here, let me accompany him to invite a few fathers-in-law from the city, these people, in addition to real money, only have wine in their eyes, is it possible to take them to the flower street?" Xu Er said a little angrily.

"Big brother too, he is very protective of the affairs of the city boss, we can't interfere if we want to, since this is the case, what is he pulling you to accompany the wine to do in such a matter?" Second Lady Xu stared.

"He's the eldest brother, let me go I can not go, besides, this year's new emperor ascended the throne, all the expenses are simple, all the applications in the palace have been cut down, this piece, the profit will not be much, it is this year's silk industry, I am afraid it is difficult to do, and somehow, the officials of the weaving house have moved a few during this time, and they have been transferred to other places as idle errands, I am afraid that there is a problem here. Therefore, this year's silk industry is also untouchable, so calculated, this year is afraid that there will be less income. I'm also trying to find some other ways to make money from the city's side. I heard that the eldest brother said that the city boss has a new father-in-law in charge, surnamed Yan, and has a daughter who was adopted from his Yan clan, and her appearance is not bad, and she is the same age as our Saburo, so you can inquire about it...... didn't expect that the surname Yan was actually a person who didn't eat oil and salt, and he was ashamed to say that he wanted his daughter to recruit a son-in-law......" Xu Erdao. His eyes flashed fiercely, and he really didn't know how to lift this surname.

"Forget it, the daughter of a eunuch, we are not rare. Besides. I think the eldest brother is also uneasy and kind. You don't know that my father is most disgusted with these tax supervisors, it's okay not to marry, but if you really want to marry and make your father unhappy, wouldn't it be like picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons. Second Mrs. Xu saw that her father-in-law was deflated, so she persuaded her, and said in her heart, the daughter of the eunuch, she really didn't look down on it.

But. Speaking of San Lang, she remembered today's words of Xuan Niangzi, so she said: "We can't plug in the city boss, so let the eldest brother toss, I don't believe it, can he really give us a little bit of the money he earns?" As for Saburo's side, I have a good candidate, and it is also a good way to make money. Second Mrs. Xu said

"Oh, who's who? What's the way? Xu Er asked curiously. He has no clue here, and his wife sits at home every day. Is there a way?

So, Second Mrs. Xu told the gossip that Xuan Niangzi said about Li Zhenniang today.

"This Li Zhenniang you are talking about is the enshrinement of the princess's mansion. The one who helped the concubine make birthday ink some time ago? Xu Er listened to his wife's words, and confirmed that he didn't inquire much about these women's circles on weekdays.

However, at the beginning, he had heard about the situation when he was competing for Birthday Mo, not to mention, now because of Concubine Shen's Birthday Mo, Li Mo is also becoming famous in the capital.

"Exactly, my mother-in-law also got the concubine's reward." Second Mrs. Xu said. When it came to the concubine's birthday, Mo couldn't help but hate.

A few days ago, when she went back to Songjiang, her sister-in-law showed her two ingots of ink, saying that her mother-in-law gave her family that was preparing to participate in the township test this year.

Listening to his wife's words, Xu Er couldn't help but analyze Li Mo's prospects, although Gongmo is Tian Mo now, but everyone knows that Tian Mo inherited Luo Mo's set, and his stamina may not be long, but this Li Mo got up quietly.

"Well, Li Mo's future exhibition is good, but the industries in Huizhou are very closed family-style, and it is difficult for outsiders to interfere. Xu Er frowned.

"Not really, Li Mo's girl Li Zhenniang, I heard Han Li say last time that she has a 10% stake in Li Mo, which is the dowry given to her by the old lady of the Li family, when she first came last year, Han Li and I also took her out to walk around, wanting to find a good family for her, as long as I can marry her, wouldn't I be able to intervene." Second Mrs. Xu said.

"Do you want San Lang to marry this Li Zhenniang? It's a good idea, you can do it. Xu Er was a little dizzy, and he didn't bother to care about these things, these things have always been handled by Mrs. Xu.

"Well, I know in my heart, the Han Li family has been a lot stranger to me in the past year, and I don't know the situation on the Li family's side, so I have to inquire about this matter first, let the news go out first, and let the Li family take the initiative to find us, so that we can put forward the conditions." Second Mrs. Xu said.

As for this family business, whether there will be a problem with the Li family, Second Mrs. Xu doesn't have to think about it at all, their Xu family has a fancy to Li Zhenniang, it was the high incense she burned in her previous life, this is because this Li girl still has the identity of the princess's mansion, otherwise, don't think about it.

"Uh-huh, that's it." Xu Er was crooked on the bed, and Mrs. Xu smelled his wine, so she beckoned to call a maid to help him freshen up and go to bed.

And she was thinking about the matter with the Li family in her heart.

…………

The weather at the end of April was already quite hot, and as soon as the matter of the opening of the sea was disturbed, the air seemed to be even hotter, and everyone seemed to smell of fire.

In the afternoon, the workers of the ink mill took a lunch break, and now the ink making here in Li's Ink Village is the end of spring, and some workers have begun to take turns to rest. Of course, the cigarette lighter workshop does not rest, this is for the storage of bituminous coal for ink making in the autumn.

And the flowers in the ink village took a few guys to fight flies, and on a hot day, no one came out to buy ink at this time.

The three members of the Li family sat in the backyard to enjoy the shade and chatter. Of course, the subordinates are not idle, Zhen Niang also learned to rub the lamp grass with her father, and in the summer the lamp grass is also particular, the lamp grass lit on weekdays is made of twelve grasses, and in the summer, the wick has to be reduced by two, and ten are rubbed into it.

"I don't think it's any better to open the sea ban, but the price is rising rapidly, even with rice and noodles, even the cloth has also risen, I went to Yao's house next door today to pull a piece of fabric to make a summer shirt for your father, which is more than 10% more expensive than in the past." Zhao helped the father and daughter choose the same thickness of the lamp grass on the side.

"Mother, don't get cheap and sell well, this time because of the ban on the sea, our family has made a lot of money, not to mention my side, it's the eldest brother, you wait for the eldest brother to come, you ask the eldest brother again, it will definitely make you dizzy." Zhen Niang joked about her mother. The eldest brother is also about to send tung oil over at this time.

However, it is also a fact that prices have risen due to the ban on the sea, and this is still the beginning, and with the ban for a long time, a large amount of silver will flow into China, which will have a greater impact on prices and the value of silver.

"What's the dizziness, your mother is so ignorant?" Zhao slapped Zhenniang angrily.

was talking here, but I heard the voice of Hua'er smiling and greeting from the store: "Auntie is here......"

The aunt in her mouth is naturally Han Li's. Zhao and Zhenniang hurriedly greeted them.

"Hello auntie." Zhenniang said hello.

"Okay, I'll talk to your mother about something." The expression on Han Li's face was a little excited, but there was also a little weirdness.

Then he pulled Zhao into the house, and the two closed the door and chattered.

Zhenniang was a little strange, I don't know what the eldest aunt talked about with her mother, but she didn't take it to heart, and took care of herself and rubbed the lamp grass again.

"What are you talking about, the Xu family has taken a fancy to Zhenniang?" In the room, Zhao stood up from the spring bench and shouted in disbelief. She has always been proud of her daughter's ability, but what is the Xu Mansion, the disciple of the Prime Minister's Mansion! How could they have climbed up as a merchant?

Although, people have the heart to climb high, but if it is too high, it will be empty, and sometimes it is not necessarily a good thing to smash pies in the sky.

"I'm also strange, but really, yesterday, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Xu Er family and my eldest daughter-in-law inquired about Zhenniang, and the tone revealed was clearly that I fell in love with Zhenniang. However, now should be the stage of inquiry, otherwise, this matter should at least be discussed with Second Mrs. Xu and me personally. Han Li said again. Obviously, the Xu family's side has not really been decided.

"That's good, come to think of it, according to Zhenniang's conditions, the Xu family will never take a fancy to it." Hearing what the Han family said, the Zhao family said, although she is the daughter of a hunter, she still has self-knowledge, and the Xu family will never look down on Zhen Niang. And what pot with what lid, the Xu family, her family can't climb it.

"But what if they fall in love? To marry or not to marry, you must also be prepared. Han Li said, originally, according to her thoughts, it was natural that Zhen Niang could marry into the Xu family, but after the last time she went back to the Xu family, she also saw the Xu family clearly, so she was a little unsure in her heart.

"The old lady has already said that Zhenniang's marriage is up to her." At this time, Zhao said again, she promised the old lady to make the decision on this matter, but now she doesn't say it alone.

"In that case, you should quickly write to the old lady and let the old lady be prepared." Han Li said.

"Hmm." Zhao nodded, she was also a little distracted by this matter for a while.

It stands to reason that people like the Xu family can't be found with lanterns, at the beginning, her Zhenniang asked the Tian family to quit her family, so that many people in Huizhou saw the joke, and now, if Zhenniang really married into the Xu family, it would be a few slaps in the face to the Tian family. This is also a very relieving thing.

But this marriage match is not used to fight for righteousness, in short, it is faint, the Zhao family just thinks that the Xu family is inappropriate, not to mention anything else, just the matter of the eldest aunt at the beginning, if it wasn't for Zhen Niang's action, it is possible for the aunt's family to go bankrupt. From this point of view, she feels that the Xu family is not a good match.
