Chapter 80: The Development of the Ink Workshop

Knowing that the eldest aunt was going to jump into a deep pit, Zhenniang naturally wanted to persuade her.

It's just that then again, judging from the aunt's performance towards the people in the eighth room, her aunt may not necessarily listen to her, and after all, it will take a few years for the Xu family's affairs to break out

In a few years' time, there is not much need to care about it early.

It is necessary to wait and see what happens, and it is necessary to deal with it, and it is not necessary to have a cup of bow and snake shadow.

Thinking of this, Zhenniang put this matter down for the time being.

At night, Zhenniang thought that she would not be able to sleep, but she didn't think that she would fall into a deep sleep as soon as she fell into bed, because since she took over the ink workshop, although things have been done well, but the pressure is really not small.

Now the seventh grandmother is fine, the seven grandmothers are the masters of the free ink workshop, and the grandfather has now returned to the ink workshop, and they have to bear the big things, she only needs to make ink to make money.

The so-called nothing is like this, but it is a good night's sleep. When Zhenniang woke up in the morning, it was bright outside.

"Didn't you sleep until noon?" Zhenniang got up muttering, and there was no one in the outside world. But I could hear the sound of bangzi on Shui Bo's side.

"The sound of hot water?" It should be quite early, why is it so bright.

Zhen Niang thought about it, and when she went out, she found that the snow outside the house was thick, and the brightness of the sky was reflected by the snow.

Du Shi was burning the brazier in the yard, while Xi Ge'er was helping to fan the fire, if the fire was not fanned, the smoke could choke people to death. Zhenniang washed up, jumped a few times, moved her body, and walked into the snow, at the head of the wall. After brushing off the top layer of crushed snow, I grabbed a handful of snow from the middle. Pinch it into a ball and put it to your mouth and nibble on it. It's the same as eating ice in the summer.

"Second sister, you eat snow!" On the other hand, Brother Xi shouted that he had done this, and Zuihou was slapped by Zhao.

"It's okay, this is Laxue, eating it can kill the worms in the stomach." Zhen Niang said, of course, the insecticide in her mouth is sterilization, as for the scientific basis. Didn't you hear about Ruixue Zhaofeng Year, Laxue has the effect of sterilization and insecticidal on the land, and it is similar to people, of course, this is actually the concept of Li Zhen's grandfather before the crossing, and every year on a snowy day, her grandfather will grab a handful to eat.

Now that Zhenniang has done it, she misses her grandfather even more. I can't help but look up at the sky, grandpa. You can rest assured, this time, Li Mo will be passed on completely.

"Zhenniang, what's wrong?" On the one hand, Du Shi looked at Zhen Niang's expression differently. He asked.

"It's nothing, my eyes are gray." Zhenniang grinned and turned her face sideways. Pick up a broom and sweep up the snow.

While Brother Xi heard Zhenniang say this, he also grabbed a handful and stuffed it into his mouth. As a result, Zhao happened to come over. Another slap on the back of his head: "You starved ghost reincarnated." ”

"The second sister also ate it." Xi Ge'er was unwilling to complain.

"Where, I don't see it. You don't use your second sister as a shield. Zhao looked at Zhenniang who was sweeping the snow, and glared at Brother Xi angrily.

Xi Ge'er had a bitter face, he died unjustly.

While Du Shi pursed his lips and smiled. As the tung oil incident gradually came to an end, Du's matter was in the past, and the family couldn't live awkwardly.

After breakfast, Zhenniang helped her grandfather to go to the ink workshop.

Today, the old shopkeeper Li is wearing a new cotton robe, his hair is neatly combed, and he is wearing a fur hat. In his hand, he was holding a sandalwood cane, which Zhenniang bought for him some time ago.

Returning to Mofang, today is also an extraordinary day for Mr. Li's shopkeeper.

And this outfit looks refreshed.

After a while, the grandfather and grandson entered the ink workshop.

Some of the old people in the ink shop were also quite excited when they saw the old shopkeeper Li, and many of them were brought out by the old shopkeeper Li back then.

Therefore, all the way over, everyone greeted Mr. Li's shopkeeper.

Subsequently, the Chen family put the money from Huiyuan Qian Zhuang into the account of the ink workshop, so that the rumors of the previous days were dispersed.

Then several stewards were recruited, and the seventh grandmother announced the return of the shares that originally belonged to the Li family's eight rooms, and then recorded the share given to Zhen Niang on the eight rooms, so that the eight rooms accounted for three percent, and the old shopkeeper Li once again became the big shopkeeper of the ink shop.

And so, you're all set.

Three days later, the Li family moved to the eighth room. The people in the city gate helped to move over with all their strength.

The house on the side of the ancestral house is in the middle of the seven rooms and the nine rooms, and the door of the house faces a side street of Sibao Street, called Qingshui Lane, and Qingshui Lane is named because there is an old well in this alley, and the water in the well is clear no matter how much rain falls.

The eight-room house is a common house in Huizhou, with a horse-head wall, and a brick in the middle of the door has a mention word, cuidi or something.

As soon as you enter the door, the east and west wings on both sides of the hall, enter from the side door of the hall, it is the patio, the patio is opposite, it is an open hall, generally used to entertain guests, the front of the hall, there are eight immortal tables, Taishi chairs, and the front wall is hung with the portrait of the ancestors.

Behind the hall is the back hall, the main room, and the study.

The back hall has a wooden staircase going upstairs, and the upper floor is the attic. Ordinary unmarried daughters live in the attics upstairs, so these lofts are commonly referred to as boudoirs.

And then there is the backyard, seven rooms, eight rooms, nine rooms, several backyards have courtyard doors to communicate, which is connected.

When everything was cleaned up, Zhao took Zheng's and Du's people to arrange a few tables and invited the neighbors of Chengmen Cave to gather, which can be regarded as thanking the people of Chengmen Cave for their help over the years.

Therefore, the one that a few tables of people eat is called a cheerful. Some little guys even inquired about when the Li family would move again, and it was not good to make some adults happy.

Mr. Li was in high spirits, and personally wrote a few pairs of team links and pasted them on the door, which was regarded as a housewarming.

Zhen Niang also wrote a pair of funny: "The spring flowers are full of red, and the rain is green and the spring trees are green." ”

This is actually a pair of backward reading couplets, read backwards and backwards, Zhen Niang has some bad taste, and feels that the crossing always has to borrow a handful. It's a pity that there is no serious literati in the family, and they don't care, but Zhenniang is bored, so she is ready to enter the back hall.

Then. Li Liujin from the concierge brought the aunt of the Li family in.

Li Liujin was originally a subordinate from the seventh room, and the Li family came from the eighth room. Li Liujin and his wife came over from the seventh room, mainly to help guard the door and attract guests.

"The eldest aunt is here. Sit down, I'll call my mother. Zhen Niang hurriedly stepped forward. In my heart, I was thinking about the eldest aunt's intention, the so-called three treasure halls for nothing, for a long time, the eldest aunt did not look down on their eight rooms.

"No, no, Zhenniang, you don't have to call your mother, I'll talk to you about something." Han Li grabbed Zhen Niang, who was about to call someone in the back hall, and hurriedly said.

"That auntie. What's the matter? As soon as Zhenniang heard that she was looking for herself, she couldn't help but have a stomach full of lawsuits, the biggest thing for the eldest aunt to go back to her parents' house this time was to borrow money to buy land, and what she had been staring at was that payment. Now that I suddenly found myself, it wouldn't be that my eldest aunt didn't borrow money from Seventh Grandmother and came here to fight her own idea.

After all, that business was done by himself, and in this regard, he has a certain right to speak, so it is difficult to do it. The eldest aunt wants to let herself help her talk? Zhenniang guessed.

Although it is not hit, it is not far away.

Hearing Zhenniang's question, Han Low lowered her voice slightly and said, "Zhenniang, my aunt wants to discuss with you." You can lend some money to your aunt first, and after next year's raw silk business, your aunt will pay you back. What do you think? ”

Zhenniang listened to her aunt's words. Instead of asking herself to help her speak to the Seventh Grandmother, she borrowed money directly. couldn't help but be happy: "Auntie, you think too highly of me, right?" In the past, I was in charge of the Ink Workshop. Now that the seventh grandmother is fine, it is naturally the seventh grandmother who is in charge. What's more, it's such a big sum of money, how can I do it? Auntie still don't joke. ”

"You girl, do you see my aunt running around early in the morning, as if she was joking? I've heard that after the Chinese New Year, your seventh grandmother plans to let you go to Nanjing, and that sum of money is to let you go to Nanjing to open Mozhuang. You have the right to do it, I thought, it's not a matter of a while for this ink village to open, it's better to lend me that money first, and pay it back at that time. Han Li said again.

Zhenniang heard her words, but she was a little stunned, the seventh grandmother planned to let her go to Nanjing to open Mozhuang?

Although Zhen Niang knew that if the Li family wanted to develop, it was inevitable to go out, and it was inevitable to go to Nanjing to open Mozhuang, but Zhen Niang didn't expect that the seventh grandmother would hand over this matter to herself.

"Why, why did the Seventh Uncle Niang let Zhenniang go to Nanjing? Zhenniang is a girl's family, and now she is doing excellent business in Huizhou, which is already eye-catching, and then she will go to Nanjing, will she still marry? Zhao was coming out of the back hall at this time, and when he heard Han Li's words, he shouted.

"What's the use of you yelling at me? I didn't ask Zhenniang to go to Nanjing. Han Li glared and said, she still wished that Zhenniang would not go to Nanjing, that money was idle, and her mother would have no excuse not to borrow.

Now my mother wants to open Mozhuang in Nanjing, but she sealed her words in one bite.

"Okay, what are you yelling about? Seventh sister-in-law told me and Grandpa Zhenniang about this, and we agreed. At this time, the Wu family also came out and said to the Zhao family.

"Mother-in-law, how can this be done, in that place in Nanjing, Zhenniang went alone, this person is not familiar with the place, and I don't feel at ease." Zhao said in a hurry.

"This is open Mozhuang, since it is impossible for Zhenniang to go alone, Mofang here has to choose some people to go with him, then again, is there still Jingming's room over there? How could there be no one to take care of. ”

Wu said, and then said earnestly: "Zhenniang's situation is different from ordinary girls, she still carries the name of the Ke woman, and she was divorced by the Tian family. You see it's been two years, except for the Tian family, which matchmaker has come to the door? If Zhenniang really wants to stay in Huizhou, I think the less hope of getting married. It's that place in Nanjing, the big weather, I don't believe it, our Zhenniang is like this, no housewife can take a fancy to it? Wu Shi was a little unconvinced.

It's weird for Zhenniang to listen to this from the side, it seems to be hating marriage.

At this time, Wu continued: "In addition, his grandfather said that no matter whether she marries or not, for Yu Zhenniang, she has ink skills and is a material for doing business, and it is a pity to bury it, so it is better to let her break through and make a career." Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, let's let go of heaven and earth for her. ”

When Zhen Niang listened, her heart was warm.

"The Tian family who suffered from the plague." Hearing what Wu said, Zhao couldn't help gritting his teeth and scolding the Tian family, but for Zhenniang's going to Nanjing, it can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence.

"Zhenniang, your seventh grandmother talked to her grandparents about this, and I wanted to ask you what you mean in two days, but now that I have said it, you can tell me what you mean." At this time, the shopkeeper Li also came out of the house.

"Naturally, I listened to Grandpa and Seventh Grandmother's arrangement." Zhen Niang said very simply. For her, it's a good path.

"Zhenniang, how about what I said?" On the side, Han Li saw that the people in the eighth room were talking about themselves, so he interjected and asked.

"Then auntie, what are you going to borrow that money for?" Seeing that the eldest aunt has to find a breakthrough here, although there is some knowledge that the aunt is buying the land, but the details are not clear, so ask first and then talk about it.

"You don't know, in recent years, the price of raw silk has been getting higher and higher year by year, Nanjing Weaving has the intention to guide Su Song Nanjing to change rice to mulberry, I just want to buy more fields, plant mulberry trees, and raise silkworms and silkworms by themselves, wouldn't it be better than harvesting silk flowers." Han Li said.

Zhen Niang heard Han Li's words, but her heart was shocked, she watched a TV series "Ming Dynasty 1566" in later generations, which began with the imperial court order, changing rice to mulberry, and this policy Zuihou evolved into crazy land annexation, and even in order to get more land, the officials did not hesitate to destroy the embankment and flood the fields, causing great public anger.

At that time, because of her interest in this TV, Zhen Niang also deliberately checked the real history, and it is said that the policy of changing rice to mulberry was made up, however, some commenting netizens also said that although this was made up, it was in line with the historical environment at the time.

Zhen Niang didn't expect that now when she heard her aunt say this, there was really something to change rice to mulberry, but judging from the meaning of her aunt's words, this should not be Chaoyan's decree, but the meaning of Nanjing Weaving Bureau.

It's just that if that's the case, it's even more troublesome. It's an exaggeration on TV, but in the land, there has always been the most shady. It's better not to stick it or not to stick it.

"Auntie, I think you still have to be cautious about buying land. Land is the foundation of the country, and the land issue has always been the most sensitive issue. The Xu family has a thick background, and even if something happens, we can resist it, but we are all merchants, to put it mildly, the court is going to open the knife, and we are the meat on the board. Be careful about this. Zhen Niang finally persuaded her.

On TV, the ending of Shen Yishi's businessman Zuihou is embarrassing.

Then he added: "Besides, auntie, you have smashed all the money on the land now, and next year the raw silk will be on the market, what money will the eldest aunt take to collect the raw silk?" In my opinion, it is better to put off the matter of buying land for a while and wait and see. ”

"It's not that I don't want to borrow, so I make excuses." As soon as Han Li heard Zhen Niang's words, his face fell, and he didn't say anything more, and turned around and left with an angry face.

Zhenniang shrugged, helpless.
