Chapter 164: Eating the Quartet (Twenty-ninth Update, Asking for Subscriptions, Asking for Monthly Passes!) )
Ning Xiu was really helpless.
It seems that urging marriage is the mainstream in any era.
It's just that in the Ming Dynasty, boys were fourteen or fifteen years old, and girls were thirteen or fourteen years old, and they had to face urging to marry, which was much more terrible than later generations.
Ning Xiu finally made sense of the dead ghost father and no longer urged marriage, and naturally he would not let the old lady force the marriage.
What's more, he had already promised Ling'er that he would marry her in a beautiful manner after becoming a sergeant, so naturally he would not let the old lady mess with the mandarin duck score at this time.
Sometimes he also thought about whether to tell his mother and father about the marriage contract with Ling'er. But if you think about it, you can't say it so early.
After all, the stakes are high, and no one knows what will happen until the last minute.
Ning Xiu didn't want the second elder to have a heart attack.
After a bit of talk with the old lady, Ning Xiu found an excuse and left.
He wants to have a good chat with Shichiro and Shiro.
During his absence, the restaurant business was watched by his father, but the business of the cement workshop and soap workshop was taken care of by Shiro and Shiro.
Although his family is now rich and not bad for money, he must not relax his control over the source of income.
The form of shopping malls is changing rapidly, and one carelessness may plunge the family into the abyss.
Shichiro and Juro now live in the same room.
It's not that Ning Xiu is stingy, it's that the relationship between the two brothers is too good, and they have to live together wherever they go, at home, and when they come to the second uncle.
Ning Xiu was helpless, so he had to order his subordinates to prepare the cleanest and most spacious wing room for the two brothers to live in.
Ning Xiu came to the outside of the room and knocked on the door, it was Shilang who came to open the door.
As soon as he saw Ning Xiu, Xiao Shilang immediately pounced excitedly.
"Third brother, third brother."
He was only in his early tens, and when he was the most clingy, he rubbed against Ning Xiu like a slug, so that Ning Xiu was not embarrassed.
"Ahem, Shiro, third brother, I haven't been home for a year, and you've been thinking like this for only a month?"
Facing Ning Xiu's joke, Xiao Shilang tilted his head and pouted, "Third brother, a month is not a short time." People say that if you don't see each other, it's like every other autumn. I won't see you for a month, and it should be a few autumns. ”
Ning Xiu was completely amused, he smiled and patted Shiro's shoulder and said, "This sentence is an exaggeration, and it is used between lovers and mentors. ”
Shiro clenched his little fists and argued: "In the days when the third brother is not there, I just feel that life is like a year, is it right to use this sentence?" ”
Seeing the little guy's quirky appearance, Ning Xiu shrugged helplessly: "You said yes, that's it." ”
"It's still the third brother who is good to me."
Shilang fell into Ning Xiu's arms
"Ahem, where is your seventh brother?"
Due to his age, Juro can only do some peripheral work at most, and most of the things in the cement workshop and soap workshop are still handled by Shichiro.
"Hmm, Seventh Brother, he's out."
Seeing Shilang's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Ning Xiu suddenly became curious: "What's the matter, did your seventh brother go out on a date?" ”
"On a date?"
Juro looked confused.
"Ahem, dating means that men and women meet together to fall in love. There is a poem as evidence, 'The willow tops on the moon, people about after dusk'. ”
"Ah, that's what it means, that seventh brother is really going on a date."
Ning Xiu was enlightened.
Qilang is very fond of Wang Qianhe's third daughter, Tofu Shih, and this person is the daughter-in-law of the fourth uncle, so it is naturally a happy ending.
It's just that the engagement is the engagement, and the two are not married after all.
If he doesn't get married for a day, Tofu Shih Tzu is not Ning Qilang's daughter-in-law, so naturally they can't see each other every day.
So the date between the two is actually counted as a tryst, if Wang Qianhe finds out, this little son-in-law may have to take a few sticks on his ass.
The ancients attached great importance to women's names to the point of outrageousness. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many arches of chastity.
Therefore, even if it is a couple who are already engaged, the woman can't show her head before marriage, imagining the scene where Qilang secretly saw his daughter-in-law Tofu Shih Tzu, Ning Xiu couldn't help laughing.
"Juro, I'm back!"
Hearing the voice, Ning Xiu knew that it was Qilang who came back, and he really said that Cao Cao Cao had arrived!
"Ah, third brother, why are you there!"
As soon as he entered the house and saw that Ning Xiu was also there, Shichiro opened his mouth wide.
"This is my house, why can't I be here."
Ning Xiu patted Qilang's shoulder and said with a smile.
"Third brother, I didn't mean that, I"
"Okay, the third brother is joking with you. To tell the third brother the truth, did he go to have a tryst with the little girl of the Wang family. ”
"Not really."
Shichiro lowered his head and rubbed his fingers repeatedly.
"Haha, what's there to be shy about? That's a good thing. This shows that our Shichiro has grown up and grown into a man. ”
"Third brother, don't talk about it."
Shichiro had already blushed, but Shiro clapped his hands happily and said, "Seventh brother also has women, and Seventh brother also has women." ”
Shichiro turned his head and glared at him: "Don't speak, no one treats you as a mute." ”
Shilang grimaced and said, "If you don't listen, you don't listen, Wang Ba recites the scriptures." ”
Qilang was blown up, but Ning Xiu stopped him, otherwise he might have to 'teach a lesson' to the little brother with fists and kicks.
"Okay, okay, I'm not going to make fun of you. Tell us about the cement and soap mill business these days. ”
As soon as Ning Xiu asked Qilang, his expression immediately returned to normal.
"The third brother can rest assured, the business of the soap workshop couldn't be better. We urged our hired workers to rush a few shipments, but as soon as they were made, they were snapped up and completely in short supply. ”
Shichiro paused and continued: "As for the business of the cement workshop, it is not bad, and many wealthy families in the city have asked us to help him glue wall tiles, but they have made a lot of money. ”
Ning Xiu nodded with satisfaction: "The fist product of soap can be played in Jingzhou, radiating in the direction of Henan and Zhejiang provinces." As for cement, you can wait. ”
"Why isn't the cement business expanding?"
"I have my own plans for this third brother."
The reason why Ning Xiu is not in a hurry to expand the cement business is because he still has some hidden worries.
An important material like cement must not be expanded easily. Blind expansion will only trigger jealousy, and some big people are something that Ning Xiu can't afford to offend now. He could only wait, waiting for the moment when his power was ripe. That is the moment when cement is really moving towards the high-end market of Daming.
"Okay, listen to the third brother. But how do you expand the soap business? We really don't know any big businessmen. ”
"This is easy to do, I will repair a letter and send it to Wuchang Mansion, and ask Sun Gongzi to inform him. The Sun family caravan went to Henan and Zhejiang provinces a lot, and they arranged for us to contact the local businessmen. ”
"The dead fat man?"
"yes, it's the fat man."
"What else is that dead fat man doing besides eating?"
"It's up to him to eat the markets in these two places."
