At dusk, the courtyard of the Sai family's entrance had been cleaned, and the three thousand six hundred taels of silver were divided into two equal parts in four boxes, and they were neatly placed in the main hall at this time.

The eldest lady sat in the main seat opposite the door, Xia Shang sat in the guest seat, and Sang Sang made tea in the corner.

While making tea, Sang Sang peeked at Xia Shang, and when he came back to his senses, he found that the tea had already overflowed and was poured into the tray.

Xia Shang looked at the four boxes of silver in front of him, and the unspeakable achievement in his heart was three thousand six hundred taels! I also had 1,800 taels of equalization, and the whole Saijia got my own equal. Add the previous two hundred taels to a full two thousand taels of silver. If the money is used in a remote place, it will definitely be enough to buy a large piece of land, at least to become a petty bourgeois landlord. Although it is nothing in Chang'an City, it is enough to become the starting capital of the career.

Xia Shang smirked and sketched the blueprint, and suddenly found that the eldest lady did not show much excitement, to be precise, not very happy.

"Madame, why do you look sullen?"

The eldest lady shook her head: "Huh? Have it? Didn't you? ”

Xia Shang saw that the eldest lady had something on her mind, so it was inconvenient to ask more. At this time, Sang Sang came up with tea, put a cup in front of Xia Shang, put a cup next to the eldest lady, and then retreated behind the eldest lady and lowered his head.

Xia Shang looked at the silver: "Madam, I don't have a place to put this silver, so Mrs. Lao asked me to keep it together, how about I come to get it when I want to use it?" ”

"Yes, yes. Ay! ”

Xia Shang frowned: "Why is the eldest lady sighing?" ”

"I'm afraid this money won't last long in the Saijia, right?"

"Huh? Why did the eldest lady say this? ”

The eldest lady straightened her face and said in a low voice: "Xia Shang, you tell me the truth." With this money, don't you plan to stay at Saijia anymore? ”

Xia Shang was stunned: "No...... Nothing! ”

The words are relaxed, but there is obviously less confidence. Even Sangsang, who was on the side, couldn't help but clench his fists when he heard the words, and forcibly endured the sour taste in his heart.

"You don't have to hide it. Madam, I have long seen that you are not an ordinary person, and the Sai family is definitely not a place where you live for a long time. If you really want to go, Madame, I won't stop you. ”

said that he would not stay, but who couldn't hear the meaning of retention in the tone of the eldest lady?

Xia Shang hadn't made up his mind, and when he saw Mrs. Tang Tang say such euphemistic words to herself, she really felt uncomfortable in her heart.

The Sang Sang and the eldest lady in front of him are the closest people to Xia Shang, and now that they have a little family background, they are going out to work alone, and they seem a little guilty when they think about it.

"Don't think about it, ma'am. I...... I didn't say I was leaving? As soon as these words came out, Xia Shang made up his mind and decided to postpone the matter of doing it alone.

However, the eldest lady couldn't see through Xia Shang's thoughts, thinking that it was his strategy to delay the army.

After so many days, the eldest lady felt more and more that this little cook was good, and it was a great loss for him to leave the Sai family, so she glanced at Sang Sang tangledly, and suddenly gritted her teeth: "Xia Shang, since you said that you will not leave the Sai family, you will still be a member of the Sai family in the future!" ”

"Of course, as long as I still cook a meal for the eldest lady, it will be a member of the Sai family."

"You've done a lot of things for the Sai family, and I haven't really appreciated you seriously, ma'am. Sangsang, come here. The eldest lady came back to her senses and took Sang Sang's sweaty little hand, "This is my maid, who has followed me since I was a child, and has never left her side for a day, and now Mrs. Ben will promise her to you." ”

"Madame!" Sang Sang stiffened in place, staring at him incredulously, his eyes were full of doubts, didn't he say before that he wouldn't mention it?

The eldest lady's sudden decision made Sang Sang and Xia Shang stunned.

Xia Shang sprayed a mouthful of tea on the ground, hunched over and wiped his mouth: "Madam, you, you...... You're kidding me, aren't you? Sister Sangsang is the leader of the Sai family, and she can be regarded as half a master in terms of status and status, which is ...... This and this ......"

"Xia Shang!" The eldest lady suddenly sighed aggravated, "You look at me, you see that Mrs. Ben is joking with you now?" ”

“……”

Xia Shang was silent, looked at the eldest lady, and then looked at Sang Sang.

Sang Sang was wearing a floral dress, the upper body was slightly smaller, tightly wrapped around her body, and the appearance of holding her arms shyly looked quite charming. The small nose and small mouth are well matched, the black eyes are also very simple, the appearance of the small jasper makes people stable and comfortable, the red face is shy and lovely, and she is a well-behaved woman when you look horizontally and vertically.

The scene of giving an umbrella in the rain quickly flashed in Xia Shang's mind, and Xiao Nizi's trembling at that time was still distressing. That innocent feeling warms Xia Shang's heart every time he thinks about it, but now, the little girl who has a strong affection for herself is waiting for her answer!

"Do you want to refuse a lovely little girl like that?"

Xia Shang pinched his chin, and it was difficult to make a decision.

"Xia Shang, Mrs. Ben knows that it's not good to force you like this! What's wrong is that you remember me, but Sangsang is innocent, no matter what, you also think about Sangsang's feelings, right? Are you willing to marry Sangsang? ”

"I ...... I...... I would like to ......"

"Wait!"

Just as Xia Shang was about to say the last word, Sang Sang suddenly spoke: "Madam! I don't want to! ”

"Sangsang! What nonsense are you talking about?! The eldest lady was furious.

"Madam, Sangsang doesn't like him! The husband in Sangsang's mind is a knowledgeable and talented son, so he is not a big spoon! Sangsang doesn't marry! Don't marry! ”

As he spoke, Sang Sang rushed out of the main hall, and the small figure quickly disappeared from the sight of the two.

The remaining two people in the hall didn't speak again, and they didn't know what to say to each other, and they were silent for a long time, and Xia Shang said goodbye first.

Back in the bedroom, lying on the hard kang, Xia Shang's thoughts gradually became clearer.

Perhaps it was the momentary compromise just now that made Xia Shang understand what he was thinking more clearly.

Now, Xia Shang knows more clearly what he wants.

The Sai family is by no means a place to stay for a long time, just working here for a lifetime will not make the Sai family become the Xia family, even if you want to marry Sangsang, you can't let her become the shackles you keep in the Sai family, but let her become a respected Mrs. Xia.

Now that the eldest lady has seen through that she is leaving the Sai family, it is useless to postpone for a while, and those who want to leave will always have to go, so it is better to take this opportunity to make up her mind.

Thinking through everything, Xia Shang turned over and sat up: "The Saijia can't stay any longer!" Go to the store now! ”

Xia Shang's life plan officially entered the second step - opening a restaurant.

The first thing to solve when opening a restaurant is the storefront, Xia Shang decided to go out first to step on the spot, and see which shops to rent.

As soon as he left the door, a stranger stopped him from behind.

"Hey! Little businessman, you've been so chic lately, and you don't tell your brother if you have such a good job, isn't this going to break up? ”

Xia Shang was confused: "Are you?" ”

"Dog's day! Turned your face and didn't recognize people? Or is it that brother, I'm too decently dressed today to be recognized? Lao Tzu is a monkey! You're not going to forget me, are you? ”
