163 Go to pay homage to your birthday (ask for a monthly pass)
With the release of the second issue of 500 copies of the newspaper, the reputation of "Quyuan Miscellaneous Stories" suddenly grew.
If the inaugural issue is a pebble thrown into the sea, then this second issue is a pebble thrown into a pond, which really stirs up a few ripples.
Because all five inns offer newspapers as gifts for the top suites, it is inevitable that they will have to stock up. What is surprising is that the newspaper sold fifteen copies in spite of each other. Among them, the Tang store sold six copies, the business store sold seven copies, and the Chonggu store sold two copies, all of which were economic towns.
Chonggu was not as valued as Tang Bank and Shang Yu at first, because Xu Yuanzuo set the weight of geographical location too high when evaluating the investment of each store, and underestimated the origin status of Chonggu's own goods, so that after entering the peak business season, Chonggu stores were full every day, and hurriedly sent three teenagers from the head office of the park management bank, and at the same time prepared to open Chonggu No. 2 store.
The reputation of the newspaper is good, the business of the inn is above the expectation, and there is no initial loss, and the customers of Xia Wei Xu Yuan have expressed their intention to participate with the release of capital.
The industries operated by Xu Yuanzuo's subordinates are all thriving, which naturally makes Xu Cheng's face shine. This time, Xu Jie and Xu Fan went out to visit and let him take care of the house, which was undoubtedly also a decentralization of Xu Qing's housekeeper.
In a good situation, Xu Yuanzuo still did not forget to take care of the living treasure combination of Xu Kun and Xu Sheng. However, there is already a crack between the two, Xu Sheng is anxious to consolidate his position, and Xu Kun also ignores Xu Yuanzuo - can't he hide if he can't be provoked!
Time passed in a hurry, and soon it was time to make an appointment with my mother to go to my grandfather's house for her birthday.
Xu Liangzuo finally won a place for himself on the trip to Chongming, and when he saw his brother, he had a sly look on his face: "I have to send my mother over." β
"I see that he has been studying hard lately, and he is not greedy for fun, so he took him out for a walk." Mother Xu also remembered that she said last time that she would not bring her youngest son out, and the sound was still in her ears. Within a few days, it changed hexagrams, and I couldn't help but blush.
Xu Yuanzuo nodded: "Yes, my father went to Xi'an, and my mother didn't cook for three or five days, and it's not good to trouble the neighbors." β
Seeing Xu Yuanzuo's approval, Xu Mudeng was happy: "It's better for you to find this reason." It is worthy of being the head of the county. β
Xu Yuanzuo smiled and said, "It's only twenty-three today, and there are four days left before my grandfather's birthday." Mother, how do we arrange the trip? β
Mother Xu was a little anxious and said, "I haven't been back for my mother for so many years, so naturally the sooner the better." β
Xu Yuanzuo nodded and said, "In that case, let's live in Songjiang tonight." Depart early tomorrow morning and arrive in Shanghai by about evening. Board the ship the morning after tomorrow, and it is time to arrive in Chongming at noon. He thought he would be able to go to Chongming one day, but then asked a few teenagers who had walked through Chongming. Only then did I realize that I was too naΓ―ve.
Mother Xu knew that she couldn't travel at night, and she also knew that the boatman would not go to sea at night, so she had to spend two days on the road. If pedestrians walk faster, they can reach Suzhou in one day, which shows that the key is to isolate the sea route.
Xu Yuanzuo was not polite to his young men this time, and wanted to help buy gifts and help carry things, although he spoke. The teenagers also felt that it was a real honor to be able to play for Brother Yuanzuo. For a while, it was overjoyed.
Since you want to prepare gifts, you naturally have to count the heads.
"I don't know much about my grandfather's family. Therefore, only one character was prepared as a birthday gift. Xu Yuanzuo invited his mother to the small conference room, took out a volume of banners that had been framed, and slowly unfolded it on the bookcase. Mother Xu didn't know calligraphy, so she held her son's hand and said, "Don't unfold, be careful of getting dirty." She asked, "How much silver?" β
Xu Yuanzuo couldn't cry or laugh. I had to say: "It's not much, it's only twenty taels." β
"Ahh Xu Mu almost jumped up: "Twenty taels is not much!" Enough is enough, that's enough to show our hearts. β
"Mother, what should I do with the greeting gifts of other relatives?"
Mother Xu was a little gloomy and said, "I don't know if my father will continue the string." I have two older brothers above me. Although the eldest brother treats me normally, the second brother treats me very well, and the gifts of the two of them naturally have to be a bowl of water, so as not to be embarrassed. β
"Father is the second uncle who is evil, right?" Xu Yuanzuo asked.
Mother Xu nodded: "The eldest brother Shoucheng, he only likes to read, and he doesn't interact with outsiders in his spare time." The second brother is in charge of the family's business. β
"It's convenient, when you get to Songjiang, buy a set of high-quality scholar's treasures, it's enough to see the ceremony." Xu Yuanzuo said: "The second uncle is in charge of the family's business, so let's send some gold and jade vessels, which are not only rich but also convenient for him to dispose of." "Businessmen often have the need to transfer heavy gifts, so it is not convenient to give daily necessities.
"Ten taels of silver is enough." Mother Xu explained.
Xu Yuanzuo smiled: Living and moving qi to nourish the body, my mother has suffered and suffered over the years, and even her vision has been small.
"Leave it to my son." Xu Yuanzuo said.
Mother Xu was quite satisfied in her heart, and stroked Xu Yuanzuo's back: "Sure enough, it's enlightened, don't worry about it anymore." β
"I still want it." Xu Yuanzuo smiled, and saw Xu Liangzuo dodging behind his mother, so he said, "I haven't forgotten the agreement with you." β
Xu Liangzuo smiled bitterly: "Listen to you, you say, what do you want me to do?" β
"I haven't thought about it yet, I'll talk about it when I think about it." Xu Yuanzuo smiled: If you don't go to the peak of life, how can I think about it.
Mother Xu knew about the gambling contract between the two brothers, and she supported this healthy gambling, and encouraged the two of them again, and saw Xu Wenjing come in.
In addition to the absence of his father Xu He, the family can be regarded as a small reunion, so Xu Yuanzuo asked someone to prepare a family banquet, and had a good meal at noon before setting off for Songjiang.
The foothold of Songjiang is Xufu.
Xu Yuanzuo's identity is between Xu Fan's righteous son and stepson, and he belongs to the family as a matter of course. Xu's mother is a relative of the Xu family, and she has a relationship with Xu Yuanzuo, and even Xu Yuanchun came out to bow to her "aunt".
Mother Xu and Liangzuo naturally lived in Chengyuan with Xu Yuanzuo, and Xiao Liangzuo looked at the luxurious homes of the top wealthy families in the Ming Dynasty, and felt like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
Xu Yuanchun learned that Xu Yuanzuo was going to accompany his mother to pay homage to his birthday, and immediately said: "Since you are going to your in-laws' house, how can you be rude?" It's just that my father and eldest father are not here, so I can't make my own decisions, so let's talk about my feelings. β
Xu Yuanzuo did not shirk.
Xu Yuanchun took a set of high-grade rabbit quill pens from the study, sprinkled gold rice paper with a knife, and added a small leaf boxwood carved Lu Chunyang ornament and handed it to Xu Yuanzuo.
Xu Yuanzuo looked at the boxwood ornaments, warm as jade, golden in color, carved even more ingenious, lifelike, and pleasant. With this thing, you don't need to look for the gold and jade vessel, it is enough to get it. (To be continued......)
