On the fifteenth day of the first month of the fourteenth year of Zhengkang,

A lively street in the capital city of Yingzhou, a new shop has been opened in a lively and lively manner, and the name is Ruyi Workshop.

The goods sold in this shop are mainly household goods and entertainment and recreational products, and there are many kinds of products, and the characteristics, in the words of the store, are simple, excellent, convenient for life, and the price is reasonable.

This shop is not small, and when it opened, there were also family members of the Assassin family who came to cheer. People who know say that this shop has a background.

This is the boutique shop that Zhong Xiaohe wants to open.

After four months of preparation, the business finally opened on the day of the Lantern Festival.

The location of this Ruyi workshop is good, the place is big, just to buy it, it costs 1,500 taels, and Lao Zhong's heart is dripping blood when he pays. Fortunately, according to the rental market, the monthly rent can be eighty taels.

It's a pity that he rents to his daughter, and the rent has to wait until the end of the month to make sure that he earns it, so he can give it.

Fortunately, Lao Zhong's expectations were not disappointed, and after a month, the sales of Ruyi Workshop were nearly 1,000 taels, and the profit was about 4,500 taels. That's what the girl told him.

If only all the money were your own.

The share of the Ruyi Workshop was given to General Wei 30%, the big donkey's tooth 10%, Zhong Xiaohe because he invested the most money and she and Lao Zhong were busy, she got 50%, and Lao Zhong got 10%.

How did Zhong Xiaohe's funds come from, of course, part of it was his own, and the insufficient part was borrowed from Lao Zhong.

The tooth powder store often does some promotional activities, the most basic tooth powder is discounted, and the green salt is similar, but the former smells much better, and the effect of teeth cleaning and fixing teeth is also better, slowly, the tooth powder has entered more and more people's homes, and the business of the tooth powder store is finally slowly on the right track.

The big sales of tooth powder have also boosted the sales of toothbrushes.

For a time, the Zhong family could be said to be rich in money.

Yangjia Village, the old Zhu family.

The family's face was heavy and gloomy.

Mrs. Zhu said:

"I didn't expect to ask someone to enter Luming Academy, and I actually had to take fifty taels of silver first, if I entered the academy, I would have to spend money on the four treasures of eating and living in the study, and I would have to prepare fifty or sixty taels for everything.

Hey, it was supposed to be good, relatives and friends made up, and it was almost the same, hey, it's a pity that the silver was lost, what can I do now? Going to another college? ”

Zhu Wenyao sat on the stool, looking embarrassed, but a little embarrassed in his heart.

It was wrong for him to "lose" the silver, but he really knew that he was wrong, and he regretted it several times, but his family always had to mention it over and over again to expose his scars.

There are many times, and if you don't bother, you have to be annoyed. When I am admitted to the lifting of people in the future, how many times will I not be able to earn back the silver? It should make people feel bad.

He was already one step later than Tuesday, if he went to an ordinary academy again, I was afraid that it would be difficult to catch up with him for the rest of his life, how could he be willing?

Zhu Wenyao's two fists were clenched, no matter what, he must go to Luming.

Carpenter Zhu squatted on the ground, his brows gathered into a big pimple, and sighed: "Mother, other academies, it is said that there are very few people who can be admitted to the exam, and it is in vain to spend money if they go." ”

In fact, he had talked to his son about this issue before, and he and his mother had similar meanings, but Wen Yao insisted on going to Luming.

"What's going on? I could borrow it from the old Zhong family before, but now I can borrow it from anyone? ”

"Why don't you take a look with my sister?" Carpenter Zhu's daughter-in-law said cautiously beside her.

"Your sister-in-law is not separated, so it's good to have ten taels of silver in your hand."

"Borrow ...... from her in-laws"

"You have a big face, so you can borrow it." Mrs. Zhu glared at Zhu Wenyao's mother.

Carpenter Zhu's daughter-in-law immediately held back and stopped talking.

Carpenter Zhu glanced at his son, and said casually: "Recently, I heard that the Zhong family has opened a shop in Fucheng again, or in the name of his girl, how many shops have been opened in his family, tsk, rich people are getting richer and richer." ”

Zhu Wenyao clenched his fist again, what does the family mean, he knows, let him marry the fat girl of the Zhong family.

Before he was admitted to Xiucai, he overheard his grandmother tell his father about this, and his father did not agree at that time, he was sure that he was nine out of ten in the Xiucai exam, and there must be a better choice in the future.

Dad is right, the Zhong family's background is not very thick, and it has not been a few years since he got rid of mud legs, especially that fat girl, if she really marries home, I am afraid that she will be laughed at for a lifetime.

I wouldn't marry the fat girl of the Zhong family anyway.

But this time, looking at my father's meaning, I was shaken.

The Zhong family is thriving, and the loss of money in his family is stretched, which makes the family shake.

Zhu Wenyao was very unwilling and had a feeling of humiliation.

As soon as Mrs. Zhu heard her son's tone, she knew that his mind had changed, and she was overjoyed, so she said, "That girl is also fourteen this year, and it's time to meet someone." This girl's fortune tellers all say that she is blessed and prosperous, and she has not yet married, and there are two shops, and she is a money rake. ”

Zhu Wenyao lowered his head and did not speak.

The family was silent for a while, but it was Mrs. Zhu who broke the calm, "Wen Yao, marry the daughter of the Zhong family back, all the difficulties will not be difficult." What do you think? ”

Zhu Wenyao didn't squeak, but the word resistance was obviously written on his face.

Mrs. Zhu and Carpenter Zhu were a little disappointed.

But his mother pestled her son with her hand, her eyes flashed, and she whispered: "You can get married first, and then you can enter the door when you are admitted." ”

This is said literally, but everyone understands the deeper meaning, leaving room for regret.

But Zhu Wenyao was still unmoved, the whole family sighed, and Mrs. Zhu wiped her tears and said sadly: "If my old bones are smashed, I can sell them for money to let you go to the academy, grandmother, I don't hesitate." Your father has been working day and night, and he is not too young, how many years can he still work? ”

"Grandmother, I ...... I agreed. ”

"Your mother too...... What? Do you agree? Mrs. Zhu originally wanted to persuade, but suddenly reacted, and her grandson said that she agreed.

Zhu Wenyao's face was forced and helpless.

What if you don't agree? It costs to ask someone to go to Luming Academy, and it is said that it costs a lot to go to the academy.

If the old Zhong family is still like before, they will definitely not agree, but the old Zhong family is now considered a wealthy family in the county, at least they can make themselves worry-free for a few years.

"Yes, I agreed, it's best to get married first, and after a few years, after being admitted to the exam, we will talk about entering the door, it's the best, it's the best, I can hide it from outsiders."

Mrs. Zhu burst into tears and laughed, and Carpenter Zhu and his wife were also relieved when they heard this.

"My golden grandson agrees, it's no problem to enter the door in a few years, the last time I chatted at Lao Yang's house, Mrs. Cao and her daughter also said that if you want to keep that girl until she is eighteen years old, I'm afraid it's not okay to hide other people's things, we can do it ourselves, and we can't control that family."

Zhu Wenyao nodded, "Try your best." ”

"Good grandson, grandmother will talk to Mrs. Cao first, and they will not be happy."

"Mother, the sooner you decide, the better, Wen Yao is studying, and there is no delay." Carpenter Zhu reminded.

"Yes, you wait to hear the good news."

After speaking, Mrs. Zhu stroked her face with her hands, patted her clothes and stood up, and walked happily to Yang's house.
