003. Ideal future
"Mother, the matter has come to this point, and there is no room for turnaround, fortunately, our Su family still has some face in this Sifang City, with a son and the second child staring, forgive that Wu Mansion does not dare to bully Sister Meng.
"If they really dare to do anything to Sister Meng'er, don't blame our Su family for not taking him as the prefect in their eyes, don't be angry about this."
The eldest lord is also confident in saying this, although the imperial court is suppressing business, but it is not that it can be moved, after all, even if it is an official in the capital who did not send them silver, shops, and rare treasures.
There is no one behind their old Su family. If you are really going to be in a hurry, whether it is to buy a murderer or to instigate a few opponents of the Wu family, it is not too difficult for a rich man like Su Fu.
Everyone persuaded the old lady one after another, and the old lady also knew that although the Su family was not afraid of the prefect, if they really did it, the Su family might not be able to please them, and money always had two sides.
Now that he is angry, if he continues to make trouble, it will only make his family feel bad, and what will happen in the future will depend on what Wu Fu does.
In the end, the old lady spoke and asked the eldest man to add an article to the family rules: The daughter of the Su family will never be a concubine.
When they came out of Songhetang, it was already dark, and everyone went back to their respective yards to eat something casually, and the day was over.
There are a lot of things today, and the people in each courtyard have turned off the lights early after a tired day, and only the Lanxi Garden still has candlelight.
Su Xi was still looking at the account book, the abacus was crackling, she had now taken over the business of six shops, and it was the time to get started.
I used to follow the eldest master to learn the director, and when I saw her father talking about business with others lightly, it seemed that it was just beckoning.
When he went to inspect the shop, he was even more powerful, and no one who was sneaky and slippery could slip out of his father's nose.
Not to mention the account book, the old Su family is a family that relies on a good abacus, which one can hide the fake account from Master Su.
She can't do it, looking at simple things, she can't do it as well as his father.
Although Master Su is always very proud to praise her with those shopkeepers, saying that she plays abacus like the old Su family, and her vision is as good as that of him Su Youjin.
But Su Xi always thinks that who doesn't say that the radishes she grows at home are good, she is her father's daughter, and her father doesn't say that she is good and who is good.
She hopes that the shopkeepers under her father can also say that she is good, and that is good!
No, the new goods have just arrived, and there are also goods to be purchased in her shop, these days she is busy looking at the account books of previous years, she has to take a good look at what the situation is in previous years.
Tonight is no exception, the province will not be able to figure out the market tomorrow and call the people below to make jokes, then it will be really embarrassing.
As for the worries of those shopkeepers, Su Xi didn't know it, but what could she do? I can't really persuade my mother to tell my eldest brother to stop studying and come back to take over the family's business.
Don't look at Pei's spoiling her, if she dares to say this, Pei will definitely have to scold her ears, who makes her mother always love to compete with her second aunt?
To say that at the beginning, the Su family really didn't think much about being an official.
When Mrs. Su was young, his family was poor, and sometimes he couldn't eat, and his only wish was to be able to eat and dress warmly.
The proprietor was optimistic about him, cultivated him, and slowly became the shopkeeper and the big shopkeeper.
Later, the situation was unstable, the four fields were turbulent, and wars were frequent, and the owner had the idea of escaping the world, sold the shop and returned to his hometown to become a rich man.
The proprietor learned that Mrs. Su wanted to do business on his own, so he simply gave Mrs. Su all the shops and goods that could not be sold in his hand.
Not to mention the hardships and hardships of starting a business in the middle, anyway, in the end, he made a fortune, and after the situation stabilized, Mrs. Su came to Sifang City and settled here.
The three masters of the Su family have been planning with Mrs. Su since they were children, and when they didn't say anything, they began to plan for the plate.
The Su family slowly grew bigger, and when people came back to their senses, they found that the Su family was already the richest man in Sifang City, even if the old lady Su passed away, the three brothers of the Su family still developed the Su family impressively, and no one in the Su family at that time thought of becoming an official.
When did you come up with the idea?
It was probably when the second son was about five years old, the old lady was too old, and the second son wrote a vice birthday message to the old lady, and everyone knew that the second son had been reading with the second lady since he could speak.
Everyone is praising the second son for being sensible, and the second lady is worthy of being born in a scholarly family, and then look at the eldest son who is only one year older than the second son.
Pei's heart was holding his breath, this Wang family has not put her and the third daughter-in-law in his eyes since he entered the mansion, he prides himself on being a scholarly family, and never disdains to deal with Pei's and Yang's families, who are from merchants.
Pei's teeth gritted and made up his mind to detain the innocent eldest son to study.
The second lady said that the second son would become an official in the future, and Pei also urged the eldest son to be admitted to the champion in the future;
The second lady found the best academy and the best gentleman for the second son, and Pei also went to find it;
The second lady worked hard to find an official for her two daughters, and Pei also thought, but unfortunately her mother's family was an authentic businessman, and she had no way, so she could only turn her head and ask her son for her face, as if she could be admitted to the top of the exam, and then find an official husband for her sister.
Su Xi is actually not interested in marrying an official, she thinks that if her brother can really go to high school, she will find an honest man to marry, or it would be better if the other party could get married.
Then she can help her father take care of the business, let her brother be an official well, and not worry about money, and when her brother marries his sister-in-law and gives birth to a baby, she and her mother can help take care of it.
She can also give birth to a few by herself, three is not much, five is not less, how good the family is lively.
But sometimes she is very worried, if her brother becomes an official, he will definitely marry a young lady, what if she looks down on her as a business-in-law like the second aunt, she will definitely not be able to live together, she can only leave Sufu.
Although Su Xi is extremely reluctant to marry in her heart, she also has ideas about her small family after leaving Su Mansion.
She wanted to live on the edge of the dock. Su Xi likes to take a boat, and she also likes the hustle and bustle of the dock, watching the crowds coming and going, listening to the bustle on the street, and counting the goods unloaded on the ship, she will always be happy.
The house doesn't need to be too big, the courtyard of Sanjin is enough, and the Su Mansion is too big, and every time you go to Songhetang to ask for peace, you have to walk for a quarter of an hour.
It would be nice to have a yard, she doesn't take care of the flowers and plants, but she likes the bright colors.
After Su Xi finished reading the account book, it was already late at night, she blew out the candle and went to bed, and Su Mansion, which had been noisy for a day, finally quieted down completely.
In a daze, Su Xi remembered the person who didn't even want to give her a smile.
