Chapter 107: Capsizing (1st Shift)
The news that Shi Nan was getting close to Li Lang these days quickly reached Shi Jinxiu's ears.
Only then did she realize that she had confessed to her parents, but had forgotten to confess to her younger brother and sister.
Shi Yan said that Li Lang couldn't meet her in the inner house all day long.
So Shi Jinxiu found a day to rest and called Shi Nan over: "You also know that the Xinxiang Pavilion that is helping our family make money now is robbing the business of Xixiangtang opposite, and Xixiangtang is the property of the eldest aunt's family. It's embarrassing, but it's better for our family to deal less with the Li family. ”
As he spoke, Shi Jinxiu looked at Shi Nan.
Shi Nan's face turned red.
As soon as he heard it, he knew that his sister was talking about him.
"Sister, that second son Li only studies on weekdays and does not participate in the housework...... "After all, he has been protected by Li Lang a lot these days, and Shi Nan still can't help but defend Li Lang.
Unexpectedly, Shi Jinxiu's gaze fell on Shi Nan like a knife, and then softened.
"Brother Nan, what do you mean by this? Do you want to defend that Li Lang, saying that the Li family is the Li family, and Li Lang is Li Lang? Shi Jinxiu knew that although his younger brother studied a lot, he was far inferior to Xu Li in terms of human sophistication, "But Li Lang was supported by the Li family, so it can't be said that the money earned by the Li family with a conscience has nothing to do with him." ”
"Before, the Li family bought the second master of the Ye family in order to bring down the Xinxiang Pavilion and forced the Ye family uncle to death, and they were not soft on the orphaned and widowed Sister Fuxin...... The elders in the family do things so unscrupulously, I don't believe that Li Lang, who has been exposed to it since he was a child, will be kind! Shi Jinxiu said coldly.
The experience in the dream told her that Li Lang was indeed a tasteless person, although now he always showed people a "full of knowledge, humility and courtesy", that is because he has been living smoothly so far, and nothing has happened that has made him experience setbacks.
She had no intention of digging up the somewhat cruel man in her dreams, she just wanted to stay away from him in this life.
"Brother Nan, I don't know why Li Lang suddenly treated you so well, you said that he appreciated you, or the two of you sympathized with each other, since there is this relationship between Xinxiang Pavilion, we have to guard against people," Shi Jinxiu said patiently to Shi Nan, "The current Xinxiang Pavilion is very important to our family, I can't let it have any more accidents, do you understand?" ”
Shi Jinxiu admits that he is a little mean.
Because she knew that Li Lang now had his own aura like a god in Shi Nan's mind, and it was not so easy to keep Shi Nan at a distance from Li Lang.
Sure enough, when he heard Shi Jinxiu say this, Shi Nan fell into deep thought.
But he didn't immediately alienate Li Lang, but had an extra heart when he got along with Li Lang.
When Li Lang inadvertently inquired about Shi Jinxiu's preferences, Shi Nan became suspicious and began to consciously stay away from Li Lang, always refusing Li Lang's invitation on the grounds that he still wanted to study.
Li Lang, who had just become acquainted with heather, was depressed in his heart.
He originally listened to his friend's idea, and was counting on getting closer through the people in the fourth room of the Shi family and the Shi family, but now it's good, even the door of the heather has been closed for him.
Li Lang was depressed here, and Shi Jinxiu's mood was not much better.
Yu Wenyan had been gone for more than a month, and there was no news, which made her feel flustered inexplicably.
But when she thought about it, she felt that she was thinking too much.
What kind of storms and waves Yuwenyan hasn't experienced over the years, even if there is anything, he can turn evil into good fortune!
Just thinking about this, Shi Jinxiu saw the cuckoo walking in from the outside.
"What's wrong? Who messed with you again? Today, Du Juan took a half-day off with her, saying that he wanted to go to the street to buy some fat powder.
Shi Jinxiu thought that she was now the age of Aiqiao, so she let her out of the house.
"I really didn't expect that Fu Chunji's rouge would be sold for ten taels of silver a box!" The cuckoo muttered.
Ten taels of silver a box?
Shi Jinxiu was very surprised when she heard the news, in her impression, Fuchun Ji's rouge was only one or two taels of silver a box on weekdays, and the kind with a particularly good color was only sold for five taels.
What is the situation now, it has doubled.
"Did you buy it?" Shi Jinxiu joked about Du Juan, because she knew that Du Juan had been thinking about Fu Chunji's rouge heart for a long time.
"Of course I bought it!" As he spoke, the cuckoo took out a handkerchief bag from his bosom, and then carefully untied it, revealing a Western enamel porcelain box.
"Hey, isn't that the cheapest one?" Shi Jinxiu looked at the box and said curiously, "You were reluctant to sell a tael of silver before, why is it so expensive to sell this time, and you are willing to sell silver again?" ”
Shi Jinxiu was naturally teasing her.
"That's not because the shopkeeper said that several sea ships in the capital Longxing capsized at sea, and the next batch of rouge doesn't know when it will come......," the cuckoo pouted, dripping blood in his heart.
Longxing line capsized the ship?
After Du Juan said this, Shi Jinxiu remembered that there seemed to be such a period in the dream, but when she knew, Lin Sanye, the young owner of Longxingxing, had already made a comeback with the borrowed money, and continued to do the seafood business.
And the part that capsized the boat that year was regarded as his personal legend and became everyone's after-dinner conversation.
Thinking back to everything in the dream, Shi Jinxiu's heart began to pound.
She was worried that the money she had pressed under the tiles could only be collected there, and she couldn't make money.
I never thought that I would encounter such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
The next day, she went to look for Xu Li.
"Right now, I have a good opportunity to make money, it depends on whether you are willing to work with me!" Shi Jinxiu also hid it differently than Xu Li, so he told him that he wanted to invest money in the seafood business.
Now she has 42,000 taels in her hand, in addition to the 8,000 taels lent to her third aunt.
But in these 42,000 miles, there are still 10,000 taels of silver that belong to Xu Li, and she has to discuss it with him before using this money.
"Seafood?" Xu Li, who has been helping Shi Jinxiu run errands these days, naturally knows that this is a lucrative business, but it is also very risky.
If you find a boat and go to sea, if you can come back safely, you will make a lot of money, but if you capsize at sea, you will lose all your money.
"Yes, seafood! But it's not our people who are going to run, it's me who invests my money in Longxingxing! Shi Jinxiu told Xu Li about his plans.
"Longxingxing?!" Xu Li objected when he heard it, "Sister, you may not know, these days there are rumors in the market that Longxingxing's boat capsized at sea, and I am afraid that I will not be able to make any money!" ”
"Of course I know that!" Shi Jinxiu smiled with Xu Li, "If you don't encounter such a thing, Long Xingxing can't look down on the money in our hands!" Now their young owner is anxious to make a comeback, let's go to the snow to send charcoal at this time, he can remember our good for the rest of his life. ”
