Xi Hongdou saw that it was the Cui family's business that was robbed, and smiled happily, this Cui family was originally the largest grain merchant in the vicinity, and all of a sudden, a good hand of cards was played poorly!

Boss Cui was really about to vomit blood at home, thinking that Xi Hongdou's business was limited to Xijia Village, how big could Xi Hongdou's grain store be? How much grain can be digested? Without this village, his Cui family can still accept other villages, now it's good, Xi Hongdou doesn't know where to move these immortals, the Beijing officials of the imperial court can actually move, now even if he wants to make it bad, he can't move it, and the Caoguan County Master of the household department also wants to give face!

"Master, what should I do?" The housekeeper asked, "Our family has collected less grain this quarter, and the account book is ...... Let's see for yourself, sir. ”

Boss Cui was really angry, so he said: "I really can't fight, I have lived in vain for most of my life!" "He can't even figure out a yellow-haired girl!

At this time, Cui Xueying came over and said, "Is that Xi Hongdou ......?" ”

"Yes, it's the kid from the Han family who wants to propose!" Boss Cui said: "You go back first, you're talking about business here!" ”

Cui Xueying didn't stay long, and when she returned to the room, she was a little curious, what kind of girl Han Yushu liked, and now that her father was angry with Xi Hongdou, she wanted to see where this Xi Hongdou was sacred.

took the maid Xiaocui Cui Xueying out of the door, and went to Xijia Village in a carriage.

Xijia Village is very lively, you don't need to ask, as soon as you enter the village, you can hear people talking about Xi Hongdou on the side of the road, Cui Xueying listened, and went all the way to the ancestral hall of Xijia Village.

The ancestral hall is overcrowded, all of them are here to sell grain, even if Cui Xueying has seen what her family looks like when she collects grain, she has never seen such a big scene.

"Miss, isn't that standing in front of Xi Hongdou?" Xiao Cui pointed to a little girl at the front of the grain collection line.

Cui Xueying looked over, and looked at the Xi Hongdou's skin was not snow-white, and his body was not slender, he looked just tall and thin, and he was wearing plain cloth clothes, and he was sweating on his face when he was busy, and he looked very good-looking, but the whole person could only say that it was pleasing to the eye, and it was not very good-looking.

"Is that what Young Master Han likes?" Next to her, Xiao Cui expressed her doubts.

Cui Xueying is also puzzled, no matter how you look at it, she looks better, right?

Here Xi Hongdou helps to read the name, after the scales are settled, the money is counted in person, and if it is less after leaving, it doesn't matter.

Cao Guan's surname was Cao, and the grain harvest is going so smoothly now, and it will be almost complete in a few days, Yanyun's largest rice producing area is Hexi Prefecture, and this errand is also easy.

In only half a month, there are caravans going back and forth between Kyoto City and Xijia Village every day, Yao San is also happy, because they have done a lot, and even give them some rewards, how can they not be happy if they have money?

However, Xi Hongdou was not too blindly happy, she thought that if her caravan could be done earlier, this time the work might have gone crazy!

Seeing that the grain was almost finished, Xi Hongdou breathed a sigh of relief, today is over, tomorrow she can follow the caravan back to Kyoto City to settle, according to the price negotiated with Master Xiao, she can't say that she buys a small shop, even if she directly buys a big shop in a prosperous area, it should be enough!

At night, everyone was just about to rest, but there was a shout from Xi sister-in-law on the other side of the house, Xi Hongdou quickly got up when he heard it, and pushed open the window to see Xi Mu hurriedly walking this way.

Aunt Xi put on her clothes and asked, "The eldest daughter-in-law is about to give birth, right?" ”

Xi Mu said: "It seems to be, my mother will go and see it first!" ”

Aunt Xi hurriedly went over to look, and the second sister-in-law Xi also hurriedly put on her clothes and came out.

"This is the amniotic water is broken, go to the entrance of the village to find Mrs. Wang to deliver the baby!" Aunt Xi said.

Xi Hongdou was also dressed at this time, and just about to run errands, Aunt Xi said: "Don't go Hongdou, you boil water at home, and the second daughter-in-law will go for a run!" ”

"Hey, let's go!" Xi's second sister-in-law hurriedly ran to the entrance of the village to find Mrs. Wang, Xi Hongdou went to the morning to quickly brush the pot and boil water, and Aunt Xi prepared scissors and white cloth here, all of which were thrown into the pot and boiled.

Sister-in-law Xi gave birth for the first time, she was scared a lot, she screamed in pain, Xi Mu was guarding in the house, and Aunt Xi shouted: "But call lightly, I'm tired of calling now, what strength do you have to give birth to a child in a while!" ”

Xi Lin looked at the situation, and also went to help Xi Hongdou watch the stove, Xi Hongdou thought about it, so he went to the kitchen to find some leftover steamed cakes at night, and sent them into the house to let Xi's sister-in-law eat a few bites first, and she would have the strength to give birth to a child in a while.

Mrs. Wang came, washed her hands and went into the house, Xi Mu was blasted out directly, and then only Mrs. Wang's voice could be heard inside.

Father Xi sat at the gate smoking a dry cigarette, and the eldest daughter-in-law gave birth to the first child of his grandchildren. Aunt Xi is busy working inside, the eldest daughter-in-law is the first child, and it is easy to give birth to a child, so it is not okay to be careful.

After Xi Hongdou boiled the water, he scooped it into the copper basin, and Xi's second sister-in-law broke it in, and when she came out again, Xi's second sister-in-law's face turned white.

"Sister-in-law, are you alright?" Xi Hongdou saw that Xi's second sister-in-law had a bad face, so he asked.

Xi's second sister-in-law shook her head and said, "It's too scary, a basin of water will soon become red, and my mother said that the boiling water can't be stopped!" ”

Xi Mu was going back and forth at the door, Xi Lin went to help chop wood, and Xi Hongdou comforted Xi Mu: "Big brother, it's okay, my sister-in-law has not drunk a lot of fetal medicine, and the midwife is here, it must be fine!" ”

Xi Mu waited in a hurry, so he said, "Is it so dangerous for a woman to give birth to a child?" ”

Xi's second sister-in-law said at this time: "In the past, I just heard those old people in the village say that women giving birth to children are going through the ghost gate, but now I really believe it when I see it." "I used to envy my sister-in-law Xi for being pregnant with a child, but now she has a shadow in her heart.

After a while, there was a baby's cry inside, and the moaning of Sister-in-law Xi also stopped, and Mrs. Wang came out with the child in her arms.

"Congratulations, it's a girl!" After Mrs. Wang finished speaking, she handed the child to Xi Mu first, and then Father Xi took the red envelope that had been prepared a long time ago and gave it to Mrs. Wang.

When he heard that it was a son, Xi Hongdou was stunned, and Xi's sister-in-law seemed to like her son.

In the house, sister-in-law Xi's tears came out, she was pregnant with a child, and she didn't let her work much at home, but now she gave birth to a girl, how can this in-law explain.

When Aunt Xi saw that Sister-in-law Xi was crying, she said: "Oh, you can't cry, you just gave birth to a child, and your eyes will be bad when you get old in the future!" ”

"Mother, I ......" Sister-in-law Xi felt uncomfortable, and it was also a loss to her in-laws, the first child of the grandchildren was not the eldest grandson, which ......

Aunt Xi smiled and said: "You just have a good rest, we also said a long time ago, the family is not in order to be patriarchal, and the girl is also the meat that fell from the mother's body, what do you have to cry!" ”

Sister-in-law Xi knew that her in-laws had said this before, but she still wanted a son.

Outside, Xi Mu held the child and looked at it, it was really not very good-looking when he was just born, Xi Hongdou was also stunned when he saw it, he felt that he was still young after all, and he had to get used to it for a while.

Daddy Xi came over to take a look, and said with a smile: "This doll is quite similar to Hongdou when he was a child." ”

Xi Hongdou was speechless: "Can you still see that you look like me?" ”

Xi Mu went into the house with the child in his arms, and saw that after giving birth to the child, Sister-in-law Xi had no other problems except for her pale face, so she was relieved.

Outside, Xi Er's sister-in-law boiled fish soup directly on the hot stove, and it was estimated that this Xi sister-in-law may be giving birth in the next few days, so she used a wooden basin to fill water with a few big catfish, and the old people in the village said that catfish soup can promote milk, and the woman who just gave birth to a child drank it is the most nourishing.

Here, Xi Mu went outside with the child in his arms and waited outside, and Aunt Xi changed a set of dry bedding, so as not to serve badly and easily get puerperal fever.

After tossing in the middle of the night, everyone went back to sleep, and the next morning everyone heard that sister-in-law Xi gave birth and gave birth to a daughter.

Sister-in-law Xi was a little depressed, and she thought earlier that she would give birth to a son and send her to study, and she would become an official in the future, but now she doesn't have to think about it.

Xi Hongdou didn't leave in a hurry because he had a happy event at home, so he went to say hello to Lord Cao and them, and stayed in Xijia Village first. However, Lord Cao, they had to hurry back to resume their lives, and they left first after greeting them.

Xi Hongdou took out the gold lock piece prepared early in the morning and sent it out, and the family was also happy, Aunt Xi wanted Xi Hongdou to stay for a few more days, but Xi Hongdou couldn't stay here for too long, the shop in Kyoto City had not opened for several days, and if it was not opened, the repeat customers would run away.

After staying in Xijia Village for three more days, Xi Hongdou still hurried back to Kyoto City, inside and outside for a month, and now when he returns to Kyoto City, his mood is naturally different.

The business of the rice shop is now done with Master Xiao, and she has nothing to sell for the time being, so she just has time to walk around the city, find a shop, and buy it directly if it is suitable, and she will have her own industry in Kyoto City in the future.

Walked a few shops, the most prosperous north of the city is indeed good, but the price is too high, most of them are rented, the price in the west of the city is lower, presumably the flow of people is not so big, Xi Hongdou looked around, began to ponder, what kind of shop.

As soon as Master Xiao settled the money for collecting grain, he was now a little rich woman, and it was enough to buy a shop in the north of the city, but she still wanted to continue to open a shop in the south of the city. First, the name of his red bean grain shop has already begun, and secondly, selling rice is not anything else, and Chengnan can make a lot of money just by relying on repeat customers, and ...... Her money can buy a few more shops in the south of the city, and the street she wants can also take shape.

There was a shop next to the original grain store, but it was in disrepair, and the boss didn't ask for money when he sold it, Xi Hongdou thought about it, and bought it directly, and went to the yamen to finish the deed and title deed, and then found someone to rebuild it, the foundation was not changed, and the foundation was redone, and the craftsman bought a lot of wood materials or something, and he was busy for several days.
