Mrs. Shi is good everywhere, but the heirs are not abundant, and most things are smooth after marrying into the Shi family, but she only got Shi Jiuniang's daughter. The Bai family was very happy to see this, thinking that whether it was for Shi Jiuniang to marry their Bai family's son or for their Bai family's daughter to marry Shi Sanye's concubine, it would be a good thing for their Bai family.

However, Mrs. Shi San didn't like the Bai family, so how could she let Shi Jiuniang marry into the Bai family? As for whether the daughter of the Bai family should marry Shi Sanye's concubine, she was too lazy to interfere. Although she will not treat the concubines in her family harshly, she will not treat them as her own, so she will not care if they do whatever they like.

"Among Shi Sanye's concubines, Shi Tong is the most capable, and the Bai family took a fancy to Shi Tong at the beginning, but Shi Tong has always had great ideas and great skills, the Bai family can't help him, and Shi Sanye also follows him, so that he can tie the knot with Miss Xu." Gu Siyan said, "Recently, she has been looking for you for a long time, in addition to the Shi family's affairs, there is also the reason why the Bai family has come to Fucheng. ”

"The Bai family?"

"Yes, there is a white girl, and there are three white young masters." Gu Siyan said with a smile, "That white girl is the daughter of the Bai family, and she planned to let her marry Shi Tong before, and she seems to be interested in Shi Tong." And those three young masters Bai were naturally prepared for Shi Jiuniang. Because Shi Jiuniang's idea was bigger than Shi Tong's, they weren't sure if what they had prepared could make Shi Jiuniang like it, so they brought the three best young masters in the lineage over, thinking that there was always one that Shi Jiuniang would like. ”

Jiang Xuehe was dumbfounded: "This Jiuniang is like the princess and queen in the script, thousands of men for her to choose?" ”

Gu Siyan sneered and laughed: "It's only three, how can it be regarded as thousands of men?" ”

Jiang Xuehe said with a smile: "Although the Bai family is not as good as the Shi family now, in the end, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, less than the Shi family, and it is much stronger than other merchants in this city." But even the Bai family has sent out three sons in one go, so won't other merchants be moved? Although the Shi family has five family heads, only Shi Sanye can be regarded as the real family head, and the other four are deputies. Therefore, for businessmen in the world, the most valuable daughter-in-law is probably Shi Jiuniang. ”

"In this way, it is indeed thousands of men for Shi Jiuniang to choose." Gu Siyan said with a smile, "It's just that Shi Sanye has the intention to recruit for Shi Jiuniang, and the range of options may be a little smaller." ”

"Recruitment?" Jiang Xuehe didn't quite understand the meaning of Shi Jiuniang's recruitment, "Could it be that Shi Sanye wants her to also fight for the position of the so-called head of the family?" ”

Gu Siyan nodded: "Third Master Shi does have this idea, and three of the other four heads of the Shi family agree. After all, they all know very well what the situation of the shop in the hands of each junior is. And Shi Tong's business is also doing well, and he gets along well with Shi Jiuniang, and the brother and sister have some cooperation. The Shi family believes that if Shi Jiuniang and Shi Tong are added, the head of this family is foolproof. However, the other juniors are not very happy, they can't compete with men, but now there are women joining, and the battle between the head of the Shi family will not stop for another ten years. ”

Jiang Xuehe was right when she thought about it, originally without Shi Jiuniang, the Shi family could fight for ten years unresolved, so if you join Shi Jiuniang, the situation will definitely be even more chaotic. The most famous girl in the Shi family is Shi Jiuniang, yes, but this does not mean that other Shi family girls have no business talent! If Shi Jiuniang joins, there will definitely be other women who join, and the Shi family will definitely be in a mess at that time.

Once other women join, it will definitely have an impact on Jiang Xuehe's business. She is now in Fucheng and no one is moving because Shi Jiuniang gives her face, but if other Shi family girls also want to join the competition, then for Shi Jiuniang's sake, they are probably not willing to give themselves face.

No, she had to do something before the real turmoil happened.

Gu Siyan was relieved: "Actually, it doesn't matter if this business doesn't come to the city, the ones earned by the county town are enough for us to live." It's easier for you to open fewer branches, isn't it? ”

Jiang Xuehe was stunned, yes, when she was doing business, she just thought that it was enough to manage her own food and clothing, but now she gradually has ambitions, and when she feels that she can't do this business in Fucheng, she still finds a way to continue. But her ambition is not so big, because she has only opened two buildings now, unlike when she opened so many shops in the county and town.

In the end, you are still unwilling, right? Because she was the first to open such a building, but if it was squeezed out, someone else would open a similar one in the future, so everything she is doing now is like making clothes for others.

"Junzilou is actually somewhat similar to Bafang Bookstore, this is still for the purpose of accumulating fame, if it is defeated in this way, I am not reconciled." Jiang Xuehe sighed, "What's more, in the Junzi Building, in addition to my hard work, isn't there also your hard work?" ”

Compared with himself, in fact, Gu Siyan knows better what kind of places literati and artists like, and most of the decorations in the Junzi Building were designed by Gu Siyan. In addition, if Gu Siyan encounters any books in Hanshan Academy that can be copied from the outside world, he will also copy a copy and send it to the Junzi Building. Most of the Shanglian that embarrass people in Junzilou every ten years is thought of by Gu Siyan, and many of the articles hanging in Junzilou are also written by Gu Siyan with his new friends.

Jiang Xuehe just added some drinks and snacks to the Junzi Building, and most of the things that could really support the Junzi Building were provided by Gu Siyan. Without the Lady Building, she can split the things in the Lady Building into a pastry shop and a fat powder shop. But if there is no Junzilou, she will not be happy.

Gu Siyan couldn't help laughing: "I know that Xue Niang is all for my good, but I don't want you to work too hard for me." I used to always think that life in the world can be not for fame or profit, just for a clear conscience. But now that I think about it, if my reputation is outside, it can be regarded as a layer of protection for myself. Of course, I don't want to be that kind of fame-seeker, but I can be famous by doing some practical things, right? ”

Jiang Xuehe asked, "Then what do you mean?" ”

"Doesn't Mr. Xiyue want to start a girls' school? It's just that she doesn't have enough funds and a bad reputation, so she can't do it for a while. If you want to run a women's school, it is far from enough to rely on the accumulation of Bafang Bookstore and Junzilou. Gu Siyan said with a smile, "Although Fucheng is rich, there are also orphans. The fate of these orphans is unpredictable, if Xue Niang has enough funds in hand, it is better to build a large courtyard, take in those orphans, and find someone to teach them, regardless of men and women. In addition to those things in books, you can also teach them crafts. There are always some people who are not gifted in reading, but have other talents, and we should try to teach them according to their aptitude. Although the Shi family has made a big move now, I am afraid it will take two years to really get it up. In the past two years, Xue Niang must make good use of it. ”

Jiang Xuehe naturally has nothing to do, she was willing to help those in need. If she could, she wanted to build that place in the city. However, the land in Fucheng is too expensive, and she can't afford to buy too big, so it is better to buy land outside the city.

"Didn't I buy a hill on the outskirts of the city before? There was a flat land under the hill, and the place was not small, so I simply bought all the land and built a orphanage there to take in the orphans. As for the school, it was naturally built on that land, but it had to be built in a new house. In addition to the children in the orphanage, the children in the nearby villagers can also go to school as long as they are given restraints. I don't think there are many rich people in that area, and there is not much need for shackles. ”

Gu Siyan smiled and nodded: "It's all up to you, it's all your money anyway." ”

As soon as he said this, Jiang Xuehe felt a little distressed.

"Although we want fame, we also want money! If those children are raised, they will go directly to my shop to help, right? Yang Ermiao now gathers all the people in the dart game to cultivate his own power. Although I can trust him, I can't be completely without my own people around me! ”

Jiang Xuehe originally regarded Yang Dashu and Yang Xiaohua as his own, but who let there be another Yang Ermiao? Big trees and small flowers are not selfish, and they are honest, if there is no Yang Ermiao, there should be no two hearts in the rest of their lives. But there is a smart Yang Ermiao here, and everything has become unknown. Jiang Xuehe can trust Yang Ermiao now, but she can't be sure what the future holds.

Gu Siyan asked again: "Such an orphanage must be expensive, right?" You refuse to overcharge the villagers' bonds, how can you make money? ”

"There must be girls among the orphans, right? If it is a skillful girl, let Ah Xian and Yunlan teach them to embroider. Just let them make something simple, and then we can pay them some wages, and we can take in a group of workers with room and board. If you are particularly smart, you can be promoted to stewardship. ”

Jiang Xuehe talked and talked about the construction of the house. She had a lot of opinions about the house, and she always felt that this was not good, and that was not good. What if something happens and the kids can't stand it?

Gu Siyan couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "Although the materials I listed are not high-grade, they are not the most inferior, how can they not be used to living for orphans?" Even if I live in it for seven or eight years, I won't have any problems. ”

Although the environment of the Gu family was good back then, Gu Siyan was not doing well, and it was definitely not as good as what he had planned for Jiang Xuehe. But Jiang Xuehe felt that it was not good for children to live like this.

Jiang Xuehe frowned: "But I can't, if I live in such a place......

Gu Siyan then remembered that Jiang Xuehe was pampered since she was a child, and she really couldn't live in that kind of environment. But he didn't have the intention of perfunctory orphans, and most of the people could live in the materials and construction structures he selected.

Gu Siyan couldn't help but say: "Blame me for not being careful enough, I didn't even find out that you were so squeamish until now, so I just called you Jiao Niang." ”
