Chapter 280: Half a Teapot Shop
Soon it was time for lunch, Tian Ruxiang looked at a large table of delicacies, and swallowed her saliva unconsciously, but she didn't dare to move her chopsticks, and couldn't help but look at Tian Ruyue.
Who knew that Tian Ruyue stood up and took the ginseng soup from the hand of one of the maids; "You eat first, and I'll go and serve my husband first."
"Isn't there a maid? How do you serve in person? Tian Ruxiang asked suspiciously. Out of the corner of his eye, he swept to the hoarfrost who was standing still.
Tian Ruyue glanced at her deeply. "I like to serve in person."
Tian Duofu, who had been silent, suddenly asked: "When you finish feeding the food, it's cold, can't you wait until you finish eating?" ”
Tian Ruyue smiled at Tian Duofu: "Soon, you eat first." He took the ginseng soup into the inner room, sat on the edge of the bed, and reached out to pinch Wei Jin's arm, "Drink it while there is no one." ”
Wei Jin opened his eyes and sat up to take the ginseng soup.
Tian Ruyue watched him drink it and suddenly asked, "You have nosebleeds from drinking ginseng soup every day, why don't I eat white rice porridge with them tomorrow?" ”
Wei Jin drank a few sips, returned the empty bowl to Tian Ruyue and shook his head at her, "At the level of 'serious illness' now, I need ginseng to hang my life." But he was very happy in his heart, and his daughter-in-law knew that she felt sorry for him.
"Whatever you want." Tian Ruyue stood up with the empty bowl, "I'll take my younger brothers and sisters out for a walk in the afternoon, and you will continue to lie down by yourself." He turned and walked out.
After lunch, White Frost cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks.
Tian Ruxiang looked at Tian Ruyue and suddenly asked, "Third sister, I haven't seen my brother-in-law yet, is he lying in the inner room?" Can we go and see? ”
"What's there to see if you're unconscious?" Tian Ruyue refused, "I'll introduce you to each other when he wakes up." Stand up, "I'll take you to the streets in the afternoon, will you go?" ”
"Go, go!" Tian Ruxiang happily responded.
Tian Ruyue only brought Bai Shuang with her on this trip, but the guards still brought four, and the brothers and sisters sat in a carriage.
Tian Ruxiang lifted the curtain and saw four guards riding on tall horses and protecting the carriage, and she was excited.
After getting out of the carriage, Tian Ruyue handed Tian Duofu a bag of silver given by Mrs. Lian, "Big brother, you take them around, I'll go to the pawnshop with Baishuang to have a look, and when you're done, go there to find me." ”
Tian Duofu once accompanied Tian Ruyue to the pawnshop to do things, nodded and left with Tian Ruxiang and Tian Duocai.
Tian Ruyue took Baishuang to the pawnshop. I used to go to be a thing, but this time I went as the owner and got the warm hospitality of the shopkeeper and his buddies.
Shopkeeper Yu learned that the Wei family gave the pawnshop to Tian Ruyue, and asked hesitantly, "How does the young lady plan to run this pawnshop?" ”
Tian Ruyue stood in the center and looked at the entire pawnshop, only the east side was used as the counter of the pawnshop, and the other three walls were empty, so she pointed to the empty walls and said: "Don't worry about the shopkeeper, I won't interfere in the business of your pawnshop, I only need these walls." ”
Seeing that the shopkeeper was puzzled, he asked him for paper and a pen. While drawing a floor plan, he explained: "The counter of your pawnshop has not been moved, and a hollow and carved wooden door has been built in the middle to separate it, and the walls on three sides of this half have been repainted with white [river crabs].
Depending on the length, width and height of the walls, I plan to ask a carpenter to build three treasure shelves that can be used to hold my teapots and sculptures. A set of tables, chairs and benches for drinking tea are placed in front.
Oh yes, give me two more rooms in the backyard, one for my eldest brother to live in, and the other for me to use as a pot with him. ”
Shopkeeper Yu originally thought that the pawnshop would cease to exist, but seeing that she didn't touch the pawnshop at all, but only used the other half of the empty space, he immediately nodded and responded on the spot and proposed: "Lao Yu knows a carpenter with exquisite craftsmanship, and the creation of a treasure rack can be handed over to Lao Yu to do." As for the money, you don't have to worry about it, this pawnshop is now yours to take it off the account. After saying that, he told the man to take the account book and show it to her.
Tian Ruyue thought about it and agreed, but refused to look at the account book, "Don't use suspicious people, don't doubt the use of people, since the Wei family uses you, I naturally believe you." However, you can still send the income from this pawnshop to the Wei Mansion according to the custom, and you don't need to show it to me. ”
Shopkeeper Yu was surprised, "Can ...... Isn't the pawnshop owned by you today? ”
The white frost on the side also stared at Tian Ruyue in surprise.
Tian Ruyue smiled and looked around, "I'm already very satisfied with opening a teapot shop in half a shop, the Wei family has a big business, and there are too many places to use money, what was done before, it will be the same in the future." ”
Shopkeeper Yu, who originally only acted according to the rules, looked at Tian Ruyue again with a solemn look in his eyes, and repeatedly promised that he would get things done according to her instructions.
"Thank you." After Tian Ruyue finished speaking, she left with Baishuang and the guards.
Because the time was still short, Tian Duofu and them did not wait for them, Tian Ruyue was looking for people while shopping, which was nothing more than the shops of Yinlou and Buzhuang.
Finally, Tian Duofu soup was found in front of a jewelry store, but Tian Ruxiang found that Tian Ruxiang had an argument with Tian Duofu again.
Tian Ruyue listened to it when she walked over, and it turned out that Tian Ruxiang took a fancy to a pair of bracelets, and Tian Duofu was too expensive to pay the silver.
Seeing Tian Ruxiang aggressively accusing Tian Duofu, but Tian Duofu didn't say a word, Tian Ruyue walked over and stared at Tian Ruxiang with sharp eyes.
Tian Ruxiang instantly complained with a rake, "Third sister, the eldest brother is too picky, I took a fancy to a pair of bracelets and didn't have a few taels of silver, but he refused to buy it, causing me to be ridiculed by other female guests." Give me the money, and I'll buy it myself." ”
"Huh!" Tian Ruyue sneered twice, "It's not a few taels of silver, right?" So how much can you earn a month on your own? ”
Tian Ruxiang shrank her neck and didn't dare to speak for an instant, but her eyes stared at the ground resentfully.
Tian Duofu stretched out his hand and pulled Tian Ruyue, asking her not to teach Tian Ruxiang a lesson outside.
Tian Ruyue turned her head to look at him, "Big brother, how much money did they spend?" ”
Tian Duofu glanced at Tian Ruxiang, who was slowly moving away, and then replied: "Xiang'er bought a jade pendant of one or two silver, a butterfly silver hairpin of one hundred and fifty Wen, a silver bracelet of one hundred and twenty Wen, a purse of thirty-five Wen, and a handkerchief of twenty Wen. ”
As Tian Duofu reported the figures, Tian Ruxiang's head drooped lower and lower, but the resentment in his eyes became deeper and deeper. It cost less than two taels of silver in total! Why let her lose face in front of her subordinates!
Tian Ruyue raised her eyebrows after hearing this.
It cost less than two taels of silver in total, and the eldest brother's strict control is indeed a bit picky.
Seeing Tian Duocai, who was eating with a sugar gourd in his left hand and a meat bun in his right hand, he reached out and rubbed his head and asked Tian Duofu: "How much did the little brother spend?" ”
"Less than ten cents." Tian Duofu replied.
