Chapter 47: Learning to be a housekeeper

Fortunately, this granddaughter-in-law is a hard-working and smart person, and she is also pleased.

Jingyang married a good daughter-in-law, and when the case of Beidi Liangcao is resolved, the young couple will be able to be together, I believe that by that time, the Xuanguo Mansion will definitely stand, and she can be regarded as worthy of that old man.

"Speaking of studying, Steward Sun of the Xuanguo Mansion has been managing the storefronts and shops in the mansion, and if you want to find a master, he is the best candidate."

"Steward Sun is the housekeeper of the Guogong Mansion, if he teaches me, will things in this mansion be messed up? Why don't you let someone else teach me? ”

Mrs. Zhao pulled Lu Qingrong's hand, "Qingrong, Steward Sun is a good hand, if you want to find a master, of course you have to find the best master, you don't have to worry about the things in this mansion will be messy, and those stewards and mothers-in-law, they will take care of the affairs in the house, not to mention me." ”

The old lady also nodded, and finally under the persuasion of the two, Lu Qingrong finally nodded.

Soon after returning to the residence, Steward Sun came over.

"See Mrs. Shiko."

"Steward Sun, hurry up!"

Lu Qinglong smiled and asked Poria to serve tea, and then asked Steward Sun to sit down.

People say that there are seven officials in front of the prime minister.

The same is true of the Xuanguo Mansion, this Sun Steward is full of heaven, about forty years old, with vigorous steps, although he is respectful between his eyebrows and eyes, but there is no humility.

Sure enough, he is the housekeeper of the Xuanguo Mansion.

Just one glance makes people see that the bearing is extraordinary, such a person is placed outside, and he must be a master.

When Lu Qingrong was looking at Steward Sun, Steward Sun was also looking at Lu Qingrong.

Steward Sun also saw Lu Qingrong often when he walked around the house, but the two did not have much communication.

I only know that this Mrs. Shizi has captured the hearts of all masters with her cooking skills, and it is not difficult to hear the good impression of this Mrs. Shizi by listening to the words of those maids and mothers-in-law.

This time, the old lady and Mrs. Zhao openly and secretly asked him to assist Mrs. Shizi in her studies, and he should do his best.

After eating two pieces of pastry, Steward Sun showed a look of surprise on his face.

The craftsmanship of this lady is really powerful, and the pastries are not like ordinary people can make them.

No wonder the lord and the lady like this lady so much.

"Steward Sun, I won't be polite to you, presumably when you came, my mother-in-law had already told you about me."

"Back to Mrs. Shizi's words, the old slave already knows, and the old slave will definitely assist Mrs. Shizi and help Mrs. Shizi learn to take care of household affairs."

"That's good."

……

I studied with Steward Sun for an afternoon.

Lu Qingrong finally sorted out the little dowry she had left.

According to Steward Sun's words, her shops are all in the north of the city, and there are few profitable shops anywhere, and most of them are loss-making.

Moreover, on the surface, these shops are afraid that they have also closed their doors.

If you want not to lose money, the most suitable way is to sell the shop, so as not to lose more in the future.

After Lu Qingrong listened to Steward Sun's words, he had a new idea for these shops.

She has four shops in her hands, all of which are located in the north of the city.

In Kyoto during the Dayu Dynasty, wealthy families generally lived in the south of the city, and few wealthy families lived in the north of the city, where ordinary people generally lived.

There is no profit in opening a shop in that place.

Perhaps, this is the reason why these shops stayed, because they were not worth it but stayed.

Lu Qingrong thought about it, maybe she could open up these four shops and make a food stall or self-help or something.

The place in the north of the city is a place where ordinary people or poor people can live, and if you open a restaurant such as a food stall, it will definitely be very popular.

After all, there are many poor people and few rich people in this world, isn't it?

Maybe you can help the people there and improve their living conditions.

She can't manage the shop, but when it comes to making things to eat, she is very skilled.

It would be a waste to open a pastry shop in that part of the north of the city, so it would be better to open some ordinary canteens so that the poor could also eat.

In this case, you may be able to make a lot of money.

According to Steward Sun's words, although this shop looks quite big, because of the geographical environment, even if it is sold, it will not be able to sell it at a good price.

It's better to let her give it a try, and maybe she can make some money.

Lu Qingrong had this idea, and said to Mrs. Zhao on the second day, and left the house.

"Young lady, what are we doing in this place? The north of the city is generally a place where the poor live, and if you want to do something, Bihe is willing to serve. ”

Bihe has some punches and kicks on weekdays, so Lu Qingrong will take her with him every time he goes out.

This time, Lu Qingrong went out, and only took her and Poria with her.

"We're here to take a look at the shop, so we can learn quickly?"

Lu Qingrong said as he walked towards the front, his feet on the muddy brick-paved road.

It had just rained last night, and there was still some muddy water on the way, but it was okay.

Poria and Bihe glanced at each other and could only follow tightly.

Soon, Lu Qingrong came to her four shops.

Sure enough, just as she thought, the shop had closed down.

There were beggars begging for food in front of the door.

It seems that this situation has been going on for a long time, which means that the shop has been closed for a long time.

"Miss, isn't this the dowry shop left by Madame? How did it come to be like this? ”

Poria was a little stunned, although she suffered a lot with Lu Qingrong's side, she was a little better off than the beggars outside.

So I was really shocked to see those beggars begging in front of the door.

When Bihe saw those beggars, she immediately stepped forward to protect Lu Qingrong.

"Don't be so nervous two of you, just some beggars." Lu Qingrong didn't dislike those beggars, but took out a string of copper coins and put them in the bowl.

"Thank you, ma'am, thank you, ma'am."

The four beggars kept nodding towards Lu Qingrong and thanking him.

The beggars thanked her, but they did not rush forward, as if they were afraid of soiling her clothes.

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me, I have a few questions I want to ask you, if you answer well, this string of copper plates in my hand is yours."

The eyes of several beggars suddenly lit up, but they also saw that the clothes on Lu Qingrong's body were not something they could touch, and they just nodded at her, indicating that they must know everything.

Lu Qingrong smiled with satisfaction.

"How long have you been beggars in front of these shops?"
