When Qin Yining heard this, he couldn't help but look at the Duchess of Dingguo. She didn't know what kind of place Zhaoyunji was, but in order to give Zhaoyunsi to her, her grandmother actually exchanged Liangtian and a shop with her eldest cousin. It's no wonder that when my grandmother mentioned it, the cousins looked a little different.

Sun was also a little surprised.

She really couldn't imagine it, but she was just a girl who had just come home, and she was not familiar with her mother's family, how could she be so likable? can also let his mother be so generous.

"Mother, we appreciate your kindness, but this Zhaoyun Division is really not suitable for her to run a girl who doesn't know anything, as I just said, there are so many dignitaries and dignitaries in the Zhaoyun Division, if you really offend anyone, it's not a joke. Besides, she just came back, she hasn't recognized all the big characters, where is she worthy of running any industry, there is no shortage of her food and clothing in the prime minister's house, and she didn't see her grandmother give silver to the shop when she went home, why do you want our family to be so generous. ”

The first half of the words were still like that, but the second half of the words made the Duchess of Dingguo frown, and everyone present was slightly embarrassed.

Ding Guogong was reluctant to participate in these things, so when he heard this, he called a few cousins out and left the warm pavilion to the female dependents.

As soon as he saw his father leave like this, Sun realized that he might have said something that Dingguo Gong didn't like to hear, Dingguo Gong had been this habit since he was a child, whenever their brothers and sisters made a mistake, Dingguo Gong would avoid it, leaving space for Dingguo Duchess to perform.

As soon as the men left, the Duchess of Dingguo really opened her mouth in a deep voice: "What you just said is inappropriate." How did you learn these comparison tricks when you go out these days? As a mother, don't you know what to teach by word and deed? I'm not afraid that your daughter and you have learned to be strong in those pinching the top children, and they don't know how to be in harmony with others! ”

Sun was not convinced, and lowered his head and remained silent.

Qin Huining listened to it, but her face was red and white for a while, and when the Duchess of Dingguo said this, wasn't she referring to Sang and scolding Huai!

The eldest aunt and the second aunt saw that the Duchess of Dingguo was angry, and hurriedly persuaded her: "Mother, don't be angry, Sister Han is just a child's heart, and her heart is straightforward." ”

"A child's heart is straightforward and fast-talking? She's in her forties! I still don't know how to grow! The Duchess of Dingguo rubbed her forehead and reprimanded: "You have forgotten what I told you that day!" ”

Seeing that his mother was really angry, Sun felt aggrieved but didn't dare to contradict it, and bowed his head to admit his mistake.

Duchess Dingguo took two deep breaths, and then said: "You can't carry it clearly, it's a shame that you have this good life, and there is Sister Yi'er by your side, who understands things." In the future, you will also have more snacks, don't believe what anyone says, and if there is a big event in your Qin Mansion, you can discuss it with Sister Yi more. I also believe that Sister Yi is running a handle, you are not capable, is your daughter not? Don't forget whose daughter Sister Yi'er is! ”

Sun's quail was like a trained quail, and he didn't dare to gasp, although his heart was uneven, but he had some inexplicable and honorable feelings. If you can't keep it, Qin Yining will follow her father's intelligence?

Qin Yining saw that her grandmother was teaching her daughter, and she didn't have the right to intervene, so she could only be in a hurry. Seeing that the topic had finally come to an end, he was busy with his eldest aunt and second aunt to persuade him.

The Duchess of Dingguo's anger was not directed at others, in order to avoid embarrassment to everyone, there were steps and went down.

"Sister Yi'er, you just came back, you don't know much about Zhaoyunsi's place, I'll ask Bao's mother to tell you what business Zhaoyunsi does. In addition, later, let Bao's mother order the account books and documents on the shop to send you home. ”

"Yes." Qin Yining should be well-behaved.

Mother Bao smiled and curtsied, "Girl, please come with the slave." ”

"There's a labor bag mother." Qin Yining avoided her salute and returned half a salute.

The two politely left the warm pavilion and walked out.

Duchess Dingguo and the two aunts looked at their figures and smiled with satisfaction.

As soon as she saw what Sun was whispering to Qin Huining, Duchess Dingguo felt a headache again, and couldn't help but start the great cause of training women again: "I think Sister Yi is a person who knows how to advance and retreat. This granddaughter is the most in line with me, you ...... back."

**

Not to mention that Sun was taught those clichés by the Duchess of Dingguo.

It is said that Qin Yining followed Bao's mother to the yard where no one was there to talk.

"Girl, the origin of Zhaoyun Division, you must not know it, right?"

"Exactly, my mother told me, what kind of business is this?"

Mother Bao smiled and said, "Zhaoyun Division here is somewhat similar to the Jiaofang Division of the previous dynasty, but it is different. The girl should know that some ministers are convicted, which will bring the family down, right? ”

"Yes." Qin Yining nodded.

Bao's mother said: "Some ministers have been convicted, beheaded, exiled and other crimes, and the female dependents of the family, whether they are eighty years old or three years old*, are all official tricks. ”

"Yes."

"In the past, the court ran its own workshop, and these officials were all filled into the workshop, which can be regarded as each performing its own duties to see their ability, and the older ones couldn't do the work on the table, so they assigned some kitchens, firewood rooms, sprinkling and sweeping, running halls and other work, and the young girls were temporarily raised, and those who were of the same age would be sent to the front of the workshop to entertain guests."

"Don't look at the implementation of etiquette in this dynasty, but those dignitaries and nobles go to the church, and they also like to select the family members of those former colleagues to be humiliating. Most people don't count the silver, and credit is a trend, so the teaching workshop has been losing money. ”

"And such people!" Qin Yining was dumbfounded when he heard this.

Bao's mother smiled: "In the world, who doesn't have it." This workshop was originally the Emperor's business, how could the Emperor Taishang's old man allow his business to always lose money? So in a fit of rage, he closed the workshop, and he couldn't find someone to recover the money he had lost, so he was all lost. Those prisoners have no place to deal with them, and they can't help but raise them, and then the people below gave an idea, and we have our current Zhaoyun Division. ”

"The Emperor Taishang reopened the workshop, but the workshop no longer does business with the outside world, and simply raises the guilty wives of those big families. And Zhaoyun Division is responsible for running the business on the surface, but the employment of all industries under Zhaoyun Division, except for a few shopkeepers, must be leased from the teaching workshop. ”

Qin Yining understood as soon as he heard this, nodded and said: "This idea is really amazing, in this way, the Emperor Taishang's sect raises these prisoner women, and rents out the prisoner women, and will not lose money." And Zhaoyun Division also has to hire people to hire people around the business, and hiring these prisoner women, not to mention labor, is a major business feature. ”

"Mrs. Zhen is right, the girl is smart, and she can understand it at all. To tell the truth, this idea was given to the Emperor by the old man of the old Dingguo, and as soon as the Emperor was happy, he rewarded the Zhaoyun Division to the old Dingguo Gong to operate, and it was passed on to the present and handed over to the uncle. However, you know the uncle's temperament. ”

Speaking of this, Bao's mother sighed: "Originally, the industry operated by Zhaoyun Division had two restaurants, two inns, and two brothels. But the uncle was stubborn and couldn't see those filthy things, so he closed the two brothels as soon as he got started. ”

Therefore, now the Zhaoyun Division, which has been passed on to the girl, has three restaurants and two inns, and the uncle renovated the original brothel and opened the restaurant. The business is booming. However, because of the war over the years, the uncle has no intention of running it, and now there is still a brothel property that is idle. ”

At this point, Qin Yining has completely understood the origin of Zhaoyun Division.

No wonder the Sun family tried their best to oppose it.

Now Zhaoyun Division has three restaurants, two inns, and an immovable property, which is a lot of silver!

Not to mention the property, let's just say how much silver does the restaurant and inn that are making a profit now cost every year? It's all her own money all of a sudden?

Also, it is a major feature that Zhaoyun Si rents prisoners from the royal workshop, so everyone in the restaurant inn is a prisoner. These prisoners may have been a certain old lady of everyone in the past, or they may have been a beautiful daughter, and maybe the people who poured tea in the inn were all the masters of the cards in a certain inner house in the past!

Although these people were convicted by the family, in Qin Yining's opinion, the origin of these miscellaneous servants was slightly bigger......

"Girl, is there anything you don't understand?" Mother Bao looked at Qin Yining frowning and pondering, and couldn't help asking.

Qin Yining shook his head with a smile and said, "If my grandmother really gave me a generous gift, although I deserve it, I will definitely not live up to my grandfather and grandmother's hard work." I will definitely make a good living and make good use of the connections. ”

Bao's mother was shocked when she heard this, her eyes flashed, and she nodded three times and said "Okay".

"The girl is so smart, and she really lives up to Madame's expectations, so the old slave is relieved."

The two went back and chatted for a while, and seeing that it was not early, the Sun family took Qin Yining and Qin Huining to leave.

Bao's mother replied to the Duchess of Dingguo word for word the conversation just now.

When the Duchess of Dingguo heard this, she asked, "Did she really say that?" ”

"yes. The cousin girl has a seven-trick exquisite heart, and it is clear at one point, the old slave only said the origin of Zhaoyun Division, and before she could elaborate, she already understood the importance of it, and she really deserved to be the daughter of 'Zhi Pan'an'! "Bao's mother is full of praise.

The Duchess of Dingguo also laughed when she heard this.

"Old lady, uncle is here." The maidservant girl outside lifted the warm curtain, and saw Sun Yu walking in quickly, and the Duchess of the Kingdom saluted.

"Grandmother."

"Brother Ming, come and sit down, warm and warm."

Sun Yu moved himself and sat down next to the Duchess of Dingguo, and asked straight to the point: "Grandmother, I just heard that something happened to Zhaoyunsi in the past two days, did you already know?" ”

Hearing this, the Duchess of Dingguo smiled and nodded: "Yes, I know." ”

"My cousin is new to the city, and I don't understand the crux of it, so you just don't deal with it and give Zhaoyun Si to her directly, is it really good?"
