Chapter 32 The original intention of Sheng'en and hatred is not there
After discussing his plans with Liu Qingxin in detail, Shen Wenlei completely gave up the idea of walking around with the Yanjing wealthy family to pave the way for him.
She is really as Shen Hongxue said, extremely smart, and has her own plans.
If they intervene rashly, it will only be a burden to her.
There is simply no need to have any more relationships, then there is only one purpose left for their trip.
Purchase a Grange house for him and prepare a dowry.
Emperor Longqing gave her a marriage and married the third prince Zhu Lingjun as a concubine, and the dowry was less, which would definitely make people laugh and not be conducive to her gaining a foothold in Yanjing in the future.
But the Shen family did not have a good business in Yanjing, and in addition, in the past, they were quite squeezed out by Yanjing's famous families, and had to curl up in Xicheng for a few businesses, specializing in providing daily needs for civilians.
But how can this kind of cumbersome business and meager profits be suitable to make a dowry for the princess Liu Qingxin?
So, after the three of them discussed, they decided to hire a person who had nothing to do with the Shen family to help in the bustling market, and the shop with a good location and scale was also available.
Then, the original goods are sold, new goods are added, and the shopkeeper is sent by the family to engage in business.
Anyway, when Liu Qingxin marries into the Three Princes' Mansion, these shops will be equivalent to the property of the Three Princes' Mansion.
Thinking about Yanjing, those wealthy families, how dare they provoke Zhu Lingjun, a person with the name of "evil star", and then make things difficult for the shop.
"I think it's a good shop."
"Xiangyang, the door is also spacious, and it is not a problem to park a dozen carriages."
Even if you want to hire someone to help you buy the shop, you need to choose the place you like.
Therefore, Shen Hongxue and his entourage took advantage of the fact that many shops were not open in the first month, got off the carriage in Yanjing City, and walked to the downtown area to wander around.
All the way through the downtown area, they have already met seven or eight shops, at this time, they are standing in the ninth room, feeling satisfied with the door of the shop, and judging its quality.
"This is suitable for opening a silk village."
"Bring the latest fabrics from the south of the Yangtze River to the next level, and you won't be worried about selling them for a while."
Shen Hongxue nodded, acknowledging his father's evaluation, bowed his head, made a charcoal pen, and put a short record of his thoughts on the booklet he was holding in his hand.
"The shops that I took back before, the shopkeeper, are unbearable."
"In the marriage, only mothers-in-law and maids are allowed, and there is no one, so as to save the birth of those Xiao Xiaojuniors with bad intentions, it will be bad for her stability."
Once bitten by a snake, he was afraid of the well rope for ten years.
Although, the maid named Cui'er had been beaten to death by the Bi family, cut off her head, and sent to the Shen family to make amends.
But in Shen Hongxue's opinion, this is a little too cheap for her.
His cousin, gentle and simple, rescued her from the hard work and treated her like a sister, but she wanted to put her to death for the sake of Xiao Xiang, what she shouldn't have gotten for herself.
This kind of person is just beaten to death with a stick, how can it be enough to pay for his sins?
If it weren't for her cousin's deep blessings, he happened to meet him and protect her halfway, and now she has a life!
"Will it be unruly to only accompany the mother-in-law to marry?"
"Over there in the Third Prince's Mansion, shouldn't you give that girl a light heart because of this matter, and be accused of being narrow-minded and jealous?"
Shen Wenlei only heard that the third prince Zhu Lingjun treated Liu lightly very well, but he didn't see it in person.
In his mind, the so-called excellent is only better than others.
The other party, after all, is a prince.
Royal people, how can there be no temper and bad face!
"No, it won't."
"I have already consulted with him on this matter."
"He thought my advice was excellent."
Shen Hongxue's attitude was resolute, and she had no room to turn around, and she did not leave Shen Wenlei behind.
He will no longer put Liu Qingxin in danger, not the slightest.
Everyone has self-interest.
A woman who has never been married will always think about finding a good support for the rest of her life, and climbing into the master's bed is a shortcut.
And the mother-in-law is different.
They have all been married, and their families, as well as their children and husbands, at most think about how to curry favor with their masters, how to earn more money to subsidize their families.
As for the idea of having an affair with the master, even if they are willing, it is impossible to look down on the master, especially the person who Liu Qingxin wants to marry is still a prince.
Everything that can be solved with silver is not a problem.
The Shen family, the most important thing is silver.
The existing silver of the Shen family is not enough for Liu Qingxin to spend, and he can also earn it.
"If Your Highness doesn't have an opinion, it's okay."
Since ancient times, as a maid for dowry, there have only been so few uses.
If you are lucky, give birth to a son and a half daughter, you may be able to be raised to the status of a concubine, and if you are not good, you can only be a roommate, and when you are old and decrepit, you will no longer have blue eyes, and you will be the master of the master, and you will be married to the people in the house.
Because he has had an affair with his master, he is not complete, and for the rest of his life, he will be disdainful and abused by his husband's family, and even if he has the reputation of a main house, he can't enjoy the respect that the main house should have, and the only hope is to be able to give birth at about the same time as the hostess, and ask the heroine for the grace of the old friendship, and become the nurse of the little master.
Therefore, most of the dowry maids will "exert their strength" in the direction of becoming the male master's concubine, the smarter ones will choose, and the female protagonist will be of one heart and one mind, and the stupid ones will think about some things that should not be obtained by themselves, and even, plot against the female master.
"The former nurse of the light-hearted girl, do you want to bring it to her?"
"That old servant is a loyal and sensible person, but because of the previous time, the light-hearted girl was deceived by others and alienated from her, so she was sent to work in Zhuangzi."
"That's it, she has been doing her best to spread the news to her family, and she has never complained."
Shen Wenfeng walked back and forth three times at the door of the shop they fancied, and made a rough measurement of the span of the shop, so as to deduce the size of it, "There must be so many people around her, otherwise, if she is bullied in her husband's house in the future, there will be no one who reports to the family for help, so it will be inappropriate." ”
"There can be no people and industries that would make people think of her identity."
"As long as you are willing to give up the money, the loyal people will not be difficult to find, the big deal is to pinch the family members of those mothers-in-law in their hands, so that they have bad intentions, and they dare not risk their lives."
People will always become different from before after experiencing something, especially suffering and suffering.
Shen Hongxue talked about his plans casually, and if it was in the past, if someone said such things in front of him, he would definitely be blinded and even protested.
The world is unpredictable, but after all, you have lived the most disdainful life, my son.
Do you remember how disgusted and alienated you were many years ago, when faced with me who was like you at this time?
Shen Wenfeng was stunned for a moment, leaned less, shook his head gently, and fell his gaze back to the ground in front of him, without saying a word, he measured the shop that he had measured three times, and measured it again, "This shop is suitable, if you do a silk village, the first floor is enough to receive ordinary guests, the second floor is set up a compartment to receive people with status, and the third floor, put two tailors with good craftsmanship, OEM ready-to-wear, and you can also go to the house to measure the body when each mansion needs it." ”
"The tailor in the shop, first make the housekeeper make a list out, I will assess and choose, it must be a child, if you have been married, you need to leave your family in Zhouzhuang, and if you are not married, you will leave your father and mother and brother."
"The monthly salary can be given higher."
"Good embroiderer, prepare two too."
"In the future, she will be the third princess, and the regulation of clothes must not be bad, otherwise, it will be easy to fall into the hands of others."
"When I have leisure, I will explain to her, and let her give all the clothes that should be given to her subordinates."
"Third uncle, you ask someone to find out, my sister's previous nurse is still alive, if she is still alive, take it over and marry her, like other people who accompany the marriage, the family is in Zhouzhuang, and arrange errands."
Shen Hongxue was already careful, and at this time, when he was engrossed, he was naturally more able to do a drop of water.
He slowly looked up, glanced at the shop, which his father had measured repeatedly, and then lowered his head again, and began to write and draw on the pamphlet in his hand.
This shop is really good.
The layout is new, and it is a leather business, so I think that the warehouse should not be small and dirty, and it is difficult to tidy up.
"It's still there."
"A few years ago, I had two sons who sent local products to the family."
A few years ago, my husband was sick and exhausted his family's savings, and he owed a foreign debt of dozens of taels of silver, so that his two sons, the eldest of whom was over twenty, had not yet married a wife."
Speaking of the daughter's nurse who had long since died, Shen Wenlei couldn't help but sigh.
As the saying goes, human life is destined, and it is useless to think wildly.
Isn't that the case?
The mother-in-law, but a kind-hearted and gracious person, but her life was not good, first the little master died, and then the person passed the age of being a nurse, and got the money he gave to the family to go back to his hometown, which should have been able to enjoy his old age, but he never thought that he encountered the unfortunate thing that his husband was infected with the disease, and even the family involved was ......
"Ask her if she would like to sell her two sons to the Shen family."
"If I want, I can help her pay off her foreign debts, and then give her two sons, in Zhouzhuang, arrange an errand where she can learn the trade."
Ascend Mien, fight Mi Qiu.
This old principle, which made Shen Hongxue sneer at before, has become more and more day by day with the passage of time, making him feel that what he said is true.
In order for a person to work hard, there are two points, which are indispensable.
One is to let him get the benefits and be grateful to Dade, but he can't, he gives too much at one time, so that he thinks he has confidence and is greedy.
The other is to hold his weaknesses and lifeblood in his hands, so that he is afraid, does not dare to think about wrongdoing, and has to rely on perfection.
