Things seem to be going well. Less than three days. Uncle Jin Quangui came to the door. He received an order from above, and was in a hurry, when he heard that his brother-in-law Lu Yougui had a good relationship with the Zhuangtou wood steward of Zhuangzi in Hejian Mansion, so he immediately ran over to ask for help.

Chun Ying kept talking about the advantages of Zhuangzi in Hejian Mansion for several days, such as the large houses in the place, the lively bazaar, the simple residents, the easy work, and the good money, and repeatedly reminded her mother that her uncle's bad reputation had spread all over the back streets, and it was impossible to find a good errand in the two mansions, and it was just right to start over when she went to a farther place.

Lu's mother was brainwashed by her, and she also felt that it was more advantageous for her younger brother to receive this errand, living in Zhuangzi, maybe not as convenient as the capital, but without the pressure of the master, it was easier, as long as you have the ability, it is possible to buy a house and land outside to be a rich man. She automatically made up for her own family during the Li Jiazhuang period, the Cao steward who made a fortune, and the Lu family, which was prosperous, and felt that her brothers could live a good life. Therefore, when I heard that my brother said that he did not want to go. I was a little unhappy.

She said: "Our family Chun'er is so good to talk about it, and you got this good errand, what do you have to be disgusted with?!" Could it be that you really want to be in charge of Dongfu?! Chun'er is so decent in front of the second old lady, and we are not in charge, so don't daydream! ”

Jin Quangui was a little uncomfortable when he heard that it was Chunying who gave him an errand, and when he heard the back, he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "How dare I think so?!" Originally, I was a little confused, thinking that I could still use my nephew's daughter's face to ask for a light job, but I didn't expect that the housekeepers in Dongfu didn't care about it at all, and directly beat me back. I've also thought about it, with my ability, it's enough to be honest in the tea room, but the third young grandmother spoke, and no one dared to use me. The errand commission of Hejian Mansion is too far away, and I would rather go out every day to find odd jobs and earn a few dollars to support my family, as I am now, and it is better than someone with a background who has left his hometown, and he can't even see his relatives. Eldest sister, are you willing to give up your brother?! ”

When Lu's mother heard this, she was also a little soft-hearted, but her mind had been instilled with the concept that "Hejian Mansion Zhuangzi's errand is very good", and it was not so easy to reverse: "Although I am reluctant, I can't watch you idle at home and do nothing." Not a single money can be returned. You always say that the whole family of five is supported by your wife, you have no confidence in speaking, but the manly husband is always bullied by his wife. Now that you have an errand and a lot of money a month, why don't you go? Don't talk about going out to find odd jobs, you've been at home for a few months, but have you ever looked for it?! As soon as I went out, I ran to the gambling house, not to mention making money, I could lose a few dollars less, and it was the creation of the whole family! ”

Jin Quangui was blackened by her and argued: "I also have a time to win!" ”

"It's a pity to win less and lose more!" Mother Lu said bitterly, "Brother Quan, you are not young, and your son is almost at the age of being an errand, how can you go on like this?!" This errand, I asked Chun'er to inquire in person, it is really good, although it is far away from the capital, but without the pressure of the master, it is much easier. (No pop-up ads) Zhuang head wood steward, and we have some friendship. Our eldest son-in-law is even more friendly with him. I have already asked Son-in-law Lu to tell you, the carpenter will take care of you more for the sake of our family. You take the whole family with you, there is a yard for you to live in, the work is easy, your wife can still get an errand, and take the women in the village to do needlework for the girls in the house, which can be regarded as a head. You two monthly money, food and clothing and the share of the public school, there are rewards for the New Year's holidays, plus there is a Zhuangzi, and it is far away, the head of the Zhuang, each has another entry, you are familiar with people, you can also get a piece of the pie, much stronger than the capital! Besides, there is a school there, let the nephew go to study for a year or two, recognize a few words, and return to the Hou Mansion in the future, whether it is a scholar or a buddy, it is easier to be promoted than others. The niece and daughter simply raised it in the village, and when she reached her age, she begged for a grace and married a rich man outside to be a grandmother, wouldn't it be better than being a girl in the house? I've planned it for you, but you don't want to go to a place that is far away, which really makes me sad! ”

She lowered her head and wiped her tears, but Jin Quangui was overjoyed when she heard it: "What my sister said is true?!" Don't coax me, right? ”

"Which coaxes you? I'm also a person who has been on the farm. I don't know what's in it yet? The farther away from the master's house, the more comfortable you are, as long as the annual rent is not bad, who cares what you do in private?! How many village owners have made a fortune, and although the overseers are a little worse, they can still earn a piece of the family. If you weren't my own brother, I wouldn't have told you these things, so don't let it out. Remember! You have to be a good steward and be diligent, and you will have your own benefits! ”

Jin Quangui's heart moved, after drinking two sips of tea, he couldn't sit still anymore, got up to go home to discuss with his wife, and repeatedly instructed his sister before leaving: "You must tell Lu's son-in-law that you must not miss my benefits!" ”

Mother Lu naturally agreed, and asked, "Do you owe money to others?" Don't ask people to chase after the village, you will ruin your reputation, and people will not look for you if they have benefits. ”

Jin Quangui was anxious to leave, and he didn't have the patience to say too much: "It's just three or five taels of silver, eldest sister, you can just give it back for me, that's just plucking hair for you." After that, he hurriedly left, leaving Lu Lu and his mother stomped her feet at the door: "Whose hair is so thick?!" Are you really a rich man?! ”

Chunying leaned against the door of the room, looking at her uncle's back. (Marshmallow) smiled coldly. This time, it's up to you to bother us again!

Jin Quangui finally took his wife and children to Hejian Mansion with his old mother. As soon as he arrived at the place, there was a cleaned yard for him to live in, and there were five or six houses in total, although the furniture was simple, but the place was large and ventilated. Remembering that the head of the village was an acquaintance of his brother-in-law and nephew and son-in-law, he flattered him with a smile on his face, and inquired about his errand and just watched the farmer plant the land and flowers, and the field was not too big, so he felt that he had taken advantage of it.

Lu Renyi sent him to arrive on two orders from his mother-in-law and wife. Seeing that he was very satisfied, he just smiled, went to the woodsteward and his wife to have a drink, discussed it secretly, borrowed it for another night, and rushed back to the capital the next morning. When she came to Lu's mother, she naturally said how happy and satisfied Jin Quangui was, how comfortable the place to live was, how easy the work content was, etc., and Lu's mother completely put her mind at ease. As for what Lu Renyi said to his wife after returning home, that's another matter. Chunying went to her sister's house to play with her little nephew for a few days, and she was in a very good mood.

solved the trouble of my uncle's house, and the errand on my father's side also took shape.

Lu Yougui bought some of the things needed for the fourth young master's marriage for the East Mansion, and since he opened the door, he has become more and more comfortable, and the one hundred and fifty horses, as well as the curtains, curtains, tables and chairs, etc., should be furnished, and the silk flowers and flowers worn by the daughters-in-law on the day of the day have been completed in less than a month. The second wife was not only happy, but also paid off all the money, and asked him to bring the family over for a wedding wine when the day came.

Lu Yougui was excited in his heart, and he heard Mr. Xu say that the cook at the wedding banquet had not yet been found, and the people who were used to it at home were always a little worse when making a big banquet, and he remembered that he also recognized several big restaurants in the capital, and he was quite moved. But when I looked down and thought about it carefully, I felt that I had already taken a few errands, and if I recommended myself to find a cook for Dongfu, I would have to get involved in the purchase of vegetables, fish, and meat in the kitchen, it would be too domineering. The errand of the kitchen has always been a large part of the purchase, and if you take it yourself, maybe the owners of the East Mansion and your own two families will benefit, but there will be more people who will be offended. Although he is no longer in charge of the Eastern Mansion, there is no need to make too many enemies. didn't say anything, but when he invited Mr. Xu to eat and thank him, he briefly mentioned a few famous restaurants, and pointed out the advantages and disadvantages of each one and the price, and then changed the topic.

Manager Xu is a caring person, how can he not pay attention to his words? I sent my cronies to inquire about the restaurants, and sure enough, they all had the business of sending cooks abroad, and each had their own specialty, and the price was frugal. There are many official eunuchs in Beijing who are almost the same, and when they hold banquets at home, they are also hired to go. So he reported to the second wife, and finally chose a company with good craftsmanship, medium price, and a shopkeeper who knew the rules, and the price he set made both the master and servant very satisfied. Since the shopkeeper knows the rules, he naturally knows the customs in the kitchen of this big family, not only is he respectful to the cooks in Dongfu, but he is also loose on his hands, and he turns a blind eye to some things, and the result is very happy. Both the master and the servant in the East Mansion felt that he had great eyes and good manners, so they secretly wrote down that they planned to still look for him when there was a banquet in the future.

A few troubles were solved with the help of Lu Yougui. The second wife and Mr. and Mrs. Xu deeply regretted letting such a capable person out. However, the second wife didn't dwell on it for long, so she asked Mr. Xu to ask if she was willing to go back to Dongfu to do things, help manage one or two shops, and receive wages on an annual basis, the base number is fifty taels, according to the profit of the store every month, and then there are bonuses, and at the end of the year, there are dividends, and you can also take your family to live in the house behind the store.

This condition is already quite generous in the big families in the capital. Lu Yougui was quite moved for a while, but fortunately he had already made up his mind, only hesitated for a moment, and then said to Manager Xu: "My leg is not very good, now that the weather is warm, I don't feel anything, but when it comes to rainy weather, or autumn and winter, my leg hurts so much." If it weren't for this, I would never have nodded when my son-in-law took us out. Now I can only take advantage of the good weather to come out and walk around, and it is still okay to run an errand for the old lady occasionally, but if you are serious, you will have to delay the business! It's not good. ”

Manager Xu remembered that when Lu Yougui left the house, his son-in-law and Chunying did mention the issue of "leg wind", and they were also a little helpless. He had seen people who had suffered from leg wind, and it was indeed difficult to walk when they were sick, and it was really troublesome for the shopkeeper who was in charge of the affairs of a store. He had to report this to the second wife, and the second wife could only sigh and stop mentioning this matter, just let Manager Xu remember that when he wanted to find someone to do something in the future, he could go to Lu Yougui to try.

Lu Yougui earned a total of more than 100 taels of silver this time, and he refused Dongfu's solicitation but did not attract their complaints, so he was very satisfied. In order to celebrate, he made a special trip to bring gifts to everyone in the family, even the eldest daughter's family.

Chunying held a pair of white jade bracelets in her hand, looked at the sunset, turned back to her father and smiled: "Dad, you are really willing, this thing is worth ten taels of silver, it's too expensive, right?" The gifts of my mother and sister are not so expensive. ”

"What's this?" Lu Yougui lay on the bench in the courtyard and stretched his legs comfortably, "This is for you as a dowry, so you can take it, and when you enter the door of the Hu family in the future, you won't be rude if you wear it out." I had the intention of buying you some good jewelry, but I didn't come across it. ”

Mother Lu looked at the golden hairpin on her head in the mirror and glanced at it: "Silver always has to be spent, buy a few pieces of jewelry and put it at home, and you won't lose money." According to me, instead of letting your dad take it out for business, it is better to change it to jewelry and we will wear it! ”

Chunying couldn't help laughing: "Mother, that's not what you said, you can make more money in business, jewelry...... Although it can maintain its value, it can't be eaten or worn, so it's better to keep the silver as the capital. After that, he put the bracelet back in the jewelry box in his room, moved a small bench again, sat next to his father, and asked in a low voice: "Dad, I calculated carefully, in fact, the money you made is almost enough to open a small store, right?" ”

Lu Yougui nodded with a smile: "It's almost, but the store is also thin, wait for me to do it a few more times, accumulate more capital, and then think about the future." ”

Chunying thought about it and felt right: "That's fine, we don't have a rush anyway." It's a suitable pavement, you can take a look at it first. If you encounter a cheap and good one, you still have to make a move early. Haven't many eunuchs fallen in the past few months? Now that their cases have been decided, and it's almost time for the industrial slaves to start selling, Dad might as well go and see if there is a suitable one. The official sells things, the reputation is good, at least it will not deceive people. ”

Lu Yougui thought so: "Okay, I'll inquire tomorrow to see which industry has started to sell." Those good properties in the names of first-class people, we can't take our turn, and the shops of second-class people should be sold in less than half a year, so you should be able to try it. When we buy it, we have to find someone to go to the bad luck, clear the inventory, and clean the place. In this way, when the matter is completed, it will take more than half a year, and my capital here should be almost saved. ”

Chunying hurriedly said: "Dad just go and make money, and leave the cleaning to me." Brother Xiao Fei bought a shop before, and I also cooked with it. ”

Lu Yougui glanced at her with a smile: "Even if you haven't cooked, you should study hard, and in the future, when you pass the door, you will have to help with these things!" ”

Mother Lu also echoed beside her: "That's a good thing, Brother Hu can't compare to us, he is a person who wants to make a big deal, you have to be his virtuous helper, can you learn more?" ”

Chunying laughed dryly a few times and returned to the room a little uncomfortably. She's not shy, she's just at a loss. The taste of lovesickness in the two places is not pleasant, not to mention, she doesn't even know where Hu Fei is now. Calculating the time, he has been in India for half a year, and it is almost time to return, right? When the hell will he be back?! ~！
