Mrs. Gan talked about this matter with Eleven Niang in her spare time: "...... I have to admire this Li family will drill camp. With his son's small five-grade thousand households, he actually married Princess An Cheng! ”

At this time, the wedding shop has already opened, just in time for the season of "rich or not, marry a daughter-in-law for the New Year". The embroidery in their shop has novel styles, good quality and reasonable prices, which attracted many people and soon became famous in Yanjing. Whether it is Eleven Niang, Master Jian or Mrs. Gan, they are very satisfied with this start.

Shi Niang came to see Mrs. Gan this time, just to bring the accounts in the shop to Mrs. Gan for review.

"Young people are the rising sun, and the future is limitless." She said implicitly, "I don't blame Princess An Cheng for looking excited." ”

Mrs. Gan laughed when she heard this: "However, speaking of which, these two families are also considered to be the right people. ”

Mrs. Gan refers to Princess Ancheng's concubine, and she is not an Ansheng person, right?

In the early years, he was impeached by the imperial history for selling smuggled salt, and was beaten with a lame leg by forty boards, and in recent years, I heard that he raised a group of idle gangs to lend official debts. Now that the sea ban has been opened, Fujian is the target of everyone, but I am afraid that this horse master also has his own small plans.

However, after all, this is someone else's family matter, and it is not easy for Eleven Niang to comment.

It is not a gentleman's work to talk about the length of people behind his back. Gan Taifu's words were shallow and profound, and he talked to Eleven Niang about the business of the happy shop: "In this way, we still earned six taels of silver this year?" ”

Eleven Niang nodded with a smile: "If you don't count the rent of your shop, you do earn six taels of silver, but if you count the rent of your shop, you will lose sixty taels of silver." ”

Mrs. Gan was puzzled.

Eleven Niang told her: "The rent of your shop is 800 taels a year, and it is divided according to 12 months, and it is about 66 taels a month." Now we have earned six taels of silver, and if we count the rent of the shop, we will not lose sixty taels! ”

"Oops!" Mrs. Gan smiled, "It's complicated. No wonder people say that this business is not for everyone. He added, "However, it's not bad to earn six taels of silver!" It's our first time doing business, and we didn't lose anything! ”

Eleven Niang smiled and nodded: "I came this time because I have two things to discuss with you." One is the time when the shop is closed. Master Jian's meaning is that he wants to close the door on the seventh day of the lunar month and open the door after the eighteenth day of the first month. The second is the red envelope for the New Year. Although we didn't make any money this year, firstly, we had a short time when we opened, and secondly, we were breaking into the brand, and the profit was very thin. But he couldn't detain the guys in the shop. Prepare a red envelope of eight taels of silver for the big shopkeeper, six taels of silver for the second shopkeeper, two taels of silver for the little guys, and five taels of silver for the embroidered girls. What do you think? ”

"Most of the shops on East Street are closed on the seventh day of the lunar month and open on the eighteenth day of January. And so should we. Mrs. Gan muttered, "However, will the big shopkeeper's red envelopes be less?" The first-class steward in our house is twelve taels of silver for the New Year. What's more, these people came in front of Master Jane. We are short of money, and we are not short of this bit of silver. I think it's better to give more! ”

The shopkeeper and the second shopkeeper are both old acquaintances of Master Jian in the past, and they are both old experts in the embroidery business.

"I talked to Master Jane about it. This year is a special case. "Eleven Niang said, "From next year, in addition to wages, one-tenth of the shop's profit will be used as the dividends of the big shopkeeper, the second shopkeeper and the little ones, and the other one-tenth will be divided into embroidery girls." Instead of giving more red envelopes, it is better to let them find more ways to do business. ”

"I'm afraid that the two shopkeepers will think we are stingy." Mrs. Gan smiled, "I don't know much about this. But since you and Master Jian have said yes, then it's up to you! What's more, we said in advance that I would not interfere in the affairs of the shop. ”

Having said that, after all, it is a business of three people joining forces. There are some things that you still need to communicate with Mrs. Gan more!

Eleven Niang smiled and talked to her for a long time, and saw that it was not early, so she got up and said goodbye.

As soon as she entered the door, Lu Yun told her: "The third master sent someone from Shanyang to send the New Year's ceremony!" ”

"Are you still sending Gan Laoquan here?" Eleven Niang asked her with a smile while taking off her maroon mink fur jacket.

"It's still the Gan Lao Spring of the pie." Lu Yun handed the leather jacket she took off to the little maid on the side, and served her to change her clothes and freshen up in the clean room, "Gan Laoquan's family saw that you were not there, so I went to kowtow to Mrs. Tai." ”

Eleven Niang nodded, freshened up, and went to Mrs. Tai.

Mrs. Tai rewarded Gan Laoquan's family for dinner in the east wing, and when she heard that Eleven Niang was coming, she hurriedly came out to kowtow to her.

Eleven Niang rewarded her with two taels of silver and entered Mrs. Tai's inner room.

"What? The accounts are settled. Mrs. Tai was sitting on the kang, fiddling with a few cloth tigers and small shoes with Mother Du, and beckoned her to sit with a smile.

Eleven Niang saluted Mrs. Tai and sat next to Mrs. Tai: "Mrs. Gan is a widow, and Master Jian is a craftsman after all, so I had to run away at both ends." Then he smiled at the beautifully made cloth tiger in Mrs. Tai's hand, "Is this for the eldest princess?" ”

Yesterday was the full moon ceremony of Princess Celestia. She has filial piety and did not participate. But the fireworks that lit up half of Yanjing City were enough to explain the lively scene last night.

Mrs. Tai smiled and nodded: "It's almost the New Year, find a few gadgets to send to her." Then he pushed the cloth tiger and the little shoes in front of her, "I'm not looking good now, you can help me take a look!" ”

Eleven Niang rubbed the upper, soles, and ties of the small shoes with her hands, checking their softness.

"That kid is so pretty." Mrs. Tai took the opportunity to talk about the eldest princess, "It is printed in the same mold as the queen's mother." But when the emperor saw it, he said that it was impossible to look like him. "As he spoke, he laughed." When those chamberlains and female officials saw it, they all said in their hearts that they were like the emperor and made the emperor happy. If it weren't for the fact that the Queen Mother was in poor health, the 100-day ceremony would have been prepared to be carried out in a big way. ”

Not long after the eldest princess baptized the third ceremony, the queen mother contracted a cold, and Mrs. Tai and others went to the palace to visit the sick. It also takes more than half a month.

"Isn't the Queen Mother's illness cured yet?" Eleven Niang was a little surprised when she heard this.

"It's not good to say yes!" Mrs. Tai pointed to the truth, "I went to visit the patient at that time." Although he is still using medicine, he is full of anger when he speaks, and it is not a big deal to think about it. ”

Eleven Niang laughed.

Mrs. Tai obviously didn't want to talk about this topic, so she immediately changed the topic and asked about Xu Siyu's return for the New Year: "...... It is said that the sixteenth day of the lunar month can go to Tongzhou. Has the house been cleaned up? ”

"It's all packed." Eleven Niang didn't mention it anymore, and followed Mrs. Tai's words, "Let Ji Ting's daughter-in-law move some flowers and trees, and replace all the bedding with new ones, and Qin Xiang has already passed." Would you like to come over tomorrow and have a look? ”

"Just have you to take care of it." Mrs. Tai smiled, "I won't go and see it." ”

A little maid came in and said, "Mrs., madam, the eldest aunt of Cangzhou is here to send a New Year's gift!" ”

Mrs. Tai was very happy to hear this, and urged Eleven Niang: "Go and have a look!" ”

Eleven Niang smiled and returned to her yard.

Green Cloud walked in with two shrewd and capable mothers-in-law.

Greeted Eleven Niang and said some auspicious words, one of the mothers-in-law smiled and said: "The slaves and maids also brought a pair of brothers, which were given to the second young master; a pair of kingfishers, which were given to the prince; a pair of yellow orioles, which were given to the fifth young master; A pair of parrots, which were given to the eldest lady. ”

"What a heart!" Eleven Niang smiled and said a few kind words, and then each person was rewarded with ten taels of silver and asked Luyun to bring it down to eat. Instructed Yanrong to go to the outer courtyard and send the things sent by the Shao family to everyone's house.

Yan Rong came back to restore her life, but whispered to her: "I heard from the little guy in the outer courtyard that although there are as many things sent by the third master as the Dragon Boat Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival, the quality is much worse. ”

Eleven Niang was a little surprised.

Yan Rong hurriedly said: "Really, I have been to see it." The wind ducks sent by the third master during the Mid-Autumn Festival are all greasy and fat, but they are very thin this time. ”

Eleven Niang laughed.

The gift list of the New Year's gift will be sent to Xu Lingyi's hands, but it is Fan Guan who is responsible for the exchange of gifts from various prefectures to put things into storage. Something like this, I'm afraid that Steward Fan won't be able to say anything!

"Don't make a noise about this." Eleven Niang instructed Yan Rong, "Lest the Hou Ye face is not good-looking." ”

"The slave knows!" Yan Rong said urgently, "No one mentioned this matter!" ”

Eleven Niang asked about her errand: "All the things sent by my aunt's family have been delivered?" ”

"The second young master's was handed over to Qin Xiang, the prince's was handed over to Du's mother, the fifth young master's was handed over to Nanyong's daughter-in-law, and the eldest lady's was handed over to Xiaoli."

Since Mrs. Tai left Xu Sichen in her house under the pretext that the weather was too hot, she never mentioned the matter of Xu Sichen setting up a separate hospital. The other people's things were handed over to the maids around them, and they were only given to Xu Sizhen, but Yanrong was sent to Du's mother.

Shi Niang couldn't help nodding slightly, and said, "You are very careful!" ”

Yan Rong was praised, her excited face was slightly red, and she bent her knees and said, "The slave just lived up to Madame's teachings." ”

Eleven Niang smiled and sent her back.

Xu Sijie dragged a birdcage and ran in: "Mother, mother, look, the bird sent by the eldest brother-in-law!" Nanyong's daughter-in-law followed in with an apologetic face: "Madam, the fifth young master has to come......

Eleven Niang signaled Nanyong's daughter-in-law not to be nervous, took the birdcage with a smile and handed it to Nanyong's daughter-in-law: "The bird should be hung under the eaves and raised, but it can't be dragged and run like you." ”

Xu Sijie nodded deeply and said with a smile: "Hanging under the eaves of my mother, it sings to my mother!" ”

"This is given to Brother Jie, by the eldest brother-in-law!" Eleven Niang smiled and hugged Xu Sijie, "Hang it under your roof and sing it to you." ”

He twisted his body: "Sing to your mother!" ”

I'm going to give it to her!

Eleven Niang kissed him on the cheek: "Mother is afraid of noise, so she hangs under the eaves of Brother Jie." ”

Xu Sijie didn't make a sound.

After she settled Xu Sijie and returned to the house, she saw that the maids and mothers-in-law who served were standing far away under the eaves, and Xu Lingyi and Xu Lingkuan were standing in the courtyard and whispering something.

Hearing the commotion, the two brothers stopped.

"It's so late, it's cold, why don't you go into the house?" Eleven Niang greeted them with a smile.
