There were three silver tickets in the willow bracelet, two for one hundred and one for twenty taels. The two brothers of the uncle and the Feng family secretly gave her a hundred taels of money to press the box, and mysteriously told her not to tell Li Chun, it was for her self-defense; Even Zhu Niangzi stuffed her with a silver ticket of twenty taels for the same reason. This is a lot of wealth, and Li Chun left a bag of broken silver bills for her when she left, and she weighed it carefully for two hundred taels.

Liu Zhi initially thought that it would be better to sell wontons, rice noodles or something in a shop, this person can not wear silk and satin, gold and silver, but as long as he is alive, his stomach always has to be filled. What's more, she is only good at stove work, and she has enough manpower, Xiao Jia is a laborer, and now she has Xingrui, and she is also a person who can do things.

These days, Apricot is accompanied by the search for a suitable shop. Xingrui hesitated, but still persuaded her: "Lady, you should discuss it with Mrs. Seven." ”

"There's no need to trouble Mrs. Seven, right?" Willow always felt that it was a trivial matter.

Xingrui said: "Lady, you are a newcomer to the country, and you don't know where to collide; The Bai family has deep roots in Nanquan, and it will be convenient for the lady to do things at that time. ”

Liu Zhi thought about it and felt that it made a lot of sense, there was a seventh wife, at least he couldn't be deceived. When she seriously asked Mrs. Seven for the precautions of being a hawker in Nanquan City, Mrs. Seven was so surprised that her eyes almost fell off, and she was even a little frightened: "Mrs. Li, did you snub you?" Just tell me, I'm going to die, and I'm not going to be merciful. ”

Liu Zhi was also frightened, where is this, she just wants to subsidize the family. She stammered and explained, "I want to have a living, and I won't sit in vain." He still owes money to people, and I can make some money for my family, which can reduce his burden to some extent. ”

Mrs. Seven was a little speechless in the face of Liu Zhi's vision of the grocery store, but the Seventh Master wrote to tell her to take good care of Li Chun's wife. He is a very bachelor, and no grand cause can attract him, and the only thing in the world that makes him worry is this little lady.

So Mrs. Seven carefully broke it and crumpled it, and taught her that her man was going to do great things, and she just had to eat and drink well and not hold back. If she went to set up a stall to sell wontons, Li Chun would definitely be ashamed to jump into the sea.

It doesn't matter how much he owes, if he doesn't have the ability to earn 100,000, the ghost will lend him 10,000. Moreover, Ping Jiu wished that he would open his mouth to borrow money. Do you know how many people are crying and shouting to lend him money? What does that mean? It means that you can get in touch with Swallow Island, do you know how important Swallow Island will be in the future? Do you know that your man is the most important character in Swallow Island?

"No, I don't know." Willow Branch replied very honestly.

"I don't understand what you're saying, I'm just a little woman with little knowledge. I don't care how much money he makes, I don't even like him making that much money, he's earning his life. I thought he wouldn't go out when he came back, and the two of us just had to keep a small shop and have something to eat. Where is the silver important, you don't know how many injuries he has, anyway, his man is distressed. ”

This made Mrs. Seven shed tears. Where is the silver important, this is the lightest and heaviest sentence in the world. The seventh master was walking outside, their husband and wife got together less and left more, her four children, which one of them was born when their father was not at home, and the fourth son was the first time he saw his father when he was five years old.

Moreover, the seventh master already had a concubine in Zhancheng, and the young master over there gave birth to three or four.

"Okay, Li Chun said that you can do whatever you like, just be fun; It's just a thing of eating, eating, smoking, and burning, so why do you bother to eat this bitterly? It is stronger to open a needlework and gouache shop. ”

Willow only said in her heart that I wasn't fun. Mrs. Seven twisted her, but asked her if she could fancy the shop, she imagined that the willow branch should be an elegant and tidy restaurant, Nanquan City has many businessmen, and the restaurant is very prosperous. When I heard that I just wanted to set up a small shop and do the business of those rough people on the dock, I was speechless.

"Mrs. Li, if the capital is not enough, I can lend you some" Before she finished speaking, Liu Zhi waved her hand desperately, what kind of joke, she was originally troubled because she owed money, and borrowed money, so I don't know if it will be paid off in the year of the monkey.

Willow Branch insists on his own idea is self-aware, and if he does something he is not familiar with, he will borrow more strength from others and owe more favors. And she didn't ask for much, but a small place under the canopy like the home on Sweet Water Well Street was satisfied

Mrs. Seven sent a steward to help run, and the one on the land was really capable, and it didn't take long to find two desirable shops. Both places are not big, both are a room in front of a shop and a room in the back. However, one is close to East Street, which is a place where many merchants gather, and the shop was originally a Nanquan branch of a mainland merchant, clean and meticulous, and the shop is larger, and the rent must be paid from one year to two hundred taels of silver a year; If you buy it, it will be two thousand taels, and it can be folded to one thousand eight hundred taels depending on the face of the Bai family's steward.

The other is adjacent to West Street, which is where dock workers live, and the environment is noisy, and the shops are very narrow and dilapidated, which are only rented and not sold. This row of houses was originally a platoon of barracks built by the commanders, and the guard post and the military port were relocated, but this row of empty houses was used for other purposes, and it turned out to be a big entry for the command post.

The white steward specially asked Zhou Qianhu to say hello, and the vacant façade was like a willow branch, and it only cost thirty taels of silver a year. "In addition, the little lady just watched and carried two boxes of snacks and gave them to Zhou Qianhu."

Liu Zhi walked a few times, and chose the latter a few times, she couldn't get the former down, and she also had to buy another stove and cooking utensils, which was an extra amount of money. The latter was originally a sweet water shop, although it is still said to be renovated, but there are always ready-made pots and pans, tables, chairs and benches, and the guests of the latter are all made by the dock, so they do not need to pay attention to it.

On the day she went to the deed, she got up early in the morning and asked Xingrui to comb her hair. When Xingrui was a maid, she knew that a skill was the last word, and she learned the two skills of combing her hair and needlework, and later became a first-class maid of the official lady.

The willow branch is tender, and the apricot stamen combs a small bun, although it is a woman's head, it is very playful, her hair is good, and it is pressed down. Thinking solemnly, he only inserted the hairpin of Mi Canaan, and brought a pair of jasper earrings, looking as white as jade, and his eyes were like autumn water. Wearing a wide-sleeved pipa placket lilac shirt that is popular here, embroidered with grape patterns, it is very suitable, and a thick purple long skirt is tied underneath, her complexion is white and tender, and the purple is bright and smart.

Although Liu Zhi is bold, it is the first time to deal with the official family alone, and his heart is pounding, and he is afraid of seeing the courtesy. Zhou Qianhu was stunned for a while, and the family of such a sweet little daughter-in-law was willing to let go, but he also saw a lot of independent women in Nanquan, and Mrs. Pearl of the Bai family was one of the best.

Liu Zhi asked Xingrui to carry a red lacquer box, and her heart ached, and she went for a penny just to buy this box, but she knew that there were some places that could not be saved. Adults like this, can you take mulberry paper to wrap a bag of snacks?

In the box is the honey jujube paste cake she made herself, and she inquired about the thousands of ancestral families in Zhongzhou, and preferred the dim sum with jujube paste filling; Under the plate was a silver ticket of fifty taels.

Liu Zhi has followed his father around the shop since he was a child, and he still understands the sophistication of the world. Although Mrs. Seventh insisted on accepting it, she also insisted on giving a piece of broken silver. After someone gives himself an outsider to run before and after, he can't help but be interested.

Zhou Qianhu was still very polite to the delicate and beautiful little lady, and her craftsmanship was so good, looking at her big eyes and blinking, she was so pitiful, so she waved her hand and gave her a three-year deed.
