Mama Liao said: "The servants in this house have always lived in the small street behind the house. The whole street was where our mansion was for our servants. However, not only did he sell his servants, but he also sold all the small streets. Not only that, but our mansion was originally a big mansion with three roads and six entrances in the east and west, and there was a huge garden in the back. There are also pavilions and lakes in the garden. However, they were all sold back then. ”

"However, our house, which was originally given by the first generation of the prince, cannot be bought and sold, but can only be pawned and mortgaged. Therefore, if Miss has a way, she might as well look for a bill and see if she can redeem it. ”

As for who sold these servants, houses, and farms, needless to say, they were all sold by Mingyue's grandfather and her grandmother. The money sold was naturally squandered. Although Qin Mingyue's father is also a gentleman, he is unlucky, the family business for his father has almost failed, and when it comes to him, although he also wants to squander and squander, there is nothing left for him to buy.

Thinking of his grandfather and grandmother's poor management and wastefulness, Qin Mingyue, as a junior, had nothing to say.

Qin Mingyue said: "Before, when I checked the accounts, I found the contracts of these pawnshops. They were all pawned to the merchants of Fengxi. This is easy to do, and you can redeem it little by little. I seem to remember that five thousand taels of silver went out from the small street in the back. It's not much, but I'm afraid the interest over the years is a lot. The merchants of Fengxi have tidied up the small street and rented it out all these years. ”

"Now I only have two thousand taels of silver left, and naturally I can't redeem them all. However, after discussing with the Fengxi merchants, it is still possible to redeem some of them. In the future, when you have money, you will slowly redeem it all. ”

"In our mansion, the house we live in is the house in the front yard, and it is the three thousand taels of silver that I used to have, and I have redeemed it. There is also a back garden in the back part of the middle road that is connected together, and when it is 10,000 taels of silver, I don't know how much interest it is. It was given to Fengxi merchants, they rented a restaurant to others, I heard that the business was good in the first few years, but it has not been good in recent years, so they want to return the lease. ”

"The East Road and the West Road each became 20,000 taels of silver, and the Fengxi merchants used them to separate them and rent them to the students in Shangjing. It's not easy to take it back. ”

"Hey, this is also a later story, Mama Ma, you first send someone to greet the Fengxi merchants, I want to prepare the silver, first redeem the small street where the servants live behind, next year or the year after tomorrow, the money is in hand, and I want to redeem it from the middle road, then to the east road, and the west road. Even the principal and interest are given to them. ”

Mama Ma hurriedly came down. Mama Liao turned her mouth and said, "Miss, is this tens of thousands of taels of silver?" You took the post as ten thousand taels of silver, and we haven't paid it back. How can there be any more redemption with this silver? ”

Qin Mingyue knew that the nurse was afraid of her hard work, and said with a smile: "Mama Liao, don't worry, I now have two businesses, one is to invest in He Jinfang's silk industry, and the other is the Qiyang family's weaving and dyeing workshop, not to mention anything else, the weaving and dyeing workshop alone will probably be able to get back the dividends of 10,000 taels of silver at the end of this year, which is enough to repay the debt." ”

Mama Liao breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, I feel very sorry for my own young lady. Miss is really capable, this family has been handed over to the old lady An for so many years, but the family business has withered, and it has been handed over to Miss for less than a month, and the monthly money has been distributed to the servants. It is also necessary to redeem the old servants of the past, and gradually add property and redeem the old mansion. It's really good. I think that the ancestors and ancestors of the Qin family who came to Liguo will be very proud of the young lady.

Mama Ma said: "It's okay to take back all the mansions of the mansion, and add servants everywhere, so that there is the atmosphere of the Guogong Mansion." Alas, it is easy to lose a family, but it is even more difficult to start a family business. Miss, you still have a lot to do in the future. Not only should we take back the house, buy servants, train servants, and buy industries, but also train the children of the Qin family to run their careers. ”

Qin Mingyue nodded and said to Mama Liao: "My eldest brother has always been smart and very good at reading. However, because our family is in an embarrassing situation now, we can't hire a famous teacher for him, so we can only let him learn to study at someone else's home. This is not good, although in the future, the eldest brother will not use the imperial examination, and there will still be a hereditary national prince, but it is still necessary to study and reason. It seems that I still have to pay attention to finding a famous Confucian to teach my eldest brother. ”

The two grandmothers nodded hurriedly, and Mama Liao was the most happy, because she was not only Qin Mingyue's nurse, but also Qin Mingyue's eldest brother Qin Guosong's nurse. For this child who grew up with his own milk, he naturally has deep feelings.

Qin Mingyue said this: "Okay, let's probably do it like this." There is a lot that needs to be done. The money was first given to the two grandmothers to manage. In the future, I will slowly erect the Liguo Mansion. ”

The two grandmothers saw that Qin Mingyue was a little tired, so they should come down, took the silver ticket, and prepared to go out. At this time, Dongqu came in and said, "Miss, the Shen family, the national teacher, has sent a post. ”

Qin Mingyue frowned slightly: "My master's family? ”

Winter Song has submitted the post. Qin Mingyue read it and said, "This is a post sent by my master's eldest daughter-in-law. Please let me go to Shen's house for dinner the day after tomorrow. ”

This kind of thing Mama Liao doesn't understand. But Mama Ma was originally a person cultivated by Shen Guoshi, and she was clear about the affairs of the Shen family, and she said with a slight groan: "Shen Guoshi's wife has passed away for many years. The affairs of the family are all taken care of by Shen Guoshi's eldest daughter-in-law, Duchess Mingli. This Duchess of Mingli was born as the daughter of the Pingxi Hou family. It is a good hand to manage the family home and handle the business. Over the years, the Shen family has been taken care of properly. ”

"She invited the young lady to come to the door at this time, and it is estimated that it has something to do with Shen Guoshi's retreat. It's late spring, and it's time for the ships to set sail. The Shen family is rich precisely because the Shen family runs a shipping business. It's a lucrative industry. The reason why the Shen family can do a good job in this business is not only that the Duchess of Mingli is good at management, but also because of Shen Guoshi's divination. Every time the family's sea boat went to sea, Shen Guoshi had to divinate the auspicious time and auspicious side, avoiding the risks at sea. This has made the Shen family's fleet not capsize once for decades. Naturally, huge wealth has been accumulated. ”

"It's time to go to sea again this year, but the national teachers are in retreat, how can they return their fleet for divination? They didn't dare to disturb the national teacher, so they could only ask Miss to go to the national teacher. ”

Qin Mingyue understood.
