"How much silver do you have? It's better to keep it and save a private house," his wife is so docile Luo Yuanpeng is naturally very happy, and his brain makes up for his wife's limited background to regard tens of thousands of taels of silver as a huge amount of money, "It's not too late to talk about it when your dim sum shop really makes money in the future, go to sleep, it's not early~"
Zhang Lan is really afraid that Luo Yuanpeng will agree, now she can't make up 20,000 taels of everything in her hands, if she also pays for those orphans, she can't take it out if she pays more, she can't take it out, she can't take it out if she pays less, it's not enough to be embarrassed, forget it, wait for her business to become bigger, or make a name for herself in Yong'an in the future, you must get a place like Shantang, or also encourage some noble ladies to do public welfare regularly, maybe you can bring a new fashion in Yong'an, after all, like Gao Ruxian, how many people can be helped by one person's strength?
Today, Luo Yuanpeng was resting, and he and Zhang Lan specially came to Qingtai Courtyard to have dinner with Mrs. Luo, which made the Qi family, who already knew that Zhang Lan wanted to do business with Luo Qingrong, laughed secretly in his heart, just waiting for the couple to speak.
"Mother, this is the Pu'er tea that Mrs. Weiyuan Hou Du gave me, you can taste it," After Zili led the little girl to withdraw from the table, Luo Qingrong helped Qi Shi back to the west hall and sat down, Zhang Lan came out with the tea she had brewed, and served a cup with Qi Shi first.
"Well, that's good," Qi Shi took a sip of face, "You like tea, let Mama Li wrap some for you this year's Queen Mother~"
Must be good in the palace? Zhang Lan watched the TV series and said that good things can't come into the mouths of the emperor at all, of course, she won't say it stupidly in this way, she just got up and thanked her, but she still couldn't hold back and said, "Actually, the habit of drinking tea just after eating in our house is not good for the body." ”
Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Zhang Lan's nature as a good teacher unconsciously appeared, and said with a smile, "Because I just eat, my stomach is full of food, and gastric juice is secreting, and a large amount of tea into my stomach will dilute the gastric juice and affect digestion." At the same time, it also increases the burden on the stomach and is not good for the heart. Drinking strong tea after a meal is even more disadvantageous. Because tea contains certain substances, it can make people excited and cause insomnia..."
Just as she was talking about Xingtou, she suddenly found that Luo Yuanpeng was frowning at herself, and hurriedly shut up, she was so forgetful, it was useless to say something, aren't the people here just a cup of tea after dinner? "Uh, I'm talking too much,"
"I really haven't heard of your daughter-in-law's words," Qi Shi smiled faintly and glanced at Luo Yuanpeng, "People who want to come to the Northland don't like to drink tea after meals, so let's do it, if you are not used to it, you don't have to follow my temperament." ”
"What did my mother say," Luo Yuanpeng glared at his wife and said with a smile, "Our family has been like this for generations, how can you listen to her words?" ”
Looking at the humility that Luo Yuanpeng said, Mrs. Luo smiled noncommittally, "I just happened to say lightly that there is something to discuss with me, this is not right, your parents are here, just tell them if you have anything, after all, I am also old, and I don't go out all day long, so I can't have any good ideas." ”
When Zhang Lan talked eloquently just now, Luo Qingrong sighed in his heart, Zhang Lan is still the same as before, and what she said is ugly, but she talks a lot, and she can't hide things in her stomach, and her "theories" are also Luo Qingrong who couldn't find them when she searched through the books in the house later, and now Qi asked her, Luo Qingrong hurriedly put away her thoughts, got up and said, "Mother said two days ago that she wanted Qingrong to open a dim sum shop with her, and Qingrong knew that this was her mother who wanted to mention me,"
Speaking of this, she took a box from Cinnabar's hand and said abruptly, "Mother has not put much effort into opening this dim sum shop these days, how can she sit back and enjoy it?" Here is 10,000 taels of silver, mother should not be too little," she put the box on the table in front of Zhang Lan, pulled Zhang Lan's sleeve and said shyly, "Since it is the mother who wants to take her daughter to earn silver, she will not shirk it, but her daughter is small, and she can't make snacks, and she can't offer novel recipes, so she will give some silver as the capital, and the mother is not allowed to regret it~"
This girl, she really underestimated her, Zhang Lan couldn't control the expression on her face, she didn't expect Luo Qingrong to take out this matter directly, and took out the silver in front of Luo Yuanpeng and Mrs. Luo, the most unexpected thing for her was this, a child less than ten years old, actually shot tens of thousands of taels of silver?! What's more, what she wants is the shop in Runyufang under Luo Qingrong's name, to put it more directly, she wants to help Luo Qingrong get back the dowry of Gao Ruxian, which is detained in the hands of the Qi family, but now, how can Luo Yuanpeng speak? A little girl is often tens of thousands of taels of silver, who would believe that Qi Shike deducted Gao's dowry? And she also said that she was not too little for 10,000 taels of silver, and Mrs. Luo and Luo Yuanpeng didn't know how much they wanted from Luo Qingrong?
Luo Qingrong looked at Zhang Lan with a stiff expression quietly, in the previous life, Zhang Lan said that she wanted to do business, so she ran to Qi's and said that she wanted her mother's dowry, and told Qi that she was old and wanted to learn how to manage her mother's dowry with Zhang Lan, and then followed Zhang Lan to liquidate the dowry left by her mother, to put it bluntly, at that time, she and Zhang Lan were liquidating how much Qi had deducted their own income, thinking of this, even if she skipped reincarnation and was reborn, Luo Qingrong still felt shameless to face her grandmother.
The difference between this life and the previous life is that Mrs. Luo handed over all the dowry of the Gao family to Luo Qingrong, of course, few people know about this, looking at Luo Yuanpeng's expression, it is obvious that Zhang Lan did not tell him the truth, Luo Qingrong smiled faintly, what her mother left her, in this life, she will not let go easily, she will no longer be the gun in Zhang Lan's hand, let her hurt her grandmother, and Zhang Lan is not allowed to borrow her own name to deceive her father.
"You don't have to be so surprised," Qi sneered in his heart, these two people were fully prepared, but in the end, they found that there was no prey at all, "The things left by Ru Xian, although she handed them over to me by herself, but since Qingrong took over the family affairs last year, the entire Wu'an Hou Mansion has been taken care of by her in an orderly manner, not that I boast, and the housewife of ordinary people is not as good as her, plus my body is not as good as day by day, so I will simply hand it over to Sister Rong." ”
Luo Yuanpeng glanced at Zhang Lan in surprise, and was very dissatisfied, if it was really like what Zhang Lan told herself, Luo Qingrong was willing to open a shop with her to do business, how could she not tell her that Mrs. Luo had handed over all the property left by the Gao family to herself? "You don't have to be like this, this silver was left to you by your mother, so you can keep it for yourself, how can your mother send this?"
"Yes, since I want to do business, why can't I prepare my capital?" Zhang Lan's throat was dry, and she also thought of what she said to Luo Yuanpeng, "I don't think it's interesting to be a shop alone, I want to find you to accompany me, and the two of you can be companions~"
"How old is she? What's more, Gao's left thirty shops with her back then, these are enough for the child to worry, and there will be time to open a new shop? Mrs. Luo shook her head, "To be honest, according to my meaning, you don't even have to open this shop, the Luo family has also placed a lot of shops over the years, I heard Gangyi say that you are very good at managing accounts, it is better to help him take care of these shops and the grange in the countryside, although there are the stewards of the outer courtyard, but in the end, you are one husband and wife, he is busy, you also help him pay more attention, it is difficult to break into the industry, it is even more difficult to keep the business, these are your fundamental~"
"Yes, mother is right," Luo Yuanpeng has no intention of staying here in the Qi family anymore, he wants to find his daughter to ask what is going on, Zhang Lan He also understands that what must be done, his daughter suddenly took such a large sum of silver, whether he was willing or forced, he must ask clearly.
Coming out of Qingtai Courtyard, Zhang Lan hurriedly stopped Luo Yuanpeng, who was about to go to the outer courtyard, "You listen to my explanation, you really told me lightly that you want to do business with me, of course," her voice lowered, "I told her first to make a dim sum shop." ”
"Forget it, it's not interesting to say this, just do what my mother said, this matter will be slow first," Luo Yuanpeng glanced at the servant women in the courtyard, he didn't want to say this to his wife in front of his subordinates, "If you insist on doing it, I won't stop you, you can move our silver casually, but you are not allowed to climb Qingrong again," Speaking of this, his voice was a little firm, "Since Gao's dowry has been given to Qingrong, Qingrong will be the master in the future, and others are not allowed to mention it again," Speaking of this, Luo Yuanpeng's gaze at Zhang Lan was more chilling," No one is allowed to make the idea of a dowry lightly! ”
"What do you mean? I'm just thinking," Zhang Lan gritted her teeth and endured not to quarrel with Luo Yuanpeng in the Qingtai Courtyard, but Luo Yuanpeng's words were full of suspicion of her and made her angry, "I admit that I pulled Qingrong to do business with me, because I heard that she has a shop in Runyufang under her name, instead of me looking around for a suitable place, it is better to directly use the convenience of my own people, and it is not that I don't pay the rent to her, but the rest, I haven't thought about it at all." ”
"Got it, you go back, I want to be quiet," his wife's straightforward appearance made Luo Yuanpeng's heart sink, he once loved Zhang Lan very much in front of him and always looked full of righteousness and righteousness, he felt that she was not like those vulgar fans who flattered and carefully flattered when they saw themselves, as she often said, she is an idealistic and thoughtful person, not anyone's vassal, she will not be manipulated by anyone, and she will not bow to anyone, but now, she is saying lies that have been debunked with her eyes wide open, He also said it so reassuringly, Luo Yuanpeng's eyes were damp, he didn't dare to think about it anymore, and he threw off his robe and went straight out of Qingtai Courtyard.
"Girl, look," Cinnabar tugged at Luo Qingrong's sleeve, "Let's go out later, shall we?" ”
If the lady came to find the girl, in the end, she would occupy the status, and Cinnabar would inevitably worry about her own girl.
"It's okay, let's go," Luo Qingrong looked at Zhang Lan who was standing in the courtyard, Yulu seemed to be persuading her, and now she obviously couldn't listen to anyone's persuasion.
