Chapter 184: Considerations
"Mother, you don't need to borrow it. I still have some money in hand, how much is the difference, just take it with me. Xia Jin said with a smile on the side.
Now that Xia Zhengqian and Shu Shi know that Xia Jin is partnering with Cen Ziman to do business, she must have money on hand. It's just that I think that other people's daughters wear gold and silver, and they don't have to worry about anything. The daughter of their family is still running around to make money, and now the third room can have a good life now, and it is all up to the daughter to come up with money to support it at a critical time. So Xia Zhengqian and Shu Shi both made up their minds that all the money earned by Xia Jin would be given to her as a dowry, and the family would never ask her for a penny again.
However, the family is in a hurry to use the money, so it doesn't hurt to use a little bit in her hands. I'll be back in two months.
So Shu Shi didn't say anything polite to his daughter, and said with a smile: "It's better this way." Borrow it first, and your father will pay you back when he earns money. ”
"Family, what do you say you haven't paid back?" Xia Jin said, stood up and ran towards Qingzhi Pavilion, "I'll go get the silver." ”
Xia Zhengqian shouted at her figure: "Change into men's clothes and come with me to see the house." ”
"Hey." Xia Jin answered from afar, and the person had already arrived outside the courtyard gate.
Shu Shi sighed and said with emotion: "Our daughter is so capable, and she likes to run out, and she will marry someone in the future and be confined at home, maybe how uncomfortable it will be." I don't know what kind of home to find for her. ”
Xia Zhengqian said: "You go to Xing's house to find out Mrs. Xing's tone and see what she says." ”
Speaking of this, Shu Shi became happy: "I see that Qingsheng likes our sister Jin very much." ”
Xing Qingsheng probably regarded Xia Jin as his sister at first. It doesn't feel much of a feeling. But for most of the past six months, I have been learning medical skills from Xia Jin every day, and gradually changed from admiration to liking. Now he doesn't have any problems with his medical skills. will also find some to come out to consult Xia Jin, just to see her every day.
Shu Shi saw these situations in his eyes and was happy in his heart. I only hate that Xia Jin is still in filial piety, and he can't discuss his relatives, and he scolds Mrs. Xia in his heart for not making people at peace when she dies.
Xia Zhengqian could naturally see the thoughts of the disciples. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said that earlier.
Xia Jin changed into men's clothes and came out with a hundred taels of silver. called Xia Zhengqian: "Dad, let's go." ”
The father and daughter went out. Because the house was not far away, I didn't take the car and walked slowly.
After walking for about a cup of tea, the two stopped in front of a house.
Lu Liang hurriedly stepped forward to knock on the door. I talked to the person who came out to answer the door. So the man let them in.
Although the area of the house is smaller than that of the Xia family, the layout is very reasonable, and according to the population of the Xia family, it is completely suitable for living here.
Xia Zhengqian was very satisfied, and made an appointment with the person who helped the Zhu family sell the house to come out to negotiate, and finally bought the house at a price of 1,150 taels.
"Dad, now that we have the capital, we can open our own pharmacy." On the way home. Xia Jin said to Xia Zhengqian.
"Isn't that right? When we were the most difficult, Boss Qin helped us. Xia Zhengqian was embarrassed.
"He's helping us?" Xia Jin smiled, "It's just a mutual benefit." When we first moved here. didn't get rid of him and did it himself, and he was already worthy of him. And for more than a year, because he was attached to our medical center and spread medicine in such a location, he made a lot of money. When will it be a head to give him such a profit? In two more years, you want to close the shop. Maybe he thinks this shop should be used for him, but he resents you. There are many examples of Shengmien fighting Mi Feud. Besides, his family is much more prosperous than ours, and he doesn't need us to help, so why should he give his shop to others to make money? ”
"You have a point." Xia Zhengqian sighed.
Xia Jin knows Xia Zhengqian's temperament, and he feels like a good gentleman, and he is always unwilling to make others uncomfortable.
She said, "Dad, if you can't wipe your face, I'll go and tell him." ”
Xia Zhengqian glanced at her amusedly: "In what capacity do you say?" No, it's ruining your brother's reputation. Okay, I'll go and say. If he wants to be unhappy about this, then this friend is my friend for nothing. ”
"That's right." Xia Jin said happily.
What she wants to see most is Xia Qi's progress and Xia Zhengqian's change. Only when they become more and more responsible, will her life be easier and easier.
"This time, I'm going to use your money again." Xia Zhengqian sighed again.
To open a pharmacy, it is not possible to open a pharmacy without the capital of two or three hundred taels of silver.
"The pharmacy makes money quickly, and the funds are returned in two or three months. You'll be right to me when the time comes. ”
Xia Zhengqian nodded: "The interest will be calculated for you then." ”
The house was already inhabited and was very well repaired, and it was time to move in, and there was no need to clean it up. Let the subordinates go over to clean up, and choose an auspicious day, Xia Jin and they moved. After moving, I invited the three relatives at the time of the ceremony to have a meal, which was regarded as the joy of the housewarming.
Seeing that Sanfang bought a house in such a location, the sour smell on the eldest lady could be smelled two miles away. And the second wife didn't hold back this time, knowing that Xia Qi's family requirements were too high, and she couldn't reach it, so she simply turned around and told Shu that she wanted to tell Xia Jin to her nephew.
"Now I am still in filial piety, and Sister Jin's family affairs are not in a hurry." Shu Shi smiled and said. Seeing the jealous and resentful gaze of the eldest lady, her mood was not ordinarily good.
Xia Zhengshen took a fancy to the face here, and said to Xia Zhengqian: "Third brother, such a good shop, you have cheapened others for nothing." Now you've moved, and it's not as good as before, but it's your own house. Why don't you give me the half of the door at the door, I will also open a pharmacy and give you the same rent as Boss Qin. ”
"That's it, third brother, people say that fertilizer and water don't flow into outsiders' fields, it's better for you to give the benefits to others." The big lady said sourly.
"Big brother has a medical center, can he be busy opening a pharmacy here?" The second wife pushed Xia Zhenghao hard, with a kind and gentle smile on her face, "It's better to leave this matter to your second brother." He has nothing to do at home now, and it is not a matter of sitting and eating. As brothers, help him also. ”
When Xia Zhenghao was in the autumn, he didn't get lifted, so the second wife said this.
Seeing that as soon as the people in these two rooms saw the benefits, they were like flies smelling meat, and they buzzed over again, Xia Jin raised his eyebrows at Shu.
Shu Shi smiled bitterly and couldn't help but sigh deeply.
Xia Qi was afraid that Xia Zhengqian would be soft-hearted, so he hurriedly said: "My father has already told Boss Qin, and I won't rent it to him here." In the past, it was rented to him because we were left of the house and didn't even have money for food, or Boss Qin borrowed a few taels of silver from us, so we didn't starve to death on the street. Now this kindness is almost over, and we are ready to take back the door and open our own pharmacy. Uncle is right, if there is money to be made, of course we have to earn it ourselves, how can there be a reason to cheapen others for nothing? ”
Seeing Xia Qi mention the original incident, Xia Zhengshen's face turned red and white. The eldest lady was also a little embarrassed.
Xia Zhenghao is a scholar, and he has always been self-assured, thinking that this opening of a pharmacy is a businessman's business, and his reputation has been ruined, so he glared at the second wife vigorously, blaming her for making her own decision just now. The second wife also glared at him back, but she didn't dare to say anything.
After sending the guests away, Xia Zhengqian sighed and returned to the main courtyard. Shu Shi went to Xia Jin's room and said to her:
"After the past few years, you have been filial piety, and you have turned sixteen. How about I make a family appointment with your father? A few days ago, I went to Xing's house and chatted with Mrs. Xing for a while, talking about women's obedience after marriage. Mrs. Xing said, how can there be so many rules for the daughter-in-law of a small family? She buys vegetables or sells embroidery all day long, and she doesn't know how many times she has to run down the street.
And she said that when she marries a daughter-in-law in the future, she will definitely treat her as a daughter-in-law, and she will never be asked to make any rules. There are only a few people in the family, isn't it good to be with Helele? Why do you insist on separating the dignity and the inferiority? ”
Thinking of the incident over there in Luofu, Xia Jin felt a sense of amazement in his heart. She said: "Mother, from a medical point of view, a woman must be eighteen years old before her body is considered to be mature, and it is not so dangerous to have a child at this time. Do you really want me to marry at the age of sixteen? ”
Shu Shi was taken aback: "There is still such a statement? ”
Xia Jin nodded.
Shu Shi thought for a while: "Even if we don't get married, we have to book the family affair." Your senior brother will be nineteen years old next year, and I'm worried that your aunt Xing has other ideas. ”
Xia Jin said lightly: "If you have other ideas, forget it, there is more than one senior brother in the world." ”
Shu Shi glanced at her with disgust: "What are these words?" There is no shame in saying this. Saying that, she paused, stroked Xia Jin's crow's black hair, and said with relief, "But my daughter is beautiful and capable, isn't it true that the matchmaker doesn't step on the threshold?" ”
Xia Jin snorted: "Mother, you are not ashamed to say this, how can you praise your daughter like this." ”
Shu Shibai glanced at her: "I'm willing, can you manage it?" ”
Xia Jin was speechless and stood up: "I'm not poor with you, go and see how the pharmacy is doing." "I went into the inner room and changed into men's clothes, and went to the front pharmacy.
Although this lot is not as good as the one that Luo Qian rented to them, but Xinglintang's reputation has been hit, even if they moved the place, told the old sick number in advance, and posted a new address in front of the original door, everyone had a headache and brain fever, and they also searched for the address, so the business was not affected.
On the pharmacy side, the Xia family has been a doctor for generations, and there are servants who understand medicine, Xia Zhengqian chose one of the servants to be the shopkeeper, and recruited some guys, and Xia Jin took care of it, and opened the pharmacy smoothly.
Xia Qi won the show, the Xia family had their own house in the third room, opened their own medical hall and pharmacy, and had two rented out shops and fields on hand, no longer need to look at anyone's face, the family of four had a very comfortable year.
At the end of February and the beginning of March, when the snow in the north melted, Luo Qian returned to Linjiang City with his parents. (To be continued)
