CHAPTER XXV
On this day, Lu Weimang took the housekeeper to wander on the street as usual.
"Two wontons."
Tired of walking, Lu Weimang and the housekeeper found a wonton stall on the street, ate two bites, and rested by the way.
"Miss, although our family is a little difficult, we don't have to eat wontons every day, right? You don't have to eat such expensive things like you did on the first day, but you can just find an ordinary restaurant, right? ”
Steward Lu looked at the wontons in front of him and frowned, a little unwilling to eat.
It's not that he picks his mouth, the key is that the young lady has eaten wontons for seven days in a row, and the taste of this wonton is also average.
"Lao Lu, why are you still picky eaters? I'm in for a treat, and some of them are good to eat. ”
Steward Lu's face became even more ugly.
The last hundred taels he had withdrawn from the account office in the house were spent by his own lady for a day, and when he went out in the future, he could only eat and drink behind the young lady with his face on.
In these few short days, the housekeeper fully realized that a person still has to have his own money, and pointing to others to spend money is not restricted everywhere? The master used to spend too much money and was lavish, and in the future, he will have to be stricter for the master.
The key is that when it is the turn of the young lady to pay for it herself, their living standards have fallen directly from the big restaurant to the roadside stall, and sure enough, it is someone else's money that is spent happily. And he didn't say anything about changing the taste for a few days, causing Steward Lu to want to vomit when he saw the wontons now.
But after walking for most of the day, his stomach was really hungry, Steward Lu rubbed his stomach, picked up the vinegar pot on the table and poured it into the bowl vigorously, intending to let the vinegar smell drown out the fishy taste in the wontons.
"What do you see? Isn't your vinegar here just for people to use? Didn't give you the money? ”
Steward Lu was suffocated by his own young lady, and when he saw that the wonton stall owner kept looking at him with his eyes, he could only vent his anger on the shopkeeper.
"It's a big deal to check out and give you two more pennies, okay?"
Steward Lu was generous to his own young lady, and the shopkeeper immediately nodded in response, as long as he gave money, he could put as much vinegar as he wanted.
Lu Weimang looked at the housekeeper like this, and smiled secretly in his heart.
My father is a Ma Daha, and his hands are not good, and the housekeeper is not far behind. This made him suffer the grievance of having no money, and he will dare to be bold in the future.
After eating the wontons, the master and servant sat on the wonton stall and talked.
"Miss, if you really can't think of it, buy a shop and rent it out, or buy a few acres of land outside Kyoto. Isn't that what everyone else does? ”
Lu Weimang hurriedly tightened his purse when he heard this, "Don't worry about the money I made from selling the house, that money is my business capital." And the two ways you said are not suitable for our family, we are a big family, and the burden is so heavy, and we collect a rent of two melons and dates every year, do you think that the meat-stuffed wontons are too meaty, and you want to eat bran for a few days? ”
Steward Lu suddenly shut up.
"What do you say? I heard you say that the family is difficult, eating chaff and vegetables, is the life of General Lu's Mansion so hard? I have some private money here that I can borrow from you. ”
Qin Xuan, who had disappeared for a few days, suddenly appeared, didn't treat himself as an outsider at all, sat next to Lu Weimang, and talked directly.
"Shopkeeper, here's a bowl of ravioli."
"Why are you eating here today, not going to Rongsheng Pavilion? Does the ravioli taste good here? ”
Qin Xuan's little boy is wearing a moon-white robe today, with a golden crown and jade belt, his spirit is flying, and the joy that comes out of the whole person from the inside has overflowed, and he can see that there must be happy events on this little boy from a distance of eight feet.
Lu Weimang was worried at the moment, and he felt sour when he looked at Qin Xiaogongzi's joy.
Lu Weimang was too lazy to talk, and Qin Xuan didn't care, so he scooped a wonton with a spoon and sent it to his mouth.
"Hmm..."
Maybe the taste of this wonton was unexpected, Qin Xuan opened his mouth and wanted to spit it out, but Lu Weimang's eyes quickly covered his mouth and blocked it.
Qin Xuan was forced to swallow the ravioli, and his tears came out.
Seeing Qin Xuan eat the wontons, Lu Weimang retracted his hand.
"You're murdering! You almost choked me to death just now. ”
Lu Weimang saw that he was a little embarrassed, and his mood suddenly became better, and he was also in the mood to talk to him.
"On the afternoon of hoeing day, sweat drops fall into the soil, who knows that the Chinese food on the plate is hard work. Gotta take care of food, you know? ”
Lu Weimang's face was serious.
Qin Xuan looked instructed, "Is this a poem you wrote?" It's really well written, it's not easy to grow food, and the heavenly family is still thrifty, and I really can't waste food. ”
After speaking, he picked up the wontons, and poured them all into his stomach one by one.
Lu Weimang and the housekeeper were dumbfounded.
"Ahem, it doesn't have to be that way."
Seeing Qin Xuan like this, Lu Weimang was a little embarrassed, and took out a salted plum from his purse and handed it over.
Qin Xuan took it and hurriedly threw it in his mouth, for fear that he would spit it out later.
"Why did you come out again today and didn't go to school?"
Lu Weimang changed the topic.
"Today is a day off. I can't wait to go to school these days, and those cheap mouths are scared by me. In the past, they always surrounded me, buzzing and annoying, but now, when I see it, I take a detour, which is so relieving. ”
Qin Xuan said with an excited face.
Lu Weimang also felt happy when he heard it, "You beat them, they didn't fight back?" ”
"I fought back, but those were straw bales with fists and embroidered legs, and I couldn't turn over like a turtle when I pressed them, and they couldn't hit me at all."
Qin Xuan was triumphant.
"What about your father? Didn't punish you? ”
In front of Wu Changbo, who came to the door, he verbally reprimanded, and then turned around and said that I played well. He also said that our big cadres are the world that fights, and those who break their mouths all day long should be beaten. ”
Lu Weimang finally knew why Qin Xuan was so happy, the child who was often ignored and reprimanded suddenly received praise from his father, of course he was happy in his heart, he was afraid that the sun would look like a flower at this time.
Lu Weimang nodded and smiled, happy for Qin Xuan.
Qin Xuan suddenly remembered Lu Weimang's distressed appearance just now.
"By the way, you were talking about the money for selling the house just now, the burden is heavy or something, is there a lack of money, I still have a few hundred taels here, give them to you."
As he spoke, he took out a roll of silver tickets from the purse on his waist and handed it to Lu Weimang, it seemed that there could be three or five hundred taels.
Lu Weimang looked at the silver ticket and sighed, "No need, you can take the flowers." My problem is not something that can be solved with a few hundred taels. ”
Since Qin Xuan met Lu Weimang, he has regarded this rare temperamental little sister as a friend, not to mention that she also gave herself ideas and was praised by her father, and now she has completely regarded Lu Weimang as her "brother". If my brother is in trouble, of course I have to help.
"This money is not enough, then I'll go back and find out my private money for you, but I don't have much private money, it's all about spending as much as I want. If I can't, I'll have to open my mouth to my mother. But it doesn't matter, my mother loves me the most, when I go out today, my mother gave me these pocket money, you wait a few days, I saved, how can I have a few thousand taels. ”
Jealousy makes people unrecognizable.
Look at other people, they are also noble people, the pocket money is given for hundreds of taels and hundreds of taels, and their total worth is not as much as other people's pocket money for a few days, of course, the 10,000 taels are not counted.
Although I know that one is a top honorary, and the other is barely enough to reach the tail of a noble.
Lu Weimang glanced at the housekeeper, and the housekeeper looked up at the sky.
"No, it's not about money. I'm worried about business. ”
Lu Weimang pushed the money back and said it truthfully.
It's rare to have someone of the same age to talk to, and Lu Weimang doesn't want to take other people's money. Friends should get along with each other on an equal footing.
"Do business, Weiwei, you are so good, you have to do your own business at such a young age. You take this money, just when I become a shareholder, you are so powerful, you will definitely be able to earn a lot of money, and I can be regarded as hitchhiking with you, and earn some pocket money in the future. ”
Lu Weimang was serious, but Qin Xuan was a little misunderstood, after all, Weiwei had already fallen to the point where he had to eat such an unpalatable wonton. Who would eat this if it wasn't particularly tough?
Looking at Qin Xuan, who had a serious face, for fear that he would see through his idea of wanting to help himself, Lu Weimang was helpless, took out his giant 10,000 taels of silver tickets, flashed in front of Qin Xuan's eyes, and quickly withdrew his purse.
"Do you see clearly? I have money. ”
"Miss, what was that just now? Silver ticket? How is it so big? ”
Steward Lu is old and doesn't see it clearly.
"No, it's a ledger I wrote."
"Oh~"
Steward Lu, I always feel that something is not right, is Miss fooling me?
Qin Xuan saw it clearly, he had only seen a large amount of silver tickets from his mother before, but he didn't expect that he was a rich man at a young age!
"Weiwei, since you are so rich, why do you still have to do business, isn't it good to buy some shops and fields to collect rent?"
Qin Xuan thought about the lively scene he saw at his mother's place, the report of the shop manager and the head of the village at the end of the year, and was a little puzzled.
Lu Weimang didn't know how to explain it. Shops in good locations have backgrounds, people like Qin Hou have good locations, high rents, and considerable annual income.
However, some shops in ordinary areas are expensive in Kyoto, and it is easy to rent out a shop for thousands of taels, but it is difficult to rent out if the annual rent exceeds 100 taels.
I used the money to collect rent, and the rent was not enough for two months.
"I don't want to be a charter company, I just want to make a career!"
Lu Weimang can only say this.
"Ambitious, slightly. You're right, who said we can't make a career when we're young. Weiwei you say, what business do we do? Salt? Grain? Or a restaurant? How much capital do you say, I will go back and ask my mother, we must sit up in business, become bigger and stronger, and achieve a career! ”
Qin Xuan didn't know that he had been touched, and his blood instantly became hot.
However, "I do the business, not us." ”
Lu Weimang emphasized.
"Hey, what's yours is mine, what's mine is yours, we're brothers, what do you and I do?"
