Chapter 191: Conservatory

Because Lu Quan and the Qiu couple entered Beijing, the happiest thing was the shopkeeper Li, and the two children were finally taken care of by adults.

The Li family's reunion dinner was not eaten, and the Lu family set a twenty-six and invited the Li family to come to the new house for dinner.

It's like moving to a new house to eat warm house wine.

The four girls in the shopkeeper Li, except for the eldest daughter who stayed at home to recruit sons-in-law, the fourth girl, the second girl and the third girl in the boudoir have all been married.

The second girl Li and the third girl Li are both married in Yangzhou, and the second aunt of the Li family is the little son of Yangzhou Silk Village. I also came to Beijing this year, and I also wanted to use my father-in-law's connections in Beijing to open a silk shop by myself.

The third aunt of the Li family is driving a horse, since the Li shopkeeper and his family have a foothold in Beijing, the third aunt of the Li family has arrived in the capital with the three girls, and now he has opened a ready-to-wear shop next to the auspicious building.

This ready-to-wear shop is still the pattern and dress painted by Lu Yangge back then, and the wife of the shopkeeper Li opened a ready-to-wear shop in Yangzhou. Later, Miss Li San got married, and this ready-to-wear shop married Miss Li San.

Miss Li San is also the most ingenious of the sisters, and this shop is the best in her hands.

On the 26th, the people who came to the Lu family were the shopkeeper Li and his wife, the eldest daughter's family, and the four daughters who had not yet left the cabinet.

Back then, the shopkeeper Li wanted Lu Xiaosi to join the Li family, because the Lu family was poor, had no house and no land, and it was not difficult to use the Li family's property to join the Li family, but it was a kind of help.

But now, thinking of his delusions back then, Shopkeeper Li feels that his old face has nowhere to rest. Fortunately, Lu Xiaosi is not the kind of narrow-minded person, otherwise, how could he have the present of his Li family.

The two families had a lively meal at two tables for men and women, and the four girls of the Li family, Li Runjie and Lu Xiaoyu, were of the same age, and the two had met before, and they fit each other's eyes. It's okay to sit together during dinner, and when dinner is eaten, Lu Xiaoyu leads Li Runjie to her room to sit down, and Li Runjie's little girl immediately doesn't even want to go home.

In her family, her three sisters are all married, and she accompanies her mother at home on weekdays, unlike Lu Xiaoyu and Lu Qingluan.

Lu Xiaoyu has been following her two sisters to manage the family's shop outside, she has a good abacus, fast accounting, bold and flexible enough.

Although Lu Qingluan is young, he has followed Lu Yangge to Qingshan Academy to study and practice calligraphy since he was a child, and then went to the store to check and manage the accounts.

With these two sisters with very different personalities, Li Runjie felt that she was an eye-opener and more agreed with what her father said.

As long as a girl works hard, she can also do some things, instead of just doing a female red at home to learn needlework, and finally marrying out a husband and teaching children, and growing old in the house all her life.

At the beginning of the chat, Lu Xiaoyu pulled Li Runjie and asked affectionately: "Xiaosi said that he just bought two small shops in Beijing, but he hasn't thought about what to do yet, so he asked me and my little sister if we want to open a shop to play." Jie girl, do you want to go with us to see the meal later? ”

"Open a shop to play?" Li Runjie felt that her three views had been impacted, "The purpose of opening a shop is to make money, how can it be playing?" ”

Lu Xiaoyu smiled sweetly: "Our two families are not short of the money we earn, Xiao Si said, if we want to open a shop to practice, we will focus on our own preferences." Anyway, the shop is our own, no rent, we have some private money in our hands, just take it out and play. If we don't even know how to do business and how to use people, our father and mother will give us more marriage, won't we have to sit and eat nothing? ”

Li Runjie didn't expect that a girl as big as Lu Xiaoyu would talk about her in-laws. The people she listened to were more embarrassed than the people who spoke.

However, she didn't want to preach about this, so she just asked, "How much money does that cost?" ”

Lu Qingluan smiled shyly: "I have more than five hundred taels of silver there, if it's not enough, I can ask the fourth brother to borrow it, and then I can repay him with interest." ”

Li Runjie's voice changed: "You...... Do you have more than five hundred taels of silver in your private house? ”

Although she is in the capital and has little contact with the Lu family sisters, Li Runjie still knows Lu Qingluan's identity. Lu Qingluan was bought by Lu Xiaosi, and she is the adopted daughter of the Lu family. An adopted daughter who has only been bought for five years has a private house of more than 500 taels of silver, no matter how you think about it, Li Runjie can't believe it.

You must know that she is the old daughter of the Li family, and the silver in her hand is only more than two hundred taels. This is still because my father has been doing business in the capital for many years, and the business is doing well, and the money is loose. If she had been in Jiangjiaba a few years ago, she would have had a lot of money if she could have two or three taels in her hand.

Lu Qingluan thought that Li Runjie didn't believe it, and explained: "Well, I rarely spend it, and I have food and clothing at home." Every month, my mother will give two taels of silver per month, plus the New Year's money given by my father's brothers and sisters every year. There is also the annual dividend in the store, and the daughter of the family has it, and I also have it. ”

At this time, Li Runjie understands that this Lu Qingluan, the Lu family is indeed raised as a daughter.

In her family, although the four sisters were all born to her father, and her father did not marry a concubine in the second room, she did not have dividends in the store. Of course, waiting for her to marry must be very rich, even if it is compared with the second sister and the third sister back then, it is not bad, not to mention that in the past few years, her father's business has been booming, and when it is her turn to marry, the natural dowry will be better.

Thinking that an adopted daughter has more money than her private house, Li Runjie didn't know how to say it for a while. Facing Lu Xiaoyu's bright gaze, she couldn't help but be curious, and asked, "How many private rooms does Sister Xiaoyu have?" ”

Li Runjie was immediately a little annoyed after speaking, feeling that she had overstepped, and hurriedly added, "Actually, I just asked casually, and I ...... if I don't say it."

"It's about two or three thousand taels, but it's only a few hundred taels of silver." Lu Xiaoyu frowned, "I haven't counted the specifics, because I am different from my younger sister, I have invested money, and the shops opened by the eldest sister and the second sister have the silver money I invested." At the beginning, I just said that I would just take the money, regardless of experience, and give me dividends every year. ”

All right!

Now Li Runjie is really convinced.

She always thought that as a girl from the Li family, she was already lucky. Compared with the girl of the Lu family, she is just a little girl who embroiders with her mother in the inner house all day long. And the girl of the Lu family has her own business in the boudoir.

Fortunately, Li Runjie is very similar to her father Li Shopkeeper, smart and open-minded, and when she learned that the Lu family sisters were richer than her, the first thing she thought of was that she had to go back and ask her father for more private money. It's best to ask Dad if she can also get a shop to practice.

Just like Sister Xiaoyu said, earning money is secondary, hobbies are the key, and she thinks that as long as she learns from the Lu sisters, she will definitely be able to learn many things that her mother and several sisters can't teach.

Even her father will be impressed by her one day.
