Chapter Forty-Three: Spending Money Like Dirt

Coming out of the rouge shop, Su Yaxian took Qi Lele's hand: "Is Le'er tired?"

"I'm not tired."

Su Yaxian asked again, "I didn't talk much when I first saw you, didn't you like it?"

If I don't open my mouth, you've bought so much, won't it be more if I open my mouth again?

Qi Lele said sincerely: "My mother has a good eye, and I have picked out all the good-looking ones in the store, so naturally I don't have to speak."

Su Yaxian said this very much: "Good! Let's go to the embroidery shop and buy some silk thread."

"Okay."

Silk thread, that's fine!

As a result, when she arrived at the embroidery workshop, Qi Lele knew that she was naïve, and there were many kinds of silk threads in many colors!

Looking at Su Yaxian's posture of a dozen of each line and each color as if she were restocking, she deeply felt the gap between herself and her mother-in-law.

"Where are we going to go later?" Taking advantage of Su Yaxian's lack of attention, Qi Lele asked Xie Zi'an in a low voice.

"What?"

Qi Lele said, "It's nothing, just ask."

Xie Zi'an lowered his head to look at her, this person is afraid that he doesn't know, his thoughts are written on his face, right?

"What do you like?"

Qi Lele shook his head decisively: "No! Not really!"

"If I don't buy you something this time, I'm afraid my mother won't agree."

Qi Lele sighed, "But I'm really not used to receiving favors for no reason."

Her grandmother taught her since she was a child that girls must not take other people's things for nothing, otherwise they may have to pay them back in the future.

And the best negative teaching material is her own mother. is obviously a smart and beautiful girl, but she is lost in material things step by step, and finally lives a mess of life, and she can never go back.

"You are my wife, my mother's daughter-in-law, where is it for no reason?"

Qi Lele felt a warmth flow in his heart, but he still said, "But I really don't lack anything!"

"If there is no shortage, look everywhere, and if there is a good eye, take it." Xie Zi'an asked, "Do you want to accompany your mother to go shopping for clothes and jewelry?"

Qi Lele: "......"

"I'm a little curious, how much money does my family make every year?" I can stand up to you squandering like this!

Xie Zi'an touched the tip of his nose: "Actually, I haven't entered for a long time."

Qi Lele: "!!"

"When I left home, I sold my family property and took it with me."

Xu is Qi Lele's expression was so shocked that Xie Zi'an, who had never considered the issue of money, subconsciously began to reflect: "I discussed with my father and mother some time ago, and I am going to buy some properties, and I will settle down in Shangxi Village in the future."

Qi Lele looked at the sky silently.

"I entrusted Uncle Wang, he has been busy looking for fields and woodlands these days, and when we buy woodland, we will also follow to raise silkworms."

Qi Lele finally couldn't help but speak: "Raising silkworms is a delicate job, and if you are not careful, you will have to work for a year in vain! In addition, the output of the field is limited." It's not enough for you to spend like this!

Xie Zi'an asked, "Then buy some shops in the city to collect rent?"

Qi Lele: "......"

She really doesn't understand the world of rich people!

Xie Zi'an touched the tip of his nose again: "Actually, I have been in charge of the family's accounts and expenses in the past two years, but I am really not good at this, so I will follow the way my mother was in charge of the family."

I'm afraid it's not like my mother spends money, right? I just said that there may not be any cloth he likes in other stores!

Qi Lele crossed his fingers and persuaded earnestly: "The idea of buying a field is good, but it is better to buy a high-quality field, whether it is self-growing, renting, or reselling in the future, it is much more convenient and worry-free."

"The price of forest land is relatively cheap, so if you really make up your mind to raise silkworms, you should buy some and try it first."

"However, if you buy a shop just to rent it, you have to find out how good or bad the shop business is in each section, how much the rent is, and how much the value of the shop is. You can't just buy it casually, just in case

If you can't rent it out, and you can't sell it, won't you smash it?"

Xie Zi'an's eyes flashed with a hint of difference, and said, "Madame is very right, I wonder if Madame is willing to help her husband steward?"

Qi Lele's heart was full of alarm bells: "No! Neither will I!"

Xie Zi'an smiled, "Then Madame would like to give her husband a few pointers once in a while?"

Qi Lele blinked and said, "Okay, then you don't even want to go to the Silk Village to buy cloth clothes in the future!"

"Why?"

"Such a big shop, such a good decoration, so many shopkeepers, don't you have to spend money? The money must not be earned back from the goods?"

Xie Zi'an said, "But his family's fabric is indeed the most complete and the best."

"What do you want to do all that? Can you bring one of each?"

Xie Zi'an silently swallowed back the words on his lips.

Qi Lele made the final decision: "Except for food, it is not worth spending a lot of money on the side!"

"Okay, let's go buy some spices and ingredients later."

Qi Lele's eyelids jumped: "You don't have to buy too much, those at home are actually enough for a long time."

Xie Zi'an turned his head slightly, and there was an irrepressible smile in his eyes.

"Finished? Shall you go and pay the money?"

The two turned around and found Su Yaxian standing behind them, with a smile on the corner of her lips, and they didn't know how long they had been watching.

Xie Zi'an excused himself to pay the bill and walked away, and the Qi Lele he left behind instantly became a cooked shrimp.

Su Yaxian didn't joke anymore, but asked, "What flower and bird patterns does Le'er like?" My mother will embroider a sachet for you."

"I like all the embroidery."

"Good." Su Yaxian said, "I've picked out all the things I want, I'll buy you a few pieces of jewelry later."

Sure enough, it came! Knowing the mother Mo Ruozi!

At Su Yaxian's insistence, the three of them had to go back, and Qi Lele's gaze inadvertently swept over a shop, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Mother, I think that hairpin is good, why don't we go and take a look?"

Su Yaxian looked at her hand and bowed slightly: "Yes, let's go and have a look."

Qi Lele's favorite hairpin is placed on the shelf of a grocery store, the whole is quaint black, faintly with golden lines, especially in the sun, the gold thread is more obvious, I don't know what kind of wood it is.

Although it is a wooden hairpin, the carving is very exquisite, the butterfly at the top is vivid, the lines of the wings are delicate, and the gold thread pattern of the wood is fully utilized, as if it is about to fly.

At this point, Qi Lele actually regretted it a little, this wooden hairpin really didn't look like a bargain.

"How much does this hairpin cost?"

The shopkeeper was a dark and thin middle-aged man, lazily nestled in the rocking chair, shrugging his eyelids, hearing the question, lazily stretched out his finger, and compared to three.

Qi Lele secretly took a breath, this wooden hairpin actually cost three taels of silver!

Xie Zi'an asked again, "Is there any new product in the near future?"

The shopkeeper still didn't say anything, but pointed back with his finger, meaning to find it himself.

Qi Lele was amazed, can you really make money when the willfulness of the boss is like this?

However, it didn't take long for Qi Lele to be slapped in the face by himself. It's really that although this shop is small, the items are still messy, but there are many good things!

Even kombu has it!

You must know that this thing was mostly a tribute in ancient times!

In the end, the three of them picked and bought a lot of things, and even selected several packets of seeds.

When I came out of the grocery store, it was close to noon. Su Yaxian finally stopped mentioning the matter of buying jewelry, which finally made Qi Lele breathe a sigh of relief.

Everything that should be bought was bought, and the three of them went to find Xie Dai.

Xie Dai was in a study, drinking tea, reading books, and serving a leisurely and comfortable life.

Seeing them coming, Xie Dai closed the book in his hand and casually put it on the stack of books next to him: "That's all."

The young and white shopkeeper smiled and said, "Okay, wait for other people's things to deliver."

Come, and I'll arrange for someone to send them to the house."

Qi Lele: "......"

Let's just say why I bought so many things all the way, and I didn't see Xie Zi'an carrying things, and I felt that these stores were all delivered to my home?

Wait a minute! All the ones on the table to buy?

That's the Eight Immortals Table! How much money does this get!

What kind of family is the Xie family?
