Chapter 48: Asking for Money
As Duan Yunlang came in, Xin Yu subconsciously glanced at the door.
Duan Yunlang reacted extremely quickly: "The eldest brother said that he wanted to warm up the book for a while, let's ignore him and go back first." ”
"Okay."
Seeing Xin Yu agree, Duan Yunlang breathed a sigh of relief, and sighed on the way back: "Cousin Qing, I've heard that someone set fire to it a few days ago, it's so difficult to open a bookstore!" ”
Xin Yu held the curtain of the car and smiled at the young man walking on horseback: "It's hard to read." ”
Hearing this topic, Duan Yunlang immediately wrinkled his face, thinking about the upcoming monthly exam, he sighed.
"The second son and cousin are back." With the passage, the two walked into the Ruyi Hall.
When the old lady saw her granddaughter and grandson coming back together, she smiled on her face, and what she was about to say was temporarily suppressed.
"Qingqing, come and sit next to my grandmother."
Xin Yu walked to the old lady and sat down with a smile on her lips, completely unable to see the unhappiness of the grandfather and grandson a few days ago.
"Is it customary for a person to eat and live outside?"
"Grandmother Lao is worried, everything is fine."
After asking like this, Xin Yu went to the courtyard of the second wife Zhu to ask for peace to the Zhu family, and then returned to Wanqingju.
Wanqingju was quiet, and it was clear that he hadn't been away for long, but there was a feeling of emptiness.
This feeling was broken with Xiaolian's shout: "The girl is back." ”
Mother Wang and Mama Li, the two servants, walked out quickly, and saluted Xin Yu in unison: "Girl." ”
Xiaolian wondered: "What about Hanxue?" ”
Mother Wang said cautiously: "Two days ago, Hanxue was transferred to the old lady's yard. ”
"Yo, this is lucky, I was taken by the old lady."
Hearing the sarcasm in Xiaolian's tone, Wang's mother was silent.
"I heard that it was her old son who begged Yang to manage the personnel deployment." This time it was Mama Li who spoke.
Xin Yu couldn't help but glance at Mama Li.
She still remembered the hands that grabbed Xiaolian's neck in the picture. This Mama Li is Qiao's person, and with Qiao's being suspended, Qiao's snobbery in Shaoqing's Mansion collapsed, and Mama Li, who stayed in Wanqingju, became an inconspicuous existence.
Mama Li's reply made Xin Yu feel interesting.
The person who originally wanted to harm Xiaolian conveyed the intention of getting closer to her. People's choices are indeed subject to change.
Xiaolian pouted when she heard this: "You really have the ability-"
"People go to high places." Xin Yu said lightly, raised his feet and walked towards the house.
Xiaolian didn't follow up, but took out the key to open the door of the room that was used as a storeroom and counted her things.
These things are worth a lot of money. In the future, when you come back, you will count it once, so that people can save it.
When it was almost noon, Ruyitang sent a message and ate lunch together in Ruyitang.
Xin Yu cleaned up and went out the door, and met Duan Yunling, the third girl who was obviously waiting for her, on the way.
"Cousin Qing, how are you doing in the bookstore these days?"
"There was a little trouble, but it was all solved."
Duan Yunling's face was shocked: "I wanted to go to see you, but my grandmother said that the eldest sister and the second sister were not like it, so let me go out less often." ”
At the mention of Duan Yunhua, Duan Yunling blinked and whispered: "Since the second sister was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall, grandmother will not allow her to leave the hospital, and Cousin Qing should not be able to see her today." ”
Xin Yu didn't care if she would see Duan Yunhua, and her cousin chatted casually to Ruyi Hall.
Lunch was placed in the hall, the old lady, Duan Shaoqing, Zhu's mother and daughter, Duan Yunchen and Duan Yunlang, the two brothers, and then Xin Yu and Duan Yunling, everyone was together, and the second master Duan Wenbai was not in the house today.
During the meal, everyone was speechless, and when the tea was drunk after the meal, the old lady began to ask.
"Chen'er, Lang'er, how is your homework these days?"
Duan Yunchen looked indifferent: "Grandmother Lao is worried, and her homework is fine." ”
Duan Yunlang was much weaker, and said with a dry smile that it was okay.
The old lady glanced at him: "Every time I say it's okay like your eldest brother, I am dumbfounded every time the results come out." ”
Duan Yunlang took a sip of tea and was silent.
With what he knows about his grandmother, the more he talks, the more he is trained, and it is better to keep his mouth shut.
The old lady's focus was not on Duan Yunlang, and she turned her eyes to look at Xin Yu: "Qingqing, my grandmother heard that someone set fire to the bookstore?" ”
Xin Yu put down the teacup: "There is such a thing, the person has been sent to the official, and he has not been found out by whom." ”
"As I said a long time ago, running a bookstore is not simple, and there are too many things to worry about inside and out."
Xin Yu lowered her head slightly, showing a little well-behaved: "Qingqing knows now." ”
The corners of the old lady's mouth rose unconsciously: "How is the bookstore business?" ”
"Business is very quiet."
"I've said it a long time ago—"
Without waiting for the old lady to persuade her to return to Shaoqing's Mansion honestly, Xin Yu's eyes suddenly turned red: "It's Qingqing who thought too simple before, thinking that such a big bookstore could earn some pocket money, but I didn't expect it to be a loss, so I filled in all the monthly money I had saved in just a few days." My grandmother will give me some more money, or the bookstore I took over will be closed. ”
The smile on the corner of the old lady's mouth suddenly condensed.
Duan Shaoqing put the teacup down, frowned, and said, "Qingqing, your grandmother is right, running a bookstore is not a simple matter, you can't cope with it as a little girl, so you should come home-"
Xin Yu pursed her lips aggrievedly: "It's not easy to run a bookstore, but from the beginning, Qingqing didn't have the money to run a bookstore, and my grandmother only gave me the money to buy a bookstore." ”
Duan Yunlang was shocked: "Cousin Qing, you didn't even bring the money from the business turnover?" ”
Duan Shaoqing was already blocked by Xin Yu's words, and he was even more angry when he heard his nephew's words.
This idiot!
"Stereotyped printing, buying stories, artisan wages, all kinds of food...... Money is needed everywhere. Xin Yu counted them one by one, looking at the old lady with a blank eye, "Qingqing also knew that not only do you need money to buy a shop, but also the cost of business." ”
The people sitting around the table also looked at the old lady.
How many grandchildren are there, what does the old lady want to face, she took a deep breath and asked in a calm tone: "How much does it cost?" ”
"I thought, five thousand taels must be enough."
The old lady shook her hand, and her face sank uncontrollably: "Qingqing, you are young and don't count the money, do you know what kind of huge sum of money is five thousand taels?" ”
"Qingqing knows. But I spent 20,000 taels to buy a bookstore, and if it was to close in a few days because there was no operating turnover money, it would be a pity, and I would be unwilling to think about it. ”
Hearing the words "unwilling", the old lady's temples jumped, and she endured her heart and said: "Give you two thousand taels, if you still can't operate, you will close the bookstore and go home." ”
Xin Yu raised her lips: "Thank you, grandmother." ”
On the way back to the bookstore, Xiaolian looked at Xin Yu's eyes full of admiration: "Girl, you are so powerful, you got back two thousand taels when you went back to Shaoqing's Mansion for a meal!" ”
