Chapter 42: Preparing to buy a shop
Thinking of the charity she did a lot in her previous life.
Xiang Xi is not weak at all.
"Really?" Goldman Sachs found out that what he was thinking about was Xiang Xi's sincerity to himself and whether she was messing around to hurt herself, but as for deception, he didn't care at all.
Especially looking at her flattering eyes, and those beautiful eyes full of smiles, my heart softened.
"Of course." Xiang Xi approached him, his eyes shining, "I won't hurt you if I hurt anyone." ”
Her mouth couldn't be sweeter.
The corners of Goldman Sachs' mouth involuntarily rose.
Only when Xiang Xi looked over did he restrain himself, cough lightly and say, "Well, I see." ”
"Then tomorrow I'll go to the town to find a shop."
"Is it enough to buy a shop?"
"It's enough for the time being, and the shops in the town can usually be bought for seventy or eighty taels."
Is it not enough to buy two shops, Xiang Xi was about to think about it, if she said that she would lower her head and pick up the authenticity of a hundred taels of silver tickets, Gao Xuan and Gao Yun came back.
"Dick?"
"Why are you back, third?" Gao Mu had just boiled the hot water when she heard Gao Yun shouting in the yard and walked out.
Xiang Xi also walked out of the wing room curiously.
Gao Yun saw that his family was there, his face flushed slightly, and after greeting Xiang Xi Gaosheng, he asked Gao's mother, "Mother, do you know about the second brother's business?" ”
"The second brother and sister-in-law are really amazing, they have earned so much silver." Gao Yun's words were full of praise.
Gao's mother subconsciously glanced at Xiang Xi and Goldman Sachs, the two couples had just quarreled with Liu Yuanyuan, and they might not be willing to do business together, at least slowly.
She looked indifferent, "Well, that's what happened. ”
"How did you get back? Isn't there no holiday yet? ”
Gao Yun scratched his head shyly, "I came back from leave, and the second brother said that he wanted to arrange for me to go to the county to study, and I had to come back to discuss with my father and mother, after all, it costs a lot to go to the county, and I can't use the silver of the second brother and sister-in-law." ”
"I mainly want to ask my father and mother, what do you think."
In the evening, in response to this incident, the whole Gao family sat in the hall.
Father Gao smoked a dry cigarette in his hand and glanced at Gao Xuan, "Second brother, you said that you let your third brother go to the county to study, not to mention how much silver you need to transfer to the academy, just say that the cost of bundling, room and board, paper, ink, pen and inkstone, etc., have you calculated how much you need in a year?" ”
"Are you borrowing money to give your third brother to study, or are you sponsoring him? It's all a family, so I won't hide it and ask it clearly. ”
Gao Xuan bowed, "Dad, I have calculated, these expenses are not much different from those in the town, at most forty taels of silver a year." ”
"If the third brother is promising, he will be able to take the Xiucai exam next year, get the fame of the emperor, and the imperial court will also give five taels of silver and six stones of grain every year."
"Dad, compared to these silvers, the future of the third brother is more important, doesn't our family just want to give the third brother his studies?"
Gao Xuan's speech is much better than Li Yuanyuan's, starting from the future of the Gao family itself, even Daddy Gao is a little moved.
"What if your third brother never fails the test?" Daddy Gao's voice was low.
Gao Xuan subconsciously retorted, "Isn't the third brother very good at reading, I have asked Master Liu, and the other party said that the third brother will be completely fine next year." ”
"I'll think about it again." Although Daddy Gao said this, everyone here could see that he was just polite, and he was afraid that he would agree without waiting for tomorrow.
Obviously, Goldman Sachs also thinks the same, he did not open his mouth to hinder the future of the third brother, but was happy for them.
After the others left, Goldman Sachs privately told Gao's father about buying a shop in the town.
After hearing this, Daddy Gao stopped talking, "Boss, are you still angry with your second brother?" ”
"Dad, no, I know what you're going to say, Xiaoxi and the second brother and sister can't get along, it's nothing, anyway, they're all separated, the two sides don't live together, naturally there won't be any contradictions, and I also hope that the second brother can get over as much as possible." Goldman Sachs took the initiative to mention this matter, without the slightest jealousy on his face, only calm, "The matter of buying a shop is my idea, no matter what, there must be some source of income, and it will not drag you down in the future." ”
"The shop is in Xiaoxi's name, it is only counted as her dowry, I am still a farmer, not a merchant, in the future, Xiaoxi and I are also ready to buy more land, not to buy a shop, the village is the root, not to ignore." Goldman Sachs explained clearly.
Father Gao put his mind at ease, "That's good, your second brother's entry into business is a foregone conclusion, but your mother and I don't want you to do the same, although you can earn a lot of silver, but you can't take the imperial examination within three generations of children and grandchildren, I believe that you and Xiaoxi's ability will not lack silver flowers." ”
"Hmm." Goldman Sachs bowed, he still has this bit of confidence, he already has some ideas in his heart, and he will only mention it when it is done.
"Okay, good, you know it in your heart." Daddy Gao put his mind at ease, although he still felt that the second couple didn't pay back the money after making money, which was a little unrealistic, but his son was promising, and it was difficult for him to be unhappy when he was a father. ”
This matter was decided.
Goldman Sachs left the hall and went to the kitchen to bring a basin of hot water back to the room.
Xiang Xi was lying at the end of the bed looking for winter clothes in the wooden box, to be worn when he went out tomorrow, a pair of petite pink and lovely jade feet were dangling in the air.
Goldman Sachs' eyes deepened, and he reached out to carry her to the side of the bed and pressed her feet into the hot water.
"It's warm." Xiang Xi felt that his whole body was hot, the cold dissipated, and he was still holding a jacket in one hand, "Xianggong, go and take out my cotton pants." ”
Goldman Sachs got up and went to take out all her clothes and put them on the stool so she could get them when she got up early tomorrow morning.
"Xianggong, you are also here to soak your feet."
Goldman Sachs casually found a reason, "I'll go to the kitchen to soak in a while, and there is still a little hot water left." ”
Xiang Xi blinked, oh, looked at his back as he left in a hurry, touched his chin, thoughtfully, and when Goldman came back, Xiang Xi was already lying on the bed, it was cold to the bone in winter, although it was a new quilt, the quilt was still cold.
After Goldman Sachs lay down, Xiang Xi was clever and rolled into his arms.
Goldman Sachs' movements were slightly stiff, and before he could react, Xiang Xi had already found a comfortable position by himself and fell asleep.
He was even more difficult to move now, for fear of waking her up.
The night was getting late, and Xiang Xi felt as if he was holding a stove all night, not cold at all.
Morning.
It's rare for a family to have breakfast neatly at the same table.
Liu Yuanyuan may have been stimulated by Xiang Xi's poisonous tongue, so she unexpectedly didn't look for anything else in the morning, and finished breakfast silently.
Until Goldman Sachs went to push the stall truck.
Xiang Xi was wearing a hat and a rabbit fur collar, standing at the gate of the courtyard waiting for him, Liu Yuanyuan passed by her, deliberately revealing the winter coat made of fine silk cloth on her body, and said highly, "Sister-in-law, I had good intentions, since you don't accept it, then I will move to the county town with my husband and my family to live in a big courtyard, and I hope that my sister-in-law will not come to the door to fight the autumn breeze." ”
