Chapter 33: Su Qiang's ambition
Su Qiang came quickly, and deliberately changed his clothes, and brought pastries to meet Su first, and Su was a little strange about this eldest nephew coming to the house.
Su Qiang sat in the hall a little cramped, and exchanged a few words with the Su family, although they were aunts and nephews, the Su family didn't have much contact with the Su family, so there was no feeling of relatives between them.
Qin Coriander walked over from the backyard, still stained with the aroma of spices, wearing a Yang Fei-colored goose rank reed pattern jacket, a feather-colored gold skirt with a line along the edge, and a butterfly silver hairpin and two pairs of velvet flowers on her head, compared to the Qin Coriander she saw before marriage, she was more delicate and delicate.
Su Qiang was a little out of shape, although he tried his best to suppress the throbbing in his heart.
"Mother, I invited my cousin to come to the house to talk about it, and I have something to tell my cousin." Qin Xun didn't care about Su Qiang's gaffe, but Su Shi said.
Su Shi nodded clearly, then got up and said, "You say, I'll go to the kitchen and have a look." ”
As soon as his mother left, Qin Xun looked at Su Qiang and said, "I invited my cousin over today for the teahouse." ”
For Su Qiang's eyes, how could Qin Xun not understand? So, she endured the nausea and just wanted to get things done quickly.
"Teahouse?" Su Qiang's heart was shocked, and his gaze at Qin Xun finally became serious.
"Two days ago, a shopkeeper of a teahouse in the county came to me and wanted to buy my shop."
Su Qiang's first reaction was to stop it, and he blurted out: "How can my cousin sell the shop?" Auntie is going to rely on it for her old age? ”
"Mother naturally has my daughter to support the elderly, and there is no need for others to worry about it." After Qin Xun choked him, he smiled faintly and said, "The teahouse was originally given to me by my father, so of course it is also my dowry." Now my husband needs a lot of silver taels to study, so I decided to sell the teahouse shop. ”
It is very difficult to get rent from that teahouse, and both of them know that they borrowed Aza's light last time, and they don't know what will happen next time? Therefore, Su Qiang thought about it carefully, but he also understood that Qin Xun was afraid that he was not lying.
But his family relied on the teahouse to establish himself in the town, and if there was no teahouse, I was afraid that he would have to go back to the countryside to farm. Even if you find another shop to open a teahouse, the situation is completely different, and whether you can make money is a matter of words.
Therefore, Su Qiang was flustered, and then looked at the woman in front of him, how could he have any charming thoughts. Now that I took a closer look, I found that Qin Xun had maintained an indifferent and calm face and gaze from beginning to end, and in terms of this cultivation, he was far from enough.
Facing Su Qiang, who was obviously anxious, Qin Xun was amused in her heart, she knew that the teahouse was their lifeblood, but it was a pity that her mother was timid before, and she never cared about these things, and was immersed in poetry and songs, piano music and fragrance, just thinking that those mundane things would make her tainted with cheesiness.
"Cousin, don't worry, listen to me." Qin Xun sighed lightly and said, "To be honest, I am very dissatisfied with the Su family, not to mention that there were few contacts before, just say that the second uncle's family also knows how to treat our mother and daughter cousin." As I thought, I just sold the shop. ”
"However, your aunt advised me to think more and not to do anything about it. I thought about it, but I decided to listen to my mother, alas, after all, you are my mother's relatives, so I decided to call my cousin over to inform me. ”
"Cousin, if you don't think about it anymore, I'll go back and talk to my second uncle, and the rent in the future will definitely be guaranteed to be paid, and there will be no delay." Su Qiang was still struggling with the matter of rent, and Qin Xun wanted to scold a fool.
"My cousin didn't think about buying the shop with the second uncle, this is a one-and-done thing, to be honest, although this shop is in my name, after all, it is still the property of the Qin family, one day my father came, and his mind moved to take it back, and you also have no place to cry."
The anxiety on Su Qiang's face dissipated in an instant, and he was stunned for a long time before asking: "What does Cousin Xun mean by selling the shop to us?" ”
Qin Xun nodded, it had already been pointed out to such an extent, she felt that it was enough.
"By the way, I only docked with my cousin on this matter, and if the second uncle comes, I will increase the price."
Su Qiang swallowed his saliva, his fingers trembled slightly, and asked, "How much silver will you sell me?" If you sell it to the second uncle, how much? ”
It seemed that he had finally reacted, and Qin Xun smiled with satisfaction.
She guessed that Su Qiang must be an ambitious person, even if she hadn't thought of replacing Su Lao Er as the shopkeeper of the teahouse before, now that Qin Xun has sent the opportunity to him, if he can't catch it, it will be a real waste.
"If the second uncle comes, then two hundred taels of silver, cousin, one hundred and eighty taels will do."
One hundred and eighty taels, Su Qiang gasped, how could he have so much? Besides, the same shop in the town is only about 150 to 180 taels at most. In other words, Qin Xun took the highest price and sold it to himself, but he still wanted to take a favor, which was really a good calculation.
Finally adjusted his brain, Su Qiang looked at Qin Xun and said with a smile: "Cousin, you see that we are relatives after all, you and your aunt don't have a brother to help, in the future, if there is something to do, there will not even be an errand runner, cousin, you will lower the price, cousin promises to take care of your aunt and cousin in the future." ”
Qin Xun sneered: "Thank you cousin for your kindness, you don't need to take care of it, as long as you don't continue to take advantage of us, it's Amitabha." ”
Su Qiang's face flushed in disgust, and he wanted to explain but couldn't find the right words.
Seeing it in Qin Xun's eyes, he sneered in his heart, but his face calmed down, hesitated for a moment, and then agreed: "That's it, I'll drop it to one hundred and sixty taels, but you have to be more respectful to my mother in the future, can you?" ”
"Okay, okay, okay!" Su Qiang was very happy, watching the second uncle live a chic and comfortable life, Su Qiang dreamed of being the master of the teahouse by himself.
The business of the teahouse is very good, and the daily flow of water passes through his hands, but it is only a passing one; On weekdays, the second uncle is as tightly guarded as a thief, and he can only secretly pick up some money for it.
Su Qiang was ambitious, but he also knew that he didn't have the money to win the two-story shop.
Where the money comes from is a big question.
The Su family's money is given to grandparents, except for the second uncle, of course. Therefore, the three melons and two dates in the hands of Su Qiang's father and mother are basically useless, and grandma knows it, and the second uncle also knows that this road will not work.
Suddenly, it occurred to him that someone could help him.
Thinking of this, he didn't care about anything else, stood up and said to Qin Xun: "Cousin Xun first slowed down and promised others, I will go to raise money, cousin rest assured, I will give my cousin an answer as soon as possible." ”
Qin Xun reluctantly agreed to wait for him for a day: "The shopkeeper of the county teahouse is in a hurry, I can only give you one day, if you don't come after a day, I will sell it to them directly, cousin, don't blame me for being ruthless when the time comes." ”
"Okay, I got it." Su Qiang gritted his teeth, turned around and went home.
Tao Niang was walking around the yard with the baby in her arms, and Su Qiang, who saw the wind and fire running in, asked in surprise: "Why are you back now?" ”
Su Qiang looked around, and when he saw that there was no one, he whispered: "I want to go to the old place, I have something to look for you." ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw Huang walking out of the door of the hall and asked, "Su Qiang, you are lazy again, see that I will go back to the village and not tell your grandmother, let them clean you up." ”
