Shen Yu smiled angrily and poked his forehead: "You are really big and small!" ”

The husband and wife glanced at each other, and Old Man Xu should be able to keep it...... bar.

Chapter 18

Huai'an wants to make money, but adults are like kicking ball.

Shen Yu kicked him in a ball and threw him to Xu Tinglan, who tied him in a bow and threw it to his grandfather.

The next day, at the cost of making up for his homework in the evening, Huai'an went to Xu's house with the gifts prepared by his parents. Xu Tinglan was inconvenient to return to his parents' house when he was filial piety, so since Huai'an came out of the filial piety period, he came to see his grandparents alone.

The Xu family's mansion is several times larger than the Shen family, and the garden view is more chic. The flower windows on the walls are of different shapes, and behind each one there is a different scenery, or the branches and leaves are scattered, or the flowers are vibrant, and at first glance, the florists who paid a high price are carefully taken care of.

After passing through the corridors and a few moon gates, Huai'an came to the inner house,

His maternal grandparents have always loved him, and they hugged him in their arms for a long time, and then they called out his uncle Xu Shaoang.

The uncle is still very young, only in his early twenties, and has already taken over most of the family's industry, listening to Huai'an's thoughts, he smiled back and forth, and endured it again under the sharp gaze of the second elder.

Master Xu looked at his grandson, and his heart was broken.

The Xu family has been in business for generations, and the ability to do business is engraved in their bones, but they have never made a serious reputation, which is very unfavorable to the long-term development of the family in the era of heavy agriculture and business suppression.

The most talented person in the family is her daughter Xu Tinglan, but unfortunately her daughter is unable to start a career. I finally married a scholar, and my son-in-law lived up to my expectations, how did the child born go into business again?!

……

Huai'an saw Master Xu's hesitation, threw himself into his grandfather's arms, and kept brainwashing him.

Publishing a book is a very elegant thing, making money is not the goal, the purpose is to give more children the opportunity to get a better education, what a great merit!

Master Xu was amused by his grandson, and gave his eldest son a look and asked him to "take it seriously", which is a very elegant and serious thing.

Xu Shaoang coughed dryly and sat up straight, and said to his eldest nephew that the Xu family did have a bookstore, but the scale was extremely small, and there was no business, so he was not very sure whether it could meet Huai'an's requirements. So he called the shopkeeper of the bookstore and chatted with Huai'an about the private engraving business.

Xu Shaoang doesn't like poetry, and he doesn't even like to watch miscellaneous dramas, so he didn't run this bookstore with his heart, the shopkeeper is called Li Shancai, as his name suggests, he is not a cultural person, watching other people's bookstores run prosperously, and there is nothing to envy.

The proprietor is not careful, and the shopkeeper is not good at it, but it is just open there.

Hearing that there was business coming to the door, Shopkeeper Li's eyes lit up, and then he looked at the child in front of him, he was stunned in place.

If the business is not good, forget it, you have to accompany the children of the owner to play at home, and your life is hard!

"Uh......" I only heard the shopkeeper Li say dryly: "Yes, yes." But the engraving master was poached a few years ago, and he needed to hire someone again. ”

Huai'an took out a stack of money orders and put them on the table, and asked with big eyes, "Is this money enough?" ”

Master Xu took him in his arms, crying and laughing, wanting to tell him the truth that wealth is not exposed, but he felt that he couldn't bear to blame, but fortunately he was in his own home, and there were no outsiders.

Shopkeeper Li's eyes straightened: "Enough is enough, all this money is enough to take down the bookstore." ”

"Really!?" Huai'an's eyes lit up, put his arms around his grandfather's neck, and kissed him on the face: "Good grandfather, sell me the bookstore!" ”

Xu Shaoang's teacup was not stable and spilled himself.

"The bookstore sold you?" Master Xu laughed: "Good boy, have courage!" ”

"Is it going to work?" Huai'an shook his grandfather's arm like candy, not reluctantly.

Master Xu said dotingly: "What to talk about whether to sell or not, as long as you don't dislike it, your grandfather will give it to you, and you should make up for your birthday gift." ”

Because Huai'an didn't have a birthday this year, he didn't receive any decent gifts. Master Xu had actually prepared a full set of the four treasures of the study room to give him, all of which were famous products, and their value was definitely above this bookstore.

"No! Doing business, talking business. Huai'an said with a straight face.

Master Xu let out another hearty laugh and said, "Okay!" That's business. ”

After that, he ordered the eldest son to take Huai'an to the bookstore to see the scene.

The bookstore is really not big, the small courtyard of the second entrance, the front yard is engraved and printed, and the backyard is lived.

Huai'an knows how to understand the printing utensils of this era, the business is not good, it can be seen that the engraving master was poached, and the craftsmen in the yard did not start work, squatting in the yard to bask in the sun.

Seeing the proprietor and the shopkeeper come in with a noble baby, he slowly got up from the ground, patted the soil on his body, and looked lazy.

Huai'an looked around and felt that there was no problem, so Xu Shaoang asked Shopkeeper Li to take stock of all the accounts, utensils, items, and materials of the bookstore...... Prepare for the deed of transfer at the beginning of next month.

After dinner at his grandfather's house, Huai'an took his birthday gift and swaggered home, and remembered a saying on the way: Nephew dog nephew dog, take it away after eating and drinking.

He walked out of the gate of Xu's house with his front feet proud, and Xu Shaoang said behind him: "Dad, aren't you a pit child?" ”

Master Xu glared at his eldest son and said, "Where did I cheat him?" ”

"This bookstore is not open, I already wanted to close it, you give this mess to Huai'an, he is a child who knows what to do, he has saved so many years of New Year's money, and it is not easy to cry when he looks back."

Master Xu twisted his beard and smiled: "What do you want to coax him to do?" I was about to give him a long memory, so that he could understand that business is not so easy to do, and studying hard is the right thing to do. ”

Xu Shaoang: ......

It has to be his cunning father.

……

When Huai'an returned home, his father and mother were sitting and talking in the hall, and a short-haired carpet with blue flowers on a white ground was spread on the ground.

"Coming back?" Shen Yu didn't wait for Huai'an to speak, picked up a cup of tea, and blew away the tea leaves floating on the water surface for a long time.

Huai'an nodded, wanting to sell it.

"How's the talk?" The mother also picked up a cup of tea and opened the lid of the cup slowly.

The couple knows the temperament of Master Xu well, the Xu family has been in business for generations, and the property is tens of millions, but they mind the identity of the businessman the most, and they are not used to seeing children who are not good at studying, and they are full of business experience, and the most important thing in the family is silver, what do you do to earn that thing.

So they guessed that Master Xu would definitely be embarrassed for him, with the attitude of not thinking too much of a big deal to see the excitement, waiting to see what Huai'an had to say when he came back. If he really wants to get rid of the treacherous and cunning old man Xu at a really young age, there are not many things that can hardly stop him in this life.

"Hmm......" Huai'an muttered, "There was a little accident." ”

The husband and wife smiled heartily, typed a draft, and were about to say something to comfort.

But they heard their good son puff up his little chest and say, "I bought my grandfather's bookstore." ”

Shen Yu was burned by the hot tea, Xu Tinglan hurriedly put down the tea cup and handed the handkerchief, the cups and plates clanged chaotically, and the two bigwigs who were rampant in the officialdom of Vanity Fair were a little out of shape.

This baby, a cheating father.

Chapter 19

This baby is a cheating father.

Shen Yu supported his forehead, officials and businessmen were already a little sensitive when they became in-laws, and this kid actually went to his grandfather's house to collect other people's shops.

Huai'an saw that his father's face was wrong, his smile froze on his face, and he looked at his mother again: "I didn't do anything wrong, right?" ”

Xu Tinglan still has deep internal skills, and he can still say as usual: "In the future, you have to ask your father and mother before making a decision." ”

When her mother said this, Huai'an also felt that she was not doing it right, and she should discuss it with her parents first for such a big thing as closing the shop.

"I know it's wrong." He cautiously asked his mother: "Mother, can you still accept this bookstore?" ”

Xu Tinglan couldn't cry or laugh, they wanted to pit the child, but they were cheated instead, can they blame the child? No one told him he couldn't buy a shop.

Although normal children do not think of this.

"What do you want to do when you come back from the bookstore?" Xu Tinglan asked.

Huai'an thought for a while and said, "I carve books and sell them by myself, and there is no middleman to make the difference." ”

Xu Tinglan was speechless. People are not big, but there are a lot of hearts. But he didn't think about the other expenses of running a bookstore? Typically, it is greedy for small and cheap and suffers big losses.

Huai'an entangled again: "Can it be?" ”

Xu Tinglan was full of black lines, and made up his mind to "pay tuition" for his son, and then said: "A man has said what he says, of course, he must do what he says, but next time he is not allowed to make his own decisions." ”

Shen Yu sank his face: "Did you hear your mother's words?" The next is not an example. ”

Huai'an nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice.

"On the day of the deed, my mother will find a suitable person to accompany you." She added: "The rest, wait for the bookstore to collect it." ”

Huai'an jumped up happily, rubbed his furry head on his mother's arm, smiled at his father, and went back to the house to practice calligraphy.

"This kid, why can't the ghost mind be used for reading?" Xu Tinglan sighed helplessly.

Shen Yu smiled and shook his head, the nine sons of the dragon are still different, not to mention mortals.

"Do you really want to help Huai'an go to that bookstore?" Shen Yu asked.

"Accept it, why don't you accept it!" Xu Tinglan's pretty face was full of anger, probably because he was angry with his father and brother, just forget it if he didn't stop it, two big people actually made more and more trouble with their children.

Shen Yu's pupils shrank, afraid that his wife would be mad, so he pursed his lips and didn't dare to answer.

……

In the blink of an eye, at the beginning of April, the green willows are hanging low and the flowers are in full bloom.

Huai'an changed into a thin summer coat, called Zhao Pan, took a steward, a shopkeeper and an accountant assigned to him by his mother, boarded the carriage, and went to the bookstore together.

Li Shancai, the shopkeeper of the bookstore, waited in line with the craftsmen, and it took most of the day for the two parties to hand over.

The official eunuchs do business, mostly in the name of domestic servants, and this bookstore is no exception, when they go to the county government to apply for license documents, Shen Yu and his wife cannot sign on it, but hand it over to reliable family members.

Where does Huai'an know this, the people assigned to him by Heng Zhu Niang are the most appropriate, and after listening to it for a while, he felt bored, so he looked around inside and outside the courtyard.

When all the formalities were completed and it was almost dusk, Huai An asked Changxing to find a small restaurant on the street, ordered a table of noodles, and sat in the courtyard with everyone to have a meal together. He wanted to say two words about painting a big pie...... Phew, it should be inspiring, and I feel that I shouldn't say too much at my age, just greet everyone to eat and drink well, don't be polite.

The rest of the words were said by the new shopkeeper Xu Sheng on his behalf.

The craftsmen are full of curiosity about the new little proprietor and opened the shop at the age of six. But when they saw that Huai'an was still behaving like a child, there was only one thought left in their minds - it was good to be rich.

Huai'an noticed that there was one person missing from the table, and thinking of Li Shancai's depressed appearance all day, he attached to Xu Sheng's ear and said, "Shopkeeper Li went to the backyard, you go and take a look." ”

"Yes." Xu Sheng didn't say a word, and he was about to get up.

"Wait," Huai'an stopped Xu Sheng and asked, "Has my mother explained to the shopkeeper Li to stay?" ”

Xu Sheng nodded and said: "The young grandmother has explained, if he can still complete the handover in a down-to-earth manner, I will leave him and let him be the second shopkeeper, responsible for delivering goods to various bookstores." ”

I admired in peace of mind, I have to be a mother!
