Chapter 44 The Dowry Shop

The Qin family looked at the two daughters lovingly and said, "Where are these two girls who have Sister Xue at all steady?" At home, it's actually very skinny, and when you go out, you wilt and don't even like to say anything. ”

An Shi said: "Where, I see that the two children are very good, and I will take them to the house often to sit when I am free in the future." ”

Qin: "That's a good feeling." ”

After a few people talked for a while, the carriage of the Hou Mansion came over, and the Qin family lived in a small house not far from the back street of Bofu, and the road was not far away, just walk back, and after a few people said goodbye, An and Jin Nanxue got into the carriage.

At this moment, there were only two mother and daughter in the carriage, Jin Nanxue looked at An's frowning brows and persuaded softly: "Mother don't be angry, in fact, I think the same as the third aunt, I can't wait to leave quickly, presumably my mother doesn't want to stay there longer." ”

said so, but it was impossible for An Shi not to feel uncomfortable when such a thing happened, she looked at her daughter worriedly and said: "Mother is worried that if today's events make them angry, and there are really any gossips that are not favorable to you, then won't your life in the Hou Mansion be even more difficult in the future?" ”

Jin Nanxue said indifferently: "Although my mother relaxes, as I said just now, they don't dare to spread any gossip for the sake of their cousin's reputation." ”

I heard that the backyard of King Chen's mansion is also not quiet, presumably Jin Nanyue's life is not as beautiful as it seems, and today King Chen spoke lightly in front of her, and Jin Nanyue's face will not be even more glorious when it is spread out.

An Shi was still uncomfortable, remembering that her daughter had been quite unsatisfactory in the past few years, she regretted that she did not protect her daughter in the first place.

"Alas, if they hadn't deliberately harmed you at the beginning, you wouldn't have ruined your reputation and married into the deep mansion compound of the Hou Mansion, and you would not be able to hold your head up for the rest of your life."

After the incident, Xie Changqing and An learned the truth about falling into the water from their daughter, and they were so angry that they ran to Bofu to theorize, but they were splashed with sewage by the people of Bofu, saying that their husband and wife had ill intentions and connived at their daughter to use subterfuge to seduce their future brother-in-law in vain to climb the high branches, which is called shameless, and now Bofu is willing to let her marry into the Hou Mansion for her reputation regardless of her previous suspicions, they should be grateful to Dai Decai, if they don't know how to publicize this matter, see what face they have in front of people?

For the sake of their daughter's reputation, the husband and wife could only swallow this breath and acquiesce in the arrangement of the Bofu, and let their daughter marry into the Hou Mansion instead of Jin Nanyue.

Later, when they learned that Jin Nanyue was given to marry but was a side concubine, An and Jin Changqing felt a little happier in their hearts, and they didn't know if Bofu or even Jin Nanyue had ever regretted it, and the Hou Mansion was also a serious Mrs. Hou after marrying in the past, and the future housewife, and the housewife of Chenwangfu could only be the new princess designated by the Queen Mother.

It is probably because of this that these people in Bofu are always dissatisfied, so as soon as they see Jin Changqing's family, they have to preach in a weird way.

The past was unbearable, An Shi closed his eyes and shook his head gently, as if he wanted to throw away all the humiliations in his memory, and whispered indignantly for a while: "It's all to blame for King Chen, why do you have nothing to say so much to you?" It's really not a bit of a heavenly noble. ”

Jin Nanxue comforted: "It's just a few words and ignore him, although my mother relaxes, it will be fine." ”

After speaking, Jin Nanxue stretched out her hand and lifted the curtain to look out a few times, then turned around and said happily to An's: "Since it's out, why don't we go shopping, I haven't been out shopping for a long time, I invited my mother to have a big meal outside, and then I went to see our two shops, I haven't been there for so long, and I don't know how the shop is doing." ”

An Shi glanced at his daughter with disgust: "You, you can still laugh, and you still have the heart to go to eat and shop, forget it, you ask the coachman to send me back first, in case your father and Yun Jue Yunge go home early and can't see us, we think it's not good if something happens, if you want to go out to relax, call agarwood to accompany you." ”

Jin Nanxue was unwilling, she should have been grinding An to accompany her to eat out, but An couldn't help her daughter and had to agree. The two found a restaurant and asked for a private room, and had a full meal before taking the car back to Jin's house.

Time is precious, when he arrived at the Jin family, he put down An's, and then took agarwood and Shang Lu and set off, and the carriage went straight to his own shop on Liyuan Street.

"It's time to get there, ma'am, I'll put a hood on you."

After the carriage stopped, Agarwood took out the hat placed in the car and wanted to bring it to Jin Nanxue, Jin Nanxue raised her hand to stop it, how could she look carefully when she put on the hat?

He lifted the curtain and looked around, then looked up at the small faΓ§ade in front of him.

This is a grocery store, it is noon at the door of the store, from the carriage you can see a young man lazily sitting behind the counter with his arms crossed, bored to pick up melon seeds on the counter one by one and send them to his mouth, looking at the look on his face seems to be worried that the business in the store is not good.

"Is this it?"

Jin Nanxue couldn't help asking, and Agarwood nodded and said: "It's not wrong, before Mrs. got married, the slave maid followed Mrs. to come here to see, Uncle An, the shopkeeper who managed the shop for Mrs., was brought by Mrs. when she was in her mother's house, and she has been in charge of the shop for Mrs. for many years. ”

Jin Nanxue sighed a little dejectedly, these two shops are her hope to make money in the future, and now it seems that the foundation is indeed a little thinner.

After watching silently for a while, Jin Nanxue turned her head to look at the bustling streets on both sides and couldn't help but wonder a little, the geographical location is good, and then look at his own shop, the three-room wide faΓ§ade is not big or small, although it is not on the main street, but there are also shops on both sides of this street, there are more pedestrians on the street at noon, and then look at a few shops of similar size next to it, there are three or two guests walking in and out from time to time in front of the door, why does his own shop seem to be in a recession?

After watching for a while, they simply got out of the carriage and walked straight in.

The area of the shop is not large, the layout is decent, there are half-height wooden counters on three sides, and the left row is all kinds of woven items, from the counter to the wall, bamboo baskets, sieves, dustpans, baskets and so on are stacked together, and some obviously have a layer of dust on them, obviously they have not been sold for a long time.

On the right-hand side is a snack area for all kinds of dry goods, walnuts, soybeans and lentils, sun-dried mushrooms, fried melon seeds and other commodities are varied, packed in a basket or sack; The front of the counter is a little narrower, and it sells needles, threads, pots and pans, and other things.

The whole shop gives people a gray feeling, including the shopkeeper who has been sitting there lazily, and the clothes he wears are all gray colors.
