Mu Rousang smiled and did not speak, she turned and went to the kitchen to arrange dinner, it was just a normal family dish, because they did not have a good lunch, in the evening, they would be at the tornado, and after fiercely eating a few big bowls, everyone drank a cup of tea and went to bed.
Mu Jinzhi found some time to rest and went over to the west wing where Mu Rousang was. Seeing that she was packing up the things that were embroidered during the day, he smiled: "Don't be anxious, just focus on embroidering slowly.
wanted to cover his face, she saw the letter in his hand with her sharp eyes, and said: I had forgotten about this favor. Brother, is there anything urgent on your letter?
A year ago, Liu Guixiang finally managed to get someone to deliver her share of the salary, and she never heard her talk about anything important in her family. She could not help but be suspicious of her.
"Sigh, how could there be any other important matters? It's all because of this selection that we were able to cause such a ruckus." As he spoke, he took the letter to the Eight Immortals Table and sat down.
Mu Rousang called for Chun Yi and the others to continue packing up the needle and thread, and walked over to the Eight Immortals Table to brew a cup of hot tea for Mu Jinzhi, and said: "Has Second Sister not been set up for this marriage yet?"
Mu Jinzhi shook his head and said: "You don't have to worry about this matter. No matter what your godfather says, he is still the leader of the Xiangyang Academy, choosing a proud disciple to be his son-in-law is an easy thing to do. He sent a letter saying that the marriage had already been set, and once the summer is over, they will get married.
He continued, "It's a good thing that big sister and Second Sister now have shops and fields on their hands, they're not afraid that the male side will bully them, and after I become an official, no one will dare to bully them, because back then, you and I were young and uncle couldn't find us, so we have to look after each other like godfathers. The two big sisters will also need to rely on me in the future."
Liu Dahu was a noble scholar, he had always had a clear mind, and the money in his family was taken care of by Lady Liu alone. Thanks to Mu Rousang's help later on, the two Liu sisters were able to get a lot of money.
She then asked, "What big brother said makes sense. I wonder who the other party is?"
Mu Jinzhi smiled and replied: "This time, it's a young son from the Zhi Zhou family, and he's much stronger than Brother An Ping."
Mu Rousang picked up the letter and read through it quickly, then said: "Dad has never looked at people's families, I only choose those who can be used, those who can be trusted, I think the people this time are also not bad."
There might be a possibility that there would be three wives and four concubines in the future, but compared to some heartless men, they should be able to entrust their lives to them.
"That's right. Father said in his letter that Second Brother-in-law's character will be pretty good in the future. Mother must be afraid that Second Brother-in-law will have no one to look after him in the capital."
"Brother is right, but in that case, I'm afraid we won't be able to get An Zun's Make up when she marries." Mu Rousang was a little worried. The two sisters had different Make up s, he was afraid that Liu Guizhi would feel uncomfortable if she found out about it in the future.
Mu Jinzhi laughed: "This is not difficult, if you were to send a letter to Big Sis and ask her opinion, we would never be able to go beyond her logic."
Mu Rousang smiled and said: "It's my fault, we compared to Big Sis, I think that her Make up s are not that bad, if that's not possible, we can just quietly make up for it."
You don't have to worry, your godfather said in the letter that although big sister's family is a little short on money, but the shop given to her by her godmother is getting better and better. I believe that brother Anping won't lose his own sister-in-law, not to mention that he's the direct son of Zhizhou.
Fortunately, I bought a few boxes of pearls last year, so I just happened to pick some out to give her some noodles. After all, her future husband is from an official family, so some ordinary jewelry might not even be worth mentioning. "Su Yun said in a low voice.
Mu Jinzhi, however, did not understand much about this, and only said: "You should not make any mistakes while comparing this with our Big Cousin. Once this is done, you can go back to Shu City.
Mu Rousang also felt that the jewelry forged by the Silver Restaurant in the county city was not exquisite enough, and said: "Then I will forge jewelry for Second Sister after I return to Shu City, then you can come with me."
Mu Jinzhi nodded and said: "Since Second Sister is going to be married, as your godfather's son, I will definitely go and support them. Oh, and I have already told big brother Yang about this, when he says that we will go together."
"In time? Wasn't he going to study? It's been going on for days now. " Mu Rousang was unavoidably anxious.
Mu Jinzhi said: "When it comes to career essays, you don't understand it anymore. Learning is about increasing one's knowledge, where can one not learn, do you really have to go to the ends of the world?"
Mu Rousang touched the back of her head. Her brother didn't seem to be wrong!
He then continued, "Brother Yang has his own arrangements for the traveling. Coincidentally, we siblings haven't spoken for a long time, so please get someone to bring the account book from the family. Look at the amount of silver on the account, it's time to prepare your dowry."
Mu Rousang had money of her own, she wanted to leave more for Mu Jinzhi and said: "Brother, don't worry, the family's money is for you. I have two stores and a farm, and also a Cai Yi Pavilion that I share with Aunt and Second Sister.
"You are my sister, not some stranger. If I marry her in the future, it doesn't matter if she thinks I'm poor or not. If she doesn't mind that I'm poor, then I'll give you the silver for your dowry."
Mu Rousang secretly curled her lips and said: "Chun Yan, go and get the Accounts s from the house. All these years, the family business of pickling vegetables and fruits was very big, and the farm's income had also increased, but only earned a little less than the previous two businesses. This is because of the rice shop's good business, fair prices, and the fact that it has always been quite popular."
"All these years, it was all thanks to my sister taking care of the family's affairs."
"Young master, young lady, the Accounts is here."
Although Mu Jinzhi was busy with his studies, and even though he intentionally caused Mu Rousang to do so, he was not a student that didn't want to live in the mortal world. The farmlands and rice shop under his name were all managed by him, and even though it was recorded into his account, it was still managed by Mu Rousang.
"Big brother, these past few years, approximately thirty thousand silver coins per year has been added to your account. Last year, the pickle business expanded, and now you have gained another eight thousand silver coins per year, and now, with the addition of another forty thousand silver coins, your usual expenses are deducted and added to your account. Amongst these, six thousand five hundred and eighty-two hundred and eighty-four thousand silver coins are for your current year's expenses and your relationships."
Mu Jinzhi picked up a month's worth of accounts in front of her and started flipping through it. This book was from last year, and all sorts of monthly expenses were written on it.
"In the past, there were only two people in our family, and the annual expenses were only a few dozen liang. Now, we have earned a lot and spent a lot more."
Mu Rousang said indifferently: "The silver was originally used to earn money, but when you earn more and spend more, that means our life is on fire."
Mu Jinzhi scolded him with a smile: "You, are still as solid as you were when you were young, but these words do sound a little crooked."
Mu Rousang rolled her eyes helplessly, didn't she bring the silver with him? She didn't bring it with him even if she died.
He did not notice the helplessness in Family sister's eyes, and the more he flipped the book, the happier he became, unable to close his mouth, and said: "Aiyo, I really don't know until I look at the book, our family also has so much silver."
"Big brother, you will enter the Office of the Crown Prince next year. According to Zixuan, the Office of the Crown Prince is mainly learning the Six Arts of the Gentlemen, and the requirements for the eight pieces of paper are not strict. Shouldn't you be managing the debts of your family now?"
To say that Mu Rousang did not have any selfish thoughts was fake. Mu Jinzhi was her own brother, she did not care about who she doted on, but how could she love that future sister-in-law who she did not know where she was? She did not want the assets of the Mu Family to fall into the hands of an outsider.
After Mu Jinzhi heard this, he thought that he was just trying to seduce him, and said: "Big brother was careless, you are engaged now, so it is not suitable for you to appear in public, when I call for someone to bring the Accounts to my study, it will be good for us to borrow them, and search through them thoroughly, and have a plan."
Mu Rousang did not explain any further, and said: "Big brother, you are supposed to take care of the businesses in the house, you have stolen so much time, it is about time to take care of the businesses in the house."
I was originally worried about you, afraid that after you married into my family, you wouldn't be able to protect your own dowry, so I didn't take over it for a long time. Right now, I see that you're very well taken care of, but since you've already decided to take over the property, let's not talk about this first.
Mu Rousang laughed: "Brother, let me first talk about the ones on my hands, I now have five white pearls, adding on to that, there are one hundred each as big as a small finger. Because of the purchase of the houses in the small mountain village, I originally arranged for people to buy a large amount of pine and wood, only, I have quietly mixed in more than four hundred years worth of Echinacea lanceolata Maxim trees."
Mu Jinzhi was no longer that ignorant child from back then. He naturally knew that Echinacea lanceolata Maxim s that were over a hundred years old had a wood element energy pill for one gold coin. That was to say that Echinacea lanceolata Maxim s that were over a hundred years old were extremely difficult to find.
"I was the one who sent out to look for wood and found one, so we bought it together. The owner of the forest originally came to the ancestral land to sell it, but who would have thought that because of this Echinacea lanceolata Maxim, he would earn so much money. Of course, I also bought it at a low price."
Mu Jinzhi could only smile at her wasteful actions, and said: "It's good that you like it, but I'm afraid that there are more than four hundred of them. It's good that you only use a hundred or so pieces of top-grade furniture."
Mu Rousang laughed: "I can't write a single word in this family, not to mention you, even the yang-ge and Feng Chai, I will prepare them all."
