Chapter 293

Zhuang Shu shakes her head helplessly. "It's true that there are many people who want to go to their own rooms and take advantage of the public. What's the matter with the outside world? I'll have internal friction at home first. Can I not speed up the decline? If it wasn't for my great uncle and his wife, they would have been able to manage to split up their families, which barely supported the overall situation. Now it's more difficult. "

Just as the servant girl brought the tea, Zhuang Shu poured a cup of tea for leisurely. "How about my sister tasting this tea?"

Leisurely picked up the tea cup, first smelled it, praised the "delicious tea." Then he took a sip and said with a smile, "the tea is rich and mellow. It's really good."

Zhuang Shu also drank a mouthful to moisten her throat, and then just said, "my great cousin's daughter gave birth to three, and two sons, plus four or five concubines, and a few underage concubines when they separated. All in all, wedding money alone is not a small sum. My eldest cousin simply promised several concubines to the rich merchant's family and got a lot of betrothal gifts before she got married. "

Leisurely some speechless "this, this and sell a daughter what difference?"

Zhuang Shu said, "my cousin is already virtuous. Although most of the people I find for the common girls are businessmen, they are also decent people with good family style. Although I deduct some betrothal gifts, the dowry I give them is not simple. The cousin married to the Cao family was originally given to the eldest son who wanted to inherit the family property. Who would have expected that my cousin would not be lucky. Shortly after my son's first birthday, my cousin met the thief on the way out to buy goods, and unfortunately lost his life. At the funeral of my cousin's husband, my son had the misfortune to catch the cold and went to the hospital. If it wasn't for her, she would have followed her daughter. When I was in my boudoir, I had a good chat with her, so I walked around a little on weekdays. "

Leisurely asked strangely, "then how can this matter be related to granny Cao again?"

Zhuang Shu sighed, "it's not that all the Chuang Tzu shops in my family came to close the account a year ago. They all entered more than 6000 taels of silver. Although it's not much, I think it's useless to put it away. I'm going to do business with it. My cousin happened to have a silk shop in her hand, and the business was pretty good. So I learned some experience from her. She was also planning to open a new shop, so she invited me to take a share, and I should take it. Who knows this matter is known by Cao Er granny, she also wants to follow to become a shareholder. After my cousin was gone, my cousin took her daughter to Jianchu. Now the second master of the Cao family is responsible for the internal and external affairs of the Cao family. I think I can't make it difficult for my cousin to do it at home, so I should do it. "

Hearing this, she said with a leisurely smile, "could it be that after the prince left, the second grandmother Cao withdrew her shares when she saw that the reform had been idle at home."

Zhuang Shu clapped her hands and said, "my sister is really smart. I'll get a guess."

Leisurely smile with a sigh, "which is my wisdom? It has always been the case with people in the world. There are more people who follow the trend and less people who send charcoal in the snow. "

Zhuang Shu nodded and said, "isn't that the reason? The shop opened without her money. The business is stable, but it doesn't earn much. I've calculated that the most I can get in a year is two thousand taels of silver. "

Leisurely said with a smile, "that's quite a lot. It's just a shop. You two make a profit of 4000 taels of silver a year. It's not so simple."

Zhuang Shu said with a smile, "there's no way to compare with my sister's shop, but I'm timid, and I only dare to do these safe things. Like these silk fabrics, I see them every day. I know something about them. I don't dare to do the business of dressing up. "

Leisurely don't understand of smile way "you this is how?"? You're not always that kind of person. You don't care much about it. Have you met any difficulties? "

After hearing this, Zhuang Shu looked at leisurely and said, "my sister is not an outsider, so I'll just say it. My sister knows my temperament. She really doesn't like to worry like that. Don't I feel sad to see my husband go to court for an hour or two every day? It's very hard for Xianggong to work every day. He has to run back and forth every day. He suffers from the wind and rain. I want to make more money as soon as possible from the industry of Gongzhong, so that I can buy a house on the edge of the Forbidden City. Our family will move there, and it will be cheaper for Xianggong to go to court. Even if the children are older, they will not be so crowded in the future. " After a pause, she went on to say, "my sister knows that my dowry is still thick. There are two houses in my dowry, but my husband's temperament will not live in my dowry house. The account in Xianggong's heart is clear again. I want to make up some silver from the dowry to Gongzhong. He can see it at a glance. It's only a matter of years before we can save enough money to buy a house. "

Leisurely clapped her hand, "it's a blessing for us Lin family to marry you. I know your mind is good, but everything should be slow, don't worry too much. A few years ago, our family was still living in the farmyard of Linjia village. Who could have thought of today's fortune? But what you said is reasonable. It will be more convenient to move to the inner city. Another day I'll ask someone to see if there are any suitable ones near our house. If there are, you can just buy them near our house. Then we'll live together and it's convenient to walk around. "

Zhuang Shu quickly said with a smile, "that's a good feeling. I had planned to do the same. It's just

Leisurely smile "just what? But how about money? "

Zhuang Shu nodded shyly, "yes, there are less than 1000 Liang silver left in Gongzhong's book now, and the rest are all invested in the silk shop by me."

Leisurely and firmly said, "it's OK. I'll buy it for you first if I have the right one. Come back to me when you have plenty in your hands in the future. "

Zhuang Shu shook her head. "It's not necessary. I still have some silver in my dowry. It should be enough to buy a house with three or four entries. How can I use my sister's silver? If my brother-in-law knows, I'm afraid he won't like it. "

Leisurely said with a smile, "your brother-in-law won't be so stingy. He never interferes with his private dowry. Besides, I lent it to you. I don't have to pay it back. You can count the cash in your dowry. This house is not too expensive. Three into the house is estimated to be more than 10000 Liang, but you buy that house will not clean up? No new furniture? Which one is not allowed to spend money on bedding, furnishings, curtains, doors and windows? Maybe the money to repair the yard will be more expensive than the money to buy a house. You don't use mine. Whose do you use? It's settled. I'll bring you the money later. "

What's going on? I'm talking about the shop. How can I get involved in the banknote? Zhuang Shu can't react.
