Chapter 291

At night, the candle is bright.

Song Xintong came into the study with the bone soup which was already warm and cool. "I specially made the soup for you. It's oily and fishy. You can drink it quickly."

No way, she can't afford to buy bird's nest old ginseng, can only put more bone soup to boil, so that everyone can drink a bowl, also cheap.

"There's more in the room. I'll scoop a bowl for you after drinking it." Song Xintong looked at Lu Yunkai has finished the soup, "drink a little more tonic body."

"I can't drink it." Lu Yunkai put the bowl on the table. "I had dinner at Jiang's home in the evening, and now I still have some support."

"You didn't go home for lunch in the past. Why don't you come back for dinner now? What are you up to? " Song Xintong asked discontentedly.

"Today is because the second elder brother of the Jiang family came back from the sea, so he left me to drink." Lu Yunkai handed two silver tickets to song Xintong: "this is the second brother of the Jiang family. After selling the tartary buckwheat tea, he changed it into 1800 Liang silver tickets. You take them."

"Back so soon?" Song Xintong remembers that he went to sea in April. It's been almost four months. It seems that he hasn't gone far.

Lu Yunkai said: "the Jiang family went to sea according to the original shipping route. They only went to a few nearby countries, so they came back quickly."

Song Xintong sat on one side of the chair, "does the Jiang family still have its own route? Our country supports them to go to sea? "

"The benefits of going to sea are great, and taxes are heavy. Naturally, the state is willing to go to sea."

Unexpectedly, the great Zhou Dynasty was still so open. Song Xintong said, "although the interests are great, what should we do in case of pirates?"

Lu Yunkai said: "I don't know. Listening to the second elder brother of the Jiang family, he said that the two voyages went smoothly. He told me what he had seen and heard along the way, which made me yearn."

"You yearn for it, but don't go out to sea with our wives behind your back." Song Xintong vigilantly said.

Lu Yunkai said with a dumb smile, "no way."

"It's better not." Song Xintong dundundun, and vigilant asked: "Jiang's second brother this just brought some rare things back?"

"See a lot of glass, very beautiful, there are some ornaments and food." Lu Yun said, "Jiang Mingzhao took some food and asked me to bring it back. It smells bad. I don't know how to eat it."

"Where is it? Why didn't I see it in the kitchen?" Song Xintong is curious about what it is and whether it is seafood?

"I left it out in the yard." Lu Yunkai quickly got up and went to the yard and brought a basket in. "He said that he could cook and eat, but it was too strange to look at it."

Song Xintong looked into the basket, "it's kelp."

"Yes, it's called kelp." Lu Yun said.

"It can be used for stew. If you eat at home tomorrow, I'll make it for you." Song Xintong hasn't eaten kelp for a long time, and he hasn't seen it in Lingnan. It's estimated that some of them will be shipped back for sale, but because the price is too expensive, no one in Qingjiang county knows.

Lu Yunkai said: "I won't go out tomorrow. The elder brother of the Jiang family is going to the capital tomorrow. Today he sent me a lot of books. He has used the scientific examination books. I can read them for a long time."

"It's all about learning these days?" Song Xintong remembers that the elder brother of the Jiang family took an official career, while the second and third members of the Jiang family went into business.

"Well, I've benefited a lot." Lu Yun said.

"Before, Mr. Jiang asked you to study in the Academy? Do you want to... "Song Xintong knew that if he had been teaching them in Taohua village, his knowledge would not be as good as those taught by famous teachers.

"No, even if I don't go to the Academy, I can still pass the examination." Lu Yunkai said confidently.

Song Xintong knew that he had the strength. At the beginning, the magistrate praised him, and what he had decided could not be changed for a while. He would wait until next year.

In fact, song Xintong wanted Lu Yun to come to the Academy in Lingnan city to study. After all, it was very hard for him to study with them in the evening. Moreover, when he had children, it would be very noisy at home, and he couldn't study at ease.

"If only you knew."

"There are several." Lu Yunkai knows what song Xintong thinks, but he doesn't want to leave his wife at this time. "Did he disturb you today?"

"No Said the child, song Xintong immediately softened up, touched the bulge of the stomach, "today is moved several times, now estimated to be asleep."

Lu Yunkai touched her stomach, "it's hard for her."

"He's very good. He doesn't work hard." Song Xintong pause, some embarrassed said: "I think it should be a girl, it is too quiet, too obedient."

Lu Yunkai didn't care whether it was a man or a woman. "Girls are better, like you."

Song Xintong picks eyebrows: "where is it good to be so fierce like me?"

"Not fierce." Lu Yun said, "very good."

"That's what you think." Song Xintong suddenly thought of the shops she had visited in the daytime. She quickly took out the pieces of paper. After seeing the shop, she added her own observation at the back, "you see, I want to choose the teahouse."

Lu Yunkai looked at it carefully. "By contrast, it's not as good as the main street. It's just a little cheaper."

Song Xintong said, "but he's in a hurry. I'm thinking that if we can buy it, then we don't have to rent it. We should give it to our children to earn a family fortune."

"Let them make their own money."

"I've seen other shops. The owners of other shops may not sell them. This is the only one. If they are worried about money, they will definitely consider selling." Song Xintong pauses, "and what I like most about it is that it faces the street on both sides. At that time, it will make doors and windows on both sides, so that we can sell our bittern. So you don't have to be in the open air like a restaurant on the dock. "

Lu Yunkai understood her meaning, "can't you change anything else?"

"It's not impossible, but it takes a lot of effort. It costs too much money." Song Xintong pointed to the teahouse, "still need to change the stairs, the amount of work is not big."

"After all, you just like this place. No matter how much trouble you have, you are willing to change it." Lu Yun said.

"He who knows me is my friend." Song Xintong said with a smile: "tomorrow we will go to find Mr. Jiang to fix the shop. While we are still in Lingnan City, we will decorate the shop properly. Then we will find a good day to open it."

"Who will you send to be the shopkeeper then?" Lu Yunkai reminded, "you don't have anyone in your hands now."

Song Xintong also thought, "Xie Yi, they are still young and can't take care of things. I think we should take advantage of this time to recruit one."

"No, I don't know the character of any of them. Mr. Xiang, can you ask Mr. Jiang to help us find another one?"

"Will it be too much trouble for him?" Song Xintong frowned, "why don't you call manager Niu? On the dock, let Xie Yi take up the post at the same time, and cultivate them for a period of time first? "

"Why do you believe and thank them so much?" Lu Yunkai asked.

Song Xintong Leng for a while, Na Na said: "at least now is the letter."

"Oh, I'll talk about it later. I'll pay them money to do things for me. If they don't want to do it, they just leave. It's similar to inviting a shopkeeper outside. Moreover, they will turn to me from the bottom of their heart."

Song Xintong sighed, "I can't guarantee that they will be able to treat like this in the future, but at least at that time, I have paid off all the human feelings I owe for so many years."

Had it not been for mother-in-law Qiu and her family, my father would have starved to death.

Later, thanks to them, otherwise my father could not be buried, and most of their brothers and sisters could not live.

This kindness, at least now, is not over.
