Chapter 168 Shopping can be decompressed
"Look at what you always said. In the past, Ru'er helped me take care of the family property, and I still had time to go out. Now it's just me. The master is an official. He can't interfere with business affairs. I'm busy. Where is the time?"
Zi Han comforted her, "Mother, you still have a son, and the son will help you take care of it."
This time everyone found that Zihan was really getting better gradually, and they all looked at Qiao Mai when they were happy.
"The medicine you gave really works!"
"I'm not a doctor. Someone told me that this medicine works for me. I'll let him try it. If it works, I'll ask that person to buy another bottle after I finish eating it."
"I will send 20% of the income of our Wang family property to you every year." Wang Zongsheng said this sincerely.
"No need, I don't want anything from you, and I don't need money to spend."
"It is precisely because of this that we treat you as a relative of my Wang family. You must accept it. You will be 20% in the palace and 30% in the palace."
"You don't give it to the master anymore?"
Speaking of this, the faces of the Wang family sank, "I won't give it to them! I won't give it to them even if I get water, it's too bullying."
The corners of Qiao Mai's mouth twitched, "Okay, then I'll keep it. When shall we go home?"
"The day after tomorrow. You have been out for a while. There are a lot of things waiting for you at home. Go back early and feel at ease. The children have also missed a lot of homework. Go back and make up for it."
"Okay then, let's clean up tomorrow."
As soon as they said they wanted to go back, the whole family, except Mrs. Wang, felt like returning home. They wished they could go back home and rest comfortably for two days.
Don't think Bichunyuan belongs to the old lady, she didn't treat it as her home at all.
To put it bluntly, she didn't even consider the Wang family in Acropolis as her own home, but she already regarded Jixiangyuan as her own.
She felt that only at Qiao's house could she eat well, sleep soundly, and be motivated in everything she did.
The next day, Qiao Mai asked Yuehong and Yuexia to clean up. She went to the south of the city and saw another group of victims coming, but not many.
There was no time to distribute food, so the family gave twenty-five taels of silver to let them find a way to go to the city to buy food. The disaster victims in the north of the city also arranged in the same way. They probably came here because they heard that there were noble people helping them. .
She went for the two rescues in the name of the old lady.
So, the victims only know Yipin Gaoming Old Madam Pang, but they don’t know that she is Qiao Mai.
Afterwards, she went to various famous shops in the capital to buy food, drink, clothes, use, and play. If she had money in her pocket, she would buy, buy, and spend it.
Sure enough, shopping can relieve stress. No wonder women also shop when they are happy, and shop when they are sad. It is really enjoyable!
To be honest, she has space and a shopping platform, and she really doesn't like these things in ancient times.
But I came to the capital, so I have to go back and bring some gifts for everyone.
Hired two carriages before pulling them back home. The old lady was dumbfounded, she didn't care about anything if she had money.
There were five cars when they came, and eight cars when they went back, because the Wang family also received a lot of gifts, and they were going to take them back.
This time Wang Zongsheng went back with him, and there were many more guards on the way.
On the morning of leaving, Jiaru and the little prince came to see them off, Ru'er was reluctant to hug this one, and hugged that other.
Crying sobbingly, was disgusted by Qiao Maihao.
"Really, don't cry. In the future, if you are in the capital, I will have the opportunity to come here a few more times. If you are not here, where should I go? Besides, we are in the Acropolis, so you can go back when you have the opportunity, so you come How interesting am I?"
"That's different."
"What's the difference? You're in Acropolis and I'm in Tianshui. If you don't come to my house for half a year, aren't we just as good? I don't know where Shengsheng is going. Okay, stop crying, let's go." , Write a letter when you think about it, let’s go.”
Qiao Mai took the lead and boarded the car, and the children also bid farewell to Jiaru when they came.
"Auntie, don't cry. My mother is very capable. When the time comes, write a letter about what you want to eat, and let my mother get it for you."
"So good!"
One by one, they bid farewell to her and got into the carriage. Seeing the carriage go so far, Jiaru was reluctant to turn around and go back.
"Ru'er, shall we go home?"
Jiaru pouted and stared at him, "Who told you to fall in love with me? If you don't fall in love with me, I'm still happy in the Acropolis, hmph!"
Then got into the carriage angrily, but the little prince likes her like this, it feels so cute.
also got into the carriage and coaxed them all the way before they got together.
The Wang family and their party left the capital on September 21st and arrived home on October 3rd.
Wang Zongsheng and his wife felt very helpless. When they passed by the house, their parents didn't miss it for a moment, so they let the coachman drive the carriage and followed Qiao Mai without looking back.
Why do you feel like you picked it up, and Mrs. Qiao is their own?
As soon as they got home, everyone felt comfortable, lying on the kang one by one, doing nothing but sleeping.
After Qiao Mai made the arrangements, he settled all the accounts for the carriage hire, walked around the house, and started to make arrangements.
It’s October, and it’s time for the autumn harvest. It’s time for our strawberries to be plowed and raised.
Before winter comes, you need to buy a lot of firewood and charcoal. The more you stock up, the better. She has to arrange these things.
I have been away for more than a month, and the store must be empty and need to be replenished.
Going over to see, it’s not like that, except for some products that can be made by yourself, such as those fruits and vegetables sold, they are all sold out.
She hurriedly sent someone to carry fruit to the side room in her yard, one basket after another, under the euphemistic name, brought back from the outside, but she picked it from the space in advance and put it in the side room.
As soon as she came back, everyone immediately had a backbone.
After the shopkeeper Niu arranged all the goods into the register, he reported to Qiao Mai the situation at home this month.
"Master, everything at home has been fine this month, except for the Yuan family and the Qiao family who came to make a fuss once, and they haven't been here again."
"What are they doing?"
"Knowing that you asked your family to go out with your mouth, you wanted to sneak in. I had them beat them out. They wanted to blackmail us and report to the officials. After the officials came, they left after knowing the situation. The subordinates made the decisions. If one official sends one person ten taels of silver, the matter will be settled."
"Well, I will fight again in the future. Remember, these two families also have the Tian family from Taohua Village. No matter who comes, if they make trouble, they will fight. I will take care of those who break arms and legs."
"Yes, master!"
"Hurry up and put up a sign at the door of the shop, collect firewood and charcoal, remember to ask for good charcoal."
"Yes, master!"
"Why hasn't anyone asked about those shops in the south of our house?"
Shopkeeper Niu shook his head, "They all think it's expensive."
"Oh, then I won't rent it out, and whoever comes will say it's rented out."
"Okay, master."
"Is my uncle coming back at the end of September?"
"I came back and stayed at home for two days. I helped the family with a lot of work every day. All the servants in the family said that my uncle is the best."
"Let's walk slowly on the road, otherwise we can still see him, don't worry, anyway, he has to come back at the end of this month."
Qiao Mai got up and left the shop, went to look at the poultry house, and found nothing unusual, so he went back to rest.
The next day, everyone returned to their usual practice life.
Qiao Mai divided the gifts he brought back into several parts, and sent people to Lu's, Qian's, and Qin's houses.
At the same time, he also prepared two small gifts and sent them to Liu Ye and Liu Hai for them to take home.
In Tianshui Town, not only the Qiao family is busy, but all the families are busy. During the golden autumn season, some people have followed the example of the Qiao family and started stockpiling goods.
It’s like making pancakes, it’s easy to see at first glance, every family has harvested persimmons and is making pancakes.
This year, Qiao’s family didn’t do this. They just harvested a lot of peanuts, corn, chestnuts, and sweet potatoes, all of which were stored in the empty yard of Qiao’s house.
I don’t know why, it’s only mid-October, and people have just collected the crops in the field.
There was a frost early in the morning, and the temperature dropped immediately, which was unbearable for the frozen people.
