"Then what do you want me to do?" Xie Qi shook his hand and shouted, "This can't work either. They are in a better situation than us. One is an official and the other is rich. If I don't get close to them, do I still want to treat them as enemies?"

When she was making trouble to find Wang in the house last time, she had already learned about her father's background from her mother.

She can't accept it. Obviously, the uncle in the house is her father, why did he become the eldest son of the second wife? The father is a stepson, that is, as his mother said, he will not be divided into any family property in the future, but he will bear the name of Xie's eldest son in vain. The second wife has money in hand, and the third wife has become an official's family. Xie Wei and Xie Wan are better than her, which makes her feel flat and short in front of them.

Xie Wei is just that. At least she has a capable father. Xie Wan, an orphan girl without a father and no mother, why is she better than her?

These days, as soon as she sees her, she feels uncomfortable. She didn't really want to flatt with them, she just said angry words in anger. If you want her to flattize Xie Wan, it's better to let her die!

As soon as Ruan Shi heard her words, she was immediately discouraged.

In terms, Xie Qigong is good to Xie Hong. Except for the separation of families, the supply in the long room has never been short of them. Unfortunately, Xie Hong can't study. Although he has a little brain, he has no money to operate.

Now I see that my eldest son Xie Hua is fifteen years old, and I have to talk about marriage in a year or two, followed by Xie Tong and Xie Qi - although marriage and so on will be paid by the public, as a parent, you can't get a penniless, can you? Especially Xie Qi, the dowry of his daughter's family is the most important. The public middle school spends only 2,000 taels of silver. If he marries ordinary people, it will fall down, but Xie Qi is used to the days of fine clothes and food, will he go to the small family to suffer?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help sighing.

Xie Qi is still wiping away his tears, "... Others say that the Xie family is rich, but I don't even have the money to make new clothes. Now I'm complaining about this and that. I'm going to Renfu to celebrate my birthday tomorrow. I can simply wear a shabby dress! Anyway, it's not my face alone!"

Ruan's eyebrows frowned more and more. The Ren family's wealth is no less than that of the Xie family. Their family has relatives who are officials in Beijing. What doesn't she want Xie Qi to be close to Mr. Ren Sanzi? If she really gets married in the future, she may be able to pull her mother's family. After all, aren't you poor and short-minded? Are you afraid of losing your nose?

Unable to think about it, she said, "Are you so sure that Mr. Ren has you in his heart?" How old are you! I knew that Feijun would not get married.

"Of course!" Xie Qi closed his tears and raised his chin and said, "He gives me gifts every birthday. If he doesn't like me, will he do it?"

Ruan Shi glanced at her and turned his face away disapprovingly. Ren San not only gave her a birthday gift, but when did he miss the birthday of his brother and sister in the house? But I can't bear to splash my daughter's cold water. Sister Qi is so strong that she never refuses to let go of her goal. Maybe with her stubbornness, Ren San really fell under her pomegranate skirt in the end.

After thinking about it, he said, "If you can really let the Ren family propose to us to marry you, then your dowry will be covered by me!"

"Really?!"

Xie Qi jumped up, and his eyes were full of incredible ecstasy.

"Naturally take it seriously!"

Ruan stood up with a solemn face. In addition to the money in Gongzhong, Wang's family usually loves Xie Hong the most. How much do you have to make up for it in private? In case it's not enough, go and ask for your mother's family. My father has worked as a catcher for a whole life and hasn't moved his nest. He has made this marriage with the Ren family. At least it will be no problem to be promoted to the catcher.

Besides, what if the Wang family had already got the second-bedroom property at that time?

Thinking of this, her face relaxed again.

The next day, Wang took two daughters-in-law, as well as Sister Yun and Sister Qi dressed up and prepared to go to Nanyuan County.

Xie Hua, Xie Tong and Xie Lang were both ready to be candidates, so they stayed in the house. Xie Hong had no time to withdraw because he went to Hejian Mansion to collect accounts for Xie Qigong.

Xie Qi was wearing a new silver-red embroidered magnolia-patterned jacket, covered with a long silver-white twill willow pattern, a pair of buns on his head, a red gold bell on his ears, and his eyebrows flew and looked very happy. Seeing Xie Wan coming, he also showed Xie Wei, "The third sister is also here."

Xie Wan saw them off under the second door. Xie Yun glanced around and saw that she was standing alone under the door of the hanging flowers, so she said regretfully, "I heard that the Ren family has invited a troupe. Today I'm going to sing a big play for a day and a night. If only the third sister could go with us. It's boring to be alone at home."

He is now acquainted with Xie Lang, and gradually became acquainted with Xie Wan.

In fact, twenty years later, Xie Yun was not as simple as she was in front of her. With Xie Rong's promotion, he was also trained to be the successor of Xie's house. He was assigned to six subjects. Even in order to protect the interests of the family, he even participated in his mentor, Liu Yangli, compiled by Hanlin Academy. Although Liu Yangli did have the crime of slander and flattery, as a disciple of Liu Yangli, he can see him in person, which can't help but show that he also has an unrecognized side of Xie's family.

Xie Wan has no feelings for him, and in addition, there will inevitably be a battle with Xie Rong in the future, so he does not intend to get too close to him. So he said simply, "The third brother is the same for me."

Xie Yun shook her head and sighed, shook her robe back, and got on the carriage.

Looking at the three carriages leaving the door one after another, Xie Wan turned back to the room for a moment, then changed his clothes, put on a cloak, and called Yuxue Yufang to come to the front yard. He shouted loudly, "Mr. Luo! My brother left an important book in Huangshi Town. He is in a hurry to ask for it. Come back with me to find it!"

Luo Sheng answered and followed her out of the courtyard in his clothes and cuffs.

The two heads under the porch suddenly stretched out to have a look, and then shrank back.

The carriage went out of the west corner gate and went straight to the east direction of Huangshi Town. I just went around the gate and came in through the north gate again. When I got on the street, the speed of the car obviously slowed down a lot, and I went to the bustling places and places with many shops.

Finally, the whole county was almost finished, and the carriage drove to the Lizi Hutong in the south of the city.

The carlo tube held the map of Qinghe County and said, "This Rongji silk and satin house is located in the most prosperous place in the county. At that time, because of its excellent geographical location, the second grandmother was not willing to rent it out. Last year's harvest was 280 taels, and the previous year's harvest was 250 taels, but so far this year, the income is only 200 taels.

Xie Wan looked at the account book in his hand and stopped his finger in the position of September. In the two months since September, the monthly income is only seven or eight taels of silver, compared with at least ten taels of silver in previous months. September has become a dividing line between high and low income.

"It seems that due to the death of parents, not only the clerks in the store are not motivated, but also the customers who come to the door have more scruples."

She sighed, closed the book, and looked to the opposite side from the curtain opened by Yuxue.

This is a shop about two feet wide and four feet long, full of colorful cloth. And the two clerks held their cheeks and dozed in the counter.

It is the season to make winter clothes. The business of other silk shops is in full swing, and the guys in her shop are actually sleeping.

Luo Sheng was a little embarrassed and said, "The girl is right. This really has a lot to do with the death of the second master and the second grandmother. It is rumored that the property in the second room will be taken back by the old man and wife, even the shop in his hand is the same. So the guys couldn't stay any longer. Last month, I added 200 yuan to their salary without authorization, so that they could stay here. However, because there are too many goods in stock in these two months, there is no working capital to enter the winter goods, so the business is relatively small.

Xie Wan put the book, tightened the canopy strap, and said, "Go in and have a look."

With that, he had put on his cuffs and went down to the ground.

Luo Sheng and Yu Xue Yufang hurriedly followed.

The clerk in the shop obviously fell asleep. Xie Wan walked to the counter and they hadn't opened their eyes yet.

Luo Sheng was about to wake up, but was stopped by Xie Wan's staring back. Except for the chackles, she was just a little taller than the counter. She glanced at them and looked at the inventory in the cupboard.

There are a lot of goods in stock. They are all fabrics for spring and autumn clothing. After a few, there are hundreds of kinds of colors. With the unopened ones in the back warehouse, it is estimated that it will be enough to sell until next spring.

Although the quantity is large, because of the local market, most of them are medium and low-class goods with one or two taels of silver. Such people are rich families, or the aunts and sages of rich families, etc. Women with real status will not wear these, such as Wang and Huang.

After reading the color, she looked carefully at the weaving situation, and then asked Luo Sheng, "Where did this cloth come from?" It doesn't seem to come from the south of the Yangtze River.

Luo Sheng was slightly surprised and said, "The girl has unique eyes. This is really not from Jiangnan. Although the satin in the south is of high quality and the color is bright, if a single-door store like us only enters a small amount of goods, the cost will be greatly increased. Therefore, these cloths are sold from the cloth market in Hejianfu, and are basically produced in Huguang and other places. In all counties of Qingyuan Prefecture, most of the pavement like ours are from such a source of goods.

Xie Wan nodded, and then looked at the sleeping man. He and Yuxue said, "Por pick the cloth you like and move a few to the car, move as much as you can, and choose some for Wu's mother and son, as well as Yin Zuo." Then he also picked a few, and his eyes motioned Luo Sheng to help.

The group carried about 20 pieces of cloth and went out, but they didn't disturb the guy at all.

When Xie Wan got to the car, he picked up a stone from the ground and threw it into the shop. The guys heard that the head of the stone fell on the counter with a bang, and finally jumped up.

Xie Wan climbed into the car and went back home.
