114 Resentment
Xie Hong asked Wang what she planned to do. Wang said, "At Mrs. Ren's request, it seems that my maid doesn't want to marry Ren Jun. Otherwise, she doesn't have to beg me. If you want to make Wan's maid obediently make this marriage, you have to take some measures. If you can succeed this time, the future will be solved by yourself. We can't miss it any more. Let's make a good deployment first.
With that, he waved to Xie Hong and whispered a few words.After listening to this, Xie Hong said, "But it's up to your mother's order!" After saying that, he straightened up and thought, "This family is not a good stubble. With a snobbish and good-faced person like Mrs. Ren, she chose Wan's maid, who was the daughter of a bereaved woman, and most of them didn't have any good intentions. Although she promised to give us the dowry after the maid went through the door, we had to guard against her doing things in private.
Wang Shi said, "You don't need to remind me of this. I've thought about it for a long time. I have made a note with her. I'm not afraid that she will play tricks. Besides, I will also take a copy of the dowry list when my maid passes by. At that time, I won't be afraid that she will make trouble behind her back. Just waiting for Wan's maid to marry Ren Jun, we will start to plan to kick Lang Ge'er out of the clan. Therefore, this matter must be kept secret. Don't mention your daughter-in-law and Qi sister for the time being, so as not to disturb the second room by leaking the wind.
said, take out the receipt.
Xie Hong saw it and gave a thumbs-up with a smile: "It's still the mother who is smart, and the son obeys!"
After listening to Wang's words, Xie Qi under the window almost fell to the ground.
She knew that because of what happened this time, she was unlikely to be looked down upon by Mrs. Ren. However, didn't Wang also say that at the beginning? As long as you don't get married for a day, it's still possible. What's more, even if you make a reservation, you can withdraw from the marriage. Therefore, she has never been discouraged by this. She kept telling herself that Ren Jun would be hers in the end.
However, at present, Mrs. Ren asked Wang to marry Xie Wan to Ren Jun, and absurdly, Wang and Xie Hong also agreed!
She has guarded Ren Jun for more than ten years and has a scar on his forehead. She was sent to cover Yue'an to live for a few months, and now she is even more hated by Xie Wei. She hasn't left anything, but they still have to marry Xie Wan to Ren Jun?
Her heart sank to the bottom.
Although she also envies Xie Wan for being so rich. She also cares about her future dowry, but she cares more about who is Ren Jun's wife. The Ren family also has money. As long as she marries Ren Jun and becomes the young grandmother of the Ren family, can she spend less money with the love of Ren Junyuan by Master Ren and Mrs. Ren? Will she still not mind her mother's family?
But obviously, in their hearts, she is not reliable to marry well, and the reliable ones are those she grabbed with her own hands!
Xie Qi couldn't help but feel desolate.
It turns out that in the face of interests, all family affection and love are fake. At the beginning, the reason why Xie Hong agreed with her to pester Ren Jun was that she might bring benefits to the long house after marrying the Ren family. Now the Ren family can help them get greater benefits, so even the wishes of their own daughter can be ignored.
She lowered her head and stroked the pollen box in her hand and tried her best to throw it far away.
Various styles of rouge boxes rolled out. Stop on the grass, like a place of colorful remnants of flowers.
She stared at them for a long time, and suddenly strode over again, picked them up one by one, and put them back into the box.
Xie Wan returned to Qinghe on the third day after Wang and others returned home.
When she entered the door, she sat down. Chunhui brought a few rouges from the capital master Yuyantang, saying that it was sent by Xie Qi. A gift from the aunt of the Ren family.
She didn't even look at it, so she asked Yuxue to take it down and give it back to Xie Qi.
She doesn't care about the rouge of Yu Yantang. Every time Luo Ju comes back to the capital, he will bring her some flowers and powders. If she can't use it up, she will give it to others. Now there are still a few on the dressing table. And this thing comes from the Ren family, and she doesn't want it anymore. Who knows what they feel? She hasn't figured out why Mrs. Ren invited Wang and the others to visit so solemnly this time.
Yu Xue Yi Yi went to send rouge. Xie Qi didn't say anything. He just nodded and accepted it.
Xie Wan then asked, "What was she doing when you went there?"
Yu Xue said, "It's nothing unusual to read on the couch."
Xie Wan also gave it down.
Two days later, Yuxue came back and said, "This time the old lady went to Ren's house. I heard that it was just a common place to eat and play cards. The topics were also surrounded by the marriage between the eldest grandmother and the uncle, and the life of the aunt of the Ren family in Beijing, which did not involve anything else. Mr. Ren heard that he also went to the capital, but he was not in the house.
Xie Wan pondered for a moment after listening, but said nothing else.
Next, she observed for another month. In this month, under the leadership of Zhang's family, the long room was still keen on the daily morning and evening, and the third room was still absent with various excuses. Xie Qigong gave Xie Hong a task and went to Jiangnan to collect the bill in the middle of the month. Xie Qi still put her young lady on airs in the house, dressed in clusters of flowers all day, like butterflies swimming in the spring.
I really didn't find anything strange.
Xie Wan gradually moved his thoughts and taken care of the rice shop.
The rice shop business in Qianmen Hutong is becoming more and more stable, and Xie Wan is not satisfied with doing individual business. Therefore, after the Spring Festival, Luo Ju was allowed to stay in Beijing for two months, and the target was to the official family near Shuntianfu School, and directly signed an agreement with their procurement or general manager to supply rice and grain to the house. Luo Ju lived up to expectations and won three companies in two months, so that he made a fixed profit of five or six hundred taels of silver per month.
Luo Ju was greatly encouraged by this point. Last month, he met two good shops for sale in Sangtianfang on the road, so he inquired about the situation and came back to tell Xie Wan.
"In our present situation, it is not a problem to open three or four more shops within the year. Sangtianfang is close to Wangfu Street, and there are royal clans nearby. If you open a shop here and take down the rice and grain business in the two clans' house, basically one of them can add up to twice the profit of all our silk shops.
Xie Wan looked at the map in his hand and recalled the royal clans in Kuangtianfang in his previous life. Xungui's house is unreliable now, unless it is the Huo family, the Duke of the Protectorate. However, the Huo family is worth more than half of the prince's palace. With her current strength, it is impossible to monopolize the Huo family's rice. On the contrary, these princesses and princes' families can be considered.
"You can buy it." She nodded and said, "But in that case, you might as well coordinate all the shops.
"For example, printing some grain stamps, that is, as long as we are our food owners, holding grain stamps printed with our business and denominations, we can exchange the same amount of rice and grain in any shop under our name, which not only provides convenience for people, but also saves the fact that sometimes the other side is busy but The dilemma, and more importantly, we can use this to spread the name of our shop.
Luo Ju thought for a moment and suddenly shook his body: "That's a good idea! With more food stamps in circulation, the name of our shop will gradually spread, and the reputation will become louder and louder!" He got up and said, "I'm going to Beijing to prepare for this!"
Xie Wan quickly shouted at him: "Just come back. What's the hurry? It's not too late to leave after the Dragon Boat Festival."
There are only three days before the Dragon Boat Festival. According to the agreed day, my uncle's family will come to the shuttle alley tomorrow. Xie Wan had already asked Luo Sheng to go down to the second room to spend the holiday in the house. Luo Ju came back easily, so naturally he could not leave him behind.
When Luo Ju heard what she said, he put down his business and went to the shuttle alley to help Luo Sheng get busy.
Xie Wan arrived here the next day. After Xie Qigong, he also went to the shuttle alley with Xie Lang.
Qi Song's family arrived at Chen Shi.
Yu Shiman thought that even Xie Wan's house was at most about the same size as the house in Huangshi Town. When he arrived at the gate of Xie's house, he couldn't help opening his eyes wide when he saw the long wall. After entering the door, he could see the winding corridor in the two doors under the hanging flower door, and the I was so surprised that I couldn't even speak.
"This house should have a lot of money, right?"
After sitting down in the Danxia courtyard where Xie Wan arranged for their family to live, Yu looked at Xie Wan and said gloomily. She was really afraid that Xie Wan had emptied the house. Although it was good to live in her own place, it was a little too bold to do all the housework to buy it.
Xie Wan smiled and said, "Buy a house, repair it, buy flowers, trees and furniture, and the contract is about 7,000 to 8,000 taels."
"Seven or eight thousand taels!"
Not only Yu Shi was surprised, but also Qi Song and a pair of children were surprised.
Xie Wan smiled and said, "Don't blame your aunt. Although this house spends a lot of money, we are not short of that at the moment." With that, he told them about the opening of a rice shop in the capital and the business situation. I didn't mean to hide it from my uncle and aunt. I was really afraid that the situation would be heard by the Wang family. Now at least they can stand alone, so I dare to do so.
Luo Ju came forward and said with a smile, "Uncle, don't worry. Now that the second house is profitable for a year, there is still more than enough to buy such a house. Our girl is very measured in doing things."
"That's good!" After hearing this, Yu relaxed and exchanged eyes with her husband. She looked at Xie Wan with a smile and said, "I told you, you can't afford such a big house with those shops alone. It turns out that you still have the ability to open a rice shop in the capital!"
After saying that, he said to Luo Ju, "Although the girl is capable, you can still protect the girl when she is young. You can't help her fool you. What's more, you can't be blinded by the word making money.Luo Ju said with his head, "I will follow my uncle's instructions."
Xie Lang smiled and said, "Wang Wan is extremely stable. Now the only one around her is Mr. Cheng."
Yu Shi nodded with a smile, and then asked Qi Ruzhen to take a few servants down to carry the rice dumplings.
Qi Song heard that Xie Wan had invited Cheng Yuan, who had a good history, for the Western banquet for Xie Lang. He wanted to have a meeting. Now when he heard him mention it, he said, "I don't know where Mr. Cheng is now?" RP
