Chapter 240 Acquisition

Xinrong went out of the house specially. Originally, as a daughter to marry, she should have stayed in the house to make a dowry, but Xinrong generously took Yao's mother and seal out of the side door.

She went to find Li's mother. Li's mother's son works as a shopkeeper in Xue's house. Although Li's mother is still a subordinate of Xue's house, she lived with her son and daughter-in-law with the old lady's permission.

When Li's mother learned that Xinrong was coming, she was upset and asked her daughter-in-law to take her grandson to the outer room and received Xinrong in person.

Since she got the money of rich flowers, she is respectful and afraid of Xinrong. A little girl who respects her can make so much money, and what she is afraid of is the means of Xinrong. The outsider looked just a talkative little girl, but she watched with her own eyes how the rich flowers bloomed. Although the rich flowers are controlled by Marco and his wife, she will never believe it if she doesn't do anything black. Those things that can't be seen on the table are naturally ordered by her to do.

"Mother Li, now your children and grandchildren are full, and I envy this blessing very much!" Xinrong looked around at Li's mother's residence. This is just a small courtyard of an ordinary family. There are no luxurious decorations, but the place is spacious.

"Look at what you said, won't you get married next March? I heard that Mrs. An Guohou is easy to talk, and you won't suffer losses if you marry her. If you have a son and a half daughter in the future, you will be much happier than a slave. Mother Li answered respectfully.

There was a faint smile on his lips, "I came out today to ask Mother Li if she has thought of leaving Xue's house!"

As soon as he said this, Mother Li knelt down and said with a bitter face, "Ninth sister, please let go of the maidservant. I have not done any work in Xue's mansion. I'm old. I just want to watch my grandson grow up..."

"Mother Li, what are you doing! I'm just afraid that I won't be used to the things of Anguo Houfu after marriage in the future, so I want to make you a dowry mother from my grandmother. If you don't want to, just give it up!" Rong said with some regret.

"Don't..." Mother Li said quickly, "I'm willing, I'm really willing!"

He put down the tea cup, wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief and said, "You just said you want to accompany your grandson!"

"Hey, sister Jiu, don't joke with the maidservant. I'm afraid you want me to go to the Xuefu compound! But can the old lady agree? Li's mother asked with trembling.

"Mah, the old lady was eager to put a few people in front of me at that time. If you told the old lady yourself, the old lady would definitely agree. I only have such a profiant mother Yao's mother. If Feng's mother stays in Suzhou, she will not come back, so I have to come to find you in person. At least we all know everything. I don't worry about you." He said with admiration.

"That's it. I guess Xue's house is also preparing for your marriage. When I explain the family matter, I will go back to Xue's house and talk to the old lady first."

He nodded with a smile and asked about Li's mother's son and father-in-law. Li's mother said that her son and her father-in-law were in the same shop. The son was the shopkeeper, and the father-in-law became an accountant.

However, there are still two shops under Li's mother's father-in-law, and Deacon Li's status in Xue's mansion is also good.

she joked and mentioned that her four dowry shops were taken care of by people who had not been trusted. If Li's mother was willing to do it, she would let her son take care of a shop.

Mother Li almost shouted out after listening to Xinrong's words. She was a smart person. If the whole family hadn't been slaves of Xue's house, she would have wanted to leave Xue's house long ago. After all, he has been in the house for most of his life and has served Li Yu before. He is afraid that when the Xue family will fall, these subordinates will also be unlucky.

She is used to living a luxurious life in Xue's house. If she meets a bad master in the future, she can't live. Now that Xinrong has given her family a way to survive, she naturally wants to seize this opportunity.

"When my mouth comes back, I will talk to him. The maidservant asked her daughter-in-law to call the door back now. Slaves can't take care of the things in the shop. Li's mother became more respectful to her face and went out to call her daughter-in-law.

It didn't take long to see Deacon Li wearing a green shirt and robe, looking like a scholar.

When Deacon Li saw Xinrong, she kowtowed her head first. Deacon Li didn't have to mind, and asked Yao's mother to go out to talk to Li's mother.

When there were only three people left in the room, Xinrong said, "Exacon Li, we don't talk secretly. I just want to ask how many shops of the Xue family are still profitable until now?"

"It's all hard to support. The old slave has long found that there was something wrong with the account book in the shop. He once asked the old lady. The old lady only said that it was calculated according to the account book. Hey, the old slave is just a servant. No matter how anxious he is, there is nothing he can do, but those shops are the painstaking efforts of the old slave for most of his life, and the old slave does not want the operation of those shops to get worse and worse. Deacon Li is a little sad.

"According to your opinion, how can those shops be saved?"

"If it can be saved, the old slave will not worry so much. A few days ago, the old lady just dismissed several shopkeepers. Now most of the Xue's shops are in the hands of the family slave, and there are three shops in the hands of the old slave."

"Other shops are in the same situation?"

"Basically, this is the case."

said with a smile, "Do you think the old lady would be willing if I asked the old lady for those shops and give the old lady some money?"

"How can this work? Buying those shops is a complete loss-making business. Sister Jiu, I really advise you not to buy those shops, hey..." Deacon Li persuaded.

"You can't lose much. How many shops are there in Xue's house? How much is a shop worth now?"

Seeing that Demention wanted to buy those shops, Deacon Li stopped persuading them and said, "There are 15 shops, three cloth houses, two silver buildings, five rice shops, two restaurants, one pharmacy, one rouge shop, and a brothel. Except for the slightly expensive brothel, it's only 3,000 yuan. Other shops can be bought at most 2,000 taels a room.

"Puff..." When he heard the brothel, the tea in Li Yun's mouth spewed out.

No wonder Xue's money has been lost for so many years, and he can still spend money lavishly. Any of these shops is a profitable industry.

"It is reasonable that this brothel should not lose money!" He said slowly, "The profit of the rice store is also high. Why is it a loss?"

"Hey, in recent years, most rice shops have filled Chen rice as new rice, and there are still a lot of bran in some rice. Large families don't come to buy these rice, and poor people can't afford it, so they will naturally lose money. The old slave heard the deacon who ran the brothel say that the brothel was well in the past few years, but the old lady told the girls in the building to spend too much money, so she thrifty down a lot of money. Now the good girls have gone to other places, leaving only a few crooked melons and dates to make two or three small money.

Xinrong filtered all the news in her heart, but decided to buy all the shops in Xue's house, and the corners of her lips raised a beautiful curvature.
