The Landlord And His Wife - Chapter 173
During dinner in the evening, Liu Lin discussed with his family about opening a silk shop, and said coincidentally that the shop that Liu Yuner had rented was vacated. their busy.
“Originally I wasn’t in a hurry, but the current situation is like this. It’s okay to repair it next year. Let’s discuss it with our family. What do you think?”
He was greatly surprised when he heard this: “That dignified Hanlin mansion… Really fell? I can’t imagine, such a big mansion, such a wealthy family…”
Liu Changgeng and her focus were different. Liu Changgeng heard that the business of Fang Jicheng and Liu Yuner had gone bankrupt, and turned to ask Liu Tao, who had a serious face: “Is your sister’s shop not? Open, you know? What business are they doing now?”
Liu Tao shook his head: “I don’t know, I haven’t seen her for a long time… As for the business, I don’t know.
Liu Xuer was surprised: “Second brother, why do you suddenly want to open a silk shop? You have been thinking about it for so long? Why do you have this idea? We have enough shops.” She As soon as Liu Lin said that she was going to open a silk shop, she already vaguely guessed it, but no one told her about it!
Sure enough, Mrs He said it for granted: “I have already discussed with your father that the shop and workshop are for you as a dowry. You can’t be shabby, or you won’t look good when you pass the door, and your life will be difficult…”
Liu Xuer said in surprise: “What, give it to me as a dowry?” She thought that her parents would never lose herself, but she really didn’t expect her parents to use all those things as a dowry, She said, “Mother and father, you have three sons. Those shops and workshops were earned by our family’s hard work and hard work. Why should I be alone?”
Willow laughed.
Liu Lin also smiled: “It’s right for you, the Shicheng family is not an ordinary family, their family is rich, you married too shabby, just like the mother said, your face is not good-looking, life It’s not easy either. Xu’er, why do we work hard as a family, isn’t it just to live a good life?”
Seeing that Liu Xuer was in a hurry to speak, Liu Lin smiled and hurriedly continued: “Also! You are our only sister, the only person in our family who is going to get married, and I will not give you good things. to whom?!”
The willow tree also nodded: “Yes, Xuer, you don’t have to worry, our family is also thick now! There is a house and land, and there is a lot of money saved, and my brother is not a freelancer. , isn’t that your second brother is ready to open a shop? So don’t worry, there are not many things to dowry.”
Liu Xuer still shook her head: “Big brother, second brother, I know what you think, but it is totally unnecessary! I am married, and I will eat and drink from Shicheng in the future. Someone feeds me, I Why did you take away all the shops in the family? Just to make the Shicheng family look up to me? Parents, big brother and second brother, you really don’t have to worry, I’m not brainless, and I will have a good relationship with Shicheng mother , will also please her old man, I can do it without these! Also, our family…”
Willow waved his hand: “You don’t need to say, this matter has been settled, right?”
Liu Changgeng nodded: “Yes, it has been decided, I and your mother have the final say! What you say is useless.”
Liu Xuer pursed her lips, to be honest, she could have imagined that her parents planned this way, and so did her brothers and sisters, but now that she said it, she was still very moved, of course, the family Needless to say, the child is moved, excited and so on. And she really won’t take all of these away, pursing her lips and thinking about what to say.
Liu Shu saw that she was still thinking, patted her and said: “Sister, don’t think about it, these things are nothing, you can live a good life, and the whole family is at ease! Shicheng people are good, Sincerely to you, we can rest assured on this point, and leave something close by your side, the whole family will really not have to worry about anything, even if you want to make the whole family feel at ease, you have to take it.”
Liu Sen nodded and said: “Yes, sister, don’t be polite, take it! Why are you polite with your own family? If it were me, I would definitely want it! Then I called the eldest brother and the second brother. Your shop works for you, you pay them wages, and if the big brother doesn’t give me food, you don’t pay him!”
!”
Liu Sen rubbed his nose: “I want to take the exam for a scholar! Brother, you forgot, we all have to take an exam for a scholar, and a scholar doesn’t have any math questions… Then, keep those for now…”
Liu Lin smiled and said to Liu Xuer: “Sister, don’t say anything, Dad has already spoken, it’s useless to say anything.”
Liu Tao just smiled and listened, naturally he had no room for words. Liu Changgeng and He Shi nodded, and also told Liu Xuer to stop talking.
Liu Xuer thought about it, and the family understood what she meant, but she really couldn’t take them all, she thought about it and smiled and said, “I can consider one of the shops, but there are others. The workshop must remain.”
Liu Changgeng shook his head and said, “The workshop is originally for the shop, why do you take a little and save more than half of it? If you say I want to give it to you, don’t say anything else, why are the family polite? It’s all rusty.”
He nodded and waved his hand most simply: “Don’t say it! Don’t say it! That’s it!”
Liu Xuer hurriedly said: “Father, mother! You listen to me first, I really can’t take it in the workshop, not for anything else, even if I take care of those people’s affairs, I am also very troublesome, Think about it, now all the people in charge of the workshop are my parents. If I get married, the Shicheng family’s rules, even if Shicheng’s parents are not here, I can’t go out casually. Those people in the workshop, today’s this It’s a matter of tomorrow, how can I manage it? If it’s too much and I have to go out and tell my mother-in-law to dislike me, then it’s unnecessary.”
This makes sense. Liu Changgeng and He Shi were all stunned, and they looked at each other.
The willow tree and Liu Lin, who were still joking with Liu Sen over there, stopped talking when they heard this, and hurriedly listened to this side, Liu Lin listened to the last few sentences and said, “What’s the matter? Can’t control it? You can’t control it, you can ask Shicheng to control it!”
Liu Xuer said with a smile: “Big brother, second brother! The Shicheng family has business here, and they may go to Hanzhong Mansion in the future. Besides, he doesn’t know everything, the workshop. He has never interfered at all, and naturally he doesn’t understand, we can’t make the workshop close down because we must be my dowry!”
Liu Shu heard it from the beginning to the end, and said with a smile: “You said that you can coax others, but not us. When will the shop and workshop have to be in charge of himself? The shop is looking for A shopkeeper will do, and the workshop will also find a manager. Isn’t the shop in Hanzhong Mansion in charge of the shopkeeper? You haven’t seen it for a long time, don’t you make profits every month, and your accounts are clear?”
Liu Xuer wanted to say more, but He Shi had already waved: “Don’t say it anymore! This matter is settled!” Turning to look at Liu Lin: “Let’s discuss whether the shop is rented or not. Dad, what do you think?” He turned to ask Liu Changgeng again.
Liu Xuer was helpless, she thought to discuss with Shicheng, anyway, these things must not be taken away. How could she take all the hard-earned money from the whole family.
But the second brother wants to come to a silk shop, she agrees.
Liu Changgeng heard He’s question, so he asked Liu Lin: “Have you figured out the doorway of the silk shop? Where do you buy the goods? Are our silk shops in Feng County doing well? “
Liu Lin nodded: “I have been watching it for a few years, and the purchases are going to Songjiang Prefecture, or the Suzhou-Hangzhou area, but Songjiang Prefecture has a weaving bureau of the imperial court, which drives the silk and satin shops of the surrounding private bosses. There are many silk workshops, and the best way to find the goods is in Songjiang Prefecture. As for our Fengxian County and the silk shops in Hanzhong Prefecture, I have inquired about them, and there is no problem in this regard.”
Liu Changgeng nodded.
Liu Xuer hurriedly said: “There are many ways of silk, second brother, we are not very familiar with it, if we really want to get this shop, we must first find a silk expert!”
Liu Lin nodded: “Yes, I am optimistic about everyone, the shopkeeper of Dongchangji in Fengxian County, Dongchangji’s business has not been doing well in the past few years, and it is about to close down! The shopkeeper’s As for finding a way out, if I find someone, he is naturally more suitable, an expert in the silk industry.”
Everyone listened, Liu Lin had really thought about it, and he did it very thoughtfully and cautiously. Everyone had nothing to worry about, so they all agreed that Liu Lin would let go of this silk shop. As for renting the shop in Hanlin’s house, it’s a trivial matter, and Liu Lin decides to do it.
Liu Lin was happy to see that the whole family had agreed. That night, he and Liu Shu roughly calculated the money needed to open a silk shop. Naturally, he started to invest more. Fortunately, these After years of business accumulation, their family is really just like Liu Shu said, and they already have a lot of money.
Mu, plus the previous ones, there are also 50 acres of land, all of which are handed over to Liu Changshi to take care of the wolfberry.
The rest of the silver money can’t be used for a while, so I keep it at home. Just like other people’s homes, I find a safe house, dug the ground and hide the silver box. Now that I have opened a silk shop, I just need to spend the money, so I calculated the money and prepared to turn it out.
Liu Xuer approached Shicheng to discuss the dowry. Shi Cheng nodded, of course he knew Liu Xuer, why would he not take all these things as a dowry by himself, he must find a way to keep them at home.
The dowry is enough – with the title deed of that shop, this is equivalent to a fixed asset, and the goods operated in the shop are also yours, so you don’t need to pay rent. In case… I mean in case! If you operate If it’s not good, then don’t do business, just rent out the shop for rent. This is very suitable for you, you don’t have to go out often.”
Speaking of this, Shicheng smiled and said: “I have an explanation… When I was talking about the bride price with my mother, I praised Haikou. I was worried that you passed the door, and my mother also responded. I’m here, I’m trying to trouble you because of this, so it’s the easiest and most complete way!”
Liu Xuer thought it was a good idea after listening to it. It was decided in advance, and when there was time, I would discuss it with my parents and the whole family. It happened that the eldest brother and the second brother turned over the money, so he asked Quan to turn it over.
