Wear ancient times with a house

Chapter 175

Song Nian didn't drag his family with him, and he didn't have any luggage. Although there was ice on the road and he needed to slow down a bit, he arrived in Liyang County in a day and a half.

It wasn't long before they left, so Liyang County is the same as before, at most there are fewer people on the road. After all, in this weather, unless they don't come out to work, most people will choose to stay at home unless they really have nothing to eat. Otherwise, if you get sick from the cold, no amount of money will be enough to make up for it.

Song Nian went home first, asked Tian Fu if Tian Gui was comfortable in the county these days, and how the business was doing, and then took a general look at the account book that Tian Fu handed over.

He was not too worried about whether the two cousins ​​teamed up to cheat, mainly because the Song family's current business, even if more than half of their income was embezzled, would not be more useful to the Tian family than maintaining a close relationship with someone like Song Nian.

However, it is true that the shopkeepers of these shops in my hometown should be gradually replaced. Just looking at the fact that the business has not improved much in recent years, it is clear that even if there is no corruption, it will be muddled and the shop will not be able to play its role well.

At that time, cousins ​​and even nephews who have a good relationship in the clan can be recruited for help, so that the Song family and the Tian family can form a check and balance, and he doesn't need to pay more attention to the situation in Liyang County in the short term.

Song Nian thought to himself.

After reading the account book, Song Nian originally wanted his cousins ​​to go back to rest, so he can also take a rest, and he has to go to Wang's house tomorrow.

As a result, Tian Fu mentioned another very important matter, that is:

"Ah Nian, there are several new shops opened in the county, and the products they sell taste very similar to ours."

This is indeed bad news, but it is not surprising. Song Nian felt that his own recipes were not difficult to talk about, and it was normal for others to imitate them.

It's just that ordinary small businessmen know that this is the Song family's shop as soon as they inquire about it. Although Song Nian has no official position and only recruits people, it is still not so easy to offend for ordinary people, so they will not easily imitate.

But for those who don't care whether to offend Song Nian, this business is too small, they may not be able to take it seriously.

Song Nian recalled the skills in the account book during this period, indeed, it has been increasing, and it is inevitable that some people will be jealous.

However, he has no good solution, he can only say to Tian Fu:
"People have to learn. We can't control it, and we don't need to lower the price. Once the price drops, it will be difficult to raise it. If they follow suit, it will only hurt others and benefit ourselves."

Tian Fu was not as open-minded as Song Nian. The two brothers were entrusted with their cousin's family business in Liyang County, so they had to be more careful. He asked again:
"Then we have to think of a way. The cooks are bought and the men are hired. If the business is not good, it will be a loss."

Song Nian thought of those chili seeds at home, but felt that the turning point might come in a few months, so he could only appease his two cousins ​​first:
"Don't worry, I have a solution, but I have to wait for a few months, let's talk about it after the New Year."

On the second day, Song Nian went to Wang's house.

Aunt Song's letter didn't make it very clear, but only said that Wang Shao was betrothed, and that the other party was the daughter of a scholar who taught in the academy?

Wang Shao grew up under the knees of his grandparents. Although Wang Pu's children will win the extremely meticulous hospitality and love from Wang Juren and Aunt Song once they go back, if they want to say that they have deep feelings, they have to be with Wang Shao and Wang Shao. Elegant fiber.

So everyone assumes that the grandparents will pick a good marriage for them.The fact is also the same, Aunt Song has always wanted to wait a little longer, when Wang Qi is admitted to Jinshi, or when Wang Shao is admitted to Xiucai, the marriage can be said to be more decent.

But Aunt Song was getting old, and she had to manage the whole family by herself, and also had to manage some chores of the academy, so it was inevitable that she was a little powerless.

At this time, you can see how tired a person who is used to taking care of everything is.

The right to speak at home is both power and shackles for Aunt Song.

At least when she is too busy alone, she can't share anything for him when she sees her husband, son, and grandson.As for the granddaughter, she has to brainwash her every day to correct her thoughts early.

It's just that a grandmother has to think about her grandson. Even though she really needs help, she still didn't tell her family until she fell ill.

In the words of Chinese medicine, this is called yang hyperactivity, which requires calmness, no fatigue, and no staying up late.

If Song Yun was here, he would have recognized the name of the disease, it was high blood pressure.Her grandma in her previous life also suffered from this disease. She kept nifedipine all year round, and when she got angry, she would get a headache. Before she was kicked out, she would occasionally go to the pharmacy to help buy medicine after school.

As for now, it is a pity that she does not have this medicine in her house. Even if she has it, she still wants to keep it, in case her family needs it in the future?

Aunt Song's illness, many things have not been dealt with, Wang Qi and Wang Shao thought about whether to release Mrs. Chen, who has been imprisoned for several months, so they should have figured it out, right?
But for Aunt Song, it is better to find a granddaughter-in-law than to release her daughter-in-law. At that time, someone will help with housework, Wang Yaxian will be taught, and Wang Shao will be taken care of.

This is indeed an ancient value. To marry a daughter-in-law, there are candidates to serve the elders, to educate younger siblings, and to take care of men. This is not like having an extra person in the family. It is like buying a set of housekeeping services. team.

But the rest of the Wang family obviously agreed with this point, so they began to search intensively.

To be honest, when the Wang family started to plan their marriage, it was the time when Bai Sui and Mo Zhu got married, and the speed was fast enough. It would take months or even a year for others to compare, discuss, and make a decision, but the Wang family was very quick. The ground advances.

If it wasn't for the unsightly appearance of letting a new daughter-in-law in, and they didn't pick a very suitable day, they wished they could have gotten married years ago.

When Song Nian came back, he just wanted to make sure that he wasn't being fooled and tricked. As for the candidate, he didn't express any opinion.

Song Nian chatted with his aunt, advised her to relax, encouraged Wang Shao, and then returned home.

I thought I could leave in a hurry tomorrow, but I saw my cousin and his grandson standing awkwardly at the door of the house.

Ever since Song Nian was admitted as a scholar, this kind of thing has happened a lot. Those who came to borrow money, asked him to find a relationship, asked him to look after the qualifications of his nephew, and those who were best accepted as disciples. Misery or threat, Song Nian has different ways to deal with it.

Song Nian took his uncle home first, and secretly thought about the other party's intentions. This uncle had a good relationship with his family. When they were orphans and widowed, the other party also said something fair. If it wasn't something embarrassing, He didn't mind helping out either.
