Chapter 25 We
On this day, Lu Weimang took the butler to wander the streets as usual.

"Two wontons."

Tired from walking, Lu Weimang and the housekeeper found a wonton stand on the street, ate a couple of bites, and rested their feet by the way.

"Miss, although our family is a bit difficult, we don't need to eat wontons every day, do we? We don't need to eat such expensive things like the first day, but we can just find an ordinary restaurant, right?"

Steward Lu looked at the wonton in front of him and wrinkled his face, he didn't want to eat it.

It's not that he's picky, the key is that the young lady has eaten wontons for seven days in a row, and the wontons taste mediocre.

"Old Lu, why are you still picky eaters? I'm treating guests, it's good to eat something."

Butler Lu's expression became even uglier.

The last 100 taels he had withdrawn from the cashier in the mansion were spent by his lady for a day, and when he went out in the future, he could only eat and drink behind the lady with a stern face.

In just a few days, the housekeeper fully realized that a person still needs to be rich, and pointing at others to spend money is not restricted everywhere?The master used to spend too much money, and I will be stricter for the master in the future.

The point is, when it's the lady's turn to pay for it herself, their standard of living has been directly reduced from a big restaurant to a roadside stall.And he didn't say anything about changing the taste for a few days in a row, which made Steward Lu feel like vomiting when he saw the wontons.

But after walking for a long time, his stomach was really hungry. Steward Lu rubbed his stomach, picked up the vinegar pot on the table and poured it vigorously into the bowl, intending to let the vinegar smell overwhelm the fishy smell in the wontons.

"What are you looking at? Isn't your vinegar here for people to use? Didn't you get paid?"

Steward Lu was suffocated by his young lady, seeing that the wonton stall owner kept looking at him, he could only vent his anger on the shop owner.

"It's a big deal and I'll give you two extra cash when I check out later, okay?"

Steward Lu was generous with his young lady, and the shopkeeper immediately nodded in agreement, as long as he gave money, he could put as much vinegar as he wanted.

Seeing the housekeeper like this, Lu Weimang secretly smiled.

My father is a madman, he can't let go, and the housekeeper doesn't give in too much.Now let him suffer the grievance of having no money, and see if he dares to spend too much in the future.

After eating wontons, the master and servant sat on the wonton stand and talked.

"Miss, if you really can't figure it out, you can buy a shop and rent it out, or buy a few acres of land outside the city of Kyoto. Isn't that what other people do?"

After hearing this, Lu Weimang quickly squeezed his purse tightly, "Don't worry about the money I sold the house, that money is the capital of my business. And the two ways you said are not suitable for our family. We are a big family. The burden is so heavy, and you have to pay rent of three melons and two dates every year, do you think the wonton stuffed with meat is too meaty, and want to spend a few days eating bran and swallowing vegetables?"

Butler Lu shut up immediately.

"What are you talking about? I heard you say that the family is difficult, eating chaff and swallowing vegetables. Is the life of General Lu's mansion so hard? I have some private money here, and I can borrow it from you."

Qin Xuan, who had disappeared for a few days, suddenly appeared, did not treat himself as an outsider at all, sat next to Lu Weimang, and spoke directly.

"Shopkeeper, here is a bowl of wontons."

"Why are you eating here today instead of going to Rongsheng Pavilion? Are the wontons here delicious?"

Young Master Qin Xuan is wearing a moon-white robe, a golden crown and a jade belt today, and his spirits are flying high. The joy that emanates from the inside of his whole body has already overflowed. Anyone with eyes can tell that there must be a happy event happening to this young man from eight feet away.

Lu Weimang was worrying at the moment, seeing the joy of Young Master Qin, he felt sore in his heart.

Lu Weimang was too lazy to talk, Qin Xuan didn't care, took a spoon to scoop up a wonton and put it in his mouth.

"Well…"

Maybe the taste of the wonton was unexpected, Qin Xuan wanted to spit it out when he opened his mouth, but Lu Weimang quickly covered his mouth and blocked it.

Qin Xuan was forced to swallow the wonton, and tears came out.

Seeing Qin Xuan eating the wonton, Lu Weimang withdrew his hand.

"You murder! You nearly choked me to death just now."

Lu Weimang saw that he was in a bit of a mess, and his mood suddenly became better, and he was in the mood to talk to him.

"At noon on the day of hoeing, the sweat drips down to the soil. Who knows that the food on the plate is hard-working. You have to cherish the food, you know?"

Lu Weimang's expression was earnest.

Qin Xuan looked taught, "Is this the poem you wrote? It's really well written. It's not easy to grow food, and the Tian family is saving money. I really can't waste food."

After finishing speaking, he picked up the wontons and poured them all into his stomach one by one like a hero.

Lu Weimang and the housekeeper were dumbfounded.

"Well, it doesn't have to be like that."

Seeing Qin Xuan like this, Lu Weimang felt a little embarrassed, and took out a salted plum from his purse and handed it over.

Qin Xuan took it and threw it in his mouth quickly, for fear that he would spit it out later.

"Why did you come out again today and didn't go to school?"

Lu Weimang changed the subject.

"Today is a holiday. I can't wait to go to school these days. I'm afraid of those low-mouthed people. They used to surround me all the time, buzzing and annoying, but now, whenever I see them It’s too exhausting to take a detour.”

Qin Xuan said with excitement.

Lu Weimang also felt happy when he heard it, "You hit them, but they didn't fight back?"

"I fought back, but those are all sloppy sacks. I held them down like a turtle and couldn't turn over. They couldn't hit me at all."

Qin Xuan was triumphant.

"What about your father? Have you been punished?"

"I just verbally reprimanded Uncle Wu Chang who came to the door, and then said that I was good at fighting. He also said that our hard work is the world of fighting, and people who talk bad all day should be beaten."

Lu Weimang finally knew why Qin Xuan was so happy. The child who was often ignored and reprimanded was suddenly praised by his father. Of course he was happy. He might see that the sun looks like a flower at the moment.

Lu Weimang nodded and smiled, happy for Qin Xuan.

Qin Xuan suddenly remembered how distressed Lu Weimang was just now.

"By the way, you were talking about the money for selling the house, the heavy burden, etc. Are you short of money? I still have a few hundred taels here, so I'll give it to you."

As he said that, he took out a roll of bank notes from the purse at his waist and handed it to Lu Weimang, it seemed that there could be three 500 taels.

Lu Weimang looked at the banknote and sighed, "You don't need to take the flowers. My problem cannot be solved with a few hundred taels."

Ever since Qin Xuan got acquainted with Lu Weimang, he has regarded this little sister who has a rare temper as a friend, not to mention that she also gave him advice and won his father's praise. Now he completely regards Lu Weimang as himself "Brothers" too.Brother is in trouble, of course we have to help.

"The money is not enough, so I'll go back and find out my private money and give it to you, but I don't have a lot of private money, so I spend as much as I have. If it doesn't work, I can only open my mouth to my mother. But it doesn't matter, my mother loves you the most." I'm sorry, when I go out today, my mother gave me these pocket money, you wait a few more days, I'll save up, how can I have a few thousand taels."

Jealousy is beyond recognition.

Looking at other people, they are also honorable people, and their pocket money is hundreds of taels, and their entire worth is not as much as other people's pocket money for a few days. Of course, the 10,000 taels are not counted.

Although I know that one is a top honor, and the other is barely enough to reach the tail of honor.

Lu Weimang glanced at the butler, and the butler looked up at the sky.

"No, it's not about money. I'm worrying about business."

Lu Weimang pushed the money back and told the truth.

It's rare to have a person of similar age to talk to, and Lu Weimang doesn't want to take his money.Between friends, we must treat each other as equals.

"Business, Wei Wei, you are really good. You have to start your own business at such a young age. You take the money and treat it as my shareholding. You are so good, Wei Wei, you can definitely earn a lot of money. I can count on you Take a ride and earn some pocket money in the future."

Lu Weimang said it was serious, but Qin Xuan misunderstood it, after all, Weiwei had already fallen to the point where she wanted to eat such unpalatable wontons.Who would eat this if it wasn't extra tough?
Looking at Qin Xuan with a serious face, afraid that he would see through his thoughts of helping him, Lu Weimang had no choice but to take out his giant 10,000 taels silver ticket, flashed it past Qin Xuan's eyes, and quickly took it back in purse.

"See clearly? I have money."

"Miss, what was that just now? A bank note? Why is it so big?"

Butler Lu is old, so he didn't see clearly.

"No, it's the ledger I wrote and carried with me."

"Oh~"

Butler Lu, I always feel that something is wrong. Is the lady fooling me?

Qin Xuan could see it clearly, he had only seen large bank notes from his mother before, but he didn't expect Wei Wei to be a rich man at such a young age!
"Wei Wei, since you are so rich, why do you still need to start a business? Wouldn't it be good to buy some shops and land to collect rent?"

Thinking of what he saw at his mother's place, Qin Xuan was a little puzzled by the lively scene of the shop steward at the end of the year and the Zhuangtou's report.

Lu Weimang didn't know how to explain it.Shops in good locations have backgrounds. People like Qin Hou have good locations, high rents, and considerable annual income.

However, some shops in ordinary areas are expensive in Kyoto, and a shop can cost several thousand taels, but it is difficult to rent out if the annual rent exceeds one hundred taels.

I used the money to collect rent, and the rent was not enough to cover the mansion for two months.

"I don't want to be a charterer, I just want to start a career!"

That's all Lu Weimang could say.

"Be ambitious, Wei Wei. You're right, who said we can't start a career when we are young. Wei Wei, tell me, what kind of business do we do? Salt? Food? Or a restaurant? How much capital do you want? I'll go back and talk to my mother. Yes, we must start the business, make it bigger and stronger, and achieve a career!"

Qin Xuan didn't know which string was touched, and his blood became hot instantly.

However, "I do business, not us."

Lu Weimang emphasized.

"Hey, what's yours is mine, what's mine is yours, we are brothers, what do you share?"
