Ci Jinzhi

Chapter 48

Following Duan Yunlang's entry, Xin You subconsciously glanced at the door.

Duan Yunlang reacted very quickly: "Brother said he wants to read the book for a while, let's leave him alone and go back first."

"it is good."

Seeing Xinyou's agreement, Duan Yunlang breathed a sigh of relief, and sighed on the way back: "Cousin Qing, I've heard about it. A few days ago, someone set fire to it. It's so difficult to open a bookstore!"

Xin You lifted the curtains of the car, and smiled at the young man riding beside him: "It's hard to study, too."

Hearing this topic, Duan Yunlang immediately frowned, and sighed thinking about the upcoming monthly exam.

"The second young master and the cousin girl are back." Following the report, the two walked into the wishful hall.

Seeing her granddaughter and grandson coming back together, the old lady had a smile on her face, and temporarily suppressed what she was about to say.

"Qingqing, come and sit next to grandma."

With a smile on her lips, Xin You went to sit next to the old lady, completely unable to see the unhappiness of the grandparents and grandson in the past few days.

"Are you used to eating and living outside alone?"

"Grandmother Lao is thinking about it, everything is fine."

After asking like this, Xin You went to the second wife Zhu's yard to greet Zhu, and then returned to Wanqing Residence.

Wanqingju was very quiet, although she had not been away for a long time, there was a feeling of emptiness.

This feeling was broken when Xiao Lian shouted: "The girl is back."

The two maids, Ms. Wang and Nanny Li, walked out quickly, and saluted Xin You together: "Miss."

Xiaolian wondered: "Where is Hanxue?"

Mama Wang said cautiously: "Han Xue was transferred to the old lady's yard two days ago."

"Hey, it's lucky that the old lady has taken a fancy to her."

Hearing the sarcasm in Xiaolian's tone, Mama Wang fell silent.

"I heard that it was her mother who begged Guanshi Yang, who was in charge of personnel deployment." This time it was Nanny Li who spoke.

Xin You couldn't help but glanced at Nanny Li.

She still remembered the hands that grabbed Xiaolian's neck in the picture.This Nanny Li is a member of the Qiao family. With the dismissal of the Qiao family, the snobbery of the Qiao family in the Shaoqing Mansion collapsed, and Li Nanny who stayed in Wanqingju became even more inconspicuous.

Li Nanny's reply made Xinyou find it interesting.

The person who originally wanted to harm Xiaolian conveyed the intention of getting closer to her.People's choices will indeed change.

Xiao Lian curled her lips after hearing this: "I really have the ability—"

"People go to higher places." Xin You said lightly, and walked into the house.

Xiao Lian didn't follow in, but took out the key and opened the door of the room that was used as a warehouse, and took an inventory of things.

These leftovers are also worth a lot of money.In the future, I will count it every time I come back, so as not to make people worry about it.

When it was almost noon, Ruyitang sent a message, and we had lunch together at Ruyitang.

Xin You packed up and went out, and met Duan Yunling, the third girl who was obviously waiting for her on the way.

"Cousin Qing, how are you doing at the bookstore these days?"

"There was a little trouble, but it was resolved."

Duan Yunling showed embarrassment: "I wanted to go to see you, but my grandmother said that the eldest sister and the second sister were shameless, and told me to behave less and go out less."

When Duan Yunhua was mentioned, Duan Yunling blinked and said in a low voice: "Ever since the second sister was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall, my grandmother didn't allow her to leave the hospital. Cousin Qing probably won't see her today either."

Xin You didn't care about seeing Duan Yunhua at all, and the cousins ​​came to Ruyi Hall chatting casually.

Lunch was placed in the living room, the old lady, Duan Shaoqing, Zhu's mother and daughter, Duan Yunchen and Duan Yunlang brothers, and then Xinyou and Duan Yunling, everyone was there. The second master Duan Wenbai was not at the residence today because of something.

During the meal, no one spoke a word, but when they drank tea after the meal, the old lady began to ask questions.

"Chen'er, Lang'er, how is your homework these days?"

Duan Yunchen said indifferently: "Grandmother is worried, homework is okay."

Duan Yunlang felt more guilty, and said with a dry smile that it was okay.

The old lady gave him a sideways glance: "Every time I say the same as your elder brother, it's okay, but every time the results come out, I'm dumbfounded."

Duan Yunlang took a sip of tea and fell silent.

Based on his understanding of his grandmother, the more he talks, the more he will be punished, so it's better to keep his mouth shut.

The old lady didn't focus on Duan Yunlang, she turned to look at Xin You: "Qingqing, grandma heard that someone set fire to the bookstore?"

Xin You put down the teacup: "That's what happened, the person has already been sent to the official, and who ordered him not to find out."

"As I said earlier, running a bookstore is not easy, and there are too many things to worry about inside and out."

Xin You lowered her head slightly, showing a bit of obedience: "Qingqing knows now."

The corners of the old lady's mouth turned up unconsciously: "How is the bookstore business?"

"Business is very quiet."

"I already said—"

Before the old lady persuaded her to go back to Shaoqing's mansion honestly, Xinyou's eyes turned red all of a sudden: "Qingqing's thinking was too simple before, thinking that such a big bookstore can earn some pocket money, but I didn't expect it to be Those who are at a loss have filled in all the monthly money they saved before in just a few days. Grandma, please give me some more money, or the bookstore that I just took over will be closed."

The smile on the corner of the old lady's mouth suddenly froze.

Duan Shaoqing put the teacup away, frowned and said: "Qingqing, your grandmother is right, running a bookstore is not an easy task, you, a little girl, can't handle it, you should come home—"

Xinyou pursed her lips aggrieved: "It's not easy to run a bookstore, but Qingqing never had the money to run the bookstore from the very beginning, and my grandmother only gave me the money to buy the bookstore."

Duan Yunlang was shocked: "Cousin Qing, you don't have the money for business turnover?"

Duan Shaoqing was already speechless by Xin You's words, but when he heard what his nephew said, he was even more annoyed.

This idiot!

"Stylized printing, buying stories, craftsmen's wages, all kinds of food...we need money everywhere." Xin You counted one by one, looking at the old lady eagerly, "Qingqing also learned through experience that she needs money not only to buy a shop, but also to run a business." It also costs money.”

The people sitting around the table also looked at the old lady.

How many grandchildren were there? The old lady took a deep breath and asked in a calm tone, "How much do you need?"

"I thought, 5000 taels must be enough."

The old lady waved her hand, and she couldn't help but sullen her face: "Qingqing, you don't know how to count money when you are young, so you know what kind of a huge sum 5000 taels is?"

"Qingqing knows. But she spent 2 taels to buy the bookstore. If she had to close the store in a few days because she didn't have the cash to operate it, it would be a pity. Thinking about it, she wouldn't be reconciled."

Hearing the words "unreconciled", the old lady's temples twitched, she endured her heart and said, "I'll give you 2000 taels, if you still can't manage the business, I'll close the bookstore and go home."

Xin You raised her lips: "Thank you, grandma."

On the way back to the bookstore, Xiao Lian looked at Xin You with eyes full of admiration: "Girl, you are so amazing, you got back 2000 taels after you went back to Shaoqing Mansion for a meal!"
