Emperor Kangxi sent me to marry

Chapter 117 Embroidery Workshop
The reply to Dobu must be written as soon as possible, but Haifeng has a difficulty in handling the money.

Although Dobu gave her the money, he couldn't spend it without any movement, and he had to tell him what to do in the end.

For a while, she couldn't think of a particularly good deal.

According to previous life experience, it is best to do horse business.But I can't get out of the palace easily, I can't watch it with my own eyes, and I can't tell if the people below are playing tricks.

Seeing the master not moving his pen, Ah Xiang and Shu Tai were also anxious, serving tea and adding fragrance, busy to and fro.

Hai Feng noticed that the two of them kept moving around, so he simply put down his pen, and whispered with the maids.

Knowing that Hai Feng was only worried about money, Shu Tai felt relieved.

"Gege is also too kind. If you want to do business, you can put usury. It's very easy. It just depends on who has the most power. You just want to let ordinary people, who would dare not Pay back the royal money? Mothers will scold me for saying this, but everyone in the palace knows that the empress of the palace does not provide some business subsidies? Even a kind person like the empress dowager, together with the concubine De, in the Opening a shop outside! Otherwise, the masters will not be able to survive just relying on the monthly schedule."

Hai Feng also knew about these things.Now that she is still young, all kinds of uses are limited, and her aunt has to secretly advance money, otherwise Ah Xiang and the others will have to be wronged.

But such a vile thing as lending usury, let's forget it.

Seeing Haifeng's displeasure, Ah Xiang also tried to persuade her.

"Gege, lending loan sharks may not be a bad thing. You don't know that when the poor are driven to a dead end, they have to borrow money with 100% interest, or they have to die. If you go out and release usury, at least you won't exploit usury. Ama, a slave , Once he became addicted to gambling, he borrowed 200 taels, and he dared to pay [-] taels the next day. If there was a connection like yours back then, the servant’s family would not have to pay that many debts.”

Shu Tai is a straight-hearted girl, and it was the first time she heard what Ah Xiang said about these terrible things in her family.As he continued to press the question sentence by sentence, his eyes were burning with anger.

"Is this the man who is the head of the family? It's even cheaper for him to be a beggar on the street! Ge Ge, you have to support Ah Xiang. If you ask Master Chen or Prince An to take action, you can't take care of a guard? Otherwise, her sisters, In the future, they will all have to be sold to be concubines and maidservants!"

Seeing that Ah Xiang lowered her head and said nothing, Hai Feng was convinced that her father-daughter relationship had been completely broken.

What I said in the Buddhist hall that day was definitely not a momentary mood.

"Axiang, if you are sure, the sisters in the family will not soften their hearts and go to help you, Ama, in the future, and I will take care of your family's affairs."

"Gege, you really are willing to save the suffering and the needy. The slave pledges his life, not only himself, but even the sisters will serve you faithfully!"

After taking the poisonous oath, Ah Xiang knelt on the ground and actually kowtowed three times to Hai Feng.

Hai Feng asked Shu Tai to help Ah Xiang up, he had already made up his mind.

"The house of yours is small and old, but it is in a good location. If you take it back, you can rent it or sell it, and it will be a lot of money. I think your embroidery and clothes making skills can be advanced even in the palace. My lord, your sisters must be very skillful."

"Yes. The slave is at home, and his hands are not the most skillful."

"That's good. I'll ask Zhang Shun to take the money and buy a spacious shop. I'll tell them to live there, open an embroidery workshop, and do some needlework. You don't need to make a lot of money. First, take care of food and clothing, and slowly Let’s talk about the next day.”

Ah Xiang couldn't help crying, soaking the handkerchief that Shu Tai lent her.

"Gege is kind, but I, Ama, came to the door. How can I stop them girls?"

"Well, I already have an idea. Not only you, Ama, but also those bastard brothers, I will pack them up and send them to Yaksa City to serve hard labor. If they report their deaths later, they won't be able to come back. You can still get Pension money. Although this amount of money is far from being able to make up for your sufferings, it is better than nothing. Anyway, if he is in the capital, not a single penny will fall into your hands."

If Sabsu was really saved, then he shouldn't be unwilling to help even this little help, right?
Shu Tai rearranged the case, Hai Feng picked up the pen, and quickly finished writing the letter.

Ah Xiang watched Hai Feng put on the letter anxiously, and solemnly assured her.

"The sisters in the servant's family are all hard-working and willing to work, and they will never let Gege suffer. In recent years, for the sake of livelihood, whenever there is a house in Beijing that uses needlework outside, the servant's family has dealt with each other. As long as the embroidery workshop opens, the business will start immediately. It's a pity that I missed the most profitable time at the end of the year."

Hearing what she said, Hai Feng suddenly became interested.

"You two make some supper, don't let the nuns know. Let's eat together and talk for a while."

With the crispy glutinous rice sticks in her mouth, Hai Feng asked all the officials in the capital she could remember one by one.

"How is Mingzhu Mansion?"

"That's a first-class good customer, as long as the best craftsmanship, the price is never asked, never counter-offering. But the slave doesn't like their house, I always feel that Master Mingzhu is selling an official."

Before Hai Feng could speak, Shu Tai couldn't wait to ask.

"How did you know that?"

"I don't know the specifics, I'm just guessing. Every year when officials are promoted or demoted, Master Mingzhu's house is very busy, and the needles and threads used are more than two or three times more than usual. Clothes for officials, those are the needleworkers raised in the mansion, who take care of them carefully. But if they are too busy, their family will ask outside to help embroider the wives' clothes."

Hai Feng wrote down all these, and continued to ask.

"What about Soetu?"

"His family is also generous, but it's fake generosity. In fact, there are not many who dare to open gambling games and loan usury in the capital. The eldest sister of the slave once went to pay off the debt, and she saw the steward who usually came to take care of the business at home. It is written proof. It is said that it is a loan of 5000 taels, with a three-point interest, and it will be repaid in one month. But their family uses more and more every year. Isn’t it fake generosity?”

The more you listen to this gossip, the more interesting it becomes, and the more you listen, the more excited you become.Hai Feng chatted with them until midnight before resting.

That's what it says in the book, see the micro-knowledge.

Unexpectedly, the old foxes in the court all pretended to be dignified, and the private house was in chaos.

If she had some carbonated drinks or milk tea to refresh herself, served with potato chips, and if she didn't have to go to class tomorrow, she really wanted to chat all night.

After freshening up and putting on the lamp, Hai Feng was still very excited and couldn't fall asleep.

Ah Xiang was on duty today, hearing her toss and turn on the kang, she couldn't help laughing.

"Gege put it down, I can't finish listening to the story all night."

"How do you understand, I'm greedy, I want to drink milk tea."

"That's not easy. The servant will prepare it for you tomorrow morning."

"It's not that milk tea, what I want to drink is..."

With a flash of inspiration in his mind, Hai Feng suddenly sat up, startling Ah Xiang.

How stupid!How can you be so stupid!

Are all those temporary jobs in college for nothing?

Open an embroidery workshop, open a milk tea shop!
