my wife is wonderful

Chapter 3 Shop
Geng Xingshuang told his uncle what happened in the uncle's mansion this morning.

"I already knew that old hag is not a good thing!"

Ruan Jin finally couldn't hold back, and muttered something.

"Tell me, what do you want uncle to do?"

"Although Yu Yapo is also engaged in ordinary business, Mrs. Uncle specially invited her to the uncle's house today. Naturally, she didn't just sell the three of them to other wealthy families to be maids. I guess... the three of them are likely to ask for help. It fell into the dirty land, so I asked my uncle to take someone to Yu Yapo's house in Liu'er Hutong to buy half rolls and fragrant orchids. Uncle can buy them back with a little money for how much Mrs. Uncle sold them. The half-volume body deed is transferred to my name, and the Xianglan body deed is transferred to the sixth younger sister's name."

It would take some procedures for others to change the deed, but for the head of the police squad, one of the three squads of Ningdu Prefecture Yamen, it is really not a big deal to change the deed of a servant.

"Okay, after buying those two girls, I'll take them home and let your aunt take care of them. When you have a place to put them, just pick them up."

Ruan Jin nodded without saying a word, and glanced at the bamboo basket hanging on the curtain, "That cake is for me, bring it!"

Hualian hurriedly handed the bamboo basket to Ruan Jin, Ruan Jin turned and walked back, not forgetting to tell: "I'm going to find some brothers, you go and do your work, pay attention to safety, if you encounter difficult things to deal with Come here to find your uncle, or your cousin, although he is not good, he is always a man, and many things will be much easier with his help."

Before the words fell, people had already entered the gate of the government office.

From meeting to parting, the uncle and nephew did not take more than a cup of tea, and they were so straightforward that Geng Xingchen was almost stunned.

"Let's go."

Before Geng Xingchen had time to express his opinion, Geng Xingshuang had already turned around and walked towards the carriage parked not far away.

"Fifth Sister, will Uncle Ruan really help me rescue Xianglan?"

After getting into the carriage and sitting down, Geng Xingshuang first told Li Deng who was driving the carriage, "Go to Chaoxing Street", and then gave Geng Xingchen a reassurance, who was still a little worried.

"Since my uncle has agreed, he will definitely save him. Unless there are some force majeure reasons, there should be an answer after lunch."

Geng Xingchen was happy at first, but after thinking about it, she felt a little embarrassed. She glanced at Geng Xingshuang and asked tentatively, "Fifth Sister, please ask Uncle Ruan to make a deed with Xianglan for Ban Juan. After the deed is changed, will you Can you let the half volume go back to the mansion?"

"Of course not."

I finally got to the key point. Although Geng Xingshuang was not so worried about letting Xia know that he bought her maid back at the original price, after all, this matter can be concealed for a while, but it is difficult to hide it for a long time. .

But she still wants to hide it for a while now, at least until the things she is busy with now get on the right track.

Therefore, Banjuan will not appear in Fuchu for the time being, so it is best not to go back to Xianglan who is in the same situation as Banjuan.

"Fifth sister, do you want to keep the half-juan in Uncle Ruan's house? Can you also let Pandan and the half-juan be together? Don't worry, I will give you the money to redeem her and the deed of turning around." I will pay back the money I need slowly.”

The carriage was driving "da da". After Geng Xingchen finished speaking, he did not hear Geng Xingshuang's answer, only the noisy and noisy sounds outside the carriage. Geng Xingchen was a little confused and felt that his request was too much. Fifth Sister was required to pay in advance, and she was required to take in Xianglan first. Besides, the person who was taking in temporarily was not Fifth Sister herself, but her uncle's family.

"if……"

"Sixth sister, you didn't ask me why I didn't save Shen Shui?"

Geng Xingchen was silent for a while, and said: "I don't have any money, and Fifth Sister, you don't think you have much money. In fact, if you didn't hear what you said to Uncle Ruan just now, you would know that grandma called Yu Yamao to sell them. The price, the place to go is definitely not good, and I don't need to redeem Xianglan. In our house... Xianglan follows me to do needlework day and night. It’s not bad to get a few hundred Wen or even one or two taels of monthly money.”

She sighed and said in a low tone, "It's just that I didn't expect grandma...the family is short of money, but...but it's not enough... As for Shen Shui, there are three older sisters, the uncle, the second uncle, and the father, who is also the second uncle. She is still an official, the third sister is also loved by the second aunt, she is richer than us, and Shen Shui has always been loyal to her, fifth sister, we don't have to be dogs and rats to meddle in other's business!"

"You are the dog!"

Geng Xingshuang glared at her angrily, Geng Xingchen felt that he had made a slip of the tongue, and repeatedly begged for mercy.

The two sisters talked together and walked together. Half an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of a two-story building.

"Fifth sister, isn't this your shop?"

Geng Xingshuang nodded, "Come on, let's go in and have a look."

Geng Xingchen subconsciously followed Geng Xingshuang to walk in. Inside was a long and short room. Near the back door was a wooden staircase spiraling up. The shape was ingenious and unique. It is a variety of small and exquisite wooden frames, like a separate treasure shelf.

There is also a small courtyard behind the small building. There are three main rooms in the small courtyard, and two side rooms on each side. There is an osmanthus tree and a well in the courtyard.

The more Geng Xingchen watched, the more surprised she became. She opened her mouth several times to speak, but because Geng Xingshuang took her to watch more scenes, she had to stop temporarily, and focused on looking at the various furnishings in this shop and some of her A novelty that has never been seen before.

After reading upstairs and downstairs, Geng Xingchen finally made a sound.

"Fifth sister, don't tell me, this is the shop you rented."

She asked an almost soulful question.

"Well, the rent is 260 taels a year. Do you think this street is not prosperous enough, or is this shop too small?"

Without waiting for Geng Xingchen to express his opinion, Geng Xingshuang continued to explain: "Don't look at this Chaoxing Street, which is not as prosperous as Changning Street, Qingyu Street, and Xuanlang Street, but there are not many people."

Geng Xingshuang pulled Geng Xingchen to the door, pointed to the shops on both sides of the street and introduced: "Look at this street, there are sellers of gold, silver and jade, jewelry, good restaurants, carriage shops and inns, look , there is also a medical clinic over there. As the saying goes, although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs, and there are several large residential areas near Chaoxing Street, such as Shuangfu Hutong, Jinyue Hutong, Guixiang Hutong, and Xinghua Lane. All of them are wealthy households, or at least small wealthy ones, I have inspected them in advance, the business should not be too bad, and at worst, they can pay back their capital."

After Geng Xingshuang's brief introduction, she waited for Geng Xingchen to give her some advice, but she waited for a while, but she didn't wait for Geng Xingchen to speak. She was a little puzzled. Could it be that the sixth sister felt that her shop was really bad, and she had nothing to say? explain?
That can't work, she still counts on her to help herself.

Geng Xingshuang was about to praise the shop from other angles, when he heard Geng Xingchen's sly voice.

"Fifth sister, you... are really rich!"

The rent is 260 taels a year, and the rent of their uncle’s house is 20 taels of silver for each house to be handed over to the grandmother in January. It must also be said that grandma asked for the money too badly.

The eldest house has the least number of people, and it is also the one that suffers the most. She remembers that two years ago, when the grandmother begged for the dowry of the three daughters-in-law overtly and secretly, the eldest house and the third house joined forces to fight, and won the result that each house has its own money. At that time, whether it was the eldest family or their third family, they could only be regarded as the next best thing.

They did not strive for the equal treatment they deserved in this family.

Obviously, the first and third families used to be the same, and everyone was cash-strapped. Even if the dowry of the eldest aunt and her mother was kept, but in the past two years, they have gone a lot, and I don't know how long they can hold on.

Recently, she had heard her father and mother secretly talking about money shortages, and they bickered from time to time.

But when did Fifth Sister become so rich?And opening a shop is not only the rent of 260 taels, but also the various decorations inside, as well as the clothes, shoes and wages of the men, embroiderers, and tailors that need to be put on the shelves later. Before the business is on the right track , all need to be paid in advance.

"Part of the money was given by the second brother, and part of it was paid by Yan Jieer, and the rest was paid by me."

Geng Xingchen felt that Fifth Sister seemed to be hiding something, but she didn't have time to delve into it, and her heart and eyes were full of this second-floor shop. Fifth Sister is too powerful, um...she is so envious!
