Sir, I just want to be a salted fish

Chapter 69 Crying
After hearing what her eldest daughter said, Ms. Liu was quite surprised that her eldest daughter actually had a business acumen. These two choices seemed to suffer some losses at the moment, but they could be settled once and for all, without hurting the relationship between relatives, and preventing anyone from coming to her door again in the future. Ask for prescriptions.

However, Mrs. Liu was still very angry when she thought of the second wife's attempt to put her daughter on the elders' terms and ask for prescriptions in vain.

Over the years, although the second bedroom has spent the least among the other bedrooms, it has received the most subsidies from the public servant. It’s just that the second bedroom is ungrateful and has the audacity to go to the niece’s yard to ask for prescriptions for free. It’s really a big deception.

So after that, some people from the second house were welcomed and sent away, and the public no longer subsidized them. When they went to the accountant to pay money, they had to make it clear where they came from. Mrs. Liu no longer turned a blind eye.

The second lady Zhang didn't know whether she felt that both of Tang Bingxuan's plans were unacceptable, or she was frightened by Liu's anger. From then on, she never mentioned Fang Zi opening a shop, just like that day when she came to Zhaoxia Court to ask for Fang Zi. Dreams are still the same after waking up.

In late September, Tang Wenyun passed the Qiuwei examination and passed the imperial examination. Everyone in the Rongguo Duke's palace was overjoyed, especially the second wife. The second wife, Zhang, had been quiet for a long time before she started to think again.

Thinking that she had been suppressed by her sister-in-law Mrs. Liu in the house for the past month and did not dare to say a word, the second wife Mrs. Zhang felt itchy with hatred.

This time she did not go to her eldest niece directly, but went to the Dowager Madam and cried, "Mom, the second master's official position is not high and his salary is not much, and the daughter-in-law's dowry is far less generous than that of the eldest sister-in-law and younger siblings;

Now that Yoona has passed the exam and her close friends are welcoming guests, Qing'er has also reached the age where she has to dress up well and go out to banquets to meet guests;

The daughter-in-law was short of money and really worried and didn't know what to do, so she came to bother her mother. "

Mrs. Shao also knew her own family affairs, and her second son was a scholar who only read books from sages. Neither husband nor wife were good at running shops and farms. The second family did not have much income on weekdays. For more than ten years, they had been subsidized by the public servant.

Mrs. Tai raised her head and saw the second daughter-in-law Zhang with snot and tears on her face. Her originally moved expression froze, "My father-in-law gives you a monthly subsidy for each house, and I also subsidize your house a lot on weekdays; besides, , in the future, when Yoona and Qinger get married, some of them will be involved, so it will be very difficult."

The second wife, Mrs. Zhang, also felt confident because her son had passed the Jie Yuan exam. Even the concubine had to help Tang Wenyun because of his excellent academic performance.

Wiping her face with a handkerchief, she didn't know whether it was tears or runny nose. The second wife Zhang sobbed and said: "Mom, the eldest brother is the Duke of the country, and the eldest sister-in-law comes from a century-old family. It is right that the eldest brother can't compare with our second brother, but we The second bedroom is actually not as rich as my brother-in-law’s third bedroom.”

In everyone's eyes, Mr. Tang San is a well-known dandy in Kyoto. He only eats and drinks on weekdays, and he spends a lot of money and never lacks money;
After all, the Second Master Tang was still a fifth-rank Hanlin Academy bachelor, but he was not even as good as his playboy third brother. The Second Madam complained about this, thinking that it was because the Dowager doted on Yao'er and subsidized her privately.

When the wife saw the second wife grabbing the third wife, her face became cold, and she said with a hint: "The third child doesn't know how to make money but only spends money. Who gives him a wife who can make money!"

The third lady, Xiao Shao, and Mr. Tang San have been childhood sweethearts since they were young. Ever since they decided that Mr. Tang would be their future husband, Xiao Shao had the same idea as Tang Bingxuan had before. Since her husband couldn’t make money, she could just do the work of making money. .

In the boudoir, other things that cultivate sentiments are learned only so-so, but investment and accounting are learned in a clear and logical way.

After getting married, women mostly stayed at home. The third wife, Xiao Xiao, did not open many shops of her own, but she made a lot of money by renting out shops to collect rents and earning dividends by investing in other people's shops.

The second wife, Mrs. Zhang, was hinted by the dowager that she was not as good at making money to support the family as her three younger siblings. She was so angry that she said nothing and looked embarrassed.

After all, it was her own son's family. Seeing that the second among the three sons was living in poverty, the wife felt heartbroken. The madam asked the second madam again as gently as possible, "Since you came to me to cry, what are your thoughts?"

The second wife thought that this time it would not only be embarrassing but also a failure. When the wife asked about it, she quickly said: "My daughter-in-law wants to open a shop on East Street to supplement the family income."

The shops on East Street are not cheap. The wife thought she had to check them, and asked: "What business are you planning to do?"

When it comes to opening a shop and doing business, Ms. Zhang regained her confidence again, "My daughter-in-law wants to open a shop selling wine."

The wife thought that if she opened a wine shop, she would need a good winemaker, and the business would not be open in the short term unless the products she started selling were resold from others.

Not to mention the rent of the shop in the early stage, the purchase cost of wine is also quite high. The madam asked directly: "But you don't have enough money on hand?"

When the second wife, Madam Zhang, saw that Mrs. Tai didn't ask for the recipe for making wine, but directly asked for money, she said respectfully, "Yes, my daughter-in-law doesn't have much money to open a shop."

Seeing that the second daughter-in-law was serious about opening a shop to earn money to support the family, the wife told the second lady in detail how to open a shop, whether the location of the shop was appropriate, how much the rent would be, how much the finished wine would be sold at, and how much profit would be made. Said.

The wife thought of her second son and Tang Wenyun, so she planned to provide more subsidies for the second room. "I also have several shops on East Street. I can free up one for you to open a wine shop. This will save the rent."

The Second Madam couldn't help but be overjoyed when she saw such a good thing, and happily thanked the Madam. Even if the wine shop didn't open well, she still had a shop for free.

Not only did the wife give the shop space, but she also gave the second lady two thousand taels of silver to purchase the goods. She really took care of everything. As long as the second lady runs the wine shop well, she can make an income every month.

Two thousand taels can't buy Tang Bingxuan's wine-making recipe, but the second lady has already thought of buying finished wine to sell. The money is enough, so there is no need to worry about spending money to buy a wife.

The eighth day of October was a good day. On this day, Qiao Waner, the eldest daughter of Duke Cheng's mansion, got married.

The day before, one hundred and eight dowry carriers arrived one after another from the Qiao family in the Chengguo Duke's mansion to the Qiu family in the Ministry of official affairs, filling half of Kyoto with great excitement.

Today, the eldest son of the Shangshu Mansion, Qiu Chen, was wearing red clothes and riding a tall horse, walking on the streets of Kyoto. He happily marched towards the Chengguo Mansion to marry his new wife, and from time to time he thanked the people who were watching and sending blessings.

The wedding between the two families was a lively and grand event, which was talked about by all the guests who came to watch the ceremony.

Qiao Waner was Jiang Shunian's cousin, and the Rongguo Palace and Yongninghou Palace were related by marriage. Therefore, before Qiao Waner got married, Tang Bingxuan went to the Chengguo Palace to add makeup to Qiao Waner with the Duke's wife Liu.
