Chapter 208
Sister Xi's mother-in-law had explained it before she left the house, and now Wan'er asked, she replied: "My mother-in-law said that if sister Wan agrees, she will use the name of our house to buy shares, and the future profits will be given to us. As for To buy shares, if Wanmei wants money, it’s okay, but our family has a shop on Libei Avenue in the county town near the city gate. It was rented out at the end of last year. It just expired at the end of last year, so we haven’t leased it yet. Please have time to meet Wanmei. I'll take a look together, and if I think it's good, I'll use this shop to buy shares."

Back then, after Ning Wan established a foothold in the Zhao family and became the legitimate Second Young Mistress, the first shop Mrs. Zhao handed over to her was this North Avenue storefront near the gate of the city!I rented it out to someone else as an inn, and because it is right next to the north gate, the business is pretty good, but there is one downside, the inn is full of guests from all over the world, so it is inevitable that there will be mixed good and bad, and women who deal in skin and meat often come to the door Soliciting business, so things will happen from time to time. Although the Zhao family is a classic historian and is not afraid of lawsuits, Mrs. Zhao finds it troublesome in the end, so she asks her to try it out and change the business.

When Ning Wan took over the shop, she spent a lot of thought, and finally decided to do fur business.The hides are tanned in the large yard at the back, and the furs are sold to merchants from other places in the front shop. You must know that the furs in Liaodong are very cheap and easy to collect. The price of the finished furs has doubled after changing hands!

It was the first shop that did well, so Mrs. Zhao gave her the second shop, and later handed over all the Zhao family's business outside to her, and she enjoyed her own happiness.

Now that the shop was going around, and the shop was going back to her, Ning Wan decided in an instant to do the fur business, after all, the shop was very suitable for fur business both in terms of location and layout—she Originally, I was hesitating whether to choose fur business or another one.

Probably, I learned a lot of how I deal with people from Mrs. Zhao, so Ning Wan already felt that it was very suitable to partner with the Zhao family at this time. I don't have to worry about it myself, there is only one thing, "Can Mrs. Zhao say how many shares she wants?"

Sister Xi smiled and said: "My mother-in-law said that since this shop is for us, let me discuss it with Wanmei. Half of the family is fine, and there are more Wanmei. Anyway, I will listen to Wanmei!"

It seems that Mrs. Zhao is still worried about Sister Xi, so she wants to partner with her, so that she can earn money and help her learn how to do business. This is really Mrs. Zhao's style of doing things.Even if I look at Sister Xi's face, I can't lose the Zhao family, and Sister Xi will benefit somewhat by doing business with me.The most important thing is that I know that Mrs. Zhao is plotting against me, but I will still agree!
Sure enough, Ning Wan nodded with a smile, "Okay, let's just take half of the family, but I'm the one to decide on business matters!"

"Of course!" Sister Xi was very happy, "I'll just follow along and get the bonus!"

Ning Wan pretended to ask which shop it was, then nodded and said, "I know where it is, and if it is resold, it can always be sold for 500 taels. Now I will take 500 taels as capital, how about it?"

"I already listened to you!" Sister Xi laughed, "My mother-in-law also said that it can be worth 500 taels, but I think you said 400 taels and I nodded too!"

Seeing that Sister Xi was in high spirits, Ning Wan originally wanted to tell her to be scheming and not to act like a servant passing on a message, but there are so many people at the moment, it is not an opportunity, so she smiled and asked her family members: "Those who are willing to buy shares go home and discuss." Discuss, wait for the money to be sent to me after the fifth day of the lunar new year, and then wait for the dividends at the end of the year!"

The aunt has always been in charge at home, and she is also in charge of Wanji's accounts. Now, without waiting to discuss it at home, she said to her niece and daughter, "I'll take 30 taels of silver!"

Ning Wan laughed, "Auntie, Wanji really makes money!" When my aunt and elder sister went out to open Wanji from Dejufeng, the capital was not enough, and it took only a few months to get it easily. 30 taels of silver are paid out!After counting, Wanji has bought a lot of kitchen utensils, and has dozens of bags of flour, hundreds of jars of wine, and various meat and vegetables. The money he earns is not a small amount!

The aunt just laughed, "Didn't you say that the cost of catering business is small, and the money will be returned quickly? It's really good!"

The eldest sister and the eldest brother-in-law got together and muttered together for a while, and then they also came over, "Let's take 20 taels."

But the parents waved Ning Wan over, "Wan'er, how much do you think we should take?"

Years ago, the shop had just received dividends, and Ning Wan knew that her parents had 300 taels of silver, but one was useful for daily use, and the other was that they needed some cash for business, so she gave them some advice, "You guys Just take 100 taels. I will ask my family members to invest in other businesses in the future.”

After the shares were fixed, Ning Wan told everyone, "After the fifth day of the lunar new year, my cousin and I went to the shop to have a look, and found a craftsman to renovate it. We will sign a contract when the yamen is on duty."

The aunt said: "We are all one family, why do we need to make a contract? I heard that we have to pay taxes to the yamen."

Ning Wan smiled and told her, "The deed must be up front, so that there will be no disputes. Besides, there are sister Xi's shares in the shop, so paying taxes is only the lowest."

After all, the Zhao family is in charge of this matter, and of course it is convenient for their own family to handle affairs, so they have already taken advantage of the business before it even started.Everyone was very happy to hear it, and they had a lively day before they left.

After the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Lu Tieshi will take his wife back to Hutai County. Since Commander Lu wants to come over to see the repair of the city wall in Hutai County, he naturally needs to prepare earlier.It just so happened that Ning Wan was also going to the county town to open a fur shop.

Both son and daughter-in-law are busy with business, so Mrs. Wu nodded, "Go back, you don't have to come back to see me every now and then."

Ning Wan persuaded again: "Mother-in-law, how about you going to live in the county with us? It's convenient for Tieshi and I to honor you when we talk to my mother and the others on weekdays."

"No, no, no," the mother-in-law would be stubborn as soon as she talked about leaving the old house, "I live here well, and I don't like the county town either, it's too lively for me."

Ning Wan actually knew that she couldn't be persuaded, but as a daughter-in-law, it would be inappropriate not to persuade her, so she turned her head and said to Aunt Wu: "Now there are two people in the family, Mrs. Bi cooks, and Mrs. Lin does chores. Aunt Wu just stays with her mother-in-law, and if there is anything wrong, ask Uncle Wu to tell us in Hutai County."

Aunt Wu nodded, "I see."

At this time, Mrs. Lin brought hot wine from the kitchen and put it in front of her mother-in-law. Then she took a Suhexiang pill from under the kang table and put it in it, and gave it to her mother-in-law to drink. She said, "Go and find Mrs. Bi, I have something to tell you."

When Aunt Bi arrived, Ning Wan said: "Aunt Wu is a relative of the family and has always helped in my family. We also trust her. From now on, you all listen to Aunt Wu. As long as you take good care of your mother-in-law, I will reward you." you."

It turned out that Ning Wan went back to do business this time, so she might not be able to visit her mother-in-law every now and then as before, so she settled the family affairs in advance.The two newcomers were especially beaten because Aunt Wu was very weak like her mother-in-law, and because they had never used servants before, I was afraid that they would not be able to manage them for a while.

Mrs. Bi and Mrs. Lin both returned home during the Chinese New Year, and they only came back today, so they both quickly bowed and agreed, "Madam, just don't worry, we all know that it is very important to be able to work in Lu's family, which is generous and kind, and the work is easy. It's rare, even if it is to be able to work for a long time, I will serve the old lady well."

Ning Wan knew that Mrs. Bi is a knowledgeable person, and Mrs. Lin is honest, so she was really relieved, so she smiled and said, "As long as Mrs. Bi is good, I will not lose you." He took out a handful of zizi, and everyone rewarded them.

Going around in the Commander's Office, I got some small money. Since then, both the New Year's money for the junior and the reward money for the servants have been paid from here, and the money she had prepared earlier was saved.It was the ingot of gold that Tieshi gave her, and she used it as capital, and she was extremely generous.

It's not easy to tell others about these small things, but Ning Wan is very happy in her heart, and spends the money even more happily, after all, it's for nothing!
The young couple returned to Hutai County on the sixth day of the lunar new year, and they were busy with their own affairs during the day, but they must get together at noon and evening, and it was more interesting to talk about their own affairs.Because they were all busy, they only returned to the old house during the day of the Lantern Festival, and the mother-in-law refused to come and see the lanterns. In the end, the two of them just strolled around the county town at night.

Commander Lu Tongzhi really came to Hutai County, and he came on the [-]th day of the first lunar month. Because he was on a business trip, he stayed at the post station, but the young master Lu and his wife who accompanied him stayed at Zhao's house.

Mrs. Zhao just saw her daughter a few days ago, and now she knows that her daughter will be able to go home for a few days, how could she not be happy?Zhang Luo had a banquet and invited the leading figures in Hutai County to greet his in-laws.

Deputy Lu Qianhu and his wife are naturally one of the leading figures!
Since Ning Wan returned to Hutai County, she has been invited to the county government, Xu's family, Zhu's family and other places as guests. She has appeared many times among the upper-class wives in Hutai County, and has re-"familiarized" with everyone. Wake up, this time I went to Zhao's house, I was very familiar with the road, and I wore a new set of clothes - when my mother made her dowry clothes, I made a lot of them, but I haven't worn them yet, and I picked two new and clever jewelry to wear - Now there is no need to show one's wealth, one just chooses some good-looking ones according to one's age. She is the youngest among these ladies, so of course she has to dress up pretty.

When I arrived at Zhao's house, I met Mrs. Lu. This eldest sister in Ning Wan's dream is still a good-looking person, and she knows the hope that her mother places on her second younger sibling, so she will naturally get along well with her and smile. She took Ning Wan's hand and praised: "I haven't met before, and I heard my mother kept praising you. At that time, I still didn't believe it. I just felt that I was not bad. Why should a mother not think that she is better than her own daughter? I don’t think that Mrs. Lu is really like the azalea on the halfway up the mountain, it’s so beautiful that it’s really convincing.”

Ning Wan used to be praised by this aunt before, and often got many exquisite things from her, because she really thanked herself for being kind to her stupid brother, but now that her identity has changed, she is also very kind, so she laughed. Said: "Mrs. Lu compares me to Azalea, so I don't know what I can compare to Mrs. Lu! Who doesn't know that Mrs. Lu is the most beautiful woman in our Hutai County, and she used to play the role of a fairy when the city god was parading!"

After hearing this, everyone recalled the situation at that time, "That's right, how many people were popular with Mrs. Lu's appearance at that time, and no one has been able to compare since then!"

After Mrs. Lu, there is one who pretends to be a fairy, and that is Miss Ding San, who is also present now. It can be seen that the person who said this didn't take Ding San seriously at all, but she didn't want to offend Ning Wan, so she went He laughed and said, "If Mrs. Lu also plays the part, maybe she can compete with Mrs. Lu!"

But it's not easy to pretend to be a fairy. Ning Wan's family background at that time was impossible to compete with, so Mrs. Lu laughed, "That's just a false name, Mrs. Lu doesn't like those."
