reborn child bride

Chapter 173 Consummation (1) ([-])
Now, in February, the 3000 taels of silver handed over by the shop and Zhuangzi last year have almost been spent.There are still ten months before this year's account and money will be handed over.Only Baoyuezhai's silver is settled every month.But earning a few hundred taels is not enough to invest in purchases.Shen Ji hopes to make this business bigger.As a last resort, I took out the 2000 taels of silver at the bottom of the press box and used it.

Of the 2 taels of silver, half of them became real objects. I bought the house I live in now, and purchased the dowry and bride price, all of which cannot be realized.But the other half is also spent too fast.Living in the capital is not easy!When Shen Ji first married half a year ago, he still felt that he had suddenly stepped into the ranks of the rich.At this moment, if you gather your hands together, there is only about three thousand taels of silver in total.Therefore, although the accounts were checked in January, the three shops earned 800 taels, but they still felt that it was not enough.

Moreover, both Bao Yue Zhai and Han Mo Xuan, a calligraphy and painting shop, made a lot of money because of the Chinese New Year.The word of mouth of Baoyue Zhai has gradually built up. Many people bought a lot of things to give gifts during the Chinese New Year. Thanks to the big shopkeeper hired by the second wife, Hanmoxuan bought a lot of famous calligraphy and paintings, and Shen Ji bought them from Hanlin. I saw a lot of ink treasures sold on behalf of others, and they also made a fortune by taking advantage of the spring breeze of the Chinese New Year.Only the grain shop, the business has always been the same, but this business has been in business for many years, and it started when Wei Ying was still in the hands of Grandpa Wei, and there are many old customers.There is still a profit of more than 100 taels per month.Moreover, the new shopkeeper also managed to send people to various places to broaden the purchase channels, and this is really a long-term business, so Shen Ji intends to keep it.Even if the profit is not high, but the risk is not great, there must be such a shop to be at ease.Baoyuezhai has high profits and high risks.And whether Hanmoxuan can receive good calligraphy and paintings, there is also chance.

Well, the intention of this next embroidery shop is to find a Shen San thing for Aunt Wei to do, and she really cares about it, and now she has to place her hopes on making money.As for the relative who gave the gold earrings, Geng Bin, I heard that his wife had passed away, but it was a pity that he himself followed others to betray and sell furs, and he had been there for several years.Therefore, Shen Ji didn't mention it to Aunt Wei at all.

Wei Ying came out of the wash, saw that Shen Ji was still frowning, and asked, "Still sad about the Lin family?" Xiao Ji has never had a mother, and Auntie treated her just passably, maybe she really wanted such a mother. .

"That's not the case. I'm thinking that our income is not too low. Why are we still spending money like water. It's impossible to make ends meet."

Since Wei Ying handed over the account book to Shen Ji, she hadn't asked much about it. Hearing what she said, she asked, "How much money do you have left?"

"The cash on hand is only around 5000 taels. You see, I made a list, and the unexpected expenses last year were as high as 1000 taels. I really don't know." 2000 taels are used for up and down activities to find someone in front of the seventh prince. Excuse them for bankruptcy and disaster relief; 800 taels are used to buy Yangzhou skinny horses, which is also bankruptcy and disaster relief; more than 1000 taels of foreign bodyguards accompany them as escorts; another 3000 taels are left in the old house to buy houses for relatives with three bedrooms who are not far or near .In addition to this, of course there are more than [-] taels invested in Kaibao Yuezhai, and several hundred taels are prepared for the embroidery workshop.

Wei Ying was obviously also a little surprised, "It took so much, and with the regular expenses, wouldn't it cost tens of thousands of taels. This is not counted as what we used for our marriage."

He and Shen sent you to look at me and I to look at you. In the past, they lived in the countryside with only 20 taels of silver for a year, but this year they spent all 1 taels of silver.

"Brother Wei, is there any good thing that can bring you quick money?"

"No, unless it's..."

"What is it, Tanmo doesn't need to say."

"smuggling."

"Forget it, the risk is too high, we can't afford it. Now we can be regarded as being targeted by the Seventh Prince, and it's too late to hide our strength and bide our time. Look, I'll ask a few shops to pay money once a quarter, okay? This year Let's be on the safe side and manage these four shops well, and we can eat as much as we can. I estimate that if it goes well, there will be 8000 taels a year. This will reduce the big investment of opening a store. Then it will cost thousands of taels of silver Accidents like this should not happen every year, so we should be more careful when we go in and out in the future."

Wei Ying thought about it for the same reason. If these two expenses were subtracted, it would be 8000 taels.

"As for the account, you can make up your mind."

Shen Ji then sent a message to those two shops, Baoyue Zhai's account was paid in January, and the two shops were paid in March.Also, don't overstock.Next, she concentrated on preparing for the embroidery workshop.This time, there is no Xu Wu to help, and if she gradually alienates Mrs. Lin, that circle will close the only open window for her.Her social group was only the wives of Wei Ying's colleagues, and the imperial merchant's family members like Mrs. Rong Qi.

On the day when the Sanxiufang opened in March, the number of people who came to support it was not as good as it was at Baoyue Zhai five months ago.Although the Liu family still invested in the stock with the shop, the relationship between Shen Ji and the Lin family inevitably weakened.You only need to see that she didn't attend the small party to add makeup to Xu Wu, everything is very self-explanatory.

But fortunately, Young Mistress Rong Qi brought a lot of guests for her, and she felt ashamed for playing with Shen Ji that day, which caused her to meet the young master.Moreover, Shen Jiwei lost nearly 3000 taels of silver in the past, and also lost close contact with Lin Shilang's residence.She talked with Ye Rongqi in private, and she also felt very lucky that the matter ended like this.The two of them didn't tell about the fact that Shen Ji kicked the little Hou's grandson Sun Gen.Others only said that Shen Ji still suffered a little bit.She can't argue with this, she can't just tell people that I didn't suffer, but he suffered from me.If this is said, can Lord Zhen Guo and Mrs. Hou be able to get around her?

And Liu asked someone to tell her that her identity was inconvenient to show her face, so she didn't attend.Mrs. Lin just sent someone to send a gift.

This time the scene was not as good as before, and Shen Ji only entertained Young Mistress Rong Qi and several Hanlin wives in the inner room.The matter of Zhen Guohou and Xiaohou Ye is currently only known to the honorable class, so it has not been spread among the female family members of the lower-level officials.But they also noticed that Shen Ji was not as good as he was when he opened Baoyue Zhai five months ago, and there were no high-status people to support him.Even recently, Baoyuezhai Hanmoxuan's business has declined a lot.

Shen Ji returned home early, still a little disappointed.Seeing her appearance, Gu's mother hesitated to speak.The relationship between Shen Ji and Mrs. Lin has faded, she naturally knows it.However, her contract of sale has been transferred to Shen Ji's hands, and she has a lot of power in the Wei mansion, and flatterers are indispensable wherever she goes.As the saying goes, it is better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail.Therefore, she still wholeheartedly hopes that Shen Ji will be well.Wan Cui agrees with her, and it is very difficult for the two of them to have a chance to stand out by Mrs. Lin's side.

Mother Gu persuaded: "Grandma, do you want to make the sweet and sour fish that Grandpa ordered yesterday?"
