Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1248 Threesome

"You guys are talking about being lively, why did you forget about me?" Tianyou said with a faint smile while holding a teacup.

When Jiao Wen and Gu Xian heard the words, they all silenced, and they all looked at Tianyou, with doubts on their faces, wondering why he took the initiative to mention this.

We have been friends since we were in Qingyuan, and in the past half a year, we often hang out together, and we know each other's temperament and temperament.

Tianyou seems to be amiable, but in fact he is the most picky person.

"I appreciate Cheng Yi's kindness, but I am new to business, so there is no reason to borrow money." Gu Xian said seriously.

He naturally knew that the Cao family was powerful, and as the heir of the Cao family, it was only a matter of words for Tianyou to want to support him.

Gu Xian couldn't accept this favor.

Since he has already decided to settle down in the capital, if he encounters difficulties in the future, he will inevitably seek help from his classmates and friends; but now that the business has not yet been established, and he has money in his hands, he still needs to be self-reliant when it is time to be self-reliant, otherwise he will also make him miserable. People get bored.

Tianyou put down the teacup, and said with a smile: "Who said I would lend you money? I have a certain amount of money every month, and the total amount is only so small. I usually feel very cramped when I want to spend it. Thinking about it You do business, buy a share, and wait to take advantage of your light to enjoy some dividends. You can't be thick-skinned and wipe out my dividends under the banner of borrowing."

Gu Xian listened, looked at Tianyou, opened his mouth, and said for a while: "Chengyi is the young master of the Earl's Mansion, and he still lacks envoys? Could it be coaxing us?"

Tianyou glanced at him, and said: "No matter what your status is, you must have food, clothing, housing, transportation, and human relations. It was okay in the early years, and it all depended on the family; now that I am getting older, I also have my own social activities. For example, I want to invite two If I want to go to a decent place to see a friend, I can’t afford the monthly money for a few months. Do I have to go to my parents and ask for money?”

He spoke eloquently, but Gu Xian and Jiao Wen still had doubts on their faces.

Seeing this, Tianyou couldn't help laughing, and said: "It's just a small shareholding business, so it's worth the two of you being surprised? If the people in the capital rely on the imperial grain, salary and silver, then everyone will probably go to the northwest wind."

Speaking of this, he paused, looked Gu Xian up and down, and said: "Don't talk about anything else, just say that the shoes you are wearing on your feet are from the "Neiliansheng" at the front door, and the hat on your head, Is it 'Qingxifu'?"

From the point of view of business and clothing, Gu Xian couldn't turn the corner, looked down at himself, and said: "It is true that the shoes and hats of 'Neiliansheng' and 'Qingxifu' are genuine products, but there is nothing wrong with it." ?”

Tianyou shook his head and said: "There is nothing wrong with it, I just want to tell you that 'Neiliansheng' is the property owned by my little aunt, and 'Qingxifu' is the property owned by my third aunt. They are not businessmen, but It’s just to make some rouge money.”

These two shops, one for official boots and cloth shoes, and the other for hats, have both gained word of mouth in the capital.

"I really didn't expect that." Gu Xian's eyes lit up, and he was puzzled.

He lived in Cao's Guest House for half a year, so of course he knew who the "Little Aunt" and "Third Aunt" in Tianyou's mouth were.

The former is a girl in the boudoir, and the latter is the wife of the Duke.

Even they are living behind the scenes, running a few shops, under Cao Yong's ears and eyes, it's nothing to say those words...

With the elders in front, it is not surprising that Tianyou, the eldest son of the uncle's family, wants to buy and sell shares and earn some pocket money.

Gu Xian only thought that Tianyou wanted to take out a hundred taels of silver on a whim, and participate in it at will, but he didn't expect that Tianyou already had a plan in mind.

I heard Tianyou said: "The business in the capital is not so easy to get involved in. No matter what industry, it is difficult to get involved. Who knows which company is behind the prince Baylor's mansion. Unless it is a small shop with low profits, others will look down on it; otherwise Even if you make money, it’s hard to guarantee that it won’t be snatched away by others. I have an idea here, if everyone thinks it’s feasible, you can discuss it.”

It turned out that under the influence of his father, Tianyou has always been concerned about farming.

His suggestion is to open a vegetable shop.

With a population of one million in the capital, where is the lack of a vegetable market?
The "vegetable shop" he refers to mainly sells green vegetables cultivated in greenhouses. In places where restaurants gather like Qianmen, Drum Tower, and Dongsi Pailou, two small shops are selected, and a small village is set up from Tongzhou or near the Fangshan River.

Zhuangzi does not need to be big, just a hundred or so acres of land, and then build a greenhouse with wood and glass to grow vegetables.

Although many dignitaries in the capital have Zhuangzi outside the city, those who pay attention to the appetite of the stomach also make people build greenhouses; but many new officials, merchants stranded in the capital, and scholars preparing for exams, although they have money in their pockets, they are no land.

This vegetable shop is prepared for these people and restaurants.

In winter and spring, vegetables from the greenhouse are sold; in summer and autumn, vegetables can also be transported from the south to the north by water.Although the price of vegetables would not be cheap, it is not afraid that there will be no buyers in the capital.

The capital is comfortable and comfortable, whether it is the children of the Eight Banners in the inner city or the Han people in the south of the city, those with a wealthier family background pay more attention to appetite.

Hearing these words, Gu Xian was fascinated. After he woke up, he shook his head resolutely and said: "It is undeniable that Cheng Yi's whimsical ideas are indeed exciting; but how can I take advantage of them?" You are so cheap? It doesn’t matter if you want to buy a shop, buy land and fix a greenhouse, if Cheng Yi has the heart to do it, whether it is telling the elders or ordering the servants, it will not be difficult. I’d better find another way.”

Tianyou couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and said, "Mother-in-law, is it really ink marks? No matter how I do in the Imperial Academy exam next month, there are so many family affairs that I need to shoulder, how can I put my mind on it? If I just order my servants to do it, they don't care about it." You don't have any brains, who knows what kind of ambiguity will come out. Besides, if it is really at home to take care of this matter, it is a public property, and if I want to pick up money and pocket money, it will not be cheap."

Gu Xian was still talking, but Jiao Wen stopped him: "Since it's Cheng Yi's kind intention, you should just accept it. Cheng Yi doesn't care about business, so why bother with that?"

Tianyou also said: "That's the reason. You are usually straightforward, but pushing and pulling like this makes you look ugly and petty."

Although Gu Xian was a little embarrassed, he could only nod in response when he heard what was being said.

In addition to buying the house and the expenses of these two months, he still has more than 200 taels of silver in his hand.In addition to leaving 2000 taels of silver with him, Gu Xian planned to use the remaining [-] taels of silver as capital.

After hearing this, Tianyou said, "Since that's the case, I'll also invest 2000 taels of silver. Because I have to work harder for you, I will only take a small share of the shares."

Gu Xian quickly shook his head and said: "No, no, whether it's buying a shop, buying land or repairing a greenhouse, I'm afraid there will be a lot of benefits, so I should take the lead."

How could Tianyou agree to answer? He originally thought of this incident because he was helping his classmates to start their careers;

That's what God doesn't want.

There is so much money in the world, how can one person earn it all?
The gold and silver saved by the Cao family can already support generations of people to spend money, and there is no need for everyone to think of ways to earn money.

In recent years, although the Cao family has bought houses and land, most of them were gifts from Cao Yong and his wife to the younger generation; the number of houses and shops on the surface has not increased at all.

The shares were shared, and the two couldn't stand it. In the end, Jiao Wen couldn't stand it, and proposed June Fourth, Guxian Six, and God Bless Four.

Gu Xian still shook his head and said: "There is no such reason."

After giving up twice, seeing that Tianyou really refused to accept it, Gu Xian said: "If this business can really make money, it all depends on Chengyi's whimsical ideas. Since Chengyi doesn't want the [-]% of the shares, I can't take it under the skin... …" Having said that, she paused, and looked at Jiao Wen who was sitting next to her.

Jiao Wen slightly shook his head, his expression was solemn, his eyes determined...

Gu Xian swallowed and swallowed the words about leaving the [-]% shares to Jiao Wen...

Outside the capital, Huangcun Station.

In the afternoon, Cao Yong and his party set off again after resting at the post station.

More than a dozen palace guards lined up on both sides of Seventeenth Prince's carriage.

Inside the carriage, Cao Yong straightened his waist, only feeling sore and limp from sitting.He wanted to go out to ride a horse, but was left behind by Brother Seventeen.

Opposite him, Sun Zhu with a beard was sitting, and Elder Seventeen was sitting on the front seat in the carriage.

There is really no way, in order for Sun Zhu to arrive in Tianjin safely, Cao Yong and Seventeen Brothers can't let Master Sun feel uncomfortable due to the bumpy road.

Therefore, the seventeenth elder brother sacrificed his own county king's chariot.

No matter how good Sun Zhu was in the court, he always called himself a "slave" in front of Seventeenth Brother.

Since he is the king of the county, if he stays there for a long time, the censor can charge him with "regardless of dignity".

Even if Elder Seventeen wanted to let him go, he wouldn't dare to sit alone, otherwise the censor would not know how to use it to make trouble.

Elder Seventeen had no other choice but to get off the horse and change to a carriage, and invited Sun Zhu to get on.

This time, he didn't leave Cao Yong behind either. He sent people over and invited Cao Yong to go with him.

Seeing Cao Yong getting on the chariot, he gave Cao Yong a smile.

When Cao Yong saw this, he knew in his heart that Elder Seventeen couldn't see him being idle, so he pulled him to sit with him. He felt a little bit complaining in his heart, but he was still respectful and polite on his face, and greeted the two people in the car.

Three big men are in a carriage, and there is really no joy to be born.

Even if Elder Seventeen stirs up the atmosphere, Sun Zhu is getting older, and he is a little tired and weak, but there are only two "um" and "ah", and most of the time he squinted his eyes, just sitting and resting.

The seventeenth elder brother was angry, his face turned black and red for a while, Cao Yong watched from the side, but couldn't help it, he hurriedly lowered his head, and there was already a smile on his face.

Brother Seventeen raised his eyebrows when he saw this, and before he could speak, he heard snoring gradually, and Mr. Sun Zhu had already fallen asleep...

During the few days' trip, Brother Seventeen invited Sun Zhu to get on the carriage, and then he pulled Cao Yong together to talk about ancient things with the old man.

Two days later, Tianjin Wei arrived.

Under the "protection" of Elder Seventeen, Mr. Sun Zhu was dressed in first-grade supplementary clothes, and when he appeared in front of everyone, his spirits trembled and his glory glowed...
