Chapter 151 New ideas

"Mom, what are you doing?" Looking at Lin Sanlang who was vomited all over his face and was wiping vigorously with the wet kerchief handed over by Dahe, Su Jin had no choice but to stand up for him to block the questioning of his good old lady. "Our Ya'er is very good, but I can't stand you saying that. How can you ask such a question directly? It seems that our Ya'er can't get married."

These words are called standing up for Lin Sanlang, but they are actually telling Lin Sanlang that our Ya'er is not unmarried. If you want to marry, you have to hurry up. In addition, it puts pressure on Lin Sanlang. He can say " Yes, you can't ask like that? '?I can't just reply awkwardly because of this: "Well, I think Miss Liu is also very good, but we don't have much contact, so..."

"So what you mean is that you want to meet Ya'er, have more opportunities to get in touch, and have a chat, right?" Mrs. Liu answered politely, "It's easy to handle, wait for me to write a letter Give Jin'er her great aunt, and ask her to agree to Ya'er coming to live for a while." Saying that, she immediately got up and wanted to go back to write a letter.

Su Jin hurriedly stopped her, "Baili Village is two or three days away from Suzaku City, and it will take several days for the servants to deliver the letter there on horseback. Why don't you just ask the servants to drive the carriage and pick him up directly?" It saves Cousin Yi from looking for a carriage to deliver the carriage and having to go back and go back and forth too troublesome."

Mrs. Liu nodded, "That's the case, then I'll ask Guanshi Wen to send someone to pick up Ya'er immediately. Anyway, Sanlang, you also want to find a shop in Suzaku, so you stay at home and let Jin'er help you find it." Look, now she is very familiar with Suzaku City." After saying that, Su Jin greeted her, and she left in a hurry.

Lin Sanlang sat down to eat again after wiping his clothes. The bowls and chopsticks in front of him had been replaced with new ones. He took a piece of braised pork in his own bowl and chewed it very vigorously, as if what he was biting was the meat of Su Jin. , um, you must take two more bites, bite hard, so that this girl dares to plot against herself!

After dinner, Su Jin led Lin Sanlang around Zhucheng District first, because she knew Zhucheng District very well, but after walking around for a long time, there were no vacant houses for rent.Su Jin was about to lead him to other urban areas, but Lin Sanlang stood in front of the Su family's makeup shop, pointed to the shop and said, "I think this shop is good, the location is good, and the shop is big enough."

Su Jin took a look at her own makeup shop. This shop was not able to make ends meet when Ju's family was running it, and her family just bought a shop.After she took over, she checked the accounts and found that the shop should have been closed long ago. She couldn't figure out what business to do earlier, but now that she thought about it, Lin Sanlang couldn't be cheap.

"I have a use for this shop, don't even think about it."

Lin Sanlang shrugged his shoulders, with an expression of letting go if he couldn't do it, and at worst he would look elsewhere.The shopkeeper in the shop saw Su Jin standing outside, and hurriedly greeted him, "Why is the third girl here at this time? This is not the day for checking accounts!"

This guy was from the Ju family earlier, because the Ju family collapsed and the store was sold to the Su family by the government, so the shopkeeper followed.This man has a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, but his brain is very flexible, but he doesn't need to use it in business, but how to do things with the accounts, Su Jin has long since disliked him, if it is not that this makeup shop has no money to make, it would have been a long time ago resigned him.

"Why, I can't come without checking the accounts. Don't forget whose shop this is." Su Jin glanced at him angrily, turned around and was about to go inside.Seeing that Su Jin was annoyed, the shopkeeper was busy flattering him. Just now he heard the two of them talking about the shop, and he rolled his eyes and said, "Don't be angry, Miss San, did you just say you were looking for a shop? Coincidentally, The medicine store next door to us is going to change hands, the third girl can go and ask about it."

"Next door is a medicine shop?" Every time Su Jin came here, he always saw the shop with its door closed and no signboard on it. If he didn't say that he probably wouldn't find it in a few months, he looked up and saw Lin Sanlang very interested. He signaled him to continue talking.

"This was originally the property of the Ju family. Later, for some reason, it was rewarded by the wife of the Ju family to a maid beside her. When this maid came out of the house, she said that she was in poor health, and she passed away not long after. They are ordinary people, how can they know how to manage this medicinal material, no, they are planning to sell it."

It's probably something dirty about the big family, the maid must have known some secret about the wife of the Ju family, so she was sent out, this family didn't dare to make it public, and only sold it in private.But these have nothing to do with me, since there is a shop to sell, just ask Lin Sanlang. "Brother Sanlang, are you interested?"

Lin Sanlang touched his chin with a smile, "I'm very interested, so please ask the shopkeeper next door, if someone is here, please come over and discuss the price?" He couldn't be more interested in the medicinal material shop. If there is any remaining stock, he will collect it together and save it to buy again.

By the time Su Jin and Lin Sanlang returned home, one had already bought the shop, went to the government to go through the formalities and got the deed, and the other had already resigned the shopkeeper of the makeup shop and asked Wen Feng to come and buy it. out of stock.Xiao He was a quick talker, so she told Liu about it when she went back. Lin Sanlang and Liu couldn't care about it, but her daughter was going to close the shop at home, which was not a trivial matter.Immediately she asked her daughter to ask, but Su Jin said confidently: "The makeup shop has stopped making money for a long time, and it just occupies such a good shop for nothing. Why don't you close it and do other things?" trade."

"Then have you thought about what to do?" Mrs. Liu did not forget that her own daughter has great wisdom, and her contribution is the greatest for the reason why her family is able to have what it is today.

Su Jin kicked the shoe sockets onto the big kang by the window, and casually pulled a Wufu Linmen red embroidered pillow and leaned against her back, tilting her head and looking at the changing sky outside, "I haven't made up my mind yet, but I already have an idea. Mother, don't ask me, I will tell you when I think about it."

Every time she thought of a good idea, she had to hold back for a few days in the room. The Su family knew about this, so when she said this, Liu knew that her daughter had a new idea. He didn't bother her right away, and told the maids not to enter the house to disturb the third girl's cleanliness.

The wind and clouds outside are changing, the sky was clear just now, and now the sky has darkened, and then the clouds are thick, and a strong wind blows, and the big raindrops fall down with a crackling, hitting the little maid who is sweeping the floor outside, covering her head. Run around the house.It stands to reason that such a day of rain does not last long, but this time it rained for a whole afternoon, and it did not stop until dinner at night.

When Su Wenshan came back, his body was covered in raindrops. Although he was holding an umbrella, the wind was so strong that he couldn't hold it at all.Mrs. Liu helped him take off his coat, and Su Wenshan walked inside habitually, but was stopped by Mrs. Liu, "The third girl is thinking about something inside, don't go in yet."

"Thinking? What's the matter with her?" Su Wenshan asked with a smile while changing into a dry coat.

"What else can I do? Today I went to accompany Sanlang Lin to find a shop to open a medical clinic, but when I came back, my own makeup shop was closed, and Wen Feng was asked to clear the goods, so I asked After a few words, she said that she was trying to do something else, and the makeup shop doesn’t make money, so I thought that there is a good way to make money again, so let’s not bother her, just make her want to go.”

This is a good thing, Su Wenshan laughed and sat down on a chair beside him when he heard the words, the maid brought up the freshly made fried cake in the kitchen, he picked up a piece and took a bite, it was sweet, he prefers sweet, Apart from Liu's family, it is his spooky third daughter who knows this.Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing. He was very curious about the new money-making method his daughter said.

At night, Dahe came to look for her in person, and Wisteria took her in. Dahe smiled and saluted Su Wenshan and Liu Shi, "Ma'am, seeing that the third girl has not returned, even Xiaohe and Liuli are afraid." I didn’t go back, so I just wanted to ask, should I have dinner here or go back to Hibiscus Garden?”

"Is it time for dinner?" Mrs. Liu was watching Xiaoqiao'er playing, and she had already forgotten the time. She had just finished asking when Brother Shuo came in, "Mother, I'm hungry, why don't you have dinner yet? "

Even Su Wenshan touched his stomach, "Actually, I'm already hungry, I'll go and see Jin'er, even if earning money is important, you can't go hungry without eating!"

When Su Wenshan said that Mrs. Liu thought it was reasonable, he followed him in and called Jin'er. Brother Shuo followed them curiously when he saw them go in. Xiao Qiao just didn't like her mother not playing with him, so she followed him I went in to find someone, but the whole family went in and took a look, and their faces immediately became brighter.Su Wenshan laughed and pushed his sleepy daughter, "Jin'er, get up and eat."

Su Jin hurriedly sucked back the saliva that had reached the corner of her mouth, and sat up sleepily, "Father, why did you get up so early?"

Brother Shuo laughed and walked over to pull the braid hanging from her shoulder, "Sister, are you sleepy? You haven't had dinner yet, so you think you woke up early the next day?"

Holding Xiao Qiao'er in her arms, Liu looked at her daughter who often gave her headaches, and told Da He and Xiao He, "I don't wait for you girls to wash your face, and see how you sleep." Then she called Liu Li said, "Liu Li, you go and ask Mr. Lin to eat." After speaking, he hugged Xiao Qiao'er and went outside to play games. Brother Shuo was cleaned up by his third sister and followed his father out with grinning teeth.

Su Jin in the inner room was still blushing and heartbeating, and asked Da He brazenly, "How long have I been asleep? Why do I feel as if I fell asleep in my room? Alas, the beauty is easy to grow old, look at me memory."

The maids couldn't hold back, they all burst out laughing, Da He and Xiao He brought warm water to wipe her hands and face while laughing, and when she finished packing and went out, everyone was already sitting there waiting for her to come and have dinner up.

During the dinner, Su Wenshan asked: "Jin'er, have you come up with another way to make money? Tell Dad about it."

Su Jin chuckled, "It's nothing, but I remembered that if we usually want to send a letter to Qingshi Town or the capital, we would send someone there. When our family opened a steamed stuffed bun shop before, if we wanted to write a letter or something, we would send someone there. Those who have gone to other people's homes will be delivered, not to mention whether the letter will be lost, and it will take a long time to arrive, so if there is any urgent matter, it will be delayed? Moreover, although there is a post station, the post station is only for The government uses it to escort some letters for the imperial court. Even if they can send private letters to some officials, they can only send one or two letters. If there are too many, it is not allowed. But it only accepts large items, and even if it can help deliver letters, the charge is too high, so I wonder when there will be such a place that can quickly send out the letters that people want to send, and the charge is still cheap .”

After she said this, Su Wenshan said: "It would be very convenient if there is such a place, but this is not a trivial matter. If you want to do it, you must proceed with caution."

Lin Sanlang supported it, but put forward a few opinions of his own, "In my opinion, this is feasible, but if you want to do it, you must have a pass from the government, just like the Escort Bureau, because no matter whether you are sending a letter or walking an Escort They are all the same, they will be inspected by the government when they pass through the gate; secondly, they must have enough money; Send it everywhere."

Su Jin nodded, she understands all of this, but now she doesn't have enough money to cover all this, if she takes her time, she is afraid that others will find the business opportunity and take the lead, so she must have enough funds to support it just do.Thinking of this, she felt a little worried. Although the family had saved some money, it was just a drop in the bucket, not enough at all!

"Okay, don't think about that anymore, let's eat first." Seeing this, Mrs. Liu hurriedly told her to eat first, lest she would worry about being in a bad mood and stop eating.

Su Jin is not like that either, she understands clearly that this matter is different from those small troubles in the past, the money needs to be collected slowly, and when tomorrow comes, she will write a letter to her second sister and ask her servants to send it over quickly, I believe The second sister will definitely support her, and the Chu family also has money, Brother Chu will definitely see that this matter has great prospects, and it would be great if he is willing to partner with him.

After the meal, Lin Sanlang went back to the guest house, and Su Jin wanted to leave too, but was held back by Mrs. Liu, "Sit down and wait for mother, mother will come out as soon as you get that little thing." After saying that, he went into the back room and walked out of the room. Take out an account book, and open it in front of Su Jin and Su Wenshan to show them, "This is our family's account book, but it is different from the account book that records daily expenses, this one is dedicated to recording the income and expenditure of each shop. , Jin’er, take a look.”

Su Jin took it over and took a closer look. These accounts were all written down during the Chinese New Year, and they all showed the date.The family originally had about 4000 taels of silver. Last year, Su Ji, Melon Seed Workshop and Tofu Workshop in Suzaku City earned a total of 5000 taels of silver. Su Ji alone earned 3000 taels, which is less than a year’s income. The tofu shop in Qingshi Town and Su Ji add up to 500 taels. Although there is only one tofu shop in Beijing, it is still a partnership with the Chu family, but that is the capital city, and even tofu is more expensive than Suzaku City, not to mention It is still the best tofu in the world approved by the imperial court, so 2000 taels of silver are also included in the account.Needless to say, the cosmetics shop has not earned a penny since taking over, but has lost several hundred taels of silver. The silk shop has made some money, but there is not much money in just a few months. Not to mention the two Zhuangzi.So adding up all these miscellaneous things, the current silver in the family is more than 3000 taels of silver.

Although this amount is quite a lot, it may not be enough to open the post office in her previous life, not to mention that she can't take all the money away. There is always a need for money turnover at home and restaurants, but she doesn't have money here. There must be immediate benefits.

"Mother, if I need it, I will talk to you and Dad. Now I have to go back and think about it."

Seeing her frowning and sighing, Su Wenshan and his wife knew that she couldn't think about it for some reason, so they didn't care about her and just let her think about it.

The next day, Su Jin wrote a letter to Su Shuang, and the next step was to wait patiently. During this period, she had to make a good plan for the post office, how to open it, and how to deal with these messy things after it opened. Yes, there are still manpower. Although there are many people in the mansion, there are not many who are trustworthy and can take on great responsibilities. Alas, everything is really difficult!

Just when she was in trouble, another accident happened at home. This time, it was not her second uncle who gambled, it was not her second aunt who provoked trouble, but her unruly and willful sister-in-law.The Lu family sent someone to send a letter, saying that a wealthy businessman who came to the village to collect grain from the little girl Su Ran ran away!What concept is this?This is elopement!It's not shameful to be divorced, and it's not shameful to be divorced, but this elopement is really a shameful thing, but her sister-in-law did such a shameful thing!

Su Wenshan returned home in a hurry, before Su Shuang's reply arrived, and Lu Shi came back with him.Seeing her two sons and daughter, Lu was crying with tears and snot, "This damn girl, she just ran away like that! It's really embarrassing for our Su family! These things are terrible. Well, everyone in the village knows it, you say, how can I stay in the village! It's a shame!"

Su Cui supported her and comforted her: "Mother, don't be angry, my little sister...she is just spoiled, otherwise she wouldn't have easily reconciled with Fang Ze."

"What's the use of talking about it now? She's gone, and I don't know where she went, or if she was wronged outside, or if she was hungry or tired..." Mrs. Lu Crying hoarsely, almost passed out.

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Liu also sighed heavily. She is also a mother. Naturally, she can understand this feeling. She is angry with the child, but she loves the child. ah!
