Princess Fortune

Chapter 171 Hesitation
Wang Dahua stared at the small and delicate dim sum for a long time.

Xu Tang smiled and handed it to her mouth: "Mother, try it quickly."

Xu Tang smiled like a flower, Wang Dahua also laughed, and opened his mouth to take a bite: "It's so sweet."

After speaking, he hugged Xu Tang again: "Our Tang Hua is really filial."

This tone and demeanor made Xu Mei so tired all of a sudden: "Jin Bao and I are not less filial in normal times."

Xu Jinbao's cheeks were full, and he rolled his eyes, "The second sister is the most filial."

Xu Mei raised his hand and slapped him on the forehead: "Eat the inside out."

These words may have touched Wang Dahua's mind, Wang Dahua said lightly: "What are you talking about!"

The atmosphere froze for a while.

Xu Tang calmed down a few words, comforted Wang Dahua, turned around and said that he wanted to see the shop, pulled Xu Mei out, and asked a few words quietly.

Xu Mei felt aggrieved, and her temper was a little bit up, and her tone was a little aggressive: "Who did you provoke? It's like this all day long."

Xu Tang hurriedly tried to persuade her, knowing that she was not malicious: "What's the matter, mother?"

Xu Mei explained the cause and effect, and added a sentence at the end: "I just saw him like this, if you want to recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors in the future—"

Xu Tang's face darkened now: "Eldest sister!"

Only then did Xu Mei keep quiet, knowing that she had said something wrong, and she didn't know how to make it up, so she just kept silent.

Xu Tang calmed down for a long time before saying calmly: "From now on, it's better not to say that. I told you, I'm Xu Tang, and I'm your mother's daughter."

What to do when you're done talking.

Xu Mei felt a little wronged and blamed herself, but in the end she suppressed all these emotions.

The shop is almost ready.

There is a small door at the back to enter the backyard, and there is a door on the whole wall in front, and the interior has also been decorated.

Very bright and square.

Now everything here is discussed by Xu Mei and Ruan Hongzhen, Xu Mei said: "When the time comes, Hongzhen and I will sell first. If the business is good, I'm afraid we will have to buy someone."

Xu Tang nodded: "Sister Ruan is very capable and knowledgeable, Elder Sister listens to her more."

Xu Mei glared at Xu Tang, wanting to curse "I'm not stupid" as usual, but she held back.

After all, what happened just now——

"Is the counter ready?" Xu Tang asked, feeling very happy - if this is done, just wait for the goods to be made, and then they can open!

How can you be in a bad mood about making money?

Xu Mei was also happy when she mentioned this: "It's already done. Just wait for the paint to dry."

But after spending a lot of money, Xu Mei felt a little pained.

Xu Tang and Xu Mei talked about the workshop: "I discussed it with Young Master Xue, we can do good deeds, use more homeless children, and just take care of food, shelter, and clothes."

Xu Mei gradually pursed her lips when she heard this, with a solemn expression on her face.

Xu Tang talked about the idea, and finally mentioned Xifu Academy: "Master Miaojin plans to open another small school, where students can study for free. At that time, these children will study in the school for half a day."

Xu Mei pursed her lips even tighter.

"Let me ask you, did Master Miaojin say that he wanted to open a school, so you moved this idea, or—"

Xu Tang didn't understand: "What's the difference between the two?"

"We are still slaves and maidservants. Where did you come from with such kindness? An expert like Master Miaojin doesn't understand such things as firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea. You still don't understand?" Xu Mei poked bitterly. Touched Xu Tang's forehead.

"Don't even think about it. Those who are beggars, who are not very cunning? Why can't they earn a bite of food? They have to beg for food? There are so many people who sell children and sell women in the West Market. Be really cruel. , you can sell it yourself, why do you have to be a beggar?"

Xu Mei said clearly: "When the time comes, if someone steals your things, or is disobedient and lazy, you won't even have to cry!"

Xu Tang was stunned for a long time because of such a sentence.

Finally pursed his lips, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "That's easy, I'll remind Master Miaojin about this matter, we agreed when recruiting people, we need to work and sign the contract of sale. Even if they wait until they are old It’s okay to send it back when it arrives. But the problem that the eldest sister mentioned is indeed to be guarded against.”

It's better to be lazy, after all, you are a child, and there are also those who are not so sensible.

But it's really wrong to steal things or do bad things on purpose.

Xu Mei nodded: "I've asked about the price. In fact, it's really not expensive to buy someone. You can buy a maid for three or five taels, and you can buy a strong laborer for ten taels."

Xu Mei is more inclined to buy people.

Xu Tang tugged at Xu Mei's sleeve and smiled, "Let's do good deeds as well, and accumulate virtue."

After a pause, he said again: "Don't let Jin Bao do too much work, let him also go to the school to attend lectures."

Xu Mei nodded her head in response, and her calculations sounded loud: "We really do this kind of thing, and Master Miaojin definitely doesn't mind the matter of going to Master Miaojin's school. Let's save a lot of money too. When he knows how to read, he will be able to count." Well, it’s okay to be an accountant for the family first. My mother has been thinking about setting up a stall to sell breakfast these days, and I still want to persuade her. Or let my mother be responsible for cooking for us after the shop is up? One month Also give wages."

In this way, the fat and water will not fall into the fields of outsiders.

Xu Tang smiled brighter when he heard this account: "It's all up to the eldest sister and mother to discuss. I have no objection."

In this way, life seems to be booming.

It makes people feel warm and motivated.

Xu Mei took Xu Tang to discuss with Wang Dahua: "You tell mother, mother will listen to you."

The two sisters went to talk to Wang Dahua about this again, but Wang Dahua insisted: "That won't work, I'd better go to sell rice cakes at a stall in Xishikou."

"Of course, I just came back to make lunch. Anyway, I also got up early in the morning to steam rice cakes, so I made breakfast right away. Boil some rice porridge, cut some pickles, and bake two cakes." Wang Dahua works quickly, but he is out of character His words were also a little surprising.

Wang Dahua was so persistent, Xu Tang probably guessed a bit.

After thinking about it, I said, "Mother, when I sold it to the young master, it was a death contract. I can't redeem myself."

As soon as these words came out, Wang Dahua was stunned.

The energy in her heart was also vented, and her whole body became depressed: "Why can't I redeem myself, the young master is so kind, I will kowtow to beg him—"

Xu Tang sighed softly, and grabbed Wang Dahua: "Mother, the young master has helped us so much, so don't mention these things that embarrass the young master."

She definitely can't be a maid for the rest of her life, but she certainly can't let Wang Dahua work hard to earn money to redeem herself.

"Mother, don't worry, the young master has promised me. In the future, when I reach the age of marriage, he will let me go home." Xu Tang spread his fingers to Wang Dahua: "Generally speaking, marriage is later until the 21st. You're only thirteen, so it will take five years at least. Five years later, it's reasonable for us to bring up this matter again."

It shouldn't be difficult to save 20 taels of silver for five years.

Wang Dahua breathed a sigh of relief, but felt sad at the same time. She reached out and stroked Xu Tang's hair: "Mother, I'm sorry for making you suffer so much."

Xu Tang comforted her: "Mother raised me up so well, it's very good."

As for sorry, there really isn't one.

But what Xu Tang didn't know was that the more relieved he was, the more hesitant and sad Wang Dahua felt in his heart.
