Chapter 247 Inside Story 2
The Zou family shared the profit from the military uniforms with the Fang family.Persuading the Fang family to join forces, the Fang family and the Cen family are just friends, not in-laws.For the benefits the Zou family can give, they will also agree to help.

Zou and Li took their daughter back to Chang'an.In Longzhou City, the Fang family's reason for selling the shop gradually spread: Feng Shui is not good, not only does not make money, but also loses money.The Fang family was about to make a move, so the Zou family bought it and gave it to Cen Zhibai.

The Fang family extended the lease for three months for the sake of the Cen family, and lost another three months.Cen Erlang was given three months to find a new employer.

The Fang family dominates in business in Longzhou City.

Fang's family is running a shop that loses money, so who would dare to rent it?
Since August, the five shops in Cen Zhibai's hands have been closed, and they have rented out the Xipu, but no one is interested.

The five shops are connected together.

A foreign merchant appeared in Longzhou City.Discuss with Cen Erlang, want to buy the five shops in his hand, and build a luxurious restaurant on the land again.

The Fang family sold the five shops to the Zou family for 5 taels of silver.Cen Zhibai determined that the five shops were worth 5 taels of silver.

If Feng Shui is bad, the price will be low.Naturally, the merchants would not do it, and were only willing to pay 2 taels.After the two sides talked and talked, the merchant came up with another idea.It takes 8 taels of silver to build a restaurant and reopen it.Cen Zhibai invested in five shops plus 1 taels of silver, accounting for [-]% of the shares.

Cen Erlang looked at the blueprint, the three-storey restaurant has eight courtyards behind it.After completion, it will be the most luxurious restaurant in Longzhou City.Heartbroken.

You don't need to take care of yourself, just wait for the money.

The eldest lady was also moved.Find merchants to discuss together.In the end, the businessman gave in and asked the Cen family to pay another 1 taels of silver and give the Cen family an additional [-]% of the shares.

The Cen family occupies [-]% of the restaurant with the land of five shops and [-] silver.

The merchants paid 6 taels of silver, accounting for [-]% of the restaurant.

Cen Zhibai wrote the deed and pooled 2000 taels, together with the 5000 taels of betrothal gift and 3000 taels of rent from the Zou family, he invested in it.

Merchants are activists.After taking the deed, they hired people to demolish the shops and ordered materials for buying and building restaurants.

Cen Zhibai was full of energy to help as a supervisor.

The eldest lady helped to look over the materials.It was found that merchants bought good and cheap ones.Very satisfied.

In less than ten days, all seven shops were knocked down and turned into a piece of white ground.

The merchant suddenly had something to do at home.Not only was the 6 taels of silver unable to be drawn, but the family urged him to go back quickly.He had no choice but to transfer all 2% of the shares at a low price of [-] taels of silver.

It turned out that one share was close to 1 taels of silver.The other family bought [-]% of the shares at half the price, and the Cen family's shares were naturally discounted by half.Of course the Cen family refused.Decided to buy the [-]% shares.

The wages for demolishing the shop and the materials for building the restaurant were paid for with 2 taels of cash from the Cen family.

After splitting the account between four and six, the merchant took 8000 taels, and boldly towed away the materials worth 7000 taels by boat. The 1000 taels was considered unlucky for him.The Cen family only paid him 2000 taels to buy all the shares.

Du Yanwan laughed tremblingly: "The shops were all pulled down. The materials worth 7000 taels were dragged away, and the Cen's family only got materials worth 1000 taels. It was still far from building a restaurant. The wood was piled up in the In a rented warehouse. Still have to pay the rent.”

The Cen family put in 2000 taels of cash and got an open space and a pile of wood.The longer the delay, the more rent the warehouse pays.If the Cen family wanted to build a restaurant to make a profit, they would have to invest at least tens of thousands of taels into it.

After the restaurant was built, Cen's family didn't know how to manage it, so the tens of thousands of taels of silver might be wasted.Selling it now is just a piece of land.How can there be a well-built shop that is worth money.Seven shops can sell five or sixty thousand taels of silver.A piece of good open land at the port can be sold for up to 6 taels.The Cen family is in a dilemma.

Cen Sanniang thought, Zou Xiongjie is really cruel.Make a game to trap the Cen family in.If the eldest lady is not greedy, the Cen family will suffer less.The eldest lady plunged in.The cash of the third room of Cen's family cannot be turned over.

Mrs. Zou shook her round fan lightly, and said lightly: "Just teach the Cen family a lesson. For Bao'er's sake, my brother will not do anything wrong. I have already sent the steward to the Cen's family, and plan to spend 2 taels of silver Buy that piece of land and cooperate with the Fang family to build a restaurant. In the future, all the shares will add makeup to Bao'er."

Cen Sanniang secretly yelled so hard.

Buying the land is equivalent to using 2 taels of silver from the Cen family.After taking the land, Zou Xiongjie used the land to cooperate with the Fang family to build a restaurant, and they didn't suffer any losses.The Cen family took tens of thousands of taels of silver to build a restaurant, so of course they could only sell it cheaply.Calculated in this way, the Cen family didn't make a tael of silver, and lost tens of thousands of taels of silver after losing manpower and effort.

Mrs. Zou smiled and said, "It is my Bao'er who will benefit in the end. The money that the Cen family loses should be regarded as Bao'er's dowry."

Du Yanwan's face was full of light: "Sister-in-law, do you think my boss is amazing?"

Cen Sanniang picked up the round fan and knocked on her, jokingly said: "Brine tofu, one thing will drop one thing. Young master is very good, as long as you can hold it, it's better to be strong."

This is for Mrs. Zou.This is the first time I have seen Zou Xiongjie's methods.Cen Sanniang was really afraid that Du Yanwan would suffer.

Zou's eyes flashed: "My brother is a businessman, and he never tells the reason. I also heard Yan Wan talk about it, so I know that my brother thinks long-term for Bao'er."

It means that Zou Xiongjie is only willing to tell Yan Wan.Cen Sanniang laughed.

When the sister-in-law and the sister-in-law returned to Zou's house, Du Yanwan happily told Zou Xiongjie: "Sister-in-law is still pretending not to be curious. I provoked her with words, but she couldn't hold back, so she forced me to give her 100 taels of silver before she would listen."

Zou Xiongjie coughed, and asked her slowly: "You just gave her 100 taels of silver, so she is willing to listen to you?"

"Yes, yes!" Du Yanwan smiled brightly, "Actually, she is extremely curious. After listening to it, she praised you for being amazing."

Zou Xiongjie looked at her speechlessly.

Du Yanwan glared at him aggrievedly: "Are you upset that I told her? Didn't you say that it's okay to tell Sanniang and my brother? You don't want me to tell her, you should have said it earlier!"

Zou Xiongjie grinned and coaxed her: "I didn't say I couldn't tell her. I was a little embarrassed when she praised me."

Du Yanwan smiled proudly: "Are you already amazing!"

Zou Xiongjie smiled obsequiously: "Brine tofu, one thing drops one thing. I'm amazing, and I'm afraid of you, madam!"

Du Yanwan's eyes sparkled: "Sister-in-law said the same thing! I'm going to change clothes."

The butterfly turned lightly into the inner room.

Zou Xiongjie immediately put away his smile, and murmured: "I was sold and paid for the money. 100 taels...Cen Sanniang, you profiteer!"

Thinking of 100 taels, his heart tightened, and he took off his robe and went out of the room: "Five taels! Five taels!"

Wuliang ran over: "Master."

Zou Xiongjie thought for a while and wanted to say in a low voice: "Remember, next time the young lady returns to her natal home, she will ask the office to prepare a gift of 100 taels of silver. Don't let the young lady know."

Wuliang nodded: "Don't worry, young master, I will remember."

A few days later, Mrs. Liu, the second wife's wife, came to visit her.

Du Jianjia got married, and the second wife, Mrs. Liu, wanted to ask Cen Sanniang to come to the house for help.Before Cen Sanniang refused, Mrs. Du frowned: "Sanniang is still keeping filial piety for her mother. With filial piety on her body, how can she help you arrange a happy event? You are really confused."

Liu Shiyuan was moved by Wei Xiaowan and Nanny Song, and she only thought of Mrs. Guogong's help to make her daughter's marriage more prosperous.After being awakened by Mrs. Du, she was so angry that she went home and scolded Wei Xiaowan.

Wei Xiaowan couldn't regret it.He secretly scolded himself for being too eager, and forgot that Cen Sanniang was still in the filial piety period.He brought the girl to visit to make amends, but Manager Du directly blocked him back: "The Duke is not in the mansion, and the Young Madam ordered that during the filial piety, no outsiders will be seen."

Wei Xiaowan left resentfully, her mind suddenly cleared up.The Founding Marquis' Mansion wanted to inquire about the news of the Duke's Mansion.Du Yansui just came back from Longzhou, why is he not in the mansion, where did he go alone?Isn't this ready-made news?
Thinking of this, Wei Xiaowan turned around and got into the carriage, ordering to go to the Jianguohou's Mansion.

Wei Xiaoqing hastily married Cui Zhongdong before the army set off, and became the third wife of the founding marquis.Less than half a month after getting married, Cui Zhongdong set off with Dajun.

After all, being married is not as comfortable as being a girl at home.Mrs. Li looked down on Cui Erlang's daughter-in-law and was extremely tolerant of Wei Xiaoqing.But he also didn't want his son to go out to fight, but Wei Xiaoqing was able to go out and ride horses.Access control is strictly controlled.As long as Wei Xiaoqing stays in the mansion honestly, Mrs. Li doesn't care about other things.

Therefore, when Wei Xiaowan came to visit, Mrs. Li and Wei Xiaoqing were very welcome.

Mrs. Li habitually inquired about the news of Du Guogong's mansion: "...I heard that Du Guogong and his wife have returned from visiting relatives?"

Right in the middle of Wei Xiaowan's arms, she smiled and said, "I'm back. But it's strange... Brother Du Jiu has never shown up. I just found out today that Brother Du Jiu is not in the mansion. I don't know what I'm busy with."

Mrs. Li received the advice from the Marquis of the Founding State, and before Wei Xiaowan could ask, she said, "My family, Sanlang, wrote a letter saying that the army will soon start a war with the Western Turks. Du Sanlang is in charge of the anchor of the armaments, and is safe behind the camp. Very bad."

Wei Xiaowan's eyes flashed, a little sad.Cui Sanlang knew about writing family letters, but there was no news of his husband.

"...The British public underestimated him when he grew up, and the family letter was reported with the mansion." Li said lightly.

"That's right. Only the Hou's Mansion has such convenience. How can ordinary people get it." Wei Xiaowan was relieved, and complimented with a smile by the way.
