Chapter 131 I Can't Hold It Back (5)
Only then did Yu's closed eyes open, and those slightly cloudy eyes revealed a sharp gleam!
"Tell me, tomorrow I will go to An's Incense Candle Shop in person, and in two days I will go to Longchang Temple to offer incense. This time, I will personally choose some high-quality incense candles."

The nanny said: "These small things can be done by the servants. Why do you go in person?"

Yu's face darkened, "Is it a trivial matter to choose incense candles for the Buddha?"

The nanny hurriedly admitted her mistake, and after helping Mrs Yu to sleep, she spread a quilt on the floor in the outer room and rested.

In the morning of the next day, Mrs. Yu recited scriptures for nearly half an hour after eating breakfast before leaving the yard.

As soon as Mrs. Yu came out of the yard, she heard people report that someone from Sanfang had come and was resting in the front hall.

Yu Shi slightly frowned, hurriedly walked a little faster, and went to the front hall.

The old man was sitting on the main seat, except for Su Wei and Su Qing, everyone else was there.

Yu Shi entered the front hall and said with a smile: "Cheng'er is here? Why didn't you say anything in advance, I was just talking about going to choose some incense sticks."

Su Cheng hurriedly got up and said, "It's just a little thing, I dare not work on my mother!"

Yu sat down with a smile, looked at Jingmei who was standing aside and said, "Meier, come, come to grandma."

Jingmei stepped forward according to her words, and stood beside Yu Shi.Where is the present Jingmei as arrogant and domineering as before?Liu Shi, who is temporarily in charge of the government, has already lost his temper!
Yu Shi looked at it, and said with some distress: "Look at how skinny this child is! How do you become a father? You don't even care that Mei'er has become so skinny?"

Su Cheng's face froze, and he said, "Mother, it's time to grow her body. You see her thin because she has grown taller."

Yu's face darkened, and he said angrily: "You also know that she is growing up? Look at this child's face! She is almost a refugee! Mei'er, let's not go back. From today onwards, You're right here with grandma! How are you?"

Na Jingmei hurriedly blessed her body and said: "Thank you grandma! Meier also misses grandma day and night!"

Jingyi raised her eyebrows, seeing her for a few days, this Jingmei can speak flattery now!And Jingwei looked at Jingmei with eyes full of disdain!You used to joke that I was born of a concubine, but now you yourself are also a concubine?

Mrs. Yu helped Jingmei up, turned to Gu and said, "Daughter-in-law, Jingmei's expenses here will come from my monthly bill."

Gu's face was panicked, she got up and said: "Isn't this old lady hitting your daughter-in-law in the face? Don't say that Jingmei is my niece, your granddaughter, even if an outsider comes to live in the mansion, she can't follow your monthly schedule. The money is out! The old lady loves Jingmei, it is the child's good luck. Just let her be by your side. Her expenses, the daughter-in-law will naturally arrange for her."

Yu Shi nodded, as if just remembering, and asked: "Cheng'er, why are you free today?"

The old man snorted softly, "Why do you think he came here for no reason? Or to borrow money?"

Su Cheng hurriedly said: "It's like this, mother. I have a former classmate who has been doing silk and satin business after he failed the exam. I met a few days ago and had a drink together, only then did I know that his silk and satin business is in Shandong. It was very prosperous, and that friend discussed with me to open a silk and satin shop in the capital. I didn't have enough money on hand, so I thought of borrowing some emergency from my elder brother. Still on."

The old man said coldly: "What kind of serious friends do you have? Be careful that someone tricks you, you are still foolishly counting money for others!"

In front of so many juniors, being scolded by the old man like this, Su Cheng's face was a little uneasy, with a look of embarrassment and embarrassment on his face.

Gu Shi sighed in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it, and said with a smile: "Third brother thinks it's a good thing to do business, and father should not underestimate third brother, maybe third brother is really good at business."

Yu Shi also took the opportunity to say: "That's right, Cheng'er knows how to make progress? Since he can no longer be an official, he must find ways to make money. Why do you despise him so much?"

The old man glanced at Mrs. Yu and didn't speak, just drinking his tea quietly.

Mrs Yu glanced at Mrs Gu, Mrs Gu understood that the old lady wanted to lend him the money, so she forced a smile and asked, "I wonder how much money the third brother still needs?"

Su Cheng was overjoyed, knowing that Mrs. Gu was willing to lend him money, he said anxiously: "Everyone will pay 2000 taels, I have 1000 taels, and there is still a shortfall of 1000 taels."

Gu's surprised: "1000 taels? Do you need 4000 taels of silver to open a silk and satin shop?"

Mrs. Yu also asked, "Yes! It's just a silk and satin shop, how could it spend so much money?"

Su Cheng explained: "The silks and satins we operate are different from those of other companies. They all come in from well-known embroidery workshops and weaving workshops in the south of the Yangtze River. The cost should be higher, plus the transportation costs and rent. You always have to stock up first. That’s why you need so much silver.”

Gu said with some concern: "I also have two silk and satin houses in my dowry, but I don't know that I need to spend such a large capital."

Mrs. Yu glanced at Mrs. Gu and said: "Today, your sister-in-law lent you the money, so you have to manage it well. If you don't understand anything, you can go to your sister-in-law's shop and ask. Learn it. Don't ask for it." Pretend to understand if you don’t understand! It makes people laugh and loses money.”

Su Cheng hurriedly responded with a smile.

Gu's heart is extremely angry here!I just asked how much money was short, and the old lady hurriedly answered for herself.The words are so nice!Although Gu's heart was angry, but in front of so many juniors, based on filial piety, he couldn't refute it clearly, so he could only lightly say: "Let's do it. Third brother, 1000 taels of silver is not a small amount. Wait for your elder brother to come back , I asked him, and then someone will send it to your house for you. How about it?"

Seeing that there is a door, Su Cheng hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, sister-in-law. Father, mother, the son left first. My friend is still waiting to see the door together."

The old man ignored him, Yu Shi waved at him and said, "Go, go."

Here, Su Cheng went out.Mrs. Yu asked someone to make arrangements for Jingmei, and she took the two nuns out of the mansion in a carriage and went straight to An's incense and candle shop.

Entering the incense and candle shop, Mrs. Yu looked at each other one by one.While picking, the shopkeeper smiled and said, "Hey, isn't this Mrs. Su? What do you want to choose today?"

Yu said with a smile, "I'm thinking about going to offer incense in two days, but I'm worried about the people choosing it, so I want to come and see for myself."

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "Madam Su, you are sincere! The Buddha will definitely bless you."

Yu Shi smiled lightly and remained silent.
