Vow to die at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 285 The First Anti-Bandit Alliance ([-])
Zhou Xiu hesitated when she heard Li Xiafang say that the profits and risks of sea trade were high.All these years, my husband's salary has been in my hands, and I invested all the money before, and I also bought some shares in the clothing factory and tea factory.Now the spare money in hand has gone to seven or eighty-eight, plus the 500 taels I got yesterday, the total is only 1000 taels.

Although I have no worries about food and clothing, but my daughter was born, I still want to buy an extra dowry for her.As for his son, if he can take charge of the security regiment, he doesn't care about the money.Unknowingly, Zhou Xiu's heart was filled with the figure of her daughter.It's no wonder that Qiu Dining's heart is full of resentment, this sister is not a toy given to him by heaven, but sent to fight against him for favor!

A thousand taels of silver is a lot. If it works well, it will be several times the profit in a few years.In addition, Zhou Xiu was not at ease with Li Xiafang, and was a little worried that the other party was jealous that she got 200 taels more than her, so she planned to make herself lose everything in Haimao.So, after pretending to think for a while, Zhou Xiu shook her head and said.

"Sister, I have a small capital, so I don't play this anymore. I don't know how my sister can get money?"

Hearing Zhou Xiu's refusal, Li Xiafang was disappointed.Indeed, just as Zhou Xiu thought, Li Xiafang was upset that she would take 200 taels less, so she wanted Zhou Xiu to invest the money in Haimao, but it still failed in the end.

Smiling twice to ease her disappointment, Li Xiafang said.

"Hehe, since my sister is a little worried about the risks of sea trade, then I don't mind doing it. After all, it takes ten thousand years to be careful! From my sister's point of view, being a supplier is the least risky. This month Zhejiang has been laid down, and there are really everywhere Business opportunities! Just a road repair can make people hungry! A few days ago, the Ministry of Commerce established a fifth construction engineering group to be responsible for the infrastructure construction in western Zhejiang. Currently, there are [-] shares in total, and each share is ten taels of silver .Is my sister interested?"

Zhou Xiu pondered for a while. Although the infrastructure construction has a large profit, the payment of project funds is slow. If you are stuck in the Ministry of Commerce for a period of time, or if you don't get a project with oil and water, the final profit will be low.The Ministry of Commerce is Li Xiafang's father's territory, so it's up to this little girl to decide?
Therefore, Zhou Xiu still refused: "Forget it, this infrastructure stock is very popular, but I can't let my sister go through the back door, and my husband will blame me at that time. Well, what else does my sister think?"

Seeing that Zhou Xiu was still unmoved, Li Xiafang was also a little depressed. After all, she was only 16 years old, and she couldn't get up after several setbacks.She took a sip of the cold porridge and said lightly.

"I went home two days ago and my father said that the mahjong tiles on the market were out of stock, so the Ministry of Commerce planned to build a mahjong factory and make a brand to seize the market. By then, the quality of this brand of mahjong will be much better than that of the small workshop before. It should be There is a prospect. Well, I heard from my father that the capital of this factory is low, and then only one thousand shares will be issued, five taels of silver per share."

Hearing this, Zhou Xiu's eyes lit up.She also played mahjong, but she played mahjong not purely just for entertainment.Qiu Tianxing knew that the pillow wind was very strong, so he also asked Zhou Xiu to get in touch with the wives of several ministers when he was free. These women would either go shopping or play mahjong when they got together.Zhou Xiu also often heard women complain about the poor quality of mahjong, the bamboo ones were not even trimmed, and the mahjong was uncomfortable to hold.These ministers all have shares, and the women in the family are also rich, so it is very profitable to play some high-end mahjong.

"Okay, that's all. When the Mahjong Factory issues shares, please let me know! I'll let Xiaolan queue up overnight to buy [-] shares."

Hearing that her mistress said that she would queue up overnight, Xiaolan's face suddenly collapsed.

Xiaolan is Zhou Zhen's distant relative, the same generation as Zhou Xiu.In the past, most of the chores in the backyard of the security regiment were handled by the wives of the officials' families.Later, after Li Xiafang came in, Li Yuanbao brought in the personal maid from the family.After seeing through the deep meaning behind this incident, Zhou Zhen also searched among a group of relatives who had defected to him, and found Xiao Lan, who was still good-looking and at a good age, and sent her in.

Although both Xiaolan and Xiaoli signed the service contract, both of them knew that this was just going through the motions, they were slaves in the past.Although there were no slaves in the security regiment except the labor camps, people like Xiaolan and Xiaoli were not uncommon in the homes of the upstarts of the security regiment.But these people are all voluntary. Under the rule of the security regiment, no one can force people to be slaves unless they make mistakes and are sent to labor camps.It is precisely because of this kind of protection that the status of these people has been improved, their personal safety has been well guaranteed, and their wages have increased a lot. This is why they are willing to stay in the Lord's house and do not want to leave.

When Zhou Zhen sent someone to find Xiaolan, there were matchmakers in Xiaolan's house.For Mr. Zhou's relatives, the threshold is very high!There are many people watching from all directions, just wanting to have something to do with Chief Zhou.

The candidate brought by the matchmaker is also good, a squadron leader from the Ministry of Public Security, orphaned, young, and has a house.Once married, she is a big wife, with no mother-in-law to suppress her, and no sister-in-law to make trouble.Such conditions made Xiaolan and Xiaolan's father very happy.Although Xiaolan's father and Zhou Zhen are distant relatives, he has only been a section chief in the Ministry of Civil Affairs for a few years.Although Xiaolan's father thinks that Zhou Zhen is worried that others will say that he is oppressed by cronyism, but in fact the real reason is that Xiaolan's father is not capable enough to support him.

It is precisely because Xiaolan's father can't get along that Xiaolan's father is very eager for an official position.I heard that the young Toshihiko who entrusted the matchmaker to come this time turned out to be the squadron leader!The squadron leader is a department-level cadre, right?The son-in-law is one level higher than the father-in-law, which made Xiaolan's father very satisfied.

But when the housekeeper of Zhou Zhen's family came up and had a hasty chat with Xiaolan's father, Xiaolan's father invited the matchmaker out, and the marriage fell through.

Just when Xiaolan's father wanted to persuade Xiaolan with all his heart, Xiaolan didn't expect that Xiaolan didn't need her father's persuasion at all. Instead, she happily said when she could go to the backyard of the leader's house.This huge psychological gap shocked Xiaolan's father.

Although the wife of the squadron leader of the Ministry of Public Security is good, it is better to go to the leader's house.According to my father's wishes, maybe I can be a concubine in the future.What is this concept?This is raising the little section chief's father to the same height as Minister Li Yuanbao of the Ministry of Commerce!
However, Xiaolan's life after she came here disappointed her.She felt that she had really become a maid. She served tea, poured water, washed clothes and folded quilts all day long, and even poured the toilet by herself.What has become of this?Is it doomed to become an old woman?What made her even more frustrated was that every time she met the head of the group, she frequently gave her a glance, but in the end there was no response, and even her words were commanded with orders.

These were just disappointments and frustrations, but what made her most indignant was that Xiaoli, the maid next to the concubine, did not get along with her, and she was full of fighting spirit when they met, and she wished she could fight each other.This made Xiaolan's life even more uncomfortable.My current life is a low-level poor maid, how can I have the powerful and powerful appearance of the personal maid in the drama?It's clearly a doormat!
Just like this, Xiaolan could bear it, but she didn't expect that Madam would queue up to buy stocks overnight?Xiaolan also knew about buying stocks overnight, because her father had done the same. Once popular stocks were issued, many people would queue up the night before.But most of them are old men!Thinking of the stinky old men, the dark environment, the snoring sound wrapped in the quilt, the indecent convenience of being nearby, and so on.Thinking of these terrible things, Xiaolan was so anxious and wronged that she was about to cry.

It's just that she is just a maid, and no one cares about her joys and sorrows.When Qiu Dijing in Xiaolan's arms woke up from a deep sleep, she cried because she was uncomfortable.Hearing the cry, Xiao Lan couldn't care less about feeling sorry for herself, and hurriedly coaxed the child up.Although Xiaolan has never given birth, her familiar methods are not inferior to other mothers.

Qiu Dijing's cry announced the end of today's breakfast, and Zhou Xiu and Li Xiafang went back to their respective courtyards to do their own things.
