Chapter 220
Wen Xia didn't know that Qin Shenxing had just experienced a life-and-death battle.
At this time, she was thinking about expanding their beauty salon.
In their beauty salon, after providing door-to-door services, there were indeed more customers. However, overall, the increase in performance was not obvious.
Logically speaking, Wen Xia should actually be satisfied with the speed at which the beauty salon makes money.
However, in this pitiful era where there are no mobile phones, no Internet, and even few books to read, Wen Xia really doesn’t know if she doesn’t work hard for her career, what else can she do to consume a lot of money?
time.
Therefore, after a few days of brief hesitation, Wen Xia was ready to adopt the suggestion Zhu Yan had made before and open their beauty salon to other cities.
Of course, if you want to open a branch, there are many joints that need to be opened.
When going to a new place, Wen Xia is not worried about competing interests with the local people.
She is no longer the Wen Xia who couldn't even afford a better shop when she first arrived in Fucheng.
With her current capital, when she goes to a new place, she can rely on her considerable wealth to gain a foothold in a strange place.
For Wenxia now, the most difficult thing is road transportation and the production of raw materials.
There are many plants needed to make these beauty products. But in this era of war and chaos, farmers in most places only grow food that can survive. How can they have the energy to grow other things?
In this way, the beauty products produced by Wenxia are sufficient for their own use only. However, if they want to expand the scale, they are a bit lacking.
Not to mention, transportation is also a big problem now.
There are a lot of robbers on the road now. If they are unlucky and encounter a small-scale imperial army, the things they carry will be easily snatched away by the imperial army.
However, don’t be afraid if you encounter difficulties, as long as you can solve them.
After all, if Wen Xia had the kind of temperament to back down when encountering some difficulties, she would not be where she is today.
After listening to Wen Xia's series of plans, several people in the family disagreed.
In their opinion, Wenxia's current business is good enough. Before, a few years ago, they never thought that one day they would live like this.
"Mother Xia, it's not like you don't know what the world is like outside now. If you ask someone else to open a beauty salon for you in a new place, I won't say anything. At the worst, we'll pay a few bucks, at least one person
It is peaceful.
But now that you are telling us that you want to go to other places to get through the transition and open a new beauty salon, we can't rest assured."
Qin Erzhu glanced at Wen Xia, then turned to look at Wen Yulan, whose face was obviously worried at this time, and then said to Wen Xia:
"Mother Xia, Dad knows that you have big ideas, and I also know that you are a capable child and can find a way to solve problems yourself. But no matter what, you are still a teenage girl. After you go out in person,
What should I do if I encounter bandits on the road?"
Wen Xia smiled and said: "Dad, you don't have to worry about this. I will ask Sanniang to let me travel with their Du family's caravan. Don't you know about the Du family's caravan? Every time we travel
There are so many people inside, and escorts from the escort agency are specially hired to escort them.
Even if you encounter bandits on the road, you won't dare to take action when you see so many people in their caravan.
Also, although the Du family's old house is in our city, they not only have business here, it can be said that their business is spread all over the country.
Even if they encounter imperial troops on the road, generally speaking, they will give the Du family caravan a face and not embarrass them too much.
Anyway, the Du family caravan has been doing business outside for so many years, and I have never heard of any problems with their caravan."
Hearing that Wen Xia had already thought of a way to travel, the expression on Qin Erzhu's face not only did not relax, but became even more tense.
Qin Erzhu glanced at Wen Xia and said in a low tone: "Mother Xia, it stands to reason that when I was in a coma before, it was you who relied on your own business to make our family's life better and better, so that your mother and brother
He was not taught by the people in the old house.
As someone who has been in a coma for so long and lived a good life with you right after waking up, I am not qualified to say too much. However, you are my daughter after all, and there are some things I still want to say to you."
Hearing Qin Erzhu's words, Wen Xia's face also became serious.
Based on her years of experience watching bloody TV dramas, after Qin Erzhu said such words, she would definitely not like to hear what he was going to say next.
Sure enough, Qin Erzhu paused and continued to say to Wen Xia: "Mother Xia, you are not too young now. Before anything happened to our family, your mother and I were already helping you choose the right one.
People are here.
It's just that at that time, your mother and I both wanted you to stay at home for a while. Plus, since you are really young, we wanted to choose a good one for you, so we were not in a hurry.
However, before we could come up with anything, something happened at home, and your marriage was naturally delayed.
As you said before, your mother also told me that you wanted to expand the business. The situation was special at that time, and you had such an idea, which was probably suddenly stimulated.
But now our family is living a pretty good life. Although I don’t make a lot of money in business, I don’t have a big problem in supporting our family. Not to mention the beauty salon you run, I now make more money every day than our family once did.
Earn more every year.
This kind of life is already a good life that I couldn't even imagine before. In this way, you don't have to worry about the family anymore."
Having said this, Qin Erzhu picked up the tea bowl on the table and took a sip of water.
Seeing him stop, Wen Xia asked in an unclear tone: "Dad, what do you mean by telling me this now?"
"Mother Xia, you are not young now, and girls have only been sending love letters for a few years. Now you are obsessed with making money, and of course I will not stop you. But have you ever thought about it, after a few years?
, girls of the same age as you have become mothers, or even grandmothers, what are you going to do on your own?
If possible, of course your mother and I would not mind keeping you by our side. But your mother and I are both very young, and your mother has not been in good health since she gave birth to her second child. I was beaten
I had been in a coma for such a long time. After I woke up, I obviously felt that my body was not as good as before.
The two of us will definitely be ahead of you. Your brother will grow up and have his own family in the future. What will you do when you are alone?"
Wen Xia did not expect that in modern times, she had never experienced being forced to marry, but in this era, she would actually be faced with being forced to get married by her family.
Of course Wen Xia knows that although Qin Erzhu has many shortcomings of men of this era, he also sincerely cares about her.
However, Wen Xia doesn't think that the other party's starting point is good, so he has to aggrieve himself for the other party's ideas.
However, the other person was his elder after all, and he was doing it for his own sake, so Wen Xia didn't want to quarrel with him.
Therefore, Wen Xia smiled and said to Qin Erzhu: "Dad, I know you are doing it for my own good. But the current situation in our family is really a bit embarrassing. I want to find a suitable husband for someone who is neither high nor low.
There are really some difficulties at home.
If the conditions of the other party are not good, wouldn't I be wronged if we get married? You and my mother probably don't want me to live a good life at home for a few days, and just suffer the hardships like others.
As for those men from high-ranking families, or very outstanding men themselves, neither their families nor themselves may necessarily look down on our family."
After hearing Wen Xia's words, Qin Erzhu had to admit that what she said was very reasonable.
However, after Qin Erzhu thought for a while, he continued: "What you said makes sense, but it's not okay for you to be in public all day long.
We didn't talk about you when you were doing business before. You were doing business in the city. You came home on time every day. Everyone who came in contact with you would know who you were, and it was nothing serious.
Now that you said you want to go out with the caravan, you will be gone for a few days, or even more than ten days. The caravan is basically composed of men. If you stay with them for such a long time, even if we are all
You know, you won’t do anything out of the ordinary, and other people don’t know.
If this thing about you gets out, will your reputation still be there? By then, let alone marrying high, even the people you despise now may have thoughts about you."
Wen Xia did not expect that Qin Erzhu would say such reasonable and well-founded words.
She was willing to talk so much to Qin Erzhu today because she saw that Qin Erzhu was her elder and he really cared about her.
However, this does not mean that Wen Xia is willing to change his mind for Qin Erzhu.
"Dad, I know what I want to do. The reason why our family can live a pretty good life in Fucheng now is because of this beauty salon.
You have never been exposed to this kind of business, so you probably don’t know how many people in Fucheng want to own this beauty salon.
The reason why this beauty salon is still in my hands is because there are too many people who want it, and they are wary of other competitors, so they have not used strong methods to invade our beauty salon.
However, this balance can be maintained for a short period of time. After a long time, this balance will be broken. How can a family like ours with no foundation or connections be able to defeat them.
When the time comes, our beauty salon cannot be saved. These people may not do anything to our family in order to eradicate the roots. By then, let alone that we will not be able to continue living the wealthy life we have now, we may not even be able to live the life we had before.
Not on.
Also, when the second baby is in the academy, he may be targeted by the children of these families. The second baby is so talented in studying, wouldn't it be a pity if he was delayed because of these things?
I also want to live a life of wealth and leisure, but the current situation does not allow it."
After hearing Wen Xia's words, Qin Erzhu's expression suddenly became more serious.
Although Qin Erzhu's mind is still flexible, he has only lived in the countryside for at least several decades and has not seen much of the world.
He didn't know whether what Wen Xia said was true or just to excuse himself. However, he did not dare to gamble. Once something went wrong, their family's good life would come to an end.
"Mother Xia, must you go? Otherwise, how about you find someone else to go for you? Or, if you are worried about other people, you can find someone who understands this aspect, and I will take them
Let's go together." Qin Erzhu glanced at Wen Xia and said with some hesitation.
Hearing Qin Erzhu's words, Wen Xia couldn't help laughing, "Dad, if beauty salons in other places have opened, anyone can go.
However, now that beauty salons in other places have not even set up a framework. You said that I can safely let outsiders use the name of our beauty salon to contact people from other places, or should I safely let outsiders use the name of our beauty salon and contact people from other places? Or should I safely let the people inside the beauty salon
The secret recipe, given to those who may betray our family at any time?
As for you, dad, of course I believe you. However, you don’t understand anything about our beauty salon. If you let me go, you won’t be able to deal with so many people, right?
So, I really have to get over this matter, and no one else can."
After hearing Wen Xia's words, Qin Erzhu sat there and thought for a long time. He had to admit that what Wen Xia said was very reasonable.
After thinking for a while, Qin Erzhu said to her: "Then, when you leave, I will go out with you. Having me as a father accompanying you should be able to block a lot of rumors."
Wen Xia smiled and said, "Dad, you also said that nowhere is safe in this world now. Of course it's good for you to accompany me out, but can you rest assured that my mother is at home?"
After Wen Xia finished speaking, Qin Erzhu hesitated again.
Although he could ask the beauticians from the beauty salon to come and stay with Wen Yulan for a while, Qin Erzhu still felt a little uneasy in his heart.
Qin Erzhu thought for a whole night and still felt that the only way to go was to let Wen Xia go out and expand the beauty salon business.
After analyzing the current situation with Qin Erzhu, Wen Xia finally obtained the right to go out to do business.
