It happened that the stall owner came over with a bowl of wontons and placed the wontons in front of Su Xubai. Xie Chengyin smiled and said: "Your mother is really powerful. Your sister-in-law's mother came to the door and made trouble several times. In the end, she could only look at her daughter.
Being punished!"
Su Xubai couldn't help but frowned when he thought of this.
The stall owner placed the wontons in front of Su Xubai and said, "Young Master, use it with care!"
The wontons are very fragrant, and a bite of them is really warming at this dawn.
"Your father worked his way up from a thousand households step by step, and your mother had enough bones with him, and she felt proud after she got her royal title. But the family spirit in her heart can't be changed overnight!" Xie Chengyin shook his head, "Yours
I just keep that little girl by my side, and it wouldn’t be enough to see her in the capital. If you want her to live a better life, it’s better to hide her in this small place!"
Su Xubai looked at the wontons in front of him and said nothing.
"Why, you can't bear to leave her here alone?" Xie Chengyin was a little surprised, "Su Xubai, are you still the Su Xubai I know, the one who is not close to women?"
Su Xubai raised his head and glanced at Xie Chengyin: "When did I say that I am no longer close to women?"
Xie Chengyin was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Well, Su Xubai, Su Xubai, there are so many ladies in the capital waiting for you, the beauty scout, who refuses to marry. You can't even look down on any of them. I didn't expect that.
, I was actually fascinated by a little peasant girl here. I’m really curious about what kind of look this girl has!”
"She is different from those people!" Su Xubai lowered his head and looked at the bowl of wontons in front of him.
Xie Chengyin raised his eyebrows slightly, becoming more and more curious: "She is just an ordinary farm girl. Even if she looks better, how different will it be? There are not only so many types of women in the world, they are unruly and willful, virtuous and dignified, and so on.
Or Xiaojiabiyu, how different can it be?"
Su Xubai thought for a long time, and then said: "What about the Crown Princess?"
"What?"
"Then what difference does being a princess make to you?" Su Xubai raised his head and looked at Xie Chengyin, "I think you tried so hard to marry her and almost couldn't keep your position. At that time, you would rather give up.
The world is not willing to let her down, so why?"
Xie Chengyin was speechless. After a long time, he smiled bitterly: "She is different!"
The two people looked at each other, and after a long time, they looked at each other and smiled.
"Really, I can't tell you what's good about her, but she has to be the one!" Xie Chengyin sighed, "I guess I owe her everything I owed her in my previous life, and I have to pay it back in this life!"
Su Xubai ate the wontons one bite at a time: "Actually, I can't say what's good about her. In the past, I always thought that the so-called love at first sight was just love at first sight. However, if it were her, I would be willing to bear the reputation of love at first sight.
"
Xie Chengyin looked at Su Xubai for a long time, and finally said: "It goes without saying that she is a little beauty who will conquer the country, but I remember that your mother has already had her favorite daughter-in-law, and it is taboo for you to have a concubine before you are married. Your mother
You will definitely not be able to tolerate her, and you are still young and she has no financial background, so you cannot protect her!"
"Take the risk and give it a try!" Su Xubai smiled, "It's better to give up if you try. You can give up the world. Is it possible that I can't give up this little bit of wealth?"
Xie Chengyin laughed: "Okay, okay, okay, I really have to take a look at this little beauty who makes you give up your wealth!"
When the two reunited after a long separation, Su Xubai didn't find it strange that they didn't mention anything about court and only talked about personal matters.
We all know each other's character well, so we won't find anything strange.
Chengchun slept until early the next morning, and then Hongdou woke up again: "Madam, get up quickly, I have to go to the shop on the street to check the accounts today. If I stay later, I won't be able to finish the whole day.
!”
She slept very deeply that night, and when she woke up, she still felt groggy. She had a dreamless night, but she was more tired than usual: "Where is the Fifth Master?"
"Silang said that the fifth master had gone out to do errands early. He heard that some new goods had arrived at the pier, and the fifth master went to see them!" Hongdou prepared some washing water for Chengchun. Seeing that she was drowsy, she couldn't help but feel nervous, "Mrs.
But I feel uncomfortable, and my face doesn’t even look good!”
Chengchun shook his head and took the handkerchief handed over by Hongdou: "I think I slept for too long last night. If I sleep too much, I will inevitably have a headache. Please help me make a pot of strong tea. Drink some and you will feel energetic!"
"
Hongdou hurried away.
Because he had to go to the shop to check the accounts, Chengchun still had to tidy up. After all, he couldn't let the shop steward look down upon him.
After putting on makeup, changing clothes, and drinking a cup of strong tea, Chengchun finally felt that his head was not so dizzy, so he got up and went to the shop with Hongdou.
Although it is just an auxiliary courtyard, this courtyard also has its own property. In addition to the purchased fields, there are also several shops. It happens to be a good year, and each shop is generating revenue. It is inevitable that the stewards will be a little excited.
He was arrogant and looked down upon this new housekeeper.
So a few days in advance, Hongdou told Chengchun in detail what kind of business each store would do, what kind of temperament the manager would have, and what kind of background he would have. Everything was ready.
Only then did he dare to come to the house to check the accounts.
The first place Chengchun went to was a grain store. In addition to selling some grain produced in his own fields, he also resold some grain from other people's families.
In good years, grain shops are always the least profitable. The grain collected at low prices is always stored in the warehouse. Su Xubai said long ago that when the price of grain is low, no matter how much, just harvest it. Logically speaking, it should have been long ago.
There was a loss, but the person in charge was a capable man. The grain collected at a low price was not easy to sell during the good years here, so he divided the harvested grain into good grains and resold them to wine and vinegar shops.
Although I can't make a lot of money, I don't lose money either. I can manage the business of the clerks in my shop while I'm having a hard time.
The person in charge was a fair and fat middle-aged man named Wang. When he met Cheng Chun, he was also kind and gentle. He didn't seem to be an honest person, but he wasn't the kind of calculating person who was obsessed with profit.
Chengchun looked at Li Yin who was in charge and frowned slightly: "Why is it lower than the store next to it?"
"Manager Wang has been working with the Fifth Master for a long time. The whole family depends on the Fifth Master for support. He works honestly and responsibly and is not greedy. That's why the Fifth Master entrusted him with the most important food store!"
Hongdou whispered in Chengchun's ear, "Although he doesn't have much money, he still shares the bonus from the shop every year!"
