After Mrs. Wei left, Lu Fenghe still couldn't hold it back and went to Qin Ling'er to complain.
Qin Ling'er was very pleased, "You finally stopped being a living Bodhisattva."
Lu Fenghe smiled bitterly, "I really want to be a living Bodhisattva. If Shen Nanxun does this, let alone make money, sooner or later I will lose all my money."
"It can't be lost, it can't be lost. Don't underestimate the Shen family. After all, the Shen family is the founder of the country and has lasted for hundreds of years. How can it be that they don't have any wealth?"
Lu Fenghe is still clear about the Shen family's family background. Although they have a fiefdom and a lot of salary, they also have a lot of people to support. They have to give money to the military camp every year, but what she can get is in her hands. The bad thing is just a little bit that the Shen family can put on the table.
After all, as Qin Ling'er said, with so many years of history, the flowing water of the prince, and the iron-clad prince of Dingxi County, the Shen family should have a lot of wealth.
But, so what, what does it have to do with her.
Lu Fenghe only cares about the things in front of him.
"Yesterday your brother told me that he wanted to go to Kuizhou together." Qin Ling'er said.
"What did you say, do you want to go?"
"You brothers and sisters are definitely going, and I want to go too. Anyway, I have nothing to do if I stay at home, but if I go, the fourth sister-in-law will be the only one left, and most likely she won't want to go. "
"Ask?" Lu Fenghe suggested.
"Are you going to be a living Bodhisattva again? You are changing places. If your eighth brother doesn't go, I won't be happy to go either."
Lu Fenghe was scratching his head again. He couldn't do it alone at home, and he couldn't take him with him.
"Then let her take the children to Kyoto. Yes, we will walk through the canal and go to Kyoto first. We will see the fourth brother, and let the fourth sister-in-law and Brother Chi and Sister Qing stay in Kyoto for a while while we wait for our mother to be sent to Kui. After leaving the state, return to Kyoto and pick them up again."
Qin Ling'er agreed very much, "It's a good idea. Mom can also see fourth brother."
Lu Fenghe didn't have any objections to her departure. Anyway, she was just an idler, so Brother Bao, Er, and Sister Zhen took her and left.
"I'll talk to my fourth sister-in-law later in the evening to see if she's willing."
If he wanted to leave from Kyoto, Lu Fenghe had other plans, but he still had to look at Lady Lu.
Jinbao and Liuzi came in before dinner to reply. They told them about the results of their visit to the merchants in Piling, and there were some people they could take with them. They asked Lu Fenghe what to do, should they just charge the shipping fee, or buy the goods directly.
"After accepting Jiangning's tea, I don't have much spare money in my hand. If we only accept the shipping fee, we won't need to come forward. We are not a shipping company. Tomorrow you go to Piling Tea Club to apply for a tea business for me."
Lu Fenghe paused, "It's called Nanlan Pavilion."
Since Lu Fenghe has made up his mind to start a tea business, he must follow the rules. Every city, prefecture, and industry has its own guild. If he wants to do business in a tavern, he must register with the guild.
Although this guild, from its members to its president, are all businessmen, it seems to be an autonomous commercial organization formed spontaneously by the private sector, but it is actually not the case.
Guilds are strongly dominated and controlled by the government. Naturally, this control is not to protect the interests of merchants, but to satisfy the government's demands.
It ranges from paying taxes and corvees to government procurement. As long as you want to do business in one place, guilds are always inevitable.
It's just that there are differences in Corso in different places.
For example, in Kyoto Prefecture, there are many government offices in Kyoto, so there will be more extortion and extortion. However, in smaller cities, there are not many officials in the government offices, so there will naturally be fewer officials.
After much deliberation, Lu Fenghe decided to register with the Piling Guild. Although she was doing business as expected, it was not easy for her to enjoy the shade with the big tree at her back.
When Jinbao went to register for Lu Fenghe the next day, a wave of people from Zizhou City and Jiangning Mansion also went to register for the guild, but this was all a story for another day.
Lu Fenghe also asked Jinbao to send a message to Liu Rui in Jiangning, asking him to finish loading Jiangning's goods and go to Yangzhou to take a look at Mrs. Wei's tea, set a price without buying it, and send her a message after reading it.
After handing over Jin Bao, it was almost time for the evening meal. Lu Fenghe led Brother Chen, followed by Sister Zhen who was being held by the wet nurse, to the Zhao family's courtyard.
Although Sister Zhen couldn't eat anything and probably couldn't remember anything, Lu Fenghe would take Sister Zhen with her every time she had dinner at the house and as long as the weather was good.
Just because Sister Zhen is still young, we can't just leave her in the yard while the whole family eats at night. Sister Zhen is also a member of the family and must participate.
When Lu Fenghe arrived, Qin Ling'er had already talked to Mrs. Lu about going to Kuizhou and leaving Kyoto.
Madam Lu Si kept her head down and said nothing, but she did not refuse, which meant that her heart was moved. However, her mother-in-law did not say anything, and Madam Lu Si did not dare to agree.
"It's okay to visit Shiro, but I'm going to say something ugly beforehand. Although there is a house in Kyoto, it does not belong to our family. Besides, Kyoto is no better than others. If you want to live in Kyoto with your children, you can't."
Mrs. Lu Si has been to Kyoto several times, so she naturally knows how difficult it is to live in Kyoto. She still knows her family background well.
Life in Piling was not to say superior to others, but at least it was comfortable and comfortable. Some of the children were educated by their elders, and some were disciplined by the masters of the academy.
This is not necessarily the case when she goes to Kyoto. Kyoto lacks everything except noble and powerful ministers. Her little wealth is not enough, and she has to take care of the children by herself.
"What mother said is that my daughter-in-law knows that if we go to Kyoto first and meet Shiro, if he feels that it is okay for us to stay in Kyoto for ten days or so, we will not leave. If he feels that it is not suitable, we will
Then I went to Kuizhou with my mother, so that the children could see both their father and their grandfather."
Ms. Zhao nodded, "You are still thoughtful."
We will be leaving in a few days. If I were to write a letter to Kyoto, I would definitely not be able to wait for a reply. I would have to go to Kyoto Pier to meet someone before talking.
This matter was settled like this. Now that it was settled, Lu Fenghe had to send a letter to Kyoto in advance.
The prince of Dingxi County is not allowed to leave the capital unless ordered by the emperor, but it is still possible to go to the dock to see his grandchildren. This time I passed by Kyoto. I don’t know when I will pass by Kyoto next time, so I’d better say something to the prince.
When the three children learned that they could go out again, they couldn't restrain their excitement. It was too late to go to the old house at this time, otherwise they would have wanted to run to the old house immediately to show off to their cousins.
The next day, Lu Balang accompanied Zhao and Lu Fenghe to the old house and told Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu about their plan to go out.
The old man pondered for a long time and agreed. He just asked Lu Balang to come over before leaving. Mr. Lu didn't say much, but Lu Balang knew that his grandfather must have a letter that he wanted him to deliver to his brother and father personally.
As for Mrs. Lu, she asked again about Mrs. Lu's trip to Kyoto, "It's really just a temporary stay, why don't you three go to Kyoto too."
Before Zhao could explain, Mr. Lu slapped the table.
