Before she died, Aunt Cui did persuade Sophora japonica. She knew what Sophora japonica's heart was, so she said that while there are in-laws like Cui Sanlang's parents in the world, there are also good in-laws and good husbands.
She also used Shen Xiu as an example, saying that Shen Xiu had met good parents-in-law and husband.
It can be seen that there are still good parents-in-law and good husbands in this world.
Huaihua couldn't deny this matter. Under the gaze of Aunt Cui's cloudy eyes, she finally nodded, "Auntie, if there is a good family in the future, I will marry him."
Now that Shen Xiu mentioned this matter again, Huaihua thought for a moment and said, "Let me think about it again."
"What's there to think about? If I were you and there was such a good marriage, I would definitely agree." Lianniang appeared out of nowhere and said with a smile.
Sophora japonica immediately blushed with embarrassment.
Shen Xiu looked at Lianniang, "When did you come?"
Lianniang said: "I didn't eavesdrop on purpose. It's just that someone from the Meng family has come, and Rou Niang is busy, so she asked me to tell you."
When Shen Xiu heard about the arrival of the Meng family, she remembered that Miss Ninth was going to Beijing for the talent show.
She didn't care what to say to Sophora huaihua, changed her clothes and went to Meng's house.
Sure enough, Miss Ninth's luggage was almost packed and she was waiting to leave for the capital.
When Shen Xiu came, Miss Ninth was looking at the house she had lived in for more than ten years. If she said she was reluctant to let go, she must be. But no matter how reluctant she was to let go, she still had to go to Beijing for the sake of her family.
When the maid came to report, Miss Ninth wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, put on a cheerful look and went to see Shen Xiu.
"I thought you were too busy to come see me!" Miss Jiu said with a smile, "Why are you looking at me like this? Are you reluctant to let me go?"
Shen Xiudao: "Of course I can't bear to part with it. By the way, this is what I prepared." After saying that, he took out a handkerchief from his arms and said, "This double-sided embroidered handkerchief was embroidered by me years ago, and it is also your favorite.
patterns."
Miss Jiu took it with a smile, "Ms. Shen, you are so kind to me. Don't worry, I have already told my grandmother about that matter. My grandmother has already agreed. After I leave, my grandmother will give Caixia together with her deed of sale.
They will be sent to you."
Shen Xiu didn't know what to say for a moment, but she just held Miss Ninth's hand and said, "Miss Ninth, please take care of yourself after coming to Beijing, and don't let us people worry."
"I know." Miss Ninth said with a lively look: "Don't be so reluctant to leave. We will definitely have the opportunity to meet in the future."
Shen Xiudao: "That's right. When the Prime Minister takes the imperial examination, I will follow him to the capital. It is estimated that by then, Miss Ninth will be the concubine of the palace."
Miss Ninth smiled and said: "Thanks to your good advice, I'm looking forward to becoming the prince's concubine!"
Before leaving, Miss Ninth also took out a jewelry box, saying that it contained a pair of hairpins and earrings, and asked Shen Xiu to take them back to reflect on them.
Miss Jiu said: "If you want to see me in the future and the concierge doesn't know you, just give them the hairpin. When I see the hairpin, I will naturally come out to see you."
Shen Xiu then accepted the jewelry box and said, "Okay, after I come to Beijing, I will definitely visit you first."
Miss Jiu smiled and said, "That's what we've settled on."
The first day of February is a good time to travel.
Accompanied by the two young masters of the Meng family, Miss Ninth and her two maids embarked on the journey to the capital.
The day after Ninth Girl left, Qu Huan also rushed back from the provincial capital.
Shen Xiu was not in a hurry to ask him about the situation in the provincial capital. He just asked Rou Niang to prepare more hot water and asked Qu Huan to wash up first.
Qu Huan took a quick bath and changed into clean clothes before going to see Shen Xiu.
Wei Yan was not here, so Shen Xiu specially asked Liu Hao to come and listen in order to avoid suspicion.
Qu Huan's first sentence was: "Brother Wei's friend was right. The cotton fields in the provincial capital were indeed flooded, and a lot of them were flooded, covering hundreds of acres."
"Cotton likes drought but not waterlogging. It rained continuously for half a month in the provincial capital last summer, so the cotton fields were flooded. And cotton is most afraid of rainy days, because it is easy to get insect diseases on rainy days.
.I also specifically went to ask a few farmers and found out that in those cotton fields that were not flooded, cotton production was greatly reduced due to rainy days."
Qu Huan said excitedly: "So the price of cotton in the provincial capital will definitely increase this year. However, although the cotton fields in the provincial capital are flooded, there are still many cotton fields in the surrounding counties. We have to take advantage of it before others know it.
When this news came out, the cotton was shipped to the provincial capital in advance."
Shen Xiu was not as excited as Qu Huan and said calmly: "Then how much money can you mobilize?"
Qu Huan said: "I did the math on the way back. I can almost scrape together eight hundred taels of silver, but this little money is not enough. I plan to tell Luo Gong about this and ask him to come forward as well."
Some capital. Firstly, he has a lot of money, and secondly, he is a member of the government, so he must know where the cotton is better and cheaper."
"You want to tell Luo Gong about this, I have no objection." Shen Xiudao: "I still have two thousand taels of silver on hand. I will give these silvers to you and buy them all into cotton. There is only one, you buy the cotton
When you come back, you must give me all my share of cotton."
"Ms. Shen, don't you plan to transport these cottons to the provincial capital?" Qu Huan asked.
Shen Xiudao: "I really don't plan to transport this cotton to the provincial capital. I have another way to make money."
Qu Huan didn't know what her intention was and wanted to ask, but Shen Xiu refused to tell.
"Just let go and buy cotton. After you buy almost all the cotton, when you transport the cotton to the provincial capital, do me a favor and spread the news that the price of cotton in the provincial capital will definitely increase."
Qu Huan didn't understand what Shen Xiu wanted to do, and wondered: "What are you trying to do, are you afraid that others won't know about it?"
Shen Xiudao: "You don't need to know the reason. Anyway, after those businessmen know the news, even if they want to purchase cotton, it will take a certain amount of time, so they will definitely fall behind you. After they transport the cotton to the provincial capital, your cotton should be all
I've already taken action. Anyway, this matter won't affect your earning money, so just do me this favor!"
Qu Huan felt that Shen Xiu was right, and this incident had indeed no impact on him, so he said: "Okay, then I will help you spread the news when I go to the provincial capital again."
"You remember, the more people who know this news, the better, so that I can act more cheaply."
After Shen Xiu said so much, Qu Huan probably guessed her intention, "Do you want to use the cotton in your hands to hoard it and make a lot of money?"
Shen Xiu said vaguely: "That's pretty much the plan."
She hoarded cotton and earned money secondarily, but the most important thing was to teach the old master and the others a profound lesson.
