my grandmother

Chapter 36
In just two quarters of an hour, Mrs. Yin came over again.

This time, Yin's sister-in-law was very different from just now. The previous time, Yin's sister-in-law was like a blooming flower, but this time, she had turned into a flower bone, with her head hanging down.

Li Xiaonan stood at the door of the kitchen, stretched her head on tiptoes, and looked behind Sister Yin.

Sister-in-law Yin was followed by an old couple. The old man was thin and tall, with thin and gray hair and a similarly thin and gray beard.

The old lady is slightly short, white and fat, with a smile on her face, she looks very kind.

Li Jinzhu hurriedly leaned against the wall, and moved out to meet him in short steps.

"It's not easy to leave, so we won't go in." The old lady stood outside the threshold, stretching her head to look at the eggs all over the yard.

Li Xiaonan followed closely behind Li Jinzhu, and went out to the gate of the courtyard.

"Are you going to do this business for a long time, or do you want to do it for a long time?" The old man asked bluntly, looking at Li Jinzhu with his hands behind his back.

"Then let's see how the eggs sell after they are made." Li Xiaonan answered before Li Jinzhu.

"This little girl is really clever." The old lady sized up Li Xiaonan and praised with a smile.

"This is the merchant's plan. You plan to carry the burden and sell preserved eggs and salted eggs in Manping River City?" The old man gave Li Xiaonan a sideways look.

"That would be too disrespectful. You are a farming and studying family, and there is a scholar in your family." The old lady answered with a smile to smooth things over.

"Yes yes yes!" Li Xiaonan nodded quickly.

"For business, there must be a shop and a workshop. Once it is laid out, can we take a look at it?" The old man continued.

"Then what if we only do business with these eggs?" Li Xiaonan pointed to the eggs all over the yard and asked.

"Just the business of these eggs? What else do you do?

"Workshops are not rented by the day or the month, they are all rented by the year, three to five years are less, and the shop and workshop rented for one or two years are just to sell these eggs? It is not such a waste of money to waste copper. .” The old man frowned.

"You old man thinks, can this business be done? If not, what should we do with these eggs?" Li Jinzhu leaned forward to ask for advice.

"Since your family has moved to our Pingjiang City, if you have no other livelihood, you should open a shop and have some money. She is good at making preserved eggs and salted eggs. The taste is really good. You sisters..."

Lao Tzu looked from Li Jinzhu to Li Yuzhu, to Li Yinzhu, and continued: "It seems that they are all able to endure hardship and work, and this business can be done."

"Then do it for a few years and see." Li Jinzhu glanced at Sister-in-law Yin.

Sister Yin met her gaze and blinked at her.

"Yeah. She doesn't understand. The empty house on the other side of the street can't be used as a workshop." The old man glared at Sister Yin, who shrank her neck in fright.

"What is this area? Over there is the government school! There are many expensive places in Jiangcheng, renting a house in such a precious place to do a workshop, hum!" The old man gave Sister-in-law Yin another look.

Sister-in-law Yin held her breath and bowed her head, not daring to make a sound.

"Since you want to do this business..."

"Do you want to discuss it with your Mr. Xiucai and let Mr. Xiucai make a decision?" The old lady interrupted the old man, looked at Li Jinzhu and asked with a smile.

"My younger brother concentrates on studying and never cares about these things. You don't need to ask him. I can discuss it with my sisters." Li Jinzhu hurriedly said with a smile.

"That's right. You must concentrate on studying." The old man nodded in appreciation, "The most important thing right now is to find a place to make a workshop. These eggs must be salted quickly. The workshop can't be found in the city. The rent here is too expensive, so my boss and I will go outside the city to have a look. After the preserved eggs are pickled, it’s not too late to find a shop.”

As the old man said, he turned and went down the steps.

"Come to my house for dinner tonight, let's have a good talk." The old lady warmly invited her and followed her down the steps.

....................................

Gu Yan didn't pay attention to see how Li Xiaonan's family dealt with the crowd of eggs in the yard.

In the letter from his aunt that Pan Shiyi brought, Mrs. Pan, his eldest brother-in-law's aunt, was feeling depressed recently, and wanted to live in Pingjiang Mansion and their palace for a while to relax, and asked him to take care of her.

Mrs. Pan and his aunt had been the best handkerchief handkerchiefs since they were very young, and they became widows within a few years of marrying into the Shi family.

This Mrs. Pan is bright and humorous. The old lady of the Shi family dotes on her very much. Everyone in the Shi family respects her and takes care of her. There are no relatives and friends who don't like her. How can she be depressed?
In the past, when this happy person lived his whole life, when he was seriously ill and was about to die, it was said that he was always smiling and losing his breath.

This lady came from afar, certainly not because she was depressed.

She came here to make him feel depressed!

Mrs. Pan must be accompanied by Miss Shi, and this trip must be Miss Shi's idea.

Mrs. Pan loves Miss Shi the most, and treats Miss Shi as if she has already seen her. Both Mrs. Pan and his mother think that he and Miss Shi are a natural pair.

He used to think so too.

Now, he forcibly broke off the engagement with Miss Shi, A Niang is not reconciled, Mrs. Pan is certainly not reconciled, and that Miss Shi is even more unwilling.

Miss Shi once found Prince Rui's residence and wanted to question him face to face, but he didn't see her, and he didn't want to see her.

Gu Yan thought about it all night, and was planning to leave for Hangzhou after breakfast. He asked the sixth aunt to come forward, meet Mrs. Pan from a distance, and invite them to Hangcheng to relieve depression.

But early the next morning, when Gu Yan was still eating breakfast, the steward of Shifu entered the gate of Bieye:

Mrs. Pan's boat had already circled the Pingjiang City Wharf, not far from the Bieye Wharf.

After hearing the report from the steward of the Shifu, Gu Yan narrowed his eyes, then opened them in a moment, and calmly replied that he knew.

This is Miss Sister's arrangement.

She likes to catch others off guard, and he admires her ability to control the situation until now.

Gu Yan ordered the servant to call Uncle Hong, and told him that Mrs. Pan was not far from Bieye Wharf.

Uncle Hong was extremely surprised, so he didn't care to ask more questions, so he hurriedly asked someone to bring over the drawings of Bieye, and with suggestions, asked Gu Yan to choose the courtyard where Mrs. Pan lived, and then ordered to tidy up the courtyard and deploy manpower. Go to Bieye Pier and meet Mrs. Pan.

Half an hour later, Gu Yan stood at the Pier of Bieye, waving his folding fan once and for all, watching the large and large ship slowly approaching the dock.

The building boat approached the pier, and the wide gangplank came over. Miss Shi supported Mrs. Pan and stepped on the gangplank.

Gu Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Miss Shi.

Miss Shi wore a thin lotus-colored cloak, supported Mrs. Pan, and looked at Mrs. Pan as if she only had Mrs. Pan in her eyes.

Gu Yan couldn't see her eyebrows clearly.

There's no need to see clearly, he couldn't be more clear about her facial features, and he doesn't want to see her again.
