in charge

"It's not fun, it's self-defeating." Qiu Sanniang told the little girls and came over to talk to Mo Zi. "Can you still laugh? They agreed to leave you alone. If it were me, I would be so anxious to smoke."

"Don't worry, it's justifiable for them to do this. Once a man becomes an official, suddenly they want to listen to me and a woman. It's inevitable that they will resist. Anyway, as long as the emperor doesn't take back his will, he can always deal with it. I'm anxious, It's because I'm not comfortable. In the current situation, it's obvious that I am comfortable and they are not." As long as she keeps her official hat, it will be fine.

"It seems that this is the way to be an official. I have to ask Mr. Mozi for advice." Xiao San entered the room with a smile on his face, "Sanniang, I'm back. When I entered the gate of our house just now, I found that the lamp was lit at night to follow me." It looks like a fairy palace, more spiritual than it looks in the daytime. The new home and the new atmosphere, the more I look at it, the more I feel that it is a good thing to separate the government. Anyway, it will come out when the eldest brother or the second brother inherits the title. It is better to write it as soon as possible. I Mother said, it’s a good thing you live close, and I praise you for being considerate. I thought, if it wasn’t so close, we wouldn’t have easily allowed us to move.”

"Even if it's across the street, I'm still living my own life." Now that Qiu Sanniang has moved out, she's in a good mood, and she talks frankly with Xiao San, "By the way, I'll have someone tidy up the front garden. Invite your friends to come and have a lot of fun every day, and if you want to start a poetry club and book club, you can do whatever you like, I don't care."

"Invitation is necessary, to add prosperity to the new home. The Poetry Club and Publishing Club are exempt. Now that the family is separated, I have to take on the burden of supporting the family." Xiao San looked serious, and when Qiu Sanniang wanted to speak, he said, "Three Mother, you like to do business, and I won’t stop you, but those are all your private houses. Father gave me several villages, and the government also allocated five rice and salt shops. I have already written to let the village heads Come here, I've seen the shop, and I'll replace it with a few accountants I chose to help with my own expenses this year. If there is still a suitable business, I will look at the purchase. If you have any ideas, tell me Let me tell you. You know more about business than I do, so I will hand over the account books to you. If there is any leftover, I will make up for the cost of buying the house first."

Mo Zi blinked and she said that although Xiao San didn't think it was reliable, he had a clear mind at the critical moment, and it was still good.No wonder Qiu Sanniang fluttered so much, she finally gave in and became the third grandmother of Xiao willingly.At least, both of them are trying to live a good life on the ground.So, don't worry too much about good and bad things in the past.

Qiu Sanniang smiled brightly, "I don't care about your bills. I don't have time to care about my own family and outside affairs. You have to support your family, so of course you have to work hard. It's good to learn these things. I think my father-in-law understands these things very well. Who can fool him? The mother-in-law decides the small things, but he has to nod for the big things. He is still a general. I don’t know how much more busy he is with official affairs than you.”

"That's why my father always said that none of our three brothers is like him, either they can only lead soldiers, or they can only lead soldiers." Xiao San nodded again, "I'll give it a try."

"Mo Zi, he has practiced his abacus very well now." Qiu Sanniang covered her mouth and smiled, "All the books are thrown into my room, who doesn't know that Mr. Xiao has always loved books like his life, and the good books he cherishes are not published. upstairs."

Mo Zi's Flower God Biography asked, "Is this the book?"

"Hey, why did the Legend of the Flower God come into your room?" Xiao San was not in a hurry to take back the precious book, "It must be that kid Bai Hu forgot to clean up. He is good at everything, but he is sloppy. It's a headache." Qing Que was implicated by Jinsi's incident, and had already been taken back by her family, and the younger Bai Hu came up to her.

Mo Zi handed over the book.

Xiao San didn't answer, "I've wanted to show this book to both of you for a long time. I've read tens of thousands of books, and there are very few books that focus on women. Except for Hua Mulan, there are only a few famous ancient legends. Women, only this book tells about women in this dynasty, and it is not those who are prominent, but an ordinary woman. The words are not many but vivid, and the story is not turbulent but plain and warm. The flower-loving woman of Yuling Flower Kingdom, With such a pure heart, he helped the local people improve their lives.”

Qiu Sanniang joked, "Sanlang, if you go on talking, as a wife, you will think that you love that woman deeply."

Xiao San laughed twice, "To be jealous of my wife is to feel complete for my husband."

The relationship between these two people, I don't know when, it is airtight, and no water can leak out.Look at the girls on both sides who are busy making arrangements, all of them are not squinting, it seems that they are used to their masters being so nasty.

Mo Zi has also become a habit of being a light bulb, flipping through the book, "Then I'll borrow it to read first." Flower God, and Dou Lu have some similarities.The same beauty, the same love for planting flowers, and the same kind heart.Thinking of Dou Lu's frequent nightmares, I am a little concerned.

Xiao Sanfang agreed, "Mo Zi, you will come here often in the future. After you left, Sanniang always said that she was bored, and no one asked her to use her brains to fight. Okay, you two sisters talk, I am afraid that Bai Hu will fall again. things, take a look."

After Xiao San left, Qiu Sanniang and Mo Zi also changed to sit in the warm pavilion.

The mother-in-law lit the fire and turned it on, and Mo Zi saw the lights in the garden.It is indeed beautiful, after Qiu Sanniang carefully decorated it.I have never seen her spend any thought on Yongzhai, and she has not even changed a single thing in the Mozhiyuan. After all, this is her home, and she can do whatever she wants.

The little girls served dim sum, they were all new faces, and they called Mo Zi Miss.

"Put the cushions first, and wait for Bai He to come to start the banquet." Qiu Sanniang took a piece of red bean cake by herself, tasted it but it didn't taste good, "I really asked for it, I let it out one by one, but I didn't taste good and I lost the fun."

"Great, I'm your joy." Mo Zi laughed, "Then there are three more? Why don't you let him go, I'll do your job for you."

"I like the new and hate the old, okay?" Qiu Sanniang turned to sigh leisurely, "Is it really wrong to let the person I value be a girl for the rest of my life? It's even more impossible not to let go now. Baihe has been out for two months, and found a fifth-rank Official, I became the wife of an official. If I want to detain the red plums and green chrysanthemums, don’t you blame me for being partial?”

"Bai He has found a good man. It doesn't matter whether she becomes an official's wife or not." Mo Zi didn't care, "If you find a good man for Hongmei and Luju, I won't blame you for being partial. Everyone's fate is different. How could it be possible that they all marry officials? Besides, there are few good people in officials. Jiang Guaner, who is so rare, let Baihe meet, and that is also destined."

"That's right." Qiu Sanniang likes to ask Mo Zi's opinion, just because her words are unexpected but can lead to deep thinking.

"Whose turn is it next?" Mo Zi ate some snacks and felt that her standard was not bad, not as snarky as Qiu Sanniang, "You asked me to eat for this reason."

Qiu Sanniang cast a sad look, "Can't I just invite you here?"

"I have time, but you don't have time." Mo Zi is not afraid of her viciousness, "It's like a bird out of the cage, it can't wait to flap its wings and fly high."

"Don't let them go for now, but I let the Cen family go. Uncle Cen refused to accept it, but finally persuaded Dalang Erlang's contract of prostitution, and I will be an employer from now on. However, I see that you are surrounded by good men. You have a lot of candidates, so please keep an eye out for the red plums and green chrysanthemums." Qiu Sanniang also didn't want to have no one around so soon, so she had to use the newcomers first.

"No, I don't arrange marriages. Be careful, and they are the ones who pay attention." Don't be intimidating, she will no longer participate in choosing a husband casually, "Now you are free to come and go, what do you want me to do?"

"Ah? I forgot." Qiu Sanniang thought it was in the palace, "That's right, from now on, take them around, maybe it won't be long before they are clamoring for marriage."

"You don't care about Xiaoyi anymore?" After talking for a long time, she didn't hear Xiaoyi's name.

"She? She said she won't get married. How should I care?" Qiu Sanniang pouted, "Also, even if I want to care, I have to find someone for her first. I don't know how to climb trees on roofs."

Mo Zi thought about it, and rolled her eyes with a smile.

"Discuss something with you and give me an idea." Seeing Mo Zi's serious expression, Qiu Sanniang said again, "Eating is a business, it's incidental. I want to do the salt business, what do you think?"

"Salt? The sale of salt is banned in Dazhou. Do you still want people to leave?" Mo Zi really admires Qiu Sanniang's courage. She doesn't love risky things, and she will lose money if she does serious business.

"Of course not. Even if I don't care about myself, I have to take care of him." Qiu Sanniang will not go back again.

Mo Zi immediately knew what she meant, "You want to be a serious salt merchant? That's an official merchant!"

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, the sale of salt is prohibited, and all the products produced in various places are put into the designated treasury of the country, and then sold by the government to the designated large salt merchants, who then sell them to various shops.Salt is the foundation of human survival and the foundation of a country, so big salt merchants are limited to government merchants, and big merchants like Min's can only be dealers in three ways.Official business, the way officials do business with the tacit approval of the emperor, only exists in the economic lifeline and special commodities such as salt mines.However, Dazhou had extremely high requirements for officials and businessmen, not only the background and backing of officials, but also strong financial guarantee.Similar to the boat shop, the barriers to entry are extremely high, and once you enter, you will be able to earn endless money.

"First, I have the backing of Prince Jing's Mansion. Second, I have plenty of silver. If you can be a female official, I can also be a female official businessman." Qiu Sanniang's heart has never been lower than that of Mo Zi.

"Since you have made up your mind, why do you ask me why? Although the benefits of government and business are high, there was a war disaster, and they were the first to collect taxes. The risk is high. However, I am not surprised that you always like to fight big with small things." .It's just that you'd better keep something in your back hand, just in case.

I don't know anything about the salt industry. Don't expect me to help you if there are any joints in it.And, as you can see, I don't have any friendship with other officials. "Industry specializing in surgery.

"You can't, but your guy can. I wanted to ask him about the salt merchant, but I was afraid he wouldn't respond. Can you make an appointment with him for me, okay?" Shrewd here.

"My family? Who is it?" Mo Zi squinted her eyes.

This is called pretending to be confused. ! .
