suspected wife

Sun just waited for free pies to drop.

But Qiao Mingjin didn't even glance at her, just pretending that she didn't exist.

And Wan'er doesn't have any blood relationship or any feelings of cousins, she only knows whoever treats her well, she will be close to whomever.

Mrs. Sun saw Mrs. Yu holding Beishu's eyes with a smile, talking to the money-losing girl with a smile, but the little girl didn't understand what Mrs. Yu meant at all.Mrs. Sun watched from the side very relieved.

Think a few nice words will get your son that free pie?

If you expect a four-year-old to understand your twists and turns, you will look down on that money-losing girl.I don't even look at how I treat that girl on weekdays. It's really funny to think that the mother and daughter are being taken advantage of and pay for you.

Seeing that Mrs. Yu was deflated, Mrs. Sun was proud of it, but soon realized that his son didn't get to eat for free.

Immediately, he gritted his teeth and sulked again.

When his son came to make trouble with her again, he slapped his ass cruelly a few times.That Yue Donggen looked at his mother in disbelief, and immediately "wow" turned around and ran away, yelling while running, saying that he was going to find his grandma.

Mrs. Sun watched for a long time, and found that she didn't care about what she said, and she picked up things like a normal person, and occasionally chatted with the villagers.Immediately, he turned around angrily and walked away.

Seeing that his son Beishu was making a lot of trouble, Mrs. Yu gritted his teeth and bought a pack of candies for ten Wen.Seeing that his son was still hanging on the shelf to pick other things, he hurriedly grabbed his son's arm and ran away.

Qiao Mingjin picked out the shelves for a long time and bought a pair of scissors and a pair of embroidery needles.He told the two children a few more words, greeted Sister Xiu, then turned and went home.

Half an hour later, she was cutting cloth for the two children in the house, and was about to make clothes for them, when she heard Ming Qi shouting outside the door: "Sister, Yao shopkeeper wants to ask for a glass of water at our house!"

"Oh, let someone come in then."

When she went out of the room, she saw that Ming Qi and Wan'er had led people into the yard.

Qiao Mingjin's house was built on the outskirts of the village, and it was after lunch.Everyone was resting at home or digging stakes in the woods, but no one passed by.

The shopkeepers who came to the village often went to the folks' homes to ask for water, and filled a pot of hot water when they left. Even if they saw the shopkeeper enter someone's house, no one would say anything.

After Yao shopkeeper finished drinking the tea, he saw that the two children had already played in the backyard.Then he handed Qiao Mingjin a burden.

"This is 20 taels of silver from last month. Sister Qiao has a look."

Qiao Mingjin opened the bundle and looked at it. It was four five taels of silver ingots, so she wrapped the cloth again.

He smiled and asked, "Did you eat lunch?"

"I've eaten, and I brought dry food in the car."

Qiao Mingjin nodded, and brought him a few cakes, watching him grab and eat them without hesitation.Then he said, "I'll make you a pot of hot tea in a bamboo tube for you to drink on the road later. How was the business last month?"

The Yao peddler wiped his mouth twice, raised his face and said to Qiao Mingjin happily: "Business is going well. My brother collected a batch of old clothes in Qingchuan last month. I was lucky enough to move away from a household in a hurry." I bought a lot of good things from the big family, and they shipped them to Linchuan and sold them very well, and I got double the profit! My father and the others were so happy that they couldn't even close their mouths. When my second brother got married, I saw that sister Qiao didn't go, my parents It's a pity."

Qiao Mingjin smiled: "There will be opportunities in the future. I just hope that your business will grow bigger, and I will be able to share the interest every month."

Yao Xiaolang said: "Sister Qiao, don't worry, our family is thinking of sister Qiao's kindness. We will never do the thing of crossing the river and tearing down the bridge."

Qiao Mingjin nodded, and listened to his report on last month's business...

The name of this Yao peddler is "Yao Ping".He is under eighteen years old and ranks third in his family.There are two older brothers named Yao Fu and Yao Gui who are married, and a younger sister named Yao An.

His father, Yao Guang, was not very old, only in his early forties.In the first few years, I often came to Xiahe Village to carry burdens and sell goods.

This family has been a burden-carrying shopkeeper since their grandparents.

The three brothers, plus the father, the four of them carried two baskets of goods to the villages and alleys to sell them.I haven't read any books, and I don't have any means of transportation. From morning to night, I work so hard, and I can only earn a little money.The family can't afford even mu of fertile land.

Qiao Mingjin had actually known this family for a long time.

When she first married, it was Yao Ping's father Yao Guang who brought his elder brother Yao Fu to the village to sell goods, usually four or five times a month.Occasionally, she also buys some small things from the Yao shopkeeper.

After Yue Zhongyao was arrested as a strong man, Qiao Mingjin occasionally took some silk threads from Yao's shopkeeper, made some small nets and sold them to him.Or for those with one penny and two pennies, you can save hundreds or dozens of pennies a month.

She couldn't save the big handkerchief embroidery after finishing it. Usually, Mrs. Wu took it to the collection and sold it, and Mrs. Wu kept the money when she got it.

Qiao Mingjin could only take the time to make up some small nets, and secretly saved up to supplement her mother's family.

Later, after Qiao Mingjin changed the core, she thought about embroidering some handkerchiefs and making some nets to sell to them.

It's just that she never had that free time. After moving out, she only had fifteen copper coins in her hand, and she needed money everywhere.Firstly, I didn't have the capital to buy the handkerchief and silk thread, and secondly, it was time-consuming and labor-intensive, and I couldn't stop chopping firewood every day.

Later, by chance, she took the job of copying books in the bookstore for Father Qiao, and saw that the job of copying books was still profitable.

At that time, Mr. Lan also helped to copy, and the speed was very fast.A book can also be worth about [-] Wen.And Lan's lower case writing is quite good, Qiao Mingjin felt that grandmother's handicraft should not be wasted.

Later, she learned from the shopkeeper of the bookstore that some wealthy families also had people copy scriptures. Those scriptures were copied well, but they earned more money than copying books in bookstores.

The children of those rich families talk about piousness, saying that they want to copy the scriptures to worship the Buddha, but how many of them copied it by themselves?

It's the same as dowry embroidery, where others just add a few stitches after finishing it.

The shopkeeper told her at the time that if she wanted to get more money for each book, she might as well buy scriptures and copy them.

Even in temples, there are often jobs where poor scholars are asked to help copy scriptures.

At that time, Yao Ping came to the house to beg for a drink, so Qiao Mingjin asked him to take advantage of the convenience of selling goods to help him ask who needed to copy scriptures.

Don't let him do it for nothing, every time he takes back a copy, she will give him two cents for each copy.

Seeing that he was a little moved, he pointed out a way to make money.

Qiao Mingjin heard that the four of his father and brother stock up goods and carry loads to sell in villages and alleys during the day, and there are mother, sister-in-law and sister at home. There is no land at home, and the three of them usually do some washing at home. Not to mention the hard work, but not much money.

Qiao Mingjin instructed him to prepare some rouge powder, hair kerchief, balm soap, or novels to sell in the homes of rich people, and sell them to the ladies who are bored at home.

Nowadays, women rarely show their faces outside, and women from rich families don't even leave the door.

But they are very bored, and they are eager to know some gossip outside, and they are also eager to go to the street to pick up goods like ordinary men or daughters of small households, and enjoy the fun of bargaining.

Besides these wives and ladies, there are also many servants and maidservants who can't go out in the big family's house.

It was fertile land waiting to be cultivated.

So some aunts and six wives aimed at this market and won the welcome of these housewives.

The two generations of the Yao family were all merchants, and they walked the streets and alleys, heard what they heard and saw, so they knew who liked what goods better than these aunts.

Qiao Mingjin only dialed in this way, and then Yao Ping understood.

He was already a brainy man, and every time he came to Xiahe Village, he was sweet-mouthed and sharp-tongued, and he sold several times as much as his father and two elder brothers every time.He said that he obediently paid for things that others didn't need or didn't like.

Qiao Mingjin instructed him to ask his mother and sister-in-law to prepare some goods needed by women and sell them in those mansions, and he immediately understood.

He bowed and thanked him, and ran back non-stop with his dangling burden.

After a few days, not only did he help Qiao Mingjin get the job of copying scriptures from a wealthy family, but he also bought a bunch of things to thank Qiao Mingjin.

It was only a few days, and the money her mother and her sister-in-law sold in the big family was what their father and brother together earned in a month.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law not only sell things, but also gossip about the market, what new rumors happened in which house and where, and learned it vividly to the ladies in the house, and they won a lot of rewards.

The purses of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are bulging, and they can't help feeling fluttering when they walk.

The ladies are happy, and the gentlemen are even more happy, and they don't have to worry about the money for stocking up.

Even the youngest girl in the family has enthusiastic people to help matchmaking, and soon pointed out a good relationship...

Later, Qiao Mingjin asked Yao Ping to send back the scriptures copied by her grandmother and father.

Afterwards, Yao Ping helped two temples in Qingchuan County also take on the long-term work of copying scriptures...

Over and over again, Yao Ping also became familiar with Qiao Mingjin...

After Qiao Mingjin learned that the dream of two generations of their family was to save money to open a small grocery store, she began to pay attention.

They intentionally pointed Yao Ping a few times, which made their Yao family's business even better, and they believed and trusted Qiao Mingjin even more.

Later, after Qiao Mingjin sold the abacus and got money, she formally approached Yao Ping to discuss cooperation.

She is willing to give Yao Ping 100 taels of silver as the capital, as her investment money, so that they can prepare some better goods and do business in farther places.

And no matter how big their Yao family's business is in the future, she only counts on the capital of 100 taels, and she only needs to share a bonus of 20 taels every month for three years, and she has to sign a document at the Yamen.

Qiao Mingjin counted Yao Ping's load of things, even if the father and son usually carry the burden of selling, the family property would not exceed 50 taels.Not many.Otherwise, I wouldn't have saved up for two generations and didn't even have the money to rent a shop.

After Yao Ping went back, he brought his father and brother over the next day. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
