Mu Huagui

Chapter 53
The marriage of the third young master has finally been settled. Du Huiniang, the eldest daughter of Mr. Du Jiaru, editor of the Hanlin Academy, has been settled. As soon as Najib passed the eldest wife, he began to discuss the days of Luo Nazheng.

Speaking of it, the elder was not very satisfied with the other party's family background, but the elder lady insisted that if she didn't make this marriage for her son, she would hit her head to death, which forced the elder to let go.

"It's better not to have a prominent family background. Only when my mother's family has no support can I devote myself to my in-law's family. Mrs. Du is only a seventh-rank official in Qingshui Yamen. There are many children in the family. The eldest daughter must not be a pampered daughter. Only in this way can I rest assured that she will take care of her." Qiluo."

The eldest lady spoke her heart to Wang Mama. Wang Mama was chosen by her natal mother to accompany her. At first, she only trusted Mama Li.After a long time, I gradually realized that Mama Wang is good, she is not a talkative but extremely calm minded, she helped her make up ideas several times and it turned out to be right afterwards.

It was only then that she began to trust her very much, and even entrusted her mother-in-law's brother-in-law with a heavy responsibility, entrusting him to take care of her natal family's dowry shop. As a result, when the accounts were reconciled at the end of the year, she made more than [-]% more than before.Since then, the uncle and sister-in-law have become the most confidant stewards of the eldest lady.

"Madam is right. This old slave is watching with cold eyes. I feel that the master is also thinking of the young master. He is definitely not questioning your decision." Mama Wang persuaded. The love she had when she first entered the mansion was gone.

"Oh, there's only so much I, a mother, can do for Qi Luo, as long as she doesn't hate me..." After finishing speaking, she lowered her head and began to cry again.

Some persuasion was necessary, and Mother Wang said patiently, "When the girl grows up, she must be sensible, and the old slave sees that the spirit of the lady has improved a lot during this time, and she rarely gets sick again. There will be a day when she fully recovers." .”

"One day, I won't ask for anything." The lady stopped crying, and called Hongfu to ask about Qiluo's daily diet. Knowing that her appetite has improved a lot recently, she was also very happy and felt settled. The Du family made a very correct decision.

Chen Jiao'er took advantage of the many happy events in the Chen residence these days, so she asked for leave and took Cherry to see Mother Su.It was the first time she came from the shop at home, Chen Jiaoer stood outside the gate, looked and looked, with indescribable joy in her expression.

A half-grown boy came out with a bow and said with a smile, "Does the girl want to see the fabric or the embroidery? Our embroiderer here came from the palace, and all the embroidered things have been sent to the palace. You will definitely not be surprised if you take a look." It's a false trip."

Cherry smiled "puchi" from behind, and wanted to talk, Chen Jiaoer glared at Cherry with her eyes, and said a little reservedly, "Then, let's go in and have a look."

Sitting at the counter was a shopkeeper who was over fifty years old. When he saw someone coming in, he raised his eyelids to take a look, and then let the young man receive him.After looking at the fabric and then the embroidery, the shopkeeper raised his eyelids several times from large to small pieces, but the boy didn't feel a little impatient.

Touching the familiar embroidery, Chen Jiaoer frowned and said, "The embroidery in your family is all embroidered by one person."

"Girl has good eyesight. This is the most famous golden needle embroidery in the south. She is especially good at portraits. Do you think the Buddha's eyes look alive?" The young man explained the golden needle embroidery with great effort.

"Don't you have any other embroidery besides gold needle embroidery?" Chen Jiaoer asked suspiciously, because she was afraid of Mama Su's hard work, and specially emphasized that she should try to do as little as possible by herself, and ask two embroiderers or collect some embroidery to sell.Unexpectedly, there were still only Mama Su's embroidery in the shop. Thinking of so many items, Chen Jiao'er felt sorry for Mama Su.

"Young lady is here to sell embroidery. Let me tell you first. Our store only has high-quality goods, and we don't have inherited embroidery skills. We don't accept female celebrities in ordinary boudoirs." The shopkeeper finally raised his head and was very serious to Chen Jiao'er. Said.

Chen Jiao'er, who was about to speak, saw that there seemed to be guests coming in outside the door, so she closed her mouth and said to the young man, "Go and greet other guests first, I'm here to see Aunt Su."

Hearing the front, the young man felt a little melancholy knowing that the transaction was going nowhere, and also heard that he was looking for Mrs. Su. He didn't know what to do for a while, so he looked at the shopkeeper behind the counter.

Hearing that he was looking for the boss, the shopkeeper stood up and asked, "I don't know why the girl is looking for Mrs. Su."

"You just say that our girl's surname is Chen, she naturally knows." Cherry jumped out and said impatiently at the shopkeeper's words earlier.

The shopkeeper glanced at the two of them, and walked through a door. After a while, Aunt Su's voice came in, "Miss, you are here. The old lady said that she will find a chance to greet you in the next two days."

"Mom, it's better to invite the lady in first." Seeing that the man had introduced someone, Cherry hurriedly said to Su's mother.

"Yes, yes, let's see how my old lady can let the young lady sit here and talk." As he spoke, he walked in front and picked up the curtain. Ms. Chen, the owner that Aunt Su said.

Recalling what I said just now, it seemed a little offended, but there was nothing wrong with it.And at the beginning, the other party didn't reveal their identity. Thinking about it, they shouldn't get angry over such a trivial matter, but they felt a little uneasy.

Mother Su directly led Chen Jiao'er into the inner courtyard prepared for her. There was a living room in the center, a bedroom to the west, a study to the east, and there was another hut where the maid lived beside the bedroom. "Everything is new. The old lady has to clean it every day. The man in my house just sweeps the yard, but he has never been allowed in the back room. Feel it, the wood is of the best quality, and it is calm."

Chen Jiao'er kept nodding her head, "I like this study, from now on I will lean on the Arhat bed to read books, have a snack and drink tea." Thinking of one day, lying here comfortably, basking in the sun and drinking tea, I can't help but smile Eyes full of overflowing.

"You don't need to wait later, miss, sit down, I'll make tea and buy some snacks when I come back." Mother Su pressed Chen Jiao'er on the Arhat bed, and quickly brought tea and snacks.

"Da Zhuang asked Da Zhuang to buy the dim sum on the street. Miss Jiang will eat some." Mother Su let Cherry sit down again, and took a round stool to sit beside the bed.

"Mom, let you collect some embroidery and sell it. I think it's all yours. How much effort it will take. Look at your eyes. After talking to us for a while, you have shed tears a few times. If you Why don't you take care of yourself, I don't care if I don't open this shop." Chen Jiao'er began to observe from the moment she saw Mama Su, her eyes were obviously a little more swollen than the last time she saw her, and she kept crying, she could see it with her eyes Too much result.

Seeing that the young lady was really angry, Mother Su quickly waved her hands and said, "Miss, don't misunderstand, it's not that the old woman doesn't accept the needlework, it's really not good. It can't be that there are no embroidery products in the embroidery shop. Once the old lady finds a suitable embroiderer, I won't embroider any more."

"Let's not talk about that, who invited the shopkeeper, he knows how to do business." Chen Jiao'er said again.

"Well, the old lady is about to tell you about this too. The shopkeeper managed to manage the embroidery shop for ten years before, and he managed to find it with great difficulty. But because of his temper, Da Zhuang thought about some ideas, and he said that this is the capital city. ,so……"

Su's mother said it politely, but Chen Jiao'er knew that Su Dazhuang was famous for his good temper, and he must have negotiated with the shopkeeper in a good manner, but the other party immediately pushed back.

"What idea is Uncle Su thinking?" Chen Jiaoer asked carefully, Su Dazhuang used to work as a clerk in Silk Forging Village, but he never worked as a clerk in the shop after Chen Jiaoer's parents came to the capital. Although there is loyalty, there is something to be done Business is not just about being honest and honest.

Mother Su thought for a while and said, "Da Zhuang wants to go to the countryside to have a look around. If there is any needlework done well, let them send us embroidery once a month, and pay according to the quality and size. In this way There are more patterns, and the guests have more choices.

There are also embroidered handkerchiefs with our family's signboard on them, and give them to the maids of rich families.Although it is a free gift, Da Zhuang said that if more people know this way, the business will be better in the future. "

For fear that Miss would blame them for being prodigal, Mother Su explained.

"Have you signed a contract with that shopkeeper? Let me have a look." Chen Jiao'er couldn't help but feel a little pleasantly surprised. At the beginning, Mama Su and his wife were not allowed to be shopkeepers in public. I have the mind to specialize in the art industry, and I always think that the shopkeeper I invite is familiar with the local conditions and should be able to make more profits.

But I didn't expect Su Dazhuang to be capable, and this thought alone is already very insightful.

Su's mother didn't understand what it meant, but she still found out the contract and offered it with both hands.

"Ten taels of silver a year, and [-]% of the income at the end of the year as a bonus. Humph, it's just him." Chen Jiao'er looked at it, shook her head, and said, "Is Uncle Su here?"

"Yes." Mother Su nodded hurriedly.

"Let Uncle Su and the shopkeeper talk in the living room." After speaking, Cherry helped Chen Jiao'er out of bed, and handed her the shoes to put on for her.

Seeing this, Mother Su went out and called the shopkeeper and Su Dazhuang to talk, and only now did she really know that the young girl in front of her was indeed the boss.

The shopkeeper couldn't help being overjoyed.Look at the Su family couple, but one can embroider and the other can do a little physical work, and they are both trusted by the boss.After showing off by myself, I don't have to worry about coaxing the little girl to give him the money.But he didn't know that his performance just now had been disgusted by Chen Jiao'er.

Seeing the shopkeeper's complacent expression, Chen Jiao'er sneered in her heart, did she really think she didn't understand anything? She took the account book and said, "I came today for no other purpose. Although I trust the big guy, I can't help but care about my shop. Let's talk about it. Why don't Uncle Su talk about his income for the past two months."

Su Dazhuang didn't take the account book, and fluently reported the quantity and price of the purchase and sale, and finally calculated the profit for two months as a total of three taels of silver.
