Hou Men Splendid

Chapter 54

Mrs. Zhu Er didn't expect the shop to be sold so soon, she watched Lin Qingran without saying a word for a long time, and Lin Qingran had already let Guanyan in here.

As the most responsible person around Shao Ziyu, Guanyan settled the matter very quickly, and handed over the money for buying the shop and the goods to Lin Qingran and replied respectfully, "Madam, the shopkeepers He and his buddies have already received the money and dismissed, and the contract has been given to them after receiving the money."

Lin Qingran asked Siqin to hand over the remaining silver and two 100 taels of silver bills to Mrs. Zhu Er after selling all the goods, and said with shame on her face, "Second Aunt, I have troubled my uncle to take care of the shop all these years. In the past few years, there is not much money, and it is also the heart of my husband and I."

Compared with the several hundred taels a year of the three shops, what can a mere 200 taels make up for, but the shop has already been sold, and Mrs. Zhu is watching a large amount of money disappear from the account, the expression on her face is wonderful.

After a while, Mrs. Zhu Er scolded Lin Qingran, "You guys are not filial!"

Lin Qingran just doesn't want to keep this shop, so why don't she go to another place to buy a shop with the money she sold? How can she do business with peace of mind if she doesn't find a reason to dismiss those shopkeepers and fellows? .

Sui Lin Qingran said bluntly, "Second aunt, now that my husband and I have married, naturally we can't bother my uncle and aunt to take care of the shop, but we can't do this loss-making business, and we can see if our parents are filial or not." See, my husband and I can't afford it, if uncle and aunt are willing, we can buy this shop and keep it as a memory."

What else could Mrs. Zhu do? She left with 200 taels of silver, still very angry, and asked someone to send her away. Lin Qingran calculated that the silver sold by these three shops was just enough to open two shops.

The shopkeeper can find them again, Pingting Pavilion is her dowry, and she came here after she got married, and Yangshanfang still has her shares. Lin Qingran is planning to open a cloth shop on West Street. In addition, it is lively Some Hefang Streets can open a branch of Pingting Pavilion.

The business of the daughter's temple can't be done in Yanzhou City, but Hefang Street can open. With so many Huafang, there is no fear of no business.

On the second day after Mrs. Zhu left, Shao Ziyu also received an educational letter from the Zhu family, written by his second uncle, the second master of the Zhu family. The main purpose of the letter was to teach Shao Ziyu about his unfilial piety. But he couldn't presume to sell the shop. Naturally, there was also criticism of Lin Qingran, the niece and daughter-in-law, who was too disrespectful to the dead mother-in-law.

However, the shop has already been sold, and Lin Qingran said that these are trivial things, so after taking a look at it, he immediately asked him about the disposal of the shop's silver taels.

"The financial power is in the hands of the lady. How to handle the money properly will naturally be handled by the lady." Shao Ziyu did not forget to compliment her, Lin Qingran gave him a look, "The third room invited a doctor this morning, and the fourth sister-in-law is pregnant. Yes, I'll check it out tomorrow."

It has been more than half a year since Shao Ziming got married. Mrs. Yu was very happy to be pregnant. Lin Qingran brought some things to the third bedroom. Mrs. Yu was very happy with her arrival, so she took her to sit down. "I think you are newly married. You and your husband are just cultivating your relationship, so I didn't go to see you." There is not much difference in age, and Yu is very close to Lin Qingran. It's home now, come and sit if you have time."

Lin Qingran smiled, "It's good that my fourth sister-in-law doesn't think I'm bothering you. There are a lot of things going on in Chenxiang Courtyard. Although it's just me and my husband, we can't afford to take care of anything that should be busy."

"That's right." Yu ordered someone to change her a cup of tea, "There is my second sister-in-law and mother here, so I'm free."

While chatting, Mrs. Yu talked about the intercourse in the yard, as if she was reminding Lin Qingran, "You will have a body in the future, but please remember to pick two honest and honest ones, and don't mention them too much. Tongfang, the whole Shao family has the same rules."

Lin Qingran said softly, "Yes, I didn't hear that."

"I don't mention it, my mother-in-law will tell you when the time comes, you mention the person you can trust, and you can manage it even if you have a child in the future." Yu Shi just got pregnant, so she taught Lin Qingran Based on experience, she can't be said to be wrong. She is pregnant and can't serve her. The reason to open up the room is to meet the needs of her husband. This is one of the necessary conditions for a qualified wife.

"It's too early to say." Lin Qingran smiled, and Yu Shi gave her a look, "It's too early to get married. I picked it earlier, and it's only a matter of time."

"So the fourth sister-in-law is going to make a fool of the maid." Lin Qingran turned the topic back to Shi Yu herself, and Shi Yu nodded, "Yes, my mother's family prepared it before I got married, and we came here together as a dowry. The deed is still in your hand, even if you open your face, you can't give this body deed, remember."

Lin Qingran could only chuckle, the fourth sister-in-law had already prepared how to clean up the concubine's room before she got married, and the fighting power in the back house was full.

"Just wait until he finds a concubine he likes." Yu finally sighed, glanced at her belly, and didn't worry about anything once she became a man.
Back at the Chenxiang Courtyard, washing at night before going to bed, but Lin Qingran remembered what the fourth sister-in-law said in the third bedroom during the day, stretched out her hand and pushed Shao Ziyu away, sat up on the bed, stared at him fiercely "You said, are you going to wait for me to take a concubine after I get pregnant?"

Shao Ziyu was taken aback, seeing half of her fragrant shoulders exposed by her faded collar, his eyes darkened, and he smiled, "Why do you think so?"

"The fourth sister-in-law said that this is the rule of the Shao family. If you have a body, you have to open up the room for the maid." Lin Qingran saw him leaning on her chest, stretched out her hand to pull up the collar, and continued to look fierce. stare at him.

"Nothing, this is not the rule in Chenxiangyuan." The more she pulled, the more she was exposed when she fell. Shao Ziyu wanted to push her down, but Lin Qingran blocked her with both hands, "Then what is the rule in Chenxiangyuan?"

Shao Ziyu squeezed her bulging face with his backhand, pulled her into his arms, and pulled her clothes away from the bed, "What rules are you talking about, that's what rules are."

"I haven't finished yet." Lin Qingran stretched out his hand, and he grabbed it and let it go on top of his head.

"Let me go." Lin Qingran stretched out his other hand, and he let go of the top of his head to hold it down.

Lin Qingran stared at him bitterly, Shao Ziyu scratched her nose lightly, "I don't take concubines."

Then Lin Qingran wanted to say something, but there was no chance
Two months later, at the end of September, Yu's sigh came true. Shao Ziming brought a woman home and said that he wanted to take her as a concubine. It was a woman from Yanzhou that Shao Ziming knew when he was working in Yanzhou City. She is an orphan girl with a clean family background.

When Lin Qingran found out about this in the afternoon, those people had already spread the word. Why did so many people say that the fourth master took a concubine, because the concubine room that the fourth master took was so beautiful.

Lin Qingran listened to Siqi's description and smiled, "Does everyone below say that?"

Siqi nodded. She had never seen a real person before, but she had heard people say it, and everyone who had seen it said it looked good, "They all said it looked like a fairy descending to earth."

The fourth master of the Shao family accepted a concubine who was as beautiful as a fairy descending to earth. Words like this immediately grew wings and flew all over the Shao Mansion. Half a month after Shao Ziming took a concubine, Lin Qingran went to Yu's to make clothes for the children When I went in, I ran into Aunt Ruan, the concubine who had just come out of Sisister-in-law's house.

At the first glance, Lin Qingran was stunned. This is indeed a very beautiful woman, soft and pleasant, and her salute posture is very beautiful. Lin Qingran can even foresee that when she cries, the pear blossoms will be raining, which is very touching. A moving look.

But she felt it was strange, indescribably strange. She was different from many concubines Lin Qingran had seen. Even when she saw such an insolent Aunt Man in the He family back then, she was not as good as seeing this one now. Aunt Ruan came in a strange way.

Suppressing this doubt, Lin Qingran went into the fourth sister-in-law's room.

Yu Shi seemed to be angry, her face was still a little red, when she saw her come in, she hurriedly asked her to sit down, "I thought you came here in the afternoon."

"Look at this cloth." After sitting down, Lin Qingran showed her the cloth she had brought, and Yu held it in her hand, touched it, and smiled, "How did you find it? It's because this cloth is softer. It’s just right for a child to make a bellyband.”

Lin Qingran pulled the cloth away and gestured, "Wouldn't it be better to make a thin quilt, and when he gets older, he can be comfortable on a soft mat."

"I sent people to look for several cloth shops, but there were none. Where did you buy it?" Yu Shi looked at the two pieces of cloth.

"My second sister sent it with pure silk from the south, made by the best master." This was what the Yan family sent to the Jin family at that time. Lin Qingyan took a lot and gave it to Lin Qing Ran and the others sent two horses each.

"It's no wonder it's not easy to buy here, I guess all the good ones will be paid as tribute." Yu said with a smile.

"Fourth sister-in-law, which one do you like, you take one to make a bellyband and a small quilt for the child." Lin Qingran gave her two pieces of cloth to choose, and Yu waved her hand, "How about that, I'll cut it Some are enough for your needs, and you take the rest back, there is too much cloth, you don’t need it, and when the child grows up, he will wear the same one, and it’s not so delicate.”

Lin Qingran pushed the one she touched the most just now to her, "Okay, which child is not the most delicate in the mother's heart, you take it, and keep the rest. If I don't have enough, you can buy it again Ask you to."

"If I refuse again, it's my fault." Shi Yu glanced at her, and beckoned the maid to bring the things up, "Don't let you suffer, you take this thing." In the small brocade box was a pair of Earrings, the beads are not big but the workmanship is exquisite, Lin Qingran accepted it with a smile, "Then I will thank Sisao first."

Mrs. Yu gave her an angry look, "You're so polite, I won't dare to ask for anything from you in the future."

Coming out of the third room, Lin Qingran passed the small garden and wanted to go in and walk around before returning to Chenxiangyuan.

After walking half a circle, I saw a pavilion in front of me. I was about to go around when I suddenly heard a woman sobbing softly, and then a man's low voice came, "Do you still want to go back to the daughter's temple?"

The voice sounded inexplicably familiar, and Lin Qingran was taken aback, as if she knew something extraordinary
