[Rebirth] Deep house raising dumplings

In a few days, Steward Li insisted that the accounts of the two cloth workshops have been reported to the Du family.

Before Steward Li left, Ms. Xi Er taught Steward Li how to count advantages for outsiders.After hearing what the second young lady said, Steward Li suddenly understood. Even though he went to Yuanwai's house, he still forgot all about it, but what he said finally moved Du Yuanwai's heart a little.

Everything was as Wan Xiang expected, Du Yuanwai was struggling to get fabrics, and when he was preparing for the printing and dyeing business, he had set his sights on Xi's cloth shop, but it was a pity that he sent someone to talk about it, but the door was closed.Now that it's delivered to your door, is there any reason not to accept it?

However, Mrs. Du is cautious, how can there be such a good thing as a pie in the sky?What can you send if you think about it?She stopped Master Du, and accepted the account book with a smile on her face, saying that she would study it carefully in the next few days, and give an answer in three days.

Du Yuanwai has already made up his mind to swallow these two cloth workshops. He has already thought about it. The shopkeeper's business method will definitely pay back the capital within four to five years, and it can also make a lot of money.

What's more, he sent someone to check it out. It is true that the cloth workshop still has a room full of inventory, and the whole cloth workshop is quite imposing. It can be seen that it is an old shop that has been in operation for several years, and it has a good reputation in the past.What's more, Du Yuanwai was not in the town before, so he didn't know about the fact that the cloth shop was seized due to the discovery of the smuggler's palace silk. , only as a woman, with short-sightedness.

Besides, it was the daughter-in-law's natal family, so Du Yuanwai took it for granted that the Xi family would never pay attention to their own family members, and they must be trying to complement each other so they planned to sell the two cloth shops that they couldn't control.

Mr. Du seems to have forgotten the fortune teller's warning early in the morning that "this year is unfavorable, and it is not suitable for money exchanges. It is best to stay at home and raise it". Thinking of these two cloth shops, they are like two fat pieces of meat, just like Du It is a stepping stone for the family to make a comeback and reproduce the glorious moment of the rich.Now that this stepping stone has been actively laid under his feet, how can there be any reason not to step on it?

In this way, also with selfish intentions, Du Yuanwai went to Xi's house in person and agreed to the deal.

Mrs. Du had no choice but to complain and feel that the old man who used to always think things through beforehand, how could he suddenly get excited when he met cloth workshop printing and dyeing?In the end, the person in charge of the Du family had to be an outsider, so she had to reluctantly agree, but she always felt a little fuzzy in her heart.That's all, but it's only 200 taels of silver, and the Du family can still afford the money. According to the master's plan, maybe they can really pay back within four or five years.

The money transaction had to be done in the bank, so Boss Du went to the bank with Miss Xi Er.Along the way, he heard that his son had made an agreement with the bank in the past. In order to get the 300 taels of silver out of the bank, he staked his share of the bank's one-year turnover surplus. The boss readily made the decision, and included the split in the current transaction of acquiring cloth workshop and canceled it.

After happily holding the deeds of the two cloth workshops, Boss Du returned home and planned to let his son who had been idle at home take charge of the two cloth workshops, while he himself went to Yongzhou to purchase some printing and dyeing raw materials.

Not long after, the news spread throughout the Du family.Du Shaokang, who had been indifferent and hadn't heard of it, was taken aback, especially when he learned that his father had canceled the agreement with Miss Xi Er, he felt even more depressed.He still had some delusions about this opportunity, and as a result, he suddenly became a mirror image, completely disillusioned.And I don't know anything about business, and I don't even understand the accounts very well!It's hard to say it directly, so I can only agree half-heartedly, and I'm afraid I will inevitably be blamed by my father for serious business losses in the future.

When the news reached Qingse's ears, she felt emotional for a moment. After all, this cloth shop was taken care of by her mother in the past, and she played with it from time to time when she was young, but now it has returned to the Du family.But she soon realized that this was Wan Xiang's method. 180 taels was not a frighteningly high amount, but it was already almost half of the value for cloth workshops that were in decline. She was able to slaughter so smoothly. The Du family made a fortune, dumped the hot potato like an empty shell to the Du family, and made the members of the Du family willing to do so.

The 180 taels was earned by Wanxiang's way, so Mrs. Xi gave her the right to order.At Xi Wanxiang's young age, what would she do with so much money?

She took the bank note from her grandmother with a smile, and then turned around and gave it to her cousin.In the name of letting her cousin take care of it for her, in fact she gave all of it to Yin Tang. What Wan Xiang thought was that now that her grandmother was weak and was not what she used to be, and Aunt Feng was no longer able to make a big fortune, so the cousin would She is basically the backbone of the family, and besides, she is in charge of the bank. With so much money in circulation, the cousin must have enough money in order to be confident, and Wan Xiang can rest assured.

The 180 taels is almost half of the current family property for the Xi family who only handed over a large amount of confiscated money a few months ago, and this half of the family property has fallen into the hands of Yin Dang.

Although she is as indifferent as usual, she treats her servants with gentleness and humility, treats her elders with respect and courtesy, never thinks highly of herself, and is somewhat proud.But anyone with a discerning eye can understand that in the whole house, the young lady is the most influential person besides the old lady.

Xi Wanxiang was happy to see her sister-in-law's current situation. She thought about it, and it seemed that this was all she could do for her, so that she could behave properly and stand firmly in this family, even if Wanxiang was not around, No one dared to bully her.

Xi Wanxiang seemed to have expected that she would leave the Xi family's ancestral house, she laid out everything she could do for her cousin, and excluded all those who would be unfavorable to her.

In early May, the loquats in Yangmingshan are ripe.It is said that the entire mountain depression is full of loquats, which are yellow and clear, just like the shy eyes of a girl looking back.

I heard from Mama Song that Yangming Mountain contains wind and water, so the seasonal fruits grown are very fresh. The loquat is peeled, and there is a sweet fragrance, the mouth is full of juice, and the refreshing sweetness between the mountains and the wild Between the lips and teeth, the aftertaste is still sweet.

Wan Xiang managed to convince her sister-in-law to pick loquats with her, so she specially asked Jinlian to go with her, and took a big basket, if she couldn't finish it, she would make loquat paste with her sister-in-law.Or soak them in rock sugar water and seal them for a few days, it will be a delicious candied fruit, and it can be stored for a longer period of time.

As the sky was twilight, Wan Xiang cheerfully took her cousin's hand and came out of the house.

She was still wearing the dress of her cousin sister-in-law, a pleated ruyi moon skirt that stretched to the floor, a round collar that was very soft, and the collar and cuffs were embroidered with curling cloud patterns.She said that the sleeves of her cousin's sister-in-law's clothes smelled fragrant and made people feel extra comfortable in wearing them, so she didn't want to let her cousin's sister-in-law make new clothes for her.

It's just that before she reached the small bridge, and before she played splash with her cousin again, Wanxiang saw Zhang's mother walking quickly from the other side of the river with sharp eyes.

Xi Wanxiang's footsteps froze in place, and Yin Chan also saw Zhang's mother.

Mother Zhang has been home to take care of her grandson since the plague, and this time she went to Taimen Town in person again, and she didn't know why.Xi Wanxiang couldn't help beating her heart, she clenched her sister-in-law's hand, as if Mama Zhang's appearance was a signal to separate her from her sister-in-law.

Zhang's mother also saw the three of them. In just half a year, she had aged a lot, and her formerly vigorous steps seemed a little awkward.As soon as she saw Miss Xi Er, her slack eyes quickly filled with tears.

"Miss!" Zhang's mother muttered for a while, then she stood on the bridge and called Xi Wanxiang, and then quickly ran closer, stopping in front of Xi Wanxiang, looking at her bewildered face, the muddy tears rolling down into a row of beads , "Miss, madam... madam has gone!"

Mrs. Xi Er passed away only half a month ago.

Xi Wanxiang didn't want to believe at first that her mother was fine during the plague, and she was so healthy that she didn't catch the plague. She even helped her cook medicine and saved the whole town.What, if you say no, it will be gone?

Mrs. Zhang said that his wife’s lung disease has been up and down all the time. Besides, Mr. Xi had contracted a cold and painted and wrote upside down day and night. His wife helped take care of him, and also had to do housework and even the business of the calligraphy and painting shop. He became ill from overwork, which again induced lung disease.The illness came like a mountain, and there was no good doctor in the small town, so she couldn't get over it for a while, from the collapse to the end, it took only three or four days, and she couldn't even rush to let Miss Wanxiang see her mother for the last time.Moreover, Mother Zhang herself only learned of the news a few days after Mrs. Xi Er passed away. She had been taking care of her grandson at home before, so she felt so guilty in her heart that she could not wait to come here.

Xi Wanxiang froze in place for a long time, the mountain stream was clear and the birds twittered, but she lost her voice, as if she had been thrown into an empty and cold cave.The only thing that could be heard was the consoling voice of the cousin's sister-in-law who pressed it against her ear.

This is the first time that Xi Wanxiang has faced the death of a loved one directly, whether it is in the past life or in this new life.

She had never seen Xi Yuanzhen, so she didn't feel much grief over the previous funeral at home.And Mrs. Xi Er is the close relative of Xiao Wanxiang's blood, even if Wanxiang's soul doesn't feel pain, the instinct of her body makes her temple feel like a needle pricking it all the way to her brain, causing all the strength in her body to be pierced. Take away.

Mrs. Xi Er is a pretty good person to Wan Xiang.

She is a woman from the country, honest and honest, kind and kind, and she does her best to Wanxiang. Although she can't give much, has never read a book, and doesn't know much about reason, she has a kind heart. Even an ant couldn't bear to step on it to death.Xuehua stole the little bacon left at home, and she was so angry that she refused to feed the fat cat, but her heart softened after a day, and she poured the leftover half of the fish into the cat's bowl cursingly.

Although she was so stubborn that it was almost foolish to believe that smoking was contagious, and because of this she kept Wan Xiang from getting in touch with Yin Dang, and even hurt Yin Dang, but this was all based on Wan Xiang's safety, and she would rather believe it. Yes, in an unbelievable way, he tried his best to protect his daughter.

Mrs. Xi Er's life is simple and pure, her husband and daughter are everything to her.Marrying and obeying her husband is the full portrayal of her.

Wan Xiang didn't cry, she was a little dazed, she let her sister-in-law hold her tenderly and stroke her bun hair.In retrospect, such a lively person who always leaned against the door frame and smiled at himself, telling me to walk slowly, Wanxiang would frown nervously when she coughed, and the person who blamed herself when she was not full, disappeared like this .

The cowardly loquats were not picked in the end.Wanxiang promised Zhang's mother that she would go home as soon as possible, but before that, she had to do some things, and she still had some people who were worried, so she couldn't just walk away like this.
