MTL - The Landlord And His Wife-Chapter 207 : leisure tea

Next to them, Liu Xuer and Shi Cheng were sitting in the row behind Liu Shu and Shao Rong, on the two chairs side by side by the window.

The willow tree is talking about the newly opened shop: "The business of the fabric shop is ok, this season seems to be not cold, and the surrounding villagers come to buy it, for the holidays, or their own I lost a happy event, that is, the size cloth, just a little busy..." He turned to look at Liu Lin, and said with a smile: "I have almost done the previous thing, you should have time now, in the future I handed it over to you, I still manage my accounts, and now I have a lot of accounts, and I am very busy."

Liu Lin nodded hurriedly: "Okay, I will leave the future business to me. The first thing is to find some buddies."

Liu Sen shrank his neck and did not make a sound, but Liu Shu nodded and looked for him next: "Senzi, you can't be idle all day long, your second brother is not Time to take care of that handicraft shop, you should almost have a serious business, just take care of that, how it was in the past, what it will be in the future, you can decide for yourself, don't ask others. But what was the profit in the past, No less, we have to find a way to get stronger every year, otherwise..." He snorted.

Liu Sen went to look at He first, He moved his mouth and was about to speak, Liu Shu had already smiled and said: "Mother, Mori is very smart, he will not give up on reading, But the shop also has to be in charge, and people have to have a serious business, otherwise, they will see him dangling around idle."

Liu Changgeng also nodded: "Yeah, Moriko is so old, he can make up his own mind about his own affairs, he can take the test if he can, if he fails..." He turned his head to look at He smiled: "It's nothing, our family is not for being an official, just don't be idle."

He's words haven't been said yet, now both her husband and eldest son have this opinion, she can't help it, she can only sigh and nod, and said to Liu Sen: "You can't put down your studies! There will be an exam this year, and you have to… at least pass the exam.”

Liu Sen immediately cried: "It doesn't mean that you can't pass the test, why does the mother say that you must pass the test?!"

Just as He was about to speak, Liu Xuer hurriedly smiled and said: "Mother, don't worry too much about this matter... Mori Zi has learned slowly, what's the hurry? But Mori Zi does have to be a little serious. Do it, you can't play all day long, look at Zhongzhou and his brothers, they are all the same age as you, but now the shop is mainly busy with them!"

In contrast, of course, it is better to manage the shop than to be locked at home all day to study, Liu Sen nodded busyly: "Okay, okay! Can't I manage that shop? That small There's nothing wrong with the shop, I promise not to pay!"

Everyone laughed, and He had to leave it alone.

Liu Shu smiled again and turned to look at Shao Rong and said, "Shao Rong learned very fast, and now he can write a lot..."

Before he finished speaking, he was pushed by Shao Rong, blushing and smiling: "What do you say I do..."

Liu Xuer laughed 'puchi': "Big brother wants to take the opportunity to exaggerate sister-in-law!"

Everyone laughed hahaha, Shao Rong blushed even more, turned his head to look at the white willow tree, in the end he didn't dare in front of his parents-in-law, he could only change the subject and smiled at Liu Xuer: "A few days ago, you asked how to make jasmine-flavored powder. Now your second sister-in-law has entered the door. If you think she should know how to make it, you can ask your second sister-in-law."

Liu Xuer was reminded, smiled and said: "Yes!" She turned her head to Song Yao and said, "Second sister-in-law, after a few days, you will teach me and sister-in-law how to make rouge powder or something. What we've done in the past has always been a little bit bad."

Song Yao didn't speak for a long time, listening to everyone's lively talk, she was asked about her head and nodded quickly: "Okay... I just know how to do it, I haven't done it myself, we can try it. try."

"Okay." Liu Xuer said.

He was reminded again, and asked how the dowry prepared by Liu Xuer, just need to embroider by yourself, and some self-made bed sheets, quilts, tents, pillowcases, etc., Liu Xuer nodded and all ready . She got engaged early, and these things have already been prepared.

Shi Cheng sat next to her, drinking the hot daughter's tea, and his stomach felt a little more comfortable.

Now, just drink strong tea. Everyone talked about tea and chat for an hour or two. When it was time for lunch, the whole family ate lunch together. Liu Lin took Song Yao to meet the grandma and grandma at the fourth uncle's place, and Liu Shu and the others did their own work.

Shi Cheng went back to sleep on soft footsteps, and his spirit was only restored when he slept until the next morning. Washed and washed out to see their own business.

Following his servant named Zhou Cheng, walking behind him and reporting back: "The shopkeeper told the little one yesterday, the little one really has no time to watch the eldest young master, so I will wait for this meeting. My son said, the shopkeeper went to Hanzhong Mansion, the master said, the madam still hopes the eldest young master to get married there, what do you mean?"

Shicheng was a little impatient, 'um', and didn't say what to do.

Came to the jewelry store, went upstairs to sit on a chair, his shopkeeper smiled and said, "Young master, the store did a business this morning."

Shicheng raised his eyebrows with an 'oh': "What business, as for you specifically?"

"The second young master of the Liu family, the Hanlin mansion, came to our shop this morning to choose some fashionable jewelry to take, and they left five or six pieces, totaling more than one hundred taels of silver. "

Shicheng sat up straight in surprise! Blinking and thinking for a while, Liu Lin should have paid a dowry of two hundred taels, that is to say, these two prodigal women have spent more than half of it? ! Do you really think that if you get the shop, you will not have to worry about food and clothing in the future? !

Shaking his head, Shi Cheng said again: "Keep an eye on those two pawnshops. If these jewelry arrive at the pawnshop again, report back as soon as possible."

"Yes." The shopkeeper agreed with a smile, and added: "There are a few things, the delivery guy said that the two ladies liked them very much, and they looked at them for a long time before putting them down."

Shicheng understands at once, what are the types? The shopkeeper pointed at it, and Shi Cheng knew it in his heart and nodded. If you think about it again, you still have to tell Liu Lin about this matter quickly. Tomorrow is the day when Liu Lin and Song Yao return home. Maybe the two prodigal ladies of Hanlin House will do something else, not to mention that they will start to ponder. Back to get a silk shop.

Thinking like this, I'm not in a hurry, anyway, I have to go there to eat at night. Shicheng asked the shopkeeper to bring the shop's tent to see for himself, and tidy up the shop before getting married, so that he could rest for a while.

I was watching when there were some noisy footsteps from downstairs. All the four or five guys in the store seemed to run out. After a while, there was the sound of going up the stairs. Shicheng was a little puzzled. What guest has come? When he turned to look for the shopkeeper, he couldn't find it. He was thinking about getting up to have a look, when he saw Liu Xuer actually walking up from the stairs.

Shi Cheng stood up in surprise and joy, and then saw Liu Xuer followed by her two sisters-in-law, Liu Lin was also behind, and the shopkeeper bowed and smiled and greeted him. .

Shicheng laughed: "I mean, why did I go out to greet them all at once, and I still wonder, Fengxian still has such an important guest?!"

Liu Xuer also smiled: "I followed my mother's order to accompany my sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law to choose jewelry, and the second brother is our guard."

Shi Cheng sneered, Liu Lin and the others all laughed, Liu Xuer walked to Shi Cheng first and said with a smile: "How are you? Why are you still not in good spirits? Don't you want to see the doctor?"

Shi Cheng smiled bitterly and said, "It's fine... just take a two-day rest, mainly because I drank too much that day. I haven't drank that much for many years."

Liu Lin heard it funny: "How many years... It's like you've drunk it before."

Shicheng smiled, pouted at the catkins, beckoned everyone to sit down, and asked people to pour tea, the shopkeeper had already put the most fashionable jewelry in the vermilion lacquer tray. Come here and ask a few girls and young grandmothers to choose.

Here, Shicheng pulled Liu Lin aside and whispered what the shopkeeper said. Liu Lin raised his eyebrows and said incredulously: "These two women... are not eating?!"

Shi Cheng smiled and whispered: "These people, the more defeated they are, the more they take care of their faces, for fear that others will say that her place is not as good as others... Fortunately, you have all the fine silk in that shop. Withdrew, otherwise, it is estimated that there is no need to sell it, and they all make clothes."

Liu Lin shook his head speechlessly, and said to Shi Cheng, "What are you going to do about it?"

Shi Cheng smiled: "So anxious?"

"Can't you be in a hurry? That's when I just got up and was taken away by them. I don't know how to do it!" Sister-in-law Song Yao, who was choosing jewelry together, turned her head and whispered, "Song Yao's eldest sister-in-law and mother-in-law don't care about Song Yao, and I won't show any mercy to them."

Shicheng nodded and said: "It's very simple to tell them that their silk shop can't run, there are many ways, but now it's a little inconvenient, we don't have a silk shop, if there is, we will compete with each other. That's the easy thing to do."

Liu Lin thought for a while and said, "When I accompany Song Yao back to the door tomorrow, I will go to Songjiang Mansion to discuss with the big owner of the workshop over there. I'm here to buy goods in the name of my shop, and I won't give them for now. As for other workshops, I thought about it, only the workshop that is about the same size as the one we buy from, they are the most suitable for buying goods, others are too expensive. As for this one, I will discuss with them and try not to give them any goods."

Shicheng nodded and said, "These two families will discuss conditions with you, have you thought about it?"

Liu Lin nodded: "It is estimated that I will have to import my goods from him in the next few years, and write it down in black and white. It's nothing, in fact, that's what I originally planned." He smiled.

Shi Cheng also smiled and nodded: "Promise that the goods will be imported from them for a period of time in the future, but other conditions such as the payment of silver first cannot be agreed."

"Of course." Liu Lin nodded.

The two discussed briefly, then came back and sat aside, watching the women choose jewelry.
