Chapter 203 is coming

Fortunately, I have been worried about Gongxian Hutong. Unexpectedly, my eldest brother not only knew about it, but also rushed to Xu's house early in the morning to report the news.

Thinking of this, Wu Niang's little uneasiness disappeared.

She asked Eleven Niang in a low voice: What did the elder brother say when he came?

Eleven Niang only told Luo Zhenxing what he said to persuade her not to fall out with her husband because of the child.

Wu Niang asked Eleven Niang what her plan was.

What plans can I have? Eleven Niang said, if this is really the case, it depends on what the Marquis says.

Yes. Wu Niang said with a smile, you are a stepmother after all, it is really not convenient for you to do this.

Eleven Niang nodded, not wanting to talk to her anymore, she smiled and changed the topic: Is my sister's health okay?

Yes. Wu Niang smiled sweetly, I'm fine. I ate and slept every day, and gained a lot of weight.

Being able to eat and sleep is a blessing. Eleven Niang smiled and chatted with her. She didn’t know what her sister liked to eat, so I asked someone to prepare some.

Wu Niang sighed after hearing this: How can I be as picky now as when I was a girl? I only eat what I have.

Eleven Niang heard that there was something in her words, but she couldn't figure out what she meant, so she pretended to be confused: I see that the fifth brother and sister are pregnant and like to eat sour bamboo shoots. How about I ask someone to serve some for you to try? If it tastes good, bring some.

go back.

Wu Niang shook her head: Forget it. It's easy for this person to go from frugality to luxury, but it's difficult to go from luxury to frugality. I'm afraid I'm used to eating, and if I can't eat, I will feel uncomfortable.

Complaining in front of yourself like this, could it be that you have taken a fancy to some other business and want to join it yourself?

Eleven Niang thought about it and said with a smile: It depends on what my sister said. This sour bamboo shoot is not a good thing. If my sister likes to eat it, I will just ask Dongqing to make it for her. Then she got up and called Luyun and asked her to bring a small

Here comes the sour bamboo shoots.

The green cloud responded and left.

Alas, Wu Niang sighed when she saw it: This is in line with the old saying that every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. You, don't worry about food, don't worry about clothing, just say a casual word and someone will be waiting on you, and you will be the Marquis.

But as for me, my husband-in-law is handsome and well-educated, but his family is poor and has no foundation. He relies on my little dowry to live on. Others don’t know, but you should know best. We talk about how many dowries we have, but it falls to

In fact, I can't even survive. Otherwise, how could I show up in public and do business? As he spoke, his smile turned bitter. Who knew that my luck would be so bad, and I would encounter a heavy snowstorm that has been unbearable for decades.

.I lost hundreds of taels of silver in vain.

Eleven Niang has also lived through hard times. If she were in her shoes, she would feel the same heartache. I can understand Wu Niang.

She advised Wu Niang: Just think of it as a lesson. In the future, if you are sure about any business, start with a small one, and when you are sure, it will not be too late to expand it.

That's all I can think about. Wu Niang said helplessly, your brother-in-law also advised me the same way. He said that it was just a bad year and no harvest.

Although Qian Ming is a bit snobbish, he also has his own demeanor. Eleven Niang said with a smile: Since my brother-in-law thinks this way, my sister should relax her mind.

Wu Niang hummed, and then, as if she suddenly remembered something, she leaned across the kang table and asked Eleven Niang in a low voice: How is your dowry?

Eleven Niang didn't expect her to ask about this, so she paused.

Wuniang has already said: There is one piece of sandy land and one piece of sloping land. Not to mention that we don’t know the difference between grains. Even the companion who lives next to me is from the south. How can I grow crops on sandy land and sloping land? It will be difficult for my sister, too.

Yes, I am worried about this. I don’t deny it, but my knowledge is limited and I don’t have any particularly good ideas. If the fifth sister has any good ideas, she must tell me.

That's natural. Wu Niang agreed readily. You and I share the same concerns. If I don't help you, who can I help? Then she showed her sincerity, but you really need to spend more effort on this matter. You know

, you are different from me. I live in a small household. I have food in the pot and clothes on my body. But you have a big business, complicated and intricate personnel, and you don’t have any private money.

It’s hard to reward a maid, let alone subdue those housekeeping mothers who think they have more dignity than anyone else because they have served the dowager.

Wu Niang really got it right.

She was really worried.

If nothing unexpected happens, next year I will definitely be the host of the Xu Mansion. It is inevitable to treat these mothers who are in charge of things to have snacks and reward them with some jewelry to win over people's hearts. But the Xu family is not a small and poor family, just to raise their spirits.

In the immigrant body, these mothers in charge were watching and listening, with big holes in their hands and faces. Taking out things and saying it might not have the purpose of winning people's hearts, but made people look down on them.

Let yourself lose your dignity.

Seeing that Eleven Niang was silent, Wu Niang lowered her voice: Sister, I have a business that will be very profitable. If it can be done, it will not only solve my sister's situation, but also allow me to give birth safely.

A hint of helplessness flashed in Eleven Niang's eyes, and she declined politely: "Others don't know, but my sister should know best. I can't come up with a lot of money." She made a very skillful statement, saying that she couldn't come up with a lot of money.

It gives people the illusion that although I have money, it is not much.

She did this intentionally.

If she says she has money, she is afraid that Wu Niang will open her mouth and she will not be able to take it out. This will ruin the harmony that the two sisters maintain on the surface. If she says that she has no money, she is also afraid that Wu Niang will misunderstand that she is calling her poor and will not want to help her.

After hearing this, Wu Niang covered her sleeves and smiled: This business requires no capital.

Eleven Niang's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and she calmly reminded her: There is no such thing as pie in the sky.

This is a pie-in-the-world thing, Wu Niang said with a smile, of course there are still some difficulties. However, this matter is difficult for others, but it is a piece of cake for Eleven Sisters.

What is difficult for others but easy for oneself can only be borrowed from Xu Lingyi's name

Eleven Niang's heart felt chilly, and she smiled with a hint of luck: I am somewhat sure about opening an embroidery building.

Opening an embroidery shop requires capital. Wu Niang smiled and told Eleven Niang about Yan Yin. Tell me, is this pie in the sky?

Eleven Niang was slightly stunned.

Businessmen pursue profit. Who would sell the money they have received to others like this? Either they are making bait, using a business that can easily make a lot of money to catch Qian Ming and his wife, and then gradually move from easy to difficult.

In other words, the two of them were unable to give in, and in the end they even took risks; or even though the benefits were great, it was not easy to accomplish, and even the money they earned was relationship money.

Looking for Fan Weigang, it would have cost 1,800 dan of grain and rice to provide intermediate links, but now it only costs 500 dan. Where the other profits will come from, it will naturally come from those officials who exploit the layers. In this way,

It's the same as snatching food from the tiger's mouth. It's easy to say once or twice. If time goes by, I'm afraid that even if you are the king of heaven, I will make those officials feel resentful and find an opportunity to stumble you. At that time, if you are calculated with intention but not with intention, there will be a thousand-mile journey.

It is not impossible that the embankment breaks through the ant nest.

She thought of Luo Zhenxing's words to persuade her.

Obviously, he treats her as an ignorant child

Eleven Niang made a worried look: I don’t know Mr. Fan, I’m just afraid that Mr. Hou will come forward.

Wuniang turned her eyes and said what Qian Ming told her when she came: Why does the Marquis need to intervene in such a trivial matter? You only need to tell the manager at home and get Zhang Marquis's name card. Others

We can help you get it done.

This is not good. Eleven Niang seemed a little panicked. If the Marquis asked, how should I say no? No, her head shook like a rattle.

Alas, Mr. Hou has so many things going on every day, how can he pay attention to these things? Wu Niang smiled and said, you are too timid.

Eleven Niang smiled coquettishly: Sister also knows that I am timid. It’s better to tell Mr. Hou before we argue.

Wu Niang saw that she was tight-lipped, and she looked like she hated iron, and sighed: You, I am worried about you no matter what, but you act like a fine person. Don't think that my sister is too straightforward.

.You know, you and Mr. Hou are a married couple. He is not yet thirty years old this year, and he has his eldest son and his eldest daughter. There are some things that you should be aware of. You must know that you will still have troubles in the future.

Look, maybe one day another aunt will come in. If you don’t plan for yourself, you should also plan for your future children, so get some money with you. If nothing else, let’s just say that the fifth lady in your house will

When I came in, I had a dowry of one hundred and twenty-eight dollars, I was granted the title of county head by the imperial court, and I was the eldest daughter of Dingnanhou Mansion. She was so prominent, but she still opened a shop outside. Everyone knew that they had money, so they didn't panic.

Don't act like you haven't grown up. You're afraid of this and that.

Eleven Niang listened attentively, and Weiwei responded quietly, but did not participate in her topic.

Wu Niang saw that Eleven Niang looked afraid of things while she was talking about her. Although she was anxious, she couldn't push her too hastily. She slowly brought the topic to the child: "There's nothing to be afraid of. It's not like that."

The eldest son. Wait a few years, marry him a housewife, and give him some money to go out and live alone.

Seeing that it was getting late, Eleven Niang interrupted her: My sister is here, let’s have lunch here.

When Wu Niang came, she planned to go back early to report the news to Gongxian Hutong. Now that she knew that Luo Zhenxing had arrived before her, she calmed down her eagerness and thought about Qian Ming asking her to walk more with Shi Yi Niang.

, responded with a smile: I haven’t gone to kowtow to the madam yet.

Seeing her willingness to agree, Eleven Niang called Hu Hui in, told her to arrange lunch, and sent someone to ask for Xu Lingyi's letter. Then she changed her clothes and went to Mrs. Tai's place with Wu Niang.

Mrs. Tai was very happy to see Wu Niang and asked all kinds of questions. She turned back when there was a door.

Wu Niang's expression was a little uncertain. She sat down in Room 11 and then said: I didn't expect you to be very popular with your mother-in-law.

Eleven Niang said with a smile: "My mother is gentle with others, but it's not like I will please her old man."

Wu Niang didn't say anything. She felt a little bitter in her heart when she thought of the respectful way the eldest wife looked at her every time she mentioned the concubine.

I have some personal matters in the past two days, so I can't do double updates. I hope you can understand me after I've been busy for a while. onno~
