On the second day, Mrs. He was fully energetic and asked Shen to take out the things to add makeup to Xiao Chen's cousin, and said it was simple and thin.

Shen knew that Mrs. He was just thinking that the Ning family was so rich and the betrothal gift was so generous. The Chen family had several shops outside, so the dowry for their daughter would not be too thin. Mrs. He was the relative's aunt, so he thought about adding more. Mrs. Shen wanted to say something, but took into account Mrs. He's temper, but said nothing. Now Mrs. He is the head of the house. The prospects of the farmhouse were all He ordered and put away. He wanted to add things, but it was not Shen's expenses. He said some unpleasant words, which made his mother-in-law get bored.

When Shen saw Xiao Chen's cousin getting engaged, she also had some thoughts. For nothing else, she also had a daughter. He Zijin is still young now, but the child's family said that growing up is just a matter of a blink of an eye. Her mother-in-law treats her meanness and does not even like her daughter. Her mother-in-law holds all the property in her family, guarding her like guarding her thief. She is nothing more than her dowry and her husband's daily pocket money, and she doesn't have much money. Judging from this momentum, if the mother-in-law is like this in the future, how much dowry can she give to her daughter if she is not the turn of her family?

It doesn't matter if Shen herself is just her. She is young, can't she survive He? To be unfilial, she should return to the west after thirty years, and this family is still his own. However, her daughter will get married in fifteen or sixteen years. Today, seeing Xiao Chen's engagement ceremony, Shen will inevitably have a loving mother's mind. Not to mention anything else, as her mother, who is unwilling to earn more family business for her children?

From another perspective, if you save more money in your hand, you will be able to save yourself a lot of money and see your mother-in-law's face.

Shen thought about it for a few days, and even counted her dowry. The Shen family was just an ordinary family. Shen family's dowry was ordinary, and the furniture and materials were all ordinary things. Moreover, these were commonly used at home and could not be sold for silver. When she got married, her mother gave her fifty taels of silver. Although fifty taels of silver was not much, for the Shen family, it was almost half of the family's wealth. Nowadays, no one was willing to give up half of the family business like this. Shen knew that her marriage was not going well before, and her mother felt sorry for her.

Although the He family looked down on her thin dowry, Shen knew that her parents were kind.

In addition to the 50 taels of silver in the box, there are also the twenty taels that I saved in two years.

Shen counted the silver and thought about what to do. Even if you buy more than ten acres of land, you will be more prosperous every year. Shen was thinking about how to make money, and a big head quietly poked out around him. He Zijin asked mysteriously, "Mom, where are you counting the silver?"

Shen pressed back to his daughter's big head, wrapped the silver and locked the bottom of the box, and said, "What are you doing? There is no movement in it, which scares me."

"It's Mom, you count the silver too much, and you didn't hear me coming in." He Zijin sat beside her, and asked, "Mom, why are you counting the silver? Could you give me a gift to the Chen cousin?" He Zijin didn't believe this. Shen was a meticulous person, otherwise she would not have saved up twenty taels of silver in the past two years. When Shen and He Gong got married, the relatives asked He to take away the gifts they received in private, but they didn't give it to Shen at all.

Shen didn't ask for it either, but since then, not only did the family exchanges, but as long as it was for money, Shen didn't even have any son to ask Mrs. He just wanted to pretend to be stupid, Shen was even more innocent. He was so old that he could not pretend to be Shen, but he had no choice but to be a member of the family, so he had to grit his teeth and pay. The money in Shen's hand was not the same as planning to bring some for He Gong to go out, but even bought some things for He Zijin. She used it herself.

After hearing what his daughter said, Shen turned his eyes and said, "The gifts at home have been prepared. What do you know about your child's home? Okay, let's have fun."

He Zijin is tender and has a long-lasting heart. She is a group of little brats in her peers during the day. She is not willing to play with the brats, but now adults are not willing to pay attention to her. Therefore, He Zijin's life is so lonely like snow. Maybe it's because he is lonely like snow for too long, so He Zijin developed a problem of inquiring about things and likes to ask for everything. Shen did not say anything, but He Zijin guessed by herself, "Would you like to buy a gift for your uncle to get married?" Her uncle got married at the end of the year. With Shen's relationship with Chen Su, in addition to being a member of the He family, Shen would have to prepare a gift for his younger brother no matter how frugal he was.

Shen was thinking about making money, but he had no idea for a while. He Zijin had guessed from the gift to her uncle for marriage, "Is it because my uncle got married? My grandmother's family's money was shorter."

Shen knocked his daughter's forehead with a slight finger, "Shut up. Don't talk nonsense, I have to think about it carefully."

He Zijin guessed for a long time but couldn't guess the correct answer. He grabbed Shen's skirt and asked, "Mom, what the hell is it? Don't worry me, just say it! Tell me, I'll share your worries."

Shen was funny, "You eat cold food all day long and don't care about soreness, but you still know what it means to share worries?"

He Zijin shyly and said seriously, "Don't underestimate me too much. Mom, what are you going to do? If you don't tell me, I'll ask my dad."

Shen scolded her, "I'm really a small complaint. I'm thinking about whether to buy a few acres of land."

He Zijin said, "How many acres of land can you buy with just such a little money? I heard from my uncle that good land costs five or six taels per acre." They are small places, but they are closer to the prefecture and the land is expensive.

Shen sighed, "After all, it's a business, and you can earn a few taels a year. In more than ten years, you can always save a lot."

He Zijin disagreed. Although the land was long, if you buy a scattered twenty acres, who would take care of them? The He family has a small village of three or five hundred acres. At that time, Mrs. He said "Let the head of the village take care of them." This land would have to change hands. He Zijin could not say it directly, so he had to pretend to be innocent in a scathing voice, "But no one in our family can farm! Dad doesn't know, and I don't know either!"

Even if Shen set up a land, he would also be wary of Mrs. He. When he wanted to ask his parents' family to take care of him, he heard a sentence from his daughter, "I heard from my grandmother that Aunt Chen's family is rich and there is a shop outside. Mom, what is a shop? Is it a place to buy things?"

Shen's heart moved slightly while answering his daughter's question. Yes, I heard that the Chen family was very poor more than 30 years ago. The Chen family's uncle was apprenticing outside since he was a child. He set up his own shop in his early twenties and went from north to south to do business. Now the Chen family is also a famous wealthy family in Bishui County. And his family, 300 acres of paddy fields thirty years ago, has now increased to 500 acres of paddy fields, and Mrs. He is a famous woman who can live.

If you want to make more money, it is better to make money faster for the shop. Moreover, Shen’s mind is quick. If she starts a small business, she doesn’t have to buy a shop now. Just rent one is that Bishui County has a cheap rent, and a mid-range shop can only cost more than ten taels of silver a year. Although Shen’s daily life is frugal, if she wants to buy a shop, she is still willing to take out the money.

But, what kind of business do you do?

Shen was not a stupid person, but he was born in the countryside since childhood. Although he had read a few books and recognized a few words, he had never seen the world and was even more unprofitable in making a living outside. Shen thought about it for several days, but he had no good idea. However, when He Zijin was delivering moon cakes and fruits before the Mid-Autumn Festival, he told her beautiful uncle, "My mother wants to buy a shop to do business, but she doesn't know what to make money." As soon as she finished speaking, she was blinking her fingers. Shen scolded her, "Why are you everywhere?" She also wanted to ask her brother's idea, but was worried that it would cause her brother's character to be deformed.

He Zijin said, "Mom, you sigh every day, I don't have a good meal." He asked her uncle again, "Uncle, do you think I'm losing weight?"

Chen Su weighed it and said seriously, "I'm not losing weight, I can't even hold it anymore."

He Zijin grimaced at her uncle and discussed with her uncle, "Uncle, please take me back together. I will live with my grandmother for a few days."

When Shen heard He Zijin remembered that it was like an out and said, "You are going crazy."

"I want to go to the fields with my uncle to catch eels." He Zijin longed for life in the fields very much. She had smog every day in her previous life, but she had blue waters and blue sky in this life. However, the He family's small wealthy family lives in the county. He Zijin often heard Chen Su say that she was stuck in cicadas in summer, peeling lotus pods in autumn, catching eels in rice fields, and fishing shrimps in the stream. He Zijin was so greedy that He Zijin was so greedy. However, Shen looked at her tightly. He had never been to her grandmother's house these days.

Chen Su teased her, "Not only are there eels in the fields, but there are pheasants and rabbits on the mountain. Many wild fruits are ripe now, and they can pick many of them every time they go to the mountain."

He Zijin's starry eyes made her laugh so much.

After teasing her niece, Chen Su was in a good mood and asked his sister, "Why did sister think of doing business?"

Shen pointed at He Zijin with his hand and said, "I ignored this before, just because I just thought that life was just about food, rice, oil and salt. My family is now living, and your brother-in-law is not a big-handed person, and it is not as short as money. He has Zijin himself, but whenever someone else gets married, I can't help but be interested. Whether it's son or daughter, as parents, I'm willing to leave more for my children." As he said, Shen lowered his voice and said softly, "I don't tell you about my family affairs. You know that the family affairs are in the hands of my wife, and I'm holding them together. If Zijin is too much, If I like it too much, I won’t worry about it. Because of my reasons, my wife has always treated Zijin coldly. Zijin is still young now, and it will be too late to plan after ten years. Others look down on her, so I only treat her as my eyes, and I don’t want her to be wronged. Will I rub my teeth with my wife for three or five hundred taels of silver in the future? Not to mention that I am not of this temper, I don’t want to lower my head. While I am young this year, I will either buy a few acres of land or do some business, not to seek wealth and honor, at least I have a stable investment. After saving for more than ten years, Zijin also has a thick dowry."

Shen was completely mom-hearted, which made He Zijin feel moved. Shen thought for a moment, pressed his dissatisfaction with Mrs. He and said, "What my sister said is the same. But, do you know about this?"

Shen smiled, "Don't worry about this. Even if I buy a shop, I will take it out. From the root, I must clearly distinguish it and pass the road. Moreover, this is my private house, and it has nothing to do with your brother-in-law's reputation. He is a person who wants to take the exam, so he can't recite the name of a merchant. Besides, I think there are several shops outside the clan leader's family. As long as it is arranged properly, it will not hinder the reputation of a merchant."

Chen Su nodded and responded, "My brother-in-law is a student and I don't know much about the market outside. I want to tell me that my sister now has limited money and can't buy much land. Not only does it take a limited amount of production in the field in a year, but it will take several years to get back the money. It's better to rent a suitable shop and do some business. Even if it's not good, it's only a few months of rent."

Shen said, "I think so too, I just don't know what to do."

Chen Su smiled, "I can't hurry. I think about it and tell my sister when I have an idea."

Shen reminded his younger brother, "I'm not in a hurry. Now you have to prepare for a marriage again and have to prepare for a scholarship next year. This must not be delayed. I suddenly had this idea. If you delay your homework because of this, I would rather not do business."

"Look at what my sister said, it won't be that." Chen Su smiled, "Besides, I don't care about my sister's affairs now. This year, the fruits and vegetables are abundant, and the prices are much cheaper than in previous years. Even if I can't sell them, the villagers are worried."

Shen said casually, "In the past years, the vegetables that could not be eaten at home were pickled pickles. Bishui County was small. If it could not be sold here, I would go to the prefecture to ask for a few more places. I don't know how many vegetables I have to collect in a year," he said.

After saying this, Shen had another idea and said, "There is a cousin in our clan who often goes to the prefecture to do business. I am familiar with his wife. You stay for two days. I will go over to talk tomorrow and ask you a letter to see if he has a way."
