Chapter 665 So Proud
Zhou Molan thought that when she came in, her girl heard that the maid and mother-in-law were moving around outside, so she guessed that she had arrived.
Just as she was thinking about it, she couldn't help but feel happy when she heard that her girl had guessed that she had gone to Hexi this morning. There was no stern expression on her face.
You must know that even my uncle didn't know that she had gone to Hexi this morning. Her girl had guessed it first. She is indeed an extremely smart young lady in her family.
Entering through the door, Zhou Molan saw that her girl couldn't sit still again. She was only wearing a thin coat and dared to come to the door with the curtain raised.
"Go back and sit down quickly. It's very windy at the door." As she said that, she backed out of the door, lest the cold air on her body would irritate her girl.
Seeing this, Zhou Banxia smiled bitterly and shook her head, but she knew in her heart that if she took another step forward, her Aunt Lan would definitely take two steps back, and she would even go to the door to take off her cloak.
She simply returned to the place with her belly in hand, and asked her parents if they were planning to invite Dr. Lin and others to their house for a casual meal tomorrow.
There was nothing to hide, so Zhou Molan mentioned that arrangements had been made over there, and housekeeper Zhou would take care of all the matters such as hiring a chef and purchasing ingredients.
Even the invitations inviting guests to come tomorrow have been prepared in advance and will be delivered to every house before noon today, so Zhou Banxia does not have to worry.
Zhou Banxia wasn't worried that her parents' family wouldn't be able to host a practical banquet. Besides, her father wouldn't be able to invite many guests to his house for dinner and drinks tomorrow.
It doesn't matter whether the expense will be higher if there are more guests invited, just invite a few people who have close contacts to make it lively.
People talk too much.
Fortunately for the male guests, the female family members were different. There was no need for an rude woman to turn around and say all kinds of dirty things at the dinner table.
Some women are not as outspoken as their mother. No matter how outspoken her mother is, vulgar and vulgar words will never come out of her mouth.
But some women, like her aunt.
Her aunt often said that she was outspoken but didn't mean it, but it was hard to say whether she was really outspoken or if she did it on purpose.
According to her eldest sister, their aunt is often so outspoken that she publicizes other people's privacy in public and dares to imitate any nasty words.
There is no way her father would invite this sister-in-law and his wife to come to his house tomorrow, let alone her grandparents, uncles, aunts, and cousins.
If any one of them pretends to be crazy and drunk on the spot tomorrow, even if they don't say some vulgar and dirty words, she can cry and ask her father to forgive her or something.
It can disgust people to death.
"...Don't rush there now. Even your eldest sister and your parents are worried about her being hit. It's better to wait until tomorrow'er and Sister Hui'er go together."
Zhou Banxia happily agreed.
She still understands this truth.
Not to mention that she has a bulging belly now, even if she is not pregnant, she will not be able to go and help her mother prepare for the practice banquet tomorrow.
Nowadays, a married girl is a guest when she returns to her natal family. She can help in private, but she cannot go beyond the rules, lest others think that her natal family has no one available.
Especially at this juncture, the cousins in the Qi Mansion were going to have a practice banquet, and why not have an on-the-spot inspection of her family's family tradition.
Putting these things aside, Zhou Banxia hurriedly got back to business. While letting Zhou Molan look at the road map, he talked about his ideas and plans. In order to make it easier to communicate with her uncle and others, she planned to buy three or five Zhuangzi along the way from Qinghe Village to Zhoujia Village and set Zhuangzi as her foothold.
The reason why she said she wanted to buy three or five Zhuangzi was because she didn't have enough money to buy them. It wasn't because she was short of money. She still had a lot of idle cash on hand.
Not to mention the shop rent received from her master's dowry, and the previous year's income from various village owners, the workshop also makes a lot of money every month.
What's more, there are several shops in Beijing where the original dowry list has been returned. Next year's rent, her third brother brought it to her this time.
In terms of cash flow, so far, Mr. Zhao Sanye, the largest dog owner in Qinghe County, may not have as much money as she does. Even if she doesn't mention it, her Aunt Lan actually knows it well.
It's just that when she is not short of money, she can't buy Zhuangzi if she wants to, unless someone leaves the local area and will not come back again, or is destitute to a certain extent and has to sell it.
But for the latter, from ancient times to the present, buying property has been a symbol of family prosperity. Selling land and houses is tantamount to losing the family. If the family is ruined, few families will transfer the farm unless they have no choice.
Like this Gujiazhuang, and the Master Wu's Courtyard that Mr. Zhao bought, they are no longer alive. It is the turn of their children and grandchildren to sell them out because they can no longer bear the burden.
But it is also looked down upon by others. The Gu family is better off and has many sons. The son of the Gu family who was assigned to the Gujiazhuang property has no ambitions here and took the silver to trade for a shop.
The Wu family is really miserable.
Nowadays, the most famous prodigal son in Qinghe County, no one can equal him except Wu Jiazi. This Wu Jiazi has completely become a representative villain.
If your son wants to spend money indiscriminately, the parents will tell you that if you want to become the second Wu family son, I/I might as well beat you to death as soon as possible.
Zhou Molan almost choked when she heard this. She quickly put the tea cup in her hand back to its original place and expressed that her girl's idea was very, very good.
Money cannot bear children if left alone, and it is impossible for her girl to loan money just to make a few profits. It would be more appropriate to exchange it for a farm or a shop.
Of course, the main thing is that it would be one thing if her girl only relied on the income from Zhuangzi's shop, but the income from the workshop should be pretty good.
Zhou Molan looked at Zhou Banxia with pride when she thought that her girl had launched something new, launching a limited edition gift box for New Year's gifts in this twelfth lunar month.
At this time, Zhou Banxia was sitting on the wooden couch, and the winter sunshine shone in through the window screen, shining on Zhou Banxia's face with a bright and charming smile between his brows.
Although she was only wearing a very homely undershirt and jacket, her black and soft black hair was only combed into a simple bun, fixed with only a wooden hairpin.
However, no matter how Zhou Molan looked at it, she felt that her young lady's appearance was undoubtedly excellent, and she was also of the highest quality even if she couldn't take advantage of the beauty and beauty of the country.
Especially a pair of eyes, clear and spiritual, full of aura, but they still have nothing to seek all day long. They don't want to climb high and look far, but prefer to be free and leisurely.
So similar.
Too much like a young lady.
"There will no longer be a village or shop in the capital? If it is fate, Brother Jiang, have you mentioned how to deal with it with my uncle?"
"Yes. I don't know what's going on here. After I went back to my room yesterday, he asked me not to use the dowry and to prepare thousands of taels of gold from the workshop account to find a good wife.
He said that even if my parents-in-law knew the truth, they would agree. I didn't promise him that nothing should be bigger than the betrothal gifts of the eldest brother, the second brother, and the third brother, right, Aunt Lan? ”
