Shen Dagou was still worried at first, but he was relieved after hearing this.
The queen prepared a dowry for his sister, which proved that the queen liked his sister. Since ancient times, the conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been difficult to resolve. If the sister can be loved by the noble mother-in-law, the future life will not be too sad
After figuring it out, the group followed Liu Laosan back to Yong'an Marquis Mansion.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Su Tai taking inventory of the warehouse. The abacus was rattling, but her brows were furrowed deeper and deeper, almost crushing flies.
Seeing the person coming, she let out a long breath, hurriedly asked everyone to sit down, and complained to Liu Laosan, "Godfather, has your house been emptied by rats? I have been calculating the accounts for a long time, and I have looked at them vertically and horizontally. Look, look left and right, you can’t see anything!”
Liu Laosan laughed awkwardly and said, "I was discovered by you"
He touched his nose guiltily and glared at the housekeeper.
The housekeeper was aggrieved and said, "Master Marquis, it was the young lady who said it was a rare visit. Seeing that the mansion was deserted and the house was empty, she wanted to buy some things, but was afraid of overspending, so she thought of doing an accounting first. I can't refuse! ”
This investigation will definitely reveal the truth!
Although Huang Xinghua was illiterate, she recognized banknotes and money. Looking at the three melons and two dates on the table, she was shocked and blurted out, "These are all the property of the Marquis?"
Liu Laosan is getting more and more embarrassed!
Su Tai was worried, "Godfather, money is needed everywhere in the imperial capital. If you are short of money, just tell me. I can't help you with anything else. Money can help."
"What are you doing! I didn't accept Shen Yi as my godson just to let you raise me!" Liu Laosan shouted angrily.
Because I'm so poor, I don't have the confidence to speak.
Su Tai was anxious, "I know what my godfather is thinking. I don't want to give you money directly, but I said we can do business together!"
"Doing business?" Liu Laosan became interested, and then shook his head, "No, no, I am the Marquis of Yong'an now. With so many pairs of eyes staring at me, if I do business, it will definitely reach the ears of the emperor."
Su Tai sneered and said: "Godfather, who among those wealthy families didn't buy anything from the other side of Zhuangzi's shop! Besides this mansion and the things the emperor gave you, what else do you have? I heard from the housekeeper that the money was extorted from the second prince.
This can't go on like this! It just so happens that I brought some money with me this time. If it's inconvenient for you, I'll come. I'll set up a shop in the imperial capital, and my godfather will find someone to help me take care of it. We'll pay 50-50 for the money we make, how about it? ”
"That won't work! You lost money!" Liu Laosan pursed his lips. Although he didn't do business, he was not stupid.
Su Tai raised the corner of her mouth in a funny way, "Then you are four and I am six, and we can't change any more."
Liu Laosan was silent for a while before asking: "What kind of business do you open a shop for?"
Su Tai's smile deepened and she said, "Do something indifferent. For example, in winter, I will get some fruits and vegetables from Lizhou that are not seen in winter. In summer, I will sell strawberry jam. The supply of strawberry jam at Xiji Assorted Shop is in short supply. If you want more, It won't have any impact on the distribution in the shop. I also have some green stem rice and glutinous rice that I secretly grew in the mountains. I will also send some to you
My godfather is the Marquis after all. It is not eye-catching for you to buy and sell jade, and most people will not pursue it. I can also give you some jade. These things can be sold for tens of thousands of taels of silver a year, and there may be more. , supporting the Yongan Hou Mansion is not a problem. ”
Liu Laosan was dumbfounded and muttered absentmindedly, "Tens of thousands of taels of silver! Not to mention supporting my Yong'an Marquis Mansion, even if some more people come, it will be no problem!"
The housekeeper was very happy and said, "Master Hou, when you make money, you can buy a village or a shop. Don't be jealous, money begets money."
God knows how difficult it is for him to be a housekeeper. It is difficult for a clever woman to make a living without rice. He has been working hard and calculating carefully before. He thought he would spend the rest of his life like this. Unexpectedly, as soon as the young lady came, they immediately turned out of poverty, hahahaha.
Liu Laosan laughed angrily at the steward's arrogant look, rolled his eyes and ignored him.
"I'm afraid I have to leave the sweet marriage to you." When talking about business, everyone looked a little more serious. Su Tai nodded repeatedly and looked at Shen Tian with a more complicated look, "I didn't expect that we, Tiantian, would have such a good fortune. Now that it has become a foregone conclusion, we have to make careful plans to get married in the palace. Now it is the Chinese New Year. I will definitely not get married at this time, not in the first month.”
"The palace is busy in February, and we are also busy preparing for spring plowing. The wedding will not be until at least three months." Liu Laosan followed Su Tai's words and said.
Su Tai nodded repeatedly, "In this case, cousin and the others can still go back and forth and prepare some things for Tiantian. I will edit a book and you can help me take it back to Shen Yi. He knows what to do."
Suchuan and Su Zhan responded.
Shen Dagou said to Huang Xinghua and Shen Tian: "Mom, second sister, I will go back with them and pick up dad by the way."
Naturally, Huang Xinghua had no objection. She was a womanizer, so a man had to come forward to do this.
Suchuan and his party left as soon as they said they were going.
Huang Xinghua and Shen Tian stayed in Yong'an Marquis Mansion and could only celebrate the New Year here this year.
Su Tai wanted them to have a good New Year and volunteered to take care of the New Year's Eve dinner.
Using the Gate of Time and Space, we prepared a large table of delicious food, including fresh mutton hot pot, fish pot, Dabu's Buddha Jumping over the Wall, bamboo tube rice and a large basin of white rice.
The bamboo tubes used for bamboo tube rice are cut in the house.
Langya country does not produce bamboo. Liu Laosan has stayed in Longxia country for a long time and is thinking about green bamboo. Longxia country happened to pay tribute to several pots of green bamboo. He licked his face and asked the emperor for a pot.
This thing is easy to grow. It was transplanted to the backyard and started to grow wildly. In two years, it actually had a small area.
Liu Laosan's wish was to grow a bamboo forest. Unexpectedly, Su Tai was sharpening her knife and cut two of them during the Chinese New Year.
While enjoying the delicious bamboo tube rice, he cried heartbrokenly.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, everyone sat and watched the New Year's Eve. Liu Laosan had no choice but to talk to Shen Tian about some situations in the palace. Su Tai sat on the side and listened quietly. Huang Xinghua was not interested and fell asleep.
When Liu Laosan talked about the situation in the DPRK, he couldn't help nagging a few words, "Now that the noble family is in power, although the emperor is determined to change the situation, there are many obstacles. There are many moths in the court, and there is also the ambitious rising star Cen family at the border. Most of the women in the prince's backyard are... It's from aristocratic family.
For someone with no foundation like you, try to keep as little contact with them as possible to avoid being bullied. ”
Huang Xinghua had just woken up from her nap. When she heard this, she interrupted, "We know Mr. Tang. Isn't Mr. Tang also an official?"
Liu Laosan choked and didn't know how to answer it for a moment.
Su Tai covered her mouth and chuckled, "Auntie, Mr. Tang is just a ninth-grade money and food official in the government. He is nothing in the imperial capital."
Huang Xinghua looked disappointed, "Obviously he is an official, why is it different? Mr. Tang is so knowledgeable, what a pity!"
"Hey! Nowadays, aristocratic families are in power, and people are hired by recommendation. Ordinary people have to attach themselves to aristocratic families, and gain the favor of aristocratic families in order to have an official position. This world seems to belong to the emperor, but in fact it belongs to the aristocratic family!"
Liu Laosan and Shen Tian looked at Su Tai in shock. (End of chapter)
