Don't worry about traveling through time, she has an all-powerful senior sister to help her
Chapter 91 More or Less
"Make up all this nonsense about me."
"How can matchmaking be called choreography? And it's true that you frequently visit the Shen family."
Chen Ru: "Add two more sticks."
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything." Zhuang Baibu ran to receive the punishment, muttering that it was a pity not to choose Miss Shen.
Chen Ru drank alone in a bad mood. He should find a suitable marriage partner, but the word "suitable" is hard to find...
Shen Miaozhu, who was favored by Zhuang Baibu, was currently at the carpenter's house introduced by Taoist Chen with her junior sister.
This was a down-to-earth man. If he knew that there was an extra twenty taels of silver, he would pay twenty taels to buy the method of making a bellows rocking chair.
When Shen Lingzhu proposed to use his shop to sell some bellows, the carpenter agreed.
But he said, "In terms of time, it would be better to postpone it for three to five days so that we can make some finished products and sell them together, which will be more lively."
Uncle Huang wanted to take advantage of his presence to clear out the goods and bring only a small amount into Beijing.
The two sides disagreed on this point. Shen Lingzhu wanted to persuade them but didn't know how to do it. She looked at her senior sister again and asked her to mediate quickly.
However, Shen Miaozhu failed to receive it because her attention was attracted by a piano.
She couldn't help but move closer. The piano was well made, except that it had no strings.
Shen Lingzhu didn't want to disturb her favorite senior sister at all, so she interrupted the conversation between her uncle and the carpenter.
Said: "Uncle, it's okay to postpone it for three days.
We'll take this opportunity to recommend it to various restaurants and look for a carpentry shop."
The carpenter was stunned when he heard this. "You're going to go door to door to sell your goods?"
"Yes, sell them out as soon as possible so that you can go home." Shen Lingzhu said it as if it were true.
Deep down, the carpenter wanted to be the first seller. Seeing that she was so unwilling to wait for the finished product, he made plans for the next step.
So he compromised and said, "You can keep the bellows in the store, but my store will still be responsible for the visits to the wine shops."
"We will not only go to the wine shops, but also visit all the shops in the city." In ancient times, sweeping the streets for the first time should also bring higher returns.
Shen Lingzhu said: "If you want your company to do it, you can also buy all our goods and sell them freely."
When the carpenter calculated her quote, he shook his head like a rattle, and then he heard her suddenly ask how much the guitar without strings cost.
"Not for sale. This was custom-made for Mr. Xue's family in the city. The strings are still being selected."
"Oh." She didn't know what Mr. Xue's house was.
But his uncle Huang Zongqi knew about it, and after leaving the carpenter's house, he said to the two bamboos, "The Xue family is very famous in Baozhou.
It is said that this was a branch of the Xue family in Hexi that was ordered to separate during the reign of Emperor Taizu. In the past hundred years, four of their members passed the imperial examinations and eight passed the imperial examinations.
There were even twenty or thirty scholars, which meant that the family was prosperous.
Oh, by the way, your grandma once mentioned that the Xue family and your family are related."
"Should there be?" Shen Lingzhu didn't know, but Shen Miaozhu nodded and said, "Last time in the capital, my elder brother said he had relatives there.
But maybe because I don’t walk around often, I’m not familiar with it.”
Shen Lingzhu was not interested in this. No matter how powerful his relatives were, they were not as powerful as himself.
So for the next two days, apart from giving two free items to Baorentang, a place she knew before, she worked extremely hard to promote the bellows rocking chair to every shop.
The two trucks of goods were sold until only half were left, and two other carpenters were found who were willing to buy the production methods.
As expected, the prefecture was prosperous and business was good. Now they had earned more than one hundred taels of silver. As for the business outside Shun County, the Xia Wang family no longer received dividends, and after deducting the costs, all the profits were for the Shen family.
Together with those sold in the county town, it can almost pay back the 150 taels of loan from Qixingguan in advance.
During this period, my uncle Huang Zongqi would go to the city gate from time to time to see if my seventh uncle had arrived.
My senior sister was not idle either. Every time she entered a restaurant, she would look at the names of the dishes and snacks.
When the bellows were almost sold out, she quickly wrote down a few recipes and desserts that were not available in the capital, and said, "After my uncle leaves, we will go sell these.
At least, it's some extra business."
"But when will Uncle Qi arrive? Has his pass been issued smoothly?" No one has come for four days, and Shen Lingzhu is a little anxious.
People can't stand nagging. Half an hour later, Shen Lingzhu and her senior sister saw the dusty seventh uncle Shen He and Shen Songzhu.
When they happily invited people into the rented house, Shen He said, "Don't worry, there are people in the car behind."
"Grandma, Second Grandma?" The two followed him. After Shen Songzhu lifted the curtain of the carriage, they never expected that there were two old ladies inside.
After welcoming the people into the courtyard, they immediately helped the two elders to wash up.
"Why did you two come to the provincial capital?" For the first time, Shen Miaozhu was more eager to know the reason than her junior sister.
Grandma smiled and said, "Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and I'm coming to visit relatives in the city."
"Grandma, do you think we will believe it?" Shen Lingzhu asked while patting the old lady's shoulder.
The second wife, who was not very talkative, said at this time: "Why don't you believe it? We already have relatives in the capital.
But, strictly speaking, we can't be considered relatives."
"Second Madam, please help me." Shen Lingzhu didn't understand what she said.
Then the two old ladies looked at each other and sighed together to explain the whole story.
A few days ago, after learning that they were detained in the county town, the uncle was worried that his two nieces would also encounter trouble in the provincial capital.
Originally, he wanted his nephew Song Zhu to go to the provincial capital to pick up his two nephews on behalf of his son.
But Mrs. Hu, who knew the two children well, thought that Shen Songzhu could not be taken back by herself. The two girls were righteous and might persuade their brother to join them in selling goods in the nearby county town.
So he and Mrs. Hu went to the house in person and asked the two old ladies to come to the city to keep an eye on things, one to ensure the smooth flow of business, and the other to keep an eye on the two children and prevent them from running wild.
The third is to send holiday gifts to the Xue family in the provincial capital.
Because the old concubine of the Xue family is a girl from the Shen family, and some people do not consider the concubine's family to be a real relative.
Shen Lingjia was puzzled: "If it doesn't count, why is there movement again?"
According to her observation, although there were some unremarkable people in the Shen family, she had never seen a girl from any family become a concubine.
The Second Mistress glanced at her eldest sister-in-law before she said, "Because she gave birth to two sons, one passed the imperial examination and became an official, and the other passed the imperial examination and sought to become a county instructor in Hejian Prefecture.
This concubine was even granted an imperial title by her son."
She was the eldest wife's daughter, and the eldest grandmother continued, "After receiving the imperial edict, she began to move around the family.
But she insisted on being a concubine, which almost angered her mother to death. Your great-grandfather didn't recognize her.
So the relatives who have been visiting over the years have been rather awkward, and the two families have only exchanged festive gifts."
After a pause, she continued, "So, our visit to visit relatives is genuine. Tomorrow, your seventh uncle will deliver the gifts.
When he arrives in Beijing, we can start our journey home?"
"So, we don't have to go to the Xue family." Shen Lingzhu breathed a sigh of relief. It's hard to adapt to such a noble family.
As a result, just as the grandmother nodded, Shen Songzhu hurriedly lifted the curtain and walked in: "The Xue family is here to invite you."
Shen Lingzhu and his senior sister exchanged glances: This news is too well-informed.
