Shu Shu sneered, feeling very guilty.
This "Jiangmen" has too much water!
When it comes to talking about Tang Bo's palace, it is called "Jiangmen", which is indeed true to its name.
After all, my great-grandfather, great-uncle, and uncle were all fierce generals with great achievements in battle.
When we arrived at home, our great-great-grandfather had been on the battlefield and was awarded the title of second-class uncle for his military exploits. However, his grandfather had been a bodyguard all his life, and the uncles of this generation were not even registered in the military register.
My own Ama, from assistant leader to counselor leader to commander-in-chief, was a military attache. In fact, he was more like a housekeeper, managing all the general affairs of the Eight Banners.
Although in the 35th year of Kangxi's reign, the imperial commander personally conquered Zhungeer, and Ama also accompanied him, they were just part of the team. They were more responsible for logistics coordination and had no military merit.
"If anyone else asks, just tell me that I ordered you to set up a target... I am a little lacking in archery and want to come back to practice more... When you marry and obey your husband, no matter whether you like it or not, you can only listen to me..."
In a moment, Brother Ninth had a countermeasure.
Shu Shu was very touched, and her eyes were so gentle that water could drip from her eyes.
Unexpectedly, Brother Jiu was so responsible when something happened. He obviously didn't like to act out of line, but this time he took the blame.
It was an unexpected surprise.
"Thank you... I just want you to suffer..."
Shu Shu held Brother Jiu's arm and said softly.
You can't lie with bare teeth. Since Brother Jiu said this, he decided to practice more when he comes back in the future. Otherwise, how could he fool others?
In fact, before Shu Shu got married, she had heard Ama mention the matter of her ninth elder brother. He was not outstanding in literary studies, riding or shooting, and preferred Western knowledge.
In the eyes of the world, it means that he is not doing his job properly and is not good at civil and military affairs.
Because of this, Qi Xi often complained to his daughter in private, despising the prince's son-in-law who was unable to do anything.
However, Shu Shu could see that Brother Ninth was not stupid in his qualifications, but just didn't like it, just like later generations of students who were partial to subjects.
I don't like Confucianism, and I don't like riding and shooting.
Now, in order to help herself cover up, she took the initiative to mention archery that she didn't like. How could Shu Shu not be moved?
Brother Jiu is quite a bit soft-spoken, and he can still handle it if Shu Shu tries hard, but being so docile is a bit unlike her.
Brother Jiu actually felt distressed, but he still spoke harshly and raised his chin and said: "Humph! If you marry me, if I don't protect you, who can protect you? Just be more careful in the future and discuss anything with me in advance. Listen to my idea...don't act like you did today and frighten me..."
"Well, well, I will listen to you from now on..."
Shu Shu was very obedient, nodded honestly, and remembered telling the dining room to stay late, and asking Sun Jin to take the money to the dining room to stock up on eggs, dried vegetables, etc., and told him one by one.
After hearing this, Brother Jiu didn't say anything. He just reminded: "Eating well is not the way to maintain health... Since you want to keep fit, you should pay more attention to your diet in the future. Even if you use it later, try to use it as little as possible." …”
Shu Shu was unsure about one thing: "By the way, master, it's the tenth master's place. It's the time when the body is growing. I'm afraid I'll be hungry at night. Do you want to prepare an extra serving later?"
Brother Jiu thought for a moment, but shook his head: "One more thing is worse than one less thing... On weekdays, it is not eye-catching to send an extra meal to the study room. After all, the prince's dining room there is not complete... But to warm up a snack at night, It's always possible to cook noodles... If we cook too much, it won't be good. It just makes the starling not look after his brothers..."
In the eyes of the ninth elder brother, the tenth elder brother is a good brother who grew up together, but the eighth elder brother is also a good brother who grew up with him, and there is no distinction between who is more affectionate.
Shu Shu didn't say anything more.
If you do more, you will make more mistakes. If you do less, you will make fewer mistakes. If you do less, it is better. This is consistent in ancient and modern times.
Brother Jiu had just finished worrying about his wife's illness, and he couldn't help but think of something else: "The summer is long, and I'm not here all day long. It's boring for you to be alone..." Thinking of Bafujin next door, and the two of them. Feeling dissatisfied, he swallowed the words on his lips and changed his words: "It would be great if the fifth sister-in-law was here, you can still spend time together... It's not convenient to go there because of the distance. It's okay to go there once or twice. It’s okay, otherwise it’s easy to catch people’s tongue, and it wouldn’t be good if you get hit…”
Shu Shu didn't like to hang around, but she said cooperatively: "It's okay, just wait until Aunt Ten gets married, and then we will have a companion..."
Thinking of that scene, Brother Ninth also laughed and was very optimistic: "As early as a few years ago, when the Mongolian concubine Abahai came to Beijing for pilgrimage, Khan Ama thought about the Borjigit family through the wind. It’s time to learn Mandarin next year... Even if you can’t speak it well, you can communicate in Mongolian and you should have no problem..."
Shu Shu smiled and nodded. Because she was taken care of by Grandma Qi since she was a child, she had a good impression of the Mongolians.
Mongolians are more straightforward, don't have so many twists and turns, and are sincere when making friends.
Because Brother Ninth just thought of Wufujin, Shu Shu couldn't help but think of the warehouse and said, "Sir, was Grandma Liu also keeping the account books in the warehouse before?"
Brother Jiu looked her over: "No, it's in the drawer of the desk in the front yard... Why, you want to raid my private room again?" At this point, his tone became a little sour: "More than 10,000 yuan of banknotes. Keep it, still not satisfied?"
Shu Shu rolled her eyes at him: "Master, in your mind, am I the one who is greedy for money? Isn't this a 'returning gift'? I don't know whether the Ministry of Internal Affairs prepared it, or we prepared it ourselves... If we prepare it ourselves, we can't take away the money in the dowry. If you send something back, what will happen to it?"
Brother Jiu didn't take it seriously and said: "The Ministry of Internal Affairs will prepare one as usual, but don't worry, I have already asked Aunt Liu to prepare another one, so that she won't lose your face..."
Shu Shu smiled lightly: "It's hard to worry about me. I'll thank you here first, and then I'll thank Grandma Liu properly..."
Listening to Brother Jiu's words, I really trust this Aunt Liu.
Shu Shu didn't know what to say at this time, so she changed her words and said: "By the way, do you have any arrangements with that shop and the two Zhuangzi... Zhuangzi and other things, it's too late to change to something this year, I'm afraid it's too late... …It’s a good shop, with a good location and spacious space…”
Even though those properties have not been officially transferred, Shu Shu has no intention of taking them as his own.
Brother Jiu created Qianjinfang before because he wanted to find a way to make money to supplement the money, so as to save money when money was tight.
Hearing Shu Shu mention this, he couldn't help but think about it: "The business of the wine shop where we rented the shop before was not good, so I wanted to turn it into a tea house... Now that the population of the Eight Banners is growing, there are many idle people, and the tea house has good opinions... I met someone outside. Guest, let me ask you some news, the teahouse is more convenient..."
Shu Shu blinked, but she really didn't expect Brother Jiu to think about the teahouse.
Although teahouses and tea houses are not the same thing, they are also related to the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain.
Seeing that Shu Shu didn't speak, Brother Jiu had a misunderstanding and explained: "I didn't imitate you... I had this idea a long time ago. I didn't think of it after seeing you split up the Qianjinfang shop and build a teahouse..."
Shu Shu smiled and said: "It's surprising to me that when I am in the palace, I will also pay attention to the external economy..."
"What's this? People's livelihood economy is nothing more than food, clothing, housing and transportation... But this is all trivial and can't make a lot of money. The real money is made by antique shops, pawn shops, banks, banks... all the money is made. It's money from rich people, not hard-earned money..."
Brother Jiu said, looking a little more proud.
Shu Shu smiled softly: "I'm optimistic about it, so I'll send people to make arrangements. I just happen to have this amount of money right now..."
"Who's planning?"
Brother Jiu looked at Shu Shu angrily: "That bastard Gui Dan cheated me twice, how can I still dare to use him?"
"Didn't I think highly of Shopkeeper Hou before? He has been the shopkeeper for many years, and he does have some merits, and his behavior is trustworthy... I also have two companions outside, and one of them, a naughty brother, started to work with Shopkeeper Hou. I heard that he is quite savvy, and I will use it for training in the future..."
Shu Shu made a silent suggestion.
Since Brother Ninth has a good heart, Shu Shu is very happy to support him in expanding his financial resources.
Even in Kangxi's eyes, being fond of business was not doing his job properly, and he was more likable than his son who was fighting for power and profit.
Besides, the title of nobility is far away, and if you want to spend more money, you have to find a way, and you can't use Shu Shu's marriage income.
Brother Jiu hummed softly and said with dissatisfaction: "Isn't it time for me to beg you? When you took over Qianjinfang, I gave you a wink and you didn't see it. Why didn't you show mercy to me? Did you accept those people? At that time, I There is no one here. Grandpa got the news and specially sent two people from Shengjing to give me orders. It’s good now that they are idle and we can’t send them back..."
It is related to the future open source, which is the joint property of husband and wife.
Shu Shu stopped smiling and looked serious.
Brother Jiu looked at it and felt a little familiar...this...
Want to be reasonable again?
Shu Shu said in a solemn tone: "I saw the look in your eyes at that time, and I didn't hesitate in my heart. After all, I can still sell you a favor... But this business operation requires careful consideration. It is not just a matter of giving orders. The choice of shopkeeper is very important. ...After all, regardless of my identity or my identity, whatever I want to run, that is, I have an idea on my forehead, and it is the next person who is going to take care of it...The shopkeeper must be a loyal servant, and my grandfather will be able to handle it with confidence. I came here to give me orders. I didn’t talk about anything else. I just talked about the business situation of Qianjinfang, and I knew that the shopkeeper didn’t seem to have a business mind..."
"It's not entirely his fault. It's because Guidan didn't choose the right location when he bought his shop... If it hadn't happened to be right across from your bank, it wouldn't have been so bad..."
Brother Jiu was not unkind to his subordinates and said something fair.
Shu Shu shook her head and retorted: "I often go to Gulou Street, where there are many shops... To the south, there are restaurants next to each other, and I haven't seen any that are so sluggish that they can't continue to do business... The middle one is far away from us. Not far from the silver building, there are several silk and satin shops next to each other, and there is an endless stream of customers...Have you ever thought about it carefully, what is the reason?"
