When Shen Tingjun saw that his mother had nothing to do, he was about to turn around and leave.
The old lady looked at her son's cold and calm face, and became more and more flustered. She opened her mouth and called out to Shen Tingjun who was about to leave, "Da Lang."
Shen Tingjun looked back and asked, "What else can I do, mother?"
"It's nothing important. It's not that Lin Shangshu's wife invited me to have a spring outing a few days ago." The old lady paused for a moment, then continued with a meaningful expression: "Lin Shangshu's wife My granddaughter is also turning seventeen this year. I have met that girl several times before. She is beautiful, gentle and lovely. She is also a well-known talented woman in the capital, and she has no choice in terms of appearance and rules..."
The old lady was still trying her best to promote Lin Shangshu's little granddaughter, but Shen Tingjun suddenly interrupted the old lady. "Mother, Lin Shangshu is the Prime Minister of Otsuka and is in charge of the Ministry of Personnel. Cousin Xiuwen is married to the right minister of the Ministry of Personnel. And I am in charge of Dali Temple. Mother, the in-law relationship is something that saints are wary of, not to mention that we are both in high positions. If we are related Too close is not good for anyone."
"Ah? Is that so?"
Seeing that his mother was a little confused, Shen Tingjun simply sat back down and started talking to his mother carefully. "Today's wise people especially don't like courtiers to form cliques and cliques for personal gain. The power of Otsuka Prime Minister and I are too high, and the prestige is too great. If we really get married, His Majesty, even if he doesn't say anything on the face, will definitely not like it in his heart."
"But now that courtier doesn't have an in-law relationship? Just like Uncle Ping's family, that in-law relationship can involve all the powerful people in the capital. If the emperor wants to be afraid, why not be afraid of him first?"
Uncle Ping'an is a famous person in the capital. He is famous as he is famous. He gave birth to more than ten daughters in succession before he had a son, who is now the eldest son of Uncle Ping'an's mansion.
For several generations, Uncle Ping'an was a mediocre person, sitting in the palace with nothing but nothing, and he was about to completely fade out of the circle of powerful people. The clinker is that Uncle Ping'an has more than a dozen girls, each with his or her own merits. When they got married, every girl was married to a good family. With more in-laws, there are more helpers, so the Ping'an Mansion, which should have faded out of the wealthy and powerful circles of the capital, has been in trouble again in the past two years.
When the old lady mentioned Uncle Ping'an's mansion, Shen Tingjun murmured slightly, "My mother also knows that Uncle Ping'an is a mediocre person. He is incompetent in literature and martial arts. So far, there is only one lord, and there is no real difference in the court."
For such an uncle, it is strange that the emperor would take him seriously. No matter how many daughters he married and how many in-laws he made, the emperor would not be wary of him.
Unlike those important officials in the court, their in-law relationships were all remembered in Emperor Longqing's mind. If the in-laws were too prosperous, the emperor would try to suppress them.
Shen Tingjun implicitly informed the old lady about this matter, and then stood up to leave.
The old lady was willing to give up halfway, but the granddaughter of Lin Shangshu's family couldn't do it, and the eldest daughter of Taifu Liang should definitely do it.
The old lady said: "As you said, it's not that the emperor does not allow courtiers to get married. It's just because Otsuka Zai's identity is too sensitive that you want to avoid taboos. But there is no taboo about Taifu Liang's identity. Taifu Liang is a typical loyal and upright person. No matter how much others try to woo you, he will not be moved. I think the emperor will be happy to see you marrying the eldest daughter of Taifu Liang's family."
The old lady talked about the good fortune of Taifu Liang's eldest daughter again.
Although the girl reconciled and returned home, it was not her fault that she was married. But the man had promised to be a couple for the rest of their lives after marriage. As a result, Liang Haoxin became pregnant, and the man's mother arranged several concubines for her. The man didn't refuse, and accepted it openly under the pretext of "mother's kindness".
Liang Haoxin was a proud and arrogant person, how could she endure such humiliation and pushback from her husband. She also had a bad temper, maybe out of anger, so she drank the medicine that day, and the fetus was shed in the evening.
When things got serious, Taifu Liang personally took his daughter home. At this point, the relationship with the man's family was severed and the two parties reconciled.
In the past few years, Liang Haoxin rarely showed up at banquets. She basically lived in another courtyard and lived a very free and easy life.
The old lady took a fancy to this girl's temperament that could be taken care of and let go. When she came to the Hou Mansion, she also needed a mistress who could take care of things, so she mentioned this girl named Liang Haoxin.
Seeing that her son was indifferent, the old lady said attentively: "You and Hao Sheng are good friends, and you have met Haoxin a lot. You know that she is really a good candidate. You and Hao Sheng are so close, If you and Haoxin get married, wouldn't it be an even better kiss? What a great thing."
"Then what if the marriage doesn't work out? Wouldn't it be awkward for me to meet Haosheng? Or maybe the two of us had problems after the marriage and had to divorce. Wouldn't Haosheng and I not even be friends anymore?"
Liang Haosheng and Liang Haoxin are biological siblings. They share the same mother and have always had a good relationship. If Liang Haosheng's identity changes from a good friend to a brother-in-law, it will be clear who he will favor. It is not unimaginable to have a falling out with Shen Tingjun because of his sister.
"How can we reconcile? Haoxin is such a good girl, and there is nothing wrong with my husband. You two are destined to grow old together."
"Mother, did you say the same thing when I got married last time? But what were the consequences?"
The old lady was speechless by her son's question, and her face turned blue immediately.
When her son married Changrong, she also felt that it was a good match. Changrong was outstanding in everything, and she was the first among the noble ladies in the capital. Even the eldest princess of Emperor Longqing and the Queen was not as outstanding as Changrong. But who could have expected that they divorced less than a year after they got married.
The old lady still sighs when she mentions this matter.
Now that his son is comparing his marriage with Changrong, the old lady cannot help but consider it without hesitation.
Dalang and Changrong were childhood sweethearts, but they separated after only a year. Dalang and Haoxin have no relationship foundation. If something doesn't go their way after this, wouldn't they be about to separate?
After all, both of them were divorced, and they were not inexperienced.
When the old lady thought of this, her head felt heavy.
When Shen Tingjun saw this, he said, "Mom, don't worry about me. The fate is determined by fate. If my son doesn't have such fate, it's not impossible for his son to grow old alone in this life."
After hearing this, the old lady ignored her headache and reached out to pat Shen Tingjun on the body: "You rebellious son, if you say such things in front of me, aren't you going to stab your mother in the heart with a knife?"
Shen Tingjun also realized that these words may be serious. He immediately softened his expression and whispered: "After all, this is what my son means. When fate comes, you can't stop it. If fate doesn't come, you can't force it. Mother doesn't have to do it. Worry about me. I am such an old man and I know what I am doing. If mother has time, she might as well take care of Rong An more. I saw that Rong An has been much silent these days and has lost a lot of weight. Sanlang entered the Gongyuan, Mother might as well take Rong An to her and raise her, so as to soothe Rong An's uneasiness."
The old lady's attention was diverted.
She also felt sorry for her little grandson. He was such a lovely person, but he had such a girl. Now that the Zhou family has been sent to the family temple, Sanlang has also entered the Gongyuan, and the people Rongan is most familiar with are not here, the child must be so scared.
The old lady immediately got up and went to look for her good grandson. Shen Tingjun took the opportunity to get up and leave, directly leaving the Hou Mansion.
After leaving the Hou Mansion, I didn't know where to go.
Finally, after standing at the door for a moment, Shen Tingjun ordered Cheng Yi: "Bring the horse to Dali Temple."
Cheng Yi said nothing and turned back to lead the horse.
Later, the master and the servant went to Dali Temple together, but they frightened the officials who were taking advantage of the opportunity.
Didn’t everyone say that Mr. Hou had something going on at home and couldn’t come over today? This sudden attack was just to scare them to death so that the Marquis' cronies could be placed in Dali Temple, right?
…
But Qing'er's wound finally healed. Sang Nianyue personally sent him to the academy, and then took the maid to the street.
She was planning to open a bookstore, just to kill time.
She doesn't know how to run anything else, such as rouge, gouache, and silk and cloth. She has no recipe, no one, and no management experience.
Only the bookstore is the business of the ancestors in the family. She grew up in a bookstore, and under the influence of her ears and eyes, she understood everything she should know. Next, she still has a few old shopkeepers in her hands. She doesn’t mention anything else except Uncle Mute. He is really a capable person. Even though he can’t speak, he makes the book store run smoothly. Even his father didn’t know how to do it at the beginning. He praised Uncle Dumb as a "capable man".
She had no choice but to close the library, but the books inside were properly placed. Now that I have nothing to do, I just want to open the bookstore again. I don't want to make a lot of money, I just want to have a place to kill time. Next, we will also provide those poor students with the opportunity to work, so that they will not be too poor to study and not be too poor to fill their stomachs.
Sang Nianyue took Su Jin around the street and came across several shops for sale or lease.
It's just that the other party doesn't know if they look at her because they are looking down on her, or they think she can't handle it and they don't want to talk to her anymore, or they just look at her as a stranger and want to blackmail her, so they either don't offer the price. , or the price is several levels too high.
Sang Nuanyue and Su Jin searched around for two or three days, but couldn't find a store they wanted. Instead, they were so angry that they didn't look very good after returning home.
It was some old people in the backyard who heard about this and suggested that they take care of this trivial matter. After they find the shop and negotiate the price, the girl will confirm it then. If you like it, buy it; if you don't, look for something else. After all, the shop is not in a hurry to open. The most urgent task now is to transport the books here first.
Because she was taking care of this whole thing, Sang Nianyue had no time to pay too much attention to Qing'er, so much so that Qing'er was a little lost in the past few days, and she didn't notice it.
Nine days passed in a blink of an eye, and soon it was time for the scientific examination to end, and the students all left the Gongyuan.
As usual, Qing'er would have run out to join in the fun.
He is getting wilder and wilder now, running out at every turn. Fortunately, I had two young men, Zhuye and Zhuqing, with me. These two people knew a little bit about boxing, and they had been used to making a living outside since they were young. They were somewhat aware of all kinds of shady things. With them following them, Sang Nianyue wasn't too worried.
But on this day, Qing'er came home as soon as school was over and didn't even leave the house. Sang Nianyue was puzzled, "Didn't you say earlier that you would go to the street to watch the excitement when the students left the tribute courtyard? Today is the end of the scientific examination, won't you go out? Or, you remembered the time wrongly ?”
Qing'er shook her head boredly, "It's not interesting. It's not interesting to stay at home with my sister."
Sang Nuanyue was very surprised. She looked at Qing'er carefully, and the loneliness on Qing'er's face suddenly turned into joy. "I'm staying with my sister at home, isn't she happy? My sister's thoughts are so difficult to guess, and they change so fast. I don't even know what my sister is thinking every day."
"Qing'er, did something happen to you?" Sang Nianyue frowned and looked at her brother and asked.
Qing'er just laughed and said, "Sister, you are overthinking, what could happen to me? Aren't I very good? Sister, please stop thinking about things that are not there, or think about it quickly and put all those things aside. Shipping books to the capital is a matter of course."
Sang Nuanyue stared at Qing'er carefully for a while, but Qing'er didn't know if she was shy or because she really had a stomachache. He immediately lowered his head and held his stomach and ran to the clean room, "No, I want to pay tribute."
Several maids said "Eh", and Su Xin even said, "Since the young master entered the private school, he has become more carefree. Young Master Qing'er used to be very elegant, but now he can talk about Chu Gong without changing his expression. This It’s too embarrassing.”
Sang Nuanyue was amused and felt that Qing'er was very rude now. But as a child, if you have a bad temper one day, you may have a completely different temper tomorrow.
Sang Nianyue looked at the direction her brother was leaving, still feeling a little uneasy. She called Zhuye and Zhuqing to her side and asked them if Qing'er had encountered anything in school.
Zhuye and Zhuqing rubbed the backs of their heads and thought again and again, but couldn't think of anything.
They are servants and cannot enter the school. When the young master was studying in the private school, the two of them were waiting outside the private school. Sometimes when I get bored, I just keep watch and walk around the streets alone. Anyway, I can ensure that when the young master comes out, someone will be waiting outside at any time.
But these days, they don't notice any difference between the young master and before.
The two monks Zhang Er couldn't figure it out. Seeing this, Sang Nianyue could only warn, "Watch Qing'er carefully in the next few days. You can't enter the private school, but you can talk more with the servants brought by the other students." Just talk, maybe you can learn something."
The two of them nodded hurriedly, "Girl, we understand."
"Go down."
After Zhuye Zhuqing left, Qing'er walked out of the clean room. He was still lying on the couch next to his sister, bored.
The weather is just right now, the sun is warm, and the sun is so warm that I can't help but yawn and want to sleep.
A camellia tree in the corner has also bloomed, and a large area of colorful flowers has bloomed. Bees and butterflies are flying among them. The courtyard is full of vitality and spring.
Qing'er watched her sister reading and slowly fell asleep. Seeing this, Sang Nuanyue asked Su Xin to bring a blanket and put it on Qing'er's abdomen.
After finishing these things, Su Xin said nonchalantly, "The third master of the Hou Mansion will end this year, right?"
Sang Nuanyue suddenly heard the word "Hou Mansion" and was still a little dazed. But after she calmed down and figured out what Su Xin said, she nodded expressionlessly, "That should be the case."
"The third master is also pitiful, having a wife like Zhou Baolu."
Sang Nianyue also felt that Shen Tinglan was quite pitiful, but he chose the person himself and married her on his own terms. It would be fine if he could detect Zhou Baolu's flaws in character in time after marriage and help correct them in time, but he didn't. So if Zhou Baolu doesn't bear the evil he has done, the troubles he has caused, and the trouble and pain he has caused, does he need others to bear it for him?
He deserves all this.
After thinking about Shen Tinglan, Shi Xingzhou couldn't help but pop up in his mind.
He is also the pick this year and should end up together.
However, this figure also fleetingly disappeared in her mind, and later Sang Nuanyue lowered her head and started reading again.
But Su Xin exclaimed again, patted her forehead as if she had made a big discovery and said, "Girl, have we all forgotten one thing?"
"What's the matter?" Sang Nianyue said casually.
"It's the Zhou family. Will the second young master Zhou Bingkun also end up this year?"
Sang Nuanyue suddenly raised her head and dug out Zhou Bingkun from the depths of the sea of consciousness.
Zhou Bingkun is Zhou Baolu's biological second brother.
Zhou's mother gave birth to a total of three sons and two daughters to the Zhou family. Zhou Baolu was the eldest daughter, the third eldest child in the family. She also had a younger sister, who was only one year younger than her. Unfortunately, she contracted smallpox when she was young and was not saved. She was less than three years old when she died.
Zhou's eldest son had mediocre knowledge, and relied on Zhou's father's "good fortune" to become a low-ranking official in the Huizhou Department of Agriculture and Agriculture. I heard that he was promoted a few years ago. I can't remember whether it was the seventh rank or from the seventh rank to Sang Nian Yue.
Zhou Baolu's second brother is Zhou Bingkun, who may come to Beijing to take the exam. He is a rare kind person in the Zhou family, but he has a warm temper and is a bit dull. If he hadn't been somewhat talented in reading, he might have been the last among the Zhou brothers and sisters.
As for Zhou Baolu's younger brother, he is even more of a demon king, let alone mentioning it.
Continuing to talk about Zhou Bingkun, who may be in Beijing to take the exam, this cousin Sang Nianyue has not seen much, but he also knows that both Zhou's father and Zhou's mother have high hopes for him.
The year before she got married, Zhou Bingkun passed the imperial examination. At that time, Zhou's father and mother were so happy that they set up a flowing banquet for three days.
It was rare for Sang Nianyue to get some good looks from Zhou's father and Zhou's mother in those few days. For this reason, Su Jin and others murmured in private, saying that they hoped that the second master would be admitted to the first place in one go. In this way, Zhou's father and Zhou's mother will be happy, and their lives will be easier.
However, I vaguely remember that Zhou Bingkun failed the exam in the spring of three years ago. Three years have passed since then, and he has spent three years sharpening his sword. He will definitely come back to fight this time.
So the question is, since Zhou Bingkun has come to Beijing, why have they never heard anyone mention it?
However, considering that they had not been with the Hou Mansion these days, they might not have known about Zhou Bingkun's visit to the Hou Mansion.
Then again, if Zhou Bingkun went to the Hou Mansion, he would definitely have known about Zhou Baolu being sent to the family temple. Will he not write home? Can Father Zhou and Mother Zhou not go to Beijing?
Thinking of Zhou's father and Zhou's mother, Sang Nuanyue's scalp felt numb and her fingertips trembled slightly.
Su Xin had obviously thought about this problem, and she was about to explode immediately, "No way, they are not really going to Beijing, are they?"
Su Jin said with a serious face: "There is at least a 50% chance of going to Beijing."
After all, Zhou Baolu's status in the Zhou family is different. She is the golden phoenix that flew out of the Zhou family, and the Zhou family takes her affairs very seriously. If they learned that Zhou Baolu was imprisoned by the Hou Mansion, they, as their natal family, would have to make a fuss. The purpose was to support Zhou Baolu and let the Hou Mansion release their daughter.
Zhou Baolu who was imprisoned was of no value. Only Zhou Baolu who was released would bring benefits to them.
Therefore, it is entirely possible for them to come to Beijing.
But there is also a half chance that they are afraid of the majesty of the Marquis Mansion and do not dare to make trouble, choosing to swallow this bitter taste silently.
Both are possible, but the former is more likely.
But all this is based on Zhou Bingkun's coming to Beijing, and they still don't know whether he has come to Beijing or not.
Su Jin said: "Girl, why don't I go to the Hou Mansion tomorrow and give something to the old lady."
Sang Nianyue nodded slightly: "The pot of Eighteen Bachelors in my house will bloom in the next two days. The old lady is a refined person. Please send this pot of Eighteen Bachelors over. The old lady will like it."
Su Xin continued: "Girl, didn't you make some clothes for the old lady? Don't forget to ask Su Jin to send them over. This is more or less a little thought from you. The old lady saw it and knew that you were thinking about her. This couple We only have benefits and no harm."
"It's good and bad. I don't want to do anything against the old lady. The old lady treated us well before, and we have to repay this kindness."
Su Xin stuck out her tongue playfully, "Girl, everything you said is right."
While the master and servants were talking, they didn't notice that Gululu moved a few times under Qing'er's eyelids next to her.
Qing'er also thought of Zhou Bingkun. He had some impressions of this cousin.
Since his sister asked Sister Sujin to go to the Hou Mansion to inquire about the situation, he would go to the major restaurants in the capital tomorrow.
After all, Zhou Bingkun is dull and dull, and is very bad at communicating with others. It is very possible that he came to Beijing instead of settling in the Marquis Mansion. He has to find someone tomorrow to see if this cousin has come to Beijing. If he really comes to Beijing and has not contacted the Hou Mansion, then he does not know Zhou Baolu's situation. He has to stop him from writing a letter to his family in time and prevent Zhou's father and mother from coming to Beijing.
The two siblings, each thinking about it, were thinking about this matter, but they had completely forgotten that Zhou Baolu was just sent to the family temple to clean up, and it was true that her movements were restricted, but after all, she was the wife of the Hou Mansion, and the Hou Mansion Naturally, there will be no restrictions on her communication.
Therefore, whether Zhou's father and Zhou's mother went to Beijing or not, it was completely useless to just capture Zhou Bingkun.
However, the two siblings naturally hadn't thought of this at this time. They hurriedly fell asleep worriedly and were busy the next day.
Qing'er went out early in the morning. Today happened to be a holiday and she didn't have to go to school. But Sang was so confused that she completely forgot about this. However, when she was talking to Uncle Dumb later, she suddenly remembered that today was a day off that only happens every ten days. Holiday.
So the question is, since there is no need to go to private school today, where did Qing'er go with Zhuye and Zhuqing early in the morning?
As the child grew older and wilder, Sang Nianyue decided that this time when Qing'er returned home, she would interrogate him about his whereabouts. At the same time, he had to tighten the strings for him, but just because she was loose, he couldn't tune it any less. If that were the case, she would have to use the stick.
*
Sang Nuanyue was angrily thinking about how to deal with her younger brother. When Su Jin arrived at the gate of the Hou Mansion, she happened to meet Shen Tingjun who was about to go out.
Su Jin was too busy to greet her, and Shen Tingjun was about to turn around, but suddenly stopped.
He seemed to be unable to remember who Su Jin was, and stared at her with cold eyes.
The gaze seemed to be looking at her, but it was more like looking through her at other people.
When the guards present saw the Marquis stopping at the gate, they all stood up straighter, and no one dared to make any sound.
When Su Jin noticed Shen Hou's gaze, she couldn't help but tremble all over.
It had been many days since Shen Hou had been seen, and the coldness in Mr. Hou's body became even stronger, as if it was about to solidify. The way he looked at people became more and more oppressive. Su Jin had to muster all her strength to avoid falling to the ground in a panic.
Maybe a long time passed, or maybe it was just a moment. When Shen Tingjun spoke, his voice was still cold and intimidating, making people unable to stop trembling.
"What are you doing here?"
It took Su Jin a moment to realize that the Marquis was asking her, and she hurriedly turned sideways to reveal the little maid following behind her.
The little maid held a long paper box in her hand, with no idea what was inside. However, there is a faint fragrance, which leaks out from inside, allowing people to imagine what is inside.
It's time to spend it.
Su Jin explained: "This is a pot of 18th-bachelor camellia. The girl knew that the old lady liked these elegant things the most, so she maintained it carefully for a long time. Now there are many buds on the camellia, and some of them are even blooming. The girl urged me Send it to the old lady quickly."
Then he raised the box in his hand slightly and said, "Here are the clothes that the girl made for the old lady herself, and a cake that was baked when she left the house. They are all made by the girl herself."
Under Shen Tingjun's oppressive gaze, Su Jin's voice became lower and lower, and her voice became weaker and weaker.
She didn't know why she felt guilty. It was clear that the girl and the Marquis had only had a few days of flirting, but now they had long since lost contact, and the Marquis no longer went to Sang's house. The two parties are in a state of being strangers for the rest of their lives. Isn't it an exaggeration for the girl to give the old lady something thoughtful?
Although the friendship with the Marquis is gone, the girl and the old lady still have some friendship. The girl was treated favorably by the old lady. When she got something good, she remembered the old lady and sent it to her, right?
Su Jin's mind quickly turned over many things, but her expression became even stiffer. Just because Shen Hou slowly stepped forward, not only opened the top box, but also seemed to be fascinated by the pastry.
Not only Su Jin became panicked, but even the guards guarding the door stood solemnly at this time.
By the way, the Marquis personally inspected the cakes. Could it be that he was worried that Miss Sang had poisoned her? Or, if you think you can't get these things, Miss Sang still asks people to send them to you. Is it too embarrassing?
Everyone has different thoughts in their hearts, but no one dares to show it.
Fortunately, the Marquis went out for a visit today and was pressed for time. Therefore, after closing the box again, Shen Tingjun stepped down the steps, mounted his horse and took Cheng Lin away.
It wasn't until the two men disappeared into the distance that Su Jin and the little maid behind him couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The little maid was Que'er. She had never seen any big scenes, and Shen Hou's majesty was too great. The little maid was so frightened that her face was covered in cold sweat. She had a wrinkled face at this time, and she was almost scared to cry.
Seeing this, Su Jin winked at her, telling her to calm down quickly and enter the Marquis's mansion soon. She couldn't embarrass the girl.
Su Jin is a familiar face in the Hou family, and everyone in charge knows her. As soon as the matter was reported to the old lady, Shuangli came to pick him up personally.
When they arrived at the old lady's yard, the old lady was looking forward to it with great interest.
When she saw that only Su Jin and a young maid came over this time, but Sang Nianyue herself did not show up, the old lady couldn't help but said regretfully: "What is Nianyue busy at home? Why don't you come to the Hou Mansion for so many days?" look at me?"
Su Jin hurriedly said: "The girl is going to find a shop and make a living. Now, the girl is busy with this matter."
The old lady became interested as soon as she heard this.
The last time she went to Sangzhai to apologize to Nianyue, she did hear Su Jin talk about this, but she was thinking about other things at that time, so she didn't take it to heart. Now that Su Jin has mentioned this matter again, is it confirmed what kind of business it is? Have you even set up the shop?
When Su Jin heard the old lady's question, she replied with a smile: "How can it be so easy? It's easy to talk about buying and selling. The Sang family's ancestors all ran bookstores, and now there are still many books and paintings hidden in the old house. , these are easy to handle, and can be opened after being transported. But the key is that we can’t find a suitable shop. The girl took us around the streets for several days, but we still couldn’t find anything we wanted. Now we are worried about this matter. "
After hearing this, the old lady first said: "We are going to open a bookstore. This business is elegant." However, there are too many famous bookstores in the capital, and the powerful people are all determined. They basically buy things like the four treasures of the study there. Several time-honored brands. As for some bookstores that cater to ordinary students, because of their thin profits, they earn a lot of money every year.
It may be difficult for Nianyue to support her family with this.
However, the old lady thought that since Ancestor Nian Yue had many books and scrolls, there might be treasures inside. Businesses like this kind of jewelry, jade, antiques, and books are a business that does not open for three years and lasts for three years after opening. The sale of one picture scroll was enough for the siblings to have food and drink for three years.
But don’t be afraid even if there aren’t any good things inside, she can just make people buy them at a high price.
With the score in her mind, the old lady no longer worried about the two siblings. But when Su Jin said that she couldn't find a suitable shop after wandering around for several days, the old lady immediately clapped her hands and said cheerfully: "The Marquis Mansion is full of shops. Just wait, I'll have the steward called. , let him find a shop for you, and then you can ask Nianyue to open a bookstore there."
Su Jin was shocked when he heard this.
How could the girl not think of Wu Anhou in the Marquis's shop?
Finally, the girl calmed down and stopped thinking about these things. She didn't want the Hou Mansion to have an ongoing relationship with them again.
Su Jin hurriedly said: "You are so kind-hearted, and I appreciate it for us girls. But the shop in the Hou Mansion was doing other things before we came here. It's not appropriate for us to rashly steal someone else's place."
The old lady waved her hand carelessly and said with a smile: "It's nothing. We don't look for the shops that are doing business now. We just look for the empty shops, or look at the expired ones. I'm sure we can find a few. .”
