Liu Ruolan no longer interfered with how Xu Ruyi managed the inner house. After all, the Wang family was different from theirs. They knew it from the inside, so the rules of the inner house were also very strict.
After the Chinese New Year, Xie Xiuwen was thinking about preparing to make a living.
They don't have much money on hand now, so they can't always rest on their laurels and have to find ways to make money.
This is the foot of the emperor, and Xie Xiuwen does not dare to risk his own future.
In the past, in the county, one could still say that the shop was the wife's dowry, but this is the capital, so you can't say that the wife's dowry is also in the capital, right?
Xie Xiuwen was thinking about the people he could use, and naturally the first one that came to mind was the Xie clan.
But if you apply for business registration, it would not be appropriate.
In the past, I was making small fuss in the county. After a year of hard work, I only got one or two hundred taels of silver, which would not attract anyone's attention.
But this is the capital, and he doesn't dare to be careless.
And he doesn't have much money on hand now. Even if he wants to make a living, he can only rent a shop. He really doesn't have the money to buy a shop.
Xie Xiuwen thought very simply, just sell the fragrant braised pork.
Xie Xiuwen thought about his wife's uncle's family, who are now living in poverty. Although the Liu family has helped them in recent years, there is a limit to what the Liu family can do, and I heard that there are many Zi Yi on the other side, and they are not that easy to help. If you choose a few ages It's okay to keep the small ones around you. After all, they are relatives on the sidelines.
Xie Xiuwen also wrote a letter to Boss Liu to remind them to put the shop in the name of a relative or servant first, so as to avoid trouble in the future.
Liu Xiancheng is now well versed in the ways of officialdom. He knows that when someone tries to trick you, he will not let you notice at all.
Xie Xiuwen's reminder made him immediately alert, and he simply named his shop under the name of his servant.
It's a death deed anyway, and everything in the servant's name belongs to the master's family.
The braised vegetable restaurant in Gaoyang County has not been moved for the time being, and it is still under Liu Ruolan's name.
This is a dowry, and all the procedures are complete, so you don't have to worry about anyone checking it.
The letter has been sent, and now I just have to wait for the news.
When the Liu family received the letter, they began to select a few useful young people and send them to the capital.
Liu Laoer didn't trust his uncles, so he simply went there himself and selected a few who were smart and hard-working.
Boss Liu could see it in his confidence. If he failed this exam, his brother-in-law would probably have to stay in Beijing and study hard.
This study costs the most money. Let’s not talk about the gifts for my husband’s repairs and three birthdays. Just the pen, ink, paper and inkstone are not a small sum. And in a wealthy place like the capital, this expense can only be more than before. More, never less.
Therefore, when Liu Laoer proposed to choose in person, he did not stop him.
"Choose a few more. If they get to the capital and they can't be used, just let them come back."
Liu Ruolan's uncle's family, whose surname is Fang, was considered a prosperous family in the early years. However, he later offended the Fang family in the town. Later, his small business was punished. In addition, several of the elders of the Fang family were incompetent, so his life was just like this. Every day is getting worse.
Up to now, the Fang family can't even afford to provide for a scholar, and one of their uncles can't even afford to eat now.
Liu Laoer showed his attitude when he arrived at Fang's house as Xie Xiuwen said in his letter.
The family with the worst conditions immediately responded to the offer of free money. As for the fact that their children and grandchildren could not take the scientific examination, it was nothing to them.
These days, your stomach is almost full. What else can you think of?
Besides, the Fang family is not a scholarly family, and they probably don’t have that destiny either.
In this way, Liu Laoer first took out ten taels of silver, wrote the deed and the power of attorney, and asked him to put his fingerprints on it, and then he could send it directly to the capital.
The other rooms in the Fang family got ten taels of silver just to see how happy they were. How can we not be greedy?
As soon as Liu Laoer saw them like this, he knew that the matter of selecting people would be easy to handle.
In less than an hour, Liu Laoer picked out three.
They are all young students, the oldest is only fourteen and the youngest is ten years old.
"When we go back to the capital with the caravan, you follow me to the county first. Bring your clothes and other things. I will teach you the rules first. Don't embarrass us again when we get to the capital."
"Yes, uncle, we will do a good job."
These boys were all from the younger generation, and Liu Laoer didn't dare to use them if they were too old, for fear that they would be too preoccupied and might trick his brother-in-law.
Liu Laoer knew that his brother-in-law had to take the scientific examination, and his sister could not easily show up outside to manage a shop, so he chose the honest one first.
They are young and easy to teach, and they are not so courageous, so they are not afraid of their thoughts.
But maybe it's because the country people are not particular about it, and the Fang family's life is not easy, so these boys are a bit disgraceful, that is, their faces are relatively clean, and they look like they have just been washed.
Not to mention the clothes he was wearing were dirty and patched, and his neck was covered with a layer of black mud.
Liu Laoer can't stand it. In the food business, the most important thing is cleanliness, but there can't be such bad habits.
"Okay, you four go take a good bath first and wipe the mud off your bodies. Otherwise, I won't let you follow me."
Liu Laoer said in his heart that this was too embarrassing.
He couldn't stand it, let alone his brother-in-law.
Liu Laoer waited in the village for almost an hour. The four of them were finally clean and changed into clean clothes. Although they were still patched, at least they no longer looked like beggars.
This still looks like it!
Liu Laoer took people directly to the county seat. He was first taken to the Xiangxiang Braised Vegetable Restaurant and trained to work for a few days. He also explained some things that should be paid attention to. After seeing that the work was done well, he felt relieved.
While Liu Laoer was still training several juniors here, it was already February, and the examination in the capital was about to begin.
Although Xie Xiuwen thought he was fully prepared, when the day came, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Xie Rongzhao saw him almost every day and stayed in his arms for a while, which made Xie Xiuwen feel a lot more at ease.
Thinking about my wife and daughter, I have to work hard.
The whole family sent Xie Xiuwen to the Gongyuan, but Liu Ruolan was reluctant to go back.
"Auntie, let's go back and wait."
When Liu Ruolan turned around, she saw Xu Ruyi who was also looking at the door of Gongyuan. The two looked at each other, smiled knowingly, and then walked together to talk for a while.
Xie Rongzhao was held by Xie Ronlang. There were many people coming to Gongyuan. Even though the students had gone in now, there were still many people taking exams. Xie Ronglang was afraid that she would get lost, so he kept holding her hand tightly.
"Sister, don't move. Let's just wait here while the adults speak."
Xie Ronlang saw the young lady from the Wang family, and secretly he still wanted his sister to stay away from that troublemaker.
Xie Zhou didn't like Miss Wang either. Hearing this, he stood on her other side and coaxed, "Why don't you get on the carriage first?"
