Chapter 198 The Flowery Sedan Carried by Everyone
Qin Yuan said: "My companion is really capable. I am not bragging, even my sixth brother said so. He printed poetry collections, and my sixth brother said that they are better than those bought outside."
Madam Gu said hurriedly, "Does it cost money to print the poetry collection? If it's hard to pay from the public account, mother can give him a subsidy. We don't lack money in our house, and I don't know how much money Hui'er has in his private treasury, so you don't have to save it for him."
Qin Yuan couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Mother, I understand. If the Marquis knew about this, I wonder what he would think?"
"What is he thinking? Didn't his father give all the private treasury to him in the end? His money should be spent on his wife and children. What's the point of guarding mountains of gold and silver? They are dead things. No matter how much silver you have, if you don't spend it, it has nothing to do with you. You just keep it for show. You can't bring it with you when you are born and you can't take it with you when you die. Who knows who will own it in the future."
This open-mindedness is really touching.
Qin Yuan sighed in her heart, thinking how lucky she was in this life, she got to marry into a marquis's mansion and have such a good mother-in-law.
She asked, "Mother, how do you like the incense?"
Madam Gu smiled happily and said, "After using the incense you prepared, I slept much better. If there were such a big thing in the mansion in the past, I would inevitably think too much and sleep poorly. But with this incense, and perhaps because I have a good daughter-in-law like you in front of me, I sleep very well. These days, I stay in this yard and take good care of the two children, but I feel bored. However, since you are here, I guess you will soon start a new mansion."
Qin Yuan said admiringly: "Mother is indeed very smart and wiser than Zhuge Liang. If there are more patients in a few days, there will be trouble outside the mansion."
The Marquis looked at Lu Houtian with admiration and said, "Manager Leng is both capable and good at judging people. Mother is so lucky. Everyone around her is very capable. In the end, it is still mother who knows how to train people. If you don't have a bit of her ability, you will have to worry about your life. In the future, you can be a cheerful old feudal lord."
The Marquis could tell that Manager Leng was thinking carefully about you.
The Marquis nodded to you and said, "Baozhu has been making a lot of noise outside the courtyard those days. It's really beyond your expectation. You were worried that you would make a fuss because of your age."
Shopkeeper Leng asked, "What is Madam Zhi's plan?"
Madam Gu said, "Your son, you are being punished by confinement. Actually, you are a little spoiled. You have a bolt under your mouth, but you are still very conscious. Sister Zhen has seen it, and something like that happened outside the mansion. You are afraid that it will cause a big fuss and make your brothers happy, so you have to behave yourself."
Now that we have finished joking, it’s time to get down to business.
"how?"
Madam Gu stroked the top of Rong Mama's head and said to the Marquis, "Rong Mama has been studying very hard recently."
Lu Houtian smiled and glanced at the Marquis, and said, "Madam, if you want to spend money slowly, you can't name a price. Although Ranxiangju is Qin Yuan's shop, it is run by Cheng Ge'er. If I think it is worthwhile, I can make the decision. Madam, you must be hesitant about the price. It must be because it is Qin Yuan's shop that you give too little discount."
The Marquis laughed and said, "Bad boy, it's a bad thing to read less and understand less. I need to discuss with the Marquis's mansion to invite you as a teacher. I have been very busy recently. I will tell you whether it is a bad thing or not after the mansion is opened."
Lu Houtian immediately nodded and said, "My son will listen to my stepmother and stepfather."
It was obvious that the Marquis and Gu Jinghui had to make their own decisions.
Shopkeeper Leng said with a smile, "I shamelessly asked Madam for the incense pills and gave some to these old sisters. You all said they were useless and wanted more. It was mean of you to trouble Madam. I also said that if Madam was willing to sell the incense pills, they would be less useless."
Lu Hou smiled, nodded, and said, "Mother said that it was wrong to use that incense, so Yuan'er wanted to discuss with Lu Houtian and add the incense recipe to the shares of Ranxiangju, and Ranxiangju used to sell it."
But as for hiring a teacher, you said.
This sentence made both of them happy.
Old Madam Gu, who was sitting nearby, also had a look of surprise on her face.
Yu Jie'er also said in a thin voice: "Stepmother, you have to hire a male teacher. You can't go to Aunt Baozhu to learn from your male teacher."
The Marquis asked curiously.
Lu Hou smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Leng has thought it through. Now you know what to choose. But you don't know how many incense recipes you can make, and you don't have any ancestral recipes in your hands. You don't have a shop of your own. If your shop also sells incense pills, will there be any conflict with Ranxiangju?"
Lu Houtian looked surprised and asked, "Madam, do you know how to make a few incense recipes?"
Hongye winked at Cuiming, who just took it as a glance.
The Marquis said, "You are old and have experienced a lot, so come and ask your mother and Manager Leng for help in making a decision."
Upon hearing this, Rong Mama came over immediately and said, "Grandmother, stepmother, can I hire a teacher for you after the mansion opens?"
Madam Gu said, "That old fellow is very useless in those matters. Yuan'er, he will listen to you."
Very well-behaved.
Madam Gu also laughed: "Yuan'er's joke was an accident. Lu Houtian is not where he is today because of that old man. Shopkeeper Leng saw talent and married him to me. He also helped me to gain a foothold in the capital and learn to make incense. Cheng'er swore in front of the Bodhisattva that he would treat Lu Houtian as his own mother."
Shopkeeper Leng smiled and said, "Madam is really good at praising people. If she were to say anything else, she would only praise Madam's ability to make incense. Whoever marries her would be considered unlucky. Only our old lady and the Marquis' Mansion are not that lucky."
Lu Houtian smiled and said, "Old Madam, look at what Madam said. It sounds like you have control over Ranxiangju."
Shopkeeper Leng added, "Madam's incense recipe is good, but it is hard to predict how much it can sell. When Cheng Ge'er offered a price, he dared not to offer it too low. I was also worried that when the accounts were settled, I would explain that it was clear and cause criticism from others. If Madam included the incense recipe in the share, that would be a bad deal. If you sell less, you will get less. The incense pills sold little recently, and Madam's stable return was also small. If you buy some shops and farms, you will eventually roll out a small property."
Old Madam Gu laughed.
Madam Gu nodded.
After hearing that, Madam Gu smiled and said to Shopkeeper Leng, "Look, they are thinking the same thing."
"Everyone is carrying the sedan chair, he flatters you, you flatter him, but in the end, old women are the most unlucky, there are no bad people around, and there are no bad daughters-in-law."
If you convert the incense recipe into commission, Cheng Ge'er will have less room for maneuver. Moreover, if the incense pills are sold in small quantities and for a long time, the less you can get. It is indeed a bad idea.
"So that's how it is. No wonder Cheng Ge'er sent back the letter and mentioned that matter. It turns out that he listened to my mother-in-law."
If you ask for some money, someone will inevitably complain when you settle the accounts someday, saying that you used Qin Yuan's money as your dowry.
