Qiao'er came back, which did not cause much shock in the Su family.Because when she left, Mama Yun only said that Bixi and Zhulu were wrong, and did not mention Qiao'er's fault.As for what others think in their hearts, there is no way to regulate this, because there is no mind reading in the world.Qiao'er's eyes are always cautious, she looks timid when she holds tea, and her hands are a little shaky.In this regard, the nurse quietly appeased her in private several times, and even Mrs.
Su couldn't stand it anymore.Mrs.
Su asked: "Yushun'an is on the mountain, is it restless at night, there is a ghost cry, is this maid frightened" The nurse laughed.Qiao'er squeezed out a smile hard, but her smile was more ugly than crying, embarrassed, and she felt that her mouth was white, and she didn't know how to answer.It is said that children are unscrupulous, but once the old man becomes superstitious, he is similar to a child.Mrs.
Su said seriously: "Go and ask for a peace charm, and wear a string of radiant beads, I heard that it will be fine" Zheng Qingchuan stopped eating pomelo, and helped Qiao'er to relieve the siege: "Qiao'er, what the old lady said, do you remember" The tone went with the flow, respecting both the old lady and Qiao'er.Actually, she didn't believe in the peace charms and the consecration, but her tone didn't sound like that of an angry young man.Qiao'er hurriedly nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and agreed: "Don't worry, old lady, don't worry, I remember" "Well" Old lady Su was also more satisfied, so she didn't mention it.Ah Qing suddenly said: "Qiqi is still eating, I have gained so much weight" This word is like a bomb Zheng Qingchuan's movements paused for two or three seconds, his eyelashes slowly fanned a few times, his eyes turned worried, and he asked hesitantly: "Am I fat" Ah Qing nodded, Ah Yun nodded, and Old Madam Su also nodded, like a bloodsucking worm, it got into Zheng Qingchuan's veins Old Madam Su misunderstood, and said with a smile: "Ah Qi is fat and good-looking, don't be too thin" Zheng Qingchuan couldn't cry or laugh, she wasn't worried about beauty, that sentence made Zheng Qingchuan worry for several days, It wasn't until this month's menstrual events came as scheduled that she let go of her hanging heart.Fortunately, the consequence of her not becoming a mother is that she has lit the horn lamp very frequently this month Su Mu has recently been inspecting the old cases handled by her predecessor Xiao Governor's Mansion before, and she will not tolerate unjust, false and wrongful cases, just like turning earthworms in the mud, or picking rotten beans in a basket of soybeans.A person's energy is limited, so he has no embarrassment for Zheng Qingchuan.However, if Zheng Qingchuan doesn't light up the lights one night, the wolf's nature will come back Su Mu occasionally gets up late, after all, everyone will get up tired in the morning, seeing Ah Qing, A Yun and Zheng Qingchuan running in circles in the courtyard, Su Mu suddenly realized that since he came to Jingzhou, his habit of practicing martial arts has been abandoned for a long time."
Su Mu, can you run away" Zheng Qingchuan invited with a smile, and spit out a cloud of white gas from his mouth Ah Qing and Ah Yun also shouted: "Brother run together" Su Mu shook his hand at them, smiled, and then turned around and went to the outer courtyard to find Master Du to practice martial arts.Ah Yun asked: "Qiqi, I run every day like this, can I be fit and healthy, and I won't get sick" Zheng Qingchuan smiled: "I can't guarantee that I won't get sick, but I can guarantee that when I have the strength to fight, when I escape, I can escape fast and run away" Ah Yun was not satisfied, and muttered: "I don't do bad things, I don't have to run away, no one fights with me" Zheng Qingchuan said: "That's because Ah Yun is diligent and willing to run with me" Ah Yun finally smiled with satisfaction, and her eyes seemed to have the taste of sugar.The Su family has another unique scenery every morning, that is, Mrs.
Su takes the maids to dry the vegetables, if you are not afraid of the smell of fertilizer, the family may open the vegetable field At the same time, the carriage from the grange stopped at the door of the Su family, and a basket of fresh fruits and vegetables with dew was moved into the gate by the mother-in-law.Chickens, ducks and geese have their wings tied and their cries are high-pitched.The plan of the day lies in the morning, and the Su family's day begins in this way.In the morning, Qiao'er and the nurse got into the carriage and went to Tai'an Temple to ask for a peace charm, the nurse also had a purpose, that is, to ask Zheng Qingchuan for a sign Zheng Qingchuan was not in a hurry to give birth to a child, but the nurse was very anxious, the typical emperor was not in a hurry to die, the eunuch and the nurse had just left, and the second girl Yin came to the Su family on the back foot, and brought her little nephew.Mrs.
Su smiled and teased the child, this child was naïve, not naughty.Second girl Yin asked Zheng Qingchuan to get down to business.Yin Er girl said: "Mrs.
Su, I want to do business in Jingzhou, choose the road from Jingzhou to the capital, I heard that the court has recently renovated the post station, and the official road has become stable, as long as you don't meet robbers, this is a sure deal, I forget it, the capital is only one hundred taels of silver, and I want to invite Mrs.
Su to join the shares."
I don't know if it's okay" Zheng Qingchuan smiled, pushed the fruit plate brought by the maid to the second girl Yin, she also calculated in her heart, and then asked with a smile: "As long as the capital is so small, I'm afraid it's not enough" The second girl Yin smiled silently.It is really not enough, but as long as Zheng Qingchuan symbolically agrees, she doesn't even need to give out a penny of silver, as long as she gives the Yin family's business some protection, she is willing to give half of the money she earns to Zheng Qingchuan.There is a smile that everyone knows, and there is no need to say it too clearly Zheng Qingchuan didn't want to be ambiguous about this kind of thing, and said clearly: "I thought you knew it a long time ago, and I don't join the gang when it comes to doing business." ”The second girl Yin was not impatient or impatient, and smiled calmly: "However, I have heard a sentence that it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.There are many relatives of the Su family, and Mrs.
Su is a generous woman, so I dare to say this.Please Mrs.
Su rest assured, I will be tight-lipped When I took the account book, I came to join Mrs.
Su, and handed over the certificate of nomination, as long as Mrs.
Su does not dislike the Yin family, nor dislike the silver. ”Zheng Qingchuan said with a smile: "Miss Yin is a straightforward person, and she is also my friend in Jingzhou, so you don't have to test me, I am a good talker" The implication is that there is no need to doubt that my mouth is not honest, don't think that I am inconsistent, I say that I don't want silver, but I am secretly happy in my heart, waiting for the silver to grow legs, queue up into the treasury of the Su family, be careful and be smart, but be smart and mistaken, this is a bit of a warning, let the other party stop.Miss Yin Er was embarrassed for a moment, put away her ambiguous smile, and turned into a normal expression, she was indeed a smart person, knowing that when she saw the wind and change her rudder, she changed to a relaxed and happy topic in a blink of an eye, and stopped mentioning business.However, Second Miss Yin's words reminded Zheng Qingchuan.When Miss Yin left, Zheng Qingchuan entered the small study, spread out the paper, picked up the pen, and began to calculate the Su family's silver and industry.Dafang people are popular, but the generous attitude also needs the support of the family, if the money is urgent, the poor and generous will become hypocritical and poor, and the swelling face is fat, it is very painful Zheng Qingchuan is afraid of pain, so take precautions.Mainly because she found the signs, because since Su Mu became an official, and he is still a clean official, the road to making money has become narrower and narrower, and the five shops left by Su Mu's parents have long been placed by Su Mu under the names of A Qing and A Yun, and they will be the dowries of A Qing and A Yun in the future.Su Mu is a generous brother, and he didn't hide it from Zheng Qingchuan, Zheng Qingchuan even agreed to this matter directly in person.However, before Ah Qing and Ah Yun got married, the income from these shops still went into the Su family's treasury, which could be used by Zheng Qingchuan and Su Mu, and this item received about 6,000 taels per year.In order to avoid people's eyes and ears and not cause trouble to Su Mu, the clothing shop she opened in the capital was temporarily recorded in the name of the nurse.Although the nurse is still by Zheng Qingchuan's side, Zheng Qingchuan has already helped her eliminate her slavery in the yamen.This item receives 2,000 taels a year.The grange is a grange in the capital under the names of Su Mu and Zheng Qingchuan, and the grange in the capital can receive 5,000 taels in the harvest year, and more than 1,000 taels in the year with less harvest, after all, the base is large.She also bought a new grange in Jingzhou, the amount is not large, about 900 taels a year.Su Mu's income is not too much, not too much, just enough for the normal expenses of the family, to support the Su family's maids, mothers-in-law, servants and housekeepers.It is conservatively estimated that 11,400 taels of silver is received a year, in addition, there are silver tickets and cash silver at home, a large amount of 60,000 taels Then, there are also debts that are lent out Su Mu clearly told Zheng Qingchuan that the Hong family borrowed 50,000 taels of silver from the Su family, and it was borrowed from Su Mu's hands, which was after the death of Su Mu's parents, as for what to borrow, Su Mu did not tell Zheng Qingchuan, it must be a very secret thing.After all, Zheng Qingchuan once heard Hong Yuejing mention that Old Lady Hong had a very dangerous time in his official position, and the entire Hong family was in danger during that time.The official is like a scale, the silver is a scale, inseparable from each other, there are scales to press, and then it is a headache to seek a balance point and settle the account, and after Zheng Qingchuan calculated the dowry of Ah Qing and Ah Yun in the future, he found that it would cost at least 200,000 taels of silver.In ancient times, the dowry was a large amount, and it was even very amazing, Zheng Qingchuan himself had experienced it himself, and then, the annual human exchanges: birthday gifts, full moon gifts, first birthday gifts, red and white ceremonial gifts, and helping relatives.This is also a large amount Even if you count some of the gifts recovered, you have to spend at least three thousand taels a year to complete the result is: now sleep on the silver mountain, food and clothing do not worry, but once it is time for Ah Qing and A Yun to get married, the silver will be empty, what to do if it is stretched, Zheng Qingchuan can only think hard, making money has to conflict with Su Mu as an official, this is really difficult to be an official likes pomp and circumstance, is used to luxury, but can not do business, and can not be corrupt and bribery, how can Yu Lu support the luxury of pomp No wonder there is a saying called often walking by the river, How can there be shoes that don't get wet, such as today's words of Miss Yin Er, it is a huge temptation.If Zheng Qingchuan had a thought, it is estimated that he would be in the same stream with many famous corrupt officials in history, and when Su Mu came back, Zheng Qingchuan told: "Su Mu, I found that in the future, we will be very poor" Su Mu was amused by these words, touched Zheng Qingchuan's cheek with the back of his hand, and asked: "What a poor law"
