"Today, the Miss Xue family came to look for you sisters. When she saw that you were not there, she went to sit in your eldest sister's room." Li Xuemei pushed the child's small bag into the kang. Little Ya'er was unconscious and slept soundly.
.
"After she left, your eldest sister came over and said that the Crown Princess intends to take the lead in calling on the wealthy households in the city to donate some money, food, ginger and charcoal."
Yan Yu blinked, tilted his head and asked, "Jiang?"
"It's just ginger. Our family cooks ginger soup every day. The teahouse next door is the property of the prince's palace. You don't know if the smell wafts over. Otherwise, how could it find its way to us?"
Yan Yu felt that Jiang and Tan were both involved.
She stopped selling goods, not to hoard and make a lot of money, but because she was worried that there were not enough people in her village.
It's not like they haven't tried it in the past few days. After the temperature dropped significantly, the difficulty of burning charcoal increased exponentially, and the original mounds of soil were not enough to cope with such extreme weather.
In fact, it can't be called a mound. The charcoal has been burning for so long. They have already upgraded it and put cement on it.
But now, it was so cold that it cracked several holes.
Master Lu was either busy helping various families find ways to repair their houses, or he was squatting at the end of the charcoal field, thinking about how to improve the charcoal kiln. He was running back and forth, and he lost weight visibly to the naked eye, and the sheepskin jacket on his body was a little swaying.
Li Xuemei: "The last Plum Appreciation Banquet caused so much trouble, and the Imperial Concubine was too embarrassed to make a big fuss about it, so according to Miss Xue's wishes, I don't plan to be too aggressive about raising funds this time. I'll do it after everything is done."
Promote the good intentions and good deeds of each family to the outside world."
Yan Yu immediately understood: "Just do things in a low profile first, and then become famous after you succeed."
It's right to worry about an accident...
Once money and finance are involved, especially when dealing with such a household, it can be a headache.
Your family has a lot, and my family can’t afford less...
Your family has so little, why should my family pay more?
Money is relatively intuitive, but donating goods is troublesome. For example, is there anything mixed with the rice and noodles? Is the shelling clean? Is it new rice or old rice...
Are used clothes single or with cotton? How thick is the cotton?
Even charcoal, big and small, can be considered in pieces for a long time...
The Crown Princess has good intentions, but unfortunately she is not very lucky. She has come to Guanzhou to marry at this time and see what happens to her one by one.
No matter, she is the only mistress in the palace, and Guan? Plum Appreciation Banquet is a precedent.
Accidents are everywhere, and if he wants to do things carefully and without making mistakes, Yan Yu feels that the Crown Princess is still a little immature, so it is best to have a tough hand and have experienced people to help her. Plus the Crown Princess's reputation, this
Things will go on smoothly.
Two people naturally flashed into Yan Yu's mind.
The first one is naturally her uncle, who is invincible and omnipotent in Yan Yu's heart.
The second one is her godfather, who is full of wisdom.
For example, when her family had nothing to do, she gave her godfather some home-cooked food. The godfather actually used such a small amount of things to get them registered with the King of England. The impression was quite good. She is now treated well by the prince's palace.
It's becoming more and more different, and the disciples are really much more polite to her.
There was also the idea given by her godfather to her father, asking him to take a merit exam first and then be promoted in the army.
From literature to martial arts, whether you are a scholar or a young student, it is unusual to have a great reputation.
Let’s talk about that day at the Plum Appreciation Banquet. Her god-father’s reaction was so fast. It was obvious that the Beirong was dead at her feet. Ahem, she forced him to pretend that he fainted. In the end, the whole city went crazy about the news about the Prince of England’s Palace.
Gossip, whether it was the Crown Princess, her concubine, or the Zhao family, the mother family of the King of England... there was no one that was not talked about. On the contrary, she, the kid who stole the show at the shooting range that day, was mentioned a few times.
No one is talking anymore!
Beirong's death was also said to be due to excessive torture.
Up and down, inside and out, it is so hidden!
At that time, she felt that her godfather had made a lot of money!
After that, Yan Yu always observed her god-father and found that her god-father was a very humble person and was firmly positioned as the number one servant in the Royal Palace of England.
Be favored by leaders
The King of England always asked questions when he saw no one, and the people were in awe. It literally means both respect and fear.
After the incident of sneaking into Beirong, her godfather was responsible for the self-examination of the Prince of England. All the people in the Prince's Palace were replaced, and many places were replaced by unfamiliar faces. However, there was still no movement outside.
.
Comparing the conduct of the Crown Princess with her godfather, they are... much different!
"Our family's little wealth can be targeted by others. It seems that this white disaster is more serious than I thought." Li Xuemei frowned slightly.
She was confinement at home and could not go out. The two channels for obtaining information were Lady Cui and Lady Qi.
Cui Langzhong returned to the village to treat the injured villagers. The big dog and the little dog followed him, but Cui Lady stayed behind. In her words, what should I do when I go back? There is no place for me to stick a foot in the house.
, let them live here first. I will live in the city for a while and come to you every day. My second brother will leave him busy. I have a sister, so I will take care of you for him...
Li Xuemei was quite moved.
Mrs. Cui really did what she said. When Rong took care of the little one, she took care of Li Xuemei. She carried the spittoon back and forth and never disliked it.
The Qi family bought a house nearby. The house was a bit small, but there were many neighbors around it.
After the three brothers of the Qi family showed off their faces once, no one dared to look down upon the newly moved Qi family. Mrs. Qi was particularly good at being a good person and managed the relationship with her neighbors very well. Winter was in Cat Winter, and the women did not only do necessary shopping.
, most of the time he doesn’t go out, and at most he visits nearby neighbors.
The Qi family had just moved here, so people were a little curious, and Mrs. Qi did not hesitate to give them some pointers on the embroidery work, and slowly they gathered in a pile.
After Lady Cui came to stay at Qi's house, the interactions became even more intense.
Later, Mrs. Cui went to look at the shop at the front again, and she got to know more people.
Li Xuemei admired her, how could she be so eloquent and know each other well once they met, but when they met the next time, she was like a biological sister whom she hadn't seen for many years, and she could talk endlessly.
Mrs. Cui, who suffered from nothing every day, was also helped by Li Xuemei.
Yan Yu was initially surprised.
Her mother's speech is becoming more and more down-to-earth.
"I'm afraid Mom has some misunderstanding about our family's financial background." She said silently, "How do you think our charcoal business is doing?"
"I heard your aunt talk about several charcoal sellers in the city. They have been doing it for many years. It has been passed down from father to son for several generations. There are also people who have gradually become famous for making charcoal. It is said that there are two or three companies that have bought several hills and hired people all year round.
People burn charcoal. I'm afraid you can't compare with others in this charcoal business, but with firewood, aren't you monopolizing Yongning City? They are definitely not as good as you."
"What mom said is right or wrong." Yan Yu said seriously: "Years ago, they sold better than me and shipped more goods than me, so they naturally earned more. But after the new year... the big families have already stocked up.
For charcoal, ordinary people are not willing to spend money, and they also know that the price of charcoal will drop a few points after the new year. If I open the market and ship the goods in scattered quantities, they will definitely not be able to sell it to me."
"It's not because of the price, but... they don't have much money left in their hands." If you like The Book Life of the Xianyu Family, please bookmark it: (www.sodu777.net) The Book Life of the Xianyu Family Search Novel Network
