Uncle Yao hesitated and expressed his guess: "Maybe my mother wants to compensate me."
"compensate you?"
Uncle Yao nodded and talked about Gu Qingling's "owe" to him over the years.
Although his relationship with Second Master Yao could not be said to be a close match, it was indeed not very harmonious. His mother gave all the credit to him, perhaps because she wanted to ease the relationship between him and Second Master Yao.
"It's possible..." Looking back on what happened in Ronghetang, Mrs. Yao indeed discovered that when Mr. Yao learned that the money was "borrowed" for him by Mr. Yao, she immediately became close to Mr. Yao.
a lot of.
Even Mrs. Yao Er said some soft words to her.
However, the old lady has always disliked Uncle Yao in the past, so why does she suddenly want to "compensate" Uncle Yao?
What conspiracy is the old lady playing?
"You just said that my mother gave you a few recipes to auction, and you made a total of 17,500 taels of silver, so you can pay off the debt owed by the second master? Then..." Mrs. Yao said, "Then plus
The 3,000 taels that Mr. Yao borrowed before, there should be 10,500 taels left. Even excluding management and some daily expenses, there should be several thousand taels left. What about the remaining silver?"
Mrs. Yao did not ask why the old lady had so many "ancestral recipes" in her hands.
It was the mother-in-law's thing, not something she, as a daughter-in-law, could care about. But in order to repay the money, Mr. Yao borrowed 3,000 taels of silver from everyone. This money belonged to the mother-in-law, the father-in-law, and everyone else.
Now that mother-in-law has money, shouldn’t she return it to everyone first?
"...At Mom's place." Uncle Yao hesitated for a moment.
In fact, he was a little puzzled. Gu Qingling obviously had so much money in her hands, but she pretended to have no money, insisted on reducing the family's expenses, and sold so many servants. What did this mean?
Could it be that his mother wants to "get money"?
Just when the couple was still guessing what Gu Qingling wanted to do with the money, Gu Qingling sent a maid over to invite him over.
Uncle Yao could only temporarily suspend his speculations, let Mrs. Yao rest first, and hurried to his mother's yard.
When Gu Qingling called Uncle Yao over at this time, it was actually about the remaining money.
Now that she is ready to return to the Yao family and take the position of the old lady, she naturally does not want the Yao family to continue to "rest on their laurels", but wants to use the previous rouge shop to open a business and get more money for the Yao family.
Road.
She is working with Wen Haoze and the others, as is the rouge shop under her name. She also hopes to use her sons and daughters-in-law to make money for her as soon as possible.
Now he has met his sons and daughters-in-law, and Gu Qingling has some understanding of them.
This time, Lu Qingling handed over the matter of Uncle Yao to Uncle Yao. It was actually a "test". One wanted to know Uncle Yao's ability, and the other wanted to know whether Uncle Yao was what the original owner thought he was.
"Brotherhood is weak", he is a selfish, ungrateful white-eyed wolf.
Fortunately, Gu Qingling was quite satisfied with the results of the test.
Uncle Yao just looked a little cold, but in fact he was quite filial to the original owner, and he also cared about his brother Yao Erye very much. In addition to the auction house affairs, he did quite well, Gu Qingling decided - well, this
People can use it first.
"Mom, are you looking for me?"
"Well! Sit down first." Gu Qingling asked the maid to serve Uncle Yao a cup of tea, and then let everyone in the room go out.
She praised Uncle Yao again, saying that he had done things beautifully this time. She was very satisfied and felt that he was a person who could do great things. Therefore, as a mother-in-law, she wanted to give him a very important thing.
task.
Uncle Yao perked up: "What mission?"
Gu Qingling pushed a box in front of him: "This is 5,000 taels of silver. I want to open a few shops for business. Can I leave this matter to you?"
Just now he was discussing with Yao Dadi what his mother wanted to do with so much money, but turned around and his mother handed the money to him. Uncle Yao's face was full of surprise.
Damn it, when did you trust him so much?!
Gu Qingling pretended not to see it and said with a smile: "Mom is old and has limited energy. Managing a rouge shop is already a headache for me. If I manage other shops, I am afraid that I will not be able to handle it, so I leave it to me."
I have left this matter to you. It just so happens that you also have good friends in Yunyang City, so I think this matter will not be difficult for you..."
Gu Qingling said that she had no requirements. She would not have any involvement in the size of the store or the business, as long as the store opened by Uncle Yao could make money.
At the same time, he also reminded Uncle Yao that since he has made so many friends in Yunyang City, he should not waste them and use them all.
When Uncle Yao left his mother's yard with the box containing the banknotes, he was still a little dizzy and couldn't believe it - his mother actually gave him so much money?!
Or let him do business?
Seriously, when did his mother trust him so much?
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Uncle Yao was pulled into the room by Mrs. Yao and asked him what the old lady wanted from him.
Uncle Yao asked the servants in the room to retreat, opened the box mysteriously, and spoke in her ear like this.
Similarly, Mrs. Yao was also shocked: "Mom actually gave you money?! The sun is rising in the west, why did she suddenly..."
Realizing that she had said the wrong thing, Mrs. Yao quickly stopped talking.
Uncle Yao shook his head.
He didn't know what his mother wanted to do, but since his mother gave him the money, he naturally had to do it beautifully.
only……
"I have never done anything like this before and have no experience. I am a little worried. If I don't do it well, will I disappoint my mother?"
Mrs. Yao was also afraid. It was rare that her mother-in-law gave her a chance to be her husband-in-law. If her husband-in-law didn't do well, it would be really troublesome.
My mother-in-law doesn't like the big house in the first place. If she disappoints her again, I'm afraid it will be more difficult in the future, right?
Mrs. Yao quickly brought out all her usual business experience and contacts, but unfortunately, she didn't seem to be very good at it, so the stores in her hands have been losing money, and now there are only two or three left.
…
Speaking of the latter, Mrs. Yao lost confidence: "Otherwise, why don't you look for those friends of yours? Didn't they buy our prescriptions? Since they bought the prescriptions, they must want to open the business.
.We cooperate with them, even if we don’t open a store in Yunyang City, we can still go to other places..."
After much thought, Mrs. Yao felt that this was more reliable.
She herself is not good at running a business, and Uncle Yao has never done it before, so she might as well find someone who has "done it and has experience".
It happened that those people whom Uncle Yao knew had taken the recipe for the "Twelve Flower Immortals", so they must be certain. It would be better to just borrow someone else's help, even if it was just to make a little money, it would still be better than knowing nothing at all.
Losing money is good.
"Okay, then I'll go find them tomorrow." Uncle Yao thought about it for a while and then made a decision.
The only thing that made him a little embarrassed was probably that Wen Haoze had just promised to give him a 10% profit, but it turned out that he wanted to make some money from him, which seemed to be a bit too much.
But there is no way, who said that neither he nor Mrs. Yao are good at doing business?
