Zhou Lijun said: "Grandpa, I am going to Yizhou City with my fourth uncle in two days. How about we take it for my sister-in-law."
"Your sister-in-law has money on her. She takes so much money when she goes out. What if she loses it?" Lao Zhoutou refused, saying: "Anyway, she will be back during the Chinese New Year. I will give it to her then."
Zhou Lijun always felt that his grandfather wanted to covet his sister-in-law's money, and he was very worried.
The Zhou brothers didn't care, because they knew that what their father said didn't count and they still had to see what their mother wanted.
Even if Yaomei's money is collected, it will be kept by my mother, and my father will probably be able to take a look.
So Qian didn't say anything, and the Zhou brothers didn't express their opinions.
Zhou Lang calculated the money in his hand, took out the small account book he kept close to him, and finally squeezed to Zhou Lang with bright eyes, "Fourth brother, how much does the shop you asked me for last time cost?"
Is the money coming?”
Zhou Lang looked at him in horror, "Lao Liu, you don't really want to buy a shop in Yizhou City, do you?"
"What can't you do?" Zhou Lang said, "I did the math and found that the money I have saved now is one hundred and eighty-nine taels."
Zhou Lang couldn't help his eyes widening, "Why are there more than mine?"
Liu Lang said proudly: "Because I spend less."
He lowered his voice and said: "Look at the things you buy for Sisao and Liutou every time you come back, as well as the things you spend on yourself. It's strange that you can save money, so even if you save money, you still can't get married."
Thursday Lang:......
Sitting aside, Wu Lang happened to hear:...
Zhou Lang reached out and patted him on the shoulder and said: "You can buy a shop with one hundred and eighty-nine taels, but the location must not be good. If you want to buy a good one, you have to prepare about a thousand taels, right?"
Zhou Lang's eyes almost popped out of his head, "So many? Are you trying to steal money?"
"A good shop is like this, you might as well rent it."
Liu Lang was confused, "I'm renting it. It's not my own shop. I don't feel safe using it. What if I get kicked out halfway through?"
Wu Wulang said: "Go and ask Man Bao and see what she says."
Zhou Lang was not convinced and said: "Isn't it better to ask me about this kind of thing than to ask Man Bao? How does she know these things?"
But Zhou Lang actually went to Yizhou City to ask Man Bao.
Instead of working in his sister-in-law's restaurant, he planned to pack up his things and go to Yizhou City to try to work alone.
Regarding this, everyone from Lao Zhoutou and Qian to Xiao Qian agreed. They thought that if he went to Yizhou City, it would be much easier for Manbao to eat home-cooked food.
Now, although Liulang's cooking skills are not as good as Qian's, he is still the second person in the family who cooks delicious food.
Liu Lang took his share of the money and drove the carriage to Yizhou City with his fourth brother Erya. Man Bao said without thinking: "Sixth Brother, just find a shop in Kangxue Street near the academy and rent it.
Students all like to eat out.”
Zhou Lang poured cold water on them, "Such a shop is expensive and difficult to rent."
Man Bao thought for a while and said: "Brother Six, how about you stop thinking about renting a shop for business and find a restaurant to be a cook first? Let's see how they do it."
Zhou Lang thought this was a good idea, and Zhou Lijun also said: "Yes, Uncle Liu, the shop opened by aunt in the county can make money. First, there are few good restaurants in the county, and second, rice, noodles, vegetables, etc. can all be bought from home."
Or buy it in the village. This is not possible in Yizhou City."
Man Bao nodded, "Brother Six, you don't have much money, so you should be more cautious, so go to other restaurants first to see how they cook. Anyway, your cooking skills are pretty good now, so find a restaurant and cook first."
chant."
Liu Lang thought about it carefully and decided to listen to Man Bao's suggestion. Then he gave the money he brought to Man Bao and said: "This is the money given to me by my family. Man Bao, please keep it for me. I will buy it later."
For shop use.”
Man Bao was pleasantly surprised, "The family has divided the money? Do I have a share in it?"
"Yes, dad kept it for you."
Man Bao was shocked, "Dad kept it?"
Zhou Lang said: "It is said that dad kept it, but in fact it was mom who kept it."
Manbao breathed a sigh of relief.
Daji came in from outside the door and said: "Miss Man, the school is about to end. Are you still going to the school to read today?"
"Go, wait for me." Man Bao immediately ran back to the room with Liu Lang's money, threw the money into the system, picked up the backpack and left.
Daji first went to Dazhi Academy to pick up Bai Erlang, and then sent the two of them outside the wall of the academy.
Man Bao and Bai Erlang were familiar with the wall and climbed in. Then they jumped off the wall and heard Wei Ting talking to someone behind the tree.
The two of them didn't shy away and walked over directly.
Anyway, now everyone in the school knows about them except for my husband and a few students, so there is no need to hide around.
When Wei Ting saw them, he greeted them familiarly, "Are you reading again?"
Man Bao nodded and saw that they had spread a mat on the ground, with fruit snacks and tea on it, and they were sitting cross-legged on the mat. She was curious, "What are you doing sitting here on this cold day?"
"We were chatting. It was too boring in the classroom. If we spoke loudly, we would be warned by the teacher, so we came here. Well, Bai Shan is here too."
Wei Ting waved vigorously to Bai Shan, "I just said you would come, right?"
It turned out that they had invited Bai Shan when they first started studying at Wei Ting, but Bai Shan refused.
When Wei Ting saw that he did not go home immediately but went to the library, he knew that Zhou Man and the others were coming today, so he specially called everyone to Xinglin. Sure enough, not only Zhou Man and Bai Erlang came, but Bai Shan also came.
Bai Shan glanced at him, took the lead and sat down on a cushion next to the mat, then patted the cushion next to him for Man Bao to sit down.
Man Bao put down his backpack and sat down, and asked curiously: "Is there anything good? I see you are all very happy."
"Of course I'm happy," one of them said with a smile after pouring tea: "You don't know yet, Chang Changshi was demoted early this morning, and he will be recruited back to the capital soon. Ji Hao was seriously injured before,
He has always stood up for the princess, and now that he is unlucky, of course we are happy."
Everyone present was having fun with Ji Hao, so they naturally gloated along with them. And they felt that Bai Shan and Man Bao were on the same side as them, so of course they had to tell them such good news.
Bai Shan and the other three were relatively ignorant. They were stunned for a moment before asking: "Why?"
Wei Ting was the most well-informed and said with a smile: "Actually, I received the news last night. My father said that the Tang County magistrate impeached Chang Changshi for inciting his family to instigate tenant farmers to rob farmers who were transporting grain seeds, viciously squeezing out competitors."
Wei Ting said happily: "Who is the magistrate of Tang? His father is the censor of Zuodu. His papers were just published, and the papers for impeachment of Chang Changshi were piled on the desk, and then he was demoted."
"It's such a pity that this matter was blamed on his clan brother. If it were blamed on him, it would be more than just a demotion."
"It would be good if he could be demoted. Once he leaves, the Chang family will definitely follow him. Their ancestral home is not in Yizhou Prefecture." Wei Ting hummed, "With the Chang family gone, how clean will Yizhou City be?
