Uncle Cheng'en's mansion is getting higher and higher. When Zhang Yunwei got married, the dowry was extremely generous. It was normal to have several shops in Kyoto.
Song Qinghuan knew that she wanted to help the village, so she became a little embarrassed.
It would be great if Zhang Yunwei's shop could be used. Even if someone is looking for trouble, the reputation of Uncle Cheng'en's house should be taken into consideration as well as the Wei family.
There are many children in Cheng'en's house who have become officials, and the family has a smooth temperament. They can eat well wherever they go, and they will give some face to them.
but...
Zhang Yunwei, however, had some opinions: "I think this matter has been settled. After all, those shops will remain there, and they have to be guarded."
He added: "It's getting late today. I'll go back first. I'll come back and talk to you in detail when I have some free time tomorrow."
He said with a smile: "But first of all, the dividends must be calculated as mine, and the rent of the shop must also be calculated as mine."
The matter was settled like this, without even giving Song Qinghuan a chance to refute.
Early the next morning, Zhang Yunwei came over. Afraid of staying too long, he simply brought Brother Xu with him.
Song Qinghuan thought about it all night and finally accepted Zhang Yunwei's love.
Seeing Brother Xu coming, he brought out all the delicious and fun things and asked the little maids to play with him.
Brother Xu is at the age where he loves to play, and he was a little afraid of strangers at first, but after a while, he only heard the laughter of Yin Ling.
Zhang Yunwei and Song Qinghuan were both sitting on the kang, looking at each other through the window, their eyebrows full of tenderness.
She handed the raft she had written overnight to Song Qinghuan: "I know you don't like to take advantage, and I won't let you suffer."
The locations of Zhang Yunwei's shops were not bad, and they were not all empty. But since she wanted to help Song Qinghuan, she had to help to the end. So when she went back yesterday, she cleared two shops with good locations overnight. .
He added: "I will charge the market price for the rent of the shop. I will invest another thousand taels of capital and receive a profit of 28 cents. I don't care about the business. You have to take care of everything."
When Song Qinghuan heard what she said, he read carefully what was written on the raft, and felt much comforted.
They say they don't want to take advantage of themselves, but they are all helping themselves one after another.
Not only was the store given to her, but the capital was also given to her.
Song Qinghuan was deeply moved. There was nothing more to say about the sisterly love that could reach this level.
She closed the raft, took Zhang Yunwei's hand and said, "Sister's love will always be in my heart."
Then he asked her: "What kind of business does your sister want to do?"
"Ah?" Zhang Yun looked at Song Qinghuan slightly: "Have you not thought about it well?"
Song Qinghuan laughed angrily at her: "You don't even know what I do for a living, yet you dare to give me full power like this."
...
It's now December, and there are only a few days until the Chinese New Year.
Zhang Yunwei bluntly said that there was still a lot of work to do, and assigned her maid Baixiang to follow her to visit the shop.
She really acted like she didn't care about anything but collecting money.
Song Qinghuan knew what she was thinking and didn't say anything nice. He only waited for lunch before going to the shop.
Both shops are in excellent locations, with good foot traffic and good facings.
Although it was moved empty, you can tell at a glance that it was recently vacated.
Song Qinghuan looked around and said, "It's a good location. What do you do for a living? How much money can you earn in a year?"
Baixianghui was literate and was the maid who took care of the accounts next to Zhang Yunwei. Qinghuan from the Ming and Song dynasties was trying to figure this out, but she pretended she didn't know and just said: "This slave doesn't know either."
Song Qinghuan took a deep look at Baixiang and knew that he couldn't get anything out of the question, so he simply stopped asking and kept Zhang Yunwei's feelings in his heart.
It turns out that this shop selling fabrics is located near Liuzhu Street. It has two floors. The shop is not big, but there are a lot of people coming and going.
The other shop used to sell elegant things like the Four Treasures of the Study. It was large and spacious. It was a bit far from Liuzhu Street, but it was better because of its quiet location.
After Song Qinghuan saw the shop, he had an idea in his mind, so he followed Zhang Yunwei's example and wrote down everything he thought.
After thinking about it, I sent these to Xiao Yunshi for a look.
Xiaoyun has been in charge of the family for many years, and he has seen much more people and worldly things than she has, so maybe he can give some advice.
Although Xiaoyun was born as a concubine, she married Song Wende to fill a house for her sister's two children. The matron of the house never treated her badly. Although the dowry was not as good as that of her elder sister, it was not bad, and it was the same as the land store.
There are quite a few.
However, when the Song family fell into decline, she sold all the dowry and used money to fill the big hole.
Now that I have read Song Qinghuan's writings from beginning to end, I understand what she stands for without asking, and I can't help but feel happy: "You have indeed grown up, and your thoughts are much more delicate."
Song Qinghuan didn't say anything. It turned out that she just wanted to sell the yard in the south of the city and make a small living to supplement her family's income.
But now that Zhang Yunwei's two shops are in good locations, she has wavered again and wants to go bigger.
But after all, I don’t have much experience, so I am afraid that I will let down Zhang Yunwei’s good intentions.
Xiaoyun knew that this was done by Song Qinghuan and Zhang Yunwei together, and based on his own experience as a housekeeper, he wrote some suggestions with her.
The mother and daughter discussed for a long time, but they stopped when they saw that it was getting dark.
Xiaoyun took out a few banknotes from her makeup box and gave them to Song Qinghuan, saying: "Although you and Sister Wei did it together, you can't let others suffer. I still have some money here, so you can
Take the turnover first."
"It's not that easy to open two shops, and you can't save money."
Song Qinghuan didn't dare to accept it. Such a big family had to live, and Xiaoyun herself was very strapped, so how much money could she have?
She pushed it back and said with a smile: "I don't know how to manage the house. If I have money in my hand, I will use it as much as possible. Mother should keep it first. If I really have no use for it, I will come and borrow it from my mother."
Song Qinghuan was sincere in his recommendation, but Xiao Yun did not force it.
Song Qinghuan perfected his plan again at night. The next day, he wanted to discuss it with Zhang Yunwei, but Zhang Yunwei didn't even show his face. He only asked Baixiang to come and say: "Madam said, the girl just needs to get started.
If you don't have enough money, send someone to tell you."
He added: "It's the New Year, and our wife has to follow the old lady to visit relatives, and we really can't spare the time. We have to trouble the girl to spend more time."
The matter was settled like this. Song Qinghuan acted at his will and immediately hired a craftsman to draw the drawings. After the drawings were satisfactory, the repairs began.
For several days in a row, Song Qinghuan had no time to spare. He would go out at dawn and not return until dark.
I was so tired that day that I didn't even have dinner. As soon as I returned to Lan Yue Pavilion, I freshened up and got ready to rest.
Unexpectedly, I just lay down and before I fell asleep, there was a chaotic sound of dog barking outside.
