When Jiang Hui got married, the Jiang family did not prepare much dowry for her.
Originally, Jiang Hui was just a playmate they found for their son, but because Jiang Sheng was frail, the two didn't play together much at all. Later, they took Qin Qiuyu back and Jiang Sheng's health improved, so the old couple liked to let Qin Qiuyu
To get together with him, I was afraid that Jiang Sheng would be short-tempered, so I didn't let Jiang Hui accompany me very much.
When they got a little older, there were differences between men and women. The old couple of the Jiang family were also afraid that the two siblings would have other feelings... because in their eyes, their son's half-length Qin Qiuyu was the serious daughter-in-law. If the son wanted to survive, he should not offend his daughter-in-law.
.So, they separated the siblings and prevented their son from approaching the woman outside.
Therefore, the relationship between siblings is not really close.
The Jiang family has been in business for most of their lives and knows how to do things well. The relationship between the siblings is weak. After getting married, they can't expect them to support each other. Anyway, they support her and don't expect her to repay them.
Marrying her off to a good match can be regarded as fulfilling the duty of a parent.
Therefore, Jiang Hui's dowry was not very generous and could only be regarded as not being rude.
And there are too many masters in each house in the He family. They can't all go to the accountant to pay money, right?
The He family has family rules, and there are rules for how much monthly silver is given to each person regardless of status. Although the He family has a great business, the monthly silver given out to everyone is really not that much. He Guangyao usually spends money on his wife, not to mention spending money on it.
, he doesn’t have enough of his own, and has to rely on Jiang Hui’s. Men, who doesn’t have a friend outside? Don’t you have to spend money on these contacts?
Over the years, Jiang Hui has not spent all her dowry, but it has not increased in size. Suddenly she has to buy twenty or thirty people, and she feels heartbroken just thinking about it.
Chu Yunli had already begun to pull the beads: "Many of these people are old people in the mansion. They are basically literate and understand the rules. Therefore, the price must be higher." She counted for a while, "One hundred and thirty-eight
Two. The relationship between us is so close, so just wipe out this fraction, I will suffer a loss, one hundred and thirty taels!"
Jiang Hui: "..." Still wiping out zeros! Is this doing business?
Furthermore, this girl has never touched a ledger before. How can she be so flexible with arithmetic?
The most important thing is, do these people need more than a hundred taels to buy it?
Jiang Hui felt disgusted when she saw them. She actually spent so much money to buy them. She felt aggrieved just thinking about them. So she said, "I don't want them anymore. I'll give them back to you."
Chu Yunli waved her hand: "I don't want anyone who betrays the Lord!"
Jiang Hui just wanted to get rid of these people and didn't bother to argue: "Then it's cheaper for you."
"Hey, aunt, you will hurt their hearts. Originally, they were doing well in the Jiang family, but you wanted them to make trouble and they ended up like this. Besides, you asked them to listen to you, isn't it because they are strong?
It's hard to buy a good thing, but is it still expensive like this? If I don't let him go, you won't be able to buy it." Chu Yunli looked at the group of people: "Really?"
A group of people were worried about being betrayed. After hearing this, they immediately agreed. A woman also said: "My aunt promised me to take care of the big kitchen in the future."
"They also said that I would be in charge of purchasing..."
Some people don’t believe it: “I was told clearly that I would be in charge of purchasing, so what does it have to do with you? You can’t even figure out the accounts, so if I ask you to take charge of it, can you handle it?”
The two immediately started arguing.
After Chu Yunli got off the carriage, she had no intention of inviting them in. A group of people were arguing at the door. There was a lot of noise at the moment, and the door looked like a busy city.
It was so noisy that Chu Yunli felt her ears buzzing.
Doing business is also quite tiring, especially when she first took over the business, opened several new shops one after another, and had to juggle with the managers. In the past few days, she had been busy except when she was sleeping, and now she was completely exhausted, and she suddenly felt tired.
Patience: "Auntie, do you want to buy it? If not, I have to go back and rest. These people took it away quickly, just like raising a swarm of bees."
His words were full of disgust.
Jiang Hui felt that she was going to have a heart attack, and she didn't want to buy it! But these people couldn't throw it into their hands, so she gritted her teeth and took out the banknote and gave it to her. The housekeeper immediately gave her the deed.
Jiang Hui didn't even pick it up and signaled the housekeeper to pass it to Ya Po.
At this time, Ya Po was covered in cold sweat and was a little afraid to accept it. She tentatively said: "Madam, this price... I can't give it that high. There is a difference between the buyer and the seller. We still have to go to the Yamen to pay the deed tax. At most, we only pay the deed tax."
I can give you eighty taels."
Jiang Hui's eyes darkened. With this move, she lost fifty taels?
Seeing that the niece over there was about to enter, Jiang Hui took a few steps forward and said, "Yuning, you also heard that they are only worth eighty taels."
Chu Yunli asked back: "Aren't they good to you? You went through all the trouble to buy them. If you want to sell them, that's your business. Does it have anything to do with me having a penny? It's like an antique shop. You buy things at high prices.
, I don’t like it and want to pay it back at the original price, how is that possible? That’s not how business is done. If I do this, won’t I lose everything to the Jiang family?”
Jiang Hui was stunned for a moment. It seemed to make sense, but it also seemed to be nonsense.
She couldn't find anything to say to refute for a while. Over there, Chu Yunli had already led someone through the door quickly. The concierge didn't waste a moment, and the door was closed tightly in an instant.
Jiang Hui: "..."
Seeing that there was no room for negotiation anymore, Jiang Hui really didn't want to keep these people, so it was a loss and she gave them to Yapo to take away.
Jiang Hui was in a bad mood after so many things happened. After returning home, she heard that He Guangyao ran to his concubine's room when he saw that she hadn't come back. She was so angry that she couldn't sleep at night. She was in a bad mood, so she
Want to buy something.
When we got to the bustling street, we saw a newly opened rouge shop on the corner. There were two good-looking women at the door, wiping off the makeup on their faces.
There were many people watching. Jiang Hui took a curious look and saw that after the two young and beautiful women wiped off their makeup, their original faces had wrinkles and fine spots.
It can be called face-changing, like a magic trick.
There was an uproar among the onlookers, and then they heard the shopkeeper at the door say that the makeup would improve their complexion, and many women couldn't help but squeeze in.
Jiang Hui was also infected by the excitement. She got off the carriage and planned to go and see for herself.
She brought her maid in and tried it herself. Her face turned out much better. She was immediately overjoyed and said, "Take a box of each."
The waiter praised her a few words and ran to get some makeup.
Jiang Hui looked at her radiant self in the mirror. No one knew better than her how haggard she was, and the powder worked so well. Even though the shop was not big, it would definitely bring a lot of money in the future. Thinking of this, her heart moved.
When the waiter brought the packaged powder over, she asked with a smile: "May I ask, brother, is your boss here? I have something very important to discuss with him."
Wanting to buy other people's prescriptions is considered a very important thing.
The waiter also received many guests who asked about his boss in the past two days. He smiled and replied: "My boss is not here. He will not be here tomorrow. There is a funeral in our boss's family. He is observing filial piety and it is not appropriate to see guests."
When Jiang Hui heard that there was a funeral to observe mourning, Jiang Hui thought of her niece who had just returned home in the evening yesterday, and suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart, so she blurted out, "What's your employer's surname?"
The waiter laughed and replied: "My surname is Jiang!"
Jiang Hui: "..."
For a moment, Jiang Hui had the urge to raise her hand and wipe the smile off the waiter's face.
The maid next to me didn't look good either. When the waiter saw this, he was a little confused: "Guest, did I make a mistake? If anything is wrong, please don't be angry. Don't be as knowledgeable as a villain like me. I don't know.
Okay, but the powder is good, you have tried it, it is definitely worth the money..." The clerk continued to persuade.
The more Jiang Hui thought about it, the more uncomfortable she became. She patted the powder in her hand and said, "No more."
After saying that, he went out angrily!
Guys stay.
The shopkeeper came over with his hands behind his back. He didn't curse or say anything, and his attitude was very gentle: "It's none of your business, just put it back. That's the Jiang family's aunt. If she comes again in the future, the price will be higher."
Guy: "..."
In fact, it was Chu Yunli who specifically ordered that there be no need to be polite to Jiang Hui and his family.
The Qin family used to go to the Jiang family's shop to get things at the cheapest price. It's the same now, but they probably thought that the daughter of the Jiang family was in charge now, so they wanted to get it for free. After being rejected, they went to a restaurant to eat.
, didn’t want to settle the bill, and even claimed that they were Jiang Yuning’s parents.
After Chu Yunli took over the shop, she had already told them not to be polite to the Qin family. Therefore, when the Qin family couldn't pay the bill after finishing their meal, the shopkeeper pondered and asked them to go to the kitchen to help wash the dishes.
How could the Qin family be so willing?
When I was washing the dishes, I deliberately broke the dishes. The shopkeeper stood aside to settle the accounts and made them pay for the broken dishes. Originally, it took half a month to wash them, but after breaking some more, it took a full month to wash them.
The shopkeeper personally reported this matter to Chu Yunli that day.
The Qin family didn't know. They couldn't figure out why they couldn't take advantage of their daughter being the master of the family, so they sent Qin's mother to intercede with her.
After several trips, the concierge always gave the same answer: "The girl is not here. Please come back another day!"
Mother Qin was so anxious that she got angry and had blisters in her mouth.
Jiang Yuning's feelings for the Qin family were average, and Chu Yunli's was even less affectionate. In the past, the Jiang family would send them enough money to eat and drink every month. In her opinion, this was the end of their benevolence.
Now, she has directly replaced it with rice and vegetables, and there is only enough food for two people. Originally, even if there was a favor, Jiang Yuning only needs to honor her parents. Why should her brother, sister-in-law and sister need her to take care of them?
