Shen Changshou nodded and said, "We must provide Uncle Gu with blood food.
When you get married in the future, don’t be careless.”
"Of course. But I'm afraid I won't be able to go home with my uncle tomorrow.
If there are any changes in the meantime, Brother Sun and the others might come again.
Please ask Mr. Bai to accompany Aunt Yuan and her family to Linghe County tomorrow so that you can have some free time.
In fact, I would rather find an old lady to accompany her. How about going to the dental shop to find a maid to do part-time work?" Shen Xiaoye made all the arrangements.
Shen Changshou calmed down and laughed at her for worrying too much, but he also agreed to her suggestion.
Shen Xiaoye had a very fulfilling day. After dinner, she went around selling her cloth, mainly in the outer city. She also delivered the cloth ordered from the inn's kitchen.
The master chef bought the most, and he was smart, so he said to her, "Can you give me these cloths at a lower price?
I asked my wife to take my daughter out to sell goods.”
Shen Xiaoye was more than happy to accept the offer and directly sold another twenty pieces of cloth at the lowest wholesale price.
The next morning, all the money earned in the past two days was given to my uncle to take away.
He also instructed: "You must remind me that I have to pay back grandma 112 taels of this money."
"I know. Your aunt said that this year's dividends can no longer be distributed all at once without leaving any money in the account. She didn't think carefully about it at the time.
As for the cloth from the Xin family, I will ask Lao Jiu to ship some back home as soon as possible." Shen Changshou liked to sell the cloth in batches to others, so that he could get the money back quickly.
Shen Xiaoye said: "How can my aunt disobey my grandfather's order?
The dividend distribution a few years ago was something he strongly advocated.
I think it is necessary to check his pulse frequently, as Grandpa is getting old. "It is inevitable that he will get emotional and confused sometimes, and the younger generations are afraid of making him angry, so they follow him everywhere.
Shen Changshou agreed, "I will take good care of him. It's okay for him to do what he wants in minor matters."
My grandfather, who was digging the foundation in Jiuli Village, sneezed for no apparent reason.
"Bashan, what are you showing off? Come up." As soon as Shen Shanxin came to the school building, he saw his younger brother taking off his robe and working.
Shen Shanyou didn't want to embarrass his elder brother in front of outsiders, so he took the hand of the young man next to him and jumped up, "Brother, is the tile settled?"
"It's settled. Let's go home and talk if I have something to say." Shen Shanxin helped him put on his cotton robe. When the two old brothers left, many of the helpers said, "They are really harmonious brothers."
"This has a lot to do with my daughter-in-law. Aunt Qian and the Lin family are very generous."
"But Uncle Xin's house is not satisfactory after all."
"Go, go, go, don't talk nonsense."
"What nonsense! Changshun is away from home all year round and doesn't even come back for the New Year."
These people who were busy working had no idea that Shen Changshun had already returned, and after seeing Shen Shanyou, they bowed down and acted like little boys to cheer the old man up.
"Changshun, tell me what's the matter. I can't stand such compliments." Shen Shanyou put down the tea.
Shen Changshun didn't dare to act anymore, and this time he said sincerely: "Uncle, I'm thinking about whether I can open a cloth dyeing shop in the capital."
"You can?" His father Shen Shanxin couldn't help wondering, "You can dye? Just now you told me that you think it's a pity that Xiaoye's dyed cloth is only in the village.
That’s why I called your uncle to discuss it, and you…”
Before the old man finished speaking, he had already taken off his shoes and was about to beat his son.
"Brother." Shen Shanyou quickly grabbed him.
"Xiao Ye is here, she can come up and teach for a few days, or I can stay and study for a few days.
Dad, I have a shop, why should I rely on others for my money? "Shen Changshun has seen that as the country prospers for a long time, Da Zhou will exempt cotton field taxes to strongly support cotton planting, and cotton cloth will surely become popular in the future.
Shen Shanyou waved his hand and said, "Whether to teach or not is another matter. As long as the tuition fee is paid, Xiaoye should be willing.
But why don't you do your accounting work?"
"How much?" Shen Changshun knew very well that craftsmanship was the An family's ability and could be passed down to future generations.
However, Shen Shanxin, who had just been comforted, pushed his brother away and left.
"Brother!" When Shen Shanyou chased out, Shen Xiaoye in the other side of the capital city knew nothing about it.
She is no longer limited to selling cloth in the two nearby workshops, but is preparing to travel throughout the capital.
Unfortunately, time waits for no one. The city gates close after sunset and you are not allowed to stay outside after the evening drum sounds.
Fortunately, business was good today. The next day, after sending away her uncle, the cook and a maid hired to take care of the two little girls, she entered the yard with full energy and practiced martial arts.
Mr. Bai, who was watching, kept applauding her, and Shen Xiaoye's punches became even more fluent.
As a result, the watching Xuanshen couldn't keep up with the pace and gave up dejectedly.
Just as Shen Xiaoye finished a set of punches and was about to untie the knot of Xuanshen, there was a knock on the door.
When he opened the door, it turned out to be Lu Guan's eldest brother. After seeing Shen Xiaoye, he said, "I came to ask you for help."
"Brother Lu, please speak." Shen Xiaoye led him to the second courtyard.
But Lu Guan’s eldest brother refused, “I need to take over as soon as possible.
The matter is very simple. I want to buy the house next door from the Zhu family. How about you talk to the Zhu family on my behalf?"
Xuan Shen's eyes suddenly widened, and then he began to smile again, but since the eldest young master was present, he had to hold it back, and his young boy's face turned from red to white, and then red again and white again.
"Okay." Shen Xiaoye really wanted to watch Xuan Shen's performance for a while longer, but she had no choice but to hold back.
Brother Lu Guan was indeed an official soldier. After handing over three hundred taels of silver, he said, "No more than three hundred, it will be troublesome."
After saying this, he left as suddenly as he had come.
At this point, Xuan Shen jumped up and said with a smile: “The eldest young master is on the side of our young master.
I don’t want those relatives to disturb the young master’s private residence.”
"Then go find Shopkeeper Zhu as soon as possible so we can negotiate a price.
I hope they are not being sold at the pawnshop." Before Shen Xiaoye finished speaking, he ran out of the door.
Mr. Bai shook his head. It was obvious that the eldest young master was also cleaning up the mess for the eldest young mistress.
……
Xuan Shen ran very fast, so he didn't care even if he didn't ride a horse.
But when he ran to the West City, he saw many guards of the Siti Cavalry arresting people, and many of those who were arrested were burly men covered in dust.
Xuan Shen was hiding far away, but unexpectedly, a team of fast horses suddenly came from behind him, making the street bustling with activity.
So when he found Manager Zhu, it was already an hour later.
Shen Xiaoye, who was waiting for no one to come, gave a few instructions to Mr. Bai and then walked out of the door carrying the cut cloth.
She was not familiar with tailoring, so she had to ask Mrs. Zhu for some advice. But she happened to meet Mr. Xu who was about to go to work.
As soon as the latter saw her, he thought of something, so he thought for a while and said to her: "Miss Shen, you should be more careful recently. It is better to bring someone with you when you go out. They have been in charge of the case for many years and are all experts."
Shen Xiaoye clasped her fists and thanked him silently. Mrs. Zhu opposite her was confused: "What do you mean?"
