Chapter 94 What Are You Worrying About?
Chapter 94 What are you worried about?
"Sister Ran, I think General Xu is very caring for you. You will definitely live a good life in the future. As for other things in the capital, you don't have to worry. My parents asked me to bring you a message today,
Our Lei and Xu families are in the same boat. We advance and retreat together and share responsibilities, so there is no need to be afraid!" Seeing that it was getting late, Lei Yingying planned to go back. She still had a troublesome baby at home.
.
"I understand what you mean, don't worry, it's okay!" Lin Shuran comforted Lei Yingying, saying that she was not that delicate and careless, and she would not be easily defeated.
After sending Lei Yingying away, Lin Shuran asked someone to inform Jingniang that Uncle Mo and Jinliu were coming to the house, and soon the three of them met Lin Shuran in the back house together.
Lin Shuran invited three people to sit down in the hall. Through Hong Gu, she learned that these three people were actually literate. Although she was surprised, she did not ask any more questions. Fifth Uncle was a mysterious person, and so was Hong Gu. Hong Gu introduced him.
The backgrounds of these three people may not be simple. She is only using them temporarily and will replace them when she finds the right ones.
"Now that the national mourning is over, I plan to choose a good day to reopen the three shops, so I called you all to discuss it." Lin Shuran said to the three of them.
"Master, what's negotiable? You have the final say on the store's affairs!" After Uncle Mo finished speaking, Jing Niang and Jin Liu also nodded. They were here to listen to Lin Shuran's orders, and they would do whatever she asked them to do.
Lin Shuran was no longer polite. She told the three of them that she originally wanted to renovate these three shops, but later felt that it was unnecessary. No matter how well they were renovated, because they were the Xu family's shops, they would probably be damaged during the period when the new decree was implemented.
Even if the business is not doing well, it is better to keep running as before. Even if we can't make any money, it doesn't matter.
Uncle Mo and the other three did not express any objection, and then Lin Shuran asked them to go back first and choose a good day to reopen the three shops.
However, Honggu saw that Lin Shuran was sitting by the window in a daze after Uncle Mo and the others left, as if she was worried about something.
"What are you worried about, ma'am?" Hong Gu asked directly about her doubts.
Lin Shuran couldn't help but chuckle after hearing this. These words seemed suspicious of her as the master, but Hong Gu's words were correct. Trust needs to be established through certain things, so she would boldly try it.
return.
Over the past three years, she and her fifth uncle, who were both teachers and friends, gradually became close to each other, but Honggu was somewhat respectful to her from the beginning, and she also called herself a maid in her words, as if she was willing to be her slave.
Decades ago? How old is that person now? Lin Shuran thought for a moment and then said to Hong Gu: "Hong Gu, since you said that we should learn to trust each other, then I will tell you that I plan to start a
A shop whose real owner cannot be found is the kind that no one can find. Except for you and me, no one in the world knows that I am the owner of this shop. Do you think this can be done?"
Lin Shuran was stunned again. Hong Gu's eyes were too sharp, but she also had some humility and respect for herself. She didn't understand Hong Gu's attitude towards her. At first, she thought it was because of her fifth uncle, but she realized more and more
, Honggu and Fifth Uncle treat themselves very differently.
Lin Shuran has many ways to make money, but her current identity is the general's wife. If there is any trouble with her, the "careful people" in the capital will be able to find out. By then, I am afraid that all the ways to make money will be discovered.
Blocked.
"Who is this person you are talking about, Hong Gu? Is he famous?" Lin Shuran was aroused by her curiosity.
When Lin Shuran heard this, a smile appeared on her face, and she asked Hong Gu to wait for two days.
Lin Shuran was stunned for a moment. She just smiled and shook her head and said, "It's nothing. Maybe it's because the weather is hot and I feel a little irritable."
However, Hong Gu seemed to see through her thoughts. She took two steps closer to her, looked directly at her and said, "I know Madam still doesn't trust me, so why not give me a chance to make you trust me? Maybe I can help Madam solve the problem."
Difficult matter."
So, she stood up and walked to Honggu, and said softly: "Honggu, you should already understand the situation of the Xu family by now. Although this is the general's mansion, because of the emperor's new decree, the Xu family's situation has become a little worse.
It’s very difficult. To tell you the truth, the government is actually a bit stretched now. There is not much usable money left in the palace. The general has to use a sum of money to go out to do things at the end of every year. There are still thirteen young masters in the family. After that,
In a few years, we may have to arrange an engagement for the eldest and second eldest son. If the majestic general's palace can't even come up with a decent betrothal gift, it will make people laugh. I have some money and land, but
If the news spreads that my dowry money is used to support the family, the general and Brother Chen will be even more embarrassed. How will they gain a foothold in the world in the future! You ask me what I am worried about-" Lin Shuran looked at her with a wry smile, "I am
Worrying about money!"
"If that person comes out of the mountain, he can do it!" Hong Gu said without hesitation.
"Madam's concerns, I understand that people's hearts are unpredictable. It's always better to be careful!" Hong Gu did not show any dissatisfaction or disappointment after hearing Lin Shuran's words. Instead, she looked at her with a firmer tone, "But Madam, the relationship between people is
Trust between people does not appear out of thin air, it needs to be established by each other. If you don't try me, how will you know that I am not trustworthy?"
Hong Gu's eyes flickered, but she still told Lin Shuran: "I was famous a few decades ago!"
Hong Gu listened to Lin Shuran's honest words to her and knew her real worries, so she said truthfully: "Madam, I don't know how to make money, and I don't have much money, but I know someone who can make money."
, although that person is more difficult to find, but as long as Madam needs it, I will help you find him no matter what method you use!"
"Hong Gu, you are right. I don't trust you very much. Although you were introduced by Uncle Wu, in fact, I don't know anything about Uncle Wu or you. I don't know what you are doing.
Who are you? I have no idea whether you will do anything detrimental to the Xu family or me!" Lin Shuran was honest at this moment, because what she was going to do next really required someone to be trusted.
people to do it.
Two days later, she handed Honggu a thick envelope, which contained 20,000 taels of banknotes and a detailed plan for opening a shop. As for who the person Honggu was talking about, she did not ask any more questions.
Let’s see how capable Hong Gu and the people Hong Gu has hired are.
Hong Gu took the envelope, and then said to Lin Shuran: "Madam, I'm afraid I have to leave for a while, so please let Jing Niang serve by your side during my absence!"
Lin Shuran shook her head and refused: "No, I have Chunxi and Nanny Zhang by my side, and I have Jing Niang to look after me at the wine shop, so don't worry about me!"
After that, Honggu left, and soon Lin Shuran received the first invitation after the national mourning. She did not expect that the next person inviting her to the banquet was the Princess of the Qing Dynasty.
