"Grandma, your dowry is worth 30,000 taels of silver, 30,000 taels!" Aunt Chen said indignantly, "Now the family is not as good as before. 30,000 taels are enough to eat for three or five years!"

The maid and mother who helped carry the box in Tingyuxuan was stunned when she heard this.

In a silence, Chen Muqing looked at Aunt Chen with a smile: "Now the family is only two per year, the expense of 3,000 taels of silver is enough for ten years!"

Xianglian pulled Aunt Chen's sleeve from the side.

"Oh!" Aunt Chen smiled and reluctantly, "Are you worried about your aunt? You have to pay for your account now and have more money, so life is better, right?"

Chen Muqing smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern. I will live at home in the future, so I will naturally have my family to take care of my food and drink. What should I worry about?"

Aunt Chen laughed dryly and said, "Auntie is right. I'm worried!"

Chen Muqing smiled and turned around and pointed to the pair of square-mouthed blue and white flower vases in Bu Yue's hand and said, "Leave this, and the first volume in the first volume - I'm going to put it in the tea shop!"

"Put it in the tea shop?" Yingfen, who recorded the reconciliation book, was very surprised. "Put it in the Yiwen tea shop?"

Chen Muqing named the tea shop that opened in Baizhifang "Yiwen Tea Shop": "... Since it is better to do business for those managers, it is better to be approachable. Not only that, it also has to be true to the name - Longjing, Pu'er or Maojian, they only buy one penny per pack."

"One cent?" Zhou Bing calculated the account, "This is the same price as the roadside teahouse... I can't make money! Although our shop belongs to our own, if we rent it out, we can get a 120 taels of silver a year. You have to settle this account."

It's indeed an old business.

"I'm already planning to make small profits but quick turnovers." Chen Muqing smiled, "I'll get out of the situation for the time being, and then add varieties later."

Zhou Bing is also an old businessman. After thinking about it, he said, "It's true. I have never done this industry before. I'll try the depth first. If I can't do it!"

Chen Muqing admired his attitude very much.

The shop has been open for more than half a year and finally became famous in the Baizhifang area.

"Yeah!" Chen Muqing nodded, "I'm going to make the shop more elegant and attract some young masters to go to have tea."

"But this is also..." Ying Fan looked at the square-mouthed blue and white flower vase that cost three taels of silver, "It's so expensive!"

"Yes! Auntie," said Aunt Chen, too, "There are no serious people who drink tea there. If they are easy for others, they will be a big loss."

"Try it first!" Chen Mu smiled faintly, but his attitude was very persistent.

She thought of the porcelain screen that was broken by her second sister in Wanbaozhai.

Yingfan and the others understood her personality, responded to "yes", took a new account book and started to add the porcelain that Chen Mu counted. As she wrote, she suddenly understood a little. Anything Chen Mu counted was fake.

This is also good, so as not to get confused with Baizhifang.

She thought, writing faster and faster.

Seeing that Chen Muqing was concentrating on lighting the porcelain, Xianglian quietly pulled Aunt Chen's sleeve and whispered: "Let's go!"

Aunt Chen was also a little bored, so she greeted Shen Muqing and took Xianglian back to Liuyiyuan.

On the way, Xianglian whispered: "Why do you have to compete with your aunt for that moment? As long as she doesn't marry again, those things will be at home one day - you make her unhappy, and it will only make the master angry."

Aunt Chen stopped and shouted softly: "What do you know? If she continues to scatter like this, how can we have our great deeds?"

Xianglian whispered: "Then let my aunt be the head of the house... Didn't the master say that if you have anything to ask my aunt to tell me about anything? What's the difference between this and letting her be the head of the house? I think you might as well be more generous and treat this family for her - what's the use of you for that false reputation? This family belongs to Brother Shexiaozao!"

Aunt Chen pursed her lips: "I don't know where, but..." There was a hint of hesitation on her face.

Xianglian smiled and said, "I'm just talking about it. As for what to do, I still have to listen to you."

Aunt Chen pondered for a while and said, "I'm not the one who has no eyes. The master hid me so much that he even stood up for her, and I knew it in my heart. I was just afraid that she would check the account of the shop in the south. You don't know that last time, I took all the rare jewelry my wife gave me back then... If she hadn't checked it down further, I would have lost the money I had to redeem."

Then don’t just care about your brothers and your sons?

After saying this, Xianglian didn't say it.

When Aunt Chen saw that she was silent, she knew that she wanted to persuade her... However, the shops in the south were all going to be placed in the account, and she didn't rely on her brothers to dig a little. If something happened, Dashe was still so small. Who could she expect? She was not counting on the money she had in her hands. She wanted to be the boss, but for the money...

But Yingfen was complaining softly: "...I am really unable to get on the table anymore. Why can I say such words?"

Shen Muqing took the account book she wrote and flipped through it, and said with a smile: "It's normal that she is a little frivolous without a wife pressing on it. As long as she can handle the master well, there is no need to worry about money."

Yingfen couldn't help but say: "There is no good for a hundred days, and no one will be prosperous for a lifetime. My aunt is too expensive..."

It was saying that she gave those two shops to Wang Wenhui!

People have money to gain courage.

The more money she has, the more restless she becomes...

But before seeing the results, Shen Muqing would not talk nonsense.

She smiled and said, "Zhu Ji is now three months pregnant, and Luo Mei has just gotten married and Lin Ruichun went to Huzhou - we can make money again, but the good time for this young couple is gone forever."

Yingfen blushed: "How old is my aunt now? She actually said such things!"

Shen Muqing touched the peony bun on his head: "I was finally married..."

Yingfen's eyes sank and said nothing.

*******

The next day on the Qingming Festival, Shen Zhen took Shen Muqing, Dashe and Aunt Chen to burn incense paper for Li.

Dashe couldn't even move his eyes when he saw someone flying a kite next to him.

Shen Zhen smiled and told Aunt Chen: "Please buy a kite for him too!"

Aunt Chen responded happily and asked the servant to buy a rough butterfly kite from the street stall next to him, and personally took him to fly the kite.

Shen Zhen murmured to himself at the grave of Li for a long time, but Shen Muqing didn't hear a single word.

He suddenly looked up and said to Shen Muqing: "You go and fly kites too! I will talk to my wife."

I want to stay alone for a while!

Shen Muqing nodded and went to Aunt Chen's place.

Despite this, she was thinking about Shen Zhen in her heart, and she glanced at him from time to time.

Suddenly, Chen Muqing saw Aunt Chen turn around quickly: "The sun is too big, I'll sit under the shade of the trees beside me!" The voice of his speech was nervous.

Chen Muqing couldn't help but feel strange.

This is the time when the weather is sunny, how can we talk about "the sun is too big?" "She was about to ask Aunt Chen what happened, but Aunt Chen had already hurriedly walked towards the towering tree not far away.

"I, I'll go to serve my aunt!" Xianglian's expression also showed a little panic. She said hurriedly, and then followed Aunt Chen.

Chen Muqing couldn't help but look at him.

She saw four or five men of different ages on the avenue not far away, the older ones were in their thirties, and the younger ones were only seventeen or eighteen years old. They were wearing silk and satin, and with their servants, laughing and noisy. One of them was in his early twenties, with fair skin as white as snow, and his facial features were as delicate as picturesque. Although he was smiling, his eyes were sharp and cold. When he looked closer, he had one leg slightly turned outward when he walked, so that his shoulders shook and looked a little limp.

In the flash of lightning, Chen Muqing suddenly understood.

She suppressed the anger in her heart and ordered Yingfen: "Go and call Xianglian."

Yingfen saw that her face turned pale when she was so angry that she didn't dare to ask too much, so she hurriedly called Xianglian.

Xianglian followed Yingfan with some anxiety. She saluted Chen Muqing with her back to the Dao and said with a smile: "What are the instructions for aunt?"

"Do you have news about Chen Yuerong?" Chen Muqing's eyes were full of sharpness.

A hint of panic flashed in Xianglian's eyes, but she quickly returned to normal: "You are talking about the fourth girl in Taicang, are you? I have never seen her since she left!"

"Oh!" Chen Muqing saw the chill in her eyes, and she ordered Yingfen: "Find a dentist and ask her to take Xianglian away!"

Xianglian suddenly panicked, and she knelt in front of Shen Muqing: "Auntie, please be kind!"

Chen Muqing let her hold her knees, her face turned cold and called Li's mother: "Trag her away!"

Mother Li immediately raised Xianglian with two grandmasters who followed the car.

Xianglian cried: "Auntie, please spare me! I will never dare again, I will never dare again!"

Chen Muqing made a "pause" gesture in the morning of Li's mother and looked at her coldly: "Never dare again? Then tell me, what have you done?"

Xianglian looked at Aunt Chen with tears in her eyes and shouted: "Auntie, I, I don't know what I did wrong. Do you want to sell me?"

Her crying and screaming attracted the attention of the people around her, let alone Aunt Chen and Shen Zhen.

The two of them walked over one after another.

Chen Zhen looked serious and said, "What's going on?"

Aunt Chen's eyes flashed and she didn't say anything.

In front of so many people, Chen Muqing couldn't say anything and said vaguely: "I'll tell you when I go back!"

Chen Zhen nodded and said to Li's mother: "Take the person down and follow my aunt's instructions later."

Xianglian cried loudly.

Aunt Chen didn't care about the soil on the ground and knelt in front of Chen Zhen: "Master, Xianglian is still young. If you offend your aunt, please give me some advice because she serves me with all her heart. Don't sell her!"

Chen Zhen looked at Chen Muqing.

When Aunt Chen saw this, she kowtowed to Chen Muqing again: "Auntie, please forgive her!"

Chen Muqing looked at her coldly without saying a word.

Someone said, "Whose family is this? The rule is so strict! He always sells people!" There was a bit of disdain in his tone.
