Chapter 327 The Housekeeper Disturbance ([-])

Li's mother hurriedly caught up with him and asked him if the prescription still worked, and did he need to refill it?The doctor glanced back at Yao Cunhui, and said with a half-true smile: "No need for now, the princess also has the same medicine, you can just listen to the princess. Maybe it won't be long before Mrs. Xiao's health recovers. I am a doctor. I am afraid." It's no use anymore!"

"Madam's illness for the past two years is thanks to you. Madam and our servants are grateful to you from the bottom of their hearts. How can you say that about yourself!" Mama Li laughed in fear that the doctor would get angry.She was counting on him to treat Mrs. Xiao's illness!

Mrs. Xiao saw Yao Cunhui's hard work going back and forth every day, and one day it happened to be raining heavily, so Mrs. Xiao simply let her rest in Yanshunju's ear room.Yao Cunhui also felt that this was more convenient, so she ordered someone to pick up a few sets of her dowry and clothes the next day, and simply stayed with Mrs. Xiao all day long.

Sometimes Xue Jialin also came over, and the three of them talked together, or took a walk in the yard or near the garden. Mrs. Xiao was in a cheerful mood, and her body improved day by day.

Sure enough, Mrs. Xue handed over two Zhuangzi and three shops to Mrs. Xiao very quickly.

Mrs. Xiao is not the kind of person who cares about every detail, besides, the Xue family helps her take care of it, there is no credit but hard work, even if she gets some benefits from it, it is understandable, if she insists on being serious, she will seem inhumane .Mrs. Xiao didn't mention the past at all, and the matter just passed away.

"My niece and daughter-in-law, if you think of anything you want to ask, then ask me! I'll tell you everything!" Before leaving, Mrs. Xue left a word with a smile.

Mrs. Xiao glanced at her and said nothing.

After Mrs. Xue left, Mrs. Xiao smiled and asked Yao Cunhui, "Hui Er, do you have any ideas?"

Mrs. Xiao's two villages are located in the northern suburbs of the capital, called Liuhezhuang, with a total of [-] mu of fine paddy fields; .The three shops are located on Huangcheng West Street, Daqianmen Street, and Houhaihu East Road, each of which is a large shop with a wide backyard and houses. Now one sells spices, the other sells groceries, One sells silk and satin cloth.

Needless to say, in addition to offering twenty or thirty shi of rice and seasonal fresh fruits every year, the two Zhuangzi’s combined money was only one or two hundred taels;It was clearly rotten from the root.

"My daughter-in-law thinks that the shopkeepers in these places may not be able to use them anymore!" Yao Cunhui's mother was startled when Yao Cunhui spoke.Does the manager and the shopkeeper change at will?Replace them all, who will take over the management?

When Yao Cunhui was in Yao's house, he was a vigorous and resolute man, so how could he be willing to waste his time with others?What she is most willing to do is draw the bottom from the pot!Now that she wants status, status and money, she is afraid that she won't be able to hire the right person?Li's mother's worry was not a problem at all in her eyes.

Mrs. Xiao's eyes lit up, a trace of approval flashed across her eyes, and she said with a smile, "What happens after you resign from them?"

"I don't know if my mother has any available people. If I didn't tell the steward of the outer court to let him pay attention to finding two honest and reliable people to take care of the two villages, it must be very difficult. As for the three shops—— "

Yao Cunhui already had an idea in his heart, but he didn't know what Mrs. Xiao was thinking, so he didn't dare to speak easily, he hesitated for a while and asked with a tentative smile: "Is the mother of the three shops planning to continue the original business? If so, I'm afraid You have to slowly search for a suitable shopkeeper. After all, this business has its own way, and each trade has its own way, if you find the wrong person, I'm afraid it will be difficult to continue!"

"The two villages can be sent back to Mother Li. As for the shop," Mrs. Xiao said with a smile, "it doesn't matter what kind of business it is, it doesn't have to be the original one! The big deal is to clear out those stocks!"

Yao Cunhui said with a smile: "Since that's the case, I have an idea, I don't know if mother will agree or not?"

"Let me listen to you!" Mrs. Xiao became interested when she saw that her eyes were shining a little bit.

Yao Cunhui smiled and asked, "Mother should know about Luhuatang, right?"

"Luhuatang?" Mrs. Xiao nodded and smiled, "I know, it is a beauty and skin care company that is well-known in the capital. Mother doesn't need it, but your sisters and your fourth aunt in our family use it." Looking at the stuff from that house, I heard it’s not bad.”

Seeing that only Mama Li was around, Yao Cunhui leaned forward and whispered, "To tell you the truth, Luhuatang is actually a daughter-in-law's business. My daughter-in-law and Dr. Zhu's family are in partnership, and there is also a piece of my cousin's sister-in-law in the Yun family." become."

"You?" Mrs. Xiao was taken aback, then smiled in surprise, "I really didn't expect my daughter-in-law to be so good at making money!"

"Mother, don't laugh at me. Money was tight at that time, and it was just a few pocket money!" Yao Cunhui was slightly embarrassed.

Mrs. Xiao couldn't help but smiled, and thought that it was not pocket money, and the money earned this year might not be tens of thousands of taels!

"Since it's yours, just make a fortune quietly, but don't let others know!" Mrs. Xiao was very considerate, and said: "Well, then you want your mother's three shops to do business with Luhuatang?"

"Mother's three shops are located in a very good location. I just had this idea! I don't want my mother for nothing. I'll go and see for myself later. I will give my mother at least 5000 taels of silver for one of them every year. What do you think?" Yao Cunhui laughed quickly. Secretly admired Mrs. Xiao's quick thoughts.

Li's mother's eyelids twitched, and she couldn't help being speechless. One room was five thousand, and three rooms was [-], which was several times more than the total income in the past few years!That money has become so easy to earn all of a sudden?

"Mother's shop will not be given to you in the future! Silly boy, what are you doing so clearly! I think you will give mother 5000 taels a year, just make sense! Listen to what mother has to say first," Mrs. Xiao smiled and patted Clapping her hand, she sighed and said, "The two Zhuangzi will be used as dowry for Lin'er in the future. Two of these three shops will be for you and Quan'er, and the other one will be for Lin'er. I won't give it to her either. , that child has always been docile and honest, how can she know how to manage it? You will still take care of it in the future, just give her the profit she deserves every year! Don't worry, my mother will discuss this matter carefully before she leaves the cabinet. She made it clear, Duanfan won't be entangled!"

"This—" Yao Cunhui pondered for a moment.

"Princess, you have also seen our third lady's temperament, you must suffer a little, and help her!" Madam Li persuaded with a smile.

"Mom said the opposite, I feel embarrassed that I took advantage!" Yao Cunhui laughed hurriedly.

"Mama Li's words are exactly what mother said in her heart. If you are filial to mother, then don't refuse!" Mrs. Xiao also said.

"It sounds like my mother's shop is here!" Yao Cunhui joked, but her tone softened and she nodded.

"Mother's stuff you like, just open it, what's the use of mother keeping it!" Mrs. Xiao also laughed.

The matter is thus settled.

Unexpectedly, two days later, when Yao Cunhui returned to Xihetang to take a bath, Mrs. Xue suddenly came to visit.

Yao Cunhui came out to meet her, and politely asked Mrs. Xue to sit down.

Xue greeted her affectionately, and kept praising the mother-in-law she served for her kindness, filial piety, and hard work, as if there had never been any unpleasantness between the two of them.

Xue's generosity, Yao Cunhui naturally can't be petty, although he is vigilant and disdainful in his heart, he has a calm and soft smile on his face, and is always humble.

"Is that so, I heard that my sister-in-law is going to fire the managers and shopkeepers of the two villages and the three shops?" Xue asked with a smile after changing the subject.

"Yes." Yao Cunhui nodded and didn't say anything else.

Seeing that she didn't explain a few words, Mrs. Xue had to laugh again: "I don't think well of the stewards in those two villages. I wanted to change them at first, but unfortunately I have been busy all the time, but the three shops are almost The shopkeepers are all familiar with the job, so if they are dismissed all at once, how will the business continue? Nephew and daughter-in-law, why don’t you persuade sister-in-law!”

"Second Aunt is trying to intercede for them?" Yao Cunhui asked bluntly with a smile.

Xue's expression was stagnant, and he simply nodded and said: "Yes, I have been running this shop for so many years. I have worked hard without credit or hard work. It seems a bit unreasonable to suddenly resign for no reason? Is it a bit unreasonable in the future? Who dares to take over? I'm doing this for the sake of my sister-in-law!"

"Second Aunt has a heart!" Yao Cunhui sneered in her heart. Of course, she hoped that those shopkeepers would continue to be there. They were all arranged by her. As long as they were there, they would naturally benefit her!
"Mother, it's labor-intensive and unprofitable to manage the three shops by herself, and she still has endless worries, so she decided not to do it!"

"Sister-in-law wants to sell the whole shop?" Xue's eyes lit up, and she smiled a little, "I know a few merchants with good reputations and rich wealth, why don't I help you find out if you have any?"

"Second Aunt, you misunderstood," Yao Cunhui said with a smile, "Mother has already decided to rent the shop to Luhuatang, just charge a commission every year!"

Mrs. Xue was secretly disappointed, stunned, and then said: "Even if it is rented out, the shopkeepers can still keep it. Doesn't Luhuatang want to employ people?"

"That's about Luhuatang, I don't know!" Yao Cunhui smiled.

Seeing that she had talked for a long time but did not get any benefit, and hearing Yao Cunhui's expression of evasion, she couldn't comprehend the meaning of her implying that she interceded with Luhuatang, so her face immediately turned ugly, and she didn't say a word Then he got up and left.

"By the way, now my sister-in-law is being taken care of by a medically-savvy and careful person like my nephew and daughter-in-law. It's useless for the doctor to think about it! The doctor left the house yesterday, and I can't stay no matter what. In the future, I'm afraid Please take care of your niece and daughter-in-law!" Xue sneered slightly, and left without saying a word.

Yao Cunhui couldn't help changing color slightly, and remained silent for a while.She was still secretly planning in her heart to try to find evidence and find out the doctor's details!Unexpectedly, Mrs. Xue acted first and rushed to send the person away!Now it's like swimming like a fish into the sea, and it's not so easy to find someone!

Yao Cunhui was secretly annoyed, but fortunately Mrs. Xiao's body was slowly recovering, so the man had no choice but to put him down for the time being.
