407 Yun Zhaowu
Repeat the chapter, babies will come to see it tomorrow morning.
I don't dare to raise it high anymore. I'll make trouble for you, my mother, should come and beat us both. I looked at the fierce look and wished I could tear us both and eat it.
Wu Pingxun walked quietly behind with the child in his arms, and Shen Mingzhu's tone was smooth.
She turned around and began to irritate her aunt again, "Brother-in-law is not at home, isn't Jinniang's uncle at home? Is he called Xu Chong? He is now a sixth-rank Wuwei lieutenant. If he had some help, his husband might have been able to get an official position early."
What Shen Mingzhu didn't say was that she felt that Xu Chong might be able to help her husband better. Although she was willing to let her husband have a fat, she also knew that it was all a carrot and a pit, so she was afraid it would be difficult to get in. Besides, Xu Erlang is famous for not being able to get in. What if he refuses to arrange errands for his relatives?
On the other hand, Xu Chong was always a man who was a good person. He had been with the three religions and all kinds of people in Pingyang. Although his reputation was not good, he had a wide range of popularity. He could not follow the right path in his work and just follow some wrong paths, but it has to be said that sometimes wrong paths are very useful.
Besides, such a person has a low bottom line, so as long as he is convinced, he will be assigned to do the matter. On the other hand, Xu Erlang and Shen Mingzhu didn't say it, but she was indeed a little unprotected.
Another point is that my husband was a constable earlier, and Shen Mingzhu intended to let him continue on this road. Although it was not very decent, my husband was easier to get started. Moreover, the servants in the capital were not comparable to those in small places in Zhuyang... With the help of the Xu Mansion, it might not be a small constable, but a leader.
Xu Chong joined the army and wanted to know more people in this area, so it might be easier to arrange.
Shen Mingzhu said the meaning roughly, but Aunt Chen shook her head immediately, "You also know that Xu Chong is a good person. When he was in Pingyang, he didn't even buy his face. Do you still expect him to arrange errands for Pingxun for Jinniang's sake? You should stop that, but you haven't expected Erlang to be more secure."
But when she begged Xu Erlang, she just begged Jinniang, and she just asked Jinniang to suppress her, she felt uncomfortable.
Shen Mingzhu thought so in her heart, but she didn't say anything to her tongue.
The group entered the flower hall. Uncle Chen took the opportunity to tell his father Lin about the fact that he would pack up the gifts in the past few days and planned to move to Shuner Hutong in a few days.
After hearing this, Father Lin and Aunt Shen quickly tried to keep them, "Why are you in a hurry to pack up? Didn't your uncle say that the owner will have to come back a few days and then transfer the property, and it will take a few days. Now you can pack your luggage, and it will be inconvenient to get it. It's better to live in the mansion first and wait until the mansion is cleaned up and then pack your luggage."
Uncle Chen waved his hand, "There is nothing in the house over there, and the owner has packed all the things, so there is an old man watching the doorman. As long as you pass the house, you can move there at any time. But what you said makes sense, so wait a few more days and wait until the matter is completely settled before cleaning up here."
Speaking of the shop again, "It's a chance. The shops in Beijing are so popular, so it's really hard to buy them. I looked at a few of them, either the location is inappropriate or the shop is too small, so I'm a little restrained in doing business."
I have already bought a house and am preparing to buy a shop, so why don’t I move to the capital?
Lin's father moved his mind and asked out the question.
Uncle Chen shook his head without thinking, "That's not OK. I have left a stall in my hometown. I finally managed to manage all my connections, so I let it go. I felt so distressed. As for settling in the capital, it is said that it is not easy to live in the capital. Just buy that house, I feel that my foundation will be hollowed out. If there is no stable investment, I feel even more uneasy." He also said, "We can control the business in this capital. Those people have ten or eight-minded people, and I can't even raise it in front of others."
Jinniang quickly said, "Uncle is being self-deprecating. How can my uncle run a big stall in Zhuyang? Why can't he be in the capital? Businessmen in the capital are smart, but not everyone is smart. They are also ordinary people, with two eyes, one nose and one mouth, and they are not as good as my uncle, nor are they less powerful than my uncle. Why do you think of people so high and step on yourself into the mud?"
Uncle Chen lit up Jinniang, laughing and crying.
Jinniang said again, "If you want me to say that my uncle should move to the capital. Once my cousin is studying in the capital, my cousin's wife and two children will definitely stay. Only your aunt will go back to Zhuyang and she will not be able to see her grandson for a year or two. Don't you want to panic? My cousin and cousin's sister-in-law have nothing to do and are not familiar with the place in the capital. Don't you feel at ease to leave them behind?"
"Let me come back, my uncle is not as good as the businessmen in the capital, but those people are used to being slick, and they are not as good as them. But my uncle's business is so big, but the word integrity is the word "uncle". This is my desirability. We don't compare others' strengths with our weaknesses. At that time, we buy a shop in Beijing and find some shopkeepers who are wise and managers. Wouldn't that be worse than them?"
"As for what my uncle does in the capital, I have thought about this. Why not be my uncle's old business and sell some mountain grains? If my uncle feels sorry for Zhu Yang's connections and house shops, he will simply keep it. Zhu Yang has many good things that are not available in the capital. At that time, my uncle will not have to fire the workers, so he will ask them to help guard him and ask them to collect specialties from Luoxi North to the capital to buy. This business can be done, right?"
He also said, "Chang'an Changping has been doing some business of selling goods from north to south over the years. My uncle can ask the two boys to learn from the scriptures. But you have no competition, because Chang'an Changping takes the route from Jiangnan to the northwest, and my uncle takes the route from northwest to Beijing. You can transport the east and west of the northwest to the capital, and then resell the capital to the northwest."
This is a good way.
But whether it is moving to the capital or starting a new business, it is not decided by just one or two words. Not to mention anything else, the journey from the northwest to the capital is not very peaceful. If you want to have a smooth relationship, how can you act to make the best profit? Don’t make money and pay for your life, it will be unpaid.
Uncle Chen showed a meditative look on his face, but this matter was indeed not settled in a day or two. He said, "I think about it, I think about it again."
Aunt Chen was also confused at this moment. Why did he say that his family was moving to the capital?
Is the capital good? That must be good. At the foot of the emperor, there is a place of glory and wealth. I feel that the sky in the capital is bluer than in the northwest, the water in the capital is sweeter, and the air in the capital is fresh.
But Aunt Chen felt relieved.
The capital is where nobles live. How can these little people who are powerless and powerless, settle here?
It is said that they would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail. Although they are not called a chicken head in Zhuyang, they are also famous and lucky figures. Zhuyang went from county magistrates to peddlers and pawns, because they had two good relatives, they all looked up to them, and no one dared to find them uncomfortable.
But when they arrived in the capital, what kind of person do they count as?
Even the important officials of Erlang and other court acted in a low-key manner. Even though Jinniang was a wife of the imperial decree, she was kind to others and had to consider what she said and did, for fear of causing trouble by accident.
All the big guys have to be careful to survive. So do they still have room for survival, such small guys?
Aunt Chen refused to settle in the capital from the bottom of her heart, but in the deepest part of her heart, she was excited by this suggestion.
The capital city is a place where even the county magistrate’s wife has never been to. Many wealthy families in Zhuyang all look yearning and longing when talking about the capital. In their opinion, the capital city must be paved with gold bricks, and the people are all pearls and jade. The capital city is a place where they all respect it. If she settled in the capital city... Aunt Chen had already imagined the scene of her being flattered and envied.
At this time, she was trembling all over and wanted to pull Uncle Chen to make the decision directly. However, although she was clamoring outside, she looked like a big man, at home, especially in such a big thing, Aunt Chen didn't dare to say a word.
When Jinniang saw her uncle's face, she added, "It is said that people go to high places and water flows to low places. Since there is a high platform, why do you still have to fall to low places? There are many famous teachers in the capital and many famous academies. This will be of great benefit to Qiubai's future study." What Jinniang didn't say was that although she can't take care of her uncle's family now, after all, they might be released with Xu Erlang when they will be released, but they will return to Beijing sooner or later. At that time, the uncle and the others will be under their noses. Even if something happens, they will be able to take care of them.
Jinniang didn't understand the words very clearly, but she knew that her uncle must have thought of this. Sure enough, she saw that Uncle Chen's expression became even stronger.
He was not moved by something else, but for Jinniang's words, "People go to high places, water flows to low places." Yes, people will only seek face for their children and grandchildren after a lifetime of struggle? Since children and grandchildren can get better education and have more opportunities to stand out, he will definitely not be able to hold them back.
Uncle Chen almost made up his mind to move to the capital, but he still said that. This is a big event for life. Even if he relocates, he has to think about many things carefully and he will not be anxious.
"I'll think about it again."
...
Uncle Chen left with Aunt Chen with a sudden look on his face and Shen Mingzhu with a thoughtful look on his face. Aunt Chen looked at Father Lin and wanted to speak to Jinniang but stopped.
Lin's father obviously knew what Aunt Chen wanted to say, so he coughed lightly, "If you want to speak, just talk, keep watching what I do? I won't let you say it, why are you still giving me eye drops on Jinniang?"
Aunt Chen felt a little aggrieved. She dared to give him eye drops. Isn’t she not sure if she could say that?
"Tell me, anyway, Jinniang still needs help. If you don't talk about it now, I will talk about it later."
Seeing the two old people vaguely, Jinniang said funny, "What do you mean by my aunt, there is nothing to do with it in front of me."
Aunt Chen looked at Father Lin and then at Jinniang, "Then I'll say it."
The matter is actually very simple. The fifth princess showed Xuanxuan her own house and intended to match the two of them, so she asked someone to bring a message to the two elders and asked them if they had any intention to meet.
Jinniang was stunned when she heard this and said that this was unexpected, but it was not. Because she had thought about Xuanxuan's marriage when she was still in Hezhou. She was not a good matchmaker, and she didn't know when she would be able to return to Beijing at that time, so she still thought that Xuanxuan's marriage would have to be handled by Ke Ke, who had to go through the family. Ke Ke had no experience and was not very good at knowing people, so this matter would probably fall on the fifth princess.
She thought of it, but she didn't expect that things would really develop as she expected.
Jinniang smiled, "The fifth princess is helping the other family to look at each other, so the designation is not wrong." Not to mention that the fifth princess is very stable and reliable, just to say that for the future happiness of Ke Ke and Qing'er, the fifth princess has to try her best to find a good family for Xuanxuan. Otherwise, Xuanxuan will be uncomfortable and will not have to implicate Qing'er and Ke Ke in the end?
Aunt Chen said, "Actually, the fifth princess had already written to me and your father through this matter. At that time, Qing'er still wrote a letter to us, saying that there were two candidates, and she was optimistic about them, but to be safe, she still had to observe. The fifth princess is a proper person, just waiting for us to come to Beijing to see the people. However, after we entered Beijing, we started to be busy with the marriage between Qing'er and Ke Ke, and we didn't care about this matter. Now that the matter has been settled, the fifth princess mentioned whether to meet the man."
Having said that, Jinniang didn't know who the man was, so she asked, "Which family is you talking about?"
The fifth princess is reliable in doing business, and I don’t think she would tell Xuanxuan any powerful families. After all, the Lin family is still weak. Even though Qing'er, Tanhua, is now an editor in the Hanlin Academy, and even afterwards he married a county lord and married the family of the Minister of Justice of the Ministry of Justice, the Lin family and the Zhongming Ding Food Farmers of Daqi are still very, very different. Let’s not mention other Houfu Prince’s Mansions, but only the Ke Mansions where Ke Ke was born, and the two families are very different. This is the old teacher “spoke random couples” to match Qing'er and Ke Ke, otherwise Qing'er would have dreamed in the daytime.
To say these things, we should also name them. The four words "being a good family" are really important. Even if there is a saying nowadays, "Graduate families marry daughters, and low families marry women", if you want to be a relative, first of all, the two families will not be too different. Even if there is a gap, the high family and low families will not be too different.
Jinniang now understands this sentence very well. Although marrying a daughter, she will let her daughter marry to a higher level, being a daughter-in-law is no longer as a daughter. If she marrying someone, she should be cautious and careful everywhere. If the married man is too powerful, then the new daughter-in-law will not be as simple as being cautious. She will probably become like walking on thin ice and trembling at all times.
Therefore, this girl has both advantages and disadvantages in marrying her high. For the sake of the girl's goodness, it is best to be a good match when celebrating her.
