Chapter 2011 Conditions
"Why are you here again?" Gu Jinli remembered Lan Jiulang's kindness to Qin Sanlang, so when the Xiao family came to ask for a meeting, she almost always met them: "What's going on this time? Tell me."
Sister Xiao cried: "Cousin, look at the coat your brother is wearing. It's all patched. Look at his face. He's so thin that he's out of shape!"
Gu Jinli: "Cousin, are you blind? Your brother is fed with egg custard every day, but he has gained a lot of weight. Where is the thinness and appearance?"
She waved her hands and said, "Don't be so miserable. If you have anything to say, just say it. I don't have time to watch you act."
After saying that, he grabbed the broad knife lying next to him, pulled out the broad knife, and smashed it on the table with a bang.
Sister Xiao trembled in fright, quickly put away her tears, hugged Brother Gui and hid behind Widow Xiao.
"Good-for-nothing." Widow Xiao scolded and smiled at Gu Jinli: "My nephew and daughter-in-law, I heard that you have opened a porcelain kiln in partnership with others and want to do the porcelain business? Oh, this is a big and expensive business. Just put a few of your relatives in the porcelain kiln. There are no relatives to help you and your wife keep an eye on it. If you are fooled by the partners, you will make a lot less money!"
It turned out that I was interested in the porcelain business and wanted to make some money.
But Gu Jinli didn't say anything, he just looked at Widow Xiao expressionlessly, which almost made Widow Xiao unable to speak.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "My nephew and daughter-in-law, you and your wife are the only relatives here. My aunt will go and clean up now. Tomorrow, she will go to Qingniu Mountain Village to help you and your wife keep an eye on the porcelain kiln business. How about that?"
"Not so good." Gu Jinli looked at Widow Xiao's belly and said, "Aunt, you are almost pregnant, so you should stop fussing about it. As for the porcelain business, we and I are just holding shares and don't intend to take care of it too much."
Sister Xiao hated the iron and said: "Cousins, how can you ignore this? What if you don't care about it and you are cheated? It's all money!"
Widow Xiao: "Yes, nephew-in-law, that porcelain can be sold for a lot of money. If you don't keep an eye on it, you will lose not just a few taels of silver, but hundreds of taels!"
Gu Jinli held his chin with one hand and tapped the blade with the other. He looked at Xiao Mei, who had been silent, and said, "What about you, do you think it would be good to go to Qingniu Mountain Villa?"
Xiao Xiaomei said: "I heard that Qingniu Mountain Villa belongs to Uncle Cao's family. It has a large blue brick house with tiles. It's good to live in it... However, I don't think my cousins are involved in the Qingniu Mountain Porcelain Kiln House. Things are right."
Yo, you are smart.
Gu Jinli asked: "But my aunt and cousin really want to get involved, why don't you want to?"
Xiao Xiaomei said: "This business is done together with General Jiang and the Zhong family. The status of these two families is higher than that of my cousin. It would be good if my cousin and sister-in-law can get a share of the pie. If we mix in too much, if we provoke If the two families are unhappy, they will be ripped off by the two families, and then you wont be able to make anything.
"...What you said makes sense." Although Xiao Xiaomei's words didn't sound good, her analysis was correct. Gu Jinli asked again: "Since you know you can't get too involved in this matter, why do you still come over to make trouble with your aunt and cousin? "
Xiao Xiaomei's answer was also very good: "My father said that we are a family and we have to go together to make trouble. We can't lose the battle."
Well, the corner of Gu Jinli's mouth twitched, and he looked at Widow Xiao and Sister Xiao: "Aunt, cousin, go to the porcelain kiln to take care of the affairs. You should give up. I won't agree."
this?
Sister Xiao was unhappy and murmured dissatisfiedly: "Your cousin-in-law has read books and can keep accounts. It would be great to get him to work as an accountant in the porcelain kiln. But you are still not happy and you don't know the heart of a good person~"
"Sister, stop talking. If you say anything more, you will be punished." Xiao Xiaomei teased Sister Xiao, stopped her from talking nonsense, and asked Gu Jinli: "Cousin, we will not get involved in the porcelain kiln, but the work of the brick kiln will be given to my family. Just a few...let the eldest sister be the housekeeper and the brother-in-law do the accounting, and just give them two taels of silver every month."
Gu Jinli looked at Xiao Mei: "Do you really dare to say that you think they can do this job well with their ability as a couple?"
Xiao Xiaomei: "With dad here, they will definitely be able to do a good job. Cousin, please give them a chance."
Dang Dang Dang~
Gu Jinli tapped the blade of the sword, thought for a while, and said, "It's okay to give them a chance, but I have two conditions... First, your eldest brother must be allowed to work hard in the brick kiln, mixing mud, making brick embryos, and picking green bricks. He has to do all the work. Secondly, if the three of them do not do well, you will have to be punished. After all, you recommended them to work in the brick kiln, and you have to be responsible." If you just want to lie down and be a high-ranking official, giving orders to everyone, and complaining endlessly if you ask him to do some small work, he needs to be cured!
As for the second condition, it was to train Xiao Xiaomei... She found that among the four children of the Xiao family, the two younger ones were more capable... Xiao Chengju and Xiao Xiaomei, as long as they were trained and trained well, they might be able to train them.
However, the premise is that Xiao Xiaomei is willing to support herself, instead of always thinking about hooking up with rich men and becoming a young mistress.
Speaking of hooking up with rich men...
Little sister, why dont you ask about Zhong Yu? Gu Jinli was very curious. Could it be that he doesnt like Zhong Yu anymore?
Xiao Xiaomei said: "He is not in the health center, so there is no chance to cook the rice. Let's do this for now and wait until he comes back."
Gu Jinli froze, you still have the idea of cooking rice with Zhong Yu!
"Don't do this, little sister. The Zhong family is a wealthy family. Even if you boil raw rice into porridge, you still won't be able to get into the Zhong family." She persuaded her earnestly: "The Zhong family pays attention to family status, and the legitimate son If you marry someone who is either a noble daughter of a royal family, a daughter of a noble family, or the legitimate daughter of a high-ranking official, you will not be able to become a concubine."
How do you know that Xiao Xiaomei has great ambitions: "If I let my cousin do more meritorious service and be granted the title of Marquis, won't the Zhong family not dare to look down on me?"
Gu Jinli:
For a moment, I couldn't find the words to scold him back.
"Don't worry, Cousin, I won't let myself suffer. Zhong Yu is so stupid, he can't take advantage of me." Xiao Xiaomei waved her hand and said with a smile: "Let's not talk about it now, it's about the future anyway... Cousin Sister-in-law, if my eldest sister, brother-in-law, and eldest brother fail to do their jobs well, what punishment will I receive? Is it severe?"
She wont agree if the punishment is too harsh.
Gu Jinli chuckled: "Of course it's heavy. Is it possible that you want to take advantage of it without taking a little risk?"
He urged again: "If you don't agree, tell me quickly."
Xiao Xiaomei was a little angry, but finally agreed: "Let's do it."
Agree first and then take advantage.
Gu Jinli saw through her idea at a glance, but it didn't matter, she had plenty of ways to deal with them.
"If nothing happens, go back and stop wandering around. If you can't finish the work, your Lantern Festival meat will be deducted!" Gu Jinli threatened.
Widow Xiao, mother and daughter were very angry and left with Brother Gui in their arms.
However, before leaving, he also took away the two plates of food on the low table and said euphemistically: "Take them back for your brother to make up for your little cousin."
On this day, because the brick kiln made money, the relatives saw hope, and the whole guardhouse was full of laughter.
But early the next morning, they started crying and howling because the tricks taught by Gaofen's mother were too difficult to learn!
