Wei Qing brought his wife home, and the two of them stayed together for a while.
In the evening, Tang Li and Wei Qing took the two babies out for a walk, but deliberately avoided crowded places.
My mother is busy on weekdays, and Aunt Zhao is also very cautious. She doesn't dare to take the two children out, so the two babies stay at home obediently.
But, they are children after all, they like to play and be lively.
When I went out, I felt like a bird entering the forest, and I was very happy.
Tangli gave each of the two babies one string of coins and told them to buy whatever they wanted.
Sanbao was careless and quickly spent all the money he had.
Erbao, on the other hand, spent a long time haggling over the price in front of the stall.
"Uncle, can you give me a discount if I buy four of these candy figures?"
"Uncle, this is already the lowest price."
"Uncle, it's not easy for you to do business. I certainly can't let you make no profit at all. So, if you can get a penny cheaper for each one, selling four will definitely make more money than making one, right?"
The stall owner thought the little kid was very cute when he bargained seriously, and thought what he said made sense, so he sold it to him.
Erbao bought four sugar figures, one for his sister, one for his father, and one for his mother.
We bargained along the way and Erbao spent his money very slowly.
"This kid is so stingy, I don't know who he takes after." Wei Qing said with a smile.
"I'm not stingy at all with my family, you see."
Sanbao saw that he liked a wooden sword, but after searching in his pocket for a long time, he only pulled out a copper coin, and his head drooped. At this time, Erbao handed over the money he had saved.
Sanbao bought the wooden sword he liked and became very happy. He hugged Erbao's arm and acted coquettishly.
Tang Li and Wei Qing couldn't help but smile when they saw this scene.
After a family of four finished shopping, it was already late when they got home, so they washed up and went straight to bed.
The next day.
Wei Qing rushed to Xie's house to work, and Tang Li also went to Baoqing Pavilion.
The shop has an inner and outer room. The inner room is small, like a study, with a table, cabinets, and a small bed.
Tangli stayed in the inner room while Changlu was busy in the outer room.
Tang Li took the bills to do the accounting. Now there was only Chang Lu in the shop, who was equivalent to half the shopkeeper. No matter how smart Chang Lu was, he couldn't do the accounting because he was illiterate.
There are fewer accounts now, so Tangli can still handle it on the side. When the business picks up, he will definitely hire a dedicated accountant.
Tangli was doing the accounts while making plans.
"Madam, please come out quickly." Chang Lu's voice sounded outside the door, a little anxious.
This kid is very cunning. If he can't handle it, it must be a big deal.
Tang Li quickly put down the brush, pushed the door open, and saw a woman with exquisite makeup standing in the store.
The woman looked to be in her thirties, dressed in gorgeous clothes, and had a distinguished family background. She held her chin slightly raised and had an arrogant attitude.
She was followed by four maids and two servants.
In Yaoshui Town, it was rare for people to go out in such a manner. Even Bai San, who had a mouth full of yellow teeth, only brought two servants with him.
The woman gave a look, and two servants came in carrying a box and opened it.
Inside were rows of glittering silver ingots!
Tang Li was surprised: "Madam, what does this mean?"
"Your husband saved my master's life, this is a thank you gift!"
"Who are you?"
"I'm Madam Mu."
Madam Mu? Tang Li didn't know Madam Mu, nor did he know anyone related to her.
"Yesterday at the temple fair, your husband Wei Qing saved my husband." Madam Mu reminded.
Tangli understood immediately.
Wei Qing only said yesterday that a servant wanted to assassinate his master, but was stopped by him. Tang Li didn't know that the assassinated man's surname was Mu.
"It's Madam Mu, Madam Mu, please take a seat."
Chang Lu had already cleverly offered the chair.
Mrs. Mu sat down on the chair.
"Mrs. Mu, how is Mr. Mu?"
"He was a little frightened, and then he started clamoring for his lifesaver. After searching throughout the mansion for a whole day, he finally found his benefactor."
Madam Mu had something else to say.
When the guy at home heard that his benefactor had been found, he completely disregarded his own status and ran to Xie's house to look for him, but was sent away with a simple "busy".
When Madam Mu rushed over, she saw the guy sitting on a chair at the door of Xie's house, saying he was waiting for his benefactor. Madam Mu couldn't bear to watch him, so she offered to thank him on his behalf. Only then did the guy calm down and go home obediently.
Mrs. Mu naturally didn't want to meet a man outside her family, so she asked her servants to find out that Wei Qing's wife also opened a shop in the town, and then she came to visit.
"One hundred taels, your husband deserves this thank you gift. The five or six servants around the master receive several taels of salary every month, but no one reacted in the critical moment. To hire a guard like your husband, it would cost several hundred taels a year. This time it is definitely worth a hundred taels." Mrs. Mu said.
Merchants value profit, and this hundred taels was calculated carefully by Madam Mu. She also hinted that the payment was in exchange for the goods, and no more should be asked for.
Tang Li could also understand that the Mu family was one of the wealthiest in Yaoshui Town. With such a family background, they were indeed afraid of being tricked by someone who had "saved their lives".
but……
Tang Li smiled slightly. "Madam Mu, my husband is a kind man. If he encountered a situation like that, even if it wasn't Master Mu, but an ordinary person, even a cat or a dog, he would still help. If I accepted so much money from you, it would be like accepting a reward, which would be an insult to my husband's kindness. I accept your kindness, but please take back the money."
Madam Mu's expression was not very good: "Are you comparing my master to a bunch of random people?"
"Ma'am, I just want to tell you not to measure everything by money."
Madam Mu snorted lightly: "Since you don't want the money, then I will take it back."
Tang Li was unmoved: "As you wish."
At Madam Mu's command, the two servants closed the box and moved away.
Madam Mu angrily left the house with a group of maids and servants.
Madam Mu walked a distance away, and the anger on her face faded, turning into a thoughtful expression.
"Hong Gu, what do you think?" Madam Mu asked her trusted maid beside her.
"This Madam Wei is not a greedy person. She has extraordinary conversation and generous manners, which is different from many other ladies." Hong Gu said.
Madam Mu nodded.
Her family's kindhearted and wealthy wife was always targeted by people with ulterior motives. In order to reduce trouble, she had to play the bad guy and dissuade those people from targeting the Mu family.
Everyone loves money, but this Mrs. Wei really impressed her.
"It suits my taste. Write down the name of her shop. I will mention it to my friends at tomorrow's flower viewing party, and you should also mention it to your sisters." Mrs. Mu said.
"Yes, madam. Madam Wei is so lucky to have caught your eye. With your help, her rouge shop will surely prosper!"
"My Mu family never owes anyone anything. Since she doesn't want the hundred taels, I'll give her even more!"
