Chapter 196 How to make money in winter?
"What fish symbol?" Zhou Shijia looked puzzled.
In fact, he is a little scared at this moment.
The followers around him had also released the hands that were restraining Yun Ting.
Yun Ting picked up the fish talisman from the ground and read it out: "Hanlin Academy, Zhou Xiaoyao, okay, okay, good boy, just wait for me, I'm going to complain!"
"How come his fish talisman is on me?" Zhou Shijia asked the people around him in shock.
"His fish token? Good boy, you dare to steal the fish token and pretend to be an official appointed by the court?" Yun Ting stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Shijia's collar, "Come on, follow me to Shuntian Prefecture!"
The scene was suddenly in chaos.
Although the owner of the chicken shop often saw playboys fighting, this was the first time he had seen such a situation.
When he tried to persuade her, Yun Ting started to make a fuss, and Zhou Shijia became confused and irritated.
In short, it was a complete mess.
At the same time, the Fifth Young Master had already gone to Shuntian Prefecture to report that his fish token had been stolen.
And what happened next was just as expected.
The eldest lady had no choice but to give in.
The fifth young master was successfully adopted into the fourth house of the Zhou family.
At first, Lu Qiniang was worried and asked Xiao Yan, "If this gets to the emperor's ears, he'll know that Yun Ting is playing tricks and helping the Fifth Young Master!"
Xiao Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry, the Emperor may not be in the mood to take care of these trivial matters. And even if it really gets to his ears, do you think he will help the Madam? No."
The emperor also has his own sense of right and wrong, but he is bound by etiquette and cannot speak of it.
But it is still possible to turn a blind eye.
Only then did Lu Qiniang feel relieved.
The most proud one should be Yun Ting.
He told his great achievements over and over again at home, to the point that even Ah Huang had to cover his ears when he saw him come in.
Every time Lu Qiniang heard him say, "One tael of silver became six taels," she couldn't help but persuade him not to go to that kind of place again.
"I know." Yun Ting said, "I'm just wondering how to spend six taels of silver!"
What a huge sum of money!
In a dozen days, it will be the first day of the winter month, the birthdays of Daya and Erya.
Yun Ting wanted Erya to ask him for a gift.
Because Erya and Lu Qiniang wanted it.
But Erya acted as if she didn't hear it and didn't even raise her eyelids.
Frustrated, Yun Ting could only ask himself, "Zhuozhuo, what do you want for your birthday?"
"I want you to shut up."
Yun Ting: "... You're such a good fool! I was thinking of buying something for you..."
Lu Qiniang sighed, "It's already winter so soon!"
As winter approaches, the canal freezes over and business at the docks essentially comes to a halt.
Their business will probably be suspended for three or four months and will resume around March next year.
Even the warehouse will be idle for several months, and at least until now, no customer has come to rent it.
It was truly four months of living off the savings.
Time flies after the Lunar New Year. Daya is getting married at the end of the year. Can she afford her dowry? Will her in-laws despise her for being so shabby?
Lu Qiniang was already starting to worry at this moment.
It would be great if I could find a way to get rich even in winter.
What she was thinking now was, if that didn't work, she could still go and chisel ice.
But she can't save any money this way, at most she can only earn enough for daily necessities, and her family will definitely not agree with her going.
Xiao Yan knew Lu Qinniang's worries and comforted her, "When you reach the mountain, there will always be a way. In winter, with all the ice and snow, even the birds and animals don't come out. It's really not suitable for making money. We will make money by the beginning of next spring."
He told Lu Qiniang that after the ice froze, he planned to take Daya with him to the canal to measure the length and width, and then plan the mooring of the boats.
If we can accomplish this, there will be new income next year, and it should be quite a lot.
"How can this be calculated?" Lu Qiniang seemed to have discovered a new world.
"I can figure it out. I've learned arithmetic." Xiao Yan liked to see her staring at him with sparkling eyes and admiration.
At this time, he will feel proud.
"Xiao Yan, you said you're good at fighting, writing, and arithmetic! No, what can't you do? Tell me one, let me hear it, it will make me feel better."
Those who are compared to him are ashamed to live.
"Maybe getting married won't work." Xiao Yan said, "I'm already old."
"What age? You're twenty-five, not fifty-two." Lu Qiniang said, "It's a good time, it's a good time. No, are you and Miss Jiang really not together anymore?"
"No." Xiao Yan's face turned cold.
Lu Qiniang immediately knew that she had said the wrong thing, "Oh, don't mention it, I won't mention it again."
However, her next words made Xiao Yan instantly happy again.
She said, "Actually, I think the Fifth Young Master and Miss Jiang are quite suitable. But I can't say this."
Xiao Yan: "Hearing you say that, I also think that they are made for each other."
"You think so too!" Lu Qiniang laughed, "I thought I was just imagining things! I think Miss Jiang is pretty and has a straightforward personality. She's just a little older, but for the Fifth Young Master, she's not much different. Miss Jiang can find someone to marry into the family..."
"She has a younger brother." Xiao Yan said.
"If Miss Jiang doesn't marry into the Fifth Young Master's family, then the First Lady won't dare to bully Miss Jiang."
Even Princess Zhaoyang had to give in a little when she met Jiang Yi!
There is no way. Her father and brother used their lives to pave a way for her. Anyone who dares to mess with Jiang Yi will be punished by heaven.
"Even I know it's hard to bring this up. Especially since the Fifth Young Master seems a bit too high to marry Miss Jiang. I hope these two will have a chance in the future..."
They won’t get involved, Lu Qiniang thought.
Xiao Yan brought the topic back on track after it had strayed off to Java Island.
"We'll need some help to maintain order. It won't take just one or two people," he said. "We need capable people with a bit of a bandit streak, like Liu Xing. Otherwise, we won't be able to keep order."
"Then you see, can I do it?" Lu Qiniang asked.
Xiao Yan was amused by her and praised her, "A fierce general."
Lu Qiniang was very grateful for this compliment.
"This is what I dreamed about tonight," she said happily.
"I've already asked Jiang Xuan to make the axe you wanted. The craftsmen haven't made this before, so it will take some time to figure it out, so it might be a little late."
Xiao Yan originally wanted to give Lu Qiniang a surprise after he got it.
But things are different now.
Jiang Xuan became Lu Qiniang's son-in-law.
The son-in-law tried his best to please his mother-in-law.
Xiao Yan has begun to be wary of Jiang Xuan and take the credit for himself.
These two men once fought side by side, supported each other in the bloody storm, and never doubted each other.
But now, everyone has their own ulterior motives.
Lu Qiniang said excitedly: "Then I have to practice martial arts well recently. But Xiao Yan, I don't know how to do it. I can't even take it. How embarrassing!"
"It's okay. After I get it, it'll be just the two of us. I'll teach you step by step."
Xiao Yan was looking forward to that kind of scene.
"That's great!" Lu Qiniang said excitedly.
"I thought, in these four months, I taught you kung fu and how to read..."
"You also need to learn arithmetic." Lu Qiniang said.
"good."
What's so difficult about this?
Even if she asked for me, I would never be vague.
But when will she speak?
