The Gao family father and son, the Pei family's three generations of grandparents and grandchildren, and Wu Qinglan left in a carriage.
The rest of the people in Hexi Village also dispersed.
The noisy Cui family suddenly became deserted.
But everyone knows that—
The Cui family's gate will never be deserted again.
Even many residents of Hexi Village thought after returning home: Why not grit their teeth and send their own children to start elementary school?
What if there is a Wenquxing like Xian Ge’er in the family?
In the Cui family yard.
After everyone left, Aunt Lin quickly closed the door.
Then he looked at the gift boxes that filled the whole yard and teased Chen: "Sister-in-law, put all these goodies away quickly, otherwise I will be jealous."
Chen smiled generously and said, "Let's open it together and see what's inside. I'll decide which one you like, sister-in-law, and I'll give it to you first!"
The whole family laughed when they heard this.
Everyone worked together to move the gift boxes into the main room and opened them one by one.
Then, as expected, there were exclamations of unprecedented surprise.
"Oh my god! This is... a silver-gilt longevity locket and an ivory abacus with a tortoise-shell frame!"
"Is this a pine soot ink stick? It's too expensive!"
"The brush is made of bamboo and rabbit hair, and even the brush is made of brass!"
"And there are also paperweights made of carved blue bricks!"
This... Not to mention the women of the Cui family, even the brothers Cui Boshan and Cui Zhongyuan were stunned.
They are all fine and expensive things.
Chen asked Lin to pick a few pieces.
Lin shook her head repeatedly. How could she dare to accept such a valuable thing?
Afraid of getting burned!
Old Cui looked at these valuable gifts, and memories emerged in her eyes: "When our family was rich and prosperous, we lived in Nanyang County and used these fine items."
This time, she was not recalling the past in pain, but was smiling and expressing her feelings.
Life's ups and downs are really sad.
Never thought.
Cui Xian smiled and continued, "Grandma, back then we could live in Nanyang County. Now... we can live there, too."
Old Cui was startled.
The rest of the Cui family members also looked at Xian Ge'er.
Cui Xian smiled and said, "Now that we have money, my grandson is going to study at Pei's clan school, so we naturally have to make some plans for the family."
"I earned thirty taels of silver as a basic royalty for my storybook. It is now selling well in Nanyang County. Pei Jian said that it should be no problem to share five taels of silver per month in the future."
hiss!
Five taels per month? This is not a storybook, this is a "treasure pot"!
Seeing the family's eyes widened.
Cui Xian continued, "The storybooks are selling well. I'm thinking, let's move to Nanyang and open a shop to do the Mahora business."
"My brother and I went to Pei's clan school to study."
"Dad and uncle have been studying alone at home for many years, which is not a good idea. When we get to the county town, we can go to the county school for further study."
"With the teacher's guidance and their willingness to learn, they will surely make rapid progress and be ranked first in the list!"
"Grandma, you don't have to cry every day, and you even locked my father and uncle in the cowshed."
Hearing this, Cui Boshan and Cui Zhongyuan's eyes lit up.
Old Cui said hesitantly, "Brother Xian, so you already know that I locked your father and uncle in the cowshed? I wanted to keep it a secret from you."
"As for what you said about moving to Nanyang and doing business... I'll let Grandma think about it."
"We have never done business before, so we don't know the ropes. And if we go to Nanyang, we have to rent a house, find a shop, and hire employees. We have to worry about all that."
The rest of the Cui family nodded repeatedly.
Cui Xuan and Cui Yu, brother and sister, looked at each other with smiles in their eyes.
Because these things, which seemed extremely difficult to old Mrs. Cui, have already been solved by my younger brother!
really.
Cui Xian smiled and said, "Grandma, these are all trivial matters. My elder brother Pei Jian has already helped with the house rental. Let's just go over there."
"As for renting a shop and doing business, my other elder brother Zhuang Jin will take care of it. Oh yes, he is the son of Nanyang's richest man."
"I have another elder brother who will take care of the firing of Mahora. He is the son of craftsman Li."
"As for safety issues, Gao Qi is responsible."
"Look, this is 40 taels of silver. It's the share capital Pei Jian and Gao Qi gave to them before they left. If nothing goes wrong, when we get to Nanyang, Zhuang Jin and Li Heyu will each give another 20 taels as shares."
"Eighty taels of silver is enough for us to open a shop!"
After hearing this, the whole family was dumbfounded.
In less than three months since arriving in Nanyang, Xian Ge'er has recognized so many powerful "big brothers"?
Old Cui thought excitedly, if that’s the case, there doesn’t seem to be any worries about moving to Nanyang!
Cui Xian held forty taels of silver in his hand and smiled brightly: "When I left home, I promised my grandmother that I would make a name for myself and bring honor to the Cui family."
"Today, my grandson has come to fulfill his promise."
"We have no shortage of money, prestige, connections, and social status now. We can go to a small county town like Nanyang!"
"After arriving in Nanyang, I, my brother, father, and uncle can concentrate on studying for the imperial examinations."
"Grandma, mother, aunt, and elder sister take care of the family business."
"Let's work together to restore the former glory of the Cui family. In the future, when outsiders mention the Cui family, they will inevitably give a thumbs up and praise it: Nanyang Cui family."
What a great Nanyang Cui family!
Old Cui was trembling all over when she heard this, and was fascinated: "Great! Great! Listen to Brother Xian, let's move into this house!"
The rest of the Cui family members were even more inspired by Xiang'er's words, and their blood boiled and their eyes were filled with excitement.
Just at this moment.
Chen suddenly covered her stomach and cried out "ouch".
