After becoming a widow, I became the mother of seven children

Yan Qingqing was happy to see that Yuan Huiniang was so interested in Li Xiangan's marriage.

So he smiled and said: "In this case, I leave this matter to you.

Mom doesn't have any requirements for family background, but the girl must have a good character and your second brother must like her. "

Yan Qingqing's request may not seem high, but it's actually not easy to handle. Who knows what kind of girl Li Xiangan likes.

Thinking of this, Yuan Huiniang looked at Li Xiangan and asked, "Second brother, what kind of girl do you like? My sister-in-law can find her for you."

Before Yuan Huiniang finished speaking, Li Xiangan's face turned red.

Then he stood up and said calmly: "Sister-in-law, I have no plans to get married yet. Let's talk about this later."

After saying that, he quickly walked out of Yan Qingqing's room, leaving a room full of people looking at each other.

Yan Qingqing did not expect that Li Xiangan was so vigorous and resolute in business and was so new to this aspect.

This is an obvious shortcoming, and this is not okay.

Besides, they haven't finished discussing the matter yet.

Li Yueniang said with a smile: "Is the second brother so cowardly? What is there to be ashamed of? When will he be able to marry the second sister-in-law home?"

Yan Qingqing glared at Li Yueniang and said: "That's your second brother. How can you talk like a kid? You don't know how to be shy. It's a pity that you are a girl."

After hearing this, Li Yueniang smiled and walked up to Yan Qingqing and said, "What's wrong with the girl? Mother still loves me."

Yan Qingqing didn't know what kind of character Li Yueniang was, but she was very thick-skinned anyway.

She likes this kind of girl, but others may not like her.

But it's too early to say this now, their family's business is still important right now.

Yan Qingqing thought for a while and then said: "We are developing the market, not only for the food processing workshop and the chemical washing workshop, but also for the embroidery workshop and our cooked food shop.

Therefore, the second child alone cannot do it, and Yueniang may also have to go out. "

Upon hearing this, Li Yueniang said happily: "Really, Mom, I can go out too, this is great.

I have always wanted to go out and experience a lot, but unfortunately I have never been out to Chengyang County in Dalian. "

After hearing this, Yuan Huiniang said with envy: "Second sister, don't talk about you. I haven't been out either. Now that you say that, I want to go out and have a look."

Yan Qingqing waved her hand to signal them to quiet down, and then said: "You all have a chance to go out, but we can't miss the manpower now.

This is what I think. Let your third uncle temporarily take care of the food processing factory, and there are still a few good managers in the factory, so it shouldn't be a problem.

There is your third aunt in the embroidery workshop, and Hui Niang can take care of her from time to time, so Yue Niang can go out.

At the delicatessen shop, Wang Dong and Xiang Bao need to send someone to go with them.

I will discuss it later with the two of them to see who is more suitable. "

Yan Qingqing was really worried when Li Xiangan went out to explore the market by himself.

If they go out together and encounter something, they can still discuss it.

Everyone didn't have any objections after hearing Yan Qingqing's words.

So the matter was tentatively settled, but they still needed to think about how to implement these plans. Yan Qingqing saw that it was getting late and let them all disperse.

Early the next morning, Yan Qingqing asked Ruyi to take someone to take stock of her private treasury.

Especially those gold and silver notes, they should be taken out separately after counting.

In addition, if there is anything that is not needed and can be easily sold, sort it out together.

Hearing this, Ruyi said with tears in her eyes: "Madam, is our family already in such difficulty?

The slave also has some gold and silver jewelry that the madam rewarded. The slave should take them out and sell them with the madam.

From now on, the slave will not need monthly money. The lady only needs to take care of the slave's food. "

Yan Qingqing looked at Ruyi in surprise after hearing this. What kind of thinking does this girl have? Although she donated all her family's money, the workshops in all parties are now running normally, so they won't be depriving her of a maid's monthly silver. .

If it really comes to that point, then what kind of servants will their family have?

Yan Qingqing deliberately teased Ruyi and said: "Since Ruyi is so interested, I will sell you too, and I can get a few more taels of silver."

Ruyi burst into tears immediately after hearing this. She didn't want to leave Madam, but now that the family was encountering difficulties, selling her was indeed better than staying at home.

But she didn't want to leave Madam. Madam was so kind to her and trusted her so much.

The other maids and women working in the yard stretched their heads when they heard the crying, wondering where Ruyi had offended Yan Qingqing and why she was crying so sadly.

Yan Qingqing touched her nose and felt that she was just looking for trouble. She was just free, so why did she want to tease this little girl.

So he quickly pulled Ruyi up from the ground and coaxed in a low voice: "Okay, don't cry, I'm kidding you.

Madam, I am used to your service. Even if I sell you, no one can sell you to you.

Besides, our family hasn’t reached the stage of throwing everything at the table. "

Ruyi stopped crying when she heard this, and then asked uncertainly: "Really, then why is madam taking inventory of the things in the warehouse?"

Yan Qingqing sighed and said: "I just want to get rid of the things I don't need. Putting them in the warehouse will take up space."

Ruyi sobbed and asked, "Then our family is not short of money?"

Yan Qingqing smiled and said: "Of course there is a shortage, but I still don't have to worry about food and clothing.

I want your second young master to go to Fucheng and the capital to expand your business. You must have start-up capital. "

Ruyi stopped sobbing after hearing this.

She only knew that Madam held a meeting with several young masters and ladies last night. As for the content of Madam's meeting, she really didn't know.

However, Ruyi knew that her family had no worries about food and drink, and Yan Qingqing would not sell her, so that was enough, so she happily went to take stock of the warehouse.

Yan Qingqing has accumulated a lot of private money in the past two years, a total of seventy or eighty thousand taels.

In addition, those things that are not needed and occupy a lot of space can be sold for two to thirty thousand taels, so it is not a problem to make up one hundred thousand taels.

In addition, the profits of various workshops and shops after the year will also be 70,000 to 80,000 taels.

But Yan Qingqing couldn't take away all the money, he had to leave some for the normal operation of the workshop.

Therefore, the total funds that Yan Qingqing can use now are about 150,000 taels.

This money is enough to build a workshop and buy a shop for the time being.

However, the news of Yan Qingqing's sale of his property was spread to unknown persons.

For a while, the people were talking a lot. They all explained that the Zhaoshuo people had donated all their belongings to support the border areas for disaster relief, and now they could only rely on pawns to survive.

Others explain that Zhaoshuo people even sold their own maids in order to supplement their family income.

It is really a blessing for the common people of the Yan Dynasty to have such a man who serves the country and the people.

In gratitude for Yan Qingqing's kindness, some people would quietly leave some eggs, vegetables and rice at the door of Li's house.

There are also some wealthy businessmen who also want to give Yan Qingqing money privately.

Yan Qingqing was extremely surprised when she found out. Was this a big misunderstanding?
