Chapter 539: Exploring Spring 17
Time soon came to the wedding ceremony in Yuanchun. The masters and slaves of Jia's house agreed that this was a good time to make money, so the house was peaceful.
Tan Chun knew that this was the last prosperity of the Jia family, so seeing everyone happy, he only felt sad.
"It's really strange. The third girl has imitated the ugly girl these days. Why do you feel so sad all day long?"
Li Wan saw that Jia Huan was making rapid progress, so he came to Tanchun to learn from it.
She looked at Jia Lan like an eyeball, so as soon as she found Jia Lan coming home and boasting about Jia Huan's success, she came to ask for advice.
As a result, it turned out that Tanchun was not really happy and felt depressed every day.
"Your brother Lan is smart and not as naughty as Huan'er, so why don't I need my sister-in-law to worry too much? I see Jia Huan feeling like he's twenty years older these days."
Tanchun rubbed his face and laughed at himself.
She also found out that Jia Huan was either unintelligent or did not put his intelligence on the right path. He was jealous of Baoyu from the bottom of his heart and had no intention of changing it.
Relatively speaking, Aunt Zhao is not so determined.
Half of her badness was caused by the pressure of life, so she poured her bitterness on Jia Huan and raised an indignant son.
Because during the training to meet Yuanchun, Jia Huan always took the spotlight from Baoyu, so Mrs. Wang sent him back to rest on the grounds that the formation was not in order.
After resting for two more times, he showed up despite being sick.
Even Aunt Zhao was arranged to take care of her "sick" son and could not go out to watch the fun.
They really didn’t even show the fun to them.
Aunt Zhao and Jia Huan were huddled in the room alone. It would be strange if they didn't hate Mrs. Wang!
"Don't look like this in front of outsiders. They say it's the empress's happy day. If you don't smile, others will think you have something to say."
Li Wan held Tan Chun's hand and spoke affectionately.
But she herself has always been in the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. She never cares about other people's affairs and only lives her own life with Jialan in mind.
So as soon as she came over, Tanchun knew that something was wrong with her. After Li Wan explained the purpose of his visit, Tanchun handed Jia Huan's study schedule for these days to Li Wan and asked her to go back and study it by herself.
"Why don't you see Lang Ge'er? At this time, do you still want to study?"
Tanchun was curious, Jialan was even younger now and had only been studying for a few years. He was holding on so tightly. Aren't you afraid that Jialan would get tired of studying?
"When it comes to studying, if you don't advance, you will retreat. Lan'er has just started to study hard. I'm afraid that he will lose his temper again when he plays. Now I have reported it to my wife and I won't call him out that day."
Li Wan is just such a son. Now that the house is busy, he is afraid of bumping into his son, so he doesn't want to ask the child to go out.
"If it weren't for the tight schedule, I wouldn't want to come out. It's better for Brother Huan to continue studying. Lan'er can't leave him behind too much."
Because Baoyu did not study hard, Li Wan did not dare to talk about studying in front of outsiders. Now that Tanchun is taking care of Jia Huan's studies and it's working, he treats her as a confidant.
She looked down upon the fact that everyone in Jia's family doted on Baoyu, and she also had a problem with everyone ignoring Jia Lan's love for Baoyu.
Therefore, Jian Tanchun was in a similar situation to her, so he wanted to get close to her.
Tanchun had thought about Li Wan before. As a neutral person in the Rongguo Mansion, she and her son Jia Lan stayed away from the intrigues in the mansion and only took advantage. Their life was much better than Tanchun.
If Tanchun formed an alliance with her and "watched" from the sidelines, there would be many benefits.
"How did you come up with these ideas? It's really only for those who study and take exams."
Li Wan looked over and over the schedule Tanchun had made, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.
"If you study like this for a few years, you won't have to worry about your children wasting their time."
"Where can it be so good?"
Tan Chun was modest and finally decided to form an alliance with Li Wan.
The days ahead may be long or short. If you don't find something to do, life will be really sad.
She is not the original owner, she is interested in writing poems, admiring flowers and watching plays. Now she likes money even more.
When inspecting the Grand View Garden, Li Wan avoided it. It is convenient for her to enter and leave Jia's house. With Jia Lan here, it is also convenient for her to buy property outside.
The shortcoming of Li Wan's mother and son was that they were slow to make money.
In the Jia Mansion, Li Wan and her son were indeed more respectable than others. With the subsidies from Mrs. Jia's mother and the queen, their monthly profit was indeed quite large.
But there are not as many places to spend money as they do.
Because she is an orphan and a widowed mother, she has no serious source of income. She cannot manage the house, nor can she "make extra money" like Sister Feng.
But the servant of Jia's family is snobbish. She throws some money out at inappropriate times just to be popular, and she doesn't know how she will be arranged by others.
Therefore, Li Wan could have a reputation as a Bodhisattva and dare not offend anyone. It looked like she had a lot of money in her hand, but she didn't have enough money to spend.
Therefore, she is also famous for being stingy.
"Sister-in-law, let me tell you something, don't laugh at me. Since you think this thing is good, can you make money with it?"
"make money?"
Li Wan didn't expect Tanchun to say such things.
"Yes, making money. Now that I look at my family and spend money like water, I'm just... a little worried. Thinking about the source of my family's income, I want to make it a source of income."
"This thing is good, but it can't make money, right?"
Li Wan was also shocked by the way his family spent money. Even though she didn't read, she had heard of a few history books because of her family tradition.
Throughout history, there is no long-term luxury.
In the old days, Wang Xietang flew into the homes of ordinary people.
The story of Shi Chong and Wang Kai's struggle for wealth is well-known to every household. How could she not know the harmful effects of luxury? It's just that at this time, it's hard to say it.
"Are you confused? You are saying something like this now!"
Li Wan lowered his voice and tugged at Tanchun, telling her to stop talking.
But in my heart, I thought highly of Tanchun.
"I know. I don't dare to tell others, but I know that my sister-in-law must have such a foresight. It's not that the family doesn't know, it's just that now that the stove is hot, no one pours cold water on it."
Tanchun also lowered his voice, "I see that Sister Bao's family is doing business. Although it is not elegant, it is really rich. Now my wife is asking their family for something, so I was wondering if we can do it?"
"But if you're serious about doing business, it won't sound good if you say it out loud. So I thought, it would be better to sell some things for studying and taking the imperial examination, so that I can make money and serve the country."
"My sister-in-law has been a scholar for generations, so she should know the ropes. Let's use it to open a shop. Even if we don't make money, we won't lose money, right?"
When the time comes, she will write more love stories, or upgrade her novels, so that she can earn some self-esteem, and won't have to worry about having nothing when disaster strikes.
Li Wan really never thought about it. In her view, among scholars, peasants, and merchants, businessmen were at the bottom. If you could study for the imperial examination, how could you make money as a businessman?
But she is also really short of money.
"Then let me think about it."
Li Wan was also tempted.
"If it's done, we can open a rouge shop and use it ourselves in the future without having to pay for it."
