159 Cooperation
When the students who were studying on loan found out that they had not received their monthly salary for three or four months, they became mentally prepared.
Although they may be dissatisfied, it is not good for them to come to you and ask you to make up three or four months' salary for them, right? If they really do this, the Marquis' Mansion does not owe them anything, and they are not descendants of the Marquis' Mansion, so it should not be difficult for you to refuse directly. "
"Oh, that's great, this method is feasible. Okay, let's do it this way? There's no need to look for a house outside. I have a house in Chenggong Lane. It's quite large and the environment is good. It's suitable for the clan school to move there." Old Madam Pei clapped her hands in joy.
"Okay, Grandmother Pei, you can handle this matter. We will take our time with everything. It's better than sitting here and sulking. Let's open the winery first. When we earn more money, our mood will naturally improve.
I have written down almost everything on this list. Take a look. If there is anything missing, we can just fill it in. Also, this rectangular piece is sweet wine koji. The rice wine made from it tastes sweeter, which is suitable for women like girls.
The square pieces are spicy wine yeast, and the rice wine made from them has a spicy taste, which is suitable for people like Mr. Pei who likes to drink and has a good alcohol tolerance.
If you really want to sell wine to Mobei, then we will make more spicy wine yeast.
We will then find a farm and do it quietly. After it is finished, we will have the caravan of the Marquisate send it directly to the north to sell.
Let's not move to Shangjing City for now, so as not to alarm others. When our winery is open and the conditions are ripe, we can make more wine. We will make sweet wine and sell it in Shangjing City. What do you think?" Hua Lei handed the list in her hand to Madam Pei.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. You've always been a successful person. It's right to listen to you." Madam Pei took the list, read it once, and handed it to Nanny Chen behind her, saying, "Yingxue, copy this list again, and put away the one written by Lei'er first.
Then he gave the list to Butler Pei and asked him to do it as soon as possible. He also had to hurry up and get the report approved by the government.
Also, I transferred the 500-acre farm in the northeastern part of the city that was my dowry to Jin'er, and opened the winery there. The place is large and has many houses. Although it is a bit remote, it is just right for doing the business quietly.
Also, tell Butler Pei not to talk about this to anyone else, and tell yourself too.
And... forget it, call housekeeper Pei over, I'll talk to him in person." Old Madam Pei looked at Nanny Chen beside her, "You are also a soft-hearted person, you can't stop talking, call your head Chen Datian over, I'll ask him to take care of the farm affairs."
"Yes, old lady." Nanny Chen went down with a smile.
Madam Pei took Hua Lei's hand and said, "Lei'er, I thank you on behalf of the Marquis' Mansion."
"Grandmother Pei, what are you talking about? My sister and I have received a lot of favors from you and the Marquis' Mansion. Besides, I get 20% of the profits, so it's not for nothing."
Madam Pei smiled and nodded. Sharing the profits with Lei'er was indeed out of her sincerity, but on the other hand, she also had her own selfish motives.
Last time I asked Jin'er to send Lei'er back, not only did there be no progress, I heard that Jin'er chatted with Xiaoyuan for a long time in Qizhuyuan, but came out with a pale face.
I am indeed a little impatient. Lei'er is still in mourning and it is not suitable for her to talk about marriage.
Then this time, I will tie Lei'er and the Marquis' Mansion together. In the future, the Marquis' Mansion will belong to Jin'er, and it should be a natural thing, right? When it comes to marrying a wife, everyone wants to marry a good one. Lei'er is beautiful, smart, and has a lot of tricks and means to do things. She is really suitable for the Marquis' Mansion and Jin'er.
As the eldest son and grandson of a marquis's family, others only see his bright and beautiful side, but they cannot see the responsibilities and pressures he has to bear as the eldest son of a marquis's family.
Looking at the grandchildren of the Marquis' Mansion, he had only met the children of the Third Brother a few times and did not know their personalities very well. Only Rong Jue of the Fourth Brother looked okay and might be able to help Jin'er in the future. It would be a blessing if the others did not hinder Jin'er.
Jin'er's situation is very similar to that of his grandfather, Lord Pei. Both were the eldest son and grandson, but their brothers were not outstanding and they had a lot of people who relied on them to raise them.
Old Marquis Pei supported the family with his hard work. Now he is almost sixty years old and still fighting on the battlefield. What is the reason for this? It is to support his brothers and children. Other people of the same age as Old Marquis Pei have almost all retired.
Jin'er's father Jingyang is much luckier than old Marquis Pei. He has brothers around him to help him. The third, fourth and fifth brothers are all working in the government offices and county yamen. Although their official positions are not high, at least they will not hold Jingyang back, and they can help each other in the future.
It's a pity that he was so confused when he married a wife that he chose Jin'er's mother, who was not only physically useless, but also mentally confused. She brought a lot of trouble to the Marquis's Mansion.
However, although Jin'er's mother was not to her liking in every way, she had brought up her children very well. Not to mention their looks, the children all looked exactly like the best of both of them, each one more beautiful and more pleasing to the eye than the other.
Especially the only eldest grandson, Jin'er, the more Mrs. Pei looked at him, the more she liked him. This time, she gave him all her dowry and farm without hesitation.
I don't want Jin'er to follow his grandfather's old path, with a poor family background and many brothers holding him back. I'll put the winery under his name first and save him some private money so that he can have more money in the future.
I also don't want Jin'er to follow his father's old path, a guy who doesn't open his eyes when looking for a wife and only looks at beauty. This will bring trouble to the family and descendants.
It would be best for Jin'er to find Lei'er. Lei'er is pretty, and their children won't be ugly. Lei'er can manage the household, make money, and do things. Then Jin'er can go out and work hard.
But if it still doesn't work then, what should I do? Can Jin'er still find a daughter-in-law like Lei'er? Mrs. Pei's mind turned a corner, and then another, more than the eighteen bends on the mountain road.
I looked at the flower bud next to her. There was not a single blemish on her rosy face. She had curved eyebrows and round eyes. She was really pretty. She was much prettier than Qingge.
What else can I do to help Jin'er marry Lei'er? Mrs. Pei's mind turned again.
Butler Pei acted quickly, and within ten days, he obtained the wine-making order of the Marquis's Mansion. Old Madam Pei's farm was also transferred to Rong Jin's name.
