Chapter 42: Xiaofu is safe, very good!

"This, is it fair?"

"Just our family, can we afford two maids?"

When Mrs. Xu listened to Mr. Xu's suggestion, her first reaction was to shake

her head.

The family has some money, but there is money to buy the two maids.

But people like them don't say the days are stumbling, but they are not very

wealthy. After all, there is Xu Lao San who is still studying and going to

school. These years, studying can spend a lot of money.

Not to mention pen, ink, paper and inkstone, it is simply the cost of rushing

to the exam, and it is an expense for the boss of ordinary people.

The old Xu family has saved some money over the years, and this time there are

fifty taels of Xu Lao San's money, but it will be long in Japan.

Even if Xu Laosan passed the exam next year, he still had to continue the exam

if he wanted to be successful.

It’s time for you to go to Beijing to rush to the exam after you pass the

exam, and the cost will be even greater.

Well, Wang's is a low-marry, with a lot of dowry silver. But that was Wang's

private house, the silver close to the body, and it was the foundation for a

woman to settle down in her husband's house.

When the old Xu’s family was most difficult, Mrs. Xu became her own jewellery

and never spent a penny in the dowry silver of three daughters-in-laws.

This is the basis for her old lady to stand in front of her daughter-in-law!

That is to say, their family is not very busy now, and in the future, the old

lady will have to write this article into the old Xu's house rules.

The daughter-in-law’s dowry money is the daughter-in-law’s own private house

and personal money. If the Xu family’s children and women are greedy for the

daughter-in-law’s dowry money, they are not worthy of being Xu’s wife.

Regardless of whether a man or a woman, they have to have a bit of spine.

This is the backbone of Mrs. Xu.

"Raising should be affordable!"

Mr. Xu smiled, "Our family is so lucky. I thought about it. When the spring

starts, I will go to the town to get a shop and sell something to eat. The

ingredients are grown by ourselves, but we hire someone to process it. , The

cost is not a lot of money, and the money earned from the cook and the hall is

ours!"

"Then we have become the home of merchants?"

Mrs. Xu was taken aback, a little embarrassed, "The third child wants to

study, if this family becomes a merchant's home..."

"Daughter-in-law, you don't know anything about this!"

Father Xu smiled, "Science, agriculture, industry, and commerce, like those

who do small businesses, such as opening a shop and walking around the

streets, are actually not businessmen."

"We are still farmers!"

"After all, the things we grow, the things we get from hunting and fishing,

are also sold. We just sell them in a different way. Don't worry, I value it

more than you!"

"If that's the case, open a shop and open a shop!"

Mrs. Xu was also relieved after listening to Mrs. Xu's explanation.

In this regard, Mr. Xu didn't care at all.

Shi, farmers, commerce and industry? As long as the third child is successful,

his family will be a scholar. Everything else has become a side branch.

Besides, the new dynasty did not place so much emphasis on the division of

scholars, farmers, industry and commerce like the previous dynasties.

On the contrary, the new dynasty also encourages commerce and trade.

I heard that there was a sea merchant who made a lot of money when he returned

from a trip to the sea.

It is a pity that the risks at sea are unpredictable. Some people have

returned from overseas, but some have lost their bones.

Mr. Xu has no big ambitions, nor does he want to glorify the lintel of the old

Xu's family. His wish is fulfilled to be able to live this small life of

wealth.

Xiaofu is safe, very good!

Thinking about it this way, Master Xu didn't have much worry anymore.

As the old saying goes, there must be a road before the mountain, and the boat

will go straight to the bridge.
