Song Sanniang's Journey to Wealth

Chapter 139 Uncle and Nephew of the He Family

After Song Sanniang left, Miss He asked Xia He to call her uncle over. When Mr. He San heard that Song Sanniang had given him a gift, he raised his eyebrows with interest, and then followed Xia He to Miss He's yard.

"Uncle, the gift on the table is yours. Open it and see what's inside." Miss He said when she saw Mr. He San coming.

Master He San then casually opened the three boxes on the table, which contained a fan, a purple bamboo flute, and a ring.

He was a little surprised, "Why did that girl send these things to me?"

Miss He found it interesting and came forward to take a look. "Ha, uncle, you don't even know how to play the bamboo flute, so why did Sanniang give you a bamboo flute? But this fan is pretty nice."

Master He San automatically ignored the fact that his niece said that he couldn't play the bamboo flute. He felt something was wrong when he took the bamboo flute in his hand. Although the bamboo flute was a normal bamboo flute and the purple bamboo used was polished and smooth,

He played with it for a while, then suddenly grasped one end of the bamboo flute with force and carefully pulled it out. What he pulled out turned out to be a dagger.

Master He San took the dagger in his hand, looked at it, and determined that if the dagger stabbed someone, that person would definitely suffer a bad fate.

Then he picked up the ring and looked at it carefully, and found the silver needle of the ring.

Finally, he came to the fan. This fan was not a paper fan, but a satin fan with a landscape painting on it. The freehand landscape had a lofty artistic conception. He looked at it carefully and found the mechanism.

He asked Miss He to stand aside, then he pointed the fan at the ground and pressed the button. Whoosh whoosh whoosh, several silver needles flew out of the fan and nailed firmly to the carpet.

Miss He gasped when she saw this. Master He San was also a little surprised. He picked up the silver needle and

Miss He suddenly remembered and said, "This silver needle can be put back. My bracelet is the same. And Sanniang said that the silver needle can be poisoned."

Upon hearing this, Master He San couldn't help but sigh, "This girl is really cruel."

Then he told Miss He, "When you arrive in Kyoto, you may be in danger at any time. Wear the gift that the girl gave you when you go out.

Also, give me the things that girl gave you, and I will make you another batch, and you can take turns wearing them."

Miss He really wanted to roll her eyes like an unlady when she heard this. Her uncle even said that Sanniang was cruel, and he even made a batch of hidden weapon jewelry for her. How could he be considered a kind person?

But she still nodded obediently and handed him her jewelry.

Master He San took it and tried it out. After watching it, he couldn't help but admire Song Sanniang a little.

Being able to come up with these things, if she were a man and sought an official position in the Ministry of War, she would definitely have made some achievements by making bows and crossbows for the Ministry of War.

He suddenly asked, "Why did that girl suddenly think of sending these to us? Did she encounter any dangerous situation?"

Miss He shook her head. "That's not the case. It was my cousin. My uncle got anxious and attacked Ren Ge'er and the others. Now that woman has taken the blame and she has been arrested.

But my uncle is still fine, so Sanniang made these for my cousins ​​to protect themselves, and then she made them for us as well. "

Master He San frowned upon hearing this. "He's just a clown. How can your uncle and his family tolerate him jumping around so hard?"

Miss He sighed, "Grandfather is confused, and I guess he has his hand in this."

Master He San sneered, "For a shameless woman, he even killed his own grandchildren. Why didn't you tell me whether we should take action?"

Miss He shook her head again. "No need. I just received a letter from my cousin and her friends. My uncle and his friends want to arrest my grandfather and my half-uncle and his friends. We can't alert them."

Master He San nodded and said, "If the problem is difficult, come to us for help." After that, he picked up all his things and returned to his yard in high spirits.

After returning to the capital, Song Laoer and his friends quickly returned to their previous lives. The happiest ones were Si Niang and her two sisters, who returned from their visit to their grandparents' home with gifts brought back by their elder sister.

The rice bowls and water cups were very interesting in animal shapes. They even drank a few extra cups of water every day.

Just like that, a week passed quickly. Qin Yuanyuan had completely adapted to the life in Tianmi Mi and also knew how the Tianmi Mi store operated.

Song Lao Er went back to the county to check on the progress of the renovation. He estimated that the shop in the county would be finished in another week.

He went back and told Song Sanniang about it, and the two began to discuss who from the store would go there at that time.

Song Sanniang thought that Qin Haodong was the best candidate, but she also felt that it would be a bit bad to separate the brothers and sisters who had just reunited.

Song Lao Er laughed and said, "You are usually very smart, how come you are so confused now? You can ask all three of them to go to the store. They are all from the county town."

Song Sanniang also felt that she was confused. "Maybe I am used to Sister Yuanyuan being around and I don't want her to leave."

Song Lao Er nodded. It was true that Song Sanniang didn't have many sisters. It was only after she started her business that she had more girls around her.

He touched Song Sanniang's head and said, "What's the big deal? Dong Ge and his sister can do it. Let them open the store in the county first.

When everything goes well in the store, we will bring them back. Our new house in the village will also be built. When the time comes, let your uncle take care of the store and give him a share of the profits.

Aren't you going to open shops all over Chen State? Everyone will be sent out for training in the future, so you have to be mentally prepared."

It was rare that Song Lao Er thought so thoroughly. Song Sanniang felt that everything would change when she thought that everyone in the store would be sent out. She didn't think about it any more and decided to take the first step of opening a branch store.

So, in addition to Qin Haodong and his two siblings, Cuihua and Song Ming were also transferred to the county town. Cuihua's three children were all in the village, so she could go home to see them at any time.

Then Song Dazhuang's work on building the house should be completed, so he can be invited to come as well, so that all three of the family can be together.

Uncle Song was made the second shopkeeper, and he was asked to run the store together with Qin Haodong. When everything was on track, Uncle Song would be made the head shopkeeper, and Qin Haodong and the others would come back, and then they would go to other places to open branches.

Although the county town may not have as many people as the provincial capital, and the store only has one floor, Cuihua's family should be too busy to handle it.

Song Sanniang planned to invite Gancao and Niu Laoda and his wife. Gancao and Cuihua would be in the kitchen, Niu Laoda would do odd jobs, and Song Dazhuang and his son would be the waiters. If business was good, Uncle Song and Qin Haodong could take over.

So after discussing it, we waited for the next trip back to the county town to get things done together.

Busy times always pass quickly. It was time for Song Laoer and his daughter to return to the county town, so they boarded the boat back to the county town.

The first thing I did when I got back to the county was to go back to the store to check. The store had changed a lot. The original three-bay storefront had become a single-bay storefront.

The left side of the gate is a dining area with glass windows for viewing, and the right side is a counter and display cabinet for sweets and condiments, just like the ones in Fucheng.

When you enter the store, you will find that the seats against the wall are made of wooden boards because there are no tables, chairs or benches.

The store looked empty. The floor was not replaced like in the city. The original floor tiles of this store were wear-resistant bluestone tiles.

When the two arrived, Xu Shui and one of the uncles, Wang Quanan, were cleaning and doing the final finishing work.

Seeing the two people coming in, Xu Shui smiled and shouted, "You came at the right time. The store is ready. I just finished cleaning for you today."

Song Lao Er stepped forward and said gratefully, "Thank you for your hard work during this period. I won't say much else. Let's drink together in the evening with the brothers. When the store opens, you must come and have a seat."

Xu Shui didn't hesitate, and then the three of them walked around the store, talked about the decoration, chatted for a while, agreed on the time and place for dinner in the evening, and then left.
