Chapter 429 Market Opening

   "A book is less than a few taels of silver, and how many books are a bookstore, wouldn't it be hundreds of taels of silver for a hundred copies?"

"My dear, I have never seen so much silver in my whole life." Kong was stunned, let alone a few hundred taels, she had only seen ten taels of silver at most, but never seen a banknote. .

  Sun, the second room next door, and Yun, the third daughter-in-law who came here together this time, were also shocked when they heard these words.

  Especially Yun’s, she had seen hundreds of taels of silver bills before when her natal family was still in ruins, so she knew how much it would cost to open a bookstore, not to mention five or sixty taels at least for a shop in the town.

   Even those books cost more than three hundred taels.

  So much silver.

  Even when her natal family was at its most prosperous, the family's savings were only more than two hundred taels.

  So that later, when she took the family's twenty taels of dowry and married into the second room of the Chu family, she had the highest status among the three sisters-in-law.

  Facts have proved that her choice was correct in the end, at least, someone from the Chu family is about to come forward.

  As long as Chu Heng keeps taking the exams and passes the Jinshi exam, the entire Chu family can follow suit.

  Happiness flashed in her eyes, and even the unwillingness to hide in the depths of her heart in the past dissipated, followed by plans for the future.

   "Fourth Aunt, what you said is true, but the more promising Brother Heng is, the more we will have face." Yun said with a slight smile, admiring Chu Heng inside and out.

   Mrs. Sun looked at the third daughter-in-law in surprise, but she had never seen her say such a compliment before.

  However, thinking that the family is indeed, because of Chu Heng's name as a scholar, she has not been bullied in these years, so she naturally appreciates this nephew, but she has no idea of ​​taking advantage of her.

   You have to live at home to get by, and relying on others, you can't live for a long time.

  Mr. Kong was a little surprised when he heard the words: "Daughter-in-law Shanlin, your natal family lived well before, but do you know how much it costs to open a bookstore? I'm afraid it's a lot?"

  Kong asked this on purpose, with a hint of showing off in his voice.

  Mr. Yun gave her a surprised look.

  I've always known that my fourth aunt has a bad mouth, a typical country woman, seeing her just now was also in a mood of envy and jealousy, right? Now it's her turn to show off?

  Yun didn't like this person's temper, but he wouldn't embarrass his elders in front of the Chu family.

   It really broke out, it was her fault, she was not so stupid.

  Hearing the words, he said with a slight smile: "Fourth aunt, you are asking the wrong person. My natal family is a tea seller. I don't know how to read. Those who know bookstores are probably from rich families."

   One sentence did not belittle her mother's family, but it also praised Chu Heng.

  Ms. Kong felt better, so she stopped holding her and went to talk to other people. After all, she was just a country woman. Although her mouth was broken, she didn't have bad intentions.

  Ye Muyu watched three rounds of tea being served.

  It was getting late, Chu Heng simply arranged for Lu Chuan to go to the county in advance, first go to the bookstore to pull all the books into the bookstore, and get ready for the wedding cannon and red cloth.

   Otherwise, when they go, I am afraid that the auspicious time will be delayed.

   "Uncles and aunts, I will go to the Piaoxiang Building in the county to have lunch in a while, and it is almost auspicious time, let's go to the county together to see the shops open." Chu Heng said.

  The relatives in the house all congratulated.

   "Ah Heng, then you go first, we will come later." Qian said with a smile.

   "Yes." Chu Heng nodded.
