Chapter 260 Worried Xiao Cui
Although Li Meng didn't say anything, it could be seen from his dark face that turned into a deep red that this kid was also very excited.
Xiao Li will follow his master in the future, and he is the one who is closest to the saying "everyone will rise to heaven"!
In ordinary families, parents tend to love their eldest and youngest sons more. According to this calculation, he is at least the master's youngest disciple!
Li Meng, who looked much more anxious than Jiang Shangxian, was thinking to himself.
"Xiao Li, come to my place early in the morning in five days and help me prepare a few tables for the feast." Jiang Shangxian quickly told the business first. This was the first time in her two lives that she listened to the advice of a great man and did not act like a hooligan, but was going to get married directly!
Such an intense, exciting and extremely popular thing deserves to be taken seriously!
Li Meng's mind was slow to react. He scratched his head and although he didn't know why, he immediately responded, "Okay, OK. I'll go as soon as the gate opens. Don't worry, Master."
There are those who are slow-witted, and there are those who are quick-witted. For example, Zhou Ying, this kid was like a monkey, his eyes rolling around: "Master, but the master is coming to pay the tribute."
"hey-hey...."
They were all his disciples, so Jiang Shangxian didn't put on any pretense at all, and smiled with an extremely obscene and proud smile: "You are the only one with a sharp brain! Wait till you get married!"
"Master, Master, how can it be enough for my junior brother to go alone? I, I will go with you and let the senior brother stay in Lexian Building!" Zhou Ying immediately jumped out to take the spot and took the bowl away first. It was the big day for Cui Shaoqing and his master, so how could he, the little trumpet Zhou Ying, not be there?
I now have less material to brag about myself!
Wang Wan, who was a step slower, stomped his foot on the ground in anger - but it didn't attract any attention.
The complacent Jiang Shangxian didn't know that Cui Bianxu, who was working for the government and doing private work openly, was currently studying a serious problem - he found that the house he bought for Jiang Shangxian was too small.
It was really his first time getting married and he had no experience. No matter how much Cui Bianxu learned, it was impossible for him to learn everything. For example, when Cui Shuhua asked him last night, he found out that although he had prepared a dowry for Jiang Shangxian, he had not prepared anyone to accompany him!
A family like theirs usually has at least four maids as dowry, plus servants to manage the shop and farm, so there must be at least 20 to 30 people in total. He didn't prepare a shop for Jiang Shangxian. The Cui family's shop couldn't be given to Jiang Shangxian, and he hadn't found a good shop in Chang'an City yet.
As for Zhuangzi, he planned to directly transfer the one outside Chang'an City to Jiang Shangxian's name, and row the man on the other end over as well, and that would be the end of it.
Now it's the staffing for the inner courtyard. It's okay that he lives alone and is surrounded by servants and guards, but when Jiang Shangxian marries in, there will definitely be maids and servants.
But even if the Jiang family moved to a new house, the space would only be enough to store their belongings and allow their family to live in. If they squeezed in another 10 or 20 maids, it would definitely be uninhabitable.
For the first time, Cui Bianxu felt that marriage was such a difficult issue!
Early in the morning he asked Jianming to find out if there was a house for sale next to the Jiang family in Jiahuifang. If there was one, they would buy it and connect it up. This way the place would be bigger and could accommodate some maids.
Unfortunately, no one next door wanted to sell their house, which made him a little upset.
Wang Leisheng, who was secretly slacking off, followed him with his ears and eyes pricked up. He tried to hold it in but still couldn't control his mouth: "Shaoqing, what's bothering you so much?"
Aren’t they going to get engaged soon?
Logically, he should be happy, so why does he look so upset? Is he regretting something?
Tsk tsk tsk...
Man...
Miss Jiang is good in every way. She cooks delicious food, is pretty and lovely, and has a good temper. She always has a smile on her face, which makes you happy just by looking at her. She is gentle and weak, and I have never seen her lose her temper. It's just that her family background is too poor. As a man, he should marry a wife who can help him, but it's okay to take a concubine as he pleases.
Hearing his voice, Cui Bianxu was startled. He was so anxious that he forgot there was a living person sitting in the corner. He suddenly stopped spinning and took two steps to Wang Leisheng. "Do you have a vacant house in Jiahuifang?"
If there was one, he felt he could negotiate to buy it, since Wang Leisheng wouldn't live there anyway.
"Oh, Shaoqing, you think too highly of me."
Wang Leisheng had no idea that he was thinking about this, and his face wrinkled immediately: "Although my Wang family has some money, I am the only one here in Chang'an after all. My old man is afraid that I will mess around outside, so he only bought me a house. I can usually get some money from the account office, but if I want to buy a house, my wife..."
His wife will suspect that he has a mistress outside!
However, although his family did not have a house, they did have many shops, but they were all managed by his wife. He could not interfere, nor did he dare to interfere. A sixth-rank official was still an official. If a woman did some business to make a living, it could be said that she was earning some money for her cosmetics. If an official interfered, he would be competing with the people for profit.
He was born into a merchant family and was very afraid of these things, fearing even the slightest contact with them, which would cause his already stagnant career to take two steps back.
Cui Bianxu sighed heavily and pinched his head hard. It seemed that things were a bit difficult. The Cui family did have a house in Chang'an, and the place was not small, but that place was not suitable for the Jiang family to use. Otherwise, Jiang Shangxian would be in trouble when he returned to his hometown in Qinghe with him in the future.
It is not easy to get married, as you have to worry about everything. Cui Bianxu suddenly felt that it was fortunate that he could only marry one wife. If he had more than one, not only would his wallet be empty, but he would also be drained of his energy.
"I wonder why Shaoqing wants to buy a house?" As a good subordinate, when the boss encounters troubles, he still has to help give advice and think of solutions.
Cui Bianxu recounted the incident briefly, but Wang Leisheng slapped his thigh after hearing it. "Why should you worry about this, Young Master? Since the Jiang family has moved, isn't the old house empty? We can just let them squeeze in at the old Jiang house. They can go there during the day to wait for orders and return before the gate closes. After all, it's close enough, so it won't be much trouble."
"This..." Cui Bianxu was a little dissatisfied with this method. How could there be a slave running back and forth on duty every day? What was this?
Wang Leisheng saw him hesitate, thought for a moment, and then said, "The wedding date hasn't been set yet, and we haven't bought a maid yet. If Shaoqing finds this inconvenient, why not have someone keep an eye out for Jiahuifang, either renting or selling one? If that doesn't work, renting one would be fine as a start."
