第321章 两个上进的兄长

待众人走后,静姝又忍不住埋怨了李陵一通,直到紫云进来回说药铺上的事,静姝才揭过这茬。

静姝的药铺开业已经有两三个月了,因为刚开业,在市场上没有什么影响力,所以生意一直寡淡。

紫云对着静姝回道:“方才药铺上的徐掌柜过来说,这半个月铺上不但没有营额反而亏空了二百多两银子,现下入冬天寒,又有不少患上了伤寒的百姓过来赊账抓药,徐掌柜的说,照这样下去,这个月铁定又要赔银子。”

今年冬季来得早,天又出奇的寒,市井百姓感染伤寒者无数。

静姝听了紫云的话,回道:“你且再去咱们小库房从账上拨一千两银子给药铺那边,并告诉徐掌柜,若有患风寒无钱医治者,咱们药铺免费看诊,并且抓药只需付成本价,若是连成本价也付不起的穷苦人,则是免费给他们照常开药就是。”

紫云一听这话,惊得目瞪口呆:“夫人,现下咱们已经是光赔不赚,若是在这般做,岂不是连家底都要赔光了。”

静姝耐着性子与紫云解释道:“咱们做药铺生意,最重要的就是得民心,眼下京中有声誉的几家药铺早已深入人心,咱们刚开始做,也要趁机拢住人心才是,眼下看着虽是亏些,但日子久了,老百姓认可了咱们的药材,到那时买卖也就做起来了。”

万事开头难,做买卖哪能说赚钱就能赚的,药铺刚开始做起来,积累好声誉人气才是主要。

紫云领命下去后,李陵整暇的看着静姝道:“倒是没成想你这刚坐上买卖,还挺有门道的。”

静姝笑着回道:“万事万物皆是融会贯通的道理,我初掌家那会儿不也是先要拢住人心,然后才逐渐改革立规矩吗?这个做生意亦是这个道理,待先立住了脚,将来不愁没钱赚。”

李陵不得不承认,现下这小妻子是越来越精明能干了,有时候连他也不得不佩服起来。

二人正在这里闲话,通传婆子入内,说是老夫人命人响午在安僖堂宴厅摆了饭,要一家子聚聚。

如今长公主与镇国公两个和好如初,三个孙子又都成家立业,老夫人心下安慰,往年一入冬就要身子不爽,今年却是硬朗精神的很,人也爱热闹起来,隔三差五的便招呼着儿孙们相聚一处。

下半晌,静姝李陵来到安僖堂,一家子已经基本到齐了,只有一向爱迟的三姑娘和当值的李翔还没有赶到。

老夫人瞧着平阳气色好了起来,却依旧忍不住嘱咐了一气,平阳虽出身高贵,但却没有丝毫骄矜之态,面对老夫人絮絮叨叨的念叨,她没有一丝不耐烦,笑着一一答应着。

老夫人对自己的这三个孙媳妇都很满意,每每见到几人,心情都是极好。

一会儿功夫,李翔和三姑娘也前后脚进了宴厅,三姑娘自从周瑾被问罪流放,心情便是一直不舒,进了宴厅便是闷闷的在静姝身旁坐了下来。

待李翔挨着平阳坐定,老夫人又忍不住叮嘱了小孙子一通,平阳笑着对老夫人回道:“祖母且放心就是,夫君一向细心,将我照料得更是无微不至。”

老夫人见小两口夫妇恩爱,自然心中安慰。

以前镇国公极少关注世事,自从与长公主和好如初后,他也有了心情关注起子侄的仕途来。

镇国公看向李显,先是赞扬鼓励了一番:“我听闻子都现下在工部的差事做得甚好,今年做了好多利国利民的工程,在朝中是有口皆碑,连圣上都知晓了此事。”

李显谦虚道:“叔父谬赞了,我不过是一心干好本职的差事罢了。”

镇国公欣慰道:“如今子都这性子倒是磨练出来了,与以前想比,愈加沉稳内敛了。”

说着,镇国公又看向李陵,开口问道:“圣上秋日检阅巡城司后,龙颜大悦,听闻年底还要觐你的职?”

李陵回道:“前阵子觐见圣上,确实与我透漏了此事,只是被我回绝了。”

众人一听这话,目光皆是疑惑的聚在李陵身上。

李陵解释道:“如今朝中党争愈演愈烈,此时太过出头,倒也未必是好事。”

李陵沉稳果决,镇国公对这个长子一向放心,闻言点了点头,倒也没说什么。

李陵接着道:“我虽然婉拒了这次晋升,却是向宫里递了为姝儿册封诰命的折子,昨日已经批下来了。”

前几年八公主被“金翅奴”啄瞎了一目,静姝便被褫夺了诰命,如今过去了这几年,也该是重新为妻子请封的时候了。

女眷们听闻这喜讯,纷纷举杯向静姝道贺,李陵还未向静姝透露这事呢,静姝也是刚听说,她掩在桌下的素手悄悄握住丈夫的大手,面上却是波澜不惊的与众人寒暄。

李陵面上虽冷,但家里人都知他是个爱重妻子的,镇国公见儿子这般倒也见怪不怪,又看向小儿子李翔道:“翔哥现下倒是也出息了。”

李翔可比不得两个哥哥,他一直都是不争不抢的性子,从小已习惯了笼罩在两个出色兄长的光环下,现在虽已成年,但在仕途上也是一贯平常,不过是仗着家里的关系在内廷做个不上不下的中郎将而已,差事上并没有什么值得称道的地方。

骤然听父亲这般夸赞,李翔眉头微蹙,疑惑的看向父亲。

镇国公瞥着小儿子一脸懵懂的模样,开口道:“你不是就要被提升为左衣指挥使了吗?怎的?还瞒着我们不成?”

长辈们一向习惯了李显和李陵的优秀,骤然听闻这个一向默默无闻的李翔居然也得以升职,皆是露出讶色。

“翔哥儿真是出息了。”老夫人听了这消息,脸上笑成了一朵花,直直的看着小孙子欣慰道。

“三弟成婚当了爹真是长大了,知道上进了。”

“真想不到三哥也有当官的一天,我真想看看他是怎么管别人的。”

“三弟不错,好好干!”

在家人七嘴八舌中,李翔尴尬的笑笑,侧头看向了一旁的平阳。

Rebirth of the High-Mansion Matriarch

重生之高门主母
Author:

The heir of the Duke of Zhenguo, Li Ling, is a remarkably talented and brave young man. His delicate wife, Shen, feels stifled living with him. After five years of marriage, she is completely submissive to him, but he shows her no warmth at all. If it were only because of his cold nature, she could accept it. However, when the Xiongnu invade and the ninth princess is forced into a marriage alliance, Li Ling unexpectedly becomes infuriated and requests a military expedition on behalf of his cousin, the princess. She finally understands the reason for his cold treatment toward her. Angered, she decides she no longer wants to stay with him and prepares a divorce letter, just waiting for Li Ling to return and sign it. To her surprise, after one night's sleep, she finds herself back in the early days of her marriage to Li Ling... Li Ling has married a dutiful little wife who is completely submissive to him. During their first month of marriage, she takes care of him comfortably. Recently, however, Li Ling notices something strange about her. In the mornings, she no longer helps him get dressed; during meals, she doesn't serve him dishes or soup anymore; at night, whenever he approaches her, she turns away. The stern and aloof Li Ling can no longer hold back. He moves closer and asks, "Madam, are you feeling unwell?" She merely gives him a dismissive glance. Li Ling scratches his head and says, "Are you perhaps not quite accustomed to life in the residence?" She lowers her head and remains silent. Unable to endure this, Li Ling keeps a close watch on her every move, hoping to understand her heart. One day, while watching a polo match, he sees her giggle as she covers her face while looking at a certain man on the field; another day, he finds her resting her chin on her hand, dazed while reading a talented poet's work; and on another occasion at a palace banquet, he even sees the crown prince give her a faint smile... Li Ling’s heart grows more and more chaotic each day.
