Chapter 953: It's just a matter of sending a post
Chunjiang stood under the porch, watching the rough mother-in-law move in a pot of chrysanthemums that bloomed just right, Chunshou looked out through the window lattice, and after a while, he couldn't help but turn his head and follow Li Qianqian, who was sitting in front of the long case and was looking at the new pattern sent by Xiangcheng Tianbaocheng, said, "Sect Master, these chrysanthemums sent in today are really beautiful!"
Li Qian nodded without raising his head, "It's good to be pretty." "These flowers cost her a lot of money, and they are naturally beautiful.
"Sect Master, why don't you let those people in our Zhuangzi send chrysanthemums over, but instead buy them from the flower sellers?"
"There are no florists in Zhuangzi, and although they also plant a lot of chrysanthemums to suit the occasion, if you really want to feast guests, you still have to buy more from people who specialize in planting flowers. ”
Chunshou didn't understand, Li Qianqian smiled at her, and said, "Although the chrysanthemums on our Zhuangzi are also carefully cultivated, they can't be as good as others who specialize in this business, so we won't compete with others for this business." ”
Only then did Chunshou understand, "It turns out that the sect leader doesn't want to fight with others!"
Li Qianqian said in a shallow heart, if you want to understand it like this, it's not impossible.
Mother Ye walked over, "The sweet soup is stewed, on the stove in the ear room, can Chunshou go get it?"
Chunshou nodded and ran away quickly, Mother Ye looked at her figure and smiled, "They are all in their twenties, and they still look like children." ”
Li Qianqian agreed with the words, "I'm thinking, should I plan their marriage after getting married, or do I plan now?"
"If there is a good one, you can naturally plan to get up first!" Mother Ye actually has a headache for the maids around Li Qianqian, Chunjiang Chunshou two, slightly older, and took care of Li Qianqian to grow up, the most useful, if you wait for Li Qianqian to get married, and then plan their marriage, what if Li Qianqian is the same as Lan Tang, there will be joy soon after entering the door? After Li Qianqian gave birth to a child, it was a little late to let them get married, and after Li Qianqian's child was born, there must be loyal people to wait, who else is more reassuring than Chunjiang and them to be a child nurse or housekeeper mother twice?
But if you want to let the two of them out of the cabinet before Li Qianqian gets married, what about the object?
She couldn't tell if Chunjiang and Chunshou had a good impression or interest in anyone, so she rashly asked them to marry, what if they married someone else?
Or after getting married, you find out that the person you like has appeared, so what should you do?
Chunjiang and Chunshou actually have a headache for this, but they really don't have a good impression of anyone, and marrying just for the sake of marrying someone seems to be unfair to each other.
So the three masters and servants all had a bit of an ostrich mentality, thinking that it would be okay if they didn't think about it, but they didn't know that with the passage of time, this matter was not only for their master and servant to consider, and Li Shu also paid attention to this matter under the reminder of Jinyi.
"It should be a few of them who take over, if you want to go out these days, you might as well take a few more of them out for a walk, although Chunjiang and their marriage has not yet been settled, but the wedding dress must be prepared first. ”
The maid's wedding dress is different from the master's wedding dress, and Chunjiang's female red craftsmanship is hundreds of times better, and it is certainly not a problem to make embroidered clothes, but it takes time for them to do it slowly.
After Chunjiang watched the people arrange the chrysanthemum potted plants one by one, he sent away the rough envoys before turning around and entering the house.
When Mother Ye saw her come in, she changed the subject, "I heard that Lu Run has been getting along well with Old Lady Fang these days. ”
"It's a good deal, Old Lady Fang is a reasonable person, Lu Run is also a reasonable person, both of them understand things, and they naturally get along very well. ”
The most important thing is that Old Lady Fang has long been dissatisfied with the other party's rules, and Lu Run happens to see this rule very unpleasantly, just imagine, if the Fang family does not have this bad rule, Miss Lu Wu will have ten miles of red makeup to marry, and after marriage, in addition to her husband and children, just taking care of the industry under her name is enough for her to be busy, how can Second Master Lu be so easy to make her tempted to be the head of the Lu Chamber of Commerce?
Perhaps, as early as when she knew that Xianfang Pavilion intended to ban Master Wang's master and apprentice, she would send someone to contact Master Wang and recruit people to the silver building under her name to be on an errand, maybe her temper would still be very irritable, but it would not be as embarrassing as now.
After Chunjiang and Mother Ye heard what Li Qianqian said, they also nodded in agreement, "How do I look at this rule of the Fang family, do I think it's very problematic?" Mother Ye asked thoughtfully.
"Oh, Mother Ye also thinks there is a problem?"
"The Sect Master thinks so too?"
"Yes!" Li Qianqian smiled, "The dowry shops and Zhuangzi of the daughters-in-law cannot be managed by them personally!" "When there are many pawnshops, whose owner will personally manage them?
The Fang family didn't even allow this, and asked the clan to send someone to take charge of it, so the question is, these people are in charge of other people's daughters-in-law's dowry industry, reasonable? If there is any problem, do they want to contact these female dependents? Are the clansmen considered foreign men to these female dependents?
Well, even if these clansmen are in charge of their own property, they are in charge of their own property, who will be the one who makes the money? Who will be the one who loses the loss?
"The original intention should have been good, but later, someone saw a lot of benefits in it, so they began to make trouble. Li Qianqian didn't make it clear, but Chunjiang and Mother Ye understood from her words.
"I'm afraid that the Fang family has made a lot of money over the years!" Li Qian sneered, Mother Ye frowned, and asked, "This Miss Lu Wu's industry, I'm afraid that she has already been targeted before she marries into the door, right?"
"Count that Miss Lu Wu has been in the door for a few years, I'm afraid that a lot of her industries have been eaten, right?" Chunjiang shook his head, "She has the kung fu to stare at the sect leader to ask Master Wang for a few, it is better to put more thought into her own industry, after all, it is all her father and mother who gave her a dowry!"
Chunshou took the tray and sent the sweet soup over, one person and one lamp, today is the sweet soup of osmanthus flowers, there are three glutinous rice dumplings in it, the filling inside is mung beans, and the soup is filled with finely chopped osmanthus and wolfberry, which looks very appetizing.
After drinking the sweet soup, Li Qianqian took Bai Kai from Chunjiang's hand and rinsed his mouth.
Just as he was about to say something, Liu Er came. "Sect Master, Lu Run has sent a message of worship again. ”
"Well, what's the matter, he went to Miss Lu Wu's property to check the accounts?" Li Qianqian was not interested in his visit, only interested in his going to check the accounts.
"Checked, checked. Liu Er shook his head with a smile, sat down in the position of Li Qianqian's head, and thanked Chunshou who handed him the sweet soup, he drank it in one go, handed the bowl back, and then drank the tea that Chunjiang poured for him in one go.
Seeing that he was really thirsty, Chunshou poured him another cup of tea, this time he no longer drank it in one go, but took a sip and put it back in his hand.
"The Fang family really dares! It's just a clear robbery!" Liu Er said this, his face full of disdain and disdain. "The family of several people who were sent by the patriarch of the Fang family and the clan elders to take charge of Miss Lu Wu's property were found out by Lu Run's people, and during the period of managing Miss Lu Wu's property, they had a lot of property of unknown origin, among which the patriarch's grandson was the most arrogant. ”
"What's so arrogant?" Li Qianqian urged him to continue.
He told Lu Run that he was ordered by his grandfather to go to manage the property for the clan, and if there was any problem, let Lu Run ask his grandfather directly. Liu Er felt that the grandson of the patriarch of the Fang clan was really not good at braining, Lu Run had the original dowry list of Miss Lu Wu when she got married, and Miss Lu Wu also had it in her hand, and there were also construction files in the yamen, and the three parties would be compared, and then compared with the existing industry, you would know where the problem was!
Li Qianqian asked Chunjiang and Chunshou to sit, and then asked Liu Er, "Lu Run let him mess with him like this?"
"How is this possible?" Liu Er smiled and said Lu Run's next actions one by one.
Lu Run went to check the accounts, but he was not the only one who went to the meeting, he first went to the yamen to invite the officials, and then brought all his guards, and went to the shop, so he first collected the account books and handed them over to the old account room to reconcile.
"The patriarch's grandson cried in front of the people who watched the excitement and complained that the business was not easy to do! The shopkeeper didn't care! As a result, Lu Run was provoked, and the shopkeeper didn't care, wasn't he the person in charge responsible? I would like to ask you why you still use him when you know that this shopkeeper is a man who has repeatedly lost money? He has not used it for several years? The monthly money has increased from one tael or ten taels per month to the current one hundred taels, and why did he give him a salary increase knowing that he was not effective in running the shop? If he really loses money every month, and he has to ask Miss Lu Wu for money to settle the account, why do you still give him such a high salary?"
"It's completely unreasonable, the patriarch's grandson was going to argue again, but after Lu Runyi told the identity of the shopkeeper, everyone, including the people watching the excitement outside the shop, all understood. ”
Chunshou preemptively said, "That shopkeeper shouldn't be his brother-in-law or brother-in-law, right?"
"Almost, it's his father-in-law. ”
Oh! No wonder!
"Is he taking Miss Lu Wu's money to supplement his father-in-law?" Mother Ye couldn't believe it, but this was a clear matter in front of her, so people had to believe it.
This is not the only family, his father-in-law, several brothers-in-law, his mother's maternal uncles and cousins, all of them are in the shop managed by his family. Moreover, it is still the kind of person who doesn't care about things, the real managers in the shop are his cronies, and they are all capable of doing things, and the most important thing is that these people are very good at doing accounts, not only one set of accounts, but one set of accounts in a shop, one for Miss Lu Wu, one for the patriarch and the clan elders, and one set, this set is the real account. ”
For Miss Lu Wu, it was a continuous loss, and she was desperately needed to inject funds to save the decline. For the patriarch and the clan elders, naturally there is no loss, and there is a small profit, if in his hands, he can't make money and lose money, even if the patriarch is his grandfather, it is not easy to explain to the clan elders!
"So the patriarch's grandson not only got money from the normal business, but also took another sum from Miss Lu Wu?"
"Yes!" After seeing Lu Run's dismantling of the true face of the eldest grandson of the Fang family, Liu Er couldn't help but want to send people to the shops in various places to check the accounts! lest there be any omissions, like Miss Lu Wu's shop, someone took advantage of the loopholes, made profits from them, and laughed at them for being stupid behind their backs.
"What about Miss Lu Wu's other shops?"
"Those people are not as ugly as the patriarch's grandson, but they are no better. ”
Anyway, their family has become rich from the original well-off, even if Li Qianqian and they don't like Miss Lu Wu, they can't bear to see her being bullied like this!
"However, as the wife of the Fang family, it is a decision made by the patriarch and the elders of the Fang family to hand over the marriage industry to the clansmen, and she is a junior, and she can only obey, isn't it?"
Li Qianqian and Liu Er exchanged glances, "Although this is the case, as long as Old Lady Fang is opposed, with his seniority and status, I believe that the patriarch will not be able to force them, not to mention the matter of Lu Run's accounting, I believe that not only Old Lady Fang is dissatisfied with this, after all, if Miss Lu Wu's dowry can increase production every year, it will be his great-grandchildren who will benefit, not like now, all of them will be squandered by the patriarch's grandson's family." ”
In the Fang family, such as Miss Lu Wu, she must be the only one who has been taken away from the property, and the Lu family has set a precedent to find out that it is so greasy, and other families will definitely follow suit.
There is certainly not only one person who encroaches on other people's property for profit, and there is certainly not only one grandson of the patriarch who encroaches on other people's property for profit, and perhaps the Fang family will soon have to change the dynasty! The current patriarch and clan elders have violated the rights and interests of the clan and profited from their own family, and I am afraid that their position will be insecure.
"Send people to keep an eye on them, those people must be doing more than what you just said, once they are investigated, they may have to get rid of the illegal property before, so that people can see, maybe they can pick up some bargains. ”
Liu Eryi's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Then, do we want to eat them all?"
With such a good appetite, those old families in Xiangcheng won't let us all eat it, just pick some cheap ones and collect them, if the price soars, stop it, don't forget to say hello to Feng Gongzi. ”
"Yes. Liu Er led the order and left with a smile, Li Qianqian went to Li Shu again and told him about it, Li Shu turned his head and explained to Jin Yi, "Help to take a look, pick if there is a bargain, and let go as soon as the price goes up, let's not fight with those old families, let them play." ”
Jin Yi smiled and nodded, and asked Li Qianqian about the Fang family, Li Qianqian told everything he knew, and Jin Yi left.
Li Shu stopped Li Qianqian, who was about to retire, "I heard that Lu Run sent a message again?
"What are you doing with him?"
"Silly girl, his stepmother is good friends with you, he came, not to mention the side, just to see you on behalf of his stepmother, you should also see him. Li Shu glared at her with hatred, Li Qian touched his nose and smirked, "I just thought that he would definitely say something I didn't want to hear." ”
Li Shu glared at her again, "Besides, what else can he tell you that you don't want to hear? You're smart, and people aren't stupid! Can't you see what you're thinking?" I thought she was smart, but I didn't expect to be stupid.
Li Qianqian replied angrily, "How do I know what he thinks!" She secretly scolded herself in her heart, she had a lot of things, and she really didn't have the heart to think about it, but he gave gifts a little too much before, which made people have to think about it more!
Seeing her unrepentant appearance, Li Shu couldn't help but reach out and poke her forehead, "Okay, I'll accompany you to see him today, go back and urge Feng Gongzi, let him make the post of your marriage as soon as possible, and go back to Lu Run, and he will understand!"
