Chapter 936: Arrangement
In the largest elegant room on the second floor of Tianbaofang, a young woman in a cherry-colored horse-faced skirt sat in a circle chair in front of the windowsill, holding an azure tea cup in both hands, and was slowly widening the tea, and there were several girls aged from eighteen to ten years old sitting at the large round table in the room, and they should be the masters in their clothes, they were looking intently at the picture album in front of them, and there were maids waiting behind each of them, occasionally helping to come up with ideas.
The young woman pondered for a long time and asked, "Are you sure it's Huang Jiu from Fusu Villa?"
"Yes. A maid beside the young woman nodded back.
"Didn't Huang Jiu stay in Fengjiazhuang and refuse to go home?"
The maid sneered, as if she was quite disdainful of Miss Huang Jiu. "I heard that he was driven out by Fengjiazhuang. β
"What's the matter?" the young woman asked with interest.
The maid hurriedly told her the news of the inquiry, and after the young woman heard it, she put down the tea cup with a happy expression and asked her to bring the food box, which was full of fresh snacks made by the kitchen girls overnight.
A few maids saw that the master was interested in eating, and they all came up to wait, and the young woman seemed to be really appetizing, and even ate a few pieces of lotus cakes, and then took another cup of tea and took a sip.
"Take it!"
"Sister-in-law, do you look at these sets of jewelry?" the girls sitting at the big round table beckoned to the young woman.
The young woman replied without raising her head, "You can buy it, anyway, it's just a normal wear! If you really want to go to the banquet, you can find someone to make new jewelry." β
This was really wealthy, but the girls seemed to be accustomed to their sisters-in-law talking like this, and they didn't care, so they asked people to call the maid who was waiting in the elegant room to come in.
"We want this set, this set, and this set, well, Seventh Sister, look at the lack of that set. β
"This set. The youngest seventh sister saw that her sisters didn't say what she wanted, and hurriedly pointed it out.
The maid repeated the number they had picked, and after confirming that it was correct, she went out to the shopkeeper to pick up the goods.
The seventh sister calculated the price of several sets of jewelry, and after calculating, she couldn't help but be speechless, and pulled the fifth sister next to her to bite her ear.
When the fifth sister heard that the total price of these sets of jewelry was about 50,000 taels, she couldn't help but stick out her tongue, a little surprised! Their eyesight seemed to be getting higher and higher!
However, the sets they picked should be worth this price, not only the design is novel and the workmanship is exquisite, but the gems inlaid on them are also real high-quality gemstones.
After a while, the maids led the people in the trays and brought in all the jewelry they had designated.
Only then did the young woman get up and come over, pick up the jewelry on the tray and examine it carefully.
"Huh, come and see, isn't this the craftsmanship of that master Wang of our Northern Jin Dynasty Immortal Pavilion?"
Hearing this, all the maids have come around, the master of their family, since he was a child, he likes the jewelry of Xianfang Pavilion, but a few days ago, the old owner passed away, and the new owner didn't know whether to get off the horse or how, he actually dismissed Master Wang, who had the best craftsmanship in Xianfang Pavilion, and the remaining master craftsmanship was not as good as Master Wang, and his temper was still big, thinking that Xianfang Pavilion was a time-honored brand, and he couldn't stand the of the guests, and he had disputes with the guests several times.
It stands to reason that the guests should be dealt with by the steward and the shopkeeper, and it is not the turn of these masters to come forward, but soon after the death of the old owner, the old shopkeeper also passed away due to illness, although the successor of the shopkeeper is quite experienced, but the new owner does not trust him, and insists on bringing his brother over to be the shopkeeper, thinking of pressing him, so as not to carry him behind his back.
Originally, the new owner had just taken over the business, and it was understandable that he didn't trust these old people.
However, he went too far, his brother didn't know how to do business at all, and he preferred to be the boss, and he was forced to resign after only a few days in office.
After the milk brother became the shopkeeper, he was very majestic, but when he encountered something, he shrunk! There was no responsibility, and because of this, as soon as the guest provoked him, he shrank and threw the matter to others to deal with, and the newly appointed chief master was invited to come out and personally face the guests' doubts and provocations.
Although the young woman was not the guest who picked the stab, she happened to be at the scene, and after seeing that scene, she realized that the original Master Wang had left, and left with his apprentices.
She has always liked Master Wang's craftsmanship, knowing that he left the Xianfang Pavilion, and sent someone to find out where he was staying, she also thought that her dowry shop had a good location, which was just used to open a silver building, and it was just right to invite Master Wang back to sit down.
In this way, if Master Wang has any new works, he is the first person to know, and he can also keep Master Wang and them in his sphere of influence, so as not to let the new owner of the Immortal Fang Pavilion come to the door to find trouble.
Unexpectedly, her people tracked down for a long time, but they didn't find Master Wang's whereabouts, but they let themselves see them unexpectedly in Nanchu.
"Grandma, has this Master Wang entered the Tianbao Fang?" said one of the maids, looking at the hairpin in the master's hand.
"Maybe. The young woman looked at the hairpin for a long time, "However, when I go back, I will ask the eldest sister to help me talk about it, I believe that the Li sect leader will give the eldest sister this face." β
Give the eldest lady face? Could it be that the master still wants to open a silver building? The uncle in the house will agree? The old lady will nod?
Don't look at the big business of the Fang family, and the rules are also very big, even if the daughter-in-law who marries into the Fang family has ten miles of red makeup, after entering the door, she can only hand over the dowry to the next person to take care of, saying that it is to take care of it, but in fact, it is to rent the shop to the Fang family to do business, they collect rent, and the income of the Zhuangzi is also handed over to the Fang family to sell.
This is also when Master Lu thought about stepping children, Miss Lu Wu and his wife were the most positive, because in this way, they could live in the Lu family on the grounds of taking care of the children who had been passed on to their parents' family, and they would no longer have to be managed by the Fang family.
But in the end, Miss Lu chose to succeed Lu Run among the Lu clan, and at the same time took in several Lu orphans with good quality, even if Lu Run was in trouble, she still had a few back-ups.
If Lu Run can grow up safely, these brothers of the same clan who have been cultivated and raised with him will become his greatest help.
This is a good thing for Lu Run's mother and son and these children, but it has become a disaster for Lu Xizhu and Miss Lu Wu.
Because their son had no hope of succession, their husband and wife were also severely reprimanded by Mrs. Fang, and when they learned that there was hope for succession, they were also very happy to see it, but as soon as it didn't land, they took their anger out on their husband and wife.
However, because of the failure of the adoption, Miss Lu Wu was disappointed, and she couldn't help but complain to the old father, Master Lu felt sorry for the little daughter, and gave them hope as husband and wife, but let the hope be disappointed, so he made up for the little daughter from elsewhere.
Because of the big rules of the Fang family, even though the daughters-in-law who married in have a rich dowry, they don't have much cash to use, and these sisters-in-law of Miss Lu Wu wear them on weekdays, and they only have a quota in the public middle school, and they can purchase such expensive jewelry so generously without mercy, all thanks to Miss Lu Wu, that is, their sister-in-law.
After Master Lu learned that the rules of the Fang family were so strange, and at the same time, in order to make up for his little daughter, he allocated dividends to her from his private house every quarter every year.
Because of this, Miss Lu Wu no longer needs to use her brain to make money, but every year she has a large amount of money for her to spend, and the Fang family has a lot of scolding her for this, but she holds grudges, and the concubines and elders who were sneering at her before can only watch others take advantage of her.
The maids looked at her worriedly, and Miss Lu Wu sneered, "What are you worried about! You guys, I won't be stupid enough to let those tricks catch me." β
She was born in the Lu Chamber of Commerce, and there are many ways to do business by herself, but she didn't want to move before, it was just that she was cold and too lazy to move, but now that the children are in school, she is idle!
Wasn't it because Master Wang's master and apprentice were gone? Now that I have found someone, I want to open a store, but it's just a matter of talking about it.
In her opinion, Li Qianqian could owe her eldest sister a favor, otherwise Rui Yaojiao wanted to gain a foothold in the Northern Jin Dynasty so quickly?
"The eldest lady and the eldest aunt went to sea a few days ago, but Young Master Run has just arrived in Nanchu, do you want to find him?"
"Go to sea?" Miss Lu Wu asked with a frown, "When will you come back?"
The maids looked at each other, "It's hard to say. β
It's hard to say how long it will take.
Miss Lu Wu actually knew it, but she wanted to grab Master Wang's master and apprentice quickly, so she said to the maids, "Then let's find Young Master Run!"
Lu Run had just arrived in Nanchu, and learned that Li Qianqian was not in the capital, nor in Liancheng, but sent Lan Tang back to his mother-in-law's house, and now he was in Xiangcheng, so he immediately traveled to Xiangcheng lightly.
When I arrived in Yuecheng, I received a message from my aunt.
"Who is this Master Wang?" can actually ask Sect Master Li to invite over to sit in Tianbaofang, and his little aunt is also rushing to ask for it?
The people around Lu Run were all taught by Miss Lu to cultivate him slowly, and when he asked, he immediately told him about Master Wang.
"Xianfang Pavilion?" he had heard of this shop, it was a time-honored silver building in the Northern Jin Dynasty, and its reputation had always been good, but unfortunately there was no successor, and the old owner died, and the new owner couldn't pick it up at all, and he didn't want to show off the prestige of the master, but the prestige didn't work, but he was about to toss away the ancestral inheritance.
"Yes, Master Wang originally worked in the Xianfang Pavilion, but the new owner wanted to give everyone in the shop a disadvantage, so he ...... Master Wang saw that the apprentices were tossed half dead by the new owner, so he was so angry that he left with his sleeves and left the Xianfang Pavilion with the apprentices, originally saying that he was going back to his hometown to rest for a while, but he didn't expect them to come to Nanchu and sit in the newly opened Tianbaofang of the Ruiyao Sect. β
After hearing this, Lu Run smiled thoughtfully, he had already heard from his stepmother about this Li sect master, and when he thought that Master Wang and they were bullied by the Xianfang Pavilion, the people of the Li sect leader had already reached out to help, and when Master Wang's affection for the old owner was exhausted by the new owner, her people took advantage of the situation and invited people to Nanchu.
"I remember, Fengjiazhuang is near Xiangcheng?"
"Yes, Fengjiazhuang is on the mountain outside Xiangcheng, and the shops that I want to open in Xiangcheng are all opened for the wife of the owner of Fengzhuang. β
They had already heard that Sect Master Li and Mrs. Fengzhuang were very good, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was raised by Mrs. Fengzhuang.
The relationship is closer than that of sisters, the wife of the owner of Fengzhuang is dressed in clothes, all from Jinyifang and Tianbaofang, near her mother-in-law's house, it is not difficult to open two shops at all.
Master Wang's skills are outstanding, and it is completely reasonable to be invited to sit here, so wanting to rob Master Wang is tantamount to snatching food from the tiger's mouth!
His little aunt is really unaccustomed to it, she used to make trouble for her stepmother, but now that her stepmother is not at sea, she will make trouble for him!
But why did he put up with her?
Master Lu is very good to him, but it doesn't mean that he has to let Miss Lu Wu ask for him, she is already a married daughter, and she doesn't see that Master Lu wants to compensate her, so she can only give money from her own private house?
The Lu family is now strictly speaking, it is already in charge of Lu Run, Miss Lu went to sea with her husband, on the surface, it sounds good, to open up new trade routes and new sources of goods, but in fact, it is to avoid, and will not come back until Lu Run completely controls the Lu family.
Of course, these things belong to the internal affairs of the Lu family's big house, and even the second room of the Lu family doesn't know, let alone the married Miss Lu Wu, and Master Lu will not mention it to his youngest daughter, after all, these things have nothing to do with her, let alone her husband's family, so there is no need to explain them to them.
Therefore, when Miss Lu Wu was still excitedly looking forward to Lu Run's arrival and helping her achieve her desire to open a shop and make money, Lu Run had already put her aside and sent someone to Li Qianqian to ask for a meeting.
"Lu Run, well, who?" Li Qianqian looked at the post and thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't remember, so he threw the post and got up and went out.
Liu Er hurriedly took it and hurriedly said, "Miss Lu, Lu Jinzhu, Captain Bai." β
Oh oh oh, I remembered, "Didn't you say that they went to sea to play?"
"Master Lu has been unwell recently, and he has handed over all the family business to this step-grandson, Miss Lu and his wife should avoid it, lest the people below rely on her power and not obey the orders of the new family master. β
"Oh, then Lu Runcai took over the responsibility of the head of the family, shouldn't he stay in the Northern Jin Dynasty and collect the thorns below?"
What are you doing with Nan Chu?
"He deliberately went south, in order to let those who hooked up with Second Master Lu come to the surface, so that he could be captured in one fell swoop. β
"Oh. Li Qianqian looked at Liu Er with a shallow blink, as if waiting for him to say more.
Liu Er saw that his sect leader was stunned and refused to answer, so he had to hold his breath and speak, "He is still in Yuecheng now, I heard that he received a letter yesterday, which was written to him by Miss Lu Wu, and it seems that he wants him to help and ask for someone from you." β
"I'm here, I want someone, where do I have the person she wants?" After saying that, how did she feel a little weird? Well, it must have been her delusion.
"Do you remember Master Wang's origin?"
Master Wang, "Master Wang of Tianbaofang?" Li Qianqian exclaimed, and after receiving Liu Er's affirmative answer, she asked puzzledly, "This can't be, right? Master Wang is a decent person! Besides, she has a husband and children, do you want Master Wang to do it?"
Liu Er's face darkened when he heard what she said, "Sect Master, you, what are you talking about?"
Well, Liu Er seemed to be so frightened by her that he stammered.
"Didn't you say Master Wang?" "Origin, isn't it from the Northern Jin Dynasty! Hey, Northern Jin Dynasty?
"Miss Lu Wu asked Lu Run to ask you for favors, and wanted to ask Master Wang and his apprentices to go over, she liked the craftsmanship of Master Wang's master and apprentice, and after asking people to go over, she wanted to open a silver building for Master Wang's master and apprentice to sit in. οΌ
"What's the matter with me? I can invite people here, that's my ability, she has the ability, so she will find Master Wang and them to poach them by herself!
"It's to ask for the favor you owe Miss Lu. Liu Eryu said with disdain, he was so naΓ―ve, he couldn't figure out who owed whom, so he dared to come to the door to ask for a favor.
"I, I owe Miss Lu a favor?" Li Qianqian asked, pointing to his nose.
"It's Miss Lu who owes you a favor, this Miss Lu Wu doesn't know anything, so she dares to speak rashly, and it's no wonder that Master Lu didn't agree to step her son in the end. β
With such a mother who doesn't know the situation, how can her son get better?
However, "Lu Runzhen is really capable! It's only been a long time since he took over the responsibility of the head of the family." β
Li Qianqian shook his head, "I'm afraid it's not his real ability, but Master Lu's life is not long!" While he is still alive and can still suppress the people below, he passed the position of the head of the family to Lu Run, and if he had a problem when he took over, Master Lu rescued him in time. If Lu Run passes the test safely, everything will be fine, otherwise, there is still Miss Lu Ao, a strange soldier, once Lu Run can't hold it down, Master Lu can't hold it back, and Miss Lu will come back to save the scene.
