When this series of work was completed, the two maids of the pantry had just left the hall, and the curtain leading from the back door of the main hall to the inner courtyard was opened.

At the head of the line is the master of the first family.

At the beginning of Kaipeng, he wore a three-piece set of satin horse coats, with an indigo robe inside, printed with the word "Yuanbaofu", embroidered with moire entanglement, covered with a treasure silver placket Ma Jia, and a plain background, only rolled the lines of the gold embroidery thread.

Under a dark black robe, with a little silk thread on both sides, the robe that was originally stuffed with cotton and a little heavy added to the luxury.

This dress, for today's people, is a little grand, even if it is going out to run errands or going to an important banquet, it is also in the past.

But for the first master who pays attention to the rules and is extremely self-disciplined, this is just a regular dress at home.

No, he also had his favorite watch chain on the clasp of the placket, and after matching the number with the large table clock in the hall, Shi Shiran sat on his main seat.

Until the old man of the first family sat down, the curtain of the door he just came in did not be lowered.

It is said that such a slow response of the servants would never happen in the inner courtyard of the first family.

But in this room, whether it was the first master who had the final say or the loyal butler, no one paid any attention to it, but just calmly did their own things, as if waiting for something.

When the old man of the first family arrived, he lifted the lid of the tea bowl that was just right, blew open one or two small pieces of tea attached to it, and when he took a sip, a figure about the same size as the first master hurriedly crossed the threshold and entered the hall.

"Hey! It's really a cold winter this year! This weather makes it difficult to do business!"

The words fell, and the man sat down on the left side.

As for the curtain that was not necessarily lowered for a long time, it quietly hung down at this time.

Quietly, not to mention how neatly it is.

The man sat down, and the old butler just raised his eyelids lightly and looked at it, but he remained silent, and without the master to speak, he would never say a word first.

It's just that this person is too similar to the master.

It's no wonder that the old man has a slight preference for this one.

is the eldest son and grandson of the Chu family, and even when he looks at it, it is as if he has seen the old man twenty years ago, which makes people nostalgic.

This person is the eldest young master of the Chu family, Chu Shaojun.

At the age of two out of ten, he has already taken over the first family's pharmacy business in Dongzhen, and the business is also a little impressive.

Although he looks seventy percent like the first master, he is really looser than his father.

Now at home, he only wears a one-meter gray diagonal robe, with pure white silk left blank at the cuffs, and a slightly long hair combed towards the back of his head, which is smeared with colorless and odorless Shanghai brand head ointment, and not a single broken hair is curled up when ironed.

It doesn't look like a businessman coming and going, but like a gentleman teaching in the school.

It's just that as soon as this person opened his mouth, the smell of copper coins couldn't be hidden.

"Father, let me tell you, this group of big families in Jicheng is too unsophisticated. ”

"The New Year is approaching, so I opened my mouth to ask for glue on the shop. ”

"As soon as you open your mouth, it is the amount of three parties and four directions. ”

"If it is a medicinal herb next to it, no matter how precious this inventory is, you can find it from the medicine shop next to it. ”

"But who doesn't know that the donkey glue in this Dongcheng is the only one of our first family. ”

"If you want to boil good glue, you have to kill fresh donkey skin. ”

"A donkey is too small to be successful, and a donkey is too old to be successful. ”

"Even if you can meet a few good heads, it will take three days of soaking in living water, and the master in the workshop will not be idle for a while, staring at it all day before it can be soaked into a good skin. ”

"As for the rest, you don't know? You can't boil a whole piece of skin every fifteen or sixteen days. ”

"As for the process in the back, it is more cumbersome than the other, but they are good, as soon as the upper lip touches the lower lip, they want to take the freshest head pot ejiao?"

"That's a dream!"

"Even if Grandpa Yao Wang comes, he can't serve these old and young masters. ”

"I squatted on the shop and fought with the big stewards of the house, so I made up for the big head of the goods, and left a small tail, so let the people in the shop stare at it. ”

"I said Dad, we have enough pharmacies in our first family, shouldn't we set a rule, don't act like the medicine seller owes the medicine buyer. ”

This passage is really not short, and it was said by Chu Shaojun in one breath like a bean.

The response was the unanimous silence of the two middle-aged and elderly men in the room.

The lord of the Chu family didn't care about his son's half complaining and half showing off complaints, but turned to the housekeeper's place, and said lightly: "Chu Zhong, as it is, one by one." ”

And the big butler in the gray cotton robe bowed slightly, opened his voice, and slowly said the trivial things that needed to be reported.

For a while, the hall was full of clear trivial matters narrated by the old housekeeper, and no one took care of the stubble of the eldest young master who urgently needed people's affirmation.

Chu Shaojun, who was slightly embarrassed, coughed a little, turned his head and focused on the tea bowl in his hand, thinking about how to deal with the last bit of work in the shortest time, so that the workers in the pharmacy workshop could close the fire and take a holiday.

In the medicinal herb shop next to the Liangshui River, all the laborers who worked hard were used.

I can't go home once a year, and the people in the whole workshop are waiting for these ten days of vacation during the year.

He is also unwilling to procrastinate, and he has to pay an extra salary for one more day.

Compared with the money that made those few pieces of glue, the workshop with the fire on the fire is more expensive.

Chu Shaojun was thinking about the plan, but was interrupted by a sudden laugh from his father in front of him.

Shocked, he couldn't even bother to search the business of those oceans, and turned his face to look at the old father who rarely lost his temper.

At this time, his father-in-law actually brought three points of happiness and asked the big butler about something.

"So, before it was our turn to make a move, the little boy would figure out a way to solve it himself?"

The old housekeeper replied seriously: "Yes, this matter has been done by their own people in the village." ”

Although I mentioned it at the beginning, the person who found out about this was a kid from the Shao family, and I didn't say much about the role of this person in it later. ”

But looking at this result, he is the one who has benefited the most. ”

"It doesn't make sense to say that he didn't do this. ”

"From the moment the old man chatted with him yesterday, I felt that this kid really had some ability. ”

"I can see the situation clearly, let go of my body, throw away my finances, and know how to take advantage of the situation. ”

"When I was a child, I was a little careless, but just looking at his age, it was not bad. ”

For the words of the old housekeeper, the master of the first family also agreed.

The two of them sighed to themselves, but they made the eldest young master of the first family curious.

He swallowed the tea in his mouth and inserted it in the middle of the conversation.

"What kid? What's going on? Tell me about it, too?"
