"Miss, Shopkeeper Pei has something important to see you, and he is waiting in the outer hall now. ”

The weather has been a little cold in the past two days, Mu Tianxiang himself is not very good, so he has been resting in the warm pavilion in the courtyard, and now after listening to Jiang Bo's words, he immediately got up and asked, "What does Uncle Jiang know?"

Hearing the words inside through the chain, Uncle Jiang hurriedly bent down slightly and bowed back: "It's probably about the shop, I heard that a new shop is going to open on the other side in the next two days, and the shopkeeper Pei seems to have inquired about something." ”

Mu Tianxiang frowned and thought about it, thinking that there must be something wrong with that shop, otherwise Brother Pei would never come to the house at this time.

It was early in the morning when the shop was open, and he was supposed to be sitting in it.

Mu Tianxiang hurriedly beckoned Yu Jin to approve a dress for himself and walked out of the warm pavilion, as soon as the curtain of the warm pavilion was opened, Mu Tianxiang suddenly shivered, glanced at the somewhat gloomy weather, and always felt that today's cold was abnormal.

glanced at Uncle Jiang and said, "Uncle Jiang, I'll go over with you to take a look." ”

Mu Tianxiang was just about to go out, but she was grabbed by her arm by Mama Zhou, who was walking towards her, looked at her somewhat pale face, and immediately said with an annoyed face: "Miss, what are you doing, the weather is so cold, and your body is not good, how can you just walk out casually." ”

"I'm fine, Mama Zhou, Brother Pei has something, I'll go over and take a look and come back. Mu Tianxiang patted Mama Zhou's hand and said with a light smile.

She is indeed not as weak as they imagined, and her spirit has not been good in the past two days, and it is also because she has caught up with the menstrual period, and she is a little cold and tired.

Mama Zhou glanced at Mu Tianxiang and saw that she was indeed just a little pale, and there was nothing serious, so she ordered Yujin and Luzhu to follow her well, and she stayed in the courtyard to discipline the new slave and maid.

That's right, since the day before yesterday, Mu Tianxiang had a second trouble in the courtyard of Fulu Pavilion. That night, the servants of the shogunate were cleaned up by the Hyamagami people, and yesterday Jiang Bo bought some new people from the tooth dealers, and now some of them are distributed to her yard.

I am afraid that my hands and feet are not clean, so I have been personally taught and supervised by Mama Zhou in the past two days.

Mu Tianxiang followed Uncle Jiang to the door of the main hall of the outer courtyard. I saw Pei Zongze pacing back and forth in the room, his face was unprecedentedly anxious. For a while, the arrival of Mu Tianxiang and others was not found.

"Brother Pei. ”

Mu Tianxiang frowned in surprise and called softly.

There was no movement, Pei Zongze was still immersed in his thoughts, walking left and right.

Mu Tianxiang had no choice but to change his mouth again, this time probably because Uncle Jiang coughed on the side, Pei Zongze came back to his senses.

"Miss. As soon as he turned his face, the anxious look on his face was taken back, and Pei Zongze regained his previous calm and calm appearance.

Mu Tianxiang lowered her eyes, making it impossible to see her expression. Then he raised his head and looked at Pei Zongze and asked, "Brother Pei, Uncle Jiang said that you came here so early, I still don't believe it, isn't it time to open the store?"

"No, no, it's okay in the shop. Pei Zongze immediately shook his head and replied with a smile, seeing Mu Tianxiang's distrustful eyes, he spoke again: "It's not our shop's business." The shop opposite has been moving more in recent days. ”

"Opposite the shop?"

She remembered that the shop opposite was supposed to be a restaurant.

Mu Tianxiang was even more puzzled. Although she heard Uncle Jiang say it just now, she still couldn't guess it, but a restaurant shop, what kind of movement can make him a big shopkeeper of the shogunate anxious.

Unless the shop is involved in their own house.

"No, it's the herb shop next door. Pei Zongze shook his head and said to Mu Tianxiang. His brows were furrowed as he spoke.

"Hehe, Brother Pei, the matter of the medicinal herb shop next door has nothing to do with the two of us, why are you so impatient?" Mu Tianxiang raised his sleeve and covered his mouth and smiled. Some quipped.

The business of the medicinal herb shop is not very good, and the black-hearted and unscrupulous shopkeeper fills his own pockets, and it is not a matter of one or two times to sell shoddy medicinal materials to the people, although in the end there is always the support of the government, and this matter is not over.

But often walking by the river, how can there be a reason not to get your shoes wet.

I'm afraid that this time I will offend the master who is tougher than his backstage, so I will eat a lawsuit and make things bigger.

The night before yesterday, the shop was outflanked by the government, and the big shopkeeper and his companions in the shop were arrested before the early hours of the morning, and even the proprietor who was far away from the city was also arrested and punished.

Before dawn, a time-honored shop pù was uprooted, this thunderous momentum after dawn, since the whole city was amazed, and the original trend of inflammation, mercenary in front of the pharmacy regardless of the people's life and death, since the people have a good egg and vegetable leaf soup painted new.

It's only been a day since the shop was closed, but now Pei Zongze said that there is a problem, and this is indeed a problem.

Mu Tianxiang looked at Pei Zongze hesitantly, a broken shop can make him anxious like never before, and that matter is really not ordinary.

"Alas!" Pei Zongze looked at Mu Tianxiang's smiling face, sighed before saying: "Something did happen to that shop, it was seized yesterday, but you don't know, just in the afternoon, the shop was taken over by the new owner." ”

"Does it have anything to do with us?" Mu Tianxiang asked curiously, not in a hurry.

"Last night, about a dozen trucks entered the yard. Pei Zongze glanced at Mu Tianxiang and said, "If I'm not mistaken, those are all foreign spices that are hard to find." ”

"Huh. Mu Tianxiang heard Pei Zongze's words, suddenly laughed, blinked at him and smiled: "Brother Pei, are you in a hurry because of this? This is really not like the big brother Pei I knew before, not to mention whether he really wants to buy spices, or sells them, so what, it is not so easy to do a spice business in Licheng, and it is still some strange things from overseas." ”

What Mu Tianxiang thought of in his head was the difference between modern domestic and imported products.

A domestic time-honored brand and a number of recent imported products, the time-honored brand naturally has its own customers for many years and a good reputation, and the new imported products, in order to gain a firm foothold in the domestic market, must do a good job of market research in advance, a large number of preliminary publicity preparations.

For the people of Licheng now, they are naturally more inclined to be familiar with themselves, and those overseas things, if they are not publicized in advance, naturally there is no way for people to trust them in the first time and penetrate into the hearts of the people.

Pei Zongze listened to her words and asked, and indeed found that he was too worried, although the shop was a new owner, it was not necessarily a spice business, even if it was, it was well water and river water, everyone did their own business, and fair competition was not a bad thing.

Mu Tianxiang saw that Pei Zongze finally stretched his brows, but he frowned tightly.

Regardless of whether the other party can achieve something in the spice business, just from the fact that the other party can open the spice shop opposite Mu's Xiangfang, this intention is probably not as simple as doing business.

"Brother Pei, has there been anything in our shop that has offended people recently?" Mu Tianxiang asked with a frown.

"Offending people?" Pei Zongze listened to her question, and was a little surprised for a while.

"Licheng began decades ago, except for the spice shop in Mufu, I am afraid there is no second one, and now that my mother is leaving, this foreign shop is about to rise, I am afraid it is not simple. Mu Tianxiang whispered, she didn't feel that her suspicions were a little superfluous, and she always felt that the recent period seemed too peaceful.

You must know that the current master of Mufu has changed her, and in the eyes of outsiders, she is just a child, and in the past few generations, in the first few years of inheriting the family business, there are still elders behind her.

But now that her mother left suddenly, she didn't teach her how to run the shop, at this time, she, the master, must be the weakest link in the shop, and it is also the easiest time for everyone to wait to see jokes.

From this point of view, it would not be surprising if at this time, someone took advantage of the situation to suppress it, and the Mufu industry was defeated in her hands.

Mu Tianxiang sighed, it was really a time of internal and external troubles: "Brother Pei, if you have time, please ask you to inquire about the specific news of that shop." ”

Now is not the time for her to sit back and relax.

When Pei Zongze was sent away, when Mu Tianxiang was returning to the courtyard, he suddenly turned around halfway and went straight to Master Liu's courtyard.

"Miss, what are you doing here?" Just when Mu Tianxiang had walked without two steps, Mama Zhou suddenly walked hurriedly from where she was, and hurriedly stopped her and asked.

"I'm going to Master Liu's yard and have something to ask. Mu Tianxiang turned her head and glanced at Mama Zhou, not feeling anything strange.

"Oh, my good young lady, you said that you just sent someone to invite Master Liu, why don't you want to go by yourself? Mama Zhou shouted as if she had encountered something surprising, and found that the people around her were looking at her differently, so she coughed embarrassedly, lowered her head and whispered in front of Mu Tianxiang: "Miss, even if you have forgotten your identity as the master now, don't forget that you are still a young lady who has not been out of the cabinet, she always walks around the man's yard all day long, and when she is seen by those who have a heart, maybe there will be some gossip." ”

Mu Tianxiang looked at Mama Zhou with a strange face, saw her uneasy private tour, and understood that what she said made sense, so she chuckled and said, "What Mama Zhou said is Tianxiang's carelessness." ”

After speaking, she turned to Uncle Jiang and ordered, "Uncle Jiang, I still have to go to Master Liu's courtyard to see if he knows about the shop." ”

When Uncle Jiang took her orders and left, Lu Zhu on the side was curious and asked, "Miss, this Master Liu doesn't go out of the yard all day, why are you doing outside?"

"Master Liu doesn't go out much, but our family's accounts are personally sent by the shopkeepers of each shop. Mu Tianxiang glanced at the green bamboo with a smile, turned around and walked towards his yard.

Leaving Lu Zhu looking at her back with a confused face, she couldn't figure it out, but Yu Jin shouted at her before she came back to her senses and caught up. (To be continued......)
