Shi Fei'er took the deed that Jia Yu had lost, and asked Jia Yu to send someone to call Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang over, saying that they had something important to discuss. Jia Zheng was at home today, and when he heard that his brother had sent someone to invite him, he brought Mrs. Wang with him. After everyone was ready, Shi Fei'er sent his subordinates before he spoke.

"I called you here today because I have something to consult with you. Sfield said.

"A mother should obey whatever she is told, and a son should obey. Jia Zheng glanced at his eldest brother and took the lead in speaking.

Shi Fei'er nodded, and then looked at her daughter-in-law, and Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Wang also immediately said: "Mother just tells me, and my daughter-in-law should obey it." Hearing these four people hurriedly express their attitudes, Shi Fei'er smiled and said: "What do you obey or not, I have something to discuss with you, and the discussion is to discuss and discuss together, if I say it alone, then why bother to gather you together again?"

"Mother, you just say it. The son listened attentively. Jia Yu couldn't hold back his mouth, I don't know why every time Jia's mother wants to get the two families together to talk about things, she can leave some benefits, and I don't know if it's the same today. Jia Yu had a little more expectation in his heart.

"I took care of my eldest wife a few days ago and asked her to ask Mrs. Zhang to name this soap. Mrs. Zhang is quite knowledgeable, and she inscribes this soap. Shi Fei'er spoke. Jia Zheng on the side was a little confused, although he knew something about soap, but he didn't know why Jia's mother would talk about it, and what it had to do with himself, he was worried in his heart and listened to Jia's mother again: "Now this soap has been a sensation in the capital, a box of eight yuan and ten taels of silver, in less than three days, five hundred boxes have been booked." Jia Zheng was not good at the economy, and he was even more confused when he heard this, but he didn't dare to interject at will, so he had to wait for the following.

"In this way, this item can add about 5,000 taels to the house in January. Hearing Jia Mu's words, Jia Zheng was surprised, but he didn't expect this little thing to be quite profitable. "Now we still owe more than 100,000 taels to the imperial court......"

"That will be closed in less than three years. Jia Yu couldn't help but interject, sure enough, there was a good thing as he expected, just the same entry cost of two years has 100,000 taels of silver, which is really good.

"Two or three years is too long, and I don't know how many variables will be born. It would be better to fill this hole sooner. Shi Fei'er said again: "I called you here today to discuss the opening of two more branches in this Huihui Pavilion, and I want to open another branch in Jinling and Yangzhou, what do you think?" ”

Hearing Jia's mother say this, the four of them were stunned, although they also have a grange shop, but just look at the account book every month to ask about the harvest, Jiafu is not a businessman, and the children and grandchildren naturally do not know how to operate, and Jia's mother said that she was going to open a branch, and it was outside Beijing, and she didn't know how to answer.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Shi Fei'er opened his mouth and explained: "The ancestral home of Jiafu is in Jinling, and it is very common to return to the ancestral hometown to open a branch, as for the choice of Yangzhou, it is because it is a rich place in the world, this thing is not cheap in the first place, and it is natural to have a rich and noble family." ”

"It's just that although this soap is quite popular in Beijing this time, I don't know what to do when I go to other places?" Jia Yu said, although he was a little surprised just now, but if he added two more according to the momentum of the capital, he would definitely be able to make up for this deficit in less than a year, which is indeed a good thing. It's just that the practice of this handmade soap is only known to the mother. I heard that Mrs. said that at present, each of these pieces sold in Beijing is also made by her mother herself, so she doesn't bother others, so she probably thinks that this recipe is her mother's dowry, so naturally she shouldn't spread it, thinking of this, Jia Yu felt that she shouldn't let her mother work too hard. He also said, "This capital is quite far from Jinling Yangzhou, how dare my son work hard for his mother." ”

When Shi Fei'er heard this, she was so angry that she wanted to knock on Jia Yu's head, you only need to transport things over to open a branch, why do you still want me to take a carriage and a boat to produce handmade soap for you? Shi Fei'er shook her head and said: "Where to use me personally, I will send it over when it is done, and this thing is not afraid to be released, it is fine." As for the Jinling branch, I already have an idea, but Yangzhou does not. Today, if any of you can find a suitable shop in Yangzhou, the dividends in the Yangzhou store will be divided into 10%. ”

As soon as these words came out, Jia pardoned Jia Zheng was average, but the two ladies were happy, if the shop in Yangzhou was only according to the momentum of the capital, a Chengli was less than 5,000 taels a year, and the monthly money of the wife of the head of the house in January was only 20 taels, and the people in this courtyard rewarded the subordinates, and the silver taels were naturally insufficient to go out to socialize, and they had to make up for one or two from time to time. Nowadays, just looking for a shop will have such an entry, which is a beautiful thing. The two wives inevitably moved their minds.

On the side, Jia Zheng hesitated for a while and said: "It is really unfilial piety for a son to let his mother worry about family affairs. In my opinion, if this soap can make up for this shortfall, then it is better not to do it in the future after filling it. If it is spread out, and then say something like the desire for profit in the house, I am afraid that it will affect the reputation of the house. ”

These words really made Shi Fei'er angry, thinking in her heart what this Mother Jia loved with her heart, you owe money, and you can't pay it back, I want to help and make a reputation for profit, since I attach so much importance to reputation, how can I do it to occupy the main house. Hmph, what if I'm just hungry for profit, and coming here will delay my great business of making money in this world. If I don't double my earnings here, I'm still angry, not to mention that this money is earned cleanly, how can I ruin the reputation of the house. Shi Fei'er couldn't help but blacken her face when she thought about it.

When Jia Zheng said this, he also felt that it was out of place, and immediately said: "The son really doesn't want his mother to be too in charge, and now the affairs of the house are borne by the mother. Originally, it was supposed to let the mother tease Sun Yi to raise her for a long time, but now that the mother is so hard, she is no longer a son, the son is not filial, and the son is not filial. ”

If what he said just now made Shi Fei'er angry, these words pierced Shi Fei'er's lungs every word. If you talk about these words alone, Jia Zheng's original intention is indeed to hope that his mother will work less, but this Shi Fei'er is not the real Jia mother, but when she heard these words, she had something else in her ears. Shi Fei'er secretly thought that this is to dislike me, your daughter-in-law's right to dislike me for being troublesome? As far as you are concerned, I should tease my grandson to eat and mix it up in the dark, right?

Jia Yu saw that Jia's mother had a black face, thinking that his brother could make his mother angry with three or two words. hurriedly said: "Brother's words are bad, if you and my brother are angry, where will my mother still worry about these trivial matters." It's hard for my mother to think about everything, ten times better than you and me, I think this matter depends on my mother's wishes, our brothers went to find a suitable store in Yangzhou, and when the preparations are ready, they will open on a certain day. ”

Shi Fei'er naturally understood that Jia Yu was saying this to please herself, but at least this Jia Yu still understood who she was tossing for. It's not in vain. Shi Fei'er rolled her eyes, and said: "Zheng'er has often consulted Yu Da Confucian scholars in this rectification, and he has grown a lot. Nowadays, everything is based on the reputation of the house, which is even more rare. ”

When Jia Zheng heard Jia's mother say this, he thought that his mother didn't care about what he just said, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Jia Mu said again: "After you said it, I remembered a major event related to the reputation of our house." This has been a few months past and must not be delayed any longer. I moved out of this Rongxi Hall this month and moved to live in Rongqing Hall. Your eldest brother moved to the main house of Rongxi Hall, and you moved your eldest brother's current mansion as soon as possible, and it is best to stop this matter next month, so it is most appropriate for everyone to return to you. ”

As soon as these words came out, the four of them were all shocked and had different thoughts. This Jia Zheng really regretted it, he just followed his mother's wishes to please his mother, how could he talk about things that would affect his reputation. looked at Mrs. Wang on the side, but she was stunned and couldn't even answer a sentence.
