Fifty-third round
Mrs. Wang felt that this baby came late, so she didn't notice it earlier, so she was a little annoyed. Although he received a lot of good things from Jia's mother, he still didn't like it. But after only two days of displeasure, the Wang family sent someone to send a letter, and Mrs. Wang received the letter, but she was a little happy. The letter reported the good news, saying that his brother Wang Ziteng had now been transferred to the Beijing camp festival envoy and would come to Beijing on a certain day.
Among the four major families of Jia Wang Shi Xue, if you talk about it, it is naturally the most prosperous Jia family, and one family and two princes are beyond the reach of others. The second class is the historian, and it is also the Houmen. Next is the Wang family, and this prince Teng is the son of the prince of Du Taiwei ruling the county. The ancestors of the Wang family also had great military exploits, although they were not as good as the Jia family, but they still held military power in the local area. This generation has another prince Teng is quite competitive, and this time he can be transferred to the Jingying Festival Envoy, also because he has exterminated the thieves and has a brave record, and he was specially promoted to Beijing to be responsible for the defense of the capital.
Whether this ancient woman can straighten her waist in her in-law's house, in addition to giving birth to an heir, also depends on whether her mother's family can support herself. Now that her brother has entered Beijing and has military power, Mrs. Wang feels that her face is a lot brighter. Busy and happy, he went to report the good news to Jia's mother. It's a pity that Shi Feier is a modern person, and he can only understand such things. I still feel that it is better to rely on the support of my mother's family than to make my own interest, but I still ordered someone to prepare a congratulatory gift according to the usual practice, and when the Wang family entered Beijing, I ordered Mrs. Wang to bring it when she was happy. Mrs. Wang was happy to receive this gift first.
A month later, Wang Ziteng and his family entered Beijing to perform their duties, and it was a coincidence that the silver of the Xue family in Jinling also arrived. This silver is nothing else, it is the dividend of the original Yangzhou consignment soap. The Xue family carefully wrapped two copies, one for Jia's mother, and one for Shan and Mrs. Wang. Mrs. Wang took her share first before going to Jia's mother to take care of it.
Shi Fei'er saw that the Xue family's silver money was settled very quickly, and the amount was right, so she nodded, and ordered someone to take out one percent of the silver money from it and give it to Mrs. Wang, saying that this was the one percent profit agreed before. Mrs. Wang pretended to shirk it before she accepted it happily. When he returned to his house and compared the profit money sealed by Jia's mother with the profit money of the Xue family's single seal, he immediately threw aside the share sealed by Jia's mother.
Why are you Mrs. Dao Wang like this, and you have to talk about the Xue family's soap sales. Now, according to the law, if the soap is for its own shop, it will be 1,500 boxes per month, and if it is a consignment shop, it will be 500 boxes per month. It just happened that one of their own stores pΓΉ, and three consignments, added up to 3,000 boxes in January. But the Xue family felt that it was too little to give only 500 boxes a month, and the things were sold too well, but they couldn't ask Mrs. Wang to ask for it, and there was only a fixed number every month, so they thought about it. Doubled the price of each box of soap. In this way, selling 500 boxes but receiving 1,000 boxes of silver, but Yangzhou is a rich land, there are many salt merchants, and the fighting is that the objects are rare, where do you care about the original price of this thing, but it is more sought after. Therefore, it is too easy for the Xue family to come with this silver. This Mrs. Xue had already negotiated with Mrs. Wang, and the money would be divided into two percent for her as a matchmaking reward. He also said that if Mrs. Wang could get her hands on the soap recipe, she would be able to share 40% of her money in the future. This business is naturally cost-effective, only one party will sit and collect forty percent of the profits if he doesn't do anything, this soap will definitely be sold all over the south of the Yangtze River with the power of the Xue family, just thinking about it feels good.
Mrs. Wang is also a smart person, and when she saw that this soap was so hot, her heart was naturally itchy, and it was not that she had never thought about the recipe. How can this Jia mother protect this recipe very well. Not to mention the remoteness of the place, the guards are strict, and the most important thing is that the people who work are illiterate mutes. It was in vain to send people to inquire several times by myself. Mrs. Wang had to temporarily put her thoughts away, but she still had a lot of complaints about Jia's mother. After all, this thing is Jia's mother's dowry, and it will be the same good livelihood for everyone in the future, much better than those dead objects. As a result, Mrs. Wang had no choice but to regain her flattery.
By the time Shi Fei'er learned about the Xue family's unauthorized price change, more than a month had passed. It was also a coincidence that this matter was learned, and the shopkeeper Lin, who was consigned to Jia Min's shop in Suzhou, happened to go to Yangzhou to buy goods. Because the soap business is very good, there is also a consignment shop in Yangzhou, and it is a relative of his own family, so he has to visit the door. The shopkeeper of the Xue family prepared a banquet, and after drinking a few more glasses, he shook out the Xue family's unauthorized price hike after drinking, not only that, but also complained that the Jia family didn't know how to do business, and he didn't know how to make a windfall with this good thing, which was really a tyrannical thing. By the way, because the quota is too small, the host wants to make some good fragrant pancreas and exchange two pieces in one box, so that the five boxes can make up one box. The shopkeeper of the Lin family was shocked to eat this meal, he was not good at running it in the first place, but the master family saw that he was honest, so he ordered this good errand. I am always concerned, for fear that I will not do well and spoil the business of the main family. Hearing that the Xue family was like this today, he didn't dare to say it openly when he was angry, so he immediately wrote a letter to Jia Min after returning to the inn, recording what he heard today, and ordered him to follow his buddies all the way to deliver the letter. Jia Min took the letter, and was also surprised, this old shopkeeper of the Lin family is the son of a family, and there are three generations in the Lin family, and he is the most honest, because of this, Jia Min ordered him to take care of this business, and what he said in this letter should be true. Jia Min was a little disdainful of the Xue family's unauthorized price increase, and he also had a shoddy heart, which was even more unbearable. But the Xue family is a relative of the second sister-in-law, and when this incident happened, she found out by herself, and she was afraid that Mrs. Wang would have a gap in her heart, so after thinking about it, she sent the original letter to Jia's mother and asked her mother to see for herself.
Shi Fei'er accepted the letter, and her lungs were about to explode. Originally, I thought that the Xue family might be better if it didn't reach Xue Pan's generation, but when I saw this today, I realized that this Xue family was really not as good as a generation, and this consignment could give birth to such a heart for profit. His Yangzhou shop has given up four points of profit, but he must be unbearable to end up with this result. But if they only rely on a letter to take back the consignment right, it is too cheap for them to go. If Mrs. Wang didn't know anything about this, she wouldn't be able to believe it, so Shi Fei'er had an idea after pondering for a while holding the teacup.
Time flies, like a white horse. Another season has passed in the blink of an eye. At first, she was afraid that the Xue family's fraud would break out, which would cause Jia's mother to be furious.
On this day, Mrs. Wang was called to the inner room by Jia's mother alone, sent all the subordinates out, closed the door again, pointed to the three neatly wrapped objects on the table, and said: "This is a good gift brought back from Jinling, Suzhou, and Yangzhou, and it was specially given to my daughter-in-law. β
Mrs. Wang was suddenly suspicious, but when she saw that Jia's mother was full of stern face, her attitude was resolute, and she didn't dare to slack off, so she wanted to step forward and unpack the package. The package was in her hand, Mrs. Wang knew that something was wrong, and the fire paint seal on the package was still pressed with the stamps of the three shops, and the package was torn open, and it was nothing else, it was the handmade soap that was consigned and sold, and there was a small strip on it with the time, amount, and name of the store on which the soap was bought.
Mrs. Wang was shocked but still forced a smile and said, "The old lady made fun of me, why did she buy our own soap from other places to give it to me?"
Shi Fei'er admired Mrs. Wang's calmness at this time, nodded and smiled: "You can open it and take a closer look." β
Mrs. Wang had to open the three packages according to her words, and only one shop in Yangzhou sold at a price that did not match the other two stores, and the price was one and a half times higher. Mrs. Wang secretly scolded in her heart, this Xue family didn't even tell her the truth. But at this time, he couldn't help but cover up for the Xue family's exit, and only then did he settle down and say: "Why is the price of this Yangzhou shop so high?
Shi Fei'er smiled: "Don't worry, you open it and take a closer look." β
Mrs. Wang had no choice but to open the box again, and prayed secretly in her heart, but this prayer was useless, and when she opened it, she saw that this box was different from the other two boxes, and two pieces of fragrant pancreas were mixed in it. Mrs. Wang stopped for a while, just looking at the box of soap.
