The afternoon passed quickly, and during this time, Shen Moyun finally met the two shopkeepers of her mother Qin Lan's dowry shop.

Back then, when Qin Lan and Shen Mu got married, it was the peak of the Qin family.

Qin Lan's father, Qin Qiong, was serving as a cabinet scholar at the time, and was one of the most proud people in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.

The only daughter got married, and Qin Qiong, who had a rich ancestral property at that time, took out a farm in Jinling's hometown, and set up a farm of several hundred acres in the suburbs of Beijing, bought three shops in the capital, and prepared thirty-six dowries for Qin Lan as a dowry.

These thirty-six dowries don't look much, but half of them are ancient books of calligraphy and painting, and at that time, Shen Mu's eyes were straight and his heart was beating faster!

But who knew that Qin Qiong's bachelor didn't last long, so he took the initiative to resign for some reason.

Suddenly lacking the strong support of her in-laws, and Qin Lan had been pregnant, the old lady shifted her mind to her daughter-in-law's marriage.

After the old lady cried, made trouble, and hanged herself, Qin Lan, who was at home, not only sold the Zhuangzi and part of the dowry in the suburbs of Beijing, gritted her teeth and bought the East Garden, and even sold a shop to subsidize the family......

As a result, there are only two shops left by Qin Lan today.

One is the "Jin Ruixiang" silk village that Shen Moyun passed by when he went to Shen Ling's "Jinshanghua", and the other is a pen and ink shop called "Mo Xiangzhai".

Since the old lady had already said that she would return these two shops to herself, Shen Moyun unceremoniously ordered the shopkeepers of these two houses to bring the account books of the past two years to see her!

Originally, she wanted four years of account books, but considering the old lady's face, she changed it to two years. How much difference it made between four or two years, she just wanted to see what the problem was.

Because she had long heard that her two shops had suffered a terrible loss, and it was almost difficult to maintain them anymore. Shen Moyun guessed, probably this is also an important reason why the old lady is very willing to return the two shops to herself, right?

To say, there have been no large-scale wars in the Great Zhou Dynasty in recent years, and there have been no natural disasters**. The people basically live and work in peace and contentment, and economic development is also good. Shen Fu and the old lady's shop are almost not operating at a loss, only their own two are an exception.

Therefore, if there is no cat here, it is impossible to believe that Shen Moyun is killed!

After inquiry. She also learned that in order to look good on the old lady's face, in the past four years, the shopkeepers of the two shops have not been replaced, and they are all the people left by Qin Lan back then.

To say that the old lady is really smart, as long as there are these two shopkeepers in those two shops. blocked outsiders' speculation about her greed for her daughter-in-law's property. At most, it can only be said that the incompetence of the two shopkeepers actually destroyed most of the master's shop! In the final analysis, it was the result of the improper employment of the dead daughter-in-law!

I just don't know, is the dismal operation of the store the two shopkeepers eating inside and out, filling their own pockets, or the two shopkeepers are just decorations, in fact, they have long been hollowed out? Or have these two been used by others and are slowly emptying the shop?

Before the time came, Shen Moyun met with the two shopkeepers in the foreign affairs room.

Both shopkeepers are in their fifties. Shen Moyun was not overly hypocritical, and only ordered her mother-in-law to erect a simple small screen in front of her to cover it a little.

I don't know if the two shopkeepers are sincere or fake, but after seeing Shen Moyun, they all burst into tears, sighing and sighing for a long time.

Shen Moyun just took the two stacks of ledgers and flipped them up at random, but he didn't know if he didn't look at them, and he was really shocked when he saw them.

The situation of the two shops is indeed worrying, not only the activity funds on the books are stretched, but the sales performance is unbearable.

Even through the screen, the two shopkeepers could feel Shen Moyun's gnashing of teeth. Full of rage.

The shopkeeper of the pen and ink shop hurriedly spoke: "Girl, the account of our ink incense shop is indeed not very good-looking, but unfortunately there are too many pen and ink shops in the capital in recent years, and the supply exceeds demand." It's really hard to do! Coupled with the low-price competition of those small shops, the price of the goods has increased by several percent compared with previous years, which makes the whole market not good! So, the slaves are also doing their best!"

Shen Moyun snorted coldly, and glanced at the tall shopkeeper! This guy was full of oil and nonsense. This is to deceive her as a child! What kind of supply exceeds demand? What kind of vicious competition? Even if it is true, just looking at this month's account book, she dares to pat her chest and affirm that this is a fake account!

It stands to reason that her ink shop is in the downtown area, and there are many inns and hotels around!

No matter what their family background is, this ink can be brought from their hometown, but the paper must be used in large quantities, right? Even the poor grandson knew that he had to buy paper and make paintings to sell.

Take the small town inn where she rested before returning home, for example, there were many scholars who were rushing to take the exam at this time, which led to the prosperity of several pen and ink shops around the inn. What's more, the bustling city at the foot of the Son of Heaven!

Even if you don't say that the growth has doubled, there should be a significant increase in sales of paper alone in the recent month. But according to this account, this month's rice paper sales are almost the same as last month, so miserable that there is almost no profit.

This high shopkeeper who is full of nonsense, I'm afraid it's useless!

The shopkeeper of "Jin Ruixiang" Silk Village is surnamed Yu, and he stepped forward at this moment: "The situation of our Silk Village is not good these days, but after all, this month is before the New Year's Festival, and the sales profit has still increased." The girl can see this month's sales from the top to the bottom of the third ledger!"

Why don't you put this month's ledger at the top?

Shen Moyun glanced at the shopkeeper through the embroidery screen, and saw that the man was extremely respectful, with a sincere face and a look of hope.

Shen Moyun took out the account book he said, and a small note appeared on the first page, leaving these words on it:

Girl Ann! Accounts, I hope to talk to the girl privately!

Shen Moyun couldn't help but be stunned.

Is there something unspeakable? Or is there any secret that no one can know?

Shen Moyun's face turned over indifferently, and he was so cold that he said:

"The two shopkeepers have worked hard! These ledgers are left here, I want to look through them! You used to be my mother's right-hand man, and you have worked hard all these years! Now that I have returned, these accounts must pass through my hands every month, and it is useless to talk about them now, so you go down first!"

Saying that, Shen Moyun accepted the note, and then instructed Hui Xin to prepare two purses, each stuffed with five taels of silver, which was regarded as a reward for the two shopkeepers. It's just that in the purse given to the shopkeeper, Shen Moyun put an extra piece of paper and informed him to meet at the Fulai Teahouse in Beicheng tomorrow afternoon.

This is so troublesome to the shopkeeper to hand her a note, thinking that this matter cannot be known, and must be an important matter. Anyway, tomorrow I have to return the hairpin to the ice cube face, so I will go to see this shopkeeper by the way!
