Ji Lan smiled embarrassedly, "Your sister Wang probably doesn't know that your cousin Cheng lives in our house, so she didn't post it, and everyone is familiar with it in the future, so there will be no such mistakes and omissions." ”

"No, last time when the ancestor had a big birthday, Sister Wang still saw Cousin Cheng." Shen Cui shook the post in his hand and said.

Ji Lan looked at Ji Cheng, who was not shocked, and sighed slightly in her heart, it is really more popular than people, it seems that she has to find a family member with a simple population when she shows Shen Cuixiang relatives, Lang Jun himself has a kind temper, and originally hoped that Shen Cui could marry and become a clan wife, but today it seems that she is also delusional.

"Ah Cheng, go back to the house to rest first, I'm tired after a day of school." Gilland.

Ji Cheng nodded, and left without saying much. As soon as she left, Ji Lan pulled Shen Cui over, "What are you girl doing when you say those words that stabbed your cousin?" ”

Shen Cui pursed his lips, "Tell me what's wrong?" It's not a character on the stage. ”

Ji Lan held her forehead weakly, a little annoyed, in the end, she still made a bad example of Shen Cui in her usual way, she had to pay attention in the future, "Do you think Wang Siniang looks down on your cousin Cheng, your own face is very bright, right?" ”

Shen Cui was stunned, and couldn't help pursing his lips, it was indeed not a long-faced thing, and it was all because Ji Cheng's background was too poor.

When Ji Lan saw Shen Cui's face, she couldn't get angry, "What do you look like?" I also dislike my mother's low background, isn't it? ”

Shen Cui said "oops", "Mother, what's wrong with you?" Every time you talk about your uncle and their family, you don't ......" with a look of disdain, but Shen Cui was smart this time, and he didn't dare to say anything more when he saw Ji Lan's face.

Ji Lan was angry and angry in her heart, but half of her anger was directed at herself, she really didn't expect that her complaints would accumulate over time, and she would let her daughter look down on herself and the family she came from. In fact, Ji Lan thought very simply, her family, her brother, she herself can be disdainful, but she is absolutely not allowed to say half a word, not to love them much, but purely to collapse her stage in front of outsiders.

"That's your uncle's house, your mother grew up there, if there is no me, there is no you, if you look down on them, don't be reincarnated in my belly if you have the ability." Ji Lan's voice began to sharpen.

Shen Cui is so old and rarely encounters her mother who has such a big temper with her, "Mother, what's wrong with you?" Just because of a Ji Cheng, you don't like me, and you think she is better than me everywhere, don't you? ”

Ji Lan's head is too big, and she can't tell Shen Cui clearly. "When did I say that you are not as good as Ji Cheng? Where are you not better than her from head to toe? What I'm talking about is that you didn't use your brain to figure it out, Ji Cheng is your cousin, and you can't change it at all. I don't care what you do to her in private, but in front of outsiders, if you look down on your cousin with others, you will look down on yourself and your mother. You think that if you do this, others will look down on you, and others will only look down on you more. Ji Lan said loudly, "You must know that in the eyes of others, she is your cousin, and she is a family with you." If you don't even look down on your own family, will others still look down on you? ”

Shen Cui is actually not a brainless person, when Ji Lan said this, she understood the truth, but she couldn't pull her face to admit her mistake for a while, but when she heard Ji Lan say that Ji Cheng couldn't compare to herself, she was much happier in her heart, and after thinking for a long time, she walked up and said, "Mother, I was wrong." ”

Ji Lan touched Shen Cui's head and sighed, "Ah Cui, don't be separated from your cousin, you are cousins, and you may have to support each other in the future." ”

Shen Cui sighed, but in her heart, she only felt that she needed Ji Cheng's support, and she was almost the same as supporting Ji Cheng. And even if Ji Cheng can marry into the high gate? It's not all about climbing the high branches of their Shen family, if their Shen family doesn't take her in, she can only stay in Jincheng for the rest of her life where birds don't.

In fact, Ji Lan and Shen Cui have the same thoughts, they both ignore Ji Cheng, they only feel that Ji Cheng owes them a great favor, if they are affectionate and righteous, they should be beaten and scolded, and they should be repaid by being a cow and a horse.

Having said that, where can Ji Lan's city house Shen Cui compare, she slapped Ji Cheng to a red date, lifted and pulled, the thread was in her hand, and she was free to retract and release. And Shen Cui is a fluged head, Ji Lan was afraid that she and Ji Cheng would be too stiff, so she persuaded her hard, "If your cousin marries in Beijing, it is really difficult to say what will happen in the future, don't bully the young man to be poor." Besides, your father and I are not good at running a business, even if we get a lot of shops from your uncle, but it is thanks to their family that you can have a good dowry in the future. ”

"I know, mother." Shen Cui responded.

Ji Lan's words are indeed right, although she took a lot of shops from her brother, but she did not have the right people to run them, so she still belonged to the Ji family's shopkeeper, and only received dividends every year, which was also a large amount of income, and what she didn't know was that most of these shops were now in Ji Cheng's hands.

Ji Cheng's eldest brother Ji Yuan is the hope of the whole family, he buries himself in hard study all day long, and he doesn't ask about the shop at all, her second brother Ji Ze is a reckless character, and many important things can't be handed over to him to do, and Ji Cheng's younger sister and younger brother are still young and can't bear it, and her father Ji Qing has no choice but to explain many things to Ji Cheng's daughter.

Ji Qing also often sighs, it would be good if Ji Cheng was a man, so that her eldest brother studied hard to reach the officialdom, and she ran the Ji family's business, then the Ji family would definitely prosper.

――

The next day, the school was closed, and Ji Cheng took leave in front of Ji Lan and returned to Ji's house in the capital to clean up. Although Ji Cheng now lives in the Shen family, it is still very easy to buy a three-entry house in the capital with the financial resources of the Ji family, which is prepared for Ji Yuan to stay in Beijing in the future, if Ji Yuan fails to enter the office, it can also be used as Ji Cheng's dowry in the future. Ji Qing occasionally came to the capital and lived in that house.

Now this is the place where Ji Cheng listened to the report of the shopkeeper of the Gyeonggi shop for the time being. These young people's health is getting worse and worse, and their energy is also lacking, basically the power is in Ji Cheng's hands, and he only focuses on raising Ji Yuan's eldest son at home, and only hopes that this grandson can support the Ji family's business in the future.

Because of this, the shopkeepers didn't dare to snub this eldest lady who was in charge of the Ji family at the age of thirteen, and this eldest lady was sharp-eyed, and no matter how real the fake account came to her, it was bound to show its original form, plus she was ruthless at a young age, and she was not affectionate at all, but it was more difficult to serve than Master Ji. However, this eldest lady is also very generous, as long as she has the ability in her hands, the days will definitely be more and more prosperous, and she is more decent than the average boss. Therefore, people who are willing to do things are very willing to work under her.

In the morning, Ji Cheng checked the accounts in the house, looked at the account books of more than 20 shops in Ji Lan's hand, and said to the shopkeeper Mei: "Now that there are more and more contacts between the Western Regions and my dynasty, the shopkeeper Mei wants to send you to the west to make a start, and it is not easy for us to get involved in the business in the south, and the northwest line is our main line, and we must be stronger, otherwise we will be accused by others of the line in time, and we can only eat according to the eyes of others." "The west of Ji Cheng's mouth is not Dunhuang and Zhangye, but the countries of Qiuzi, Shule, Tocharo, Tianzhu and other countries further west.

Mei Changhe didn't expect Ji Cheng to suddenly mention this matter, "Then what about the six shops in my hand?" How can my aunt and grandmother explain it? ”

"Actually, my aunt has long been worried about leaving the shop in our hands. Didn't you train some people for her? Ji Cheng said.

"But they haven't graduated yet." Mei Changhe said.

"You haven't given them the opportunity to take charge of themselves, so how do you know if they can be a teacher?" Ji Cheng smiled, but he thought in his heart that it would be better if he couldn't be a teacher. Ji Lan now has silver in his hand and a backer behind him, so his posture is high.

Ji Cheng didn't mind adding a little blockage to her aunt, letting her know that the Ji family was not just her to handle, otherwise Ji Lan would have developed a habit of treating the people of the Ji family as subordinates.

Ji Cheng knew in her heart that she owed Ji Lan a favor, and she would naturally repay her kindness, but she must not be used to Ji Lan like the emperor. In fact, Ji Cheng can also figure out what Ji Lan is in her heart, that is, on the one hand, she wants to win herself over for her use, but on the other hand, she wants to tame herself and make herself obedient to her. But Ji Cheng's temperament has been raised in the past few years, how can he stand Ji Lan's set.

Mei Chang and He Ren also immediately heard that Ji Cheng wanted the people of the Ji family to quit Ji Lan's shop, "I understand." Miss, it's just that I'm going to the west alone, and I may not have enough manpower. ”

Ji Cheng likes smart people like Mei Changhe, "Then I'll send you a few more assistants." Without saying a word, Ji Cheng pointed out the few shopkeepers who ran the shop for Ji Lan.

"But on my aunt's side, we can't just leave, you guys work harder, give the people below some opportunities in the past or two months, let my aunt see their abilities, and naturally let you go." Ji Cheng smiled.

Mei Changhe and the others looked at the smile on Ji Cheng's lips and hurriedly said, "This is natural." "They are all smart people, and they instantly understood what Ji Cheng meant, and the straw bales that took over had to be decorated with gold and jade, so Ji Lan was willing to let these shopkeepers go.

"Don't say that you are going to the West to open a new shop, you have found excuses to say, so as not to resentful of our aunt in the future. In fact, the shop is already hers, and it's not a matter for us to manage it all the time, and she doesn't feel comfortable. Ji Cheng said.

"Don't worry, the little ones know what to say." Mei Changhe said.

They are all smart people, and they don't have to be thorough.
