The steward was puzzled by Chu Yiyao's decision, "Madam, it's enough to recruit people after a while, why do you want to close the shop." ”

Chu Yiyao picked up the pen and ticked it on the paper, "If you recruit people again, you can ensure that you won't be secretly poached, and besides, this old person can be poached, and the new one can stay as long as he wants." ”

The steward paused, "What if other shops are like this." ”

"He's in the dark, we're in the light, we don't need to worry about it if he shelters so many guys, these shops will be subleased if they still have a lease period, and our own will be cleared and rented out, the batch demolished at the Crescent River Bazaar is worrying about nowhere to go, and they will rent it at a higher price." Chu Yiyao took the abacus and made a call, so in addition to earning a little less, it is absolutely impossible to lose.

Chu Yiyao cleaned up all the shops that were excavated by the shopkeepers with lightning speed, and then posted all the rental notices before the fifteenth lantern festival, so that after the liquidation, Chu Yiyao took care of more than a dozen shops at once.

She is worried that she is pregnant now that she can't take care of so much, someone wants to suppress her and let her invest more, she is unsatisfactory, she simply rents it out, no matter whether the business is good or bad, she is not afraid of who will suppress her if she takes a rent, and by the way, she can also see which person is so generous and can raise such a large group of people.

Chu Yiyao's move did not have the slightest impact on the fifteenth lantern festival, after the lively lantern festival passed, Chu Yiyao's shops were rented away, those merchants didn't mind the rent being higher by 20%, the shops in this area were all rushed by many people, who was reluctant to give out the silver behind the more people to follow.

It seems that he didn't expect Chu Yiyao to close all the shops so simply, and there was no movement to poach people for three consecutive months, and the rest of the shops were doing business safely and steadily, and no one came to suppress and make trouble.

In April, Chu Yiyao was eight months pregnant, and the Sangtian Palace had been built for a year.

Chu Yiyao was physically inconvenient and couldn't go to Shen's house anymore, but the decoction sent to Old Man Shen couldn't be broken, and after discussing with Shen Shixuan, his mother would send it for a while, and then Shen Shixuan would go on his behalf after Chu Yiyao gave birth.

In the house, Shen Shixuan was pinching her legs, this baby had a much bigger belly than when she was pregnant with Kang'er, and when she was more than seven months old, Chu Yiyao was a little tired when she walked, and now her legs are often swollen.

"Almost, I'll go for a walk in the yard later." Chu Yiyao asked him not to press it, and showed him the bookstall in his hand, "I remember that this Jianxing Palace has to use a lot of wood." ”

Shen Shixuan pinched her cheek amusedly, "Is it too late for you to think about it now." ”

Chu Yiyao pursed her lips, "The Shen family was out of the limelight at the dinner that day, so it was difficult that I didn't take it down." ”

Shen Shixuan shook his head, "The wood for this palace is all provided by the Bai family. Chu Yiyao was stunned, their surnames were white, could it be that there was a relationship that others didn't know.

"Sangtiana and Huizhou are also close, can't the branch even eat this fat meat, and the timber business is in vain." Chu Yiyao sneered, the cooperation between the two families was not in unison, but now that they are looking at the benefits and each wants to make profits, it is no wonder that they can't get the benefits even if they are out of the limelight.

"That wood is not the kind of Huizhou, a lot of it is transported from Yubei." Shen Shixuan saw her thoughts, "The Bai family has been walking the road for many years, and they are much more familiar than the other three, which is also well-deserved. ”

Chu Yiyao grabbed his arm and said excitedly, "So, Bai Jingming also has a share?" ”

Shen Shixuan scratched her nose and smiled, "That's the Bai family's business, how can it be shared with us, think too much." ”

Chu Yiyao muttered, "We can also get good wood, and we have given him so much land, isn't it good at all, it's too deductible." ”

No matter how much this temperament changes, it can't change the careful plan of greedy for money, Shen Shixuan looked at her helplessly, "It's almost born, you still want to toss." ”

Chu Yiyao stretched out his leg and kicked him lightly, "That is also the day when I was born, since the business in Huizhou is so bad, the eldest brother has not closed the branch, and the Shen family is not a family with a lot of money, so he can fill the bottomless pit at will." "In the end, maybe it's all cheap.

"If it's closed, how can it be compared to ours." also took about the same amount of silver, and also cooperated with others, Shen Shixuan is prosperous, and there is indeed bad luck over there, how can he not support it, this comparison result came out, where would Shen Shijin be willing.

"Being able to bend and stretch is a big husband." Chu Yiyao made a heartfelt judgment, "He is not willing to suffer a small loss, he will definitely suffer a big loss in the future!" ”

Chu Yiyao's words came out, and it came true after a month.

After the business of the branch in Huizhou declined, he didn't help it up, and the old man saw that the momentum was not right, so he directly withdrew the people from Huizhou, and after withdrawing the people, he wanted to withdraw the silver.

But now the branch in Huizhou only has a loss, where is the silver withdrawn, Master Shui has the idea of asking Shen Shijin to buy back half of the equity he has, so that the family can dominate and make his own decisions about everything.

Shen Shijin is not a fool, how could he not see the intentions of Master Shui, he did not agree to Master Shui's withdrawal of the silver, and when he saw that he had withdrawn all the people, he directly sent people to Huizhou himself.

But that's already a big loophole, how to fill it with a few unfamiliar people.

So, in order to keep the branch in Huizhou, Shen Shijin took out the 50,000 taels of silver from the bank.

This kind of behavior of having to hit the south wall is very opposed to Lord Shen, failure is failure, Huizhou is the first to try, so many people have not succeeded in the past, and now this is not unexpected.

But Shen Shijin is unwilling, obviously he was very good at the beginning, if he closes the branch, wouldn't it be equivalent to coming back in disgrace and completely losing to the second brother.

In the end, Shen Shijin still smashed the 50,000 taels of silver into it, which is indeed a lot of money, and the branch in Huizhou has this large amount of silver, and everything below can be operated, and he is not afraid of being suppressed by the shop.

Shen Shijin's mood rose a lot.

And although Chu Yiyao knew the news, she couldn't take care of it, and on June 16, her stomach began to hurt.

Chu Yiyao was afraid that it would not go well when she was born, so she walked around the house for a while, and her stomach was only faintly painful, and it was not until the second half of the night that the feeling of swelling hit.

It was still that Mother Xu, who was invited, and seeing that the amniotic fluid had not yet broken, she asked Chu Yiyao to eat something to store her strength, until she was in pain and couldn't walk anymore before she lay down on the bed, and just after lying down, the amniotic fluid broke.

A fishy smell wafted in the house, and the lights outside the house were bright, and Shen Shixuan was stamping back and forth in the courtyard, this time it was much longer than the last one.

There was a muffled snort in the room from time to time, and his heart was hanging, Shen Shixuan looked up at the sky, and in the dark night, the round moon hung quietly, as if he wanted to give him peace.

Chu Yiyao's screams of pain gradually became louder, the first child Kang'er was not small, this one had a bigger belly, and Wen Po continued to guide her under her, Chu Yiyao felt that the lower half of her body was numb and unconscious.

"Come, take this." Mother Xu took a piece of ginseng and dipped it in warm water and put it at the bottom of her tongue, the thick smell of medicine overflowed in her mouth, and Chu Yiyao seemed to feel a force.

The east gradually turned white, and the Guan family in the side room couldn't stay stunned, and walked out to look at the delivery room, half an hour passed, and the sky was slightly bright.

Chu Yiyao finally shouted, and not long after, the cry of a baby came from inside.

Guan's face was full of joy, and he said Amitabha Buddha again and again, "It's good to be born safely, it's good to be born safely." ”

Shen Shixuan helped her to the door, Wen Po walked out with the child in her arms, and gently lifted the quilt to show them, "Congratulations, Madame, it's a little young lady." ”

"Yo, it's a fat girl." Guan Shi looked at the fleshy body and smiled, and the stable woman looked at her face and added, "There are seven catties and eight taels." ”

Guan Shi listened even more happily, took the child from Wen Po's hand, and showed it to Shen Shixuan, "It's heavier than Kang'er, it's really a fat girl, you go and see Yiyao, giving birth to such a baby, but it's exhausting for her." ”

Shen Shixuan hurriedly entered the house, the smell of blood was still very strong, and Mother Xu was wiping her sweat for Chu Yiyao.

Shen Shixuan held her hand and kissed her hand on the lips, "I'm glad you." ”

Chu Yiyao shook her head, now that she was born, she didn't feel hard, she just felt sleepy and tossed all night.

"You get a good night's sleep, and when you wake up, you can see the child." Shen Shixuan touched her face, but Chu Yiyao didn't reply to him, and directly squinted his eyes and fell asleep

When she woke up again, it was already afternoon, and the house was much more refreshing, and Mother Xu saw that she was awake, fed her some rice wine, and called the nurse to bring the child over.

Chu Yiyao This is the first time she has seen this little girl, at first Shen Shixuan said that she would be suspicious, but now she has seen it with her own eyes, heh, she is really a fat girl.

It is much more gratifying than when Kang'er was born, there is no wrinkled appearance of a newborn child, the little things are nested in swaddling clothes, and the face is round and round, and it is still red.

Chu Yiyao just reached out and touched her mouth, and she subconsciously opened her mouth to eat.

Chu Yiyao smiled, "Dare is a snack, what can I do, no one will want to gain weight in the future." ”

The little girl also smacked her mouth twice, seeing that there was nothing in her mouth, her brows were furrowed, and she looked like she was about to cry, and the nurse hugged her, as if she smelled the smell of milk, she was quieter, but the mouth was still moving, begging for food.
