Chapter 128: The Narrow Road
It turned out that Jinxiuxuan had encountered an unprecedented financial crisis recently. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The store's first purchase channel was affected by the war, and then the cost of the supply was raised, and Cheng Rui had no choice but to reduce the inventory.
However, the inventory was quickly used up, and the funds in the store were already in deficit, so Cheng Rui wanted to see if he could find the source of goods and funds from other channels.
Unexpectedly, the other shops in the capital were not only not affected, but also united to boycott Jinxiuxuan.
Fairview Xuan's business plummeted, and then it became what it is now.
In the past few days, Rui has been looking for sources of goods and customers outside, and this is the only guy on duty in the store.
Shen He listened to the guy's words, and her heart was also a little anxious, she didn't understand why those shops had to unite in vain, which was a bit unreasonable, because the most competitive and influential store in the capital was not Jinxiuxuan.
If the Fairview Pavilion is closed, it will not have much impact on the other stores, so there is no need for them to target the Fairview Pavilion.
I can only wait for Cheng Rui to come back and discuss the reasons and countermeasures.
Shen He waited until the afternoon before Cheng Rui returned.
Seeing that it was Shen He, who had not been seen for many days, Cheng Rui was very happy, but his face instantly became a little gloomy.
Recently, these things happened in the store, Cheng Rui didn't tell Shen He, first, he knew that Shen He was about to get married, and he didn't want to trouble her, and at the same time, he felt that Shen He knew, and it was just to increase his troubles, and there was no way to save her.
But now seeing that Shen He has been waiting for him to come back, she knows that the guy must have told her everything.
He didn't want to hide it anymore, so he told Shen He the truth about the matter.
Now Shen He raised his own question, why would those shops target Jinxiuxuan for no reason?
Cheng Rui's face froze after hearing this, and Shen He knew that there must be something hidden, so he asked the reason.
Cheng Rui had no choice but to mention that there was a shop that was good with him and reminded him that he was a person in the palace.
After hearing this, Shen He understood, besides An Ruoshui, who else would target her so much?
It's just that now that Lu Yu is no longer in the capital, she has no other way, but when she heard Cheng Rui say that the capital turnover could not be solved, she suddenly thought of the few golden cakes she brought from Yong'an City.
After coming to the capital, these gold cakes were brought to Lu Mansion by her, and they have not been used, and now the gang of thieves has long since disappeared, and Yong'an City is far away from the emperor, and there is not so much contact with the capital, why not take out the gold cakes to solve the urgent need?
Thinking of this, Shen He immediately told Cheng Rui that he could provide him with a part of the silver taels, so he didn't have to worry too much for the time being.
When he returned to the mansion, Shen He immediately took out the gold and sent it to Jinxiuxuan the next day.
Cheng Rui was startled when he saw so much gold at first sight, and hurriedly asked where Shen He came from?
Shen He was inconvenient to tell him the truth, only said that it was the property left by his parents, Cheng Rui thanked Shen He after hearing it, so that the problem of the supply of goods was solved, Shen He also put his mind at ease, and told Cheng Rui to find a trustworthy person to buy the goods, and then returned to Lufu.
Back in the house, Shen He went to see the old lady again.
Lu Yu left, and the old lady was also in a low mood, and her face was a little brighter when she saw Shen He coming.
Seeing that the Spring Festival is coming, there are still many things to be busy in the house, Shen He wanted to ask if there was anything that could help, but the old lady asked her not to worry about these, just make some girls' daughters or something, and use them when she married Lu Yu.
Shen He pretended to be shy after hearing this, but her heart was a little desolate, she didn't know what Lu Yu would do at the border pass, and whether the result this time would be different from her previous life, thinking of this, she made a decision.
She told the old lady that after the New Year's Festival, she would go to the border to find Lu Yu.
The old lady was a little surprised when she heard this, but after thinking about it, it was also reasonable.
When he was young, he also went to the battlefield with his husband, and now Shen He went to the battlefield to find Lu Yu, why not?
It's just that the old lady told Shen He that the border is thousands of miles away, the road is far away, and the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, she is just a weak woman, and she doesn't know martial arts, how can she protect herself?
Shen He told the old lady that she was now protected by a martial arts master, and this person was the ink shadow left by Lu Yu.
When the old lady heard this, she was relieved and agreed.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Yu has been walking for half a month, and it is about to be Chinese New Year's Eve, the streets and alleys in the capital are hung with red lanterns, the joy of the New Year has not been diluted by the shadow of the war, and people are beaming on the road.
Shen He has been waiting for Lu Yu's letter, but he hasn't waited for a letter of words for half a month, Shen He only felt a little disappointed, but after thinking about it, Lu Yu's life and death are uncertain now, and he doesn't know what the battle situation is, and he is even more worried about Lu Yu's safety.
On the eve of Chinese New Year's Eve, Shen He did not wait for Lu Yu's letter, but waited for the imperial court's servants.
Lu Fuzhong was making new clothes in the garden at that time, this year Shen He not only cut two pieces for himself and Xiaocui, but also made one for the old lady, Chongning and Qiu Bao, so that the time was relatively rushed, so Shen He has not gone out for the past few days.
She was embroidering auspicious clouds on the old lady's clothes, when she saw several people walking in from the door, followed by the housekeeper in the house.
Shen He looked at a few people in surprise, not knowing what was going on.
The housekeeper said: "Miss Shen, these people are the officials of Ying Tianfu, and they said that there is a case that needs Miss Shen to go to the yamen for questioning."
Shen He was even more stunned after hearing this, the case? How could she be involved in the case?
So she asked, "I don't know what the case is?" ā
The official said: "Miss Shen knew since she went that the villain was only ordered to come, and she only knew when she met the adult." ā
Shen He had to follow the yamen, but Xiaocui felt a little wrong, why did she take the young lady to the yamen for no reason? When will I be able to come back after I go? The more Xiao Cui thought about it, the more frightened she became, so she went to find the old lady.
And Shen He followed the official to the yamen, and saw a familiar figure standing there, this person Shen He would never have thought that he would see her in the capital.
Seeing Shen He coming, she turned around and said with a smile: "Sister, I didn't expect it, we met again." ā
This person turned out to be Xinghua, who had been exiled.
How did Apricot Blossom get here?
Speaking of which, she should not have died.
In the penal colony, Xinghua first failed to escape many times, and then died.
Later, she gradually learned the local language and life, and after the end of her exile, she actually attached herself to a wealthy local merchant and became the concubine of the rich merchant.
This wealthy businessman came to the capital to sell tea in the past few days, and happened to meet Cheng Rui.
And when Cheng Rui took out the gold, Xinghua recognized the symbol of Yong'an City and County on it.
Xinghua heard Wu Changzhi say about the robbery of the bandits, so when she saw the gold, she became suspicious, and asked Cheng Rui which store he belonged to and who else was in the store.
After learning the name of the store, she first thought of Shen He.
