Chapter 11 The shopkeeper surnamed Sun
Whether the shopkeeper Sun of the cloth workshop secretly filled the silver obtained from the cloth workshop without telling the Xiao family, even if it is not clear to check, everything he saw in the teahouse alone was enough to test Xiao Chu's doubts.

The business of this Xiao family's cloth workshop is not bad, not only is it not bad, according to Xiao Chuxuan's opinion, this shopkeeper Sun is still a master who is good at doing business. It's a pity that after the old man of the Xiao family passed away, for her, the new head of the family, it was obvious that the old shopkeeper of the cloth workshop didn't want to take it to heart at all. Not only did he not look at himself squarely, but he even regarded himself as a monkey played by a playman, openly and secretly.
Indeed, Xiao Chusu in the past was not a piece of business material, just dealing with the few uncompetitive brothers in the family was enough to work hard. However, the current Xiao Chu is not the soft and soft head of the Xiao family before, and dares to peep at her things under her nose, if she doesn't make a statement, I'm afraid that some shopkeepers in the Xiao family's industry will soon forget what the surname of their shop is.
Shopkeeper Sun secretly tried to deceive himself, which was really annoying, and as Xiao Chusu looked at the teahouse for a long time, Xiang Zhu also saw some doorways. After returning home, he said about this matter: "This shopkeeper Sun usually looks loyal and honest, but he didn't expect that he has such calculations in his bones, and he loses money and profits every year, so he is full of private pockets." It's a shame that the eldest lady still believed in him like that before, and felt that he was the old shopkeeper next to the master, and he also grew up watching the eldest lady grow up, so he has always believed in his words. But now it seems that knowing people and knowing faces is really incomprehensible, this shopkeeper Sun actually took advantage of the trust of the eldest lady to secretly carry out such hateful things. ā
The more he talked, the more he felt a little angry, although he was a little angry in his heart, but after all, Xiang Zhu had been by Xiao Chusu's side for a long time, and he had also passed the age of playfulness, so he only said with anger, but he didn't show it very clearly. Xiang Zhu was angry about everything that Shopkeeper Sun went down in private, but Xiao Chu was stunned, and he didn't say a word since he returned to the house, sitting on the chair and raising his hand to support his cheeks, not knowing what he was thinking.
Xiao Chu's silence made Xiang Zhu feel a little confused, and immediately looked at it, Xiang Zhu said, "Miss, what are you thinking?" ā
"Shopkeeper Sun."
"Shopkeeper Sun? Isn't it the matter of Sun's shopkeeper embezzling money and silver? This shopkeeper Sun is really hateful, and this trip is unbearable. ā
"Naturally, I can't bear it, the business of this cloth shop looks booming, and I have been in charge for five or six years. Since I started running my family, the business of this cloth mill has been losing every year, and it has been losing money every year, especially in the past two years, and it can only be held at a loss. Flat loss? Hmph, looking at it now, it looks like a loss is even. I have been ignoring it for five or six years, but I don't know how many taels of silver this shopkeeper has moved from the cloth workshop in the past five or six years. ā
"The amount of these taels of silver is considerable."
"yes!" With a long sigh, he changed his posture and changed to support it with his other hand, Xiao Chu said: "The Xiao family is crumbling, he is very rich there, and the five or six years of hiding his smuggling is probably an extremely considerable amount." This shopkeeper Sun is the old man next to his father, as the so-called cold lips and teeth die, the Xiao family has now come to the side, I think this shopkeeper Sun should not be stingy, no matter what, I have to think of ideas to help the owner bear this catastrophe. ā
"Survived this catastrophe? What do you mean, Miss? Do you want the shopkeeper Sun to spit out the silver taels that have been privately transferred in the past five or six years? ā
"Private transfer, it is a private transfer, since I am done and returned to Zhao, but I am not that heartless, this Sun shopkeeper does his best for the Xiao family, how can he let people live a prosperous and free life in his old age. Oh yes, Xiang Zhu, let me ask you something, how is the relationship between this shopkeeper Sun and my father? ā
"Friendship?" After thinking about it for a while, Xiang Zhu said: "I have heard my father say that this shopkeeper Sun and the master have also been friends with fate, and it was the master who rescued him, so that the shopkeeper Sun was able to take refuge and escape." The grandson shopkeeper has been following the master, doing some business for the master, if it is a friendship, not only a decades of old friendship, but also the grandson of the shopkeeper's life-saving benefactor. ā
"I see, it makes sense."
"Miss? What makes sense? ā
"That's why the cloth mill has been losing money every year, neither making a profit, nor losing a silver tael." She was still thinking about this place, but now it seems to be clear. Although this shopkeeper Sun doesn't look down on her as the master, he still thinks of Master Xiao's kindness in his heart, so he is not outrageously greedy, but he has kept the silver taels that the cloth workshop has obtained in the past few years.
Shopkeeper Sun still remembered Master Xiao's kindness back then, and with this in mind, Xiao Chuxuan had a plan in his heart. Changed her posture again and changed her other hand, Xiao Chu's lips smiled directly, but the faint smile she showed made people feel that she had taken measures in her heart. Looking at the faint smile on the corner of Xiao Chu's lips, Xiang Zhu couldn't help but ask softly.
"Miss, do you have a way?"
"Method? There really is! ā
"Really, what is the eldest lady going to do?"
"Of course, it's moved by emotion and reasoned."
"This?" Xiao Chu's words were really fascinating, and Xiang Zhu, who was careless and clear, couldn't help but say again: "Move with affection, know with reason?" What do you mean, Miss? ā
"What do you mean? Heh, you'll find out in a few days. But then again, this grandson shopkeeper is also old, and he has worked hard with his father all his life, and now it is time to enjoy the blessings. ā
Although Xiao Chusu had a countermeasure for the matter of the cloth workshop, he was not in a hurry to take action, but passed a few days plainly. Xiao Chusu didn't move, Xiang Zhu was naturally waiting, it was on this day that Xiao Chuzhu suddenly called Xiang Zhu, and then left Xiao Mansion and went to the cloth workshop.
The head of the family came in person, and he should have informed the shopkeeper in advance, but now Xiao Chusu came suddenly, and he didn't mention it in advance, so there was no one in the cloth workshop and other people.
led Xiangzhu slowly to the cloth workshop, Xiao Chu was not in a hurry to enter, but watched from the stall some distance away from the cloth workshop. If the courtyard is like a city, from time to time there are guests to come to the door, and the guys in the cloth workshop are also diligent, shouting and greeting a few times from time to time, leading the guests into the workshop to choose cloth.
After carefully examining it from a distance for a long time, Xiao Chuxuan said: "It seems that this shopkeeper Sun is not only good at business, but even the guys who have been taught can support the scene alone." ā
"Although this shopkeeper is hateful, my father said that he is indeed a rare talent."
"Uncle Lian? Since Uncle Lian has said it, there must be something extraordinary. Okay, let's stop looking here, go up and have a look. After speaking, he glanced at Xiangzhu, and then walked towards the cloth workshop.
As soon as he reached the edge of the cloth workshop, before he could turn around, he saw a fellow walking down with a smile on his face, and the fellow said with a smile: "This young lady, do you want to go into the cloth workshop to see the fabric?" Our Xiao Ji Cloth Workshop is one of the best cloth workshops in Kyoto, and many dignitaries and nobles only ask for the materials of my family's workshop. The young lady also went in to take a look, and maybe she could take a look at a few horses. ā
"Oh? The dignitaries and nobles in Kyoto only point out the materials they want from your family? ā
"Exactly, don't think that the little me is bragging, the little me, what I say is the truth. If you don't believe it, Miss, you can take the time to enjoy your face and take a look, as long as you look at my family's materials, Miss Zhun will not feel that what I just said is a nonsense. Miss knows at a glance that she is a nobleman, and her vision must be first-class, and it is precisely because Miss knows at a glance that she is not a girl from a layman's family, so Miss wants to go to my cloth workshop to take a look. My cloth workshop, just a few days into a batch of new materials, the silk surface, not to mention how smooth it feels, Miss and other celestials, if you can buy a new tailor, then it will be like a fairy. ā
This guy speaks smoothly, and good words jump out one sentence after another as if they are not bad for money. This said smoothly, and when it came to the last sentence, he seemed to feel that he had said something wrong, and hurriedly snorted a few times in a row, and then raised his hand and slapped himself, and said with a smile: "Bah, look at my mouth, Miss is a fairy-like character, but if you can wear the clothes made by my cloth workshop, I am afraid that you will have to be immortal." ā
There is no one who doesn't like to listen to pleasant words, and this fellow, the words he says are not only smooth to the ear, but also does not make people feel harassed by the disciples, but he is also a pleasant person. The pestle was there listening to the guy, and Xiao Chu smiled.
Although he didn't move, this guy didn't plan to give up, but continued to use his three-inch tongue to try to bring her in. Just when this guy tried his mind to continue to persuade, the shopkeeper Sun who was in charge of the cloth workshop happened to come out, and this person just came out to see Xiao Chusu standing at the door. After a sudden pause, he calmed down, and then hurriedly stepped forward, and walked to Xiao Chusu, and the shopkeeper Sun said busily.
"I didn't know that the eldest lady was here, but I didn't greet her, and I hope that the eldest lady is not strange."
