The death of the first emperor and the mourning of the whole country are nothing more than eating and fasting and wearing vegetarian clothes for ordinary people. Pen, fun, and pavilion www.biquge.info but the impact on the merchant is quite terrible, the number of New Year's goods prepared for the New Year is huge, and the missed season can only be tuned to next year. For a whole year, not to mention the manpower and material resources consumed to keep the warehouse, even if it is barely left until the next year, the color style is afraid that it is not fresh, and the selling price can recover the storage cost of this year, let alone the purchase cost.

The national funeral is full in January, and the three Linlang Pavilion, Tianyi Silk Village, and Vientiane Shop are the three that have the most inventory in this year. The general managers of the three have already counted the total number of hoarded goods in shops across the country, and are waiting in the VIP building with their account books.

Xi Cui knew the names of these three families.

Linlang Pavilion has seventeen branches in the Great Xia Kingdom, mainly engaged in gold, silver and jade, ceramics and jewelry. The New Year's Pass is a very business opportunity for Linlang Pavilion, and the income of the first month alone is worth half a year on weekdays. You don't have to think about it to know that the general manager of the Linlang Pavilion must have prepared enough inventory this year, and although there is no risk of obsolescence of these things, it is too expensive to store them. Especially now that the world is not very peaceful.

Not to mention the silk and satin villages, the plain satin fabrics are out of stock, and the bright ones are all backlogged. Fortunately, cloth is much more convenient to keep than gold, silver and jade.

Vientiane shop is the most headache, the New Year's festival with festive color lantern paper, ornaments, fireworks and firecrackers I don't know how much I save. These things are not needed at all on weekdays, and it is not worth saving them for the next year.

Xi Cui looked at Mama Wu with a sad face, even she thought of this, how could Mama Wu not think of it?

The three of them entered the private room. There were already three people waiting inside.

Mama Wu had seen two of them with Xi Cui before. On the left, he was wearing a dark blue robe and black brocade belt, looking like he was in his forties, and he had a goatee called Zhang Xun, who was in charge of the twenty-three semicolons of Tianyi Silk Village, and originally he had eight brocade pavilions in his hands, so that Aunt Yang could successfully deceive the brothers and sisters of the Liu family, he sacrificed.

Next to Zhang Xun sat a fat man with a fair face and a two-handful mustache. The man was dressed in a dark gray jacket with a silver-white slanted collar and a black felt hat with gold thread. At first glance, it really looks like a wealthy grandfather. His real name is Li Anyang, a very man's name, but this master speaks a little sissy, and he doesn't like others to call him his master on weekdays. Over time, everyone nicknamed him White Fat Man. He has been in charge of Linlang Pavilion for some years, and he was the first person to follow his wife.

Since the first two recognize him, the remaining one can naturally know who he is without guessing Xi Cui. Wang Yonglin, the chief manager of Vientiane Shop. This person had a thin face and deep eyes, and he sat there looking like a businessman who had been in a shopping mall for a long time, but now he stood up and bowed his hand to Xi Cui, and his burly figure was really surprising. Where this figure looks like a businessman, some people believe that he is a man who walks the rivers and lakes. Mama Wu said that this Wang Yonglin had followed Hou Ye to the battlefield before, and I don't know why he left the barracks later. I only know that this person is absolutely loyal to the Hou Ye and his wife, and after his wife sent him to manage the Vientiane Shop, he actually refused the family affairs arranged by his wife three times, saying that he had his own family and was afraid that he would not be able to control his selfishness, so he moved his mind that he should not move.

Xi Cui saluted the three of them and sat in the middle, with Mama Wu and Rui Niang sitting on both sides. This is what Mama Wu requested, since this burden will be handed over to Xi Cui sooner or later, Mama Wu will give Xi Cui a long face no matter when and where.

The three of them handed over the account book, because it was the general ledger, there was only one copy in the family, Xi Cui took a general look, and handed it to Rui Niang next to him. If she wants to eat the account book thoroughly in such a short time, Xi Cui asked herself if she didn't have that much ability. can't stand that there is a Rui Niang by her side, and Rui Niang can be regarded as an expert in this regard.

Xiao Yu has been following Xi Cui almost every step of the way recently. Of course, at this time, too.

In the interval when Rui Niang was looking at the account book, Xi Cui laughed and chatted with Zhang Xun and the white fat man about the recent situation, turning a blind eye to Wang Yonglin's inquiring gaze, and listening to Xiao Yi tell her what the three people thought of her. Zhang Xun went through the matter of Jinyi Pavilion last time, although he didn't say anything on his face, he was still uncomfortable in his heart, after all, he gave away eight shops that were making money for nothing, Zhang Xun didn't know Xi Cui's real plan, but as soon as she made a move, she came to a lot of losses, which really made him unconvinced.

This time I came with the account book, in fact, there is another deep meaning, that is, I want to see how Xi Cui is going to deal with it this time. It's not that he has any opinions about his wife, but he wants to weigh Xi Cui's catties through these few contacts.

The white fat man looks like the one with the most eyes in the center of the three, but in fact he is the least thoughtful of them. He has no opinion on Xi Cui, and now his brocade clothes and jade food are all given by his wife, so he should naturally take care of the things that his wife explains, as for who his wife wants to give his things to, it all depends on his own mind, and it is useless for him to bother with those thoughts that should not be in his hands.

Wang Yonglin is the most thoughtful of the three. He doesn't like Xi Cui, in his eyes Xi Cui is just a lowly slave, and he is obviously a brother who was born and died with Hou Ye, but now he wants him to obey orders with a little girl, how can he be convinced?

The expression on Xi Cui's face has not changed, but her heart has already been entangled, it is said that she will meet with these people once in half a year after she really takes over completely, and now these three people are already so troublesome, and one day there are really more than a dozen people with their own thoughts sitting in front of her, what should she do?

Rui Niang took a long time to read the account book, and their constant conversation was constantly disturbing her. Xi Cui called the shop guy to come over and prepared a room for Rui Niang next to him.

Mama Wu looked at Xi Cui and followed Rui Nian over, leaving Xi Cui to deal with these three people alone.

Xi Cui's head was hot, and she couldn't wait to grab the corner of Mama Wu's clothes.

"Doesn't the girl know how to read the ledger herself?" When Wang Yonglin saw Mama Wu walk away, he began to have no scruples about Xi Cui. Splitting the head and covering the face is such an embarrassing problem.

Xi Cui smiled and took a sip of tea, "Uncle Wang, it's not rude for me to call you Uncle Wang, we are all from the Hou Mansion and call something else." I'm really not familiar with the ledger, but to say that I can't do it at all would be to wronged me. I glanced at the account of our Vientiane shop, and the thirteen branches below us began to prepare for the New Year's goods in October last year. I haven't seen last year's account, so I'm not good at comparison, I can only see that our five branches in Jiangnan have purchased at most and are almost the same as eight in the six northern provinces, including the capital, and the total price should be more than 100,000 taels. The payment for the eight goods in the north has been settled, and the cash in your hand should not be enough for the five businesses in Jiangnan, but you still relied on good credit to get the goods first, and now you should be most worried about these arrears, right? I really can't tell how much it is at a glance, and we'll see the bottom when Rui Nian comes out in a while. Uncle Wang, your account book is not very kind, there are some places I really don't understand......" Xi Cui didn't even look at Wang Yonglin again, and drank tea leisurely.

Fortunately, with Xiao Yi by her side, she only needs to act according to what Xiao Yi said, otherwise she may not be really asked by Wang Yonglin at this moment. It seems that the ledger still has to be studied carefully, otherwise next time, if there is no little widow by his side, won't he be left with a dead end?

The account book sent by Wang Yonglin was indeed manipulated. He did start ordering the five branches in Jiangnan, because it was the old customer who set the deposit without paying the deposit. The original planned order volume was the same as last year, but this year, because he was in the north, he first signed the order contract of the eight branches in the north, and after paying for the goods, the cash was already stretched. Finally, according to the purchase volume of Jiangnan in previous years, the money was made up, and it was already in the month of returning to Jiangnan. However, because there was no contract here, the amount given by the supplier had exceeded the amount of previous years, and he bluntly said that the payment was tight and he thought that he would temporarily stop the purchase after signing the contract. But people said that they had rejected others for the sake of big customers like Vientiane Shop, and the semi-finished products in the workshop were all made by looking at Wang Yonglin's face, and if they said to stop, they would lose a lot. After some discussion, they finally reached an agreement, Vientiane Shop accepted their goods, but the payment was to be settled three months later.

Not long after the contract was signed, the old emperor died, Wang Yonglin couldn't break the contract immediately, fortunately, there was still no deficit in the books in front of him, he thought that he didn't really want to hide anything in the account book this time. Instead, he planned to get rid of the current matter first, and go back to sell the house he had bought over the years to fill in the books. It stands to reason that he is also a master at keeping the bottom and doing accounts, and it is impossible to be so easily seen that the flaws are right, how can it be?

His thoughts Xi Cui was clear, and he was still quite sincere, and Xi Cui didn't want to do anything to him about this matter, but it was not appropriate to continue to manage the Vientiane shop with his temperament. Xi Cui wondered if she should discuss with Mama Wu to change Wang Yonglin's place. So she asked tentatively, "Uncle Wang, you are the old man of the Hou Mansion, I can't say too much about this matter, you'd better tell her the truth when Mama Wu comes over, what to do, I will listen to her ......"

Unexpectedly, Wang Yonglin misunderstood Xi Cui's meaning, and immediately took the case, his eyes widened angrily, "What do you mean?" I, Wang Yonglin, and Hou Ye have had a fateful relationship! Do you think I'm the kind of person who is consumed by profit and forgets his roots? Just tens of thousands of taels of silver want me to tolerate such humiliation as a girl of yours, just a cheap maid, whose power are you fighting! ”

His hand was so strong that the cup in front of the white fat man's eyes was shaken, and the tea was spilled. The white fat man glared at Wang Yonglin, and adjusted his clothes to make sure that the tea did not splash on him. Zhang Xun looked at the two people in front of him quietly, although Wang Yonglin was very imposing, but in the end, he was weak-hearted, and his voice did not mean that he was confident. Xi Cui was different, she held the teacup in her hand steadily, and she didn't even look at Wang Yonglin, but she was calm.

Wang Yonglin thought that Xi Cui would be frightened by himself, but he didn't want Xi Cui to not even move his eyebrows, listening to her sigh softly, he seemed more and more pathetic. Immediately annoyed and angry, he slammed into the teacup in Xi Cui's hand, but before he could touch the corner of Xi Cui's clothes, he was choked by a pair of big hands that suddenly appeared.

By the time he saw the face of the person who came, Xi Cui had been firmly blocked behind the person, and she was still holding a teacup in her hand. Wang Yonglin couldn't see Xi Cui's face, so naturally he didn't know her expression.

The man standing in front of Xi Cui had thick eyebrows and big eyes, dark skin, and deep eyes. Wang Yonglin also has kung fu, but at the moment, he was restrained without even seeing how the other party made a move, which shows how much higher the other party's skills are than himself.

"Third brother, don't hurt Uncle Wang." Xi Cui put down the things in his hand, approached the two of them, and smiled at the visitor, "Third brother, didn't we say okay?" You can't always show up like this, and it's not good to freak out that everyone doesn't talk about it, and it doesn't seem like I'm capable of handling the scene on my own. Besides, Uncle Wang, they are all his own people, he won't do anything to me at all, and your move will make it even more difficult for Uncle Wang to step down......" As he spoke, he grabbed him and pinched Wang Yonglin's wrist, pulled them away, and explained to the three of them with a smile, "This is the third brother Duan, who ran the rivers and lakes before, and his temper is not very good......

Duan San glared at Wang Yonglin again, looked at him and put away his anger before tidying up his clothes and arching his hand, "In the lower Duan San, he used to be a dart, and most of them stayed on the border in the southwest. I don't care what you talk about, but if anyone dares to touch the girl's fist, I won't agree. This is what I promised Major General Xi! ”

"The young general Xi you are talking about is Xi Yunjian?" When Wang Yonglin heard this name, he changed his previous attitude and immediately became respectful to Duan San. If such a master is the person of his own eldest young master, then it is right, and she Xi Cui is also worthy?

"Exactly! The young general said that the girl was his person, and Duan San guarded the girl just to protect the young general's face, how could his people be bullied casually? Although Duan San was standing in front of him by Xi Cui, he didn't let her get close to Wang Yonglin at all, and his hands were still in a protective posture.

"Third Brother Duan's words can't be said casually, our young master's identity is so noble, Xi Cui is just a lowly maid, if you spread this, it will ruin the young master's reputation!" As soon as Wang Yonglin heard Duan San say that Xi Cui was Xi Yunjian's person, he was immediately unhappy.

Duan San was just about to speak, but was stopped by Xi Cui. Xi Cui shook his head at him, since he decided to follow Xi Yunjian, this situation will have to be faced sooner or later, you can't hide behind others every time, right?

To say that Xi Cui smiled at Wang Yonglin before, he respected him as an elder, and he could be regarded as loyal to Hou Ye. But people obviously don't appreciate it, she Xi Cui can't just stick to other people's cold ass with a hot face, right? So Xi Cui's cold eyes met Wang Yonglin's contemptuous gaze in return, and the words spoken in a slightly immature voice were correct and round, "Uncle Wang, is this questioning Xi Yunjian's vision or Mrs.'s?" I, Xi Cui, have never denied that I am a slave, let alone compromised. I thought that the virtuous people were like rats, and they were in the ears of the people. As long as I know what I should do and how to do it, why not change my identity with my true skills? After a pause, she glanced at the two people next to her who were watching the excitement, "The background was given by my father, and I can't choose it myself." But fate is in my own hands, and I can't be pointed at by others! Uncle Wang, Duan San may not have as much thought as you, but Xi Yunjian's reputation doesn't have to worry about you, no matter how much Mama Wu thinks about it, right? For now, let's solve our own problems first! ”

Wang Yonglin was dumbfounded, Xi Cui had been talking submissively before, and he thought it was a soft one, but he didn't expect it to be a needle hidden in the cotton, and he was so mean that he couldn't say a word.

The white fat man has long been a little dissatisfied with Wang Yonglin, and he is also doing things for his wife, this Wang Yonglin always feels that he is one level higher than others, looking at people in his nostrils, and it feels really good to see him deflated.

Zhang Xun had already begun to have some changes to Xi Cui when he said the problems in the account book of the Vientiane Shop from Xi Cui, and after listening to her clean up Wang Yonglin's words, he looked up to her a few points, this girl saluted first and then soldiers, gave Wang Yonglin an ugly look and made him not say anything more in front of Mama Wu.

Duan San saw that Wang Yonglin's old face turned red, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to see anyone, so he withdrew with confidence, it seems that Xi Cui can deal with these old things by himself. No wonder Mama Wu dared to walk away with confidence, she was careless again......

Xi Cui took out a handkerchief and wiped the tea on the table, straightened the teacup that had fallen to the side, put the old teacup aside and took a new one, added tea to the white fat man, and then filled the other two with it.

said, "I know that neither of you likes Uncle Wang very much, so no one stopped Uncle Wang today." Since we are all doing things for our wife, we should take care of each other, and the business is about harmony and wealth, if we can stand by and watch our own people suffer, how can we expect others to help each other? It stands to reason that the two of you are in this state of mind today, I should be very angry. But I can't, after all, in the future, the industry of Mrs. will depend on you, this cup of tea is considered to be a gift to a few of my juniors, we drank tea and what happened just now was wiped out, just when I just met you, we started to talk about business after the tea. ”

Seeing that the three of them refused to pick up the teacup, Xi Cui sat down, "Since I have said everything, several seniors still can't accept Xi Cui, so I can only tell Mama Wu the truth." Everyone, Madame has already handed over the matter to me, and it is obviously impossible for a few people to change me at the moment, so I am afraid that the result can only be wronged everyone......" Seeing that the three of them all looked up at him, Xi Cui waved his hand indifferently, "Shouldn't it?" I'm now the shopkeeper.,You're just a buddy.,Guys don't obey the shopkeeper's kind words and persuasion to keep it again and again.,In order to run the shop well, it's the duty to directly replace people.。 ”
