Chapter 42: Liwei 3
Xi Cui naturally can't directly accept Wang Yonglin's tea, she is a junior in the end, even if Wang Yonglin makes amends, she can't accept it with peace of mind. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
So she hurriedly poured another cup of new tea, held it in her hand, took the tea handed over by Wang Yonglin with one hand, and handed the new tea to Wang Yonglin with the other hand, "I already said that harmony can make money, as long as Uncle Wang doesn't care about my little girl, it will be my blessing, where do you dare to accept such a gift from you?" Your cup of tea Mama Wu drank it instead of me, as long as you drink my cup of tea, I still said before, let's reveal what happened before, how about it? As he spoke, he handed the teacup in his hand to Mama Wu.
Mama Wu barely showed a smile at this time, took the teacup and took a sip.
Wang Yonglin hurriedly drank the new tea in his hand in one gulp, but he didn't care about the hot taste of the new tea, and after drinking it, he didn't feel uncomfortable at all, but felt warm in his chest.
At this point, it's finally time to get to the point.
It happened to be noon, and the atmosphere was just right, Xi Cui thought about it, so he simply put away his things first, called the guy to come over and order, and then continued after lunch.
At this time, the atmosphere in the private room was much better than before, and several people talked and laughed like friends, and when the food came up, Xi Cui suddenly remembered Duan San who was guarding outside. So he quietly retreated, Duan San was guarding the door of the private room, but instead of standing in a regular manner, he sat casually on the fence facing the door of the private room.
Seeing Xi Cui coming out, he quickly stood up, "Why did the girl come out?" But what's the matter? ”
Xi Cui smiled, "No, when it's time to eat, the third brother will come in and eat some together, we don't know when we're going to go after we finish discussing the business, so we can't tell you to stay hungry all the time." ”
"It's okay for us people to skip one meal or two, girl, let's hurry in, no one will move chopsticks if you're not inside." After Duan San finished speaking, he was going to continue to go back to his original place.
Xi Cui hurriedly pulled a hand, "Third brother thinks I don't know that you can starve?" I thought about asking you to eat with you when you were a friend, and if you continue to alienate me like this, won't it make me feel cold? In this case, I will give the third brother a day in the future, you will count the salary, see how you feel in your heart! ”
Duan Sanyi heard that Xi Cui was going to calculate his salary, and he was immediately anxious, he was here to repay his kindness, what kind of reward is it to take labor money? Let your friends on the rivers and lakes know that you are still mixed up?
Xi Cui saw that he had nothing to say, so he smiled and let go, Duan San shook his head helplessly, and took a step inside......
"Xi Cui!" Suddenly, there was a cry of surprise from behind him. Hearing someone shouting to herself, Xi Cui hurriedly looked back, it was Princess Chaoyang!
Seeing that Xi Cui saw herself, Princess Chaoyang immediately walked over with a happy face, at this time she had a silver crown and tied her hair, a neat and neat moon-white men's brocade robe, and her originally beautiful and delicate face was actually set off by this outfit A little heroic, at first glance, it can really make people mistakenly think that she is a handsome and extraordinary man.
At this moment, Princess Chaoyang probably forgot about the men's clothes she was wearing now, and took Xi Cui's hand as soon as she got close. Duan San, who was standing on the side, immediately changed his face. Feeling that the air around her was getting colder, Princess Chaoyang noticed Duan San with a black face, and couldn't help but let go of Xi Cui's hand.
Xi Cui looked at Duan San and covered his mouth with a handkerchief with a smile, "What does the third brother think?" This is the princess of the rising sun today! But the girl's family is not a man! ”
Princess Chaoyang looked at Duan San and immediately understood what was going on, and she also smiled and bent over, revealing the coquettishness of her daughter's family, "Who is this person?" Interesting? Is he watching you or protecting you? ”
Hearing her say this, Xi Cui's face immediately turned red, and she quickly changed the topic, "Why is the princess here?" I heard that the third prince has gone to Huangjue Temple, you have been waiting by the Queen Mother's side, I don't know what happened to the Queen Mother's phoenix body? ”
Speaking of this topic, the smile on Princess Chaoyang's face quickly dissipated, and she took Xi Cui's hand again, "Although the queen mother's body is much better, it is still not as good as before, the imperial brother dragged his sick body to Huangjue Temple, but I can't go to visit......"
Xi Cui didn't know much about the royal affairs, but she still knew the news that the third prince was scared and sick. Although the third prince is a little squirrel, he is the brother of Princess Chaoyang's mother, the first emperor died, she lost her father who loved her, and then she was her own mother, and now she can't even see her only brother, and if she is someone else, she will have been depressed for a long time, and it is rare that she can still show a smile just now.
Xi Cui wanted to say a few words of comfort, but when the words came to her mouth, she swallowed them again. No matter how people say it, they are princesses, and they are just maids, why? I could only shake her hand vigorously, which was regarded as an expression of my heart, no matter how much I liked her, I couldn't do without rules, this is the belief that Xi Cui has adhered to in the Hou Mansion for so many years.
Princess Chaoyang seemed to have something to do, and it was inconvenient to say it directly, so she said a few words to Xi Cui and was about to leave. Before leaving, she pulled Xi Cui aside, whispered in her ear, and told her that the emperor was going to recruit a show girl to the palace in a month, and the Wang sisters were named, and it was best to tell Wang Shaoyan if Xi Cui went back, and told him to prepare early. The Queen Mother didn't know about this matter, it was Uncle Lao Guo who brought it up last night, and the emperor was going to tell the Queen Mother in a few days.
After saying that, Princess Chaoyang left, and when she finally turned around, she looked at Xi Cui's eyes and made Xi Cui feel uplifted, this was the first time Xi Cui saw such a look in the eyes of Princess Chaoyang, solemn, helpless, and then her figure quickly disappeared, as if someone was chasing behind her ass.
Draft...... Xi Cui thought about it and took Duan San into the private room.
The people inside really didn't move their chopsticks, they were all waiting for her. Xi Cui explained apologetically, and hurried to his seat. Duan San sat next to Wang Yonglin, and neither of them cared about anything because of what happened before.
After the meal, the guy cleaned up the table and everyone began to discuss the solution of stockpiling.
Xi Cui remembered what Princess Chaoyang said. Draft...... Seeing what Princess Chaoyang meant, she didn't want to make a noise, and Xi Cui naturally couldn't directly say that she said it. After thinking about it again and again, she finally spoke, "Rui Niang has read the account book, we are not in a hurry to stock up on the goods of Linlang Pavilion and Tianyi Silk Village, there are only a few people in the harem when the new emperor ascends the throne, and it must not be long before the draft starts." That's when our stuff comes in handy. It's just that at the beginning of the draft, the most lively place was only in the capital, so if you want to trouble the white fat man, you can find a way to slowly concentrate other semicolon things in the capital, how many silver taels are needed, you go back and calculate it, I will prepare it for you. ”
"Girl, that's a good idea, but it's too risky, isn't it? Now that the border war is tight, the emperor was wise when he was the crown prince, I'm afraid he won't have the idea of a draft at this time, right? In case he postpones it, let's do this, but we will take in more......" The white fat man finally said a useful word today.
Xi Cui smiled, remembering Princess Chaoyang's last look, "This matter will not be wrong, I believe there will be movement soon, although I have a way to get the news, but I'm sorry that I can't tell you the source of the news, and I also have to bother you not to say it, let's just wait and see." ”
"Since the girl said so, let's just do it." Since the white fat man had already identified Xi Cui, he was naturally willing to obey.
Zhang Xun thought for a while and said, "If the girl's news is reliable, I will know what to do." After selling the plain fabric, he still has some cash in his hand, and he can take advantage of this to collect the bright colored fabrics that others have cleared at a low price, and wait for the draft to start.
Once the news of the draft comes out, the official eunuchs who are in line with the conditions will send the school-age women to the palace, and it is indispensable to buy some clothes for their own girls' future. This is a family that intends to enter the palace, those who are reluctant to enter the palace, naturally have to hurry up to show the girl to the family, and when the time comes, the dowry is indispensable to the silk and satin.
He thought that Xi Cui knew the news from the beginning, and admired Xi Cui's composure before lunch. It's a little scary to be able to have this kind of scheming at a young age.
Xi Cui has a little widow by his side, so he naturally knows what he thinks in his heart, although he feels that he is a little unauthentic to deceive people like this, but he also feels that the feeling of being able to get their worship is not an ordinary comfort, so it is up to him to misunderstand, and he did not explain more about the time when he knew the news.
On the contrary, Rui Niang had an idea at this time, and then Zhang Xun's words said, "Does Boss Zhang still have dealings with Jinyi Pavilion now?" ”
Zhang Xun didn't know what she wanted, so he nodded.
"It's better, it's the perfect time to get revenge. As far as I know, Liu Qian bought a large number of ready-to-wear garments after he got his hands on them, most of which were brightly colored women's clothing. Before he had time to make a move, he caught up with the death of the emperor, presumably at this time he was in a hurry to get rid of it more than anyone else, after all, he was new to the shopping mall, and he had not experienced the wind and waves, this kind of person was the most unbearable to be frightened...... "With Zhang Xun's ability, it is not a problem to deal with a novice like Liu Qian." "Liu Qian is insidious and cunning, he has followed Wang Shangshu for so many years and has a wide network of officials in the capital, Boss Zhang must be careful when doing things, it is best not to leave him with any handles." Everything that should be said has been said, Zhang Xun should understand. Since you can find a puppet for Liu Qian to coax before, you can also find a puppet to fool Liu Qian this time, as long as it is dealt with afterwards. After this time, Jinyige should have tossed Liu Qian's family wealth almost, and when the time came, Tianyi Silk Zhuang could take back Jinyige, a money-losing business, from Liu Qian's hands openly. And she can be regarded as returning Zhang Xun's favor.
Rui Niang thought this way because she didn't know that Xi Cui had negotiated the conditions with Zhang Xun before, if she knew that Xi Cui had already recognized this favor, she probably had some feelings for Xi Cui in her heart.
Seeing Rui Niang say this, Xi Cui thought about it and thought it was good, and she didn't object. But the real problem with the silk village is the dark cotton and linen. At present, this batch of goods is the real stockpiling at the bottom of the warehouse. The most troublesome thing about this batch of goods is not its purchase cost, it is precisely because of the low price that Zhang Xun dared to buy so much, he thought that the plain and dark colors should be sold during the national funeral, but he didn't expect that this time he completely miscalculated.
It seems that nothing can save this batch of cotton and linen, it stands to reason that these things are the most practical, durable, sweat-absorbing and warm, if it is not for the burden of stockpiling too much, these things are indispensable on weekdays. Zhang Xun joked that if she could earn a good reputation, she really wanted to give it all to the poor who lacked clothes and clothing.
Issue! Xi Cui's eyes suddenly lit up, "By the way, let's distribute it!" It's just that our distribution is not for the poor, but for the richest! Xi Cui looked at everyone's puzzled eyes and smiled mysteriously, "Who do you think is the richest person in the world?" ”
Seeing that no one answered him, Xi Cui pointed to the sky, "Of course it's the emperor today!" ”
"Xi Cui, the more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes! The emperor will want these things from you? Mama Wu couldn't listen to it anymore.
Xi Cui smiled and grabbed Mama Wu's arm, "Of course we are not for the emperor himself, he is the Son of Heaven and only has one body, how can he wear so many clothes?" I mean to give it to the soldiers who went to the battlefield for the emperor. The emperor first ascended to the throne, and although the amnesty of the world bought the hearts of many people, it is something that every emperor will do, and this kindness will not be different. But not every emperor can do it to send military uniforms and robes to the border stiff soldiers, not to mention that these cloths don't need him to pay for themselves, and even the emperor won't refuse to get a good reputation for nothing, right? Sooner or later, the silk village is a young lady's, I always have to give my uncle the truth, and it is convenient to confess to my uncle in the future, and we may be able to help my uncle this time. ”
Zhang Xun immediately said, "This is secondary, if the emperor shows his face in front of him this time, maybe in the future, we can still take the line of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to buy, this is a great thing for fame and fortune!" Thinking of this, Zhang Xun couldn't help but stand up and bow to Xi Cui, "The girl is smart and smart, Zhang Xun really admires it, admires it so much......"
Xi Cui hurriedly stood up and saluted back, "Boss Zhang really annoyed Xi Cui when he said this, Xi Cui just felt it, and he couldn't talk about being smart and smart." ”
Zhang Xun has been immersed in excitement, and it took a long time to calm down. The fat white man sitting on the side shook his head, this little girl is really not an ordinary person. Even a person like him probably wouldn't dare to hit the emperor with his idea, how could she dare to think in that direction?
and when she said that she confessed to Wang Shaoyan, her tone was so calm, so natural. You must know that what she holds in her hand is more than what she has in her hand, I don't know how much, and she is reluctant to let it go just like that, how can she not care like that? Thinking of this, the white fat man's admiration for Mrs. Hou can no longer be described in words, how can she find such a person? This is even more rare than the wealth of the sky.
Mama Wu was the most excited compared to the others, she was already very satisfied when she saw Xi Cui successfully deal with the three people in front of her alone, but now that she heard that Xi Cui could have such a mind, how could her heart be calm? When Mrs. said that Xi Cui would become a great weapon in the future, she didn't think that now it seems that Mrs. is the real master! She finally did not disappoint her wife, Xi Cui can definitely help her take care of her children, and even more so take care of her property. The eldest young master is also a poisonous eye, how can he take a fancy to Xi Cui at a glance? The more she looks at Xi Cui now, the more she feels that she is suitable for her own young master, and she can't wait for them to settle down immediately, but she can't let the young master miss such a good marriage in vain.
No, while there is still a chance, we must find a way to ask Xi Cui to meet the young master again. Looks like she's going to do something this time......
This matter is naturally discussed by Xi Cui and Wang Shaoyan, as long as Zhang Xun can gather the fabrics everywhere, he can deal with Liu Qian ******** after doing this.
The only thing left is Wang Yonglin's Vientiane shop, these things can't be kept, but they can't just be thrown away, right?
This time it's really out of the question.
The atmosphere in the private room fell into a deep valley again, and no one made a sound.
Wang Yonglin gritted his teeth and stood up, "One person does things and one person is responsible, I can't shirk responsibility for this matter to be like this." I thought about it before I came, I have also bought a few private houses over the years, and I can still exchange some cash for some money when I sell them, so it should be no problem to fill in this account. Anyway, I was originally alone, and everything was given by my wife, and I should return it to my wife. ”
"You can't say that, doing business is inherently profitable and losing, if you make it, it's your wife's, and if you lose it, let's fill it in yourself, who is this wife? Your private house is something you've worked so hard to earn over the years, and you can't move it easily. But you are indeed wrong in this matter, and the punishment must be punished, otherwise I will not be able to explain to others in the future. Xi Cui thought for a while, then turned her head to look at Mama Wu, "Mama Wu, you have been following Madame for a long time, I don't know if you have encountered something similar?" ”
Mama Wu shook her head, she really didn't know.
Rui Niang asked Wang Yonglin a few words, and figured out the reason for the whole thing, thought about it, and said, "The key now is not how to punish Boss Wang, but to find a way to completely solve this problem. I don't know if you have noticed, the reason why Boss Wang caused such a consequence today is mainly because he doesn't know how to know that people are good at their jobs, and they have to do everything themselves. If he had been in the north and someone in Jiangnan had helped him get an idea, the result would have been very different. ”
Rui Niang's words were like an enlightenment, waking up everyone present. The business is getting bigger and bigger, but the way of doing business has not changed, and it is only a matter of time before such a result is caused, and Vientiane Shop is just the beginning.
It looks like there's still a lot to do!
This fact instantly shattered the self-confidence that Xi Cui had just established. I thought I could really do it, but I didn't expect that the flash of joy was not even touched by the skin of doing business. Fortunately, Rui Niang was left by her side, otherwise once the problem was fully revealed, she would not be able to return to heaven even if she had three heads and six arms.
