Chapter 99: The City
Even if she was busy choosing a suitable shop and didn't go to the scene too much to check in person, Ah Yao was not sloppy about this auction banquet.
The three-story layout of the site was planned by her and Xiao Hou Ye personally, and with the experience of the last military salary banquet, A-Yao had already kept in mind the pattern of Yunlailou. She doesn't have the intelligence that the little marquis will never forget, nor does she have Shen Moci's strategy of taking one step and thinking ten steps, she is just an ordinary little girl with a tendon in her brain. But a tendon also has the benefit of a tendon, think about things slowly, do everything very carefully, and she will not forget the small details that many smart people have brushed over.
For example, the square edges and corners of the stools and tables in the hall on the first floor were wrapped in soft cloth of the same color by her. Before the auction opened, there were melons and refreshments on the table, and in order to prevent the peels from being left with nowhere to go, she placed a boxy wooden box in the middle of each table.
There are so many things like this, and while it may seem like a small thing to pick up alone, when so many small details come together, it will make the guests feel comfortable and convenient.
This is still the case in the lower hall, not to mention the compartments specially prepared for the major merchants.
Ah Yao didn't mean to favor one over the other, but the original layout design of Yunlai Building, the furnishings in the compartment were already more luxurious than the outside, and now adding these things is naturally the icing on the cake.
However, unlike the ordinary wealthy people who are knocking melon seeds below and enjoying a rare opportunity, the businessmen in this box have no intention of enjoying it at all. Looking upstairs through the window, the third floor belongs to the little marquis, which will have one more petite.
What does this mean?
While they hesitated, the auction on the high platform below had already begun. The Shen family has a big business and a lot of things, but at first it was just some rare home furnishings.
When Shen Moci stole the deed that day, he was not merciful at all, and even stole the deed of the Shen family's ancestral house. When she first heard about this, thinking of the Hu family's ancestral house that was bought by the Shen family in her previous life, A-Yao also had the idea of revenge. However, after Daddy estimated the approximate value of the Shen family's property, she changed her mind.
Taking the ancestral house of the Shen family can naturally humiliate them, but the Shen family does not know how many other villages under their name, and when they move out of the ancestral house, they can still wear silk and satin every day, eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, and live freely.
Those who want to have a face must be uncomfortable to be stripped of their skin; For the Shen family, who has no face and no skin, they can't suffer their minds, they can only starve their bodies.
What a desolate situation it is to live in a large mansion with a wide and narrow mansion, but not even the money to repair the yard.
Thinking like this, she mentioned yƬ and asked the Shen family to exchange other Zhuangzi.
But Ah Yao's thoughts, when they came out of the mouth of the auction banquet master of ceremonies, completely turned into a look.
"Fellow villagers, the Shen family was a stammer, and they actually sent the ancestral house deed together."
Even the ancestral house was given away...... Why didn't he send the ancestral grave!
There was a gasping sound from under the high platform, and the master of ceremonies said in a round voice: "Although this matter sounds a little incredible at first glance, Xiao Ke has seen the Shen family's house deed with his own eyes, and it is definitely not bad." In this small case, I have to sigh that there are many wonders in the world. ā
With his somewhat funny tone, someone laughed, and the atmosphere became warm again, and the people sitting below took the opportunity to beat the side drum:
"Why don't you want to sell the Shen family's ancestral house today?"
Even the ancestral house has to be sold? This is really a deception of the teacher and the ancestor, and the atmosphere on the scene is stagnant.
Originally, it was indeed to be sold, but the girl of the Hu family was kind and couldn't bear to see the Shen family and others displaced, so she offered to exchange it for other property. The ornaments to be photographed below were all taken out by the Shen family for exchange. The girl of the Hu family has a unique vision to form a set of many furnishings. For example, Xiao Ke in front of this set of willow study furnishings, buy back a set and put it at home, not to mention the elegance of the atmosphere, it is also very convenient to read and write. ā
Following his words, everyone looked towards the high platform, and saw a complete set of tables, chairs, benches, and bogu shelves. Although the willow wood is not valuable, the craftsmanship is exquisite.
But no matter how exquisite it is, it can't compare to the ancestral house of the Shen family!
"The girl of the Hu family is really benevolent."
This is the voice of everyone present, in order to highlight Ayao's kindness, many people even talked about how unscrupulous it is to sell their ancestral home.
Separated by two layers, the sound below reached Ayao's ears, and the hand holding the brush couldn't help but clench tighter, and the thumb nail quickly became congested and turned purple.
This girl must have remembered the events of her previous life.
Sitting on the recliner next to him, Lu Jingyuan, who seemed to be casually scanning the travelogue, but in fact, he was all focused on Ayao next to him, shook his head. Closing the book, Erlang's legs were withdrawn, and he slowly spoke: "If you want the ancestral house of the Shen family, I have a way." ā
He just wanted to save Shen Moci's life and fish out the people behind the scenes in his previous life. As for whether the Shen family's situation was worse or worse, he didn't care.
Is that possible?
A touch of anticipation rose in her heart, but thinking of her previous plans, A-Yao slowly shook her head.
"Using the ancestral house to exchange a few Zhuangzi from the Shen family, this is a good thing that has been said. The order is changed overnight, and I am afraid that Brother Jing's reputation will be damaged. ā
This girl is thinking more and more about him. Satisfied, Lu Jingyuan also asked about her.
"After thinking about the floor under the plate, what should I do next?"
After accompanying A-Yao for two days, he also knew that she was going to open a shop, and he had nothing to do with it. The Hou Mansion has a lot of property, not to mention the filial piety given by the elders and the following, he has a large amount of money for each task, not to mention one A-Yao, and he can fully afford to raise ten or eight. But she wants to open a shop to find something to do for herself, and he fully agrees, but there is one thing: don't tire yourself.
"Naturally, I will find someone to renovate the shop, but I may not have much effort at that time, so I will talk about how to do it, and I will leave it to Xiao Qiao to control."
Su Xiaoqiao...... It's a bit stupid, but it's hard to be loyal.
Nodding slightly, he asked again, "Have you figured out how to repair it?" ā
Asked about this, Ah Yao made a difficulty, "I have a lot of ideas, I think which one is good, and it is difficult to choose for a while." ā
"Tell me about it."
Her thoughts that have not yet been fully formed, can you tell Brother Jing? With an expectation on her face, this will make Ah Yao forget about the sale of the ancestral house in her previous life. After he nodded in promise, she picked up a pen and paper and walked to the chaise longue, where she began to write and draw slowly.
There are also a lot of businesses under the name of the Hou Mansion, most of which were given in the palace when the mansion was opened, and no matter the scale or pattern, they are not comparable to ordinary merchants. The little marquis has an amazing memory, and he can only go in and walk around when he passes by in his spare time on weekdays, and he can also know a lot of things. He is not as good as Hu Jiuling in specific business matters, but he has a lot of opinions when it comes to shop renovation.
"Open the front and back of the shop, and open the windows wider."
"The curtain is too dull, use a gauze curtain."
Since I was moved by the matter of Huimo at dusk yesterday, and then figured it out, the two of them got along in private, and the little marquis gradually put down his shelf. Regardless of the size of the matter, talk to her little by little.
Ah Yao herself already had a rough plan, and she would listen to his suggestions, slowly adding them under the original framework, and the whole idea became more and more formed. Under the excitement, her apricot eyes were shining, and the more she talked, the more energetic she became, completely forgetting the time. After saying that it was almost over, the small pieces in the auction below had been basically completed, and they began to involve the Shen family's shop.
Inevitably the atmosphere is too dull, and the scale of the first shop to be photographed is not small. This is a weaving shop of the Shen family located in the south of the city, covering a wide area, not to mention, many spinning wheels in it are newly built in recent years, and the woven cloth is flat and dense, which has always been loved by the people of Qingcheng. By all accounts, this is a shop worth scrambling for.
But A-Yao knew that the weaving shop had something else going on. When sorting out the Shen family's assets before, the first thing she paid attention to was this. was going to persuade Daddy to buy it, but Daddy told him about another lawsuit. It turns out that the spinning wheel is the latest improvement in recent years, and the reason why it is easy to use is because its shuttle is different. And this shuttle needs to be made of fine iron in the Western Regions, and ordinary blacksmiths in Daxia can't use it at all.
A few years ago, it was okay, and there was a mutual market between Great Xia and the Western Regions. But in the past two years, the border war has been tight, and Jingtie has been firmly controlled by the royal court of the Western Regions, and he can't be left outside.
In other words, when the spinning wheel shuttle is broken, there is no replacement at all. The new spinning wheel could not be rotated, and the weaving shop alone seemed ordinary, leaving only some weaving shops of the old spinning wheel, which were even inferior to ordinary shops.
This new spinning wheel has always been firmly in the hands of the Shen family, and Hu Jiuling also recently competed with the Shen family to rectify and improve the Hu family's shop, and only learned by chance. Before him, except for Shen Jinshan, only the wife of the Shen family, the Sun family, knew best.
It is precisely because she is clear that when she reported to the Sun family to explain the specific situation of the Shen family, she mentioned the situation of this shop.
The Sun family mainly operates a dyeing workshop, and they want to take the woven cloth from the Shen family, and when they see a lot of cloth, they have long had an attempt for this shop. After hearing what Sun said, the whole family was even more gearing up. Now that they heard that the shop was brought up, after waiting for a while, seeing that the Hu family was silent, they finally couldn't help but offer.
Did the Sun family speak up?
Those who were familiar with Shen Jinshan in the past knew the relationship between the Sun family and the Shen family. They had also heard about Sun's return to his parents' home, and they probably guessed the purpose of the Sun family.
Shen Jinshan is strictly guarded, and they don't know how the Shen family shop is, but they don't know it doesn't mean that the Sun family doesn't know. Such a big thing, can the Sun family not go to his mother's family?
It's this shop, you can't go wrong!
After the Sun family, these weaving shops began to rob fiercely. The price shouted higher and higher, and soon exceeded the initial expectations. In the end, it was the Sun family who was rich and rich, and won it at a price twice as high as expected.
What surprised A-Yao was still to come, after the weaving shop, but where the Sun family shouted the price, even if it was a little colder, these Shen family dogs scrambled to keep up. She could only watch as this shop, which was sometimes not obvious on the surface or had problems in secret, was snatched up by these people at a very high price.
"This ...... Are they crazy? ā
"Sharp and dizzy." Standing beside her, Lu Jingyuan's voice was cold.
