Xu explained, "It's just some mother-in-law who buys vegetables. After going out to buy vegetables for a long time, it is inevitable to meet some people who go out early to buy vegetables, and they will get to know each other over time. Friends between men are not acquaintances, and we make friends between wives and sons with one mouth, and after a few bargains, the whole neighborhood will become acquainted. Saying that, Xu sorted out the vegetable basket and walked to the back kitchen with a smile.

Sun Di didn't ask any more, but suddenly became interested in the word friend she mentioned in his mind, "Friend? What is it? ”

Suddenly, I remembered such a sentence called relying on parents and friends at home, and the reason why the Sun family's business is so prosperous is not also thanks to the help of new and old customers, this should also be regarded as a business friend. So what benefits did those business friends who had good friends with the uncle get to help the uncle like this?

Or is there anything good about the uncle in terms of business and life? After thinking about it like this, I remembered what the eldest man of the Sun family said before, he said, "From tomorrow onwards, the Sun family's shop will be taken care of by yourself, and I can just step aside to live for the rest of my life." Haha, anyway, your mother handed over the position of the head of the family to you, you have to take care not to disappoint your mother! This sounds like the eldest man of the Sun family is a person who has no quarrel with the world, but in the business field, it has always been an invisible battlefield where every penny has to be fought for.

Can his kind of character really do great things? So what kind of character is hidden behind his business success, is it really a tranquil and natural character or a dark and insidious character?

Sun Di's eyes narrowed slightly, and he began to doubt the character of the eldest master of the Sun family. So how can we better understand the character of the uncle? Friend? Xu's! Things gather people in groups, as long as you understand the character of the merchants he usually visits, you can basically know how he behaves, Xu just said that he has dealings with the mother-in-law in the vegetable market, you can inquire from the side. The servants of those merchants always have to come out to buy vegetables, so why not take the opportunity to knock on the side.

Thinking like this, Sun Di hurriedly put down the sugar gourd in his hand and ran to the kitchen to find Xu.

"Xu's-" The melodious shout came from here to there, and before I could see anyone, I heard Sun Di's voice first. Xu Shi was busy lighting a fire, holding a hollow bamboo tube in his hand, and blowing air into the stove with his mouth in his mouth. Suddenly, the ashes flew out and pounced, but at this moment, Sun Di shouted so eagerly as if there was something big, Xu didn't have time to wash his face, so he went out casually by wiping his hands.

"Little Miss, what's the matter?" Xu hurried over.

Sun Di couldn't help laughing when he saw the dusty palm prints on Xu's face, pointing at Xu's and shouting, "Big flower cat!" Big Flower Cat! Haha"

Only then did Xu realize that his hands were dirty when he wiped his face, and the more he wiped them, the dirtier they became. Xu Shi was a little embarrassed, and quickly wiped it with his sleeve, but it didn't wipe it clean but became dirtier, and Sun Di couldn't straighten his waist and simply squatted on the ground and laughed.

Xu Shi was embarrassed, but he thought that Miss Fang Cai's call was so anxious, so he hurriedly asked, "Little Miss, what is the big deal with your call so urgently?" ”

"Ah, I almost forgot about it, haha!" Sun Di couldn't stop laughing, and he couldn't stand up, so he simply squatted and waved his little hand to signal Xu to squat down. Xu was curious about what great thing had to be so mysterious, but he didn't think much about it, and obediently squatted down to get close to Xiao Sun Di.

Sun Di covered his mouth with both hands, and whispered close to Xu's ear about the plan she talked to her father and mother today, and then hoped that Xu would inquire more under the pretext of buying vegetables and bring back the news he knew.

Xu nodded, and Sun Di got up, waving his little hand and bouncing and leaving the back kitchen.

On this day, Xu went to buy vegetables again, but today he was extra attentive, and he always talked about things in the business field intentionally or unintentionally while watching the price of vegetables. It just so happened that the mother-in-law of the Ding family came to buy vegetables again, and it was even more convenient for this mother-in-law to talk to the same age as the Xu family, and the Ding family was a big customer of this transaction, so I couldn't help but be a little curious about his family.

"Lotus root, fresh lotus root, come, take a look!" At the stall not far from Xu's, an aunt selling vegetables shouted.

At this time, the mother-in-law of the Ding family heard the shout and immediately went around to buy it, and when her eyes had already picked the big and thick lotus root, Xu was quick to pick it up.

"Aunt Wang, your lotus root is really big, how much did I buy it." Xu said with a smile.

But at this time, Aunt Wang was a little embarrassed, looked at the Xu family and looked at the angry mother-in-law of the Ding family, and did not dare to offer a price for a long time. Xu pretended to be surprised, "What's wrong?" You don't want to sell this thing because you don't want to sell it? ”

As soon as she heard this, the mother-in-law of the Ding family, who had long taken a fancy to the lotus root, was a little unhappy, and her face was tight, "I'm really sorry, I took a fancy to the lotus root in your hand first!" ”

Xu Shi turned his head to look at the Ding family's mother-in-law, and smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, I was too anxious to see you just now." Then give you the big one, I'll pick the small one, anyway, Aunt Wang has a lot of it. Xu quickly softened his attitude and gave a lotus root very kindly.

In this way, the mother-in-law of the Nading family was not angry, and she also smiled and took it and paid the money.

Xu took the opportunity to look at the vegetables in her basket, peanuts, red beans, these don't seem to be vegetables, why don't she buy vegetables early in the morning? And these are all blood-tonifying things, do you want to make a big tonic soup? If so, you should also buy more, why is there only such a small amount, is there only one person in the Ding family who wants to make up?

"I said that your Ding family is so strange, buy such a little food in the morning, where is enough for the family to eat? Could it be that this is all your own thing? Speaking of this, Xu smiled evilly again, "Haha, I know, your eldest sister is not honest." must have secretly saved up private money and then made up for it in private. But it's normal, those of us who are the current people don't feel sorry for our bodies, and no one feels sorry for our bodies. It's just that I don't think it's worth it for you. The Ding family has made such a big deal this time, and they will definitely make a lot of money if they sell it in the future, and they are so rich that they don't give more rewards to their subordinates, this Ding boss is really picky. Hey, but I'm curious, what does he want so many clothes? Know that clothes are seasonal. It's out of place in the autumn and winter, Boss Ding wants so much at once, what can he do if he can't sell it, won't he lose money? ”

Xu Shi asked in a whisper, grabbing his handle first and then throwing out the topic.

But soon these were denied by the Ding family's mother-in-law, "How can I be, I'm such an old person, and I still make up for that." Besides, although the Ding family is rich, it is very easy to pick. is just right to calculate the money from selling vegetables on weekdays, and Mrs. Ding is young and knows the price of pots and pans quite well. "Speaking of these, the mother-in-law of the Ding family is full of bitterness, and it is not easy to be a girl.

"Then it's not easy for you. There's no way, there are old and young, if you don't go to other people's girls, you will have no livelihood, I understand all this, why am I not like this. So what you have in this basket is for the owner of the Ding family? Who wants to replenish blood? Master Ding? Is he still using blood tonic when he's so fat, is it Mrs. Ding? ”

The mother-in-law couldn't help but spit out bitterness when she saw that Xu had the same identity as her and that she was polite, but as soon as she heard Xu's inquiry, the mother-in-law immediately became alert and stopped her mouth.

As soon as Xu Shi saw this move, she understood that the situation was wrong, and since she didn't want to say it, she didn't want to ask more, so she quickly changed the topic, "It's really a scripture that is difficult to read." The boss of your family picks the door for others, and the second master of our family is cowardly, everything is dragged in the hands of the lady, and he doesn't dare to let the fart go. I really hope that the eldest lord will preside over the overall situation, I heard that those maids and wives in the eldest lord's mansion have more money per month than us, hey! Blame yourself for your miserable life! ”

"Sir? The eldest master of the Sun family? The old woman of the Ding family had bulging eyes, as if she had a lot to say in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth hooked up with disdain.

As soon as Xu saw this situation, he knew that there was a play, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" You seem to know the eldest master of the Sun family very well? ”

Mrs. Ding pouted, "I don't want to say that I understand, but I still know a little bit about the situation, after all, he has seen transactions with my master in the business for some years." The people of Dingzhou City praised Master Sun for being kind and knowledgeable, but they didn't know that Mrs. Sun was involved behind every negotiation he had with various merchants. The two of them sang white face and black face, the eldest lord was a good person in front of people, and the wife was a bad person after others, forcing our master to do business with them. The eldest lady Sun spoke very politely, obviously the Ding family and the Sun family are business cooperation friends, but there is always a bit of superiority in her words, as if the Ding family is her servant. I think that except for Grandmother Sun, who is kind and reasonable, no one else is good. I advise you to find another master's house, what if the Sun family is in arrears. ”

After speaking, the old woman of the Ding family patted Xu's hand, as if the eldest sister comforted the younger sister.

"How is this possible, are you sure?" The Xu family was a little surprised, why is the Lord Sun in the eyes of their Sun family completely different from the eyes of others, this is also incredible, why didn't they notice it, is this mother-in-law exaggerating?

The old woman of the Ding family looked at the eldest sister's obsessive expression, and was even more anxious, "Don't believe it, many merchants have experienced it personally." Didn't Master Sun have two sons-in-law who were officials? Although he is a petty official, he is also a key point, and the son-in-law who is a peasant official is amazing! If you don't listen to him, you will have to pay more taxes! ”

Hearing this, the basic situation has been understood, Xu Shi was speechless at the moment, and his heart kept pounding, feeling like he was having a nightmare. Because she couldn't have imagined that the kind-hearted Lord Sun was like this, and the two aunts of the Sun family, who had always been filial and sensible, were secretly like this, if this was the case, would she be retaliated against if she knew the secret that no one knew?

Thinking of this, Xu Shi chuckled in her heart again, quickly covered her mouth with her hand, and hurried back to Sun's mansion, today she didn't even dare to go to the main gate, sneaked in through the back door, and didn't dare to wander around just stayed at the stove, staring blankly at the pile of flames.

"Xu's-Xu's-" Sun Di's crisp shout sounded as always, and he hurried after him with the sound of clattering little feet. Xu was flustered when he heard this, and he wanted to find a place to hide, but in the end, Sun Di saw her first.

"Xu, how did you ask?"
