Mint thought that there was something important to return to Miss Yu, so she didn't stop, and hurriedly went back to the house, and Sheng Xue saw that she was looking through the account book in the main hall. Yesterday, my mother called herself over and called a fat powder shop on Hesheng Street in Luzhou to her hands. Now Sheng Xuejian is busy looking through the account books, so as to sort out a clue as soon as possible. In her previous life, she had never had the opportunity to touch these, and now she was confused, and she was looking at it seriously, so that she didn't even notice it at all when Mint came in.

"Miss, what are you looking at?" Mint walked over to Sheng Xuemi's side. Seeing that the young lady turned her head to look at herself, she said, "What the young lady ordered, the slave maid has already told Basho." I heard Basho say that Aunt Wu is about to die, but Miss, does Mrs. really want to recognize Miss Six as her own daughter? ”

"How can I do if I don't admit it?" As she spoke, Sheng Xue sighed heavily, of course her mother didn't want to admit it. Sheng Xueyan's presence reminds her mother of the rift between her and her father. But the matter of recognizing Sheng Xueyan was proposed by her father to her mother, how could her mother refuse?

If Aunt Wu is gone, this matter must be a sure thing. Father felt that the reason why Sheng Xueyan was not in shape was because of Aunt Wu. He and the old lady of the Sheng family are the same, they are extremely good-looking people, and he can't tolerate his daughter not having a scholarly appearance. Sheng Xue couldn't help but sigh when she thought of this, her father had never considered her mother's feelings from beginning to end.

Lily listened to it and sighed slightly: "How can there be a reason to turn a concubine into a concubine?" ”

"That's it!" Sheng Xue closed the account book with a snap: "Don't talk about this matter anymore, Mint will go to the porter to prepare the car, and I will go to the shop on Hesheng Street." "Now Aunt Wu's matter is not the most important, her small move, the old lady can't be unaware, but the old lady didn't come forward to stop it, this is a clear way to give up Aunt Wu's chess piece.

So now what Sheng Xuejian wants to do most is to lay a foundation in Luzhou, and there is no news from the little uncle who left Luzhou this time, and Sheng Xuejian's heart is always uneasy. If one day the bad news really comes, and Fan Siyan leaves Luzhou again, then their mother and daughter will once again fall into a helpless situation. So she must fight for a place in the Sheng family!

"Miss, we're here!" Before I knew it, the carriage had arrived at the door of the fat powder shop. Mint opened the door curtain, Lily carefully hugged Sheng Xuejian, and the shopkeeper Li of the fat powder shop immediately stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "Say hello to Miss Five." ”

Sheng Xue saw that he waved his hand and said, "Shopkeeper Li, let's talk inside." Shopkeeper Li nodded in agreement, but his heart trembled slightly, obviously a six-year-old female doll, how could this posture be similar to Bai Wuye, it made people nervous for no reason.

In the wing room, Shopkeeper Li ordered someone to prepare tea and snacks early, and the account books were neatly placed aside. Shopkeeper Li was not surprised that Sheng Xuejian took over the fat powder shop at such a young age, just because the Bai family has been a business wizard for generations, and when Sheng Xuejian's grandfather took over the entire family, he was only ten years old.

"I've read all the account books, and the business in Luzhou is very dull."

"That's what Miss Five said. Our fat powder shop has not had new products in the past two years, and when there are new goods, they are always preempted by the fat powder shop opposite. So the business is a little more flat. It's all the fault of the contemptible people, please punish the young lady! Shopkeeper Li said solemnly.

Sheng Xue saw that he waved his hand and said, "It's no wonder you." After all, the shop opposite is not an ordinary shop. "Sheng Xue noticed when he came to see that the business of the fat powder shop opposite was unusually prosperous, this prosperity is not without reason, most of the ladies in Luzhou City like the things of this splendid pavilion, especially a kind of rouge made of snow lotus in the Western Regions, which can make people's complexion like snow, and it is the favorite rouge of the girls at the moment.

It's just that whether it's really effective or not is unknown, and the new things that come out of the Splendid Pavilion are always sold for half a year and then stopped being sold, and are replaced with another kind of rouge. The fat powder shops on this street can't do it, and only Bai's fat powder shops are still fighting with them after that. This is still because the rouge that Bai's shop got back from Shengjing, with the name of Shengjing, often attracts attention. It's just that Shengjing's rouge is not very useful, and over time, Bai's rouge shop business will naturally become dull.

"Do you know who owns this shop?" Sheng Xue saw that he closed the account book and looked through the wooden window at the Jinxiu Pavilion where business was booming. Shopkeeper Li hesitated for a while, but still said, "This is the Wu family's business. ”

It turned out to be the Wu family. The family of the old lady Wu is a well-known incense maker family in Luzhou. The ancestors produced several masters of incense making, and once made a kind of rouge called "snow drunk", which became a tribute in the palace. But when the Wu family arrived, the generation of the old lady's brother declined. But if you want Luzhou to become a king, you can still do it.

Sheng Xue saw that he was contemplative, and at this time, Shopkeeper Li sighed slightly and said, "Although the business of this Splendid Pavilion is booming, in the end, it still can't help the old lady of the Wu family." Sheng Xue felt strange when she heard this, so she asked, "How do you say this?" Shopkeeper Li explained: "Originally, there were rouge shops of the Wu family on every street in Luzhou, but when Wu Laichang, the old lady of the Wu family, was in charge of the house, he was drunk with money all the year round, and he hollowed out his family, and now there is only one shop like Jinxiu Pavilion." The little one also heard ......"

Shopkeeper Li said that when he got here, he suddenly stopped, looked at Sheng Xue vigilantly, and saw the two girls beside him. Sheng Xue immediately understood what Shopkeeper Li meant, so she said to Lily and Mint, "You two go out and guard." The two nodded yes and exited the room.

"I heard that the old lady of the Wu family often goes to the Sheng family to fight the autumn breeze, and the old lady often has to make up for this uncompetitive old lady Wu." Shopkeeper Li finished this sentence in a low voice. Sheng Xue suddenly remembered that a few days ago, her mother said that there were many deficits in the accounts of the public middle school. It seems to have a lot to do with it. Could it be that the old lady took the money from the Sheng family to supplement her mother's family?

It's just that there is one thing Sheng Xue still hasn't figured out: "You said that since this old lady Wu is such a loser, why is the business of this Splendid Pavilion still so prosperous?" ”

This is the hard work of the Wu family's daughter-in-law. The daughter-in-law of the Wu family is the heir of another incense-making family in Luzhou, and she is the only one left in her generation, and the Splendid Pavilion is her lifeline, how can she give it to the old lady to squander, so she barely kept it. ”
