In this year, in the first half of the year, Xiao Zheng's did not make any big moves, but he raised three hundred taels of silver from the shop, and the purchase price and selling price were similar to those of the past three years, which was relatively normal.

But in the second half of the year, the purchase price of all kinds of things in the shop, except for the price of gold and silver, which remains unchanged, the price of various raw materials began to rise slowly. All kinds of gemstones, from rising three percent to double the price of the price of the high-grade East Pearl has risen by fifty percent, the price of the medium East Pearl has risen by three percent, and there are other bits and pieces, just the cost of rising, it is enough to make the entire shop no profit for half a year.

And that's not all, in the second half of the year, the jewelry sold in the shop was less than the first half of the year, and the things sold were less, and the profits were naturally less. And when all the raw materials are consumed equally, the jewelry produced is much less, and this loss is another amount of silver.

In the last half a year, the gold and silver jewelry shop not only did not make a penny, but also lost all the money earned in the first half of the year, and there was a deficit of at least 2,000 taels of silver inside and out.

"That's so many!" Second Mrs. Zhao looked at the final number calculated in the account book, and only felt as if her heart had been dug up.

In charge of this shop, one is the old shopkeeper who he has trusted for more than ten years, and the other is his own sister who grew up together.

"Mother, let's call my aunt over and ask, she didn't go out of the door this day, maybe she was deceived by the shopkeeper in the shop." Huiya looked at her mother's frowning appearance, and felt distressed in her heart, but Xiao Zheng's family is the heart of a tiger and wolf, if she doesn't let her mother recognize her true colors, what if she is killed by her one day?

"It's okay......" Second Mrs. Zhao is now in turmoil, Huiya's words seem to give her a shot in the arm, yes, her own sister is a weak one. The lack of money in this shop may be the result of the deception of the shopkeeper.

The lesser of two evils, Second Mrs. Zhao would rather believe that it was her original shopkeeper who bullied her, rather than believe that it was her own sister who betrayed her. Secretly making money.

Huiya looked at her mother's obvious relieved look, and her heart was sour for a while, she wanted to tear apart Xiao Zheng's true face, although this is good in the long run, but it is still too cruel to her mother.

Send someone here to call Xiao Zheng. Xiao Zheng's Zheng Yunlian came late after a long time, she wore a moon-white skirt, only a few silver inlaid jewelry on her head, her face was covered with white powder, her eyes were red, and she walked over with Nana, looking weak.

"Yunlian, are you sick?" Although Second Mrs. Zhao was annoyed in her heart, when she saw her sister-in-law's pitiful appearance, her heart inevitably softened by two points.

"Sister. I'm just a little tired, it's fine. Xiao Zheng's face propped up a smile, and that smile seemed to be supported for An Zheng's heart, with a little reluctance and a little weakness.

"You, if you're tired, don't ......hold on" Second Mrs. Zhao looked at her sister like this, her heart softened a little, and she had the intention to postpone the things in the shop.

But when I saw Hye-a-ah's white little face and big ignorant eyes, I thought that Hye-sun and Hye-a were already big. I also want to buy them things for personal use, and the income of the shop is too important, so I was ruthless and continued. "I'm in a lot better now, and I can take care of the wedding shop, I've worked hard for you these days."

"Sister......" When Xiao Zheng heard this, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Second Mrs. Zhao with a surprised expression. His face changed instantly. She originally thought that she was being pulled over to ask about the accounts this time, and she was going to bite her to death, but she didn't know it.

Xiao Zheng's abacus is very good, with Zheng's body, it is not time to take care of the shop herself, and after two years, her body is getting weaker and weaker and she returns to the west, so what about the accounts of the gold and silver shop, it is not up to herself.

"You've been working hard these days, Saika is still young, you have to take care of it more." Second Mrs. Zhao looked at her sister's panicked appearance, and she really didn't dare to ask about the things in the shop, from her face, Second Mrs. Zhao could see her weak heart.

Second Mrs. Zhao saw that Xiao Zheng's heart was weak, so she thought about simply taking the shop back, if the two thousand taels of silver were the shopkeeper's greedy for ink, let him spit it out, if Xiao Zheng's greedy for ink, she would give Fang Shaxiang the dowry at that time, and it was not easy for her widowed sister.

Huiya, who was sitting on the side, naturally saw her mother's hesitation and Xiao Zheng's weakness. There is no way for Huiya to be soft-hearted, but the fleeting vicious gaze hidden under Xiao Zheng's weak heart makes Huiya's whole person alert.

In his previous life, when Xiao Zheng said with a loving face that he would go up the mountain to pray for blessings, this was the kind of gaze that flashed in his eyes, could it be ...... Does she want to be bad for her mother?

"Sister, I'm fine, I can take care of the things in the shop." Xiao Zheng was unwilling to hand over the management of the shop like this, she looked up at Mrs. Zhao Erying, still trying to redeem it.

Xiao Zheng's this year, from the shop also made nearly a thousand taels of silver, which is more than the annual income of all the fields in his hometown, if he lets go in such a vain, it is not a big loss!

"Auntie, you said you could manage the shop, have you read the accounts of the shop?" Looking at Xiao Zheng's greedy face, Hui Ya's heart was not good, and she immediately asked.

"I've read the accounts." Xiao Zheng was about to brew tears to win his sister's sympathy, but when Hui Ya asked him so coldly, he replied in a daze.

"Is there anything wrong with the accounts?" Hui Ya asked step by step.

"Accounts, how can there be any problems...... Xiao Zheng is a little weak-hearted, he really looked at the accounts, and the accounts have been done very flat, I believe that Sister Chang can't see any flaws. But hearing Huiya's question, Xiao Zheng was a little unsure, so the account wouldn't be seen by Sister Yan, right?

"There is no problem with the accounts? Auntie, you are really relieved to be the shopkeeper under your hands! Hui Ya said with a sneer, looking at Xiao Zheng's eyes swaying from side to side, she knew that she was weak-hearted, "I don't know where the shopkeeper is now?" ”

"How can there be a full shopkeeper, isn't the shopkeeper surnamed Jiang!" As soon as Xiao Zheng's words came out, he knew that he had been exposed, and the shopkeeper was the shopkeeper of his sister's previous store, but he was squeezed out by himself with a strategy. Because the shopkeeper is very loyal to his sister, even if the news of his sister's serious illness comes out, he still refuses to let himself get any benefits.

"Yunlian, go back, give you a month, sort out the things in the shop, and then hand it back." Second Mrs. Zhao looked at Xiao Zheng's appearance, and she didn't know that it was her hands and feet here. Even the shopkeeper has changed, Second Mrs. Zhao's heart is very tired, and she waved her hand to let Xiao Zheng go down, but the shop must be handed back.

Hui Ya looked at this, thinking that the full shopkeeper would be the full shopkeeper who made peony and golden hairpins when she bought hairpins in Yinque Lou, and she mentioned it slightly in her heart, and focused on asking her subordinates to inquire about the origin of the crazy man in the pearl market.
