XXXIII. New appointments
Early the next morning, Tong Ling'er was woken up by Mu Yan's powerful knock on the door, she opened her eyes sleepily, simply cleaned up her hair, opened the door, and asked a little blankly: "Brother Mu Yan, you ruined my morning dream, you have to compensate me." β
Mu Yan pulled Tong Ling'er and held her in his arms: "Do you want to pay now or wait until you meet the queen?" β
Tong Ling'er hurriedly escaped from Mu Yan's embrace: "Let's go see the queen mother." Tong Ling'er's steps were very fast, she was accidentally caught up in by Mu Yan's intimate movements, she felt that Mu Yan was like a strange creature, every time she approached him, she always felt that her whole body was hot, her breath was short, and she was so nervous that she was speechless. Mu Yan quickly followed, and the two of them appeared together in Tong Yunxiang, who was already waiting in the hall.
Tong Yunxiang saw Tong Ling'er coming in, and asked with some concern, "Do you feel better now?" β
"It's out of the way, Queen Mother." After listening, Tong Yunxiang was finally relieved, and she smiled: "Ling'er, Ya'er, Su'er, the queen mother asked you to come today because of an important matter to be handed over to you." β
Tong Ling'er knew that her two sisters had been waiting for a long time, and they were a little dazed when they called the three of them together, and asked in unison, "What's the matter?" β
"In the past few days, the trauma fluid business in the pΓΉ of various stores in Snow Country has been growing, and the manpower everywhere is a little tight, I want to hand over our Tong family's 'Listening to the Rain Fang' to the three of you sisters."
Tingyufang is the main store in the pΓΉ of dozens of Tong family's stores, and it is also the largest shop, occupying a whole street, and it is also the street with the most complex and largest flow of people in Utuo City. Hearing the queen mother say this, Tong Ling'er wanted to refuse when she thought that she still wanted to cultivate, and was about to speak, but the elders on this house couldn't hold it back: "How can they manage such a big industry in Snow Country at such a young age?" β
"These old immortals." Tong Ling'er scolded secretly in her heart: "No matter what decision my mother makes, do you have to oppose it?" β
Tong Yunxiang didn't mind at all, she smiled slightly: "Ling'er is already an adult, looking at it, in their group, Ling'er's strength is already well-deserved, and getting familiar with the industry of the Snow Country as soon as possible is responsible for the future of my Snow Country." As for Ya'er and Su'er, the three of them have lived together since they were young, so they naturally know each other better. However, the elders are right to remind them, they are all girls, so Mu Yan should join them. β
After listening to Tong Yunxiang's arrangement, the three elders on this house were no longer silent. But Tong Ya'er couldn't hide her excitement: "Okay, okay, Brother Mu Yan is with us." β
At this time, Tong Linger had to obey the arrangement of the queen mother. In the end, the four people who stayed in the hall looked at each other, and no one spoke for a while, Tong Ya'er stepped forward and grabbed Mu Yan's arm: "Brother Mu Yan, now we can go to the city together." β
Mu Yan was a little embarrassed, he was anxious to get rid of Tong Ya'er's harassment: "Second princess, I still have to prepare some information about Tingyufang, so I'll leave first." After saying that, he jumped out like a gust of wind.
Tong Ling'er felt that the current atmosphere was really a bit dull, but thinking of the indifferent attitude of the two sisters to herself, her heart was like a fog that could not be erased, so she had to say lightly: "This time, the two younger sisters of Lao are bothered." With that, he left alone.
"Look at her smug look, the queen mother is eccentric, why are the two of us a handyman?" Tong Ya'er couldn't help it, and she was still angry in her heart for Mu Yan deliberately avoiding her: "Doesn't she have the ability, she can do it alone, anyway, I am going to accompany my brother Mu Yan." β
Tong Xu'er looked at the back of Tong Ling'er leaving, and a sense of sadness and jealousy surged up in her heart at the same time, and she sighed helplessly: "It's getting more and more polite." β
The four of them seem to have no intersection at this time, and Tong Linger knows that she must complete the task satisfactorily, so that she can be worthy of the wise and martial decision of the queen mother. In the following days, she always came to this listening rain shop very early, observed and recorded the daily flow of people in the workshop, and gradually she became familiar with the operation of the entire workshop, understanding those who begged for a living in this mixed crowd, and meeting those mercenaries who licked blood on the knife all day long, she would give a few more bottles of trauma fluid for free, and she would also give some gold coins when she met those habitual thieves. In the past few days, the business volume of Tingyufang has increased significantly, the various departments are in order, and the ruffians who often make trouble here are gone, and sometimes they will meet Ya'er and Su'er when they occasionally inspect the streets, and they don't have too much verbal communication, just nod and smile politely.
Mu Yan is even more strange, he mixes with those mercenaries every day, they sit on the lively streets, talk loudly, drink heavily, and when he sees Tong Ling'er, he pretends not to know, Tong Ling'er sees the shirtless men around him and laughs evilly, and it is not easy to get in.
At this time, Tong Ling'er was full of joy, she had carefully calculated in the past few days, and now nearly eighty percent of the merchants chose her trauma fluid, according to this calculation, the Dongfang family is now barely maintaining the remaining twenty percent of the passenger flow, so as not to go bankrupt immediately, but if once the material is lost, Tong Ling'er seems to be looking forward to a wonderful show, she secretly laughed in her heart: "Old man Dongfang, this is the price you pay for bullying our orphan daughters and widows." β
"Celestia, Celestia." San'er laughed evilly and shouted twice, and Tong Ling'er came to her senses a little: "Why, I finished work so early today, and my hands are quite fast." β
"Don't make fun of me, now the rich don't come out with gold coins, they are all VIP cards." San'er stuck out his tongue: "But I got an important piece of information, your two sisters were surrounded by people from the Dongfang family in the street next door, and now the guards who follow the costumes are circling there!" β
"Old man of the East?" Tong Ling'er was suddenly a little angry.
"There is no Dongfang patriarch, he is a little boy with oily hair and noodles, but the pomp and circumstance of going out is very sufficient, and Dongfang's baby daughter is personally accompanied." After San'er finished speaking, he mixed in the crowd again: "I left first, and when I saw a rich one, I had to go a little smoother, otherwise I wouldn't be able to open the pot at night." β
"Mu Yan-" Tong Ling'er shouted, and hurriedly ran to the next street.
