There are a total of twelve shops that Ning Guang gave Su Liu, of which six are in Beijing, and the rest are in Yunzhou or Jiangnan.

Su Liu did not immediately indicate that he was the new owner of the shop, but only asked Ping Jing to say that he was the acting owner and was working for Ning Guang, and now he was rectifying the business of the shop. Therefore, to meet with the shopkeepers of various shops, Su Liu also met with Pingjing in the chamber of his mansion.

Hearing such words, all the shopkeepers speculated whether Pingjing, the chief manager, was going to step down, and Pingjing was going down the river to say that he would abdicate, and all the matters and decisions of the shop were dominated by Su Liu, and he also acted according to orders.

Of the twelve shops, two are rented out, four are in the red, three are in the middle of no profit or loss, and the three that make money have only one gambling house, one sells antiques, and the other makes incense powder is just a small profit.

Su Liu, who was far away, didn't say anything if he didn't inspect it, but the news from the people given by Pingjing and Song Fei was not very good, and the only lively thing was the gambling house. And the goods are old and there is no new product, and the guy is listless and not motivated, so it is strange that someone will patronize it.

The rectification of the shop is inevitable, and Su Liu will not just stick to a business that is not profitable or even loss-making, even if it is just a small shop.

The spacious conference hall was full of major shopkeepers, and a screen was placed behind the main seat, and a slender figure appeared on the screen, unable to see the true face, and everyone was speculating about what this person was.

Just when the shopkeepers were talking to each other, Su Liu also listened to Xueluo's introduction through the screen and looked at everyone, especially when he introduced Wu Sheng, the big shopkeeper of Cuizhuyuan Teahouse, his eyes stayed for a long time.

Wu Sheng is the big shopkeeper of Cuizhuyuan, with a thin figure and puffy bags under his eyes, but he has an abrupt big belly, his small eyes are dripping and spinning like mice, and his eyes are flashing, which is not a good thing at first glance. Such a person is just a big shopkeeper of an elegant teahouse, just because this Wu Sheng is the son of Mrs. Houfu of Guangning, that is, her milk brother.

Seeing this Wu Sheng, Su Liu snorted lightly, according to the information, this person is very lustful, and he once fought with a son in order to sleep with the Oiran of the Hibiscus Building, and it was also Mrs. Guangning Hou who settled it for him.

Let's not talk about Wu Sheng's personality, just talk about the teahouse, in fact, the initial business of the teahouse is still okay, after all, there are many literati, and the terrain of Cuizhuyuan is really good, it is also a quiet and elegant place, and the business is not far off, but after this Wu Sheng took over, he slowly fell, and the account was even more confused, Su Liu was very sure that this Wu Sheng was filial to Mrs. Guangning Hou for the profits of the teahouse.

In this way, Mrs. Guangning Hou is hers when this teahouse is hers, and most of the silver goes into her private treasury every month, but Ning Guang, the wronged boss, is quite comfortable.

Among the shopkeepers, this Wu Sheng is the most difficult to do, he is cunning, and there is a Mrs. Guangning Hou behind him to support him, which is not ordinary, but unfortunately, he is destined to become a victim of Su Liu.

If Su Liu wants to stabilize the shopkeepers and smoothly take over the rectification of various industries, he must take someone to open the knife and make an example of the monkey, and Wu Sheng, who has a big backer, is undoubtedly the most suitable. She just wants to let these people see, even if the backer is Mrs. Guangning Hou, she will also open the knife.

After introducing himself in a salty and non-trivial opening remarks, Su Liu cut to the chase and talked about the accounts and business of each shop.

I thought it was just a little girl, how well she could understand business, but as Su Liu asked the idea one after another, the shopkeepers began to sweat on their foreheads, only to feel that the winter was very hot, especially when it came to accounts, their faces were even more pale.

"The treasures of the Treasure Pavilion are all genuine, as far as I know, a piece of Yan Yuanxing's words costs tens of thousands of taels, and it should be the most profitable shop, but it is only a thousand taels a month. Is it that the literati in Jiangnan don't need to give gifts, or is Yu's shopkeeper's business methods not extensive? If that's the case, then you really have to find someone to help Yu shopkeeper. Sulyumans methodically pulled out the materials of the antique shop and slowly spoke.

Her voice was warm and faint, but in everyone's ears, it was as cold and cold as the snow and ice.

Shopkeeper Yu wiped a cold sweat and said, "Girl, in the past two years, a lot of antique shops in Jiangnan have also opened, and the business of the Treasure Pavilion has also been pulled down a lot. ”

"Really? Then I also want to ask Shopkeeper Yu, what is the matter with the sixth prince of Wu'an Hou Mansion? In the past year, I have taken nearly 10,000 taels of treasures in the Treasure Pavilion, and the shopkeeper Yu has settled the account? Or, the Treasure Pavilion was not opened by the general at all, but the property of the Marquis of Wu'an? If you want to owe it, you will always owe it. Su Liu's voice rose solemnly.

Shopkeeper Yu's face turned pale, he didn't care about the cold sweat on his forehead, stood up and said: "Wu'an Hou Mansion is Wu Zhaoyi's mother's mother's family, and everything that the sixth prince owes is sent to Wu Zhaoyi's mother, so it's ......."

"Presumptuous!" Su Liu put the teacup on the table and scolded angrily: "The nobles in the palace are also what your little shopkeeper can discuss? Wu Zhaoyi's status is noble, and the Wu'an Hou Mansion is also a huge Hou Mansion, will she still buy things without giving money? It's clear that you use the general's property to curry favor with the nobles, I heard that the two daughters of the shopkeeper Yu are dressed like the ladies of everyone, among them, Miss Yu, it is reported that the sixth son of the Hou Mansion of Wu'an intends to accept him as a good concubine, could it be that the shopkeeper Yu wants to climb the high branches, so this account is owed by the Hou Mansion of Wu'an indefinitely? ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall was full of amazement, and even Ping Jing looked at the person behind the screen in amazement.

Shopkeeper Yu's face was already miserable at this time, he couldn't afford such a charge, he knelt down heavily, and said tremblingly: "Girl, wronged, there is no such thing, I, Yu Guifang, will never sell my daughter for glory, the girl is clear, it is really that the Wu'an Hou Mansion is powerful, and the old man went to settle the bill, and it was postponed." ”

Su Liu naturally knew that there was no such thing, in fact, the sixth prince of the Marquis Mansion of Wu'an took a fancy to the appearance of the eldest daughter of the shopkeeper Yu and wanted to accept her as a concubine. Although the shopkeeper Yu is unreliable, he is really planning for his daughter, where is he willing to marry a good daughter into such a cannibalistic place, not to mention, everyone is optimistic about the marriage of the right family.

Not everyone is willing to use their daughters to cling to the powerful, and there are also fathers who really think about their children, Su Liu said this, he was also angry that he couldn't twist it, and he also had the heart to deter everyone, in the end, it was Mrs. Guangning Hou who wanted to open the knife.

Su Liu made a fuss, and everyone knew in their hearts that if she could find out about these things, it was enough to prove that she didn't meet them rashly, but had been prepared.

is also in Jiangnan, and the shopkeeper who is in charge of a fragrant powder shop and the shopkeeper Yu are usually on good terms, and when they see this scene, they also help Xiang to intercede and explain.

Su Liu also knew that the Wu'an Hou Mansion was really disgusting, he didn't give money to buy things, and the huge Hou Mansion was like an old man, so shameless, but this Yu shopkeeper was afraid of the powerful backstage, and he dragged on for a year, and he didn't ask for the account back.

Su Liu also accepted it when he saw it, and said that for the sake of the shopkeeper Yu's heart, he only ordered the shopkeeper Yu to take back the debt owed this year no matter what, and kindly pointed out that Wu Zhaoyi's mother is such a noble person, and she still relies on not giving money? As long as such words come out, do you want to face the Hou Mansion of Wu'an? Do you dare not give money?

As for those who are offended, such old and bad guests, don't do it!

Shopkeeper Yu thanked him, wiped a cold sweat, was helped up by the shopkeeper who had made a good hand, sat on the chair again, the two looked at each other, and both showed a wry smile, but sat up straight again.

Su Liulu's hand is really beautiful, and the combination of grace and power makes all the shopkeepers a little jealous and dare not say more, which also makes the next negotiation very smooth.

One shop after another pointed out problems, Su Liu talked eloquently, which was considered to have done enough homework, and everyone was shocked and a little ashamed at the same time, but also with a little admiration, because what Su Liu said had a lot of things that they couldn't think of and omitted.

In the end, Su Liu talked about the teahouse, and unlike before, he accurately recognized the shopkeepers of each shop, and Su Liu asked directly: "The shopkeeper of Cuizhuyuan is here?" ”

Everyone was very weird, and they all looked at Wu Sheng and exchanged glances.

Wu Sheng's arrogant face suddenly didn't look good, and he said bitterly: "Miss Su, I am Wu Sheng, the shopkeeper of Cuizhu Garden, the girl's eyes are not good, I think it's better to embroider in the boudoir." It is really inappropriate for the woman's family to show her face, and it also damages the face of the general. ”

These fools don't know, but he knows that this Su Liu is the general's fiancée, and a woman comes out to show her face, and she is really the kind of country girl who can't get on the stage.

"Presumptuous!" Xueluo scolded: "Shopkeeper Wu is despising my girl?" ”

"I'm telling the truth, there is no girl who is in charge of her husband's property before she gets married. Of course, I don't know about those small towns and mountains, but the famous families in Shangjing will definitely not do such things, and they don't have to lose the face of the family. Wu Sheng looked at Xueluo with a sneer, his expression very disdainful.

The two girls Xueluo and Shuangning were very angry when they heard this, and the meaning in these words was that Su Liu came out of a small household and couldn't get on the big table.

When the shopkeepers heard this, they all looked at each other, Wu Sheng's words really revealed a lot of information, what kind of husband, what else did this Miss Su come from?

Seeing this, Wu Sheng's chin was raised higher, and his nose was facing the sky, proudly.

Su Liu laughed, his voice was faint, and said: "Manager Ping, Shopkeeper Wu is old, and his ears are not good, I bother you to tell him the old man, where did this girl come from?" ”

Let everyone wait for a long time, it's a rush to catch the last bus and keep changing, cough cough, I'm tired of going out all day today, tomorrow's will be tomorrow's, good night
