Guo Shao didn't go home in the morning, and went straight to the guard department from the Dong Mansion. Because I didn't go home last night, I have to go home early this afternoon.

As soon as I returned home, I saw Yulian and said worriedly: "Lang Jun, I seem to have been deceived!" What should I do? ”

Guo Shao saw that she was anxious, so he pulled her to sit down on the stool at the back door of the living room, and said, "Don't worry, what's going on, who lied to you?" ”

"The money to buy silk, set the money." Yulian was guilty and worried, "That Shen Li Chen weaving shop took my money...... But this morning, when I asked Bai Xiangu and Huang Blacksmith to take people to see the goods, the people in the shop didn't let them see it, saying that the goods couldn't be sold! I asked Bai Xiangu to ask for the money and liquidated damages, but the people in the shop didn't give them back......"

Guo Shao was confused, listened to a rough idea, and saw that Yulian was anxious, and said in his heart: What kind of businessman is that, even the wife of a senior military general of the forbidden army dares to deceive?

He asked, "Is there a contract?" ”

Yulian nodded aggrievedly: "I wrote it, but what if they don't admit it?" I gave a large amount of money. ”

Her goose-egg face was full of anxiety and pitiful. Seeing this, Guo Shao hurriedly shook her hand, and said with good words: "Money is something outside the body, even if you are really deceived, it is not a big deal, just spend money to buy lessons." But how dare a businessman do that? Even if they don't have a contract, they are too bold. ”

Holding Yulian's hand, the back of her hand is smooth and there are calluses on her palm! Guo Shao felt even more pity in his heart when he touched it, so he shouted: "I have many ways to make them lose more than they gain!" If the shop really wants to bully you as a woman, I'll give you a head. But Yulian will go into more detail first, so I can know what's going on. ”

Yulian said: "At the beginning, Jing Niang asked Bai Xiangu to go to the shop to talk about the purchase of silk weaving, but their silk, brocade, silk, and yarn are more expensive than those on the market, more than thirty percent more expensive. I told Bai Xiangu to let her go to the East and West Markets to have a look, if it doesn't work, there are silk merchants in the outer city, and you can't buy anything in Tokyo with money?

Unexpectedly, in the afternoon of the same day, a woman was sent to the shop, who was in her forties, richly dressed, and servants, who claimed to be Mrs. Sun, and seemed to be the manager of the weaving shop. When I saw her, she was very happy and said that the original negotiated price was halved! If she had bought and sold as she had said, the silk would have been much cheaper than the silk fabrics on the market, and I had seen the samples and found them to be finer than ordinary silk. At the moment, I was a little puzzled and asked her why. ”

Guo Shao asked casually: "It is only natural for businessmen to make profits. Why did she do this? ”

Yulian said: "She said that she would have to do it at a loss this time, because she had heard of General Guo's name for a long time, and their master had the heart to make friends, and she had no chance before." Later, Aunt Sun didn't talk about business, but kept talking about Lang Jun, starting from the beheading of Zhang Yuanhui of the Northern Han Dynasty. There are some things I don't know about the battlefield, but she said it very carefully...... She even knows about me. ”

Yulian's face turned slightly red when she said this, "There are still some discrepancies with the truth." However, it is not wrong to say that Lang Jun was promoted in the Battle of Gaoping and greeted me in the market with great fanfare. ”

She paused and continued, "I asked her in astonishment, why do you business people care so much about war? Aunt Sun said that her master loved to listen to General Guo's affairs, and she and the people below liked her, and often inquired to tell her master. ”

Guo Shao heard that he was very useful here, he was a layman, he loved fame and fortune, and he always satisfied some vanity when he learned that irrelevant people also praised his meritorious deeds. The owner of the shop admired himself very much, so how could he deceive Yulian?

Before he could ask this, Yulian said again: "I heard that Aunt Sun loves Lang Jun so much, and she is righteous and righteous, so I took it lightly. Let Bai Xiangu take the money and go to 'Shen Li Chen Weaving' to write a contract to make silk, and when they are ready, they will pay the rest of the money to move things. Unexpectedly, the money was paid and the matter was discussed, and when I sent someone to move things today, they told us that the deal was not done! But they don't give a fixed amount of money...... Lang Jun, could Aunt Sun be some kind of gangster disguised as the shopkeeper of the shop, specifically to make money? ”

Guo Shao thought for a while and said, "Didn't you say that the goods ordered at the shop that sent Bai Xiangu to sign the contract with them?" In this case, the people in the shop knew about it, so how could they condone her to cheat money in the shop? Yulian don't worry, don't be angry, leave this matter to me. ”

He was relieved, and even if he really encountered fraud, he just lost some money. Compared with money, Yulian is more important.

Not long after, Bai Xiangu went inside to look for Yulian, and when she saw Guo Shao there, she reported: "The 'Shen Chen Li Weaving' shop sent someone to come and wanted to ask someone from Guo Mansion to talk to the shop." I came back and wanted to tell Yulian first. ”

Guo Shao asked casually: "Last time, Aunt Sun didn't come to talk about it, why did you want us to go to the shop to talk about things this time?" ”

Bai Xiangu said: "I also asked, and the people in the shop said that this time it was their owner who did it himself, and the owner was a woman, so it was inconvenient to come to the door." That's why let's send someone. ”

"The owner, it should be the master who said that Aunt Sun likes to listen to my war?" Guo Shao groaned, thinking that Bai Xiangu couldn't make a decision on the spot after all, and the owner came to talk about it in person, so he said, "I don't have anything to do this afternoon, so I'll go and meet her to solve this matter, saving Yulian from worrying." ”

Yulian said quietly: "Does Lang Jun think that I am useless and can't do anything at all?" Guo Shao smiled: "No." But Yulian is still so petty, that little money makes you worry about being like this. Yulian whispered: "It's not a little, if we want to change it before, those deposits will be enough for us to spend a lifetime." ”

"Wait for me at home." Guo Shao got up from the stool with a smile, and ordered Bai Xiangu to call Jingniang all the way, and then asked the family to prepare the carriage and the entourage guards.

That Shen Chen Li weaving is close to the inner city of the east city, because it is in one direction, not far from Guo Mansion. Go out of the house gate to the north, after passing the Great Xiangguo Temple, walk a few streets to the East Market; Both locations are southeast of the inner city.

Jing Niang and Guo Shao rode in the carriage together, and she said: "After all, the shop is on someone else's territory, and we don't know much about Shen Chen Li Commercial Company. It's better to find a teahouse in the downtown area, and send someone to ask the owner of the business house to meet in the teahouse, even if she is a woman, there is nothing wrong with it. ”

Guo Shao took Jing Niang's suggestion, first found a casual wine and teahouse, booked a private seat, and then sent someone to make an appointment with the owner of the firm. Because of what happened last time, Jing Niang is now more cautious when she goes out, and asks the family to disperse and watch in and around this building.

They waited for a long time to drink tea in their room, and the tea slowly cooled down. At this time, a middle-aged woman came and said that she asked to see the master of the Guo Mansion.

After the woman was brought in, Guo Shaoguan made a satin sound, her expression was calm and not like an ordinary slave, and when she saw that she was about forty years old, he remembered what Yulian said, this person may be Aunt Sun. Could it be that Aunt Sun is the hostess of the trading house?

Sure enough, as soon as the woman came in, she was blessed, lowered her eyes and said, "The concubine is called Aunt Sun, and I will meet General Guo." ”

Guo Shao said: "You're welcome, please sit down, let's talk about things." ”

Aunt Sun said: "Today is not a concubine to talk about, my master has arrived." It's just that the owner is widowed and it is inconvenient to show up, so she asked the concubine to ask General Guo for guilt first, and then asked General Guo to move to the next room to talk. ”

Guo Shao listened and said: The hostess of this trading house has a really big shelf, and when she arrives at the place, she asked me to visit me, as if she summoned me. There are many widows in this world, and since she is in charge of business, why can't she see anyone? If it is replaced by the capitalist society of later generations, what female directors of group companies can still take the shelf; But in this era, the role of money is just like that, it is very good in the market, but it is useless at a certain level, and the status of businessmen cannot be compared with that of civil and military bureaucrats.

But since they are all here, Guo Shao is too lazy to meet her in general, and he cares about face with a woman. Immediately, he said, "It's okay, please lead the way." ”

At the moment, he went out of this private room with Jingniang Bai Xiangu and changed places.

As soon as I entered the tea room, I saw a curtain drawn against the wall, and there was a faint figure inside. Seeing this, Guo Shao only felt that this girl was really hypocritical...... This pomp and circumstance is not small, and I even met someone in the teahouse, and I covered it with a curtain. And this curtain is obviously not something from the teahouse, it is brought by them!

"The concubine is a woman, it is not easy to meet with men, please ask General Guo for forgiveness if you are rude." The figure was inside, giving a salute. As soon as he opened his mouth, Guo Shao was slightly stunned when he heard it, and his voice was very clear...... Hehe, it sounds like she's really a bit of a hypocritical capital.

Guo Shao said: "That's it, it's just a few sections, I don't care." ”

The woman listened and praised: "General Guo is really heroic and has a good conversation. ”

Guo Shao smiled and said in his heart: I just said a word, where can I see that the conversation is coming?

The woman said softly, "General Guo, please take a seat." The tea outside is too dirty, so I didn't ask anyone to serve it. If he has the opportunity in the future, the concubine will use the clear spring to make tea for General Guo to make up for today's rudeness. ”

Guo Shao felt strange when he heard it, as long as the tea in the teahouse was not poisoned, what could he not drink? This has a habit of cleanliness! Fortunately, her family has money, otherwise she would be an ordinary person in this troubled world, and see how she thinks the tea is dirty.

Guo Shao said: "I don't drink the tea, let's talk." I heard that the business was negotiated, and you regretted it? But I don't know what's going on? ”

The woman was unhurried, her voice was quiet, and she said, "And let the concubine explain that today is here for this." This is our own business firm has a dispute, but it has involved General Guo, I am really sorry. ”

Guo Shao asked, "Isn't the lady the owner of the shop?" How can anyone make an assertion and go back on it without your consent? ”
