Everything went naturally, and Wan Jiayi saw that these two handsome sons were disguised as men like herself, and she immediately felt very kind.

"Sister, what are you doing in the capital?" Wan Jiayi pestered Yan Yumeng and asked very gossipy.

Yan Yumeng didn't hide it, and even made a braggart move, "My father-in-law is in the capital, my sister is going to Beijing to look for him this time, what about you, sister?" ”

As soon as Wan Jiayi mentioned this stubble, he felt angry, and with an angry face, he replaced Shen Chongming's tuba with the three words of negative heart, and made up nonsense to make him a person like Chen Shimei, criticized him fiercely, and asked: "Sister, do you think such a man should clean him up?" ”

Yan Yumeng smiled lightly and persuaded: "Sister, you can't have such thoughts. A manly man, he should be famous for his career, he has just been an official, how can he obediently throw away his official duties and stay at home to marry you. You should put yourself in his shoes and think about it, maybe when he has free time, he will return to Shaoxing to marry you. ”

Having said that, Yan Yumeng muttered in his heart, this Jiayi's sister's fiancé turned out to be an official in the Shaoxing Shizi Entrance Examination, could it be Shen Gongzi. It shouldn't be, how could a person as good as Shen Gongzi be a negative man.

"Sister, you, you don't understand! Neither of us had ever met, and he must have met another woman in the capital, thinking that I was a country girl, so he disliked me. Wan Jiayi pouted.

"This ...... Because it shouldn't be, sister, you are so beautiful, he will definitely be reluctant to see him when he sees him, hehe. Yan Yumeng said with a smile.

Wan Jiayi's face flushed, and she immediately deviated from the topic, "Sister, what kind of powder do you use, why is your face so fair?" ”

……

The two masters chattered about cosmetics, and Xiaoqing and Xin'er also whispered about the problem of clothing. "Sister Qing'er, this silk is woven in our own workshop, of course it's not bad." Xin'er touched her shirt and showed it.

"Your own workshop, is it Wantong Buzhuang in Shaoxing?" Xiaoqing was dumbfounded, the cloth of Wantong Cloth Village is very famous, and the girls in the yard can't put it down.

"Ah, you've also heard of our Wantong Cloth Village? In this way, when we come back from the capital, let my young lady take Miss Yumeng and Sister Qing'er to the shop to choose a few of the best fabrics. Xin'er smiled.

"Mmmmmm, Sister Xin'er, then we'll settle it."

The capital, the compound of wide publicity.

"Hey, our Tongda Carriage and Horse Shop now has a total of 600 carriages, including 100 trucks that pull goods from the Tongzhou Wharf, which is a big head. Now, several large warehouses in the capital are our customers, with a monthly income of 2,000 taels, excluding the loss of manual carriages and horses and horse materials, the profit is generally about 1,200 taels. Xiao Pengcheng said with a smile on his personal abacus, looking at Shen Chongming and Shi Bingzheng with a smug face.

"No, the profit is still a bit low. Pengcheng, you see, we don't have a branch in Tongzhou, and the grooms, carriages, and horses generally stay in the inn when they spend the night in Tongzhou, which is a lot of expenses. In the long run, if we first spend a sum of money to buy an inn in Tongzhou to arrange the stay of the coachman and the carriage and horses, we can save a lot of silver. Shi Bingzheng looked at the account book and said.

"No need, this is enough for a hundred taels of silver every month, if we open an inn by ourselves, we will get more than a thousand taels of silver after miscellaneous calculations, plus the daily wages of the guys, it is not a small amount. With so much silver, you can buy a lot of carriages, and the money you earn will be able to offset this part. Xiao Pengcheng shook his head and said, Brother Shen said that when the carriages and horses reach a certain point, they will expand outward, and then a large number of carriages and horses will be needed, of course, it means that a lot of silver will be spent.

"Hehe, Peng Cheng, Ah Bing is right." Shen Chongming, who had never interjected, opened his mouth and said with a smile, "Although I watched the silver open an inn in Tongzhou, it was better to put the silver into the carriage and horse shop to buy carriages and horses." But you have to know that since it is an inn, it is not necessarily just for us to stay, and it is okay for outsiders to spend money to live. Tongzhou Wharf people come and go, every day from the south to the north of the merchant countless, where we open an inn where the income must be indispensable, but also a very profitable business. ”

Shen Chongming made the truth, Xiao Pengcheng was not a foolish person, he stretched out his thumb after a little pondering, and praised: "Brother Shen, don't look at Ah Bing, he also thought of starting the inn, but he definitely didn't think about making money through the inn, right, Ah Bing?" ”

Shi Bingzheng's forehead was immediately covered with black lines, but he didn't bother to bother with him, and buried his head in carefully checking the account books.

Looking at the two of them like this, Shen Chongming couldn't help but smile, these two people were born to rush.

"Brother Shen, you said that it has only been a few months that our Tongda Carriage and Horse Shop has such a large scale, and the younger brother had to go to the streets a few days ago, and found that there is no room for development in the capital, do you think it is time to expand outward. When the time comes, our carriages will be all over the world, and I will go back to Shuzhong for a trip, so that my father and mother will take our carriage all the way to Beijing to see our career! Xiao Pengcheng looked yearning.

"Hehe, if the silver is enough, of course it will be. But then you're going to be busier, and it's not easy to open a car and horse shop in a foreign country. Shen Chongming nodded, this kid is working so hard, to a large extent, to prove to his family that he is not a waste material.

"It's okay, don't we have a little third son, just let him handle it when the time comes." Xiao Pengcheng said with an indifferent face, then turned his head to look at Xiao Sanzi and said with a smile: "Little Sanzi, what do you say?" ”

Today's third son is Xiao Pengcheng's right-hand man, and he is not the director of Xiao who paid three taels a month the year before last.

But at this time, the third son was bitter, although the monthly money had risen to fifty two a month, but it was also a matter of life when he worked. This is good, if you go to other places to open a car and horse shop, don't miss home after a year of going back and forth.

"Hehe, don't worry about the third son, but he is doing things in other places, and his salary has doubled!" Xiao Pengcheng said very generously, and with one sentence, the monthly money of the third son rose to one hundred taels, and this year it was one thousand two hundred taels, an absolute astronomical amount.

"Yes, the third son must do his errands well." Silver is always inspiring, and the third son changed his bitter gourd face and assured him imposingly.

Nearly dusk, the passenger ship that had been running for more than 20 days finally docked at the brightly lit and lively Tongzhou wharf.

"Sister, it's not early, let's hurry again tomorrow, sister, I've been on a boat all the way, and my bones are about to fall apart." Wan Jiayi rubbed her shoulders and said weakly.

Yan Yumeng is also like her, she just got off the boat and felt light and fluttering, and her body was indescribably uncomfortable. "Well, then let's find an inn to stay in first, and then enter Beijing early tomorrow morning."

"From the south to the north to the capital of Hangzhou, I have recently opened a big deal. Up to the premium suite down to the footman shop, all grades of accommodation are available, within three days of a unified six fold, both money saving and comfortable. There are also inn cars and horses directly to the capital, saving you the trouble of hiring cars and horses! ”

Xiao Pengcheng recopied his old business, stood in front of the inn in the costume of a shopkeeper and shouted at the top of his voice. Sufficient funds, in order to put the inn into use as soon as possible, Xiao Pengcheng spent 2,000 taels of money to acquire three small inns in the vicinity at one time to form the largest inn in Tongzhou Wharf, and began to open as soon as it was renovated.

However, the opening of the new store, this popularity is naturally not good, but fortunately, the old bank is widely advertised, with a guy standing at the door and shouting, the customers are rolling in.

It is said that peers are enemies, a few days ago the nearby inn heard that there was a super strong competitor, and I can be happy in my heart, the wolf is more meaty, and our income will be reduced accordingly if there is more inn.

The ruffians who do this business are all related to the ruffians at the docks, and immediately spend money to hire more than a dozen hooligan ruffians to prepare to make trouble, otherwise such a big inn will open, and everyone will have to drink the northwest wind.

However, Xiao Pengcheng had expected this trick for them, so he asked Liu Shouyou for help in advance and asked him to send someone to take care of it. The wharf where people come and go is the object of Jinyiwei's key inspection, Liu Qianhu gave an order, and seven or eight Jinyiwei swaggered to the banquet set by President Xiao.

Such a powerful way immediately frightened the innkeepers who were ready to make the bad innkeepers, but fortunately they hadn't done it yet, otherwise they would really not be able to eat and walk around. Without saying a word, he immediately withdrew the troublemakers hired by the money and went to congratulate him with gifts, and his attitude was very humble.

"Miss, that's it." Xin'er, who opened the road in front, looked at Xiao Pengcheng's face flushed because of the excessive force of hissing, and couldn't help but feel compassion, it's really not easy to do business, even the shopkeeper personally went out to solicit guests, and he should take good care of it.

"Well, that's it." Wan Jiayi looked up at the plaque, turned back to Yan Yumeng and said, "Sister, let's stay in this inn." ”

"Well, it's okay, didn't he say that the inn has cars and horses to go directly to the capital, and it will save trouble tomorrow morning." Yan Yumeng said with a smile.

Seeing that someone came to the door, Xiao Pengcheng put on a smiling face and was ready to welcome the guests, but as soon as he raised his foot, he found that something was wrong.

The way these four guest officers walked was a little wrong. After a little pondering, Xiao Pengcheng understood, a woman dressed as a man! Business is too busy these days, Xiao Ershao hasn't flirted with a woman from a good family for a long time, even though he is a guest, his heart is also itching, his eyes are ready to tease and tease these girls, aren't you a woman pretending to be a man, then let's demolish you!
