Hui Niang has not heard from her for a few days, and Zhou is worried that something will happen, and she often chatters in her mouth. XsHuoTXt

There is no big shopkeeper Hui Niang in the pharmacy, Zhou feels powerless, after all, she is illiterate, and all the things of reading prescriptions and accounting have to be handed over to Xiaoyu, and Zhou is not very at ease with Xiaoyu, so Shen Xi was "entrusted with a heavy task" by Zhou, and the new and old shops ran on both sides, tired enough.

Hui Niang was not in these days, Zhou stayed in the pharmacy because she had to take care of the shop, and Lu Xi'er slept with Shen Xi and Lin Dai every day. It's okay during the day, if you have to eat and play, you won't make trouble, but at night, Xiao Nizi cries and calls her mother, no one can persuade her, and it's useless for Shen Xi to tell her stories.

Lu Xi'er's crying will drive Lin Dai's emotions again. It's okay in front of people, but when she lies down at night, Lin Dai begins to whimper, and even has nightmares at night to call her father and mother more often.

Shen Xi can only be a messenger to protect the flowers, so that the two little flowers can feel his care as much as possible, and often wait for the two little Loli to fall asleep for a long time before he falls asleep, because when the weather is cold, he often covers the two little Loli with quilts at night, and he is more thoughtful than being a father.

Finally, on the afternoon of September 23, Hui Niang went to Fucheng for six days and came back, riding in a carriage full of large bags of gifts, some of which were given by others, and some of which were bought at a high price.

“…… I was worried about the shop at home, I didn't dare to stay in Fucheng longer, and I hurried back after the matter was discussed, which was really tiring along the way. ”

Hui Niang's face was full of excitement and joy, and she knew at a glance that most of the things had been discussed.

Zhou hurriedly pulled Hui Niang inside to ask for details, although Hui Niang was happy, she didn't forget to look for Shen Xi and her daughter in the crowd, these are the two people she thinks about the most outside.

Lu Xi'er cried and threw herself into Hui Niang's arms, coquettish for a while, until she saw the gift that Hui Niang brought back from Tingzhou Mansion, and her attention was diverted.

Asked Xiu'er to send her daughter and gifts to the backyard, Hui Niang sat down, touched Shen Xi's head with her hand, and said with a smile: "It's only been a few days, how do you feel that Xiaolang has grown taller again?" ”

Shen Xi smiled and said, "Aunt Sun, you are a psychological illusion, where can you grow so fast...... But then again, I've been growing taller all the time. ”

Hui Niang happily handed over a box to Shen Xi: "I don't have time to visit the bookstore in Fucheng, there is a 'Songzhu Zhai' near the inn to operate pen, ink, paper and inkstone, I saw that there was a good Hui ink to sell, and the shopkeeper said that Hui ink was the best in ink, so I bought you a piece back, you see." ”

Shen Xi opened the box, and it was indeed a piece of fine ink, but with his knowledge, he knew that this was not a "Hui ink", at most it was an imitation. It may be that the store bullied Hui Niang for not knowing the goods, so he used fakes to deceive her. Of course, Shen Xi didn't reveal it, how to say that this is also Hui Niang's intention, there is no need to add blockage at this time.

Zhou's eyes were a little eager: "Sister, tell me quickly, the matter of Fucheng has been negotiated?" ”

Hui Niang pursed her lips and nodded with a smile, referring to the standard of a lady who smiles without showing her teeth, even if she wants to laugh, she can only endure it.

"I went to Fucheng to convene the proprietor of the pharmacy and the shopkeeper to talk about it, originally in the choice of the family, the Fucheng side meant to choose a respected person from them to serve. But I used the method taught me by Xiaolang, first negotiated with the herb dealer, and had a cheap and secure purchase channel, so later they agreed that I would be the head of the chamber of commerce. ”

Zhou said excitedly: "Who said that our daughter's family is incompetent? Look at those big men, in the end, doing business is not about listening to us and doing things? It's really a long ambition for our women! ”

"My sister can't say that, after all, business is about making money, and it is not surprising that this result is driven by interests. To say that the biggest credit this time is Xiaolang, the idea he put forward is good, and he also made me a big boss of the Chamber of Commerce. ”

Hui Niang looked at Shen Xi's eyes full of love, and her expression immediately became a little serious, "It's just...... One thing is very troublesome, the meaning of those pharmacy owners and shopkeepers is to take this opportunity to expand the Chamber of Commerce to all counties in Tingzhou Prefecture and form a whole. This makes it easier to negotiate with the herb dealer......"

Zhou asked in surprise: "In that case, why is my sister still worried, isn't it a good thing?" ”

Hui Niang smiled bitterly and shook her head: "But in this case, my family members in the Chamber of Commerce will not be able to continue to stay in Ninghua County, and I must be stationed in Fucheng." In this way, it will be troublesome, after all, we have no industry in Fucheng, and Yang's Pharmacy has a small share at most, and the weekday operation still has to be handed over to them......"

"Besides, we have taken root in Ninghua County, and it is not easy to let go. I don't want to go to Fucheng alone, without my sister's family, I don't even have a backbone. ”

Zhou's face was also a little unsightly.

Hui Niang expanded her business to Fucheng, and she should go with her, but she had never been to Tingzhou Mansion, and she didn't even know what Fucheng was like. At the same time, she was unwilling to separate from her husband, so she could only let her husband and son go together, but now the situation is special, even if Shen Mingjun wants to go, the old lady Li will not agree.

"Sister, I'll go back and discuss it with the unconscionable person at home. It's really not good, I'll go with my sister and leave him alone. Zhou gritted his teeth and said.

Hui Niang hurriedly said: "Sister, don't be angry with your brother-in-law, it's a blessing for our two families to get together, if we really can't get off, then we just stay in Ninghua County, now we have a pharmacy and a printing workshop, how can we starve to death, wait for two years when the child is older, and it is not too late for us to discuss entering the city." ”

After saying this, Hui Niang suddenly realized something and looked at Shen Xi, "Xiaolang, you give me an idea?" ”

Shen Xi had a bitter face: "Aunt Sun, you also think too highly of me, don't ask me everything, can I persuade my father and my mother?" And I'm afraid it's not my father and mother who can call the shots in this matter, but ...... Ahem, my grandmother. ”

Zhou Shi didn't speak with a dark face, she also knew the key to the matter, as long as the old lady didn't let go, no matter how much Shen Mingjun and his wife discussed, it would be in vain.

Hui Niang smiled: "But there is always a solution to the matter, tell me, how can your grandmother agree to your father and mother leaving Ninghua County?" ”

Shen Xi spread his hands: "Needless to say, of course it's for silver...... My grandmother has always blamed my mother for standing by because of the poor management of the tea shop, if my mother can come out with a few hundred taels of silver at a time...... Of course, this money can't be given out in the name of my mother, otherwise my grandmother will know that my mother has a small treasury......"

"As long as the money is delivered to my grandmother, my grandmother will definitely let her go. This matter, it is best for Aunt Sun to talk to my grandmother, and say that you have a big business now, and you want to go to Fucheng, and there is no one around you to take care of it, and you feel that your mother is working hard, so you will take some more silver for my father and mother to settle down at a time. ”

Zhou thought it was a good idea, but he still asked with some uncertainty, "Can this work?" ”

Hui Niang nodded heavily: "Xiaolang has a point, it depends on the old lady's determination to keep her sister and brother-in-law, but if the old lady is sensible, she should be moved......"

Shen Xi interjected: "It's not sensible, it's grandmother who looks at the silver...... Now the uncle's family lives in the inn every day, the tea shop is not profitable, and the family is in difficulty, with this money, not only can they solve their urgent needs, but they can even buy a house in the city. If Grandmother doesn't let her go, Aunt Sun will have no reason to take the money out, and I think Grandmother will agree to it. ”

Zhou glared at Shen Xi and scolded viciously: "Stinky boy, how can you arrange your grandmother like this? Have you forgotten how she hurt you? This is ...... Let's go back, I'll discuss it with the unconscionable person at home first, see what he means, I don't know what he can do when he goes to Fucheng. ”

"I can let my father be the shopkeeper of the printing workshop."

At this time, Shen Xi finally said his plan for the expansion of the printing workshop, "Actually, I have a plan in my heart, that is, we will make the printing workshop in Fucheng, and we will print semi-finished products of color New Year paintings in Ninghua County...... Semi-finished products mean that only half of the entire printing process is completed, and the product only has the initial layer of color, and then we will transport these semi-finished products to Fucheng for secondary processing, and do the color and color, so that we can basically eliminate the technology from being stolen by others. ”

Shen Xi's words were well-founded and well-organized, and Hui Niang and Zhou nodded again and again after listening to it.

Shen Xi continued: "The market in Fucheng is large, and the effect of distributing colorful New Year paintings in Fucheng is much better than that of Ninghua alone." At that time, our printing workshop in Fucheng needs to be taken care of, after all, Aunt Sun and her mother are women who can't often go to the workshop, so others don't feel at ease, and it's most suitable for Dad to go. ”

Hui Niang frowned and said happily: "Okay, I have always felt that the business at home has improved greatly, and there are so many masters and men under my hands, but it is not a matter for my brother-in-law to work long hours in the Wang family to earn such a meager salary, now my brother-in-law can go to Fucheng with us with peace of mind, and when the time comes, his work will be relatively easy, and my sister and I will have fewer opportunities to show up, which can be described as a lot of wins with one stone." ”

Zhou sighed: "Now it depends on whether the old lady will let her go." Just now she also said that she wanted to go back to discuss with her husband, but after listening to Shen Xi's words, she felt that there was no need to discuss it at all, let her husband go to Fucheng to be the shopkeeper of the printing workshop, can she not agree to such a good thing?

"Then let my sister talk to the old lady...... Let's take some time, my sister will discuss it with my brother-in-law when I go back, and then we will go to the old lady together. However, once the matter is settled, I need to take out a sum of money from my sister's deposit here to settle down for the old lady, for fear that my sister will not be reluctant. ”

Zhou was a little embarrassed: "Those silver seem to be blown by a strong wind, and I always feel that it is not practical to hold it in my hand, so it is better to take it out and give it to the Shen family." ”

Shen Xi hurriedly reminded: "Mother, even if you think that the silver is easy, you can't waste it, you can give some less to your grandmother, how can we use this silver to do business in Fucheng, how can we do it if we don't have capital?" ”

"Got it, stinky boy, you're talking. Do you think that the old lady is really stupid enough to give all the money to your grandmother? It's really verbose, I don't know how I had a grudge with you stinky boy in my last life, but I actually became a mother and son in this life. If there is a next life, I would rather give birth to a pig than to give birth to you. ”

Zhou was unceremonious, turning a corner and scolding his son.

Hui Niang covered her mouth and chuckled: "Xiaolang is such a good son, if my sister doesn't like it, I might as well give it to my sister in the next life." ”
