Chapter 272 Chamber of Commerce Invitation
Compared with Angelica, Old Madam Lu was faster here, and directly handed Qiao Yixi a piece of paper.
Qiao Lixi looked at the content on it and pouted.
It is the family background of the two aunts and the experience from childhood to adulthood.
Qiao Lixi didn't expect Old Madam Lu to act so quickly and resolutely, and collected all the information of the enemy.
Why do you say the enemy?
Because Mrs. Lu said that she should not be nervous, but also have confidence in Gu Jinzhen, they are just two clowns who jump off the beam, and it is not worth spending so much effort on the two of them. The reason why Mrs. Lu collected these things was to reassure her, these people were not enough to cause trouble, and there was no need to pay attention to them, and when the time came, Gu Jinzhen would deal with it.
Qiao Yixi didn't bother to explain, she sat obediently on the side, and after listening to Mrs. Lu's comfort, she thought that she could be quiet for a few days, but she didn't expect Gu Jingshu to come back from Zhuangzi.
originally thought that Gu Jingshu was coming back to live for a while, but Qiao Xingbang and Yi Ge'er didn't come back, and Qiao Yixi felt that things didn't seem to be so simple.
Sure enough, as soon as Gu Jingshu opened her mouth, it was Gu Jinzhen's business.
The corners of Qiao Lixi's forehead twitched.
Is she familiar with Gu Jinzhen?
Does she look like a resentful woman?
Complaining is complaining, and you have to make a docile appearance on your face.
She didn't bother to explain, the more she explained, the more unclear it became, and she could see that no matter how hard she tried to get rid of Gu Jinzhen, they wouldn't listen.
Depressed for a while, Qiao Lixi began to deal with the affairs of the store.
The business of the bone-setting pharmacy is very good, not only because the ointment is cheap, but more importantly, the effect of the ointment is good.
Ordinary people are not so expensive, they are used to doing coolies, and they hurt their muscles and bones, and they generally pass by standing up, but after years of accumulation, these dark diseases have broken out to a certain extent, and it is difficult to cure them, and if they are serious, they are bedridden, and it is difficult to even turn over.
After all, most of the workers of the Gu family work at the dock, and Mr. Gu will regularly arrange workers to enjoy employee benefits.
The doctor's ability, combined with Qiao Lixi's ointment, is affordable, and it can cure the disease, so the business of the bone-setting pharmacy can be said to be a long stream, and Qiao Yixi had to hire two more doctors.
As for the preparation of the ointment, Qiao Yixi handed it over to Mama Shen.
This time in Beijing, Mrs. Gu sent a lot of Gu family's children over, and Mama Shen arranged it in the workshop on Zhuangzi, the formula was in the hands of Gu Jingshu and Qiao Xingbang, and the people in each group performed their duties, but there was no out-of-stock.
Several batches of military supplies were sent to the Shen family's army, which played a role on the battlefield, and for a while, the bone-setting medicine shop became famous, and some people in the circle began to quietly inquire about the background of the bone-setting medicine shop.
How can it be easy to start a military business as soon as it opens?
Some people even speculate that this is the industry of the Marquis of Zhenyuan at all!
Fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, since there is this formula, do business with yourself, and earn the silver of the imperial court.
Although the Marquis of Zhenyuan originally had no industry in the capital, one was because of the old emperor's fear, and the other was because the Marquis of Zhenyuan was at the border all the year round, and there was only one Mrs. Lu in the back house, Mrs. Lu and the Marquis of Zhenyuan were both from Jincheng, and Mrs. Lu's dowry was also in Jincheng.
At least, in the eyes of the ministers of the DPRK and China.
Now, the Marquis of Zhenyuan quietly made a bone-setting medicine shop out, which seems to be nothing in the circle, but at least it is an attitude, it is the attitude of the Marquis of Zhenyuan to the old emperor's provocation!
Moreover, Marquis Zhenyuan is the silver of the imperial court that he earned, but the old emperor can't say anything.
Say what?
This is military supplies, it is the life guarantee of the soldiers who defend the country, what can the old emperor say?
It's just that there are also well-informed people with many wrists who have found the Jin family.
The person in charge of the bone-setting pharmacy is now the steward of the Jin family, and the person in charge of "Meal World" is also the steward of the Jin family.
For the Jin family's business ability, the people in the circle are envious, jealous and hateful, and they have nothing to do.
I just don't know if this is the Jin family's own shop, or if the Marquis of Zhenyuan is also involved.
However, those who know the Jin family know that the Jin family is just a simple businessman, even if they have been an imperial businessman for so long, they have no personal relationship with the ministers of the court, and even the only son of the Jin family, Jin Baijin, is also concentrating on being a businessman, and has never thought about taking a career or anything like that.
For the people of the Jin family to be so unmotivated, the onlookers hate that iron is not steel, but the attitude of the Jin family is also very clear, people just concentrate on being a businessman who has no quarrel with the world, and does not get involved in the affairs of the court.
Therefore, if you want to say that the Marquis of Zhenyuan is partnered with the people of the Jin family, half of the people do not believe it.
Also, the shop next to the bone-setting pharmacy seems to be doing too well.
In just a few months, he made so much money, and the person who peeped secretly before secretly calculated an account, and his eyes were very red.
It's obviously the most inconspicuous gadget, but it can be sold for a sky-high price!
Oh, it's just a matter of "novelty".
If they really want to risk going to the border to buy goods, they are unwilling.
They value their lives more than money.
And these playthings are demoralized, everyone is just trying to be fresh, and when the heat is over, how many people are willing to smash silver on these playthings?
Food, clothing, housing and transportation are what the people are most concerned about.
Of course, that doesn't mean they don't look out for the owners behind it.
After holding several member meetings, the Beijing Chamber of Commerce finally handed over invitations to the two shops.
Looking at the invitation letter handed over by the golden steward, Qiao Lixi thought for a while and said to the two cousins: "The two shops are still separated. ”
Gu Pingjie nodded in agreement, "Outsiders think that the bone-setting pharmacy belongs to the Jin family, and the fat man in that shop comes forward, and the specialty shop ......" glanced left and right, "Is it Zhong Chenglin who comes forward, or us?" ”
"The businessmen in the capital all know that Zhong Chenglin and Jin Fatzi have a good relationship, if they say that the shop is Zhong Chenglin's, it is easy for people in the circle to believe it."
Qiao Yixi and the Gu family brothers didn't want to expose themselves.
First, Qiao Lixi is used to being low-key, and making a fortune or something in a muffled voice is what she likes.
Second, there is a contradiction between the Gu family and Duanmuqing, if the Gu family is exposed, and then think of the business dealings with the Marquis of Zhenyuan, it will be nothing in the first place, and it will be rumored to be messy.
Qiao Yixi just wants to do business with peace of mind, as for who comes forward, she really doesn't care.
"By the way, when will the fat golden man come back?" Gu Pingjie is most concerned about this.
After the things here were arranged, they separated from Zhong Chenglin's soldiers, thinking that Jin Baijin would go to sea with Zhong Chenglin in a group, and Jin Baijin also planned to do so, but the Jin family suddenly flew a pigeon and sent a message, asking him to return to Jincheng.
Desperate, Kimberkin hit the road.
Qiao Yixi rolled her eyes and teased: "Mrs. Jin said that if the fat man Jin does not choose a good daughter-in-law, he is not allowed to leave Shu." ”
"Choosing a daughter-in-law?" Gu Pingjie suddenly became interested, "Isn't it too early?" ”
Kimp Birkin is only fifteen this year, and it is not too late to look at this age, after completing all the procedures, the woman will symbolically leave the girl for a while, and a year or two will pass.
However, as a businessman, people in the circle get married relatively late, generally starting to see each other when they are seventeen or eighteen years old, and getting married before the age of twenty.
"What's going on with the Jin family, it's not like you don't know."
Gu Pingjie nodded when he heard this, leaned in front of Gu Pingxin, and said shyly, "Brother, do you think that the golden fat man will be locked up in Jincheng and released when he gets a child?" ”
"What nonsense, Jojo is still here!"
was reprimanded by Gu Pingxin, Gu Pingjie immediately shut up.
was so gloating that he actually forgot that Jojo was still there.
Gu Pingjie covered his mouth and sat quietly beside Gu Pingxin.
Qiao Lixi smiled generously, "Mrs. Jin also tossed a few times before, every time she said to look at the fat man, she was slipped away by this kid, this time Mrs. Jin spoke, and the fat man had to go back." Although the people of the Jin family love him, the bloodline of the Jin family is also very important, I think, this time it is mostly decided. ”
"Wasn't there a rumor before......" Gu Pingjie didn't dare to say it halfway through, he seemed to have said the wrong thing again.
"Second cousin, do you mean the rumors about me and the fat man?" Qiao Yixi said funny, "Since the second cousin said that those are rumors, what is there to believe?" I am friends with the fat man, a reliable partner, and as for marriage...... Before, there was only one daughter in the long house, and the Jin family only had a gold ingot, and the chances of our two families getting married were not very high. ”
Such a thin bloodline is not safe for both families.
Gu Pingjie also seemed to think of this, and immediately changed the topic, "Qiaoqiao, the matter of the Chamber of Commerce will let Zhong Chenglin and the fat man come forward, there are still two months before the end of the year, Zhong Chenglin will almost come back in half a month, let's prepare well." ”
What to prepare?
Naturally, I am ready to make a big profit at the end of the year.
"Grandfather and grandmother, you all sent letters?" Seeing the two nodding, Qiao Lixi said again: "What about my uncle and aunt?" ”
"Don't worry, we all said hello in advance, and we won't return to Shuzhou this year. My father's reply arrived yesterday, and it didn't say anything in the letter, but I can see what he means between the lines, and they are probably going to come over at the end of the year. My aunt and uncle are here, and a few of our little ones are also here, and my grandmother wants to be in the capital when the New Year is over, and it is all arranged at Chaotianmen anyway. ”
"That's a good thing," Qiao Yixi said with a smile, "If you don't write a letter to ask, if you really want to come, we'll start preparing here." ”
"By the way, the people of the Qiao family, there has been no movement during this time?" Gu Pingjie's thinking jumped quickly, the previous sentence was still talking about the New Year, and the latter sentence was about the Qiao family.
"Qiao's family? What can the Qiao family do? "Qiao Xi's affairs in the Qiao family's rooms, Qiao Lixi really didn't pay attention to it.
"Aren't the two old witches of the Qiao family in the capital, why don't they have a fighting method?" Gu Pingjie said regretfully.
