Chapter 21: Pretending to be stupid

"Linglong, this son still has something to do in the afternoon." Lin Shaoxuan said, and took out another two hundred taels of silver tickets.

"You take this silver, look at it yourself, add some things, and buy a few maids, servants, old mothers, when you finish cleaning up, say it, pick a good day, and this son will pick you up and move over. We'll have to invite a few friends to have some fun. ”

Tidying up the house, opening a shop, and buying people, these Lin Shaoxuan were all black-eyed. Didn't your father want to train you to be a lady in charge, so I will leave it to you.

"Son, please rest assured, Linglong will take care of it, and within three days, I will ensure that the master will be properly handled."

"Oh, also, you can also think about the store in the next few days, and come to discuss it with you when Ben Gongzi is free. Let's close the doors these days. ”

After Lin Shaoxuan finished speaking, he left Cai Qing to call Linglong, and rode out by himself.

I'm a big guy, and you two can handle these little things.

That Linglong really has the bearing of a lady in charge, and she asked Cai Qing to buy another big lock, and she went upstairs to check it first.

Cai Qing came back from buying the lock, and she was sitting behind the counter making a list.

Yahuan, mother-in-law, maid, concierge, buy if you can, and hire if you can't buy it.

The curtains, and the curtains, and the bedding, and the bedding, shall all be renewed.

The kitchen, bedroom, embroidery building, and garden still have to be cleaned up......

Linglong wrote while thinking, and after a while, a long column opened.

"Cai Qing, come with me to the dental store for another trip." Yu Linglong blew the list, put it in her sleeves, and took Cai Qing to find someone to buy someone.

Lin Shaoxuan rode a horse and walked casually, heading towards the happy shop on Xiaoyu Street.

This small royal street is really prosperous, the street is smooth and wide, there are many shops on the side of the road, restaurants are all over, and all kinds of businesses are available. Mrs. Lin's wedding shop is in the most prosperous area, sitting north and facing south.

Lin Shaoxuan didn't go in first, found a restaurant nearby, handed over the horses to Xiao Er, and went up to the second floor by himself.

Finding a small table by the window to sit down, Lin Shaoxuan ordered a few side dishes and a pot of wine, and observed the business of this happy shop while drinking.

The vermilion lacquer gate, the plaque with black characters on a red background, and the four big characters of "Dragon and Phoenix Joy Shop" are written on it.

There are guys in front of the door to greet customers, and when they see someone looking, they will greet them warmly. The inside of the door is not real, but it is also festive and auspicious, and many customers are in the store and don't know what to see.

It seems that Fauber is really a good manager, and this store is well managed.

After looking at his own store, Lin Shaoxuan went to look at other stores. The businesses that sell cloth and silk, jewelry hairpins, and rouge gouache are all good, pawnshops, inns, and restaurants are also doing well, and iron shops, bookstores, pharmacies, and carriage and horse shops are also very good.

It seems that he was born in a prosperous world.

Lin Shaoxuan was not in a hurry, he looked at all the shops opposite, ate and drank enough, and then slowly swallowed the money downstairs, and led the horse to the door of the dragon and phoenix shop.

"This guest officer, do you want to come in and have a look? Our store is new to the wedding dress, happy quilt, all kinds of wedding cakes, happy fruits, everything. The man at the door saw him stop and watch, and hurried up to sell it.

Yes, it's quite clever, but I can't recognize people.

"Where's Fauber? called him out, and said that the second son was here. After Lin Shaoxuan finished speaking, he went to the side to tie the horse and no longer paid attention to the young man.

Second son? I heard Fauber say that the little proprietor will come in the afternoon, is this it?

The young man looked at Lin Shaoxuan and saw that he was wearing a snow white cloud brocade robe, with blue and gold double welts, light cyan bluegrass embroidered on the hem of the placket, a black moire woven gold belt around his waist, and a Pisces jade pendant and a purse embroidered with gold on a black background.

What a rich and handsome merry man!

The guy didn't dare to slack off, and quickly ran into the store to report.

After a while, Fauber came out.

"Second son, you're here! Quick, please inside. ”

Lin Shaoxuan followed Fu Bo into the wedding shop and watched carefully.

This is also a three-room front door, in the middle is the hall to welcome guests, with two rows of opposite circle chairs, on the left and right two rooms are all kinds of red wedding dresses, happy bags, wedding quilts, hijabs, fabrics, and on the other side are all kinds of flower candles, candlesticks, dressing boxes, and many wedding cakes, happy fruits and wedding necessary sundries.

Fu Bo led Lin Shaoxuan into the store and sat down, and his own buddies brought tea.

"The second son is here today, and the small shop is really shining!"

Alas, I said you old goods, I'm not here to buy things, why are you fooling me?

"Fauber, this shop is doing well, no wonder my mother asked me to learn from you. Where do we start? ”

Lin Shaoxuan didn't plan to talk nonsense with him, today he just came to pose for others to see, if he really wants to learn something, he has to do it in private.

This is about to start? Fauber couldn't answer. You said you were a little gentleman and had nothing to learn to do business? Isn't it good to go home and wait to count the money? What a mess!

"Then let's look at the account books first?" Fauber asked tentatively.

"Okay, let's take a look." Lin Shaoxuan looked indispensable, in fact, he still wanted to see this ancient account book in his heart.

"Second son, please come with me."

After Fu Bo took Lin Shaoxuan to the counter, he opened the cabinet and took out a thick account book.

Lin Shaoxuan took it and looked at it casually, and sure enough, the ancient account books were all running accounts, and the income and expenditure were not separated, and there was a note.

"This is the book of the month, which has not yet been settled. Does Childe want to watch last month? ”

"You go get it, I'll see."

Lin Shaoxuan pretended not to understand, flipped it very casually, but was actually already calculating in his heart. He was very sensitive to numbers, but because the bookkeeping was not an Arabic numeral, it was a bit troublesome to read.

After a while, Fauber retrieved the previous month's account books. Lin Shaoxuan glanced at the front casually, and went directly to the final ledger.

The cost includes the cost of purchase, labor, various dots, and handing over to the yamen, and the income is to summarize the daily flow. Plus plus minus minus, the overall income is good, and there is a net profit of about 800 taels a month.

Fu Bo is already very fine, but this account book is still too rough for Lin Shaoxuan. In the future, when running your own store, you must introduce modern bookkeeping methods, and if you have time, you will want to teach Linglong. Lin Shaoxuan turned over and thought, but his face pretended to be dazed.

"This is, last month, I received eight hundred taels? With so little, how do you do business? ”

didn't know how to pretend to understand the standard layman's tone, and almost Faber to death.

"Back to the second son, the income of this store is already good on this street, and there are many people who are not good at management, which is much worse than ours."

Oh, the implication is that you're good at business. Lin Shaoxuan smiled secretly, returned the account book to Fu Bo, and returned to the hall to continue drinking tea.

"Leave me alone, I'll just take a look, and you can go about your business." Lin Shaoxuan waved his hand and told Fu Bo not to follow, he was busy himself, and then he drank tea while watching the guys in the store do business.

Lin Shaoxuan shook his head secretly in his heart while watching. Too passive! It's just that you have entered all kinds of goods and are waiting for people in need to choose, so you can't be a little creative?

Wedding, the most important thing in life, how can you easily let them go if you spend money like water? Do you understand the sales package? Will there be a buy and give event? Passionate consumption to understand? Will hiding customers dig in?

I will be able to increase my income by three to fifty percent. Lin Shaoxuan, who had watched it for a long time, almost understood, he covered his mouth and yawned, and yawned again.

"Let's go, this son still has something to do, come back in two days." Saying hello, Lin Shaoxuan raised his leg and left.

"Alas, this second son!" Fauber was disappointed.

Originally, when he heard that the young owner was going to come to the store to learn how to do business, Fu Bo was also happy, thinking that he was finally going to turn back on the prodigal son, and his wife would have something to rely on in the future. Who knows, just glanced at the account books a few times, drank a pot of tea, and turned around and left.

"Alas!" Fauber sighed all afternoon.

Lin Shaoxuan walked out of the dragon and phoenix shop and led the horse to walk slowly in the market.

The shops are similar, the decoration style is almost the same, and the goods inside are dazzling, and there are customers coming in and out from time to time.

It seems that my wife is not an ordinary lady, and the shop where she married has a very good market and a prosperous business, and I heard that there are several other businesses that are also very good.

Recalling some of the novels I had read before, it seems that the young lady of a big family is married, and the one who marries will have a grange in addition to the shop? Go back and ask carefully, and when you have time, you can go to the old lady's Zhuangzi to play.

Lin Shaoxuan walked around, and when he slowly returned to Chunxi Road, Yu Linglong had already bought it back with Cai Qingcai.

"A few of you have received the tools to clean up your room first, and then arrange the main courtyard when the master comes."

"Don't stand, go to the back and clean the courtyard first, sweep the floor clean, and wipe the window latticework and columns."

"Cook, you put down your baggage and go clean up the kitchen, if you still need anything to report to me quickly, I'll buy it immediately."

"Childe, you're back! I'm looking for you to get an idea. ”

Yu Linglong left the Qinglou and got the right to be in charge of the house, and she was full of energy, and when she saw Lin Shaoxuan coming in, she quickly let him into the door.

In addition to Cai Qing and Linglong, there were also a few people standing in the house.

Two thirteen or fourteen-year-old girls, two maids, three women in their thirties, and an old man in his forties.

"Lin Gongzi is back, let's close the door and go into the house to talk."

Yu Linglong took a few people into the inner hall, walked out of the small door, and walked into the house.

In the morning, Lin Shaoxuan just took a closer look at his new home.

After listening to Yu Linglong's introduction, Lin Shaoxuan knew that this store was only connected to the back door of the house, and it was also the backyard.

"Master, the slave family arranged for the master to be in the main courtyard, I don't know if the master wants to come to live permanently, or if he wants to bring his own ladder people, and the slave has not prepared a ring for the master."

"No, I'll arrange for someone to come over myself."

Lin Shaoxuan had already thought about it, so he called Mianmian to come. That little girl is soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, she has an idea, and she is just right here. The scrivener, he has other important arrangements.

"The slave family lives in the Chunqing Building next to the main courtyard, and the other courtyards are temporarily empty."

"What do you think is the arrangement?"

"Well, that's good. Put these two in order, and you're ready to move in. Elsewhere take your time. ”

"Yes, the slave family will tell people to do it. The Shen family moved out not long ago, and it was very convenient to clean up. ”

Waiting for Linglong to arrange for a few newly bought subordinates to go out to work, Lin Shaoxuan said to her: "Linglong, what is your real name?" Leaving that Chunxiang Building, you might as well change back to your real name. ”

Yu Linglong's eyes were slightly red, with hidden tears, and she bowed to Lin Shaoxuan: "Xinya, thank you for your success!" ”
