Chapter 143: It's just not pleasing to the eye
As soon as the Han family's women's store Beauty Street opened, it showed a strong momentum. There are more or less connections between large families in Jinling, and the contact between the female relatives of various families is naturally very frequent. In particular, those ladies realized the superiority of new costumes and were reluctant to use traditional costumes.
The women's store also has an important customer base, that is, the girls of Qinhuaihe, who are willing to spend money on new clothes, thus forming a new fashion of wearing cheongsam.
Half a month has passed, and there is an endless stream of female customers who enter and leave Beauty Street every day, and some of them still come from other places after hearing the news. The ladies of those big families in Jinling, as long as they go out, have developed the habit of visiting Beauty Street.
In fact, many of the clothes sold in women's stores are necessities for women in later generations, and the booming business is also expected by Han Fei. He secretly observed for a few days, and when he saw that the operation of the women's store was on the right track, he no longer intervened and completely handed over the operation to a few women.
When it comes to the month of Layue, Han Fei's affairs have increased again, and the Chamber of Commerce and the Han industry have to make a year-end summary, especially the Chamber of Commerce, which involves the interests of all parties, and must make a reasonable arrangement, and at the same time discuss next year's plan.
At this time, he found a problem, He Cuiqin, the elder of the Chamber of Commerce, has not seen him for more than half a month, usually the members are busy with things, and it is normal not to come to the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce to participate in the meeting, but now it is different. He Cuiqin is a major member of the Chamber of Commerce and an elder of the Elder Hall, and she must be present to participate in the year-end meetings.
"Young master, the guy who went to Miss He's residence to deliver the letter is back, according to the He family, Miss He has been sick for several days and can't come to the meeting!" Ling'er walked into Han Fei's duty room from the outside and reported it.
"Sick? It's good, why is it sick? Han Fei looked up at Ling'er and said, "How is Miss He's condition?" ”
"The slave doesn't know...... Ling'er hesitated for a while, and then said, "Young master, Miss He's illness may be fake!" ”
"Oh? What do you mean by that? ”
"Young master, when the slave went to see her father and them yesterday, she happened to meet Miss He's car, and she was still inspecting the He family's shop!"
Han Fei was silent. Why did He Cuiqin lie that she was sick? Does she have an opinion about the Chamber of Commerce, or did she offend that little girl? Han Fei thought about it, but he didn't know what the problem was, and the bell had to be tied to the bell, and if she wanted to untie her heart knot, she had to go to her.
"Ling'er, tell me to go down and prepare the car!"
The He family has a house in Jinling, which is also next to Xuanwu Lake in the north of the city, and is across the lake from the Han family. The house of the He family used to be the permanent residence of He Chengfei, the second son of the He family, and now it has become the base of the eldest lady He Cuiqin.
Han Fei took Ling'er and rushed to the door of the He family's house by car and reported to enter. After a while, He Cuiqin's maid Yue'er walked out quickly and said, "Master Han, I'm sorry, my young lady is sick and can't see the guest ......."
Han Fei glanced at Yue'er lightly and walked into the gate of the He family.
"Han Gongzi, Han Gongzi ......" Yue'er followed behind, deliberately obstructing, but also a little undare, and shouted anxiously.
Han Fei walked to the door of the hall in the front yard, stopped, and said to Yue'er: "You go and tell Miss Jia, whether she is sick or not, Han Mou will see her, even if she is really sick, with Han's medical skills, I believe she can be cured!" ”
Yue'er opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything, turned around and ran to the backyard.
After a quarter of an hour, Yue'er returned to the living room in the front yard, saluted Han Fei, and said, "Master Han, my young lady invites you to enter the living room for a while!" ”
When Han Fei arrived at the door of the second living room, he already saw He Cuiqin sitting inside, with her head down and not knowing what she was thinking.
"Miss He, aren't you sick, you'll get better so soon?" Han Fei glanced at He Cuiqin and sat down on the chair opposite her.
"What does it matter to you whether Miss Ben is sick or not?" He Cuiqin snorted and tilted her head to the side.
"It's not a small fire!"
Han Fei saw from He Cuiqin's attitude that it might really be when he offended this eldest lady, and couldn't help asking, "Miss He, did Han offend you somewhere?" ”
"Humph!"
"Don't hum, we have always cooperated seamlessly, if you have something to say, if it is Han's fault, I will sincerely apologize to you!"
"Hmph...... Miss Ben has no deep family background, and she is not the most beautiful flower in Qinhuai River, how dare she ask you to apologize to Master Han? ”
Where is this? Han Fei finally understood, this little girl's skin ...... Jealous! But as for it? Even if you want to be jealous, it won't be her turn, Han Fei couldn't help crying and laughing.
"Miss He, are you jealous?"
"Phew! Who's jealous? He Cuiqin jumped up from the chair like a kitten whose tail had been stepped on, and glared at Han Fei angrily.
"Okay, okay, it's good that you're not jealous!" Han Fei got up and walked up to He Cuiqin and said, "Actually, I don't think it's possible, you Miss He, in terms of family talent and appearance, who is worse?" Well, although it's a little rude and willful, it's still good overall! ”
"Who is rude and willful, unreasonable?" The expression on He Cuiqin's face softened a lot, sat heavily on the chair, and hummed, "You don't look down on me at all!" ”
"Nonsense, if I look down on you, will let you, this girl, sit in the Hall of Elders of the Chamber of Commerce and participate in the decision-making of the Chamber of Commerce? On the ground in the south of the Yangtze River, which merchant shopkeeper called you respectfully and respectfully? Not to mention your brothers, I'm afraid your father's reputation is not as great as yours, right? ”
These are all facts, and they are also things that He Cuiqin is comfortable with, she immediately lowered her head and was silent.
Han Fei took the tea handed by Yue'er, drank a few sips, and saw that He Cuiqin was still silent, so he said: "If you have something, say it quickly, we grew up in the same mountain village, what can't you say, what is it that makes you not even go to the Chamber of Commerce?" At the end of the year, the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce are complicated, and I don't expect you to help me, but also to add to the chaos! ”
"Who's ......"
"Don't talk about anyone!"
He Cuiqin was silent for a moment and said, "You handed over the medicinal herb business to the Wei family, and the brewing business to the Xue family, we still ...... Fellow villagers, but they didn't give me anything, and if there was nothing suitable for me, I won't say anything, and the business in Beauty Street is obviously suitable for me to do, so why don't you let it be given to me? ”
Han Fei completely understood, it turned out to be the fault of Beauty Street.
"Miss He, let me tell you clearly, Beauty Street is not only selling clothes, but also the most important one, perfume ......"
"What is perfume?"
"Don't ask for the time being, it will be on sale in March or April next year!"
Han Fei said solemnly: "Clothes and the like, others can imitate them, but perfume can't be imitated in the short term, I want to leave this business to the descendants of the Han family, and it will only be the Han family who is in charge of this business!" You should see that the Xue family sisters and my junior sister Dulan are not involved, and of course you are the same, unless you become a member of the Han family one day, I will consider it! ”
"Hmph, who's rare...... Even if what you say is reasonable, why do you let those three foxes in Qinglou be the shopkeepers? ”
"They are three poor people, what do you compare with them?"
"Miss Ben just doesn't like them, they can coax men ......"
"Okay, they're pitiful enough, you can keep some virtue!" Han Fei glared at He Cuiqin, and said, "In business, don't you think it's a good move for me to let them serve as the shopkeeper of Beauty Street?" ”
