Chapter 108: The Middle Man (Second Watch)
Xu Li had to admit that Shi Jinxiu was very reasonable.
As the saying goes: wealth is sought in danger.
It's just something that can be fought for a little money, so why not give it a try?
What's more, that little money was won by them in bets.
"Sister! I'll do it with you! Xu Li said to Shi Jinxiu almost without hesitation.
Shi Jinxiu, who got the letter, patted Xu Li's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, if this money is earned in the future, I won't lose your share." ”
"Sister, if you say something like this, you'll see the outside!" Xu Li scratched his head, "Follow my sister, I'm not afraid that I won't be able to make money." ”
Hearing this, Shi Jinxiu's heart was as refreshing as drinking ice water in dog days.
"Okay! Just for you, I won't let you down. Shi Jinxiu made a promise to Xu Li, and then went to find Mrs. Ye.
Since the reopening of Xinxiang Pavilion, business has been getting better day by day.
Mrs. Ye finally had a smile on her face.
She is filial to her husband, and she always wears plain white, which makes her look very delicate when she is only in her twenties.
There are many rights and wrongs in front of this widow's door, and it is inevitable that the people who work in the Xinxiang Pavilion are all female men, and even the shopkeeper is a mother-in-law who can speak well.
During this period, the second child of the Ye family came to the door again to make trouble, and Mrs. Ye reported to the official without saying a word, and asked the official to arrest the person directly.
So much so that her concubine had to go to the government to spend money to redeem her husband.
After singing this play, the two members of the Ye family also felt a little jealous, and they didn't dare to blatantly come to the door to make trouble
Because Mrs. Ye knew how to read and settle accounts, Shi Jinxiu suggested that she bring two clever little maids by her side and take care of the accounts of the incense workshop and the Xinxiang Pavilion, so as not to be calculated by people who have a heart in the future.
Mrs. Ye, who had grown wise from a trench, listened to Shi Jinxiu's words and took care of the accounts of these two places in her hands, and there was nothing wrong in the past few months.
Seeing that it was not yet the day of the new incense in the shop, Shi Jinxiu came, and Mrs. Ye personally greeted her, and asked worriedly, "But what happened?" ”
"There's one thing, but it's inconvenient to talk about it here!" Shi Jinxiu looked left and right, and pulled Mrs. Ye into the innermost tea room.
After the two of them sat down, Shi Jinxiu asked Mrs. Ye: "Sister Fuxin is familiar with Lin Sanye of Longxingxing?" ”
"Third Master Lin of Longxingxing? Why did you suddenly ask about him? Mrs. Ye asked in surprise, "Our family has taken a lot of spices in Longxingxing before, and we have had some dealings with them. ”
"I heard that their Lin Sanye is raising money everywhere and wants to rent a boat and go to sea again, and it just so happens that I have some spare money on hand and want to buy shares." Shi Jinxiu didn't want to hide it from Mrs. Ye, and she felt that the most effective way to communicate was to tell the truth.
"Are you serious?" Mrs. Ye's eyes widened, "This time, the boat of Longxingxing has turned over and there is not a single ...... left."
Shi Jinxiu nodded.
"I know that everyone is not optimistic about Longxingxing now, and there are other merchants who want to take the opportunity to snatch Longxingxing's business at sea," Shi Jinxiu analyzed the pros and cons with Mrs. Ye, "After all, Kolon Xingxing has been at sea for more than 20 years, and it will never collapse because of this capsizing." ”
"Moreover, the sea area that Longxingxing travels through has always been known for its danger, and if you can't even avoid Longxingxing, others can't either." Shi Jinxiu naturally couldn't talk to Mrs. Ye about what happened in her dream, "Instead of investing money in those people with ulterior motives, I think Long Xingxing is more reliable." ”
Mrs. Ye knew that Shi Jinxiu was an assertive person, and she would not change her decision.
"Since that's the case, then I'll help you be this Chinese person and go to find Lin Sanye of Longxingxing." Mrs. Ye said with Shi Jinxiu.
Lin Xie, the young owner of Longxingxing, is the third in the clan, and now he is two out of thirty, although he has taken over Longxingxing for many years, but because his father Mrs. Lin is still alive, he has always regarded himself as a young owner.
Over the years, Longxingxing has developed smoothly in Lin Xie's hands, and its business has become bigger and bigger, and the number of sea ships under its name has expanded from the original two to five.
Just when he saw that the momentum was good and wanted to make a big move, he didn't expect to capsize at sea.
Of the five ships, only one returned, and it was too tattered to sail again.
I didn't dare to say that this trip to the sea would bankrupt the Lin family, but it was also a loss.
He knew that the outside world was rumoring that their Longxingxing was coming to an end, and some people were even gearing up to compete for Longxingxing's current status on the sea.
Therefore, he had to reorganize his fleet and go overseas in a short period of time in order to seal the mouth of the people.
"The female proprietor of Xinxiang Pavilion is looking for me?" Lin Xie, who was a little anxious, was very strange, since Xinxiangge changed to the current female owner, he rarely had any business dealings with Longxingxing.
"Yes, it's not just her, but she also brought another person, saying that she has something important to discuss with you." The steward who comes to deliver the word is a serious one.
Lin Xie, who couldn't guess what Mrs. Ye meant, nodded.
What Shi Jinxiu never expected was that Longxingxing, which was famous in the capital, would hide in a private house.
She followed behind Mrs. Ye, led by the little servant around a bluestone shadow wall, passed through two more halls, and entered a main room.
"Please take a break for the two of you, and I'll go and invite the young owner." The little guy who brought them here was very polite.
"There's Brother Lao." Mrs. Ye smiled and took some broken silver, wanting to reward the little guy in front of her.
I didn't think that the little guy retracted his hands as if he was burned: "This lady should put away the silver, if we let our young owner know, he will definitely not spare me!" ”
With that, the little guy ran out in a puff of smoke.
"This Third Master Lin is really harsh." Shi Jinxiu looked at the furnishings in the room and laughed with Mrs. Ye.
This main room is obviously a place used by Long Xingxing to entertain guests on weekdays, and the room is a water black lacquer furniture, which looks very unpretentious.
But the tea served by the little guys is a good Biluochun, and the tea soup is as clear as a freshly picked tea.
So, does this Lin Sanye, who is in Longxingxing, like to show off, or does he like to be introverted?
Shi Jinxiu was full of curiosity.
Fortunately, Lin Xie didn't let them wait too long, but he was also dressed in white, which made Shi Jinxiu very surprised.
Lin Xie didn't expect that the two of them who came to look for him today were both female dependents, so he decided to solve it quickly.
"I don't know what the two of you are looking for someone Lin?" He couldn't guess the intention of the visitor, and he didn't wait for Mrs. Ye to introduce him, so he asked directly.
