Chapter 009 The Woman
Compared with the lively Xixiangtang opposite, this shop is more than deserted.
The dimly lit shop was gloomy, and the incense piled up on the display shelves had fallen a thin layer of dust, and some had even been hung with slender spider silk......
"Girl...... Why is this shop so panicked? Because no one came out for a long time, the cuckoo grabbed Shi Jinxiu, who wanted to go inside.
Shi Jinxiu was about to say "nothing", but he heard a "clang" inside, as if something had fallen to the ground.
Shi Jinxiu was slightly stunned, and then her expression changed greatly, and she didn't care about everyone's beautiful demeanor at all, so she lifted her skirt and ran to the back hall.
As she ran, she silently said in her heart: Don't be that thing!
But God doesn't fulfill people's wishes.
As soon as she ran into the back hall, she saw two embroidered shoes dangling in the air.
Without thinking about it in a hurry, Shi Jinxiu hurriedly stepped forward and hugged the other party's legs, trying to lift the woman hanging on the beam, but found that his strength was not enough at all.
"Cuckoo! Hurry up and save people! Seeing that the cuckoo looked very flustered on the side, Shi Jinxiu reminded her, "Hurry up and find a pair of scissors and twist the white silk hanging on the beam!" β
But before the cuckoo could react, the white silk hanging on the beam suddenly broke off, and the woman hanging on the beam fell down like this, and fell into a ball with Shi Jinxiu.
Caring about so much, Shi Jinxiu quickly turned over and sat up and probed the woman's snort.
"And gas!" This discovery made Shi Jinxiu very happy, and she hurriedly pinched the other party's middle and tiger mouths.
"Ahem...... cough cough ......" After some effort, the woman woke up slowly, and when she saw Shi Jinxiu and Du Juan, she said in a hoarse voice, "Why did you save me? I'm having a hard time...... Why don't you just let me go......"
"Have you ever thought about your son? He already has no father, no more mother, have you thought about how he is going to live? Shi Jinxiu didn't bother to talk to this woman, "Do you think that entrusting him to his uncle and aunt will be all right?" When they say that you are a husband, will they not say that your son is a father and mother? β
Every word Shi Jinxiu said pierced the woman's heart like a knife.
"No...... No...... After all, Rong'er is the bloodline of the Ye family...... They won't be so ruthless......" The woman shook her head frantically, not wanting to accept Shi Jinxiu's statement.
"Mrs. Ye, don't be naΓ―ve!" Shi Jinxiu sneered, "Why do you think they said that you had an affair with an outsider and forced you to hand over this shop?" Is it really for the little money that is less than 100 taels a month? What they want is this plaque on your head, this plaque that has been passed down by your Ye family for nearly a hundred years! β
Listening to Shi Jinxiu's words, the woman who was called Mrs. Ye looked up stupidly.
I saw a plaque made of red sandalwood carved with the four vigorous and powerful words of "Xinxiang Family", and the signature on the side was actually Emperor Renzong a hundred years ago, and it was also the treasure of Emperor Renzong.
"Although the business of Xixiangtang on the opposite side is doing well, it lacks some inheritance, so they took a fancy to this plaque." Shi Jinxiu continued to say lightly, "If you really confess here today, won't it be just as they intended?" β
As soon as she heard this, a fire suddenly appeared in Mrs. Ye's originally discouraged eyes: "Impossible! They used subterfuge to force my husband to death, and the second uncle will not be in the same boat with them! β
"Don't forget, the wealth in this world is moving!" Shi Jinxiu reminded, "After all, this shop is in your hands, and they won't get any benefits either." β
Mrs. Ye looked at Shi Jinxiu in disbelief, and only after a long time did she stumble and say, "You...... How do you know these ......?"
Shi Jinxiu smiled firmly.
Because that's how things turned out in her dreams.
The Li family used disgraceful means to force the two owners of Xinxiang Pavilion to death, and then took the plaque that had been inherited for a hundred years for themselves, and since then has controlled the incense market in the capital and started a unique business.
It's just this, she naturally can't tell Mrs. Ye clearly, so she has to laugh and say, "Because I'm here to help you!" Give me half a month, and I can bring your shop back to life! β
Can you bring the shop back to life in half a month?
said that Mrs. Ye was not moved, it was all false.
"But ...... you?" Mrs. Ye looked up and down at Shi Jinxiu.
The little girl in front of her was only fifteen or sixteen years old, with red lips and white teeth, and a pair of black deer eyes that were round and smooth, revealing cleverness and confidence.
"How?" It's not that she doesn't believe her, it's just that even her husband hasn't done it, how can this little girl do it?
Shi Jinxiu smiled and lit a plate of homemade Mu Nianhua: "Naturally, I use this!" β
As the smoke rose, the fresh and elegant fragrance spread, and Mrs. Ye felt a sense of comfort that she had never felt before.
She only felt that the fragrance was familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had smelled it, and when she was thinking about it, the fragrance seemed to become stronger, as if people were suddenly in a sea of flowers, and the natural smell was not smoky at all......
When Mrs. Ye was about to sigh at the magic, people followed the fragrance and came to the door one after another.
In the next half an hour, not only the fifty packs of Mu Nianhua brought by Shi Jinxiu were sold out, but even the incense products in the Xinxiang Pavilion that had been unattended for half a year were also sold.
"How did you do that?" If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Mrs. Ye really didn't want to believe what had just happened.
"It's just a new product." Shi Jinxiu showed maturity and confidence that did not match her age, "The reason why you can't fight the Xixiangtang on the other side over the years is because they have the incense you have, but the incense they have, you don't!" β
"If you want to defeat the Xixiangtang opposite, you must constantly innovate." Shi Jinxiu said to Mrs. Ye very seriously, "You also saw just now, how popular Mu Nianhua is with everyone, and I still have a lot of incense recipes like Mu Nianhua!" β
"If you want, I would like to use these incense recipes to invest in Xinxiang Pavilion, and then divide it with you fifty-fifty." Shi Jinxiu also didn't go around in circles like Mrs. Ye, but directly stated her plan.
If someone had said such a thing to herself half a year ago, Mrs. Ye would still feel that the other party was plotting against her, but in the past six months, Xinxiang Pavilion has already fallen so far that it may close down at any time, and the other party has such a good incense recipe, even if she opens a store on her own, it is much more cost-effective than cooperating with herself.
As if seeing Mrs. Ye's hesitation, Shi Jinxiu pointed to the plaque above the two of them and smiled: "Because I also fancy this brand, I don't want it to fall into the hands of others." β
