Chapter 57
Because of Xu Yirou's relationship, Gu Sixian had a good time at the peach blossom banquet, and the only thing that was uncomfortable was that Cao Baozhen had to target her everywhere. When she went back, Jiang Xuehe asked how the two brothers and sisters were at the Xu family, and Gu Sixian told the truth.
Gu Sixing smiled after hearing this: "Zixi is quite satisfied with Ah Xian, and her eyes can't help but glance at her at the banquet, but she is afraid that Ah Xian will be abrupt, so she always turns back." I just see that he has been there to want to see but dare not look at it, and it is strangely interesting. It's just that his actions are causing trouble to Ah Xian, I heard that Miss Cao has been liking Xu Zixi for a long time, and now she will inevitably target Ah Xian. ”
Jiang Xuehe said with a smile: "Then Miss Cao is not from the Xu family, what she thinks has nothing to do with us." As long as Third Young Master Xu likes it, Master Xu and Mrs. Xu are also satisfied. By the way, what does Ah Xian think of Third Young Master Xu? ”
Gu Sixian thought about the scene when she saw Xu Zixi when she entered the door today, and said truthfully: "I'm not familiar with it yet, but I don't hate it." ”
Jiang Xuehe thought to herself, since she doesn't hate it, she should still be able to develop and develop, not to mention looking at Gu Sixian's expression, it shouldn't just be that she doesn't hate it.
"By the way, sister-in-law, I don't want to sell silk flowers in Jinxiufang in the future." Gu Sixian said again, "That splendid workshop turned out to be Mrs. Cao's dowry, and she will give Miss Cao a dowry in the future, she is full of disdain for silk flowers, and I don't want to sell it to her family anymore, will my sister-in-law think I am willful?" ”
Jiang Xuehe smiled: "What's this? There are so many stores in the county that can help sell on behalf of others, so let's find another one, but we have to wait for all the goods that we said before to be delivered. As for which store to find in the future, I'll find someone to help you inquire, and try not to have anything to do with the Cao family. ”
Gu Sixian nodded and said, "I have done all the previous batches, and my sister-in-law can just send them over for me." ”
Jiang Xuehe nodded, thinking that it seems that in the future, it is best to inquire about other people's details in advance. If she had asked more about who the real owner of Fairview was, and then asked a little about the Cao family, she would definitely know that Cao Baozhen liked Xu Zixi. It's just that when Gu Sixian just made silk flowers for Jinxiufang, Jiang Xuehe didn't know that Gu Sixian was related to the Xu family, if she knew, she would definitely find another one for Gu Sixian.
The shopkeeper of the Splendid Workshop is not bad, and he has always been very reliable, but it is a pity that he is only a shopkeeper no matter what, and in the end he still has to listen to Cao Baozhen, in order to avoid trouble, they really can't cooperate with the Splendid Workshop anymore.
The last batch of silk flowers was sent by Jiang Xuehe to Jinxiufang in person, and the shopkeeper treated them quite well at the beginning, but now this business can't be done, so they have to make it clear to others.
When the shopkeeper heard that Gu Sixian would not cooperate with them in the future, his first reaction was that Gu Sixian thought that there was less money. In fact, it is understandable that the fabrics he gave Gu Sixian have always been leftovers, and they can't be sold at a good price. At the beginning, his price was actually very fair, there are indeed not many people in Songyue County who will buy those silk flowers, but who let Gu Sixian make silk flowers with fewer repetitive styles?
She basically only makes four or five copies of each silk flower at most, and the color of each one is different, although there are not many girls in the county who will buy that kind of silk flower, but there are still thirty or forty pieces of it. These girls are the daughters of wealthy merchants, and they have a circle of their own, no matter what they do on weekdays, they have to compare with each other, and those styles of silk flowers emerge in endlessly, and they always have to scramble to grab them, so they have to speculate on high prices.
Judging from the price at which each silk flower is sold today, the price he set for Gu Sixian before is indeed too low. He also thought about raising Gu Sixian's salary before, but the owner told him that as long as people didn't mention it, then they didn't have to rush to raise the salary.
But now that people are not happy, he must quickly find a way to keep people.
"If it's a matter of wages, it's easy to discuss, I originally thought about giving Miss Gu a rise, you see this style in the future, how about three taels of silver?"
Jiang Xuehe smiled: "The shopkeeper is kind, I am grateful, but it is not suitable." ”
"What's not right? Such a price is actually fair, and even if the lady goes elsewhere, she may not be able to find a higher price than this. The shopkeeper frowned.
He asked himself if he was not thin on Jiang Xuehe's concubines, and he also thought that he had always been easy to talk to, but if Jiang Xuehe dared to open his mouth, then he would definitely not compromise.
Jiang Xuehe said with a smile: "I naturally trust the character of the shopkeeper, otherwise I wouldn't have cooperated for so long." It's just that Miss Cao doesn't look down on the craftsmanship of the little sister, and the little sister doesn't dare to continue to beg in the Cao family's shop, and she hopes that the shopkeeper will forgive her. ”
"This ...... Where do you start? "The shopkeeper only felt inexplicable, when he took the silk flowers to the Cao family before, Miss Cao was obviously very happy! Looking at it like that, I obviously like it too.
"Truth be told, it's not nonsense." Jiang Xuehe sighed and said, "It wasn't a long-term contract that I signed at the beginning, but now it's a good gathering and dispersion, thank you for taking care of the shopkeeper during this time." There are three more pairs of silk flowers here, which will be given to you, and there is no need for another settlement. ”
Jiang Xuehe left after speaking, and the shopkeeper wanted to ask more clearly, but was stopped by Diao Ruyue, and it was not until Jiang Xuehe walked away that Diao Ruyue let go and chased after him quickly.
After breaking off the cooperation with Jinxiufang, Jiang Xuehe went to find a few related shops, but she was not very satisfied, thinking that if the Gu family had no foundation in Songyue County, she wanted to open a shop for Gu Sixian directly. If you open a shop directly, Gu Sixian can do whatever she wants, it is free and convenient, and she doesn't need to look at other people's faces.
It's just that there are four major families in Songyue County, if Gu Sixian can really open the shop, it will definitely violate their interests, and there will be a lot of trouble at that time. Although the Xu family may help, if she opens a separate shop for Gu Sixian, then this shop will definitely be her dowry in the future. Once the Xu family helps, in the end, others will definitely say that Gu Sixian borrowed the east wind of the Xu family before she got married, and she will inevitably be looked down upon in the future.
The more Jiang Xuehe thought about it, the more she felt a headache, so she went back to discuss the matter with Gu Siyan.
Gu Siyan said with a smile: "Didn't you say before that whether it is embroidery or silk flowers, you don't want Ah Xian to do more?" ”
Jiang Xuehe nodded: "Naturally, embroidery hurts the eyes, silk flowers pierce the hands, the third sister is a good daughter, naturally you have to be careful, you can't hurt your eyes and hands." ”
"But you've persuaded her many times, but she hasn't listened, hasn't she?" Gu Siyan said with a smile, "The first batch of goods is quite restrained, because she is not sure how much she can sell, so she doesn't dare to do more, but the more she gets to the end, the more she has no scruples, obviously this time she only needs to hand over a hundred pairs of silk flowers, but now that the goods are delivered, she still has more than fifty pairs there, right?" ”
Jiang Xuehe said helplessly: "I have persuaded many times, she always said that she did it quickly, but her eyes were blue." ”
"She does it quickly and well, supported by the name of Splendid Workshop, no matter how much she does, she can sell it, so she has no fear and doesn't know moderation at all."
Jiang Xuehe frowned and said: "I can't say that, when you were sick like that, it must have scared her, and it is understandable that she wants to help save more money." But no matter how much money she makes, you don't want to take it, if you are not afraid that she will be sad, I will tell her the truth directly. ”
Jiang Xuehe thought to herself, the money Gu Sixian earned would be given to her on the day she got married, which would be a surprise, but if she didn't accept it now, the girl would inevitably be sad.
Gu Siyan smiled bitterly: "I know, so I can teach her a lesson about other things with a straight face, but I know this thing clearly, but I can't open my mouth, it was originally my incompetent brother who made her suffer." ”
"That's not your fault, it's ......" Jiang Xuehe didn't know how to comfort her for a while, so she immediately changed the topic back, "What you meant before was that as long as there was a shop to help sell on her behalf, she couldn't help but do more, but now that there is no shop, she can do less, right?" ”
Gu Siyan felt that her topic was quite blunt, but she still nodded, pretending not to hear anything.
As soon as Jiang Xuehe was nervous, her brain turned fast: "The silk flowers made by the third sister are not affordable by ordinary people, and they are basically bought by rich girls in the county." The number of those girls is limited, instead of opening a shop or looking for a shop to sell on behalf of them, it is better to connect with those girls directly? ”
Gu Siyan asked with a smile, "Did Xue Niang think of any good ideas?" ”
"I think so, the relationship between the third sister and the third girl of the Xu family is not bad, when she went back to be a guest, she gave Miss Xu a pair of silk flowers, Miss Xu was embarrassed, and she had to pay her directly. But the third sister was afraid that she would spoil her feelings, so she refused to accept it. Jiang Xuehe said with a smile, "But the Xu family is also a businessman, so they may not have a bad relationship for this kind of thing." I think Miss Xu really likes the third sister's craftsmanship, and I will ask her tomorrow if she is willing to directly help the third sister take some orders. ”
Gu Siyan asked with a smile: "Didn't you say before that if you open a shop and have to be taken care of by the Xu family, Ah Xian will be looked down upon in the future?" Why do you want Miss Xu San to help you now? ”
Jiang Xuehe said with a smile: "Although they all borrowed the relationship of the Xu family first, there are some differences in the end. There are too many places to open a shop, and it is very troublesome to just supply the goods, and it will inevitably need to be provided by the Xu family when the time comes, and in the end, the shadow of the Xu family is everywhere in the whole shop. Even if it's mostly based on the third sister's own ability, others won't think so. But taking orders alone is different, although it needs to be introduced by Miss Xu, but the materials and everything will be left to those girls by themselves, and the third sister only needs to be responsible for the craftsmanship. Although this has some relationship with the Xu family, it is mainly the third sister's own ability. ”
Gu Siyan said with a smile: "Xue Niang is right, although they all borrowed the east wind of the Xu family, but if you open a shop, there are too many places where the Xu family needs to intervene, and in the end, it is not easy to say whether it is the Xu family's shop or the third sister's shop." ”
Jiang Xuehe also thought so, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this matter was feasible, and the next day she went directly to Xu's house to find Xu Yirou.
