Chapter 148: The Crown Princess's Intentions
Although Mrs. Li had never personally seen He Zhong in Song Jin's mouth, she had heard of He Zhong many times in the mouth of her wife.
Mrs. once said that He Zhong is a good businessman, and he can plan and do things, he is honest and capable, such a person, he stayed to help the girl take care of a few shops on Siping Street.
Now the girl wants He Zhong to take charge of a few shops on Siping Street, which is also expected by her.
Since the girl is going to Siping Street, she will accompany the girl.
"Girl, what is the case is indeed honest and capable. If the girl went to the East Palace to serve on an errand and handed over these shops on Siping Street to the manager to take care of, the girl and Mrs. should be at ease. ”
Mrs. Li said naturally.
She originally intended to choose one between Steward Li and He Zhong, and let one of them come out to take care of the shops on Siping Street instead of her.
Song Jin originally selected Steward Li, and Steward Li's ability to take care of the shop was no worse than He Zhong, and even had a lot more than He Zhong.
However, the reason why she didn't let Steward Li replace her to take care of these shops on Siping Street was related to the silk village that Steward Li is now taking care of.
Now the actual person in charge of the silk village is still the uncle of the Zhao family.
At least half of the annual profits must be handed over to the uncle of the Zhao family. If the four shops on Siping Street are handed over to Steward Li to take care of, what if the uncle of the Zhao family covets them and wants to take away these four shops?
The four shops on Siping Street were the dowry shops given by my grandmother to the Zhao family, but at the beginning, the uncle of the Zhao family was asked to go one more, and my grandmother did not blame much.
If the uncle of the Zhao family hides the title deeds of the remaining three shops, I am afraid that my grandmother will still favor my uncle.
In order to avoid such a thing from happening, Song Jin could only let He Zhong replace her and take care of the four shops.
However, she can let Steward Li and Steward Yuan of the ready-to-wear store help He Zhong secretly.
A moment later, the carriage arrived at Siping Street.
In order to avoid letting Song Jin get out of the car and walk, Mrs. Li directly asked the coachman to drive the carriage to the alley next to the White Silk Shop at the end of the street.
Yesterday, Song Jin asked someone to hand over the news, saying that she came to Siping Street today.
He Zhong took a few small people in the shop and waited in front of the shop early in the morning.
Seeing the Song family's carriage driving over, before Song Jin got out of the carriage, He Zhong took a few small servants to greet him.
"Girl, you're finally here, the villain has been waiting for you here for a long time." Hearing He Zhong's voice, Song Jin was held by Bai He and immediately got out of the carriage.
Because Song Jin had something important to discuss with He Zhong, he was afraid that it would not be good to discuss it on the street where people came and went.
He Zhong also felt that it was not appropriate, so he asked Song Jin, Li Pozi and others to enter the White Silk Workshop and go to the courtyard behind the White Silk Workshop.
In order to prevent idle people from approaching the house and inquiring about the news, Song Jin specially instructed Mrs. Li and Bai He, and let Mrs. Li and Bai He stay outside the house. She was discussing things with He Zhong in the house.
"What's in charge, I'm going to enter the East Palace to serve on an errand in a few days, and when the time comes, the big and small things of the four shops on Siping Street will be handed over to Steward He."
Seeing that He Zhong wanted to speak, as if he wanted to shirk it, Song Jin said again, stopping the thought in his heart.
"I don't have to shirk the matter, I have already discussed this matter with my wife, and my wife and I agreed to let Steward He take care of the affairs of these shops on Siping Street instead of me. Not only that, but I also discussed with my wife and asked Steward He to replace Zeng Xiuniang and become the steward of the embroidery workshop. ”
"The embroidery workshop is the most profitable among the shops on Siping Street, but when Zeng Xiuniang was in charge, she filled her pockets and didn't know how much silver she moved into her own pockets. Now that Zeng Xiuniang is going to be sent to Zhuangzi in the countryside, the embroidery workshop can only let He Steward be the shopkeeper. ”
Hearing Song Jin say this, since the girl and the lady had already discussed, he could only nod and agree.
Since the girl wanted him to replace Zeng Xiuniang and be the manager of the embroidery workshop, he took over the embroidery workshop and went to be the manager of the embroidery workshop.
It's just that he replaced the girl and took care of the affairs of these shops on Siping Street, but I'm afraid it's not very proper.
He is not very familiar with Steward Li of the Silk Village and Steward Yuan of the Garment Store, and they have no business contacts, at most they have only met a few times when they go to the house to report their accounts at the end of the year.
If he really asked him to replace the girl and take care of the silk village and the ready-to-wear store, I am afraid that Steward Li and Steward Yuan will complain about him.
"Girl, you and Mrs. asked me to replace Zeng Xiuniang and be the shopkeeper of the embroidery workshop, and I have no objection to this matter. It's just that the girl wants me to replace the girl to take care of other shops on Siping Street, but the villain really can't do it! ”
"The villain is still a little self-aware. Steward Li of the Silk Village and Steward Yuan of the Garment Store are not more shrewd and capable than villains. When it comes to doing business and planning to make a deal, I really can't compare to the two of them. ”
"Steward Li and Steward Yuan are both Mrs. Companions, and Steward Li followed Mrs. out of the Zhao family. Steward Li has helped Mrs. look at the Silk Village over the years, and helped Mrs. solve the uncle of the Zhao family. ”
"And Mrs. has always been very important to Steward Li, so the girl should let Steward Li take care of these shops on Siping Street!"
He Zhong said cautiously, every time he said a word, he would think about it in his heart for a moment, since it was the girl who told him to do it, he just had to do as he was told.
It's just that there is a more suitable selection than him, why should the girl choose him alone?
Song Jin just appreciated He Zhong's advantage of being a little self-aware, and he was not blindly arrogant like others.
In terms of business, it is true that Steward Li is more suitable than him, but to take care of four shops, it is not as simple as being able to do business, but also being able to be a person and do things.
If Steward Li is allowed to take care of these four shops, the business will indeed go up, and the profits will increase a lot, but it also means that Steward Li will offend many people.
When he rushed to make the dress of the grandson and concubine, Steward Li asked the weavers and embroiderers below to work day and night, and the weavers and embroiderers at the bottom were complaining bitterly.
There is even an embroidery girl, who asks someone to hand her the words and come to her to complain. After making up his mind, Song Jin still planned to persuade He Zhong again.
"What's in charge, since my wife and I have agreed, I will do what I have agreed. What's the matter, stay in the White Silk Workshop these days! ”
"In a few days, I will arrange Steward Li of the Silk Village and Steward Yuan of the Garment Store, and the three of you can meet each other and become familiar with each other."
After explaining a few more words to He Zhong, Song Jin left the White Silk Workshop and went in the direction of the Song Mansion.
East Palace. In the courtyard, the crown princess sat on a bamboo chair under the wisteria trellis, and Peng Chengbo's wife Zhang entered the palace today, wearing a gorgeous dress, her hair bun was full of pearls, sitting next to the crown princess, talking and laughing with the princess.
Song Yun stood outside the hall, and only after being passed on by the female official who was waiting for Song Yun dared to enter the hall.
"Crown princess, I heard Qianxing and Sheng'er say that they intend to let Jin'er enter the palace and stay by your side to experience the experience, looking at Song Shangyi today, it is also for this matter."
Before coming, Song Yun wrote a letter to Song Qianxing, asking Song Qianxing and Zhang Sheng to mention Song Jin's entry into the East Palace to serve in front of Mrs. Peng Chengbo.
After Mrs. Peng Chengbo heard this, when she entered the palace, she would mention a sentence or two by the side of the crown princess.
Mrs. Peng Chengbo is the biological mother of the crown princess, and it is several times better for her to mention this matter than to raise it herself. Hearing what Mrs. Peng Chengbo said, the crown princess asked the palace maid to move the stool and chair over, and let Song Yun sit beside her.
The crown princess, dressed in a light blue palace dress, picked up the teacup and looked at Song Yun.
"You came here today because the second girl of your family came to serve me in the East Palace, right?"
"Shang Yi, the Duchess of England also came to see me yesterday. said that he wanted me to give marriage to their little son, and give marriage to the second girl of your family. At that time, I didn't dare to agree, thinking that I would come to ask you, and you came today. ”
"Let's talk about it! What's going on in your mind?" The crown princess finished speaking, picked up the tea cup beside her, and took a few sips gently.
glanced at Song Yun and gave her a look, Mrs. Peng Chengbo wanted to answer this question for Song Yun.
"Niangniang, this marriage can't be given! Jin'er didn't have that little son of the Zhang family in her heart, how could she give this marriage?"
"Madam, let Shang Yi say this by herself!" The crown princess glanced at Mrs. Peng Chengbo beside her and said coldly.
Seeing this, Mrs. Peng Chengbo was busy talking.
Song Yun thought about it again and again in her heart, but still replied. "Niangniang, my Jin'er doesn't like that Zhang Wu, and I ask the princess not to agree to what the British duchess asks. That's why I want to send Jin'er to serve you. ”
"Really?" The crown princess lowered her head and quietly looked at Song Yun who was kneeling on the ground.
"In that case, then in a few days, I will send your family Jin'er to the palace! I haven't seen this kid in a long time, so I wonder I thought. ”
