Chapter 121: Catch a thief with a reward
Just after noon, Nan Jinyu came out of the fourth aunt's courtyard, and seeing that it was still early, she thought about going to the store to have a look, so as to arrange the opening of the new store later.
"County Lord, the carriage is ready."
Tsing Yi has a fast journey, and she usually arranges this kind of thing, but Lu Shao is happy to be idle.
"Let's go, let's go to the store."
The three masters and servants got into the carriage, and Tsing Yi drove in front, not saying a word about last night's incident, after all, you will understand that emotional things can't tolerate a little sand.
Nan Jinyu's carriage was not as ostentatious as the precious golden silk nanmu of the Nan family, and it was just a carriage made of ordinary wood, which was not much different from that used by ordinary businessmen.
Yipinxuan quickly became popular after its opening, and it also caused quite a stir in Yanjing, and even many time-honored rouge gouache shops began to imitate their designs and categories, but they often could only imitate a model, but failed to imitate the essence.
"Miss, it's autumn now, autumn chrysanthemums have always been used to make tea, and the taste is not very good, how should we use materials for our new products?"
Lu Shao roughly repeated the recent account books to her verbally, and sure enough, he was a small businessman, and Tsing Yi, who was driving the car, felt that his head was big.
"Hmm, chrysanthemums...... It has never been a white wedding chrysanthemum, how much is it used? Our new products do not come out of chrysanthemums. β
Nan Jinyu leaned on the edge of the couch, eating sweet dates in her mouth but felt tasteless.
Sure enough, a bad mood affects work efficiency very much, although she may not have met a scumbag, but this is very uncomfortable.
"So what are we going to do this season? A few time-honored brands have imitated our appearance ninety out of nine, if we don't come out, they will come out! β
Green Shao was anxious, worried that the lady's recent bad mood would affect her business.
"Begonias, but they don't make skin care products, begonias are used to make lipstick and rouge, some ointment and ink."
Nan Jinyu said casually, seemingly inadvertently, but in fact, she had already thought about it.
Most of Yipinxuan's customer groups are rich ladies and wives, and ordinary people buy from rich and noble families, so naturally there will be no shortage of silver, and their competitors only care about plagiarism, and innovation is the most attractive at this time.
"Huh? What about skincare lines? Aren't we going to make a new one? β
Lu Shao felt incredible, after Yipinxuan became popular with its unique skin care series, now it wants to find another way?
Wouldn't that be handing over the market to someone else?
No, no, she can't let Miss mess around like this......
"It's on sale!"
Nan Jinyu held his chin and said, the inventory of out-of-season goods must be discounted, and when we launch new products, we will also discount old skin care products, and old customers will just make up another set.
"Huh? Discount? Does Miss mean that we are going to sell it cheaply? Not to be! β
Green Shao was really anxious now, and rushed to her like a burning eyebrow, with a posture of preparing to make a tirade to persuade her not to do stupid things.
"As at the time of opening, the recharge amount determines the discount level, and the discount reserve price is set first, and then the bookkeeper clears the accounts, and you just sell."
Nan Jinyu looked at her and raised her hand to pinch her little face.
Lu Shao's whole face was instantly red by Nan Jinyu's actions, and his eyes lit up when he recalled the practice of breaking the deadlock when he opened.
Does Miss mean that the more money you have in your stored value account, the lower the discount? In this way, even if they don't buy it now, there will be many orders in the future, and our money will be earned sooner or later! β
"Yes, we want long-term loyal customers, really big women, how can they only buy one rouge gouache, they usually like fresh things, as long as we maintain innovation and appropriate promotion, we are not afraid of competition."
Nan Jinyu explained that Tsing Yi basically can't help when it comes to doing business.
Green Tree is different, she followed the shopkeeper Liu to recognize a lot of words, do the account management account is clearer than the bookkeeper, after the Qinglian Qinghe sisters went to the new store, it seems that Green Tree has not been promoted, in fact, she has to take care of coordinating all the things of the three parties, but she is busier.
"The slave and maid understood...... What Miss means is that we are in front, whether they imitate or plagiarize, they can't learn our essence, and they will be disgusted by the guests after a long time, right? β
Lu Shao nodded thoughtfully, and was surprised to realize that her young lady really has an amazing talent, whether it is managing shops or doing business, she is simply ten streets away from ordinary people!
"That's a good summary."
Nan Jinyu gave her an appreciative look, handed over the details of the new products she had prepared before, and said, "You have seen it." β
"Okay!"
Lu Shao rubbed his hands excitedly, took the thick pile of yellow straw paper artwork, and said with a smile: "There are a lot fewer strange words written by Miss, and the slave maid misses it a little." β
"Isn't it good......"
Nan Jinyu pursed her lips and couldn't help but sigh when she thought of the fusion of memories in her head.
Once upon a time, she thought that she was herself and the Lord was the Master, but now, she didn't dare to care about it!
"Nature is good! Miss is Miss, no matter what you write or say, the slave and maid have only understood that people can live so freely and wonderfully after following Miss. β
Green Tip said with his face tilted, smiling eyes twinkling with adoring stars.
"Miss, it's here."
The carriage stopped in the backyard of Yipinxuan, and Tsing Yi saw that they were chatting about seventy-seven-eighty-eight, so he interrupted.
Nan Jinyu led the green shoots down, and there were only a few people in the courtyard.
"I've seen the county lord!"
The teenagers of the Baili family are very well-behaved, not as casual as the guys in the store, but the atmosphere is really different from before.
"No courtesy."
Nan Jinyu glanced at it roughly, and the older ones all went to the new shop and workshop to help, and most of the people left behind were half-sized, but they were taught by Shopkeeper Liu to be very well-behaved.
"The county lord is here?"
A hairpin in the shape of a golden abacus was inserted in the head of the shopkeeper Liu, and he walked out with a sad face.
"Shopkeeper Liu's look is ...... Isn't there something difficult in the store? β
Nan Jinyu was stunned, and subconsciously looked at the green shoots, but saw the green shoots spreading their hands, and they also looked shocked, obviously not knowing.
"No, come in and say!"
Liu Qingqing shook her head, took Nan Jinyu's hand and entered the house, and closed the door mysteriously, leaving no gaps.
Tsing Yi and Lu Shao glanced at each other, dismissed the people who ate melons, and went to work separately.
This is the first time that Liu Qingqing has been so close to Nan Jinyu, and the two of them are sitting in the room, and the atmosphere is quite tense.
"County Lord, please have tea."
Liu Qingqing secretly poked and poked her to make tea, her face full of worry.
"It's rare for the willow shopkeeper to ...... today Not wearing men's clothes? β
Nan Jinyu took a sip of tea and smiled meaningfully.
Why is this girl so nervous? Didn't you get married? Isn't she out of touch with the Liu family?
No, I can't!
"Hey......"
Liu Qingqing held his forehead, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.
"Tell me, what's the burning of your eyebrows? Don't say I'm leaving, it's not so easy for you to talk about it anymore! β
Nan Jinyu glanced at her and smiled like a big fox.
"Oops......"
Liu Qingqing stretched out her hand and grabbed Nan Jinyu's sleeve, and after a long time, she said, "Actually, it's not a big deal, I just heard that person is back......
Nan Jinyu blinked, "That person? Who is it? Do I know that? β
"JustγEx-fiancΓ©,Was divorced and dissolved the marriage contract......"
Liu Qingqing's eyes flickered, she just heard about it, but she didn't really see people.
After all, the boys of the Baili family are not her people, everyone mentioned a few more words, and then she inquired!
"Oh! I know! β
Nan Jinyu was surprised, and when she saw Liu Qingqing's worried but angry appearance, she immediately understood what was going on.
"Don't worry, county lord, I won't delay business or miscalculate accounts because of this, I'll guard it for you here, and it won't be fine."
Liu Qingqing saw her thoughtful appearance, and comforted her in turn.
"Do you want to see him? Your brother Ziqing. β
Nan Jinyu felt that something was wrong, and couldn't help complaining.
"Hmm...... Am I unproductive? β
Liu Qingqing nodded weakly, not daring to look at Nan Jinyu squarely.
"Not really." Nan Jinyu shook her head and said with a straight face: "But I think that after escaping death, I wrote you a letter, and now if you really come back but don't show up, there are only two possibilities." β
"Which two?"
Liu Qingqing opened her mouth and looked at her with wide eyes, for fear that she would miss something if she was not careful.
"One is that his identity is hidden, and Hui Yanjing is also acting on orders not to reveal his whereabouts, if you have to look for him...... What if it's not good for him? β
Nan Jinyu was kind and persuasive, and she already had some other opinions on this matter in her heart.
That demon is really okay, even his subordinates can calculate such a field, and they are not afraid that ruining people's marriages will be blessed?
"The county lord reprimanded me for being too childlike, I didn't expect this! So what is another possibility? β
Liu Qingqing sighed and admitted her thoughts without any twist.
"There's a dog outside! I don't want to see you, anyway, the marriage is divorced, and the family is divorced, and he may not be able to come back for a while, you are guarding hard, and people may have already planted a green grassland for you outside......"
Nan Jinyu sighed regretfully, swept her eyes along the corner of the beam, and moved away quietly.
This gentleman on the beam has good kung fu, but his patience is a little worse, if it weren't for his chaotic breathing, she would never have discovered his whereabouts so easily.
"There are dogs...... Does the county lord mean that he has found a daughter-in-law outside? He dares! β
Liu Qingqing stood up suddenly, tears falling down, and after only a few seconds, he sat down.
Yes, it's been so long, and the marriage was forcibly withdrawn by the Liu family, and she is not the eldest lady of the Liu family now.
"I don't know if I dare or not, I think that if he has the same heart for you as you do for you, he will definitely not be stupid enough to come back and hide and not come to see you, what righteousness and rules, everything is bullshit!"
Nan Jinyu took another sip of tea, her eyes drifted to the beam, and she found that the dust was falling on the beam, and her mood was a little better.
Since he was stupid enough to think that he could use the people around him to lead him to the Qin Palace, then he deserved to be disgusted and scolded by his daughter-in-law......
Anyway, Qingqing was angry for him before, but now his home is gone!
"Yes! The county lord is absolutely right! I've seen through it now, men don't have a good thing! A few days ago, Qinghe and Qinglian had some disputes, and after careful questioning, I realized that Qinglian girl seemed to be quite different from Baili Ran, and was scolded by her sister, saying that they were both slaves, don't think about those who don't have them, even if they can get rid of slavery in the future, if the door is not right, they can't climb at all! β
Liu Qingqing said that he was full of righteous indignation, his undulating chest was obviously angry, and he took off the golden abacus on his head, and when he pulled his hand, it became a man's bun again, and his eyes were very sharp.
"Huh? Is Qinglian different from Baili Ran? How is it different? β
Nan Jinyu was interested, and waited to hear the story with a gossipy face.
Baili Ran's child is very worried about the city, and Qing He's worries are not unreasonable, but people are emotional animals after all, what if they are sincere......
"These two sisters are capable and never make mistakes, the day before yesterday someone went to the new store to make a time, Qinglian had a quarrel with them, those people bullied her because the woman wanted to do it, and finally Baili Ran came forward to solve it, not only that, the person who bullied her came back and kowtowed to her and apologized!"
Liu Qingqing smiled, with a look of envy on her face.
"Well, that's nothing!"
Nan Jinyu felt strange, after all, the teenagers of the Baili family were now her shop buddies, and it was natural for them to come forward to maintain safety.
"It is said that Baili Ran was injured in order to protect her at that time, and the injury was not light!"
Liu Qingqing had a look that you didn't know, and seemed to have walked out of Fang Cai's loss and trance.
"Oh! I see! No wonder Qinghe's girl is worried, and I will be worried if I am replaced. β
Nan Jinyu shook her head, her sister was obviously afraid that the falling flowers would have no intention of flowing water, and Baili Ran was born so well, it was normal to be worried.
"Hey...... It's a pity......"
Liu Qingqing sighed melancholy, and said with an old-fashioned appearance: "Girl, I am not young, I will be sixteen after this winter, it is impossible to become a monk, when my sister-in-law is not suitable for me, I have to quickly find a good-looking boy and marry happily!" β
"Poof!"
Nan Jinyu was drinking tea, and when she heard the words, she squirted out a sip of tea directly, and looked at her like a ghost: "Sister, don't you want to open it?" β
"No, no, no, sister, I'm ...... I want to open it! β
Liu Qingqing shook her head, her gaze resting on the blue and white porcelain teacup.
Said: "You see, this looks like a couple, but in fact, when it comes out of the official kiln, it is exactly the same thousands and hundreds, you are right, it doesn't matter if he really comes back or not, why don't you come to see me, it doesn't matter." β
"What if he comes? Do you still think so? β
Nan Jinyu sighed, people who live too clearly are prone to suffering.
If it weren't for this, in this era, she would not dare to betray her family and stand on her own, so she sold a shop that had not been open for several months, and finally became a female shopkeeper!
"Can't come...... I have also figured it out very clearly these days, the marriage between the two families is a good word, the Liu family regrets the marriage first, and there is no room for redemption when he comes back. β
Liu Qingqing smiled bitterly and covered the teacup in front of him.
She didn't read the letter before because of this reason, it doesn't matter if she doesn't read it, anyway, if she misses it, it's fate.
"You think clearly, but I think that if you have the opportunity, you can still make it clear, don't regret it, in case one day you think about these things when you were young, but you can't get over that hurdle in your heart, it's not worth it."
Nan Jinyu pointed out, and suddenly there was an extra pearl in her hand, which bounced onto the beam of the house with a whizz, and a big burst of ash fell.
"Ahem, ahem...... What is the county lord doing? Don't you like that I didn't hire someone to sweep the dust? But it's not yet the wax moon! Isn't it early to sweep the dust? β
Liu Qingqing choked so much that tears came out, and when she looked up, she found that a figure flashed on the beam of the room, and she was stunned.
"I saw a mouse, I wanted to beat him down and feed it to the cat, but who knew that this mouse actually found it, as long as I warn it, not everyone can come to our Yipinxuan!"
Nan Jinyu said to the roof, which was a warning to him to help that demon.
This Ziqing, who only heard his name, still had Liu Qingqing in the end, so he dared to accept it like this, right?
Poor this stupid girl, she wants to find someone to marry, just to become a sister-in-law so that she doesn't overage!
"Bailimo! Thyme brocade! Take people! β
Liu Qingqing took a few steps back, and suddenly raised his hand and roared loudly, which startled Nan Jinyu coldly.
"Yes!"
Immediately there was a young man on the roof, and then there was the sound of fighting, mixed with this bit of scolding, and people wanted to laugh.
The young man of the Baili family is not bad at kung fu, but compared to Fang Cai, it is simply a small thing, but he obviously does not dare to hurt them because of Liu Qingqing's face, and the two newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers naturally have the upper hand.
"When did you notice someone coming?"
Nan Jinyu said curiously, she thought that Liu Qingqing hadn't found out at all!
"The first time you looked up at the corner, where did you talk so hypocritically on weekdays, I felt that something was wrong, so I followed you."
Liu Qingqing sighed, her mother came secretly a few days ago, and she wanted to persuade her to find a good family to marry, but she couldn't marry if she had a bad reputation anyway, she was almost so angry that she vomited blood.
"Well, I'm stupid."
Nan Jinyu shook her head, I hope that this pair of lovers will eventually become married.
Boom!
Something fell on the roof, and then came the young man's hearty laughter: "Shopkeeper Liu, the mouse has been caught!" Is there a reward? β
"Reward! Each person has half a moon of braised pork to eat, and the shopkeeper will cook it for you! β
Liu Qingqing smiled happily, turned around and pushed the door and walked out.
She is no longer the Liu Qingqing who is slaughtered in the deep boudoir, she is the most profitable rouge shop shopkeeper in Yanjing, and she is a person who can be hundreds of people!
"Okay!"
Baili Mo smiled and pretended to be in a circle, and by the way, he kicked the person who was tied up on the ground in front of Liu Qingqing.
"That's how you made them obedient?"
Nan Jinyu opened her mouth, afraid that she would laugh so much that her stomach hurt.
