shopkeeper

Shen Shi just wanted to laugh when he saw An Shu's sweaty appearance next to him, and asked people to bring some ink crisp, "You two sisters eat some, don't worry, just take your time." ”

An Shu slowly ate two pieces with red ears, her mind was settled, she eased up her strength, and her fingers were more stable with the abacus......

"Mother, this account ......" An Shu said right for a while, and looked up at the Shen family, "According to this calculation, I didn't make any profit in the first half of the year, if I hadn't done those big businesses in November and February, I would have lost money!" ”

Shen nodded, "Yes." ”

"The shopkeeper didn't know how to work around at the beginning, and it wasn't until September and October that he remembered that he went to Jiangnan and shipped a batch of goods back."

"Specially sold to those rouge shops in the capital who are in the same embarrassment as him."

"Now that it has returned to its original cost, the new rouge here in the capital will not be easy to use until March and April, and he will be able to sell a few more large quantities of goods after the New Year."

"In this way, although this year's profits are not large, next year's account will be good."

An Shu nodded and closed the account book, "So, looking at this account, although it is this year, it is necessary to think about the years before and after, if the shopkeeper is punished because of this year, wouldn't it chill his heart?" ”

"It's not going to end well next year."

"It's just ......" An Cheng looked at An Shu, and sure enough, her face was as puzzled as herself, thinking that the two of them wanted to go together, so she waited for her to speak.

Sure enough, An Shu thoughtfully, "Mother, although I don't understand much about business, I also know that the shopkeeper's idea behind this is very ingenious. ”

"If you are so smart, how can you still do something in front of you that you know that there is a lot of rain and that it is not good to spend, and you still have to buy it at a high price?"

"If I went to Jiangnan early, I want to buy goods cheaper, why not go to Jiangnan when it turns wet and cold?"

An Cheng also couldn't figure it out, and he didn't act like a person before and after...... "Isn't it...... Someone gave him the idea? ”

Shen didn't expect the two daughters to be able to think of this, especially An Cheng was still young, and he was even more outstanding, "My son, it can be seen that the happy event is to raise people, why are the two girls so smart tonight?" ”

Being praised by the Shen family like this, An Cheng was not very embarrassed, she was not a real young girl after all, it was not surprising that she could think of it.

But An Shu can think of it, and it is really smart.

An Shu was praised, and smiled with a little smugness, "Then mother, why don't you tell me and the ninth sister what is the reason for this?" ”

Shen picked out the candle flower to make the words on the booklet brighter, "This shopkeeper actually doesn't have any great talent, if things are smooth sailing, he can't find a big mistake, but if he encounters something difficult, it will be useless." ”

"He has been able to take care of the shop for so many years, and it is his wife who is amazing."

"When I chose him, I also saw that his wife was capable and shrewd, and the son he taught was also smart and clever."

"It's a pity......" Shen said, the smile on the corner of his mouth was faintly cold, "This old husband and wife have been in their lives for half their lives, seeing that their son can be a good hand and is about to marry a daughter-in-law, he has a new look to take a concubine." ”

"His wife was not angry, so she simply took her son to live in her mother's house for more than half a year, and he was alone in the shop, but when he encountered this incident again, he naturally couldn't hold it anymore, so he had to respectfully invite his wife back."

"After he sent the concubine away, his wife gave him such an idea."

An Shu listened, and almost got up to shoot the case, "What is such a husband going to do?" Such a careless ......"

"Mother, why did you give him two silver rewards? He should be punished! ”

Shen asked An Shu rhetorically, "Why should I punish him?" ”

An Shu was speechless for a while, "He...... He...... He took a concubine...... "The more you talk, the lower your voice becomes, do you want to have a reputation for such a reason to punish people?"

Shen sighed softly and smoothed An Shu's clothes that she had just pulled out of the pleats, "I hired him to be the shopkeeper." ”

"His accounts are real, and he can't find anything wrong with his business, and he has done his best, so can I punish him for his house?"

An Shu thought about it, a little unwilling, and leaned over, "That'...... I don't believe my mother would use such a person well. ”

Shen's silent smile was a tacit acquiescence, "That's why I want to give him a double reward of silver, and I also made it clear that this silver is given to the husband and wife." ”

"If his wife had been wise, she would have known what I meant, and after a few years, when her son had grown up, she would have taken up his father's work."

"In this way, they are still a family, and they always have to save face for his wife and son, and secondly, he won't toss if he loses something."

An Shu listened, and then nodded, "So...... That's fine. ”

Shen brought another account book, "Sister Shu'er, look at this ...... again"

An Cheng leaned on the pillow, because An Shu wanted to read the accounts, and the glass lamp there was extraordinarily bright, and An Cheng was inevitably a little darker, and it was easy to make people sleepy......

When An Cheng woke up again, An Shu had already gone back, and she was also lying on the bed in Shen's Warm Pavilion.

Shen was unloading the hairpin ring in front of the mirror, and beside him was Aunt Hualian serving.

Painting Lian's eyes were sharp, and at a glance, he saw An Cheng wake up, put down the cloisonné earrings inlaid with pearls and rubies in his hand, and came over with a smile, "The girl is awake?" ”

"Then change your clothes quickly, and wash up again, the slave and maid will call someone to come in and prepare water, and the girl lives here?" Or go back? ”

An Cheng sat up, "What time is it?" ”

Shen looked at her from the mirror with a smile, "It's the second watch, your sister has gone back." ”

"I saw that you were sleeping soundly, so I simply carried you in and slept with me."

"Who would have thought you were awake?"

An Cheng rubbed his eyes, "The door of this courtyard is also locked, so I will simply sleep with my wife." ”

Shen smiled, "It's okay, I sent back the little maid you came with, and my door here is also locked, saving you a lot of toss." ”

Seeing that Hualian personally came in with water, An Cheng hurriedly spoke, "Auntie, whoever comes, where will you work?" ”

Painting Lian didn't follow, in the end, she put down the water and personally waited for An Cheng to wash, and then said with a smile, "The girl's words don't hurt the slave." ”

"Aren't slaves and maidservants serving? Serving the wife and serving the girl is a blessing for the slave. ”

Shen smiled and watched Hualian twist the handkerchief, and soaked An Cheng's hands with rose water, "This is Sister Cheng's knowledge, you are the people in my house, they are juniors, they should be polite." ”

Hualian gave An Chengjing a smile and said, "The more Mrs. says, the more she lifts up the slave?" Where do slaves and maidservants deserve? ”

"If you say it again, the slave won't dare to stay in the house!"

Shen waved his hand, "That's it, I know you're careful." ”

"Who's on duty tonight?"

Painted Lotus smiled, "It's a lotus seed." ”

"Because of my wife's words, now the classes of lotus leaves and lotus branches are all for lotus seeds and lotus stamens."
