Upstairs, Wei Shu leaned lazily on the soft collapse, and she also heard the movement below.

Originally, she planned not to keep Rong'er by her side anymore.

But the girl really gave her some surprises today.

The docile and harmless White Rabbit is loyal and reliable, but she also admires kittens with claws that scratch people...

Wei Shu smiled and got up and returned to the table, and continued to look at the ledger, but this time he found a lot of problems.

The Wei family's two ready-to-wear shops in Qingcheng have been open for nearly six or seven years, and business has been good in the first few years.

But since two years ago, the situation has deteriorated, from the initial net profit of each store in a year of nearly 10,000 taels of silver, to the loss of only 2,000 taels of profit per year, and excluding the expenses of embroiderers and tailors, it is basically not profitable.

She sighed, "It seems that not only is the physical industry in the 21st century not good, but also the ancient market is also bad!" ”

And she also found that since two years ago, the price of fabrics in the store has begun to rise in a straight line, and good tailors and embroiderers have left one by one.

This had to force the Wei family to choose some cheap but inferior fabrics.

At the same time, the level of tailors and embroiderers found is getting lower and lower, so the vicious circle has led to a precipitous decline in the profits of ready-to-wear stores.

Is all this simply due to rising prices and poor management?

Wei Shu shook his head, Daddy is not a mediocre person like a loser, I'm afraid there is not so much order here.

Specifically, she still has to wait for tomorrow to go to the shop to see what is going on before she can draw conclusions.

Liyuan

Mrs. Shen had just come back from Aunt Wei's and felt haggard, and at this moment she was leaning on the chaise longue and asked Yun Ying to pinch her legs.

The second-class maid Tian'er came to report, "Madam, Rong'er asks to see you." ”

Mrs. Shen slowly raised her eyelids, "Let her come in, you all go out." ”

Tian'er and Yunying nodded and said, "Yes"

After they went out, Rong'er walked in, and at this time, Rong'er's face had regained her composure and she was calm.

walked up to Mrs. Shen and bowed, "The slave has seen Mrs. ”

Mrs. Shen hummed lazily, "Get up, are things going well?" ”

Rong'er said, "Mrs. Hui, except for the fact that Miss is only willing to take a small amount of bird's nest every day, everything is going well, and she has not found anything abnormal. ”

"That's good, even if she takes a small amount, she will definitely not be able to survive this year in the long run... You come here. ”

Mrs. Shen said and beckoned to her.

Rong'er stepped forward obediently, and Mrs. Shen took off a jade bracelet on her wrist and took Rong'er's hand to put it on for her.

Rong'er was startled and quickly kowtowed, "Madame is such a big gift, the slave and maid dare not bear it..."

"This is your ability to do things, Mrs. Ben rewarded you, and there will be a heavy reward after the deed is completed"

Mrs. Shen's tone was full of majesty that could not be refused, staring at Rong'er's sincere and frightened appearance, she waved her hand for a moment, "You go down, remember not to let that monster see the problem." ”

"Yes, ma'am!"

Out of the Li Garden, Rong'er breathed a sigh of relief, and after returning to the Yuehua Pavilion, she handed over the jade bracelet given by Mrs. Shen to Wei Shu.

Wei Shu smiled indifferently and only let her take it by herself.

The next day, after having breakfast in Yuehua Pavilion early in the morning, Wei Shu took a sedan chair and went out.

The direction of going is not the ready-to-wear shop under the name of the Wei family, but the Qingyunguan a hundred miles away from Qingcheng.

Mrs. Wei often brings her daughter to Shangxiang, so over time, Wei Shu has become familiar with the Tao here.

With a creak, the heavy mountain gate was pushed open, and the little Taoist priest in the courtyard was sweeping the fallen flowers on the ground.

Seeing her walk in, the little Taoist priest put down the broom in his hand and said, "Immeasurable Tianzun, it's Miss Wei who is here." ”

Wei Shu nodded slightly, "I haven't seen you for a year, and Little Master Fang Chen has grown taller again." ”

Wei Shu remembered him, this little Taoist priest was originally an orphan, and when he was three years old, he was picked up by the old Taoist and accepted as a disciple.

"I haven't been here for a long time, and I'm still bothered that the little Taoist chief will introduce me to incense first." Wei Shu said lightly.

"This way, please."

Fang Chen walked in front to lead the way, and after finishing the incense, Wei Shu looked at Fang Chen who was standing on the side and said, "May I ask the little master, is the woman she took in last time still here?" ”

Fang Chen said, "But the woman surnamed Liu? ”

"Exactly."

"She now helps us grow and water the vegetable garden in the Taoist temple every day in exchange for a mouthful of food and clothing, but that girl seems to have been preoccupied all the time." Fang Chen said.

Wei Shu understood, "Then I'm still bothering the little Taoist to take me to meet her." ”

Then, she followed Fang Chen to the back slope of Qingyun Temple, and the entire hillside had been reclaimed into a vegetable field, which was enough for the daily supply of the Taoist Temple.

When they passed, they saw Liu Rumei watering the vegetable patch there, and after the little Taoist priest Fang Chen took her there, he left.

"Miss Liu, how are you doing these days?"

Wei Shu slowly walked towards the Liu clan with a bright smile on his face.

Liu Rumei stopped what she was doing, and looked sideways at the girl in front of her, only faintly feeling a little familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it.

"The girl is...?"

"No wonder you don't recognize me, I've been busy these days, and I haven't had time to visit you since I guided you here." Wei Shu said lightly.

Liu Rumei was slightly shocked when she heard this, and snorted, "You... You're Eun Gong... But you're a woman?"

She never imagined that it would be a woman who saved her that day.

In this male-dominated society, there may be men who stand up for women, but there will never be women who take the initiative to stand up and provoke the entire patriarchal society.

Wei Shu's words that day, if he were a man, would have suffered a few accusations at most, and even women would have a good impression of him daring to speak for women.

But if everyone knows that Wei Shu is a daughter, then no matter men and women, she will not be allowed in the world.

There is no other reason, just because of the four words of bad morals!

Therefore, no woman has ever dared to say such a heart-wrenching remark that day.

After Liu Rumei was shocked, the first time she came back to her senses was to kneel down in front of Wei Shu with a thud, "Liu Rumei thank Miss for saving her life that day,

"I can't bear to save you, I can't bear you to be harmed by my clansmen, no need to thank you!"

Saying that, Wei Shu stepped forward to help her up, after all, it was not good to kneel on the soil of this vegetable garden and dirty her clothes.

But Liu Rumei refused, but kowtowed to the ground vigorously, "My life was given by the girl, and if I have no money or two dollars and things, I just want to be able to be a cow and a horse to repay Miss!" ”

Wei Shu sighed slightly, "You get up and speak first, I came to you for this today." ”

As soon as the words fell, Rong'er stepped forward to help Liu up, and the three of them returned to Liu's temporary meditation room together.

After looking around the room, although it was shabby, it was also cleaned up, Wei Shu said, "It seems that the Taoist chief here treats you well." ”
