Chapter 292: Business Opening

When Tian Youwei and Liao Shu were packing up their things, Xie Shi found an excuse and disappeared.

After a while, Qiu Bao ran out and whispered: "My mother pulled my father to cry, I cried so sadly." ”

Tian Youwei and Liao Shu were stunned, is this a quarrel?

I couldn't ask Qiu Bao clearly, so I had to go back together to find out.

I only listened to Xie Shi's whine: "This girl has always kept me in mind, and I didn't hurt her in vain......"

Father Tian was a little impatient but happy: "Okay, isn't this a good thing?" What are you crying about? Go make the dress, and I'll add you a pair of gold bracelets!" The thickest kind! ”

"Vulgar! I don't wear it even if I hit it, and I'm afraid of being stolen when I go out, so you can just hit the skein silver bracelet. Xie said and cried again.

Tian Youwei and Liao Shu couldn't help laughing, covering Qiu Bao's mouth and taking him away: "Shhh, don't make noise, give you candy to eat." ”

Shao Jing and Tian Bing strode in and instructed Ruyi to pull the two newly bought horses to the stable to feed the water, Tian Youwei and Liao Shu called them over and took out the newly bought clothes for comparison, indicating that everyone has a share, and the family is very happy from top to bottom.

After a few days, the new house was ready, Mr. Liao chose a good day, and the family happily moved in, which was regarded as having their own foothold in Lin'an.

Then the newly bought shop also opened, specializing in the porcelain made by Tian Youwei from Fusang, Goryeo and other places from Mingzhou, because the goods prepared were exquisite and neat, which was very in line with the aesthetic preferences of the people in Beijing, and the business was very prosperous.

Shao Jing and Tian Youwei planned again, planning to send the selected goods landed at Lin'an Port to Mingzhou to sell, but because they had just arrived, they couldn't get their hands on it for a while, so they could only take their time.

The family is busy with their duties.

In addition to taking care of household chores, Shao Jing spends the rest of his time going out to socialize and practice polo with others.

Tian Bing occasionally went to play with him, and most of the time Mr. Liao led the visiting scholars and hard work.

Tian's father is to look at the shop or look for business opportunities, Xie and Liao Shu are busy with housework, Tian Youwei not only prepares the porcelain styles for the next season, but also goes to the shop to preside over affairs.

Tian Youwei consciously brought Liao Shu with her every time she went to the shop, wanting her to learn to run a business and take care of housework, Tian Bing and Liao Shu would always live by themselves in the future, and they had to rely on themselves if they wanted to live a good life.

Liao Shu changed her previous idea of not being interested and only busy with housework at home, and followed up with a good look, and Mr. Liao didn't say anything about it.

A few days later, when Zhang Wuniang picked Tian Youwei in the shop, she specially brought her little sisters over to buy things in the store, Tian Youwei warmly entertained them and gave them some discounts, and the two sides got along quite happily.

This dynasty did not have the view that business was inferior, and there was no rule that the children of merchants could not participate in the imperial examination, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and the people of the whole country would do all of them as long as they could do business, and they were even more proud of their wealth.

Ministers of the clan are proud of marrying wealthy families, and there are many examples of clan women marrying merchants. Of course, if there is a meritorious official position and a wide range of assets, that is the best.

Seeing that the New Year is approaching and everything is calm, Tian Youwei and Liao Shu are baking fires in the shop, counting accounts, eating oranges, discussing what is best to sell and what is not popular.

A carriage stopped in front of the door, a woman took a footstool and put it away, and then opened the curtain, and a maid with clear eyebrows got out of the carriage first, and then turned around to help out a woman dressed very elegantly.

The woman wears a plain brocade dress dominated by green, deep and light green, occasionally embellished with a few white plums, a hairpin of mutton fat magnolia hairpin on her head, medium stature, thin eyebrows and almond eyes, and a faint smile at the corner of her lips.

Seeing that the guy didn't say much, she only asked the maid next to her to answer, she walked around the shop by herself, stopped in front of the shelf where the Fusang fan was stored, and said gently: "How to sell this fan?" ”

The man was about to speak, when she asked again, "Isn't there a housekeeper in your shop?" ”

In all high-end shops in Beijing, there will always be a female butler to receive female customers, but Tian Youwei is not matched.

The reason is that, firstly, the business is not stable enough, and secondly, it is difficult to hire people at the end of the year, anyway, she is often there, so there is no need to waste this salary.

Hearing the inquiry, Tian Youwei stood up and was about to step forward to greet her, Liao Shu was eager to try: "I'll come." ”

Tian Youwei let her go, watching from behind.

"May I ask which color Madame prefers?" Do you want to give it away or use it for yourself? Liao Shu is now able to look directly into the faces of guests naturally and kindly, and smile and smile.

The woman turned her head and stared at Liao Shu for a moment, then smiled and said, "I heard that this is a shop opened by a person from Caowei Mountain, I see that the girl looks and dresses unusually, dare to ask if you are a person from Caowei Mountain?" ”

Liao Shu hurriedly waved her hand: "I'm not, she's there!" Is Madame looking for her? ”

The woman glanced at Tian Youwei and shook her head: "Just curious, I won't look for her, just buy something, please tell me about this fan?" ”

Liao Shu was very happy when she saw her politeness: "Our Fusang fan is not imitated outside, it is really Fusang goods from Mingzhou Port, there are roughly two kinds, one is dark and slightly larger, suitable for men to play, and the other is bright and delicate, suitable for women to play......"

The more Liao Shu spoke, the more comfortable she became, and her eyes shone with sincerity and confidence, which made her already delicate appearance even better.

Tian Youwei listened to it behind her and felt that it was no problem, so she continued to settle the account.

Suddenly, I heard the woman say, "The girl is the housekeeper hired by this shop?" ”

Tian Youwei raised her heart again, worried that Liao Shu would be sensitive and inferior.

I only heard Liao Shu smile and said: "I'm not in charge, I'm my own family, and I came to help guard the shop and learn skills when I have nothing to do." ”

"Oh......" After reading the fan, the woman looked at the Korean ginseng and silk, and inadvertently inquired with Liao Shu about the situation at home from time to time.

Liao Shu was defenseless, and said one by one: "Madame, I am indeed from Yuyao, and my father and I are the only two people at home, who usually read and do some needlework...... I came to the capital with my family......"

Tian Youwei originally planned to interrupt the conversation between the two, but after thinking about it, she had another heart, and asked the guy to come over and whisper: "You go outside and ask, who is this lady's surname and which house is from, ask tactfully, don't offend." ”

The man obeyed the order to go out, and Tian Youwei continued to sit down and listen to Liao Shu and the woman talking.

After a while, the guy came in and said, "It's the wife of the Guozi Priest Restaurant, surnamed Lin." ”

Tian Youwei's face changed suddenly, and she got up and strode towards the two.

The Tao is different and does not conspire with each other, if you want to be reconciled, you should be separated, and if you don't mention it, you shouldn't be right, but this is hiding your head and tail and running here to deceive Liao Shu, that's not right!
