In the Heshou Hall, the two ladies were gathering in front of the old lady to do homework. The sacrifice went smoothly, the old lady was in a good mood, although the two ladies had their own thoughts, but no one would touch the mold at this time.

Seeing Sheng Yanqing and Shen Yu going and returning, the old lady asked with a smile: "Why, you two haven't heard enough of my old woman's chatter, and you're back?" ”

"Usually running business outside, my grandson can't stay with my grandmother for a long time, so I will come to Heshoutang more in the future to disturb him." Sheng Yanqing also had a smile on her face.

In a word, the old lady of the Sheng family was coaxed into a smile.

At the end of the year, the Sheng family tea shop handed over the general account, and the business was well organized under Sheng Yanqing's care, especially in the second half of the year, the sales of tea were nearly twice as much as usual.

Seeing that the Sheng family's business was booming, the old lady recognized Sheng Yanqing a little more.

The old lady was full of appreciation, "You have worked hard this year, since Yanming left, the family's business has been all on you." You can carry this burden, and it will not be in vain for your eldest brother's hard work, and you are worthy of the ancestors of the Sheng family. ”

On the tenth day of the first month, a sacrificial event was to be held, and Sheng Yanwei did not dare to be presumptuous, so he stayed at home obediently, and was selling in front of the old lady at this time.

is also a descendant of the Sheng family, the old lady is full of praise for Sheng Yanqing, and Sheng Yanwei immediately couldn't sit still.

The second lady also glanced at Sheng Yanqing suspiciously, and muttered in a low voice, "How many years has the Sheng family's business been saved, if it is handed over to our Yanwei, it may not be worse than him." ”

The old lady praised the people in the big house, but the eldest lady's face was not very good-looking.

She said: "Old lady, it's not that I want to put gold on Yan Ming's face, in the past six months, Yan Qing has just taken over the previous business." The customers are ready-made, in the final analysis, is it not the credit of our Yanming? ”

Shen Yu was waiting for the eldest lady's words, and she immediately smiled and said, "The eldest lady, are you afraid that you have forgotten the tea party in the new tea turning cloud dragon and Qingshui Town?" Let's not talk about how much the price of the Cloud Turning Dragon has been speculated, just talking about this tea party, how much business has it brought us? ”

The eldest lady rolled her eyes and lowered her head to straighten her dress. Since the last time Sheng Yanqing targeted the eldest lady's mother's family, he took back all the shops in the hands of the Lu family, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have not spoken.

The eldest lady hasn't breathed a bad breath yet, and she doesn't want to answer Shen Yu's words.

"Whether it's a tea party or a cloud-turning dragon, aren't they all former customers, and aren't they all the reputation that our Sheng family has accumulated over the years?" It is rare for the second lady to unite with the eldest lady, she said coldly.

The family banquet should have been enjoyable, but now a few people are saying a word to me, and the air is filled with the smell of **.

The old lady put down her teacup heavily, stopping the topic.

Sheng Yanqing and Shen Yu exchanged glances, he had expected that the two ladies would be like this.

When the atmosphere slowly became awkward, he hesitated and said, "Old lady, what Madame and Aunt said is not unreasonable. In the past year, the business focus of our tea shop has been on old customers, and profits are always limited.

I'm also thinking about this problem these days, and it just so happens that there is a tea party in the provincial capital recently, and there will be several big customers to participate, and each one will take orders according to their ability. My sister-in-law is proficient in the art of tea, and I want to take her with me to fight for another business for the Sheng family before the year. ”

Sheng Yanqing spoke very slowly, and he explained the truth of the matter clearly.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes looked towards Shen Yu.

Sheng Yanwei said in a strange manner: "Second brother, you keep talking about business, you want me to see, you just want to take the opportunity to be alone with your sister-in-law, right?" During this time, there was a lot of rumors in the market, and it was said that there were noses and eyes. There are no outsiders today, but yours will tell you in front of everyone, what is going on with you and your sister-in-law? ”

Sheng Yanwei narrowed his eyes and looked at Sheng Yanqing with a smile, his eyes revealing some danger.

Sheng Yanqing glanced at him coldly, and said lightly: "I said that I was going to talk about business, if there is anyone in the Sheng family whose tea art is better than my sister-in-law, I am willing to go with her." ”

Sheng Yanwei couldn't do without wine all day, and after drinking two more glasses at the family banquet, he used the strength of wine to play tricks.

He didn't give up, and snorted coldly, "Second brother, don't think that everyone else is blind, and everyone in the Sheng family is stupid, okay?" The two of you are not once or twice in private, sooner or later you will be caught, and when the time comes, you will be smeared by you, along with the entire Sheng family. ”

Sheng Yanqing turned sideways slightly, he didn't want to entangle with a drunk.

The eldest lady coughed lightly, picked up the shelf of the housewife, and said, "Yanqing, I know that you are for the Sheng family's business, but the Sheng family has not been in Qingshui Town for a day or two, business is important, and reputation is also important. If you can't even keep your reputation, what's the use of making more money? ”

The corners of Shen Yu's mouth hooked, the eldest lady is really still the same, what kind of courtesy, righteousness and shame, reputation and reputation, she will not let go at any time.

She wanted to go to the provincial capital to participate in the tea party, but she didn't want to behave deliberately, so she pretended to be embarrassed, looked up and asked the old lady, "Grandmother, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and there are a lot of things to take care of at home. ”

"Sister-in-law!" Sheng Yanqing was a little anxious, "This time the provincial capital is going to come to a famous merchant from Beiping, who has a lot of prestige in the Beiping Chamber of Commerce. ”

Shen Yu wanted to indulge in the past, and Sheng Yanqing emphasized the importance of the tea party.

The old lady thought to herself for a moment, and then said slowly: "Qingshui Town is a small place after all, if you want to make your business bigger, you have to go to the provincial capital, this is not an opportunity." ”

As soon as the old lady was a little relieved, the eldest lady stood up impatiently, "Old lady, how can this work, the two of them can give birth to so many rights and wrongs under your nose, and you can't turn the sky over when you go to the provincial capital?" ”

Sheng Yanwei wanted to help, but the second lady stopped him with a look, she wished that Sheng Yanqing and Shen Yu had made a fool of themselves, violated the family rules, and were expelled from the Sheng family.

The old lady gently twisted a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, what the eldest lady said was not unreasonable, she lowered her face slightly, and said: "Regardless of whether the rumors are true or not, there are many rights and wrongs under the New Year, the two of you go out, you can't stay overnight, you can't be alone, and you must not fall into your mouth." ”

Shen Yu's heart was overjoyed, the old lady's words meant to agree.

Under the sleeves, her slender and delicate little hands were folded together, gently rubbing.

Thinking about what to do in the provincial capital, the old lady said again: "A few days ago, I was still telling Mother Tao that there are many new styles of materials in the provincial city cloth shop, and this time I will bring Mother Tao with you, and let her go to the provincial capital to pick up some good clothes and come back, and cut clothes at the end of the year." ”

The expression on Shen Yu's face froze slightly, the old lady meant that she wanted Mother Tao to follow and spy on them.
