"Miss Su, your second uncle hired someone to find trouble and dominate the neighbors, and the official will punish him severely," Lord Chen hesitated and chose to make friends with the Su family for the time being, "You Su family firm does not have to worry about opening for business, and the official will definitely not let the rest of the Su family go to block you again." ”

Su Nianjin paused, "Yes, Nianjin will give an order in a while, and let the shopkeepers count the accounts and then open the door for business on a later date."

"Don't bother!" Lord Chen stood up, "It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, just tomorrow!" In a few days, someone from above will come to review the official's political achievements, and the official doesn't want you to go wrong here! Lord Chen stared at Su Nianjin's face and ordered without refusal.

I see! Su Nianjin finally understood the reason why Lord Chen wanted Su's firm to open. Originally, the biggest impact of the closure of the Su family firm this time was the ordinary people, after all, those powerful and wealthy families lived a rotten life every day, and they didn't care how much the price had risen. Lord Chen is usually not the kind of good official who is dedicated to serving the people. Moreover, those shops that were still open did not dare to ask for a high price from the magistrate's mansion, unless they didn't want to mix up in Quzhou City.

Nian Jin must ask the shopkeepers to take stock of the accounts as soon as possible to ensure that they can open tomorrow. Lord Chen, rest assured, Su's firm must be your solid supporter, and will never harm your business! ”

My solid supporter? It's so interesting! "Then Benguan is waiting for your good news!" Master Chen glanced at Su Nianjin meaningfully, then got up and said goodbye.

Lord Chen returned to his carriage, on which was a beautifully packaged gift box. "What is this?"

"Returning to my lord, Miss Su said that this is a birthday gift for you. She has a lot of filial piety and can't visit on your birthday, so I'll prepare it for you in advance. Lord Chen's entourage explained, "The servant took a look, it was just a set of tea sets and a jar of dragon wells before the rain, and there were no other valuable things, which would not insult your prestige, so the minions had the courage to accept it." ”

Lord Chen opened the gift box and saw that there was indeed only a sealed can of tea and a set of tea sets, he picked up the teapot and observed it carefully, "Is the blue and white porcelain of Jingyao?" Or the best! This set of tea sets is the best to use in Longjing! ”

"Blue and white porcelain from Jing kiln?" The entourage's face changed suddenly, "My lord is angry, the slave doesn't know that this tea set is the blue and white porcelain of Jingyao.." The porcelain from the Jing kiln is a starting price! "It's a slave who has no eyes and no beads, and can't recognize gold and jade. The slave thought it was just an ordinary tea set, and the slave returned the gift box to the Su family! "The adults told me to pay attention to this time, and never do things that are true. Unexpectedly, as soon as I heard this, I provoked a bribery incident!

Lord Chen clasped the gift box and handed it to his entourage, "It's okay, let's put it away!" ”

"Huh?" The entourage looked at his master in some surprise.

"Miss Su won't do anything unfavorable to her official for the time being!" Lord Chen had to praise Su Nianjin for the wonderful gift, he simply couldn't put it down with this tea set, "Send someone to keep an eye on Miss Su to see which nobleman in the capital she is connected to!" ”

"Yes!" The entourage breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, the master's refusal to pursue the gift was simply his own luck.

"By the way, send someone to the Su family's ancestral house and arrest the rest of the Su family in prison and lock them up!" Lord Chen closed his eyes, "Just set up a crime and deal with them, which can be regarded as a return gift from the official to Miss Su's tea set!" ”

Su Nianjin sat in the room, and was relieved until the next person came back to spread the word that Lord Chen's carriage had arrived at the county office. If the gift is not returned, then everything is well said!

"Miss, Lord Zhixian didn't embarrass you, did he?" Chaolu led the shopkeepers of various shops to Su Nianjin, and they looked flustered, afraid that something would happen to Su Nianjin.

"Rest assured, Master Chen is just here to offer incense to my mother and brother." Su Nianjin calmly invited everyone to take a seat, "I gathered everyone today to ask you to summarize the inventory of your store for me, and prepare to open for business tomorrow!" ”

"Miss, the troublemaker?" The shopkeepers are a little hesitant, although it is important to do business, but if personal safety is not guaranteed, no matter how much money you earn, there is no place to spend it!

"The shopkeepers are at ease, and Lord Chen, the magistrate of the county, said that he would help our firm escort and would not let people smash our shop again."

The shopkeepers were relieved when they heard this. Shopkeeper Li is the shopkeeper of the grain and oil store, he has a straight temperament and can't hide words, "Miss, don't you know, the price of rice and noodles has doubled more than a dozen times these days when we are closed, good guy, even the cheapest brown rice has been sold at the price of gold, and the people of Quzhou City have begun to be hungry these two days!" Now it's okay, they can all buy cheap and good rice noodles in our store, and we can be regarded as doing good things for the people of Quzhou! ”

"That being said, we have lost a lot of customers in the past few days when our store has been closed, as well as the old customers before, and I have heard a lot of complaints in my ears, saying that the price rise in Quzhou City is caused by us, and we will no longer patronize our store in the future. Who bears these losses? Some shopkeepers were not happy when they heard it, "Besides, now that the price in Quzhou City has risen like this, we still maintain the original price, isn't this intentionally against other merchants?" We are in business, not enemies! ”

"No, we have a lot of purchases this year, and the pressure on inventory is high, but there are many things this year..."

"Even so, we can't make black money! Let's talk about the price of grain, oil, rice and noodles, a family has to spend a few taels of silver to eat, who has so much gold and silver? We don't know how much money we spend on the goods? ”

The shopkeepers are arguing with each other, expressing their opinions, and they are all worried about the opening of their shops tomorrow.

Su Nianjin listened to it for a while, and already had a solution in her heart. When the shopkeepers were tired of arguing, she spoke, "Shopkeepers, I have an idea here, you can hear if it is feasible!" ”

The shopkeepers looked at Su Nianjin who was sitting at the top in surprise, but they ignored the ruthless role of the eldest lady, "Eldest lady, please speak!" ”

Su Nianjin's lips opened lightly, and within a few words, the shopkeepers reached a consensus, and they were full of praise, "Wonderful!" What a brilliant idea, Miss! The little one will go back and prepare for tomorrow's opening, farewell! ”

The shopkeepers acted like the wind, and after a while, the people in the house dispersed, leaving Chaolu standing in place and having nothing to do! "Miss, the slave maid is going to see the situation of the second young master!" Chaolu was a little timid in the face of Su Nianjin alone and wanted to escape.

"Wait!" Su Nianjin suddenly thought of something, "Chaolu, do you know how to contact Mo Gongzi?" ”
