The matter of the workshop is decided, and whether the shop can open again is not something she can decide now. It's not her style to sit back and wait.

It's just that I don't have a clue now, and I can't act rashly. Now there is nothing to be done but to wait. However, in the process of waiting, Banniang also thought about how the shop would operate in the future.

In the past, she wanted to go to work, she had no foundation in the capital, and at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there were many powerful people, she didn't want to make trouble for herself, so the opening of the Sheraton in Beijing has always been to open the door to do business, not showing the mountains and water, hoping to open up the situation in a gradual way. But now that she has been remembered, and she has been given an almost fatal dismount, it is obviously not possible to do business in the capital by infiltrating her.

Since Chai Shijiu said the problem of the shop, he will solve it according to the arrangement, and Banniang trusts him, so he can only wait. From Chai Nineteen's occasional words, she was also guessing the relationship between Zhao Zhe and Chai Nineteen, or the relationship between Dingnan Houfu and Chai Nineteen. If these two people were all the way, then Zhao Zhe would naturally help her. Even if it's not all the way, Zhao Zhe can not only rent the shop to her, but also promise that he will help this time, even if the cause of the matter can't be investigated, he will help her solve the difficulties in front of her.

Since you can only wait, then wait. However, in the process of waiting, Banniang has also been thinking about the way to go in the future.

It is naturally convenient to find a backstage that can help, but you can't rely on others for everything, even if it's Chai Nineteen, Banniang can't trust them all. The relationship between people, the most reliable, is always the alliance of interests, as long as the price can be paid, interests are the most difficult to be broken.

What can she do to be used by others? Only when there is value in being used by others can it stand. Thinking of this, Banniang couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Why did Zhao Zhe rent the shop to her, it wouldn't be because of Chai Shijiu's relationship, the fundamental reason was that he had usable value on his side.

Because I thought about this clearly, I calmed down.

However, to her surprise, whether it was Chai Shijiu or Zhao Zhe's side, the news had not yet come, but the eldest brother Zeng Ziye came to talk to her. At that time, Banniang was quietly preparing for the album. She had already figured out that the step-by-step path was clearly not suitable for Sheraton. To reopen, she must build the Sheraton shop into a wooden shop in the capital in the shortest possible time. At that time, even if anyone wants to deal with Sheraton, they will definitely throw a rat bogey. What's more, even if she doesn't rely on Yijun Wangfu and Zhao Zhe, she is not completely without support.

Now I just don't know who is the real mastermind behind the scenes.

If Shang Ruo made a fuss about the fact that the shop was sealed, it was not impossible to make concessions to the Kaifeng government. It's just that the reputation of her family, the relationship between her father-in-law, and the influence of the second brother's teacher are used here, and Banniang doesn't want to do that for the time being.

Although doing business is valued by harmony, if she is really forced to that step, the business will not be done, she has no scruples, and she is not afraid of the fish dying and the net will be broken, her own business can't be done, and she must bite the other party's flesh down, so that people can know that Zeng Banniang of his Nanfeng Zeng family is not so deceivable.

She is now preparing to draw a set of albums, which is a collection of some classic furniture styles of the pinnacle of art in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and then after their own processing, they are not afraid of not being famous, not to mention the Sheraton woodware shop, in the north and south of the Great Song Dynasty, it has long been famous. Banniang even began to plan the idea of supplying the Ouchi Palace, once she became an imperial businessman, others wanted to trouble her, but she was afraid that she would have to worry about three points.

And she believes that with her furniture expertise that has gathered the essence of furniture for several generations, it is not impossible to have a plan for the royal family. On the contrary, if she has the heart to do it, this matter is not difficult at all.

was concentrating on painting, Zeng Ziye entered the door, and the little fu who was serving was busy blessing his body: "I've seen uncle." ”

Banniang heard the sound, looked back, and saw Zeng Ziye looking at the drawings she had laid out in a row on the long case, so she put down the pen in her hand and said with a smile: "Why does the eldest brother have time to come?" ”

As he spoke, he invited Zeng Ziye to sit down.

Looking at the slim little eighth sister who had already grown in the morning light, Zeng Ziye couldn't help but feel emotional.

A few years ago, she was just a thin and small naughty and clingy little girl who would only smile sweetly and call her big brother when she saw her.

"I'm here to tell the eighth sister something."

Banniang motioned for Xiaofu to pour the tea, and then handed it to Zeng Ziye: "Brother has something to do, just call someone to give orders, and run over by himself." ”

After all, Zeng Ziye is a lot older than herself, although she also loves him, but the eldest brother is like a father, although Baniang respects Zeng Ziye, but the age difference is a lot, she doesn't believe that Zeng Ziye will be fine, so she just came to look for her and laugh.

Who knew that Zeng Ziye took the tea, took a sip, and said with a rhetorical smile: "I can't come to see my little sister if I'm fine." Or is it annoying to the eldest brother and disdainful to talk to the eldest brother? ”

"Big brother is really, where do I dare to have such an idea." Banniang glanced at Zeng Ziye with disgust, "If my sister-in-law hears this and turns back to Nanfeng, doesn't I want my sister-in-law to scold me again?" ”

"Your sister-in-law will scold you? She can't wait to hold you in the palm of her hand. Zeng Ziye smiled and shook his head, "I have something to tell you." ”

"Well, big brother say it, Shan'er listen."

"Your second brother has already helped you solve the matter of your shop being sealed, and today I went to Kaifeng Mansion with him, and it has been unsealed, and it will be open for business tomorrow."

Banniang showed a look of surprise, this matter, the eldest brother and the second brother can mention it before.

There was a sour look in his eyes for a while.

In business, she has never asked her brothers for help, and in her heart, her brothers are not business materials, even if, for the sake of her father's expectations and her brothers' own ambitions, she will not bother them with these trivial matters. In the past few years, Zeng Ziye has only helped her take care of buying land and preparing for the workshop when she really has no manpower to help. Subconsciously, she has always been afraid that because of her own affairs, she will delay her brothers' fame.

She hopes that she can provide the best material conditions for her family and solve her family's worries, instead of becoming a burden and a stepping stone for her brothers.

But she forgot that she was the daughter of the Zeng family, and although her brothers usually didn't wipe her hands on her business, they were her dependent, the eaves that sheltered her from the wind and rain, how could she really ignore it when she was in trouble?

"This," she was surprised and moved, "brother, how did you do it?" Will it have any impact on our family's reputation? ”

Even now, this girl is most concerned about the reputation of their brothers. Zeng Ziye couldn't help but stretch out his hand and rubbed Banniang's head, although Banniang is his sister, but his wife Wu has always loved her like a daughter, she is less than a year older than her son Jue'er.

Sighing, Fang said: "No, your second brother just went to the Kaifeng Mansion, explaining that Sheraton is our family's shop, even if the procedures are not in order, but he will never do anything to conceal the amount of tax declaration, and he took the facts of your righteous deeds in previous years to prove them one by one, which made the tax supervisor agree to unseal it." However, I don't understand the business matters with your second brother, and I heard that the procedures of the shop are not complete, so it should be done in a short time. Your second brother has not returned because of something, so I will come back to explain to you first, so as to save you worry. As for the formalities that should be completed for the opening of the shop, your second brother also said that you will hand over the missing things to him tomorrow, and he will help you do it. ”

Zeng Zigu has a prominent reputation in Shilin, and he naturally has nothing in normal times, but when he really encounters things, it is useful.

At least the undertaker in the government will never dare to fool around, the seizure of Sheraton is not normal, and the concealment of the tax amount is just an excuse, even if it is concealed, it will not reach the step of sealing the shop. Although there are black hands behind this, if the Zeng family takes it seriously, the tax supervisor who undertakes this matter will definitely not be good. This is also the main reason why these people don't start early or late, but they pick when their father dies and the Zeng family is in turmoil.

She is not unclear about the loopholes in this. The reason why she has not been in a hurry to solve this matter is because it is not an important thing for the shop to open a few days early and a few days late, she wants Chai Shijiu and Zhao Zhe to solve the problem of the people behind this matter, and it is just to open it again after the trouble.

Although the eldest brother didn't mention anything, he only told her that the shop could be opened, but Banniang believed that the eldest brother and the second brother must have done a lot of work before finding the mansion. That's why it goes so smoothly.

Thinking of the righteous deeds she had done over the years mentioned by Zeng Ziye in front of the tax supervisor, Baniang was not embarrassed.

Speaking of which, she has spent a lot of money on charity over the years. Set up a widow's home, built a school of righteousness, supported the county government at that time in the famine years, donated money and materials to the disaster world, in Jiangnan Road, mentioned the Zeng family, no one did not say that it was the family of righteousness, the Zeng family could not hesitate to spend so much money to buy a good reputation, how could they really care about the little tax of a shop that had just opened?

If you really take this as a matter and start a lawsuit, and order the tax supervisor of the Sheraton shop to be closed under the pretext of concealing the amount of tax returns, I am afraid that it will be difficult to blame his duties.

"Thank you, eldest brother and second brother."

"Thanks for what? These are the things that should have been for us. You, no matter what happens in the future, you have to discuss with your brothers, is it possible that in your heart, your brothers are all decorations? ”

Shan'er didn't think so.

"Silly boy, my brothers are not as good as you in business, but if these things happen, how can you solve them in a little girl's family? Although my brothers are not good, how can they eat you and make people bully? Zeng Ziye said with a straight face, "The matter of the shop is solved, but someone must be obstructed by this matter." Your second brother came forward, and he also deliberately took a name sticker to meet Master Bao, and he will mention this matter to Lord Bao at that time. Master Bao is an upright official, that is, the royal family and nobles, breaking the law, he can also handle it with the law, as long as we don't let people find faults, at least on the surface, no one can be embarrassed by our family's workshop. As for the burning of the two workshops, your second brother also came forward to hand over to the Kaifeng Mansion for handling. ”

When the second brother did these things, he was not low-key at all, obviously he wanted to use his influence in Shilin to force the Kaifu Fengya not to be perfunctory. Visit Bao Xiren with a big bang, and the officials below who are willing to do things physically, no matter how much they want to show favoritism, they have to consider whether they can do things under the eyes of Lord Bao.

Banniang smiled: "Banniang knows that she is wrong, and if she encounters something in the future, she will definitely discuss it with her brothers first." But she was secretly ashamed in her heart, she was always afraid of troublesome to her family, but they were his family, and since they were family, why bother? In the final analysis, what they do and what they do, aren't they all for the sake of making this family better and stronger?

Past......

Thinking that she had been in the hospital bed for so long in her previous life, her brothers and sisters had not seen her a few times, and now she is not embarrassed.

The past life is the past life, and the present life is the present life.

Although the second brother gave the Kaifeng Mansion high-profile pressure, Banniang also knew that the workshop was burned, and the final result on the bright side would basically be over, but because of this, at least in the short term, her business should be relatively safe. With these time buffers, she will also use her power to seek a firm foothold, and she must no longer be in the embarrassing situation of being suppressed by others, but she has no power to fight back at all, and she can only rely on others.

Banniang asked when she would return to her hometown.

Zeng Ziye said: "It will be the Mid-Autumn Festival in two days, and as soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival is over with your second brother, I will help my father's coffin back to Nanfeng, but my mother will have to take care of you." When the time comes, Zifu Zijian and Zijing will stay, your fifth brother will also stay, and the fourth brother will go back with us. Because I am afraid that you are busy with business and your mother needs someone to take care of you, your second sister-in-law will not go back this time, so she will stay in the capital for the time being to take care of you. ”

Speaking of which, the second sister-in-law has only been married to her own family for two or three months. has encountered so many things, and he has to be separated from his second brother. But now because her mother really needs someone to take care of her, she has no way to spend all her time in the inner house, so she can only work hard for her second sister-in-law. Thinking of these, I can't help but feel guilty about Chao Wenrou.

Zeng Ziye smiled and said: "Okay, this matter is a little sorry for Zigu and your second sister-in-law, but there is no better way now, where can my mother's current body be tired of the journey?" There is no way to leave them in the capital. Besides, you can't leave for a while now, so it's hard to leave you alone in the capital. When you return to your hometown, let your fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law come over and take care of your mother. ”

"Since that's the case, I think it's better to ask the fifth brother to go back and leave the fourth brother behind. The fifth sister-in-law is almost giving birth recently, right? I think the fifth brother must be thinking about it. Turning around and calling the fourth sister-in-law to come to the capital, she can reunite with the fourth brother for a while, and she can help the second sister-in-law take care of the housework. ”

Counting the days, Wu Sanniang should be almost the due date in July and August, maybe she has already given birth at this time.

Zeng Ziye thought about it, he and Erlang also wanted the fourth child to stay, after all, Shiro has a temperament, but he is much more stable than Goro, if there is really something at home, it is more reassuring to deal with than Goro.

In fact, the reason why Banniang said this is because she really thought that Wu Sanniang was about to give birth, and a woman had just had a child, how could she not know that her husband was by her side? The second is that she heard Xu 13 say that recently, Wulang has frequently gone to Lu 17 for the matter of her shop, and Lu 17 is a human being, so she is naturally relieved, but she is not at ease about her fifth brother's impulsive nature. Instead of being afraid that the eldest brother and the second brother will leave and no one will suppress him, something really happens, so it is better to let him pack up and ask the eldest brother and the second brother to take it back to Nanfeng now.

Because of filial piety, this Mid-Autumn Festival is just a family at home for a reunion dinner. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, all the luggage was packed and the ship was taken care of, and the Zeng Ziye brothers embarked on a trip back to their hometown.

The shop reopened, but Banniang transferred Qiao Ge'er from the paint shop and simply handed over the shop to Qiao Ge'er to take care of.

After dealing with a few things before, Banniang felt that Brother Qiao was really a very talented person in business. He has no idea of a career and has the ability, what she lacks most is management talents, so naturally she will not let go of Qiao Junsheng.

The lacquer shop has always been Lai Tai Ruixiang and Sheraton two shops and survival, there is no business matter, no matter how busy Brother Qiao is, what needs to be managed is just production, Banniang directly let him be the big shopkeeper of the Sheraton in Beijing, Qiao Junsheng was first surprised, and then he wanted to refuse, at the beginning he was just because Banniang's family could not take care of it, it was purely a friendship to help, really handed over the shop to him, where is he good to pick up.

Banniang was a good persuasion: "Is Brother Qiao really willing to only work in the workshop for the rest of his life?" Although doing business cannot be compared with the office, but when it comes to the role of the country, it is not necessarily worse than the office, and it is also a matter for the benefit of the people. Since I invited Brother Qiao, it is naturally because you have this ability. Don't you want to make a career out of Brother Qiao? ”

Qiao Junsheng naturally didn't refuse because he despised businessmen, he just felt that his family had received a lot of favor from Banniang, if things were not done well, wouldn't it be a burden to Banniang? Besides, he hadn't really been in contact with business matters before, and these days he felt very difficult to deal with things, even though Cang'er and Liu Erlang helped him. That's why I didn't dare to respond.

Seeing that he hesitated, Banniang explained the role of commerce to social circulation to Qiao Junsheng in detail. And with Qiao Junsheng's unwilling character, there is such a big stage for him to perform, Banniang will definitely be tempted if she wants to believe him.

After talking for a long time, Qiao Junsheng was already moved.

The workshop is dead, all it takes is to take steps every day.

And the way of business can open up a vast world for him, so how can he not be tempted?

Banniang didn't want to force him, and gave him a few days to think about it.

Qiao Junsheng did not disappoint her. The next day, he decided to accept the challenge given to him by Banniang.

With Qiao Junsheng taking over the things in the shop, Banniang was a lot easier. The set of picture albums she carefully prepared, a total of twelve sets of household goods, are the best of the best, and they are all handed over to the woodcraft workshop to start making, Banniang especially emphasized to Liu Erlang that this batch of goods, no matter what, must strive to achieve the most perfect degree.

Originally, she planned to quietly occupy the home market in the capital, but after the crisis in the previous period, she was determined to change her strategy. Since she is remembered, she doesn't have to be in Taoguang, on the contrary, she wants to be a blockbuster.
