Eight had been given Di Yong's safe return to the team, the Great Song Dynasty defeated the Northern Liao, the court decided to reject the Northern Liao mission's request for peace, and the king of Yijun led three thousand guards to Beiguan to supervise the news of the war, it was already a cold February in spring, and she was packing up to Quanzhou, planning to follow the Quanzhou Qingrui Commercial Bank from the inland sea to Shandong's sea fleet to transfer to Beijing.

Before leaving, the old lady of the Liu family came to talk to her. Because the focus of the workshop has shifted to Quanzhou, Nanfeng's workshop only does some high-end customers of the boutique goods, Uncle Liu's focus has become to train apprentices, plus the old lady, the old lady does not work in the workshop, in the streets not far from Zeng's house in the courtyard of a two-entry compound. Tie Dan and Goudan are still studying in Zeng's schoolhouse, and I heard Mr. Chen say that Tie Dan is too naughty, and Goudan is the material for reading.

A few days ago, when Banniang went to visit the two old people of the Liu family, the old lady looked like she wanted to speak and stopped, at that time, Banniang was very worried, and she did not ask in detail, this time the old lady came to the door in person, saying that she wanted to see her, Banniang hurriedly put down the luggage she was packing, and went to the sister-in-law Wu's place.

Seeing that the sister-in-law was talking with Mrs. Liu, Banniang stepped forward to give a junior salute, Mrs. Liu smiled and pulled her to sit down, and said with a straight smile: "I came to talk to Miss Eight today, there are two things I want to ask Sister Ba. ”

"The old lady is polite, if you have any orders, just do it, but if Banniang can do it, she will do her best." Banniang said busily. The father and son of the Liu family are all people hired by him, and Banniang has always respected Uncle Liu and Mrs. Liu very much.

Mrs. Liu smiled and said: "The old woman said directly, one, my iron egg is really not a reading material, in the carpenter's craft, his grandfather said, there is no talent, but he likes to run to the shop, although this child is not good at reading, woodwork is not good, but the head is smart." The old woman and his grandfather combined, this child is also seventeen years old, it is not a matter of going on like this, just because he wants to learn to do business, so he wants to ask the young lady to put this boy in the shop as a buddy. ”

Banniang sighed for a while, when she went to Quanzhou a year ago, Lu Changan also said that she was more optimistic about the kid Tiedan, who had a flexible brain, a stable person, and was a material for an officer. It's just that Old Man Liu has always hoped that his two grandsons can take the road of scientific research, so although Banniang lacks a trustworthy and capable manager, it is not easy to speak.

Mrs. Liu's mention is exactly what she wants.

And the Liu family and themselves are a cooperative relationship, a year's dividends are very considerable, that is, the monthly salary of the infrared is the highest in the peers, even if the Liu family wants to do it alone, there is no Sheraton wood with the push lacquer art, and the things made cannot be compared with the Sheraton, which is not afraid that they have centrifugation. Second, even if the Liu family goes out to work alone, the profits they earn will never exceed the dividends given to them by Sheraton, and there are still risks. Therefore, Banniang is very relieved of the Liu family.

Banniang said with a smile: "I am now lacking a trustworthy and capable steward, if the old lady and Uncle Liu are willing, Banniang will give Mu Sheng a row to go to Quanzhou, if you want to learn, you should study hard, let him follow Lu Da's shopkeeper to fight first, start with the guy, so it is also more solid." I think Mu Sheng is a capable person, and he is not afraid of being unproductive in the future. ”

Mu Sheng is the name of Tiedan, and it was given by Mr. Chen Lanyu Chen.

When Mrs. Liu heard this, she was overjoyed. Originally, Uncle Liu was just counting on Tie Dan to run errands in Nanfeng's shop. If you go to Quanzhou to follow Lu Da's shopkeeper, this kid will still have a future in the future? Lu Da's shopkeeper is a person with great ability, and now he is in charge of all the business of Sheraton, and Quanzhou is different from Nanfeng, where merchants from all over the country gather, even if it is to have a long experience, it is good. Although Mrs. Liu is an old woman from the countryside, she is not a person without any knowledge. The difference here is still clear.

"That's really thanks Miss Eight, if his grandfather listens, I don't know how happy he should be." Mrs. Liu said happily.

"There is another thing," Mrs. Liu said, looking a little embarrassed to speak, "I want to ask Sister Eight to fulfill it." ”

"Just say it."

"It's Erlang's marriage, he's not young now, he's in his early thirties, and he hasn't had a daughter-in-law yet, I'm really sad with your uncle, he just hasn't let go of his mouth in the past few years, but the old woman is his mother, and he doesn't know his thoughts? He's got a crush on the September girl in our shop. Although Erlang is older, Miss September is a good girl, and there is no place where her appearance and character are not outstanding, and now she has to be used by Miss Eight, and our Erlang is a little unworthy. But Erlang is not good to drag it out like this, so I want to ask Miss Eight to help me ask if Miss September can be willing. My wife promised that if this girl was willing, she would marry into our family in the future, and I would treat her like my own daughter. ”

Second Brother Liu looked at the events of September, and Banniang also knew about it. Originally, I wanted to come back this time to ask what September meant, but it just so happened that she was really short of manpower in the capital, and if September was willing, she would be transferred to the capital to help in a few days. It's just that a few days ago, I was worried about Di Yong's affairs all day long, but I left this matter behind.

When Mrs. Liu mentioned this, Banniang couldn't help but be ashamed, but she was a girl who had not left the cabinet, how could she interfere in other people's family affairs? He smiled and said: "I was a person who had not been out of the cabinet, this matter is not easy to ask, if the old lady really likes our family in September, it is better to ask my sister-in-law to ask." Second Brother Liu is the best person, if he can succeed, it will be a good thing. ”

Wu said with a smile: "This is not a difficult thing, the old lady is the most amiable person, the Liu family is now an excellent family in Nanfeng City, and marrying in September is not much worse than the young grandmother of a big family." I'll ask the September girl at night, and if it can be done, Ming'er will call the old lady back. ”

Mrs. Liu smiled: "That's really thanks to the young grandmother." It is said that your family is now in the period of filial piety, and you really shouldn't mention this matter. If it weren't for Erlang's age, the old woman would be embarrassed to open this mouth. ”

The subtext of this is that if September nods, Erlang is really old again, and he can't drag it out like this, September is a slave bought by the Zeng family, and naturally he has to follow the filial piety, if the two want to get married, they will have to wait for another two years.

Wu's hearing is elegant, but September is the steward of Banniang, she has never understood business things, and she can't be the master, so she looked at Banniang, and saw Banniang nodded, so she smiled and said: "Liu Erlang should indeed reach the age of marriage, it is rare that the old lady does not dislike our family's September girl, and please rest assured that the old lady has asked, if it is successful, I will think of a way to let them get married earlier, but I dare not delay the old lady to hold her grandson." ”

When Mrs. Liu heard this, her last bit of worry was gone. A smile bloomed on his face. She also tried September, and that girl seemed to have some affection for her own Erlang, and she was not afraid that she should not.

Banniang talked for a while, Mrs. Liu said goodbye and went back, Banniang sent her out of the hospital, and said that if the matter of Tie Dan was settled, Uncle Liu was also willing, so he let Tie Dan be cleaned up in the next two days, and this time I went to Quanzhou with her.

After sending Mrs. Liu away, as soon as she returned to the house, Wu said: "If that girl in September answers, do you really plan to let her marry Erlang of the Liu family?" Our family is in the filial piety period, looking at Mrs. Liu's appearance, but we can't wait any longer for filial piety. ”

I bought a few maids at the beginning, and I originally kept them at home to serve, but I didn't think that September was a capable one, and the wood shop was perfect, and now it is enough to be independent. She is in charge of the carpentry shop's business, and the father and son of the Liu family are also master carpenters, so it is said that it is not a wise move to marry Liu Erlang this September.

But Banniang thinks differently from others. Her management of the shop has been slowly added to the corporate management model of her previous life in recent years, and it is not necessary to use a deed of sale to retain people.

smiled at Wu's family: "Go back and wait for September to go home, ask at night, I just want to take her to the capital, there is a lot of noise over there and there is a lack of someone in charge, if she wants to do this, I will let her go, let her marry Second Brother Liu as a good citizen." This time I went to the capital, and the two of them could be together, and they would not delay the old lady of the Liu family to hold her grandson, presumably the old lady Liu was also willing. ”

"Gave her a deed?" Wu exclaimed, "How can this be done?" In case ......"

"Sister-in-law, don't worry. Letting go of the deed will not affect her to do things for me, besides, the current situation of the Liu family, how can she marry a daughter-in-law who is still a slave? Since we have responded to Mrs. Liu, why don't we just do it beautifully? It's also an adult beauty. They are doing things in our house, and the benefits they get are far better than setting up another door for themselves, and they are not afraid that they will resign from things, that is, they will resign, and our business is now on track, and a few fewer people will not affect the overall situation. How could the father and son of the Liu family not settle accounts? ”

When Wu heard her say this, he was relieved.

Although when I talked to Mrs. Liu, I asked the Wu family to ask, firstly, because Banniang was unmarried, it was always difficult to publicize other people's marriages, and secondly, because the Wu family was the grandmother in charge, in front of outsiders, it was natural that the Wu family should be in charge of everything. But if you want to ask September, you have to be a mother.

In the afternoon, Banniang sent a little maid to the shop and asked her to come back early in the evening of September.

In September, he thought that Banniang had something to explain, so he returned home at dusk. accompanied Banniang to dinner, Banniang made people ruin the dishes and chopsticks, and asked the maids who served in the house to retreat, only to look at Jiu Jiu and smile: "Do you know what I called you back for?" ”

September's heart is just a business matter, seeing Banniang like this, I thought it was a confidential matter, so I smiled and said, "But what good business method has Miss come up with?" ”

Banniang smiled: "You girl, you are worried about business matters." I ask you, how old are you this year? ”

"The slave is nineteen, and the young lady asks what this is for?"

"What to do? Today, the old lady of the Liu family came to look for her sister-in-law and wanted to marry our family. ”

Mrs. Liu has tried herself a few times, and she has been doing business for all these years in September, and she has long been a good person, where do you not know what the old lady means? When she heard Banniang say this, she blushed.
