"Hitting a stone with an egg?" Su Xiaoman smiled indifferently, "I may not be something that the shopkeeper can shatter." ”

Although Xiaoman is well-dressed, and has such a big store, Xia Wanrou, who is in contact with her, looks like the daughter of a big family, but they are women after all, and the shopkeeper Wang is not easy to mess with, if Xiaoman insists on competing with the shopkeeper Wang, how can Qin Chun put his mind at ease?

In particular, the other party has said such things now, isn't this just that he has made up his mind to fight with the king's shopkeeper.

Qin Chun didn't know Xiao Man's origin, so she was naturally worried, she frowned, "Xiao Man, I have already folded on the shopkeeper Wang, you must not ...... I... You must not—"

Without waiting for her to finish, Xiao Man smiled and clenched her hand, "Qin Chun, don't worry, I'll definitely be fine." ”

"But the king's treasurer... He is not as kind as he seems on the surface, you ......" Qin Chun didn't know how to persuade her.

Seeing this, Su Xiaoman patted her hand, "Okay, let's not talk about this yet, has your salary been paid this month?" If you don't dislike my small shop, you can come to us, I heard you have a child at home, right? If you're too busy, it's okay to work at home, and I'll send someone to pick it up. ”

Su Xiaoman was determined to help Qin Chun, which Xia Wanrou also saw, and this Qin Chun was really pitiful, and she couldn't help but feel compassion.

Therefore, she also followed the persuasion; "Miss Qin, Xiaoman really wants to help you, you must not give up, even if it is for your own children, you have to work hard, don't you?"

The shopkeeper Wang treated Qin Chun harshly, and didn't even let her go home after closing, and the salary she was given was definitely not as good as the Manrou Garment Workshop, especially the shopkeeper forced her to make clothes with other tricks, if it weren't for the pressure of life, Qin Chun would not have been subject to the shopkeeper Wang.

"Qin Chun, what do you think of the conditions for me to open, are you still satisfied?" Xiaoman asked.

Qin Chun drooped her eyebrows, her dry hair hung down, and her hands were clutching her clothes, I don't know if she was too entangled or too ......

"Good! I promise you! Qin Chun raised his head suddenly, his eyes were still full of tears, but his gaze was already very firm, "Shopkeeper Su, Yaliuge just sent me a monthly money, but Shopkeeper Wang still has half a month's salary for me, I have decided, I don't want the money, just send it to Huazi!" I'll be here with you tomorrow! ”

Qin Chun, who is helpless and has no savings, can give up half a month's salary, which is enough to show how determined she is.

In this case, Xiaoman naturally can't slack off, "Don't worry, I will definitely help you get the half month's monthly money out!" ”

Xia Wanrou on the side was curious, "Xiaoman, what are you going to do?" ”

"Didn't you say that the forces behind the king's shopkeeper are complicated, I want to see how complicated and difficult this force is!" Xiao Man was full of ambition and raised his head and said confidently.

She is good friends with Jiang Qiming, and she is the emperor's own wife, and there is a noble girl like Xia Wanrou in Beijing by her side, the emperor doesn't dare to move himself easily now, how powerful can the king's shopkeeper be, is it possible to let someone more powerful than the emperor stand out for him?

It's not early, the traffic of Manrou Garment Shop is getting less and less these days, most of them are attracted by Yaliuge, Xiaoman is not in a hurry now, she ordered the guys to close the door early, and then go back to the house with Xia Wanrou to discuss the next things.

Now that she knew Qin Chun's intentions, Xiao Man didn't dare to delay for a moment, she ordered someone to check out the few shops behind the king's shopkeeper, and found a very interesting thing.

This Wang shopkeeper is not only involved in embroidery, cloth and other related industries, he has dozens of shops in Beijing, including spices, rouge gouache, gold and silver jewelry, pawnshops, restaurants, and even fireworks Willow Lane has his shop, from high-ranking officials to the common people, the audience of his shop covers all people.

"Sister Wanrou, it seems that this shopkeeper Wang is quite rich, and he runs so many stores by himself." Xiaoman sighed from the bottom of his heart.

Xia Wanrou smiled lightly when she heard this, and shook her head, "Actually, it's not." ”

Looking at Xiaoman's puzzled appearance, she put down the teacup and explained carefully: "There are many dignitaries and nobles in Shangjing, as well as many princes, although they receive a lot of money every month, and Mrs. also has a grade of monthly income, but there are many people in the house, and the expenses are also large, and it is inevitable that you will not be able to make ends meet for a long time, so you can only find a way to make money." Because of their face, these nobles couldn't pull down their faces and go out to do business in person, and gradually, people like the shopkeeper Wang appeared in Shangjing. ”

"They hang the false position of the shopkeeper, but in fact, they have no rights at all, just make money for the real owner of the store, only when the store's income increases, they can make money, otherwise they will only be scolded by the people above, such a thankless job, few people can do it."

In fact, these are also what Xia Wanrou heard from the elders of the family when she was still in the boudoir, but she had never seen them, and now that she heard Xiaoman talk about the king's shopkeeper, she hooked him with the memories of the old days.

Su Xiaoman nodded as if he didn't understand, "No wonder Qin Chun said that someone supported the king's shopkeeper, that's what he meant, it seems that we still have to check deeper to see who the real owner of Yaliu Pavilion is." ”

Xia Wanrou thought for a while, "I have a way to do this, it's better to leave this matter to me, you can concentrate on raising the fetus, save too much work." ”

"Okay, thank you, Sister Wanrou." Su Xiaoman said gratefully.

said that she was allowed to raise the fetus with peace of mind, but how could Su Xiaoman's temperament endure it, in the past few days, taking advantage of Xia Wanrou's affairs in Yaliuge, Su Xiaoman has put the store in order.

The old patterns in the store have been copied away, and Xiaoman deleted the old and unpopular patterns from the pattern book, and added a batch of new patterns, so as to save some customers first, so that the flow of time will not be too bleak.

Next, Xiaoman spent a lot of money to wholesale a large number of good new fabrics, and explained the benefits of this batch of materials to all the guys, so that they could have something to say when making clothes for customers, so that the guests would not mistakenly think that the fabrics of Manrou Garment Workshop and Yaliuge were the same color.

After doing all this, Xia Wanrou also made new progress.

"The real owner of this Yaliu Pavilion is inseparable from Chen Hu, the youngest son of the eldest princess of Changze, this Chen Hu was stripped of his title by the emperor for breaking into the harem to molest the concubines, and took back the mansion, and is now living in the eldest princess's mansion, because he is greedy for pleasure, even if he has every month to help the eldest princess, it is impossible to meet his needs, so he followed the example of others, found a king shopkeeper, and opened this Yaliu Pavilion, the purpose of which is to make money, so that he can have fun."

"There is more than one Yaliu Pavilion in Shangjing, but because of the limited ability to repair the distance, it can only be found here, and the other shops in Chen Hu cannot be found at all."

Hearing this, Xiao Man couldn't help frowning, it seems that the person above the king's shopkeeper is really not easy to mess with, and it turned out to be the child of the eldest princess.

Everyone in Donglan Country knows that this eldest princess spoils her children, so her children are stubborn, because she is the emperor's sister of the same father and mother, so even the emperor does not dare to interfere more, even Chen Hu broke into the harem to molest the concubines, and the emperor just took away the title and took back the mansion, without much reprimand.

Xiao Man sighed, did he really want to stop here?

She was not reconciled.

Seeing this, Xia Wanrou sat down and asked worriedly, "Xiaoman, do we want to continue?" Still is...... Just stop there? ”

Although Yaliu Pavilion continues to plagiarize, but the Manrou Garment Workshop is not to the point of losing money, after all, the people on this Yaliu Pavilion are relatives of the emperor, and they are also blessed by the eldest princess, if you want to bring him down, it is not easy.

Xiao Man bit his lip tightly, sat firmly on the chair and didn't know how long he thought about it, and finally raised his head and said in a deep voice: "Go on." ”

"Xiaoman." Xia Wanrou said worriedly: "That's the eldest princess's child, we don't have ...... There is no need to offend her for this matter. ”

If you offend Chen Hu and the eldest princess, it will be equivalent to offending the emperor, if you win the battle another day, it's fine, but what if you lose? It is difficult to guarantee that the emperor will not take advantage of this incident to avenge Su Xiaoman's offence against the eldest princess.

And Lu Li was suspected by the emperor before, and now he pays attention to it just because there is no one in the court to fight, and now if Su Xiaoman offends the eldest princess again, then things will only go to a worse place.

But how could Xiaoman not know this, but she was unwilling.

She has to think about everything for Lu Li, but she also has to take care of her own feelings, her achievements were plundered by them, and she made a lot of money, who can be willing?

She sighed and didn't speak for a long time.

Xia Wanrou had the heart to persuade her, but she didn't know how to speak, she glanced at Xiao Man, sighed faintly, and accompanied Xiao Man to sit by the attic window until sunset.

"Knock knock—"

"Come in."

The person who came was Qin Chun.

Since Xiao Man explained his mind to her that day, Qin Chun came to the store to help the next day, her mother came from her hometown to take care of her children, Qin Chun was able to have more time to go out to work, but these days there are few customers in the store, and he is not busy, except for a few words with Lao Zhou, Qin Chun can only sit down.

The guys in the store got Su Xiaoman's order, no one dared to squeeze Qin Chun, plus Qin Chun had a good temper and didn't like to care, after a long time, several people got along very happily.

Xiao Man sorted out his clothes, "Sister Qin Chun, why are you here?" ”

After the past few days, Qin Chun's complexion has improved a lot, she has a smile on her face at this time, and her eyes are bright, "Shopkeeper Su, someone downstairs is looking for you." ”

"Who?" Xiaoman is in a bad mood and can't be interested in anything.

Qin Chun didn't seem to notice it, and still said excitedly: "It's Lord Jiang Qiming, who personally brought people here, and brought a lot of gifts, saying that he came to thank you." ”

Jiang Qiming is here?
