When he arrived at this foreign goods store, Jin Ran already understood seven or eight points about the reason why the shop business was so sluggish. Not to mention the remote location, after all, the jewelry store is still in a more remote place, and it can still operate.

The most important thing is the guy in the storefront, who looks half-dead, and when he sees a customer coming, he just raises his eyes lazily and continues to sleep on his stomach. As for the counter on the counter, he only looked up slightly, and continued to count the account that had not turned a page for half an hour.

Seeing Jin Ran, she walked over the counter in disgust: the store is remote, the guy doesn't entertain customers, what old ginseng does the foreign goods store sell, and there are no novelties, how can this be compared with the store she went to before?

Jin Ran summoned the butler who was originally on standby outside the door, and he sent a message to the shopkeeper who was already napping.

The shopkeeper was originally half-asleep, but he didn't expect to come to the Sheng family's big housekeeper, listen carefully to the housekeeper's words, obediently! The host's lady is here! The fat on his body trembled with fright, and a cold sweat broke out on his back: Ouch! How elusive this young lady is!

When he thought that this young lady had already walked around the front and back of the store, he was even more frightened and didn't know what to say.

"Let's take out all the old goods." Jin Ran lightly ordered, and the young man over there also knew the identity of the young lady in front of him, where did he dare to sleep, and immediately obediently moved out one box after another.

It is said to be a foreign goods store, but what has been moved out of this warehouse is everything: old ginseng with messy roots, bird's nest that has turned yellow and black, and even a few pieces of skin that still look good, but when you turn it over, you find that it has been eaten by insects and has several holes.

Li Ying, who was so angry that she was checking on the side, trembled. She put down the account in her hand and said to Sheng Jinran: "Miss! It's all nonsense! Not at all. ”

Jin Ran was not surprised, as soon as she saw such a shop, she expected that the shopkeeper would be tired, she snorted coldly: "Okay, Li Ying, you go to report to the official, how much silver is missing in this account, I want him to spit it out to me if he has nothing left!" ”

Jin Ran was furious, sent someone to send a few shopkeepers who were greedy for money and bent the law to the official, and ordered someone to burn those messy goods. These goods are stacked together in a big pile, and the fire is particularly vigorous, and the sky is red.

Jin Ran stood by the fire, and said coldly to the newly appointed shopkeeper beside him: "You have heard me clearly, in the future, if this shop has these nonsense things again, then don't blame me for being unkind." ”

The shopkeeper was secretly happy when he picked up the shortage, but he was relieved by three points when he heard Jin Ran's words, and before he could reply, he heard Jin Ran say slowly: "But if the business is good, there will be a reward on my side, and if you do well, the surplus of this shop will also have your share." ”

Enwei and cast it, bluffing the new shopkeeper as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and he said that he would definitely do something.

Fang Tianji on the side was also the first time he had seen Jin Ran's serious appearance. The Jin Ran he saw was playful and shy, but at this time, he was meticulous, and with a capable and confident appearance, he attracted him and couldn't take his eyes off.

After solving the problem of foreign shops, Jin Ran took a look at the jewelry store in Jinling, which still had some deficits before, but in recent days, there were some good tourmaline hairpins, patches, etc., and Jin Ran made suggestions in Beijing, and produced some elegant and fresh styles every day.

By the time I go to the jewelry store, it will be evening. Fang Tianji sent Jinran's master and servant back to Zhang's mansion, and invited Jinran at the door, he pulled the reins and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "There is a horse farm near Jinling, where does the Jinling garrison like to run horses on weekdays, and many young ladies in Jinling also love to go, these days are very hot, how about I take you to run there?" ”

Jin Ran is a lady who does not go out of the door before and after rebirth, not to mention a horse race, and the farthest road to walk every day is from the bedroom to the hall.

At this time, when he heard Fang Tianji's words, he was also a little moved. In the previous life, Jin Ran avoided everywhere for the sake of everyone's good reputation, and didn't dare to do anything, in this life, how can he live more freely: "Running horses?" Good! But I won't, I hope General Fang will teach me! ”

She smiled wantonly and flamboyantly, and agreed to Fang Tianji's invitation.

Although he had never ridden a horse before, Jin Ran had already imagined what the horse farm would look like, galloping towards the sky on horseback, which must be extremely enjoyable.

"Ran'er is back?" Before entering the house, Jin Ran heard his mother's call from inside the house. She smiled and untied her coat and walked into the house: "Mother." ”

Zhang's distressed pulled Jin Ran, who was in the dust: "Oh, look at you're tired." She gently combed Jinran's hair, and then turned her head: "Come on, make a basin of hot water for the young lady to wash her face." ”

It was only after Jinran washed her face and cleaned her hands that she breathed a sigh of relief, she sat at the table, and told her mother about today's events in detail while eating, and then changed her clothes and rested.

After the trip to Hu Ren Street with Fang Tianji that day, Jin Ran became very interested in Hu people and things from the West.

Old Madam Zhang saw that she was fiddling with some Western things in the house every day, so she invited several caravan leaders for her, and those caravans were all caravans that went to sea to trade in the Western Ocean. There are countless goods in hand, and Jin Ran talked with them every day, and instead of buying a few interesting little things, he found a good way to make money.

According to these team leaders, the Chinese Dynasty is now pursuing the policy of opening large gates, and the small seaside counties such as Jinsha and Donggang are all very friendly to these caravans that come to the Chinese Dynasty or go to trade, and the taxes are also extremely low.

Jin Ran has a little understanding of this, when she first married into the Luo family, Luo Xian was an official in the household department at the beginning, and she also had some understanding of the policies of the future Chinese Dynasty and so on.

Now, we can see the signs of opening customs in the future.

Although Jin Ran is a girl, she has been raised under her father's knees since she was a child, and she has always been smart and clever, so she saw something at this time.

The Chinese dynasty has always not allowed officials to do business. If he rashly does business, he will be causing disaster to his father and brother. Generally, this kind of shop and business are hung in the name of reliable servants, and the imperial court also turns a blind eye to this situation.

Just like the Sheng family's shop in Jinling, they are all in the name of Jinran's father's milk brother.

Jin Ran had already asked someone to buy a few stores with good locations a few days ago, but she just didn't think about what to sell, and what she saw and heard in Huren Street in the past few days and the words of those caravan foremen gave her a bold idea.

After that, this customs will definitely be opened again and again, why not take advantage of this trend, set up a caravan by yourself, go south to north, and buy some goods overseas to sell.

Besides, Jinran also has some shops in his hands, and the place where he sells caravan goods is not worried. She took a pen and wrote down some of the things she paid attention to, and after thinking carefully for a long time, she called Li Ying over, Li Ying also has an elder brother at home, and it is most appropriate to hand it over to her at this time.

After finishing these things, Jin Ran breathed a sigh of relief, she has always been secretly competing with herself, she really doesn't dare to relax for a day, she is always afraid that as soon as she relaxes, her family will become like in the previous life.

Li Ying watched Jin Ran work non-stop for a long time in the morning, and she was very distressed, she walked to Jin Ran's side and persuaded her after ordering a few little girls: "Miss doesn't have to be busy at this time even if she wants to have a big career!" There is an old saying in our village, 'You can't get fat by eating one bite'. No matter how anxious you are, you have to take care of your whole body! ”

Jin Ran couldn't confide her worries and anguish in her heart to Li Ying, but she thought about Li Ying's words carefully and felt that there was some truth, so she could only helplessly say: "Okay, well, I'm very tired all morning in this house, so let's go to the garden according to your words." ”

Jin Ran and Zhang's courtyard in Zhang's mansion are facing this hill, and it is also interesting to stroll around in their spare time.

The mountain is not high, only a few hundred meters high. Zhang's mansion built a corridor along the mountain, and added a mahogany fence on the corridor, which is good to look at, integrated with the beautiful scenery in the mountain, and takes into account safety, and the delicate ladies do not have to be afraid to climb up.

Jin Ran loved to play on this mountain when he came to Zhangfu when he was a child, and he revisited his hometown today, but he felt a little more emotional.

When Jin Ran and Li Ying's master and servant climbed to the Qinqiu Pavilion on the top of the mountain, they found that there were already people sitting in the pavilion.

"Ah, why is Sister Ran here?" It was Zhang Qi who spoke, her relationship with Jinran was not bad, and when she came up at this time, she immediately stood up to greet her, while Zhang Zi and Bai Mo, who were sitting on the side, were half a beat slower to get up.

This small pavilion is on the tuyere, and the wind is blowing a little cold. Jin Ran looked at the fruit plate and snacks on the table in this pavilion, and knew that he was disturbing the sisters of the Zhang family.

Jin Ran hurriedly went over and took Zhang Qi's hand and sat down: "Sit down, sit down, sit down, it's windy on the mountain, why don't you wear more?" ”

Before Zhang Qi could speak, Zhang Zi on the side was angry: "Sister Qi, although my sister is a noble girl in Kyoto, you don't have to be like this, it's similar to the pug I raised." ”

Zhang Qi's face was gloomy for a moment when he heard Zhang Zi's words, but he pressed it down and didn't speak, but Bai Mo on the side frowned: "Zi'er, they are all sisters, why do you talk like this?" ”

"What's your name, who is your sister? Don't get close to me! Zhang Zi snapped and opened Bai Mo's outstretched hand on the side, with a look of disgust: "It's just a broken house that fights the autumn wind, what kind of eldest lady is here?" Be sisters with me? You won't have a chance to cultivate the blessings of another eight lifetimes! ”

This is a very damning statement. Rao is white jasmine never leaked out of his emotions in the day, and when he heard this, his eyes were red, and he almost wanted to cry.
