Chapter 62 There is nothing wrong with knowing your relatives when you hit a wall
Out of Zhu Xuerong's courtyard, Qian San did not leave the Chengguo Mansion directly.
Instead, he bent a corner, looked for a distant relative who worked in the Chengguo Mansion to lead the way, and went straight to the Li family's courtyard.
"Madame, be quiet."
Entering the hall, Qian San did not hesitate to kowtow to the Li family who was sitting in the master's seat.
Li is the equal wife of Zhu Xizhong, the Duke of Chengguo, not the wife of the concubine, Yu Li, is not qualified to be called "Mrs.", even if she wants to call it, she can only call "Second Lady".
But no, it's one thing, unwillingness, it's another.
Qian San "relied on" his humble background and "didn't know the etiquette" to call Mrs. Li, and no one would punish him, but listening to this "Mrs.", Li's mood would be very different.
This is Qian San's usual method, and every time he deals with the wives and concubines of famous families, he can be invincible.
"Get up."
"It's cold, it's cold on the ground."
Mood can always easily sway people's attitudes.
Listening to Qian San calling himself "madam", the corners of Li's lips, which were slightly angry, unconsciously rose slightly.
A few years ago, the wife of Zhu Xizhong, the prince of Chengguo, contracted a cold, and asked the imperial doctor all over the place, but there was no improvement.
This morning, she went to say hello, as if it sounded worse than yesterday.
A family like the Chengguo Mansion, if no one is fed by the Lord for a day, it will be a mess.
Because of Li's identity, second only to Xu, the wife of Zhu Xizhong, the Duke of Chengguo, Xu was sick for a while, and the errand of being in charge of the middle feed in the house fell into her hands without accident.
She has always been a master of plucking feathers.
This time, he took advantage of the opportunity to take charge of the middle feed in the house, and put her already in love, her aunt died early, and she was going to be married to the two dowry Zhuangzi of Zhu Xuerong, the concubine in the south of the Yangtze River, in the spring, so that the two bad shops that lost money every year and had no price were forcibly exchanged under their own names.
To be honest, she didn't look forward to the death of Xu Shi, the wife of Zhu Xizhong, the Duke of Chengguo.
Because, even if the Xu family died, the position of the wife would not fall into her hands.
According to the temperament of Zhu Xizhong, the Duke of Chengguo, he will marry another one soon, and his family background will be back with the right family background of the Chengguo Mansion.
At that time, no matter what kind of yellow-haired girl the new Mrs. Yan was in the door, she had to be obedient, and she finally got the opportunity, took the middle feed in her hand and handed it over, and bowed her head to her ear, calling the yellow-haired girl "sister".
Simply, Xu's death is not good for her, but it is better to let Xu be bedridden for decades, half-dead and occupy the position of a vacated wife.
Oh, as long as she can be stable and pinch the middle feed in the house, even if she is just a flat wife, how can she get it?
Seeking the right to a certain position, the favor is returned, what, there is less gold and silver and wealth, she only has to use all the other concubines of Zhu Xizhong, the Duke of Chengguo, to drive out of Yanjing, so that her son, Zhu Shitong, inherited the title......
"I heard that in my wife's hands, there are a few shops at the mouth of Tongluo Lane, and I think that the people who come and go are miscellaneous, and I want to change it into a house in the east of the city to prepare a dowry for the second lady."
"I don't know Madame, do you want to change the house for a few times?"
With people like Li, who like to listen to flattery, they can only pick words that are pleasing to the ear.
You must know that the second lady of the Chengguo Mansion, the Li family, is a well-known wealthy.
This Li family is just good at taking advantage and flattering, not really just missing the harvest of those shops, so he wants to exchange those shops that are not profitable into the side.
If he can't speak properly, he will help the young master buy a shop, and he will be "yellow" here.
Looking up, he glanced at Qian San, who was prostrate on the ground and talking to him, and Li's mood couldn't help but feel a little better.
She took a deep breath, picked up the teacup in her hand, and took a shallow sip.
It seems that the fact that she made two dilapidated shops that did not have a market and forcibly replaced Zhu Xuerong's two good harvest Zhuangzi has spread to the outside.
However, this kid who came to talk to him about business was not very annoying.
"I'm not a greedy person."
"Three shops, why don't you change to a house with five in and three out?"
"I'm going to make a dowry for my concubine, if it's more childish than a concubine's dowry, wouldn't it make people laugh at me for becoming a princess, there are no rules?"
In terms of market price, the three shops at the mouth of Causeway Lane are indeed far better than a five-in, three-out house in the east of the city.
But looking at Yanjing, what fool is willing to take the things he sells and exchange them for the things he will smash in his hands?
"Madame has a point."
"How can the concubine of the dignified state mansion lose to a concubine in the regulation of dowry!"
Speak to people, and be more pleasing than three points.
People like Qian San, who make a living by doing matchmaking business, have long practiced this kind of pleasing reaction into instinct.
"Your name is Qian San?"
Li put down the teacup in his hand, looked at it carefully, and knelt in the first three ten steps away.
"Reply to Madame."
"The little one is a posthumous child, and when he lands, even his mother's life is gone."
"The neighbors, look at the small ones pitifully, just a mouthful of buns in the east family, a bowl of porridge in the west family, and feed the small ones alive."
"Because no one taught, when you grow up to the age of three, you can learn to speak, and no one wants to bother to name the little one, so I took the word 'three' and added the surname of the ancestor, calling it such a name."
Most of the ladies and ladies in the backyard of famous families like to take advantage of the discomfort of others and make fun of themselves.
Hearing Li ask his name, Li San hurriedly moved out his life experience that he had said countless times before.
He is used to being used to being used as a joke by these rich ladies and ladies.
Time flies, and people's hearts are changeable.
No matter how sad the past is, it will become a hard armor with repetition again and again, and it will not be invaded by fire and water.
When he told someone about this for the first time, Qian San cried very much.
But a hundred times, a thousand times, the mood called "sad" disappeared with the jingle of copper coins, and could no longer condense.
"Speaking of which, you're a poor man, too."
Li Shi said words of sympathy for Qian San, but the corners of his lips unconsciously smiled.
Like most of the ladies who live in the backyard of famous mansions and are pampered, she doesn't really regard a person from a humble background like Qian San as a person who, like her, has joys and angers, joys and sorrows.
No, to be exact, in her opinion, Qian San, a "untouchable" person, is not even the cat she raises.
"Madame is kind and benevolent, little sobs."
Qian San said as he wiped the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand that had never even been wet.
Then, he kowtowed to Li again.
"I'll leave this matter to you."
"If it's done, your reward will be indispensable."
Li Shiyun said lightly, reached out, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve pocket, and gently touched the corner of his lips.
"We have become a government and have always served people with virtue."
"You're doing things for me, but you've got to remember this."
Li's attitude, to put it bluntly, is that he wants to be a bitch and set up an archway.
She wanted to exchange three shops with no income for Zhu Xuerong's house in the east of the city, and she didn't want people to point her back, saying that she was bullying the weak and not leaving a way for the concubines in the mansion to live.
Qian San is going to do this, she is not interested.
As long as she is concerned, Zhu Xuerong didn't say a word about this "secret loss" after the incident, accepted her fate to be a good "pawn" in the house, and honestly married to Jiangnan, outside the mansion, no one discussed her right or wrong.
"Madame's lesson, the little one has been written down."
Disdain in the heart, on the face. But there was no lack of respect and admiration at all.
Qian San kowtowed to Li again, and made a promise to her in earnest words.
In their business, there will indeed be people who use pickling methods to force sellers who are unwilling to make a move.
But he would never do that, or rather, disdain to do that.
……
Qian San's movements were fast.
In two days, he got all the prices of the nine shops at the mouth of Causeway Lane and put them in front of Shen Hongxue.
Among them, five are the properties of the Chengguo Mansion, two are owned by the British Mansion, and two are retail investors who cheated people and bought shops to do business, but smashed them in their own hands.
Under the prodding of Qian San. The opening prices of these shops are much lower than the market price.
Shen Hongxue wrote on the paper, the opening prices of those shops, one by one, and before he could speak, he listened to Qian San Xianbao, saying that he could lower the price and buy the house that Zhu Xuerong was going to sell, and then use the house to exchange the ownership of the three shops with the Li family.
His brow tightened slightly.
Then, he put down the few pieces of paper with the offer written on it, looked up, and carefully looked at Qian San, who was across the table from him.
This person has some meaning.
If you can grasp the weakness and teach a little lesson, you can become a good shopkeeper.
Seeing this, Liu Qingxin is about to marry into the Three Princes' Mansion, and the shop for the wedding will not be able to send the shopkeeper to settle in.
As the saying goes, a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake.
Even if he can persuade Old Man Shen to send the most loyal and reliable shopkeeper in the family to Liu Qingxin, they may not all be able to succeed in this piece of land in Yanjing.
But money three, but it's different.
He was born in Yanjing and grew up in Yanjing, because he had no support at home and no craftsmanship, he could only rely on sticking a face, wandering the streets of the alleys, helping people buy real estate and make a living.
Although, judging from what Qian San did before, he was a little greedy and clever, but no one is perfect, what he wants is just a shopkeeper who can make Liu Qingxin less troublesome, and when he encounters trouble, he can be exquisite, and he is not choosing an aunt for his daughter, so why bother so much?
The world is bustling, all for profit.
The world is crowded, all for profit.
In the past, he always disdained his father's words, and felt that "those who can make wealth and wealth hold the faithful are often more reliable than those who are on the side", which is ridiculous.
However, after going all over the wrong path, in many things, after countless heads and bleeding, he was already in his heart, and enshrined many of Shen Wenfeng's lessons as a code of conduct.
