Chapter 099: New Officials Take Office (3)
After Aunt Zheng shouted this voice, she began to put up the shelf, waiting for Wang Qifang to turn her head and beg her.
But I didn't want to, people still didn't hear anything, they didn't hum, and pulled their son directly into the silk village.
"Wang Qiniang, you, you really don't want to know? ”
Aunt Zheng obviously didn't expect this kind of result, in her mind, even if it wasn't to win the respect and trust of Confucian businessmen, but to make money, she couldn't let go of such a good opportunity?
At least on the surface, chances.
Holding back the resentment in her heart, Aunt Zheng stepped forward and grabbed two steps, chasing Wang Qifang's back and shouting, "Let me ask you again, are you really not interested?" Tell you that there is only one chance, and you will regret it if you miss it. ”
Seeing that Wang Qifang had already gone up the stairs, Zizhu hurriedly led the other subordinates to follow closely behind, and directly left Aunt Zheng, who was flushed with anger, on the side of the road.
"What? Wang Qiniang is not interested? ”
A middle-aged man about forty years old quietly approached Aunt Zheng's side, looked at the empty gate, and asked expressionlessly.
"Well, she, she and I have a vendetta and may be afraid that I will calculate her. ”
Aunt Zheng tore the handkerchief in her hand hard, and the muscles on her face kept shaking, making the red scar more and more hideous.
"Okay, I know, you try again, if it doesn't work, I'll find another way!"
The middle-aged man leaned sideways, covering his face with a fan, as if he was worried about being recognized by someone, and he said as he checked the movement around him from time to time.
"Don't worry, since I have received your benefits, An will help you get things done." ”
The corner of her eyes swept to the man's movements, Aunt Zheng pursed her lips, hum, what are you hiding, I don't care who you are, as long as you don't deal with Wang Qiniang, you are her friend. Besides, he entrusted himself to do the well affairs that best suited her wishes, not only to calculate the enemy, but also to have silver to take, how can there be such a good thing in the world?!
The middle-aged man confessed again, "Only then did he lower his head, dodge and turn into an alley, turning around and tossing" The figure quickly disappeared into the lively market.
Qingfeng was dressed in a dark green sè suit, holding a sword in his hand, and quietly followed behind the man.
"Mother, that aunt just now said that she had business to talk to you, why didn't you ignore her?" 1 Brother Bu Xin'er sat on a chair in the account room on the second floor, "It's just that he is too short to step on the ground with his two little feet, and he is hanging in the air and kicking for a while."
"Because I'm here to inspect the silk village with Xiaoxin today, not to talk to her about business. If she is really sincere, she will not pull people to talk on the street, but will officially send a message to our family, and then go to the house to talk about the rules. ”
Wang Qifang sat behind the desk, casually looked at the account books sent by the big shopkeeper, heard her son's question, and deliberately guided her.
Brother Xiaoxin tilted his head, "The two big clear and bright eyes were full of suspicion, obviously not understanding his mother's words.
Wang Qifang couldn't help but smile when she saw her son's cute appearance, put down the account book, came to her son, squatted down and explained carefully: "What did my mother mean by what she said just now?" is to tell you two things.
First, there must be a sequence of doing things, there is a main nose, just like today's business, our main task today is to deal with the business of the silk village" is a must to do, even if you want to chat with that woman, you have to finish the business. ”
Speaking of this, she deliberately stopped, looking at her son with gentle eyes, waiting for him to digest these words slowly.
Brother Xiaoxin thought about it with a small mouth, and then nodded vigorously, "Well, just like my father said, reading and practicing martial arts are serious things, and you have to finish your daily homework before you can be with your sister and Xiao."
Good play, right? ”
Wang Qifang nodded again and again, and praised without hesitation: "1 Brother Bu Xin'er is right, hehe, my son is so smart. ”
The little new brother opened his mouth happily and smiled very happily.
Second, don't take the words of strangers, especially those who hold a grudge against you. The man just now said that he had business to talk to me, but there was no sincerity on his face, and the tone of his voice was even more unkind" Brother Xiaoxin blinked his eyes, he quickly understood this sentence, and even added" "Mother is right, that aunt's eyes are so terrifying, just like the female monster in the story." ”
"Hehe, 1 Brother Bu Xin is really powerful, and he also knows how to observe words and observe sè." Wang Qifang praised her son again and continued: "She is full of resentment again, and she speaks so politely, how can she talk about business a little? We also passed by several shops just now, and you also saw the way those young men greeted customers, who of them dared to put on a face to customers? ”
Brother Xiaoxin pursed his lips and thought about it, and shook his head, "No." Dad once said that the ancestor had a famous saying, called "The customer is the Jade Emperor." ”
Guided by Wang Qifang, 1 Bu Xinge'er compared, and really saw the problem, he puffed out his cheeks, rolled up his sleeves hard, lù out of his white nènnèn little arm, waved it vigorously, and said a little angrily: "Mother, is that monster trying to harm you?" Otherwise, how could they look at us like that? ”
Dad said that the men in the family should protect women, but he is a real man.
"Mother doesn't know, nothing can be just guessed, there must be evidence." Wang Qifang never solemnly told her children some big truths, and always used some small things to tell the children some Taoist theories about how to behave in the world, she gently rubbed the little new brother's bulging cheeks, and smoothed his sleeves, and said gently: "Just now my mother has sent someone to follow that woman." Look at what she did after we left, the people she had contact with, and what unusual things she had recently, so that you can judge why she did it. ”
Xiao Xinji'er twisted her eyebrows, trying to digest her mother's words.
"Okay, you're still young, let's learn these things slowly." Wang Qifang chatted with her son a few more words, and then called the big shopkeeper of the silk village.
The big shopkeeper surnamed Qiu, was originally a small businessman, and was repeatedly bullied and blackmailed by Confucian merchants and powerful people in Beijing, so that he almost went bankrupt, and finally gritted his teeth and simply took the few remaining industries to the Zhao family as slaves.
Although he lost his freedom, his life is getting better and better, and he is the big shopkeeper in the silk village that originally belonged to his own family, in addition to the annual salary of one hundred and twenty taels of Dai silver, the lord also promised him two percent of the dividends.
Don't look at the two red, but when converted, it is far more than the money you earn as a boss. First, there are fewer harsh taxes and protection fees: second, the business of the shop is getting better and better, and the scale is getting bigger and bigger, "from two rooms to the current two-storey, two-bottom, four-room house, which is fully double the expansion of the past." There was still no suitable house nearby, otherwise, he would have been able to continue to expand.
You must know that the name of the president of the Confucian Chamber of Commerce is a gold-lettered signboard, just like the sword of Shang Fang in the hands of the ministers. Not to mention that those Confucian merchants didn't dare to come to find fault, even the ordinary officials in Beijing didn't dare to provoke them at will.
Since the shopkeeper Qiu hung up this sign, he can walk sideways in this part of the West Market, and he doesn't have to pay any taxes" There are no blind gangsters to collect protection money, and there is no black-hearted Confucian businessman with empty gloves and white wolves who come to blackmail 1 Bu Life is not to mention how comfortable it is, and Shopkeeper Qiu often wakes up with a smile in his dreams.
It's just that this kind of good life is coming to an end.
When Shopkeeper Qiu heard that President Zhao was defeated, this sentence suddenly smashed into his mind, and the whole person was like a frosted eggplant, wilted!
Seeing that he was about to be beaten back to his original form, the shopkeeper Qiu was so anxious that he couldn't sleep all night, so he asked people everywhere to make the silver to inquire about the news, and he tossed for several days.
That's right, the old man is indeed not the president, but the new president is the master's other son, hey, this is not a respectable person, he is indeed the grandson of the old man Zhao.
And what made the shopkeeper Qiu even more excited was that the old man actually gave himself and this silk village to the new president, although the new president is a milk baby who doesn't know anything, but his name is valuable.
Early the next morning after getting the news, Shopkeeper Qiu prepared a heavy gift and went to Pingkangfang to deliver a post to ask to see the new master. Of course, "he didn't see the owner, but that's not the point" The point is that the new master will personally take care of this shop, and his silk village will forever be recorded in the history of the Confucian Chamber of Commerce in the future.
With this idea, no matter what request Wang Qifang put forward, Shopkeeper Qiu would not refuse.
"Is this tulle imported from the capital?"
Wang Qifang pointed to a pile of plain white tulle materials stacked in the corner of the warehouse and asked.
"Back to the grandmother, this kind of material is produced in Lingxian County, not far from the capital, because this kind of yarn is light, thin and soft, and the nose is more suitable for making summer underwear, our silk village has been selling this kind of material, and the small one also specially signed a contract with the chief there, except for our Zhao Ji, there is no second copy in the capital."
When it comes to his old business, Shopkeeper Qiu is full of confidence, and even a little proud.
"If it's selling so well, why are there so many left?" ”
It was none other than Chairman Zhao Liangchun, the new owner of Qiu's shopkeeper, who raised the question.
The smile on the shopkeeper Qiu's face froze, and then he first saluted the little new brother with a fist, and then said in a formal manner: "1 Young Master Bu is really observant, that's right, although this kind of fabric is good, but the season xìng is too strong, and only spring and summer sell well." It's mid-autumn now, and shipments are slow. ”
Wang Qifang lowered her head, smiled at her son's face with a small bun, and talked to the shopkeeper Qiu with concern. She was not in a hurry to interject, she came here today to train him, let him intuitively feel what business is, and fortunately pass the Confucian business conference in a few days. Now I see him asking questions and thinking like this, although those questions are a little childish, but for his age, it is very difficult to ask such words.
"Well, you did a good job, worthy of being trained by your grandfather to help me do things, I won't treat you badly." Brother Xiaoxin held his head high, trying to recall how his father talked to his subordinates, and at the same time learned to tell the shopkeeper Qiu in a milky voice.
"Thank you, young master."
When Shopkeeper Qiu heard this, he didn't care that the other party was a little milk baby, so he hurriedly stood up straight and bowed to the end.
The little new brother quietly raised his eyes and looked at his mother, his big black eyes were full of excitement, as if asking "Did I do the right thing?"
Wang Qifang smiled and nodded, lightly mōmō on the top of his son's head, and instructed the shopkeeper Qiu: "You also heard what the little young master said just now, I won't say anything superfluous, you go to do one thing first, quickly go to the place where this kind of tulle is produced, and let them provide a hundred horses of this kind of fabric within three days, I will be of great use!" ”@。
