Chapter 038: The second young man returned home

"Qi Niang, are you going to partner with Zijuan and his wife to open a theater?"

Sending the purple juan away, Mama Zhao asked a little puzzled.

"That's right, public opinion is the tongue of society, and only when we have the right to speak, will we be in the active position," Wang Qifang has long wanted to have a propaganda weapon of his own, and in the case of Da Zhou, opera is the best means.

In addition, when Qingfeng came back this time, he also brought someone's message, hoping that she could help the Chivalry League establish a base for collecting intelligence, so as to better grasp the movements of the capital.

Originally, Wang Qifang could not have been involved in these affairs of the rivers and lakes, but she asked Li Jingtian to help several times, and there were four preparatory knights of the Chivalrous League by her side, and it was the first time that people asked her to come here, and she said it very politely, and everything was about her cousin and her cousin. In this way, she, Wang Qifang, is emotional, reasonable, public and private, and has to help Li Jingtian.

Alas, just help, besides, making friends with the Chivalrous Alliance is not all good for her.

However, according to Wang Qifang's knowledge, the best place to collect intelligence is the Qinglou and the teahouse theater. Qinglou, Wang Qifang is burdened by her identity, and she must not be able to get involved, otherwise, without others, Mama Zhao behind her naked body can also nag her to death; Teahouse, well, you can consider it, however, she doesn't have this talent on hand, after all, opening a teahouse is also a business, and she can't lose money; The only thing left is the theater, not only people, but also help themselves.

"What tongue? What is the right to speak? ”

Mama Zhao listened to it in a fog, Qi Niang's words were really getting more and more profound, and she couldn't keep up every time.

"Oh, it's nothing," Wang Qifang saw that Mama Zhao's round face was wrinkled, so she shook her head with a smile and temporarily turned the matter of the theater over. However, Xiaoya's pretended innocent little face suddenly flashed in her mind, and the mature appearance of the smile that did not reach the bottom of her eyes, she said with a little worry: "The matter of the theater is not important, Yuan Niang's is the focus of our attention at present." ”

"Yuan Niang? What happened to Yuan Niang? ”

Today, Zhao Erlang entered Beijing, and Mama Zhao was rushed by Wang Qifang to pick up her son, and she didn't follow her to say hello to Mrs. Zhao at all, so naturally she didn't know what happened in the morning.

"Yuan Niang~" Wang Qifang didn't continue, she pouted with a wry smile, "Maybe it's because I haven't been around since I was a child, and I suddenly feel that I don't know this child." Mama, in order to prevent the little girl from getting farther and farther away from us, we must hurry up and bring the child back."

"Okay, then I'll send someone to the Rose Garden to keep an eye on it, so that the craftsmen can progress faster, even if we give more money."

Mama Zhao still didn't know what Wang Qifang was stimulated, but seeing the girl's lonely look, she felt distressed for a while, and hurriedly came up with an idea.

"It's fine." Wang Qifang nodded, then changed the topic and asked, "By the way, Brother Erlang is here, is the family okay?" ”

"Okay," Mama Zhao mentioned her son and grandson, chrysanthemums suddenly bloomed on her face, she smiled and squinted her eyes, and said happily: "At first, that dead boy was not happy, saying that it was not easy to live in that small place in Qingyuan, and he ran all the way to the capital, how did their family live." ”

This is the truth, Wang Qifang nodded, she could even guess that Zhao Erlang's original words must be worse than this. Who made her, the master, too weak in the past, and even the nurse brother had no confidence in her.

"However, after seeing the house that Qi Niang you placed for them, this kid was suddenly stupid," Zhao Mama rarely hid anything in front of Wang Qifang, besides, she also knew that the current Qi Niang was not the original Wang Qifang, she may not say anything but understand everything in her heart. There are some things that it is better to say them and put them on the bright side, so as not to be provoked by someone with a heart from the middle and hurt the feelings between them.

"Well, it's good that Brother Erlang is satisfied," Wang Qifang saw that Mama Zhao was so happy, and she was also happy for the old man, and said with a smile: "However, this place is only temporary." In the past few days, the shop we just took back is waiting for the tenants to move, and when it is cleaned up, Brother Erlang and they are going to move to the shop. ”

The shops Wang Qifang said refer to the few rooms that were rented out by Wang Xin at a low price. After sending Wang Xin's family away, Wang Qifang specially sent someone to inform the tenant from house to house, saying that she wanted to take back the shop, and she was willing to compensate double the rent before the lease expired.

And those tenants, it seems that they have also heard some rumors, plus the people sent by Wang Qifang, who are also followed by the head catchers of Jingzhao Mansion, who know that this second young grandmother is coming to Zhenge'er, and they are also afraid that the Zhao family or the Li family will come to find them trouble, so they all happily accepted the rent returned by Wang Qifang, of course, they didn't dare to ask for any money paid - which one of the people who opened a shop in Beijing was stupid? The Zhao family in the capital and the Li family in Qingzhou, they can't afford to mess with it.

It's just that there are still two or three families who can't find a suitable shop for a while, so they begged Wang Qifang and bothered her to be tolerant for a few days, waiting for them to find a good house before moving.

Wang Qifang was very satisfied with these tenants being so good-natured, and after listening to the report, she felt that the request of the two or three families was not too much, and she didn't want to do things in a desperate way, so she agreed to the request of those tenants, and gave them an extra half a month to find a house.

Now that the deadline has come and the tenants have moved away obediently, Wang Qifang has found a craftsman and is decorating in full swing.

When designing the decoration style, Wang Qifang went to take a look and found that the shops that the Wang family married were not bad, the locations were in the most prosperous shops in the east and west cities, and the area was not small, in addition to the shops facing the street, there were a small courtyard and a few bungalows in the back, which were cheap when warehouses or residents.

So, she thought at that time that after the shop opened, let the shopkeeper or the guy go to the backyard to live, not only to see the shop, but also to give her subordinates favors, killing two birds with one stone.

Now that Zhao Erlang is here, Wang Qifang decided to transfer a small shop to him to try his ability, if he is really a talent, she will hand over the other rooms to Zhao Erlang to be in charge. If it was a dou, the shop would go directly to Mama Zhao's name, and it should be used as an industry for the elderly to care for the elderly.

"Look at the shop?" When Mama Zhao heard this, a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, she thought that Qi Niang called her son to run errands and errands for her, and she was already taking care of her as a steward. I didn't expect Qi Niang to value her milk brother so much, and Erlang just came and let him be the big shopkeeper alone. It's just that in case her son doesn't do well, Mama Zhao bit her lip and said worriedly: "Is he okay?" In the past, when he was in the Wang family, Erlang was just a small steward on the counter, and he was in charge of two primary school apprentices under his hands, and he didn't work for a few years before he was driven back to the Wang family by the big shopkeeper. Qi Niang, Mama knows that you want to promote your brother, but ...... Or let him learn from the big shopkeeper first, when will he be able to do it, and then let him be an errand? ”

"Hehe, no, I believe Brother Erlang" Wang Qifang saw that there was no one else in the room, so she pulled Mama Zhao to sit beside her, "Mama, you just let Brother Erlang do it." If he encounters any difficulties, let him go to the Li Cotton Cloth Store in Dongshi to find the shopkeeper of Li Da, and I have said hello to my uncle. ”

"Qi Niang ......" Mama Zhao saw that Wang Qifang thought of everything for Erlang, and she was indescribably moved.

No, she called that bastard boy in the afternoon, and explained to him, if Erlang didn't do a good job, don't blame her for being unkind.

"By the way, after Brother Erlang settles down at home, let him come to the house tomorrow, and I will explain the matter of the shop to him"

"Oh, yes, yes"

Mama Zhao agreed again and again.

In the afternoon, after lunch, Zijuan came running in a hurry.

"How about it, does your family Su Lang agree?"

Wang Qifang saw Zijuan's expression and knew that this was done. Still, she asked pretendedly.

"Back to the second young grandmother, my family Su Lang said that since the second young grandmother looks up to him so much and gives him such a big face, he has to carry it around whatever he says." Zijuan bowed down and stood in front of the kang, took out two pieces of white paper from his purse, and held them to Wang Qifang with both hands, "As soon as I heard that you said that you wanted to buy shares, my Su Lang was very happy." Hurriedly found the bookkeeper of the theater, and first converted the price of the theater class and the theater, as well as the cost of renovating the theater...... Well, you see, the accounts are here."

Wang Qifang listened to Zijuan's words, and nodded secretly in her heart: It seems that this Su Zijian is also quite smart, does things in an orderly manner, and is a person who does practical things.

Taking the paper, Wang Qifang looked at it, and simply wrote a few lines on the paper, which was roughly as follows: "There are fourteen actors in the troupe, two musicians, one handyman, and a few apprentices, and each person has a total of ten taels of silver per month; a number of costumes and props, worth 100 taels; It took 320 taels to renovate and rearrange the furniture in the future...... The above items total six hundred and ninety taels. ”

"Su Lang said, the entire plum blossom opera class is worth nearly seven hundred taels, and the young grandmother contributed one thousand taels, which accounts for sixty percent of the total output value, if we partner, the dividends can be divided in this way, Su Zijian accounts for three shares, and the second young grandmother accounts for seven shares, and jointly manages the plum blossom opera troupe."

Zijuan said as she peeked at Wang Qifang's reaction. In fact, this is also a small trick for Su Zijian, because according to the proportion of actual output value, Su Zijian should account for four shares, but he also knows that he folded the costume or everything into it, and he took advantage of it, for fear that Wang Qifang would feel that he was not sincere, so he directly asked for three shares by retreating.

"Hehe, in this case, won't you lose," his finger clicked on the words on the white paper, and said with a smile: "Forget it, you are my person, can I still take advantage of your little couple." In this way, I have six shares, Su Banzhu has four shares, and I will not interfere in the daily affairs of the troupe. However, I still have the final say on the big things, how? ”

"That's a good dare," this was better than what the two of them discussed in private, and Zijuan hurriedly and happily agreed.

"Okay, let Master Su come to Zhao's house tomorrow, and I will sign a contract with him"

Wang Qifang didn't expect Zijuan to agree so simply, and even went home to negotiate with the minister, so she knew that either Zijuan's status at home was transcendent and she could be the master of the house; Either the two of them had already discussed, but the conditions she gave were far more than they expected to take over.

"Second young grandmother, Sister Ruixiang in the wife's courtyard is here, and when she saw that you were busy, she left a message and left," Ziyuan saw that Wang Qifang and Zijuan had finished talking about business, so she reported: "Ruixiang said that the house received a letter from the second young master, and the letter said that the second young master's business was over, and he would be able to return to the house in a few days."
