Chapter 021 Crazy Escalation (2)

The matter of the space has stabilized for the time being, just wait for those newly planted crops to grow, and then confirm Wang Qifang's guess. The next focus of life is to move and tidy up the new shop.

"The second young grandmother, the little one has been to see it, the current situation of 'Li Ji' is not very good, the house is in disrepair, there are a lot of sundries in the warehouse, and the shopkeeper and the guys hired are also mediocre...... If you want to reverse the situation of Lee Kee's loss, you need to completely rectify it from top to bottom. ”

Zhao Erlang was wearing a new indigo round-necked robe, with a half-old soft-footed head on his head, bowed down and stood at the bottom of the hall, and said respectfully.

"Well, that's what I thought too." Wang Qifang nodded, Li Ji is something left by her mother to save her life, although Li Huaien has been deliberately abandoned by Li Huaien over the years, and the good shop has become a chicken rib, but she still doesn't want to give up.

After pondering for a moment, he said, "That's it, shopkeeper Zhao, you will first start to choose a few capable shopkeepers and account rooms for me, and after the shop is renovated, you will choose an auspicious day to open." ”

"What about the guy, do you also recruit and train first?"

Zhao Erlang was in charge of Wang Qifang's first two shops, because of his good ability, loyalty and reliability, he was quite valued by Wang Qifang, and became the big shopkeeper of all her shops, not only managing his own two shops, but also shouldering the responsibility of helping Wang Qifang find talents and train people.

"No, I'm thinking about the man's business, but there are some things that are not sure to be good, so I'm not in a hurry."

Wang Qifang shook her head, as there were more and more shops in her hands, she had decided to reinvent 'Li Kee' and readjust her business ideas. As for what to sell, she has also thought about it repeatedly, in fact, she has always wanted to introduce her best things in her previous life, but there are some specific details that still need to be considered, if those details are considered clearly, the main direction of the shop is determined, and the affairs of the guys and other staff will be easy to solve.

At this time, Zizhu walked in with a famous post, leaned into Wang Qifang's ear and muttered a few words.

Wang Qifang took the name card and looked at it, her expression was a little dignified, as if she had something important.

What kind of person is Zhao Erlang, as a shrewd businessman who often walks on the street, how can he not even have this bit of eyesight? He hurriedly gave up his hand, "Okay, if the second young grandmother doesn't have any instructions, the little one will retreat."

"Well, you go get busy"

Wang Qifang waved her hand and motioned to Ziyuan, who was waiting on the side, to send Zhao Erlang out.

When only she and Zizhu were left in the house, Wang Qifang asked, "Is the war really over?" When will the third princess return to the court? ”

"This Steward Liu didn't say anything," Zi Zhu shook her head, she didn't often go out of the inner courtyard, and the things outside were really not clear, "The slave just listened to the little maid sent by Steward Liu, the third princess has something important to entrust you with, so let you go to the third princess's mansion immediately." ”

"Okay, I know, you just let someone go to the carriage, let's go right away."

Now that you have stood in line and have been recognized by the backers, you must be ready to run errands for the backers at any time. Now that the third princess has orders, how can she not go?

It's just that she is a flat-headed commoner, with neither power nor power, what important things can the third princess give her to do? Or, is there something ordering the women's army to stay with her?

With doubts in her stomach, Wang Qifang took a carriage to the mansion of the third princess.

"Oh, Second Young Grandma, you can come."

What flattered Wang Qifang was that Steward Liu, the steward of the outer courtyard of the Third Princess's Mansion, actually ran to the door to greet her in person, and this kind of over-standard treatment made Wang Qifang really a little at a loss.

As the saying goes, the prime minister has seven officials in front of him, let alone the princess who protects the country with power? Not to mention that Wang Qifang and a woman are here, I'm afraid that the dignified Mrs. Yipin is here, and she may not be able to get the personal welcome of Steward Liu, right?

"Hehe, Steward Liu is too polite, in front of you, how dare you call me a young grandmother, you call me Qi Niang," Wang Qifang hurriedly got out of the carriage, walked to Steward Liu in a few steps, curtsied his knees, and then said with a smile: "I heard that the war on the front line has ended, I don't know when Her Royal Highness the princess will return to court, the concubine's "Red Women's Army" has already been arranged, just wait for the triumphant return of the third princess, and perform for His Royal Highness and the sisters of the Women's Army." ”

"The war has ended, and the master has returned to the court with all the soldiers, presumably he will be able to arrive in the capital in two months, and at that time, I will send someone to notify the second young grandmother in advance, so that you can sing your lively tricks and celebrate your Royal Highness and the soldiers."

As soon as Steward Liu mentioned the master who was going home soon, his round face was full of smiles, and he said excitedly while welcoming Wang Qifang into the courtyard.

"Oh, no problem"

Wang Qifang agreed very happily, her plum blossom troupe is still waiting for this day to become famous all over the world.

"However, there is something that needs the help of the second young grandmother."

After entering the second courtyard, Steward Liu invited Wang Qifang into the flower hall, and after letting the subordinates serve tea, he said in a somewhat heavy tone.

"What's the matter? Although Steward Liu said that although the concubine has no ability, as long as she can help, the concubine will do her best. ”

Wang Qifang noticed that when Steward Liu mentioned this 'help', his originally excited face suddenly became dull, as if something bad had happened. Suppressing the uneasiness in her heart, Wang Qifang said with a light smile.

"Okay, the master really didn't see the wrong person"

Steward Liu listened to Wang Qifang's words, slapped the armrest of the chair hard, and praised loudly. Then, he took out a letter from his sleeve pocket, got up and handed it to Wang Qifang, "This is a handwritten letter from Your Highness to you, take a look." ”

"Yes," Wang Qifang heard that it was the third princess's handwritten letter, quickly stood up, took it with respectful hands, and then tore open the envelope and pulled out the letterhead, there were only a few short lines on the letterhead, which roughly meant that the Lady Army suffered heavy casualties in the Northwest War, and some of the seriously wounded had been escorted back to Beijing in advance.

"Placement?" Wang Qifang felt that this word was very meaningful, how to resettle, whether to send people to take care of these wounded, or to take them in?

She lowered her eyes and read the third princess's letter from beginning to end again, and then concluded that the point of this letter was indeed to "settle" this place.

Thinking of this, she raised her head and said to Steward Liu with a serious expression: "The third princess's orders, the concubine should do her best." I just don't know, have these women's troops arrived in Beijing? Or—"

"According to the message they sent back, it is estimated that they will arrive in Beijing tomorrow."

Since the third princess handed over this matter to Steward Liu, he naturally understands the details, and is even more prepared to persuade Wang Qifang if she is reluctant.

But now that he saw that after reading the letter, there was no unusual expression on his face, so that he couldn't use any of the words he had been thinking about for a long time.

Wait, she can't be that she doesn't understand what her master means, right? Still don't realize how difficult things are?

"Second young grandmother, you understand all the orders of Your Highness, if you have any questions or difficulties, you can tell me. Your Highness has commanded that as long as you properly settle those wounded soldiers, you can make any request."

"Steward Liu, don't worry, the third princess handed over such an important matter to me, that is trustworthy to me Wang Qifang, and when His Royal Highness is so important, it is too late for the concubine to be happy, how can she take the opportunity to make any requests."

Seeing Steward Liu's cautious appearance, Wang Qifang was even more convinced of her guess, and she said with a smile, "It just so happens that the concubine has just taken back a farm, which is very close to the capital, and there are many empty houses, so when the injured women's army arrives in Beijing, she can live directly there."

In addition, if these sisters have recovered from their injuries and are willing to return to the army, the concubines should send carriages to send them off, and those who are willing to retire and stay, the concubines will take care of them like the seventeen sisters who were placed before. ”

That's it

As soon as Steward Liu heard this, he knew that Wang Qifang had understood the meaning of the master, and took it on his shoulders very sensibly, so he was very happy at the moment, and said to her with a smile on his face: "Okay, very good, the second young grandmother is really a cool person, the old slave thank the second young grandmother for those injured soldiers However, the second young grandmother is generous and benevolent, but Her Royal Highness the princess will not let you suffer in vain, so let's do it, it just so happens that the grange sent some fresh fruits and vegetables, chickens, ducks and deer and other things, when the second young grandmother returns home later, please bring it."

In this way, Wang Qifang entered the princess's mansion empty-handed, and when she went out, she was followed by two carriages full of goods, one with baskets of vegetables and fruits, and the other with paws or hooves tied to living creatures. All I could hear along the way was the gurgling noise in the carriage covered with green cloth curtains.

The carriage slowly came to the new house, and Wang Qifang instructed the people to move everything to the warehouse and conservatory of the new house, and stuffed the two princesses' coachmen with a red seal of two coins of silver for each of them, and then sent them away.

"Second young grandmother, everything has gone into the warehouse, but what to do with these flat-haired beasts? The people haven't moved to the new house yet, and if they are put in the garden and there is no one to take care of them, they may not know where they will fly."

Shion commanded the craftsmen to move baskets of fruits and vegetables to the warehouse, but when it was the turn of those chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits, deer and other animals, he didn't know what to do with them, and asked with some embarrassment.

"Well, I'll send these animals to Zhuangzi first, after all, they are things rewarded by the third princess, and it's better to use them on the women's army."

Wang Qifang was noisy all the way by these things, and she also had a headache, so she thought about it and said.

"Okay, slave maid, let people do it."

Ziyuan promised to go out, but before he walked out of the second courtyard, he heard Wang Qifang say, "Wait...... In this way, let's go in person, those women's soldiers are going to arrive tomorrow, I have to go to Zhuangzi in advance to make arrangements. ”

In fact, the reason why Wang Qifang changed her mind was because an idea suddenly flashed in her mind - plants can keep the space balanced and upgraded, but what about animals?

Taking advantage of the fact that there were no outsiders around, Wang Qifang came to the pile of bound animals and took one of each animal into the space......

P: It's the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I wish you all a happy holiday
