Chapter 101 - Shop Inspection (2)
The middle-aged shopkeeper in a gray robe was shocked by Mother Liu's reprimand, and after standing still, he looked carefully, and suddenly his face changed, and a flattering smile was piled on his face, and he bowed and said, "It turned out to be Mother Liu, why are you here!" As he spoke, he raised his leg and kicked the young man who was rubbing his ears next to him and said, "I'm blind, this is the owner's mother Liu!" ”
After the young man who was still grinning was kicked, his originally indignant eyes also changed, and he immediately nodded and said, "Little clumsy!" Little damn it! Mother Liu, you don't remember the villain! ”
Mother Liu didn't even glance at him, squinted her eyes slightly and looked at the shopkeeper in front of her and said, "Zhang Wen, go into the back room and talk!" ”
The shopkeeper named Zhang Wen nodded hurriedly, turned to the young man and ordered, "Hurry up and make a pot of tea!" Then give me a good co-ordination! Look at the mess! ”
The young man said yes again and again, and the middle-aged man bent down to give a courtesy to Liu's mother first.
Mother Liu snorted, turned to Luo Qingqian and Leng Moxin, who had been watching coldly, and said, "Miss, girl, let's go in!" ”
Zhang Wen actually saw a few people behind Liu's mother, but although Luo Qingqian was accompanied by a maid, in order to avoid trouble, he went out today with a veil and couldn't see his face clearly. And Leng Moxin is dressed in red, but there is no one waiting beside him, and he has a three-point chivalrous spirit, which is not like an ordinary boudoir daughter.
So Zhang Wen thought it was an ordinary guest and didn't care much about a few people.
And when I heard Liu's mother's words at this time, I suddenly became curious. But before he had time to take a closer look, Liu's mother had already signaled him to lead the way, he hurriedly lowered his head and didn't dare to say more, and led a few people into the inner room.
This store is actually not small, Luo Qingqian entered the inner room and found that it was a large storage room, stacked with a few boxes, a layer of dust was visible to the naked eye on the boxes, and no one cleaned it for a long time.
Turning a small corner, it is the inner hall, which is very comfortably furnished. A full set of rattan tables and chairs, and a bed. A large blue and white porcelain vase with a height of one person stands in the corner of the wall, and there is a picture of a beauty hanging on the wall.
The desk looks full of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, but the scattered ledgers on the table make people look very uncomfortable.
Luo Qingqian's brows have been furrowed since she entered the room, she saw that the shopkeeper named Zhang Wen was nervously putting away the account book on the desk, and said with a dry smile: "It's too messy here, Mother Liu shouldn't be weird." ”
He didn't know who these two girls were, but when he saw Liu's mother's respectful appearance, he didn't dare to call them casually. I could only greet Liu's mother while peeking at it.
Liu's mother is actually not particularly familiar with this Zhang Wen shopkeeper, because after the old shopkeeper resigned from his poor health, You introduced Zhang Wen to be the shopkeeper for them.
And after that, Liu's mother almost took care of Guo and others at home, and she didn't come to the shop in the past two years, and Zhang Wen sent the account books and income to Luofu on time and on time on weekdays, and although the business of the silk shop in the past two years was not too good, it was not too bad, and it was okay to support part of their daily expenses in the four rooms. Therefore, Guo and Liu's mother hardly doubted Zhang Wen's ability, after all, they did not know what the current economic situation of the dynasty was. And today, when she saw the sobriety of this shop, Liu's mother felt that her whole person was not good. Is this still the best silk shop on the street when the old shopkeeper was there?
So Liu's mother's face has not been very good. Seeing Zhang Wenzheng looking at her inquiringly, she snorted coldly: "I haven't seen the second miss and Miss Leng yet!" ”
Second Miss? The Luo family's second Miss Luo, who used to be a fool?
Zhang Wen looked at Luo Qingqian, who was sitting quietly on a wicker chair, with some surprise. This is the first time he has seen this second lady of the Luo family, who has changed from a fool to a normal person. At this moment, she sat quietly, her jet-black hair combed in a simple noble girl's bun, clean and refreshing without a trace of burden, only two white silk flowers were dotted behind the bun. His face was covered with a light veil, and he couldn't see his face clearly, but a pair of shining eyes looked at him quietly, as if he could see the depths of his heart, which made him tremble slightly, and he didn't dare to look at him.
Why did this Miss Luo Er come to the shop suddenly? There is also Liu's mother, who has always been the one who sent the account books before, and the four-room family has not been here for almost two years.
Before he had time to think about it, Zhang Wen dropped the account book in his hand, walked over and bowed to Luo Qing and said, "Meet Second Miss, I've seen Miss Leng." Although he didn't know who this cold girl was, if she could appear with Luo Qingqian, she should be a friend of the Luo family, and giving gifts was a must.
Luo Qingqian looked at him and said lightly: "Shopkeeper Zhang, right?" How long have you been here? ”
Zhang Wen hurriedly said: "Second Miss Hui, I've been in the store for two years!" ”
"Two years?" Luo Qingqian nodded and said, "Then you are very familiar with the things in the store?" ”
Zhang Wen said with a smile: "Yes, Second Miss." I'm almost always the one who handles everything big and small in this shop. I was dealing with some accounts just now, so I ignored the things in the front hall, and I also hoped that the second lady and Liu's mother would have a lot. Zhang Wen was secretly relieved in his heart, thinking that it was really this eldest lady who was too bored at home to go shopping, and came to the store on a whim. After a good explanation of what happened just now, you should be able to fool the past.
"In that case," Luo Qingqian said again, "Then let's briefly talk about the business situation in the past two months!" ”
Zhang Wen was stunned and didn't speak, Luo Qingqian pointed to the door again and said, "Let's talk about what is in those boxes first?" ”
Zhang Wen looked in the direction of Luo Qingqian's point, and saw that she was asking about the boxes in the warehouse, so he said, "Second Miss Hui, that is a batch of brocade that was hoarded a year ago." ”
Years ago? Damask?
Luo Qing frowned, and even Leng Moxin on the side couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Even if she, a person who doesn't understand any business, feels that something is wrong, it has been more than half a year since she stocked up on the goods, and the brocade can only be used in winter, and there is so much left, basically she can't make a move in her hand!
Zhang Wen saw that Luo Qingqian and the others had a bad face, and hurriedly said: "Second Miss don't worry, this batch of brocade will not be pressed in her hands!" ”
Luo Qingqian's brows did not stretch when she heard this, and said, "Tell me the reason." ”
Zhang Wen said with a smile: "Second Miss doesn't know, Young Master Mu will come to our store every year to order a large number of brocade or silk, and basically our remaining goods Young Master Mu will order away." ”
"Are you talking about Young Master Mu Yubin?" Luo Qing's shallow eyes flashed.
Zhang Wen nodded again and again: "Young Master Mu said that he had been cooperating with our silk village before. ”
Luo Qingqian turned her head to look at Liu's mother, but Liu's mother shook her head suspiciously, indicating that she didn't know about it.
Luo Qingqian nodded and said, "Okay, then you can bring me the account books for these two months!" ”
Zhang Wen hesitated, but still turned to the desk, flipped through a pile of account books, and only after a while did he pull out two account books from a pile of messy account books, and respectfully handed them to Luo Qingqian.
Just as he was about to speak, the young man in the outer room suddenly called out loudly: "Shopkeeper, a guest is coming!" ”
Of course, Zhang Wen didn't want to leave Luo Qingqian behind, so he frowned and turned around and shouted, "You say hello!" ”
Unexpectedly, the young man actually ran in, and said excitedly: "The shopkeeper, there is a big customer, and he wants a lot of silk." ”
Zhang Wen frowned. It's hard to open this store on weekdays, but today it will be a big customer? He looked at Luo Qingqian, Luo Qingqian put down the account book he had just opened, looked at him and said, "You go get busy first." After speaking, he said to Liu's mother: "Liu's mother, follow the shopkeeper Zhang to the front to see what the situation is!" ”
