Jingchun Hall is a teahouse opened by the Mu family, and the shopkeeper recognizes the eldest lady and leads her to the largest private room, Mei Xiangyuan.

Mu Yunge was not in a hurry to enter the private room, and motioned to the family to go to the private room next to him to sit, not to make any sound, and wait for his orders. She herself took the two girls and Steward Xu into Meixiangyuan.

The shopkeepers had been waiting here for a long time, and when they saw their family members coming in, they all stood up to greet them.

Mu Yunge smiled in return, and secretly observed the expressions of these shopkeepers as he walked. The Mu family has always been in charge of Mu Zhizhao, although she is a concubine, but she has a younger brother, she can't inherit the family business in love and reason, and naturally she rarely follows Mu Zhizhao out to deal with these shopkeepers, this is the first time I have seen them.

The attitude of most of the shopkeepers was quite respectful, and only the three of them waited until Mu Yunge walked up to them before they got up leisurely.

The seats of the three of them were the most advanced, and they were under Mu Yunge.

Steward Xu led Mu Yunge to the main seat, and when he helped her sit down, he took the opportunity to whisper in her ear: "The first one on the left hand side is the shopkeeper Xiao in the branch of the Mu family's compound, the one next to him is the shopkeeper Liu, and the one with a smile on the opposite side of the two is the shopkeeper Wang." ”

Mu Yunge smiled generously and decently, sat on the main seat, and looked at the next shopkeepers quietly.

Shopkeeper Xiao was around fifty, wearing a gray-washed muslin robe, brushing his beard, while talking to the shopkeeper Liu beside him, and he didn't take himself as a young lady in his eyes at all. Shopkeeper Liu is the same age as him, he has no beard, although his white face is smiling, he can't hide the panic in his eyes, and he doesn't say a word, looking absent-minded. Shopkeeper Wang kept looking at the two of them, and his eyes fell on Mu Yunge from time to time, as if he was thinking about his position.

Seeing this, Mu Yunge remembered Steward Xu's words in his heart, and knew that this Wang shopkeeper was a wall grass, and sure enough, he smiled slightly, skipped him directly, and raised his spirit to deal with Shopkeeper Xiao and Shopkeeper Liu.

"Everyone is Yun Ge's uncle and uncle, although Yun Ge is half the owner of the Mu family's shop, he doesn't dare to be arrogant, please sit down." All the considerations were completed in a moment, and after Mu Yunge sat down, he smiled softly, and raised his hands to signal everyone to sit down as a sign of respect.

Seeing that she had an extraordinary bearing and respect for herself, and that she had a sense of pride and satisfaction in her heart, they thanked her and sat down in her place.

As soon as they sat down, they all exchanged their heads and praised Mu Yunge in a low voice: "I didn't expect that Master Mu's eldest lady would have such a demeanor, if it is really a strong general, there are no weak soldiers under him, and both father and daughter have an average demeanor!" ”

Shopkeeper Xiao and Shopkeeper Liu relied on their strong backgrounds, and they didn't thank them, and sat on the stool.

After he sat down, he immediately spoke first: "The eldest lady said this well, and the brothers are comfortable listening to it, but speaking of which, I haven't seen Master Mu for a few days, but a few days ago, I heard that Master Mu was ill and handed over the shop to the eldest lady to manage, and I don't know if it's true or not?" There are rumors outside, saying that the eldest lady is the current head of the Mu family, and the old man and the little young master don't count, have you heard about it? ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the shopkeeper Liu beside him.

Shopkeeper Liu echoed when he heard this: "Exactly." ”

In fact, just looking at the face, the shopkeeper Xiao looks quite loyal and honest, but this loyalty and honesty is too much, revealing a kind of hypocrisy and hatefulness.

Mu Yunge listened to his rude question, smiled slightly, did not answer, and glanced sideways at Manager Xu.

Steward Xu stood up to him, snorted heavily in his nose, and scolded: "Shopkeeper Xiao, Master Mu's health is very good, and there is no problem. The lord dotes on the young lady and hands over some of the shops to the young lady to take care of, why do you have so much to say? ”

"I'm afraid that someone will be confused, and the chicken will be in the morning!" Shopkeeper Xiao took a sip and looked at Mu Yunge with a smile.

Steward Xu has followed Mu Zhizhao to take charge of the shop for many years, and his position often represents Mu Zhizhao's attitude.

Steward Xu raised the seal in his hand, spoke out categorically, and immediately calmed the scene: "The master's seal is here, the eldest lady is in charge of the shop, and the personnel and management power are all under the dispatch of the young lady, if there is any objection, you can stand up now, return the seal, and pack up and leave!" ”

His attitude was cold and hard, and all the shopkeepers in the private room stopped talking, and they all took their eyes back from Mu Yunge and listened to him intently.

Steward Xu continued: "The eldest lady is a woman, and she has already taken the risk of showing up to see everyone, so I will allow someone to do it for you today." The meaning of the eldest lady, Xu someone has already conveyed it when he invited the shopkeepers, first, everyone will meet to enhance their feelings, and second, what about it...... Some of the accounts are not clear, so let's talk about it in person! ”

When his voice fell, the faces of several shopkeepers changed, and a few of them couldn't help rubbing their hands, looking at Shopkeeper Xiao and Shopkeeper Liu.

Steward Xu also looked at Shopkeeper Liu, and according to Mu Yunge's instructions, he ordered him first: "Let's not talk nonsense, after we finish the business, there is time to talk about homely." Shopkeeper Liu, what are you still doing in a daze? Old rules, you come first! ”

"What's coming?" Shopkeeper Liu put down the teacup heavily, "The head of the Mu family said that they would change it, and this and that for a while, it made the guys in my shop wonder who is the master." Okay, now you Xu Steward said that who is who, the first time you met someone, there was no explanation, and you came up and shouted for the account book. You always know that I am the owner of the jade boat, and I am busy polishing and polishing these dirty things on weekdays, and I don't have the spare time to pick up a pen and write, so I am here to drink tea today. Want a ledger? I'm sorry, no! ”

What a big one!

Mu Yunge said in his heart, but he breathed a sigh of relief.

Steward Xu was the first to take the knife from Shopkeeper Liu, although he was the head of the Yufang branch, but I was afraid that it was still for the sake of his alliance with Shopkeeper Xiao, and he wanted to test their attitude today. Listening to the tone of these words, there are complaints and arrogance, and things are easy to solve.

As soon as Shopkeeper Liu said this, some people looked at each other and shook their heads secretly, while some people treated it indifferently, neither expressing their approval nor clear opposition, with the mentality of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight.

Steward Xu only didn't understand his words, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Liu, the business in your shop is not rising, and the temper is upside down, and the bamboo is blooming and growing, and the land is growing?" ”

"If the bamboo doesn't bloom, I don't have to worry about it." Shopkeeper Liu said leisurely: "Anyway, I'll put it here, the owner of this Mu family's shop has changed back and forth, and there is no qualitative one, and the guys can't bear it." You are old and pitiful, we are old and young, give us a stable meal, so that everyone can find a way to live. ”

The shopkeepers of several Jade Boat branches led by him all nodded and echoed: "The owner of this shop has been changed back and forth, and the distinguished customers still think that something has changed, and they are slowly not coming, how can we maintain it?" ”

"That is, in the past, the jade boat opposite always grabbed business with us, but now that we know that we are in a depression, it is even more blatant, and everyone is pulled into our shop!"

"Shut up!" Steward Xu was also angry, and suppressed the commotion below: "Don't make excuses for me there, why don't other shops have any problems?" ”

Shopkeeper Liu snorted: "That's someone who eats inside and out, and wants to tie up with the new master." ”

At this point, his truest thoughts were exposed, he was resentful of the Mu family for taking away the shops in the Mu family's compound, and he was determined to drag these shops to the point where there was no way out.

Steward Xu had already thought of his words, and was about to open his mouth, when Mu Yunge suddenly pulled him and pulled him back two steps.

Steward Xu knew that she had ideas, so he didn't say much, and retreated to Peiying's side to stand up.

Mu Yunge smiled slightly: "If I'm not mistaken, Shopkeeper Liu has been working in the Mu Family Yufang for thirty-five years, right?" The shopkeeper Liu was originally the apprentice of the patriarch of the Mu family compound, Mu Qing, and later after the Mu family compound made a fortune, the old lady Mu handed over the jade boat to you, I think you are thinking of the friendship between master and apprentice, and you are dissatisfied with the Mu family taking over the business of the old lady Mu, I can also understand it. She changed her voice and said: "However, then again, the business of the Mu family compound is declining, and if the Mu family does not take over, other merchants will be willing to take it." Think about it carefully, the Mu family remembered the kinship and took over the business of the Mu family's compound, but they didn't treat you badly, if it fell into the hands of someone else, it is unknown whether you still have this treatment! ”

She was right, and everyone nodded secretly and admitted her words.

Shopkeeper Liu's stiffness was on the spot, and he also understood the trick, but he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.

Mu Yunge smiled again: "I called you here today, so I naturally have other plans." Just now, Shopkeeper Lu said that the business of the jade boat opposite had been grabbed in the store, so he was naturally holding his breath. I have thought about it carefully, and the shops of the shopkeepers here have been set up for more than ten years, but now the times have changed, and the city of Jinling has changed and changed, and many areas have been sparsely populated. I plan to set up a new batch of shops, choose in the prosperous area, all the shopkeepers go to see by themselves, take a fancy to the report to the manager, find a day to move over. ”

There was another commotion, and the shopkeeper Lu, who was named, stood up excitedly: "Miss, you mean that we can all relocate the store?" ”

"Miss, but in this way, the foundation we originally laid is gone! If Master Mu asked...... "Some people hesitated."

Mu Yunge glanced at them confidently, and said proudly: "Since I dare to let you do it, naturally I have already calculated everything, if something happens, I will naturally bear it, what are you afraid of?" ”

"Yes!" The grin of the shopkeeper Lu blossomed: "With the words of the eldest lady, the surname Lu is relieved!" Don't hide it from the eldest lady, Lao Lu has been staying in one chassis for so many years, and he has long been bored! Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people in that place on the west side of the city, my heart was cold. There is a shop on the street of Sifang Street that is taking inventory, it belongs to me, don't rob it from me! ”
