Chapter 15 Straighten out the family business
After sending the uncle to the gate of Mi's mansion, the carriage drove towards another street without stopping.
As the carriage stopped at the door of a shop, Mi Xia Yao was helped out of the carriage by Song Qiao.
This shop is the same as the few poor shops that Song Qiao mentioned yesterday.
The shopkeeper in the store heard the movement, hurriedly ran out, and when he saw the familiar person, he looked panicked, and hurriedly said, "Girl, is there anything you need to prepare?" ”
Mi Xia Yao looked around the shop.
This shop was originally a fabric shop, but later due to poor management and too much hoarded fabrics, the shopkeeper changed the surplus fabrics into ready-to-wear clothes without authorization.
The garment is not well received in Daqi, so naturally the shop gradually began to decline.
It is the same as the ready-to-wear store that Mi Xia Yao saw in Jinzhou City, there are very few clothes on the shelves, if you don't deliberately walk in, you don't know what is sold here.
The location of the shop is the most conspicuous location on the street.
She asked for a few ready-to-wear clothes and took them out to look at them, even though they were the shopkeeper's best-looking ready-to-wear.
But just by the feeling of touching her hands, Mi Xia Yao felt that these ready-to-wear clothes couldn't keep out the cold in such a cold winter.
Not to mention, in the big world of flowers in the capital, such a simple ready-to-wear is not competitive at all.
"These clothes are too thin to sell in the cold winter, and the long sleeves are too hot in the summer, and they can't be sold for so long in stock, don't want to think about the reason?"
Mi Xia Yao frowned and looked at the few clothes on the shelf, and couldn't help but babble at the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper knew that he was at a loss, and he wanted to bear it so hard, but when he heard the last sentence, he had to take responsibility.
He immediately opened his mouth and retorted: "These ready-to-wear clothes were not my idea originally, they were said by Mi Erye...... He said that instead of rotting in the warehouse, these fabrics should be made into ready-to-wear clothes, and we didn't dare to offend the second master, so we changed these fabrics into ready-to-wear clothes at the will of the second master and hung them out. ”
The shopkeeper's explanation, put in Mi Xia Yao's ears, is undoubtedly a pale explanation.
She looked at the shopkeeper with cold eyes.
is obviously just a little girl in her early twenties, but she has a majestic posture around her.
The shopkeeper's voice became smaller and smaller, "After the clothes were changed, Second Master Mi took away several pieces of ......."
When Mi Xia Yao heard this, she laughed angrily, "The second uncle took it away, and it wasn't recorded?" ”
"This ...... Where do you dare. The shopkeeper shrank his head.
Mi Xia Yao's expression changed slightly, "Where do you dare?" Because the store lost so many good fabrics, the ready-to-wear that was left behind, he took a few pieces of inventory behind him and didn't care if he lived or died?! You're also a businessman, don't you understand this point? ”
She threw the ready-to-wear in her hand back on the shelf, and the shopkeeper didn't even dare to raise her head for a moment.
The angry atmosphere rose a little to the freezing point, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was frozen here.
The feeling of suffocation stayed at the top of the shopkeeper's head, and the shopkeeper's mind was spinning quickly to think about how to please this girl master who was not good at talking.
Mi Xia Yao turned her head to Song Qiao and said, "Go through the process, there is nothing left in this shop, remove the plaque hanging outside." ”
The shop is obviously rotten into the bones, and even if it is rectified, it will not be able to change anything.
When the shopkeeper heard this, he looked at the girl master in front of him with a panicked expression.
"I've been taking care of the shop for a while, and I won't treat you badly without merit and hard work."
Mi Xia Yao patted the other party's shoulder, and then said to Song Qiao beside him: "Go buy some bark, parchment paper and stuff them into your clothes, thicken these long-sleeved clothes, and make a batch of thicker clothes to keep in store." ”
When the shopkeeper heard that he had lost his job, he immediately sat on the floor of the store with a gray face, and Song Qiao moved neatly, walked directly to the back of the store and found the warehouse to start taking inventory.
——
The snow is getting heavier and heavier in the cold winter, and while Mi Xia Yao is rectifying the shop during this time, she also takes the opportunity to sell the dowry, convert it into silver taels, and then send it to prison to be tied.
She tried to visit her grandfather inside the prison, but the prison warden inside couldn't get to her, let alone pay for it.
But after coming to the capital for so many days, I have never been able to find a breakthrough.
As a last resort, Mi Xia Yao returned to Mi Mansion's house, wanting to discuss with those uncles to see if there were any other countermeasures.
Just as she stepped into the courtyard of the Mi Mansion, she saw many people running around with coils in their arms, and the scene was chaotic for a while.
Being able to see this kind of scene inside the Mi family, Mi Xia Yao was stunned for a moment, and quickly deduced what was expected to happen in her heart.
In the previous life, it was precisely because of after the grandfather was imprisoned that the Mi family lost their backbone, and they met people like Li Fu everywhere who looked at their embarrassing jokes.
Gradually, the Mi family scattered like a plate of loose sand, and soon dispersed after blowing.
estimated the time, and after this juncture, it should be the Mi family's breakup turmoil.
She walked quickly to the main hall, and sure enough, she saw those uncles, each holding a piece of black and white with different divisions of property.
"I have given the most to this family! The public accounts are uneven, not all of them depend on me to settle it, and now that the family is divided, I should share a little more! ”
Mi Er Ye pulled his throat, obviously he had a quarrel, and he blushed and began to fight for his privileges.
The eldest uncle sat in the center, looking at these sibling quarrels with a tired face.
Mi Lao Si pulled Mi Erye and said to the eldest uncle: "Persuade the second brother!" Dad definitely didn't want our family to break up like this. ”
The scene was chaotic for a while, and when Mi Xia Yao stepped into the house, Mi Erye was about to start arguing with the fourth child who persuaded him.
"What a noise! In front of the juniors, you are not ashamed! ”
When the uncle looked up tiredly, he saw Mi Xia Yao walking towards him, and immediately scolded.
The authority of the eldest brother is still there, and the two uncles who are scuffling together have stopped.
It's just that when Mi Erye saw that the person who came was Mi Xia Yao, his face still didn't improve, and he even said sadly, "The third family is not short of money, and at this time, let this daughter come over, isn't it just to borrow her eyes to see our jokes." ”
"Enough is enough, dick!" When the uncle heard this, he scolded again.
Mi Xia Yao glanced at the second uncle.
The few shops left by her family in the capital can survive to the way they are today, and they are all inseparable from Second Uncle Mi.
Now he has turned against her, and he doesn't look like he's short-handed.
can have such an uncle who exists like a white-eyed wolf, Mi Xia Yao is accustomed to passing each other.
Now is not the time to clean up this second uncle.
