102: This method is too inferior (2nd watch)
Master Shen didn't speak again after a long time, and the shopkeeper Shen on the side didn't dare to urge, so he could only wait patiently, but the hatred in his heart was getting higher and higher, and he had never been so embarrassed as today.
"Tell me which ones they want to work with?"
Hearing Master Shen speak again, Shopkeeper Shen hurriedly reported the names of those houses again, and finally said, "The old man of Taiming Tea House is the most interested, but although his family claims to be a century-old brand, it has developed far less than in the past few years, at least his so-called high-quality Pu'er tea does not sell as well as ours, so I want to cooperate with them to win back a city."
Master Shen sighed, thinking that Taiming Tea House was also infinitely beautiful, but after the death of the previous generation, it slowly went downhill, and these years it has also relied on the sixty-year-old man of Guo's shopkeeper to support him, thinking about it, it is quite embarrassing, but when it is time to make a move, he will never hesitate.
After all, who doesn't want to make their business bigger?
But when you go outside, you can't say it, if you don't have a few words of elegance, people will think that you are full of copper smell, hum, people live in the world, and if you don't have money, it is difficult to move an inch, and the emperor of the capital is the same.
Shopkeeper Shen looked at Master Shen's face, and knew in his heart that this distant uncle was not a good match, and he definitely wanted to take this opportunity to swallow the market, as long as he swallowed Taiming Tea House, then on Pu'er tea, their Mingxiang Tea House would be dominant, so that the bullshit tea brick could be damned.
"That woman surnamed Chang, do you find out what her relationship is with the Xie family?"
Hearing the owner ask this, the shopkeeper Shen hurriedly said, "It's the wife of the Ninth Master."
As soon as Xie Jiuye was mentioned, Master Shen frowned, he didn't want to provoke the other party, so he was a little hesitant, after all, it depends on the owner to beat the dog, and he really provoked this pawn wife, and when people blow the pillow wind, he is likely to eat and hang.
Shopkeeper Shen knew the concerns of the owner, "The owner, although the name of the ninth master is better than that of the eighth master, but he can't cover the sky with one hand, and if you really let that tea brick be made, we will not have a good time in the future.
Besides, there is also a Eighth Master Xie here, he leaned into Master Shen's ear and muttered a few words.
Master Shen still frowned, this method is too inferior, if he really uses it, his reputation for the elegance of the Shen family will be gone, this is not good, he is still counting on this reputation to marry his daughter well to pull him back.
Shopkeeper Shen knew that this proprietor was just sanctimonious, so he came up with another idea, "We don't need to make our own move, don't we have a dealer?" Today, his family made a big scandal in front of everyone, and the shopkeeper Chen was directly gagged out, and it is estimated that he can't swallow this breath whether it is the shopkeeper Chen or the banker."
This is using people as guns, hiding yourself behind the scenes?
Master Shen looked at this distant nephew meaningfully, this heart is black enough, thinking of how the dealer started, he also secretly guarded in his heart, and when this matter is over, he must find a reason to take this person away in the future, and he can no longer be kept as the big shopkeeper, otherwise he will be eaten up one day.
Shopkeeper Shen didn't know that he was self-defeating, and when he saw the owner looking at him, he still smiled vigorously.
Master Shen patted him on the shoulder, "That's a good idea, you can do it."
"Me?" Shopkeeper Shen pointed to his nose.
"You can just take the shopkeeper surnamed Chen and let him be a gun."
Shopkeeper Shen can think about it, anyway, he still has a little friendship with the other party, ask him out for a drink, take the opportunity to pout a few more words, he doesn't believe that the other party doesn't take the bait?
Lord Shen was tempted to see this distant nephew, so he said lightly, "Make an appointment with Master Zhuang, and say that I will find him for tea."
As soon as the shopkeeper Shen heard this, he knew that the owner was going to make a move, and immediately responded with joy, "I'll go."
Master Shen watched the shopkeeper Shen leave happily, and then closed his eyes and continued to shake in the rocking chair, but at this time his mind was far away.
The next day, Chang Xi had just gotten up and finished washing, and the little servant sent by Xie Ming was waiting outside.
Chang Xi heard the report,
Busy with the east fence to welcome people in.
As soon as the little guy saw Chang Xi, he immediately saluted, his master was doing things with Chang Xi now, and they didn't dare to snub Chang Xi, and besides, the main mother Bai also had a good relationship with Chang Xi, so they didn't dare to make a mistake.
"Chang Niangzi, Shopkeeper Guo has something urgent to find you, and now I am waiting for you at the Yuelai Inn, and the eighth master asked the little one to come back and report to you quickly."
Chang Xi was stunned, this is only a night, those people are moving so fast, it can be seen that she must have been busy with conspiracy last night and didn't sleep, but now time is money, and she doesn't want to waste it at all.
So, after changing into his clothes, he hurriedly went to Qin's courtyard to ask for instructions, and Qin didn't see her as soon as he got up, but came out with red sleeves and said that he knew.
Chang Xi pulled his red sleeves and asked in a low voice, "How is Madame feeling?"
Redsleeves was stunned for a moment, then quickly replied, "Okay."
Chang Xi nodded, in this way, the Qin family did not express dissatisfaction with her leaving the mansion early in the morning, which was good news for her.
Seeing that Chang Xi was about to leave, Red Sleeves hurriedly pulled Chang Xi's sleeve and stepped forward and said, "Miss Shi San promised me yesterday that the previous benefits would be given to me."
Chang Xi smiled when she heard this, "What she promised you, you will follow, as for the redemption, our agreement is not over yet, red-sleeved girl, what do you want?"
Red Sleeves was stunned for a moment, she just wanted to probe Chang Xi's tone, after all, it was not easy for her to let Shi Bichi loosen her mouth and continue to give benefits, but now that she was pinched by Chang Xi, the redemption could only be postponed, so she quickly pulled her cheek and smiled, "I'm just telling you."
"You continue to stay with Madame and wait, and Miss Shi San can't take you, so she says that you want to save more money for the dowry."
The income of the eldest girl in Shifu is not low in this era, and it is reasonable for the red sleeves to stay a little longer and save some monthly silver, anyway, her current age is still early to be pulled to match the little girl.
Red Sleeves nodded hurriedly, his heart had long regretted that his intestines were blue, and this troubled water should not have been waded in the first place.
After Chang Xi comforted the red sleeves, she hurriedly walked out, and when she met Xie Yujiao on the way, she only stopped to say hello for a few words, and she said goodbye and left.
Xie Yujiao looked at Chang Xi's hurried back, her eyebrows frowned, what are you doing in a hurry?
When she entered the inner room and saw her mother wearing a veil, she immediately stepped forward to help, and then talked about Chang Xi's affairs, "This is always not in the house, and it's not a thing, mother, don't you care about her?"
Qin Shi looked in the mirror and felt satisfied, so he motioned for his daughter to stop, turned around and looked at her and said, "What's there to care about?" So he told his daughter that Chang Xi was going to make a small living, and then said disapprerovingly, "Anyway, this Chang family has always been quite well-behaved, and I can turn a blind eye, at least this allows her to stay in Xie Mansion with peace of mind, but your brother is really not like talking, and he doesn't come to the backyard these days, and he doesn't know what he's busy with all day long?"
Xie Yujiao knew that her mother was just talking, in fact, she loved her brother Xie Jin more than anyone else, otherwise she would not be so tolerant of Chang's.
"What can she do on her own? Mother, it's very chaotic outside, and a woman's family will inevitably be slandered for doing this, isn't this damaging to the reputation of our Jiefu?" Xie Yujiao frowned.
The Qin family knew that her daughter was worried about gossip, so she frowned and said, "Your father and your brother know about this, and I can't say anything, besides, she is pitiful for such a husband's family, so let her save some money, and her life will be better after leaving the house in the future." After a pause, "Of course, when she gets pregnant in the future, you can't let her go like this anymore."
Anyway, at that time, Chang's small business is also on the track, she is the housewife, and naturally knows how to be a hands-off shopkeeper.
Xie Yujiao still frowned, helped her mother to eat, and wanted to say something more, but when she saw that her mother started to eat, she stopped talking.
The Qin family knew that her daughter was raised to be a little pedantic, and she was even more pedantic after marrying into the eldest sister-in-law's family, after all, the eldest aunt was a pedantic old pedant, and he didn't blame his daughter for becoming more and more conservative, "Don't trust your father-in-law in the future."
"Mother, my father-in-law's set is not wrong, if a woman is unruly, what is a woman?"
Qin Shi was the most impatient to listen to this, so he hurriedly diverted the topic, "This xiaolongbao is not bad, you can taste it."
Xie Yujiao could only keep her mouth shut helplessly, her mother has always been like this, and when she meets something she doesn't want to hear, she will divert her gaze, which makes people very helpless.
Chang Xi on the other side didn't know about the conversation between the mother and daughter, she had less contact with Xie Yujiao, so she had limited understanding, so she didn't know that she was almost brought back to the backyard by her in a few words, but fortunately, the Qin family was not a pedantic person.
When she hurried to the small courtyard of the rented Yuelai Inn, the shopkeeper Guo had been waiting for her for a long time, and when he saw her, he hurriedly got up to greet her, and said eagerly, "Chang Niangzi, you are finally here."
Chang Xi hurriedly stepped forward to greet the old man, "Shopkeeper Guo, sit down, let's talk slowly."
Shopkeeper Guo didn't rely on the old man anymore, but returned the salute before he sat down, "Chang Niangzi, things changed yesterday, Master Shen, the owner of Mingxiang Tea House, negotiated with the owners of several tea houses yesterday, and they reached an agreement to unanimously boycott the tea bricks, and the scale of the boycott will be expanded today, so if it continues, it may be difficult to realize your previous ideas."
This was expected by Chang Xi, not only was Master Shen busy with things yesterday, but she was not idle, and she deduced how they would act many times, and sure enough, she still chose to boycott this road, which was to force her to conform and sell technology obediently.
Before she could speak, Xie Ming hurriedly walked in, glanced at the shopkeeper Guo, and took back the words that came to her mouth.
Seeing this, Chang Xi gestured, "Shopkeeper Guo is not an outsider, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
Anyway, if you can't hide things, then there's no need to hide them.
