Out of the gate of the mansion, Zhao Sichen's face was not very good-looking.

Just as he was about to get into the carriage, he stopped again and looked at Master Zhang.

Suddenly, Zhao Sichen solemnly made a big gift to Master Zhang.

Master Zhang was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Miss Zhao, what's wrong with you?" ”

Zhao Sichen directly took out a stack of silver tickets, and he didn't count how many, but stuffed them all into Master Zhang's hand: "Sir, the torture that Gan Qi is suffering in prison is much more severe than I imagined. Please sir be sure to help him......"

Master Zhang sighed, stuffed the silver ticket back into Zhao Sichen's hand, and said, "I've already done it up and down." Otherwise, I am afraid that the government will already commit suicide in fear of crime and end the matter. Now Gan Qizheng is working hard, but he still has a life. ”

Zhao Sichen didn't take the silver ticket, his face was gloomy, and he said: "Even if there is still a life left, I'm afraid it will be gone tonight!" ”

Master Zhang's face turned grim, and he said in a deep voice: "Miss Zhao, don't worry, I have been in the mansion for more than 20 years, and I still have a few brothers who know each other. Now I'm going to them right away. ”

I had to stuff the silver ticket back to Zhao Sichen: "Miss Zhao, you have already given it once before, you don't need so many ......"

Zhao Sichen put his hands behind his back and took a step back: "Mr. Lao runs errands, and I don't want you to pay." I don't have any other skills, but I still have a little silver tael. Sir, even though the flowers, not enough to tell me again. “

Master Zhang excused himself several times, but in the end he couldn't, so he could only accept it.

Master Zhang shook his head and said with emotion: "Miss Zhao, you are really good to your guys. “

"They are all brothers and sisters in their own family, so they naturally have to be taken care of."

Zhao Sichen and Master Zhang continued to discuss the matters to be dealt with the next day before leaving.

……

……

The next day, Zhao Sichen and Master Zhang came to the gate of the mansion early.

The people and idlers who have long had good deeds know that yesterday's astonishing murder will definitely have a follow-up today.

Therefore, they all waited at the gate early.

Even the clever hawkers carry small baskets and sell melon seeds and syrup for food.

Seeing Zhao Sichen and Master Zhang coming, the onlookers were in an uproar.

Yesterday, Master Zhang's righteousness and the earth-shattering reversal of the murder case left a deep impression on the people.

And Zhao Sichen is the proprietress of the most popular pastry shop and essential oil shop in Daqing City, and yesterday she was even more courageous, following the officials to see how to perform the autopsy......

The onlookers looked at Zhao Sichen's eyes, with more admiration and curiosity.

Zhao Sichen and Master Zhang, who had no intention of watching the onlookers, came to the gate of the government and asked the officials to report and ask Jingzhao Yin Shengtang to judge the case.

After a while, Master Liu beside Li Yuanbu hurriedly came.

Master Liu's beard is all white, and he looks quite stable.

may have stayed by Li Yuanbu's side for a long time, and he also looks full of authority.

Master Liu held a judgment book in his hand and said to the onlookers: "Don't gather here!" Qiao'er's murder case has been concluded......"

Zhao Sichen's face was awe-inspiring, and he glanced at Master Zhang.

The onlookers were also in an uproar.

The officials next to him reprimanded: "Quiet, quiet!" ”

Master Zhang hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Your Excellency, ......"

Master Liu glanced at Master Zhang, ignored him, and continued: "Yesterday, the witness Yu'er committed suicide in prison, leaving a suicide note, admitting that she deliberately killed the deceased Qiao'er because of jealousy. “

When Master Zhang heard this, he frowned: "Yu'er is a weak woman, her hand strength ......"

Zhao Sichen was silent and gently pulled Master Zhang's sleeve.

Although Master Zhang was upright, he also reacted immediately and stopped talking.

As if he hadn't heard Master Zhang's words, Master Liu continued: "After the incident, Yu'er felt remorseful, and it happened that Gan Qi, the errand boy of Zhao's pastry shop, was sending pastries to the door, so he had a plan to slander Gan Qizheng. ”

"Jing Zhaoyin judged that Gan Qi was imprisoned for wrongful treatment and was released on the spot. Since Yu'er has cut herself, she was brought back by the Lelin Marquis Mansion and buried by herself! ”

Everyone discussed: "It's actually the hand of a maid!" ”

"It seems that my good sister can't be relied on!"

"Do things together, compete for favor in front of the master together, don't guarantee this jealousy, it's already there."

"Such a vicious woman, staying is also a bane!"

Zhao Sichen was in a little trance.

Yesterday in the public court, the maid named Yu'er, although she acted for the tiger, but she was brave and articulate, and she must be very effective by the master's side.

As a result, once something happened, it was abandoned by the Lelin Marquis Mansion without hesitation......

The maid who can be by the side of Miss Lelin Hou's family is already a leader among the people in the house.

Outcome......

Whether it's Qiao'er or Yu'er......

Because of the master's thoughts, he lost his life.

Zhao Sichen's heart was very heavy.

Although Gan Qi is clearing his name and successfully released from prison......

The Zhao family's pastry shop continued to prosper in the future, and it made money every day.

However, those two girls who were like flowers and jade, just like this, lost their most precious lives in the best years.

Zhao Sichen sighed, saluted Master Liu and Master Zhang, and whispered to let Gan Qi be born at home, and then turned around and left.

……

……

As Zhao Sichen expected, the Zhao family's shop became the object of much discussion in Daqing City because of this case.

But because of this, the fame is even louder.

The business of the Zhao family's shop is good, and Xuan Fugui is so busy going in and out that he can't stop for a moment.

However, when I was busy, I added to the chaos.

The guys in the Zhao family's shop have things going on every now and then.

Or there was a dispute with the customer, and the pastry was lost and the money was matched.

Or they were hit by horses and cars on the road, and they were injured and had to be raised at home.

Or when it was delivered to the place, the customer refused to accept it, so he could only bring the pastry back and pour it out.

There are also many idlers and beggars who deliberately rush or snatch food boxes.

Zhao Sichen and Master Zhang also ran into the yamen every now and then.

Sometimes they win lawsuits.

In some cases, medical expenses may be subsidized.

It's messy, and it seems like there will never end to it.

Rao is an expert in management like Xuan Fugui, and he also feels tricky and doesn't know what to do.

came to ask Zhao Sichen, Zhao Sichen could only say: "Presumably, the Lelin Marquis Mansion is playing tricks on us."

Now that the Lelin Hou Mansion is sharp, we can only avoid its edge.

This kind of petty fight and patience, maybe after a while, it will stop. ”

"But ......"

Zhao Sichen looked at Xuan Fugui and said slowly: "Fortunately, the business of our shop has not been affected, but its reputation is booming, and the business is better." ”

Xuan Fugui wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I can only think like this, and my heart will feel better." ”

Zhao Sichen said softly: "Steward Xuan, I want to expand my business." ”

Xuan Fugui nodded and said, "Our shop business is so good now, I also want to buy a few more shops......

"No, I mean, I want to do business somewhere else."

As soon as Xuan Fugui heard Zhao Sichen's words, he immediately understood what she meant: "Indeed, in Jinling, Jiangnan and other places, people live a rich life, and they are not inferior to the Great Alluring City. ”

"Moreover, the things that people in Daqing City like, when they get there, they will definitely be very popular."

Zhao Sichen nodded and said softly: "It's not just Jinling, Jiangnan and other places. I also want to do business in the Northland, Liao, Wu......"

Listening to Zhao Sichen's words, the fat on Xuan Fugui's face trembled, obviously forcibly suppressing his excitement.

Zhao Sichen looked at Xuan Fugui and said with a smile: "Manager Xuan, your skills should not only be displayed in these two shops on West Street. You should go to more places and make the whole of Wei, Liao, and Wu...... The whole world has seen what you are capable of! ”

The more Xuan Fugui listened, the more excited he became, and he stood up suddenly: "Okay! Miss, if you have such an idea, it is my duty to declare wealth and wealth, and I will go all out! ”

Zhao Sichen said with a smile: "Steward Xuan, in the future, if we have a firm foothold in those places, we will do more business." Since we open a restaurant and need firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, then we will open a grain store! “

"Since we have an essential oil workshop, and the people who come are all the wives and ladies of each family, then we also have to sell clothes, rouge, jewelry, and everything that the ladies and ladies need!"

Steward Xuan was excited, and his mind was already spinning rapidly.

At present, among our two shops, there are 200,000 taels of silver, and leaving 50,000 taels to deal with the payment and urgent matters is enough.

In addition, there are 150,000 taels, which is enough for us to open a few more shops in Daqing City......"

Zhao Sichen shook his head: "Steward Xuan, you can't open a shop in Daqing City anymore." We've got to get out there and go somewhere else......"

When the Xuan manager heard this, he immediately understood what Zhao Sichen meant: "Are you worried about the ...... of the Lelin Marquis Mansion?"

"Yes, the Lelin Hou Mansion is in Daqing City, although it is not able to cover the sky with one hand, but it has great influence.

However, when you leave Daqing City, it may not be necessary......"

"Yes!" Xuan Fugui immediately figured out the joints: "The Lelin Marquis Mansion, it is because of the favor of Concubine Li that the relatives who have risen in just over ten years, and they have left Daqing City, so they don't have so much influence." “

"Yes," Zhao Sichen continued: "The Lelin Marquis Mansion is different from those who have been officials for generations, or three or four generations of marquises, and the background is not strong, but it is just that it is now in the limelight......

The Xuan manager stood up anxiously: "I'll go and deal with the new store now......"

Zhao Sichen also stood up and said, "Xuan Guanshi, you already have an idea?" “

Xuan Fugui nodded: "Miss, there is still half a year before the Spring Festival." Before the Chinese New Year, every household will buy some good things. If we want to open a new shop, we have to seize this good time! “

Zhao Sichen smiled: "You already have an idea?" ”

Xuan Fugui nodded and said, "I want to go to Jinling first." ”

"Jinling? Because it is close to Daqing City, it is also relatively wealthy? ”

"Yes," Xuan Fugui explained: "Not only that, the chief official of Jinling has a very good relationship with the Three Princes' Mansion, and when he goes to Jinling to do business, he has the chief official to take care of him, so he saves a lot of matters to deal with the yamen, and he is not afraid that someone will come to the door to find trouble!" ”

Zhao Sichen smiled: "No wonder you immediately thought of the place." “

Xuan Fugui said: "There is another reason - the Three Princes' Mansion is in Jinling, and there are also several shops......"

Zhao Sichen hurriedly frowned: "No, we have to do business, we can't take advantage of the three princes everywhere-"

Why avoid suspicion, they will all be their own family members in the future-

Xuan Fugui thought secretly in his heart, and didn't dare to say this sentence.

Xuan Fugui explained carefully: "The shops in Jinling are also leased out and collected for rent, and the income is not good. If we go over there, the business will definitely be much better than the current shop, and when the time comes, we will just pay more rent. “

Only then did Zhao Sichen agree: "The rent will rise by more than one percent, the three princes have already helped us a lot, don't take advantage of the three princes again." “

Xuan Fugui responded yes.

Zhao Sichen said again: "You take 300,000 taels of silver." “

"Three hundred thousand taels?!" Xuan Fugui took a breath of cool air.

"Yes, I'll take out all the money from Gan Qizheng and Sister Yunbi's side and give it to you......"

Xuan Fugui's expression suddenly became serious.

He thought for a few seconds, and suddenly bowed down and bowed to Zhao Sichen seriously.

Zhao Sichen was startled and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?" All of a sudden, so serious......"

It's not that greasy Xuan manager, Zhao Sichen suddenly felt a little unaccustomed.

Xuan Fugui's throat was choked with a hint: "Thank you, Miss, for entrusting me with your whole net worth - I will definitely live up to Miss's high expectations!" “

Zhao Sichen laughed: "Okay, then you have to make money - when you earn money, I will give you dividends!" ”
