In less than a month, Yunshuifang has changed from a precarious workshop to a big cloth shop that is making money every day.

The career aspect is thriving, and the emotional aspect is gradually heating up.

Shen Wenjun's hints became more and more obvious, she would open the futon from time to time in the middle of the night, intentionally or unintentionally revealing her outstanding demeanor, but whenever Song Che responded to the call, as soon as she touched it, she shrank like a mimosa.

I want it but don't dare to ask for it, and I can't get it when I see it.

After trying a few times, Song Che simply gave up, anyway, there were no safety measures in ancient times, what if he really performed the gift of Zhou Gong and became pregnant? He has no plans to be a father now.

At the beginning of April, the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce was about to be held.

It is reported that the Chamber of Commerce was held for seven days, and the major wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan gathered together for trade cooperation, eradicating bandits, dredging logistics, raising donations for disaster relief, and so on.

From Suzhou to Yangzhou, it takes half a day by land, so Suzhou businessmen have to go in advance.

On the night of the first day of the new year, Shen Wenjun packed up his clothes at home, while Song Che compiled a weekly diary in the study, after all, he had to leave for so long, and the indicators in the market could not decline.

"Squeak—"

The door was gently pushed open, and Shen Wenjun walked in with a set of clothes: "This is a gold silk brocade robe that I sewed by myself, you can quickly change it and try it to see if it fits." ”

"The golden silk robe? Don't you want to be so rich. Song Che put down the pen and stepped forward to take the clothes, it was indeed bordered with gold wire, embellished with white clouds, and this one would cost a hundred taels of silver. He took care of himself.

"Alas, in fact, I also want to be humble, but my father said, this is your first time participating in the Chamber of Commerce, you must dress decently, so that I can earn some face for my Shen family," Shen Wenjun said, came to the desk, picked up the booklet and observed it for a moment, and said curiously:

"Weekly Performance Chart...... What is this? ”

Song Che said, "Aren't we going to leave for seven days? There is no boss to watch, and employees are easy to mess up, so I formulated sales performance, mainly for a few managers. ”

"This is what you say, if you don't achieve performance, you have to deduct money?"

"The threshold I set is very low, and if it can't be reached, the money should be deducted. The rewards and punishments are clear, and there will be motivation when there is pressure. ”

Song Che put on a cloud robe and stood in front of the mirror, arrogant, handsome and upright, so handsome.

"Look at you, your collar is crooked." Shen Wenjun came over and began to help him sort out his neckline, so careful, so gentle, she became more and more like a wife.

"Madam, how is Yangzhou better than Suzhou?" Song Che asked suddenly.

Shen Wenjun said: "It's bigger than Suzhou, there are more people than Suzhou, and it's richer than Suzhou." ”

Song Che smiled: "Hey, this is good, let's pull two cars of private houses to sell tomorrow, it will definitely sell well." ”

Shen Wenjun said: "We are going to the meeting this time, not to sell goods, not to mention that the Chamber of Commerce has other activities that we need to do." ”

"Oh? What is it? Song Che was curious.

Shen Wenjun said: "Usually, the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce is divided into two trips, the first journey is for big owners like our father to gather together to exchange and learn; The second journey is that young owners like us compete with each other;

To put it in layman's terms, the chamber of commerce will set up a business-centered examination question, let their respective young owners select projects, and within seven days, with their own means to sell, whoever earns more will be the winner;

The first place will receive a bonus of 10,000 taels, the second place will be 5,000 taels, the third place will be 2,000 taels, and the projects in the hands of the top three winners will be vigorously promoted by the Chamber of Commerce;

The purpose of this activity is also obvious, that is, to cultivate young blood, after all, we are wealthy businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River, but we are leading the country, and we can't break off at our level. ”

I can only say that it is very good!

Song Che smiled: "In this way, the 10,000 taels of bonus is not something in my Song Che's pocket?" ”

Shen Wenjun shook his head: "Where is it as simple as you think, the first place over the years has been obtained by the Yang family, you have to be really ambitious, and it is more realistic to compete for two and three." ”

Song Che rubbed his nose: "A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, feng shui takes turns, why can't the champion be changed?" ”

"Do you want to compete with the Yang family for the first place? It's an exaggeration, but it's harder than it gets. ”

"What about the Yang family?"

"The Yang family is the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is also an imperial businessman who does business with the imperial court, Yang Wanfu, the head of the Yang family, is the president of the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce, and his son Yang Song is known as 'a rare business genius in a century'."

"Snort...... That's because you didn't meet me. ”

"You are less frivolous, even if people don't do anything, just by virtue of your prestige in the business world, there will be countless people to cheer for you, you are a guest foreigner, what do you compare with other rich people?"

Shen Wenjun said again: "Take another 10,000 steps back, even if you go through the sky and beat Yang Song, then you have to give up the first place, this is called human sophistication." ”

Song Che squinted his eyes and smiled without saying a word. To be honest, he hates the words "sophisticated" from the bottom of his heart.

Some people always regard flattery, overpowering the superior and inferior, and calling it "human sophistication", which is in fact cowardice and inferiority.

Relying on one's own ability, why should you give away the things that you have won openly?

……

The next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, the old man urged him to get up.

After a simple breakfast, we began to load the salute into the car.

Song Che took advantage of his leisure time to go to the utility room, after all, he was out of the house, and the world was so chaotic, for the sake of insurance, self-defense electric batons, painkiller tablets, and disinfectant alcohol were all small things, and it was easy to carry them in his sleeve.

"Boss, why don't you go to the Shunfeng Dart Bureau to hire a few bodyguards? It's a mess out there. ”

The mother-in-law and the servants saw each other off at the door, and the women who took care of the family were always worried about the men who left home.

The old man waved his hand and said, "From Suzhou to Yangzhou, take the official road by land, there will be no bandits, besides, isn't the second child still in Yangzhou?" ”

The mother-in-law made a straight face: "Your bereaved brother, don't have too much contact with him." ”

"Brother's blood is thicker than water, what do women know?"

"Mother, let's go."

"Wenjun, be careful all the way, be safe!"

After saying goodbye to their mother-in-law, the three of them stepped into the carriage and drove outside Suzhou.

After leaving the city, the coachmen had to drive the carriage as fast as they could, fearing that the slightest pause would cause refugees to rush up.

"Dad, has my sister-in-law had a letter recently?" Shen Wenjun looked out the window and suddenly asked.

Shen Tian said: "Bandits are so rampant that even the official family dares to cut off the beard, your sister-in-law is in Chang'an, the road is far away, and even if there is a letter, it will not be able to send it to Jiangnan,"

He sighed lightly: "The momentum of the Hu people is surging, and Liangzhou was lost a month ago, and if this situation continues, Yongzhou and Chang'an are afraid that they will also be in danger." ”

Shen Wenjun was indignant: "But that's the case, the emperor is still choosing a show girl in Jiangnan, so obscene and extravagant and mediocre, he can't die in the country——"

"Wenjun!" Shen Tian scolded: "When you go out, you even forget your virtue?!" ”

"I ......" Shen Wenjun looked out the window at the misery, and sighed sadly: "Without a country, how can there be a home, without a home, where is there a business?" If there was a peerless warrior who could save the decline of the beam, how great would it be?"

In today's world, there are too few women like her who show up like her and worry about the country and the people.

What has changed in troubled times?

From Suzhou to Yangzhou, all the way is an official road, along the way post posts are all over the place, unimpeded, no banditry.

Evening Eve.

The carriage staggered into Yangzhou and stopped in front of an inn called "Fuman".

"Big brother, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come here unharmed!" A middle-aged fat man with a fat body and half a mold printed by Shen Tian led this young man who was more than six feet old to greet him.

When Song Che brought a box of brocade from the carriage and gave it to the father and son, their faces were almost full of laughter, and they said verbally: "Big brother, you are really, your own family is still so polite." "I had a vague hand.

Shen Tian is the eldest in the family and inherits the family business, Shen Tong is the second, and he has a few shops in Yangzhou City, and he lives by inns and rent; Shen E is the youngest daughter, married in Chang'an City, and is also in the textile business.

The young man Han is Shen Tong's son, called Shen Fang, although he is the son of the second room, he is three years older than Shen Wenjun in the big room. In terms of seniority, Song Che still has to call him uncle.

According to Shen Wenjun in the carriage, Shen Tong's father and son were full of cheats, and they lost money every year in business, and at the end of the year, they borrowed money from Shen Tian, tens of thousands of taels, and never paid it back.

The old man still has the sentence "blood is thicker than water and bigger than the sky", so he turned a blind eye.

"This is my son-in-law, named Song Che...... Song Che, this is your second uncle and uncle, call someone quickly. Shen Tian pulled the two sides to introduce each other.

"Second uncle is good, uncle is good."

"Shhh...... What a talented nephew, I don't know which family's son? Shen Tong asked first.

Shen Tian's face was colorless, and he was a little embarrassed.

Song Che said generously: "Second uncle, the little nephew was born in a poor family, not the son of a family, thanks to the generosity of his father-in-law, he is not humble, and he is a son-in-law." ”

Shen Tian stroked his beard and was quietly satisfied.

"It turned out to be ...... Son-in-law! Shen Tong was still laughing, but it was a little more far-fetched.

"Dad, the uncle's family is tired of traveling, hurry up and wash the dust for them, right?"

"I'm so happy that I almost forgot, big brother, niece, nephew, hurry up and move with me to the elegant seat, the wine and food are ready!"
