However, she is one year older and others are also older, the second sister will marry when she is sixteen, and her mother will be thirty or five years old next Chinese New Year's Eve, and she feels that there is more gray hair.

If my mother doesn't grow old, she doesn't grow up.

It's always been like this, to be a mother's child in the arms of a mother.

This year's grandmother's birthday banquet should not be ready to be held in a big way, and I have to wait for my 60th birthday.

More than a month of study, waiting for the Chinese New Year.

Yan Mingyu has nothing else to do every day, Shengjing's new shop can open in the first half of the month, just wait for the New Year.

It snowed, it was cold for two days, and the snow slowly melted.

At the end of the month, Yan Mingqiao was on holiday, she didn't go out, she practiced reading in the house, and when she was halfway through writing in the morning, Lin Xiang came in and said to Yan Mingqiao: "Girl, someone wants to see the owner of the spring cake shop, it may be a business matter, do you want to go and see it tomorrow?" ”

Yan Mingqiao put down the book, "Where are the people, what is the attitude, why didn't they find the shopkeeper?" ”

Chapter 55 Partnership

If there is something in the shop, the shopkeeper should be able to deal with it, and they still have to find them for what is the big thing.

Lin Xiang didn't know very well, "The man gave the slave and maid ten taels of silver, and let the slave and maid pass the word, it seems that the money is not bad." The guy said that he was a little familiar, his attitude was not bad, he was wearing silk and satin, and he spoke with a little accent, He should be a rich merchant from the south. ”

The accent is somewhat similar to Su Xiaoniang's, but it's not that heavy.

Lin Xiang is outside, she does things for Yan Mingqiao, and occasionally receives benefits.

As long as it's not too much, Yan Mingqiao doesn't care, a word she learned from her mother is to be short-handed, whether it's to the shopkeeper outside, the guys, or the maid in the room.

If you give more good, you will be more faithful.

Yan Mingqiao said: "You go and meet first, if there is really something important, I will see the second sister again." ”

It's not for everyone to be a proprietor, and if everyone sees it, then she doesn't have to study. Yan Mingqiao guessed that it must be a business matter, isn't it a branch? I still want to get the goods from them.

The businessman should know the importance of the matter, and it is definitely not the buyer, the roast duck shop can earn more than 1,000 taels of silver a month, and the buyer has to spend a lot of money.

There are a lot of businessmen in Shengjing City, those people go south and north, they have a lot of knowledge, if they like to eat roast duck but there is no other place to sell it, their brains are more active, and they can naturally find business opportunities.

Yan Mingqiao and Yan Mingyu are not short of silver, but the silver that jumps in their arms will definitely not be wanted, if they are doing business together, then they must think carefully, otherwise the reputation of the shop will be ruined.

Also, if a person finds it, will there be a second or third, if the character is similar, naturally whoever gives more money will do business with whom.

Yan Mingqiao also knew that she was young, and outsiders were easy to look down on her, so she went to see her once, and people probably thought that they especially wanted to partner, so that she would not be fooled.

She didn't understand these things before, but she learned from her mother Liu, and she slowly understood.

Lin Xiang nodded, "Then the slave maid will go and have a look first." ”

The girl asked her to see it, and if she didn't think it was good, then the girl didn't have to look at it.

Lin Xiang cleaned up a little and went out to meet the guests.

Lin Xiang often runs outside now, and Lin Zao is in charge of the things in the house, and they are also maids, one of the most useful people around the girl, often going out, and taking a lot of snacks, delicious food, and rewards.

And everyone else is in the house, except for a few times out of the banquet, the rest of the time is really rarely out of the house.

It is impossible to say that there is no envy in my heart, but Lin Zao knows who needs to use it, and the girl will use whomever it is.

With Mama Li watching, no one dared to give the girl eye medicine, even if it did, the girl was smart, and she couldn't see that little bit of caution. Besides, Lin Xiang is indeed good at doing things, going out a lot, and helping to sell handkerchiefs and purses, where can he take revenge.

Lin Xiang also said that if you work hard, the girl has a lot of shops, and she will definitely have a useful day.

Therefore, it is not that there is no chance in the future, do your own thing first, listen to the girl's words, and naturally use them when you use them.

Xuezhu Qingri is the person who is rewarded by the Shen family, but the two have never relied on this relationship to do anything, and they are very obedient.

In the afternoon, Lin Xiang came back from outside, her face was white from the cold.

Yan Mingqiao asked her to sit down and warm up for a while, Lin Xiang drank a cup of hot tea, and then said to Yan Mingqiao 1510: "That person is a businessman from Jiangnan, surnamed Zhao, who is engaged in the rice and grain business, and according to him, he is a frequent customer of the auspicious Ruyi Spring Cake Shop." The people who saw the slave and maid at noon knew that the slave and maid went by themselves, but they were set in the drunken incense building. ”

Zuixianglou is a famous restaurant in Shengjing City, and at noon, Lin Xiang estimated that he spent two or three taels of silver.

That's a lot of money spent on her alone.

Lin Xiang: "Boss Zhao often goes to Shengjing to run business, and he likes the roast duck in the spring cake shop the most, and he also said that he just ate one yesterday." It's just that he will go back to Jiangnan in a short time, and he will have to start spring when he comes back, and he said that he wants to eat roast duck in the shop, so he wants to talk to the girl about a business. He wanted to go to the Jiangnan side to open a shop selling roast duck, and said that it would be good to discuss what to divide. ”

It's like a businessman with a lot of money.

Boss Zhao is a little fat, good-looking, and doesn't look shrewd, but businessmen say that there is no treachery or business, Lin Xiang doesn't dare to say it, he is as kind and good as he looks.

It's almost the same as Yan Mingqiao guessed, just for the sake of business, buy shares and open a shop, and then calculate the share.

It sounds good like this, but Yan Mingqiao thinks that Boss Zhao and her are not related, and it is impossible to make too many profits, businessmen, they must want to make money.

Lin Xiang said: "The slave said that you are not available, and Boss Zhao said that when you are free, he will be waiting for you at any time." ”

It's definitely going to be a meeting.

Yan Mingqiao first went to Yumingxuan to discuss with the second sister, and someone came to the door to do business, which was always a happy event. The sisters had fun with each other for a while, but no one had any idea when to meet someone and where to meet.

Lin Xiang said that the man looked like he was thirty or forty years old, Yan Mingyu was fourteen this year, and Yan Mingqiao was only seven years old this year.

Although it is very powerful to be able to do business and earn thousands of taels of silver at this age, if Chu Zheng comes over and says that he has business to discuss, Yan Mingyu probably will not go.

He is young and easily looked down upon.

When they were undecided to find their mother, the two went to ask Shen, who had seen a lot of people and probably knew what to do.

Shen said: "Dry for two days first, if you are not in a hurry, he will be in a hurry." This thing can't be done properly for a while, you two go, don't be in a hurry. ”

Anyway, if Boss Zhao doesn't come, they will be able to open a branch in another year and a half, and wait, maybe there will be other businessmen looking for them.

Yan Mingqiao listened to the Shen family, and Yan Mingyu was too lazy to go out, so it was okay to drag it out.

Maybe God also wants to delay, the weather is good on the two days of the month, and there was a heavy snow on the first day of the new year, and I can't go out now.

The Shen family originally planned to go to Vientiane Temple to offer incense and pray for blessings, but they could only give up, and roasted around the stove in the house, staring at the account books of Yan Mingyu and Yan Mingyueli's house.

In the year after that, Yan Mingyu got married, and he could only go to Zhenbei Hou Mansion to embarrass people.

Yan Mingyu had a headache when she saw this, "Mother, there is a sister and ......a leak in the shop."

Shen said in a cool voice: "Then when you get married, bring your sister over, take classes during the day, and help Lihou Mansion at night." ”

Yan Mingyu gasped, "...... I'm afraid it won't work. ”

Shen's willow eyebrows straightened, "If you know that it won't work, don't hurry up and look at it, you won't know if you're deceived when the time comes." ”

Yan Mingyu sniffed and said: "After marrying, I am the biggest in the whole house, and I am in charge below, who dares to deceive me." ”

Yan Mingyue lowered her head on the side, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching, what is the second sister talking about.

Even if the people below don't dare to do this, everything will still be good for themselves, she said: "Second sister, even if the people in the house don't dare, then there are others." ”

In the long run, when the prince of Zhenbei Houfu gets married, will the new lady always be at home, so it's better to learn a little.

Yan Mingyu sighed, and looked at the account book resignedly, she felt that her mother just wanted to play one by one, but fortunately, she was not allowed to read it a few days before the marriage, and it was not impossible to watch it slowly.

It is estimated that it is also because she wants to teach Yan Mingyue and let her go by the way.

I just don't want her to stay.

The two sat at opposite ends of the table, one dejected, the other quite serious.

Yan Mingyue was serious about the things that Shen explained, and when she came over, she would take the insoles and socks she made herself, and the etiquette was quite thorough.

Yan Mingyue originally wanted to ask why the fifth sister was not there, but after thinking about it, the fifth sister estimated that she had already learned this, so naturally she didn't need to learn it.

Her family affairs are undecided, and she is not as smart as her fifth sister, her mother-in-law finally took care of her a few times, and Yan Mingyue wanted to hurry.

In the past few days of snowfall, Yan Mingyu and Yan Mingyue have been in the account room, and Mr. will come over after teaching Shen, draw the account book for the test, and if it is wrong, he will have to look again at night.

Sometimes Yan Mingyu makes mistakes, sometimes Yan Mingyue makes mistakes, Yan Mingyue's sister used to be very smart and hardworking, nothing can be wrong, and her temperament is gentle and cold. Although I'm a little lazy now, I feel closer and smile at her.

It turns out that getting along with a good relationship is as simple as that, as long as she doesn't have a hurtful heart, her sister will also smile and talk to her, and Mingqiao will also sweetly call her the third sister.

Yan Mingru is still young and hasn't learned this, and she can't stop being sour when she speaks to her, Yan Mingyue thinks it's ugly, she used to be like this.

Yan Mingyue was grateful in her heart, thinking that she would also make something for Yan Mingyu, so less calculating, her heart was also a lot brighter, and she would be a fart if Meng Xiaoniang said.

Meng Xiaoniang regained Yan Guogong's heart, since Su Xiaoniang was pregnant, and Yan Mingxuan was off the list, Yan Guogong couldn't go anywhere, and Meng Xiaoniang became Yan Guogong's favorite again.

Meng Xiaoniang always followed Yan Guogong's heart, and naturally coaxed Yan Guogong to be happy, and then became more and more estranged from the Shen family.

Yan Mingyue felt that it was more difficult to let Meng Xiaoniang say good things about the Shen family than to let the sun rise from the west.

Meng Xiaoniang was still thinking about how to get rid of Su Qiaohui's child, the child was three months old, and Su Qiaohui rarely went out after winter, so she stayed in the house to raise the baby. Meng Xiaoniang didn't dare to buy off the maids around her, otherwise she would know that she did it when she asked, and this matter could only be discussed in the long run.

Now, Yan Mingyue is envious of the fifth sister and the second sister's mother staying together, they are very comfortable, and what they say is ordinary homely words......

It's cold today, add more clothes, just came back from outside, don't be in a hurry to take off the big hat, do you have anything you particularly want to eat...... It's all very normal and ironing words.

Ming Qiao is not the same as being by her mother's side, she loves to talk and laugh, she loves to be naughty, she doesn't want to go anywhere, she doesn't want to go, and she will say what she wants.

Obviously, two years ago, she was a little girl who loved to keep her head down and only came to ask for nothing else, and her mother raised her fifth sister really well.

Yan Mingyue thought out of her mind, the fifth sister can be regarded as guarding Yunkai, and there is no need to stay in Wutong Garden.

Yan Mingqiao shouted to the third sister, "The dim sum brought back by Yufangzhai, the third sister took it back and ate it." ”

Yan Mingyue came back to her senses, she took a look, the snacks were very good-looking, packed in boxes, some were pale green, some were pink and purple, and there were beautiful cream flowers.

She also has a shop, so she naturally knows that the accounts are sorted at the beginning of the month, and the maid went out to get the profits and silver to bring back.

There are also three packs of oil paper, Yan Mingqiao explained that it is a biscuit, "Third sister, this is similar to the taste of peach cake, but it is sweeter and more delicious, there are raisins in it, but it is sweet." ”

Yan Mingyue nodded, "Thank you, Fifth Sister, if the Fifth Sister lacks anything, she can go to the grocery store in the west of the city to get it." ”

Yan Mingqiao sighed, and asked Lin Xiang to send snacks to other courtyards.

Last month's profit was also good, and she shared nearly a thousand taels of silver.

Shopkeeper Liu will go to talk about business by himself, and he will talk about one of the two restaurants outside Shengjing City, and in the future, he can collect a lot of money just by relying on the dim sum shop, and when the branch is opened, the profit will be more.

Yan Mingqiao found that people are not the same, Shopkeeper Liu will do business, and Shopkeeper Zhao of the Spring Cake Shop doesn't care about these, but goes to Zhuangzi to see if the ducks are raised well, and urges the master to develop new dishes. Lin Xiang said that he spent ten taels of silver a month, half of which was spent on eating ducks, and he was fatter than half a year ago.

Shopkeeper Liu wants to make more money, and Shopkeeper Zhao is content with the status quo and thinks it's good to eat and drink well, but in the shop, both of them are doing well.

The barbecue shop has the smallest floor and the least profit, and the shopkeeper is still the original grocery store shopkeeper. The grocery store used to pay only a few dozen taels of silver a month, but now it can be earned in a day, and the shopkeeper is satisfied.

If they want to open a branch, they probably have to work their own.
