Chapter 14 Pawnshop Liwei
Holding the deed of Xi Yintang and coming out of the old lady's room, Yuan Xi's heart was hearty, and Ju Xiang chased out with the silk: "Third Miss, wait, the old lady said, this silk is still for the third lady." ”
"Ju Xiang, what did the clan elders say yesterday?"
Yuan Xi's question, Ju Xiang's elated expression also dimmed, and it was not difficult to guess that the patriarch's attitude yesterday must have been very excessive. Ju Xiang said coyly: "Third Miss, don't ask so much, it's not a good thing anyway, but it will add to the blockage after listening to it." I don't think the clan elder has much vision, Third Miss, you must be a person who can achieve great things. You, just take care of the affairs of the store happily, and after a few days the store opens, you will be busy. ”
Ju Xiang didn't say anything more, handed the silk to Ling'er, and turned around and went back to the old lady. Ling'er stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Miss, Ju Xiang is talking a lot, shouldn't there be anything?"
"What can there be, nothing more than a joke waiting to see me. Relying on the fact that he is his grandfather's eldest brother, he flaunts his power in the house. What does he know about business? It's just a deputy of his grandfather, who is an errand runner to put it bluntly, and now he is on the shelf. Yuan Xi said angrily: "Wait and see, in the Wei family in the future, you have to work hard to speak, and you have to earn your status by yourself." ”
......
Yuan Jia hid in his room, locked the door, and didn't eat or drink for a day. The old lady's hand stinged her eyes and made her cry in pain. Why, why is the old lady so eccentric, she is also the eldest lady of the Wei family, and she is a few years older than Wei Yuanxi, why can she Wei Yuanxi take over the business, but she can't? This is unfair, too unfair.
You Shi frowned, he was already very annoyed after deducting the monthly money for three years, but he let Wei Yuanxi, a little slut, put it on the table, not to mention that he lost face, and let her get a store deed. The girl in Yuan Jia's room knocked on the door with a soup for a day, almost crying, and Yuan Jia didn't say a word. You Shi asked softly: "Eldest lady still hasn't eaten anything?"
The maid nodded: "Auntie, what can I do about this?" You Shi knocked lightly on the door: "Yuanjia, you come out, my mother has something to say to you." ”
Hearing that it was his mother's voice, Yuan Jia finally opened the door and plunged into You Shi's arms and cried: "Mother, why, am I really inferior to her? Why is God so unfair." ”
You Shi took the soup from the girl's hand and ordered, "You go down first." You Wen Ran hugged Yuan Jia and entered the door: "It's very heartbroken, isn't it? If it's heartbroken, take the courage to deal with her." ”
Yuan Jia's eyes widened: "You mean?"
"Isn't that girl's pawn shop about to open? As a sister, don't you give a big gift?" You Shi's eyes were as calm as a pool of deep water.
The sound of beeping firecrackers attracted the attention of the people passing by, and people gathered around to see the excitement. The children squatted on the ground to pick up the unexploded cannons, and the adults talked about it. I want to see who has changed the pawn shop of the Wei family to be the owner.
Yuan Xi put on a simple cloud top bun and pinned a dotted emerald butterfly and a silver small step. Dressed in a pink hat, he stood in front of the storefront. The guys wore brand new clothes and looked extra energetic.
"Third Miss, congratulations, the new store is open, it's a good start!" was greeted by Boss Zhao, who was followed by a small guy holding a box. Yuan Xi hurriedly greeted the steps: "Boss Zhao, thank you for your care, please inside." ”
Boss Zhao gave the little guy a look, and the little guy opened the box in public, and there was a string of Dongzhu lying quietly inside, each bead was the size of a grape. Yuan Xi was stunned: "Boss Zhao, what are you?"
"You open a pawn shop, and I'll do the business. Look at the condition, five hundred taels, you want to die. Boss Zhao hugged his fists and smiled: "Third Miss, please take care of you in the future." ”
A gentleman's friend, regardless of the yellow and white things, Yuan Xi nodded: "Take care of each other in the future." Then he commanded, "Let the court sing." ”
"Wan Yongxing Boss Zhao, a string of balls, five hundred taels of silver......"
Yuan Xi hugged his fists: "Neighbors, I hope the small shop will take care of it in the future." Yuan Xi also ordered two apprentices to stand at the corner of the street and scatter money, and dozens of hanging money were thrown out and distributed to the poor.
The manager's surname is Liu, his name is Tianbao, he holds his hands in his arms, and he sighs disapprely. Shopkeeper Wang He glanced at him: "What's the matter, you have a toothache?"
Liu Tianbao pouted: "I'll just say that the third miss can't be successful, where is this like doing business, this is doing kindness." Take a lot of money and throw it out. ”
Wang He smiled: "You this leisure, and you don't take money from your pocket, why are you still distressed?"
Liu Tianbao shook his head and sighed: "If it doesn't work, it won't work, what else is Xiyintang, who can hear that this is a pawn number?"
When Wang He saw his eyes rolling, he knew that he had a bad idea again, and hurriedly grabbed him: "What do you want to do?" Liu Tianbao smiled evilly: "What can I do? But if you want to test and tempt, we must have someone in charge here." ”
The pawnshop is divided into four levels, before Yuan Xilai, the manager Liu Tianbao was the biggest guy here, he accounted for 20% of the store's capital, so he sat in the position of manager. The other four are the shopkeeper Wang He, Chaofeng Ruan Er and the shopkeeper Li Lin. In the past, Liu Tianbao was under the orders of Wei Dongshu, the owner of the Wei family's firm, and he also felt decent in front of people, but now he asked him to obey the orders of a teenage girl, he was naturally unconvinced.
Liu Tianbao quietly called Chao Feng Ruan Er, and the two muttered a few words. Ruan Er was stunned. Liu Tianbao punched him: "What kind of god, don't go quickly." ”
Yuan Xi and Boss Zhao were sitting eating tea and chatting, and heard Chao Feng Ruan Er singing: "A fur coat, as a silver two taels ......"
Yuan Xi raised his eyebrows and shouted, "Slow down." ”
Chaofeng Ruan Er and the shopkeeper Li Lin were both stunned, the shopkeeper Wang He lowered his head, and the manager Liu Tianbao also raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong with the third lady?"
Yuan Xi put down the bowl and asked coldly, "What's the matter with Ruan Er? The first day to be a court?" Ruan Er glanced at Liu Tianbao, and Liu Tianbao smiled and said, "Third Miss, is there anything wrong with Ruan Er?"
With such a smiling look, Yuan Xi had seen a lot in his previous life, and he knew that Ruan Er's aggrieved appearance was what Liu Tianbao ordered him to do. Yuan Xi sneered: "I can't hear what's wrong? What, you're also the first day as a manager?"
Seeing this posture, Boss Zhao hurriedly found a reason and left in a hurry. Boss Zhao is a smart person, this is your own contradiction, and it is not good for outsiders to look at it after all. Yuan Xi saw that Boss Zhao was gone, and walked to the counter by himself, and the one who pawned the fur coat was an old man in coarse cloth, Yuan Xi turned over the fur coat, and said indifferently: "The insect moth and rat bite the skin and rotten jacket, and it should be two taels of silver." ”
The old man took the pawn ticket and the silver, and walked out of Xiyin Hall in a daze. The manager, the shopkeeper, the courtier, and the treasurer looked at each other, and no one spoke. There is a lot of jargon in the pawnshop, which the layman simply does not understand. I thought Yuan Xi was an ornament who didn't understand anything, but I didn't expect it to be a good person, and everyone was like a frosted eggplant for a while, wilting.
Yuan Xi sat down steadily, picked up the bowl and took a sip of tea: "I know, you see that I am young and a woman, and I am not convinced." I said what the big boss thought, how did he send a marginal hairy girl here, didn't he?"
Yuan Xi sneered: "Liu Tianbao, do you say?" These words were exactly what Liu Tianbao was thinking, he had a gloomy face, and he didn't know how to respond.
"You must think in your hearts, the third miss is young, she must be a bodhisattva, to put it bluntly, she is a puppet, don't you let us handle it? As long as we don't make any efforts, the third miss will only have the share of begging. Yuan Xi put down the bowl and looked at the four people in front of him: "I know all your methods, if you have the ability but hide it, it is no different from not having the ability." I don't raise idlers, and I will do whatever you should do in the future, and I won't check you. However, if anyone is found to be wrong by me, I will punish them according to the rules. I don't care whose decency is, the pawnshop's profit is decent, and if I lose a penny in anyone's hand, I'll take his decency on top of it. Alright, you guys go about it. ”
Ling'er stood behind Yuan Xi and listened blankly to Yuan Xi's words of reprimanding them, which sounded very old-fashioned, no matter how you looked at it, it didn't look like what a teenage girl said, and then looked at the four big guys, all of them were arrogant, and their attitudes were much more honest. asked in a low voice, "Miss, why did you say that the fur coat was torn, I look very good?"
Yuan Xi smiled and didn't answer, and asked rhetorically: "Ling'er, this pair of jade earrings is your most precious thing, right?"
Ling'er nodded. As soon as Yuan Xi stretched out his hand, Ling'er took off the earrings and put them in Yuan Xi's hand. Yuan Xi smiled: "If you drop these earrings yourself, maybe it's nothing, if someone else drops them, do you want to feel distressed?" In the same way, something like fur is placed in your own box and bitten by insects, so you can only consider yourself unlucky. If there is someone else, if there is a slight injury, it will be distressed, and it is bound to claim. If you lose money like this, can you still open a pawnshop?"
Ling'er said with a smile: "I understand, so 'insects and rats bite through the cotton jacket' means that it's none of my business if it's broken?"
Yuan Xi nodded: "This is just a simple jargon, they deliberately said it as a fur coat, just to see if I understand the doorway inside, if not, he can fool me unscrupulously." The profits of pawnshops should not be underestimated, and if I really don't understand, any of them can empty the pawnshop. Perhaps it was this potential contradiction that the clan elder asked me to take charge of the pawnshop. He wanted to see me make a mistake and then let You Shi come out to turn the tide, but unfortunately, this calculation was wrong. ”
Ling Er was stunned, she never expected that there would be so many famous names hidden here. smiled again: "Fortunately, Miss understands." ”
Yuan Xi sneered: "He deliberately tried it because he saw that I asked people to scatter money at the street corner, and he was not happy." ”
