By Jia Xiuzhen

When they arrived at Mrs. Wang's place, the Tong family was kneeling at the bottom, and a few strong mothers stood behind them. Mrs. Wang was lying on the couch and Caixia was beating her legs.Sister Feng came up to invite Ann, and Mrs. Wang raised her eyelids and said: "Now our family is getting worse and worse. I am short-sighted and I can't take care of it. This servant is so embarrassing by chewing his tongue. If the old lady finds out, she will be angry." It's not easy. I don't want to bother with them, so you take it and send it away."

The Tong family didn't know where he was wrong at the moment, he just kowtowed to beg for grace, while the Dai Liang's family didn't dare to come forward to talk about Mrs. Wang's calmness.Sister Feng was about to lead people out, but a little girl came in and said, "Old lady, please ask the wife's second grandma to talk." Sister Feng asked people to tie up the Tong family and wait for them to come back before dealing with them.

When they went to Jiamu's room, they saw Lai Momo and several old mothers who had served Jiamu before, joking and joking in front of Jiamu.Seeing the two of them coming in, Mother Jia asked, "It's such a hot day, why do you say that the slave is attacking the master again?"

Mrs. Wang hurriedly replied: "A daughter-in-law in the warehouse management, it doesn't matter, she has already been led by Feng girl to deal with it."

Jia Mu said: "But what did you do? If there is no serious mistake, in this hot weather, a reprimand will be enough."

When Sister Feng saw it, she remembered that since the Tong family was Dai Liang's younger sister, she was related to the Lai family. She knew that someone had begged for mercy in front of Jia's mother.Fang wanted to say something, but Mrs. Wang had already opened her mouth, and said: "If you only offend me, you won't care too much about her. It's just that this slave is running around with his mouth and getting involved with his niece. If he indulges this time, I'm afraid they will be even more unhappy. Put relatives' girls in your eyes."

Mother Jia heard this, but before she could speak, Mammy Lai got up and kowtowed, saying, "I should be beaten, but I was fooled by that boy. She deserves it, and I dare not sell this old face again."

Mother Jia hurriedly asked the little girl to help her, and said: "What's your fault? It's just that people deceived us. We are old, so we will inevitably be coaxed."

After another round of persuasion, Mother Jia said to Mrs. Wang, "It turned out that Nanny Lai gave up her old face to beg for mercy, and she didn't really know the whole story. In that case, she was kicked out. If there is any more pleading, kicked out together."

Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng hurriedly agreed.When the two of them came out, Sister Feng said, "I don't know who, I'm so quick to repay God," and pointing to Dai Liang's house, "I just got a message from my wife, and I met her when I packed up and went out. I went to my wife's yard. Without saying a few words, the old lady has received a letter from her, and it is not so smooth to find someone for urgent matters on weekdays."

Dai Liang's family hurriedly came out to kowtow, Mrs. Wang said: "Get up, your own affairs are naturally more concerned than those of the master." After hearing this, Dai Liang's family did not dare to respond, so they just kowtowed.Mrs. Wang said again: "The old lady has spoken, it's useless for you to kowtow again, go and do your own thing."

Dai Liang's family was helpless, kowtowed and left.When she arrived at Mrs. Wang's place, Sister Feng first ordered someone to beat Tong's family twenty boards, and asked them to be kicked out of the second door.

After going back and forth to Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Wang said: "The slaves in this family are related to each other and help each other, but this master is put together by them."

Sister Feng said: "We have to respect Madam Lai when we see her. We don't usually see her say anything, but she is so flexible today."

Mrs. Wang sighed: "I don't talk about it on weekdays, but it's because I have nothing to say. She is the only old man in front of the old lady who is still there. She has some face. Just lie to the old lady lightly. It is the most annoying thing to make troubles between the master and the son."

Sister Feng said: "It's a rule in the mansion that anyone who manages a piece of land can get a share of the benefits. This is on the bright side. Everyone in the world is looking for money. With such benefits, it is easy to form a group. They With just a few breaths, how can we really check them out? Zong Zong is a big boss at the field grain shop on the storehouse where we buy, so naturally we have to put close people in."

Mrs. Wang nodded and said: "Sure enough, that's the truth. It's just that if the matter is not managed well, it's still in the hands of one person. It's not bad. It's better to add more people."

Sister Feng said with a smile, "I still need my aunt to plan such a big event."

Mrs. Wang asked again: "Is there anyone who can win?"

Sister Feng said: "I can't tell for a while, but I will just pay attention to the old servants from generation to generation in the future." Mrs. Wang nodded and said, "You know it in your heart."

After Sister Feng left, she ordered someone to write a letter to her sister.

Let's say Wang Xue was troubled by his son's life lawsuit before, fortunately with the help of his elder brother and elder sister, he learned that Ying Tianfu had closed the case in a daze, and finally he didn't waste his money.This day, I received a letter from Jia's house again, and ordered the young lady to come and read the letter.

Wang Xue and Mrs. Wang are siblings. Back then, the eldest daughter married into the second room of the Duke's mansion, and the second daughter married into the imperial merchant Xue's family. The Wang family also made a good idea.Although the Rongguo Mansion is the eldest son Xijue, the second son loves to study and is promising, and is quite favored by his parents, and the second daughter is married to the next generation head of the Xue family. He is a person with a long history and a bright future.Unexpectedly, the world is unpredictable, this Jia Zheng was blessed by his ancestors back then, and was bestowed by the Holy Spirit without scientific examination. For decades, he was still a fifth rank.

And Xue Yuan, the Patriarch of the Xue family, is indeed a great economic talent. After taking over the family business, he opened up all the joints in the past few years, and the reputation of the imperial merchant has also become more famous, but his fate was not good. Next Xue Wang and a pair of children.It was his son Xue Pan who killed someone for robbing a girl earlier, and another girl named Baochai.Back then when Xue Yuan taught them how to read and write, he found that this daughter was a hundred times better than his son. He only hated God for fooling people.Now Mrs. Xue Wang is summoning someone to call this young lady.

When Baochai came in, he greeted his mother first, but his brother was nowhere to be seen, so he must have gone somewhere to find some fun, so he took the letter and read it carefully without asking any further questions.After hearing this, Xue Wang said with a smile: "I thought of going together. I planned to go to Beijing, but your aunt is more anxious than me."

Just as he was talking, a girl announced from outside: "The uncle is back!" Then he saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old brother in beautiful clothes enter the room, who described him as somewhat similar to Xue Wang, and it was Xue Pan.First I saluted my mother, and said with a smile: "I just heard about a letter from Beijing, but what's new in the shop in the capital?"

Xue Wang took his hand earlier, took a good look at it, and laughed and cursed: "You only know stuff! You don't care about the serious business!"

Xue Pan said awkwardly, "Look at what Mom said, I'm just asking in vain. Aren't there so many old shopkeepers about the shop?"

Mrs. Xue Wang patted him and said: "It's a letter from your aunt. First, I'm afraid that you are still young, and I'm a woman. There is no one in my family who can stand up for the door. I'm afraid I will be deceived; second. Come on, even though your lawsuit is over, you should avoid the limelight after all. So you invited us to Beijing. There are your uncle and uncle in Beijing, and I can give you a little bit of advice, so that you don’t have to mess around with that screwdriver all day long. , do something irrelevant!"

When Xue Pan heard Shangjing's words, he was very excited. At the feet of the emperor, there must be something that can be played with Coke, which is not comparable to Jinling.As for the lawsuit, he didn't pay much attention to it.

It's just that later, when I heard that my uncle and uncle disciplined me, it was as if I wanted a wild horse to return to its cage, so I was very unhappy.He said straightly: "We have so many shops and businesses here, how can we just leave, or maybe my mother misses my aunt, so I can go to Beijing to have a look. But I have to learn to take care of the shop, I'm afraid it's not suitable to go Bar."

Mrs. Xue Wang hadn't opened her mouth when she heard this, but Baochai on one side had already laughed out loud. She glanced at Xue Pan and said with a smile, "I'm afraid my brother came up with these words only after hearing that he was being disciplined by his uncle and uncle."

Xue Pan was taken aback, and said, "How does my sister know?"

Baochai said: "Brother, your expression follows what mother said, first you are happy and then you are worried. It's easy to guess if you're thinking too much!"

Xue Wang also scolded with a smile: "Don't be ashamed of me! Learn to manage the shop, I can't count on you anymore! Fortunately, you are still young now. According to what your father told me before he left , Now you are not that kind of material. I am also a woman, and I have no reason to show my face. Now we are orphans and widows, and we are still leading the imperial merchant's errand, maybe there will be a stumbling block.

It's better to gather all the scattered businesses, turn them into silver and take them with you, and leave a few old shops to the old people who have lived for many years to look after them. When you go to Beijing, you can concentrate on managing the errands in the palace. When you are familiar with it and you are an adult, it is not too late to set up a shop and start a business. "

Baochai heard this and asked: "Although our family is not as good as it was when my father was there, there are still many shops scattered all over the place. How can we gather them all together? If we leave them all to others, we can't rest assured. Let my brother go, even if someone is with me, mother will not agree, but if we want our family to go one by one, I don't know how long it will take."

After hearing this, Xue Wang said with relief: "Look, you can't catch up with your sister! What Chai'er said is very reasonable. Your father also explained this matter. We only started from home and went to Beijing along the official road. On the way, all the big shops in important towns were gathered together. If it’s really a little bit out of the way, just go there and pay the bills. The most important thing is the trading bureaus in each province. Pan’er has to take a closer look. These are important things , it doesn't hurt to delay for a while.

What's more, we went to Beijing this time, even though we have property in Beijing, but your aunt and uncle probably won't allow us to live on our own, and we are still in the period of filial piety, so it's better to walk slowly. "

Baochai nodded when she heard this, thinking that since her late father had made arrangements, there should be no mistake.Xue Pan was a careless person, but he nodded in response to what his mother said in a clear and logical manner.Since then, the Xue family has gradually gathered up their business, stopping and going, and preparing some land, property and people along the way to go to Beijing without mentioning it.

Poor Mrs. Wang is anxiously looking forward to it, but there is nothing she can do.Fortunately, in the long days, with the help of Sister Feng, some people have been changed in several sewing, purchasing, and warehouse management positions.In the past, one person was in charge, but now a single person in charge of the account is added, and the general account is still handled as before, but the account is to be handed over to the housekeeper's wife.

Or the merchants who used to come and go, find a few places that they don't want to come to, and they have to toss around again, and it is uncertain whether to change or not to change when they arrive.In the past few years, the big and small managers everywhere have felt a little taste, and the wind has passed, and the dust has settled.When everyone thought about it again, they were quite shocked by Sister Feng's methods. They had to turn the wind a little bit and make more efforts.
