All Hail Cousin Brother

In a blink of an eye, it was November.

Yu Youyao settled in Xie's house, away from the right and wrong of Beijing and China, and broke away from the rules and regulations of Yu's house. The days of Xie's house are undoubtedly leisurely and comfortable.

The only thing is that after coming to Quanzhou, I saw Yin Huaixi only a handful of times, and every time, there were elders present, and due to the etiquette, I didn't even have the opportunity to speak alone.

She also knows that this is the defense of men and women, the rules and etiquette that should be there.

In her spare time, Yu Youyao sent letters to friends in Yufu and the Yu clan, as well as friends in Beijing, and sent some Quanzhou specialties.

She lived in seclusion all day, and Wang was worried that she would be bored at home: "You still have a few good shops in Quanzhou. Would you like to go out and take a look at the shops?"

Yu Youyao was stunned for a moment, but did not respond.

Wang Shi's expression was embarrassed, and she thought that Yu Youyao was a daughter of an official family, and she was also named the head of Shaoyi County. How could she just go outside and show her face?

The official family is no more than the merchant, the property is more acreage, and it is more decent, and the shop floor is still less, and they are all left to the family's loyal servants to take care of, and usually only need to report to the government.

Wang Shi hurriedly said: "I saw that you have been in Quanzhou for some time. It's not good to be bored at home all the time. It's good for your body to take a walk to relax."

Yu Youyao realized it now, and smiled and curled her lips: "Look at the shop, it's good to relax, the shops in Quanzhou are all managed by my aunt, but I used to sit back and enjoy it, and now I'm here. Quanzhou, of course you have to go over and take a look, it’s not good to continue to work on auntie.”

Her mother married far away in Beijing, and most of the properties under her name were repurchased by the Xie Mansion in Beijing, including shops, villages, fields, woodlands, and so on.

There are not many industries here in Quanzhou.

When Wang Shi heard this, he felt it was appropriate, and held her hand: "There are seven shops in total, three of which are the powder shops that your mother built by yourself, and the other four shops that sell rare items from merchant ships. And the fashionable things in Beijing are all old shops, and you don't need to worry about it, so just take a moment to look at the ledger, there is nothing to worry about, I am worried that you will be bored if you stay at home all day, and you have something to do. Do it, and people will be more at ease.”

However, Yu Youyao knew that the profits of these seven shops were very considerable, and they were all deposited directly into the bank, and the ledger was presented to her every quarter.

Apparently it took a lot of care.

Interests can be seen in people’s hearts and human nature. Xie’s family has a great business, and they won’t be greedy for the cheapness of the seven shops.

"Thank you auntie," Yu Youyao was very moved: "My grandmother bought a house for me in Quanzhou before her death, and asked my uncle and aunt to take care of the house. My cousin and fourth brother live there. It's rare today. Go out, I want to drop by and have a look."

Wang hurriedly said: "Yu Mansion has arranged for someone to take care of you in Quanzhou, which is also a good thing. I will have nothing to do in the future, and it will not be a hindrance to walk around more often."

Yu Youyao went back to her room and changed into a lotus-colored jacket skirt, which was light and pure, and not ostentatious.

Chun Xiao took on a waist-length squirrel fur-collared cloak, and Yu Youyao inevitably thought that every October in Beijing, the weather turns to winter, and in November, it is already freezing cold.

The earth dragon has been burned at home for a long time, and a carbon cage has been set up.

She was afraid of the cold, and felt that the days were difficult every winter, and she wished she could eat and drink in bed.

The climate here in Quanzhou is warmer, and in November, I don't feel cold even if I only wear a thin jacket.

Wang first took Yu Youyao to see the shop, explained to her carefully, the operation, procurement, and profit in the shop, and took her to check the accounts.

It's all about business, and it's a little different from the accounts, housekeepers, and affairs that Yu Youyao learned in Yu Mansion.

Yu Youyao listened with relish.

Seeing that she was interested, Mrs. Wang taught her how to talk and do business, and then said: "The Lin family is also one of the top giants in Quanzhou. The family is mainly engaged in the business of herbs and spices. The spices and herbs you need in the shop under your name are from The Lin family gets the goods, and some of the Lin family's small businesses are left to Miss Lin to take care of. It just so happens that you have a batch of spices and herbs in your shop. If you are interested, I will ask Miss Lin to come out for you another day. How about leaving the business to you?"

There is a whole room of stinky boys, and there is no one who can talk to the heart. They are the daughter's family, and they talk about business together, gain a long experience, and hone it. It is also appropriate. Xiaoyao came to Quanzhou. It is necessary to get to know some people of the same age, and it will be more lively to walk around in the future.

The Wang family also mentioned something about the Lin family.

Yu Youyao's heart moved, holding Wang's arm and acting like a spoiled child: "It's the first time I'm talking about business, and my aunt will teach me more."

The Lin family's source of medicinal materials is so stable, and if they can expand their business, they must have their own medicinal plant Zhuangzi, as well as supply channels.

There is no shortage of money and food in the north, except for medicinal materials and spices, which are controlled by the imperial court. During the Taiping period, we still need to be prepared, and during the famine years, the control is more strict.

Medicinal materials are scarce materials. Many medicinal materials have special origins and special suppliers. It is almost transparent how many people have passed through them along the way.

There are many merchants dealing in medicinal materials in China, but because medicinal materials are scarce, and the imperial court strictly controls the materials, the relationship behind it is also complicated.

Even if there is a dart company, it is not safe.

She also has a herbal medicine shop under her name, but they all make small troubles.

Yu Youyao inevitably asked about the situation of the Lin family: "Does Miss Lin have any brothers?"

Although Quanzhou's atmosphere is open, if there are brothers in the family, the daughter will not be exposed to do business.

Wang said meaningfully: "Master Lin's wife, Yan, comes from the Yan family (Chengdu) in Yizhou, Shuchuan. The Yan family is similar to the Lin family. They are also in the medicinal material business. They have their own medicine planting village. Daughter, the family had several concubines and gave birth to several concubines, but the daughter is very smart, and she helped the family to check and check accounts when she was a child."

In just a few words, Yu Youyao heard the key.

There are ten authentic medicinal material producing areas in Dazhou. Fujian belongs to Jiangnan authentic medicinal material producing area, while Shuchuan belongs to Sichuan medicinal producing area. The medicinal materials produced in each region are different.

Through marriage, the Lin family and the Yan family reached a win-win situation in which Jiangyao was sold in Sichuan, Sichuan medicine was sold in Jiangxi, and there was mutual exchange.

Yan's family has no children, but she has a powerful family.

Quanzhou is an important place for commerce and trade, with an open atmosphere and merchants who value profits over gifts.

As a woman, Miss Lin has the support of Yan's mother and Yan's family behind her. As long as the Lin family does not want to give up the cooperation situation with Yan's, Jiang and Sichuan medicinal materials, they will not give up on Miss Lin.

What's more, in the future, the business dealings between the Lin family and the Yan family must go through Miss Lin.
