Cousin Chitose Chitose

Wei Yichen's face turned cold completely: "This is the shopkeeper in this shop? The shelf is so big! I didn't know, but I thought you were the Marquis of Changning himself!"

"Do you know who our shopkeeper is? Our shopkeeper is Lord Hou's milk brother! If you offend our shopkeeper, you offend Lord Hou! You have good fruit to eat!" His own wrist, looking at him with an unfriendly expression.

Another clerk persuaded the shopkeeper: "This man is so disrespectful to Lord Hou in his words, we must not let him go lightly! Why don't you give him a good beating before throwing him out!" The clerk whose wrist was hit was his. younger brother.Since my younger brother has been bullied by this person, naturally this matter cannot be left alone!

The two exchanged a look, Qiqi rushed towards Wei Yichen, and then...was knocked down cleanly by Wei Yichen.

Jiang Yuanwan always thought that Wei Yichen was following the path of a literati, but she did not expect his skill to be so good, and she admired him very much.

However, when she set her sights on the shopkeeper and the guys, she became a bit unkind.

"It turns out that this is how this shop treats customers. A small guy dares to touch customers. Who gave you the courage! Is Changning Marquis' big brother amazing? Do you know who my cousin is?"

Jiang Yuanwan's words were very arrogant and very hateful, but Wei Yichen felt that she was quite cute with her fangs and claws.When he was in the mansion, he couldn't see such a lively side of Jiang Yuanwan.Moreover, he really liked the way Jiang Yuanwan used his power to do bad things.Does this mean that Jiang Yuanwan has finally started to rely on him?

Hearing Jiang Yuanwan's words, the shopkeeper dared to have a fit, and immediately realized that something was wrong - the man in front of him... looked familiar!He was only interested in getting angry before, and didn't look carefully at the person coming. Now when he took a closer look, he was so frightened that his three souls lost his seven souls: "Shi, Shizi? Why are you here?"

The noble masters almost never come to the store in person, they only order the steward to fetch clothes for them, and when they need to pick out clothes or have their body measured, the shop assistants come to the house in person.People who come to the store are often people who can't afford high-end clothes and want to see the world. If not, how could they be so careless?

They actually did something to the prince just now... The shopkeeper can't wait to pass out right now.

"If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have known that you acted so arrogantly in the name of your father! No wonder the business in the shop is not good. With you black sheep around, how can it be good!"

As he said that, Wei Yichen told Jiang Yuanwan: "Cousin, now that my father has given you the shop, you must clean it up. Those slaves who bully the master will take care of it directly. I'll tell you!"

Only then did the shopkeeper turn his attention to Jiang Yuanwan: "This... this is Miss Biao, right?"

The shopkeeper knew that Marquis Changning had given this shop to Miss Cousin in his house, but he didn't care.Anyway, the cousin lady is just a junior, and she is not a real brand lady in the house, so she must not dare to touch them, the old people left behind by Marquis Changning, otherwise she will be disrespectful to Marquis Changning.According to his ability, it is not difficult to take a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl out of the air.

But now their handle fell into Jiang Yuanwan's hands!If Jiang Yuanwan insisted on replacing them, they would not be able to make a fuss with Marquis Changning!

"It's all a misunderstanding... These idiots don't know the identities of the two of you, and mistakenly think that you two are here to make trouble, so what kind of impolite things did they do..."

The shopkeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead, nodded and bowed in front of Wei Yichen and Jiang Yuanwan, and as soon as he turned around, he glared viciously at the guys in the shop: "Quickly apologize to Shi Zi and Miss Biao!"

"No need, I can't afford the guy who dares to beat up the guests. You two don't come tomorrow." Jiang Yuanwan always has a good posture when she needs it, and she is not inferior to the noble lady of the Hou family. The whole body's aura makes people feel a little guilty: "As for the shopkeeper... Without your connivance, the guys below would never dare to act like this. However, I don't like it that you are the shopkeeper personally appointed by your uncle. I directly withdrew you and slapped uncle in the face."

The shopkeeper heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, and felt that this matter could be fooled, so he heard Jiang Yuanwan say again: "I will report this matter directly to my uncle, please ask my uncle to come forward and send you away. You won't embarrass me because of you as a servant!"

Hong Xing knew that Jiang Yuanwan had just taken over the shop and needed to show her prestige in front of the people below, so she stood up and said, "Naturally, Miss Hou loves her the most. Not only will she be given the right to be a housekeeper, but she will also be given the right to manage this shop." Both your deed and your body deeds have been given to the young lady, which shows your trust in the young lady. If you people work honestly, it’s fine. If you rely on your seniority, you intend to use the master, or use the master’s prestige. There is trouble outside... Even if Miss sells you all, no one can say no!"

After saying these words, Hong Xing watched with satisfaction the complexions of the shopkeeper and the guys in the store.

Their deeds are in the hands of this cousin, doesn't it mean that in the future, their fate will be controlled by this cousin?

I have to say that Hong Xing's dismount is straightforward.

Jiang Yuanwan looked at Hong Xing with a little appreciation.These days, Hongxing can be regarded as having gained experience, and it is worthwhile for her to bring her by her side every day for training.She looked at Hongyu next to her again, only to see Hongyu lowered her head, she was unwilling to say anything in this situation, she couldn't help sighing.

Hongyu is probably due to her personality, she has never been able to show her power, and she can't be independent like the other girls.However, Hongyu also has the advantages of Hongyu. She is more gentle and careful than Hongxing, can get along with people around her, and can often find Hongxing's omissions. The two complement each other perfectly.It is impossible for all the girls around her to be as shrewd and capable as Liu Yun and Qingyin, because she expected too much.

After returning to the mansion, Jiang Yuanwan explained to Marquis Changning the hospitality attitude of the shopkeeper and the servants.

Hearing this, Marquis Chang Ning was furious, he has always been a man with long sleeves and good at dancing, he would not offend people easily, how did he know that Brother Nai actually made enemies for him everywhere outside the mansion!

Speaking of which, the business of this clothing store used to be quite good, but it has gradually declined in recent years.At that time, the grandmother of Marquis Changning told him that it was because Liu's family opened several new clothing stores that robbed their business.Changning Hou has always believed in his nanny, and he also knew that the Liu family was domineering, so he didn't investigate the matter carefully, and only asked his nanny not to confront the Liu family head-on, and allocated a sum of money from his private treasury to his emergency .

After all, it was just a shop, and the Marquis of Changning didn't care too much about it. The Marquis of Changning's mansion was not bad for such a shop.

But now after hearing Jiang Yuanwan's words, Marquis Changning is really angry. One is that his brother-in-law dared to deceive him, and the other is that his brother-in-law has provoked many potential entourages for the Marquis of Changning's mansion in a place he can't see. enemy!Both of these are things that the Marquis of Changning cannot tolerate.

Marquis Changning barely suppressed the anger in his heart, and said kindly to Jiang Yuanwan: "Yuanyuan, you did the right thing, and you can't use those slaves who run amok outside in the name of master. In the future, if you encounter such a thing again, Just get rid of the person directly, don't ask me for instructions."

Jiang Yuanwan said: "Thank you for your understanding, Uncle. I will remember that next time someone does something like this, I will definitely kick him out. But this time... the shopkeeper is uncle's uncle. If I deal with it directly I'm afraid my uncle's face will be ugly. Uncle loves me so much, so drive him away for me."

Hearing the girl's delicate and soft words, Marquis Changning finally had a smile on his face.Jiang Yuanwan respected him everywhere and cared about his face, which made him quite satisfied: "You, you, if you can't save face like this, what should you do if you are bullied in the future?"

"As long as my uncle faces me, I will never let outsiders bully me!" Jiang Yuanwan smiled, revealing two sweet dimples: "Uncle, I am also very powerful!"

"Okay, okay, I know you are good, so of course my uncle is looking for you." Marquis Changning stretched out his hand and patted Jiang Yuanwan's shoulder: "Do what you want, Yuanyuan, uncle knows you are a proper child. Since uncle will Handing over that shop to you means that uncle trusts you, and uncle doesn't intend to ask about that shop any more."

"Thank you uncle."

The words of Marquis Changning gave Jiang Yuanwan a high degree of autonomy.Even if someone in the shop bullies Jiang Yuanwan's young face in the future, Jiang Yuanwan can use Chang Ninghou's words to block all those people's doubts!With Marquis Changning speaking in person, Jiang Yuanwan will have less trouble managing the shop in the future.

Jiang Yuanwan was thinking about how to take care of the shop in order to improve the profitability of the shop, so she heard Changning Hou say again: "Your cousin also has some experience in this field, if you have any doubts, you might as well go to your cousin to discuss it. With our identities, although we don’t know how many shops to eat, if we can take care of the shops, we will have an extra income at hand.”

Jiang Yuanwan thought so deeply.

Liu Yun's intelligence network has just been established, and the further she goes, the more money will be spent.

When she was stuck in the mansion, Jiang Yuanwan had almost nothing to spend money on, except for rewarding servants and giving gifts on the elders' birthdays.Now that she has started to manage the house and manage several shops in her own hands, her expenses have gradually increased.Of course, it's all worth it.

Seeing that Jiang Yuanwan listened to his words, Marquis Changning was quite satisfied.He didn't care about the profitability of the few shops in the district, nor did he care how much money Jiang Yuanwan could make back.He had a certain idea in his heart, and he was naturally happy to see Jiang Yuanwan spend more time with his son.

The big shopkeeper of the garment shop was replaced, and Jiang Yuanwan couldn't find anyone available for a while, so she replaced Wei Yichen's person according to the plan—the fat shopkeeper of the cloth shop.The fat shopkeeper is a capable person. The most important thing is that he will take the initiative to ask his master for advice on the general direction, instead of making decisions without authorization and knowing his duty.

Jiang Yuanwan has already discussed with Wei Yichen, let the fat shopkeeper temporarily help Jiang Yuanwan's shop for a while, Wei Yichen's cloth shop will continue to send him monthly money, of course, because he doesn't work in the cloth shop, what he can get He only has the basic monthly money, and he does not get the dividends at the end of the month and the end of the year. Jiang Yuanwan's clothing store will make up for this part of his loss.

Originally, Jiang Yuanwan was not going to ask Wei Yichen to pay.Asking Wei Yichen's people to come to her shop to help, and asking Wei Yichen to pay for it, this kind of thing can't be justified.Unexpectedly, after hearing her words, Wei Yichen was rather depressed: "Yuanyuan, do you have to figure it out so clearly with me? I just want to help you... can't you?"

Wei Yichen is a person who seldom shows weakness to others, and occasionally looks at people with this kind of forbearance with a little bit of aggrieved eyes...it's really overwhelming.

Moreover, Jiang Yuanwan had to admit that Wei Yichen helped her several times, and she didn't have any feelings in her heart... Wei Yichen's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he persuaded him twice, and finally he and Jiang Yuanwan made a decision. The fat shopkeeper's monthly money plan.Calculated according to their plan, the fat shopkeeper can get more money than when he was in the cloth shop.

Although the fat shopkeeper did a good job in the cloth shop, the business of the cloth shop was basically saturated. No matter how good he was, he was only one of the few shopkeepers, and there was no room for development.In contrast, this ready-to-wear shop still has a lot to explore.The fat shopkeeper is also a person who likes challenges, so he naturally agreed.

Different from the previous medicine shop and rouge shop, everything in this ready-made clothing shop was done by Jiang Yuanwan herself. During the process, she gained a deeper understanding of how to manage the shop.

For the clothing store, Wei Yichen accompanied Jiang Yuanwan out of the mansion several times, which can be said to have contributed both money and effort.However, looking at Jiang Yuanwan's fighting spirit, he felt that everything was okay.

"Yuanyuan, although housekeeping and shop matters are important, don't push yourself too hard, take your time." Wei Yichen persuaded Jiang Yuanwan.

"Well, don't worry, cousin, I won't tire myself. I think this kind of life is very fulfilling, and it's much better than before, huddling in the courtyard and practicing calligraphy all day long." Before the accident at home, Jiang Yuanwan was also a talkative Laughing temperament, her father often called her his pistachio

Jiang Yuanwan pulled Wei Yichen's sleeve and said, "There are many things that no one has taught me before. Cousin, it's lucky to have you here, otherwise, I'm afraid I'm going to be caught blind. This time I'll trouble you to run with me again, Whatever you say, let me treat you to a meal."

"Okay, where do you want to eat?" Wei Yichen tried not to look at his cuffs, he knew that the hard work these days had worked, Jiang Yuanwan became closer to him, and became more and more intimate in front of him. The more defenseless you are.

However, if he looked down at the white and tender little hand holding his sleeve, Jiang Yuanwan would definitely let go because of embarrassment.

Jiang Yuanwan clutched that sleeve, wandered the streets for a long time, and finally picked a restaurant that looked stylishly decorated and had a hot business: "Let's just go to this one."

When he was about to go in, he saw Xiao Er staring at his hand for a few more times, and then he realized that he hurriedly withdrew his hand, his face flushed red: "Cousin, why didn't you remind me!"

What a shame! ! !

Wei Yichen suppressed a smile and said, "You are my younger sister. Isn't it normal that you hold my sleeve for fear of being swept away by people when you go out?" As he spoke, he held Jiang Yuanwan's hand instead, He walked past the waiter in the shop without changing his face: "Don't pay too much attention to irrelevant people. Speaking of which, the waiter in this restaurant should improve a bit, how can he stare at the customers so rudely?" reason."

Hearing the words, the waiter in the shop felt his heart tighten, and instinctively felt the crisis.

Before Jiang Yuanwan had time to think about it, Wei Yichen dragged her to sit in the accordion.

Jiang Yuanwan:? ? ?

Jiang Yuanwan: "I remember, the Accord of this restaurant seems to need to be booked in advance, right?"

Wei Yichen said: "Oh, maybe they just have a seat today. What do you want to eat?"

"Since it's me who treats my cousin to dinner, it's natural for you to order this dish."

"Guest as you wish."

Jiang Yuanwan found that when the two came out together, Wei Yichen seemed to accommodate her every time, following her preferences, which was not acceptable.But she hadn't eaten with Wei Yichen much, and she knew little about Wei Yichen's preferences...

Jiang Yuanwan thought for a while, and said to Xiao Er who was standing aside: "Give me a portion of all the signature dishes in your restaurant."

I don't know what Wei Yichen likes to eat, can I order more dishes?

After a while, Jiang Yuanwan was dumbfounded at the table full of dishes.No, there is not enough room for one table, Xiao Er silently brought another table over...

"Order so much, can you finish it? I'm afraid you'll be full with just one chopstick for each dish." Wei Yichen looked at Jiang Yuanwan's bitter face with a suppressed smile.

"Cousin, don't make fun of me. Fortunately, there are quite a few people who came out with us today. Let's pick out some of them and distribute the rest to them."

"Never mind."

When sharing the dishes, Jiang Yuanwan found that each dish was full of portions, and she couldn't help sighing: "The owner of this restaurant is really sincere!"

"Sicheng?" Wei Yichen's expression was a little strange.

"Isn't it? Just go out and have a look. Among the current restaurants, which one doesn't have expensive food and few servings? The owner of this restaurant can be said to be the conscience of the industry."

The dishes in this restaurant taste quite good, and Jiang Yuanwan tastes very delicious.On weekdays, she could only eat half a bowl of rice in the Marquis of Changning's residence, but today she ate the whole bowl with the food on the table.

After eating, Jiang Yuanwan found the waiter, and was about to pay the bill, but saw the waiter gave Wei Yichen a look, and waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, the boss eats in his own restaurant, and there is no need to pay."

"Boss?" Jiang Yuanwan frowned and looked at Wei Yichen in surprise: "Are you the boss here? Don't you only have four shops under your control?"

Wei Yichen spread his hands innocently: "There are indeed only four shops, but restaurants are not counted as shops!"

Jiang Yuanwan: "...you won, you don't have other properties under your hands, do you?"

Wei Yichen thought for a while: "Well, there is also a bank, a six-entry mansion and three three-entry mansions, two villages in the suburbs of Beijing, and a textile factory in the south, and a six-entry mansion. The three Zhuangzi, these were left to my mother by my great-grandmother. When Daqi was first established, rituals and music collapsed, order was chaotic, and people were not so particular about the class of scholars, farmers, businessmen, etc. My great-grandmother was the only daughter of a salt merchant. By chance, my great-grandfather was rescued and he became a partner with my great-grandfather. Later, the Tai-Zu-Huang-Emperor needed a lot of money to conquer the world, and my great-grandmother’s family contributed a lot.”

Jiang Yuanwan: "........." I thought that my little partner was just an ordinary kid from a rich family, but it turned out that my little partner was not only powerful but also extremely rich.Among other things, one bank crushed many shops!

However, Jiang Yuanwan's mood calmed down when she thought that Marquis of Changning might not be as rich as Wei Yichen.Anyway, it's definitely not her who is most distressed.

Speaking of it, this dynasty does not promote the move of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business, and the status of merchants has been greatly improved compared with the previous dynasty.Emperor Tai-zu imposed higher taxes on rich merchants than farmers and artisans, while giving them equal status with workers and peasants.Therefore, Wei Yichen and Jiang Yuanwan are not ashamed to talk about merchants.The treasury needs money, and they need money themselves.

……

Ever since she knew that Wei Yichen's great-grandmother was good at doing business, Jiang Yuanwan firmly believed that Wei Yichen had inherited his great-grandmother's skills, and Wei Yichen was therefore more and more frequently arrested as a young man.Wei Yichen was very happy about this.However, recently there has been an undercurrent in the court, and Wei Yichen has gradually become busy. Sometimes he will deal with official business until late, and Jiang Yuanwan is too embarrassed to bother him.

One time, Jiang Yuanwan was struggling to solve a problem by herself, and Wei Yichen happened to see it. Wei Yichen thought about it and said to her:

"I've been out of the house a lot these days, and I'm afraid you won't be able to find me when you need help. How about this, I'll leave a young man by my side for you, he knows how to contact me quickly. If you meet me on weekdays What's the problem, just send him to deliver the letter to me."

"This is too much trouble for my cousin. How can my cousin's affairs be as important as my idea, and I won't delay my cousin because of these trivial matters."

"I know, you can handle all of these, but I want to help you." Wei Yichen looked at Jiang Yuanwan seriously: "I want you to avoid detours. If you don't tell me if you run into trouble, I can only help you." Send someone to keep an eye on you. You don't want me to spend energy on this aspect in addition to heavy tasks, do you? Of course, this is just my personal behavior, and you don't have to feel sorry for it. "

Jiang Yuanwan was in a complicated mood and didn't know what to say.For things that she can solve by herself, she will try not to cause trouble to others, but according to Wei Yichen, if she encounters difficulties and doesn't ask him for help, it will only increase his burden?

She found that it was becoming more and more difficult for her to maintain the boundary she had drawn between herself and Wei Yichen.

In the end, under Wei Yichen's insistence, she accepted Wei Yichen's suggestion.

Therefore, on Wei Yichen's desk, he would receive notes from the servant Jiang Yuanwan sent from time to time.

Looking at Jiang Yuanwan's sharp handwriting, Wei Yichen felt that most of the day's fatigue had disappeared.This really doesn't look like a girl's handwriting, but it has Jiang Yuanwan's character.

Wei Yichen didn't think it was a burden to solve troubles for Jiang Yuanwan and make suggestions. On the contrary, reading the note Jiang Yuanwan sent him was a rare moment of relaxation in his day.It's a pity that Jiang Yuanwan's notes are not available every day, and Wei Yichen often has to wait ten or eight days, or even longer, for a copy.

The servants around me were all muttering: "Your Majesty really attaches great importance to that note, and the eyes he looks at that note are really gentle. If it weren't for the obvious handwriting of a man on that note, I would have thought that Your Majesty I was reading a love letter."

"Maybe that is some important information..."

"Damn it, when the son received important information, when did he not look serious and frown? How did he ever relax so much?"

……

Wei Yichen didn't care what his subordinates thought. After answering the questions on the note one by one, he handed over the answer to the boy who was in charge of contacting Jiang Yuanwan, and took care of those notes. Stored in a wooden box.

As for where Wei Yichen hid the wooden box... No one knows.
