Tong Jia anecdote

<twenty-five>

In the past few months since the two got married, Ji Lan had instructed Tong Jiu to participate and intervene in both Yangzhengtang and Huihuizhuang in the business, and all the managers of the pharmacy also obeyed Tong Jiu's orders and orders.

Because Tong Jiu had said something earlier when she entered the marriage, she made it clear that she only came alone, and Da Zhengchang's business was still owned by the Han family.Therefore, at the beginning, Ji Lan didn't ask about Dazhengchang.

Later, Tong Jiu hit his head, and the relationship between the two of them can be said to have undergone a qualitative change.

Especially Tong Jiu, he completely eliminated the old grudge against Ji Lan in his heart, and gradually all the business of the two families became a joint property of the two, regardless of Zhongbo.

Since receiving a letter from Jingli last time, Ji Lan first made a schedule for returning to Beijing, and then began to arrange various important matters outside the customs.

Several maids and accompanying attendants packed up their things in the two yards respectively. Once the business in the shop of the masters has been explained, they can leave here to return to Beijing immediately.

Although the business of these few shops outside the customs seems to be booming now, since they are all newly opened this year, some ordinary people may just join in the fun for a while, and it won't last long.

Moreover, in terms of management and employment, some disadvantages and shortcomings have gradually emerged more or less gradually.If they don't find out and correct it in time, after the two of them leave, it may be difficult for these shops to last forever.

As for the management of the business, the two people have a tacit understanding of the division of labor.

Ji Lan is old, and he has some experience and methods in dispatching and employing people over the years, and he can convince others with a straight face.And because she is a woman, many people don't want to entangle her too much in private, which saves a lot of trouble, and they usually say what they say.

Unlike Tong Jiu, who is somewhat younger and immature, he can't save face for his subordinates in some things.The manager in charge of the shopkeeper asked her to drink and eat in private, and it was difficult to refuse.But after eating and drinking together, it is inevitable to hear some right and wrong.If you can't see clearly, you will listen to what you believe.

She is mainly in charge of the account transactions of various shops and the transportation of goods by caravans and camels.In this way, either the account reconciliation is wrong, or dealing with the local Manchus and Mongolians is more catering to her preferences.

With the last batch of medicinal materials from Yangzhengtang transferred from the pass this year, the medicine shipment of Yangzhengtang this year has come to an end.Ji Lan is also the one who hasn't seen Tong Jiu all day.

In the evening, I had a simple dinner alone, watching the maids and servants inside and outside holding the lamps and lighting the lanterns.Ji Lan stood in front of the case with her hands on the stove, flipping through the Buddhist scriptures that Tong Jiu had copied these days, thinking about something on her mind.

Footsteps came from outside the door, drawing her attention back, the cotton curtain was lifted, and Hong Xiao came in short and slowly, saluting her.

Seeing that there was no one else behind Hongxiao, Ji Lan hesitated a little, and raised her hand to ask Hongxiao to sit down.He tugged at his hem, sat down slowly, and said calmly, "What kind of job did she get stuck in? It's about time, you went back alone?"

Hong Xiao took the hot tea and stove handed over by the little maids, and said, "The medicinal materials brought in from the customs yesterday were short by a lot of catties, and she is taking all the work in charge to check and check carefully."

"This batch of medicinal materials was transported monotonously from various files in the customs. From purchase to transportation, such a long journey, how could there be no loss." Regarding the shortage of catties after the caravan transported to the warehouse, Ji Lan has always been only I can open my eyes and close my eyes, but I have no power to control it.

"It must be much worse this time, and the last few trips are not only poor medicinal materials at the pharmacy, but also the silk cloth at Dazhengchang, and the tea leaves are the most lost. Brother Jiu said, let it go in the long run, the caravan I have developed a habit of stealing here, and I am afraid that they will even move the silver boxes of the Exchange House in the future."

Reminiscent of Tong Jiu's serious expression when he said this, Ji Lan said nothing, and smiled.

Looking down at the tea, he took a few sips before he said uninterestedly, "This batch of medicines is not a small number, just let the people below check it, and how about she herself staring at it all day and night?"

"I can't persuade you." Hong Xiao drank a cup of tea, and she became much warmer, so she raised her eyebrows with some spirits and said, "I'm a maid, how can I tell the master what to do in front of me? Or come back first to boil the water and make the bed, that's the best way." My part."

"Haha——." Seeing Hongxiao's serious expression, Ji Lan couldn't help giving her a contemptuous sideways glance, and finally couldn't help laughing and making fun of her, saying, "So, let's go to the back Come to point fingers at me?"

"Yo, how dare the servant." Hong Xiao got up, and said shallowly, "The servant is just a rough envoy who boils water and makes the bed. Madam—the servant does not dare to presume if there is madam's plan."

Ji Lan shook his head helplessly, then stood up from the chair, and said in a helpful way, "Ghost girl, I'd better save these plays for outsiders to watch. Well, I'll call her back for you right away." Wan Wan ordered the Fucha sisters outside to prepare warm sedan chairs, and said that he would go to the back warehouse to have a look.

It was already very cold in Baotou Mansion at night in early winter. Ji Lan was very unaccustomed to the dry and cold weather outside the customs and the endless piercing cold wind blowing all day long.

The bearers breathed the whitening cold air, and parked the sedan chair at the door of the main house, pressing it down.Ji Lan wore several layers inside and out, and as soon as he went out, he buried his face in the silver fox fur scarf, tightened his neck and tightened the mink cloak around him, and quickly stepped into the sedan chair.

Lanterns were hung high at the entrance of the warehouse, all the doors were open, and the inside was as bright as day.Just as I got out of the sedan chair, the voices of the servants inside singing the names of two catties of medicine came and went.

As he got closer, Ji Lan smiled again, as expected of Tong Da Accountant who checked the number himself.Even the yelling of the pair was concocted according to the tune of the accountant's account reconciliation.

There were a lot of people coming in and out, Tong Jiu stood in a corner of the warehouse with his hands folded, pacing back and forth slowly with his head buried, listening to the singing around him, he couldn't see the expression on his face clearly.

Ji Lan saw her sapphire blue sable fur Four-Happy hat at a glance, and saw that she was walking over in such a cold warehouse wearing only a stone blue cotton mandarin jacket.

Tong Jiu was still pacing, looking at the toes of her boots.Suddenly the singing around stopped abruptly, and when she raised her head, she saw Ji Lan walking towards her.Showing his hands from the cuffs, with a gentle smile on his face, he said slowly, "Come?"

Ji Lan nodded, and then nodded to the stewards who bowed to him, signaling them to continue their work.Turning around and asking Tong Jiu, "How bad is it?"

Tong Jiu took a part of the catalog from the small table in the corner and showed it to Ji Lan.Ji Lan flipped over a little bit, she probably knew what she was thinking, and her face was naturally a little cold.Looking at the several stewards in the warehouse who have weighed the points, they are a bit unfamiliar, and they should not be Yangzhengtang people.

"Let's go back." Ji Lan put down the goods book, retracted his cold fingertips and said, "You always say that you don't have to be afraid to settle the bill. Since the goods are already in this way, you don't have to worry about not being right for a while."

Then he raised a few more voices and said, "You have listened to me and reported to the officials, how much is the difference, and where is the difference, let the government investigate, and we will be relieved."

Looking at the crowd with different expressions on the scene, Tong Jiu sighed and said, "Let's go back."

After speaking, he rubbed his hands together, and smiled politely at Ji Lan, but his eyes showed that you are enough.

Ji Lan understood, tightened the collar of his cloak and walked out.Before getting on the sedan chair, he still didn't forget to take a look back at Tong Jiu, who was following, and there was a look in his eyes, I really don't want to care about your disdain.

Tong Jiu leaned over, pretending to be courteous to hold up the hem of the cloak for Ji Lan who was about to get on the sedan chair, but in fact she was pulling her cloak vigorously with her hands, not forgetting to tilt her head and look at the trapped in the sedan chair with a smirk. of Jilan.Eyes are full of jokes, why don't you go in.

Ji Lan turned around and looked at the hem of his cloak, then at the swaying Lao Gao's car curtain, heaved a sigh of relief, threw the stove in his hand into the car, grabbed Tong Jiu's ear with his backhand, and carried her straight into the car. Inside the sedan chair.

"It hurts, it hurts..." Tong Jiu whispered in the sedan chair, Ji Lan sat upright in the sedan chair, pushed Tong Jiu aside, and ordered, "Get up the sedan chair." The strength in her hands did not decrease at all.

Tong Jiu had no choice but to touch Ji Lan's hand that was still exerting strength, and said in pain, "I can't joke like this, it hurts——."

Ji Lan's hands warmed up, a little unnaturally, he let go of his hot ears, brushed her hands away, and said forcefully, "Open your ears, just make fun of it."

Tong Jiu rubbed her ear with one hand, tentatively took Ji Lan's hand back on her lap with the other, and said angrily, "Why are your hands so cold?" He didn't forget to boast, "Look at how hot I am, hotter than a stove?"

"Born with different physiques." Ji Lan tilted her head and replied lightly.I just felt that the hand holding her, from the beginning of holding it honestly, gradually began to caress.

Ji Lan stared at her before withdrawing her hand, but she saw that Tong Jiu was very focused, looking at the wrench on her thumb and pointing her eyes out.

"Remember what?" Ji Lan rolled his eyes and asked patiently.

Tong Jiu shook his head, brushed his thumb over the round finger, and said in a low voice, "This finger ring is pretty good, but for some reason, I just looked at it, and I felt really depressed."

"Be careful." Ji Lan gave a thumbs up, looked at the finger and said, "This is your finger, I exchanged it with the jade lock on your neck. You were so reluctant at that time, I didn't see you That face at that time seemed to be forced into prostitution by me."

"It doesn't matter what else, anyway, I don't remember." Tong Jiu shook Ji Lan's hand indifferently, and said, "I'm hungry."

Ji Lan knocked her hand down with a "slap", and said, "If you're that big, go pass some food when you're hungry. Is it useful to show me this starving look?"

"At any rate, I've been busy searching for medicinal materials for a long time, you—" Before Tong Jiu finished speaking, the sedan chair stopped, presumably at the place.Tong Jiu didn't want to argue with her too much, so she lifted the curtain and got out of the sedan chair sullenly.

The author has something to say: before and after the festival, there are a lot of social activities in the unit, and recently I have rhinitis again.

Drinking is not a serious matter, it's just catching up with rhinitis, headache, which affects thinking, so I temporarily put the update on hold.
