Winning every step of the Red Mansion

130

After commenting on how the two wives of Zhang and Wang managed the shop this year, after deciding who was superior, Shi Feier sent everyone to leave, leaving only Jia Lian.

"Last time I asked you why you made so much money, can you figure out the answer today?"

Jia Lian tilted her head and asked, "If Lian'er doesn't come up with an answer, does it mean that the old lady will not keep her promise?"

"You little man, you haven't learned anything else, but you have learned to strike first?" Shi Feier laughed and said, "Don't worry, you won't be short of a penny. I just want to ask if you have an answer? "

Jia Lian stood upright, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Lian'er can't say well, let's talk to the old lady, if you make a mistake, please don't punish the old lady."

"If you have something to say, just say it." Shi Feier urged.

"According to Lian'er, reading can seek truth and truth. If you win the top prize, you can honor your family. It can be regarded as a great pursuit in life. In martial arts, you can seek courage and victory. If you want to fight on the battlefield in the future, it is also a great ambition. But Lian'er neither likes nor is good at these two things, reading Lian'er can't appreciate the joy of having a golden house in this book, and practicing martial arts doesn't have the understanding of great-grandfather." Jia Lian rubbed his little hands, tugged at the hem of his clothes, and secretly Glancing at Jiamu's face, seeing no difference, she continued, "It's interesting to gather the world's goods and trade them before leaving. Lian'er just thinks it's interesting for nothing else. If it's nonsense, the old lady will know it as soon as she hears it, so Lian'er can only tell the truth, rather than saying that Lian'er is for money, it's better to say that Lian'er likes to see that the money will increase from less to more."

Jia Lian said this quite frankly, Shi Feier was relieved.Originally, he was also afraid that he would be influenced by him, which caused Jia Lian to only want to hug money when he was young.But hearing him say that, I feel that he is really immersed in the fun of money changing from two to three in one life.To be a money master and not a money slave is the correct view of money.

Shi Feier thought for a while and said: "I just said that because of the appointment with you, the money will be given to you. But last time you said that you would buy the shares of Wangjiang Tower, you Think about it carefully? This is more than ten thousand taels of silver. Besides, it is not a fixed number of profits and losses after investing in the shares. But it can be exchanged for silver in hand, it is very practical, and you can sleep on your pillow."

Jia Lian frowned and said, "How can I sleep on that pillow? To make a living is to make a living. I just want to see how much money I can make in ten years' time?"

"You really can afford it." Shi Fei'er nodded: "I'll just follow you, and I'll put the money into shares for you. I'll give it to you when you get married."

After hearing this, Jia Lian waved her hands again and again: "No, no, if you marry a daughter-in-law with tight hands and easy money, she won't let her get all the money. It's better to keep it with the old lady, I don't worry."

Shi Fei'er was amused by Jia Lian's words, how old is she thinking about getting married?Don't be like a hungry ghost in a book.Let's see if we can pull it off this time.

Two days later, Shi Feier found Mrs. Zhang alone, handed over Fangshu's account books for these years to her first, took it through carefully, and explained the business situation to her, and finally released the account books. Fang Zi explained it carefully to her, and let her operate it alone again, and it was over.

"Now you know this prescription. You also know the situation of Fangshu's sales and operation, and everything related to it after today will be left to you to decide."

"Old lady, my daughter-in-law is also afraid that she won't manage well for a while."

"You don't have to be too modest. If there is anything you don't understand, it's not too late to ask me." Shi Fei'er said, "There is another thing. This Fangshu has been sold for several years now, and the profit in the future may not be as good as before. I think about it." What do you think about simplifying the production of this fragrant gargle and making some ordinary objects that are suitable for ordinary people to use?"

"What the old lady said is, just do what the old lady wants."

"It's just to discuss with you, so I need to listen to your opinion," Shi Feier said suddenly, "If it's all after my wishes, why bother to ask."

Seeing the slight displeasure on Jia Mu's face, Mrs. Zhang said: "Daughter-in-law has a worry. If I simplify it, I'm afraid it will disturb Fangshu's original sales. Second, I'm afraid that the small amount of investment will attract looting. The price has risen, and ordinary people can't buy it and use it."

"You are right. I am also worried about this. But there is a solution to this matter." After finishing speaking, Shi Feier took out a famous post, "This is the head of the Zhang family. Although the Zhang family is not an imperial merchant, But there are many stores, and the family has been in business for several generations. Although the people are shrewd, they keep their duty. I think it will save us some trouble if this thing cooperates with them. We only care about the production and production, and let them do the sales. Just do it."

Mrs. Zhang nodded: "It's not bad, just think about it carefully, so as not to cause anything else."

"I'm more at ease if you do this. Think about what else you need, and we'll discuss it later."

Mrs. Wang was heartbroken in the house.After a year of hard work, they made connections and offered money, but in the end they lost for nothing.But this loss made him unable to say anything.On the contrary, there was a bunch of anger in my heart, and I couldn't vent it.

That's not enough, but the shopkeeper of Xue's shop is also ignorant.Probably because he got the letter, he asked Mrs. Wang several times when she would fulfill her old promise.Mrs. Wang was naturally annoyed.Sitting alone in the room sulking.

It so happened that the elder sister came to greet his wife after school, and when she saw that her wife was worried, she hurriedly offered words of comfort. "Madam, don't worry about such trivial matters. It's not worth being angry with yourself."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang had to complain a few words. Seeing this, Yuan Chun said: "Madam, think about it carefully. Although this matter seems to be of great benefit, it is actually a hard-earned money. Now there is only one family in Heng Hui Pavilion in Beijing. You The two shops run by the eldest wife are not considered branches now. The rest of the dozen or so shops are all in Waifu. I see the old lady is so busy with the delivery and payment every month, I am always worried, afraid I accidentally made a mistake." Yuan Chun said suddenly: "In Yuan Chun's opinion, it is a good thing not to accept this matter."

Mrs. Wang pointed Yuan Chun's forehead with her finger: "You little girl, you speak lightly when you touch your lips. Do you know how much this [-]% bonus is worth? It's tens of thousands of taels of silver a year. I would rather Go with worry."

"Madam, in this mansion, we have enough food and clothing, so why bother?" Yuan Chun was somewhat puzzled.

"You are still young, so of course you don't know. In the future, when you get married and take care of the house, you will know the hard work. If nothing else, just say that you spend money on food and clothing. Why don't you need to take care of it?" Mrs. Wang sighed. , I thought to myself, I still have to figure out how to get this recipe.Otherwise, thinking about the tens of thousands of taels of silver in that year, I feel distressed.

Seeing that his persuasion was fruitless, Yuan Chun also sighed. He didn't think that more money would help, but if he chose by himself, he hoped that it would be less troublesome.

Mrs. Wang sent someone to inquire about Fang Zi, but after three days, she still found nothing.On the contrary, Jiamu sent someone to come, without saying anything else, just sent a wooden box to Mrs. Wang, without leaving a word, and without saying much, they left.

Mrs. Wang was a little confused, looking at the small sandalwood box, it was simply made, but there were four words "again and again" written on the top of the box, Mrs. Wang was puzzled, and opened the box, there was nothing special inside. There are a few letters.

Mrs. Wang opened the letter and looked at it, she was dumbfounded immediately.After trembling for a long time, he hurriedly folded the letter and threw it back into the box.

It turned out that this letter was not written by someone else, it was written by Mrs. Wang herself, and this letter was addressed to her own sister in the Xue family.The letter was quite early, and the most important one mentioned that he wanted to steal Fangshu's prescription.

How long ago it was!Mrs. Wang naturally understood that this was a matter of discussing with Xue's family to use second-best as good, but Jia's mother found out and forced herself to write to Xue's family to recover the profits!Later, when the Dongchuang incident happened, Mrs. Wang was angry but she had no choice but to follow Jia Mu, but she had to write a letter to explain to Xue's family.

But how did this letter get into Jiamu's hands?Why didn't I get into trouble after holding it in Jiamu's hands for so long?How much does Mother Jia have?The more Mrs. Wang thought about it, the more panicked she became, but she couldn't ask about this matter, so she turned around in a hurry.

Yuan Chun was surprised to see his wife like this after school.But I don't know why, and it's not easy to ask questions.Glancing at the words on the wooden box, he murmured in a low voice: "Once again, again, again, again?" Suddenly he realized, this is obviously a warning to repeat, not to repeat.

I don't know what my wife did?Let people use this method to wake them up?Yuan Chun became suspicious, and it was not easy to ask further questions.Taking a closer look at the box, it looks like something in the old lady's house.Then look at the wife flushing and anxiously fidgeting in the room.Although Yuan Chun didn't look at the contents of the box, he knew that this matter was by no means a trivial matter.

Yuan Chun was startled, and quietly left the house to look for Jia Mu.At this time Mrs. Wang was already in a state of anxiety, and she didn't care to say anything more to Yuan Chun. After all, there were many complaints about Jia's mother in this letter, but it happened that the page of the letter was not in this box. How can Madam not be in a hurry.

Yuan Chun went to Jia Mu's place, and when she saw Jia Mu sitting alone drinking tea, she knelt down on the ground.

Shi Feier took a sip of tea and was in a daze, when she came back to her senses, she saw Yuan Chun kneeling on the ground with reddish eye circles, she was startled, and hurriedly cried out.Yuan Chun knelt down and kowtowed to Jia Mu before saying, "Today Yuan Chun came to plead on behalf of my mother, please forgive my wife for Yuan Chun's sake."

Shi Fei'er was taken aback and asked, "Why are you doing this? Besides, how can you apologize for your mother's mistakes? It doesn't make sense."

"Old lady, after all, mother and daughter are united. Although I don't know the reason, I guess this matter must have angered the old lady. I hope the old lady will forgive me for the sake of the old relationship."

"But your wife asked you to come?"

"No, Yuan Chun voluntarily."

"This is even more wrong. The rules of the mansion are to punish those who are at fault. It's not okay to take the punishment for others. You just get up. If you are still stubborn, I will punish the wrongdoer." Hearing what Jia Mu said, Yuan Chun He got up quickly, but there was still a little anxiety on his face.Seeing him like this, Shi Feier said: "You came here to plead for mercy since you don't know the reason. I really feel that you are smart and filial. But do you know that there are some things you can plead for mercy, and some things you can't?"

Yuan Chun shook his head.Seeing this, Shi Fei'er said: "That's all. Even if you beg for mercy, you have to clarify the right and wrong. I don't want to talk too much with you today. It's just that you can help me bring a word to your wife."

Yuan Chun nodded: "Please tell me, old lady."

"Again and again, not again and again. Today is the last warning, if there is any more, I will not give anyone's face. Go back and persuade your wife, do things more for your elder brother Zhuer and you , Don’t make the same mistakes again and again! Ansheng has lived for five years, and the old things will be returned.”
