My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 1
In March of the thirty-seventh year of Kangxi, in mid-spring, the capital.

People in the afternoon sun are drowsy.

As if the world had quieted down, so did Dong E's house in Xicheng.

Dagege Dong Eshushu sat in the study, tasting two bean-green glazed bowls, respectively.

A cup of milk tea, a cup of clear tea, the milk tea is mellow, but the clear tea is inferior, with a fermented astringent taste.

She smiled, her apricot core eyes were a little moist, and she was faintly excited.

It seems to be one step closer to financial freedom. Thinking of this, she took a pen and ink and started to record in her small notebook. The tea house...

supply...

Hangzhou—West Lake Longjing...

Suzhou - Taihu Lake Biluochun...

Huizhou - Huangshan Maojian...

Yunnan Pu'er...

And Fujian...

I don't know if oolong tea is out now...

Lack of capital, can only choose to send people to purchase.

Otherwise, it is the best choice to go directly to buy tea gardens for self-production and sales.

With the peace of the world, there are more and more teahouses in the capital.

However, the well-known teas that are familiar to later generations either do not appear or are not popular, and there is a lot to do.

Shu Shu was thinking about how to collect money and select people, when a servant girl, Xiao Chun, came in to pass on the message.

"Gege, I'll see you in the front yard, the treasurer of Shun'an Yinlou Hou."

Shun'an Silver House was originally owned by Shu Shu's mother.

At the beginning of the year, it was transferred to Shu Shu's name together with the tea house and became part of the future marriage.

It was Shu Shu who learned to take care of things, that's why shopkeeper Hou asked to see the little master directly.

In the side hall of the front yard, shopkeeper Hou sat on a stool and waited.

He was in his forties, shrewd and anxious, when he saw the little master coming in, he got up quickly.

"Gege, Gui Dan really sent someone to Beicheng Bingma to file a lawsuit against the Silver House for 'substituting inferior goods' and 'selling fake goods'... Is this lawsuit really going to happen?"

Shu Shu took his seat, and did not rush to reply, but asked in a deep voice, "Where is Wang Da? Did you take the confession and evidence?"

Shopkeeper Hou listened with a wry smile.

"It's already been recorded, and the fingerprints are pressed... An ungrateful thing, it has failed the master and Gege's respect, and the body deed is still in the master's name, just because of eighty taels of silver..."

Wang Da is the veteran of the silver building and is in charge of the silver building craftsman.

Most of the silversmiths in the building are his disciples and grandchildren.

Shu Shu was not surprised.

At the beginning of the year when she took over the silver building, she discovered the disadvantages of the silver building.

That is, the silverware craftsmen lose too much money during their work, and they lose seven or eight coins of gold and six or seven taels of silver every month.

But in fact, the loss of gold and silver processing is limited. After all, whether it is silver scraps or gold scraps, they can be processed twice, and they are still materials.

As the old saying goes, "When the water is clear, there will be no fish." Always let the people below have oil and water.

Shu Shu doesn't agree with this "old saying", and thinks it's better to distinguish rewards and punishments.

This appetite grows bigger and bigger, and it is easy to cause future troubles.

After all, this is a silver house business, so the so-called "loss" is real money.

At the craftsman workshop in early February, Shu Shu re-established the reward system.

The standard is "more pay for more work", and the loss also stipulates the scope.

Good news for other artisans.

As for Wang Da, there is no room for corruption, and there is no lack of private complaints about this "reform", and recently he has begun to slack off on errands.

Afterwards, Shu Shu planned to sort out the personnel affairs and solve Wang Da's corruption, when someone came to buy the silver building without shame,

It turned out that in the first lunar month, a new "Gold and Silver Shop" opened opposite the Shun'an Silver House, which also sold gold and silver jewelry, and the business was not as good as the old Shun'an Silver House.

Guo Luoluo Guidan, the nephew of Yifei's natal family, the owner of the Yinlou, wanted to swallow the Shun'an Yinlou under the guise of Brother Nine.

If brother Jiu came forward, he would admit that he would admit that he would let the imperial power be greater than the sky.

But this young boy from Guo Luoluo's family wants to buy a prosperous shop in Gulou at half price, it's just a dream.

If she backs down at this time, then anyone can greet Dong E's house in the future.

In the past few years, Shu Shu has not only been familiar with the "Great Qing Law", but also carefully understood the Eight Banners system of the Manchus.

Dong E's family is the founder of the country, and Manchuria is a red flag.

Shu Shu's father, Dong E Qixi, was also appointed by the emperor as the highest official of the Zhenghong Banner - the Manchuria Dutong.

As the daughter of a top nobleman, if she retreats from Gui Dan, a playboy, then anyone can bully her in the future.

At the beginning of the month, Gui Dan took Jiu Age, who was aliased as "Jin Erye", to the Shun'an Silver House, and asked to see the owner by name.

When Shu Shu went, she saw through Brother Jiu's identity, but she just pretended not to know.

Brother Jiu didn't say to buy a shop at a low price, but directly asked for the shopkeeper, and naturally they broke up unhappy.

Now, Gui Dan, who has submitted the certificate, is obviously unwilling to give up, and is still sneaking around in the Shun'an Bank Building.

There is only "a thousand days to be a thief", not "a thousand days to prevent a thief".

When Shu Shu got bored, he released a hook.

If Gui Dan has no bad intentions, he will not be fooled, but if he has bad intentions, he will only suffer the consequences.

Shu Shu is very bold.

Shopkeeper Hou, however, "the older the world, the less courageous", he couldn't help worrying more, and persuaded in a low voice: "It's better to reconcile, if we really want to go to court, the two families don't look good. After all, it's the concubine's natal family. There are also two grandchildren of the prince..."

Shu Shu thought for a while, but still shook her head.

"Even if there is a reconciliation, it's not the present... without going through the court, they will only think about robbery, how do they know that the law is ruthless?"

It is a good habit to abide by the law, just like Yinzi, knowing the law is her confidence.

While the master and servant were talking, a steward came to report.

"A soldier from the North City Bingmasi came to see the owner of Shun'an Yinlou. Madam asked Ge Ge to see him, or Madam to meet in person..."

"I'm going to see..."

Shu Shu said and looked down at himself.

Half-new and not old, it has a lotus-colored Ning silk casual gown with a stand-up collar, and a bat-pattern waistcoat with a satin bottom on the outside.

She sent the waiter away, and took the maid to the front yard by herself.

In the small hall of the sitting room.

The Deputy Commander of Beicheng Bingmasi Yamen waited for a while, but he didn't have the slightest temper.

Who told this place to be the Dutong Mansion!

This is not just the private residence of Dong E's family. With Qi Xi, the head of the family, taking up the post of Red Banner Manchuria's capital, this place will become the capital of Manchuria!
Officials crushed people to death.

The Eight Banners are all military officers of the first rank.

Even if a steward came out of the house, the deputy commander, the seventh-rank official, would not feel neglected, let alone seeing the rightful master, Dong E's big Gege.

After Shu Shu brought the maid over, they greeted each other, and the host and guest took their seats.

The deputy commander glanced at it, then moved his eyes away, not daring to look directly, with a very respectful attitude.

"My lord said, I'm afraid there may be a misunderstanding... The Eight Banners have relatives and relatives, and they are not outsiders. How can we really make a complaint in court? It would be better to mediate if it can be mediated."

Shu Shu looked very solemn, nodded and said: "Your Excellency's words are reasonable, but the silver house business has the most reputation, and we can't just tarnish our reputation...Even if we want to mediate, we have to withdraw the lawsuit and give compensation before we can talk about mediation."

The deputy commander immediately sweated his forehead.

If the plaintiff is willing to withdraw the lawsuit, what does the commander have to worry about?
After receiving the case this morning, the commanding officer sent himself to Guo Luoluo's house, wanting to ask Gui Dan's elders to dissuade him from this matter.

But Guo Luoluo's parents and seniors are all in Shengjing, and the remaining servants in charge are not qualified to discipline the young master.

The commander had no choice but to send himself to Dong E's house again.

See if you can take a step back and mediate first.

Who knew that Dong E's family was so blunt in their words, and the conditions they proposed were not only to withdraw the lawsuit, but also to pay compensation!

The deputy commander made his mouth bitter, still struggling.

"In the end, it involves two important matters, Da Gege, do you want to discuss with Mr. Dutong and Mrs. Dutong?"

Shu Shuxin calmly said: "Don't worry, my lord, the silver building is my private property, I can make the decision..." After finishing speaking, he picked up the teacup.

The deputy commander had no choice but to get up, bid farewell and leave.

Shu Shu restrained her smile and patted her forehead.

I always accidentally forget my current age and identity. In fact, how can I be self-sufficient?

It's better to make a report.
