Chapter 86 Three Shops
"Everyone in this world is different. Some people are inherently good, some do evil, some are selfish, some serve the country and the people, some live frankly and fearlessly, and some live carefully Be cautious, some people can’t help themselves, some people are thoughtful, and some people just want to please themselves... In short, there are tens of millions of people in the world, and they may have thousands of thoughts about the same thing. We don’t know why others would Think and act like this, but they must have their own ideas. This idea may be right or wrong, but people tend to stick to their own ideas first. When political opinions are different, it is like two forces in a game. In the end, whoever wins and loses depends on the method and strategy." Lin Shuran seriously preached to the children of the Xu family word by word.

Xu Mingchen and the others still half understood, but they all firmly remembered what Lin Shuran said.

At this point in the family meeting, Lin Shuran announced the suspension. After all, it was the first time to discuss the court affairs with the children. I just wanted to make them think more about the problem. It was too early for them to discuss in depth. There will be opportunities in the future Well, she also wanted to use this discussion to let them understand Xu Junze's practice of handing over the property.

Although the family meeting was over, the shock left to the children of the Xu family was quite big. After returning, they worked harder in studying and practicing martial arts.

However, the Xu family began to encounter more problems. First of all, there were accidents in the three shops of the Xu family in the capital.

Although Xu Junze is a general, he has a lot of salary and money, and the emperor's rewards are also a lot, but he only cares about official business, except for the money in the mansion for the daily expenses of the Xu family's children and some expenses in the mansion, he takes all the extra money I don't know what to do when I go out, it's not like other mansions to buy land and open shops everywhere, not counting her dowry shop now, the Xu family only has three shops in the capital.

One is a pharmacy that only sells medicine, the other is a liquor store that only sells alcohol, and the other is actually a grocery store. The business is really not very good, and the monthly cash flow is even more pitiful.

But even so, because of the new decree, the three shops of the Xu family can't even make a penny.

The shopkeepers of the last three shops came to the mansion anxiously to meet Lin Shuran, the housewife, and said that they were limited in their abilities and could no longer serve as shopkeepers.

"The three of you don't want to work in Xu's house anymore?" Lin Shuran met the three shopkeepers in the hall. They kept their heads down and didn't dare to look at her. They seemed very restless and nervous. Are you so scary!

"Small incompetence, I beg my wife to choose someone else!" The three shopkeepers simply knelt down to Lin Shuran with a "plop", and kowtowed to her.

These three shopkeepers are not slaves of the Xu family, and they are free to come and go in the Xu family. Lin Shuran didn't blame them too much. Even if they didn't tell the truth, she could probably guess the reason behind it, and there must be someone Pressure was put on them in the dark.

Lin Shuran called the housekeeper, Xu An, and asked him to settle the wages of each shopkeeper, and pay them two months' wages extra, thanking them for their dedication to Xu's shop for so many years, and then asked Xu An to personally send them out. the door of the mansion.

"Miss, this shop has lost its shopkeeper, what should we do in the future?" After the three shopkeepers left, Madam Zhang was very worried. Now the outside houses are very resentful towards Xu's family. Xu's family has lost their land, and the shop cannot be established. Business, how will the whole family live after this?Is it really necessary to supplement the dowry of the young lady?There are thirteen sons in this Xu family, Zhang Nanny can faint just thinking about it.

"If you don't have it, look for it again. As long as we are willing to pay the wages, why can't we find the shopkeeper? If it doesn't work, we can find our own servants to go to the shop!" Lin Shuran didn't think it was a big deal, since the three shops were not big Well, the money earned in a month is not as good as the three-day income of the firework chef, but it is the property of the Xu family, so it still has to be kept.

"Miss, it's not that you don't know that there are few servants in the General's Mansion. If you go to the shop, there will be no one available in the mansion!" Although Madam Zhang helped Lin Shuran manage the inner house, she and the General Xu Junze has a quiet temperament, so there are not many servants in the mansion, so he just added attendants for the young masters of the Xu family, but they are all children who are about their age, and they can't do much in the mansion.

"Don't worry, Mommy, the shop should be closed for a while now. It's the time of national mourning, so it's normal for the business to be bad!" Lin Shuran knew that even if a new shopkeeper was found, the business would not be able to continue. The Xu family is an upstart in the capital. The foundation is basically superficial, those people are not good at dealing with the emperor and the government of Zhenguo, so naturally they have to attack the Xu family.

"If madam believes in slaves, slaves can find some people to be shopkeepers temporarily!" After Zhang Nanny left, Hong Gu suggested Lin Shuran's frown tightly.

Lin Shuran raised her head and looked at Hong Gu in surprise. She didn't expect her to say this suddenly. She hesitated in her heart. In fact, it doesn't matter whether the store has a shopkeeper for the time being. If she has been in contact with people she knows for a longer period of time, she will be able to get news about Uncle Wu.

So, she smiled gratefully and said, "I'm afraid not many people are willing to enter the Xu family's gate at this time. If the people Hong Gu said are willing to come, it will really help me a lot."

"Ma'am, don't worry, these people are the servant's friends, they will do their best for the Xu family just like the servant!" After finishing speaking, Hong Gu gave a salute and left.

But Lin Shuran looked at her back when she went out, pondered what she said, and always felt that what Honggu said had a different meaning. Could it be that she has some relationship with the Xu family?
Two days later, Honggu led three people in, two men and one woman, they all seemed to be ordinary and well-behaved people, but their eyes and demeanor were calm and sharp, and they had something similar to Honggu's. Similar things don't seem to come from Xiaojiahu.

Honggu introduced the three people to Lin Shuran as Jinliu, Jingniang, and Uncle Mo. Among them, Jinliu was the youngest, just over 20 years old. He had been a medical student for several years and was also Honggu's apprentice. can.

Jingniang is younger than Honggu, she lost her husband and had no children in her early years, and she also helped sell wine at her husband's house, so the wine shop can be entrusted to her to take care of it.

Uncle Mo is an idler, he used to travel around selling groceries, and he is just qualified to be the shopkeeper of the grocery store in the house.

Lin Shuran didn't expect that the three people Honggu found for her were so suitable. Even if she went to find such a shopkeeper, she might not be able to find such a suitable person. It was really a coincidence that someone gave her a pillow when she was sleepy!
