I become a sage by eating books

Chapter 53
"Fifth Brother? Why did you come back so early? Shouldn't you be taking an exam at this hour?"

Zhou Chuanlin was checking the things needed for today's opening. When Ning An appeared in Ning's House, he paused in his eyes, and then immediately went up to meet him.

"After the exam, I just want to come back and take a look!" Ning An put the cloak aside and carefully looked at everything in the firm.

It has to be said that Zhou Chuanlin is a very capable person, he actually built his design perfectly.Well, very good, he is very satisfied.

"Exam, are you done?"

Zhou Chuanlin wondered if he had got the time wrong, but it was still early, so why did he finish the exam!He was planning to ask the coachman to pick him up, but he didn't expect him to come back first.

"Don't think too much, the exam is really over! Brother-in-law, are parents here?" Today is a big day for the Ning family, and the whole family must be tidy.Pingyao is the first step of the Ning family.

"Someone has already picked it up, and the time should be coming soon. Fifth brother is not tired, why don't you go to rest first, and I will call you when your father-in-law arrives." Now Ning An is not only Zhou Chuanlin's brother-in-law, but also his brother-in-law. The boss, so Zhou Chuanlin spoke to him very respectfully.

"No, I'm fine anyway, so I'll just wait here with you."

Seeing that Ning An insisted on Zhou Chuanlin, he didn't say anything more.After getting along with him for this period of time, he knew that Ning An was a very thoughtful person, and the decisions he made were always consistent.

"clap clap"

"Everyone stop being so busy, come and meet the owner of our firm."

Zhou Chuanlin clapped his hands and shouted instructions to the clerk in the firm.

Hearing the shopkeeper's order, more than [-] employees quickly stood in three rows.I saw that they were wearing the same clothes, the only difference was the work badges on their bodies.

"I've seen the owner!"

All of them smiled and saluted Ning An in unison. It seemed that they had not been short of training on weekdays.

"Hi everyone, my name is Ning'an, and I'm your boss. I don't care what you used to do, but since you have entered my Ning's firm, you must abide by the rules of my Ning's firm. As long as you keep yourselves safe and be yourself What should be done, I, Ning Family Firm, will not treat you badly."

Looking at the state of the employees, Ning An was very satisfied, but he had to beat what should be beaten, so as not to make people feel wronged.In the future, Ningjia Commercial Bank will go to the whole Dayong, and the rules that should be followed must be followed.

"Closely follow the host church." Twenty or so people looked at Ning An anxiously.They had heard from the shopkeeper a long time ago that the shopkeeper was a young and handsome boy, and when they saw him today, he was really handsome, and several little girls blushed with embarrassment!
Ningjia Firm is different from other firms. Half of the twenty-something employees are women, and there are a few unmarried girls among them.

They didn't want to show their faces to work, but their family was poor and they had to.

The wages paid by Ningjia Commercial Company are very high, one tael of silver per month, and I heard that if they do well, there will be additional rewards.At first they all came here with the mentality of giving it a try, but they did not expect to be admitted.

Fortunately, Ning's House was different from what they thought. Their female employees were only responsible for receiving female customers, which reassured them a lot.Although the Ning Family Firm has many rules, it is worthwhile to think of getting a tael of silver every month, no matter how hard and tiring it is.

While Ning An was speaking, Zhou Chuanlin led Ning Hai Deng's family and a group of people in grandiosely.Ning Hai and Deng Shi walked in the front, and Zhou Chuanlin accompanied them to introduce the layout of the firm to them.

Today, everyone in the Ning family specially put on new clothes, and the smiles on their faces were as bright as the spring sunshine.Listening to Zhou Chuanlin's introduction, Father Ning kept nodding his head.

"It's too big here, is this really our shop?" Father Ning couldn't help asking.

Mrs. Deng rolled her eyes at Father Ning and said, "What shop? An'er said it, it's called a commercial firm."

"That's right, it's called a business firm, look at my memory." Father Ning immediately corrected himself.

He looked at Deng Shi on the side, who looked like a scholar Deng Shi, and puffed up his chest.He is also a person of status now, so he can't lose his family's face.

Behind Deng Shi and Father Ning, followed by Ning Yong and Ning Lei, and finally Ning Yu and two sisters.Noticing that his parents had arrived, Ning An immediately stepped forward to support Deng.

"Father, mother!"

"An'er! Why do you..."

Ning An gave Deng a smile, signaling to reassure her.Deng understood, and didn't ask any more questions.Although she came from a low background, she had stayed in the prefect's mansion for a few years anyway, so she knew when to say something.

Ning An led them to all the employees and said: "This is your master and wife. In this firm, the master and wife represent the owner. You must be absolutely respectful, do you understand?"

"I have seen the lord and madam."

Where has Father Ning seen such a formation before, he was still in a daze for a while, master, is he the one you are talking about?Deng Shi lightly twisted his body, and only then did he react.

"Ahem, everyone, get up. I have nothing to say, you just need to do your job well." After finishing speaking, Father Ning took a special look at Mrs. Deng.And this link, why didn't Yumei tell him, he didn't say anything wrong just now, right?
"Yes, thank you for your teaching, Master."

Then Zhou Chuanlin introduced the rest of the Ning family one by one, and let them return to their respective posts after everyone had been introduced.

Looking at the performance of the Ning family, Ning An suddenly realized that he seemed to have overlooked one important thing. The Ning family should have some servants.

As noon approached, everything was ready, Zhou Chuanlin said, "Boss, the time has come, we should go out."

Zhou Chuanlin is a very sensible person. Although Ning An is his brother-in-law, he has not forgotten his identity because of this.

"Let's go."

Boom, gongs and drums, firecrackers blared, the sound was deafening, and soon attracted many onlookers, Zhou Chuanlin saw that it was almost time, and immediately stood up.

"Folks, good morning! My surname is Zhou, and I am the shopkeeper of this Ning's business. Today is the official opening day of our Ning's business. I hope everyone can join us!"

Hearing Zhou Chuanlin's words, the common people began to discuss in a hurry.

"Ning's firm, I haven't heard of it, hey, have you heard of it?"

"No!"

"The name is so strange, what does it sell?"

"Ning's firm, the owner's surname should be Ning, is there anyone surnamed Ning in Pingyao?"

"I don't know, he must be a foreigner!"

Just as everyone was discussing, Ning An came out from inside, followed by everyone's amazed exclamation.

What a handsome young man!

The young man is wearing a crescent white brocade gown, the cuffs are embroidered with golden silk auspicious clouds, and his waist is a sky blue and white jade belt with a white jade pendant hanging on it.The young man is slender, with three thousand blue silk gathered in a snow-colored jade crown, adorned with two pearls.His skin is very fair, and it shines with the pearls, and his bright eyes are like a pool of clear water, looking forward to shine.He is like the bright moon in the mountains, exuding a pure and clear breath.

"My God, what a handsome son, I feel like I'm going to faint."

"Me too, me too, man, he looks so good, I can't breathe."

"What to do, what to do, my male god is going to be replaced."

"Woooo, I want to marry him."

"Me too, me too."

"Don't rob me!"

"Why?"

……

Since taking Buddha Heart Fruit, Ning An's five senses have become much stronger.Hearing the girls' discussion, Ning An was a little proud.It's good to be handsome, and he has so many fans in a while.He cleared his throat and said:
"Uncles and aunts, little brother, little sister, I am the owner of Ning's firm, surnamed Ning and named An.

Today, our Ning's Commercial Bank opened, and I would like to thank everyone for taking time out of their busy schedules to visit our opening ceremony.

Regarding Ning's Commercial Bank, I know that everyone has many questions, so I will answer them one by one now.

First of all, my Ning family is an authentic Pingyao native, and my family lives in Wangjia Village, Pingyao.As for what our Ningjia Commercial Bank sells, it is still a hurdle to sell it.Now let's play a little game, I wonder if anyone is willing to participate. "

"I, I'm coming!" At this moment a big man came out from the crowd.

"Okay, just this big brother. Come and take out the things."

After Ning An finished speaking, an employee brought a wooden basin.

Ning An glanced at the big man and said, "Dare to ask big brother, do you usually kill pigs?"

The big man was taken aback, how did he know. "Yes, what's the problem?"

Ning An said: "No problem! Then dare to ask brother, are the clothes at home difficult to wash?"

The big man smiled shyly: "Of course it's difficult to wash. Every time I go home, my mother-in-law complains that my clothes are too dirty, ha ha!" After finishing speaking, the big man scratched his head in embarrassment.

Hahaha, everyone at the scene laughed.

Ning An also chuckled: "Brother, I have something here that can clean your clothes effortlessly. Would you like to give it a try?"

The big man said, "Why don't you dare, bring it here."

Ning An asked someone to hand him a piece of soap, and briefly explained how to use it. The big man understood and rubbed it a few times.God, all the dirt on the clothes is gone.

The big man rubbed his eyes, and asked incredulously, "This, what is this?"

Ning An said: "This is soap. It is something developed by our Ning's business. This product can not only clean clothes, but also smell good after washing. If you don't believe me, just smell it."

The big man asked with his nose, and it was true. "It's fragrant, it's really fragrant."

At this time someone asked: "Really, is it really that easy to use?"

Ning An said: "Of course it's true, if you don't believe it, just go up and try it and you'll know."

After listening to Ning An's words, people stepped forward one after another, and then they all made exclamations of wonder.

At this time, someone asked again: "Such a useful thing should cost a lot of silver?"

Ning An said: "My Ning family is a virtuous family appointed by the emperor, how could I do such a thing to harm the people. This thing only costs ten yuan."

"Shiwen, is it true?"

"You won't lie, will you?"

Just when everyone was talking about it, an old lady stood up.

"I can prove that Ning Wulang is not lying. I am from Wangjia Village. My daughter and son are both working in Ningjia workshop. Do you remember the fire kang? It was Ning Wulang who invented it, and their family was rewarded by the emperor for it." Well, this Ning Jiawulang is still an eighth-rank official personally appointed by the emperor, does he need to lie to you?

Don't even think about it, who is the Ning family developing this soap for? He is thinking of us people, and you actually doubt him.

All of you big men, you doubt this all day long, you doubt that, you don’t know how to love your own wife.Don't you know how cold the water is in winter, don't you know how painful it is for us women to wash clothes? "

Auntie's words touched the hearts of most of the women present.Men don't have a conscience, and ten pennies are still suspicious.Hmph, don't let my mother buy it, my mother insists on buying it today!
"You men just have no conscience. If you don't buy it for us, we will go by ourselves. Sisters, let's go!" Several women went to the store together.

Zhou Chuanlin smiled picturesquely, and greeted respectfully: "Ladies and gentlemen, please."

The welcome boy at the door of the business said with a smile: "Welcome!"

The women laughed, and they had a very good impression of Ningshi Trading Company.

Because of what the aunt said, the people present began to waver.Seeing someone go in again, everyone started talking.

That's right, they have nothing to cheat, it's just ten pennies.That auntie can say, the owner of this firm is the discoverer of the kang, and the hero of our common people, how can such a family come out to deceive people.

"Let's go, let's go in and see if it's really that easy to use!"

"Walk around, take a look, anyway, it doesn't cost money to look!"

Seeing people entering the store one after another, Ning An was stunned. I'm afraid this aunt was not invited by her brother-in-law. The effect is so good?
At this time, the voice of 009 sounded: Host, this aunt is not procrastination, it is the power of faith. In your modern words, this aunt is your diehard fan!

Ning An: Is this the legendary mother fan?
At this moment, one or two horse-drawn carriages stopped at the entrance of the firm, and a man dressed in luxury came out, and the sharp-eyed servant immediately greeted him.

"The Xu family in the capital wishes the Ningshi business a happy opening. They will give you ten pieces of brocade, a set of glazed cups, a pearl shake, a pair of original works by Mr. Wang, and 1000 taels of silver. Master Ning, this is a congratulatory gift from our young master, and he will arrive shortly thereafter. "

Ning An is overjoyed, it's really great that the righteous brother is here, and he's always worried that he won't be able to keep up!

Hearing these gift lists, the common people were stunned. It turns out that the Ning family still has contacts with the nobles in the capital. It seems that the friendship is not shallow. This is really a big deal.

Just then, another carriage stopped at the door of the firm. "The Xiao family in the capital wished Ning's business a happy opening. They gave away a pair of white jade horses, a South Sea red coral, ten pieces of brocade, one East China Sea pearl, and 1000 taels of silver."

The people were even more shocked, this Ning family actually still has friendship with the Xiao family in the capital, and that is the Xiao family of the five great families.God, this Ning family is gone!

Just when the hundred people thought it was over like this, another carriage came slowly. "The Xie family in the capital wished Ning's business a happy opening. They gave away a pair of emeralds and white jade, a golden Buddha, ten pieces of brocade, a box of antique calligraphy and paintings, and a thousand taels of silver."

The Xie family, it was the Xie family.The Xie family is an aristocratic family that has been passed down for hundreds of years. There are countless literary masters who have studied under the Xie family. How could the Ning family have something to do with them?God, it's too fantastical.

While everyone was shocked, a guard on a tall horse shouted loudly: "The Queen's order has arrived, and Ning'an will accept it!"
