Chapter 395 The unavoidable grievances

Xiao Wujin deliberately kept Wei Xiaozhi and others in the cold for a few days. What's wrong with the simple meals? Wei Xiaozhi was used to fine clothes and fine food, and didn't understand the suffering of the people, so he thought of rebelling!

After hearing the report, Wei Xiaozhi was shouting again, and Xiao Wujin looked as usual.

"What's going on outside now?"

"The people sent out came back and said that the official roads were like standing cards, causing the merchants and people passing by to complain." The guard reported back, "No one came to Liangzhou to discuss the future of these three governors. My lord, tell me, are they? Abandoned!"

"It will take a few more days. After all, Ganzhou is a long way away." Xiao Wujin said calmly, which also exhausted Wei Xiaozhi's patience. As for the other two, there is nothing to be afraid of!

"Sir, the housekeeper is asking for an audience with Mr. Peng." Outside the study, Luneng also came to report.

Xiao Wujin asked the previous guards to retreat and met with the housekeeper and Peng.

"Sir, I am also troubled by Mrs. Peng and have no choice. Madam has found a cook for her small kitchen so that Mrs. Peng and others do not have to go there. Mrs. Peng feels that Madam is trying to drive her away." The housekeeper was a little worried. Said helplessly.

"Sir, did this old slave do something wrong?" Mrs. Peng's eyes were swollen from crying, and she was a little uneasy.

Xiao Wujin really didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the inner house. Perhaps he was usually very negotiable and kept all the servants of the former governor, which made people feel that he could accommodate everything!
"Madam is a noble girl from a well-known family in the capital. She has a rich family. She is used to the food at home. I just want her to find a cook by herself." Xiao Wujin said bluntly, "You can just go back to the original kitchen and work."

"Sir, my wife is married to an adult. How can I let my wife act so extravagantly?" Mrs. Peng disagreed a little, "Marrying a chicken will follow the chicken, marrying the dog will follow the dog..."

"That's enough. I don't need you to comment on my family affairs!" Xiao Wujin interrupted Peng's words and frowned slightly. "Butler, please don't come to talk to me about these matters in the future. You have full authority to take charge of them. Just remember that my wife's words are my words, and I agree with any decision she makes."

Xiao Wujin's strength made Peng stop choking, and she looked at Xiao Wujin as if she didn't believe it.

"Let's go, let's go. Your Majesty has a lot of official work. Don't talk about the affairs of the back house at the front." The housekeeper urged Peng to leave.

"Madam didn't let you leave the Governor's Mansion. Why are you aggrieved? Just work as before!"

Xiao Wujin didn't pay much attention to this and was busy arranging the following matters.

Shen Ru was running around, and the shops were ready, just waiting for the goods to be opened.

In the cotton pad workshop, Shen Rulian's aunt was counting the current inventory and planning how much goods would be sold in the shop.

Bai Qianqian is really studious and stays aside. From the initial resistance to these things, now the urge to make money has overcome the initial prejudice and has become her entire motivation.

"Aru, you are really busy. When will this shop open? Then I will ask my sister to bring Xuanxuan to join in the fun. The main thing is that they all miss you!" Aunt Lian took the time to say.

"Also, is it not peaceful in this city? There are many more official errands coming and going on the streets than last month."

Shen Ru nodded and said truthfully: "There is some unrest. The main reason is that people outside are jealous when they see the people in Liangzhou living and working in peace and contentment and want to cause trouble."

"Then your shop will be open at this time..." Aunt Lian thought it was not a good time!

"Customers who bought cotton pads before have all come to me to ask for the goods. The governor's office is afraid to enter and urges me to open the shop earlier!" Shen Ru said with a smile: "The shop has been sold and the inside has been painted. , the containers have also been laid out, and once they are opened, just sell the goods slowly, I am not in a hurry."

Even the aunt didn't say much after hearing this. After checking the inventory with Shen Ru, she asked when it would open. "Three days later, I have seen the future." Shen Ru said, "Cui Xidu is already recruiting people in the shop!"

After taking stock of the cotton pads, Shen Ru took Bai Qianqian to Mrs. Mo's place.The workshop has been divided into two areas. One side is for sewing cotton pads, and the other side is for cutting and sewing underwear.

The tailors were also hired by Mrs. Mo herself. These underwear have very little fabric, so they can be cut and sewn according to the same pattern, which is quite productive.

Mrs. Shen Rumo also checked the inventory and asked Bai Qianqian to tell her how much goods she planned to sell in the shop.

After the work in the workshop was over, Shen Ru took Bai Qianqian to the shop again.

"Yuejifang, Shen Ru, I've wanted to ask you for a long time, do you mean to please yourself by Yueji?" Bai Qianqian has become much more capable after a few days.

"Yes, the things I sell are all to make women feel comfortable, Bai Qianqian. If the items in the store make you feel a little unattractive, then you can think about what to add in the future."

"I don't think so now. I just think the pads and underwear are a little lacking. Why not add something else?"

"For example?" Shen Ru asked.

"Embroidery, why don't you sell some embroidery?" Bai Qianqian asked, "Actually, it's right to sell rouge and gouache like Qiaoyanfang, but I don't know much about these."

"As for embroidery, I can embroider it myself, but it would be better to spend that time to find some embroidery." Bai Qianqian continued, "Shen Ru, didn't you say that Shen Ping and her mother run an embroidery workshop? ?"

Shen Ru looked at Bai Qianqian and had a good idea.

"Let's do this. Currently, the shop only sells underwear and cotton pads. You will be the shopkeeper and you will be paid ten taels of silver per month. And if you can handle the embroidery business, I will give you [-]% of the shop's profits."

Bai Qianqian was stunned, [-]%. The previous order was from Yanxia Pavilion, only ten taels. After excluding the cost, she didn't know how much profit there was, but the little things add up...

"I will try. If it doesn't work there, I will also find suitable embroidery." Bai Qianqian immediately became motivated!

Shen Ru looked at Bai Qianqian approvingly, it's good if you have this intention.

"Madam!" Cuixi met some of the female workers pushed over by Yaxing in the shop, leaving two behind, waiting for Shen Ru and the others to come and confirm.

"Zisu and Lianhua came here as refugees. I've talked with them. They both have a serious heart for doing things and are very articulate. Madam, let's take a look." Cui Xi introduced the two young faces to Shen Ru.

"Bai Qianqian, you will be the shopkeeper here from now on, just take a look!" Shen Ru handed over the job to Bai Qianqian.

Bai Qianqian is not reserved at all. The eldest daughter of the Bai family has been carefully raised, so she doesn't even have the ability to look at individuals.

"Cui Xi, we will start selling goods here tomorrow. You and Bai Qianqian will support the shop together first. When Bai Qianqian can start independently, you can let go." Shen Ru also told Cui Xi that this shop , she is in charge of Bai Qianqian.

"Cui Xi understands!" Cui Xi nodded and responded, "Madam, the second lady passed by here before and stopped for a while. I think she is going to cause trouble in the future."

"Oh, what a coincidence!" Shen Ru chuckled, "It seems that this grudge cannot be avoided!"
