After the rebirth of Madam Hou Clan, her heart was sealed with cement

Chapter 11 Inspecting the shop, encountering robbers on the road

Tan Zhixu glanced back indifferently, "It's true that barking dogs are annoying."

After saying that, his eyes fell on Zhou.

Zhou's face darkened, how could she not understand that Tan Zhixu was mocking her!

She clutched the handkerchief and sneered: "My second brother and sister came early. I didn't know. I thought you were in charge of the shop itself."

Her words were thorny and sinister.

The maid behind Zhou also looked arrogant and arrogant, and Tan Zhixu didn't take it seriously.

"Sister-in-law, what you said is wrong. If others hear it, they might think that you are hoping that she will die soon."

Tan Zhixu said it directly, and Zhou's face became a little colder. Is this bitch saying that she is too ambitious?Want to monopolize power!
Tan Zhixu couldn't talk about it, and when Zhou was so angry that she couldn't speak, shopkeeper Liu came over with great foresight.

"Madams, tea has been prepared inside, please come inside."

He bowed his waist, Zhou glanced at Tan Zhixu disdainfully, and entered the house first.

Gu Yu pouted, "Miss, the eldest lady is obviously targeting you."

Otherwise, just leave this shop alone.

"She's targeting her, and your lady, I have plenty of ways to deal with it."

Gu Yu was also smart and rolled his clever eyes, "Miss, have you already thought of a countermeasure?"

Tanzhi Xu Yanran smiled, and Gu Yu's anxious heart instantly relaxed.

She walked in front and opened the curtain for Tan Zhixu.

The outside of the embroidery workshop was a little shabby, but there were a lot of good things in the accounting room. Tan Zhixu looked at the furnishings in the room carefully with his eyes darkened.

Shopkeeper Liu is a person who loves to enjoy himself. Even though he is middle-aged and has a fat belly, the things he buys are as careful and elegant as a woman's.

The elegant incense, the abacus inlaid with gold beads, and the white jade glazed cup for drinking water are all exquisite.

Mrs. Zhou was sitting on the main seat, flipping through the account book in her hand. She glanced at Tan Zhixu and said, "My second brother and sister don't know that this account book has a lot of tricks. If you can't understand it, you are blind." "

Tan Zhixu made a calculation and said, "Sister-in-law is right, so in the future, I need you to do more calculations for me."

Now that we've all broken up, there's no need to pretend anymore.

Mrs. Zhou looked at her coldly and said, "I made back the losses I suffered from silk last time with the help of you."

"There have been a few more businesses in the shop recently. I will be responsible for a few of them, and the rest will be yours."

She spoke softly and handed the record book in her hand to Tan Zhixu.

Guyu took it respectfully and handed it to Tan Zhixu.

When he opened it, he saw the familiar names on it that made Tan Zhixu's lips curl up slightly. The daughter of General Zhao's family, the legitimate daughter of Sun Shangshu, the daughter of Scout Zuo...

These few people are all difficult to maintain. They all have tricky personalities and domineering tempers. If they make the slightest mistake, they may have to pay for everything.

"The second younger brother and sister have many ideas and are smarter than my sister-in-law." After Mrs. Zhou finished speaking, she drank tea and patted the wrinkles on her clothes easily.

She had confessed everything she needed to. As for what Tan Zhixu did and what kind of punishment he suffered, she had no control over it.

"Sister-in-law is right."

Tan Zhixu didn't refute, and looked calm on the face, but in his heart he secretly remembered the customization requirements and embroidery style in the booklet.

These wealthy ladies in the past life didn't look down on her at first.

Even after the embroidery workshop was taken over by her, she still shouted not to wear widow's clothes.

It was her boss who reasoned with her, and her west family who gave her gifts and many benefits, in exchange for the smooth business that followed.

Just think of it as starting over, and she will do better than before!
Tan Zhixu encouraged himself secretly, and Zhou was already walking away proudly.

When Guyu was worried, Tan Zhixu walked up to Shopkeeper Liu and took out the written note. "Shopkeeper, I will rely on you more in the future. I must ask you to help me find these materials."

Shopkeeper Liu nodded respectfully, "What are you talking about, Second Madam? But whatever ingredients you want, I have to get them back to you even if I go to Daoshan."

Tan Zhixu smiled and said nothing.

When shopkeeper Liu's eyes fell on the note, he stayed where he was.

Cotton coarse cloth from Lingnan, gold silk from Jianghuai, and butterfly embroidery patterns from Beijing embroiderers...

Every item here is extremely difficult to find, and shopkeeper Liu's forehead suddenly showed beads of sweat, "Second Madam, this..."

"Shopkeeper Liu has always been well-connected and handles things properly. I believe you will be able to find them as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will be difficult to account for the clothes of those daughters."

"But if we find it, then the embroidery shop's business will improve, and everyone will naturally be better off."

Tan Zhixu showed his kindness and power, and shopkeeper Liu took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, "Yes, the second lady is right."

He reluctantly agreed, and Tan Zhixu thanked him and left with Gu Yu.

The crowd was noisy outside the street. Tan Zhixu walked through the streets and bought some seeds and pieces of meat.At the end of the day, I ran to the pastry shop on East Street to buy some pastries.

After almost all the items were purchased, Tan Zhixu took inventory and got into the carriage.

Guyu held a few taels of silver in his hand, "Miss, why do we need to buy so many things when we go to Zhuangzi?"

Just that meat, they had never eaten it during the days in the Hou Mansion.

Tan Zhixu lightly scratched her nose and said, "You'll know when the time comes."

Gu Yu pouted in confusion.

……

Three miles outside the city.

The carriage just entered the forest road, "bang-"

There was a loud noise, and Tan Zhixu and Gu Yu were frightened by the huge impact and fell forward.

Fortunately, Tan Zhixu managed to hold himself up in time, so he didn't fall too badly.She freed up one hand to help Gu Yu stand up.

"Are you okay?"

Tan Zhixu opened the curtain and looked outside. The wheel was stuck in the pit. The driver outside was silent. He might have fainted after falling.

"Miss…"

Rubbing his sore head, Gu Yu took a breath and wanted to see if Tan Zhixu was okay.

"Boss, I just saw that there are two beautiful women sitting in this car!"

A lewd voice came, and Gu Yu shrank, and she asked with a trembling voice: "Could we have encountered bandits?"

I have long heard that the nearby mountains are not peaceful. Bandits are running around. They have looted several villages and harmed many girls.

Unexpectedly, they were blocked by bandits just three miles out of the city.

Although Gu Yu was scared, she still stood in front of Tan Zhixu, "Little... Miss, I'm protecting you, run away!"

She said something, and a few rough laughs came from outside.

"Hey, little girl, you still want to run away?"

The men's wild laughter stopped, and a cold sword lifted the curtain of the carriage.

A big man with a terrifying scar on his face looked in, and his cloudy eyes immediately focused on Tan Zhixu.

"What a beautiful beauty! Boss, we have made a profit!" He laughed with satisfaction, and Gu Yu panicked: "Our lady is the wife of the Hou Mansion, you can't touch her!"
