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

Chapter 4: In business, the one with the highest price wins
The room was empty, the door creaked loudly as Gu Huaijing pushed it open, and there was the sound of horse hooves outside the store. She followed him by surprise, watching the figure of the angry horse in bright clothes from a distance until it completely disappeared.

Tan Zhixu rubbed his sore eyes and thought it would be best if he gave up.

After sorting out his emotions, he returned to Lin'an Marquis' Mansion.

As soon as she stepped through the door, Nanny Huang next to the old lady blocked her, "Second Madam, the old lady has been waiting in Jing'an Hall for a long time."

Tan Zhixu was confused, but on the way he saw the boy beside Song Yunxi leaving in a hurry, with a clear look on his face.

"Daughter-in-law, please give my regards to the old lady."

Mrs. Song didn't ask her to get up. She slowly took a sip of tea and looked at her for a long time. "Did you do something shameful with this outfit?"

Tan Zhixu knelt down on his knees in an orderly manner and said seriously, "I left the house today without permission to go to the Xishi embroidery workshop to investigate the situation. Erlang has gone to avoid ostentation in the market, so he dressed up like this."

"Oh? But how did I hear that you and Mr. Gu were alone in the same room, chatting for a cup of tea?" Mrs. Song's eyebrows were upside down with sharp eyes, staring fiercely. Tan Zhixu’s eyes.

She had investigated Tan Zhixu before marrying into the Hou Mansion, so she naturally knew her relationship with Gu Huaijing.

Tan Zhixu knelt straight and said seriously, "Master Gu is the canal admiral. Most of the goods in the shops under the Marquis's name need to be transported by sea. Today's meeting was purely accidental, so I want to know more about sea transportation."

"My daughter-in-law believes that although the embroidery workshop is not very profitable, if we stock up more goods during good times, we will not only save money on shipping taxes, but we can also seize the opportunity to make profits."

"What is a good time?"

"As we all know, most of the customers who come in and out of the embroidery shop are women, and they are easily influenced by the popular styles in the capital. What we have to do is to become the popular style."

After hearing this, the old lady mocked, "Who do you think a noble lady in the capital is? How can everyone listen to you?"

"You only need to publish some benefits. If more people buy, it will naturally arouse the curiosity of the lady, and take this opportunity to introduce the experience and try it. The embroidery workshop is not that the materials are not good, but that it has not chosen a suitable buying and selling method. We have thrown out a few pieces in the early stage New products are pre-sold with a deposit. It is said that rare things are more valuable, so noble ladies will naturally rush to buy them."

Tan Zhixu's words caused a flash of surprise on the old lady's face, and she praised, "You are so ingenious."

"I have married into the Song family, so naturally I will devote myself to the Hou Mansion."

When the old lady heard this, her eyes towards Tan Zhixu softened a lot, and she glanced at Aunt Huang.

Nanny Huang smiled and raised her eyebrows, "Old Madam naturally believes that Second Madam's heart is towards the Hou Mansion. There are always some people who like to gossip. I will let people smash those people's mouths."

After that, he raised his head and called Gu Yu, who had been waiting outside for a long time, and said, "Hurry up and help the second lady back to the courtyard to rest."

"Thank you, old lady."

Tan Zhixu endured the pain in his knees and limped back to the courtyard with Gu Yu's help. When he was about to reach the door, he saw Chun'er beside the old lady leading Zhou to Jing'an Hall.

The corners of her mouth immediately curled up slightly, and the hot swelling and pain on her knees had mostly subsided.

It didn't take long for the housekeeper to pass the message. Zhou took the initiative to take over the embroidery workshop in Xishi. From now on, Tan Zhixu did not have to interfere with the embroidery workshop's affairs.

"What is the purpose of the young lady telling the old lady these clever plans? Is it just to sell the eldest lady a favor?" Gu Yu looked puzzled.

Tan Zhixu smiled faintly, gently cut off the extra buds of the potted plant, and said, "Just take a look. Is the silk I asked you to order before ready?"

"It's settled, what is the use of so much silk, Miss?"

Gu Yu felt that the young lady was becoming more and more mysterious. Tan Zhixu did not answer, put down the scissors in his hands, and looked up at the clear sky.

Gu Yu was helpless, the master he chose had to be pampered even on his knees.Tan Zhixu asked in confusion, "Why haven't you come so late for today's lunch?"

Gu Yu nuzzled at the wowotou on the table.

Tan Zhixu's expression froze, "Is there not a single bit of moon silver left?"

"Although silk is in peak season this season, the quantity requested by the lady is too large, and the money previously spent on jewelry has been used up."

Tan Zhixu grabbed a steamed bun and stuffed it into Gu Yu's hand, and took a bite himself, "Just watch, there is still wealth and wealth waiting for you later."

Since then, the reputation of Xishi Embroidery Shop has been established. The eldest lady used Tan Zhixu's method of buying new models and giving away old ones to attract a lot of customers. The limited pre-sale has won the favor of many noble ladies from aristocratic families.

In just one month, Mr. Zhou made a lot of money, and the smile on his face never dimmed.

Song Yunxi looked at the accumulated amount on the bill and couldn't help but sigh, "Madam is really good at it! What more can a husband ask for when he has a wife like this?"

Mrs. Zhou smiled proudly and said, "I didn't expect that the second roommate could come up with such a clever plan, but I underestimated her."

Song Yunxi's eyes were filled with the money he had received, and he chuckled, "I heard that this is just a deposit for the goods ordered. The balance has not yet been settled, and the profit will be doubled after settlement."

"That's natural. After this batch of goods is sold, the reputation of Houfu Embroidery Workshop is unique in Beijing, and the benefits will continue to flow."

The big room was filled with beautiful fantasies. Suddenly, the housekeeper hurried over with a look of panic on his face.

"Madam! It's not good! There are floods in the south of the Yangtze River. Tens of thousands of acres of fields have turned into ponds. Silk is out of stock!"

Zhou's face turned pale and she stood up suddenly, "How can this be done! The quantity of goods ordered is extremely huge!"

The shopkeeper of the embroidery shop also rushed over, "Madam, there is a family in the capital that can produce silk, but I heard that the embroidery shop in Dongshi has also gone to negotiate with her!"

In the small courtyard, Tanzhi Xu Youzai was lying on the wooden couch, holding a piece of steamed bun in his mouth and chewing it again and again, and he tasted a bit of sweetness.

News of the sudden change in the embroidery workshop spread throughout the Hou Mansion, and Gu Yu immediately knew Tan Zhixu's intention to purchase silk.

She suppressed her blush and ran to Tan Zhixu, and said in surprise, "How did the young lady know about the floods in the south of the Yangtze River? Could it be that she is a clairvoyant?"

The wooden couch shook slightly, and Tan Zhixu lazily raised his eyelids, "Xu Shierlang felt guilty for me. He gave me a dream a few days ago, telling me about the floods in the south of the Yangtze River."

Gu Yu murmured, "Second Master is really a good ghost."

Wanxing Restaurant, Tianzihao Room.

Tan Zhixu was hiding behind the door curtain with Gu Yu, wearing a scarf. As soon as Zhou came in, he pretended to beg to buy silk.

Gu Yu replied according to Tan Zhixu's intention, "What did the boss say? Nowadays, silk is a precious commodity. Who does my young master meet who doesn't sincerely ask for it?"

Mrs. Zhou gritted her teeth and said, "You should also know who I am. If you are willing to sell the silk to me, the Hou Mansion will naturally not treat you badly."

Guyu sneered and said, "In business, my son is a businessman. If the boss wants to discuss official matters, just turn around and leave."

“Then how are you going to sell us silk?”
