businesswoman's wife

Xu Xiuyi has not been in a good mood since she came back from An Chengshao. In the Baoning Hall, since it has not yet opened and there is no one there, she is sitting alone in the account room, her mind is a little empty, and her expression is a little dazed.

When Ah Fu came in, she was taken aback.

"Third grandma, why are you here?"

Only then did Xu Xiuyi return to her senses. Seeing that Ah Fu was holding several ledgers in his hand, he asked, "Are you in the shop?"

Her tone was very gentle, and Ah Fu blushed. In fact, she had long been in love with Xu Xiuyi, but she knew that she was humble and did not dare to blaspheme. When she saw Xu Xiuyi, she was like a young man with a hairy head, and she always blushed.

"Well, I hired a cashier. I'll show him the ledger. It's about to open soon. I always have to arrange things in the store."

Ah Fu is a capable person. He used to be an apprentice. Now Xu Xiuyi has promoted him to be a master, and he has also made him a "personnel director". He is asked to do all the recruiting in the store.

He is really good. In less than ten days, he recruited a lot of people. Three of the elite and four of them were reduced. Those who came together came together, leaving a few smart, capable and experienced. Now they have arranged positions, Xu Xiuyi does things to Ah Fu, is assured.

When she got up, she smiled slightly: "Thanks to all of you, the store is entirely up to you in the past few days. In two days, the uncle will come to the counter, and the people below ordered him to ask him for twelve. The respect that is given is the same as the previous Second Master, and must not be neglected."

Ah Fu hurriedly said, "It's natural."

"The uncle's head is on the counter, and he always has to show his medical skills. Only outsiders can know about our Su Family Baoning Hall. Our Su Family's medical skills are not only the second master of the Su Family, so on the first day of opening, you When I went to Zhangbang, I said that Baoningtang opened a free clinic, provided porridge and medicine, and I must make the movement louder and start the brand of our Baoningtang well."

A'Fu admired Xu Xiuyi quite a bit. A daughter's family has so many thoughts, and the layout of the shop is well-mannered. Every move is very novel, but it has to be said that it is a good move.

Alfred nodded and took note.

"Yes."

Xu Xiuyi watched the sky turn dark outside, and knew it was time to go back, she told Ah Fu again: "Brother Guan and their families, don't be slack, it looks like it's summer, I'll pay for it myself, and make a suit for no one. Clothes, you will have someone measure the figure of the old man tomorrow, and I will ask Jin Yu to go to the clothing store and report it."

"Grandma is kind-hearted." Ah Fu sincerely praised that Xu Xiuyi was generous, generous, informal, forthright, kind, decisive and firm in doing things. Such a woman is a bit more powerful than a man, only taking the third master I don't know Xifu, if this woman is his Afu's wife, he must be holding the pain in his palm.

As A Fu thought about it, he couldn't help but look at Xu Xiuyi a few more times. Xu Xiuyi actually knew in his heart that this kid A Fu liked her, but in this kid's eyes, admiration was not greedy, and Xu Xiuyi only thought that he was here to talk about love. Years old, it is inevitable to have reverie and longing for women, and I don't expose it, and I don't put it at ease.

Pain Afu said goodbye, and she returned to Su Mansion.

In a few days, Baoningtang will reopen, and now everything is in place, only Dongfeng is due. I hope that Guan Dahu and others will quickly send the medicinal materials back.

Three days before the opening of Baoningtang, the first car of medicinal herbs came back, and it was the poor official. Xu Xiuyi actually thought that he must be the first to come back. After all, he used to be an official and had a lot of connections. .

Moreover, I heard that he is an honest official, a good official, and is deeply loved by the people, so he went to the people's homes to buy medicinal materials, and by virtue of his previous reputation, he could also save a lot of trouble of mediation.

Afterwards, Guan Dahu and others sent out a total of four teams of carriages and horses. On the opening day, three teams came back, and one team did not know when to come back, but now the medicinal materials of these three teams are enough to support the reopening of Baoning Hall. After all Every medicinal material, Xu Xiuyi purchased from many sources.

The medicinal materials that Guan Dahu and others have purchased are very good. The people in Guixi know the medicinal materials well, not to mention that they have received Xu Xiuyi's great kindness and are grateful to Xu Xiuyi. Xu Xiuyi.

Xu Xiuyi gathered all the people on the counter, as well as the family members of Guan Dahu and others. After working all night, all the medicinal materials were sorted into categories, cleaned up, and put into the warehouse. Then, they just waited for the dawn to open. .

Xu Xiuyi slept in the shop that night. She was afraid that she woke up late the next morning and delayed the auspicious opening of the store. When she slept until the fourth watch, she heard a series of gun battles outside, and she woke up, thinking it was herself. I got up late and missed the time. The guy first let go of the gun battle.

When I woke up, I found that the prepared cannon battle was still in the corner of the door, and several guys in the backyard were also awakened. Dressed up and came out.

The people who came out together, as well as their family members, all had sleepy eyes, and they were surprised to see Xu Xiuyi standing in the lobby with the cannon at Xu Xiuyi's feet.

"Hey, isn't it the cannonball fired by grandma?"

Xu Xiuyi shook her head. The sound of gunfire was very close, right at the door of the store. She had someone open a door and looked out, her face darkened.

The plaque of Bao'an Tang!In the dark night of the thick smoke of a pile of guns, it was illuminated by a large candle.

Under the plaque, there were three men in brocade clothes standing proudly in the spring breeze. One of them, Xu Xiuyi, went to ask for it when the price of the medicinal materials was raised. It was Lou Yong, a big medicinal herbs merchant in the capital. There was another one she didn't recognize, and the other looked at her with ridicule. Yes, but it wasn't Su Jinyi who moved out from a family break up a few days ago.

The guys behind Xu Xiuyi looked at this posture, and they were all angry, and they were about to go up and scold people with fists and palms.

This Su Jinyi is too bullying. It's not easy to open a pharmacy. She wants to go to the opposite side of Baoningtang, she wants to call Baonantang, she chooses this day, and she is an hour earlier than them.

During the fourth watch, how could there be any guests? His intention is very obvious, that is, to suppress Baoningtang before rushing to Baoningtang.

Xu Xiuyi stretched out her hand to stop Dahu and the others who were about to rush over to the door. A sneering smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she instructed everyone, "Close the door and continue to sleep."

"Grandma, Second Master is too bullying."

Ah Fu was full of indignation, but felt that Xu Xiuyi had suffered a great grievance, and he wanted to kill Su Jinyi unhappily.

Xu Xiuyi didn't care: "I asked him to toss, he just wanted to see us looking so angry, how could we do what he wanted and fall into his arms."

"But third grandma, we are also opening today. He did this to give us a slap in the face. He deliberately made you look bad, third grandma."

Xu Xiu recalled: "Who is not good-looking, maybe you can go to sleep on your own, if you have such skill to be angry with this villain, you might as well think about how to deal with the endless stream of guests after dawn, don't forget, our uncle, Yuezhang At home, there will be a bunch of people coming to support him tomorrow, and we can push him back [-]% just because of his momentum."

Saying this, everyone's faces softened and became proud.

"Yes, he opened his own business, and the business can be compared to our time-honored brand. He opened a pharmacy opposite the door, at most, he can pick up a few leaks from us and eat the rest of our food. Our Baoningtang is a long-established brand for hundreds of years. ."

This sentence was very encouraging, everyone was already excited, Xu Xiuyi told everyone to go to sleep, but everyone started to talk in high spirits, and they all lost sleepiness, Xu Xiuyi saw everyone's enthusiasm, and her heart was naturally happy, she was willing to see Everyone's fighting spirit is high.

However, Su Jinyi's servant was really angry with her.

She comforted everyone like that in her mouth, but she also understood in her heart that Su Jinyi had been in charge of Baoningtang for many years. , one Xu Xiuyi knew, the other did not.

The Lou Yong that I know is one of the top medicinal herbs dealers in the capital. He is shrewd and capable. He started from scratch to his current position. It can be seen that he is a person with the most means, and the other can partner with these two people. It can be seen that his identity is also extraordinary.

Now they have joined forces to suppress her like this, looking at Su Jinyi's sarcastic eyes just now, fortunately she didn't show the angry expression he wanted, otherwise Su Jinyi would not know where to be proud.

An hour later, Baoning Hall is about to open. At that time, with the support of Su Li's family, it will naturally be lively.

Xu Xiuyi wasn't afraid of not being able to fight Su Jinyi, but Su Jinyi was too yin to protect what kind of tactics he was playing in the dark.

Looking at the shop, everyone was full of energy and energy, and she really couldn't show a worried expression, so she got busy with everyone.

At dawn, the sound of firecrackers in Baoningtang continued for half an hour.

Neighbors all came to watch the fun, but they were curious as to why there are Baoningtang on the left and right. After a closer look, they found that one was from Baoningtang.

Su Jinyi stood at the door of the Baoan Tang watching Xu Xiuyi, his eyes full of jokes.

Xu Xiuyi ignored him, but Su Jinye blushed with anger.

He came here before it opened. The moment he saw the Baoan Tang, he almost flew up and smashed the signboard. Su Jinyi is really hateful. He actually stole the fame passed down from his ancestors. It's not intentional to be so close.

Damn, he also opened the shop opposite Baoningtang, Su Jinye blew his beard and stared, and it was Xu Xiuyi who dragged him and talked for a long time before he calmed down, otherwise now facing Su Jinyi's mocking eyes, he would have thrown his fist over.

He has straightened his spine now. After Su Jinyi moved out, he felt that he was really proud, and he was a little more arrogant, and he was no longer as cowardly as before.

He really wanted to beat that Su Jinyi, but Xu Xiuyi pressed his voice and whispered in his ear: "Brother, smile, don't let him see our joke and think we care about him."

Su Jinye glanced at Su Jinyi angrily, and then a big smile cracked at the corner of his mouth, yes, they didn't take Su Jinyi's bastard in their eyes at all.

What kind of Bao'an Tang, he really has the courage to dare to drive to the opposite side of Bao Ning Tang. It will be closed in three or five days. Who doesn't know that Bao'an Tang is a thief, stealing the reputation of the old brand of the Su family to run it. of.

On the first day of opening, Xu Xiuyi had already arranged some.

The first is to invite the dragon and lion dance team, holding the Sujia Baoning Hall, you will treat when you are sick, and you will raise the pennant when you are not sick, and they swaggered through the market for a day. The porridge gave medicine, and no one refused, and then one move was the support of Haohao Tangtang, the family member of Su Li's family.

The opening can be said to be lively. Seeing that Su Jinyi's face collapsed little by little, Xu Xiuyi felt happy. Su Jinyi probably didn't expect her to do these tricks, thinking that the opening was a firecracker, but he was really wrong. In modern times, opening such a thing , How can it be considered to be open without advertising.

Xu Xiuyi has lived in modern times for more than 20 years. She has never opened a store, but she has seen one. The high-end ones are advertised on TV. To put it mildly, 30 Days hires a bunch of college students to walk around the streets holding signs.

When she was in college, she was pulled by her roommate to do this kind of thing, holding chess pieces, waving all the way, shouting neat slogans: xxx shop is open, welcome everyone and so on.

There is another trick that is even more common in modern times, handing out flyers, but unfortunately not many people here can read and write, so Xu Xiuyi was afraid that the flyer would not work, so it was useless.

The hired dragon and lion dance team shone the flag while shouting propaganda slogans such as the opening of Baoning Hall. A bunch of people came here, most of them came to join in the fun, and naturally there were also people who wanted to eat and take medicine.

Xu Xiuyi opened the door, and no one refused.

She was generous, saying that she gave medicine and porridge, and she gave medicine and porridge, and the porridge was meat porridge, which was very sticky. The people from the refugee camp in the east of the city were almost brought by their families when they heard the news. Xu Xiuyi also specially ordered, If a person comes and asks for three or four bowls, he will also give them.

After all, it is necessary to drink it instead of pouring it out, it must be because of hunger and panic to need so much.

It was the first time that Su Jinye, the uncle of the Su family, saw such a big scene. He panicked at first, but then Su Li kept standing behind him to encourage him. , The patients are very moved, and his medical skills are excellent, and he is very busy with the academic doctor.

The entire Baoningtang has been so lively for the first time since its opening to today.

On this day, Bao Ning Tang lost money, a lot of money, but Xu Xiuyi was happy about the loss. The 50 taels bought Bao Ning Tang's charity reputation, and Su Jinyi's surprised and frustrated appearance.

Spend money to buy happiness, she is happy.

Busy until late at night, Su Jinye's voice is completely hoarse. He has never said so many words in his life, and he has not been entrusted with important responsibilities in the Su Mansion. Today, he is shouldering the responsibilities. Although his voice is hoarse, he is in this mood. This is the first time in years.

Everyone ate dinner together. Su Jinye and Xu Xiuyi did not shy away from sitting on the floor with everyone, drinking and eating food, and chatting happily. Xu Xiuyi liked this kind of atmosphere. Everyone was like a family. As employees, they are also friends. Without their support, there would not be a lively opening day for Baoningtang.

There are a lot of people in Baoning Hall now. Guan Dahu and others are in charge of purchasing, and the family members live in the backyard of the hospital. Because the backyard can't live in it, it is a shack. Xu Xiuyi has already promised to rent the backyard and give it to everyone Settling down, it is also close to the medical center.

The wife of Guan Dahu and others, Xu Xiuyi also promised to help with the job and do some embroidery. These women are the best at it. Xu Xiuyi even asked the academic doctor to teach the children of these people, literacy and reading. She felt that everyone Everyone should have the right to study, regardless of the status.

Guan Dahu and the others were more and more determined to follow her.

As for Ah Fu and others, Xu Xiuyi also gave them a lot of sweetness after taking charge of Baoning Hall. All of them got raises and promotions. Naturally, they followed Xu Xiuyi wholeheartedly.

No one would refuse such good treatment and such a good master.

Baoningtang is now raising many people. It seems that people are superfluous, but Xu Xiuyi has a blueprint in her heart. She recruits troops and trains her confidants, just to see Baoningtang become the only medical center in the capital one day. Yes, she has Acquisition plan!

The word "acquisition" must be very unfamiliar to the ancients. Xu Xiuyi has no intention of explaining it to them now, but they will definitely understand the meaning of these two words in the future.

*

After a busy day, Xu Xiuyi and Su Jinye of Su Li's family took the car home together. When they got home, they found out that her mother was here, and that she was busy at the counter and not bothered her, and had been waiting in the Su mansion for a day.

She used to come to Uncle Wang, the housekeeper. Xu Xiuyi is no stranger to Uncle Wang because she has memories.

Uncle Wang came back to send an invitation card. It was written on the invitation card that Xu Lanqing was getting married.

This is really a big happy event. Because of the obstructed by the five princes over the years, no girl dares to go to the Xu family's door, which has delayed Xu Lanqing's marriage.

Xu Xiuyi asked Uncle Wang, "Whose girl is it, and how did it happen?"

Uncle Wang smiled: "It was a match made by others. My father just arrived in Beijing, and he worked in the hands of the adults, and he was quite in tune with the adults. The adults had seen his girl and felt that they were suitable for the young master, so he said it jokingly. , In the end, people really talked about matchmaking, and the young master saw the portrait and didn't object."

This is normal. There are a lot of matchmakers over the years, and Xu Lanqing has very few objections. However, there is not one who can finally enter the threshold of her house. How peaceful.

Thinking about it carefully, I can't help but feel a bit mocking, and yes, since I have a new love, the fifth prince still insists on doing nothing with her brother's past love and hatred.

There was a figure that flashed in my mind, but it just disappeared in a flash.

She smiled at Uncle Wang: "I will go there, too dark road is not easy to walk, I will ask someone to see you off."

Uncle Wang waved: "I came by car, auntie, then I'll go back first."

"Be careful on the road."

Xu Xiuyi took the invitation card back to the house, opened it to see the time on it, May [-]th, about the date set by the old yellow calendar, and counting the days, there are still more than half a month, Xu Xiuyi asked Jinyu to collect the invitation card, and the other Jia Jinyu sent mints to Su Jinye, then washed and fell asleep.

Time passed quickly, and half of May passed, Baoningtang and Baobaotang began to enter into a state of competition. Su Jinyi was very good at medicine, but Su Jinye was in the same vein as him, and they were evenly matched.

There are two chaebols behind Bao'an Hall, and the Su family is also rich in financial resources, regardless of whether they are up or down.

Baoningtang is a time-honored brand, and Baoningtang has a wide network of people. In terms of these two points, the two have their own selling points.

In the secret competition, Bao Ningtang did not pick up much bargains, and Bao Ningtang did not necessarily have the ability to overpower Baoningtang. Xu Xiuyi had spent a few days of leisure, she instructed the counter to do what she should do, don't fight, don't solicit customers , just like this, An An Shengsheng opened a pharmacy. As for Bao Bao Tang, it couldn't be defeated for a while, so it would be better to toss them slowly for a long time.

On Su Jinyi's side, nothing happened. Xu Xiuyi has not been at the counter for several days. She entrusted most of the Baoningtang matters to Su Jinye, Ah Fu, and Guan Dahu. All three of them are powerful. One is energetic, the other is capable, Baoningtang just needs to carry out daily operations, and does not need Xu Xiuyi to come forward at all.

She has been busy preparing gifts for her brother these days.

The girl hired by the three media and six is ​​already considered as the prospective grandmother of the Xu family, and the fifth prince, there is really no movement, probably this time, he will definitely not stumble from it again.

Xu Xiuyi asked someone to prepare a pair of dragon and phoenix bracelets as a gift for the future sister-in-law.

As for Xu Lanqing, Xu Lanqing didn't like gold and silver jewelry, Xu Xiuyi bought a picture of a beautiful woman from a calligraphy artist Xu Lanqing admired from the antique market and gave it to Xu Lanqing. The beautiful woman looked back under a colorful pair of peony flowers, which was also considered a joy.

Naturally, the Su family also had to give gifts. All the rooms had prepared gifts and sent people and Xu Xiuyi back to their parents' house.

The old lady was inconvenient, so she let the maid Yingbi go. The big room was naturally Su Li's, and she brought Ms. Qing. Su Jinyu from the fourth room fell asleep and didn't wake up for two months. Tai Lian was pregnant for another eight months. She was pregnant and couldn't go away, so she just sent a gift and asked Xu Xiuyi to take it back.

Xu Xiuyi asked the nanny to bring the dumplings. The nanny was new, she was very young, and she was called Siniang.

After adopting the group, I didn't ask anyone in my mother's family to see it, so I brought it back this time for people to see.

On the fifteenth day of the fifth month, the Su family got out of two carriages, pulled gifts and people, and headed for the Xu residence.

The Xu residence was decorated with lanterns, and it was very happy. Xu Xiuyi and others were welcomed in and led to Xu Xiuyi's former boudoir to rest. Xu Xiuyi asked the nanny to bring the dumplings, thinking of going to greet the old man.

Halfway around, the dumpling cried so badly, Xu Xiuyi asked her nurse to take it back to feed her, and she could show it to the old man later.

- off topic -

Is there a message, a recommendation, a gold medal, or a porridge for Xiaojiu?

Is there any wood?Is there really any wood?

Xiao Jiu cried to death.
