Lin Jiabiyu

The surprise and dissatisfaction on Lu Ping's face quickly subsided. Hearing Lin Wan's voice, he saluted with a smile, thanked him in a gentle voice, and then sat down.

Shopkeeper Yao Da with a gray beard also saluted Chao Linwan and thanked him.

A circle of shopkeepers in the room watched Lu Ping's movements with different thoughts. They stood stiffly and looked at each other. Seeing that Lu Ping and Yao Da shopkeeper saluted respectfully, they hurriedly saluted Lin Wan. Thank you.

Seeing that everyone took their seats one after another, Lin Wan unhurriedly ordered the little girl to serve the tea again, and then concentrated on tasting the tea, as if it wasn't for reconciliation today.

The shopkeepers below were absent-mindedly holding the teacups, and occasionally exchanged glances with the people around them, but none of them knew what kind of medicine this young lady was selling in the gourd.

Lu Ping and Master Yao were extremely calm, sipping tea calmly.

Master Yao twirled his beard, held the teacup with a smile, and stared at the emerald green tea soup, as if he could see a flower.From the corner of his eye, he glanced at the people in the room from time to time, pausing for a moment on Lu Ping, a meaningful smile appeared on his wrinkled face.

After sitting for a while and drinking half a cup of tea, the shopkeepers in the room couldn't keep their eyes fixed, and looked at Lu Ping suspiciously and anxiously.

With a calm face and a gentle smile, Lu Ping finally stood up under everyone's gaze and expectation, bowed to Lin Wan and said, "All the shopkeepers from the north are here, young madam, please give me a lecture. ?”

There was a slight smile on the corner of Lin Wan's mouth, her eyes lightly fell on Lu Ping's face, and she paused for a moment.He moved away with a smile, and turned to look at the shopkeepers in the room who were flattering, reluctantly, or frankly smiling, and sighed to Lupin in embarrassment: "Everyone has worked hard these past few years. I am a housewife? I don’t understand, and I don’t have anything to teach. Speaking of it... I can’t even recognize all the shopkeepers sitting here.”

Shopkeeper Yao narrowed his small eyes, then put down the teacup, twisted his beard, looked around Lu Ping and then looked back.Staring at Zhu Qi, who was leaning on the chair with seemingly very leisurely eyes but kept staring at everyone in the room, a light suddenly flashed in his cloudy eyes, and then he took a sip of tea calmly.

The smile on Lu Ping's face didn't diminish, but his eyes were a little surprised, and he responded unhurriedly: "You're a little reckless." Then he turned to the people in the room, "Everyone, get up and see the young lady. Come on."

The shopkeepers looked at each other.They stood up one after another and saluted Lin Wan, while Lu Ping introduced them one by one.

After a round of rounds, when the shopkeepers in the house have almost recognized each other, the remaining half of the tea will also go cold.

"I have been here with my master for half a year, and I finally met all the shopkeepers today." Lin Wan smiled and said in a friendly and easy-going tone.In addition, the face is beautiful and soft, and the smile is like a spring breeze.These words and smiles finally let go of the scruples and restraints in the hearts of all the shopkeepers.

"Let everyone come over today. First, I am the one to meet you and get to know each other. Second, the shopkeepers have really worked hard all year round. My master and I have someone prepare food and drinks. We are here in this yard at noon today. Set up two tables. It is also a thank you. Besides, "

Lin Wan paused at this point.Smiling lightly, he glanced at Lu Ping, frowned, and sighed to the people in the room with some embarrassment and helplessness, "I also ask all the shopkeepers to hand over the general ledger, and roughly reconcile the accounts. I am not afraid of the jokes of the shopkeepers. I'm younger, and I don't know the seriousness. The prince and the master deliberately tried to grind my temper, so they let me take care of this matter. Now that I accept it, I don't want to disappoint the prince and the master. If there is something inappropriate, Please don’t blame the shopkeepers.”

A lot of polite words were said before, and the shopkeepers all nodded their heads in thanks.Until the last sentence, the hearts of everyone in the room froze, and then they looked at each other with different expressions, and they all raised their hearts for a moment.

Shopkeeper Yao glanced at everyone's faces, a slight smile flashed in his eyes, then he stood up, bowed to Lin Wan and said with a smile: "My lord and my lord have always known people well. I just don't know how the young lady plans to reconcile the account? It’s like drawing up a charter according to the wishes of the wife.”

The corner of Lin Wan's mouth was raised a little, a faint smile appeared on her face, her eyes fell on shopkeeper Yao Da, and she quickly waved her hands: "Treasurer Yao sit down quickly, there is no need to be so polite."

As he spoke, he looked around again, looked at the shopkeepers who were staring at him intently, and then laughed aloud: "Although it is a rough reconciliation, it still takes some effort. Everyone is in a hurry today. It’s okay to delay the reconciliation for the time being. All shopkeepers, let’s talk about the situation in your respective shops and this year’s income and expenditure.”

The shopkeepers looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, couldn't figure out what Lin Wan wanted to hear, so they looked at each other, but no one got up.

The smile on Lin Wan's face was as warm as ever, and she slowly put down the teacup, looked around the room, her eyes stopped on Zhu Qi, and then she smiled and said: "Zhu Qi, let's talk first. I think you are sitting very leisurely." Very! Don’t you have two restaurants in the south?”

Seeing Lin Wan looking over, Zhu Qizao sat up straight, stood up slowly when he heard the words, laughed twice, saluted Lin Wan respectfully, and then said loudly: "Go back to Madam. There are two restaurants in Yangzhou Prefecture and one in Jinling. The total income this year is more than 6000 taels. The restaurants in Yangzhou Prefecture have not released new wine this year, and the number of customers is the same as in previous years. After deducting various expenses, the income is about [-] taels. There are many restaurants in Jinling, and several restaurants have opened on one street, so the income is only more than four thousand taels."

Zhu Qi's voice was not low, steady and powerful, and he explained the situation clearly in a few sentences.Lin Wan smiled and asked a few more words before Zhu Qi sat down.

Several shopkeepers looked at each other, and then looked at Lupine.

Shopkeeper Yao Da shook his beard at this time, stood up with a smile, and cupped hands with Lin Wan and other shopkeepers around the room, and then replied: "Young master manages two racecourses, both On the edge of Weiyuan City, close to Mobei Grassland. There is also a salt mine..."

Shopkeeper Yao's voice was old but calm, and he spoke about the income and expenditure of various places in a leisurely manner.Lin Wan asked a few more questions curiously, and then smiled and asked people to sit down.

Then everyone stood up one by one and answered.Lin Wan occasionally asked a question or two, but it didn't involve the account books, as if she was just curious.Then he drank tea slowly, listening very seriously, and the smile on his face remained the same ever since.

After half a turn, it was already half an hour.

Lin Wan saw that shopkeeper Qiao was about to stand up, her slightly drooping eyelids moved slightly, and the corners of her lips curled up silently.He moved his legs slightly and changed his posture.Leaning on the chair, he still listened to the shopkeeper Qiao with a smile on his face.

"...There is no war in the north this year, and there are fewer merchants in the south. The four pharmacies have made a net profit of more than [-] taels of silver."

"Four shops? Where are they located? How big are they?" Lin Wan asked with a smile and curiosity as before.

"One in Weiyuan City, two in Dingbei Road, and one in Yong'an City." Shopkeeper Qiao felt a little complacent, puffing out his stomach.He replied with a smile, "The shop is not too small. There are people who collect medicines and make medicines. Even the handymen are added up. There are about five or sixty people in a shop."

Lin Wan smiled and nodded, holding the teacup in her hand, and took another sip of tea slowly.paused.He raised his eyelids and glanced at Lupine, who was already looking a bit unsightly, and then slowly looked back.Staring at Shopkeeper Qiao, he said with a smile: "These shops are far away and there are so many people. Shopkeeper Qiao has worked really hard. I heard that your eldest son is also learning to manage a drug store in Yong'an City? Son-in-law, he is on Dingbei Road, right?" ?”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the shopkeepers present all changed. Shopkeeper Qiao's smiling face froze at this moment, and he reluctantly pulled the corners of his mouth.The originally shy stomach was put away, and she looked at Lin Wan with a stiff voice and said with a dry smile: "Young madam is aware. There is only one son and one daughter in the small family, and the young one thinks that they must not let them embarrass the palace. Let the younger generation Follow the Taoist shop to learn how to do things, I only hope that my son and son-in-law can share the worries for the young lady and the master in the future..."

"Shopkeeper Qiao doesn't need to explain too much. I just overheard a few interesting things from the boys outside two days ago. Let the juniors go to the shop to experience it. Knowing what to do and what not to do can go a long way in the future It’s a good thing that shopkeeper Qiao has a loving father’s heart, and he hasn’t forgotten about him.” Lin Wan smiled and waved her hands, as if she didn’t care too much, her voice was also very soft, with admiration and smiles in her tone, but she heard The shopkeeper Deqiao changed his expression inexplicably.

Lu Ping's face was not very good-looking, he was ashamed, angry and embarrassed. He glanced at the shopkeeper Qiao very coldly, and then looked at Lin Wanshi, but it was a little complicated.

This young lady is a bit more cunning than he expected, but he was wrong in his previous expectation.Someone who can reassure the prince and the second master must have some skills.

But today's actions were too young and aggressive after all, one bad one would easily make the old shopkeepers feel cold.

Lu Ping frowned slightly, and was about to speak a word of persuasion, but Lin Wan looked away with a smile. He didn't care about the embarrassment of Qiao's shopkeeper, but smiled at the few unremarkable shopkeepers sitting behind Zhu Qi. : "Speaking of pharmacies, I remembered. We also have a few shops in the north and south. I don't know how the business is?"

Shopkeeper Tan with a full beard stood up with a smile, wearing a very inconspicuous thick jacket, and said with a loud smile: "If you go back to the owner. Our old shop in Liancheng is better this year than in previous years, because of the sea When the boat came over, there were three more storeys of merchants in the south, and two more storeys of income in the shop, making a net profit of 7000 taels of silver. The newly opened shop in Yong'an City hired a famous doctor from Pingliang Mansion, and now it is also sold out. Somewhat famous, by the end of November, the total income was nearly 2 taels of silver. At the Longchuan Mansion, we only received the goods and sent them to a few in the south, and the shopkeepers there have not paid their accounts. Only last month I received a letter, and it is roughly estimated that the total income of the four shops in the south should be nearly 10 taels of silver."

Shopkeeper Tan's voice was full of air, high and low, with a hint of a smile.

The half-circle shopkeeper who just got off his turn felt chills down his spine, and shopkeeper Qiao's body was even stiffer, and he gave shopkeeper Tan a look of resignation.This sentence, every word is slapping him in the face!
