reborn child bride

Chapter 152 The disciple (1) ([-])
Facing Aunt Wei's first-hand information (she suffered more than a year in the old house), Shen Ji attached great importance to it, "What about the Fourth Madam?"

"Her son, Mr. Bai Liu, is competitive and has the hope of the imperial examination. He is highly valued by the family, so he is not afraid of the second wife. But she is not close to the fifth wife and the sixth wife. Mr. Bai Liu respects him very much."

Shen Ji's eyes moved, "Auntie, I'm worrying about the presents I'll bring back to the old house next month, please help me take care of them. I have to prepare the annual gifts to be sent to every family in the capital, but I'm too busy Come. Zhuangzi’s shop is also coming to pay the account and money.”

Aunt Wei nodded and said: "Okay, I will draw up a list first, and then grandma will make additions and deletions."

Ever since Aunt Wei proposed to give Xi'er to Wei Ying as a housemate and was rejected by Shen Ji, although the two of them were still polite on the surface, their relationship was not as close as before.Because of this, Wei Ying was in a bit of a dilemma.

Now, Aunt Wei saw that Shen Ji had finally accepted the suggestion to accept a room for Wei Ying, thinking that she must be in trouble for going back to the old house at this time.Why did I stay in the old house for so many years, especially when I went back recently and suffered more than a year of torture.He also heard and saw a lot of things, so he came to see if Shen Ji needed her help.

Shen Ji also knew that Aunt Wei had no other extra thoughts, she just wanted to do well for Wei Ying.On this point they have the same interests.And at this moment, she was indeed worrying about what presents to bring to everyone when she returned to the old house.Apart from Mrs. Wei, there is no other credible person to consult.Just asking the servants in the mansion if they are hacked by whom, who is the most taboo and what will be sent up at that time, isn't it to cause hatred.Ask other Wei family members in the capital, and they also have this concern.Aunt Eleven might not cheat herself, but because of Ou Qingling's failure to marry into the Gong family, she hated herself for no reason.Therefore, for a while, besides Aunt Wei, the only ones who could be relied on were Madam Li and others.

The combination of their opinions will allow Shen Ji to prepare a suitable gift.Aunt Wei said that she helped draw up a first draft, which was exactly what Shen sent.She asked Aunt Wei and Mother Gu to discuss how to do it.It will be much easier to make some modifications on this basis later.Aunt Wei, Nanny Li and others knew the likes and dislikes of the people in the old house and the family situation, and Mother Gu knew the various rules of gift giving and the current market situation.This combination is currently the strongest.Then I sent it to Aunt Eleven to ask her to take a look. If there was something wrong, she just pointed it out, and it must not be easy to shirk.

Wan Cui helped plan to send gifts to various families in the capital, as well as Mrs. Hanlin and Young Mistress Rong Qi who had been in contact with Shen Ji.The end of the year is coming soon, and A Ling has to use her abacus to calculate the account books sent by Bao Yue Zhai and Zhuang Zi.Because he had to go back to the old house, Shen Ji had already notified the various places to deliver the account book and hand over the money and items half a month in advance.As for the other two shops, Fang Datong was told to check the accounts.

This is the division of labor that Shen Ji did after returning home, and everyone worked separately.Liu Zhu followed Wan Cui, Ning Bi followed A Ling, and they all went down to work too.Turning to look at Cai Lan and Ji Bai, he also watched helplessly as he wanted to take on the work, so he smiled and said, "You two also have errands."

Cai Lan was ten years old, and Ji Bai was eight years old. They used to sweep the court, but seeing that the older sisters had errands, their minds became more active.Not to mention anything else, just because A Ling often went to Baoyue Zhai and brought them delicious food every time she came back, they were so envious.That's not because A-Ling's account was done well, and grandma gave her a special reward.Shen Ji has always been rewarded and punished here, even the new guy at Baoyue Zhai knows that he must work hard to keep customers, because sales are linked to his income.

At this moment, the two of them heard that they also had errands, and their eyes lit up three points, "Grandma, what is the errand? We must work hard to be on the errand."

"Wan Cui and the others have been busy for the past half a month, and Ji Bai has come to follow me to take orders at any time. As for Cai Lan, you go to Cha Zi's side to serve."

Ji Bai heard that although his errand was not an errand that he could receive extra rewards for, but it was also an opportunity to show his face when he was with grandma, so he hurriedly answered "yes".

Cai Lan was a little hesitant, so Shen Ji said to Ji Bai: "Go ask Wan Cui first, what clothes and jewelry I will bring when I return to Huaiyang this time, set aside what I need to wear for the next few days, and then count them one by one. Pack it up, and move it directly to the car in half a month. I want to wear it when the time comes, and I just ask you to ask for it."

"Yes."

After everyone left, Shen Ji said to Cai Lan: "What? You don't want to watch Cha Zi for me? I really don't feel relieved to let Ji Bai go."

Cailan came to her senses, "Grandma, the slave is willing. But, will the slave come back?" Following a roommate, even if it is a big maid, it is better to be a second-class maid with grandma's future.

"You are my dowry girl, so naturally you will come back."

Cailan happily agreed, "Yes, I'll be there soon, I will take care of Miss Chazi."

"Come here with your ear, and I'll tell you a few more words." You have to tell Cailan the inside story, so as to help Chazi cover it up.

On the eighth day of December, Baoyue Zhai has been open for two full months.The account handed in this month is more satisfactory than last month, with a profit of more than two hundred taels.This result is much better than the other two stores under Wei Ying's name. Those two stores have just paid their accounts for the past year, and each made a profit of more than 500 taels, and the total was only more than 1000 taels.Those two places are rented out, and they can earn [-] taels a year.

The two shopkeepers were lifted from the position of the second shopkeeper or even the third shopkeeper by Wei Ying hastily after the second wife was reluctant to hand over the shop.It can only be said that I didn't dare to follow the instructions of the second wife to get a lot of money from the shop like the previous shopkeeper, and then made the account so beautiful that the clan and Wei Ying couldn't find it.But for the past six months, they just guarded the shop, not as dedicated to the business as the previous shopkeeper.Of course, there is also a question of personal ability.Otherwise, why are they just the second shopkeeper and the third shopkeeper.

Wei Ying and Shen Ji were in a hurry before and didn't care about changing people.Moreover, there is no one in their hands that is easy to use, and it is not appropriate to rashly replace all the people sent by the old house in the shop.

Now there is a reason to pay the bill.Shen Ji directly replaced the two people who had prepared earlier on the grounds of ineffectiveness.One person was found by the seventh young lady of the Rong family, the shrewd and capable shopkeeper Qi Mingqi, and sent to the grain shop.The other person was transferred from the accountant staff recruited by Wei Ying, a accountant named Du Liang, and sent to another painting and calligraphy shop.

The original two were ashamed and angry, unwilling to go back to be the second shopkeeper, they packed their bags and took their families back to Huaiyang.

Xie Mo had a long talk with Qi Ming and Du Liang through the screen.She asked the two of them to go to the store early in the morning to watch from the sidelines for a while.Qi Ming is the guest and Du Liang is the accountant.This conversation is also to finally see how much the two of them know about the store to be taken over, and what they can do next year to make the business gradually prosperous.
