Chapter 12 Teasing Shen Hong (3)
Shen Cui was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help curling her lips. It really wasn't a matter of good looks, and it was all because of Ji Cheng's poor background.

Seeing Shen Cui's expression, Ji Lan became furious: "What do you look like? You also dislike your mother's low birth, don't you?"

Shen Cui said "Oh" in pain: "Mother, what's wrong with you? Every time you talk about your uncle and his family, you don't..." A look of disdain.But Shen Cui was smart this time, seeing Ji Lan's face, he didn't dare to say the second half of the sentence.

Ji Lan was angry and angry, but half of the anger was aimed at herself. She really didn't expect that her complaints would accumulate over time and make her daughter look down on herself and the family she came from.In fact, Ji Lan thinks very simply, she can disdain her family and her brother, but she will never allow others to say a word of no, not because she cares about them, but because she must never let her stand down in front of outsiders.

"That's your uncle's house. Your mother grew up there. Without me, there would be no you. If you look down on them, don't be reincarnated into my belly if you have the ability." Ji Lan's voice began to be sharp.

Shen Cuichang rarely encountered such a big temper from her mother at her age: "Mom, what's wrong with you? Just because of Ji Cheng, you don't like me, and you think she is better than me in every way." no?"

Ji Lan felt dizzy when she heard this, and felt that she couldn't explain clearly to Shen Cui: "When did I say that you are not as good as Ji Cheng? Are you not better than her from head to toe? What I mean is that you don't use your brain to figure it out. , Ji Cheng is your cousin, and this can’t be changed. I don’t care how you treat her in private, but in front of outsiders, if you look down on your cousin with others, then you look down on yourself and your mother. Do you think If you do this, others will look up to you?" Ji Lan paused and raised his voice, "Others will only look down on you even more! You have to know that in the eyes of others, she is your cousin, and you are a family. You even look down on your own family members, how can others look up to you?"

Shen Cui is actually not a brainless person. When Ji Lan said this, she understood the truth of it. It was just that she couldn't bear to admit her mistake for a while, but when she heard Ji Lan say that Ji Cheng could not compare to her in anything, her heart was broken. I was much happier, and after thinking for a long time, I walked up shyly and said, "Mother, I was wrong."

Ji Lan touched Shen Cui's head and sighed: "Ah Cui, don't be separated from your cousin, you are cousins, maybe you will support each other in the future."

Shen Cui let out a "huh", but she only felt that she didn't need Ji Cheng's support, and it was almost enough for her to support Ji Cheng.And even if Ji Cheng can marry into a noble family, so what?It's not all because of Gao Zhi'er who climbed up to their Shen family. If their Shen family doesn't take her in, she can only stay in Jindi for the rest of her life.

In fact, Ji Lan and Shen Cui have the same thoughts, they are both relatively indifferent to Ji Cheng, they just feel that Ji Cheng owes them a big favor, if there is love and righteousness, he should be beaten or scolded, and he will pay them back like a cow or a horse. .

Having said that, Ji Lan's city mansion is not comparable to Shen Cui's. She slaps Ji Cheng with a sweet date, pulls and tucks it, the thread is in her hand, and she can retract it freely.But Shen Cui was stunned, and Ji Lan was afraid that she and Ji Cheng would get into a fight, so she tried to persuade her again: "If your cousin marries in Beijing, it will be hard to say what will happen in the future. Don't bully young people and be poor. , your father and I are not good at running a business, even if you got a lot of shops from your uncle, it depends on their family to manage your future dowry."

"I know mother." Shen Cui said perfunctorily.

Ji Lan's words are indeed true. Although she has acquired a lot of shops from her brother, she has no capable people to run them, so she still manages them under the hands of Ji's shopkeeper. She only gets bonuses every year, but that is still a big deal. What she doesn't know is that most of these shops are now managed by Ji Cheng.

Ji Cheng's eldest brother, Ji Yuan, is the hope of the whole family. He spends his days studying hard, and never asks about the affairs of the shop. Her second brother, Jize, is reckless and can't be entrusted to him to do many important things. But Ji Cheng's younger sister and younger brother were too young to handle things, her father, Ji Qing, had no choice but to entrust many things to Ji Cheng, his daughter.

Ji Qing also often lamented that it would be great if Ji Cheng was a man. In this way, with her elder brother working hard to achieve success in the officialdom, and her running the business of the Ji family, the Ji family will definitely prosper.

But he said that the school was closed the next day, and Ji Cheng took leave of absence in front of Ji Lan and went back to Ji's house in the capital to clean up.Although Ji Cheng lives in the Shen family now, it is still very easy to buy a three-entry house in the capital with the financial resources of the Ji family. This place is prepared for Ji Yuan to stay in Beijing in the future.If Ji Yuan fails to become an official, he can also be Ji Cheng's future dowry.Ji Qing came to the capital occasionally and lived in that house.

Now this is the place where Ji Cheng listens to the report from the shopkeeper of the Gyeonggi shop for the time being.These young people are getting weaker and weaker, and their energy is also weak. Basically, the power is in Ji Cheng's hands. He only focuses on raising Ji Yuan's eldest son at home, and only hopes that this grandson will be able to support the Ji family in the future. Business.

Because of this, all the shopkeepers dare not neglect this young lady who has been in charge of Ji's family since she was 13 years old, and this young lady has sharp eyes, no matter how true and false the account is, she will definitely show her original shape when she is in front of her. He is cruel and ruthless at a young age, and he doesn't show affection at all, so he is even harder to serve than Master Ji.However, this eldest lady is also very generous. As long as there are capable people in her hands, the days will definitely become more and more prosperous, and they will be more respectable than ordinary bosses.Therefore, those who are willing to do things are very willing to work under her.

In the morning, Ji Cheng checked the accounts in the house, looked at the account books of the twenty or so shops in Ji Lan's hand, and said to shopkeeper Mei: "Nowadays, there are more and more contacts with me in the Western Regions, shopkeeper Mei, I think Send you to the west to make a stop. It is not easy for us to get in the business in the south. The northwest line is our main line. We must be strong, otherwise we will be controlled by other people in time, and we can only look at others. I’ve eaten with a wink.” The west side of Ji Cheng’s mouth is not Dunhuang, Zhangye and others, but more westward countries such as Kucha, Shule, Tocharia, Tianzhu, etc. “Of course, let’s also pay attention to the Turkic side. If there are partners who can cooperate, you can also buy individual shares."

Mei Changhe never expected that Ji Cheng would suddenly bring up this matter: "Then what about the six shops in my hand? What about my aunt's explanation?"

"Actually, my aunt has long been worried about leaving the shop in our hands. Didn't your subordinates train some people for her?" Ji Cheng said.

"But they haven't left their teachers yet." Mei Chang said softly.

"You haven't given them the chance to be alone, so how do you know if they can become teachers?" Ji Cheng laughed, thinking that it would be better if they didn't become teachers.Ji Lan now has money in his hand and a backer behind him, so his posture is high.

Ji Cheng didn't mind embarrassing her aunt a bit, and let her know that the Ji family was not just for her to handle, otherwise Ji Lan would develop a habit of treating the members of the Ji family as servants.

Ji Cheng knew in his heart that she owed Ji Lan's kindness, and she would naturally repay her kindness, but she must not treat Ji Lan like an emperor.In fact, Ji Cheng can also figure out a little bit of Ji Lan's psychology, that is, on the one hand, he wants to win him over to be used by her, but on the other hand, he wants to tame himself, so that he can obey her.But Ji Cheng's temperament has been cultivated in the past few years of being the master of the house, how can he stand up to Ji Lan's way.

Mei Chang, He and the others immediately understood that Ji Cheng wanted the members of the Ji family to withdraw from Ji Lan's shop: "I understand. Miss, it's just that I'm going to the west by myself, and there may not be enough people."

Ji Cheng liked smart people like Mei Changhe: "Then I'll send you a few more assistants." Without saying a word, Ji Cheng pointed out the shopkeepers who ran the shop for Ji Lan.

"However, we can't just leave with my aunt. Work harder, you guys, and give the people below a few more opportunities in the next two months. Let my aunt see their abilities, and she will naturally nod and let you go." Ji Cheng smiled.

Mei Changhe and others looked at the smile on Ji Cheng's mouth and hurriedly said, "It's natural." They are all smart people, and they immediately understood what Ji Cheng meant. Don't worry about letting these shopkeepers go.

"Don't say that you are going to the west to open a new shop. Let's each find an excuse to talk about it, so that my aunt will not resent us in the future. In fact, the shop is already hers, and it is not a problem for us to manage it all the time, and she doesn't care about it." Comfortable." Ji Cheng said.

"Miss, don't worry, the younger ones know what to say." Mei Chang said softly.

They are all smart people, so there is no need to speak clearly.
