Concubine, please respect yourself

Chapter 25
Ever since Lu Zhichen listened to what his little sister had to say at home that day, he told the shopkeeper in the mansion that as long as he had money dealings with Jia's family, no matter how much he lost or earned, he would cut it off!
At first, these shopkeepers were afraid that they would cut off business with the Jia family, and the money in the store would not be enough for a while, so they pushed back and forth and refused.

After all, this Jia family is also a wealthy family in Suzhou, and it is a small business if it is cut off. If it is used to make a fuss, people will probably be criticized, saying that their Lu family has no business ethics, and the loss of the signboard is not only a few thousand taels of silver. .

The next day, Lu Zhichen brought more than a dozen banknotes from Mu Cangzhai, and promised in front of the shopkeepers that the store's reputation would not be damaged, so he nodded his head on this matter.

The shopkeepers of the shop are all shrewd, what are they worrying about if they can get online with Mu Cangzhai?
On the first day when the Lu Mansion cut off business with the Jia family, many merchants who had been bullied by the Jia family also followed suit.

As the old saying goes, a tiger falls in Pingyang and is bullied by a dog, and now it is an appropriate description of the Jia family.

Although the business of the Lu family in Suzhou is not too big, but the man of the Duke of Lu is praised by others, not to mention that he is still a hereditary father, no matter how bad it is, it is better than helping the Jia family who came from a bad family background. much.

The shopkeeper of the Jia family has been very busy these few days. When he saw the big red lacquered wooden pillar outside the gate of the mansion, he wanted to jump on it. He rolled his eyes to clean up the mess easily.

A few days ago, my second master paid 1 taels of spare silver to go to Beijing to stock up on the private salt in the three major warehouses, but the private salt was kept on hold, and the flow of money was already tight, so it was extremely difficult to turn around the store.

Fortunately, the Lu family cut off their business for some reason, causing them to suffer a catastrophe, but their second master refused to let the salt in the warehouse be touched, isn't this embarrassing?The shopkeepers of the store stayed up for several nights, lost a few strands of hair, and couldn't think of a solution.

In the early morning of the next day, the shopkeepers of Jia's business gathered outside the gate of Jia's mansion, clamoring that no matter what happened today, they must see the two young masters.

Jia Cen is the most arrogant, extravagant and lustful person in his life. Not long ago, he got a dancer, whose waist was unbearable, and he often indulged until midnight before falling asleep.

Early this morning, a young man came to report that several shopkeepers of the shop at home were waiting for him to discuss important matters in the meeting hall.

With delicate and fragrant nephrite in her bosom, who wants to go out to meet those bad old men?
Jia Cen's sleep was disturbed, he got out of breath, and got up with his big hands to grab the double-ring flying swallow glazed bottle placed on the bed table, and threw it at the door.

"Crack!" The priceless glass bottle was smashed to pieces.

The boy outside the door suppressed his panic, and thought to himself in silence: "How did this hard work be assigned to him, it is really tormenting!"

There was a sound of things colliding in the room, vaguely mixed with the man's cursing and dirty words and the woman's coquettish persuasion.

After a while, the door opened.

I saw that Second Master Jia had a gloomy complexion, his hair was uncombed, and his face was unwashed.Only wearing a robe but not even fastening his belt, he strode toward the meeting hall with disheveled clothes.

"A bunch of useless trash, you can't deal with such trivial matters?" Jia Cen said in a vicious tone, as if he was displeased with the fact that these shopkeepers came to the house today.

Seeing the second master coming, all the shopkeepers of the Jia's Chamber of Commerce hurriedly rushed forward, clutching the books in their hands, and surrounded Jia Cen.

"Second Master, the cloth shop has lost a hundred taels of silver recently, and we haven't delivered the cloth ordered by Shopkeeper Qian!"

"The opening of our winery today is a problem. All flower houses and inns in Suzhou City do not pick up goods from our Jia's winery."

"Our pharmacy has been deserted all day long, and there are people coming to make trouble three or four times. Tell me, second master, is this still a business?"

Jia Cen's cuffs were pulled here and there by the shopkeepers, and he was already dizzy. Hearing their messy complaints, he flicked his sleeves and said angrily: "Shut up, you treat me as Jia Cen!" Where is your home? Is it a busy city? But the loss of a few thousand taels of silver will make up for it in a few days!"

"Hmph! To put it bluntly, all the shopkeepers are also sensible. Now the Jia family has no spare money! How to make up for this shortfall?" Hearing Jia Cen lose his temper, many shopkeepers shrank their necks to reveal what they wanted to say. He swallowed his words again, but another person stood upright and asked what everyone wanted to ask.

"There are two villages in the southern part of the eastern suburbs. I will sell them in the past two days to make up for the shortfall!" Jia Cen was so forced that he scratched his head and scratched his head to think of a way to sell the land.

The shopkeepers all nodded their heads in agreement after hearing his words, waved their sleeves and left with a helpless expression.

The shopkeepers of these various shops didn't know that the second master of his family had borrowed the relationship of the governor to buy private salt, but the big shopkeeper in Jia's mansion knew about it.

The shopkeeper of the Jia family stayed at the end, approached Jia Cen, lowered his hands and whispered with a smile: "Second master, you forgot? You bought a batch a few days ago."

Before he finished speaking, Jia Cen grabbed his arm tightly and gave him a dark look: "Shut up!"

He, Jia Cen, was not an animal, so he naturally knew that the salt could be sold for a few bucks, but the superior told him that the salt could not be moved for the time being.

"Don't mention this matter again." Sighing at the big shopkeeper, Jia Cen left in a hurry, as if to raise money.

On the second day, Jia Cen was having breakfast with his concubine in the garden, when the servant rushed to report: "Second Master, seven shops in our house were closed this morning!"

"understood!"

Jia Cen put a piece of hibiscus cake in the bowl of the beautiful concubine beside him, and responded calmly.

On the third day, Jia Cen hadn't woken up yet, and was sleeping in a daze, when the servant from the mansion opened the door and entered, the concubine's face turned pale in fright, and she covered the quilt tightly.

The boy who pushed the door just wondered why his master was not in a hurry?When things come to an end, it's still leisurely.

"Master, another twelve shops are closed today!"

When Jia Cen heard this, he hurriedly got up from the bed, his brows tightened: "Say it again?"

The boy reported the truth again, and then looked at his second master, his head was sullen and he didn't say a word, as if he was thinking about something important.

After a while, he only replied: "Well, step back!"

Jia Cen was cautious, he wanted to protect the Jia family, but he also didn't want to use the private salt in the warehouse, but if it came to the critical moment of the Jia family's life and death, he would take the risk of turning around and release the salt.

Just after hearing the report from the boy, Jia Cen was hesitant, and finally decided to "wait".

On the fourth day, the messenger boy didn't report the news for a long time. In the evening, Jia Cen thought he could finally breathe a sigh of relief, but he still waited for the "bad news".

"Second Master, Second Master!"

The messenger boy was out of breath, put his hands on his knees, gasped for a few times, and swallowed: "A dozen shopkeepers in our shop have already rolled up the cash in the shop and ran away." !"

"what?"

Jia Cen felt dizzy, eyes darkened, and his body limp and collapsed to the ground.

Closing his eyes, he only thought: It's over, big brother will break his leg this time!
Seeing that the second master had passed out, the boy hurriedly reported to the butler to find a doctor.

Several hours passed, Jia Cen opened his eyes quietly, his expression was in a daze, as if he had aged seven or eight years.

Slowly raising his big hand, he called the butler to come closer, saying every single word with great effort: "Call the shopkeeper, put! Salt!"
