Black-bellied Xianggong: Cute wife is not easy to mess with

Chapter 153 Overtake (Part [-])

Shi Tianci patted Gu San on the shoulder, and an unclear smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and said: "Since the Elder Master asked me to take care of the cooperation with Bai Caibu, then I will do a good job, no matter what, I can't let you Isn't he disappointed?" As he spoke, he pulled Gu San closer with a little force, and said in a low voice, "Let's seize the opportunity, make a fortune first, and then try to use the business of selling books to make a fuss, so that the old man can make a good sale. bleeding."

"What?!" Gu San was taken aback, "Brother, since you have been suspected by the Elder Master, shouldn't the most important thing you should do right now is to regain his trust, why do you want to plot against him?"

Shi Tianci slapped him hard on the shoulder, and said: "He has already seen the account book, how can I regain his trust? Anyway, my ultimate goal is to marry the third girl and get him It’s just the property of the family, maybe the Elder Master will realize my kindness when he is in a critical situation.”

Gu San thought about it seriously, and he understood a little bit, and suddenly said: "Brother, you are trying to put the Elder Master in a critical moment, and then you will help him, so that he will be grateful to you?"

"You've finally become smarter!" Shi Tianci patted him on the shoulder happily, and said, "However, that's what I want to do. What do you think of this method?"

Gu San laughed and said repeatedly: "Not bad, not bad."

"Even if you, a fool, say it's good, then it's really good!" Shi Tianci laughed out loud.

Gu San followed up with a laugh, and became worried again: "My lord is the clerk in the yamen. We are just poor and poor bastards who have defected to relatives. It is not easy to put him in a crisis."

Shi Tianci smiled slightly: "It is precisely because of this that we need to make a deal first and make a lot of money, so that we can manage money around."

"Brother already has an idea?" Gu San cheered up.

"That's right." Shi Tianci turned around and walked to the counter, and said, "I've helped the old man sell books these days, and I've saved a lot of money myself. You can take this money to the back door of Bai's house later, Find a boy named Lai Fu, ask him to help, and ask to see Aunt Huang."

"Ask to see Aunt Huang?" Gu San was puzzled, "Isn't our shop already rented out? Why do you still ask to see Aunt Huang?"

When Shi Tianci remembered the matter of renting a shop that day, he became angry and gritted his teeth for a while before answering Gu San's question: "It's almost autumn, and the yamen is going to buy supplies for the winter. What do you want to buy, you can ask Aunt Huang. Of course, the most important thing is to ask her if she can give me a 'reasonable' price."

"Reasonable price?" Gu San didn't understand.

Shi Tianci continued to explain: "For example, Bai Biai originally ordered five taels of silver. Could you please ask Aunt Huang for help, and the actual fee is five taels, but the price is eight taels."

This is to falsely report the price and make a profit from it. In the final analysis, it is Mu Changguang's money that was swindled, because he paid for the money to open this store.Shi Tianci's move is really ruthless!Gu San couldn't help but clicked his tongue.

"Fortunately, the old man was afraid of driving me into a hurry, so he would expose him and didn't take the money I saved, otherwise we wouldn't even have the money to bribe Aunt Huang." Shi Tianci took out the money from the counter and handed it To Gu San, he said, "Since I came to Yangxing County, my luck has not been very good. Apart from these, I only married Hongjiao and made some money. When you go this time, you must do things seriously, and you can't take my money." The money has gone to waste."

"Brother, don't worry, I will definitely help you with this little matter." Gu San promised again and again, took the money, and went out through the back door.

In the west wing of Mu's house, Mu Qingwan was checking the inventory list in the warehouse, and found that there were still supplements such as ginseng and deer antler, so she hurriedly asked Jinyu to deliver them to Nie Tai'an.For a moment Lingxiu came in from the outside in a hurry, and said excitedly: "Miss San, I heard from Xinghong that the master no longer asks Shopkeeper Shi to help sell books!"

"Oh? So someone else helped sell it?" Mu Qingwan was also happy that the plan worked, but she still asked one more question.

Lingxiu said: "I didn't hear that the master has sent someone else, maybe it's because I can't find someone I trust enough."

That's good, at least it's safe for the time being, and there is finally one thing that can make her feel at ease.Mu Qingwan put down the list in the warehouse, drank a cup of tea, and said, "You can ask Xinghong another day, she has someone she wants to marry."

"Xinghong? She!" Ganqing Xinghong wanted to stay in the Mu family to marry someone, and she didn't want to follow Mu Qinglian to marry Shi Tianci, so she took refuge in Mu Qingwan?Sure enough, there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world.Lingxiu was very surprised: "Fortunately, Xinghong belongs to the fourth girl. Whether she is worthy or not is up to us."

Mu Qingwan smiled and said: "It's not a difficult task, just use a little trick." Then she sighed: "She has been with the Fourth Miss these years, and she has done a lot of bad things. I really don't want to help her. Thinking of keeping her in the Mu family as a matchmaker, the fourth girl will lose a powerful helper, so she is willing to fulfill her wish."

Although Mu Qinglian still has a small mirror and a small comb by her side, I heard that these two maids have never been close to her. If Xinghong can stay in Mu's house and not marry with her, then she will really be missing. A person who needs it first.Thinking of this, Lingxiu became happy, nodded and said: "Miss San, don't worry, I'll make a note of this matter."

Mu Qingwan took out the timeline from the drawer, flipped through it slowly, and suddenly asked Lingxiu: "In Yangxing County, there should be quite a few places that sell charcoal."

charcoal?It's not autumn yet, why do you think of charcoal in winter?Even if you want to buy it, it's too early, right?Lingxiu was taken aback when she heard the words, and reminded Mu Qingwan: "Third Miss, it's still early, the charcoal in the shops is not available yet, let's talk about it in autumn."

"Not stocked?" Mu Qingwan thought for a while, "Is it because the store has already bought it, but it hasn't been sold yet, or it hasn't even been bought?"

Lingxiu smiled and said: "Miss San, you are asking the right person when you ask me about this. When my father was still alive, our family burned charcoal. At this time of year, the charcoal has not yet started burning, but those big shops , place orders in advance, so that the price can be cheaper; those small stores wait until winter comes, and then go to the big stores. They are sold here, but they are so few.”

"Big stores are all booked in advance..." Mu Qingwan patted the timeline lightly, thought for a while, and said, "Then let's make an order too."
