Chapter 95

After waiting for a while, the nanny came in to look for Su Jiu.

After paying her respects, the nanny said, "It's the two wives from my family, here to visit Miss!"

Su Jiu has been in Shengjing for so long, and even when she first came to Shengjing and had no one to rely on, she didn't see any wives from her family come to visit her. She must have come to curry favor after seeing that Su Jiu had secured her position as the young wife of Ji's mansion. .

Su Jiu still wanted to see each other, and also to see what the purpose of these two people came today.

Ji Yuxian walked over, carefully put on a light blue embroidered gown with makeup, and said with a smile, "Go, if you're impatient, I'll send you out once you meet."

The nanny said, "Young master, don't worry, the two Mrs. Su have never met the young lady, and there will be no mistakes with the servants!"

After Su Jiu put on her outer robe, she and the nanny left the study room and walked to the flower hall.

From a distance, I could hear the two ladies talking and laughing, the voice was sharp, with some envy and jealousy, it sounded subconsciously uncomfortable.

One of the women said to someone who did not know, "Look at your cousin Yuejiu, why is she married so well, just looking at you, she is one year older than Yuejiu, so far no one has taken her fancy!"

Another woman said, "Sister-in-law, what do you think Ling'er is doing, how many of them are as lucky as Yuejiu! Our Ling'er looks so juicy, we will definitely find a wealthy son-in-law for sister-in-law in the future!"

"Who said it wasn't? How could someone catch up with such good luck!" The voice of the last sentence was a little lower, with imperceptible jealousy.

Seemingly hearing footsteps, the two women stopped talking and stood up.

The nanny pushed the door of the flowering hall, and Su Jiu saw three people sitting in the room, two women, one fat and one thin, and a young woman.

Seeing Su Jiu coming in, the fat woman immediately burst into smiles, "This is Miss Yuejiu, she looks so good-looking! She looks like a lucky person."

The thin woman also hurriedly said, "Yes, just now we were still here to say that Yuejiu is blessed to be able to marry into the Ji Mansion."

Su Jiu looked at the two of them indifferently.

Seeing Su Jiu's indifferent look, the fat woman hurriedly said, "It's no wonder you don't know us. You weren't there when your family moved to Fuyang? It's been seventeen or eighteen years!"

The thin woman said kindly, "I heard that Miss Yuejiu came to the capital. My sister-in-law and I wanted to come and see it early in the morning, but the business at home was too busy and we couldn't spare time. Your uncle came when we got married." , we women don’t like to show our faces, so don’t blame us, Yuejiu!”

The nanny hurriedly said, "No blame, no blame, the marriage was done in a hurry, and I didn't have time to visit the two aunts!"

After finishing speaking, the nanny introduced Su Jiu, pointed at the fat woman and said, "This is Aunt Cheng from your Uncle Cheng's family!"

The fat woman hurriedly pulled the woman behind her over, and said with a smile, "Yue Jiu, this is your cousin, Su Xiaoling."

The woman looked at Su Jiu and nodded shyly, "Hi sister Yuejiu!"

"You can't call it that, you should call it Young Madam!" The fat woman scolded her daughter and said with a flattering smile, "Nurse should be called that!"

The nanny laughed, "They're all from my own family, you can call them whatever you want!"

He introduced the skinny woman to Su Jiu and said, "This is your Aunt Xing from Uncle Xing's family!"

The thin woman wanted to pull Su Jiu's hand, and said with a smile, "In the past, your family lived in Fuyang, too far away, and you didn't have much contact with each other. Now that Yuejiu is in Shengjing, we need to walk around more often!"

Su Jiu avoided the thin woman's hand calmly, sat on the carved wooden chair, and said softly, "What do you two do today?"

If she didn't come to the door before, she probably thought that Su Yuejiu was looking for Ji's mansion on her own initiative, and she would definitely not be taken seriously. Maybe she would be suspended and returned to Fuyang in three days, so it wasn't worth visiting.Seeing that Su Yuejiu has really become the Young Madam of the Ji Mansion, and there are rumors in the city how loving the Young Master Ji and the Young Madam are, they think that this Su Yuejiu can be used to cling to the Ji Mansion, so they rushed to visit.

Don't show up when needed, wait until rich and honored to curry favor, don't say she is not Su Yuejiu, or the real Su Yuejiu, what kind of affection can there be with these two?

The thin woman withdrew her hand in embarrassment, and said with a sneer, "Look at what Yuejiu said, I can't come and see you if I have nothing to do!"

"That's right! We are the closest relatives, and we need to take care of each other in Shengjing!" The fat woman agreed with a smile, pulled Su Ling'er who was hiding behind her, and said, "Yue Jiu, you come alone Jing, there are no relatives around me. Your sister Linger is about the same age as you, so let her come to you often to chat with you to relieve boredom!"

Su Jiu's face was calm, and she made a gesture to get up, "I'm very busy, if you two have nothing to do, I'll go first!"

"Hey! Young Madam!" The fat woman changed her tune suddenly, stopped in front of Su Jiu, and said with a flattering smile, "Don't be too busy, we're all here, we haven't said a word yet!"

The thin woman also said, "Young Madam, it is true that we are here today to ask you, Young Madam!"

Su Jiu sat down upon hearing this, "What's the matter?"

"The young lady knows that our family runs a silk and satin shop. Now the business is not easy to do and it is difficult to make ends meet. The young lady is the mistress of Ji's mansion. If you can give me a hand, let Yuyifang evenly give us some odd jobs for the silk and satin shop. , don’t need too much, just mix it up casually, it’s enough for us to eat!”

The thin woman looked at Su Jiu with a humble expression.

Yuyifang has its own mulberry field and weavers, from silk and satin to embroidery to ready-made clothes, a full set of production lines, the clothes and satins of the empresses and palace people in the palace are all purchased in Yuyifang, if it is the New Year or the palace people send When it came time to make new clothes, the clothing bureau in the palace was too busy, so Yuyi Fang was also required to help.Even some concubines like the craftsmanship of the embroidered mother in Yuyifang, and the palace clothes are also made to order in Yuyifang.

The clothes worn by the ladies and wives of the big families in the city are almost all regular customers of Yuyifang.

The brides in the city are also proud to have a set of wedding dresses embroidered by the top embroiderers in Yuyifang when they get married.

Featherclothes Workshop is so popular, sometimes the work that it receives cannot be finished, and it is distributed to other silk and satin shops, and the embroiderers are supervised and paid for the workmanship. Therefore, many silk and satin shops in the city are desperate to go to Yuyifang to pick up the work.

Hearing the thin woman speak, the fat woman was not far behind, and hurriedly said, "Young Madam, our family runs a tea shop, and we buy tea from Jifu Tea House every year. There are fewer and fewer, and the prices are getting more and more expensive, and we will be in-laws with the Ji Mansion in the future, so the price must not be the same as before, right!"

When the family was separated, Su Cheng and Su Xing still had some family property, but it has been almost wiped out in recent years, and only one person left a shop to make ends meet.

Before Su Jiu could speak, the nanny smiled and said, "Originally, I should take care of my own business, but the two ladies really made things difficult for our lady. Our lady is just a woman in the backyard, how can she meddle in a man's business matters?" ?”

"Our Yuejiu is different. We are in love with the eldest son, and the eldest son will definitely listen to what he says! Right?" The fat woman looked at Su Jiu with a grin.

"Okay, I got it, you two go back!" Su Jiu got up and walked out when she had almost heard it.

"Yuejiu!" The smile on the skinny woman's face faded a little, and she said a little embarrassedly, "We came here this time with selfish intentions, but we also sincerely want to see you, after all, we are relatives. Even if If Yuejiu doesn't help us, we are still a family, so feel free to come to Auntie if you have anything to do in the future, as long as Auntie can help, she will definitely help!"

These few words were said with a little more sincerity.

The fat woman hurriedly said, "That's what we mean too, don't be disgusted, Young Madam!"

Su Jiu just didn't feel any better, but now she was a little distracted when they heard the words. She is not Su Yuejiu, and has no affection for these two so-called relatives, but if Su Yuejiu was here, would she be so ruthless?

She took up Su Yuejiu's identity, so maybe she should do something for the Su family.

"I'll keep this in mind! Whenever there is a chance, I will definitely notify you two!" Su Jiu's voice eased a little.

When the two heard this, they immediately smiled, "With Yuejiu's words, we are content!"

"Then let's go home and wait for Xin'er!"

The two happily bid farewell to Su Jiu, and walked out of the courtyard under the leadership of their servants.

Su Jiu stood outside the door for a while before slowly returning to the study.

Ji Yuxian watched her come back and chuckled, "I thought they would be kicked out when Madam went, but I didn't expect to stay for so long!"

Su Jiu leaned over Ji Yuxian's desk, looked up at him, "Ji Yuxian, do you think if Su Yuejiu is real, would she help?"

She came down from the mountain, learned to read and understand, learned about the relationship between husband and wife, learned to do business, and learned to be the young wife of Jifu. Does she also have to learn these ways of the world?

Ji Yuxian pursed her lips and smiled, "How do I know what the real Su Yuejiu looks like?"

"Then what do you think?" Su Jiu asked.

"It should be. Most women have soft ears, and their hearts soften after hearing two good words from others!" Ji Yuxian nodded her nose and smiled dotingly.

"I'm not soft-hearted!" Su Jiu blinked her eyes, stood up and leaned on the table with her back to Ji Yuxian, and said softly, "I just think that I have assumed Su Yuejiu's identity, so I should do something for their Su family , so you can feel more at ease!"

Ji Yuxian came over and leaned on the table next to her, her phoenix eyes slightly raised, "These two Su families, one is in the silk business and the other is in the tea business. Let my husband guess, it should be a beggar. Yuyi Fang gave them some odd jobs, and one was to ask Ji Mansion to lower the price of tea!"

Su Jiu looked at her in surprise, leaned closer, rested her chin on his shoulder, and looked up at him slightly, "Young Master Ji, you can guess how many things you have in your head!"

What's even more frightening is that these two brothers from the Su family are not very important figures in Shengjing, and Ji Yuxian actually knows what kind of business each of their families is doing.

Ji Yuxian pinched her cheek and said with a smile, "Tell me how you want to help them? Beg for a husband?"

Su Jiu squinted at him, "Please, why don't you ask me?"

Ji Yuxian raised his eyebrows, "Huh?"

"I've thought about it. When the firm opens, there will be a lot of spare space in the container. I originally wanted to rent out the spare space. Now that the two of them have come to the door, I will give them one for free. This is a help!"

If the business of the firm is booming, containers are hard to come by!

"But when the time comes, I will give it to them in your name!" Su Jiu added.

Ji Yuxian nodded, "This is definitely a solution! But the quality of their goods must pass the test, so as not to affect the reputation of the firm!"

"Well, don't worry! I will let people watch!"

"That's good!"

The two agreed, so they stopped discussing the matter and changed the topic.

After a few days, Ji Yuxian sent a steward to Su Cheng and Su Xing, and was willing to give them two containers of the firm for free for one year.

The two brothers of the Su family were still a little unhappy, and they didn't understand what this firm that sold everything was doing. They thought that the Ji family just gave it to the two containers perfunctorily because of their affection.

The business of their two stores is in a downturn, and they can barely support their household. What can the two containers do?
It's just that I was embarrassed to refute the face of the people of Jifu, so I reluctantly agreed and sent the steward out.

After discussing with Qiao An, Su Jiu and Qiao An decided to name the firm Qingyu Firm.

After the remodeling of the straw paper drawn by Su Jiu, the commercial shop gradually took shape. The first floor is full of containers, selling some special products, fruits, and odds and ends of food.

The second floor sells slightly more elegant and expensive items such as silk, tea, porcelain, calligraphy and painting, and the Four Treasures of the Study.

The third floor is full of things used by women, such as dresses, rouge, gold and silver jewelry, etc.

With the original plan, the number of assistants is not small. Fortunately, Ji Yuxian has a lot of merchants, so he can find some people casually, and recruit a lot of new assistants, led by experienced old assistants. Do training in Ji's merchants first.

Su Jiu told the bodyguards that the goods brought back by the bodyguards gradually arrived in Shengjing, and they were all placed in the warehouse in the backyard of the commercial building.

In addition, Su Jiu asked people to dig a cellar in the backyard, which was specially used to store perishable fruits and other things.

There are various kinds of items sold in the business, and Su Jiu's bodyguard agency is responsible for purchasing some of them, and Ji Yuxian will supplement the rest.

In the end, two free seats were left for the two brothers of the Su family.

Su Jiu's business bank will create a new business model, which will promote the circulation of products and currencies in various places, drive bodyguards and other related industries, and promote the economic prosperity of the Daliang Dynasty. It will have a huge impact in Shengjing and even the Daliang Dynasty .

This is a later story. At this time, Su Jiu's business firm is just in its infancy. However, no one is more suitable than her to create this kind of business model.

The Qinglong Escort Agency took over the bodyguards from the original Zhiyuan Escort Bureau and continued to grow, but within a year it had become the largest Escort Bureau in Shengjing.

There are hundreds of bodyguards under him, and there are bodyguards escorted to various places in Daliang every day. This is almost the best purchasing team.

In addition, Su Jiu relied on Ji Yuxian to provide more sources of goods, which can be described as the right time, place and people.

Su Jiu also devoted a lot of energy to the firm, running around with Chang Huan, talking about the price of the purchased goods, comparing the price and quality of the goods, checking the quality of her own goods, and even what kind of goods are more important to put together. Can arouse people's desire to buy has also been investigated.

Ji Yuxian couldn't see Su Jiu every day, so he gradually became alarmed, and sent a steward and Chang Huan to investigate, and handed the investigation results to Su Jiu at night.

Su Jiu felt a lot more relaxed, but she always felt uneasy when she didn't see everything with her own eyes, so every time Ji Yuxian went out, she quickly slipped out behind her.

The people in the city were also very curious when they saw many people coming and going in and out of the building every day, wondering what such a large pavilion was used for.

This kind of curiosity is constantly contagious, so Qingyu Commercial Bank has not yet opened, and almost half of Shengjing City is already waiting for it!

As the opening was approaching, Su Jiu was even more busy, busy ordering people to distribute goods, arranging containers, and sorting out the amount. With the help of several stewards from the Ji Mansion, Su Jiu and Chang Huan were still very busy.

That day and night, Ji Yuxian waited until the time of Haishi before Su Jiu returned home, so he got into the carriage and went out to search.

The pavilions of the commercial building are tall and wide, and a huge glazed palace lantern is hung every ten feet, with night pearls on it. At night, the pavilions seem to see the moonlight, which is as clear as washing.

At this time, the clerks and busy workers had already gone home, and the attic was completely quiet. Ji Yuxian frowned and walked upstairs until he reached the third floor, but still no one was there.

Ji Yuxian frowned more and more, Jin Feng asked, "Do you want to go to the restaurant to look for it?"

Ji Yuxian shook his head lightly, walked towards the case inside, turned around the case and saw Su Jiu nest inside, already asleep.

Chang Huan was also lying on the ground, pillowing on Su Jiu's leg, and the two fell asleep soundly.

Ji Yuxian looked at the two people's intimate posture with a layer of displeasure between his brows, but his eyes were helpless. He walked over and hugged Su Jiu, and told Jin Feng behind him, "Wake up Chang Huan and let him go back to the restaurant." .”

"Yes!"

Jin Feng respectfully responded, and waited for Ji Yuxian to go downstairs before going up to call Chang Huan, "Chang Huan, wake up!"

"Hey! Wake up!"

"Boss!" Chang Huan yelled, sat up suddenly, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and stared blankly at the person in front of him, "Jin Feng?"

Jin Feng chuckled, "It's me!"

Chang Huan looked around, "Where's our boss?"

"Young Madam has already returned home, you should go back to Qingxin Building too!" Jin Feng said.

"Oh!" Chang Huan answered vaguely, got up and walked out.

"Chang Huan!" Jin Feng suddenly called out from behind, and said in a low voice, "Young Madam is our son's wife. Although Chang Huan and Young Madam grew up together since childhood, men and women are different after all. Please pay more attention in the future. Some."

Chang Huan's footsteps stopped suddenly, and Xin Chang's figure looked a little thin under the dim candlelight, but it was as straight as a bamboo.

He smiled faintly, "Boss is the closest person in the world to me, more important than my parents and brothers, just like my own life. Will Guard Jin keep a distance from his relatives?"

He turned around slowly, his phoenix eyes were as gloomy as a dark night, and he raised his eyebrows slightly, "Besides, it's not certain whether our boss will be the young lady of your Ji Mansion in the end?"

Jin Feng narrowed his eyes and looked at him solemnly.

Chang Huan's lips curled into a meaningful smile, and he turned and walked downstairs slowly.

Looking at the man's back, Jin Feng suddenly felt that the person who used to be dressed as a maidservant and followed Su Jiu was not the same person as the person in front of him, and his temperament was so different.

This person will not be an ordinary person in the future!

With a hint of worry hidden between Jin Feng's brows, he stepped up to follow.

Ji Yuxian carried Su Jiu out the door, the night breeze was cool, Su Jiu was a little more awake, closed her eyes and arched into the man's arms, muttering, "Ji Yuxian"

"Yeah!" The man responded, walked quickly to the carriage, and said softly, "Sleep, I'll take you home!"

Su Jiu nodded vaguely, and fell asleep again with peace of mind.

After all the goods were laid out and an auspicious day was chosen, Qingyu Commercial Bank officially opened.

On the opening day, with firecrackers going off and gongs and drums blaring, Su Jiu invited a group of jugglers to perform on the platform in front of Qingyu Firm, attracting nearly half of the city's crowd to watch.

Qingyu Building is three stories high, with blue tiles and vermilion roofs, and a double-heavy building with flying eaves. The pavilion is eight rooms wide, which is equivalent to the area of ​​four ordinary shops. Now a door has been opened in the middle, and the rest have been replaced with wooden windows.

The white jade railings on the attic, carved with dragons and painted with phoenixes, make you feel magnificent when viewed from a distance.

The common people have long been curious about the business, and seeing that it finally opened today, they flocked in to see what is going on inside.

As soon as he entered, his eyes widened in astonishment.

Not to mention how elegant and chic the glazed palace lanterns and mahogany railings are inside, the things sold inside are even more dazzling, making people dizzy.

Almost everything that can be bought on the street is here, and the containers are neatly and cleanly stacked, which is pleasing to the eye.

Behind the counter stood uniformly dressed guys, welcoming the people who came in with smiles.

Most of the goods sold on the first floor were sundries. Someone asked about the price of oil and rice, and it was actually cheaper than outside.

The more elegant men were led to the second floor, while the women were led to the third floor. Looking at the full of silks, satins and jewelry, they all exclaimed and their eyes lit up.

After all, in the store, there are limited styles of jewelry and clothes, but here, there are more and more exquisite styles, and you can try on dresses and jewelry at the same time.

More and more people entered the building, crowding the front of the attic.

Today, Ah Shu and Qiao An also came, standing in front of the building with Chang Huan to welcome customers, Chang Huan is the big shopkeeper of Qingyu Trading Company, standing in the middle, with a tall figure and a stable temperament, he has no longer seen the youthfulness of the past .

During this period of experience, the boy grew up rapidly.

Some women looked at the handsome Chang Huan with shy faces and kept pointing. Soon the news that there was a handsome shopkeeper in Qingyu Trading Company spread among the crowd.

Many merchants came forward to congratulate them, and they felt that the business model of a commercial bank was new and strange.

Su Jiu stood on the topmost attic, looking at the crowds of people below, feeling overwhelmed.

She had shown her face in the Ji Mansion, and many people had seen her and knew that she was the young wife of the Ji Mansion, so from now on she would just be Su Jiuye behind the scenes.

On the opposite pavilion, Ji Yuxian was standing in front of the wooden fence, looking at the young girl in brocade clothes lightly, and seeing the smile on her delicate face, he felt happy from the inside out.

Standing behind him, Jin Feng was happy for Su Jiu, "This firm has become so popular since its opening, Young Madam has really succeeded!"

Ji Yuxian's long and narrow phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, watching the men and women downstairs walking upstairs, his smile gradually faded, and he said to himself, "I'm afraid it's not that easy!"

Su Jiu stood opposite, also looking at Ji Yuxian on the pavilion.

There was a street and a sea of ​​people, but Su Jiu felt that he was within her reach.

In the past, she was independent and acted decisively without considering the consequences. Now she is more thoughtful and more stable, but because of him, she can still move forward without any scruples.

To her, he is both a teacher and a friend, and he is already an indispensable person in her life!
I just hope that seeing each other at this moment can last for a long time.

A carriage was parked behind the crowd, leaning against the side of the road, only one coachman looked into the crowd with his neck stretched out.

Soon, a man in ordinary attire came over and quietly got into the carriage.

The interior of the car was luxuriously decorated, and Zhu Hecheng, who was wearing a gray silver-patterned brocade robe, was sitting in it drinking tea.

The person who came in sat on the side and respectfully said, "Master, the little one is back!"

"How is it?" Although Zhu Hecheng's voice was light, the high-pitched tone still revealed the eagerness of the speaker.

"The little one went in and had a look, and visited all three floors, it's just for selling things!" the humane said.

"Sell something? What are you selling?" Zhu Hecheng asked.

That person hastily described everything he saw after entering Qingyu Commercial Firm.

Zhu Hecheng frowned slightly, put down the teacup in his hand, and smiled suddenly, "This way of doing business is so strange, selling everything together?"

"It's quite fresh, that's why so many people came to see it!" He was also surprised when he entered.

"This place doesn't belong to Ji's family, who is standing in front of the building?" Zhu Hecheng asked.

"The person in front of the building is called Chang Huan. He opened the Qingyu Firm. It is said that he bought this building from the Ji family at a huge price. But I also heard that the real owner behind this firm is Su. Master Jiu!"

"Su Jiuye? This name sounds familiar." Zhu Hecheng mused in thought.

"Yes, he owns the Qingyuan Restaurant on Yong'an Street, and also the Qingxin Tower on this street. By the way, there is also the Qinglong Escort Bureau. I heard that he is also in charge of it!"

Having said that, Zhu Hecheng finally remembered.

The shopkeeper of Wanfu Building even came to complain to him, saying that a lot of business in the restaurant was robbed by the newly opened Qingyuan Restaurant. Then the guy called it out.

It seemed that Zhengyuan Escort also had a conflict with this Su Jiuye before.

He took 1 taels of silver from Feng Yuntian, and gave 1 taels to Lin Fu Yin on his behalf. Unexpectedly, Lin Fu Yin changed his face on the spot in the court, revealed the matter of the money, and sealed the Zhengyuan Escort Bureau. up!
Up to now, members of the Feng family occasionally go to his house to make trouble.

It seems that his Zhu family still has some old grievances with this Su Jiuye!

"What's the origin of this Su Jiuye?" I haven't heard of it before, but as soon as he appeared, he acted so vigorously. In less than a year, he opened a restaurant security agency, and now he even has a commercial firm.

What a big ambition!
The man next to him shook his head, "I don't know, I still need to check!"

Zhu Hecheng closed his eyes and pondered. When the Qinglong Escort opened, he heard that Ji Yuxian had also arrived, and immediately entrusted the Qinglong Escort to escort all the goods from Ji's shop. Could it be that Ji's mansion is behind Su Jiuye?

But the business of the Ji Mansion is big, silk, tea, bank, river transport, etc. are all big businesses that make money, so why open a business?
Zhu Hecheng was a little puzzled, and after a while, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, "It doesn't matter who this Su Jiuye is, it's too young to start a business after opening a prosperous restaurant!"

"Yes, I think this business won't be open for too long. There are a lot of things and a lot of money. If the money can't be returned, it may close in less than a month. It's not worth the master's heart!" The man said. flattering face.

Zhu Hecheng smiled lightly, and said in a deep voice, "Okay, let's watch the excitement, let's go home!"

"Yes!"

The man responded and told the coachman to leave.

Qingyu Commercial Bank was bustling all day long, and at night it took inventory and liquidation, and was busy until late at night.

Fortunately, Ji Yuxian knew that the first day would be chaotic, so he specially sent a few accountants to help Su Jiu take care of it, so that it would not be too chaotic.

At the end of the day, after a rough calculation, the income is still considerable!

Su Jiu was happy, and gave a big red envelope to the steward and accountant each!

Qiao An has been busy until late at night, and tomorrow he has to get up early to go to the palace. Su Jiu asked Ah Shu to send Qiao An back, and by the way, Ah Shu didn't have to return to the Escort Bureau!
Chang Huan stayed in the building, and Su Jiu also returned to Ji's Mansion.

After leaving the pavilion, it was already midnight, the night wind was refreshing, and the stars were vast.

Su Jiu stretched her waist greatly. Although she was tired, she was also very excited. She was about to look for her own carriage, when she looked up, she saw the dark carriage parked not far away.

Su Jiu walked over, Jin Feng was leaning on the shaft of the car and was about to fall asleep, when he heard footsteps, he woke up suddenly, jumped out of the car and shouted respectfully, "Young Madam!"

"Thank you!" Su Jiu smiled.

"It's not hard, the young master is still waiting in the car, young lady, get in the car!" Jin Feng stepped aside.

Su Jiu nodded slightly, stepped on the footstool and got into the carriage.

Ji Yuxian was leaning on a Sichuan embroidered silver pillow to read a book. Under the candlelight, the ink was shining brightly, his long eyes were clear and handsome, and his thin lips were red, with his unique evil but elegant temperament, which made people feel at ease at a glance.

Su Jiu leaned forward, lay tiredly on his arm, closed her eyes and said lazily, "If I go back late, don't come to pick me up, I have a carriage to take me back."

Ji Yuxian put down the book, hugged her in his arms, gently kneaded her forehead with his long fingers, and said with a low smile, "I can't sleep either, so I feel more at ease here waiting for you."

"Ji Yuxian, thank you!" Su Jiu said suddenly.

She no longer knows what to thank him for, because he has helped her too much, and she knows in her heart that without Ji Yuxian, there would be no Fulong Gang and Su Jiuye today.

Ji Yuxian looked at her with lowered eyes, with sparkles in his eyes, and said with a smile, "I'm an old married couple, what can I thank you for?"

Su Jiu raised her eyebrows and didn't speak any more, she just felt leaning against his arms, smelling the familiar fragrance of water lotus, all the exhaustion from the day surged up, and she was so sleepy that she just wanted to sleep in the dark.

The carriage drove towards Ji's mansion through the long street at night, the wheels rolled and the carriage shook gently. Su Jiu was half asleep and half awake, only feeling that this was the happiest moment in her life, and she only wished that her life would be like this night.

It was night, in the back pavilion of Yuyifang, Qin Xiang came in and cut the candle wicks three times. Seeing that Lan Zhihui was still painting, she couldn't help but stepped forward and said, "Miss, it's late at night, let's sleep!"

"Go to sleep, don't worry about me!" Lan Zhihui lowered her head, the light cast a shadow on her face.

"Miss doesn't sleep, and my servant will accompany you!" Qin Xiang laughed.

Lan Zhihui focused on painting bamboo with a gloomy face.

Qin Xiang felt that since Lan Zhihui returned to the workshop, the smile on her face became less and less, and the whole person became dull, she seldom went out, except for embroidery, she was painting in the room all day.

She used to go to Ji's mansion to remit accounts in person, but now she is also the manager of the workshop.

Qin Xiang wanted to make her happy thinking about the new things in the day, and said in a relaxed tone, "Miss, do you know? A business store opened on Zhuque Street today. I heard that there are everything in it, as long as you can buy it in the shops on the street." , that store has them.”

Lan Zhihui's expression remained unchanged, but he asked in a lack of interest, "Really?"

"There is a matchmaker in our shop, and she came back and said that there are silks and jewelry in it, and there are many designs and styles." Qin Xiang said, and suddenly worried, "Will that firm steal the business from our shop? "

Lan Zhihui raised her head slightly, dipped the tip of her pen in ink to draw on the paper, and said softly, "No."

"Miss, are you sure?" Qin Xiang asked.

"We are imperial merchants, and others can't steal the business in the palace. The other ladies and wives are our regular customers. They have the arrogance of nobles, so why would they go there to buy jewelry like ordinary people?" Lan Zhihui said casually.

She has been running Yuyifang for ten years, so she is sure of these things!
Qin Xiang nodded in admiration, "Miss is right!"

A new model must have its drawbacks, especially Su Jiu lacks experience in doing business, and soon, the business of the firm fell into the cold.

In addition to the first day, people came into the building feeling fresh and bought a lot of things, but on the second day, the number of people was reduced by half.

In the following days, there were fewer people, Chang Huan was secretly worried, and asked several stewards of the Ji Mansion for advice and made some changes, but the business still did not improve.

Naturally, Su Jiu also got angry and discussed countermeasures with Qiao An and the others, but they couldn't find a solution.

Porcelain, calligraphy and painting, and the Four Treasures of the Study can be stored for a longer period of time, but the fruits brought back from other places cannot be stored for a long time, and they will rot if they cannot be sold.

Su Jiu went to Qingyu Commercial Firm, and seeing the few people there picking cheap fruits for sale, looking at the listless fellows, she felt that her blood was completely chilled by a basin of water that fell from the sky.

On the second floor, the front of the counter was deserted. Two of them were packing their things, took off the silk and satin, and carried them outside.

Su Jiu frowned, and said coldly, "What is this?"

Chang Huan rushed over, glanced at the two counter clerks, and said, "Boss, these are the two counters leased to the Su family. They just came and said they won't sell them here!"

Su Jiu understood, it must be that Su Yuejiu's two uncles saw that the business in the firm was not good, and they wanted to send someone to watch here, so they simply withdrew all the goods.

A clerk stepped forward and said, "Master Huan, I'm sorry! The shopkeeper's order, our servants can only follow the order!"

The buddy of Su Xing's family also stepped forward and said, "Master Huan, our tea is easy to get damp after being stored for a long time, so we moved it back first!"

Chang Huan smiled coldly, "Don't talk nonsense, just move away, and don't beg me to come back in the future!"

"No, no!" The boy gave a dry laugh, and beckoned people to carry the goods downstairs.

Looking at the two empty counters, Chang Huan said bitterly, "A group of short-sighted villains!"

Su Jiu's eyebrows were heavy, and she said in a low voice, "Don't blame them, after all, they are also businessmen, if they are profitable, they will plan, and if they are not profitable, they will naturally retreat!"

"Boss, what should we do?" Chang Huan asked.

During this period of time, the business in the commercial bank was not good, and many managers and employees complained, fearing that the commercial bank would be closed in the future, and they would not be able to pay their wages if they lost all their money.Fortunately, Chang Huan was able to make a turnaround, and he was able to appease everyone with a combination of kindness and power.

Su Jiu shook her head, she didn't have any clue at the moment.

Maybe it was because opening the restaurant and the bodyguard agency went too smoothly before, which made her lose her mind, and rushed in without experience, resulting in the current situation!
Now in Shengjing City, not only the merchants of the Zhu family in Zhuhe City, but also other merchants who are waiting and watching are waiting to see the joke that Yushang Bank is about to close.

Is it really a wrong decision to open a commercial bank?
