The daughter of the splendid good fortune is respected

Chapter 443 The First Day of Business Opening (6)
Xiao Mingyu was surprised when the carriage stopped suddenly.Han Ba ​​whispered: "Girl, I seem to have seen Aunt Zhu."

Wish Auntie?A figure appeared in Xiao Mingyu's mind, his face was already blurred, but he only remembered that it was a timid woman.Xiao Mingyu raised the curtain and looked out.Looking in the direction of Han Ba's finger, it was a roadside stall selling some rouge and gouache.This is not the key, the key is that there is someone beside Aunt Zhu, a man.Judging by his attire, he is a street peddler.The hawker is only in his twenties, and his face is still a little green.Aunt Zhu was talking to the peddler, with a bit of intimacy in her attitude.Everyone can see that the relationship between the two is not ordinary.

After buying rouge and gouache, Aunt Zhu left with the vendor. The two were talking and laughing, very close.

Xiao Mingyu gritted his teeth, and ordered: "Han Ba, find someone to follow and see what these two people have done. Where does that man live?"

"Subordinates obey."

Xiao Mingyu put down a serious face, lowered the curtain, and said, "Let's go."

The carriage started, but Xiao Mingyu couldn't calm down.

Although I really don't want to admit it, it is true that Aunt Zhu is Xiao Maoyang's concubine.I put Aunt Zhu in the small courtyard for more than a year, and I never cared about this person, but I didn't expect to meet again, it turned out to be like this.

After returning home, Xiao Mingyu found Nanny Feng, "Mommy, how is Auntie's situation?"

Nanny Feng was very surprised, how could Xiao Mingyu suddenly ask about Aunt Zhu.Nanny Feng replied honestly, "My lady, I haven't visited for a few days. I don't know how I wish my aunt now. But I think it should be the same as before. I spend all day doing needlework in the room."

"Really, when I came back today, I met Aunt Zhu on the road, she was buying rouge and powder." Xiao Mingyu did not mention that there was a strange man beside Aunt Zhu.

Mother Feng was startled, "Here, that slave girl will go over there now to have a look. Did the lady guarding the door neglect her duty and let him out?"

Xiao Mingyu raised his hand and said in a cold voice: "Nurse, tell me the truth, Aunt Zhu lives there, can she go out and walk around at any time. Do you also have contacts with the neighbors around?"

Nanny Feng felt guilty.

Xiao Mingyu sneered, "Why, do you still want to hide it from me?" Aunt Zhu's behavior didn't look like she ran away secretly, and Xiao Mingyu was confident that she still had this vision.

Nanny Feng looked very nervous, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Miss, forgive me. Then when Aunt Zhu moved in, everyone obeyed the girl's orders and stared at her closely. But Aunt Zhu is honest, I never make trouble, just do needlework. After a long time, everyone is familiar with it, so the guards are not so strict. After all, Aunt Zhu is a young man with a love of beauty. She wants to go out to learn more and buy some Rouge and gouache are also human nature. So..."

"That's why I opened the door of convenience for Aunt Zhu so that she can go out at any time, right?"

"Girl, the servant is wrong. It's the servant who didn't take care of that side, please punish me." Mother Feng was also very wronged, she never thought that Xiao Mingyu would think of Aunt Zhu.It's also because of Aunt Zhu's bad luck that Xiao Mingyu bumped into her going out.

Xiao Mingyu sneered, "It's natural to punish you. But don't worry about Aunt Zhu's side for now, I have other arrangements."

"The servant listens to the girl."

"Go down and get the punishment yourself. The rules are clearly written, and you should follow the rules for how you should be punished."

Xiao Mingyu dismissed Nanny Feng and waited for news from Han Ba.

When it was getting dark, Shen Minyou and Feng Changgen first came to pay the bill.Both of them were very excited, "Girl, on the first day of opening today, we sold [-] copies. Later, the hands of the workers were sore. If it wasn't for the lack of preparation in the kitchen, I think we sold three thousand copies a day." Thousands of servings are possible. And because our meals are plentiful, there is oil, water, and white rice, not only those who work as coolies on the pier, but also people around the house come to us to buy meals to go back.”

Xiao Mingyu opened the ledger and read it, and said: "Very good, from now on, you don't have to pay the ledger every day, but once a month. I am very relieved of you. Besides, you will prepare according to the amount of [-] copies tomorrow. If there are not enough people , Feng Changgen, you are in charge of recruiting people. You must find smart and responsible people, and you can’t find people who sneak around, you know? Even favors are not acceptable. My place is for business, not for favors.”

"Don't worry, girl, the villain understands. What about the money received today?" Feng Changgen asked worriedly.

Xiao Mingyu smiled and said: "The money is kept by Shen Min. If you want to buy anything, you can use the money from him. Shen Min has enough for the daily expenses of the shop, and the rest of the money will be exchanged into taels before sending it back, you know? ?”

"Don't worry, girl, I won't let you down. But the villain has a small proposal. Recently, silver is cheap and copper is expensive. The villain thinks it's better to wait a little while to see the market situation, and then exchange it into gold and silver. I don't know what the girl thinks." How about next?"

Xiao Mingyu rubbed the center of his brows, "The exchange ratio between copper coins and silver often changes, and there are many ways to do it. You can figure out a way for this matter for the time being, and I won't participate."

Xiao Mingyu wanted to wait until he figured out the doorway here before participating in the money exchange.In fact, silver and copper exchange is also a business, but the risk is relatively high.Xiao Mingyu is temporarily incapable of participating in it, let alone manipulating the exchange rate, but Xiao Mingyu does not intend to never participate.Since you want to participate, you must understand how the silver and copper coin markets in Zhongzhou are structured.

After sending the two away, Han Bacai brought back the news. "Reporting to Miss, the matter has been clarified. The person who is with Aunt Zhu again today is called Sun Mengxian, who lives in the alley in the small courtyard where Aunt Zhu lives. She used to be a helper for others, but recently she saved some money. Opened a food stall, and went to the morning and evening market every day. He and Aunt Zhu met half a year ago, and the details have not been found out yet. Sun Mengxian does not know the exact identity of Aunt Zhu, and only thinks she is a widowed little daughter-in-law. There are two elder brothers in Sun Mengxian's family. Both elder brothers have already married, their parents are still alive, and they live with his two elder brothers. The three brothers have separated, and he only has one room. Sun Mengxian obviously has a crush on Aunt Zhu and wants to Marry Aunt Zhu as his wife. Looking at Aunt Zhu also has that kind of meaning, but Aunt Zhu has never revealed her identity."

Xiao Mingyu laughed, "Where's the lady guarding the door? Where's the helper inside? Don't they know about Aunt Zhu and Sun Mengxian? If they knew, why didn't they expose Aunt Zhu, why did they help Aunt Zhu to cover up."

"Reporting to Miss, Aunt Zhu has a good relationship with the two wives in the yard, both of them think that Aunt Zhu was rejected by the master, maybe they thought that Aunt Zhu followed Sun Mengxian is a way out, so they didn't say anything. Not only did she keep quiet, but she also helped Aunt Zhu cover up on weekdays."
