A Dream of Red Mansions Unexpected Visitors

Sister Feng finally got some free time these days, so she came to look for Daiyu and Qingxuan.Qingxuan's previous words were naturally not to coax her, so he had discussed it with Daiyu long ago.Most of the things that Lin Ruhai left behind were gold, silver and jewelry, and the rest was the Dazhuangzi in the north. Of course, Wang Xifeng couldn't talk about these things, so he could only make decisions on the shop.If Jia Mu hadn't asked Qingxuan to bring back the things she had put in her place a few days ago, Daiyu wouldn't have been able to openly hand out a large sum of money!

Now that the name is right and proper at this moment, Qingxuan and Sister Feng are talking about expanding business.After drinking a cup of tea, Sister Feng said to Qingxuan: "Good girl, can you tell me a good way to get money right now, but it made me think about it for a long time?"

Qingxuan said with a smile: "Second Mistress, don't worry, we naturally need to find something suitable for Second Mistress. If you are young, anyone can do it, and how can you show Second Mistress' ability. Second Mistress, you have seen our girl How is the business of your rouge shop?"

Sister Feng's eyes lit up, and said: "Are you asking me to join in?" She frowned again, "No, this situation is too small, besides, I think everyone in the capital knows about your Dianzhuang Pavilion, even if I go, I can do it again." What, but it's still such a big situation, if we go to other provinces, we don't have the manpower, and you never use the name of Rongguo Mansion, so you won't be bullied?"

Qingxuan smiled and said: "Second Grandma's thinking is too small. Is the Suzhou embroidery brought by our girl from the south of the Yangtze River worse than the ones that come in? I can't see it. What we think is that the rouge is full of capital. Ladies and gentlemen like it, this material, this Jiangnan jewelry, isn’t it novel and not good-looking, as well as those Western jewelry from Guangdong and the moving mechanical boat, etc., I heard that it is ten times more profitable!”

Sister Feng nodded again and again, and then said: "I also admit that these are good things, but the noble ladies we usually go out think that these things are not dignified and not elegant, so they are just for the girls to bring for a while now and then. Forget it, this business is not easy to do.”

Daiyu looked at Qingxuan and said with a smile: "I really lost. Before I said I would let Sister Feng be in charge, I started worrying about us." As he said, he should be the shopkeeper first.

Sister Feng smiled and said, "Okay, how dare you bet on me, why don't you hurry up and bribe me with good things, or be careful that I say you are disrespectful to elder sister." After finishing speaking, she couldn't help laughing.

Qingxuan said: "Second Grandma, this is why we came to you. This job is for you. The others are either shy and unable to speak, or they are young ladies who can't go out. Even those who have never been able to find someone with your identity."

Sister Feng became more and more curious when she said this, and asked: "Listening to what you said, you don't want me to be the master to look at the account book and divide it. What is it, why don't you recruit it quickly?"

Daiyu pursed her lips and said with a smile: "During this period of time, Sister Qingxuan and I have also discussed it. It is true that the smell of wine is also afraid that the alley will be deep. If the things are good, someone must be the first to wear them. Sister Feng Now I think you can't live without this position of housekeeper. That being the case, the people that Sister Feng meets are all ladies from the Hou family and family friends when they drink and drink on weekdays. You have to hold on for the sake of face. At that time, sister Feng, you wear our things and go out to socialize. When the ladies ask, you just say that it is our shop, our clothing and jewelry shop, even if you only open one in the capital, you must Be unique."

Then Sister Feng came to a sudden, pretending to be angry and said: "Are you using me as a shelf to wear clothes, or a shelf to wear jewelry?"

Qingxuan also knew that Sister Feng was not really angry, and said: "Is there anyone in the family who comes and goes like Second Grandma, who is as friendly and friendly as our young lady, and also looks so good-looking, and can speak so well, and looks good in everything he wears."

Sister Feng said with a smile: "Since that's the case, I have to help you. I'm just a brother. Let's settle the accounts clearly. Let's make an agreement now, so as not to worry about anything in the future."

Qingxuan said: "The second grandma also knows that you are privately owned. If the second wife knows that you have so much money, you have to ask you not to pay her. But the cost is at least 8 to [-] taels Silver, your dowry is not all cash, so it can’t be rumored that the grandma in charge of the Rongguo Mansion is pawning things. If the silver is paid from the public, the second wife will definitely think it is something from the whole mansion, and there will be dividends at the end of the year, so it’s impossible to say We are absolutely unwilling to give our girl a few taels of silver directly through this dividend. Therefore, we can only ask the second grandma to pay as much silver as you have, and the rest of the things in our shop will be sold. Second Mistress, let the wives and ladies in the house buy a lot of it, and the money you earn is much more than ordinary shops, so we will give you [-]% from it, how about it?"

Sister Feng was very troubled, she was very reluctant to part with this good business of earning money, but the family visit had already emptied the house, even if she asked Mrs. Wang for money, she still had to subsidize it. At that time, Jia Lian brought back 2 taels for herself The money has been spent without even making a sound, and I can't take out all my dowry, what if the business loses!On the contrary, Qingxuan and Daiyu had a good idea. With their own abilities, those grandmas still had to go. If they got 1% for nothing, they would lose money. If everything in the shop was sold, they could get it back, so He smiled and said, "Thank you two sisters for being considerate of me. It's only natural. Since you all know that I have no money and I don't trust you, you just offered [-] taels of silver. It's just the shop?"

Qingxuan said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about this second grandma. A few days ago, she said that she wanted to expand her business. The shopkeeper of the rouge shop even bought the two shops on both sides. They also happened to sell cosmetics, and they were robbed of a lot of business by the makeup shop. We simply sold it, and we bought it. The Rouge shop originally had three rooms, and there was a yard at the back, which added up to enough space. The money we bought was 7 taels, and the shop counted for 3 taels, and the second grandmother accounted for [-]% The rouge shop is a play between the young lady and the sisters, not included in it, the rest of the clothing shop is called Tianchengju, and the jewelry shop is called Mingyan Pavilion, how about second grandma's joining?"

Sister Feng thought that she had taken advantage of it, and the cost was only 10 taels of silver, not to mention that there were more than 3 taels of shop in a good place in the capital. No matter how much money the rouge shop made, it was only a few thousand taels a year. A set of jewelry would be enough Well, the Yingluo collar on my body alone costs 800 taels of silver, so naturally I don't care about the dividends from the rouge shop.Instead, he asked: "Then, do you have anyone who buys this stuff?"

Qingxuan Daiyu looked at each other and smiled.Qingxuan said: "God is also helping us, Sister Feng, have you heard about the beating of Uncle Xue's family?"

Sister Feng smiled contemptuously, and said: "Of course I heard that Xue Pan is not a good guy, there is such a poor person as Xiang Ling, and he even fell in love with Liu Xianglian. No wonder he was beaten up. Liu Xianglian is also a child of an aristocratic family, but he just likes to play tricks. Fortunately, he didn't ask our family for help, otherwise Liu's family is also the descendant of the Eight Dukes, so how could I be ashamed, but somehow I heard that Liu Xianglian escaped outside, but It made me puzzled. To be honest, what is the Xue family without the Rongguo Mansion talking, even we can't help such a strong person."

Qingxuan said with a smile: "It's also a coincidence. There are also some dirty things in Liu Erye's family. Because both of his parents died, the clansmen also had evil intentions to occupy his family property, and his aunt wanted to take his own property." The niece told him, so he wanted to hide. It’s just that he usually loves martial arts, and he came to our Lin family’s Zhuangzi. It happened that the Zhuangtou heard about this and knew that he had martial arts, so he asked him to bring the goods back. Follow Shang The team has convenient board and lodging and remuneration. He is also a loose-handed person, and he is very happy. He just asks to drink every day. We think it is very convenient to have such a person, so we agree, but we don’t let him get drunk. The rest, It is because the Xue family is not as good as before, and those shopkeepers who came out were recruited by us."

Sister Feng clapped her hands happily, and said: "This is really destined." Qingxuan also promised to send Sister Feng the monthly account books. , and agreed to send the silver to the Rouge shop quietly the next day, and wait for the goods to come back.After the negotiation was over, the bill was signed, and Ping'er had already urged her twice, so Sister Feng left in a hurry.

Daiyu saw that Sister Feng was gone, and said to Qingxuan: "Sister, you lied just now and I didn't expose it. How could the shopkeeper of Xue's family be recruited by us? We are just a small shop now. How can those who were in charge of big business in the past take care of me?" Got it."

Qingxuan smiled and said: "Miss Bao is also pitiful. My brother is such a person, and my aunt has soft ears. A few days ago, business was not as good as before. My aunt only said that the shopkeeper was tricky, not that she was not good at being a family member. A lot of people have to be laid off to save money. Didn't I see that Miss Bao became more sincere to her after she knew that she could not be with the second master? I don’t think the matter of attacking people has been resolved so far, so Miss Bao came to ask us to take her in, and I accepted it first. Anyway, she has no control over it. Isn’t it the same as us inviting those people to go out and being invited by others? She also Smart, just say that if the Xue family gets up in the future, let us promise to let those people go back if they agree, what should I do? Even if those shopkeepers are reluctant now, in the future when our business grows, why are we unwilling? Yes, if the business is not good, they ask for it on their own, because we are not capable enough. Besides, I think as long as Xue Pan is still the head of the Xue family, this day will be difficult."

Daiyu nodded Qingxuan with her finger: "You, you, I really help you and I have to ask you." But she didn't say anything, and just decided not to mention this matter.Sure enough, after waiting for several months, Liu Xianglian came back with someone, and on the way rescued Xue Pan who was embarrassed by the beating and hid. This matter will be resolved next time.The things she brought back were very numerous and novel. Sister Feng's confidence was soaring. She didn't mention it when she went to wear it for publicity. No, there is only a lot of publicity, needless to say.

The author has something to say:

I decided to make Liu Xianglian's fate better. Also, the author is a novice in business. Please forgive me if I made a mistake. Don't lose points.

Jewelry should be very expensive. There is a chapter in the original book that Sister Feng’s jewelry costs 400 taels, so it must be more expensive when you buy it.
