The backyard of the young master of the Zhao family is full of concubines. This is something that everyone in the capital knows. The master of the Zhao family never imagined that Bin'er would be so ridiculous. He actually went to the shop to follow him because of matters in his backyard.
Xu'er discussed these trivial matters. It would be too late to wait until Xu'er returned to Zhao's house to discuss these trivial matters. Why did she have to go to the shop to talk about it?
If this spreads out, won't people laugh at you?
Before that, the Zhao family's master thought that his son had become sensible and knew that he and Xu'er would work together to bring the Zhao family's business to a higher level. Who knew that he would be so ridiculous that he would go to the shop for the woman in the backyard.
"In addition to women, is there anything else in your backyard that needs to be dealt with? For the sake of those women in your backyard, you actually went to the shop?" Mr. Zhao said.
"Father is right, it is indeed for those women. Only Xu'er can help with this matter, so I hurried to the shop. There are too many women in my backyard, which is a bit ridiculous now that I think about it. Now it is the shop
We needed manpower, so I sent them to the shop to work. We are recruiting people anyway, so this saves us the trouble." said the young master of the Zhao family.
"They are already your women. Isn't it bad for you to do this?" Mr. Zhao asked.
"Father, I have never touched these women. Staying in the house will delay their future." The young master of the Zhao family said.
"Are you telling the truth?" Mr. Zhao asked dubiously.
"Of course it's true. Why would Bin'er lie to you?" said the young master of the Zhao family.
"In this case, I will personally make the decision to send them home. In this way, they can also be reunited with their families." Mr. Zhao said.
"Father, I originally had such a plan, but if I send them back like this, they will be swallowed up by gossip, including their family members, who will also look down on them." The young master of the Zhao family said.
"How could such a thing happen? But if they help take care of business in the shop, wouldn't it also delay them?" Mr. Zhao asked.
"Master, when the time comes, we can give them wages and then send them back to the village. When the family sees the money, they won't say anything else," said the young master of the Zhao family.
"Then why is it so troublesome? Why not just give them fifty taels of silver each and send them back?" the old man said.
"Father, we need manpower in the shop. They go to the shop to help every day. I have discussed it with them and they agree. If I give them fifty taels of silver at a time, people will be suspicious when they get home. But if
It's different if they are arranged in the shop. Even if someone is suspicious, they will know that they are not lying as long as they arrive at the shop." said the young master of the Zhao family.
"Have you really figured it out and will never bring women into the Zhao family again?" asked the Zhao family master.
"I listened to what my mother told me. If I want to marry my cousin back, the first step is to get rid of the woman in the backyard." The young master of the Zhao family said.
"What? Yue'er has now successfully approached His Highness Prince Mo. Maybe Yue'er will be sent to Prince Mo's Mansion before the end of the year. How do you plan to marry Yue'er back? Besides, Yue'er is related to the interests of the Zhao family, can you?
You can't have any ideas about her." Mr. Zhao said.
"But, this is what my mother said to me. My mother didn't object to it, so why should my father object?" said the young master of the Zhao family.
"You, you bastard, thought you had reformed your past and planned to change your mind, but you didn't expect that you were still so lustful. Did you come up with the idea of opening a shop in Licheng?" said Mr. Zhao.
The master of the Zhao family originally thought that the young master of the Zhao family really came up with it. However, the young master of the Zhao family is still so ridiculous. How could he come up with such a good plan?
"It was Xu'er's idea to open a shop in Licheng. He thought you were worried that he had little experience and would not agree to go to Licheng. That's why you said it was my idea." The young master of the Zhao family said.
"I just said why you suddenly became so successful. It turned out to be Xu'er's idea. You really disappointed me. Your mother also said that she had a way to make you learn to do business seriously. It seems that the way she said was
Take advantage of Yue'er. Tell me if you give up on this idea, even if you want to marry Yue'er, she won't agree." Mr. Zhao said angrily.
"Father, why are you doing this? What if she wants to? You can't stop her, can you?" said the young master of the Zhao family.
"Stop dreaming. There's no way Yue'er will agree to you. Well, even if Yue'er does agree, I won't agree." The master of the Zhao family said.
"Then don't expect me to learn how to do business." said the young master of the Zhao family.
"However, Xu'er told me that day that you said you would work together with him to improve the Zhao family's business. How come you seem to be a different person in the blink of an eye?" asked the Zhao family master.
"I was lying to him, father. He doesn't understand me. Don't you understand me? Am I a business material?" said the young master of the Zhao family.
"You, you... hum." Mr. Zhao was so angry that he could not finish his words.
Mr. Zhao was so angry that he couldn't say a word. Instead of staying here and being angry, it would be better to go back to the study quickly.
So, after throwing off his sleeves, he left the yard of the young master of the Zhao family.
The young master of the Zhao family lay down on the rocking chair again and closed his eyes to rest.
Carefully walked over to change the young master's cup of tea and said, "Master, why are you doing this?"
"If father knew about it, he would definitely not be able to help but tell mother, because mother is always annoying him in his ears." The young master of the Zhao family said.
"But, are you going to let me misunderstand you like this?" he said carelessly.
"Isn't this great?" said the young master of the Zhao family.
Three or four days passed like this, and there was no news from Licheng. The Zhao family originally planned to send someone there, but Uncle Xian came to the capital in person.
"Old Xian, why did you come here in person?" Mr. Zhao said with a smile.
"That plan is well written. Naturally, I want to come over in person, and then go back before the end of the year to sort things out." Uncle Xian said.
"It seems that you are very satisfied with this plan. Is there anything that needs to be adjusted?" Mr. Zhao said.
"I haven't thought yet that this plan has been written in great detail. But is this plan really written by the second young master?" Uncle Xian asked.
"It was written by Xu'er," said the young master of the Zhao family.
"I really didn't expect that he could write such a good plan in such a short time after taking over the business. It seems that I have someone to succeed me," Uncle Xian said.
"This child is indeed more promising than Bin'er. If Bin'er was half as motivated as him, he wouldn't be like this." Mr. Zhao said regretfully.
"The young master is playful, and I have tried my best," Uncle Xian said.
Uncle Xian has been following Master Zhao since he was a child. Master Zhao trusts Uncle Xian very much, so the shop in Licheng was handed over to Uncle Xian. Before that, Uncle Xian was invited back to do business with Master Zhao.
Unexpectedly, the young master of the Zhao family didn't care at all. Uncle Xian was angry and asked the master of the Zhao family to return to Licheng.
Mr. Zhao had no choice but to agree to Uncle Xian's request.
"Since you are already here, please stay for a few more days." Mr. Zhao said.
"I want to see the second young master. Isn't it convenient now?" Uncle Xian asked.
"He is still in the shop and has not come back. I will send someone to call him back." Mr. Zhao said.
"Okay, thank you, sir." Uncle Xian said.
"Business has been pretty good lately. I've also read the account books you sent me," said Mr. Zhao.
"The business in Licheng has always been very stable, and naturally it is not as profitable as in Beijing. However, this plan was delivered very timely. With this arrangement, the business in Licheng will get better and better." Uncle Xian said excitedly.
.
"What kind of business do the shops near us do?" Mr. Zhao asked.
"The one on the left is a shop that buys candied fruits and pastries, and the one on the right is a shop that sells calligraphy and paintings." Uncle Xian said.
"That's it." Mr. Zhao said.
"If there are no problems with the plan, we will negotiate the lease before the end of the year." Uncle Xian said.
"I'll leave these matters to you. I also want Bin'er and Xu'er to go to Licheng to visit together." Mr. Zhao said.
When Uncle Xian heard the Master of the Zhao family mentioning the eldest young master, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared and said: "Master, just arrange for the second young master to go alone. Anyway, he wrote the plan alone. Even if you ask the eldest son to
The young master is gone, and I'm afraid his mind is not on business."
"Bin'er is also involved in this plan, and Xu'er insists on going with Bin'er." Mr. Zhao said.
Uncle Xian thought that the master was partial again, so he gave half of the second master's credit to the eldest master.
"Master, the eldest young master does not have the ability to write this plan." Uncle Xian said.
"Actually, it was Bin'er's idea to open a shop in Licheng." Mr. Zhao said.
At this moment, Xu'er entered the main hall. After seeing Uncle Xian, he said respectfully: "Uncle Xian."
"After so many years, the second young master has grown so tall." Uncle Xian said with a smile.
"Your wise uncle wants to meet you and listen to you talk about the plan." Mr. Zhao said.
"What does Uncle Xian want to know?" the second young master asked.
"I have read the plan. It is very detailed. Even the composition of the new shop has been drawn. It is really not simple." Uncle Xian said.
"The pictures on the plan were actually drawn by my eldest brother, I just copied them," the second young master said.
"Really? He drew those pictures?" Uncle Xian asked in surprise.
"Xu'er doesn't need to lie to you, it's naturally true." The second young master said.
"Are you willing to go to Licheng with me in two days?" Uncle Xian said.
"I originally discussed it with my father and planned to visit Uncle Xian with my eldest brother in a few days. Now that Uncle Xian has come in person, we should go back with you," the second young master said.
Uncle Xian and the master stayed in the front hall to talk. After the second young master left, he went to the yard of the young master of the Zhao family.
"Brother, brother, guess who is here?" the second young master said with a smile.
"Of course Uncle Xian from Licheng is here." The young master of the Zhao family said casually.
"Uncle Xian came here in person, which proves that our plan was half successful. Uncle Xian came here this time just to deal with the shop next door. By the way, he also said that we could follow him to Licheng in a few days. I
Tell him that we two brothers will go together then," the second young master said.
"Is he reluctant for us to go together?" the young master of the Zhao family asked.
"Uncle Xian didn't say anything, but why was he reluctant?" the second young master said.
