Not only did Shi Yuhua know that Shi Fuxin was going to open a Hongyanxiao branch with the Shi sisters, but the other two aunts who married outside also heard the news.
Shi Yuhua returned to the uncle's house on the front foot, and Shi Yuwen and Shi Yuru arrived on the back foot, both of whom also brought their daughters.
When several people arrived at Yixiang Hall, they happened to see Shi Yuhua angrily pointing at Shi Fuxin, while Shi Fuxin smiled lightly and seemed indifferent.
Seeing the two concubines coming back, Mrs. Shi rubbed her forehead with a tired look on her face. Mrs. Shi Da and Mrs. Shi Qi were calm even though their expressions were strange, but Mrs. Shi Wu was slightly uneasy.
There are only ten Hongyanxiao branches. If a married aunt wants to compete for a spot, she will have to give up sometimes.
The fifth-bred girl is a concubine, so she can't compete with the larger one from the direct descendants. The seventh-bred girl, when the time comes, the only one who will give up will be the girl from the fifth-bred girl.
Mrs. Shi Wu regretted it so much at this moment. Why did she go crazy and talk to Shi Yuhua just now? She knew what it meant to shoot herself in the foot.
"Third aunt, sixth aunt!"
Shi Fuxin smiled at Shi Yuwen, and Shi Yuru saw the gift and said hello to her cousins. As a lady, she always felt that her etiquette in front of outsiders was quite good.
"I haven't seen you come back to pay your respects to my father and mother on weekdays. Why are you back today?"
Knowing that the two concubines also came back to open a branch because of Hongyanxiao, Shi Yuhua felt the crisis, put away her anger towards Shi Fuxin, and looked at the two of them with some yin and yang.
Shi Yuwen and Shi Yuru seemed not to have heard the sarcasm in Shi Yuhua's mouth. After greeting her, they took their daughter to pay their respects to Mrs. Shi.
As soon as the two aunts came back, it was hard for Shi Fuxin to leave immediately. She happened to also want to see what Mrs. Shi and others had decided, so she simply sat down again.
"Cousin Xin, I heard that your Hongyanxiao is going to open a branch?"
While the three aunts and Mrs. Shi's fourth mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were chatting thoughtfully, Shi Yuru's daughter Yuan Manting smiled and sat next to Shi Fuxin, and took the initiative to ask Hongyanxiao about opening a branch.
Shi Fuxin glanced at the cousin Yuan in front of her who was only a few months older than her, and nodded with a smile: "That's right."
Yuan Manting looked at Shi Fuxin with admiration and said: "Cousin Xin, you are so amazing. Do you know that after your beauty started to smile, I often frequented there, but I didn't go shopping, I just went
Watching the flow of people."
"The business of Hongyanxiao is really good. I have carefully calculated that there are over a thousand people entering the store every day. This is not what I admire most. What I admire most is that almost all the people who go in buy something.
It’s reached 70% to 80%.”
"I have watched my family do business since I was a child, and I often go to Yuan's shop. I have never seen such a high transaction rate."
"Cousin Xin, Hongyanxiao's business is so good, it's really wise for you to choose to open a branch."
"If you want to open a branch, you will definitely need manpower. Can you choose me? Don't worry, I am not an ungrateful person who just sits there and enjoys the success. When I make money in the future, I will do my best to repay you."
Compared with Shi Yuhua who wanted to obtain the qualifications to open a branch through blood relations, Yuan Manting's direct and sincere words were much more clever.
At least for Shi Fuxin, she liked this trick very much.
No, after hearing what Yuan Manting said, Shi Fuxin did not refuse directly, nor did she want to respond like Shi Yuhua by asking Yuan Manting to compete with the girls from the Shi family for a spot.
When Shi Yuru saw that her daughter actually approached Shi Fuxin directly and told her that she wanted to open a Hongyanxiao branch, her heart tightened. Although she didn't have much contact with her, she knew from the fact that Shi Fuxin dared to show her face to her sister several times that she was not a
Easy to talk to.
But she never expected that Shi Fuxin didn't change her face after hearing her daughter's words.
Shi Yuru suddenly remembered a saying her husband often said: Don't use your brain when doing business. Directness and sincerity are the most impressive things.
Could Man Ting really get the chance to open a branch?
To be honest, before returning home, she never thought that they would really get the chance.
Being a concubine is enough for Shi Yu
Hua has suppressed them all their lives.
But even if there was no chance, she and her third sister still came back.
Why?
Because I am unwilling and dissatisfied.
They are all aunts who married outside. Why should Shi Yuhua have to go if something good happens in the house? Even if they don't get it, they still have to hate their aunt and sister.
Yes, Shi Yuhua was the best married woman, but in terms of contribution to her natal family, she and her third sister were no worse than her.
The Yuan family was engaged in business, and during the holidays, when did she not prepare generous gifts for her family? Sometimes the house needed money, and she never shied away from it.
Even the Pan family, the third sister's in-laws, helped the seventh brother a lot when he entered Qianji Academy to become a master.
On the other hand, the Wei family, apart from being a higher-ranking family, has never done anything real for the uncle's house.
The Pan family is a family of officials. Although the head of the family, Mr. Pan, is only a fifth-grade doctor of the Ministry of Etiquette, he attaches great importance to rules and is very strict in the upbringing of his children and grandchildren.
When Shi Yuwen saw Yuan Manting taking the initiative to get close to Shi Fuxin, she hurriedly tried to show her daughter Pan Yutong some favors.
Although Pan Yutong was a little embarrassed, he still stood up and sat next to Shi Fuxin, blushing and said: "Sister Xin, Hongyanxiao's business is so good, I'm very greedy."
Well......
After hearing her daughter's words, Shi Yuwen raised her hands to cover her face and didn't want to see anyone.
My daughter is telling the truth, but the truth should not be spoken nonsense.
Before Yuwen could finish her annoyance, Pan Yutong said again: "Sister Xin, I'm engaged, but my grandfather is too honest, so I don't have any dowry."
"I want to make money and stand up for my husband's family. Can you help me?"
Mrs. Shi Qi quickly glanced at Pan Yutong, her eyes flashing.
I didn't notice it. This girl Yutong seems a bit shy and dull, but I never thought she was actually a smart girl!
From the chat between Man Ting and Sister Xin, it can be seen that Sister Xin likes direct people, and then directly expresses her true thoughts, and can also take the initiative to ask for help, which is even more rare.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Looking at Shi Fuxin who had a headache, Mrs. Shi Wu wanted to laugh a little. She felt as if she knew how to get along with this girl in the future.
Sister Xin's temperament is that if you are tough, she will be tougher than you; if you take the initiative to show weakness, you may gain unexpected rewards.
Man Ting and Yu Tong are living examples.
If Mrs. Shi Qi could see it, Mrs. Shi Lao and Mrs. Shi could naturally also see it. Even Shi Yuhua became thoughtful.
When the girls of the Shi family saw that Shi Fuxin did not directly reject Yuan Manting and Pan Yutong, except for the seventh daughter Shi Fulin, the fifth daughter Shi Fulin, the fifth daughter Shi Fujing, and the ninth daughter Shi Fujing, they were not worried at all, while the others were a little nervous.
Once Sixth Sister (Sixth Sister) agrees to the two of them, if the number of branches is not increased, does that mean that some of them will lose the opportunity to open a store?
Just when the adults thought they had figured out Shi Fuxin's temperament and thought she would relent and open a few more branches, Shi Fuxin looked at Yuan Manting and Pan Yutong with an apologetic look.
"Two cousins, Hongyanxiao opened a branch. I'm not just doing it to make money."
After saying that, Shi Fuxin looked at Mrs. Shi and others, "After our family came to Beijing from the northwest, we have always relied on the government to take care of us. I opened a shop, and my grandmother and aunt gave me several more servants. These, we
The whole family is very grateful."
"I have always thought that although we are all blood relatives, if the government only allows the government to take care of our family without any return from us, even the deepest feelings will fade away."
Hearing these words, Mrs. Shi Lao, Mrs. Shi Da, and Mrs. Shi Qi's eyes all flashed.
emotion?
How much affection does the second son (fourth brother | fourth brother) have with his family?
Sister Xin's words are aimed at them, so you have to listen to them in reverse.
The mansion actually didn't do much to help the second son (fourth brother | fourth brother) and his family. The mansion only relied on blood ties to maintain relations with them.
"I am the daughter of the Shi family, and I should interact with my sisters in the family.
Support."
"There are only ten branches of Hongyanxiao. According to my plan, each of the Shi sisters will open one."
"Now my three aunts and several cousins are also thinking about it. I really don't know what to do."
As he said that, he looked at Mrs. Shi and others with a smile, "Fortunately, my grandmother, aunt, fifth aunt, and seventh aunt are here at home. I am the younger generation, and everything is subject to the arrangements of the elders."
"There are only ten places. You can decide how to allocate them."
Shi Fuxin stood up and said, "Grandma, I really have something to do over there, so I'm going back first."
Mrs. Shi took a deep look at Shi Fuxin, said nothing, and waved her hand.
It’s a good idea to follow the arrangements of your elders!
Originally it was the girls of the Shi family who opened the shop, but if she took the initiative and gave the places to a few cousin girls, the granddaughter of the family would hate her to death!
This girl...
Mrs. Shi sighed heavily in her heart, she was so smart that it gave people a headache.
Mrs. Shi Da and Mrs. Shi Qi also looked at each other, and they could see the helplessness in each other's eyes.
I thought that Sister Xin was a soft-spoken woman, but I never thought that she would be a soft-spoken woman!
...
"Fourth younger brother and sister, you didn't say anything about Sister Xin. Do your calculations. How many times has she openly contradicted me, my aunt?"
But Shi Fuxin couldn't help it, and he knew that Mrs. Shi couldn't easily allocate the girl's place to herself, so Shi Yuhua had no choice but to find Jin Yue'e.
If it was about other things, she wouldn't be angry with her, but it was related to her daughter's future, so she had to humble herself to find this mountain villager sibling whom she had always looked down upon.
If my daughter opens a Hongyanxiao branch, it will be much easier to propose marriage in the coming year.
In today's circle of female relatives in the capital, there are very few people who don't know how to smile from a beautiful girl.
Every time she goes to Hongyanxiao, she can meet some noble people that she would never come into contact with on ordinary days. This is the best place to make connections.
Not only can she make money and meet noble people, she must win the opportunity for her daughter to open a Hongyanxiao branch.
"Fourth brother and sister, you are talking."
In the past, Jin Yue'e was a little afraid of this aunt, but with the progress of her children and the daily guidance of her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, she is now able to be a noble lady with ease.
"Second sister, you also know that I am just an ignorant woman. I know nothing and can't do anything. I can't help the children. Therefore, I will not interfere in the children's affairs."
"you......"
Looking at Jin Yue'e, who had a calm look and a firm tone, Shi Yuhua discovered that the fourth sibling whom she had always looked down upon, who was a little reserved, coy, and unworthy of publicity, seemed to be missing.
Not only would he answer questions that were wrong, but he would also avoid the important ones and try to silence her with words.
"In the past two years, your mother and sister-in-law have trained you very well." Shi Yuhua chuckled sarcastically.
Jin Yue'e was not annoyed and nodded in agreement: "My mother and sister-in-law have really helped me a lot."
Shi Yuhua didn't want to beat around the bush anymore and said straight to the point: "Fourth brother and sister, my fourth brother and I are siblings. We don't look at the monk's face and the Buddha's face. Just let Sister Xin lead my Ruoxi to open a branch."
Jin Yue'e shook her head: "Second sister, your relationship with the head of the family has nothing to do with the children."
When Shi Yuhua saw that Jin Yue'e didn't let go, she suddenly became angry: "Do you have to go so far?"
Jin Yue'e looked at Shi Yuhua in confusion: "Too much? If you don't do things according to the second sister's wishes, is it too much?" After saying that, she paused and said, "Second sister, do you still remember that when we first returned to Beijing, you and our family
The scene of the first meeting?”
"Speaking of going too far, you were the one who went too far back then."
Shi Yuhua laughed out loud: "You really do hate me."
Jin Yue'e looked at her: "Isn't it right? My sister Xin loves her father the most. If you treat the head of the family like a sister, sister Xin will also respect you."
Shi Yuhua was quilt
I was speechless.
Jin Yue'e didn't want to quarrel: "Second sister, didn't Sister Xin say that there are ten branches? You go discuss it with mother and the others. No matter how you allocate it, she will do it."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Shi Yuhua laughed angrily. Do you really think she can't see Shi Fuxin's sinister intentions?
Even if she really forced her mother to allocate a place to Ruoxi, then she and her natal family would be completely separated.
"Okay, very good, Mrs. Jin, I hope you won't have to ask me for help one day. We'll see!"
Seeing Shi Yuhua leaving angrily, Jin Yue'e let out a heavy breath.
When Zhang's mother saw it, she smiled and brought the tea over: "The fourth lady just dealt with it very appropriately."
Ever since Shi Dingxuan entered the palace and became an imperial guard, Zhang's mother had completely devoted herself to Jin Yue'e.
Jin Yue'e nodded and said, "I have to be tough. I can't be easily manipulated by others. That would be too embarrassing for the head of the family and the children."
...
"Fourth sister, can you calm down for a while? You are walking around so much that I feel dizzy."
After the girl from the Shi family came out of Yixiang Hall, she came to the pavilion in the back garden.
Shi Fulin looked at Shi Fuyao who was fidgeting angrily, feeling that she had disgraced her husband.
Shi Fuyao was the concubine of the eldest family, the fourth among the sisters. She had grown hair this year, and her aunt was already looking after her.
She is a concubine, and her aunt has no self-esteem. When she gets married, she will definitely not have much dowry.
She was really happy that the sixth sister was willing to take them to open a branch.
With the reputation of Hongyanxiao in the capital, if she marries into her husband's family in the future, she will not only be able to earn money, but she will also be able to contact the outside world through Hongyanxiao, so she won't have to be locked up in the back house all the time.
She really needs this opportunity.
Shi Fuyao was the concubine of the eldest family, so it was not easy for her to refute Shi Fulin in public, but Shi Fuzhen of the seventh eldest family had no such scruples and said directly to Shi Fulin: "It's normal for the fourth sister and the others to be worried. You are the eldest sister."
My aunt's darling, you have a share in opening the branch, but the fourth sister and others may not."
Shi Fulin snorted: "Luckily you still think of yourself as smart, so there's nothing to worry about. With Sister Six's temperament, how could she let Cousin Wei get involved in the Hongyanxiao branch?"
As he spoke, he hummed again.
"Sixth sister is so smart. It is said that the decision is made by the grandmothers, but do the grandmothers have a choice? Isn't it clear at a glance which one is more distant between the granddaughter and the biological granddaughter?"
Shi Fuzhen was stunned for a moment, then suddenly patted his head: "Why didn't I think of this?"
Shi Fulin smiled proudly: "Fifth sister, you sometimes make miscalculations." Then she looked at the worried concubines of the Shi family.
"Grandma is famous for protecting the Shi family, you should know this."
"Even if you don't know this, you still don't know Sixth Sister's temperament? Considering her relationship with Second Aunt, do you think she will greet Cousin Wei with a smile?"
"This is an opportunity that even my second aunt can't get, let alone my third and sixth aunts."
"Hey, you guys, your brains are not very bright."
Shi Fulin usually has a somewhat arrogant temper, and the sisters at home are actually somewhat dissatisfied with her, but today, everyone looked at her with particularly gentle eyes.
Shi Fulin looked a little dazed: "Hey, although I don't like Sixth Sister very much, I still admire her. She seems to have left the choice to her grandmother and the others, but in fact, what she really wants to express is,
She has the final say about Hongyanxiao."
After hearing this, Shi Fulin thought about it and looked at Shi Fulin with admiration.
Yes, when the grandmother called the sixth sister to meet the second aunt at Yixiang Hall, the sixth sister was already dissatisfied.
Giving the choice to grandma is actually a disguised form of punishment.
One side is her biological granddaughter, the other side is her granddaughter. No matter which side she chooses, the other side will definitely complain about her.
Seeing that it was getting late, Shi Fulin stood up and said, "Okay, put your heart back in your stomach. The Hongyanxiao branch can only be opened by our sisters.
"
As he spoke, he waved the Hongyanxiao branch manual in his hand.
"You have seen how tough Sister Six is. Go back and memorize the contents of the manual. If we really violate her rules, she will really not let us continue to open the store."
