This female shopkeeper's surname is Dong, and she is born with a smile. She smiles before anyone speaks, and her face is full of kindness and joy, which makes people feel close to her when they see her. Mrs. Dong is only twenty-seven or eighty-year-old. Unfortunately, she has a hard life and has already kept it.
I have been a widow for eleven years. I was originally a concubine from a wealthy family, but later I married a civil servant and became the mistress of the family.
I thought that life would go on so well, but it was a pity that in the second year after marrying Mrs. Dong, the master fell ill with lung disease without leaving her a son and a half.
There were so many disputes at ****'s door, let alone such a young and beautiful newly widowed woman. Mrs. Dong lived a miserable life for several years. Later, even her husband's family thought she was redundant and simply kicked her out. She was obviously a good family.
The young lady almost couldn't survive in the end.
Fortunately, Hua Xiaogu opened a Ruyi Zhai, and only accepted female waiters. In order to make a living, Mrs. Dong lived alone and was looked down upon by others. Instead, she came to Ruyi Zhai, living with her sisters every day, and having Hua Xiaogu as her assistant.
With a backer and no one to bully me, life got better and better.
Hua Xiaogu also likes Mrs. Dong very much. After all, she was once a concubine from a wealthy family. She is very familiar with some of the rules of ladies in the capital. Moreover, because she was a concubine and a widower in her husband's family for many years, she knows a lot about the ways of the world and is good at it.
Observe people's words and be cautious in doing things. The most rare thing is that Mrs. Dong is born with an optimistic attitude. No matter how hard life is, the smile never disappears from her face.
Therefore, after observing it for a period of time, Hua Xiaogu felt relieved and handed over his Ruyizhai to Mrs. Dong, letting her become the female shopkeeper of Ruyizhai.
At this moment, Mrs. Dong was wearing the clothes that Hua Xiaogu had custom-made for them, standing in front of her and saying hello to her.
"Last night, I read a few pages of the account book before going to bed." Hua Xiaogu smiled and nodded to Mrs. Dong, and then walked to the kitchen with her: "In the past month or two, why has the business in our store suddenly increased?
Cleared so much?"
As soon as Hua Xiaogu asked the question, Mrs. Dong sighed. She raised her head and looked outside, then followed Hua Xiaogu and said softly: "Master, when you came, did you see the opposite side of our house?"
Hua Xiaogu looked back at Madam Dong: "I never noticed. Isn't there a tea shop across from us? Could it be that the business has changed?"
After hearing this, Madam Dong nodded and continued: "The opposite side was indeed a tea business. Later, a few days after you left Beijing, the opposite side suddenly closed its doors and was renovated. In the middle of last month, it was
It's reopened. Now it's a wine shop called 'Jade House'..."
Before Mrs. Dong finished speaking, Hua Xiaogu immediately understood what she meant. As soon as she heard the name, she knew that this wine shop was different.
"...Is it possible that this 'Jade Winery' is similar to the business our Ruyizhai does?"
Hua Xiaogu continued the sentence silently, and Mrs. Dong swallowed the second half of the sentence and nodded helplessly.
Well, there are copycats coming to compete with her genuine brand?
Hua Xiaogu paused, then turned and walked out the door. She stood at the door of Ruyizhai store, squinting and looking across.
The first floor is transparent, with rockery bonsais placed in the courtyard, and two stairs leading up around exquisite screens. The second floor is covered with gauze curtains, and the breeze blows, and you can vaguely see the compartments. It looks extremely elegant, even more elegant than
