It has been five years since Lin Jiu became the shopkeeper of Sijichun Cloth Shop in Jiangzhou City. Sijichun Cloth Shop is the head of the shop in Jiangzhou City, and his status as shopkeeper cannot be underestimated.
When the sun rose, Lin Jiu changed his clothes in the house he just bought last year, served by his concubine, and then rode on the horse that the concubine had already brought to the cloth shop.
Nowadays, he knows the business of the cloth shop well, so he can go to the cloth shop every seven or eight days, look at the account books, flip through the cloth, and have a cup of tea with the steward, and his life is relaxed and comfortable.
Today was the day for him to go to the cloth shop. It was not far from home to the cloth shop, but Lin Jiu, who kept his identity, would not go there on foot. After riding a horse for only a short time, he saw the exquisite colorful buildings and colorful flags of the Four Seasons Spring Cloth Shop.
It is as conspicuous as ever on the winter street.
But today is different from other times, there are no guests coming in or out in front of the door.
"Didn't you say that we just got a batch of good fabrics a few days ago?" He couldn't help but frown and said.
The boy holding the horse next to him also nodded.
"Yes, yes, I asked the Wang family to bring it over from the sea." He said, "The news has been released a long time ago, and it will definitely be scrambled."
How does this look like fighting?
Lin Jiu frowned. When the horse walked in front of the door, he felt something was wrong. Not only was it deserted, it should be said that the door was not opened.
Only four of the six dark doors were opened, and there was no waiter standing by the door to greet guests.
Why don't you open the door when there is no wind or rain! On the one hand, it will delay business, and on the other hand, it will cause people to speculate and damage your reputation.
Lin Jiu got off his horse and walked into the hall with some annoyance, but was stunned for a moment.
It's not that there are no people in the hall, but there are quite a lot of them.
On the short couch for the guests, there was a man sitting cross-legged, surrounded by four tall men. On the other side, the clerks and stewards from Sijichun stood aside, looking uneasy.
Are you here to cause trouble? How dare someone come to Sijichun to cause trouble? Don’t you know whose house this belongs to?
"Are you the shopkeeper?"
The man sitting looked at him and said carelessly.
Foreign accent! No wonder, Lin Jiu smiled.
"You're right," he said, "I wonder what your guest's orders are?"
"I'm not a guest officer, I'm your superior officer." Manager Cao lowered his legs and sat down, looking at Lin Jiuyi with a smile, "I'm here to tell you that you don't have to do it anymore. From today on, the shopkeeper of Sijichun will be replaced."
Shangguan? The replacement of Sijichun’s shopkeeper?
Everyone present looked stunned as soon as this statement came out. Did they hear it wrong?
Manager Cao glanced at the people standing in front of him and pointed at one of them.
"You, it's you," he said, "you just said you were the steward here?"
The man who was lit nodded somewhat blankly.
"Yes, the little one is exactly that," he said.
Manager Cao nodded.
"You are no longer the shopkeeper," he said.
The people present were stunned again.
Where did this lunatic come from? Are you joking?
"Master, go out from here and walk down the street, turn left, and you will find Ruyun Restaurant." Lin Jiu smiled and pointed.
"How?" Manager Cao looked at him and asked.
"Aren't you a storyteller? That's where you want to go." Lin Jiu smiled.
The joke was so funny that some people couldn't help but laugh.
Manager Cao also laughed and slapped the documents in his hand on several cases with a smile.
"I am from the Zhou family of Mr. Cheng Er's in-laws. On the orders of Mr. Cheng Er's eldest daughter, I came to collect the dowry shop." He said, "Do you think I went to the wrong place?"
People from the Zhou family!
The eldest daughter of Mr. Cheng Er!
This time, the people present were no longer shocked, but horrified.
This is not a joke! Lin Jiuyi felt a chill running down his spine.
He naturally knows what this shop is about, and since last year, there have been several undercurrents, real or fake, surrounding this shop, including between the Zhou family and the Cheng family, as well as between himself within the Cheng family...
Everything is based on the origin of this shop. This is a woman's dowry. A woman's dowry is the woman's private property. Apart from herself, her children can enjoy it.
This is also the reason why Lin Jiu got chills down his spine when he heard the sentence about the eldest daughter of the Zhou family and Mr. Cheng Er, because he knew that he had no confidence.
But it was impossible for him to give up immediately after hearing a word from this man, especially since Master Cheng's eldest daughter was still a fool.
"This, this is without the permission of the eldest master, how dare you..." Lin Jiu shouted, before he finished speaking, Manager Cao in front of him put his hand on the short couch, stood up and kicked over.
Lin Jiu was caught off guard and was kicked down, hitting the counter opposite and letting out a howl.
"See if I dare!" Manager Cao stood up straight, shook his clothes and hummed.
Relying on this pair of feet, Manager Cao kicked out the shopkeepers of the two shops and the two villagers in this day, and simply appointed a new shopkeeper among the others who looked dumbfounded.
When the last shopkeeper of Zhuangzi entered the Cheng family gate crying and shouting, Mr. Cheng was already furious.
"Shut up! Don't cry!"
He pointed at Zhuangtou who was about to cry when he just entered the door and shouted.
Zhuangtou, who had his mouth wide open, had no choice but to swallow back his cry. He looked at the other three people sitting in the room, their eyes and noses were all red. It seemed that the master was tired of crying, so he sobbed twice and called out, "Master, sit down on your knees."
When he came down, he lowered his head and exchanged quick glances with the other three people, confirming that he was not the only unlucky one.
"It's really embarrassing." Mr. Cheng was pacing back and forth, his face was ashen with anger, "You were beaten by a few outsiders at the request of others. Do you have fewer arms or legs than others? You are still a local coward!"
That's true, but...
"Master, I'm from the Zhou family, and I said I was collecting a dowry for the young lady, and I also had a document..." Lin Jiu, the former shopkeeper of Siji Chun Cloth Shop, said.
Mr. Cheng gritted his teeth and secretly resented that this fool dared!
From this, he was even more sure that all this was arranged by the Zhou family. First, this fool would appear in a glamorous appearance, and then use a group of people from the capital to seduce him, and then reveal his true colors and seize the dowry!
"So what?" He looked at the shopkeepers and shouted, "She is the daughter of my Cheng family. The marriage was arranged by my Cheng family, and the dowry was also arranged by me. What qualifications does she, a late-born descendant, have to jump out and make trouble, even if she wants to
You should come and tell me about this dowry. Although it belongs to her mother, who has taken the trouble to manage it for so many years? It is us. How can we jump out and grab it? When they jump out and grab it, they are the ones who are at fault.
, they are the ones who deserve to be beaten up."
The shopkeepers all lowered their heads.
Yes, it makes sense! So they are really stupid.
"What are you still doing here?" Mr. Cheng shouted, "Why don't you go call someone to fight back? A servant of the Zhou family relies on my children to cause trouble, and you are being beaten in vain as if you were stupid?"
At this point he paused and laughed.
"But the Zhou family did something right this time. It's not unjust to kick you out. You really are not worthy of my important responsibility."
The four people in front of them were ashamed, embarrassed, and angry. Yes, they were also frightened. Although they had had many quarrels over the dowry before, they were all behind closed doors and in full view of everyone.
This is the first time I've had a door-to-door call.
"Hurry up and go!" Mr. Cheng shouted, "Are you still waiting for me to fight those servants in person?"
The four of them were so frightened that they stood up and rushed outside, scrambling for it.
"Master, just watch it." Someone else shouted in a show-off manner.
Mr. Cheng sighed, and sat down with his sleeves folded. His chest heaved violently with anger, and he raised his hand and knocked over the counter beside him.
At the same time, Manager Cao and others were also telling Cheng Jiaoniang what they had done today.
"The momentum was created, and they were also shocked. Moreover, the new shopkeepers who were chosen randomly by me would inevitably feel a little fidgety in their hearts. People in this world love to go to higher places. It just depends on whether there is a chance.
." He smiled.
Cheng Jiaoniang nodded.
"Then what will the lady do next?" Manager Cao asked.
At present, they are just jumping out and beating each other up, there is no way they can really get the two shops and two villagers like this.
If this was a battle, their actions today were just beating the war drums. The real fighting had not begun yet. You didn't need to guess to know that the people over there had already recovered and were about to fight back.
"You beat someone." Cheng Jiaoniang said, "Then go to the government and confess your crime and surrender."
What? Go to the government and plead guilty? What is this?
Manager Cao raised his head in surprise, and Banqin beside him also looked at Cheng Jiaoniang in astonishment.
