Zhan Zhumen

Chapter 126
For a few days, Huo Xi took Yang Fu to various pastry shops to sell his own cane sugar while going to the city to sell fish.

Although some were sold, the quantity was not large, and the price was severely suppressed.

The price of sugar in grocery stores in the city is [-] Wen a catty, but the pastry shops buy raw materials in bulk, but the price is much lower.Huo Xi refused to lower the price of sugar to [-]% off, forty cents a catty.

When I bought twenty shi back then, the price would have been calculated at 35 Wen a catty, and it was sold for [-] Wen, which is not a waste of money, but it is not very cost-effective.

I stopped going to the big pastry shops, and only went to some small single-family shops. Those shops did not have bulk purchase channels, so they sold dozens of catties at a price of about 45 yuan per catty.

Yang Fu followed Huo Xi all the way, seeing her frowning and opening her mouth, he comforted her for a long time: "It's okay, Xi'er, let's sell slowly, don't worry."

Huo Xi nodded in disbelief, her brows did not relax.

If only she had a shop in the city.The goods that come in at a low price from other places can be put in the shop and sold slowly, without her going door-to-door to sell them and being looked down upon by others.

But what does the shop sell?Selling linen and sugar?This is rather monotonous.Plus seafood?

Who enters the door.

What kind of store is this?It couldn't be more miscellaneous, and it also smells.

And the sackcloth and cane sugar are sold out?Where do you want to buy goods?What to buy?And who will sell the goods?
Huo Erhuai?Or Yang Shi, Yang Fu?Or herself?
Huo Xi shook his head.

She's not good at being too revealing.It will be tiresome to Nian'er.You have to hide your strength and bide your time for a few years.

But it can't be salted fish.

So sad.

In the Mu Mansion of the capital, Mu Yan is also worried.

He was not satisfied with Kan Erli Yixun's presents.

This gift-giving really took a lot of thought. In addition to the gift being liked by people, it also had to reflect the wishes of the Mu Mansion, and it had to fit the current situation of the Mu Mansion in the capital.

He never worried about such a thing.

So annoying.

In the garden, Nanny Liu is comforting Mrs. Cheng.

"Ma'am, there's no need to be as knowledgeable as the screwdriver who suffered from the plague. They just saw that the wife has no one to rely on, and her mother's family is not in the capital. All cats and dogs use chicken feathers as arrows."

Grandma Liu snorted, very angry.

Eating the food in the mansion, holding the food in the mansion, living a happy life in the capital, being respected by a bunch of servants in the mansion, being held up by others outside, but there is no wife in my eyes.One heart is still facing the Southwest Marquis Mansion.

This kind of slave who betrayed the master should be killed!
Madam is soft-hearted.

Cheng pressed the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief: "What kind of master am I? I'm trapped in this mansion, and even the servants don't pay attention to me."

Mother Liu was very distressed: "Ma'am, don't underestimate yourself like this. You are Mrs. Hou of the Xiping Hou Mansion, and you still have the young master. The young master is now giving me a lot of words and martial arts. When the young master grows up in the future, will you still enjoy it?" What a blessing."

Cheng sniffed and forced a smile: "Yes, I still have Yan'er."

Grandma Liu responded with a few words.

Cheng said again: "Mother, you can go to some of my dowry shops and see if you can collect some money."

"Yes."

The master and servant walked away together.

Mu Yan stepped out from behind a tree, looked at the master and servant who were walking away, and narrowed their eyes.

"Li Yi!"

"Subordinates are here."

"Go check it out."

"Yes."

After a while, Li Yi came back to report.

"The lady was preparing to present the gift, but she couldn't get the money from the accountant, so she asked the big steward to go to the shop to get the silver, but the big steward prevaricated, and said that the money from the capital shop, Zhuangzi, would be sent back to Yunnan, saying that it was from Lord Hou. Order……"

boom!
Mu Yan grabbed the paperweight on the desk and slammed it to the ground.

The paperweight fell to pieces.

"The post-sealing ceremony invites the Marquis of Xiping, or the Chengmen Cheng family!" The voice was so cold that there was no warmth in it.

Li Yi lowered his head and pursed his lips.

After he found out the reason, he was also filled with anger.If you want to send a gift to the palace, the mansion will not give you any money or buy it, so Madam Hou has to pay for the dowry herself?

If the higher-ups knew about this, they would think that the Xiping Hou Mansion looked down on the queen.

With the new emperor's love for the empress, the Xiping Hou Mansion might not be able to afford it and would have to walk around.They are far away in the southwest, there is nothing to do, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, but for their young master, it may be difficult to travel in the capital.

The young master is a proton, his status is awkward, and the house often does things that hinder him. The young master didn't have many classmates who could talk in the Imperial College.

Usually no one invites a party to have fun.

Just as Li Yi was thinking wildly, he saw the young master striding towards the outside of the study, and hurriedly collected his mind to follow.

"Master."

As soon as he entered the courtyard, the head manager Mu Ren just greeted Mu Yan with a smile, but was kicked to the ground by Mu Yan.

"Master?"

Mu Ren fell to the ground with a look of astonishment.

The young master usually stays in his own yard, ignoring everything, so what... What happened to him?The brain is spinning desperately.

Mu Yan looked arrogantly and looked at him coldly from top to bottom.

Seeing that he was going to get up, he was still not relieved, and kicked him to the ground again.

The servants and servants passing by all opened their mouths wide in astonishment, they were so frightened that they lowered their heads from a distance, and couldn't help but sneak a look.

Mu Yan didn't explain, and only told Kan Er in a cold voice: "Go and call the second steward."

"Yes."

The second steward, Mu Shi, trotted over with his clothes hem in hand, before he could catch his breath, he just opened his mouth: "Master..."

It was interrupted by Mu Yan.

"From now on, you will be promoted to be the chief steward. The first thing to do is to list carefully the properties in the capital and the surrounding areas, and ask all the shopkeepers and heads of the villages to come to the mansion with their account books to find me. Anyone who does not obey the order, where did they come from?" Where are you going back!"

The second steward, Mu Shi, opened his mouth in circles and his mind was buzzing.

"Why, you can't do it?" The voice was cold.

Mu Shi looked up, and saw the young master looking at him with a serious face.

Trembling with fright, he plopped down on his knees: "Thank you, my master, for your promotion. I will definitely fulfill my mission."

"Well. Since Muren's heart is towards Yunnan, he sent him to go with his family. You can arrange the personnel affairs in the mansion. If there is still no master in your eyes, you can kill or sell him. Muren is so lucky."

"Yes, yes, the slave understands."

Jingshi Mu's mansion has changed.

The servants were silent like cicadas, walking a little lighter.No one dares to be lazy anymore.

Originally, the chief steward said that their monthly money was allotted from the Southwest, but many servants only had the Hou's Mansion in Yunnan in their hearts, and did not seriously treat the Cheng family as their master.

But after Mu Yan's action, everyone knew that the current official is not as good as the current management, and the Hou's Mansion in the southwest is far away.

Cheng received a pile of ledgers, saw the servants in the mansion treat her with respect, and still couldn't recover for a long time.

When she found out that it was her son who stood up for her, she cried hard again.

Thinking of her own son now calling her aunt according to the ancestral system, his heart was cut like a knife.

Now that Lord Hou has taken over the throne, her son, as the uncle's heir, does not know what to do in the future.When the other heirs of Lord Marquis take over the title, Yan'er will be just a side branch.

For many nights, Cheng couldn't sleep because of worry.

Seeing Yan'er stand up for her now, Cheng's heart like a dry well has come to life, and it's time for her to stand up.
