My younger sister insisted on marrying me and made me the Marquis' wife.

Chapter 497 It’s all because of this mouth
Butler Han hurriedly said, "Madam, please speak."

Qin Yuan said, "Before, the steward and the stewards followed Madam Zhao in paying for the peppercorns. Now that the price of peppercorns has dropped drastically, many people have gone to Madam Zhao, hoping that the Xu family can sell the peppercorns to reduce losses."

Everyone knows this.

Steward Cao asked, "Pepper prices have been falling, and the Xu family is arguing with Master Liu, so why would they agree to return the money to them?"

Qin Yuan said: "I think they have a lot of resentment."

Manager Qian said, "Of course. When they saw the price of pepper go up, many of them paid more money for it, fearing that they would not be able to buy it. In the end, they lost more. Now they can only watch the price of pepper drop, and they can't get a penny back. How can they not feel resentful?"

Accountant Wan asked, "What are your plans, Madam?"

Qin Yuan said: "I predict that the price of pepper will rise sharply, so I want to persuade them to keep these shares. If someone doesn't want to stay, I am willing to buy it at the current price, but if the price rises sharply in the future, I am afraid that they will also be resentful."

Now that the harvest has been harvested, everyone would like to express their gratitude and wish a happy Mid-Autumn Festival.

If there is a big rise in prices after the holidays, everyone will feel resentful again.

Everyone is greedy.

Butler Cao remained silent.

Butler Qian said, "Madam, why do you have to do this? People will complain about you anyway, so it's better to just ignore it."

Butler Han said, "Madam, you can post a notice saying that you are optimistic about pepper and plan to buy it at the market price. If anyone is willing to sell their shares and sign the document, it doesn't matter whether the price of pepper goes up or down in the future."

Housekeeper Cao said, "It doesn't matter if we have a written document. It can't control people's hearts. After all, the prices are the market price for people inside and outside the government. If we take people from inside the government, there will be resentment. It's better to take people from outside the government. The money and goods will be paid and the transaction will be quick and easy."

Butler Qian sighed and said, "Madam is kind-hearted."

Accountant Wan was silent for a long while, then he said, "Why don't you tell Madam that you want to buy pepper? Anyone with a source can introduce it to the mansion and give a small commission or thank you. Those who don't care much about the share money will wait and see, while those who care will take this opportunity to sell it to Madam, and there will be fewer complaints."

"Great," said several housekeepers.

Qin Yuan nodded and said, "That's right, let's do it. All matters will be handed over to the accountant Wan to handle. We will not accept any more after the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Accountant Wan immediately agreed.

After all matters were discussed, everyone dispersed. After leaving the meeting courtyard, Butler Cao put his arm around Accountant Wan's shoulders and said jokingly, "You are a good kid. You have lived up to our recommendation."

Accountant Wan was strangled and started coughing.

Butler Han pushed Butler Cao away and said, "She is a talented person. Can she withstand your torture?"

Butler Qian said with a smile, "We have been promoted today, and we will need the support of our colleagues in the future to share the worries of our master. How about we have a drink together tonight? Accountant Wan and I will treat you, and order some snacks and wine for us to enjoy together?"

Accountant Wan immediately said, "There are only children at home, and I can't be home late. How about we get together another day?"

Butler Qian wanted to say something, but Butler Cao said, "Nothing, we are all acquaintances, no need to be so polite, ask the cook to add a few dishes for lunch next time, and help us buy some wine, so we can have a few sips, and it won't interfere with our business."

Butler Han said, "This is a good idea. It's economical. The cooking skills of the big kitchen are excellent, and the things they buy are cheap and of good quality."

Butler Qian smiled and said, "This is fine, but it's a little thin."

Butler Cao said, "It's best this way. We'll have plenty of opportunities to drink and chat together in the future. We are both cautious people, and we will take things slow and steady."

Accountant Wan agreed with a smile.

Butler Qian had no choice but to give up.

After Accountant Wan returned, he immediately drafted a notice and posted it.

Suddenly, everyone in the mansion became lively.

"The price of pepper has dropped so much now, why does the mansion still want to buy pepper?"

"It just so happens that I don't want the share I have anymore. Can I sell it to the mansion?"

The office was packed with people. Accountant Wan was weak to begin with, and he couldn't speak more than a few words before he started coughing.

Butler Cao took a small teapot, took two sips of tea, and stood aside and said with a smile: "Take it, as many ladies as you want. Madam has been eyeing the pepper for a long time, but has never received it. We all followed Madam's lead and paid our share."

"Oh, you guys are lucky. We bought it first as a contribution, and now the original amount has dropped by half. We can't sell it even if we want to."

A housekeeper mother sighed loudly.

Accountant Wan said, "Madam is optimistic now, do you still want to make a move?"

The housekeeper was stunned.

Butler Cao said, "If you sell it, you will just have to watch us make money. You won't regret it later."

The housekeeper said, "Let me think about it."

Accountant Wan said, "After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Madam will have people collect them outside. If you want to sell them, hurry up."

The housekeeper immediately said, "Let's talk about it later."

After this happened several times, those who held shares in their hands calmed down.

Many people don't plan to sell.

"Madam, you are capable. We all know that. If we sell it now, we will lose a lot. Madam, you are optimistic about pepper. Let's hold on to it. Not to mention making money, we may even get our money back."

"But...what if Madam is also wrong?"

"Then just treat it as if you don't have the money."

“But I bought a lot.”

"How about you sell half and keep the other half? In case the price goes up..."

"let me think again."

the other side.

Hongmian blocked Mother Wang at the intersection and gestured with a smile: "Mother Wang, don't forget the two months' salary."

Mother Wang spat and said, "Do you think I'm as short-sighted as you? It's not time to pay the monthly salary yet, why are you in such a hurry?"

Hongmian suddenly realized: "So Mother Wang wants to wait until the monthly salary is paid to give it to me? I thought you forgot. Just remember it. I have already promised Sister Hongye and Sister Cuiming that I will use this money to treat the sisters and mothers of Wutong Garden to a good time."

After hearing this, Mother Wang insisted even more that she had not forgotten.

"I keep my word, and my words are my bond."

Hongmian said happily: "Okay, as long as Mother Wang said this, it will be fine."

After Hongmian left, Mother Wang showed a look of pain and spat at her back, "Little hoof, you are so daring to ask for it. You are so shameless to take it."

The crowd watching nearby said, "Even if you regret it, she can't do anything to you."

"Didn't you see that she brought up Hongye and Cuiming to win the favor in front of the Madam? Am I going to sue them? Wouldn't it be shameful to bring a commotion in front of the Madam? This little bitch is using them to win people's hearts."

Mother Wang kept muttering angrily.

A woman said, "You'd better be more careful about what you say and do in the future. You've lost your fortune by accident."

"It's all your fault," Wang's mother slapped herself in anger and scolded, "I'll see if you'll keep talking in the future. Two months' salary, my God. It's also Madam's fault. You're a lady from a wealthy family, how could you check accounts? Who could have thought of that?"

"What did you just say?"

Gu Baozhu suddenly jumped out and asked, "What did you say about my third sister-in-law?"
