Lin Jiabiyu

The middle-aged monk led Lin Wan into the meditation room. As soon as he entered the room, Lin Wan's gaze fell on Ji Wu, who was kindly and smiling.An old man in his sixties, with a very kind smile and a mole between his eyebrows, really looks like Maitreya Buddha, giving people a very peaceful feeling.

"Sit down." Ji Wu looked at Lin Wan, smiled and pointed to the kang table opposite.

Lin Wan let out a hey, and without twitching, she took off her shoes and sat down, looking at Ji Wu openly.

Ji Wu didn't say a word, and let Lin Wan look at him with an amiable smile.

"Why does Master want to see me?" After a long time, Lin Wan suppressed the irritability in her heart and asked.

"Lack of a chess friend." Ji Wu pointed to the chess board on the Kang table, and said casually, "Play a game of chess with me."

Lin Wan felt weird and inexplicable, and couldn't figure out what the old monk was thinking.What did he see?I was hanging in my heart, but my mouth responded respectfully.

It took more than half an hour before the game of chess was over, Ji Wu was just playing chess, with a pleasant smile on his face, but he didn't say a few words.Lin Wan left the monastery full of resentment, and left the monastery with Mrs. Liu.

"What did Master say?" Mrs. Liu asked with eagerness and curiosity while holding Lin Wan's hand.

Lin Wan curled her lips and smiled brightly at Mrs. Liu, "I played a game of chess without saying anything, and the master kicked me out impatiently!"

Mrs. Liu breathed a sigh of relief, seemingly relieved and somewhat disappointed.

Lin Wan held Liu Shi's arm with one hand, leaned on Liu Shi's shoulder in an intimate tone, and said with a little coquettishness: "I was also wondering, mother, tell me, what does that Master Ji Wu do? Will you let me play chess?"

Mrs. Liu sighed, with a nostalgic tone. "Master is the title of the Holy Majesty, but few people know about this matter. The Holy Majesty said that he has insight. At the beginning, your father was going to take the Chunwei exam. I went to Cishou Temple with your grandmother to offer incense. I was lucky enough to meet the master. , your grandma said that the master has great wisdom. Since the master saw you, it was your good fortune. Since he asked you to play chess, you... play." At the end, Liu's voice was a little hesitant, and there was some confusion in his heart. Muttering, I have to talk to my mother, Mrs. Wang, about this matter.

Lin Wan lowered her eyes slightly to hide the thousands of thoughts in her eyes. Thinking of her grandmother's wrinkled face, her heart gradually sank, and she secretly thought that the old monk was weird.

After the carriage drove for only a quarter of an hour, it arrived at the yard where the family lived.Yuzhu and Changqing's daughter-in-law opened the curtain at the door to welcome Mrs. Liu and Lin Wan in.

Yuzhu told Liu and Lin Wan about the arrival of the shopkeepers from the north. "The residence has already been cleaned up, and the shopkeepers are invited to rest for a while. At this moment, Uncle Changqing, Shopkeeper Liao, and Shopkeeper Zhong are talking with the shopkeepers. Do you want to see the wife and the girl?"

"It's already noon, let the kitchen prepare good wine and good food for the shopkeepers, see you after dinner." Liu looked at Lin Wan questioningly.

Lin Wan hurriedly nodded and said, "I will listen to my mother."

Lin Wan began to manage the dowry shop Zhuangzi with Liu Shi when she was about 11 years old. Liu Shi is not a good businessman, but after all, she is the daughter of everyone, and she is taught by Mrs. Wang, so she doesn't know it at all.Later, Lin Wan learned housekeeping, but Mrs. Liu didn't count on teaching herself, and felt that her knowledge was limited, so she simply asked Lin Wan to learn from her grandmother, Mrs. Wang. Mrs. Wang was very happy and taught Lin Wan hand in hand.The business in the north was started by Lin Wan later with the support of Mrs. Wang. After a few years of doing it, it gradually became profitable. Mrs. Liu was also happy, and Lin Wan took care of it by herself.This time the shopkeepers from the north came, and Lin Wan naturally wanted to see them, and the Liu family was there for a scene.

Mrs. Feng knew a little about Lin Wan's business in the Marquis of Chong'an, but she didn't have the cheek and ability to intervene.After all, Liu's natal family's Chengyibo Mansion is still doing well.The Second Mrs. Yang had heard the rumors and went to Mrs. Liu's to make a fuss.In this scene, Lin Wan asked Yue Liu to throw the Second Mrs. Yang out of the Yimei Courtyard. The Second Mrs. Yang was so frightened that she forgot to cry. There is trouble in Meiyuan.

The courtyard next to Cishou Temple is not big, but it is superior in its exquisiteness. There is also an independent courtyard, which is only four or five miles away from the capital. When the shopkeepers from the north came, they rested in the courtyard.Originally, the shopkeepers came here to meet Lin Wan at Lanyue Tower, but Mrs. Liu suddenly remembered that she wanted to pray to Buddha for a lottery, so Lin Wan asked the shopkeeper of Lanyue Tower Bell to bring them to this courtyard.

After lunch, Lin Wan was dressed neatly by Qiu Zi, and followed Liu to the study in the side yard.

Seeing Mrs. Liu and Lin Wan coming, several shopkeepers hurriedly got up to greet them.It stands to reason that when a woman in the inner house sees the shopkeeper outside, she should hang something like a curtain to cover her face.But Lin Wan was impatient with this, and always felt that the interlayer gauze was awkward to speak, and Mrs. Liu was not blindly pedantic. All the shopkeepers were in their forties or fifty, and those who got married earlier had grandchildren. He was about the same age as Lin Wan, so there was no need to shy away from it too much. After meeting each other, they were divided into guests and hosts.

Mrs. Liu carefully asked several shopkeepers how their families were, how their wives and children were, how their health was, how their business was doing, and so on.The shopkeepers answered one by one, thanked the master for his concern, and they were polite to each other for a while, and the atmosphere was very good.Seeing this, Mrs. Liu was also relieved, and after sitting for a while, she took the little girl and left - she was actually impatient to listen to these business stories, so she simply let her daughter handle it by herself.

Several shopkeepers handed over the account books one after another, and Lin Wan signaled Yuzhu to take the little girl into the box.Asking Qiu Zi to serve tea again, he smiled politely and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

"I can't be thanked by my boss!" Hearing this, shopkeeper Zhao quickly put down his teacup and bowed in salute. The rest of the people also said that they couldn't do it.Just now, when Mrs. Liu asked about the cold and warm, it was probably because the parents were more short-sighted, but this serious business matter, after two years, the shopkeepers knew that the decision was made by the young girl in front of her.

Lin Wan hurriedly got up and passed, "Everyone is an elder, how can I, a young junior, be worthy of everyone's respect?"

"You deserve it! You are the master, so you deserve it!" Shopkeeper Zhao replied with a smile.

Lin Wan pursed her lips and laughed, her eyes glanced at the few people present, and she stopped exchanging pleasantries, as her mother Liu's exchange of greetings was enough.Then he went straight to the point and said: "Several shopkeepers, please take a seat. I won't say much else, it's the same as last year. Please tell me about the situation of each shop and business firm this year. It will be convenient for us to reconcile the accounts later. .”

It's cold in the north, and as soon as October of the lunar calendar comes, there are fewer pedestrians and caravans, and bandits are rampant on the roads, so there is not much business that can be done, so most of the business will be delivered in late summer.The account reconciliation between the shopkeepers and Lin Wan was also scheduled for the beginning of September.

When shopkeeper Zhong heard this, he knew that he was going to talk about something serious, so he pricked up his ears and stared at the colleagues who came back from the north without blinking.Shopkeeper Zhong has been in charge of Lanyue Building for the past few years, and his business has flourished. He has had a lot of contact with Lin Wan, and he knows that the girl from the main family is a good businessman.Hearing that the business in the north was run by this girl alone, I was a little bit concerned.

Upon noticing this, Shopkeeper Zhong gasped inwardly, as if there were two unfamiliar faces.

"Going back to my host, the weather in Beiyan is good this year, and we have harvested a lot of medicinal materials. The overall amount of medicinal materials we collected is nearly three layers higher than last year. A small half of these medicinal materials have already been shipped back to the capital, and the rest will be sorted out in early October. , starting from Beiyan to the capital, the road has already been arranged. Except for a few big pharmacies in the capital that I know well, the rest of the medicinal materials have been temporarily sent to the Tonghe pharmacy. As for the new ones brought back in October, please The owner decides. After winter, we mainly collect swallow ginseng, which will be shipped back in the spring of next year." Hu Wanda is skinny, but he is very energetic and looks good. When it comes to business, he has eyes All are shining.

Yan ginseng?Lin Wan moved her fingers while holding the teacup, then nodded at Shopkeeper Hu and said with a smile, "How much swallow ginseng did we bring back this year?"

"There are a total of more than 400 catties. The top class is more than 100 catties, the middle class is more than 200 catties, and the rest is inferior. The slightly inferior two classes, except for the one-year consumption of Tonghe Pharmacy, are almost all given to those in the capital. There are a few big pharmacies. There are about [-] catties of the top ones left."

"I remember that in the year before last and last year, nearly half of our high-quality swallow ginseng was given to Yueweitang?" Although the question was a question, the tone could not be more certain.

Yueweitang is the Feng family's shop.When she was 11 years old and just took over her mother Liu's dowry shop, she came up with the idea of ​​medicinal materials. She secretly inquired and found someone to start with a small caravan. It took two years to pull the caravan before she gradually figured out the way. .Later, with the support of her grandmother, Mrs. Wang, she began to expand Beiyan's medicine business.

Swallow ginseng is harvested in winter, and it is transported back in spring. In the ice and snow, there are many bandits, so it is not easy to harvest, and it is not easy to transport it back.Therefore, there are many people who want to do this business, but few can do it.Lin Wan was also lucky to meet Yue Liu and Hu Wanda.Back then, Lin Wan's father, Lin Zhiqing, rescued Yue Liu by chance. Yue Liu had some friendship with the bandits on the northern border. In addition, Hu Wanda had been running business in the Northland all year round. He knew the place well and knew where to collect things and what else Rules, so it took two or three years to get it right, and only then did the business start.

At the beginning, because of Mrs. Feng and Da Bo Lin Zhiyuan, and because the Feng family had been doing well in the medicinal material business, the Yueweitang of the Feng family was listed as a partner. Now...

"My boss has a good memory, so there is such a thing. Shopkeeper Tong from Yueweitang came to ask if there is any Yanshen left." Shopkeeper Feng from Tonghe Pharmacy hurriedly got up to answer.Shopkeeper Feng naturally heard the joke about the fourth master of the Feng family before, and sighed in his heart that the Feng family really had no successors.

Lin Wan lowered her eyes slightly, circling the bottom of the porcelain cup unconsciously with her fingers, and after a moment of silence, she raised her head and said, "Press him first, and say that the young Yanshen we brought back this year will not be able to be harvested even in the spring." How much, keep some spare."

"Is the owner... going to raise the price?" Hu Wanda asked, looking at Lin Wan's face with bright eyes.

Lin Wan just smiled and said nothing, Hu Wanda chuckled twice, tugged at Feng Sheng's sleeve, Feng Sheng quickly recovered from his surprised face, and agreed.

Yuzhu raised her eyebrows at the side, and remembered what her girl told him to go to Yue Liu to deal with Feng Silang, so he made a smart move—if you offend anyone, don't offend your girl!Hey, if you ask her to say, the girl is not too bad.Then Feng Si, how many people in the capital want to deal with him!He was beaten, and many people wanted to laugh about it, not to mention he dared to plot against girls many times!As for the medicinal materials, it's just for the Feng family to pay more money, so it's fine if it doesn't bring down Yueweitang!
