Lin Jiabiyu

Chapter 15 Business

Hu Wanda and Shopkeeper Feng talked about some medicinal materials in detail, Lin Wan listened attentively and didn't ask any more questions.After the two finished talking, Lin Wan said it was hard work, and then asked the three shopkeepers Liao, Zhao and Liu who were in charge of the grain store to talk.

The shopkeeper Zhao is a little fat, and he is in his forties, and he has perfected the ability to read people's eyes.With a face so smiling that he couldn't see his eyes, he explained the accounts clearly in two or three strokes.After a pause, he looked at Lin Wan and said with a smile: "This year's autumn grain collection has just started, but the people at the household department have been very busy recently, and it seems that they are also going to collect grain. Don't let more luck. Let's see, boss, how do we collect this year's grain?"

Lin Wan paused for a moment, looked at shopkeeper Zhao and asked with a smile, "Treasurer Zhao has been in this business for more than ten years, what do you say?"

Shopkeeper Zhao squinted his eyes and fell silent for a moment. He glanced at the shopkeepers present and said with a smile, "This is because my boss thinks highly of me! In my opinion, we will temporarily slow down the supply of grain this year and let the household department go first. Take less. The people don’t fight the officials!”

Several shopkeepers laughed, and Lin Wan also put down her teacup and stood up with a smile on her face.

Shopkeeper Zhao's sharp eyes caught a glimpse of Lin Wan standing up and stopped talking, his heart skipped a beat, waiting for Lin Wan to speak.

Lin Wan didn't ask shopkeeper Zhao again, but shifted his gaze to shopkeeper Liu, who was in charge of the transfer of goods from the north to the south, "How many horses did we exchange grain for last year?"

The aristocrats in the capital like to ride and shoot, but if they can't, they have to buy two horses for appearance.However, there are few horses in the south, so most of them are bought from the north.In addition to exchanging money for the grain in the grain store, the rest is exchanged for cattle, sheep, horses, robes and fox furs of various colors, etc., and they can earn a lot as soon as they change hands.

"There are more than 50 fine horses, and they just arrived in the capital." Shopkeeper Liu replied hesitantly.

Lin Wan hummed, thought for a while, looked around the crowd, and said to the three shopkeepers, Liao, Zhao and Liu: "If there is no notice from the household department, and no one comes, we will collect the food as usual, but we will keep the others under control first." Luck. There is no clear text in the imperial court, but we randomly guessed the thoughts of the saints, whether they guessed right or wrong - this is not the businessman's duty! Shopkeeper Zhao said well, the people don't fight with the officials, and the nobles' thoughts, we are the best Don’t guess too! As for the horses that have been exchanged, they will be sold to them if they are asked by the Ministry of War;

Several shopkeepers looked at each other.Shopkeeper Zhao couldn't see the expression clearly on his face, but his heart sank.It seems that this owner's mind, he has not figured out at all!He thought she was just a little girl, but now it seems that he really underestimated her.The imperial court has already had clues that the Holy Majesty is going to send troops to Beiyan, isn't it just preparing now?It can be seen that the owner means that he is not going to close Beiyan's business for the time being.That's right, if you stop it rashly, it might even attract people's attention, and it won't work out in the end!

"It's been a long time for the shopkeepers to talk about it, so let's stop here today. I'll get someone to reconcile the accounts later, and we'll discuss again. You have traveled a long distance, so let's rest early today. Shopkeepers Min and Zhong shopkeepers stay I still have something to ask you two." Lin Wan smiled brightly, then turned her head and ordered Forsythia Polygonatum to prepare tea and snacks, and arrange the residences for several people.

The shopkeepers said their goodbyes, Hu Wanda glanced at shopkeeper Min, raised his eyebrows, and left behind everyone.

Shopkeeper Zhong subconsciously rubbed his hands together, approached Luchi and asked, "Is the boss going to talk about the south?"

Lin Wan smiled and nodded. "Beiyan has been cultivating health and well-being in the past few years, and the grass is fat and the horse is strong. This battle cannot be fought at all. Even if we fight, we will not get cheap. But looking at the current situation, Beiyan's national power is growing, which has already caused fear in the court. .So the fight must be fought once, not for land, but for deterrence. So our business in the north may have to be temporarily delayed for a year or two. But the south can slowly try to do it. "

Shopkeeper Min and Shopkeeper Zhong looked at each other and nodded at the same time. The three discussed the business in the south in detail.

Lin Wan and Mrs. Liu lived in the courtyard for four or five days, and they packed up their things and returned to the Marquis of Chong'an Mansion on the third day of September.As soon as the carriage arrived at the Lin Mansion, before entering the door, they heard a big show.

In the inner courtyard, Second Mrs. Yang grabbed Mrs. Feng's sleeves with both hands, and the voice of dry howling came out through the high walls: "Our master is the brother of Lord Hou! Sister Min is the niece of Lord Hou! You This is neither virtuous nor fraternal! Thank you for pretending to be virtuous! The third sister in your room, take a look, look—" As he spoke, he rushed to his right and grabbed Lin Zhi, the third girl, and dragged her to the crowd In front of her eyes, she wailed and said, "A girl from all over the world dressed like this! You are still a auntie! Hey, why am I so unlucky to have such a good-looking sister-in-law? I can't even tell what I'm suffering..." Second Mrs. Yang howled more and more, she didn't have a single tear on her face, but she exerted so much force on her hands that she couldn't move Mrs. Feng.

Mrs. Feng's face turned pale with anger, her teeth were clenched, and her face was trembling constantly. After a long time, she pulled off her sleeves and kicked Second Mrs. Yang forcefully.

Second Mrs. Yang was howling happily, but her eyes were very good. Seeing that Mrs. Feng moved her feet in anger, she tilted her body to the side and fell to the ground.Mrs. Feng's feet brushed against Mrs. Yang's waist.

Second Mrs. Yang "tears like rain" in an instant, hugged Mrs. Feng's leg, pinched and bit, and yelled: "Beat me! Madam Chong'an Hou beat me! Sister-in-law, you have long since tolerated me!" Don't let us down! If you are dissatisfied with our mother and daughter, you can tell it directly! Why cry and tire the Marquis to have a rift with our master! What are you so worried about?"

Mrs. Feng was so breathless that she couldn't breathe.Second Mrs. Yang has been fighting with her for not a day or two. She is a legitimate daughter of a family, and she doesn't bother to learn like a shrew in the market, but Second Mrs. Yang climbed up the pole-it was just a flower show, an irrelevant errand, Second Mrs. Yang dared to tarnish her reputation and threaten herself!

Mrs. Feng is unstoppable!Before, the second wife of the Feng family, Mrs. Yu, was just cursing, after all, she was her natal second sister-in-law, and she recognized her brother just by looking at her face!But who is Yang Shi?She still can't bear it!

"Drag her down! Gag her!" Mrs. Feng yelled at the stunned nanny beside her in a stern voice.

The women were stunned by the yelling, and hurriedly pushed Second Mrs. Yang away.

Mrs. Yang stopped crying for a moment when she saw this, and then rushed towards Mrs. Feng, "You are vicious! You want me to die! Why did our Lin family marry such a headed mistress..." Voice It was like thunder, and it spread directly outside the gate of the Marquis of Chong'an.

Mrs. Liu frowned all the way, and asked Madam Wei beside her with a calm face, "What's going on?"

Mother Wei sighed dumbfoundingly and said: "It's not because of the second master's errand and the Yuan family's flower party! Originally, the second wife came to the eldest lady with a smiling face this morning, and said that she wanted the eldest lady to take the fourth girl to go. The Yuan family's flower festival. Although the eldest lady was not good-looking, she didn't say she shouldn't, so she just hung around. Later, the second wife's face was also ugly, but she didn't tear her face. Who knew that Bitui came in to find the second wife , Said that the errand of the second master has failed, the errand that the second wife was optimistic about was taken by Dalang of the Feng family! No, the second wife immediately became annoyed, and dragged the eldest lady to howl for half an hour! statement!"

Mrs. Liu frowned, glanced at the main courtyard in annoyance, and dragged Lin Wan back to the Yimei courtyard.
