six-fingered peasant girl

Chapter 234
Ning Guang gave Su Liu a total of twelve shops, six of which were in Shangjing, and the rest were in Yunzhou or Jiangnan. After Su Liu spent a lot of time sorting out the account books, the shopkeepers of the rest of the shops were all Has arrived in Beijing.

Su Liu didn't immediately reveal that she was the new owner of the shop, but only asked Ping Jing to say that she was an agent owner, working for Ning Guang, and now it was about rectifying the shop's business.Therefore, to meet the shopkeepers of various shops, Su Liu also met with Ping Jing in the meeting hall of his mansion.

After hearing such words, all the shopkeepers speculated whether Ping Jing, the head manager, was going to step down, and Ping Jing said that he would abdicate along the way. All matters and decisions of the shop were dominated by Su Liu, and he himself followed orders.

Of the twelve shops, two are rented out, four are at a loss, three are making no profit, and of the three making money, there is only one gambling house, one selling antiques, and the other making incense powder. Just a small profit.

Su Liu didn't say anything about the shop far away, but the news from Ping Jing and Song Fei's people was not very good, and the only lively place was probably the gambling house.But the goods are outdated and there are no new ones, and the guys are listless and unmotivated, so it's strange that there will be people patronizing.

Shop rectification is inevitable, Su Liu will not just cling to a business that does not make money or even loses money, even if it is just a small shop.

The spacious meeting room was filled with various shopkeepers. There was a screen behind the main seat, and a slender figure appeared on the screen indistinctly. Everyone was guessing who this person was.

While the shopkeepers were whispering to each other, Su Liu also listened to Xueluo's introduction through the screen and looked at everyone, especially when introducing Wu Sheng, the big shopkeeper of Cuizhuyuan Teahouse, his gaze stayed for a long time.

Wu Sheng is the shopkeeper of Cuizhuyuan. He is thin and has puffy bags under his eyes, but he has an abrupt big belly. His small eyes move around like mice, and his eyes flicker. It is not a good thing at first glance.Such a person happens to be the big shopkeeper of an elegant teahouse, just because this Wu Sheng is the son of the nanny of Mrs. Guangning Houfu, that is, her nanny brother.

Seeing this Wu Sheng, Su Liu snorted softly. According to the information, this man is very lecherous. He once fought a young man to sleep with the oiran of Furong Building, and it was Guangninghou Madam who settled him.

Let’s not talk about Wu Sheng’s personality, just talk about the teahouse. In fact, the initial business of the teahouse is still good. After all, there are many literati and scholars, and the terrain of Cuizhu Garden is really good. It can be regarded as a quiet and elegant place, and the business is not too bad. Go, but after Wu Sheng took over, he gradually fell into disrepair, and the accounts were even more muddled. Su Liu was sure that Wu Sheng had contributed all the profits of the teahouse to Mrs. Hou Guangning.

In other words, Mrs. Guangninghou considers this teahouse to be hers, and most of the money goes into her private treasury every month, but Ningguang is quite comfortable being taken advantage of.

Among all the shopkeepers, this Wu Sheng was the most difficult to deal with, he was treacherous, and he was backed by Mrs. Guangninghou. His background was not ordinary, but it was a pity that he was destined to become Su Liu's victim.

If Su Liu wanted to keep the shopkeepers stable and smoothly take over and reorganize various industries, he had to use an individual to act as an example, and Wu Sheng, who had a big backer, was undoubtedly the most suitable.She just wanted to let these people see that even if the backer was Mrs. Guangning Hou, she would still operate.

After some self-introduction in the opening remarks, Su Liu got to the point, talking about the accounts and business of each shop.

I thought she was just a little girl who knew how much she knew about business, but as Su Liu asked one after another about her ideas, the shopkeepers began to sweat on their foreheads. They only felt that it was very hot in winter, especially when it came to accounts. When he came up, his face was even more pale.

"The treasures in Zangzhen Pavilion are supposed to be authentic. As far as I know, a piece of Yan Yuanxing's calligraphy costs tens of thousands of taels. It should be the most profitable shop, but it is only 1000 taels a month. It is the literati in the south of the Yangtze River. Need to give gifts, or is shopkeeper Yu's lack of management skills? If that's the case, then you really need to find someone to help shopkeeper Yu." Su Liumansi took out the information of the antique shop in an orderly manner and said slowly.

Her voice was warm and indifferent, but in everyone's ears, it was as cold and harsh as that snow and ice.

Shopkeeper Yu wiped off his cold sweat, and said hesitantly, "Girl, in the past two years, a lot of antique shops in Jiangnan have been opened, and the business of Zangzhen Pavilion has also been pulled down a lot."

"Really? Then I would like to ask shopkeeper Yu, what happened to the six young masters of the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion? In the past year, he has taken nearly 1 taels of treasures from Cangzhen Pavilion. Can shopkeeper Yu have a good relationship?" Pay the bill? Or, the Zangzhen Pavilion is not opened by the general at all, but the property of the Marquis of Wu'an? If you want to owe the debt, you will always owe it." Su Liu's voice rose abruptly.

Shopkeeper Yu's face turned pale, and regardless of the cold sweat on his forehead, he stood up and said, "The Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion is the mother's house of Empress Wu Zhaoyi, and the sixth son's debts are all sent to Empress Wu Zhaoyi, so... "

"Presumptuous!" Su Liu put the teacup heavily on the table, and angrily said: "The nobles in the palace are also something that you, a small shopkeeper, can talk about? The empress Wu Zhaoyi has a noble status, and the Marquis of Wu'an is also a huge Marquis's mansion, isn't it? Will you still buy things without giving money? It is clear that you are using the general's property to curry favor with the nobles. I heard that the two daughters of shopkeeper Yu are all dressed up like the ladies of everyone. Among them, Miss Yu is from Wu'anhoufu. The Sixth Young Master intends to accept her as a good concubine, could it be that shopkeeper Yu wants to climb high, so this account is owed by the Marquis of Wu'an indefinitely?"

As soon as this remark came out, the whole room was amazed, and even Ping Jing looked at the person behind the screen in astonishment.

Shopkeeper Yu's complexion was already pale at this time, he could not afford such a crime, he knelt down heavily, and tremblingly said: "Girl, I am wronged, there is absolutely no such thing, I, Yu Guifang, will never Knowing how to sell a girl to seek glory, the girl knows clearly that the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion is really powerful, and the old man has been delayed when he goes to pay the bill."

Su Liu naturally knew that there was no such thing. In fact, the sixth son of the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion just took a fancy to the appearance of shopkeeper Yu's eldest daughter and wanted to take her as a concubine.Although Shopkeeper Yu is unreliable, but he really planned for his daughter, how could he want a good daughter to marry into such a man-eating place?

Not everyone is willing to use their daughters to cling to the powerful, and there are also fathers who really care about their children. Su Liu said this because he was so angry that he couldn't figure it out. He also wanted to shock everyone. After all, who did she want to do? A man of the Marquis of Guangning.

Su Liu made such a fuss, and everyone knew in their hearts that she was able to find out these things, which was enough to prove that she didn't meet them rashly, but was already prepared.

Also in the south of the Yangtze River, the shopkeeper who runs a fragrance powder shop and the shopkeeper Yu have always been friends, and seeing this situation, they also helped Xiang Xiang to explain.

Su Liu also knew that the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion was really disgusting, they didn't give money for shopping, and such a big mansion was like an old man, so shameless, but the shopkeeper Yu was intimidated by the powerful backstage, and he dragged on for a year. Did not ask for the account back.

Su Liu also accepted it as soon as it was good, saying that for the sake of shopkeeper Yu's sincerity, she only ordered shopkeeper Yu to pay back the debt this year no matter what, and she kindly stated, is it possible that Mrs. Wu Zhaoyi has such a noble status? Are you still relying on not giving money?As long as such words come out, the Marquis of Wu'an will be ashamed?Still dare not give money?
As for those who offend or not, don't bother with such old rascals!
Shopkeeper Yu thanked him, wiped off his cold sweat, was helped up by the shopkeeper who had made friends with him, and sat down on the chair again. The two of them looked at each other with wry smiles, but sat up straight again.

Su Liulu's move was really beautiful, with both kindness and power, it made all the shopkeepers a little afraid, and they didn't dare to make more criticisms, which also made the subsequent negotiations very smooth.

One shop after another had a problem, Su Liu talked eloquently, it was considered as having done enough homework, everyone was astonished and at the same time a little ashamed, and also a little admired, because what Su Liu said, many of them were unexpected and missed .

In the end, Su Liu talked about the teahouses. Unlike before, who accurately recognized the shopkeepers of each shop, Su Liu asked directly: "Is the shopkeeper of the Green Bamboo Garden here?"

Everyone was very strange, they all looked at Wu Sheng and exchanged glances.

Wu Sheng's haughty face suddenly turned ugly, and he said bitterly: "Miss Su, I am Wu Sheng, the shopkeeper of Cuizhuyuan. The girl's eyesight is not good, so I think it's better to embroider in the boudoir. It is really inappropriate to show your face in public, and it will also damage the general's face."

These idiots don't know, but he knows that Su Liu is the general's fiancée, a woman who comes out to show her face, she is indeed the kind of country girl who can't stand on stage.

"Presumptuous!" Xueluo scolded, "Shopkeeper Wu, is he looking down on my girl?"

"What I'm talking about is the truth. There is no girl from that family who is in charge of her husband's property before she is married. Of course, I don't know about those small towns and mountains, but the famous families in Shangjing would definitely not do such things. There's no need to lose face for the family." Wu Sheng looked at Xueluo sneeringly, with a look of disdain.

The girls Xueluo and Shuang Ning were very angry when they heard this. What they said meant that Su Liu came from a small family and could not get on the big stage.

After hearing this, the shopkeepers all looked at each other in blank dismay, Wu Sheng's words really revealed a lot of information, what kind of husband's family, what is Miss Su's background?
Seeing this, Wu Sheng lifted his chin even higher, and his nose was turned upwards, triumphantly.

However, Su Liu laughed, and said in a calm voice, "Boss Ping, shopkeeper Wu is getting old, and his ears are not working well. Please tell him, why is this girl here?"
