Houmen Yixiang

Chapter 144 Counterattack, the size of the pit Gao
In a house in the capital.

Xu Dongcai suppressed the joy in his heart, and reported the next arrangement to the man behind the screen, "Master, according to this celestial phenomenon, there will be heavy snowfall tomorrow or the day after tomorrow at the latest. , all leather goods are online, and the price will be increased by [-]%!"

"It's a good job!" The man's gentle voice couldn't hide his appreciation, "Before you suggested that you first suppress the leather goods, and wait until the leather goods stores in the entire capital are out of stock before going online. Rare things are more expensive, and rare goods can live , this strategy is very good!"

"Thank you, master, for your compliment!" Xu Dongcai couldn't suppress the smile on his lips, "The people under Lu Xinyan's side have been secretly observing for the past few days. Several young men came to Ankangbo Mansion, and Lu Xinyan took them out every day to drink tea and watch theatre, Admiring the flowers and visiting the garden, I didn’t bother with the leather goods store anymore.”

"Are you sure the news is correct?" With Lu Xinyan's temperament, this is somewhat unreasonable!The man thought to himself.

"I heard that those young men are all relatives of Ankangbo Mansion, Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Lu, I hope she can marry one of them." Xu Dongcai paused, "My subordinates guess that Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Lu are trying to take advantage of the marriage , control Lu Xinyan in the palm of your hand, so as to take advantage of her dowry. Second, the second and third misses in the uncle's house have reached the age of marriage. According to the order of seniority, after Lu Xinyan marries, it will be beneficial to the marriage of the second and third misses. "

"No matter how powerful Lu Xinyan is, she's still an ordinary woman. It's not surprising that Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Lu arranged this way! However, I'm worried that this is Lu Xinyan's trick, and I'm trying to find a way to get back this situation."

"Master, Lu Xinyan has already left Madam Lu to take care of the leather goods store." Xu Dongcai said, "After my subordinate cut off Uberke's fur goods, Madam Lu went to Lu Xinyan's various leather goods stores the next day. Tell the shopkeeper and the clerk that she will take care of all the affairs of these leather goods stores in the future, and at the same time, she will leave the list of old customers in the store. These days, she is visiting one by one, asking the other party to transfer the order to the next year. Madam Lu every day Going out before dawn and returning after dark, according to the statistics of the subordinates, at least about [-] old customers have visited the house."

After saying this, the man was completely relieved, but he warned: "There are still two days until the eighth day of the lunar new year. In these two days, I will keep a close eye on Lu Xinyan. If there is any abnormality, I will report it immediately, and she will never be allowed to come back again!"

"Yes, master."

In the next two days, Xu Dongcai secretly sent people to watch the front door, side door, and back door of Ankangbo Mansion, and all the doors that might leave the Bo Mansion.

I don't know if it's because of the snow and the cold weather, Mrs. Lu Xiao Gao still leaves early and returns late, but Lu Xinyan stays in the uncle's mansion, never leaving the gate.

During these two days, one night after dinner, Mrs. Gao and Mrs. Gao approached Lu Xinyan and said they wanted to ask her something.

Before the two could speak, Lu Xinyan said first, "Aunt Gao, you have worked hard these few days."

Leaving early and returning late every day, some old customers with a bad temper don't care about you, they will make you face on the spot and say some harsh words. In order to successfully complete the task and obtain the right to manage Lu Xinyan's dowry, Mrs. Gao had to hold back her temper. Smiling faces and dealing with people, in just a few days, I have received more anger and eyes than in the past ten years in Ankangbo Mansion.

It’s all tears of bitterness. Now that the road is snowing heavily and the road is slippery, when I go out sooner or later, I’m terrified, for fear that if I’m not careful, the car will turn over and my arms and legs will be broken.

When Xiao Gao heard Lu Xinyan's words, she couldn't help feeling slightly sour.

"A-Ning has really worked hard these days, and I will take a good rest for a few days after I finish my work." Gao coughed lightly, turned to Lu Xinyan, and said tentatively: "Xinyan, you went out to play with A-Lin Ruixiang and the others a few days ago. How does it feel?"

Lu Xinyan understood that Gao was asking her what she thought of Wang Lin and the others, or to put it further, she wanted to ask if she was attracted to any of them!She raised her eyebrows lightly, "The young masters are all good, with good character and good temperament."

Xiao Gao was overjoyed, "Then who do you think is the best among them?"

Lu Xinyan pretended to think about it, "If we say the best... Mr. Zhang is gentle and elegant, and his every move is quite gentlemanly, I think it's good."

Xiao Gao was even happier that Zhang Ruixiang was on her side.

When Gao heard this, she became a little unhappy, "There is a gentleman's style, but he is a little thinner. I feel that my body is not in good shape, and I don't know how many years I can live." This is clearly trying to pick Lu Xinyan from Zhang Ruixiang, Xiao Gao was angry, and gritted his teeth: "Some people look thin, but they are actually in good health. Ruixiang has never been sick a few times since he was a child."

Mrs. Gao glanced at Mrs. Gao, "I'm not sure if I'm in good health, after all, I'm not a doctor, but as far as I know, very few people in this family have lived past the age of 50. If others don't say it, just say you Mom, your aunt, your uncle, they all died when they were over 40. Young couples with old age companions will be like me, an orphan old woman who wants to find a caring person to talk to at night. One or two Yes, they only know how to plot against you."

At the end of the sentence, Gao shi meant something specifically, Xiao Gao shi couldn't hear it, if it was something else, she could bear it and let it go, but now it is related to the distribution of Lu Xinyan's dowry in the future. She doesn't want to.

Mrs. Gao said before that after the matter was completed, she would hand over a quarter to Mrs. Gao. Mrs. Gao felt that a quarter was too little. At that time, she was thinking that if Lu Xinyan liked the person she introduced, she would pay for it when the time came. Secretly and quietly instigated, he got all the dowry into his own hands.

"Aunt, to put it bluntly, if the old uncle was still in this mansion, it wouldn't be the situation it is today." Xiao Gao said in an indifferent way.

The old uncle passed away early. At that time, Lu Xinyan had just been born, so she didn't have any impression of the old uncle.

However, it is said that when the old uncle was alive, although the Gao family made things difficult for Lin Ruyue, because of the old uncle's presence, he did not dare to make things too obvious. Later, after the old uncle passed away, he became more blatant.

Mrs. Gao obviously said that if the old uncle is still there, how can Mrs. Gao have the right to dominate the mansion? "This couple, after getting along for a long time, the relationship will always be weaker." Xiao Gao said, so if there is no relationship, it is not a bad thing for the husband to die early, just like Gao's case. If the old uncle is still there, Tiantian will Those aunts and concubines got in front of Gao to block her heart. Gao was full of anger every day, so the husband who had no feelings had better die early, and drove those concubines and aunts to one place, out of sight and out of mind!

Xiao Gao thought so in her heart, but Lu Congyuan was still there, so she couldn't say it out, but the meaning in these words was obvious enough.

Gao Shi was trembling with anger, "Did you die early?"

"Auntie, where are you thinking?" Xiao Gao exclaimed artificially, "My niece and my master have a very good relationship, it has been like a day for ten years, don't think about it, my niece is very nervous when the master sneezes! "

No matter how good the relationship is, you will get tired of it after a long time, not to mention that Xiao Gao is not a beautiful woman, and Lu Congyuan has a cold temper. Now the so-called relationship is nothing but the friendship between cousins!Gao Shi knew that she opened her eyes and said nonsense, but she couldn't refute it, so she just stared at Xiao Gao coldly, wishing to poke a hole in her body.

Lu Xinyan had seen enough of the drama, and said slowly, "In addition to Mr. Zhang, I also think Mr. Wang is good. He is enthusiastic, cheerful, sunny, and generous. He is worth making friends with."

The proud look on Xiao Gao's face froze immediately.

Wang Lin is from Gao's side.

Gao felt that the whole popularity was smooth in an instant, and she smiled and said: "Since I think A Lin is good, we can have more contacts in the future. We are relatives, so don't be afraid of gossip."

Seeing that Lu Xinyan was about to nod in agreement, Xiao Gao hurriedly said: "A-Lin looks good and has a good temper, but he is too carefree. Women of all ages can chat well. He seems too carefree. For women For me, it’s better to concentrate on the kind, like Ruixiang.”

When Xiao Gao stepped on Wang Lin, he did not forget to give Zhang Ruixiang a hand.

Mrs. Gao said angrily: "Why don't you be fickle? Get to know more women before you get married, and get to know more women. After you get married, you will be more relaxed and considerate to your wife. It is better than those who have never seen the world. They look honest and protect you." Don’t let a vixen make a wink one day, and even lose your soul.”

Gao Shi and Xiao Gao Shi praised each other's people and trampled on each other's people, without realizing it, they had already changed the topic from their cousins ​​to who is more suitable to be Lu Xinyan's husband!
This obvious heart was exposed by Da Lala.

Lu Xinyan Chuchu was still amused by this, but after a long time, she became bored, so she interrupted the argument between the two, "Mr. Zhang and Mr. Wang are both good choices for your husband. I believe that whoever marries them will live happily ever after. !"

Gao Shi and Xiao Gao Shi immediately stopped their quarrel, looking expectantly at each other, hoping to hear more accurate news from her.

Lu Xinyan yawned and stood up, "Grandma, I'm a little sleepy, don't disturb grandma chatting with Aunt Gao, I'll go back and rest first."

The two had no choice but to watch Lu Xinyan leave.

The protagonist is gone, there is nothing to argue about, Xiao Gao left immediately, "Auntie, the master is still waiting for my niece to take care of me, my niece is leaving first, and my aunt has an early rest."

Little Gao didn't wait for Gao to speak, and left in a hurry, Gao was so angry that she gritted her teeth, and Madam Che took the opportunity to apply eye drops, "Old lady, this servant is really worthless for you, you have been pampering and protecting Madam all these years , but once interests are involved, Madam will forget about your kindness, and wish to take everything as her own."

Gao snorted coldly: "You're right. Ever since Lin Ruyue passed away and uncle and I helped her upright, she has become more and more disrespectful to this aunt in her heart. Lu Xinyan and Li returned to the mansion these days, Ah Ning's wolfish ambition is becoming more and more difficult to hide. I know all this very well! However, I have to rely on her to deal with the matter of the leather goods store now, so I just endured it all the time and did not tear myself apart from her! Waiting for the leather goods store After the matter is resolved, after Lu Xinyan handed over the management rights of the property under her name, hum!"

-

The heavy snow in the capital started from the evening of the sixth day of the sixth day, with light rain in the first half of the night, and heavy snow all day on the seventh day of the seventh day, until the morning of the eighth day, that is, the day when Xiao Yichen won a big victory in the Southwest.

The whole world is white, covered with silver makeup, and the icicles under the eaves reflect the cold light.

On such a day, it is most suitable to lie in bed and sleep late.

But today is an important day, and she has to go out, so Lu Xinyan had to get up from the bed.

The moment she sat up, a cold wind came into the bed, and the little black cat who warmed her bed meowed in dissatisfaction.

"You are someone who enjoys it." Lu Xinyan curled her lips, tightening the corners of the quilt, and then the black cat rubbed against her leg in satisfaction.

After washing up and having breakfast, Lu Xinyan took Qingtong Xingluo and went out against the cold weather.

Xiao He is afraid of the cold, so she automatically gives up the chance to go out. Bai Zhi is not in good health, and this weather is not suitable for going out.

A small charcoal stove had been set up in the carriage early to make it warm, and most of the snow in the middle of the road had been cleared away.

Lu Xinyan asked Uncle Tian to prepare some chains in advance, and tied them to the wheels of the carriage to act as anti-slip strips. Although the carriage would be uncomfortable to sit in, it was better than if something icy and slipped and caused an accident.

Because of the snow, the street was very deserted. The scents of leeks, eggs, meat buns, beef noodles, etc. that wafted in the morning had all disappeared today.

There are a few scattered shops on both sides, most of which are closed, and in the open shops, the clerks all shrug their shoulders and tuck their necks, lazily.

Compared with the desertedness of the whole street, the inside and outside of the Suyifang was very lively, with crowds of people swarming and forming a long queue, as if all the customers from the whole street had rushed there.

Lu Xinyan and the others wandered around in the car, and arrived not far from Suyifang after a while.

The carriage stopped, Ziyan said: "Miss, there are many people crowded in front of the Suyifang shop, the carriage cannot get in, so we have to get off here."

"Got it." Lu Xinyan and the others got off the carriage one by one.

Just came out of the warm carriage, although the cold wind was blowing, the branches on the eaves on both sides were either covered with snow or icy edges, but after a while, Lu Xinyan and others still didn't feel the cold.

"Hey, miss, there are really a lot of people!" Qingtong couldn't help exclaiming, just now Caizi said there were a lot of people, Qingtong didn't take it to heart, the weather is getting colder, it's normal for many people to buy clothes to keep out the cold, now I see There were so many people, they could barely maintain the formation at first, but then they all swarmed up and surrounded the entire Suyifang gate.

"Miss, what are they doing here? Just to buy warm clothes?" Xing Luo found it inconceivable. In her opinion, there are a lot of clothing stores in the capital, not to mention, there are quite a few of them near Suyifang. It was a tailor-made clothing store, but at the door of those stores, there was no sign of a customer except for the guys who looked at this side enviously.

Why do you have to squeeze your head and squeeze at the door of the Suyifang?
Qingtong had an idea, "Miss, last time you said you wanted to deal with the people behind the scenes who stole the leather goods. Now the things in the Suyifang are the sharp weapons to deal with them?"

Lu Xinyan nodded with a smile, and when Qingtong was about to ask what it was, she saw a few women in their twenties squeezed out from the crowd, and the direction they saw was obviously coming out of the Suyifang.

After Qingtong and Xingluo saw it, they couldn't help but widen their eyes.

I saw that the women were wearing a long jacket from head to toe, every half of the palm-width of the jacket was divided into sections with threads, and the bulging piece separated by the One piece at a time, it's like... a large candied haws!
Because the waist is tied with the same color fabric, the women are slim and not bloated, but have a strange and fresh beauty!
Not only were the women wearing them, but they were also carrying several pieces in their hands. Their faces were beaming, and it could be seen that they were very happy.

"This dress is really warm! I'm usually afraid of the cold. I don't want to wake up in the winter morning. My mother-in-law always whispers behind my back, and my husband doesn't stand by me. It's really annoying! Now I have this dress , I won’t be afraid of not being able to get up in the future, and see if my mother-in-law dares to speak of me in the future!”

"The clothes are not only warm, but also cheap, and the style is also novel. In the past, I used to buy leather clothes for the New Year, not to mention expensive, but I'm tired of looking at those styles when I come and go."

"I heard that Xu's Leather Store has a lot of leathers hanging out in the morning, and the price is one and a half times as much as before. It's very expensive. If you buy one leather there, you can buy at least five of us!"

"Anyway, I don't plan to buy leather this year. It just so happened that my mother-in-law thought I would not be able to budget carefully. Now that this new style comes out, I will buy a few pieces for home. The price is affordable and the style is novel. My mother-in-law has no Be picky, this year promises to be a happy one!"

Several women walked past Lu Xinyan and the others, chatting and laughing.

Qingtong was dumbfounded, "Miss, what... what kind of clothes are these?"

"This is called a down jacket!"

"Why do the lumps in the middle bulge?"

"It's filled with duck feathers and goose feathers, so it's very warm to wear."

"Duck...feather? Goose...feather?" Xing Luo exclaimed, "Miss, you really know how to think!" She actually stuffed duck feathers and goose feathers into her clothes!

"This duck feather and goose feather is warm enough to wear?" Qingtong couldn't believe it.

"Ducks and geese rely on their fur to keep warm in winter, just like other animal fur." ​​Lu Xinyan shrugged, "If you don't believe me, you can try it."

When Yan Qingruo met Yan Qingruo in the Confucian family's other courtyard that day, when Yan Qingruo said that she was afraid of the cold, Lu Xinyan thought of making a down jacket for her.

The next day she went to Liu's Restaurant to find the shopkeeper, and asked him to save the daily duck feathers and goose feathers in the shop and send them to Suyifang. She also told Ye Shuang how to make down jackets, and asked Bai Zhi to mix some duck feathers to remove the duck feathers. The medicine with the peculiar smell of feather and goose feather is going to surprise Yan Qingruo when the time comes.

A few days later, the fur goods were intercepted. Lu Xinyan simply followed the trend and expanded the production of down, using novel styles and suitable prices to attack those who robbed fur goods.

At the same time, in order to confuse the other party and prevent the other party from making trouble secretly, she followed Gao's and Xiao Gao's wishes. On the one hand, she ate, drank and had fun with Wang Lin, Zhang Ruixiang and others, and on the other hand, let the big and small Gao come forward to clean up the mess in the leather goods store. The other party is cheating.

Judging from today's results, it all went very smoothly!

I just don't know what will happen to the person who intercepted the goods after knowing all this?
It made them happy for a few days before, and when their excitement reached its peak, it must be very sour to be dragged down from above into the abyss!
Lu Xinyan was looking forward to it.

-

Xu's Leather Goods Store.

Early in the morning, all kinds of leather clothes, gloves, etc. were hung in Xu's leather goods stores. It has snowed again in the past few days, and the weather is extremely cold. At this time, keeping warm is the top priority. As for whether it looks good or not, except for some young ladies who will be picky, everyone else mainly focuses on being able to survive the winter warmly.

Shopkeeper Liu of Xu's Leather Goods Store sent someone to notify the old customers the day before yesterday that a large number of new leather goods would be available in the store today. Because of the shortage of leather goods, the owner spent twice as much as before to get the goods, so this sale The price has to be increased by [-]%. Although many regular customers feel that [-]% is too expensive, but there are no leathers for sale in the capital, which shows that it is true that there is a shortage of goods. Rare things are more expensive. This truth is understood by regular customers. After a few simple complaints, I didn't say anything, only that I came to buy on time today.

Shopkeeper Liu was full of confidence when he opened the door.

After opening the door, he saw a crowd of people with smiles brighter than that of the bridal chamber. He and his staff welcomed the guests in with the most enthusiastic attitude, recommended and introduced them skillfully, and greeted them warmly. It made the guests feel a lot better about the hemorrhage, so they chose a few pieces one after another.

Just as the waiter calculated the bill and the guests were about to pay, there was a sudden loud voice from outside, "I heard that there is a new variety in the Suyifang, which is very warm to wear. It's called a down jacket. Five hundred copper coins are enough." You can buy one, there are both men’s and women’s styles, and there are discounts if you buy more! It’s going crazy over there, and it’s probably going to be out of stock soon, let’s go and have a look!”

Hurrah, a large group of people passed by the door of the leather goods store. The customers who were about to pay the money inside couldn't help being curious, and said to the clerk that they didn't have enough money, and they would come back tomorrow, and immediately turned around and left. The rest of the shop followed suit, and the leather goods store that was crowded with people suddenly left shopkeeper Liu and a few guys, staring wide-eyed and still not recovering from the sudden change.

After a while, Shopkeeper Liu came to his senses. After handing over the affairs of the store to a clerk, he went to inquire about the news himself.

It's terrible to go this time, and the leather goods store didn't return, so I went directly to ask Xu Dongcai for instructions!
Xu Dongcai is currently in his own house, leisurely hugging the beauty, drinking fine wine, imagining that he will have a lot of money in his pocket in a short time.

"Master, I will feed you~" A beautiful concubine held the wine in her lips and brought it to Xu Dongcai's lips. sweet.

The fine wine that passed the beauty's lips was even more intoxicating. Xu Dongcai smelled of alcohol, his blood boiled, he hugged the beauty and pressed his big palm directly through the skirt.

The beauty's concubine's face was flushed quickly, her eyes were filled with spring water, and her breath was panting in a hurry, rippling in this hot room, which made people feel fascinated.

Xu Donglai was about to take off his clothes when suddenly there was a disappointing knock on the door.

"What's the matter?" He asked angrily.

The knocking on the door stopped for two breaths, obviously knowing that something good had been interrupted, and he was afraid of being blamed by Xu Dongcai, but this matter was very important, so he had to report it. Something happened to the leather goods store."

problem occurs?Xu Dongcai's whole body seemed to have been drenched by cold water, his blood drained, and he pushed the concubine away mercilessly, "Get out!"

The concubine knew his temperament, so she didn't dare to tidy up his clothes, for fear of procrastinating and causing Xu Dongcai to get bored.

After the concubine left, Shopkeeper Liu came in. It was a snowy day, and because he came in a hurry, his forehead was covered with dense sweat.

Seeing his expression, Xu Dongcai felt that his heart was going cold, so he managed to calm down, "Say, what's the matter?"

Shopkeeper Liu talked about the down jacket and the fact that all the customers in his store went to the Suyifang, "I wanted to buy one, but there are too many people in the Suyifang, and the shopkeepers are too busy. I was in a hurry to report this to you, so I didn’t buy a sample! Master, what should we do next?”

Su Yifang is a tailor-made clothing workshop that Lu Xinyan and Ye Shuang cooperated with. Most people in Beijing know that Lu Xinyan is extremely talented in design and is responsible for making samples, while Ye Shuang takes care of the rest.

Ye Shuang's status is special, and the number of stores in Suyifang is limited. Although the business is very good, there is no major conflict with the leather goods store. So after the fur goods were cut off, Xu Dongcai sent people to watch every move of the Hou Mansion, and the every move of the leather goods store under Lu Xinyan's name. , but never thought of going to Suyifang!

"The goods in the store will immediately drop back to the original price, and the goods in the hand will be bought at a low price immediately!" After a few moments, Xu Dongcai made a decisive decision, "This matter must be done quickly!"

Xu Dongcai has not seen the so-called down jacket yet, but his aunts in the mansion have a house, and everyone praised Su Yifang's clothes in the past, but unfortunately there are too many people who want to buy them, and the other party sells them in limited quantities. Many favorite styles can only be bought or not. arrive.

He deduced from this that this newly released down jacket must be as extraordinary as other clothes. Although it may not have the value of leather, who in this world is not looking for novelty?At least this year, the entire market may not have a foothold.

I have to say that Xu Dongcai's consciousness and sensitivity to the market are very high, but it's a pity...

"Master An Kangbo, Mrs. Ankang, came to the door a few times before and wanted to buy goods from the little one privately. Would you like to sell some to her?" Shopkeeper Liu asked.

"I heard that the current Mrs. Ankang and Miss Lu are at odds. Miss Lu is only willing to call her aunt, but not her mother. This time Mrs. Ankang is running around. Maybe Miss Lu will use her tricks to kill two birds with one stone and tease Ankang. Mrs. Uncle, you lied to me again.” Xu Dongcai sneered, “You really underestimated this woman! Shopkeeper Liu, immediately send someone to inform Mrs. Ankang that you have a batch of goods and are willing to sell them to her privately. In terms of Madam Bofu's face, you can get a discount on the price!"

"Yes, the big one is in charge, and the little one will do it right away!"

-

It was raining and snowing two days ago, and Xiao Gao still insisted on running outside. After waking up this morning, he felt dizzy and dizzy. He probably had a cold. Thinking about his age, if he was exhausted, he would not be blessed even if he got the money. The loss outweighs the gains, so Xiao Gao decided to give himself a half-day vacation.

Just as she was drowsy after drinking the medicine, Nanny Ling came in and woke her up, "Ma'am, shopkeeper Liu from Xu's Leather Goods Store has come and said he has something good to see you."

Xiao Gao is exhausted every day because of the leather goods shop. When Madam Ling heard that the people in Xu's fur shop knew the importance of the matter, she told her the news regardless of Xiao Gao's illness.

Xiao Gao's body was limp at first, but when he heard the news, he immediately regained his spirits, "Hurry up and help me change my clothes and make up, and find someone to greet me nicely!"

Originally about the source of goods, Mrs. Gao said that she would find a way to get in touch, but Mrs. Gao was selfish and thought that if she could solve it together, she might be able to get more dowry management rights at that time, so she quietly ran to several companies. For a leather goods store, ask the shopkeeper about the source of the goods.

Today, shopkeeper Liu of Xu's Leather Goods Store came to the door in person, there must be good news.

Xiao Gao quickly got up from the bed, dressed and washed, and came to the living room, "I'm sorry shopkeeper Liu, I kept you waiting."

Shopkeeper Liu was drinking tea slowly, when he saw Mrs. Gao coming in, he quickly put down the teacup and stood up, "I have met Mrs. An Kangbo."

"Shopkeeper Liu, don't worry too much, please sit down." Xiao Gao went straight to the point, "Shopkeeper Liu, you came to my Ankangbo mansion today, but is there any news about the source of this leather goods?"

Shopkeeper Liu leaned towards Mrs. Gao and lowered his voice, "Ma'am guessed right."

Xiao Gao was overjoyed, as expected!Then he lowered his voice and asked urgently: "How much is there? How much money do you need?"

Shopkeeper Liu said: "This is the source of goods that I found in private without telling our boss. I want to take advantage of the years ago to earn some extra money. The supply of goods is quite sufficient. As for the price, Ma'am, you are not an amateur. There is a shortage of leather goods this year, and the prices have all gone up. Coupled with the sudden drop in heavy snow these days, the price must not be cheap! However, I secretly heard that this batch of goods was robbed from several northern customers, and there is no business, so if you want more, the price will be higher. There is something to talk about."

"The one who robbed him, will he get into a lawsuit?" Xiao Gao didn't want to tire Lu Congyuan because of this.

Shopkeeper Liu said: "Don't worry about this, Ma'am, the fur industry is like this, and Uber was born in the green forest. He started his business by robbing houses, and later killed a group of fur dealers and snatched their leather. Today's scale! As long as we are serious businessmen, what does it have to do with us if something happens to the person who provides the supply? If everyone who does business asks about the eighteen generations of the other party's ancestors, this business will still be good. Can it go on?"

Xiao Gao nodded in agreement, "Shopkeeper Liu is right, that's exactly what he said."

Shopkeeper Liu looked at her expression, "Madam, I made this trip specially for the sake of Ankangbo Mansion and your sincere desire for the goods. If you want it, you have to confirm it immediately. You know more about the extent of the shortage than I do, and once the news spreads, the goods will be robbed by the afternoon at the most, and you will have nothing to want by then."

When Xiao Gao heard this, she became nervous, "According to Shopkeeper Liu, what should I do now?"

"If Madam wants to, immediately ask someone to bring the money and come pick up the goods with me. If you still have to think about it, then I will leave first."

Seeing Xiao Gao's hesitation, shopkeeper Liu got up and made a gesture to leave, Xiao Gao quickly stopped him, "Treasurer Liu, wait, it's not that I don't want it, but I don't have much money to mobilize."

"I have been a shopkeeper for more than 20 years, but I know some people in the bank..." Shopkeeper Liu said a few words, then stopped immediately, "Ahem, madam, I didn't say that just now. Make less money. Although it is said that this opportunity does not wait for anyone, sometimes there is no other way but to miss the opportunity.”

Hearing what he said, Xiao Gao's heart was moved, "Shopkeeper Liu, please wait for another quarter of an hour, and I will ask my aunt for instructions."

Shopkeeper Liu pretended to be embarrassed, "Madam, although I know the customer well, I really can't wait for too long. Please reply as soon as possible."

"Understood, thank you shopkeeper Liu."

Xiao Gao hurried to the Ankang Hospital immediately.

"Auntie, my niece has found a source of leather goods!" Panting Xiao Gao, "But my niece doesn't have much money, can I borrow some from my niece?"

"We've found the source of the goods, why don't you ask Lu Xinyan to pay for it directly? What kind of money are you paying?" Seeing her disheveled appearance, Gao frowned.

Shopkeeper Liu was in a hurry, time was waiting for no one, Xiao Gao simply pointed out, "Auntie, the price provided by this source is similar to last year, and this year the general price has increased by [-] to [-]%, if the niece buys it for money first, then sells it If you give it to Lu Xinyan, you can earn [-] to [-]% of the price difference."

Gao Shi immediately became interested, "Really?"

Xiao Gao said: "Auntie, my niece is not running for nothing these days. If Lu Xinyan could get fur goods, would she hand over the management of the fur shop so easily? She must be thinking that we can't get fur goods. I couldn't appease the guests, so I made this problem on purpose."

Gao said: "A-Ning, you are right! I will raise money right away! Count me in!"

Xiao Gao said: "Auntie, if I have time to collect money, my niece will not look for you! The capital city has sold out all the fur goods a few days ago, and everyone is looking for sources of goods in private. If the news spreads, the goods can still wait for us till tomorrow?"

"In a short while, the cash I can take out is only 200 taels."

"That's it?" Xiao Gao was a little disappointed, "My niece only has 100 taels, and 300 taels really can't buy many leather goods! If there is more silver, the fur shop under our name can't sell so much, and sell it to other fur goods shop, we can also earn the middle price difference! Such a good opportunity..."

Mrs. Gao also felt that it was a pity, but the Ankangbo Mansion was already poor. Since Lin Ruyue married in, it was all supported by Lin Ruyue. It was not easy for her to save the 200 taels.

Xiao Gao sighed, and suddenly his eyes lit up, remembering shopkeeper Liu's slip of the tongue, "Auntie, the shopkeeper Liu of Xu's Leather Goods Store, just said that he knows someone from the bank. Auntie, why don't we borrow some money from Yinzhuang?"

"Borrowing money? The interest alone is scary!" Gao disagreed.

"Auntie, think about it, once we get this product today, we will sell it to Lu Xinyan tomorrow and earn 500% of the price difference. If it is 150 taels, we can earn [-] taels. No matter how expensive the interest is, it is only a few taels of silver a day. What a bargain! "

As soon as the money was counted out, Gao couldn't help but be moved. If 500 taels can earn 150 taels, wouldn't 1000 taels make 300 taels?Thinking of her hard work for decades, she secretly saved 200 taels of cash!
The more she thinks about it, the greater the temptation. Gao's little reluctance was soon swallowed by desire, "Okay, borrow it! Count me in!"

"Auntie, since you are counted as one, your name must be on the IOU." Xiao Gao would not be so stupid as to take the risk alone, "If you can't go, why don't you give your seal to your niece. I will put a stamp on it at that time, as if we borrowed it together."

She doesn't trust Gao Shi, how can Gao Shi trust her now? "Let Mother Che take my seal and go with you!"

Xiao Gao pouted secretly, the old man was really suspicious! "That's it. Shopkeeper Liu is only willing to wait for a quarter of an hour. Now the time is almost up."

Gao Shi immediately handed over the seal to Madam Che, and after a few private confessions, she and Xiao Gao Shi left together.

Shopkeeper Liu first took them to the bank, and used his friendship to secure three days of interest-free for them. Xiao Gao originally planned to borrow 500 taels, but he got excited and borrowed 1000 taels at an interest rate of [-]/[-] per day. Three days later, Pay back five hundred copper coins a day.

Mrs. Xiao Gao thought that she would be able to repay the money within three days, so she stamped her seal happily. Madam Che didn't know how much money she wanted to borrow. Mrs. Feng told her, Mrs. Gao stamped it, and she followed suit. If Mrs. Xiao Gao didn't stamp it, she wouldn't. Now that Mrs. Gao stamped it, Madam Che followed suit.

In the end, shopkeeper Liu took the two of them to choose fur goods, and personally helped to find someone to send them to Ankangbo Mansion.

Xiao Gao was very grateful, "Shopkeeper Liu, thank you so much this time, I will definitely not treat you badly after the goods in my hand are out of hand!"

Although Xiao Gao is stingy, she still understands the reason why she can't bear to let her children be trapped by wolves. She also wants to get on the shopkeeper Liu, so that she can earn a difference in the price of leather goods every year in the future!
Shopkeeper Liu cupped his hands and smiled meaningfully, "Madam, you are welcome, I will take my leave first."

Xiao Gao sent shopkeeper Liu away with great gratitude.
