A few years ago, the master of the Zhao family invited Uncle Xian back to take care of the shop. In fact, he wanted Uncle Xian to take the young master of the Zhao family to learn how to do business. The young master of the Zhao family naturally knew that his father was thinking about him, so he followed him in private
Uncle Xian learned a lot.
Later, the young master of the Zhao family would not go to the shop on time at that time. Sometimes he would get drunk, which would make Uncle Xian jump to his feet. Uncle Xian also met Xu'er several times at that time and felt that Xu'er was open-minded and studious.
At that time, I had plans to take Xuer to Licheng.
Uncle Xian stayed in the capital for a year, but the young master of the Zhao family made no progress at all. In the end, he couldn't bear it anymore and discussed with the master of the Zhao family to return to Licheng alone.
When the young master of the Zhao family recalled what happened back then, he felt sorry for Uncle Xian. After all, he had learned a lot from Uncle Xian, but on the surface he could only pretend to be worthless. In the end, he was angry with Uncle Xian.
Licheng. Actually, Uncle Xian wanted to take Xuer back, but was stopped by his mother.
"Uncle Xian stayed in the capital for a year. My father hoped that I could make a difference, so he left me to Uncle Xian. You also know that I had no interest in doing business at all, so I made Uncle Xian angry and returned to Licheng. Now he
He came to the capital in person because of those plans. But when he heard that I was also going to Licheng, he naturally didn't want to see me." The young master of the Zhao family said with a smile.
"Brother, Uncle Xian knows that you drew those pictures, so he did not object to father's proposal. Why don't we have dinner together tonight? When Uncle Xian sees you again, he will no longer have any prejudice against you.
"The second young master said.
"I think it's better to forget it, lest Uncle Xian sees me and thinks of the past. Just go and have dinner later. If my father asks, just tell me that I have something else to do," said the young master of the Zhao family.
.
"Brother, you can take this opportunity to have a good chat with Uncle Xian. Why don't you go to the front hall to have a meal?" the second young master said helplessly.
"This time I went to the shop to ask you for advice because of the women in the backyard. The suggestion to open the shop was made by you. And this time the plan also depends entirely on you, otherwise my father would not agree so easily. After I
So I am following you to Licheng, just to see the accommodation arranged for them." said the young master of the Zhao family.
The second young master had no choice but to nod his head and left the courtyard of the young master of the Zhao family.
He really didn't understand that it was his eldest brother who had clearly guided him to the idea of opening a shop, and the plan looked like it had been planned many years ago. In other words, they had all misunderstood him over the years, and he was not without merit.
He just didn't understand why the eldest brother wanted to disguise himself.
He couldn't figure it out anyway, so he might as well think more about how to take care of business.
"Master, why don't you take the opportunity to secretly explain it to Uncle Xian?" he said carelessly.
"Explaining to Uncle Xian is equivalent to telling my father. It's not the time to tell them now. Let's tell them when we have the opportunity in the future." The young master of the Zhao family said.
"Master, aren't you just worried about Madam? If Madam knows that you have a future, she will definitely be very happy. The reason why she targets the Second Young Master is because she is worried that the Second Young Master will take away the things that belong to the Young Master. If she knows that you are not useless at all,
, you won’t be as worried as you are now." He said.
"You don't understand mother at all. If she knew that I had the ability to take care of the Zhao family's business, she would immediately arrange for a killer to kill Xu'er. My father is now beginning to re-employ Xu'er. Although she is a little reluctant now, she does not dare to go too far.
Because she is worried that I alone cannot support the Zhao family's business, and when the time comes, the elders will choose another leader." said the young master of the Zhao family.
"So that's it? No wonder Madam has restrained herself a lot now," Careless said.
"Okay, come with me." The young master of the Zhao family said.
"It's almost time to eat, where are you going?" he asked casually.
"You'll know when you get there," said the young master of the Zhao family.
He carelessly put down the cup in his hand and followed the young master of the Zhao family out of the Zhao family.
As a result, the carriage stopped in front of the Yanyu Building. The young master of the Zhao family and Da Yi got off the carriage and were greeted respectfully by the people at the door.
"Hey, isn't this the young master of the Zhao family? You haven't been here for a while," said grandma.
"Mom is joking, you should have heard about what happened recently. I was trapped at home by my father and couldn't get out," said the young master of the Zhao family.
"The accounts will be settled later. You can listen to some music here and I'll let Yanhong accompany you." Mammy said with a smile.
"No need for it today, I have to go back quickly." said the young master of the Zhao family.
"Okay, Master, please come with me." Grandma said.
The young master of the Zhao family followed Mammy to the accounting room in Yanyu Building. The grandma asked the accounting clerk to take out an account book. After opening it, the young master of the Zhao family said to the young master of the Zhao family: "Young master of the Zhao family, can you see if this is the number?"
The young master of the Zhao family looked at the account book and nodded and said, "Exactly."
Grandma asked the accountant to bring the banknote to the young master of the Zhao family, and then asked the young master of the Zhao family to sign on the account book.
After the young master of the Zhao family signed, he collected the banknote and said to his mother: "The next batch of goods will be delivered soon, so the girls can save some money."
"Young Master Zhao, you are really joking. The rouge and gouache you sent has a beautifying effect. The girls all praised it after using it. Yanyulou will give the girls rouge and gouache every month. The girls who gave it before did not use it at all.
, they all went out to buy some good ones in private. Now, not only are they not enough for the goods you sent, they also bought them with money in private." Mammy said with a smile on her face.
"So grandma also made a lot of money." said the young master of the Zhao family.
"It's easy to talk about," said grandma.
After the young master of the Zhao family left Yanyu Tower, he did not go back directly to his hometown. Instead, he went to the teahouse on South Street to drink tea.
"Master, you might have had an accident in the teahouse last time. Let's go back quickly today." Dadu said worriedly.
"Why are you in a hurry? Let's go to the teahouse to eat something and have a cup of tea. The last incident probably had nothing to do with the teahouse, so don't worry." said the young master of the Zhao family.
Carelessly stood at the door and originally wanted to stop the young master, but after the young master finished speaking, he went directly into the teahouse.
The young master of the Zhao family went up to the second floor, ordered a pot of tea and a few plates of cakes, and finally pulled Da Yi to his seat.
"Master, it's just dinner time, you still have time to go back," he said carelessly.
"I just deliberately avoided them, so I came to the teahouse." said the young master of the Zhao family.
Da Yi wanted to say something, but the waiter came up with several plates of pastries. The young master of the Zhao family picked up a piece and stuffed it into Da Yi's mouth, and said to him: "Try it, the pastries here are very delicious."
"Master, you still want to drink tea." He said carelessly.
If he is careless, the young master of the Zhao family understands that he wants him to really take this opportunity to explain the contents of the plan to Uncle Xian, so that Uncle Xian can understand that he is not useless. However, his mother will definitely be there for today's dinner. If he is here
When he explained the plan to Uncle Xian, his mother would naturally know the truth. So, he deliberately avoided it.
It just so happened that today was another day to go to Yanyu Building to collect the bill. There was no chance to go out during the day. Why didn't he sneak out secretly when Uncle Xian came over and his father couldn't care about him?
"I've collected these banknotes. I didn't expect Yanyulou's business to be so smooth." The young master of the Zhao family took out the banknotes from his arms and handed them to Da Yi.
"Master, since those rouges are so popular, why don't you open a shop in the capital?" he said carelessly.
"If I open a shop in the capital, my father will receive the news soon." said the young master of the Zhao family.
"But, how long do you plan to keep it secret?" he said carelessly.
"This time I go to Licheng, I plan to move all the people in the yard. After I get the results, I can tell my father." said the young master of the Zhao family.
Zhao family
When it was time to eat, Mr. and Mrs. Zhao accompanied Uncle Xian to the front hall. Even the second young master had also come to the front hall to prepare for the meal. Seeing that Mr. Zhao was not there, Mrs. Zhao thought that the master had deliberately refused to let her go.
Master, come here.
The lady said to the servant on the side: "Where is the young master? Why didn't you invite him over?"
"Back to Madam, the young master is not in the yard." the servant said.
"What? How is it possible? Has the young master gone to the study?" the lady asked.
"Madam, the concierge said that the young master has gone out." The servant said.
"How could the young master go out? Don't talk nonsense. He is sitting in the yard thinking about his past and doesn't dare to leave the Zhao Mansion." The lady said.
The servant didn't dare to say anything, so he just kept his mouth shut. He stepped aside and quickly ordered other servants to serve the food.
Mr. Zhao looked at the housekeeper, and the housekeeper came over and said a few words in Mr. Zhao's ear. Mr. Zhao didn't ask any more questions, but it was obvious that he was very angry. The lady didn't dare to say anything, and looked at the master.
With his appearance, he should already know where the young master has gone.
When the food was ready, Mr. Zhao excitedly said to Uncle Xian: "I thought I had to go to Licheng in person to see my old friend again, but I didn't expect you to come back."
"Master, Ah Xian is too stubborn. He should come back to visit you earlier." Uncle Xian said.
"It's all because Bin'er has no future, otherwise he wouldn't have made you so angry that he ran back to Licheng." Mr. Zhao said.
"Actually, the eldest young master is very smart. He just doesn't like doing business. Otherwise, if we leave the business to him, the Zhao family's business may be even better." Uncle Xian said sadly.
Mr. Zhao shook his head and said, "If he was promising, he would have been following you for a full year, and now he can't even understand the accounts."
"Master, I wonder if I can see the eldest young master today?" Uncle Xian said.
"How about I ask him to find you in the guest room after the meal is over?" Mr. Zhao said.
"Okay." Uncle Xian said.
Mrs. Zhao was very satisfied with Uncle Xian's words. She never expected that Uncle Xian would praise Bin'er so much.
After several people had eaten, Mrs. Zhao returned to the main courtyard, leaving Mr. Zhao and Xu'er to continue accompanying Uncle Xian.
"What are your plans about the shop?" Mr. Zhao asked.
"I want to discuss with the owner of the preserve store and exchange stores with them. In this way, our store will be bigger." Uncle Xian said.
"It's really good to have the shops together, but if the owner of the preserves shop doesn't agree, what should we do?" Mr. Zhao asked worriedly.
"I have already thought about this. I will give them a larger shop without them having to increase the rent. I think they will consider it carefully," said Uncle Xian.
