Poor Family

Seeing that Shi Fuxin avoided her question and went to Yixiang Hall instead, Madam Shi Wu felt a little depressed, but she followed quickly.

This morning, my natal sister-in-law came to the uncle's house, and from her sister-in-law, she learned that Sister Xin was looking for suppliers of cosmetic raw materials everywhere.

As soon as she heard it, she had the idea of ​​participating in it, and it happened that there was a way from her natal family to get the raw materials for makeup.

After Hongyanxiao opened, Sister Xin gave each of Shi's family a set of skin care products. After she used them, she never wanted to use other products.

The family members of the natal family are also using it, and they all praise Hongyanxiao's products.

Even though Hongyanxiao has only been open for more than two months, it is quite well-known in the capital, from the princes and grandchildren to the nobles, down to officials and female relatives, they are all frequent visitors of Hongyanxiao.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as you are willing to wait for the noble people they can't get in touch with on weekdays, you will definitely be able to wait for them.

There's no way, who made the emperor and Duan Wang both smile with their faces.

Because on the day Hongyanxiao opened, Master Zhan bought a set of Hongyanxiao’s men’s skin care products. Later, the emperor called Wulang to look at it. He saw that Wulang’s black was a little darker, but his skin was indeed more delicate than Mr. Zhao’s. , It is said that the next day I used the skin care products sent by Goro.

At this moment, Wang Duan also found the fourth brother.

When the fourth brother first returned to Beijing, it may be because he has been in the army for many years and the living conditions in the Northwest are difficult, so he looked very old. Standing with the eldest brother, people who don’t know him still think he is a brother.

After using the skin care products formulated by Sister Xin, today's fourth brother has long lost the vicissitudes of the past, and he is much younger.

Duan Wang saw the change of the fourth brother, and immediately ordered a lot of confidante's products.

With the beginning of the emperor and Duan Wang, other people naturally rushed to imitate, and the things of the confidante were good, so the business of the confidante exploded!

Sister Xin was not surprised at all that she could not find a supplier of raw materials.

Without him, Hongyanxiao's business is so booming, it can be said that it has defeated all the rouge gouache shops in the capital as soon as it opened.

With such a booming business, not to mention outsiders are jealous, even she is also jealous.

It is quite normal for someone to be unhappy and want to suppress her.

Mrs. Shi Wu looked at Shi Fuxin who was walking ahead, and remembered the frown on her face when she returned home earlier, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

This girl has a strong temper and is not at all as docile as the other girls in the mansion. She is quite happy to see her run into a wall now.

If she can't find a supplier, this girl will definitely come to beg her in the end, and she will have to control her well when the time comes.

With the good mood of subduing Shi Fuxin, Mrs. Shi Wu followed Shi Fuxin to Yixiang Hall.

In the room, Jin Yue'e, Mrs. Shi, and Mrs. Shi Qi were talking with Mrs. Shi.

When they arrived with Shi Fuxin and Mrs. Shi Wu, they all showed surprise.

Mrs. Shi smiled and said: "What kind of wind is blowing today, so that the two of you met?"

Mrs. Shi Wu replied with a smile: "Look at what my sister-in-law said, it seems that sister Xin and I have more births. In the future, we will often come together to pay my respects to mother."

Hearing this, Mrs. Shi raised her eyebrows, noncommittal, and everyone else looked at Shi Fuxin with a smile.

Shi Fuxin smiled and replied: "My Fifth Aunt and I met by chance at the Chuihuamen." After finishing speaking, she took the tea brought by Nanny An and ate it slowly.

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Shi Wu was a little impatient, but she waited patiently for a while, and finally finished drinking a cup of tea. Seeing that Shi Fuxin was still silent, she had no choice but to speak up: "Sister Xin, didn't you say you have something to say?" Tell your mother?"

Shi Fuxin looked over and smiled: "It's nothing, it's just that opening a shop has been tiring recently, and I want to come to my grandmother for comfort."

As soon as the words came out, everyone looked over.

Mrs. Shi's eyes flickered slightly, she looked at Shi Fuxin: "Why, what trouble did you encounter?"

Shi Fuxin nodded: "I'm in some trouble." Then, she looked at Mrs. Shi Wu, "I just heard what Aunt Wu said, so I guess I already know what trouble I'm in?"

Mrs. Shi Wu didn't expect that Shi Fuxin would not talk about the store's problems by herself, but wanted to use her mouth to speak out, paused, and said with a stiff smile: "Look at what you girl said, I stay in the mansion every day and don't go out. How could I know about you?"

Shi Fuxin didn't refute, and said with a light smile: "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that the supplier I contacted before won't cooperate with me."

"Because it was too sudden, and Hong Yanxiao's business was so good, I couldn't find a new supplier for a while, so I was just a little worried."

Hearing this, Jin Yue'e immediately showed anxiety and worry, while Mrs. Shi, Mrs. Shi, and Mrs. Shi Qi were thoughtful.

Mrs. Shi Wu hurriedly said: "Sister Xin, this is not a small problem, don't be careless, you have to find a way to solve it quickly." Then, she looked at Mrs. Shi who was silent, "Mother, what do you say? right?"

Mrs. Shi nodded with a smile: "Your Fifth Aunt is right, there is a problem in the store, and it must be resolved quickly, so as not to cause major trouble."

Shi Fuxin said with a relaxed face: "I don't think there will be any major troubles. Anyway, the store is provided by the Imperial College, and the worst result is just closing the store."

"How can you close the shop!"

Mrs. Shi Wu stood up excitedly.

Shi Fuxin shrugged: "The store can't keep going, so naturally it has to be closed." After a pause, "I also want to make money, but I overestimated my ability. If I can't find a new supplier, close it." The store is also helpless."

Mrs. Shi Wu was in a hurry: "Sister Xin, we can't take things lightly when we encounter problems, but we shouldn't retreat easily."

Do you really think doing business in the capital is easy?

The capital is the center of power, but also the center of wealth.

It is indeed easier to make money opening a store in the capital than elsewhere, but the competition is also great, and it is okay to work hard if you are small, but it is quite difficult to get rich enough to change your family.

Take her natal family as an example. They opened a shop in the capital from her grandfather's generation to theirs. Among the many businessmen in the capital, they didn't even rank high.

Is it because they are not motivated?

No, it's because their family can't produce scarce, high-quality, and unique goods, so they can only sell other people's goods and earn a middle price difference.

The skin care products sold by Sister Xin happen to have the characteristics of being a hit. As long as they work well, they can make a lot of money.

Jin Yuee also asked, "Is the situation so serious that the store is closed?"

Shi Fuxin comforted Jin Yue'e with a smile: "Mother, it's okay. This is the first time your daughter and I have opened a store. Even if Hong Yanxiao really closes the store in the end, I won't lose money."

"With the experience of opening a store this time, I will be able to make more and more complete preparations next time I open a store."

"In business, there is no one who succeeds once you do it. It is all slowly groping and correcting in the midst of failure."

Mrs. Shi Wu couldn't help but said: "Hongyanxiao's business is so good, it's a pity to close it. Do you really think everyone is as lucky as you?"

Shi Fuxin looked at her: "Fifth Aunt, I don't agree with what you said, I didn't rely on luck to open the shop."

Mrs. Shi Wu was not annoyed when she was refuted, and continued: "Yes, our sister Xin is a capable person, and she is amazing. However, you still have to listen to what Aunt Wu said. This store has finally opened, so don't give it to me easily. Close it, let’s solve the problem if there is a problem, if we can’t solve it by ourselves, don’t we elders still exist?”

Shi Fuxin showed embarrassment: "There are already enough things in the house, how can I worry the elders because of my own affairs, forget it, I'll find a way by myself, anyway, the worst result is nothing but It’s just closing the store, I can afford it.”

"you"

Seeing that Shi Fuxin didn't listen to her words at all, Mrs. Shi Wu hurriedly looked at Mrs. Shi and the others, wanting them to persuade them, but seeing that they were all drinking tea and not talking, she suddenly realized To be acting too eagerly.

In business negotiations, the worst thing to do is to be impatient. Whoever is anxious first will be in a weak position.

Mrs. Shi Wu took a look at Shi Fuxin who was sitting helplessly and refused to leave, and cursed herself a few words in her heart annoyed.

Fortunately, she was still an elder, but she was led away by the nose by sister Xin.

Why does this girl want to close the shop? This girl clearly wants the mansion to help, but she is not good at asking.

After all, when she opened her mouth, she wanted something from others. In this way, the initiative is no longer in her hands. If the mansion wants her to do something, it is difficult for her to shirk.

Mrs. Shi Wu secretly gritted her molar teeth, why is this girl so fine? !

Mrs. Shi, Mrs. Shi, and Mrs. Shi Qi also sighed in their hearts, sister Xin's move really made them admire.

When something happened to her, they had to offer help in turn.

Shi Fuxin saw everyone's expressions in her eyes, pursed her lips, and after eating a plate of snacks, she stood up: "Grandmother, eldest aunt, fifth aunt, seventh aunt, I still have things to do, I'll come back tomorrow to help you." Please greet you."

Seeing that her daughter was about to leave, Jin Yue'e hurriedly said, "I'll go over and see if there's anything I can do to help."

Watching the mother and daughter leave, Mrs. Shi continued to drink tea in spirit, Mrs. Shi held the tea bowl and fiddled with the tea lid, wondering what she was thinking.

Madam Shi Qi remained silent as usual.

Mrs. Shi Wu really wanted to cooperate with Shi Fuxin so that she could get a share, so she was the most impatient: "Mother, do you really care about Miss Xin's matter?"

How could it be ignored!

Confidante's business is even better than the shops opened by Dongfang's and Wei's. It would be a pity if they were closed.

Mrs. Shi cast her eyes on Mrs. Shi: "Boss daughter-in-law, what do you think?"

Mrs. Shi put down the tea bowl, and said with a smile: "Sister Xin is a girl from the Shi family, if something happens to her, the mansion will naturally help her."

Mrs. Shi Wu immediately took the words: "Mother, my natal family can get the raw materials that Miss Xin wants."

Madam Shi raised her hand to interrupt her: "Don't be in a hurry, I have to talk to Uncle about it. That's fine, you guys go down first."
