Poor Family

"Sister Xin, this girl's temperament, you need to sharpen it."

After Mrs. Shi learned from Mrs. Shi that Shi Fuxin's store was in trouble, Mrs. Shi was silent for a while, and said this sentence abruptly.

When the old lady looked over, she understood what her wife meant, thought for a while and said: "I think it's not a bad thing for a girl to be stronger."

The old lady Shi showed disapproval: "It's okay to have a strong temper, but a daughter-in-law who refuses to be disciplined, which high-ranking family would want it?"

"It's not that you don't know the situation in the back house in the capital. Tell me yourself, which mother-in-law wants a disobedient daughter-in-law?"

"Sister Xin is not only strong, but also very righteous."

"Take the matter of her opening a shop this time as an example. She didn't ask for the approval of the mansion at all beforehand. The matter has already been settled before she informed the mansion. Does she take us elders seriously?"

Mrs. Shi was silent and did not speak.

The old lady Shi continued: "In the past, the fourth child's family had just returned home, and sister Xin acted as she pleased, and we didn't bother with her."

"But now she is no longer a wild girl in the northwest border, she is the daughter of the uncle's family, and she has to keep the education she should have and the rules she should know."

"Things like talking back to the elders can't happen again. If it gets out, it will make people laugh."

"It's not easy for me to intervene in the matter of disciplining my granddaughter, but you have to pay attention to it. Didn't you realize that in the eyes of sister Xin, those of us who are elders actually don't have much prestige?"

Mrs. Shi sighed, how could she not feel that Sister Xin pretended to be well-behaved on the surface, but she really lacked respect for them in her heart.

"I don't know what you said, but that girl has confidence."

"Whether it's entering the women's prison or opening a shop, the mansion has never done anything. She can't use the mansion, so naturally she doesn't have to care about the opinions of the people in the mansion."

She now knows the reason why Sister Xin refused to help from the mansion before opening the shop.

He just didn't want the government to dictate what she did.

"Sometimes when I think about it, I really don't know what to do with that girl."

"Like other grandchildren, they have more or less places to rely on the uncle's house. They dare not not listen to our words, but we seem to be unable to provide her with any help."

The old lady Shi disagreed: "After returning to the uncle's mansion, she became the daughter of the uncle's mansion. Isn't that a benefit? With this status, if she gets married in the future, how many times higher will she be matched with in Xibi?"

Mrs. Shi immediately retorted: "If you want to say that, how much honor has the fourth family brought to the mansion after returning to the mansion, sister Xin and his brothers and sisters have brought honor to the mansion a lot."

The old lady Shi was choked up and couldn't find anything to refute for a moment, she was silent for a while and said: "Didn't something happen to Sister Xin's shop, tomorrow I will ask Mr. Shi to inquire about it, let's use this matter to break up with that girl Rip, snap, snap."

Seeing what the old wife wanted to say, she quickly said, "I didn't do this to forcefully change that girl's temperament, but to teach her to know that she must respect her elders, and she can't do anything according to her own temperament. Without notifying the government."

Mrs. Shi didn't agree very much: "If you want to use the store's affairs to manipulate Miss Xin, I'm afraid it will be self-defeating in the end."

The old man was speechless and said: "Afraid? As elders, we are actually afraid of our granddaughter. If outsiders hear your words, it will probably make everyone in the capital laugh."

Mrs. Shi said indifferently: "In this capital city, not all the elders are majestic. For some families with promising children and grandchildren, many things in the family are decided by the younger generation."

The old lady Shi snorted: "This is a minority, you don't want to be an elder who is ridden on the head by younger generations, do you?"

Mrs. Shi did not continue to argue about this topic, but just asked: "What do you want to do?"

Old Master Shi: "Hongyanxiao's business is so good, I don't believe that girl really wants to close the shop, but she doesn't want to take the initiative to ask the mansion."

"Let's spend time with her, and see who can spend more than whom in the end? When she can't hold on anymore, she will naturally ask for help."

Mrs. Shi was a little worried, she was very suspicious, could such an approach really make the sixth granddaughter compromise first?

Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Fifth have been waiting for news from Mrs. Shi. Without the consent of her mother-in-law, it is difficult for them to directly provide help to Shi Fuxin.

Unfortunately, it took a long time to wait.

"Sister-in-law, what do you mean by father and mother? Sister Xin's shop is so prosperous, if she can't produce goods to sell, she will really close the shop. This problem needs to be solved quickly, why don't father and mother care about it?" Are you not in a hurry?"

Looking at Mrs. Shi Wu who looked anxious and worried, Mrs. Shi said indifferently: "Isn't this obvious enough?"

"At the beginning when the fourth younger brother joined the army, he didn't inform the mansion in advance. Only a few days after he joined the army, the people in the mansion knew about it."

"Later, Sister Yin, Sister Xin, and Jiulang applied for the National Women's Academy and Imperial Academy, but they didn't inform the mansion beforehand. Only a few days before the exam, the four younger siblings informed everyone."

"This time, Sister Xin opened the shop, but she still didn't consult the government."

"Father is not happy about being ignored again and again."

Mrs. Shi Wu's face was stunned: "Sister-in-law, if you say so, it is true. The fourth brother's family will not ask the government for permission before doing things."

"Maybe outsiders know what you did, but our own family is still kept in the dark, and we don't have any family values."

As he spoke, he paused.

"Sister Xin, that girl met something. She didn't know how to ask the mansion, but she wanted the mansion to offer help. Speaking of this, I was very angry."

"Father, are you trying to set up rules for Sister Xin?"

Seeing Mrs. Shi frowning, Mrs. Shi Wu asked in surprise, "Sister-in-law disagrees with father's actions?"

Mrs. Shi cast a sideways glance at Mrs. Fifth: "How can father train his granddaughter? Is it up to me?"

Mrs. Shi Wu: "Then why do you look unhappy?"

Mrs. Shi didn't want to talk to Mrs. Fifth anymore, but she was worried that she would talk nonsense and cause misunderstandings with her in-laws, so she explained: "I'm not unhappy, I'm just a little worried."

Mrs. Shi Wu was puzzled: "What are you worried about?"

Mrs. Shi looked at her: "What kind of temperament is Miss Xin? Can't you see it in the past two years? She is stubborn and strong. I am afraid that the final result will not be as we imagined."

Mrs. Shi Wu smiled: "Sister Xin is just a thirteen-year-old girl, and the shop's staff are all hired temporarily. If such a person is to receive the nobles who spend money with beautiful women, I will do it for her. Khan, so far nothing has happened and no one has been offended, it's just like burning incense."

"Loyal and capable servants cannot be trained in a day or two. Take our mansion as an example. Those who can be sent to serve the master have to go through rounds of screening, and then they will be trained by the nanny for a while." It takes two months before I can work as a maid in the courtyard."

"The shop comes into contact with all kinds of customers. The clerks and maids who work in it will only have higher requirements, let alone the stewards and accountants."

"Sister Xin is young and has no experience in opening a store. She naively thinks that she can hire someone who is available for a little money."

"Are those usable people? Those are just doing chores."

"To open a shop and do business, the clerks and maids must be eloquent and slick. Such people cannot be hired casually by spending money on the street."

"It's just a matter of employing people. We do business and open stores, such as purchase channels and sales channels, which are accumulated over the years. We recognize familiar faces, and not everyone can come in and intervene."

"It's not easy for Sister Xin to find material supply channels, and she can't solve it on her own."

"If she still wants to keep smiling, she has to keep her head down."

"Sister-in-law, don't tell me, I hope that my father can take good care of sister Xin this time, the four children of the fourth brother, Goro and Jiulang, are not as big of an idea as hers, let alone the other children in the house."

As he said that, he looked at Mrs. Shi, and said with a flattering smile: "It's Dingrong, as the eldest grandson of the uncle's mansion, if he does anything, he will report to the mansion? He has never made any decisions privately." , This is the example of the Shi family."

Mrs. Shi did not answer these words.

Her heart is actually very complicated. She is a little uncomfortable with Sister Xin's behavior of doing whatever she wants, regardless of what everyone in the house thinks, but at the same time, she is also a little envious.

This kind of indomitable drive, she actually wanted to see in her two sons.

It's a pity that the eldest son is too well-behaved, and the younger son is too civilized.

The temperament of the two sons is doomed to be conservative.

But what can be done in today's Bo mansion?

If Dafang's life in the future will not be too sad, no, it should not be said to be Dafang, but the entire Shi family. If the Shi family wants to have a place in the capital in the future, it depends on the fourth brother's family.

Goro is the imperial bodyguard, and Jiulang is also a servant by the emperor's side. The two of them are the greatest hope of the Shi family.

Sister Yin is a steady and sensible person, so she doesn't need to worry about it.

As for Sister Xin, she was a bit noisy, but what she did was mostly a credit to the uncle's house.

They are already very good at this, and they can't be greedy anymore.

Shi Fuxin waited for a day, but seeing that Mrs. Shi didn't talk to her, she went to explore the burial area in the western suburbs that night, and found a winding secret passage under the rocky mountainous area where the arrow was shot in the cigarette bag.

Following the secret passages, through the exploration of spiritual power, it was discovered that there are a series of criss-crossing secret passages under the ground in the north and east of the burial area.

These secret passages formed a web of dark passages similar to a spider's web. If someone did not lead the way, outsiders would definitely be trapped inside if they entered below.

Shi Fuxin could 'see' that there were piles of bones piled up in many secret passages.

Under the dark channel network, there is a large and empty prison.

Shi Fuxin used her mental power to scan the dark tunnel network and the underground prison over and over again, but she couldn't find the entrance of the prison, so she had to go back home in the end.

In the next two days, Shi Fuxin came to visit twice more. After squatting for two midnights, she finally 'saw' a stone slab removed from the center of the dark tunnel network, and two men in black walked out of it, one of whom was Yue Wu.

The man in black sent Le Wu out of the underground tunnel, and turned back.

When Shi Fuxin saw it, she ignored the music and dance, but quietly followed the man in black, followed behind the man in black, took note of the prison entrance and how to open it, and then left quietly.

The next day, a maid from a rich family came to Yandaizi's mansion.

Cigarette looked at Xiaofang in front of him: "Who are you?"

Xiaofang said like an endorsement: "The girl said, as soon as I show up, you can find out who I am, so let me stop talking nonsense with you."

"Listen well, the following are the original words of my girl."

As he said that, he coughed twice, cleared his throat, and said like Shi Fuxin: "Who is the person you want to save? Write down the voice, appearance and appearance, so that you don't make a mistake. If you save the wrong person because of this, I'm not responsible."

When Yan Daizi heard it, he immediately understood who it was, and said excitedly, "Master, can you really help me rescue my adoptive father?"

Xiaofang looked at him displeased: "Don't question my girl's words."

Yan Daizi nodded quickly, and quickly asked someone to fetch a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote down the information of his adoptive father in detail.

Xiaofang carefully put away the paper that recorded the information of Yan Daizi's adoptive father, and then looked at him: "The girl has something to tell you."

Cigarette: "Say it."

Xiaofang: "My girl wants to find a supplier of cosmetic raw materials. You know a lot of people, so help me find them. Remember, you need to be fast."

As soon as these words came out, Yan Dazi's eyes widened.

Without him, because he already knew who the girl Xiaofang was talking about.

Just because I knew it, I was shocked.

The sixth girl of the Shi family, the boss with a beautiful face, is only thirteen years old this year

"Sister Xin, that girl is quite calm."

After waiting for a few days, Mrs. Shi saw that Shi Fuxin hadn't spoken to the house, and looked a little embarrassed when he met his old wife's eyes of "she knew it would be like this".

The old man Shi frowned: "Could it be that the girl really wants to close the shop with a confidant smile?"

Mrs. Shi: "I definitely don't want to close the store, but that girl is even more unwilling to be manipulated."

Old Master Shi: "We are her grandparents, making her bow her head, isn't it a trick of her?"

Mrs. Shi was silent for a while: "Leave this matter to me. I'll let the eldest daughter-in-law and the fifth daughter-in-law come over later."

The old man frowned: "Is there any need to be so anxious?"

Mrs. Shi didn't answer.

Is it useful?

She thinks it is really useful.

Based on what she knew about Sister Xin, it was not easy for the girl to tell them that she was in trouble. If she didn't take the initiative to help this time, they might not have a chance to help next time.

"Sister, why are you back? You don't have class in the afternoon?"

Shi Fuxin looked at Shi Fuyin who came to Lanyuelou in surprise.

"During this period of time, you always leave early and come back late, and there is no chance to talk to you. It just so happens that the master has something to do this afternoon, so I came back early. Come to see what you are up to?"

Shi Fuyin walked into Shi Fuxin's study room, stepped forward and looked at the books on the desk: "The branch plan of Hongyanxiao?" She looked at Shi Fuxin in surprise.

"Didn't you tell your grandmother the other day that Hongyanxiao might be closing the store? Why are you still planning to open a branch here?"

Shi Fuxin smiled: "That's all I said, do you really take it seriously? The girl laughed at me for so long preparing, how could it be possible to close the shop?"

Shi Fuyin quickly asked: "The matter with the raw material supplier has been settled?"

Shi Fuxin shook her head: "Not yet."

Shi Fuyinnahan: "The problem of raw material suppliers has not been solved, and now even the existing stores can hardly supply the goods, why do you still have the mind to open a branch?"

Shi Fuxin smiled and said: "The matter will definitely be resolved. I don't believe there are so many merchants in the capital, and they can all listen to Duke Qing's government."

Shi Fuyin's expression was condensed: "Is the Duke of Qing's mansion behind the scenes?"

Shi Fuxin nodded, seeing Shi Fuyin showing a sad face, she smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've already thought of a way to deal with them."

After Shi Fuyin heard this, she became even more worried: "That's the Duke's mansion, and Duke Qing is still the one in the emperor's heart."

Shi Fuxin smiled: "So what? Once it is revealed that they are the Yan Party, no one can save them." Seeing that Shi Fuyin was still frowning, she had to get up to comfort her.

"Sister, I'm not an impulsive person. If I really want to do it, I will choose a foolproof time."

"Okay, let's not talk about this, it is not a matter of a day or two to bring down a duke's mansion, let's talk about something happy."

Shi Fuyin somewhat admired her sister's ability to endure: "There are powerful enemies like Duke Qing's mansion outside, and store suppliers are worrying inside. After all this, how can you still have fun?"

Shi Fuxin laughed and said, "Why can't you have fun? It's not like the sky is falling."

Shi Fuyin also laughed, and after laughing, she looked at Shi Fuxin: "You told grandma and the others that the shop was in trouble, why didn't you just ask the mansion for help?"

Hearing this, Shi Fuxin smiled lightly: "If I take the initiative to speak, I will lose the initiative, so I don't want to put myself in a passive position."

Shi Fuyin nodded her sister's forehead: "You, I really don't know where you learned these things, do you still care about this as a family?"

Shi Fuxin looked at Shi Fuyin seriously: "Sister, don't underestimate the way family members get along. A place like home, if you get along well, it's a safe haven, if you get along well, it's a quagmire that binds you."

Shi Fuyin understood her sister's meaning, and also knew that her sister didn't want to be restrained by others, so she could only helplessly say: "Now grandparents don't want to take the initiative to help, what should you do?"

Shi Fuxin snorted and laughed: "They want to take this opportunity to tame me and let me be an obedient person headed by them in everything. I can fulfill their wish? Without the Shi family, I still can't live?"

Shi Fuyin: "Taming? Is it not enough?"

Shi Fuxin sneered: "Grandfather and grandmother deliberately delayed this matter, just to make fun of me. I haven't found a new supplier yet, and when I do, even if they compromise, I don't want it anymore. .”

"I'm only going to run the shop on Chang'an Avenue, the shop of Beauty's Smile. The rest of the shops will be managed by outsiders, and I'll only be in charge of supplying the goods."

"I've already given the opportunity to the Shi family, it's up to them whether they can grab it, don't say that I don't think about my family anymore."

Shi Fuyin moved her lips, not knowing what to say.

At this moment, Nanny An came over.

"Miss Six, the old lady invites you to visit Yixiangtang."

Hearing this, Shi Fuyin looked at Shi Fuxin with joy on her face: "It must be about the shop." Then, she leaned into Shi Fuxin's ear, "Grandmother and the others have already compromised, and you have to stop in moderation."

Shi Fuxin twitched her lips: "I'll go over and see what they have to say."
