Poor Family

Entering the twelfth lunar month, even if it is the end of the year, it is time to start preparing for the New Year.

This time of year is also the most frequent stage for families and provinces to invite friends to visit relatives.

This year's capital city is a little quiet, all the honorable families have stopped all kinds of banquets and gatherings, and they rarely go out for a walk at home.

There is no way, a state government will be gone if it says nothing, it will always make people feel a little bit alarmed.

"Duke Qing's mansion fell too fast!"

"The Special Inspection Division and the Special Investigation Division jointly supervise the handling, can you not hurry up?"

"The main reason is that the Yan Party has always been the Emperor's supporter."

"I heard that the leader of the Yan Party is Chu Qinghuan, the granddaughter of the Prince Regent. Now that Chu Qinghuan is imprisoned in the death cell of the Clan Mansion, there is no possibility of seeing the light of day again. With the leader gone, the Yan Party should disperse on its own."

"Hurry up and leave. How many times has the imperial court been tossing about the Yan Party, and every time it has made everyone frightened. I don't want to hear the word Yan Party again in the future."

In Pingguo's mansion, looking at Mrs. Pingguo and Cao Yunting happily discussing how to arrange the year, Pingguo's eyes are very complicated.

Qing Huan was arrested and Yuan Lu was beheaded

Although he had expected this result, when it happened, he still couldn't remain indifferent.

Especially thinking of Luo Yuanlu, who was replaced by him at birth, Duke Ping fell into deep self-blame.

When the Luo family beheaded, he didn't dare to go see it. He personally sent his son to the Luo family and sent him to the guillotine. He had no face to see him.

Fortunately, Yun Ting was safe and sound.

Ping Guogong can only suppress all kinds of guilt and self-blame in his heart, looking at his wife and his son, he only hopes that they can live in peace and happiness forever.

The gates of the Wuchang Uncle's Mansion are also closed. Although the outings have decreased, the movement between each courtyard and each room has increased.

With the opening of the branches of the girls of the Shi family, Mrs. Shi, Mrs. Fifth, and Mrs. Shi Qi, who never took the initiative to chat with Jin Yue'e in the past, would visit Yiguiyuan almost every day.

"At the end of every year, your eldest aunt is the busiest time. I didn't expect her to come and chat with me every day." After sending off Mrs. Shi with a smile, Jin Yue'e sorted out the clothes and jewelry that Mrs. Shi sent, while talking with the two daughter talking.

After Shi Fuxin heard this, she immediately smiled: "Mother, haven't you noticed that Uncle and the others have become fond of talking to Dad now. Even Big Brother and the others have met us more often."

The uncle's mansion is neither big nor small. If there is nothing wrong, it is not very common for people to live in even one mansion.

Jin Yue'e paused in her hands: "Don't tell me, it's really like this." She said with a smile, "Now the relationship between our family and the mansion is becoming more and more harmonious."

Hearing this, Shi Fuxin and Shi Fuyin immediately looked at each other, and then smiled at each other.

Shi Fuxin muttered, "Money touches people's hearts."

When Jin Yue'e heard this, she glanced at her little daughter, and said angrily, "Money is second, and the most important thing is to deepen everyone's relationship."

Shi Fuxin looked at Jin Yue'e from the outside: "Mother, do you think they can deepen their relationship with us if we don't bring benefits to the mansion first?"

Jin Yue'e was stopped by the question, and stared at Shi Fuxin: "Can't you be more confused?"

Shi Fuxin smiled: "Aren't I afraid that my mother won't be able to bear the sugar-coated bullets from my aunt and the others?"

Jin Yue'e snorted and said, "Your mother, I'm so stupid. I can't tell the north from the south after being coaxed by a few words?"

"I said something wrong, my mother is the smartest." Shi Fuxin stepped forward to apologize with a cup of hot tea.

Shi Fuyin looked at her younger sister coaxing her mother with a smile, and when Shi Fuxin sat back down again, she said: "I didn't expect the reaction of the eldest aunt and the others this time. Before when Brother and Jiulang entered the palace as errands, they were never so enthusiastic."

Shi Fuxin said: "Brother and Jiulang serve as errands in the palace, it can add luster to the uncle's mansion, but this kind of benefit belongs to the whole uncle's mansion, what cares most is the grandparents who are in charge of the family, whether other people in the mansion can get real benefits from it." The benefits are unknown."

"It's different to open a branch of Hongyanxiao. The real benefits directly fall on the individual."

"Although each branch store is nominally owned by the sisters in the family, the four sisters have no money, no money, and no manpower. If they want to open the store, they must rely on the support of the family."

"Auntie and the others are so smart. Sister Lin is fine with a few prostitutes. Concubines like the fourth sister certainly cannot control the store alone."

"That is to say, the money earned by the four sisters and their branch stores, the eldest aunt and the others also have a share. In this way, can they not care?"

Jin Yue'e looked at the young daughter who spoke so well, and disagreed: "Your aunt and the others are not short of money."

Shi Fuxin smiled and said: "Mother, who would think that there is too much money? Besides, the benefits that a confidante brings to the manor are not only about earning money."

Jin Yue'e: "Then what else can I do?"

Shi Fuyin replied with a smile: "You can still accumulate contacts."

Shi Fuxin nodded with a smile: "My sister still understands me."

Seeing Jin Yuee's puzzled expression, Shi Fuyin explained with a smile: "Mother, the products sold by Hongyanxiao have grades."

Jin Yue'e nodded: "I know this. I went to Hongyanxiao and turned around. I know that the special products you sell can treat specific skin problems."

"Yipin's products have remarkable effects, but the price is high, and only dignitaries can afford them."

"Second product, the effect is good, the price is relatively low, and ordinary people can afford it."

"Third-grade products are the kind of goods that are about to deteriorate and must be used up immediately, and need to be sold at a reduced price."

Shi Fuyin nodded, and continued: "Mother, the output of special products and first-grade products with good effects is not very high, but in the capital, everyone's demand for special products and first-grade products is the greatest."

"And then there's often a shortage of supply."

With such an explanation, Jin Yue'e understood.

There are many people who buy, and who to sell to, the person who runs the shop has the final say.

Jin Yue'e looked at her little daughter with some sighs. The goods sold in Hongyanxiao's branch were all distributed by Sister Xin. If people in the house wanted to get more special and first-class goods, they had to establish a good relationship with their family.

Thinking about how attentive the people in the mansion have been to their family recently, Jin Yue'e sighed: "No wonder everyone wants to be in power."

It's just selling some things like rouge and gouache, which can change people's attitudes, let alone other things.

After that, the mother and daughter were preparing to choose some materials to make new clothes, when the maid came to report, when Mrs. Fifth came.

"Mother, Fifth Aunt is too good at talking, my sister and I will retire first."

Jin Yue'e didn't stop it, even she herself didn't really want to talk to Mrs. Shi Wu.

Without him, Mrs. Shi Wu was born in a businessman's family, her mouth was sloppy, and she talked endlessly, and the people around her couldn't get in her mouth.

Shi Fuxin and Shi Fuyin slipped out of the back door, out of Yigui Courtyard, the two sisters walked side by side towards Lanyue Tower.

On the way, Shi Fuyin said to Shi Fuxin: "You still have to think about the supply of goods in the branch store. We are all one family. We give this and don't give that. There is more of that, and less of this. It's been a long time. , I’m afraid there will be suspicion.”

Shi Fuxin smiled: "Sister, don't worry, I already have a way to deal with it."

The special products are made in the direction of luxury goods; the first products are high-end products; the second products are mass products; the third products are discounted products.

Only scarce things are the most attractive. Of course, luxury goods cannot be obtained by everyone. Even high-end products, she should try her best to keep the output down.

"Sister, if you want to sell special products and first-class products in various branches in the future, the sales must meet certain conditions to get the corresponding share, and you can't violate the rules set by the head office. supply."

Shi Fuyin nodded: "That's a good idea. If you follow the rules, you'll save a lot of trouble."

When approaching Lanyue Tower, Shi Fuyin suddenly asked: "Yes, that Luo Qiyun came looking for you before, why did you ask Xiaofang to tell her to leave?"

"She has been able to collect evidence from Chu Qinghuan for more than ten years, which shows that she has great perseverance and ability."

"Didn't you always say that you don't have enough manpower? This time someone took the initiative to come here, why don't you want it?"

Shi Fuxin: "There is Du Danyan behind Luo Qiyun. My intuition tells me that Du Danyan is not simple. I don't want to get too involved with her."

"Of course, Luo Qiyun is indeed a capable person. Don't be too sorry. I asked Xiaofang to tell her that a batch of skin care products will be wholesaled to her every month, and let her sell them in Xinglefang."

"A place like Xinglefang can get a lot of information. I asked her to keep an eye on it. Maybe she can provide us with some useful information in the future."

Seeing that Shi Fuxin was thinking carefully, Shi Fuyin didn't ask any more questions, just when she was about to enter Lanyue Tower with Shi Fuxin, An Ran hurried over.

Seeing her like this, the two sisters knew what was going on in the mansion.

"Third Miss, Sixth Miss, Master Zhengkun's family is here."

Shi Fuxin raised her eyebrows: "Here we are, why, grandma asked us to meet people?"

An Ran shook her head: "As soon as Master Zhengkun came, he knelt down to the old lady, and the old lady called out, but they didn't get up. The old lady has already gone to Yixiang Hall, and the servants looked at it, as if something serious happened .”

Both Shi Fuyin and Shi Fuxin looked surprised.

"Could it be that you caused trouble outside and begged to come to the mansion?"

Although Shi Fuxin wanted to know what Shi Zhengkun's family was talking about when they came to the mansion, but she didn't want to go to Yixiang Hall, so she asked An Ran to inquire.

"Sister Xin, what do you think will happen to the family this time?"

"Whatever, as long as it doesn't involve our family."

Shi Fuxin was still thinking too naively.

In this world, there are some things that some people cannot avoid.

Half an hour later, An Ran came back after inquiring about the news.

"What did you say? Say it again!"

Hearing the words was too unexpected, Shi Fuxin and Shi Fuyin both stood up from their chairs, looking at An Ran who came back from inquiring about the news with a face full of shock.

An Ran swallowed her saliva: "Master Zhengkun said that he can't be a son in vain, and he can't ignore his biological parents who are suffering far away in the northwest border. He has to take on the responsibility of being a son and take the Li family to take care of him. "

After making sure they heard it right, Shi Fuxin and Shi Fuyin sat back silently.

After a moment of silence, Shi Fuxin broke the silence first: "So, the Li family has already entered Beijing?"

An Ran nodded: "Master Zhengkun bought a yard in the outer city, and he has settled the Li family."

Shi Fuyin frowned and said: "Shi Zhengkun cut it first and then played it. The Li family members have all gone to Beijing, so they came to talk to the mansion." After a pause, "Grandfather and grandma are probably going to be sad."

Shi Fuxin was pulling the handkerchief alternately, her face was stinky, she didn't want to see the Li family's vampires at all.

"Is Shi Zhengkun trying to disgust us on purpose?"

Saying that, Shi Fuxin looked up at An Ran: "What did grandparents say?"

An Ran: "The old man heard that Master Zhengkun had brought the Li family into Beijing, so he got up and left without saying a word; the old lady forced a smile and said, Master Zhengkun did the right thing, so she also returned home room."

"Right now, Master Zhengkun and Mrs. Zeng are still kneeling in Yixiang Hall, and the Elder Master and Madam are accompanying them."

Shi Fuyin didn't ask much about the situation in Yixiangtang, but looked at the sky: "Father, are they coming back from business soon?"

Shi Fuxin looked over, got up quickly, and went to Yigui Courtyard with Shi Fuyin.

When the two sisters arrived, Shi Zhenghe had already returned, and also heard about Shi Zhengkun taking the Li family to Beijing.

Seeing Shi Zhenghe with a gloomy face, Shi Fuxin and Shi Fuyin walked over: "Father, are you alright?"

Shi Zhenghe didn't speak, and Jin Yue'e who was sitting by the side sighed: "It's not easy to have a harmonious relationship with the mansion. Seeing that life is getting better and better, why is there another disturbance?"

Shi Fuxin sat next to Shi Zhenghe: "Father, the Li family came to Beijing as soon as they came to Beijing. Anyway, we have already broken off their relationship. They live their lives, and we live ours."

Said emphatically and snorted, "They better not mess with us, or else"

When Jin Yue'e saw Zhenghe, she was silent all the time, and said to the two daughters: "Go and do your own work, and let your father be quiet."

After the two daughters had left, Shi Zhenghe bent over and hugged his head and said in a muffled voice, "I thought I got rid of that family, but I didn't expect them to appear again."

Jin Yue'e hurriedly stepped forward to hold Shi Zhenghe's hand: "Sister Xin is right, we have no relationship with the Li family, and they can't hurt our family anymore."

Shi Zhenghe shook his head: "The capital city is no better than the border gate. People here can kill with their mouths."

After all, the Li family raised him, and this alone is enough for outsiders to criticize him.

"My reputation doesn't matter, but four children."

When it comes to children, Jin Yue'e is a little furious, and said ruthlessly: "If the Li family dares to hurt the four of them, I will fight them hard!"

Shi Zhengkun took Mrs. Zeng to kneel in the Yixiang Hall all night, and at dawn the next day, Master Shi and Mrs. Shi talked about everything, and then got up and left.

As soon as they left, Mother An came to Yiguiyuan, ready to call Shi Zhenghe and Jin Yue'e to Yixiangtang.

Unfortunately, she was not able to enter the house.

Shi Dingxuan stood at the door of the upper room, blocking Nanny An's way.

"Mother An, grandpa and grandma called us over. We know what it is. Please go back and tell grandpa and grandma that the Li family has entered Beijing. It is absolutely impossible for us to continue to be friendly with Shi Zhengkun's family."

"It's best for us not to have any contact with them. If they dare to hurt my family, I will definitely not be polite."

"Okay, I'm done talking, you go back and report back."

Looking at Shi Dingxuan who had a kind face but a sharp and unquestionable words, Nanny An was a little dazed.

Fifth Master is usually very gentle and kind. Even if he knows his martial arts is strong, the people in the house are not very afraid of him.

But today, facing fifth master, she felt a strong oppression coming to her face.
