The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 88 Ripples Before the Storm [Part [-]]

【Two in one as usual】

Turn around to the thirteenth of August.

As usual, after pouring out the drinks again, I came to drive to the shops by the way.

After the inventory was exhausted two days ago, he urged several shopkeepers to collect the accounts. All he had to do today was to collect the accounts and send them to the house for Wang Xifeng to look over.

This is a roundabout reminder to Wang Xifeng, don't forget to honor his promise.

Second, you can also take the opportunity to let out the wind and lure Dongfu to take the bait.

In line with the principle of first being far, then near, and then going home by the way, Laishun went to the outer city first, then went to the East Fourth Archway, and finally went to the shop in Shichahai.

That shopkeeper Li had already prepared the ledger and placed it together with two four-color gifts.

As the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, the shopkeepers of the previous two shops also prepared a small gift, but the things prepared by the shopkeeper Li were far beyond the 'conventional'.

Laishun knew that he was thanking him for helping to stop Xue Pan's unreasonable difficulties, so he smiled and said, "I was also afraid of breaking the rules, so I insisted on saying a few words to Young Master Biao, it's not worth your three thanks and five thanks. of."

Shopkeeper Li insisted on sending it, and Laishun had no choice but to be disrespectful in the end.

but……

"Why is this thing two copies?"

Laishun said: "The other is..."

"It's true."

Shopkeeper Li said with a wry smile, "I was originally from the same clan as the great grandmother of your house, and because I'm a distant relative from the five servers, I didn't dare to rashly talk about it, but..."

"Ah~"

When he said this, he sighed helplessly: "But now I see it clearly, if there is no one behind him, the shopkeeper is afraid of being uneasy, so he has to bite the bullet and go the way of the great grandma. ."

As he said that, he presented a gift list with both hands: "Everything that should be written is written in it, please send it to the manor for me."

"It turns out that you are also a rooted foot."

Laishun was joking and took the gift list from him. Seeing the mud seal on it, he put it directly into his sleeve and asked, "What's the difference between these two gifts? Don't let me get them. wrong."

"The gifts are all the same."

Shopkeeper Li handed over again: "It's troublesome for the manager."

"By the way, if there is any trouble, no trouble."

It was noon.

Laishun had a meal with shopkeeper Li in the store, and then ordered the store clerk to load the gift into the car, and Shi Shiran turned back to Changshengfang.

It is inconvenient to bring many gifts.

Laishun went home first and unloaded his share.

Then he went to Ermen Luding and entrusted Li Wan's share to the Xu family, and then he held the account book and asked to see Wang Xifeng.

Because it was an appointment long ago, Wang Xifeng was eagerly looking forward to it again, so not long after the news was delivered, Ping'er greeted him alone.

When crossing the passage between the two gates, looking at no one left or right, Ping'er whispered, "I don't care what ambush you set outside, but the more critical it is, the more careful you should be, but what are you doing? Do you have to stand up for others?"

Laishun guessed as soon as she heard it, she was talking about her own hardship against Xue Pan, so she said helplessly: "If this business is not related to Xijue, the ghost would be willing to take care of these things - don't worry, sister, the overall situation is now settled. Sure, I won't have any extras."

"It's good that you have your senses."

Ping'er nodded, walked silently for a while, and then suddenly warned: "This time you see her again, but don't dare to be so rash!"

"how come!"

Laishun Xin immediately called Zhuangtian Qu.

At that time, it was the first time he saw Wang Xifeng, and not long after he came to this world, he accidentally revealed Xingzang - after all, in modern society, it is normal to pay attention to beautiful women, and this old habit is for a while. Where was it changed?
But now that he is used to being in the same dust as Guang, how could he risk losing spying on Wang Xifeng again?
Even if you want to spy, you have to wait until you develop in the future and the Rongguo Mansion begins to decline again.

Speaking of...

How did Rongguo Mansion decline?
Laishun only vaguely remembered the sentence 'The white land is really clean', but he had no memory of how the Jia family fell.

When I got to the small hall, I saw that there were a lot more maids waiting to report things than the previous few times.

Laishun thought for a while, and knew that most of this was done intentionally by Wang Xifeng, in order to show off his achievements in 'family management' in front of the family.

Seeing through this section, after Laishun followed Ping'er in, he deliberately stopped at the door, picked up the data that seemed to lift his breath, and reported it loudly.

There was an uproar outside, and Wang Xifeng's face glowed inside, and he even called out a few "good" words, and then raised his voice and asked: "So, if every month the south rushes out 6 tires day and night, what will our family do?" Can you share [-] taels of silver every year?"

"Exactly."

Seeing that she has to brag, Laishun naturally has to play the role: "Based on the current situation, it will only be more, not less."

After a pause, he added: "When the business is completely spread out, the factory in the south must be expanded to a monthly production of more than [-] pieces before it can be sold in the shop."

In fact, when the sale is spread out, counterfeit products should appear. At that time, under the mutual bidding, the net profit of [-] tires may not be as high as the current [-] tires.

I am afraid that the goal of doubling the profit can only be achieved if the monthly sales are more than 20 units—but Xia Guo today may not be able to accommodate such a large shipment.

Of course, Laishun will naturally not announce the details of such a terrible sight to the public.

"Good, good, good!"

Wang Xifeng couldn't help but said hello three times in a row, and at the same time, it felt as if he had gone to a big mountain.

Now Rongguo Mansion's various incomes are about 14 taels converted into silver, but the annual expenditure exceeds 15 taels.

This hole, ranging from thousands to [-] to [-] yuan, is the heartbreak of Wang Xifeng every year. For this reason, she had to use monthly money to lend money, and even thought of taking up a prison lawsuit.

Now with this annual income of at least 6 taels, not only can the holes in the mansion be smoothed out, but there is even a balance of 5 to [-] taels!
The barriers of many years are naturally swept away.

Thinking of the good days to come, Wang Xifeng couldn't help but mutter: "Before the old lady's birthday did not dare to make a big deal, even on August [-]th, it was too tight. The hard days are over!"

Hearing the words 'hard days' come out of her mouth, Laishun couldn't help but want to roll his eyes. This extravagant life piled up with gold and silver mountains can actually be called 'hard days', aren't ordinary people in dire straits? In hell?
Laishun spit in this heart.

Wang Xifeng, however, became more and more pleasing to the eye the more he looked at him. Although Laiwang used it with ease, how could he be able to match this son who turned a stone into gold?
In the past, Shunsheng looked vicious and vulgar, but now he looks majestic and arrogant, no wonder that Jiao elected him to be a nobleman, this is what a general should look like!
Hey~
It would have been better if there wasn't such a thing.

Thinking of Xijue, Wang Xifeng's mood was discounted, and he was not in the mood to continue to brag. He encouraged Laishun a few words, and ordered him to hand over the ledger to Ping'er, so that the old woman sent him out of the back house.

Not to mention how complacent Wang Xifeng was while looking through the accounts.

However, Laishun left the back house and found it next to the Neiyi Gate, in the small flower hall of Lai Da.

Although the shop was under the direct control of Wang Xifeng and the general manager of Laishun, he still had to explain the general situation to the general manager Lai Da.

As for whether to let Da Lai review the specific accounts, that is something Wang Xifeng needs to consider.

In September of last year, when Laishun first crossed over, he didn't even have the qualifications to report to this small hall. Later, after he became a small manager, he was allowed to enter the door and speak.

Up to now, he came to this small hall to seek help and discuss the big issues, but he already had a serious seat.

Waiting for the servant to serve tea, Laishun gave a brief account of the store's income, and said, "Now the big car dealerships in the city also want to place orders for purchases, and I'm afraid it will be even busier than before in September. So I thought about sending a few more guys from the manor over there."

"That's easy to say."

Lai Da smiled genially and nodded: "Let's go back and let Lin Zhixiao draw up a list. Just pick a few honest and diligent ones."

Laishun called his name at the moment and said, "It's okay for the next one. I heard that Wu Gui from the back kitchen was bought by the chief executive himself. Your vision is naturally not bad - why don't you order him first, if he is really competent, You can entrust him with a little stewardship to help restrain those half-eldest boys in the store."

When Lai Da heard him mention Wu Gui, his heart froze immediately.

If there is anything special about Wu Gui, one is his feisty mother-in-law, and the other is Qingwen, who is deeply loved by Baoyu.

The former is ignored.

Laishun had sharpened his head and moved closer to Baoyu at the beginning, but now that he has gained the momentum, he suddenly pulls out Qingwen's brother, do you want to bring up old things again?
This kid really can't stay!

Lai Da raised the villain Flag in his heart, and smiled calmly: "Why did you choose him? I asked someone to buy him back, because he was asked by his sister. If it doesn't work, don't do it. Blame it on me."

"how come."

Laishun gave a haha, chatted with Lai Da for a few more words, and then said goodbye and left.

After he left, Da Lai was silent for a long time, and then he called his trusted servant in, and ordered him to go to Ningguo Mansion to tell Lai Sheng: The lame donkey in our stable doesn't dare to dawdle like you!

…………

It's approaching evening.

Li Wan returned to his small widow's courtyard from outside. Seeing the four-color gifts on the table, he couldn't help but wonder, "Who sent this?"

The left-behind little maid, Chao Dou'er, hurriedly replied, "Aunt Lai Wang asked someone to send it in. Say yes, say yes..."

She hesitated for a while, but couldn't remember what the people who came had explained, so she hurriedly pointed to the invitation and said, "It's all written clearly in it!"

"Did you bring it home?"

Li Wan picked up the gift list, stared at the seal on it and muttered, "It's rare that they still remember someone like me."

The eldest maid next to him, Su Yun, heard that she came to send it to her house, and her eyes lit up at the moment, she hurriedly put out the fried beans, and encouraged her with anticipation: "This Laijia is gaining momentum in the house now, and now it is specially prepared. The gift is sent, it can be seen that he knows the honor and inferiority, understands the etiquette, why not grandma..."

"Give her this gift tomorrow and return it."

But Li Wan didn't wait for her to finish, she put the gift list back on the table, and said indifferently: "His family came to burn my cold stove, I'm afraid there must be some plans - as the so-called 'accept the cause, bear the effect' ', I'm just asking Laner to make progress now, so I don't care about so many things."

That being said, there was still some unwillingness and loneliness on the face of Guazi, who had always been calm.

…………

at the same time.

Lai Sheng, who was called a lame donkey by Da Lai, finally found his way to the Rongguo Mansion.

Seeing that his brother was still dealing with business affairs in the flower hall, he slapped the transcript in front of Da Lai, and complained half-truly, "I have a lot of things on my side, but it's as if you were urging you to die. ."

But Lai Da ignored him, found a browned booklet under the paperweight, opened it and compared it with the note.

"Sure enough!"

After a long while, he let out a long sigh.

"What really happened?"

Lai Sheng is still in the fog, seeing that his brother is still selling out, he can't help asking: "What's the point of making this cloud and fog cover in front of me, what's the matter, big brother, hurry up and say it clearly!"

"See for yourself."

Da Lai pushed the old booklet and note in front of him: "The two of them got out on the same day."

Lai Sheng already knew when Jiao Da left his nationality, so he only looked down at the scorched yellow booklet, but saw that it recorded a servant named Yun in the Rongguo Mansion who left his nationality 57 years ago.

This day is indeed the same day as Jiao Da.

But Lai Sheng still didn't understand why, so he asked curiously, "What does this mean?"

"You are young and most likely don't remember."

Da Lai pointed to the old booklet and said, "Before my grandfather passed away, he said that the most trusted person in this mansion is the Yun family, because he was later recommended by the prince to be an official. out of our house."

"Being an official?"

Hearing this, Lai Sheng also subconsciously looked at the old booklet.

"That's right!"

Lai Dao: "When Lord Sejong ascended the throne, this steward Yun won the hereditary title of five-rank Jingying Qianhu and Qiduwei due to the recommendation of the old prince. His grandson, Yun Guang, has already been appointed to Chang'an Prefecture as a military governor!"

Having said that, he looked at Lai Sheng: "Have you heard similar rumors in Ningguo Mansion?"

Lai Sheng vaguely realized something, swallowed hard, shook his head and said, "This, this has never happened."

Lai Da asked again, "However, Duke Ning was the eldest brother and was above Duke Rong at that time. Since Duke Rong can recommend a slave to an official, is Duke Ning not qualified?"

"This……"

Lai Sheng had vaguely guessed [-]-[-]%, but he was a little unbelievable for a while.

Da Lai continued to ask: "If Duke Ning wanted to recommend a servant to be an official at that time, do you think he would recommend that one?"

"Jiao, Jiao Da?!"

Lai Sheng finally blurted out the name of 'Jiao Da' and lost his voice: "Jiao Da actually has an official position?!"

"Officials are mostly absent."

But Lai Da shook his head and said, "If he had an official position, he wouldn't have been hiding in the Ningguo Mansion for a lifetime without anyone finding out - he should have shied away from his official position, leaving only the hereditary title."

After a pause, he added: "At that time, Jiao Da suddenly swore that he would stay in Ning Guofu for the rest of his life, mostly because of this."

"Hereditary title?!"

Lai Sheng finally understood the point, and shouted in a shrill voice, "Laishun, Laishun! Then Laishun recognizes Jiao Da as his godfather, and actually wants to become a nobleman?!"

As he said that, he jumped three feet high and complained repeatedly: "Big brother, since you know the old affairs of the Yun family, why didn't you think about it?! Now that more than half a year has passed, I am afraid that the title has not fallen to this brat too early. On the head?!"

"impossible!"

Lai Da categorically denied: "When the eldest master attacked the nobility, I ran with my father. In order to prevent someone from stealing the nobility, the court has specially set up a method of review. If he wants to attack the nobility, it is impossible not to disturb our house inside."

After a pause, he added: "Unless, he first takes off his slave registration and then transfers his household registration elsewhere."

"Can't make sure he has already done it!"

Lai Sheng swarmed the hall like ants in a hot pot, and said eagerly: "It's been more than half a year, what can't be done? I..."

"What are you panicking about!"

Lai Da scolded him and said, "I have asked someone to go to Daxing County today to ask him. His slave registration is still there, and his household registration has not been moved out of Changshengfang."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but ask back: "You said I should have thought about this long ago, but who would have imagined that someone would leave the Kangzhuang Avenue and not go, but want to be a slave and a servant for the rest of their lives?!"

Lai Shengdeng was speechless.

If it weren't for the evidence in front of him, he would never have believed that someone was willing to give up his fifth-rank official position and stay in the Ningguo Mansion as a domestic servant for decades.

After a long while, he suddenly grabbed the old brochures and notes on the table, and said in a hurry: "I'll go back and report this to the master - this good thing has not been brought to my turn. nor!"

"Remember not to push yourself forward!"

Dalai Lai hurriedly warned: "The father and son are the second grandmother's confidant after all, and they are also dispatched by the second wife. It depends on the master to beat the dog - you can let Uncle Zhen make trouble."

"I can save it!"

Lai Sheng responded without turning his head, and flew away as if flying.

　Thanks to the book friends: Puff Little Pine Nuts, Meeting Fielding, Dante Flying, Resting Hehehe—for the reward.
