Peach Blossom at the Bottom of the Fan

Chapter 99

"Are you serious?" Li Chongyang asked in surprise, and when Xue Wanhua looked over, he lowered his head slowly, "Young master, are you serious?"

"The word 'loyalty' is the most important thing in the market. Since I, Xue Wanhua, dare to say it, I mean it." Xue Wanhua turned around and saw that Xue Wanying was just staring at Gu Sixiao, not taking her words to heart at all. , can't help being a little disappointed.

Seeing Gu Sixiao's thoughtful expression again, Xue Wanhua's expression softened a bit, "Hua'er, what do you say?"

"Sister, I'm afraid—it's not good!" After a moment of hesitation, Gu Sixiao whispered.

Although she hadn't learned how to do business from her brother before, she knew that every month, shopkeepers from all over the Gu family would go to Songjiang to reconcile the accounts.People who don't have enough weight can't participate in this kind of monthly gathering, not to mention that she is still an outsider at all.

Hearing what she said, Xue Wanhua laughed instead, "It seems that Hua'er knows what accounting is."

Not only does she know what accounting is, but she also knows how important it is. Unlike Wanying, she probably doesn't think about anything else in her life except eating, drinking and dressing.

"Hua'er, you don't have to worry about this. The shopkeepers were not happy when I attended the accounts with Daddy for the first time, but now, it's me who presides over the accounts every month. Our Xue family is no better than Elsewhere, it is only natural for women to do business."

She obviously didn't mean that...

Gu Sixiao opened her mouth, but swallowed back the words that came to her lips.

Does Xue Wanhua really regard her as a younger sister?Never suspected her at all?

Although I can't confirm it, there is still a warm current in my heart.

Li Chongyang walked behind Xue Wanying and coughed heavily, Xue Wanying immediately called out: "Sister, do you really think that Gu Hua'er is sure to win? Hmph, I don't believe it, she is even better than me! Sister, you are ready!" Well, it must be me who will go to settle accounts with you."

Smiling slightly, Xue Wanhua only said: "So, it's up to you two to fight it out."

Gu Sixiao smiled and didn't respond, even when the guest came in, she didn't greet her immediately like Xue Wanying.

She walked fast, but only took two steps towards her, but Xue Wanying stopped again.She curled her lips, looked at the woman who came in with a small vegetable basket, and frowned, "Really, everyone goes in without even looking at where it is?"

Although she spoke in a low voice, Xue Wanhua still heard it and frowned. Before she could speak, a guy at the side rushed forward and greeted the woman courteously.

"Sister-in-law, what do you want, you can tell me, I will help you think about it..."

Originally because of Xue Wanying's words, the restrained woman backed away, but because of the man's words, she stopped in her tracks and said in a shy voice, "My, my daughter is getting married next month, I want to buy a Give her a silver bracelet as a dowry..."

"Silver bracelets, there are some, I don't know what style my sister-in-law wants? Is it thin and twisted or thick and all silver? Let's look at it here..."

The man led the woman to Duobaoge, but Xue Wanying curled her lips, "Such customers have lowered the reputation of Xueji Yinlou."

"Xue Wanying!" She was so angry, Xue Wanhua didn't give her any face, and just called her by her name, "If you are still like this! I don't think there is any need to compare, just go home."

"What's wrong with me?" Xue Wanying murmured, still afraid of this sister, and hid behind Li Chongyang.

Li Chongyang smiled, pushed Xue Wanying and said: "Yingying, you should talk to the young master carefully, don't mess around anymore! The so-called harmony makes money, whoever comes is a customer, how can there be any reason to push customers away? Even if she only buys a piece of grass , that is also a customer..."

"Does our Xueji have grass to sell?"

Xue Wanying still muttered, but seeing Xue Wanhua's ugly face, she swallowed it back.

"No matter which one it is, if you drive customers out like this again, you will deduct a tael of silver. If you lose the opportunity, don't blame me for being merciless. No matter which store you put in, such a guy will be kicked out."

Pouting her lips, Xue Wanying turned around and said in a low voice, "What's the point of deducting a tael of silver? As long as I make a deal, it must be a big deal with hundreds of thousands..."

These words were so arrogant that even Xue Wanhua couldn't help laughing.

Gu Sixiao was listening, also smiling slightly, and walked forward with Xue Wanying when she saw a customer coming in again.

This time, the customers who came in were more luscious than the sister-in-law just now. The fat lady was wearing a silk shirt, and there was a little girl behind her, but the hairpin on her head was old. It had long been dim, and even the beads on a silver comb inlaid with flowers had turned yellow.

Xue Wanying has always dressed in mane, and her family is in this line of business, so she can tell it at a glance, and Gu Sixiao is also rich and well-versed, and is no stranger to jewelry. When the two of them glanced at each other, they could already see that this lady is just a woman. Well-to-do family.

Xue Wanying, who was going to do big business, was unhappy in her heart at first, but because Xue Wanhua had only mentioned her just now, she approached her patiently and said, "Ma'am, what do you want to buy?"

Being greeted suddenly, the fat woman seemed startled, looked up at Xue Wanying, but remained silent for a long time.

On the contrary, the little girl was clever, "Little lady, did you recognize the wrong person? Our lady doesn't seem to know you!"

"I don't know Auntie either..." After saying this, Xue Wanying hurriedly covered her mouth, "I mean what Auntie wants to buy, I will help you choose!"

At this moment, the fat woman had regained her composure. She pawed the girl, looked at Xue Wanying, and rolled her eyes, "Is this little lady crazy? Even if you are a rich and powerful little lady, you can't meet anyone casually." Just call me Auntie! Although I am a woman, I am not that old, am I? What——unlucky!"

After finishing speaking, he pulled the little girl and was about to leave.

Xue Wanying opened her mouth, pointed at the fat woman, and was about to yell, but she just turned her eyes, saw Xue Wanhua, who was sinking like water, and immediately swallowed it back.

After catching up to two steps, she was still thinking about how to pull him back, but Gu Sixiao had already met the fat woman on the other end.

First she gave a salute with a smile, Gu Sixiao said softly: "Please be safe..."

In a word, let the fat woman smile first, this "ruren" is a respectful title, usually the wives and mothers of seventh-rank officials can be called "ruren", this is the first time this fat woman has been called so.

"Does Ruren want to see gold and silver jewelry? Our silver building has the latest and best jewelry in Jinan, and the little girl can introduce one or two to Ruren."

"Okay, okay," the fat woman followed Gu Sixiao and walked inside.

Looking at the backs of the two, Xue Wanying couldn't help laughing, "You really know how to shoot flatterers, you really are a girl..." When she met the eyes of Xue Wanhua who was sitting on a chair, she immediately calmed down, turned around, Just pretended not to see Xue Wanhua's reproachful eyes.

"Really, what does it matter to me? It's the fat woman who sees me young, beautiful, luxurious and dignified, so she feels ashamed and dares not let me say hello - I see, just like her, she can't buy anything..."

It really made Xue Wanying right. Gu Sixiao greeted the fat woman and talked for a quarter of an hour. She pushed all kinds of jewelry, and the woman said yes to everything, but if it is really decided No matter which one you choose, you keep shaking your head, either you don't like it here, or you don't like it there.

Not to mention Gu Sixiao, even the guy who helped Gu Sixiao next to him could tell that this woman didn't come to buy things at all, but just strolled around when she was free.

Seeing that Gu Sixiao's business couldn't be done, Xue Wanying could only laugh out loud, if it wasn't for the fact that there was Xue Wanhua watching her, it would be useless to point at Gu Sixiao and laugh at her.

Gu Sixiao also felt frustrated. After talking for so long, was it really a waste of words?
Although there was still a smile on her face, her heart was bitter. When she turned her eyes, she suddenly saw the golden hairpin on the woman's head, her eyes lit up, and she had an idea at that moment.

"Ruren, the gold hairpin on your head is really beautiful, it seems that it is also the handicraft of our Xue Ji!"

The fat woman smiled and nodded immediately, "No, this is the dowry from my natal family when I got married. Ten years have passed in a blink of an eye. Sigh, I just miss the old days. Where did I buy things? I like to visit often…”

Go see it often!

Xue Wanying curled her lips at the other end, but Gu Sixiao still smiled gently.

"This style is still good-looking, but the color of this goldware has been dimmed for a long time, and it doesn't look so bright." It seemed that Gu Sixiao said it unintentionally, but the next sentence said: "But you don't have to worry,"

Looking at the woman who raised her hand to caress the golden hairpin, Gu Sixiao said lightly: "Our Yinlou can help Madam melt down the old jewelry and make new jewelry. This way, at most it will only cost a wage, not much money , it can make the child a new look."

"Really?" The fat woman's eyes lit up, "Is it really possible? Well, it will take a long time to melt the old jewelry and replace it with a new one? Look, can I pick out the jewelry and replace my old jewelry with a new one?" What about the discount?"

Is this a new one?
Gu Sixiao's face was not obvious, and her tone was also indifferent, "In this way... how much is the old jewelry worth, we have to ask our master in the silver building to see it before ordering it."

"Okay, okay, it's up to you..." The fat woman took off the jewelry by herself without the help of the little girl, stuffed it in Gu Sixiao's hand, turned around and went to pick out the jewelry.

Turning around, she happened to meet Xue Wanhua's eyes, her heart tightened, and she was relieved when she saw Xue Wanhua smile.

Her actions just now can be regarded as self-assessment. If the shopkeeper is unhappy, she will not be able to escape a lesson.

At least, shopkeeper Wu doesn't look very good at her now.

Fortunately, Xue Wanhua didn't say anything, and only asked someone to recruit a master worker from the backyard to test the gold color first, then weigh the weight, and calculate the depreciation.

The price was estimated on this side, and the fat woman on the other side also chose the jewelry, and turned around happily.

Gu Sixiao didn't know much about the price, so it was better calculated by another guy. After the discount, the fat lady only needs to pay another two or five taels of silver.

The gold hairpin she chose would usually be sold for ten taels of silver, but now, she bought it for only two taels and five taels of silver. Twisted his waist and left, before leaving, he did not forget to say hello to Gu Sixiao.
