The concubine of the famous family is very evil.

Chapter 160

The carriage soon arrived at the east of the city, the prince knew that they would come, so he sent people to guard outside the shop early in the morning, and there were many guards standing on both sides, so Jinniang and Leng Huating could only surround them as soon as they came. They are separated from the crowd, however, this is a downtown area, it is indeed full of people coming and going, it is very lively, no matter how tightly surrounded, there is still that sharp-eyed person who starts to go crazy after seeing Leng Huating at first sight, For a while, it was the same as when Jinniang entered the door last time, gasping, tsk-tsk compliments, and teasing laughter began one after another. Jinniang was annoyed when she heard it, and couldn't help looking at Leng Huating's face worriedly.

Fortunately, he was very calm this time, and he didn't show too much impatience. He couldn't help but feel relieved, and hoped that he would no longer reject contact with the crowd.A big man always has to walk up to others step by step in order to have a chance of success.

I didn't see the third master, but a fat middle-aged man in his 50s and [-]s was standing in front of the shop door to greet him. When he saw Leng Huating coming, he hurried up and gave Leng Huating a hand. After calling a thousand children, he said: "Second young master, this old slave has been waiting for a long time, hey, hasn't the son come?" As he said that, he looked at the carriage and saw no one followed, so he smiled and said: "Yesterday Hearing the prince's instructions, the son said that the son and the second young master and the second young mistress came together. Since the elder son did not come, the second young master and the old slave should go into the shop. ears, bumped into the two masters."

"Are you the shopkeeper of this shop?" Jinniang saw that the middle-aged man was well dressed, and he always called himself a slave. It seemed that he must be the steward sent by the palace itself.

"The slave is rich and honored, and he is the shopkeeper of this shop." The middle-aged man replied with a smile, but his eyes were dimmed when he spoke, and he turned his head away as if he was talking to himself: "I'm just afraid that I won't be there tomorrow." I'm done with this job, alas! It's good to go home and hold my grandson."

Jinniang wanted to laugh when she heard that, the third master really wanted to change the shopkeeper, but she didn't know why he was still here, instead of someone brought by the third master himself to take care of it?
The shop is indeed very big. It is located in the most prosperous part of the capital, covering an area of ​​several hundred square meters. The shelves are filled with various kinds of cloth, mostly of medium and low quality. This is the first time for Jinniang to enter a shop of this era. The antique wooden The shelves, the crimson lacquer surface was polished brightly, the shop was clean and tidy, and the counter was not high, and bundles of fabrics of various colors were neatly arranged on the countertop. Jinniang looked over slowly and touched it with her hands. The texture of the cloth is mostly fine cotton, and some are mixed with silk to make it softer and smoother. There are also printed ones and dark background stripes. However, most of them are solid colors. The printing and dyeing of this era is not very advanced. But the embroidery skills are very good. Many people bought pure-color cloth and embroidered various patterns on their own to make it look better.

There are also fabrics that are woven with silver thread, and the price will be several times more expensive, but there are not many gold thread, only a few pieces. According to the shopkeeper, it is for some wealthy customers to buy, but it is not The main product is just to show that the store has a complete range of goods, so as to attract more customers.

Jin Niang looked at the shopkeeper named Fugui's prices, textures, which status customers like to buy, etc., of various fabrics, and so on. No wonder the second master and the eldest son Leng Huatang both opposed the third master to change the shopkeeper, so he asked with a smile: "Shopkeeper, how many years have you worked in this shop?"

Seeing that the second young lady finally asked him this question, the shopkeeper's eyes lit up, as if he had found an organization, tears began to well up in his eyes, and he said excitedly: "Back to the second young lady, the old slave has been working in this shop for 20 years. Oh, I started from a young boy, and finally managed to get to this position. After several masters, the prince finally took over, and the shop became more and more prosperous, but the third master came, and wanted to let the old slave go home Rong Yang, the old slave is working hard, I really can't bear it, I can't bear it, a shelf here, a small signboard, a small ornament, every pile, all have the painstaking efforts of the old slave, the old slave can't let it go .” As he spoke, he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with trembling hands.

Jinniang was also moved when she heard it. In her previous life, her father was such an old worker. He worked in the factory all his life. Because of illness, he had to retire early. At that time, his father was at home all day, as if he had lost his soul. Yes, I always go around the factory when I have nothing to do, look at my old colleagues, look at the place where I used to work, that is, the equipment that has been with him for decades, and he also goes back from time to time to touch and wipe it. Therefore, she understands Fugui's feelings very well. However, the third master is a muddleheaded person who is used to doing whatever he wants. The more loyal the old man is to the shop, the more he will dislike the third master's demeanor. Such a person, It is definitely not in the eyes of the third master.

"Uncle Fugui, you are a hero in this shop." Jin Niang said sincerely.

"Second Young Mistress... Thank you, but, please don't call me that old slave, you are really a Zhesha old slave." The phrase Uncle Fugui moved Fugui to tears, and he was even more gratified by the word "hero". After hearing what the master said, even if he left the shop, it was worth it.

Leng Huating was being pushed by Leng Qian, and he was also looking at the shop curiously. When Jin Niang asked about the things in the shop, he listened very seriously. I have never been to this kind of place before, and after the age of 12, I seldom go out of the house, so everything here is new to him, it is... a place for him to learn, but it surprised him even more It was his little lady who seemed to have deep meaning in every question she asked. Although she only chatted with the old shopkeeper for a while, she seemed to have understood the general operating conditions of the shop.

"In this shop, you are the old man. Today, the second young master and I came here to learn how to do business. You are our teacher in this respect. We have to learn from you for many things we don't understand. "Jinniang spoke very sincerely, with respect in her eyes. This is her habit. Respecting talented old people is the quality that a person should have.

Fugui was proud and a little embarrassed when he heard it, "Second Young Mistress, from what you said, what I know is just some unseen things, how can it be as good as your poems..."

"Fugui, Second Young Mistress is right. If I don't understand anything in the future, I will ask you. Don't hide your secrets." Leng Huating, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said with a smile. The young master looks like a fairy. I saw it today, and even a fairy is not as handsome as the second young master. His eyebrows and eyes are much more beautiful than the painted fairy. However, I heard that the second young master has a bad temper and can't move He would goug the eyes of those who stared at him, so since the second young master came in, Fugui tried not to let his eyes glance at the second young master, he was really scared, but now, the second young master also said , I have to learn from myself... Besides, the second young master is so fierce, his eyes are obviously more pure and clean than a child's. Would such a person be so cruel...
