There are still two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it’s raining again. An autumn rain and a cold, and the low temperature in the morning make people tremble.
“Master, are you up?” The senior general manager asked in a low voice.
Chuntao shook her head and yawned.
“What’s the matter with you?”
Since Master Lu often comes to stay in the house for the night, General Manager Gao is anxious every day. When he is free, he has to find Fu Sinian, who talks about trivial things.
“Master Lu said that he would not kill us, so you can relax.”
Chuntao didn’t know where General Manager Gao came from the absurd idea, and felt that their lives were on the line all day long. In addition to eating jealousy, she saw that Master Lu was very kind. To be honest, they are better than their master’s. The master’s temper comes from time to time.
Sometimes he gets angry and looks at the public, and even bites Lu Taishi. I heard that Lu Taishi was ridiculed by the emperor because of the wound on his hand when he went to the court.
“I really have something to do with my master today.” General Manager Gao glared at Chuntao and then said, “A new shop has opened opposite our shop, which is also in the business of clothes and accessories. I asked the master to discuss this matter.”
“Which shop?” Chuntao asked, “The master has more than a dozen shops in the capital.”
“East Street. It was bought a few days ago and opened yesterday.
“Then please wait a little longer. The master should get up when he sees the sun.”
Sure enough, the sound of Fu Sinian calling for water soon came from the room. Chuntao quickly sent water and went into the room to serve her master to wash. General Manager Gao quickly followed and took advantage of Fu Sinian’s time to wash the matter quickly.
“Who is the boss behind the shop?”
“Master, I heard that it’s from the general’s house. Yesterday, the opening of the store robbed us of many customers. I heard from several regual customers that they were to give the general’s face.
When General Manager Gao said this, Fu Sinian knew it and told him not to pay attention.
[Luobai’s shop.]
[Won’t he follow Huo Chuan to war after the Spring Festival?] 017 Curiosity. In the original story, Luo Bai was a self-moved stalker. He followed Huo Chuan wherever he went, and now he has opened a shop in the capital.
[I know, he must be jealous of the host, so he also wants to be a rich merchant!] 017 Speculation.
I have to say that this speculation is indeed in line with Luo Bai’s psychology and style of affairs. Fu Sinian praised 017 a few words and put this matter behind him. Luo Bai’s little fight and trouble are not enough to be afraid of him.
Whether a shop can be maintained depends not on the powerful behind it. If Luo Bai doesn’t even understand this truth, he will only make himself suffer.
Speaking of Luo Bai’s shop on East Street, the old sycon in the general’s house almost wanted to vomit blood. That day, Luo Bai was so angry that he wanted to leave. He raised his hand to see him off and couldn’t wait to pack his luggage for the other party in person. As a result, their generals returned to the palace and reprimanded them before appeasing Luo Bai.
Why keep him? Even if there is really a life-saving grace, such people can just give more money to send it out.
The more the boss thought about it, the angrier he became. He got sick in less than two days. He had no choice but to hand over all the housekeeper’s affairs to Li Qian, and told Li Qian to think about things before doing things. As a result, Li Qian turned around and sent an invitation to the young lady and brother in Beijing to attend the opening of the shop.
On the opening day, the style of the clothes in the store looked good, but the quality was extremely poor, and other goods were even more difficult to describe. Everyone was disgusted, but they could only pinch their noses and buy some. When they went home, they threw them aside. They even felt cheap to use it for people.
On this day, the shop made a profit of more than 3,000 taels. The large profit made both Luo Bai and Li Qian stunned and felt that they had made the right decision. Immediately, it was decided to replenish a large number of goods, recruit embroiderers, and even raise prices to make a lot of money during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
By the second and third days, the business was not bad. Although the profit was not as much as the opening day, it made more than many shops in Beijing.
Luo Bai held the silver bill he earned and couldn’t close his mouth with joy. He didn’t even care about Huo Chuan’s failure to return home at night. On the contrary, Li Qian was still thinking about it and couldn’t help asking, “I haven’t seen my brother and Brother Huo these days. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. No matter how busy you are, you still have a reunion dinner. Go and call them back.”
The servant listened to the order and immediately arranged for people to go to the army. At this time, the two had already rided to the general’s residence. The streets, which were lively in the morning, are now empty, which is convenient for them.
Li Yi is the master of the general’s mansion. As soon as he entered the door, he was naturally treated respectfully and considerately by the servants, but he showed a little contempt for Huo Chuan. Even those who had a good relationship with Huo Chuan in the past did not have the same attitude towards him as before.
Huo Chuan didn’t come back for several days in a row. Naturally, he didn’t know what happened in the general’s mansion. He asked in private and understood that it was another disaster caused by Luo Bai. A trace of gloom flashed in Huo Chuan’s eyes.
“Huo Chuan, there is a sentence that I can’t express.” The servant next to him frowned and said to Huo Chuan, “Since Luo Bai is your brother, you’d better restrain him.” He looked around and saw that there was no talent and continued, “The things in the East Street shop are cheating at first glance. This business has a bad reputation.”
They are servants and know people in their families. You will know this kind of thing as soon as you inquire. The shop was opened for less than three days and ruined Li Yi’s reputation. It was said that their general’s house was short of money and he was thinking of a way to get money from others.
“I also want to report this to the general, but I can’t even rely on the general’s identity, so I can only tell you.” The servant sighed. If the general manager is here, he can also tell the general manager, but the general manager has been sick for several days, and the more he is getting sick, the more he is getting. It is not known whether he can last until the Spring Festival.
Speaking of this, the servant couldn’t help but feel cold in his heart. The boss has served diligently in the general’s residence for decades. Now he is seriously ill in bed, and the young lady has not even visited, let alone find a doctor for treatment.
Even the general manager can still treat him like this, how can they get good results? In the past, in the Mid-Autumn Festival, the government would reward money. This year, they were not only canceled, but also required them not to leave the house. It was really a call for them to cattle and horses.
These things are the ideas of Luo Bai and Li Qian. When the two of them first started to do business, they began to care about money very much. They felt that since these servants were sold to the general’s mansion, it was a matter of generagenity to give them a mouthful of food in the palace, and there was no need to reward money.
“I will inform the general about this matter.”
…
In Fu Sinian’s house, everyone in the house is very busy today.
Fu Sinian, who came back from patrolling the shop, saw the servants at home carrying things into the house one by one. The general manager of the Lu family stood aside with a smile, commanding and reporting the items placed in each box. When he said one, the servants were shocked, and their hands trembled involuntarily, afraid of dropping things. Come on, use a box to pack night pearls and gems. This box is very valuable.
“Master Lin, this is my master’s little intention. I hope you don’t dislike it.” The general manager of the Lu family saluted Fu Sinian and had completely treated Fu Sinian as another master. If possible, he would like to call the lady directly, but the new lady has a bad temper. If she shouts, she may give him a whip.
The beauty’s anger is indeed pleasing to the eye, but the whip on the body is also really painful. It’s better for the master to experience this kind of thing.
“Where are the others?”
“Master Lin, the master is still discussing political affairs with the emperor in the palace. Every year, the emperor will leave the master to eat in the palace…”
Hearing this, Fu Sinian’s face immediately sank. Mr. Lu was stunned and quickly said, “But the master said that since he promised to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with you, he would definitely come back this year. Please wait a moment. When I come, I will meet you.
After saying this, Fu Sinian’s expression was more beautiful, showing a gorgeous smile.
Lu Yanzhou came in a hurry and saw this scene, and he didn’t know whether to send the flowers in his hand or not. Compared with young people, no matter how beautiful the flowers are, they lose their color.
However, Fu Sinian was very happy. Compared with precious jewelry, he preferred the flower that his lover picked for him.
“This flower is so beautiful. I like it very much.” Fu Sinian held the flower and looked at Lu Yanzhou’s burning eyes, and his face began to heat up slightly.
“If you like it, I’ll pick it back for you tomorrow.” Lu Yanzhou promised. There are many more in the emperor’s royal garden.
Fu Sinian smiled happily. He hasn’t been so happy for a long time since he came to this world. In the past three years, in order to get rid of the Gu family without losing or owing, he did not dare to rest for a day, so that he had today’s achievements.
Doing business in ancient times is completely different from modern times. Even if Fu Sinian had an extraordinary business mind, he had been fooled by losses, and once he almost lost all his money. It’s not that I’m not tired, but he doesn’t have much time to sigh.
“By the way, what did the emperor call you to talk about?”
“It’s not a big deal.” Lu Yanzhou picked up his lover’s finger and kissed him gently, “The great wife of the great sima sued the imperial complaint, saying that I abused my power.”
Speaking of this, Lu Yanzhou’s eyes gathered a cold and chilling gloomy. The crazy woman actually threatened to let his baby pay back his blood debt. He also looked at whether these people had that ability.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, all the officials in the court were in danger.
Lu Yanzhou first copied the Dasima family and exiled his three clans for 3,000 miles. Later, he punished two third-class officials, involving even the concubines of the harem. Shu Jieyu, who was originally loved, can only live in the cold palace for a long time and wash her face with tears all day long.
“Although Dasima and others deserved it, Master Lu’s behavior was indeed more cruel.”
“The emperor trusts Master Lu so much that he doesn’t listen to others. What should I do after the prince ascends the throne?”
Since ancient times, there must be a disaster for the autocracy of courtiers. The change of throne is accompanied by bloodshed. Now that Lu Yanzhou is in power, the prince can only be a man with his tail.
“You say that Master Lu will not be the prince who was exiled by the emperor, right?”
“Don’t you dare to talk nonsense? You will kill the nine clans.”
…
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the business in the shops on the street faded, and there were fewer hawkers on the street. Even so, the capital is still prosperous, and new shops are opened every day. Not long after, several shops began to be crowded, and orders were even lined up until the Spring Festival.
Luo Bai looked at the account book in his hand and looked very ugly. These days, the shop has not only not made a profit, but has begun to lose money. In the long run, it will be closed in less than half a year.
“The shopkeeper, the embroidery you want can’t be embroidered.” The person in charge of managing the embroiderer reported the situation to Luo Bai.
“How can’t it be embroidered?” Luo Bai questioned, “The opposite is the same picture!”
In a dynasty without copyright awareness, Luo Bai could not hesitate to plagiarize other people’s works. And the person he plagiarized was Fu Sinian.
In the first world, Fu Sinian specialized in learning embroidery in order to shoot “Jinxiu” well. Although the ancient embroidery techniques are exquisite, they lack novelty. The unique embroidery created by Fu Sinian combined with what he had learned is highly sought after.
The person who came was in trouble and could only say directly, “The embroiderer said that the technique is not understandable, and the second is that the cloth provided in our shop is too poor to needle.” I don’t know where their shopkeeper’s goods come from, but they are all hard to see. If the price is set at a low point, one or two pieces may be sold, but the shopkeeper is unwilling to lower the price.
This person is the most ignorant person he has ever seen about business, but he can’t listen to advice.
“Okay, go and warn the shop opposite that they are not allowed to sell it again.”
Since he can’t do it, let’s not do it.
“Well, are you kidding me?” The person was dumbfounded. Where did he get this kind of power?
Luo Bai sneered. He leans on the general’s house, so naturally he has this power. He had already ordered people to inquire that the owner of the opposite shop was a foreigner and had no roots in Beijing. Even so, he doesn’t have to worry about offending anyone.
Since opening this shop, Luo Bai has experienced the benefits of power. Before, some people came to him to make trouble, saying that the things they sold were poor and they were making a fuss about returning them. As a result, when they heard that the shop was from the general’s house, instead of returning it, they bought two more to take back.
As soon as the idea came up, Luo Bai immediately asked people to do it, and even put forward a new request to hand over the embroidery technique to him. He is not even willing to pay for it.
Fu Sinian laughed angrily when he learned about it.
In terms of brainless, Luo Bai is definitely the most brainless protagonist he has ever seen.
“Master, what do you think about this matter?” General Manager Gao asked Fu Sinian for advice. He has completely surrendered now. Following Master Lin can earn more than following Gu Yuanwai. This person has a bad temper, but he is generous to his subordinates. He said he wanted to be loyal, and he immediately arranged a shop for him to manage. He still has a share of the money he earns every month. Where can he find such a bad thing?
“Talk back to him, don’t talk.”
He doesn’t like to waste time with fools.
Luo Bai smiled coldly after hearing it, “Okay, the road is their own choice.”
The next day, a team of about ten officers and soldiers came to Fu Sinian’s shop. As soon as they came, they told them to close the shop and ask them to pack up their things and get out of here. After saying that, they began to smash them.
While circling with them, General Manager Gao took people to the Yamen to report the case.
In the middle of the capital, at the foot of the son of heaven, there is someone who dares to do such a thing that despises the royal law. It is simply lawless.
The person who came laughed and said, “I only complain that you have offended the general’s house.”
General Manager Gao’s face turned pale and said with hatred, “Do you know who my master is?”
“Who is it? Could it be Master Lu? Hahaha.” The crowd laughed more wildly. They came here because they received Luo Bai’s benefits. Of course, they also knew that the other party was really from the general’s house to do things for him.
“Our master is the future wife of Master Lu!”
