Greetings, Ninth Uncle

Chapter 40: niece

Views:

Cheng Yujin stopped and walked all the way, and the time was delayed a lot, but the market also thought about it. Cheng Yujin visited several cloth shops and clothing stores in succession. She roughly understood how much a piece of blue coarse cloth sold for, and how much would a piece of linen and brocade cost. As for ready-to-wear, Cheng Yujin is more familiar. She lives in the inner house and needs to pay monthly money to make clothes. Just listening to the chatting of the maids every day, she can also understand what kind of patterns are fashionable and what kind of fabrics are cut to look good. .

Cheng Yujin had a rough idea, and the driver asked, "Miss, there are two more ready-to-wear stores in the back, do you still want to go?"

Cheng Yujin glanced back and said, "No need, let's go directly to the two shops in our house."

The coachman replied, "Yes," and drove his horse to another street. Cheng Yujin waited in peace for a while, and it didn't take long for her to arrive. Forsythia helped Cheng Yujin to get off the car, Cheng Yujin stood on the ground, first looked up and looked around, and found that there was a small shop on the fork in the road, with a three-character plaque of "Yunyifang" hanging on it. Because of the good location, it is not too crowded at the door, but compared with the big embroidery workshops that Cheng Yujin passed by just now, it is still much worse.

Cheng Yujin knew that this was the legacy Cheng Laohou left her.

Cheng Yuanjing also saw it, he dismounted, took two steps and saw Cheng Yujin still, and asked, "What are you stopping for?"

Cheng Yujin followed naturally and said, "I'm looking at the surrounding environment. Ninth Uncle, grandfather just handed over these shops to me, I'm afraid the shopkeeper in the shop doesn't know that he has changed his home. We'll go in later. You don't have to show your identity, just pretend to be buying fabrics and ask for a while."

Cheng Yuanjing had nothing to do, and chuckled lightly: "You're thinking too much."

"Thank you Ninth Uncle."

Although Cheng Yuanjing did not say yes, but after entering the door, he did not mention that they belonged to the Cheng family of Yichun Houfu. The shopkeeper was hired to guard the store, and from a distance, he noticed a young gentleman coming outside. He was sighing at which family of nobles and grandsons came out with his wife and family to relax, and then he watched the handsome man park at the door of his house and turned around to help a woman out of the car.

The female servant was like a cloud. Although she was dressed in plain white clothes, she had a beautiful face and a calm temperament. When she raised her head, it was like a flower in full bloom, like the moon flowing in a river. The two stood side by side, an indescribable match.

The shopkeeper was stunned, not only him, but also the pedestrians who passed by on the road couldn't help but look back at the pair. Until Cheng Yujin and Cheng Yuanjing entered the door, the shopkeeper finally reacted and rushed over to solicit: "Girl, son, what are you looking for?"

Cheng Yuanjing has a special identity and has rarely appeared in public over the years. The shopkeeper does not know Cheng Yuanjing. And Cheng Yujin is a female dependent, so the shopkeeper will never meet her. Therefore, the two masters stood in front of them, and the shopkeeper didn't recognize them, and was still entertaining them attentively. This was exactly what Cheng Yujin wanted. She pretended to be not very proficient and said, "This is my first time here, and I don't know what fabrics to buy. I don't know what the store recommends?"

As soon as the shopkeeper heard this, he knew that this was a big customer, and smiled even more attentively: "Girl, this is the right person to ask, and the girl will come with the little one."

Cheng Yujin took the maid to see the fabric inside, and Cheng Yuanjing stood in the outer hall waiting for her. The shopkeeper personally led the way, and the original running hall was free, so he had to come over to entertain Cheng Yuanjing. Going to court, he deliberately said something nice and obedient: "The son and the girl have a really good relationship. The son and the girl are talented and beautiful, and they make people happy when they look at them. In the future, they will have more sons and more happiness, and grow old together."

Cheng Yuanjing didn't care, but after hearing this, it became more and more strange. Cheng Yuanjing turned back and glanced silently at the shop assistant. Dian Xiaoer's calf was softened by this look. He has seen many dignitaries before, but there has never been a person like Cheng Yuanjing, who is dressed in white and casual, does not show off or shouts, but it can make people feel awe from the heart.

The second shopkeeper was nervous, and stammered when he said, "Young Master, calm down... Did the youngest say something wrong?"

Cheng Yuanjing was not angry, he was just curious: "Why do you think she and I are husband and wife?"

Cheng Yujin is obviously unmarried and dressed up, these little errants are rolling around in the rich and powerful every day, so they don't even have this insight. Cheng Yuanjing was rarely curious. It wasn't Cheng Yujin, so was it from him? Where does he look like he is married

The shop assistant was dumbfounded by the question. He scratched his head and murmured, "Young master and the girl just now entered the door together. Although the girl is still wearing a low bun, she is of the right age and is at the age of marriage. The age of the son and the girl cannot be the same. Father and daughter, they don’t look like brothers and sisters, so they’re not unmarried couples, so what else could they be?”

There is another point that the shop assistant is embarrassed to say, that is, if they are brothers and sisters, it is conceivable that the brothers and sisters can take their sister to the clothing store. It won't be like Cheng Yuanjing and Cheng Yujin. They are both beautiful and not like real people. They are not too far apart. They are alienated and polite and have a tacit understanding that others cannot intervene. Standing together, they are really like a noble couple.

Therefore, the second shopkeeper felt that the two were from good backgrounds and were engaged, but not yet officially married. So Cheng Yujin combed the girl's hair in a bun, and Cheng Yuanjing took his fiancee out to buy wedding supplies.

Is it not

The shop assistant was a little confused. At this time, the shopkeeper led Cheng Yujin out of the room. Cheng Yuanjing lowered his head and glanced at the second shop assistant. At that moment, the second shop assistant was so blessed that he magically understood what Cheng Yuanjing meant.

Don't talk about this topic anymore.

Cheng Yujin didn't know what was going on outside. She saw Cheng Yuanjing standing outside, almost lighting up the entire store by herself. Cheng Yujin walked up to him naturally and called, "Ninth uncle."

The shop boy suddenly widened his eyes, his expression was so exaggerated that he almost suspected that his eyeballs would fall out of his sockets. The second shopkeeper has been practicing for many years, but he never thought of this possibility anyway. This man and woman are not brothers and sisters, not a fiancée, but an uncle and nephew

Dian Xiaoer's surprise was too obvious. Cheng Yujin noticed Dian Xiaoer's expression and frowned suspiciously: "Ninth Uncle, what's the matter?"

Cheng Yuanjing glanced at the shop boy lightly, and the shop boy hurriedly lowered his head. Cheng Yuanjing retracted his gaze and said lightly, "Nothing. Have you seen the material you like?"

Speaking of this, Cheng Yujin's attention was immediately diverted, and he immediately put aside the question just now. Cheng Yujin said: "The material is good. I heard from the shopkeeper that the store also doubles as ready-to-wear, so I asked them to show me two ready-to-wear."

Cheng Yuanjing nodded, these things are for Cheng Yujin to play with, she can do whatever she wants. While talking, the shopkeeper had already taken out the finished clothes, and Cheng Yujin stepped forward to look at it for a while, pondering.

The shopkeeper also gradually saw that something was wrong. Although Cheng Yujin looked at a lot of materials, he did not ask questions and speak as if he wanted to buy them, but as if... to inspect. The shopkeeper gradually became suspicious, worried about which company came to inquire about the inside story, but felt that who could invite such two immortal characters. It's really unbearable, so what is going on

Cheng Yuanjing saw Cheng Yujin put down the cloth in his hand and asked, "Is it okay?"

"Um."

"Pack it all up."

"Hey!" Cheng Yujin stopped quickly, turned around and said to Cheng Yuanjing, "Ninth Uncle, what are you buying here?"

This is a shop in her name. Isn't it stupid that her family pays her own family to buy things here

The shopkeeper stood aside, his mood was up and down, and when he heard Cheng Yujin's words, the smile on his face could hardly be maintained.

What's the meaning? Do you despise him

In the end, Cheng Yujin was embarrassed to let Cheng Yuanjing spend the unjust money. Of course, she knew that Cheng Yuanjing gave her money for her own sake, but Cheng Yujin was so embarrassed that she couldn't hold the money.

After that, Cheng Yujin went to the jewelry store and Liuli shop again. The jewelry store was called Linlang Pavilion, which was not far from Yunyifang, but the shop selling Liuli was a little far away. After the three stores were finished, Cheng Yujin was very embarrassed. Cheng Yuanjing was different from her. He had a lot of things to deal with, but he spent a day with her. When taking the car back to the mansion, Cheng Yujin thanked Cheng Yuanjing properly: "Thank you, Jiu Shu."

This time, Cheng Yuanjing didn't care much about the sincerity she said. He said, "After you went out just now, I sent the brand name of Houfu to these three stores. Now they must already know that you are the new owner. Later, if you want to If you want to spread the word, or want to go out to see the shop, just come to Liu Yi directly."

Cheng Yujin's lips moved, and in the end she could only bow deeply: "Uncle Xie Jiu."

Cheng Yujin doesn't like to trouble others, and she also doesn't like being troubled by others, but this time she couldn't even say what to say. Because she really needs outside manpower too much. She lives in the inner house, surrounded by maids and old ladies, and these people can't leave the second door, not to mention that there are many people from Mrs. Cheng and the Lord of Qingfu County. It is too difficult for Cheng Yujin to manage the industry without the eyes and ears of others.

Cheng Yuanjing's remarks can be described as helping in the snow, Cheng Yujin couldn't refuse, and could only remember Cheng Yuanjing's good in his heart.

After returning to the room in the evening, Forsythia brought hot tea to Cheng Yujin: "Girl, you have been walking outside for a day today, so take a rest."

Cheng Yujin was out all day today, and she didn't rest when she came back, she took a pen and made tricks. Yunyifang and Linlangge have good business, but Cheng Yujin thinks it can be better. Their current income is far from the location where the two stores are located.

In the past, Lord Cheng had a lot of industries, and he didn't want to take care of them one by one, as long as he didn't lose money. But Cheng Yujin is different. She only has three stores in her hands, and there are many places to spend money. She must maximize profits. She didn't understand Liuli, so she could only put it on hold for the time being, but for the other two, Cheng Yujin had a lot of ideas to put into practice.

After all, she has been a Miss Hou's mansion for fourteen years, and her eldest mother is still the master of Qingfu County. She has seen so many good things in her eyes over the years. She can still talk about the transformation of a clothing store and a jewelry store.

Cheng Yujin put down the pen and sighed with a rare melancholy: "Uncle Jiu has really helped me this time, and I don't even know how to repay it."

Forsythia didn't know the inside story, and said quickly: "Girl, Jiuye is your uncle, and his own flesh and blood, why do you pay so much attention?"

Cheng Yujin shook her head, if Cheng Yuanjing was really her ninth uncle, Cheng Yujin would shamelessly accept it. The big deal is to send more snacks in the future, who will let the younger generation have their own confidence. But Cheng Yuanjing is not.

This favor is indebted.

Forsythia didn't understand why Cheng Yujin was so worried, Cheng Yujin shook his head, and didn't want to say any more. She sighed, and for the first time found that she had been a girl for more than ten years, conceited and versatile, but when she really used it, she didn't have much use.

Cheng Yujin could only make up her mind, go more frequently during this time, and send more snacks and other gadgets. Although these things are not worth mentioning to the prince, Cheng Yujin doesn't know what else he can do besides these.

Cheng Yujin thought about it for a while, and sighed in her heart, "Uncle Jiu is really a good man."
