Qi Yun has been very busy these days.
When the end of the year was approaching, although the shop had already reported the bill, there were a lot of miscellaneous things.
Small things such as the guy's vacation and the monthly money can be taken care of by Mr. Song. Mr. Song is still very capable, but apart from these small details, Mr. Song can't make up his own mind about some big things.
He came to Qi Yun regularly every day. Yesterday, he talked about the name of the new wine. Today, he talked about where the new shop will be located next year. Tomorrow, he will prepare some money for the yamen.
These are all related to the future of the wine shop. Manager Song did not dare to make up his own mind, so he could only leave it to Qi Yun.
Fortunately, Qi Yun has rules in mind. Although there are many things, he doesn't find it difficult. Even if he is nervous but not busy, he can sort it out clearly.
After finishing today's work, Steward Song heaved a sigh of relief and said to Qi Yun with a smile: "Second Young Master is really good. If I don't have you, I'm afraid these things will make me toss until next year."
Qi Yun has long been accustomed to Song Guanshi's flattery of him, but unlike Ye Jiao, his daughter is sincere every time, but Song Guanshi is 70% sincere and 30% false. Hard to distinguish.
It is understandable, after all, since he is the owner, of course Steward Song has to follow his own words.
Qi Yun put down the pen in his hand, and said slowly, "When the location of the new shop is decided, you should rest for a while. Are all the things ready for the New Year?"
Steward Song hurriedly said: "Get ready. This year, the master is extraordinarily generous. He has added 30% of the reward to several of our stewards. The family has prepared well."
The reason for adding 30% is that Qi Zhao and Qi Yun each have 30 pieces of money to play a role.
These 30 pieces were finally released, and they did not lose a single penny.
In fact, according to Qi Yun's thinking, it's right for him to make 30 sticks. After all, the wine shop made money, and it was usually the elder brother who helped him, so he should have made more money.
But the big brother can reduce it appropriately. After all, Zhuangzi's income is half less than his own, and the 30 points are indeed a bit more.
But Liu Shi did not nod, saying that the exact number is the exact number, and there is no negotiation.
But in private, the Liu family told Qi Zhao and Qi Yun that the money could be used at most 20, and the rest would be put in their Zhuangzi shop next year.
Qi Yun didn't tell Ye Jiao this, he knew that his wife didn't mind where the money went.
On the contrary, Qi Zhao needs these words to go back to coax Mr. Fang. I don't know if the effect will be good or not. At least Mr. Fang won't feel bad about it now.
It's just that these are his own affairs, Qi Yun won't take it out and talk to Steward Song, he just said: "This is my parents' idea, the family's harvest is good this year, and the income in the shop is also good, it's time to let it go. The people below have a good year together."
When Song Guanshi heard the words, he bowed his hands with great sincerity: "The owner is lenient."
At this time, Tie Zi said to the inside from the door: "Second Young Master, someone came from outside, saying that a shopkeeper surnamed Sun sent him here, and he is waiting in the front hall with his things and salutations."
Steward Song was stunned for a moment, but Qi Yun thought for a moment and then said with a light expression: "Steward Song, it should be the Sun family of Qianzhuang, you can go and see, and accept what you give."
"Yes, Second Young Master." Steward Song got up and went out, and came back soon after, with two suitcases.
Without waiting for Steward Song to speak, Qi Yun said, "Is it because of the trouble at the opening last time?"
Guanshi Song said with a smile: "Second Young Master expected things like God, that's right, that person said that Manager Sun was so angry about this that he had already sent people to Cai's house, and also found out that Cai's family likes to do this under the guise of others. The act of provoking trouble and causing trouble, this time it is considered an oversight of the Sun family, and sent someone to send an apology."
Qi Yun didn't look at the box, but said, "It's better to say it's an apology, it's better to say that it's coming to pull us as an ally."
Manager Song was a little puzzled: "What does the owner mean?"
Qi Yun glanced at Steward Song: "Don't pretend to be confused with me, this method can be used against others, don't use it against me, I still know your ability."
Sure enough, the doubts on Manager Song's face quickly disappeared.
Manager Song knew about this matter from the beginning to the end, and he could also guess the twists and turns in it.
It was the Cai family who was making trouble. Both sides knew it well, but they never broke it. It was just for the sake of that level.
Before you have the confidence to completely suppress the other party, you still have to be friendly on the surface, and what you pursue is just a rare and confusing sentence.
Now, the Sun family can clarify what they said and even send things, but they also have hatred against the Cai family, but they have been unable to move their hands. You can join forces to deal with the Cai family, and then come over and take the initiative to show your favor.
At worst, it was the Sun family who wanted to pull the Qi family into the water together.
But in the best case, the best-selling wine shops in this town are only the Cai Qi family. If the Cai family collapses, it will be beneficial to Qi Yun.
Business Tao is different from the court. The court pays attention to checks and balances. Even if the two sides fight into black-eyed chickens, they will not really want to kill the other side, because there is an emperor sitting above. If the other side is finished, he will inevitably follow. We all know that balance is the most important thing.
The shopping mall is different. If you can eliminate all opponents and monopolize a business, it will be a better thing.
The Sun family wants to pull the Qi family into the water, why doesn't Qi Yun want to borrow the money and power of the Sun family to help him
Manager Song was thinking about the beginning and the end of the story when he went to talk to the people sent by the Sun family. He was not surprised that Qi Yun would make such a choice. After all, this was the most sensible thing. What surprised Manager Song was that he thought about it for so long. It was only after thinking clearly that Qi Yun only had a decision between his breaths.
This made Manager Song pay more and more attention to his second young master, and that's why he acted like a fool and pretended to be a green leaf for Qi Yun.
Seeing that Qi Yun didn't like it, Steward Song stopped pretending to be in front of him, and just smiled, "Second Young Master, shall we give the Sun family a gift?"
Qi Yun calculated the days in his heart and said, "We will talk about it during the Chinese New Year next year. Everything has to have a reason."
Steward Song lowered his head: "I wrote it down."
Only then did Qi Yun let Steward Song open the box, which contained mostly things that would be used at the end of the year. He glanced at it, except for the cloth brocade, which was the four treasures of the study, and a beautiful mahogany box.
Iron took out the wooden box and put it in front of Qi Yun. Qi Yun pulled the copper button on it to open the box, and saw eight beautiful bead hairpins inside.
People who travel and sit in Jia are particularly fond of the number eight, and the eight are issued. Since they have done business, the purpose is to prosper and prosper.
And these pearl hairpins must have been prepared for Liu Shi, Fang Shi and Ye Jiao.
Qi Yun didn't study the things in these daughters' homes, but just looked at them and said, "Move them all to my mother's yard and let my mother decide."
Tie Zi responded with a sound, and was about to take the box from the table.
But at this moment, Qi Yun saw a hairpin inside.
The hairpin next to it is either wrapped with gold threads or has fallen green, there is only one, and the whole body is white. Although the style is simple, it looks like it is made of excellent jade.
"Wait." Qi Yun suddenly stopped Tie Zi, stretched out his hand, and took the jade hairpin out of the box.
Song Guanshi was getting older and had a lot of heart, and immediately said: "Second Young Master, this jade hairpin looks warm and beautiful, and it is very suitable for Second Young Mistress."
Tiezi nodded, although he didn't know whether the hairpin was good or not, but Tiezi felt that the second young master would be happy as long as he said good things about the second young grandmother.
Sure enough, Qi Yun's brows and eyes softened, and he said to Tie Zi, "I will tell my mother about this hairpin when I look back."
"I know the second young master."
After Tie Zi left, Steward Song also left at the right time, not disturbing Qi Yun to enjoy their time together.
And Qi Yun was still holding it, as if he was sitting on the chair steadily, and it was not until the two of them left that he quickly stood up, put on his fur coat and held the stove, and went out and returned to his yard.
Normally, Ye Jiao would be in the bedroom at this time, and she would eat a snack whenever she arrived at Shen, as a snack between lunch and dinner.
However, when Mr. Dong came today, the two of them should be talking in the wing room, so Qi Yun also walked towards the wing room.
As soon as we arrived at the door, before picking up the curtain, I heard Dong's voice from inside: "Jiao Niang, this apricot cheese will be cold if you don't eat it."
Ye Jiao's voice still sounded soft through a curtain: "My husband will come back soon, I'll wait for him to eat together."
Qi Yun's heart was hot, but he didn't pick up the curtain immediately, but took a few steps back, intensified the footsteps, pretended to be just here, and only entered the door after feeling that there was no sound inside.
Dong Shi greeted Ye Jiao with a wink and said goodbye. Before leaving, she gave Ye Jiao a look and told her to keep the book.
Ye Jiao didn't receive it correctly. Little Ginseng still doesn't know enough about eye contact between people.
She casually put the book on Qi Yun's bookshelf, and Ye Jiao happily walked towards Qi Yun with Xing Chee.
Qi Yun took off his fur coat and hung it up. He sat next to Ye Jiao and said with a smile, "I don't like sweets at all. Since you like this apricot cheese, you can eat it yourself."
Ye Jiao said to him seriously, "No, let's eat together."
Qi Yun was a little curious: "Why?"
Ye Jiao took a spoon and handed it to him, and said in her mouth, "The box is already empty. If Mrs. wants to buy it and has no money to buy it, I will naturally keep some good things for you."
Hearing this, Qi Yun wanted to tell her that when the end of the year's income inventory was made clear, except for the share that was to be fixed for the family, I'm afraid her small box could not fit the rest.
But in the end, Qi Yun still didn't say anything, but took Ye Jiao's spoon.
He dug a spoonful and put it in his mouth. Seeing that Ye Jiao was motionless, Qi Yun couldn't help but ask, "Why doesn't Jiao Niang eat it?"
Ye Jiao looked at him with clear and clean eyes: "Just a spoon."
Qi Yun looked down at his spoon and turned his head to ask for another one.
Who knows, Ye Jiao actually pointed to her mouth: "You feed me."
This suggestion made Qi Yun's ears red, but Ye Jiao was very calm.
She did not despise Qi Yun, nor did Qi Yun despise her.
On the first night of the marriage, this person fed himself a bowl of water. The little ginseng, who has no concept of husband and wife, should take this as one of the reasons for "it's good to be married". Feeding apricot cheese is the same, and the little ginseng is extra calm.
Fortunately, Qi Yun was not pretentious, and immediately dug a spoonful of apricot cheese and brought it to Ye Jiao's mouth.
It's just that he originally watched Ye Jiao eat, but when he looked at it, Qi Yun looked away and didn't dare to look at it again, and then spit on himself with a messy head in his heart every day.
In this way, you spoon me a spoon, and the two of them share a bowl of apricot cheese, and they practice what it means to share a blessing.
After eating the apricot cheese, Ye Jiao smiled and pulled the two new herbs that bloomed today, so that Qi Yun could go around the herbs regularly, which was also good for his body.
Qi Yun looked at the hands of the two people, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Jiao Niang has done everything for him, and what he can do for Ye Jiao is to make money for Ye Jiao.
My body is good and bad, and I don't know when it will be gone, but even if I can't protect her for a lifetime, I will give her a lifetime of glory.
His sweet girl deserves to be prosperous and happy all her life.
However, while turning around in the yard, Qi Yun never found the best time to send out the hairpin.
Although he doesn't have the sour vibe of a scholar, he always wants to create a good atmosphere before giving gifts, but their topic is either "Stone is urinating again today" or "Those little hens dislike bald hair. I'm a little black." Qi Yun put the hairpin in his arms, and he really couldn't give it away.
At this moment, Mrs. Liu came over and passed on Liu's words: "Second Young Mistress, tomorrow Madam will go to the temple to pray for blessings, will Second Young Mistress come with me?"
