Early this morning, steward Song came to look for Qi Yun.
I went to the study first, but when no one was found, Manager Song went to Qi Yun's courtyard, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he was taken to the small room by Tie Zi.
When Steward Song entered the door, he saw Qi Yun flipping through the books in his hand.
Ordinary people need to use abacus to read accounts, but Qi Yun knows the geometry of numbers just by going through it in his mind, and it is accurate. Usually, he only needs to bring his brain and eyes to check accounts.
Seeing Steward Song coming over, Qi Yun put down the ledger in his hand and said to Steward Song, "Sit down, what's the matter with you coming to see me so early?"
Song Guan looked left and right beforehand: "Treasurer Fang didn't come?"
"The pharmacy is going to reopen in the next few days, so he has to be busy." Qi Yun said, and said to Guanshi Song, "If there is nothing else, you can go and have a look when there is nothing."
Manager Song could hear what Qi Yun meant. He wanted to bring someone over to support Fang Li. After all, Fang Li's pharmacy is not as profitable as a liquor store, and most of the shops are hired. My buddy, it's really hard to find someone who can smooth things out.
But steward Song's wine shop kept a lot of them, and the local ruffian that Cai's family looked for before was also held down by them.
If someone else wanted to borrow someone from Steward Song, Steward Song would definitely not agree. Those people have high monthly money, and it is not worth it to pay others to help themselves.
But Qi Yun just raised his head, and before he could say anything, Steward Song responded with a smile: "I know, I'll take someone over when the pharmacy reopens in two days, and I'll make sure everything goes smoothly."
This made Qi Yun a little surprised. Steward Song was usually shrewd but stingy. He thought he had to say a few more words, but who knew that Steward Song would be generous this time.
Satisfied on his face, Qi Yun asked people to serve tea, while Steward Song smiled faintly.
In fact, these days, when several stewards get together in private, there are comparisons with each other.
Steward Song is undoubtedly the most proud of them, but now Steward Dong is not bad. His medicine garden has attracted Qi Yun's heart, and his daughter and son-in-law's medicine store is also about to expand, obviously it is about to take off.
The other stewards were pondering, but steward Song was very mature and very careful, so it was inevitable that he wanted to eat.
But Steward Song has always been extraordinarily peaceful, getting along well with Steward Director, and giving Fang Li a lot of advice.
Others couldn't see it through, but Steward Song had been with Qi Yun for the longest time, so he could see clearly.
The second young master of his own must have a great career in the future, so why should he hold a wine shop tightly? And now Qi Yun asked him to do things not only on the shop, but also many other things for him to do.
Butler Song thought to himself, if Song Mou would one day become the chief steward by Qi Yun's side, no wine shop or pharmacy shop could compare to the ease in the future!
Thinking of this, Steward Song finally remembered the purpose of his visit: "The caravan's affairs have become clear, and it seems that Manager Sun has the intention to cooperate with us."
Qi Yun was not surprised by this. The last time the shopkeeper Sun could bluntly invite him to his house, he had already thought of this step.
It's just that Qi Erlang, who has always been cautious, did not nod easily: "Have you found out what kind of grievances they have with the Cai family?"
Manager Song nodded and said, "The two of them were neighbors before they made their fortunes. When they built their house more than 30 years ago, the Cai family occupied their land and cut down an old banyan tree. Since then, they have held a grudge."
Perhaps to the current Sun family and Cai family, the land of one or two feet is nothing, but to them back then, it was not only the land, but also the face!
Moreover, the Cai family chopped down the Sun family tree, which is digging their roots in a bright light. It is not surprising that this grudge is still there.
The personal vendetta is difficult to solve, and it is endless, and the two families seem to have no room for turning around.
But it was good news for Qi Yun. He looked at Steward Song and said, "Is the request made by the Sun family last time still counted?"
"I'll count, but this time I added a caravan in. Boss Sun's message was that he wanted to get more benefits." Steward Song said while looking at Qi Yun's face.
Qi Erlang's expression was the same as before. Seeing steward Song hesitating, Qi Yun couldn't help but say, "If you have something to say, just tell me."
Steward Song replied immediately: "Manager Sun said that he is willing to help with the Cai family's affairs, but if we want to participate in the caravan, we must promise that the Qi family's shops in the town will be exchanged from the Sun's bank. "
Because this is not a trivial matter, Song Guanshi was hesitant.
It's a good thing to have the helper of the Sun family, but if you promise to entrust all of these to the Sun family's bank, you will give the Sun family a benefit. As for the benefits, no one understands the future of these stores better than Manager Song. .
This is a piece of fat, and Steward Song scolded him in his heart, and Shopkeeper Sun's appetite is really big, aren't he afraid to support himself.
But at this moment, I heard Qi Yun say: "I agree to their conditions."
Manager Song was taken aback for a moment: "...Second Young Master, do you want to think about it again?"
"No need." Qi Yun looked indifferent, looked at Manager Song and said, "He only said that he wanted the Qi family's business in the town, and didn't say anything else, right?"
Manager Song nodded.
Qi Yun's voice was calm: "The profit that the caravan can get is unbelievable, and the shopkeeper Sun is willing to give us the profit, so I will naturally give him some benefits. It's just that the shops in the town are not in the way. After all, the future of our shop will not only be To drive in the town, shopkeeper Sun can also see this, he is leaving room for us all."
Song Guanshi heard the words, his eyes lit up: "Master, you mean..."
Qi Yun didn't say much. Some things haven't been done yet, and it's not suitable to draw a big cake for his subordinates. Qi Yun opened the topic: "I have something to do, and I have to ask you to do it."
Steward Song stood up immediately: "Don't dare, Song listens to the young master's instructions."
Qi Yun lightly tapped the table with his fingertips, and then said, "Did Saburo invite a son to meet in the wine shop before?"
Manager Song recalled: "It was the second day of the first year? Yes, I was in the shop that day, and there were about six or seven people waiting for the third young master. The third young master was called the lead 'three young masters', who brought his wife's house with him. Servant, it looks like a rich family."
Qi Yun didn't think that he was just a son, even if it was just a one-sided relationship before, Qi Yun could see that the man's bearing was extraordinary.
Often the clothes on the body are easy to change, but the temperament of people is very different. Some people have been pampered for a long time, and naturally they are extravagant.
In other words, people who are accustomed to being served or those who are rushing for life can often be distinguished at a glance.
Moreover, Qi Yun had seen him at the stall in Guanpu before, and that person spoke and did things differently.
Although the woman beside him remained silent, she was extraordinarily cautious and thoughtful.
As for the servant who was with that person, Qi Yun, who was wrapped up tightly at the time, didn't pay attention, but just based on the appearance of the couple, Qi Yun knew that the friend that his third brother made this time was probably not small.
This made Qi Yun have to be cautious.
He didn't say anything wrong, just said to Steward Song: "Those people should be near the town, let your subordinates pay more attention, don't be too deliberate, just report back when you see it."
Manager Song responded.
After Steward Song left, Qi Yun looked at the shadow clock in the yard. Seeing that it was still early, he got up and asked, "Tie Zi, where is Jiao Niang?"
Tie Zi came in from outside the door and said, "Master, Mrs. Dong from the pharmacy came over just now, and she is talking to the second young lady in the room right now."
Qi Yun stopped.
Dong Shi and Ye Jiao have a good relationship, Qi Yun knows it, and it's normal to talk.
It's just that Qi Yun remembered the gift Dong gave to Ye Jiao last time, and the colorful fire escape map really benefited a lot.
Qi Yun put down the stove silently, and said to Tie Zi, "It's alright for them to say something to themselves, and let the small kitchen make some snacks and send them over, remember to keep them warm."
Tie Zi trotted away immediately.
In my own young master's place, no matter how small the young lady's matter is, it is a big deal, but it can't be delayed!
And Ye Jiao was talking with Dong Shi very candidly at this moment, and the two of them were studying together with a few pots of flowers on the table.
"It's really rare that you can grow and live on this flower girl." Dong shi said and laughed, and this sentence was very sincere.
She is a drug addict, and it is common to grow some flowers and plants. Now many herbs and flowers that could not survive before can be put into Ye Jiao's place, and Dong Shi is naturally happy.
Ye Jiao smiled and said, "It's not difficult if you have a method. If you like Chunlan, take it back. You gave me a few plants before, so you can take it back."
Dong Shi was also not polite to Ye Jiao, and put it away with a smile.
At this time, Xiao Su brought the food box and came in. Ye Jiao smelled the aroma and immediately looked over: "What is this?"
"It's gouache dumplings. The second young master instructed the small kitchen to make some hot food for the second young grandmother to prepare." Xiao Su said as she brought out the bowl.
When Dong shi heard this, he couldn't help but say, "You two have a really good relationship."
Ye Jiao smiled, took the spoon, and shared a bowl with Dong.
The warm gouache glutinous rice balls were eaten in the stomach, and the little ginseng narrowed his eyes with a smile.
After eating a few pills, Ye Jiao put down the spoon and patted her stomach with satisfaction.
Dong Shi also threw away the bowl, took out the handkerchief and wiped the corner of his mouth.
Ye Jiao looked at Dong's complexion and tilted her head slightly: "You look really good, you look much better than before." Before Dong's answer, Ye Jiao asked, "How about that pot of auspicious flowers? ?"
"It's driving well, especially in the past few days, I have kept it in the house. It grows beautifully, tastes good, and it is very pleasant." Speaking of which, Mr. Dong looked around and said curiously, " Jiao Niang, you like flowers and plants so much, why is there only one in the house?"
Ye Jiao smiled and looked at the stone bud grass under the window to bask in the sun, and said with a smile, "My sister-in-law's son likes to come here. Children are active and like to catch flowers when they see them."
The stone sprout grass she usually puts up high, he can't see it, but if it is changed to something more beautiful, I am afraid it will be uprooted.
The little ginseng held the gouache dumplings and said in his mouth: "The flowers and plants can still grow if they are destroyed, but those flowers have medicinal properties. If they are eaten by him, if they feel uncomfortable, they will be troublesome. The child is thin, Better to be careful."
Dong shi blinked with envy in his eyes.
She has never had children, but she has a lively and cheerful temperament. It's not that she is full of gloomy bad temper when she sees other people's children and children, but she especially likes to listen to these lively people.
Dong shi looked at Ye Jiao with some anticipation: "Is the child here recently?"
Ye Jiao shook her head, and there was some pity in her soft and waxy voice: "I don't come here often. He will be two years old after the new year. My sister-in-law is teaching him how to read."
Dong Shi was a little surprised: "So early?"
It's not a trivial matter to be able to read and hyphenate words. Children from ordinary families have to wait until they are four years old before they are sent to Kaimeng. This baby has to learn to read at the age of two, which is indeed a bit early.
Ye Jiao also felt that it was too early. She had gone to see the stone before, and such a chubby little doll followed the Three Character Classic with aggrieved baba, I'm afraid he didn't know what it meant.
But Ye Jiao is optimistic: "It's better to recognize it early. My husband said that Saburo helped enlighten him when he was two years old. Since Saburo can do it, so can Shishi."
Dong Shi couldn't help but sighed: "My brother, brother and brother, the owner, is also enviable."
The little ginseng replied sincerely: "Yes, they have a good relationship. My husband said that he was bored and had nothing to do at the time, and Saburo was very skinny, so he asked Saburo to endorse it, saying that it can make people self-cultivation."
Dong:…
Always feel that something is not right.
No wonder the third young master looks like a little old man at a young age, so the root is here.
But Ye Jiao didn't think it was strange, she was thinking, since Xiao Shishi has been working hard recently, it's okay to bring auspicious grass in, no matter if you need it or not, it's good to use it to smoke the house of.
Thinking of this, Ye Jiao said to Xiao Su, "Bring the flowerpot from the wing."
Xiao Su responded and left.
Dong Shi couldn't help but smile and said, "You always let me take the auspicious grass with you, but you didn't care about it yourself. Instead, you treated this useless baby stone bud grass like something... Hey."
Ye Jiao was putting a dumpling into her mouth, and when she saw Dong's voice stopped, she couldn't help but follow Dong's eyes.
Then, I saw that the stone bud grass in the sun was still slender and slender, with its branches and leaves stretched, and it looked no different from usual.
But the petals above are slowly falling.
The three flowers fell clean in their breath.
