Chapter 104, the worries of the big shopkeeper of Taifeng Commercial Bank
There is still no singing and dancing. Apart from maintaining the presence of the playboy Mr. Cai, the rich rewards of King Jin, led to the popular Red Street surrounding Mr. Cai. Recently, the Chamber of Commerce has led all the business in the royal city. The merchants are not officials. They sway in the Red Street and spend money quickly and neatly. Hong Street is now a place that is more lively than restaurants and inns, and is basically not available to the Chamber of Commerce.
Chengping Bo Mansion was mourned for three years and did not look for it seriously. I just found a few old musicians to do so. This would be safe and not cause romantic rumors. I would play the flute and stroke the piano, and the sandalwood boards would sound a little melodiously, and that's it.
The housekeepers were still entertaining guests, and they also selected shopkeepers and capable staff in the shop to serve as the other party. At this time, Mrs. Chengping Bo took Qin and the girl to sway, not to go to her to watch the small living room of the Chamber of Commerce, but to burn incense in front of Chengping Boling.
The wife and concubines fell down, and Mrs. Chengpingbo closed her eyes and talked about it. She said too many reasons for running the chamber of commerce, but not much. The family property has not been fully returned yet. She is expected to come back in a few years. She said that Qin said that what Qin said was the only way to run a chamber of commerce at home, so that others should not underestimate it.
The Sifang Chamber of Commerce was held to hold the King of Lu behind the heads of the Lin family and King Jin. Now it is to make a name for itself. When the meaning changes, the environment changes and people's mentality changes. It is a fact that Chengping Bo Mansion will occupy a place in the Chamber of Commerce, which is no longer a changeable fact.
Otherwise, they will have to live in vain. If there is another incident of taking away family wealth, the wife and concubine will be passively beaten again. This is what Mrs. Chengpingbo doesn't want to see again, and Qin doesn't want to. In his wife and concubines, he thinks Chengpingbo won't be willing either.
The deceased person is not in the world, and his ideas are determined by the living person, and this will be achieved by reaching a consensus between wives and concubines. It is not up to them to say that the deceased person still maintains the original respect and from the bottom of his heart that he is already a good pair of dying people. He should be pleased if he knows something under the spring of Chengping.
After confiding, they stood up with the help of the girl, because those who were kneeling would bow their heads and raise their heads. They pressed the little white flowers on their temples. The girls prepared their blue and black brocade robes for them, and then walked out and headed towards the Chamber of Commerce.
The small living room connected by a long corridor, whether it was originally owned or later built, has a front door for guests to come in. On both sides of the front door are a hand-papered veranda, which is connected to the corridors of other corner doors.
There is also a back door leading to the second door. This back door does not allow guests to enter and exit, and most of them are locked, for fear that a copper lock will appear in countless eyes and will not look good. A large eight-panel screen is placed on it and filled with the scenery.
The screen either paints calligraphy and paintings with famous poems, or there are flowers on the embroidered screen, such as the wealth of the jade hall, the blooming flowers, the icing on the cake, etc., which are all good colors.
After coming in, he looked at a peony flower, as if the needle embroidery and metaphor of the flower made him linger. In fact, he hesitated over and over again. He wanted to meet Mrs. Chengpingbo, but he was afraid of being rejected and he guessed even more randomly, so he expected to stare at the screen so that Mrs. Chengpingbo would come out to meet.
The back doors of some small living rooms are not locked, and the screen is placed in isolation from the chamber of commerce. Mrs. Chengpingbo will indeed look behind the screen, but the Lin family's chamber of commerce has not done many times and has not said such words.
I often think it was my own guess that the role of the screen in such a dynasty was indeed called voyeurism, but he looked around and changed several small living rooms, but he didn't meet Mrs. Bo.
Generally speaking, for families with corner doors, the area inside the corner door is not a straight line, but may be half a circle. If the corner door surrounds the house from east to west, south and north, the area inside the corner door is an irregular circle or a closed square.
However, most of them are half an irregular closed circle, because some walls are shared with neighbors, next to each other, and there is a pool of water directly. Besides, even if all corner gates of Chengping Bo Mansion are built around the house, Mrs. Chengping Bo will only provide a small half closed circle area, and the Chamber of Commerce will be enough, so there is no need to provide all areas outside the inner house.
This small half-enclosed circular area is connected by a long corridor. Because it is a half circle, the corner door is in the outermost circle, and the small living room is in the corner door, with a center point in the middle. In order to sit in a place without moving, Mrs. Chengpingbo observed most chambers of commerce, and the center point directly built a hall.
The hall is like a spider's body, and the small living room is like a spider's legs stretched out. There may be several small living rooms side by side on one leg. The corridor is like a spider's silk bar, connecting the small living room with the middle hall and the corner door.
The chamber of commerce in the middle is used for the first time today. He often asked about it before he came. He didn't know there was a chamber of commerce, so he wandered around in every small living room, hoping to meet Mrs. Chengping Bo, and be able to talk a few words, and see some of the thoughts of the King of Jin from Mrs. Bo's face.
This is strange. It is not easier to find King Jin to find King Jin, so why should he look at Mrs. Bo?
Taifeng's shopkeeper often thinks that he is an old man who is in the world. Even if King Jin and Mrs. Bo openly had an affair with him, it had nothing to do with him. He did not think that King Jin and Mrs. Bo were intimate, nor did they have no intimacy. He had nothing to do with business, and had nothing to do with his or her family's safety. He often thought that he would not be a good person.
He was bored at this time, because Wei Linxing seemed to have something wrong, and he received obscure news.
The archers Liang Ren drew were densely surrounded by the entire royal city and part of the wilderness. It was quite strange that so many people could have a chat without chatting, "That's the official in the capital, why are the men and women sleeping together, and I'm so happy."
Liang Ren was not as good as Liang Kuo, the king of Lu in training. The difference is that King Lu inherited the army from the old King of Lu. The loyalty of the army was when he was a child. Liang Ren came to organize the administration of officials seven years ago, reorganized the army and horses, and everything started from scratch.
King Lu was rich for several generations and accumulated loyalty for several generations. Liang Ren started from scratch and made a contribution on a blank paper. From the point of time, he could not compare with King Lu. King Lu was afraid of training soldiers. It was not that King Jin was timid and had no dispute with the world. He was not a military genius, who broke the formation in one day and attacked the city in one day. It was normal for him to be the King of Lu to bully people with a strong family background.
I wanted to let the huge number of archers not talk about a word afterwards. From a common saying, "There is no airtight wall". Not to mention that King Jin cannot do it, even King Liang Kuo of Lu can't do it after a long time.
It can still be done in just a few days. When you don’t receive news from the military camp, the news comes from Quguang City.
Mrs. Mao Taizai set a date for returning to Beijing, and to leave the royal city, to Quguang, and to other cities passing by, all have a reservation. The nobles in the capital always have to give the passing city a room for delivery.
If Mrs. Dazai didn't make any trouble, their party would have a sumptuous dinner in Quguang City. As a result, Quguang officials were waiting to blow into wind sticks at Changting, but they did not see Mrs. Dazai on time.
After dark, he received a message from the King of Jin. Dazai's wife arrived in the early morning of the next day. The officials were very unhappy to enjoy the dinner. Everyone took a nap in the yamen and waited until the early morning to welcome Dazai's wife.
Is this respectable enough?
Is this enough courtesy?
The Dazai Madam was like a chicken beaten by rain, depressed and depressed. The entire team, from Shangguan to the coachman, was not energetic. Qu Guang's officials thought it was contempt and saw him off angrily. Until the next few days, they received Liang Ren's letter and mentioned it in a vague way. Those who were qualified to know the inside story were still scolded at home.
Liang Ren intended to refer to the four cities including Qu Guang as royal cities. Qu Guang's Taifeng Trading Company became a shop under the royal city segment. Taifeng Trading Company shared accounts with the government in various places. The trends in the officialdom have always been very accurate. When he received the news soon, he found that he disappeared out of thin air when he was looking for Wei Lin's departure. This was a bolt from the blue and bad luck came.
If Wei Linxing gets done, it is impossible for him to leave without saying a word. However, the things Wei Linxing wants to do will not be small, and it is often impossible to hear it. Now the silent man is missing, and Mrs. Mao Taizai is like a defeated chicken. Generally speaking, there is only one possibility of the worst. Wei Linxing was taken down by the King of Jin.
After getting this answer that he often didn't want to admit, the shopkeeper was ready for everything. He did not misappropriate accounts in Taifeng Business Company, and also checked the relevant account books as soon as possible, and sent the private house in his hand to a reliable person home, and a secret letter to his wife. I believe she would understand when she saw it. If she couldn't go back, she would not take revenge. The civilians were not his highness's opponent.
Then... no yamen runners or tolerance came to the door.
It is not that waiting with joy is even more tormenting than a dull knife. Those who are sad and white in their hair often feel that they will feel relieved. Mrs. Chengpingbo's face became his only hope.
Otherwise, he would not surrender to a familiar official, and he was still lucky. Wei Linxing might have exposed his wealth and was killed, and perhaps King Lu urgently summoned him to return, and soon there would be news for him.
I often looked forward to the Chamber of Commerce in Chengping Bo Mansion that was more than the owner. When I came back, he was familiar with the direction and searched for a small living room. As long as Mrs. Bo was on the other end of the screen, she should want to find that she was the shopkeeper of Taifeng Business Company and could meet her.
On the contrary, when Mrs. Bo saw that she did not show up, her premonition of being in danger of being in danger came true, which means that Mrs. Bo didn't bother to see her.
As he walked around like this, he had a high status in the business bank. From time to time, he met people to chat with him and walked all the way to the chamber of commerce hall. Mrs. Chengpingbo's eyes lit up, and she was happy whenever she came over to any business bank. However, some people appeared in one of the top major business banks, and the shopkeepers appeared in person, which would increase the popularity of her own chamber of commerce.
After all, the Chamber of Commerce has found a suitable partner for both the buyer and the seller, and then the Chamber of Commerce owner can draw money.
If Taifeng Trading Company has a business in the chamber of commerce transactions in these three days, money is a small matter, and the whole of Nanxing will look at it with admiration. They will know that there are many buyers at the chamber of commerce in Chengping Bo Mansion, and many sellers will arrive. Once the transaction is made, the money will be drawn at that time.
If the owner of the chamber of commerce collects money based on his reputation, and if the major businesses are willing to appreciate the honor, the reputation will be praised without any invitation.
Mrs. Bo stood up excitedly: "Sister Qin, the shopkeeper of Taifeng Trading Company has arrived. Please accompany me to meet."
He said angrily again: "No one informed the gatekeeper. This is a rich man. Hurry up and find a small living room without anyone to sit down. Let's go there now, serve good tea and send the best snacks."
The Chamber of Commerce is a good opportunity for Mrs. Bo to study. There are several managers here who are always here. When they hear Mrs. Bo’s complaints, although they don’t watch the door, they also feel that the wife is young and everyone is responsible. One blushed and said, “The guardian may not know the shopkeeper, right?”
“That’s true.”
Mrs. Bo thought about it and she came to visit her in person, but she didn't see her often being the shopkeeper. Later, she met her at the chamber of commerce. The mystery of the shopkeeper of the shopkeeper is sometimes no less than that of the embroidery lady of the official family.
It is also hidden in the depths of the boudoir and idlers do not recognize it.
I won’t complain, I’m going to tidy up my clothes with Qin. My feet were sneering outside. The sound of hardness in winter was as crisp as if I was smashing someone’s jar. Camellia stretched out her head and couldn’t help laughing: “Why are Wang Er going crazy?”
Cha Xiang rolled her eyes as usual. The two young girls were about the same age, and Cha Xiang was a little older: "You just want to take the job, just laughing at me." Cha Xiang walked out to get the job.
Wang Er panted: "It's amazing,"
"Oh, please reply." Cha Xiang spat.
"Okay, wait for me to take a breath." Wang Er took a few deep breaths, and once his strength recovered, he smiled happily: "The shopkeeper of Tu Jushan from Longmen Trading Company has arrived, and there is still......"
The camellia is about to laugh, and the tea fragrance is about to be angry: "Who else!"
"The chicken sold by our family,"
Cha Xiang refused to listen anymore and turned around and came in: "The big shopkeeper of Longmen Trading Company has arrived, and the last time the guest Lin has arrived."
Wang Er shouted outside: "It's not him alone, it's more than a dozen people."
Cha Xiang was angry, her little face turned purple and red: "If you scare the guests away, can you afford it?" Wang Er closed his mouth tightly, thought about it, turned around and ran away, and left a sentence: "I'm still looking at the door."
Mrs. Chengping Bo held back her laughter, but knew that Lin Peng had arrived, and she seemed to have brought many merchants. Of course, she saw Lin Peng first, otherwise she would have to separate the orders in Taifeng Trading and Longmen Trading. Although the business had already ranked first, Taifeng Trading and Longmen Trading, it was rude to be with the two big shopkeepers first and then, and they offended others accidentally. After whispering to Qin, Qin also agreed. A wife and concubine walked through the door behind the small living room, passed the corridor to the screen in another small living room, stood behind the screen. The girl went around in front and told the family who was serving. The family replied: "Mrs. Bo and Qin Niang arrived."
Qin opened his mouth, held back his laughter, and whispered: "What do I do? Which brand name am I on."
Mrs. Bo smiled at her. Someone in the living room talked, so she did not greet Qin about this. In Mrs. Bo's opinion, as long as she was an individual, she should have a name. She was no longer the second girl in the grocery store. Others who came in would just say that she was a grocery store girl. If there was no grocery store, she was not alone.
The person who spoke was Lin Peng. Compared to when he left the royal city, he was very energetic and energetic. Wen Tingyu had already obtained his property. He escorted him into Nanxing and someone sent by the King of Jin was specially escorted. Lin Peng would eat, sleep and rest next, and there was nothing wrong with it, so he looked good.
