Xie Ming

Chapter 353 Look at the Goods
On June 21st, it was the second day that sisters Zhen and E entered the Shen Mansion.

Liu followed Shen Hongpan's instructions and brought her two sisters to the back hall of Fujinji Silk Shop.

Qi Fugui, the silk shop owner who was bowing and serving in front of him, lowered his head and greeted him in a fawning manner.

Hearing this, Liu's face changed, her thoughts became clear, and she immediately spoke out!
"Haha, what Boss Qi said makes sense!"

"Your shop has been open in Yangzhou for more than a day or two!"

"In the past, I called the housekeeper Zhao from the mansion, and he often came to visit you!"

"But today, I am willing to come here in person, all for Hong Pan's sake!"

"Before we came here, Hong Pan had already mentioned that you two were old acquaintances!"

"You have to ask me to come and take care of your business!"

"Speak no more!"

"Yesterday, two unmarried girls in my family came to Yangzhou from other provinces, and they wanted to pick out some good fabrics to make clothes!"

"So I say, Boss Qi, don't be stingy when you come here this time, just give me the good stuff!"

Liu chose her words wisely. This time, she made a point. Firstly, she saved face for Hong Pan, and secondly, she also stated her own purpose!

"Ah, yes, yes!"

"That's what the lady said!"

"Master Hongpan really loves me!"

"Don't worry about it!"

"The genuine first-batch, top-quality goods have all been prepared for you. They were ready last night!"

"Just waiting for you to choose!" Boss Qi also quickly agreed.

"OK!"

"Hey, that's right!"

"Boss Qi, but there is one more thing!"

"In the past, my housekeeper Zhao had a lot of contact with you!"

"I have my own detailed accounts!"

"But today, since Hong Pan is here, she is here to settle his account!"

"Don't just look at me and raise the price to cheat people out of their money!"

"Don't let me check it out later and find out that you are a fool!"

"If this really happens, do you think I will forgive you?!"

Liu's words made her calculations start to sound, and this possible source of money leakage was also blocked.

What kind of person was Hong Pan in the past? As the concubine of the mistress of the family, how could she not know even if others didn't know?

If this had not been made clear in advance, I'm afraid the businessman would have no idea how to make a profit from this foolish young master!

Upon hearing this, Qi Fugui of Fujinji was suddenly startled.

But he quickly covered it up and his face became even hotter.

"Ouch! This... this is impossible!"

"Ma'am, you really slap me in the face!"

"I am an old man with little capital and little profit. I have been able to make a living in Yangzhou City for these years, all thanks to the generosity of Madam and Young Master!"

"How dare I lie to you!"

"Even if you give me a hundred or so courage, I still wouldn't dare to do it!"

"That's all I can tell you!"

"Now that Master Hong Pan is here, let's not look at anything else. Just the compassion and care that Master has shown me is enough for me, an old man like me!"

"I know that the young master loves me, so how could he be so mean?!" "Say it again, I'm saying this again!"

"Madam, who are you?!"

"The Shen family, with their status as the Huizhou Merchants Association, can tremble even in Yangzhou if they stamp their feet!"

"Tell me, am I crazy? How dare I deceive you?!"

"Hey, if you find it useful, come and visit often in the future!"

"Give me something, it's enough for me to live on for half my life!"

"Do you say yes or no?!"

"Besides, you are willing to use the fabrics from Fujinji, which is a great blessing for me, Qi Fugui!"

“At the same time, it’s also a signboard!”

"This is a great honor for me!"

"lady!"

"You can rest assured!"

"Satin, as long as it's good, I will do my best to pick it for you, you can pick it as much as you want!"

"As for the price, we'll base it on the profit we make from purchasing the goods!"

"You are willing to come here in person today, my shop is already glorious!"

"This time, I will never dare to take advantage of you!"

"I hope you will make a good impression on me. It will be a blessing if you come here often in the future!"

"There is a long way to go, there is a long way to go!"

“I still understand this principle!”

Qi Fugui flattered and fawned as much as possible.

Hearing this, Aunt Liu felt a little more relieved.

Not wanting to talk any more, he took two sips of tea and prepared to go and check out the goods.
Fujinji's shop is now open on the main street in the east of the city!

And this back hall is actually a fairly large square house!
There won't be any unnecessary scenery in the standard style. There are side rooms on the east, west and north sides of the courtyard, and only the south side faces the street.
In terms of the overall structure, it seems more like a courtyard house commonly seen in northern mansions!
At this moment, Aunt Liu of the Shen Mansion went to the main house in the north and has been selecting satin fabrics. The side rooms on the east and west sides seem to be used as the classification warehouses of Fujinji.

The servants on the left and right and the maids brought in by Mrs. Liu were passing various kinds of silk fabrics from the side rooms to the big room in the north for Mrs. Liu to inspect.

Time flies, and the midday sun is setting.

As the sun gets closer to the zenith, it is almost noon!

In the big house on the north side, Liu was still inspecting with great enthusiasm. Qi Fugui, the boss who was also the shop owner, saw that the Shen family bought a lot, so his mouth widened while he was serving them!
After all, as a woman, she will not feel bored when she comes to look at these things.

The two sisters, Yuzhen and Xiao'e, who came with them, finished their selection early in the morning. After each of them got three pieces of material they liked, they stopped their work!
After all, when you are a guest in someone else's house, it is not good to spend too much money on the host.

Just based on this, it can be said that Aunt Liu was forced to choose him.

Before coming, if you follow Yuzhen's suggestion, we can just pick one each.

of course!
If these few pieces of satin were kept in the Duke's Mansion in the capital in the past, they would not have caused Yuzhen so much worry!
What is the picture?!
Look at the ones you like and take them all.

But now, I'm in a foreign land, living under someone else's roof. Although my host Uncle Shen and Aunt Liu are both warm and friendly, it's definitely not like being at home, so I shouldn't be too extravagant!
So, after shopping, the two sisters stayed together for a long time and both felt a little tired.

It seems that Madam Liu is still in high spirits, and no one can cause trouble.

Then the two maids stuck their heads out and walked out of the house.

It is now midday, the sun is high in the sky and the weather is hot.

The two sisters were sweating slightly, and they saw two tall osmanthus trees in front of a corridor in the backyard. There was a gentle breeze under the trees, so they walked over there lightly, hoping to avoid the heat.

When the two of them arrived, a gust of wind blew up.
The fragrance of osmanthus is pleasant. Looking up, the osmanthus tree crowns cover the dome, shading the sun and gathering energy. It is truly refreshing and comfortable!

There is no better place to cool off in the summer!

So the two sides stopped and walked.
