Chapter 1427

The North Street is full of people, but there are few shops around the corner.

Xiao Er dutifully stood at the door and saw two women in satin clothes passing by. He said, "two elder sisters, we have new jewelry in our shop. It's new in style and affordable."

The two children were twelve or thirteen years old, and the two women were thirty or forty years old. The two women were very happy to be called elder sister by him.

See two women some heart, small two busy said "two elder sisters, pass by must not miss, to miss will regret."

Two women entered the shop, and after a while, they came out with a happy face. Seeing this, Xiao Er knows that the business has been done.

Walking into the shop, the second child asked the shopkeeper, "what did the two elder sisters buy just now?"

The shopkeeper said, "they each bought a silver hairpin." Even if I bought the silver hairpin, I cut the price with him for half a day. It was almost sold at the cost price.

"Shopkeeper, you can't go on like this!" Opened a month, in addition to a few days ago there are big concessions, business is good. After that, there were no guests. It can be said that every day in the loss.

The shopkeeper is also very helpless, said: "I have told the owner, he said he would find a way." Youge'er didn't use his real name, but he changed his name to Han Jiajuan. The shopkeeper and Xiao Er don't know his real identity, but they just signed a contract.

Small two droops head to say: "shopkeeper, if don't think of a way again, afraid is the shop will close soon." The salary given by the owner is good. If you want to find another job, you won't get such good treatment.

The shopkeeper was very worried and said, "there's no way." In general, when you open a jewelry shop, the owner brings his own customers. Then the reputation spread and the business got better and better. But their owners, not to mention bringing guests, all showed up every other day.

Youge'er also worried that he had rented the shop for three years. In addition, the money for buying gold and silver and hiring craftsmen cost him almost everything. Now the business is so poor that if we don't find a way to solve it, all the more than two thousand taels of silver invested in the early stage will have to be wasted.

After thinking about it, youge'er had no choice but to ask Yuxi for help: "Niang, my shop is losing money. What can I do about it?"

Yuxi stopped and said with a smile, "ah you, you forgot what your parents said before?" As I said before, they don't object to your brother's business, but they won't offer any help.

Youge'er lowered his head and said, "Niang, if you go on like this, the shop will surely close. Mother, I owe my elder sister and elder brother a lot of money! "

Yuxi smile: "don't worry, jujube and liu'er won't urge you to pay back."

But with so much debt on his back, youge'er felt uneasy: "mother, will you help me this time?"

Yuxi shook his head: "since I told your father that I would not give you any help, I can't break my promise. Ah you, you still have to think of your own way about this! "

Youge'er has a bitter face.

In the twinkling of an eye, another half month has passed. The business of the shop is still not getting better, and you are worried to death. People who love to talk and laugh on weekdays always look sad now.

The first thing I can't help is Xuan Ge'er: "brother, this business is not done." Looking at you elder brother, he is in a bad mood!

"If we don't do it, we can't pay back the money we owe you." He will save more than 2000 liang of foreign debt for ten years even if he doesn't spend a cent.

Xuan Ge'er said: "brother, you don't have to pay back my 800 Liang silver." In order to support you Ge'er, Xuan Ge'er not only took out all the money he had saved these years, but also gave him all the red envelopes he got during the festival. Now Xuan Ge'er has no money on hand. Of course, ruige'er is the same as him. His money box is empty.

Youge'er shook his head and said, "that's not good. My mother often says that my brother knows what to do. I will pay you back what I owe you. But now I have no money. I owe it for the time being! "

Xuan Ge'er didn't argue with him. The money was given to you Ge'er, but he didn't plan to come back.

Cloud Qing also talked to jade Xi about you elder brother's affair: "when do you say this child can close that shop?" He is very reluctant to do business with you.

Yuxi can't smile: "if you let brother know what you think, I'm afraid it will be more depressed."

Without their support, you Ge'er's business will definitely lose money. Yunqing said: "business is not a proper industry. If he feels free, he will be given a job Rui Ge'er is now working in the guard, and you Ge'er can also get a job.

"Say it again!" With you Ge'er's temperament, he is determined not to work as an official in the Yamen.

Two days later, brother you went to the shop again. There are people in and out of every shop, but there is no one in their shop.

When I entered the shop, I saw the shopkeeper and sophomore dozing, but one was sitting in front of the counter dozing, the other was squatting at the foot of the door dozing. You elder brother son is angry not to be able: "on you this appearance, the guest enters the door to also be scared away by you."

After waking up, the shopkeeper and the second child quickly said, "little boss, it's not that we don't do errands. There are really no guests." At first, the sophomore was yelling at the door all the time, but half a month later, there was no effect, and his throat was hoarse. In this way, he will not have the strength.

You elder brother son endured gas, asked the shopkeeper: "the business is always so bad is not a matter, do you have a good way?"

The shopkeeper glanced at Yu Si brocade robe on you Ge'er's body and whispered, "master, you can ask your sisters to bring people to buy things." In fact, in business, especially in jewelry business, the first thing to do was to solicit customers. When it comes to fame, it will not worry.

If his second sister comes here to buy things, her identity will not be revealed in a day. He made a pact with his parents. If he broke his promise, he would close the shop.

"You Ge'er said:" this can't, my sister they are not at home, went to the field

The shopkeeper also asked about youge'er's identity. All he knew was that he was the Han family in the capital, and the most prominent Korean Gong in the Han family had left the family. Any more, it's not clear.

Small two said: "master, is not a small crow mouth, go on like this shop will have to close."

You elder brother son a listen to words, know this kid has an idea: "have what good idea, just say."

"It's fashionable to wear jade ornaments in the capital now. If the owners do jade business, they will surely make money." Gold and silver shops sell gold and silver jewelry, and their workmanship is only average. Without the convenience of identity, you can't find a skilled master. Rich people look down upon the things of this jewelry shop. Those who have no money can't afford to buy them.

You elder brother son asked shopkeeper: "do you think this business can do?"

The shopkeeper hesitated and said, "master, because the empress and the second princess like to wear jade ornaments, this has brought a trend in the capital. But ordinary people still like gold and silver jewelry. "

The preference and behavior of the superior directly affect the people below. This word jade Xi often says to a few children, this meeting you elder brother son finally understood.

After a pause, the shopkeeper said, "but if you can find a good jade master and have good materials, you can certainly earn money." A jewelry shop doesn't even have a piece of jewelry in the town shop. What it says is shabby.

You elder brother son hesitated to say: "allow me to consider."

From the second day, you Ge'er left the palace at noon every time, and then came back in the dark.

Liu Er asked Xuan Ge'er: "what is ah you doing these days? Why can't I make it to dinner every day? "

Xuan elder brother son shakes head: "I don't know, ask him also don't say." It's too hard to do business.

Liu Er is a little worried and says to Yu Xi, "Niang, don't let ah you do business! Since doing business, I feel like brother ah you has changed his personality. "

"Let him suffer setbacks!" Living under the wings of him and Yunqing all his life, the child never knows the cruelty outside.

Liu er said anxiously, "I'm afraid he will change his disposition." If the business fails, youge'er will not be able to make a profit.

Yuxi said with a smile: "don't worry, Qiyou is not the one who can't afford to lose. What's more, I can't bear such a setback. What can I do in the future? "

A person's energy is limited, even if you Ge'er is smart, but his mind is on business, so his studies will not be taken into account.

Mu Jingsi punishes you Ge'er twice. Seeing that it doesn't work, he can only tell Yuxi.

Called you elder brother son to come over, jade Xi asks a way: "at the beginning is how to promise with me and your father?" That day you brother son but vowed that he would never delay his studies, Yuxi this just agreed to let him do business.

You elder brother son some shame: "Niang, this shop business is not good, I am really separate body to lack skill now."

Afraid that Yuxi would ask him to shut down the shop, youge'er said, "Niang, I lost so much money that I have to earn it back."

Yuxi leaned back on the chair and asked, "then you give me a deadline." It's better to focus on one thing than to focus on both ends, and then both ends can't do well.

"Mother, give me another three months." If it doesn't improve by then, he will have to admit it.

Yuxi nodded and said, "good! I'll give you three months. In these three months, you don't have to go to the study. "

You elder brother son smell speech greatly happy: "know Niang is best." He must start his business so as not to waste his mother's support.

Cloud Qing knows this matter later facial expression is very ugly: "is study important, still do business important?"

Yuxi said with a smile: "you Ge'er started at the age of three and studied with him at the age of six. After seven years of study, I have learned almost everything in class. "

Yun Qing was so depressed that he said, "you elder brother is only a few years old. Do you say he doesn't need to study? Who says there is no limit to learning? " Because of Yu Xi's words, he has to read books in his spare time. Of course, it's hard to get used to it at first, but I don't seem to reject it.

Yuxi patiently explained: "he didn't say he didn't need to study, but he didn't need to study with his husband any more. Let him go outside to experience, and only when he knows that people are dangerous can he really grow up. " Those officials are more cunning. No matter how clever you are, if you are a piece of paper, you will not be their opponent in politics.

Cloud Qing listened to the explanation of jade Xi, doubt a way: "three months time, enough?"

"Having money and no support, and being a child of half age, is not the fat in some people's eyes." There are good people in the world, but there are also many evil people.

Cloud Qing listened to this words, say: "the person that protects secretly must add one time again." Otherwise he would not be at ease.

Although the six children lay particular stress on Qihao, the other five are also his treasures, and there is no room for any mistakes.

Yuxi nodded with a smile.

Yun Qing thought and said: "Rui Ge'er is in the guard, you Ge'er is also doing business outside. What about Xuan Ge'er?" Qihao studied with mu Jingsi in the morning and worked as a clerk in the Department of household in the afternoon. Yuxi has promised that when he is familiar with all the procedures of the six yamen, he will help deal with part of the government affairs.

Yuxi jokingly said: "Xuan Ge'er is determined to become a university student, so let him study at ease."

"I'm afraid he'll become a nerd if he goes on like this! You see their brothers talking together. Xuan Ge'er is always a little slower. " If you don't think of a way to change this situation, Xuan Ge'er will be a nerd in the future.

Yuxi also noticed this, thought about it and said, "what do you think of sending him to the academy? There are so many people in the academy that they can learn from each other. " You can't build a car behind closed doors.

This method is good, cloud Qing asked: "then send him to the white sandalwood Academy." Baitan academy is the largest and best Academy in Beijing.

Yuxi nodded: "yes."

"Let him change his identity just like you." It is more pure to study in the academy as an ordinary person.

Yuxi nodded with a smile and said, "yes. If you don't go to the Academy, you can't use your real name. " Most of the people studying in Baitan academy are the children of officials. These people are well informed. With their real names, they're sure to find out soon.

Yun Qing was a little surprised: "are you going to send him to Baitan academy now?"

Yu Xi smiles and shakes his head: "in the spring, there will be an exam in the white sandalwood Academy. If you pass the exam, you can enter. In the spring of next year, let him pass the exam and enter the white sandalwood academy

In the twinkling of an eye, more than two months have passed. Although you elder brother son didn't say anything, but just see he slightly relaxed look, Yuxi knew that the jewelry shop business had improved. But you elder brother son doesn't take the initiative to mention, jade Xi also didn't ask.

This day liu'er went to find Yuxi and said something to her: "Niang, the painting in ah you's study is gone."

Yuxi asked, "I remember the painting of Jiangfan Pavilion by Li sixun in his study." Li sixun's paintings are extremely extraordinary. Most of his paintings depict magnificent palaces and pavilions and strange and beautiful natural mountains and rivers.

You Ge'er is an authentic eater, not very interested in calligraphy and painting antiques. But the study was also ugly, so Yuxi chose this painting of Li sixun for him.

Liu Er nodded and said, "yes! Mother, how do you deal with this? " I'm sure the palace man didn't have the courage to steal the painting. Now the painting is gone. It can only be that brother you took it by himself. So she can't handle it.

Yuxi thought about it and said, "you don't know about it." Make out let cloud Qing know, afraid is to be angry again.

Liu er said anxiously, "mother, will ah you take the painting to pay back the money?" A painting is nothing. Her family doesn't lack such a painting. But if brother you really took the painting for money, it would be a big deal.

Yuxi nodded: "you don't have to worry, I'll deal with it."

PS: more tomorrow.
