025 Encounter

Mother Qi happened to come back with Xie Yun. Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was very good, she also laughed and said, "Our brother Yun led the errands to the He family in the west of the city and the Huang family, and we will go as soon as the rain stops tomorrow. The wife asked if grandma was better? Let me bring two bags of big wolfberries from Ningxia to let grandma make tea and drink on weekdays.

Huang Shi glanced at the two bags in her hand and said lightly, "Let it go." While waing his hand to Xie Yun, he asked about his homework.

Xie Wan saw that the rain had stopped outside, so he got up and said goodbye. Huang left a meal, and she said, "My brother told me not to cause trouble to my third aunt. I'll come to see you tomorrow."

Huang praised the good child a few times and asked the maid Haosheng to send her back.

Xie Wei sent it to the threshold and came back. She returned to the bed and said to Huang Shi, "How did my mother know that someone was there before she talked to Mother Qi in private? Just now, when my third sister and I were sleeping in the inner room, I heard it clearly! Fortunately, she fell asleep and didn't hear it.

Huang Shi smiled and said, "What can she understand when she hears? Why are you so careful?" After saying that, he was silent for a moment, but he couldn't help nodding: "That's what you said. This child is too shrugal. Whether it's in front of me or in front of my wife, it's simply that people can't pick out anything wrong, and it's just a little less alert."

Xie Wei said, "Mother, you don't have to think too much about it. It's important to recuperate. I'm not a villain. She's only five years old. When I was five years old, I didn't know what shyness was! Where can I know what is right and wrong? It's just that my father often taught me to be defensive, and I just do things to prepare for a rainy day.

Huang smiled and patted the back of her daughter's hand: "Good girl. Your father is good at everything, and your children are also good at it.

Xie Wei rushed into her arms and said with a smile, "Mother's contribution is indispensable!"

After two more days of rain, it cleared up. The winter sun poked out of the clouds and cheered people's spirits.

The buddies in the house began to deliver pastries to the neighboring mansions. This is a local traditional custom. Every year before the Laba Festival, each family will make some cakes and snacks, which will be given to each other with relatives and friends for auspicious celebration.

Xie Lang also went, even if the Wang family didn't tell him, he also went to his uncle's house to give gifts. Because the Ren family and the Qi family are in Nanyuan County together, Xie Lang is with Xie Tong, who went to Ren's family. But because he still has to go to Yang's mother's house, Yang's house, he has to stay at his uncle's house for a day, and then go to the Yang family before he can come back.

Xie Lang asked Xie Wan if he wanted to go to see his uncle and aunt together, but Xie Wan said that he was suffering from the wind and cold because he couldn't get rid of his body, and he would wait until the Spring Festival.

Luo Sheng just bought a batch of winter goods from Hejianfu the day before yesterday, just in time for the sale before the end of the year. The two guys in the shop were cleared by him. Seeing that they could not muddle through, they were also shocked. They had no money for the Spring Festival. They immediately expressed their willingness to work for another three months, only to get the deducted salary to get through the New Year.

Xie Wan is not a person with no room. When he found out that their family was really not rich, he agreed with them, but Luo Sheng was worried. In the past two days, he sat in the shop in person and never let them have another chance to be lazy.

The shop in Huangshi Town is still looking for. Now I have hired Mrs. Mei, who used to be a cook for the house, to hire someone, saying that there will be news in the past few days. Originally, I also thought about hiring a few young boys, but after thinking about it, it might be more convenient to have a woman who can speak in the countryside, so I entrusted this sister-in-law Mei.

Xie Wan's first task in front of him is to find a few useful people.

In fact, those millionaires with dozens or hundreds of shops do not necessarily have subordinates in each of their shops. Most of them are led by two or three big shopkeepers, and then there are two shopkeepers and three shopkeepers below.

The second and third shopkeeper is appointed and selected by the big shopkeeper, or identified by the owner. In short, the owner only looks at the account book and the actual income every year. If the income is good, the money is made a lot. As for whether there is also a phenomenon of greed below, but as long as you can't catch the handle and

A big shopkeeper is a figure equivalent to a leader in the whole business. Such a shrewd and capable talent is not said to have it. It will take a year or twenty for a business to cultivate a big shopkeeper. Outsiders can't dig it away easily, and they will not easily abandon the city themselves.

Originally, she also wanted Luo Sheng to be the big shopkeeper of these five shops, but after getting along with each other these days, she found that he was loyal and down-to-earth, but he was not smart enough. It was okay to manage one or two shops, but if all five shops were put in his hands, it would be very difficult.

What's more, Xie Wan's goal is not only the current five shops, so from now on, she must cultivate one or two people.

But where can I find such a person?

She said to the people around her, "There will be people in the shop soon. If you know more organic boys, bring them to me."

Everyone obeyed the order of the only three girls. This word soon spread. Wu's mother and Yu Xueyin Lock immediately took the letter back to the countryside and asked those relatives to help inquire. Luo Sheng wrote home a long time ago and asked his wife to let his relatives on both sides find it. The Luo family is in Wanquan County, next to Nanyuan County. Xie Wan only knows that Luo Sheng's mother and mother-in-law live at home. His wife takes care of the elderly and children alone. She is very virtuous, but she has never seen them.

So in the past few days, Xie Wan has been waiting for a letter in the room, and even his uncle's family can only be ruthless for the time being.

After practicing calligraphy for a while in the evening, the sun was setting outside. Thinking that Xie Lang would not come back today, I couldn't help but feel a little bored.

Yu Xue saw it and said, "I heard that the third young master's carriage is back. The girl should go out less. It's better to go to the wind courtyard and listen to the funny things outside."

Xie Wan has been in this world for 30 years. He has seen everything he should have seen, and he has no novelty about it for a long time.

But it's good to go out for a walk. I'm stuffed in the house all day, not like a little girl of active age.

Yuxue gave her a moon-white smoke satin vest decorated with fur edges on her emerald brocade jacket, then combed her buns, wore pearl flowers made of rice-sized pearls, and served her out.

As long as I got out of the yard, I saw a half-height boy standing under the shadow wall of the hanging flower gate in the west-cross yard, wearing a sky-blue silk brocade robe, embroidered with a piece of beautiful jade hanging on the belt of the sniper, and a small oval jasper with ink hair on his head.

Just as he was about to raise his foot and turn up the road to the wind yard, the boy saw her and said, "This sister doesn't seem to have seen it?"

Who is his sister? It's quite familiar. But since they said hello, of course it's not good to leave like this. Xie Wan turned around and said, "I haven't seen you either."

The boy smiled warmly, looked at her for a while and said, "I guess you are the third girl of the Xie family, right? I haven't been to Xie's house for a long time, but I've heard of you.

There are many families who have a friendship with the Xie family. This time, the young masters went to the house to deliver pastries, except for relatives, there were as many as 15 households. Xie Wan really couldn't guess which one he was.

However, no matter who he is from, he seems to have nothing to say.

She nodded and said, "I'm Xie Wan. You are--"

Before I finished a sentence, I heard a "ah" scream from behind the shadow wall, and then a figure rolled down the rear stone ladder.

"Second sister!"

The boy was stunned, and then rushed over quickly. Xie Wan paused and saw that it was Xie Qi, so he walked over.

Xie Qi got up from the ground awkwardly and pouted at Xie Wan and the boy.

"Why are you here?" The boy asked in surprise and went to pat the dust on her back.

Xie Qi said, "I heard that you were waiting for Brother Yun here, so I wanted to hide here to scare you. I didn't expect you to run to talk to your third sister again. As soon as I didn't pay attention, I fell down." With that, she lowered her head, picked up her sleeves and looked at it. She put two bruises on her wrist in front of the boy: "Brother Jun, look! It's because you fell down. If Uncle Ren sees it, she will feel sorry for me again!"

Uncle Ren? - Ren Jun?!

Xie Wan was shocked and blurted out, "Are you Ren Jun, the third son of the Ren family?"

When Ren Jun heard this, he couldn't help letting go and turned around happily, "So the third sister knew me?"

Xie Wan looked at him with a spring breeze in front of him, and his heart surged like a tide for a moment.

Yes! She should have thought that she could stand freely in the Xie family's house without a servant, and there would be no one else except the people of the family.

In her previous life, she had never seen the third son, so she let the adults be engaged and divorced. She was tricked by the family, so that it affected her whole life's marriage. In the end, she had a reputation of both talent and beauty, but no one paid attention to her until she died at the age of 30. Unexpectedly, I didn't have anything to do with him in this world, but I met him like this again!

She restrained her thoughts and looked at Xie Qi, whose eyes were clinging to him.

Xie Qi is eight years old and knows a little about the world. She remembered that after Ren's family divorced her marriage to her in the previous life, Ren Jun's eldest brother-in-law Zeng secretly became a matchmaker and married the daughter of Zhukang, a member of the Ministry of War. As for his own future, he forgot that he had nothing to do with Xie Qi. Xie Qi later seemed to have married a poor scholar. He lived a miserable life and often looked up to Xie Rong and his wife.

She originally only said that Xie Qi was just wayward and not in line with her own temper. It turned out that she actually had her own scheming. As Xie Qi, if you climb up to Ren Jun, who has great expectations by Mr. and Mrs. Ren, wouldn't it be of great benefit to Xie Hong's family?

When Xie Wan was meditating, Ren Jun was also looking at her with great interest.

Xie Qi coughed with dissatisfaction, and Xie Wan's eyes flashed slightly and came to his senses.

"I did hear about the third son several times from the fourth brother." She replied briefly. Then he looked at the direction of the third room and said, "I have to go to the third room to find the eldest sister, so I'll go first."

There was nothing to say in the first place, but now that I know his identity, I have nothing to talk about.

Ren Jun hurriedly said, "The third sister is easy to go."
