Chapter 12 Excuse 2
"Don't worry, who doesn't have a difficult time? There is no obstacle that can't be overcome. You can rest assured to order me on this side. Cheng's shopkeeper first comforted Li Tian. Li Tian nodded slightly to show his gratitude. Sun Liu looked straight at Li Tian and said with a trace of excitement in his expression, "The owner's work is refreshing. Just tell me, where shall we start first?"
"The Huang family must have been appointed by Huang Liangyu, the only son of the shopkeeper of Huang. I heard that it was the messenger of Lizhou Road. The shopkeeper asked the official department to find out what kind of envoy Huang Liangyu was and who helped him ask for this appointment." Li Tian looked at the shopkeeper Cheng's order. The shopkeeper hurriedly nodded and agreed. Li Tian turned her head and looked at Sun Liu and ordered, "You have more things. First, carefully inquire about Huang Liangyu's whereabouts. From the day of grandma's death, you have seen anyone, where to go and what you have done, the more carefully the better. Second, pay attention to the six families in the capital. The movement of the shop and the shopkeeper, regardless of size, but there was a trace of unusualness, so he quickly reported it to me and handed it to the shopkeeper of Muji Soup Noodle Shop next to the Gongyuan.
"Yes!" Sun Liu answered loudly and simply. Li Tian looked at the two and said, "Be careful these days. We have to find the hand that secretly touched the Huang Da's shopkeeper, but we have to hide in the dark and can't let people pick it to the bright place, otherwise it's really difficult to do."
"Don't worry." Manager Cheng and Sun Liu solemnly responded. Li Tian motioned to Mother Xiong to hand over the cloak and put it on. She raised her head slightly and tied the cloak belt and said proudly, "Since someone wants to reach out, let's have a small test. It's not so easy to withdraw this outstretched hand!"
Sun Liu's excited eyebrows moved, and he gave a heavy promise. He bowed to the end. The worry in the manager Cheng's eyes suddenly diminished, as if he had a breath, with a smile on his face, bowed his hand respectfully, and sent Li Tian away from the door.
Li Tian and his party left Fanlou and found another hotel for lunch. Seeing that it was almost time, they got on the bus and went to Rong'antang Pharmacy, Li Tian's largest shop in the capital.
The shopkeeper of Rong'antang took Li Tian in, and the back yard of the medicine shop went to the room. The shopkeepers of the other five shops had arrived. They were either worried or thoughtful, or full of excitement and expectation. They watched Li Tian, dressed as a beautiful scholar, come in, unevenly or bowed their hands or bowed.
Li Tian glanced at several shopkeepers coldly, with a decent smile on his face, raised his hand and said, "You are welcome, shopkeepers." After saying that, she walked to the upper left and sat down. Mother Xiong and Cao's fourth daughter-in-law stood at the door of the upper room with one hand and one right, and Yue Niang stood upright behind Li Tian with her back.
"Please sit down." Li Tian raised her hand politely. The six shopkeepers gave in a few words and sat down separately. Li Tian saw the people sitting down and said calmly, "Please come here. There are two small things to tell. One is that the shopkeeper Huang sent a letter today to resign and left for Lizhou Road early in the morning."
Li Tian stopped talking and looked at the reactions of the people. The shopkeeper Wang lowered his head and sighed heavily. There was a strong surprise on the faces of the shopkeeper Zhao and the shopkeeper Qian next to him. They quickly exchanged a look. The other shopkeepers looked at the shopkeeper Wang and then at Li Tian, with a suspicious expression on their faces, as if they did not know whether to be surprised or Take a good sigh.
"The second small matter is that there will no longer be big shopkeepers in the future. You are all first-class shopkeepers in all walks of industry. Needless to say, if there is anything else, report to me. I will deal with it carefully. Everyone will add two from this month. " Li Tian went on. Several shopkeepers looked at Li Tian in surprise. They all knew earlier than her about Huang's resignation. They had more or less calculated who the new owner would let to take over the position of the big shopkeeper, but listening to Li Tian's intention, she did not intend to mention another big shopkeeper.
"Grandma drove the crane back to the west, and the shopkeeper Huang left in a hurry, and the end of the year is approaching. Please work harder these days, and worry more everywhere. After this year, I will thank you again." Li Tian was not going to be dumbfounded and stood up to say goodbye.
keeper Wang hurriedly led Li Tian to the corner door, looked left and right, looked at Li Tian and said in a low voice, "Dong, I heard that Huang Dalang got a messenger from Ningyuan County. I thought you already knew it. After this... There is someone behind, the owner should be careful."
"Thank you very much. I know. I've bothered you so much in the shop." A warm light flashed in Li Tian's eyes and bowed slightly to thank him. Manager Wang sighed gently and said, "Take care of yourself. People are the most important thing."
"Well," a smile appeared on Li Tian's face: "I wrote it down. Don't worry."
In the evening, Li Tian called Mother Xiong, Yue Niang, Cao's fourth daughter-in-law, Yingluo and Qingzhi in and briefly talked about Huang's resignation. Looking at the crowd and then said, "Now that there is no big shopkeeper, this year's account has to be handed over directly to us. Cao's fourth sister-in-law is in charge of the account. Qingzhi has a good calculation. You can give Cao's sister-in-law. After that, Yingluo took over the matter and sent it to me for disposal.
Cao's fourth daughter-in-law and Qingzhi and Yiluo hurriedly nodded and agreed. Mother Xiong was worried and said, "Five Lady, this can't be done without a big shopkeeper. We are all women. If something really happens, there is no one to show up."
"I know, but now I can only hold on first. Look at the other party's number of ways. As soon as I come up, I will lure Huang Zhongxian away. This is the way to capture the king first. If we propose a big shopkeeper, it is just a target for the other party. This big shopkeeper will either be bought by the other party or try to get rid of it. No matter what, we The situation can only be more difficult, and the two harms can be weighed against each other. Now, it is inconvenient. This is a trivial matter. Li Tian explained carefully.
"What kind of king is a big shopkeeper? I think this black hand is also a fool!" Yue Niang curled her lips and said, Li Tian didn't answer her words. She just turned her head and looked at Cao's fourth daughter-in-law and then ordered, "I'm afraid I have to bother Cao's fourth brother."
"How can you afford the trouble? The fifth lady just orders." Cao's fourth daughter-in-law quickly got up and answered. Li Tian continued, "Please go to Hangzhou first and bring a letter to your aunt. We have to entrust the shops in Lianghuai, Jiangnan, Fujian and Liangzhe to take care of them for a while, and then ask your aunt to send a safe stewunt to walk around the shops together and hand over the shops to their aunt. "
Cao's fourth daughter-in-law looked at Li Tian in a daze and did not dare to answer for a moment. She was the stewul of Li Tian's inner account. Except for the shopkeeper Cheng, the business next to her was under her. The shops around accounted for nearly 70% of Li Tian's industry, and she entrusted it to her aunt? This is too risky!
"That's it," Li Tian rubbed her eyebrows tiredly and was not ready to explain more: "Try to Sige Cao and ask him to travel day and night. I'm afraid the other party will arrange it on the day of grandma's death. We have been half a month late. Let him be as soon as possible."
"Good!" Cao's fourth daughter-in-law gritted her teeth and responded heavily. Li Tian motioned to Yingluo. Yingluo turned into the room and took a very ordinary indigo cloth bag and handed it over to Cao's fourth daughter-in-law.
"Is it all sewn up?" Cao's fourth daughter-in-law took over the burden and asked. Yingluo nodded and said, "Sewn several layers. Go back and add another layer of oil cloth to wrap a bag." Cao's fourth daughter-in-law agreed, carefully hugged the burden, got up and said goodbye, "Five Lady, then I will go back quickly and send Brother Shi's father to leave tonight."
"Hmm." Li Tian answered, and Qingzhi quickly raised the curtain and saw Cao's fourth daughter-in-law go out. Li Tian turned her head and looked at Mother Xiong and whispered, "The mother in this house bothers and stares at what's going on."
"Don't worry, five ladies." Mother Xiong hurriedly answered, "It's only been half a month. The fifth lady has lost a lot of weight. Don't worry too much. Anyway, the body is the most important thing. The old lady has always said so."
"I know it's getting late. You should also go back and rest early. Take care of everyone." Li Tian said with a smile. Mother Xiong agreed, stood up and out of the yard. She walked around the kitchen behind her before going out.
The next day, Sun Liu first had a letter. Sure enough, Huang Liangyu, the only son of the shopkeeper Huang, was appointed by the county magistrate of Ningyuan County, Lizhou. Several rich children who usually had sex with Huang Liangyu, were decocted him, but there was no letter next to him. A few days later, the shopkeeper Cheng came in person, and he found the writing this. The appointed official said that Huang Liangyu got this position because of the favor, but he had no way of knowing who invited this favor.
Sure enough, Li Tian stood in the porch wrapped in a cloak and looked at the tortuous and newly trimmed plum trees in the courtyard. Her heart was cold. Who else could there be in this black hand besides her?!
In the blink of an eye, it was the day of Mrs. Lin's funeral. Early this morning, Li Tian followed the vast funeral procession of Ningyuan Houfu and sent Mrs. Lin's coffin to Fayun Temple for temporary mail.
After the Dharma event in the evening, Li Tian did not follow him back. He borrowed a quaint five-entry house on the edge of Fayun Temple and said that he would stay for two days to accompany his grandmother.
Li Tian planned to tell Yu Yaofang and Lin Ke that Mrs. Xu could not rest assured that Li Tian would live alone outside the city and take Yu Yaofang to the house first in the morning and must stay with her for the past two days.
Lin Ke naturally wanted to follow Li Tian. With Mrs. Xu watching, Princess Jiang was very relieved. After a few words to Lin Ke, she got on the bus and hurried back. Although the literary meeting of Qingfenglou was dispersed, the literary meeting of Dongyang County Prince's Mansion was held again. This is the most important event. At this critical period, if the diet of the two sons is not close to her. If you hit your hand, you can't let go.
The next day, a trace of fish belly just appeared white. Li Tian had already served incense to her grandmother in Fayun Temple. She closed the door of the hall and came out. Yue Niang rushed to the hall leading to the back mountain and pouted and said, "People have arrived."
