Poor Family Chapter 211

  Chapter 211, The General

   Not only did Shi Yuhua know about the fact that Shi Fuxin was going to bring the Shi sisters to open a branch of Hongyanxiao, but also the other two married aunts.

  Shi Yuhua went back to the uncle's mansion, and Shi Yuwen and Shi Yuru arrived behind, both of them also brought their daughters.

  When they arrived at Yixiang Hall, they happened to see Shi Yuhua angrily pointing at Shi Fuxin, but Shi Fuxin smiled indifferently.

   Seeing the two concubines come back, Mrs. Shi rubbed her forehead wearily. Although Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Shi Qi had strange expressions on their faces, they were still calm, but Mrs. Shi Fifth was a little uneasy.

  There are only ten branches of Hongyanxiao, and if married aunts want to compete for the spot, then the girl from the family must choose to give up.

  The fifth house is a concubine, and it is impossible to compete for the first and seventh houses from the first son. At that time, the one who gives up will only be the girl of the fifth house.

   Mrs. Shi Wu regretted it to death at this moment, why did she go crazy and talk to Shi Yuhua just now? She finally knew what it meant to shoot herself in the foot.

   "Third Aunt, Sixth Aunt!"

  Shi Fuxin greeted Shi Yuwen and Shi Yuru with a smile, and said hello to the two cousins. As a lady of the family, she always felt that her etiquette was quite good in front of outsiders.

   "I haven't seen you come back to pay respects to father and mother on weekdays. Why are you back today?"

  Knowing that the two concubine sisters also came back for Hongyanxiao's opening of a branch, Shi Yuhua felt the crisis, put away her anger towards Shi Fuxin, and looked at the two of them with some eccentricity.

  Shi Yuwen and Shi Yuru didn't seem to have heard the sarcasm in Shi Yuhua's mouth. After greeting her, they took their daughter to greet Mrs. Shi.

  The two aunts had just returned, so Shi Fuxin couldn't leave immediately. It happened that she also wanted to see the choices of Mrs. Shi and the others, so she simply sat down again.

   "Cousin Xin, I heard that your confidante is going to open a branch?"

   While the three aunts and Mrs. Shi's four wives and daughters-in-law were chatting with each other, Shi Yuru's daughter Yuan Manting smiled and sat next to Shi Fuxin, and asked about Hongyanxiao's opening of a branch.

  Shi Fuxin glanced at Cousin Yuan in front of her, who had only grown her for a few months, and nodded with a smile: "That's right."

Yuan Manting looked at Shi Fuxin with a look of admiration and said: "Cousin Xin, you are really amazing, do you know that after your confidante smiled, I often visit there, but I'm not there for shopping, I'm going It depends on the flow of people."

"Hongyanxiao's business is really good. I counted carefully, and the number of people entering the store exceeds a thousand every day. This is not the place I admire the most. What I admire the most is that almost all the people who go in and buy something It has reached seventy to eighty percent."

   "I have watched my family do business since I was a child, and I have often visited Yuan's shop. I have never seen such a high turnover rate."

   "Cousin Xin, Hongyanxiao's business is so good, it's very wise for you to choose to open a branch."

   "If you want to open a branch, you will definitely need manpower. Can you choose me? Don't worry, I'm not a person who just sits and enjoys my success and doesn't know how to be grateful. When I make money in the future, I will do my best to repay you."

  Compared to Shi Yuhua who wanted to obtain the qualification to open a branch through blood relationship, Yuan Manting's direct and sincere words were far superior.

  At least for Shi Fuxin, she likes it.

   No, after hearing Yuan Manting's words, Shi Fuxin didn't directly refuse, and she didn't want Yuan Manting to fight for the spot with the girl from Shi's family as she wanted to respond to Shi Yuhua.

When Shi Yuru saw her daughter directly approaching Shi Fuxin about opening a Hongyanxiao branch, her heart tightened a bit. Although she didn't have much contact with her, but judging from Shi Fuxin's daring to embarrass her sister-in-law several times, she knew that this girl was not a good girl. Easy to talk to.

  But it never expected that Shi Fuxin would not shake her face after hearing what her daughter said.

  Shi Yuru suddenly remembered a sentence that her husband often talked about. Doing business with less brains, directness and sincerity are the most touching things.

   Could Man Ting really win the chance to open a branch?

  To be honest, before returning home, she never thought that they could really win the chance.

  The status of a concubine is enough for Shi Yuhua to oppress them for a lifetime.

   But even if there was no chance, she and Third Sister still came back.

Why?

  Because unwilling and dissatisfied.

  They are all married aunts, why should there be good things in the house, Shi Yuhua can only go, even if they can't get it, they will hate their aunt and sister.

  Yes, Shi Yuhua is the best married, but in terms of contribution to her natal family, she and her third sister have done no less than her.

  Yuan's family is in business, and during the holidays, which time has she not prepared a generous gift for the Shi family? Sometimes the government needs money turnover, and she never shirks.

  Even the Pan family, the third sister's in-law's family, helped the seventh brother a lot when he entered Qianji Academy as his teacher.

   On the other hand, the Wei family, apart from having a higher family background, has never done anything real for the uncle's mansion.

  The Pan family is a family of officials and eunuchs. Although the head of the family, Mr. Pan, is only a doctor in the Ministry of Rituals, he is the most respectful of rules, and he is very strict in the upbringing of the children and grandchildren in the family.

  When Shi Yuwen saw Yuan Manting taking the initiative to get close to Shi Fuxin, she hurriedly flirted with her reserved and quiet daughter Pan Yutong.

  Although Pan Yutong was a little embarrassed, he still got up and sat next to Shi Fuxin, blushing and said: "Sister Xin, the business of Confidante is so good, I'm very envious."

Well.

  Hearing her daughter's words, Shi Yuwen directly raised her hands and covered her face, not wanting to see anyone.

  My daughter is telling the truth, but you can't tell the truth.

   Before Yuwen could finish her annoyance, Pan Yutong said again: "Sister Xin, I'm engaged, but my grandfather is too clean, so I don't have much dowry."

   "I want to earn money, and I want to straighten my back at my in-law's house, can you help me?"

  Shi Qi's wife quickly glanced at Pan Yutong, her eyes flickering.

   Didn't see it, this girl Yutong seemed a bit shy and dull, never thought she was a beautiful and intelligent girl!

   From the chat between Man Ting and Sister Xin, it can be seen that Sister Xin likes straightforward people, and then directly expresses her true thoughts, and she can ask for help on her own initiative, which is even more rare.

  Seeing Shi Fuxin who was having a headache, Mrs. Shi Wu wanted to laugh a little. She felt as if she knew how to get along with this girl in the future.

  Sister Xin's temperament is that if you insist on her, she will be even tougher than you; if you take the initiative to show weakness, you may reap unexpected gains.

  Man Ting and Yu Tong are living examples.

   Mrs. Shi Qi can see it, and Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Shi can naturally see it too. Even Shi Yuhua has become thoughtful.

  The girls of the Shi family saw that Shi Fuxin did not directly reject Yuan Manting and Pan Yutong. Except for the seventh girl Shi Fulin, the fifth girl Shi Fuying, and the ninth girl Shi Fujing who were not worried at all, everyone else was a little nervous.

  Once the sixth younger sister (sixth sister) agrees to the two, if the number of branches is not increased, does that mean that one of them will lose the opportunity to open a shop?

   Just when the adults thought they had grasped Shi Fuxin's temperament, and thought that she would let go and add a few more branches, Shi Fuxin looked at Yuan Manting and Pan Yutong apologetically.

   "Two cousins, Hongyan smiled and opened a branch, and I didn't just want to make money."

As she said that, Shi Fuxin looked at Mrs. Shi and the others, "Since our family came to Beijing from the northwest, we have been relying on the mansion to take care of us. I opened a shop, and my grandmother and aunt gave a few servants. These, we The whole family is very grateful.”

   "I've always thought that although we are all blood relatives, if we blindly let the mansion only take care of our family, but we don't give anything in return, even the deepest relationship will fade."

  Hearing these words, the eyes of Mrs. Shi, Mrs. Shi, and Mrs. Shi Qi all flickered.

emotion?

  The second son (fourth brother fourth brother) family, how much relationship does it have with the mansion?

  Sister Xin's words are pointing at them, so you have to listen to them the other way around.

  The mansion did not actually help the family of the second son (fourth brother fourth brother), and the mansion relied on blood to maintain the relationship with them.

   "I am a daughter of the Shi family, so I should support each other with my sisters."

   "There are only ten branches of Hongyanxiao. According to my plan, the Shi family sisters will open one by themselves."

   "Now the three aunts and several cousins ​​also want to open it, I really don't know what to do."

   As she spoke, she looked at Mrs. Shi and the others with a smile, "Fortunately, there are grandma, aunt, fifth aunt, and seventh aunt at home. I am a junior, and everything is arranged by the elders."

   "There are only ten places. How to allocate them is up to you to discuss."

  Shi Fuxin stood up: "Grandma, I really have something to do over there, so I'll go back first."

  Old Madam Shi took a deep look at Shi Fuxin, said nothing, and waved her hand.

   It's a good thing to obey the elders' arrangement!

   Originally, it was the girls of the Shi family who opened the store. If she made the decision and gave the spots to a few cousin girls, the granddaughter of the family would hate her to death!

  This girl.

  When the old lady sighed heavily in her heart, the shrewdness was a headache.

   Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Shi Qi also looked at each other, and they could see helplessness in each other's eyes.

  I thought that Sister Xin was a soft eater, but I never thought that she would not eat soft sticks!

   "Fourth sibling, you don't talk about Guan Xin, you do the math yourself. How many times has she openly contradicted me as an aunt?"

  But Shi Fuxin couldn't help it, and she also knew that Mrs. Shi couldn't easily give herself the place of the girl from the Shi family, so Shi Yuhua had no choice but to find Jin Yuee here.

  If it was something else, she would not have come to take this anger, but it was about her daughter's future, so she had to humbly come to find this brother and sister of the mountain people whom she had always looked down upon.

  If the daughter opens a branch of Hongyanxiao, it will be much easier to say goodbye in the coming year.

  In today's female family circle in the capital, there is no one who doesn't know how to smile.

  Every time she goes to Hongyanxiao, she can meet some noble people that she can't get in touch with in normal life. This is the best place to make contacts.

  Not only can earn money, but also meet noble people, she must win the opportunity for her daughter to open a branch of Hongyanxiao.

   "Fourth sibling, you are talking."

  Before, Jin Yuee was a little afraid of this aunt, but with the development of her children and the daily teachings of her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, now she can be a noble lady freely.

   "Second sister, you also know that I am an ignorant woman. I don't understand anything, and I can't do anything. I can't help the children, so I won't interfere with the children's affairs."

"you"

  Looking at Jin Yue'e with a calm expression and a firm tone, Shi Yuhua was surprised to find that the fourth sibling, who she had always looked down upon, who was somewhat reserved, awkward, and out of place, seemed to have disappeared.

  Not only would she answer irrelevant questions, but she would also avoid the important ones and gag her with words.

   "In the past two years, your mother and sister-in-law have trained you very well." Shi Yuhua snorted with a mocking smile.

  Jin Yue'e was not annoyed, and nodded in agreement: "My mother and sister-in-law really helped me a lot."

  Shi Yuhua didn't want to beat around the bush anymore, and cut straight to the point: "Fourth brother and sister, my fourth brother and I are brothers and sisters of the same family. If you don't look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face, you can let sister Xin take my family Ruoxi to open a branch."

  Jin Yuee shook her head: "Second sister, your relationship with the head of the family has nothing to do with the children."

  When Shi Yuhua saw that she had reached this point, Jin Yuee didn't let go, and immediately became angry: "Do you have to go so far?"

Jin Yue'e looked at Shi Yuhua in confusion: "Too much? If you didn't do things according to the second sister's wishes, is it too much?" Then, she paused, "Second sister, do you still remember when we just returned to Beijing, you and our family The first meeting scene?"

   "Speaking of going too far, you were going too far then, right?"

  Shi Yuhua snorted and laughed out loud: "You really hate me."

  Jin Yue'e looked at her: "Shouldn't it? My sister Xin loves her father the most, but if you treated the head of the family like a big sister back then, sister Xin would respect you."

  Shi Yuhua was speechless.

  Jin Yue'e didn't want to tear her face apart either: "Second Sister, Didn't Sister Xin say that there are ten branches, you go and discuss with your mother, no matter how you allocate them, she will do it."

  Shi Yuhua laughed angrily, did she really think she couldn't see Shi Fuxin's sinister intentions?

  Even if she really forced her mother to allocate a quota to Ruoxi, then she and her natal family can be regarded as completely divided.

   "Okay, very good, Jin, I hope you won't have the day to ask me, let's wait and see!"

   Seeing Shi Yuhua leaving angrily, Jin Yuee let out a heavy breath.

  Mother Zhang saw her, and brought tea with a smile: "The fourth madam just dealt with it very well."

  Since Shi Dingxuan entered the palace and became the imperial guard, Zhang's mother has completely devoted herself to Jin Yue'e.

  Jin Yuee nodded her head and said, "I must be strong, and I cannot be easily manipulated by others. That would be too embarrassing for the head of the family and the children."

   "Fourth sister, can you stop for a while? You're walking around, making me dizzy."

   After the girls from the Shi family came out of Yixiang Hall, they came together to the gazebo in the back garden.

  Shi Fulin looked angrily at Shi Fuyao who was fidgeting, feeling that she had disgraced Da Fang.

  At that time, Fuyao was the concubine's daughter of the big house, and she was the fourth of the sisters. She has reached the age of 10 this year, and her aunt is already taking care of her.

  She is a concubine, and her aunt has no self-esteem. When she gets married, she will definitely not have much dowry.

  Sixth sister is willing to take them to open a branch, she is really happy from the bottom of her heart.

   With the reputation of the confidante in the capital, marrying into her husband's family in the future will not only earn money, but also contact the outside world through the concubine's smile, without being locked in the back house all the time.

  She really needs this opportunity too much.

  Shi Fuyao is a concubine of the big house, so it is not easy to refute Shi Fulin in public, but Shi Fuying of the seventh house has no such scruples, and directly said to Shi Fulin:

   "It's normal for the fourth sister and the others to be worried. You are the aunt's heart and soul, and you have a part in opening a branch, but the fourth sister and the others may not."

  Shi Fulin snorted: "Fortunately, you still claim to be smart on weekdays. There is nothing to worry about. With Sixth Sister's temperament, how could she let Cousin Wei get involved in the Hongyanxiao branch?"

   As he spoke, he hummed again.

   "Sixth sister is so smart. She said she let the grandma and the others decide, but do the grandma and the others have a choice? Isn't it clear at a glance which one is closer, the granddaughter or the biological granddaughter?"

  Shi Fu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly patted herself on the head: "Why didn't I figure this out?"

  Shi Fulin smiled triumphantly: "Fifth sister, you sometimes miscalculate." Then she looked at the worried concubines of the Shi family.

   "Grandmother is famous for protecting the Shi family, you should know this."

   "Even if you don't know this, you still don't know Sixth Sister's temperament? Considering her relationship with Second Aunt, do you think she will bring Cousin Wei to open a branch?"

   "Even the second aunt can't win the opportunity, let alone the third aunt and the sixth aunt."

   "Hey, you guys, your brains are not working."

  At that time, Flynn's temper was a bit arrogant and indulgent, and her sisters at home were somewhat dissatisfied with her, but today, everyone looked at her with extra gentle eyes.

Shi Fulin looked a little flustered: "Hey, although I don't like Sixth Sister very much, I still admire her. She seems to have left the choice to her grandmother, but in fact, what she really wants to express is, She has the final say on the girl's smile."

  After hearing this, Shi Fuying, who had figured it out, looked at Shi Fulin with admiration.

  Yes, when the grandmother called the sixth sister to Yixiang Hall to meet the second aunt, the sixth sister was already dissatisfied.

  Giving the right to choose to grandma is actually a punishment in disguise.

   One side is the biological granddaughter, the other side is the granddaughter. No matter which side you choose, the other side will definitely blame her.

  When Fulin saw that it was getting late, she stood up and said, "Okay, let's put our hearts in our stomachs, the branch of the beauty can only be opened by our sisters."

   As he spoke, he waved the branch brochure in his hand.

   "You have seen how tough Sixth Sister's methods are. Go back and memorize the contents of the manual. If we really violate the rules she set, she will really not let us continue to open the store."
