MTL - Traveling Through Ancient Times To Be a Shopkeeper-Chapter 73

Ren Nianluo was lying on the stone table in the yard, his thoughts wandering outside.

He got a lot of lucky money during the Chinese New Year, with more than a dozen taels, so he would go to Baizhenlou to buy candies from time to time. Baizhenlou candies are all limited in purchase, and he may not be able to buy them later, and the toffee is out of stock.

He went to buy toffee, the shopkeeper recognized him, and he was warmly received when he heard that he wanted to buy toffee. He also said that Master Lei had told him that if he came to Baizhen Building to buy toffee and there was no stock in the warehouse, he would go to the workshop to get it. Sell ​​it to him.

He went several times, and he could buy toffee, and... three times, he met the man named Lei Ye. It turned out that his name was Wei Lei.

I heard that Baizhen Building is owned by his good brother Wei Cheng, so he has the opportunity to work in Baizhen Building. The monthly silver is dozens of taels, not to mention not much, he still has a few hundred taels a month. Dividend...

They chatted twice, and Wei Lei invited him to drink flower and fruit tea, eat egg yolk crisps, eat preserved fruit, eat toast with jam, and eat stew pot... It doesn't cost money, only milk candy Half of the time, he can make a few more trips to Baizhenlou to buy toffee.

Ren Nianluo blushed without knowing it.

Other than his aunt, this was the first time anyone treated him so well!

Third Auntie looked at her brother lying on the stone table. These days, her brother often went out to buy toffee and she didn't stop her. That's what her brother likes.

"Nian'er, aren't you going out today?"

Third Yiniang approached and saw her brother's cheeks were rosy, a smile appeared in her eyes, her brother's face was flushed, which showed that he was in a good mood, it seemed that her brother really didn't take matters of the Zeng family to heart.

Third aunt didn't know that her brother was blushing because of thinking about things.

"mother......"

When Ren Nianluo saw San Yiniang sitting down, he called her mother, and San Yiniang's heart was so soft that her brother would call her mother involuntarily if he had to be coquettish or had something unhappy.

As a rule, she can only be called Auntie.

When she was young, her brother loved to call her mother. She was very satisfied, but she couldn't break the rules of the house. She could only stop her, fearing that she would be punished if she indulged in the habit of shouting in front of others.

Third aunt asked softly: "What do you want to tell mother?" Third aunt was as gentle as water, with a calm temperament.

"Mother, I want to ask..." Ren Nianluo said, not knowing how to ask, as if it was wrong to ask, they just get along like friends, what do you want to ask? Ren Nianluo didn't know what to ask, so she changed the subject, "Mother, did the egg yolk crisps I brought back last time taste good? If you like them, I'll buy them tomorrow."

Brother just bought two egg yolk pastries, instead of buying a box, Baizhen Building has loose cakes for receiving distinguished guests. If he wants to buy them in the future, he can buy them alone. This is Wei Lei's responsibility.

"Mother has been away for a long time, and mother will accompany you to buy someday." Third aunt really likes the cakes bought by her brother. Like to eat food, the third aunt is not immune.

"Well, let's go together." Ren Nianluo happily agreed.

The third aunt did not forget the purpose of coming to her brother and said: "Nianer, the Zeng family's marriage was robbed by the fourth aunt, and the master agreed. Originally, the marriage was found by the madam for you, and the madam felt very sorry. Now I want to make up for it." You, find some good families for you, my aunt also heard that the family conditions of these families are not as good as the Zeng's family, but their character is good, in a few days, the two sides will make an appointment to meet at home."

Ren Nianluo was completely stunned. His mother and mother wanted to arrange a marriage for him. He would agree to it before, but now he feels very repulsive.

Third Yiniang said again: "Your father will return home in the afternoon, and have a family dinner in the evening, so don't run out."

"Okay, I, I got it, mother." Ren Nianluo lost his mood, so he replied, and after San Yiniang left, he became dazed again.

what happened to him? !

Ren Nianluo couldn't figure it out, so he just sat there all afternoon, until San Yiniang asked the maid to inform him to go to the main hall for dinner.

The Ren family ate at two tables, one for the elders and one for the younger, and the fifth girl who married the Zeng family also returned to her mother's house, as if to inquire about news.

The members of the Ren family were pale outside, and the eldest and young master of the Ren family who went out to do business with his father had a look of embarrassment on his face. The members of the Ren family did not dare to say anything while eating and drinking.

The fifth girl married to the Zeng family, the daughter of the fourth aunt frowned and bit her lip, seeing the expressions of his father and elder brother, the business must have failed. The Zeng family asked her to come over to find out the news. Just choose to cooperate with other merchants.

She just married into the Zeng family, so what status does she have in the Zeng family?

The fourth aunt is also worried about her daughter's status. She gave birth to a son, who is still young. In the Ren family, the two sons born to the wife can be independent, and they are both excellent. She has to stabilize her daughter's status in the Zeng family. support.

The fourth aunt was favored, and no matter how favored she was, she could not be more favored than Mrs. Ren.

Mrs. Ren asked: "Master, what problems did you encounter this trip?"

Ren Yuanwai and his eldest son went out to discuss business after the Chinese New Year. When they went, they were confident, but they never thought about going out for more than a month and came back, so their faces were ugly.

Member Ren put down his chopsticks, unable to eat: "With the largest partner of the Ren family, the cooperation between the two companies should not be possible this year."

Hearing this, Mrs. Ren showed a worried look: "Well, the New Year's gift was a good talk in the past, why did you go back on it this New Year, master, is there something dissatisfied with the other party?"

The Ren family's business is scattered, and the scattered businesses do not make much money. The only business that earns the most money is the cooperation with the wealthy businessman in Fucheng. If the cooperation fails this year, the Ren family's income will be reduced.

This cooperation was intercepted, and after that, there may be no cooperation every year.

When it comes to this employee, his face is even more ugly. It was originally a certain business, but Cheng Yaojin suddenly appeared to grab the business

The gift from the other party won the heart of the rich businessman's wife. The rich businessman owed his status and wealth to his wife. He would still listen to the rich businessman's wife, not to mention the trivial matter of changing partners.

Ren Yuanwai still found out the ins and outs of the matter, the other party did not know how to order a batch of annual gifts from Baizhen Building, and he went to Fucheng to find out.

The goods of Baizhenlou are really hard to find in the imperial city. The isinglass, lamps, handmade soap brought back by the rich merchants from the imperial city... are spread among the upper-class families in Fucheng. Using.

At first he thought it was the products of the Imperial City, but later he found out that the products of the Imperial City and the Baizhen Building were the same, so he hurried back with his eldest son to see if he could buy the products of the Baizhen Building. He realized that even if there was a supply of commercial goods, it would be a month or two late, and if it was a month or two late, his business would be ruined.

Mrs. Ren said: "Although Baizhenlou's products are limited, you can still buy some. Is this not enough?"

"I bought one box or two boxes, how can I give it away? This is a gift for the cooperative businessman. I have ten boxes and eight boxes, and I have to have several styles. If I can buy fish gelatin, high-quality aromatherapy and handmade soap, and The most difficult to buy toffee, the children of rich merchants like toffee the most, and I also found out that those who compete with me for business can't buy isinglass and toffee." Ren asked: "Madam, do you know me? Mrs. Shaofu's back house, can anyone have a VIP card?"

Mrs. Ren looked puzzled: "What VIP card?"

Ren Wai explained: "The VIP card is limited. If you have that golden VIP card, you can get priority in ordering products at Baizhen Building."

For Baizhenlou products, in addition to having a VIP card to give priority to ordering products, there are also several famous families in Nanshan County who have the privilege to reserve products first.

The famous family is not something that he, a businessman in the inner city, can get in touch with. If he can get in touch with the famous family, why does he need to cooperate with that rich businessman in Fucheng.

Seeing the master's expectations, Mrs. Ren still told the truth: "... probably not." During the Chinese New Year gathering to drink tea, those wives complained that they could not buy the goods of Baizhenlou, and lost a lot of face .

Master Ren didn't have much expectations at first, so he didn't know what to find, so he went to Baizhen Building to place an order.

Fourth Aunt and her daughter secretly exchanged glances, both anxious, worried about the Zeng family's reaction when they found out.

Everyone else stopped their chopsticks and did not dare to say anything.

Ren Nianluo stopped his chopsticks when he looked at it, his beautiful big eyes rolled around, he had a Baizhenlou gold card, would it be the same as the VIP card his father said, he hesitated, wanted to say but was afraid of it.

His eyes sneaked around. His father treated him and his third aunt well, and his mother was fair and strict. The elder brother treated his younger brothers and sisters like a bowl of water. He didn't want the family business to be hit.

Ren Nianluo thought for a while, but still chose to say, he didn't dare to tell his father, so he said to his elder brother at the same table, "Brother, I have a golden Baizhenlou card in my hand, I don't know if it is the VIP card my father wanted. "

"Brother Nian, do you really have a Baizhenlou VIP card?!"

The voice of the young master of the Ren family, no, everyone heard it.

Ren Nianluo: "..." Brother, you can't keep your voice down, you're not sure if it's true, but you shouted out in surprise, if not, wouldn't you be scolded!

The officer asked anxiously, "What's the matter? Who do you say has a VIP card? Is it true?"

Young Master Ren pointed to Ren Nianluo: "Brother Nian has a VIP card for Baizhen Building."

"..." Ren Nianluo shrank his neck when everyone looked at him: I never said that.

Mrs. Ren frowned, and her tone was serious: "Brother Nian, tell mother that you really have a Baizhenlou VIP card? This matter is very important, you can't talk nonsense!"

Mrs. Ren's expression became serious, and Ren Nianluo became timid. If he knew that he shouldn't say it now, if he wanted to say it, he would talk to his elder brother in private, and he would not face everyone's eyes. He was also afraid that this gold card was not a VIP card. , his aunt might be scolded by his mother, and he might be fined to think behind closed doors.

"me......"

"Master, madam, Nian'er must be talking nonsense. How could he have a Baizhenlou VIP card for a young brother? Perhaps the young master misunderstood." Third aunt watched her brother shrink his neck, worried that he would be punished , hurriedly smooth things over.

The fourth aunt's sarcasm followed, and her voice was charming: "Master, Madam doesn't have a VIP card for Baizhen Building, and Nian Luo is just a concubine, so it's possible that his wife has a VIP card. It must be that Brother Nian is eager to show a lie Yes. The third aunt is also true. She doesn’t even know how to discipline a brother. This person will make up lies after telling lies. After marrying someone else, lying in front of her husband’s family, she still doesn’t lose us as the head of the family. Discipline will do."

There are traps inside and outside the words, if Ren Nianluo can get the VIP card, it will be a slap in the face of Madam Ren. Knowing that people are lying, Ren Nianluo will become a bad character if he tells a lie, and he will be punished and disciplined.

The fourth aunt is bright and beautiful, and she and the third aunt entered Ren's mansion one year apart. She is bright, charming and charming, and won the favor of Ren Wai. Mrs. Ren doesn't want Ren Wai to spoil the charming fourth aunt, so she must favor the third aunt, The third aunt is gentle and caring, and all the staff dote on her. Mrs. Ren arranges in many ways, and both the third aunt and the fourth aunt are pampered.

The fourth aunt did not like the third aunt because of this, she was the latest to enter the mansion, and she had to respect and call her elder sister in front of people she didn't like, and she didn't like the third aunt even more. Later, one gave birth to a brother and the other gave birth to a daughter. The daughter she gave birth to was even more loved by Ren Yuanwai, and then the fourth aunt gave birth to a son, the young master of the Ren mansion, the fourth aunt was able to surpass the second aunt, and still became the second mistress of the Ren mansion.

At the beginning, Ren Nianluo's marriage was because she fell in love with the young master of the Zeng family, but this was the marriage that Mrs. Ren had arranged for Ren Nianluo, so she tried every means to **** the marriage and marry her daughter.

The fourth aunt doesn't like the mother and son of the third aunt, whenever she can hit each other, she will not let it go.

As long as Third Aunt's mother and child are not doing well, she feels at ease.

"Master, madam, Nian'er, isn't he..."

San Yiniang's eyes were full of anxiety, and she wanted to intercede for her brother, but Ren Wai interrupted her, and asked her brother with a serious expression: "Brother Nian, your elder brother said that you have a Baizhenlou VIP card, is it true? ?”

Ren Nianluo: "I..."

Third Aunt: "Master..."

"Third Aunt, shut up, the master's asking questions, there are no rules." Mrs. Ren reprimanded Ren Wai when she saw the impatient look on her face.

Mrs. Ren glanced at San Yiniang and gave her a comforting look, and San Yiniang stabilized her mind and stopped asking any further questions.

Compared to Si Yiniang's calculations, Mrs. Ren's complexion is still the same as usual. She is the wife of Ren's family. She doesn't understand Si Yiniang's character. Mrs. Ren's eyes flashed ridicule. Card, the mother and son of the third aunt are those who have contributed to the Ren family. On the contrary, she is happy to see her success, and she can take this opportunity to suppress the fourth aunt. My aunt is comfortable.

The third aunt only has one brother to rely on, and when the brother gets married, the Ren family is the two mothers and sons to rely on, and they will not hinder her in any way.

The fourth aunt is favored by the master, if her son becomes a talent, he may try to take her benefits in the future.

Mrs. Ren has no means, how can she be the matriarch of the Ren family.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone in the Ren family, Ren Nianluo took out a golden card from his purse. The golden card was engraved with the words "Baizhen Building", and there was a code in the lower right corner of the card. The code was registered. The registration information can be found out according to the code to determine the identity.

Ren Yuanwai and Young Master Ren had seen the VIP card before, and this was the card shown to him by the treasurer of Baizhenlou. Ren Yuanwai said excitedly, "Yes, this is the Baizhenlou VIP card!"

Young Master Ren quickly took over and handed the gold card to the member.

Ren Yuanwai and Young Master Ren looked happy.

other people:"......."

Damn! Ren Nianluo really has a Baizhenlou VIP card! !

But, how could he have the VIP card of Baizhenlou? ! !

The fourth aunt's mother and daughter's expressions were cracked, and they looked at the expressionless Mrs. Ren quietly, thinking of something, they didn't look worried anymore, it's still good to be able to resist Mrs. Ren and the others.

They said that Mrs. Ren would not pay attention, she purposely remained expressionless to show the mother and daughter of the fourth aunt, so that they would mistakenly think that she would be dissatisfied with the mother and child of the third aunt, and would definitely trouble the mother and son of the third aunt in the future.

snort! You are bound to be disappointed!

Not only will she not suppress people, but she will even improve San Yiniang's status in Renfu!

Mrs. Ren showed a kind smile: "Brother Nian, tell mother, why do you have the VIP card of Baizhen Building? Could it be that you went shopping in Baizhen Building when Baizhen Building opened?!"

The fourth aunt's voice of finding fault came again: "How did I hear that Baizhenlou opened and issued ten VIP cards, and you have to spend a hundred taels to get them. Brother Nian probably doesn't have that much money."

Third Yiniang's mother and son's monthly silver is the least in Ren's family, only a few taels of silver. In addition to eating and drinking in the house, they also have to spend every month outside, so there is only a limited amount of silver taels left.

Listening to Si Yiniang's words, Ren Yuanwai made sense, so where did his brother get the VIP card, "Brother Nian, tell father, how did you get the VIP card?"

The majestic expression of the head of Ren Yuanwai's family made Ren Nianluo have to say, but he picked it up and said: "I, yes, a friend gave it..."

friend! ?

Si Yiniang sneered, "What kind of friend is so generous, I want to know him!"

As soon as Si Yiniang's words came out, some people thought that Ren Nianluo was lying, and some people wondered what kind of friend would give a brother the precious Baizhenlou VIP card.

Ren Nianluo bit his lip, seeing that his aunt was in a hurry and couldn't speak for him. He didn't want his aunt to be wronged. A friend is a friend. Since everyone wanted to know, he didn't care, and said loudly: "Yes My friend gave it to him, he is in charge of Baizhen Building, if you don't believe me, Fourth Aunt, just ask, why bother to speculate about people."

Ren Nianluo looked at Ren Yuan, "Father, if the VIP card is useful to you, Brother Nian will give it to you."

Then he said: "I'm a little uncomfortable, father, mother, ladies and aunts, please forgive me, Brother Nian has retired first!"

Ren Nianluo didn't care about it, and ran back to the yard, lying on the stone table where he had been lying at noon, knowing that he shouldn't have brought it up with good intentions, and was still suspected by others.

I don't know if my aunt will be punished.

He only now knows how valuable the gold card is. If he had known how valuable it was, he wouldn't have wanted it.

It took San Yiniang a while to return to the yard. When her brother saw her, he acted like he had done something wrong, and stood waiting to admit punishment. San Yiniang didn't blame her brother, did she scold her for the good of the family? My brother, this is not fair to her brother.

"mother......."

"Okay, mother didn't blame you." Third aunt said softly: "The master and madam didn't punish him, and even increased the monthly payment in our yard." Seeing that my brother was smiling happily, third aunt had to point it out, "Mother I don't blame you, but don't be so reckless in the future, people who are about to get married are still so reckless after marriage, if you have good intentions, it depends on the situation, you know?"

Ren Nianluo nodded obediently: "Got it, mother."

San Yiniang was satisfied with her brother's reflection, and then asked: "Come on, tell mother, how did you know the steward of Baizhenlou, the steward should be forty years old, if you say he is your friend, mother will not believe it."

Not to mention Third Aunt, everyone else thought it was impossible for Brother Nian to be friends with a middle-aged man.

The dark-minded Fourth Aunt and her daughter also guessed that Ren Nianluo liked the middle-aged man.

"Mom, he's only in his twenties, not a middle-aged man in his forties." Ren Nianluo protested, "Even when I went out to watch the Lantern Festival during the Mid-Autumn Festival, he knocked down my lantern, and the gold card was his apology. I don't know how valuable it is..."

Ren Nianluo narrated the process, and even praised Wei Lei, San Yiniang looked at her brother's expression, thinking about his good mood for a few days, could it be...

Third Yiniang remained calm, she is someone who has been there, how can she not see that her brother is interested in that person named Wei Lei.

A man in his twenties, still in charge, his personality sounds not bad, so he doesn't know if he has a marriage and a sweetheart, and at such a young age, he is in charge of Baizhenlou. Although he is not a good match, he can match her brother.

But her brother's marriage is decided by the master and wife. If you underestimate it, you think it's inappropriate to manage things...

The premise is that Wei Lei likes her brother or not, otherwise nothing will happen!
