Chapter 71 Chapter 71(1/3)
Since Luo Jianing wanted to settle the matter at the silk shop, she ran there a few more times.
After going back and forth, she discovered something.
The tailor shop next door, Zhang Niangzi Tailor Shop, is also selling takeout.
Luo Jianing was quite confused about this matter, so she asked Anfu to go and inquire about it - Su Peisheng followed her to and from the Qinzhuang silk and satin shop. Many people around had seen Su Peisheng, so she arranged for him to do this.
It's no longer appropriate.
Anfu quickly inquired about the tailor shop and reported back: "Mrs. Zhang of the shop used to do a good job, but last year she saw that the business of the shop was good, so she continued to buy the shop next to it and became a shop owner.
We need to make the business bigger.”
As a result, her shop was doing pretty well when it had only one storefront. After the shop was expanded, the business did not expand. However, the manpower and material resources consumed on weekdays were more than twice as much as before, so they continued to consume like this every day. This year she
There are some things I can’t do anymore.
Luo Jianing saw that Mrs. Zhang was a nice person and was down-to-earth and reliable, so she bought the shop. Mrs. Zhang was still responsible for the business, and she became the boss.
After Luo Jianing told Yinzhen about this, Yinzhen hesitated: "Since she will lose money in this business, then if you take over the business and she does it, won't she continue to lose money?"
"Did Fourth Master forget which one is next to this tailor shop?" Luo Jianing said happily: "There is a ready-made business here, so we don't have to worry about losing money in the future."
Next to it is the Qinzhuang Silk Shop, the shop she and Jiu A Ge jointly owned.
In the past, the Qinzhuang silk and satin shop was basically only responsible for selling silk and satin, not making it. There was an old tailor in the shop, who was only responsible for entertaining some old customers who insisted on making clothes in their shop.
Young customers don’t tend to get tailor-made clothes at Qinzhuang Satin. First, the original silk and satin shop does not specialize in this, and the styles of clothes sold are not the latest. Second, the original owner, Mr. Dong, is committed to making the best fabrics, and does not pay much attention to making them.
When it comes to clothes, customers basically know this. They can trust their fabrics but not their tailors.
Luo Jianing saw that Mrs. Zhang was good at craftsmanship, and the embroiderers under her were also very good, and they also had their own ideas about fashion.
It's just that Ms. Zhang was born in the grassroots and had no background in the capital. She only relied on word of mouth to do business and was unable to expand her customer base.
But it was different with her in the Dong family.
Luo Jianing only needs to lure the customers from the Qinzhuang silk and satin shop to the tailor shop, and basically this will be done.
As long as the high-quality customers of the silk and satin shop discover the good things made by her tailor shop in a short period of time, she will have no worries about the future and a steady stream of orders will come.
Yinzhen still had doubts about this: "Would Ninth Brother be concerned about you opening the shop next to him?"
"He and I are just cooperating." Luo Jianing disagreed: "If he has a second person who can cooperate with him to open a shop, he will never find me. Now after the eighth prince gets married, it may not take long for him to
I will leave the palace and establish a mansion. After that, Brother Jiu will not seek my cooperation again."
Yinzhen didn't know how his uncle and sister-in-law came up with the cooperation plan. He knew that Luo Jianing would think things through clearly, so he didn't say anything more.
Luo Jianing has a lot of money in her hands.
Excluding those given by her mother-in-law, and those given by Yinzhen often to her, the rewards from the palace were really a large sum of money. She didn't even need to go through the public accounts of the fourth elder brother's house, she could buy things directly with her own money.
Of course, Yinzhen insisted on letting her keep public accounts.
The income from his farm shop is huge every month, and he doesn't want his wife to touch her private money.
As Luo Jianing said, she and Brother Jiu were in a pure partnership. The change of ownership of the silk shop was quickly settled and was completed by the end of the first month.
Regarding the fact that she bought the tailor shop next to her, Luo Jianing did not hide it from Brother Jiu. During these busy days, she finally made a trip to the palace, met him by the way, and told him the matter openly.
Got him.
Brother Jiu didn't mind this at all.
"The good news should not go to outsiders." Brother Jiu said: "From now on, if customers in our shop need to make clothes, they can go to your shop."
Naturally, he didn't pay much attention to that tailor shop.
How can a group of embroiderers accomplish great things?
However, the fourth sister-in-law helped him settle the affairs of the silk and satin shop, which was a great contribution, so he was naturally willing to help the fourth sister-in-law and let the customers in their shop go to the tailor shop to work.
Since Brother Jiu gave half of the shop to Si Fujin for nothing, he naturally would not leave her idle and asked her to make the personnel arrangements for the shop.
Luo Jianing doesn't have to worry about this.
Anyway, her tailor shop is nearby, so she can ask Mrs. Zhang and the others to make suggestions.
Of course, she chose the best person and stayed in the tailor shop. Others who had no skills but good character, she put them in the silk shop.
Anyway, as long as people in a satin shop are smart and discerning, they can start working after a period of training. They don't need to have specialized skills like those in a tailor shop.
In addition, the tailor shop also changed its name.
Now that the owner has changed and the way of doing business needs to be changed, the name "Zhang Niangzi Tailor Shop" was changed to "Huanxi Tailor Shop".
The new name was Luo Jianing's idea.
Yinzhen had reservations about the name and asked his wife to think about what to call it.
Luo Jianing recognized this good name.
Yinzhen had no choice but to nod and praise the name.
After Luo Jianing made all the arrangements, the background investigation on Jiang Yingyu came out.
It turns out that the ancestors of Jiang Yingyu's family were scholars and had achieved fame. In Jiang Yingyu's father's generation, he did not pass the exam and worked as an accountant in a wealthy family.
Later, Jiang's father married an eldest maid from that family as his daughter-in-law and gave birth to a daughter. The whole family was harmonious and harmonious.
Good times don't last long.
There was a disaster at their home. Everyone in Jiang Yingyu's family died, and she was the only ten-year-old girl to live alone.
I don’t know what she has gone through, but after so many years of doing menial work, she has become a man in her early twenties. She can endure hardship, but she is stubborn and accepts death, and often offends people.
These things, related to life experience, were found out by Yinzhen through asking people to find out. As for character, it was told by the embroiderers in the tailor shop word by word.
Madam Zhang is in her early twenties, about the same age as Jiang Yingyu, but she has delicate features and a graceful figure. She looks a generation younger than the older Jiang Yingyu.
It was also when she expanded her shop that she realized that she could only run a small business and that it was not possible to run a large business.
She was grateful to Si Fujin for buying her shop and allowing her to continue working here. Because she was brought down by this shop and almost lost a lot of money.
Moreover, the store's business was not doing well, and when people came to ask about the price, they tried their best to lower the price for her.
Only Si Fujin felt pity for her that the entire shop was filled with women. Not only did he not lower the price but he readily paid her the price she said, and he also promised them a dividend at the end of the year if the business did well.
The women in the shop were very grateful to Si Fujin for his generosity, and there was no barrier between them.
Today Sifujin came to the shop. Mrs. Zhang mentioned Jiang Yingyu and said a few words in passing: "Lao Guo from the silk and satin shop actually looked down on Jiang Yingyu. I thought it was extremely ridiculous. Once, Lao Guo
I made a mistake in my calculations, so I didn't dare to leave at night, so I kept doing calculations over there anxiously. It was Jiang Yingyu who had a kind heart and helped him do the calculations. Otherwise, he would have suffered a lot if the accounts didn't match up."
"Maybe I will be fired by the Dong family!" Another embroiderer next to her said.
Luo Jianing asked curiously: "Will Jiang Yingyu settle the score?"
"Her father is the accountant, and she has learned to calculate accounts since she was a child." Mrs. Zhang said: "We worked very late that night, and she accompanied Lao Guo to calculate the accounts clearly. But she didn't expect-"
Unexpectedly, at that time, Lao Guo said a lot of grateful words to Jiang Yingyu, but in the end he bit back and slandered Jiang Yingyu and broke things.
Luo Jianing then had an idea.
A big problem with this tailor shop is that there is no accounting room. All the accounts have to be settled bit by bit by Mrs. Zhang and her embroiderer.
And there's a lot of rough work to do here.
Unfortunately, there are only women in the shop, and they don't dare to find men to move things. Those who are skilled in embroidery work often have to do hard work to move large items.
Anyway, Luo Jianing is in charge of the personnel in both stores.
Luo Jianing took the initiative and asked Jiang Yingyu to come to the tailor shop to work as an accountant and work as a coolie. The salary given was similar to that of the embroiderers. If the business of the shop is good, everyone will receive dividends at the end of the year.
Jiang Yingyu couldn't believe such a good thing at first.
It wasn't until Su Peisheng took her to the tailor shop and let her see Mrs. Zhang that she believed it and couldn't help but cover her face and cry bitterly.
Luo Jianing did not see this situation at that time.
Because after she arranged these things, she went to the palace and did not stay in the shop to witness everything that happened.
The situation in the palace has been changing recently. Unfortunately, Luo Jianing was busy with business matters and could not get away to enter the palace. Therefore, she missed a lot of exciting plots.
No, Concubine De really couldn't bear to see her daughter-in-law staying out of the matter, so she directly sent people to Si Age's house, saying that she missed Si Fujin very much, and asked Si Fujin to come to the palace to spend a day with her.
As a daughter-in-law, Luo Jia naturally knows who her mother-in-law likes and wants to see the most.
She directly brought Hong Hui, who was sleeping soundly, with her, saying that Brother Hui couldn't live without his mother, so she had to take him with her to accompany her into the palace.
Actually.
The emperor and Concubine De fell in love with Honghui as soon as they saw her. They immediately forgot about her as their daughter-in-law. They talked non-stop to their grandson, and they were very happy.
Brother Hui chuckled and obviously liked having his grandparents around.
They were married across generations. The three of them were happy.
Luo Jianing had nothing to do, so she went to the East Palace to find the princess.
The Crown Princess had already had someone give her a message, saying that when she had time to enter the palace, she would stop by the East Palace. The reason she used was that she "missed her very much".
Luo Jianing was self-aware and knew that she could not be remembered by so many people, so when she went to the East Palace, she was extra thoughtful and took Cuiying and Furong with her.
