"In this case, Li Si will stay and wait for Zhang Xuan and them. Niu Er, you go to Qiu Ze to do these things." Ding Rui whispered in Niu Er's ear. After hearing this, Li Si and Niu Er suddenly became energetic.

.

Niu Er thought to himself, Shaodong's family is still so powerful, and no matter what happens to him, it won't be a problem at all!

As soon as the rain stopped the next day, Niu Er set off for Qiu Ze County.

Ding Rui took Li Si to visit Yongxiu Mansion for a day, and came to the door of Brother Dingxiang's clothing store in the evening.

Shopkeeper Qiao was still busy inside. When he saw Ding Rui and others coming, he immediately left the store to greet them.

"Master Rui, please come inside!"

Qiao Zhangui is in his early thirties, slightly chubby, very friendly, and easy to get close to. He is neither humble nor overbearing towards Ding Rui.

Ding Rui mentally scored Shopkeeper Qiao: perfect score for taking people and picking up things.

"Shopkeeper Qiao, I want to buy some pieces of cloth for my mother. Do you have any good suggestions?"

Ding Rui looked at the cloth shop casually. Although the store had been sold out, judging from the store's furnishings, there was no sign of being sold out. It was still open for business as usual.

"Master Rui, do you want to make clothes or use it for other purposes?" Shopkeeper Qiao asked, standing next to Ding Rui.

"I want to make some winter clothes for my mother!"

"What color does Madam like?"

"Plain color!"

Shopkeeper Qiao nodded after hearing this and took down four pieces of cloth from the shelf.

"This horse was just purchased last month. I am the only one in the whole Yongxiu Mansion who has it. It comes from Yongding Country. The cloth is soft, light and has good thermal insulation effect."

"This one belongs to your Ding family. The red color is more orthodox and suitable for Chinese New Year and festivals."

"This one is made of silk and is suitable for a person of status like Madam. It has a round color and a comfortable feel. It is suitable for outerwear."

"This one is also made of straight silk, but the silk content is higher, and the cloth is much more expensive. The skills of the weaver are very high, and a skilled weaver can only make one foot a day!"

After shopkeeper Qiao introduced them one by one, he moved a dark blue silk floss down from the container.

"This horse was specially given to you by the owner, as a thank you for saving the young lady and Master Bao!"

Ding Rui had heard Ding Huixin say before that a piece of fine silk floss weighing one foot straight costs one tael of silver. Now the one given by Brother Dingxiang is probably more than three meters long, almost ten taels of silver.

Twelve taels of silver are the expenses of a family of three for five years. This thank you gift is a bit heavy! I am afraid that Ding Xiang's brother intentionally asked him to take care of Ding Xiang and her son.

"Okay, I'll accept this thank you gift. Tell your boss that I will take good care of Ding Xiang and her son!"

Upon hearing this, shopkeeper Qiao hurriedly came out of the counter and bowed deeply to Ding Rui, with tears in his eyes when he stood up.

"Thank you Master Rui!"

He had watched Ding Xiang grow up, and although there was no father-daughter bond, there was a father-daughter relationship. This bow was not only for his boss, but also for himself, and for Ding Xiang and his mother.

"I wonder what shopkeeper Qiao has planned next?" Ding Rui asked seemingly unintentionally.

"Help the boss deal with the remaining cloth first, and sell as much as you can. Then take a good rest."

Shopkeeper Qiao was full of emotions. He had followed his old boss since he was six years old, and he was already the third generation of Ding Xiang. If he hadn't already had a family, with seniors and juniors, he might have followed his boss.

Well, he is neither arrogant nor impetuous, has high loyalty and is available.

"My new store lacks a shopkeeper. I wonder if Shopkeeper Qiao is interested?" Ding Rui looked around and saw that there was either too much or too little cloth.

"this?"

Shopkeeper Qiao was stunned by this sudden surprise and didn't know how to answer for a while.

With his ability, it is not impossible to find another job as a shopkeeper, but he has been in this shop since he was six years old, and his emotional and energy investment in this shop is far more than that of his boss. When he knew that his boss wanted to

When he returned to his hometown, his heart felt a little cold, but it was a pity that there was nothing he could do.

"The salary is twice what you are now, and there are gifts during every festival, please think about it!" Ding Rui offered a high salary, and shopkeeper Qiao was already excited.

"It would be great if you can finish processing the cloth before the end of the month. If you can't finish it, the Ding Family Cloth Shop will take it all over."

Ding Rui was confident that Shopkeeper Qiao would agree to such conditions. Sure enough, Shopkeeper Qiao nodded after hearing this.

"Thank you Mr. Rui, Qiao will do your best!" Sometimes a thousand words are not worth a few words.

Ding Rui nodded and immediately asked someone to write the contract. After writing it, he signed and pledged it and handed it to Shopkeeper Qiao.

Shopkeeper Qiao looked at it and signed and stamped it.

"Everything in the grain store is completely decided by shopkeeper Qiao. You don't need to ask me for advice on hiring or laying off people. You decide the wages."

Ding Rui's principle is to trust people without trusting them and employ them without trusting them. Give them sufficient space for development.

Sure enough, Shopkeeper Qiao lived up to his trust. However, in just five years, he developed the 'Li Ding Liang Store' into the largest chain store in China, which made the royal family even more unruly. This is all a story later.

Ding Rui left Li Si behind to assist Shopkeeper Qiao and bought all the silk pendants introduced by Shopkeeper Qiao. It was already midnight after checking out. He remembered that Ding Huixin told him to go home for dinner when he left in the morning, so he hurried to Ding's house.

.

"Master Rui, I have your greeting card!" As soon as Ding Rui arrived at Ding's house, the housekeeper Ding Zhong took a greeting card and handed it over.

Ding Rui opened it and took a look: Tian Xiu.

Who is this? There is no such person among the people I associate with.

"Master, this is the second son of the high official Tian Guan of Yongxiu Mansion." Ding Si was smart and explained quickly as soon as he saw Ding Rui's expression.

"Don't call me master, just like Ding Dong, call me Shaodongjia or Master Rui!"

Ding Rui felt that the title 'Master' was awkward. It reminded him of inappropriate scenes in online games:

The girl with a hot figure and cute expression slightly opened her collar and shouted in a charming voice: "Master! Master, come and help me!"

The two brothers Ding Dong and Ding Xi looked at each other and immediately said, "Yes, Master Rui!"

Speaking of this, the Tian family is extraordinary. The Tian family is the second-in-command of Yongxiu Mansion. The entire Yongxiu Mansion is said to be "Ding Tian Rao Zhou" in terms of financial resources, but "Wang Rao Tian Zhou" in terms of power.

Ding Rui knew something about the other three families: Rao Yuanchen's father was the governor of Yongxiu Mansion and the top leader of Yongxiu Mansion;

Zhou Pleiades has a family of thousands of medicines, and half of the imperial doctors in the palace are from the Zhou family;

And Wang Bin Gui's return home is even more remarkable. Wang Bin Gui's grandfather was a first-class expedition general and officer.

As for the Tian family, it can be said to be powerful if it can surpass the Zhou family. The Tian family's legitimate daughter was sent to the palace a few years ago, and she suddenly became favored last year. As a result, the entire Tian family became enlightened, and their chickens and dogs ascended to heaven.

Looking at the greeting card in his hand: the surface is made of silk and satin, the lining is silk cotton, and the word "Blessing Card" is written in large gold-plated characters, which makes Ding Rui feel very heavy. The Chinese characters written in the Chinese style of the greeting card are standardized, neat, but not lost.

atmosphere.

Ding Rui handed the greeting card to Ding Xi and entered the south courtyard holding the black silk pendant he selected for Ding Huixin.

"You kid, why did you come back?"

Ding Huixin breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Ding Rui coming back, and then said angrily:

"My son is older than my mother. I am a soft-spoken person, and no one takes my words seriously."

Ding Huixin rarely got angry before, but since she and Ding Rui moved back to Ding's house, the little woman's thoughts have escaped her mind and she gets angry at every turn. Sometimes Ding Rui feels inexplicable.

But Ding Huixin was angry, but Ding Rui still took it seriously.

"Mom, winter is coming soon. I wanted to choose some pieces of fabric for you to make new clothes, but I couldn't choose from three or four options. I had to buy everything I liked."

Ding Rui quickly handed the cloth in his hand to Ding Huixin.
