In this room, Shen Nanbao saw Mrs. Wang being pushed in by the yamen servants and turned around to thank Jiangfu Yin.
How could Jiang Fuyin dare to accept her courtesy? He hurriedly knelt down and cupped his hands and said, "Mrs. Xiao is too polite. I just did my duty."
Shen Nanbao smiled silently, but said nothing more. After a few pleasantries, he was respectfully seen off by Jiang Fu Yin and left the Yamen.
At this time, the sun was turning to the west, and it was shining on the other side of the mountain in red and purple colors. It was a bit dizzying to look at it.
Shen Nanbao couldn't help but turn his head and saw Feng Yue's irrepressible smile.
"I'm finally clean now! Madam, you are so powerful, you even used the trick to advertise our rice shop!"
There was indescribable pleasure in his tone.
Shen Nanbao smiled a little, "Then I hope our rice shop will make a lot of money every day tomorrow and the customer flow will be steady!"
I really agreed with this.
Ever since Mrs. Wang made a big fuss that day, the business in the shop has been continuous.
The accountant sat in the hall and plucked the beads until they crackled.
The number of porters who usually carry goods has also increased from two or three to seven or eight.
Fengyue turned her eyes back from the alley and smiled from ear to ear, "If we keep going like this, my wife and uncle will become the richest men in Gongzhou by the end of next year."
Shen Nanbao smiled calmly, "I hope," he turned to her and told her, "Don't just care about having fun...you have to supervise them to stock up on food."
She lowered her voice very low, making sure it was only loud enough for the two of them to hear.
Fengyue slapped her chest loudly, "Madam, don't worry, Xiao Yijie will keep this in mind, and the grain stored in the warehouse will only be more than ten thousand, not less."
While Zhengxiang was talking, there was a commotion in front of the door.
It was the waiter who poked the person's nose with his fingertips, "Tell me about your braised pig's head, right? How many times have I told you? Don't carry goods through the front door, don't carry goods through the front door! You don't understand." Or are you deaf? Or do you have to hit a customer and pay for it before you listen?"
Shen Nanbao rushed over with a frown.
Feng Yue first pulled the waiter to a corner and shouted, "Why do we need to talk about it here? Why don't we choose another place!"
The waiter let out a sigh of relief, but still kept mumbling, "He has done this so many times, and he doesn't listen every time!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the porter, who had always been silent in the past, acted strangely. He put down his rice bag and retorted: "You are Suihe Lu Jia, we can't talk to you, but we always act according to our conscience, and we can't help you." It’s not for you to slander the past like this with just a few words!”
The waiter was so angry that his face felt like he was rubbing the bottom of the pot, and he spat loudly: "You old Liu! I feel very resentful when I hear you say that! Please tell me how I slandered you."
At this time, Old Liu turned his head, looked at Shen Nanbao and said, "Madam, we work as porters and our food is the trade on our feet. At first, we made an agreement that from the North Pier to here, we will go to town. I have to carry ten bags a day for a five-kilometer road, and the total wages are one penny, and I will be given one penny every ten days, right?"
Shen Nanbao nodded and said so, and Lao Liu added: "We come out to make a living, just to make a living. Madam is so spoiled that she doesn't understand how much effort it takes to travel five miles, but we know better than anyone else. ! So if the waiter wants us to choose the corner door to enter, then he has to ask us to walk an extra road. It will take almost one mile to go back and forth ten times, and ten days will be ten miles..."
The waiter was very angry and retorted, "You are so embarrassed to say, five miles and ten miles..."
Shen Nanbao waved to interrupt the waiter, turned around and asked, "How many miles have you traveled since you came to work in my shop?"
Old Liu was a little confused for a moment, but he still replied truthfully: "Almost twelve miles."
Shen Nanbao nodded and turned to the waiter, "Go to the accountant and ask for two taels of silver."
The waiter immediately understood, "Patron!"
Shen Nanbao still had the same indifferent expression as before, and raised his head slightly, "Go quickly."
The waiter heard this in a tone that did not allow for refutation. No matter how unhappy he was, he could only suppress it and turned around to find the accountant. When he came out again, he had a bag in his hand and handed it to Shen Nanbao.
Shen Nanbao asked Fengyue to hand it to Lao Liu and said: "This is two taels of silver."...
Old Liu probably didn't expect that it would be so easy to ask for money. He was stunned on the spot for a moment, but later he realized, "That's not possible. If you have too much money, go to a silversmith to cash it out."
But Shen Nanbao just smiled, "This is a lot of money for your hard work. After all, we have been getting along pretty well during this period. Thank you very much."
The gentle tone and warm smile made the porter suddenly feel a little embarrassed and angry. Just as he was scratching his head and wondering how to deal with this problem, Shen Nanbao stood up, turned to the waiter and ordered: "Tomorrow, find someone else to replace him. "
Old Liu was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he was fired.
Fengyue turned around and saw Old Liu's appearance. She couldn't help but sneered, "You're so good after getting an advantage!"
Shen Nanbao stepped onto the sedan chair, his colorful embroidered shoes stepped on the fir wooden sedan bottom, making a crisp sound, "The money and goods have been paid, don't talk about it."
Fengyue was unwilling to do so. After entering the house, she pulled Lu Kui over and said.
Who knew that Lu Kui nodded after hearing this, "Madam, you are right. Once the money and goods are settled, there is no need to say anything more."
Fengyue's beautiful eyebrows frowned fiercely, "You guys are making me look petty like this. It's obvious that the porter is overly concerned, isn't it?"
Lu Kui said yes, "It was the porter who was so fussy about everything, but think about it, what was the scene at that time, and what was our wife's status? How could we be there to argue with him?"
Feng Yue seemed to understand, "If this is the case, why should we commit ourselves to fight with the queen when she is making trouble in the shop?"
Shen Nanbao was sitting aside studying tea. Hearing this, he put down his silver hammer and said, "Lu Kui, please ignore her. She just doesn't know what to ask. After asking this, there is still another thing to ask. When the time comes, ask her." It makes you upset and tired."
"lady!"
Feng Yue stamped her feet in annoyance.
Lu Kui exclaimed, and rushed to Shen Nanbao's side very wisely, "It's true what Madam said, I'd better wait for Madam to fight for tea!"
After that, the waiter got a new porter. He was stronger and younger than Liu's, and he didn't care about the extra mile of travel.
But in order to prevent anyone from overthinking it, Shen Nanbao still added extra money for each mile of travel.
Seeing this, Feng Yue finally couldn't help but choked, "It's said to be five or six miles, but the entire distance to the door of the shop was carried by cars, and they didn't carry it themselves. It was necessary to do this. Do you want more money?"
Seeing that Shen Nanbao was unmoved, Feng Yue was asking for trouble, so she had no choice but to turn around and help the waiter attract customers.
After being so busy until the sunset, Shen Nanbao returned to his house.
As soon as the front foot entered the door, the nanny Bian rushed to the door and said, "It's not good, it's not good, madam! Then Chen Fang is going to die!"
Feng Yue was startled, "Why are you dying all of a sudden!"
Mrs. Bian was a little anxious, "I was sick a long time ago, and I have been recovering in bed, but recently I didn't know how to breathe!"
Shen Nanbao held the tea cup and listened while slowly putting the tea into his mouth.
Probably not expecting Shen Nanbao's reaction, Bian was stunned for a moment, "Madam, why aren't you in a hurry?"
Fengyue snorted, "Ms. Bian, if you want to find someone to help Chen Fang, you must first have a score in mind! Why should our wife be anxious? That Chen Fang also contradicted and slandered our wife a lot at first!"
Mrs. Bian's face stiffened and she said sarcastically: "She was probably unintentional. That person Chen Fang... also has a miserable life."
Feng Yue disagreed, "She chose her own misfortune. Can she blame others? As for Bian, our wife wanted to use you because we wanted to see that you can handle things clearly and have your own opinion. We sent you to the Liu family. You are not the Liu family." I want you to be as kind-hearted as your official to save people."
Ms. Bian was choked, and after a long while she said something: "I can't bear it either," she quickly glanced at Fengyue, "Miss Fengyue, don't get me wrong, it's not that I can't bear that Chen Fang, I just can't bear it." That little baby, she’s too young to lose her mother.”
Fengyue was stunned for a moment. She was still eloquent just now, but she immediately fell silent.
Only then did Bian look at Shen Nanbao.
She was sitting upright with backlight, her face was imprinted in the shadow, and her expression could not be seen clearly.
Mrs. Bian couldn't help but beat the drum in her heart, but she could only understand it with reason and emotion: "Madam, you may not understand this emotion well before you have given birth. It's just because I have been there, so I can experience the relationship between mother and child firsthand. The love is deep, and the more you experience it, the more you can't bear it. Even though Chen Fang couldn't help feeling towards you in the past, that little baby is really still young, and he can't live without his mother."
The windows were open in the house, and the wind and waves outside made the house seem increasingly quiet.
I don't know how long it took, but Shen Nanbao put down the tea, and with a loud smack, she said, "Then what will you do if I ask you to do it?"
Ms. Bian was a little confused, then she nodded quickly, "Of course!"
Shen Nanbao called Chi Yu.
Then there was a sound of rustling, and a short figure appeared on the door, calling out "Madam" in a low voice.
Shen Nanbao said, "Go to the south room and bring over the light ocher white flower skirt and vermilion silk scarf that I had idle from last time."
Fengyue was impressed by this set, and it was a bit too big for Shen Nanbao. At that time, Lu Kui was joking, saying that when the wife gave birth in the future, she would be able to fit in these sizes.
Now take this set of clothes...
Fengyue glanced at Bian's figure.
It was clear that he wanted to give this body to Bian.
What is madam going to do?
Didn’t you say you wanted to save Chen Fang?
Why did he turn his head and put on his clothes?
Just as he was wondering, Chi Yu came into the room holding some clothes.
Shen Nanbao picked up the vermilion shawl and compared it to Bian's side, "You have fair skin, and this will make your complexion look even better."
"Madam, what are you..."
Shen Nanbao said: "I don't like to cause trouble for myself, and naturally, I don't like to save myself from trouble. Chen Fang is not a bad-tempered person, but she has gone crazy and followed the Three Cardinal Principles and Five Constant Rules too much, so I just need to teach her After seeing the faces of these two people clearly, it should be done."
Wang Po is in prison, and she will never see the light of day under Shen Nanbao's orders.
So only Liu Yun was left.
This Liu Yun...
Mrs. Bian understood immediately. She pulled up her silk skirt and spoke Wu Nong's soft words with strange determination, "Madam, please pay attention to the neighbors later."
