There is a light green silk curtain hanging in the room, but the fine-textured materials are incompatible with the furnishings here...it would be very unsightly to draw the curtain in such a room.

The silk curtain is a bit transparent, but the sun shines in from the outside and reflects the light. Guo Shao can’t see clearly the scene behind the curtain outside, only the silhouette of a person’s shadow; but the curtain should look outside. It is clear, and the outside light is good.

Guo Shao thinks this girl is very contrived, ostentatious.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the woman inside suddenly knelt down, paid a salute, and said quietly: "The concubine came out today to make amends. General Guo, please listen to the concubine's explanation."

The voice was soft and clear. Seeing the shadow inside, Guo Shao hurriedly made a gesture of support: "No, why should I give this gift? Isn’t it just a business, because the people in my family are anxious, so I came to ask. . Hurry up, please let me talk about what's going on first."

The people inside got up with thanks, and Guo Shao sat down on the stool, ready to listen to her.

At this moment, the afternoon sun shines through the wooden windows, making the tabletop in this room glow with greasy light. Sure enough, the place is not very clean, the table top is not clean and greasy, but I don't know if the last group of guests spilled some oily soup on it. This place was set by Guo Shao at will. It was at the entrance of the downtown area. Naturally, he had no choice. Now he discovered that the building was opened to a large scale but it did not look like a particular place. The teapots and cups on the table were notched.

For a time, Guo Shao's mood completely changed. I feel that the curtain drawn is not abrupt anymore. Sure enough, what is the meaning of things in the world, is it actually following people's mood?

He wondered that it is not easy for a widow to do business. It is excusable to see a male guest not showing up. Also, this place is already dirty. If a woman is obsessed with cleanliness, she might not be willing to drink the water here, and she would not be willing to serve it to guests.

But some people are indeed more hypocritical. She is that kind of person. If she doesn't understand her, she might be unaccustomed to a sudden contact. Just like the woman I saw today.

The voice of the woman inside seemed to have a Wu accent. At this time, she spoke clearly and softly: "My concubine's name is Chen Jiali."

Guo Shao made a slight movement at the corner of his mouth, but did not say anything. In his heart, he felt that the name was a bit tacky, and it was very different from her squeamish image... He discovered that at this time, the names of women with a little background were instead. Very tacky; those women with nice and literary names are mostly of no origin. But somehow.

Chen Jiali continued: "Our'Shen Chen Li Weaving' is, as the name suggests, the joint weaving business of Shen, Chen, and Li. The three families are married for generations, and they are actually a business gang, not limited to weaving things. The concubine is born in Chen. I’m just married, and now I’m the wife of the Shen family. Some people also call me the Chen Chen family... So my surname is Chen, but I run the business of the Shen family. I can’t control the management of my maiden family.

General Guo would like to ask, since I am the head of the Shen family, why can't I restrain the people below... there is a reason here.

The husband had already inherited the Shen family business. The wife he married five years ago was the daughter of the Li family and had a son; but after the death of the Li family, he continued to marry and married a concubine. Earlier, the original intention of the two families was to let Xianfu Xuanxian marry the Li family; but he insisted on marrying me... Later, our husband and wife were as respectful as guests and got along very well. "Chen Jiali said here with a little shy tone.

"Now that the Quartet is divided, all the towns have set up chucks, and business is not easy to do. But all the exotic goods are good. We can make a profit by shipping the silk fabrics and pearls of Southern Tang Dynasty to Tokyo and even Youzhou; Youzhou bought precious furs, ginseng and other goods from the north, and transported them to Tokyo, Yangzhou, and Jinling. It was also very profitable. Therefore, our firm has shops and caravans in famous places in the world. Last year, the husband went to Youzhou for Make more money..."

At this time, Chen Jiali's voice gradually choked, and her tone was very sad, "Unexpectedly, the Khitan people only fell in love with the beautiful concubine next to the husband, and they murdered and plundered! The husband was killed because of this. The Khitan government not only did not punish the murderer. , And shamelessly released the prisoners back and asked us to take the money to forgive the living. Among them, two concubines were also from the Chen family, and the natal family took the money to redeem them...but...but..."

Her voice trembled, as if she saw something extremely horrible, "The man is back, but the two little girls have been tortured to be inhumane. My concubine has lived in this world for more than 20 years and has never seen anything like this. A cruel thing; even the person who committed the capital crime was not treated like this! Before the husband was murdered, I don’t know what kind of humiliation and torture he suffered..."

Guo Shao couldn't help sighing and expressing sympathy.

It was a long time before Chen Jiali came back to her senses and said: "After the death of her husband, it should be his son who inherited the family business, but the child is only a few years old; there are only a few cousins ​​in the Shen family. So they belong to the three families. Discuss that I can raise the children and take charge of the family business of the Shen family.

On the one hand, the Li family felt that the child was born by the wife of the Li family, and they were unwilling to hand over the family property to the cousins ​​of the Shen family. They did not trust me. On the other hand, my natal Chen also felt that I was the head of the Shen family. His first wife should raise children to inherit the family business; here the cousins ​​of the Shen family are also watching. Although I am the owner of the family, I am embarrassed on three sides. "

Chen Jiali said sadly: "If her husband is alive, why is it so difficult for her concubine?"

Guo Shao said after listening, "So, too many people have interfered in this business, and it is really easy to rip. In this way, it is not all to blame Mrs. Chen. There is a problem with our order and it is understandable. ."

Ms. Chen said: "I have long heard that General Guo is brave and admired; besides, although Tokyo is prosperous, the powers of various offices are not clear, and there are too many people who can threaten and bully our businessmen. If we can make friends with General Guo like this People who are not good for Shen, Chen and Li’s business are good? A little money is nothing."

Guo Shao said: "Thank you Mrs. Chen for trusting me, she is very sincere, and there are not so many false words on the surface."

Ms. Chen said: "General Guo is very famous. I have heard a lot about you. I naturally believe that you are a human being. How can I use false words to make a mistake?"

She said again: "In the beginning, Mansion Guo sent someone to look at the goods in the shop, and I learned that Aunt Bai was from General Guo's Mansion. Later, she was too expensive and went to another place... It was really not us. The prices are expensive. The goods are all shipped from the Southern Tang and Wu Yue countries, and the cost of many checkpoints along the way is high; but the fabrics such as brocade are indeed better than the Zhou Dynasty. Goods and bad things can be seen by everyone, and the good is naturally expensive.

Since there is such an opportunity to interact with Guo's Mansion, how can I push the guests to other places in order to make money? Immediately, they sent someone to the Guo Mansion to discuss and agreed to discount the price in half. As a result, the price was cheaper than the market and the things were better. Guo Mansion naturally had no reason to choose another home. Of course we will lose a lot of money in this business, but I think it's worth it.

Unexpectedly, I was not here in the East Market this morning. The cousin of the Shen family in that shop saw that he was losing money. He didn't know the situation well, so he suspected that I was seeking personal gain and refused to deliver the goods. But this business is my master, so they didn't immediately refund the deposit and regret the deal. Instead, it pushed the trouble to me... We were impolite first, so the concubine didn't care about widowhood and gossiping, and hurriedly sent someone to meet the people in Guo's mansion, wanting to personally apologize and deal with this matter. "

Guo Shao listened to her detailed explanation, which was indeed reasonable and reasonable. He thought that he still had this little breast, and he could not hold onto it because someone else was wrong, and he was not an enemy. At the moment he said generously: "Do the business as it is, and the goods are good and expensive. Just take your original price and rewrite the contract; the original one..." Guo Shao took it out of his arms and tore it face to face. , Throwing the torn paper on the table.

Ms. Chen hurriedly said: "No, the concubine can still be solved. There are shops in the West Market and the outer city. It is the dowry given by my natal family when I married the Shen family. I can completely take charge of these businesses. Tomorrow I will send someone to transport the goods from my shop to Guo's mansion, and deliver the goods first. Since I can trust General Guo, what contract should I write?"

Guo Shao said: "I'm a dignified general, can you bully you woman? That's it, the price is fixed; if Mrs. Chen insists, it doesn't matter if you don't do this business, anyway, Guo can't be greedy for your advantage. "

"Since General Guo said so...then it's okay, it's up to you." Mrs. Chen said, then asked, "General Guo buys so many silk fabrics, isn't it a bride price for Wang Wei's family?"

Guo Shao said in surprise: "How do you know?"

Ms. Chen said with a smile: “It’s true that our business is mainly dealing with wealthy people. Although things are good, they are expensive. We also have business dealings with Wei Wang’s family. The ladies of Wei Wang’s family like to be with us. All kinds of things are customized there."

She said that she called Aunt Sun to come forward and whispered a few words quietly. Guo Shao did not hear clearly, but because he was so close, he heard words like "get some jewelry".

Mrs. Chen instructed Auntie Sun, and said: "If General Guo can trust me, he is going to spend a lot of money on the betrothal gift, first set the number, and then hand it over to us to handle it for you, and he will definitely satisfy General Guo. "

When Guo Shao heard it, he felt interesting. He didn't understand those things at first, and he didn't have time to ask Mrs. Gao that day. If someone helps with cooking, don’t you worry?

Immediately, he said: "That's fine. I will go back and ask people at home, and then I will send someone to tell you."

Ms. Chen smiled and said: "That's it. As long as General Guo sends someone to speak, I will transport the things to the mansion first, and then it will not be too late for Guo Mansion to pay."

Guo Shao didn’t get entangled in this matter, and patted the table lightly: “That’s it. Anyway, I know I won’t fall back on my account, so it’s so easy!” rg
