MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 217 Shopkeeper Song (rewards will be added)

Ping'er has lost his father and his position as the Young Master of the Duke's Palace. He is already a head lower than many children from aristocratic families in Sui'an City.

Although Uncle Liu is strong, he will eventually live separately, so it is not good to come to the General's Mansion to ask for help whenever there is trouble.

 Sister-in-law has seen that the three-bedroom and five-bedroom have done a lot of things like this, so naturally she will not indulge herself in becoming such a person.

 So, after hearing Du Jingyi’s explanation, he fell silent.

 Rationally, she was told that she should accept it, but emotionally, she was still somewhat unwilling.

Du Jingyi could also understand the concerns in his sister-in-law's heart, so he spoke.

"Sister-in-law, there is no need to worry about it. At most, just think of it as something I lent to you. When you have more money in the future, you can return the profits to me. But now that you have to learn your skills and lay a foundation, don't shirk it anymore."

After hearing this, Mrs. Liu, the sister-in-law, let go of the entanglement in her heart.

The shops in her hands are already in a half-dead state, and it is probably impossible to turn them around. It is better to follow Du Jingyi's suggestion, sort out the unnecessary ones and sell them off.

In this way, she can not only return a good amount of funds, but also learn from scratch with the shopkeeper. When she makes a profit in the future, she can return it to Du Jingyi.

So, gritted his teeth and agreed.

“Brothers and sisters, don’t worry, I am not a greedy person. I will make a note for you and I will return all the profits to you as soon as possible.”

“Okay, whatever my sister-in-law says will be done.”

After saying this, Sister-in-law Liu got up to find pen and ink, neatly set up the writing and handed it to Du Jingyi, and then took the list of shops from Tao Qingdao.

With a solemn and firm attitude, it suddenly seemed as if he had found his goal for the rest of his life, and his eyes became more lively.

 Du Jingyi was also happy to see such changes in his sister-in-law.

The shopkeeper Song she chose was steady and down-to-earth, and kind in dealing with people, but he was also very shrewd in doing business.

 The business experience of other businessmen always has the possibility of being opportunistic, but Shopkeeper Song has both integrity and skill in doing business, so he can become a person Du Jingyi trusts.

With his help, Du Jingyi is confident that in ten years at most, his sister-in-law will be able to have half a hundred in her hands.

By then, let alone Sui'an City, even the entire Daxing Dynasty may not be able to find many people richer than her.

With Du Jingyi's approval, my sister-in-law made a special trip to the shop called "Rong'an Silver Building" early the next morning.

The waiter saw the sign of the General's Mansion hanging on the carriage and horse, and quickly understood that this was someone from the master's family, so he greeted his sister-in-law Liu to enter the shop, and then respectfully invited her to the backyard.

“Shopkeeper Song, someone from the master’s family is here.”

Hearing the call from the waiter, shopkeeper Song, whose name was only heard but not his person, lifted the curtain from the inner room.

Wearing a stone blue cotton brocade robe, he looks upright and has an upright face.

When he saw that the person coming was not Du Jingyi, his eyes understood clearly, and he stepped forward and saluted politely.

 “Song Xian met the young lady.”

 “Do you recognize me?”

Sister-in-law Liu is a little curious. The two have never met. How can he tell it with his mouth?

 There was no emotion on Song Xian's face, and he just replied politely.

"The head of the family told me a few days ago that from now on, the owner and the shop will be under the charge of the young lady, so if you come over today, I will know."

“No wonder my brothers and sisters say that shopkeeper Song is very capable and really has a sharp eye.”

　　After hearing this, Song Xian did not shirk or be humble. It could be seen that he still recognized his ability, and then made a gesture of invitation to his sister-in-law. “It’s cold outside, so please sit inside, madam.”

Sister-in-law Liu smiled and entered the house with her entourage.

 In the inner room, the furnishings are simple but clean and tidy. There are some style drawings on the Eight Immortals table, and it can be seen that Song Xian is selecting them.

"This is the style of silverware that Yinlou will promote next. I am looking through it now. Please take a look at it, Madam."

 As for the situation of Rongan Silver House, Mrs. Liu, her sister-in-law, only knew the name and the fake account book, so she didn’t know much about it.

She didn’t intend to do the job of a layman leading an expert as soon as she came, so she said with a slight smile.

"I don't know anything about this matter. It's up to shopkeeper Song to make his own decision."

Seeing this, Song Xian didn't insist. He just stepped forward and made some arrangements and put them aside before serving tea to his sister-in-law Liu.

 The tea is not expensive, but the aroma is not bad.

Sister-in-law Liu took a sip and said something with the corners of her mouth raised.

 “It’s refreshing.”

Song Xian always likes to drink strong tea, but obviously the taste of this tea is too strong for his sister-in-law.

For this reason, he didn't say much, turned around and went to the back. After a while, he brought out a small box, which contained the account books of the shop he had managed in the past few years.

 In the inner room, Mother Ou was with her sister-in-law Liu, but she did not leave.

Although the Daxing Dynasty allowed widows to marry for the second time and the custom was not so strict, the eldest sister-in-law Liu was also the former wife of the young prince in the Duke's palace and had a royal title, so it was better to be more careful not to follow the truth.

Seeing that the mother owl did not leave, Song Xian understood something in his heart.

 So, behave respectfully and take two steps back, keeping a certain distance.

When Mother Ou saw this, she felt that this person was very sensible, so she was not as serious as before.

Sister-in-law has read the "fake account book" written by him dozens of times in the past few days, so she is already very familiar with his handwriting, and it is not difficult to read it.

 The handwriting is clear, the numbers are neat, and there is no mistake at all. The more my sister-in-law looks at it, the more she admires it.

After a while, he closed the account book and said to shopkeeper Song.

"I've seen what you're capable of. You did a good job with the accounts. If I hadn't known in advance that there was a problem, I might not have been able to find any flaws even if I had torn through the accounts. That's why I got help from Shopkeeper Song. , I'm very happy, and I hope you can take more care of her in the future."

“Don’t worry, young lady, since Rongan Silver House has changed its owner, Song Xian will naturally be your subordinate. He has no other skills, but he still knows a little bit about business.”

 After hearing what he said, Mrs. Liu, the elder sister-in-law, had nothing to worry about.

 In fact, she also knew in her heart that the reason why Song Xian was obeying her at this moment was mainly because of the explanation given by her younger brother and sister Du Jingyi.

 So she was very determined in her heart to make this person her confidant.

So he smiled politely and said.

"That's good."

　　After a brief chat at Rongan Yinlou, sister-in-law Liu revealed the purpose of going out today.
