Chapter 134: The shop is opened at the foot of the emperor
These people all have some basic skills, and it is very convenient to use them. As long as she teaches them how to do it, it will generally not be a problem. However, the entire set of four departments and six bureaus will be dispersed in two shops, and the personnel will need to be reorganized.
"That's good, but since these people have been sent out by their original owner, is there anything wrong?" This is what she was worried about. It's not that she was suspicious. You shouldn't have the intention to harm others, but you must also be on guard against others.
Yang Chenchuan scratched her pretty nose and said with a smile: "I know you have a lot of tricks. I have already checked. It is a wealthy family in the city who is returning home. There are too many people at home to take with them, so they sent some of them out. You can use them without worry."
He took out a list from his sleeve and handed it to her. It was the list of the number of people in the four departments and six bureaus. Lin Yuxi happily folded the list and stuffed it into her sleeve. She hugged his neck and said sweetly: "Thank you for your hard work, my husband."
Yang Chenchuan was flattered, and replied in a frivolous manner: "My husband has indeed worked hard, so how are you going to comfort me? Hmm?"
Lin Yuxi saw the flames flickering in his eyes and knew that he was up to something bad again. She jumped off his legs when he was not paying attention and laughed like a silver bell.
"Since you are tired, you should have a good rest. I will cook for you to comfort you for your hard work."
After saying that, he ran out. Yang Chenchuan smiled helplessly, but he felt sweet in his heart.
Lin Yuxi just went out and happened to see Liangchen Meijing standing outside the door. When he saw her come out, he bowed and wanted to go in, but immediately said: "My master is tired and is resting. He will stay outside and don't go in to disturb him."
Liangchen and Meijing's faces turned cold when they heard this, especially Meijing. Ever since the young mistress came into the house, they had been entering the house less and less frequently, and had nothing to do all day.
She was the young mistress, and they dared not disobey her. They had no choice but to stand outside the door, hoping that the young master would call them in to serve, so that the young mistress would have nothing to say.
Another day, Chijian and Cuizhu came back. The news Chijian brought back was similar to what Yang Chenchuan said. The county magistrate was really bribed by Qiu Wanjin, but Cuizhu's words made Lin Yuxi furious.
"That damn Tianxilou stole their recipe and now sells iced sugar water and roujiamo."
They set up a small stall in front of Tianxi Building, specializing in selling sweet soup and roujiamo, and their business was naturally booming.
Lin Yuxi gnashed her teeth in hatred, "Husband, let's open a shop in Kyoto. If he can steal my prescriptions to make money, then we can make money from the dignitaries in Kyoto. Let's see who will have the last laugh."
She was determined to start this battle. He wanted to make money by using her recipe, right? Then it would depend on who could make more money. If he had the guts, he could go to Kyoto and make trouble. She would see how he would act under the feet of the emperor.
Yang Chenchuan raised his eyebrows and said nothing. Lin Yuxi was very angry at this time, so she ordered Lu Yun to scoop up the silver and asked, "Husband, how much silver does the shop in Kyoto cost?"
She had already started to think about it.
Yang Chenchuan couldn't help but hold his forehead when he heard her question. His wife was really decisive and did what she said. He pondered for a moment and said, "A shop similar to ours will cost at least 10,000 taels."
Lin Yuxi immediately became discouraged after hearing this. She didn't have 10,000 taels!
He sat dejectedly in the chair, looking a little listless.
When Yang Chenchuan saw this, he pursed his lips tightly, with a look of annoyance in his eyes.
"My dear, don't worry about this matter. Leave it to your husband. I have my own way to deal with him. Just focus on the new shop."
Lin Yuxi pouted. She was very angry, but there was nothing she could do so she had to listen to him.
He also asked about the situation of Zheng Laoshi and Niu Gazi.
When Cuizhu saw Zheng Laoshi covered in wounds and with blood stains on his clothes, she burst into tears. Fortunately, the doctor found that there was nothing serious and that the internal injuries would heal after taking a few more medicines and resting for a few days. Niu Gaizi only had external injuries, which would be fine after taking some medicine.
Zheng Laoshi needs to take two doses of the medicine every day. He is afraid that his family will worry, so he has kept it a secret from them until now. Cuizhu was hesitant to speak. Lin Yuxi already knew what she was thinking, so she gave her a few days off to take care of Zheng Laoshi.
"Sir, how long will your method take? Zheng Laoshi has internal injuries and the prison is very humid. If he is delayed any longer, he may contract a long-term disease."
Yang Chenchuan knew this, and comforted her: "Don't worry, it can be done in the next two days, just wait for my news."
Lin Yuxi asked him to tell her what the method was, but he kept it a secret and refused to say. She had no choice but to give up.
Let’s talk about the two maids. When the Second Wife learned that the maids she carefully selected had become laundry maids, she was so angry that she yelled and cursed for the whole day.
When the first and second wives learned that Lin Yuxi had accepted the maid sent by the second wife, the former smiled indifferently and immediately picked out two good-looking ones and had them sent over. Even Diwu Xufang joined in the fun and sent one over.
However, the Second Madam came to Tingyuxuan in a hurry, and was slightly relieved when she heard that the two maids were demoted to the laundry room.
When the Second Madam saw him, she first glanced at Yang Chenchuan, and then comforted Lin Yuxi, "Silly child, it's hard for you, why did you just let him do what he wanted?"
She didn't know how to answer, so she lowered her head and said, "My aunt, my second aunt, and my eldest sister-in-law are also worried that my husband has no one to serve him. Yuxi is a junior, so it's not easy for them to refuse."
The Second Madam naturally knew Lin Yuxi's difficulties and could only sigh, "How about I send two of them over to help you?"
The Second Lady had good intentions. She felt sorry for Lin Yuxi and was afraid that she couldn't handle it alone, so she sent two people to help her deal with those people with bad intentions.
Lin Yuxi couldn't help but get anxious after hearing this, and glared at Yang Chenchuan. Didn't he say that the Second Madam wouldn't send anyone over? Why did he send two more now? Their yard is small and can't hold so many people!
Yang Chenchuan was also innocent. It seemed like he had done nothing, and he had received so many cold stares in vain. He quickly stopped the Second Madam and said, “Mother, even you have come to join in the fun. I know which ones should be kept and which ones should not be kept. Don’t worry about it. Anyway, the people have been sent here, and how we deal with them is our business. They have no right to interfere.”
Lin Yuxi continued, "My husband asked those three to sweep the yard, saying that the yard was very dusty and needed to be swept four or five times a day."
The Second Madam was very comforted after hearing this. She pinched Yang Chenchuan's ear and pulled Lin Yuxi. Her beautiful eyes were full of worry. Since they were specially selected maids, it would be troublesome to keep them in the courtyard. "Do you plan to keep them forever?"
Lin Yuxi never thought of leaving such a big hidden danger. It would have to be removed sooner or later. It was just a matter of time.
The two maids of the Second Wife were a warning, but they turned a blind eye and acted on purpose.
Don't think that they are easy to bully and that they can do whatever they want to you. Now that the person has entered their yard and the indenture is in their hands, they can do whatever they want, but they have no right to do so.
