Chapter 195 Before Going to Beijing
Chapter 195 Before Going to Beijing
Song Sanniang didn't care what Liu Zezheng and the others thought in their hearts. She just told them her request, and Song Zuren and Song Ming backed off first, because her first request was to not be afraid of trouble, even if it was a high-ranking official.
Then he said that he might not be able to go home once a year. Liu Zehuan thought of his family and gave up.
The next requirement was that this person should be smart, adaptable, fearless, and humble. Han Changming felt that this requirement was not suitable for him, so he gave up.
There were still three candidates left: Liu Zezheng, Liu Zecheng, and Li Xian. Song Sanniang looked at the three and said, "Those who think they have ambitions and can accomplish great things should step forward."
When these words came out, the three of them looked at each other. Liu Zezheng and his brother looked at each other, and they didn't dare to stand up. But Li Xian remembered that he had promised to make money for his brother to marry a wife, so he resolutely stood up.
Song Sanniang looked at his still young face and asked, "What is your ambition? What do you think you can accomplish?"
If someone comes to your store to cause trouble and smash things, what can you do?
What would you do if two nobles were competing with each other in the store?
If someone offered you a huge sum of money and asked you to tell him the secrets of your store, what would you do?
This series of questions made him a little confused. Song Sanniang gave him time to think and did not rush him.
She asked Liu Zezheng and the other man to think about it and if they felt they could answer these questions, they could do so.
After a while, Li Xian only answered that he wanted to be a shopkeeper and make money. As for other questions, his answers were all about reporting to the authorities.
The answers given by Liu Zezheng and others are better, but they are also similar.
Song Sanniang was a little disappointed. She originally wanted to give the opportunity to young people, but they were really too young.
So she told all the employees in the three stores about this good opportunity and asked them to come to her and answer the questions she asked if they wanted to get the opportunity. She gave everyone two days.
While she started preparing to go to Beijing, she also visited the Jin family. Jin Zhaohua was married, and she was looking for Jin Zhengan.
This time she went to the Jin family and met Jin Zheng'an's daughter-in-law, Lan, a lovely girl with a unique surname.
She is very cute. Although she is married, she still looks like a little girl. When she looks at people with her big watery eyes, she looks as cute as the fur on her body.
She looked at Song Sanniang curiously. She knew about Song Sanniang from her sister-in-law and her younger brother. She also liked to eat sweet things.
Song Sanniang saw her eyes, smiled and greeted her, and then the two of them got to know each other.
"You're going to the capital? Have you decided?" Jin Zhengan asked in surprise.
"Yes, it's decided. Sister Jun and I have also agreed that I will take her boat to Beijing." Song Sanniang replied.
"I really envy you for being so free." Jin Zhaoyi held her chin and pouted.
"Hey, who should envy whom? I run around everywhere to earn some hard-earned money, and you guys don't have to do anything and have a mountain of gold and silver," Song Sanniang said with a jealous look.
Everyone laughed when they heard this, but after laughing, Jin Zhengan asked, "What are you doing here today?"
"I came here today to ask you to help look after my shop. I probably won't be back for half a year, and my family is worried about me. After thinking about it, I think you are the only ones I can entrust my work to." Song Sanniang said seriously.
"I thought you were going to borrow money from me, haha, I didn't expect it was this. It's okay, leave it to us. I promise that everything will be fine when you return home."
Jin Zhengan was also not vague. In his heart, Song Sanniang was now like a younger sister, and taking care of her family was not a big problem.
Song Sanniang felt relieved after hearing Jin Zhengan's words. She thanked him and then chatted with him for a while.
Jin Zhaoyi asked, "Do you have enough money? Do you want us to lend you some? The land in the capital is very expensive. You will have to spend a lot of money to open a store."
"Yes, we don't have much except money. If you are short of money, don't be polite to us." Jin Zhaotong said with a smile.
Song Sanniang could only laugh at this invisible display of wealth, "Thank you rich ladies for your kindness. I am going to the capital to rent a shop to do business, not to buy one. I still have enough money.
And if I don't have enough money, I still have a wallet. I've asked your uncle to cooperate with me. "After saying that, she smiled proudly.
Everyone suddenly realized, Jin Zhengan nodded and said, "You have found the right person. He is indeed in charge of many of the He family's businesses. He has a lot of money and a wide network of contacts.
Even though he is hiding in Xiantao Mansion, he still has many ways to go even if he leaves Xiantao Mansion."
Song Sanniang didn't know that there was only one reason why she wanted to cooperate with Mr. He San. His thighs were thick enough. After all, he had wanted to cooperate with her before.
The reason for not looking for Miss He for cooperation was that she was going to get married after all, and she didn't know the specific situation of her husband's family at that time, so she didn't look for Miss He. Moreover, Miss He felt a little embarrassed that Xiantao Mansion took the share for free.
After staying at the Jin family for a while, Song Sanniang went to the Tan family again and told Mr. Tan that she was going to the capital. When Mr. Tan heard that she was going to the capital, he looked at her with shining eyes and asked, "Why are you going to the capital?"
So she told him about opening a branch store in Beijing. The old man knew it had nothing to do with his furniture business, so he sighed and made Song Sanniang laugh.
"Your old man has now handed over all the odd jobs to outsiders. You are so busy. You must take good care of your health. I still want to make a few more decades of money from you."
Mr. Tan laughed, "Then I will accept your advice and live a few decades longer." After laughing, he asked, "How do you know that I sent the job out?"
Song Sanniang told her second uncle about his life, and then mentioned that she wanted Master Tan to give her second uncle some profitable work. Master Tan agreed to it out of respect.
She thought that she would not be able to come back so soon. It would be bad if Master Tan's shop did not have new products for half a year.
So I told Master Tan about some of the modern wooden furniture that I had in mind, and then we discussed the new product plan for the first half of the year.
Then Song Sanniang went to the Tan family and told the Tan family women that she was going on a long journey. Hearing that she was going on a long journey, the Song family members were very surprised. They were almost the representatives of the women in the inner house. It was estimated that the longest journey they had traveled was to get married.
Everyone told Song Sanniang to be careful on the road, and everyone opened boxes and gave her some things to take to the capital.
For example, Song gave her a gray rabbit fur collared cloak, the cloak was lake blue satin, and the sleeves were embroidered with a whole circle of jasmine patterns.
Although it is made of gray rabbit fur, the fur color is uniform and shiny. The lining of the cloak is also made of rabbit fur. It is heavy and warm to the touch.
Song Sanniang felt that she didn't want to accept such a good gift, so Song pretended to be angry and said, "This is what I wore when I was a girl. None of the girls in my family like this color. If you don't accept it, I can only throw it away."
Song Sanniang had no choice but to accept it. Then everyone gave her hand warmers, thick cotton-padded clothes, blankets, and so on. Everyone gave cold-weather items because it would be very cold in the capital at this time of year as it was the thawing season, and everyone knew that.
Song Sanniang accepted all the gifts, then smiled and thanked them, and then said, "My dear sisters, when I come back, I will bring you the most fashionable things in the capital, so that you can all feel like Beijing residents for once."
Everyone laughed when they heard this. They were indeed looking forward to seeing the differences between the things in the capital and those in Xiantao Prefecture. Some couldn't help but ask Song Sanniang to bring some things, and Song Sanniang wrote them down one by one.
