Xianjin's tone was rather urgent.
The manager behind the counter of Hengji Paper Shop also followed this tone and gathered the people together. He was shocked and stammered, "We... our eldest girl..." "Hey, she has been led astray by her ancestors. "Manager He, in our family, men and women have the same order. In our family, she is called Wu Niang!"
Fifth Mother shit!
The four brothers of the same generation from the next room, together with the two uncles of the previous generation, were either "scholars" who were fond of romance and did not know how expensive food and firewood are, or they were good at playing with cats and birds, eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. These men "know half of everything in the world and everything on earth", but they could not even do accounting, knew nothing about the family business, and looked down on it.
The sick old man Hengji looked around while struggling to survive, and suddenly found that Heng Wuniang, who had attended a private school with her brothers, seemed to be, seemed to be, perhaps, possibly, not bad?
This is why Heng Wu Niang was pushed forward to work for her brothers and to establish a kingdom for her only brother.
After doing this, Old Man Heng passed away, leaving behind a mess for Heng Wu Niang.
Heng Wuniang was a noble person with her arrogance and persistence. Not only did she not take a penny from running the family business, she also said, "I will hand over all the family business to my younger brother when he gets married and has children."
What a free labor force with great spirit of sacrifice and dedication...
——This was something Xianjin found out without much effort.
Xianjin smiled perfunctorily and said, "Where is your shopkeeper?"
The guy pointed his index finger inside.
Xianjin lifted her skirt and rushed inside.
The waiter finally realized what was happening and shouted, "This is not our shopkeeper's! Our Liu Langjun is the shopkeeper!"
Xianjin pushed the door open with a "bang", which scared Heng Wuniang who was settling the accounts. She turned around abruptly, and when she saw it was Xianjin, she patted her chest. Just as she was about to speak, Xianjin covered her mouth calmly.
"Listen to me."
Xianjin touched the little girl's tender face. It felt very smooth, just like a tender, juicy fried egg.
Xianjin was very satisfied with what he touched.
"There is a big business, do you want to do it?" Xianjin said in a concise tone.
Heng Wuniang widened her eyes and nodded heavily without thinking.
Xianjin said, "Tsk, you have to say it!"
Heng Wuniang rolled her eyes and pushed Xianjin's arm with both hands, "You have to let go of your hands first!"
Xianjin was stunned - Oh, sorry, I was just overwhelmed by the wealth.
"Do it, do it." Heng Wuniang closed the account book and brought a stool to Xianjin. "Tea or fruit juice?"
Xianjin shook his head, "I just had cheese and cakes at Mr. Xiong's place, and my stomach is swirling, so I won't drink anything."
Heng Wuniang blinked, "Business from the government office?"
Xianjin nodded and said concisely, "The business of books for the civil service examinations, papers for the autumn examinations and official schools is not big, and the selling price does not exceed four hundred taels, but the subsequent business and profits are immeasurable. If we can get this business, our two families will have a firm foothold in Xuancheng, and even in the entire Southern Zhili."
Heng Wuniang lowered her head, took a sip of tea, and smiled with a curved lip. Her appearance was not too bright and stunning, but she always had a sense of aura.
Later, Xianjin discovered that this air was called bookish air.
"The price of this business is not high, which means the scale is not large; the subsequent benefits are strong, which means it is a once-and-for-all matter; Mr. Xiong asked you to go, instead of Hengji, the meaning is very clear..."
Heng Wuniang didn't think she could compete with Chen Ji. After the birth of Kesi Shanhaijing Xuan paper, Chen Ji's series of violent actions made her realize that "if there is Yu, why is there Liang?" At least in this generation, Heng Ji could only follow Chen Ji and pick up the meat and drink the soup.
Heng Wu Niang smiled and continued, "This kind of business is hard to come by, there is no need for you to bring Heng Ji along with you - unless there is a risk."
If one person takes on a risk of ten points, it is ten points; if two people take on the risk, it is five points each.
Although profits are reduced, the probability of sinking is also reduced.
Xianjin was not surprised that Heng Wuniang was smart: people learn to be obedient from books. It is said that when Heng Wuniang and her brothers were studying in a private school, they studied hard during the coldest days of winter and the hottest days of summer. She was a person who worked hard.
Xianjin propped his hands on his knees and spread his legs slightly to make his lower body more stable. He nodded noncommittally, "There are safe ways to play, and there are extremely risky ways to play. The safe way has a fifty-fifty chance of winning, and the high-risk way has a chance of winning... seventy to eighty."
Xianjin's face was calm, "It depends on whether Boss Heng is willing to spend money to gamble on this extra chance of winning."
Heng Wuniang frowned. She had been able to follow along before, but now she didn't understand what Xianjin meant at all. "Fighting style? What fighting style?"
Xianjin glanced at the clock and asked directly, "Is there any money in the account?"
Heng Wuniang opened the box in a daze and took out a handful of silver bills.
Xianjin shook his head, "Real money, no notes needed."
Heng Wuniang was even more confused. After thinking for a while, she said, "There are still nearly five... four... three hundred taels of silver on the account..."
Xianjin: ...Your defensive attitude is too obvious.
Heng Wu Niang felt a little embarrassed after she finished speaking, and hurriedly said, "...But I still have about 40 taels of silver in my personal savings."
Xianjin:...
Is forty taels of silver also called money?
What a selfless "brother-supporting demon".
Xianjin shook his head. "Public accounts are public accounts, private accounts are private accounts. Just take the five... four... three hundred taels of silver on the account."
Heng Wuniang's cheeks turned red.
Xianjin smiled disapprovingly, "Let's go and have a look this afternoon. If you think it's risky, forget it and just ignore what I said. But if you think it's feasible, our two families won't have to plan against each other anymore." Xianjin seemed to remember something, "If you act on your own, will the elders at home criticize and blame you?"
Heng Wuniang glanced at Xianjin and said, "If I win, I won't be praised, but I won't be blamed either; but if I lose..."
Heng Wuniang clenched her teeth, as if biting the back of fate's neck. After a long while, she finally gave up and smiled sadly, "If I lose, my situation won't be any more difficult. At most, I'll be married off to the housekeeper or accountant in advance, and continue to work for the Heng family like a puppet."
Xianjin stood there with his hands folded across his chest. After a moment of silence, he raised his chin and said calmly, "For me, He Xianjin, a 70-point winning rate is already very stable."
......
The mule cart clattered along the country road. Heng Wuniang swayed from side to side. In a daze, she leaned on Xianjin's shoulder and fell asleep. When she woke up, Xianjin pushed her back down. She heard a very calm voice comforting her, "It's still early, go back to sleep."
Heng Wuniang is relieved.
Just like that rainy night, the cloak with a girl’s sweet fragrance covering my shoulders and back gave me peace of mind.
I don't know how long it took, but Heng Wu Niang woke up to the sound of a calm and gentle voice, "Wu Niang, we're here."
Heng Wuniang, sleepily, saw through the half-open curtains of the carriage a group of low workshops with white walls and black tiles, one after another.
