As soon as he returned home, Butler Yu came to report about the agricultural products exhibition!
"The palace ordered 20,000 kilograms first, Xiaoyao Hou ordered 10,000 kilograms, the Qi Wang Mansion also ordered 10,000 kilograms, the Wang family and the Pei family each ordered 2,000 kilograms, and there was no movement from other noble families.
However, Prince Xu has sold a lot of goods in the shop in the past two days, and has received a lot of scattered orders. The first batch of 100,000 kilograms was sold out on the same day. I have arranged for them to go to Laohu Town to pick it up tomorrow. "
"Don't worry about Prince Xu for now. We are only responsible for large orders over 5,000 kilograms. Take them directly to Linshui Town and deliver the goods on the spot once the ship from Laohu Town arrives. Once the matters in the capital are settled, I will return to Laohu Town first!"
Butler Yu knew that Laohu Town was definitely getting busy right now, and Qiao Xin had to go back to take charge of the situation.
But Qiao Xin is indispensable in the capital. The Second Master has to attend court every day and his energy is really limited. He has already tried his best to take over the miscellaneous affairs of the inner house, and the Second Lady has not yet completely lost control of the overall situation.
But what happened yesterday still needs the decision of the old lady.
"What's wrong?"
Butler Yu hesitated for a moment, but still told the story.
What he considers a big thing may be a small thing in the old lady's eyes, and what he considers a small thing may be a big thing. As a servant, Yu Guanjia always remembers that what he considers to be good or bad is not important, but what the master considers to be good or bad is important, and he should never make decisions for the master.
"Would you rather break the contract than sell it?"
"Yes, the jade pendant was also taken away. The shopkeeper said that our young master stole it. The young masters did not bother with them. They took the compensation and planned to find a new merchant to order it. But the second lady was so angry that she did not go out for the past two days."
"If I'm not mistaken, these two shops are somewhat related to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, right?"
"Yes, the one who has a conflict with the young masters is the grandson of the right prime minister, named Lu Le. His mother is from the Jiangnan Lu family, a family that has been making rouge and powder for generations. Ninety percent of the rouge shops in Dajingjing City are owned by their family."
"No wonder he is so confident. He can control people just by saying so. But this style is too overbearing. I know what's going on."
"The shop that the second young master ordered is the dowry of the concubine of the Prince Qi's Mansion."
Qiao Xin frowned, "Why is there something about Prince Qi's Mansion involved here?"
"Concubine Wen and the Right Prime Minister's daughter-in-law are cousins ​​from the same clan."
Qiao Xin immediately understood, "Oh, it looks like they are planning to unite and suppress our Qiao family."
If these methods were used by a newly rising family, it would definitely be a disaster, but they happened to encounter an outlier named Qiao Xin.
Qiao Xin doesn't think her family is at fault in this matter, it's just a conflict of interests. If she wants to live, she has to compromise. Apologizing will only make others more reluctant to let her go.
The more you endure, the angrier you will be; the more you take a step back, the more you will feel at a loss. People who always endure are never happy; people who always give in will never really have a broad mindset.
Just do it, it’s done!
"Go and inform everyone and tell them that I have something to say!"
Since she is shameless even though you give her face, don't blame her for being ruthless!
She originally thought that the capital was the territory of the major families, so she would not take a share of the pie. After all, if any of her own products were sold, it would be a dimensionality reduction attack on them.
Qiao Xin originally planned to occupy the market in Nanliang through the Wang family, but now that they have come to provoke her, why should she worry so much!
The business world is like a battlefield, it’s either you die or I die.
If the Qiao family wants to rise, it will inevitably affect the interests of some people, and who wins and who loses will depend on their own abilities.
Qiao Xin had been mentally prepared for today's situation.
It is easy to imagine how many people would be jealous and resentful if a poor peasant family with no foundation suddenly started a rebellion.
Some people, even if they haven't blocked his way, will hate you just because they can't stand your rise. He will be happy only when you are not doing well. This is human nature!
This time, the people from the Right Prime Minister's Mansion are taking the lead, and those who have long wanted to take action against the Qiao family will surely rush out.
It's time to see whether it's an enemy or a friend.
Upon learning that Qiao Xin had returned home, Zhang, who had been sulking alone for two days, couldn't help but feel nervous.
She looked at Qiao Yunqing who acted as if nothing had happened and asked, "My dear, if my mother knew that I had an argument with someone just because I went to buy some gouache, would she be very angry?"
Qiao Yunqing knew that his wife was somewhat afraid of her adoptive mother. She would get stuck in a rut whenever something happened, and it was a temperament that she could not change.
I couldn't help but say, "You underestimate your mother's character. As long as it's not your fault, she will only stand up for you. You should learn from Erlang and the others and trust your mother more."
Everyone knew that Qiao Xin was the kind of patriarch who would always bother the younger generation. Since she had someone notify them, there must be something important to say. Everyone could not help but quicken their pace.
As soon as the greetings were over, Qiao Xin got straight to the point and said,
"You came at the right time. I just happened to tell you something. I have heard about what happened to the second son's wife and the boys. It was just a way for some noble families to control people.
Don't take it to heart. They are not targeting you alone, but our Qiao family. Since others don't sell, we can make and sell them ourselves. Isn't it just rouge, powder, pots and pans? We make them ourselves in the Qiao family!"
What, do it yourself?
Everyone was shocked. Regardless of whether this could be done or not, the old lady's words sounded so firm!
"Although we are facing the Right Prime Minister's Mansion and those noble families, there is no need to feel inferior or afraid. Our Qiao Mansion has a weaker foundation at the moment, having only accumulated wealth for a few months, while they are all noble families with a history of a hundred years. There is nothing shameful in losing. How can we be as sad as we were in Xiaoyao Village? Don't worry, good things are worth waiting for!"
Qiao Xin motioned Zhang to come forward: "Your sister-in-law manages a snack shop. I know you always think I am partial to her. Now I will give you a chance. I bought a shop in the prosperous area of ​​East Street. The whole street there is full of people selling rouge and powder.
I'll ask my second brother to go with you tomorrow to have a look. Once the decoration is complete, we'll open a rouge and powder shop and let you run it. Do you dare to take over?"
"I?"
Zhang looked up at Qiao Xin, thinking she had misheard. She subconsciously glanced at her son and husband, and found that they were waiting for her answer, and finally realized that this was not a dream.
It turned out that her mother-in-law knew all her little thoughts, but never blamed her.
Although she was not convinced, she knew she was not as calm as her elder sister-in-law. It was understandable that her mother-in-law was worried.
I originally thought that my mother-in-law would give her a few more years of experience, but I didn't expect that she would let me take charge so soon.
But it is not so easy to run a rouge shop. She doesn't know anything. She remembered what her husband said when he went out, that she should try to trust her mother-in-law more, and speak openly if she has any problems, and don't hide things, which would make her mother-in-law look down on her.
