All Hail Cousin Brother

In a blink of an eye, it was November.

Yu Youyao settled down in the Xie Mansion, away from the disputes in the capital, and the rules and regulations of the Yu Mansion. The life of the Xie Mansion was undoubtedly leisurely and comfortable.

The only thing is that after coming to Quanzhou, the number of times I saw Yin Huaixi was very few, and every time, there were elders present, and due to etiquette, I didn't even have the opportunity to speak alone.

She also knows that this is the defense of men and women, and there should be rules and etiquette.

In her spare time, Yu Youyao wrote letters to friends in Yu Mansion, Yu Clan, and Beijing, and sent some special products of Quanzhou.

She lived in seclusion all day long, and Wang was worried that she would be bored at home: "You still have a few good shops in Quanzhou, do you want to go out and take a look at the shops?"

Yu Youyao froze for a moment, but didn't react.

Wang's expression turned awkward, and she thought that Yu Youyao is an official's daughter, and she was named the head of Shaoyi County, how could she just go outside to show her face?

Officials are no more than merchants, and their property is more dignified than Zhuangzi's farmland. The shop floor is still less, and it is all handed over to the family's loyal servants. Usually, they only need to report to the government.

Mrs. Wang hurriedly said: "I saw that you have come to Quanzhou for a few days, so it's better not to be bored at home all the time, and take a walk to relax, it's good for your health."

Only then did Yu Youyao come back to her senses, and she bent her lips with a smile: "Look at the shop, it's good to relax, the shops here in Quanzhou are all taken care of by my aunt, and I used to sit back and enjoy the benefits, but now I'm here Quanzhou, of course I have to go and have a look, it’s not good to continue to trouble my aunt.”

Her mother married far away in Beijing, and most of the properties under her name were re-established by the Xie family in Beijing, including shops, villages, farmland, forest land and so on.

On the contrary, there are not many industries in Quanzhou.

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she felt appropriate, and held her hand: "There are seven shops in total, three of which are the makeup shops that your mother created by herself, and the other four shops sell rare items on merchant ships. The fashionable things in Bingjing are all old shops, so I didn't bother to spend a little time looking at the ledger, there is nothing to worry about, I am worried that you will be bored if you stay at home all day, and you have something to do Do it, and people should be more down-to-earth."

However, Yu Youyao knew that the profits of these seven shops were very considerable, and they were all deposited directly into the bank, and the account books were sent to her every quarter.

It can be seen that it took care of it.

Benefits depend on people's hearts and human nature. Xie's family has a big business, so they will not be greedy for the cheapness of the seven shops, but for more than ten years, they have been running "other people's" shops with heart, and their sincerity can be seen.

"Thank you auntie,

"Yu Youyao was very moved: "Grandmother bought a house for me in Quanzhou before she was alive, and invited the uncles and aunts of the family to take care of the house. My cousin and fourth brother live there. It is rare to go out today. I think Stop by to have a look. "

Wang quickly said: "The Yu Mansion has arranged for someone to take care of you in Quanzhou. This is also a good thing. You will have nothing to do in the future. It will not hinder you to walk around more."

Yu Youyao went back to her room and changed into a lotus-colored jacket and skirt, which was light and clean without being ostentatious.

Chunxiao took a waist-length squirrel fur collared cloak, and Yu Youyao inevitably thought that every year in October, the weather in Beijing turns to winter, and in November, it is already freezing cold.

The family burned the ground dragon long ago and set up a carbon cage.

She is afraid of the cold, and every winter, she feels that the days are hard to bear, and she can't wait to eat, drink and lie on the bed.

The climate here in Quanzhou is warmer. In November, I don't feel cold even if I only wear a thin jacket.

Wang took Yu Youyao to see the shop first, and carefully explained to her the operation, procurement, and profitability of the shop, and even took her to check the accounts.

It's all about business, and it's a little different from what Yu Youyao learned about keeping accounts, housekeeping, and managing affairs in the Yu Mansion.

Yu Youyao listened with great interest.

Seeing that she was interested, Mrs. Wang taught her how to talk and do business, and then said: "The Lin family is also one of the most wealthy businessmen in Quanzhou, and their main business is medicinal herbs and spices. The Lin family gets the goods, and some small businesses of the Lin family are all handled by Ms. Lin. It just so happens that you want to buy a batch of spices and medicinal materials in your shop. If you are interested, I will ask Ms. Lin to come out for you another day. How about leaving the business to you to discuss?"

A room full of brats, not even a single person who can speak their minds. It's okay for the daughters of the same family to talk about business, gain insights, and hone it. Xiao Yaoer came to Quanzhou, after all. It is necessary to meet people of the same age, and it will be more lively to walk around in the future.

Mrs. Wang mentioned some things about the Lin family.

Yu Youyao's heart moved, she took Wang's arm, and acted like a baby: "This is the first time I'm talking about business, my aunt will teach me more."

The Lin family has such a stable source of medicinal materials. To be able to expand their business, they must have their own medicinal plant and supply channels.

There is no shortage of money and food in the northern border, but medicinal herbs and spices are materials controlled by the imperial court. During the peace period, it is necessary to be prepared for any danger, and during the famine period, the control is even stricter.

Medicinal materials are scarce materials, and many medicinal materials have special origins and special drug suppliers. It is almost transparent how many people have passed along the way.

There are many merchants dealing in medicinal materials in China, but because medicinal materials are scarce and materials are strictly controlled by the imperial court, the relationship behind them is also complicated.

It is not safe to have a bodyguard company come forward.

She also has a medicine store under her name, but they are all small businesses.

Yu Youyao inevitably asked about the situation of the Lin family: "Does Miss Lin have no brothers?"

Although the atmosphere in Quanzhou is open, if there are brothers in the family, they will not let their daughters show their faces to do business.

Mrs. Wang said meaningfully: "Master Lin's first wife, Mrs. Yan, comes from the Yan family (Chengdu) in Yizhou, Shuchuan. Daughter, the family took in several concubines and gave birth to a few concubines, but the daughter is very smart, and she helped the family to look after and check the accounts when she was young."

In just one sentence, Yu Youyao understood the key point.

There are ten authentic medicinal materials producing areas in Dazhou. Fujian belongs to the Jiangnan authentic medicinal material producing area, while Shuchuan belongs to the Sichuan medicinal material producing area. The medicinal materials produced in each area are different.

Through marriage, the Lin family and the Yan family have achieved a win-win situation in which Jiang Yao is sold in Sichuan, Sichuan Yao is sold in Jiang, and what is needed is exchanged.

Yan's family has no children, but has a powerful natal family, how could she just watch the concubine climb on top of her to do his best?

Quanzhou is an important place for business and trade, with an open atmosphere, and businessmen value profits over courtesy.

Miss Lin is a woman with the support of Yan's mother and the Yan family behind her. As long as the Lin family does not want to give up the cooperation with Yan's, Jiang and Sichuan medicinal materials, they will not give up on Miss Lin.

What's more, in the future, the business dealings between the Lin family and the Yan family will all go through Ms. Lin.
