After sending Dou Zhao away, Dou Xiuchang immediately went to Dou Shibang and told Dou Shibang about Dou Zhao's opening of the pen shop, and said, "There is not much money, and they are all from the fourth sister. I just help me take care of it, but she only said 10,000 taels. I was afraid that she would be deceived, but I couldn't say this, and I was afraid that the fourth sister would be too careless, so I had to respond vaguely. But if this was really implicated, how could I explain to Dou and Zhao family? Others thought it was me who gravitated to the fourth sister's money from it.[]"

"Why did Shou Gu suddenly think of opening a shop?" Dou Shibang was surprised when he heard this, but he had experienced a lot of things. After thinking about it, he had a solution and smiled, "Shou Gu cannot choose a shop in person and order ink. You can just let the person in charge report the accounts in your hands."

"Yes!" Dou Xiuchang held his hands, "Why didn't I expect that if someone had the idea of ​​catching up with the fourth aunt, it wouldn't have been a loss all at once. Those who helped the fourth aunt manage the affairs can also become familiar with each other. If there are any clues, they might be able to find out earlier."

Dou Shibang nodded with a smile.

Dou Xiuchang tactfully conveyed Dou Shibang's meaning to Dou Zhao's ears.

Dou Zhao smiled and said nothing.

Half of Xi Dou's industries are not so easy to manage!

She asked Dou Shibang to help her hire a big shopkeeper.

Dou Zhao's name is a big shopkeeper with a carrot and a pit. Everyone is doing well, so why should she move around? Not everyone can do it. From an apprentice to a shopkeeper to a big shopkeeper, it is impossible without twenty years of experience. No matter who spends twenty years to train a big shopkeeper, he will not let him leave, no matter who stays in one place for twenty years. If you have achieved the success of a big shopkeeper, you have to make a new job. There must be problems. And it is difficult for you to find out the real situation if you want to inquire.

Instead of trying hard to find someone who doesn’t know who you will find, it’s better to find someone from the Dou family directly. Know the roots and be loyal and reliable.

Dou Shibang smiled and said, "How big the rules do you have to do, you have to find a big shopkeeper. I think it's almost time to find a shopkeeper."

"Since I've spoken to my third uncle once, I'm naturally going to be the best." Dou Zhao smiled and said, "I don't care what my third uncle uses. Anyway, my shop will open after the New Year. At that time, I just come and ask for people. Otherwise, I will take your big shopkeeper in Kyoto Money House to Zhending."

This is certainly impossible.

Dou Shibang laughed while pinching his beard. After several screenings, he found her from the shopkeeper at home: "...named Fan Wenshu, who is an apprentice at the age of eight, and is only 32 years old this year. He is already the second shopkeeper of Jifen Pavilion."

Jifen Pavilion is an antique shop of Dou's family in Kyoto.

Dou Zhao nodded reluctantly: "Although it's not a man who makes pen and ink, it can be considered a match, so let's just him!"

Dou Shibang could only shake his head.

Such people are still disliked. No wonder the big shopkeepers in the house were unwilling to go when they heard that Dou Zhao was a man.

The sword is given to famous scholars. How could Dou Zhao know how much it is to be the shopkeeper?

He had no choice but to promise a fan: "If the shop collapses, I will let you go to the branch in Jifen Pavilion Nanjing to be the shopkeeper."

Fan Wenshu smiled bitterly.

Is the shopkeeper so easy to do?

He must be able to take it too!

After leaving the antique industry for a few years, even if I return to Jifen Pavilion, I will lose those years of experience, and I am afraid that my eyesight will be worse than before. Moreover, the fourth lady of the Dou family is an unmarried girl's family, and I don't know where to marry in a few years.

But Master Dou San has already said this, what else can he say?

After handing over the account book, he pretended to be smiling and went to Xifu.

Ganlu muttered, "Didn't you say it to a big shopkeeper?"

"Just be content!" Dou Zhao smiled, "How many big shopkeepers do the Dou family have? We are not despised by our possessions at all." She had left room for her third uncle to bargain with her.

Ganlu went to get the Fan Wenshu in awkwardly.

When Dou Zhao saw that he was of medium figure and had a fair and honest facial features, he showed a kindness before speaking, and looked like a typical businessman. The husband had a good impression of him and explained the matter briefly, so he asked him to go to his third cousin to get the money.

Fan Wenshu was stunned for a while.

The head office is in Kyoto, and in the next five years, ten branches will be opened between Shinde and Kyoto. No explanation will be given to how big the scale is and how much funds are, and who else besides him.[]

"What else do the fourth lady have to do?" he said respectfully.

"I only have this request. For the rest, you are the shopkeeper, just do it." Dou Zhao smiled and said, "Oh," and said, "You have a second shopkeeper, named Cui and Shisan. He will not come to the shop to help in September next year."

After Fan Wenshu left, he immediately asked Cui Shisan.

The managers and shopkeepers of the Dou family were all talented, and they all knew immediately. Someone smiled and said, "It turns out that the fourth lady is going to praise Aunt Cui's family, Fan Wenshu, you are studying with the prince!"

"It doesn't matter if you accompany the prince to study," Fan Wenshu said depressedly, "I'm afraid that the prince will pretend to understand and make trouble."

Everyone laughed and said, "Are you a buyer of antiques, do you understand pen and ink?"

Cui Shisan was also asking, just asking Dou Zhao: "You asked an antique shop to sell brushes and ink, and you still asked me to be your second shopkeeper?"

Arguing with Cui Shisan, Dou Zhao did not do such thankless things in his previous life. She said bluntly: "This is what Aunt Cui agreed."

"Are you fooling me?" Cui Shisan's eyes turned and said, "Then I'll go and ask Aunt Cui."

Old God Dou Zhao was drinking tea on the ground.

Cui Shisan was discouraged.

Dou Zhao asked him: "What's going on over Bo Yan?"

"We found a lot of things that others didn't know about." Cui Shisan was furious when he heard this. "There was a village in Xiping who quietly opened more than 200 acres of wasteland. It has been six years since it was not discovered. There is also Quyang Bridge, and the yellow scale book contains only 200 acres of fertile land. But looking at the village situation, it seems that more than 200 acres of... "

Dou Zhao was shocked: "You have discovered this." He hurriedly told Cui Shisan, "You can't talk nonsense, be careful not to harm the people."

"I know." Cui Shisan said disapprovingly, "If you cut off other people's wealth, others will cut off your life. I still know the severity of these. It's just that you ask, so I said I'll help you to relieve your boredom."

Dou Zhao thought that Dou Qijun was from the censor, so he could not let go. While he was going to pay tribute to his sixth aunt, he turned him to his third cousin's wife to explain to Dou Qijun.

"Aunt Four, please rest assured. I am not seventeen or eighteen-year-old man. I just pounced on him with my passion."

You are only two or three years older than a young man of seventeen or eight years old.

Dou Zhao muttered in his heart. He stood up and said goodbye.

I met Wu Shan and Dou Zhengchang on the way.

The two of them walked, whispered to each other and didn't know what they were saying, and their expressions were a little depressed.

Dou Zhao walked up to say hello to them.

The two were shocked, and forced a smile and said a few words to Dou Zhao, then hurried to the school.

Dou Zhao was full of confusion, but he was only confused for a moment and he didn't catch up and find it.

When I returned home, I saw my grandmother and Ganlu, Su Juan and others were wiping their tears.

"Shou Gu, don't die tough." Grandmother's eyes were red, "What do you know from the two little girls' families? You'd better send someone to help!"

Dou Zhao felt a little depressed and asked someone to send a message to Zhao Liangbi of Zhending. He asked her to help Bi Suxin and sisters Be Sulan handle the funeral. He invited Mr. Chen and went to Zhendingzhou together the next day.

The Bei Martial Arts Hall has been white, and many people come in and out, including powerful men of Kong Wu, thin old men, and a few vendors who have just gone to deliver fish. Everyone looked heavy, or they sent three sacrifices. Or they just took a couplet and went to the mourning hall to burn incense for Bei Gangyi. It can be seen that Bei Gangyi has a very good relationship with people.

The manager gave the offerings, Dou Zhao flaunted three incense sticks, and Bo Suxin, who answered the visitor in front of the spirit, accompanied Dou Zhao to the main room.

"Miss." She was very haggard and made a cup of hot tea for Dou Zhao. "The weather is so cold, you just send someone here, why bother to do this trip myself?" said again, "When my father passed the first seventh day, I will enter the mansion with my sister."

Once you enter the mansion, you have to abide by the rules of the Dou family. During the Chinese New Year, the two sisters cannot wear filial piety, right?

"It's better to wait until the other owners have passed Qiqi and spring is on, so you can enter the mansion again!" Dou Zhao said, "There's no hurry to be at this moment."

Beshu thanked Dou Zhao with gratitude.

Someone outside shouted "There's a start".

Dou Zhao couldn't help but look over and saw Zhao Liangbi and Chen Xiaofeng busy helping other families greet guests.

Dou Zhao smiled slightly, did not stay for dinner, and returned to Zhending in advance.

The second wife was talking to Dou Shibang.

"The second shopkeeper is from the Cui family," said the second wife, "But the main store is in Kyoto... Could she be fighting with the Wang family?" said the second wife, confused, "But she didn't go to Kyoto at the beginning... Or was she not sure that the people from the Wang family kowtowed to recognize their relatives?"

Dou Shibang thought so too. He asked his mother: "What do you think should you do now?"

"What's wrong with it?" The second wife smiled and said, "The silver belongs to Shou Gu. She wants to make more profits for her family. This is a good thing. We need to help her!"

Zeng Yifen was almost caught by someone because Wang Xingyi did not handle the family affairs well. It was cold for several years. But Wang Xingyi was so lucky that he won many battles in Shaanxi. Even the emperor praised him as "good". There are only a few positions in the court. If you Zeng Yifen's people make such contributions, you can't stop others from mentioning them. At that time, the good positions will be occupied by others, which will be a blow to Zeng Yifen.

Dou Shibang also knew his younger brother's situation.

He smiled and said, "Fan Wenshu came to me and said he had a fancy to a shop in Hanlin Hutong, Kyoto South Street. Shougu meant to buy it. We happened to have two silk shops there. Because the layout is a bit small, the business has been quite calm. I think it would be better to sell it to Shougu. It is quite appropriate for them to make a pen and ink shop."

"Just make the decision." The second wife smiled, changed the subject and asked about the New Year: "How are you all prepared?"

"Everything is ready." Dou Shibang smiled, "The harvest in the farm this year is very good, and I have sent 4,000 kilograms of grain more than in previous years."

The second wife nodded with a smile, and a little maid came in and replied, "Miss Four is here."
