    Chapter Table of Contents Which Mr. Su

    The weather has been gloomy and windy these days, and it seems like it will snow at any time.

    The snow has not yet arrived, but the weather has made people unbearable. The once bustling streets were so lonely and cold that there were few pedestrians.

    Even the roadside stalls closed early when there was no business, and the road looked a lot more open for a while.

    A carriage stopped in front of the Qianyu Pavilion. After a while, a servant in Tsing Yi got out of the carriage first. His height looked like that of a bookboy, but his skin was smooth, his posture was pretentious, and the two inexplicable beards on his face were really weird.

    Seeing that he himself seemed disapproving, he quickly got off the small stool.

    “Sir, be careful, the wind is a bit strong.”

    “Yeah.”

    I saw an even stranger person coming out of the carriage.She is also extremely petite in stature. A black belt outlines her slender waist. Looking up from the waistline, she is wearing a bamboo hat, and the hanging black gauze completely covers her face.

    When Xiao Si at the door of the store saw this dress, he ran in anxiously.

    “Shopkeeper Ma, Mr. Su is here again.”

    Shopkeeper Ma rolled his eyes and said, “What are you doing anxiously? The account books have been kept clearly these days. I’m still afraid that he won’t succeed.”

    Xiaoshu reported that there was no reward and was scolded instead, which made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

    “Tch, I don’t know who was trained to death just a few days ago.”

    “What did you say?”

    “Hey, the little one has to go and get busy first.”

    Xiaosi ran to the door and happened to meet the two people who came in. He quickly bent down and said, “Hello, Master Su. Brother Xiaoliu looks good today.”

    Liu’er hated such flattering people the most, so she glanced at he and followed the lady in.

    Xiao Si returned to the door and hummed.

    What kind of air does a little girl have? If a man is blind, he can’t even see it.

    But looking at those small eyes and small nose, he should look pretty good. If so,

    You can’t marry such a good-looking woman.

    Shopkeeper Ma also put on a smiling face and greeted him, “Master Su is here. Are you going to check the accounts today? I’m already ready.”

    Su Tao sat down at the table, drank some hot tea and lowered her voice.

    “Well, bring it.”

    She’s accounting book is now fast and accurate, and she also likes to read it.

    Soon she finished all the calculations for the past few days, “Not bad. I remembered the account books clearly and clearly these past few days, and the numbers are all correct.”

    Before shopkeeper Ma could breathe a sigh of relief, Su Tao said again.

    “But has business been so deserted recently?”

    “Yes, the weather has been bad recently, and no one likes to go out.”

    “Is this the only reason?”

    Su Tao turned forward some pages and then closed the entire account book.

    “I have been looking through last year’s account books for the past two days. Although business has decreased at this time in previous years, it is not so deserted. At that time, the sales volume in December was 30,000 taels of silver, but now you can see that it is 20,000 taels.”

    Shopkeeper Ma wiped the sweat from his forehead, “Young master, you are really not a slacker. Every time you purchase goods, you must strictly review them personally. We also choose the latest and latest fabric patterns and styles, and even offer discounts. But Qianyu Pavilion in the next street is too shameless. No matter what style we buy, they always follow the trend quickly, and the price is cheaper than us. But I guarantee that the quality is not as good as ours.”

    “Hmph, what’s the name of Qianyu Pavilion? You know plagiarism is really shameless.”

    Liu Er angrily said, “Master, why do people still buy from such a shameless store?”

    Shopkeeper Ma sighed, “Hey, the people who go there are all cheap people. It’s not surprising that they don’t have the eyesight. It’s just weird to say that the aristocratic ladies in the capital don’t like to come to our store anymore. They would rather go to those aristocratic ladies who like Silk Yunxuan. The clothing styles in our store are obviously more novel and good-looking. SheThey are not coming either.I also asked someone to inquire, it seems that some noble ladies are the leader.I don’t know how our Qianyu Pavilion offended those nobles.Mr. Su, you have a noble status, what do you know?”

    Su Tao picked up the tea cup and put it down again, “I know about this, and I will find a way.”

    “Hey, most of those civilians just buy small things like cloth, needlework, and so on. The bulk of it is still bought by these noble ladies. If Mr. Su can find a way to solve the problem, it shouldn’t be a problem for our store’s sales to return to 70 to 80%.”

    “Yeah.”

    “By the way, the heating bag I asked you to make for me a few days ago is so good.”

    “It’s ready. I’ll let someone bring the little one here.”

    Shopkeeper Ma took out the heat bag from the tray with both hands and handed it to him respectfully.In my heart, I was extremely disdainful of this flashy thing.

    Ordinary heating bags are made from a whole piece of cowhide, and the cost is no longer acceptable to ordinary people, and they are not as light and delicate as the small heaters favored by nobles.

    For such an insignificant thing, Mr. Su also covered it with a layer of luxurious plush and stuffed spices into the inner layer, making the whole heating bag look even more bloated.

    It’s such a big thing that it feels awkward to hold in your arms.

    “Well done.”

    Su Tao was very satisfied. The plush fit perfectly with the warm bag and could be easily removed and changed, which almost met her innermost requirements.

    Before leaving, he said, “I have thought about some designs recently. I will draw them in two days and send them to the workshop.”

    Shopkeeper Ma’s face almost turned green.

    He doesn’t think Mr. Su is really capable of inviting all those noble ladies back, but he is very good at ruining his own business.

    Before Su Tao went out, she passed by a middle-aged man in yellow clothes.

    When Xiaosi saw that the person was not leaving, he couldn’t help but turn around and said with a smile, “Why don’t Boss Huang leave?”

    Huang Qin withdrew his gaze from the small waist and asked, “Who was that just now?”

    “Oh, that’s our new steward, Mr. Su.”

    Huang Qin laughed so hard that his fat muscles trembled, and his eyes narrowed into slits, “This is not Mr. Su, this is Miss Su.”

    Xiaosi smiled apologetically, “Oh, I don’t know this kid. But some people are guessing whether it’s Mr. Su from Hangzhou.”

    “No way,” Huang Qin was surprised, “That Mr. Su is a scholar, how could he come to do business?”

    “But Miss Su is not married yet, so I might as well be the scholar who is frail and wearing a bamboo hat. Who knows who he is.”

    Su Tao took off her bamboo hat as soon as she got on the carriage, and a layer of sweat broke out on her forehead in the winter.

    Liu’er smiled and held up the sweat towel, “Miss is getting more and more angry now, and she has calmed down shopkeeper Huang.”

    Su Tao wiped her sweat and glanced at her, “Your mustache is getting better and better.”

    “Hey, practice makes perfect.”

    Liu’er touched the heating bag and praised, “This feels really good, but why did the lady give Mr. Su this thing?”

    After being out for a while, Su Tao’s fingers were a little stiff. She took the hot water and poured some hot water into the heating bag. “He will take the exam in more than a month. I heard that the exam room is small and cold. The smell of smoke from the stove is too strong, and the hand stove is easy to turn when placed in the pocket. I think a heating bag is the most suitable. I can also put it under the quilt when I sleep at night.”

    The heating bag gradually bulged, the hot water heated the spices, and a faint fragrance slowly overflowed from the hair, which was more refreshing than the smell of the incense burner.

    “Besides, I’ve troubled him a lot recently, so this is just a little care.”

    “Oh~” Liu’er smiled without revealing anything, “Miss, you are still thoughtful.”

    Su Tao was too lazy to pay attention to this crazy girl, so she closed her eyes and lay down to rest.

    But my heart gradually sank.

    It was a few aristocratic ladies who started it
