Zhang Lingshu heard yesterday that there was a new clothing store in the town, but he scoffed at it. His father is the shopkeeper of the largest cloth shop in the town, and he has never seen any good fabrics.

However, he had nothing to do today, so he planned to go to the newly opened shop with the purpose of being picky.

Like most people who came to the store for the first time, he was amazed by the novel arrangement and exquisite ready-made clothes in the store at the door, but he refused to admit it, thinking that these were all gimmicky and useless things.

There were a lot of people in the shop, and he saw a lot of old faces he used to see in Wanning cloth village. He felt uneasy. He felt that these people loved the new and disliked the old. They were obviously his old customers, but the new shop had opened, but they all came here. .

He walked to the wall where the ready-made clothes were hung, and signaled to the servant girl Xiaoyue with his eyes, Xiaoyue received his meaning, raised her head and said arrogantly: "What about Xiaoer, my young master wants to see this, take it down for me." Lu Jing is in the

album He was explaining to the guests over there, but he was surrounded by a group of people and didn't notice this side. Brother Yun just finished paying the bill of the last guest, and walked over when he heard someone shouting.

Although Lu Jing asked him to only collect money and settle accounts, he also felt distressed seeing Lu Jing so busy that he didn't touch the ground, so he took the initiative to invite some guests to entertain him. He is good-looking and has a good conversation. He listens, so when guests ask him, he speaks clearly and logically, and many wives and husbands like him.

He saw that the guest was a little brother wearing brocade, and he was wearing the same clothes designed by Lu Jing some time ago. Coincidentally, brother Yun is also wearing the same style today, and it was given by him when he proposed marriage with Lu Jing. The one made of cloth.

The two wore the same clothes, but the color and fabric were different. Zhang Lingshu saw the cotton cloth he was wearing, and felt that he was inferior to him, but Brother Yun was so good-looking that he was very good-looking, so he felt a little uncomfortable. Xiaoyue gave her a look, Xiaoyue understood, and her expression became more mean.

Seeing Brother Yun coming over and standing still, Xiaoyue said before he could say anything: "I told you to take this dress down for me to have a look, didn't you hear me?" Brother Yun explained the situation with a smile: "The

wall Please forgive me for not being able to take off the

ready-to-wear clothes for viewing at the moment." Many customers are attracted to the store by the exquisite ready-made clothes seen from the outside, and taking off the ready-made clothes is equivalent to taking off the signboard, so Lu Jing and Brother Yun The son made this rule, and the ready-made clothes hanging on the wall were not easily taken down.

They will also tell customers that if there are too many samples, they will hang them on a row of hangers under the wall for customers to watch or try. In the past two days, many people have made this request. After listening to the explanation, they all expressed their understanding and did not mess around. of.

Xiaoyue was originally listening to the young master to find fault, so she would not listen to Brother Yun's nice explanation, she said loudly: "Look, this store started to bully customers before it got bigger, I just want to see , are you still afraid that I will break it?"

The people around were attracted by Xiaoyue's voice, and they all turned their heads to look, and Lu Jing also noticed that something was wrong, so he drew back. He didn't know the previous situation, so he went to Brother Yun Holding his hand beside her, she lowered her head and asked him what's wrong in a low voice.

Zhang Lingshu was watching a play, when suddenly he saw the person he had been thinking about approaching, before he had time to be happy, he went straight to hold the hand of the little brother opposite, he was so jealous that he almost couldn't hold back He showed a hideous look in public.

It turned out that this was his husband. Zhang Lingshu looked Yun brother up and down. He was dressed in fine cotton and he didn't have any jewelry on his body.

He changed his mind quickly, put on a weak expression, and even squeezed out a bag of tears.

After Lu Jing understood the cause and effect and raised his head, he saw the little brother opposite him looking at him pitifully, he paused, isn't this the one who wanted to touch him earlier? He was in a complicated mood, why did he always have this expression when he met him twice.

Before he could speak, he heard the other party say aggrievedly: "I just want to see the ready-made clothes hanging on the wall. It's my fault that he didn't make things difficult for me." As he said, tears filled his

eyes It flowed down the side, looking very lovable.

Seeing her young master crying, Xiaoyue turned her head to Brother Yun and said viciously: "It was you who made my young master cry, you are so rude!" Brother Yun turned cold, and he said: "Don't just talk about

it , I explained in a nice way that you didn't listen, but instead you beat me up and said that I made your young master cry?"

Zhang Lingshu cried harder, as if he had been bullied a lot, and while crying, he raised his eyes to look helplessly. Xiang Lu Jing, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault, don't blame him."

The smile on Lu Jing's face faded, and he told Zhang Lingshu and other people in the store, "Brother Yun is My husband, what he said and what I said have the same effect in the shop. I believe that Brother Yun will not speak ill to people. It is a rule in the shop not to take clothes off the wall, not against you alone. If there is any negligence, Lu hereby apologizes to everyone."

The shop is full of Miss Fu Lang, and most of them don't like Zhang Lingshu, let alone some of them know Zhang Lingshu and know what kind of temperament he is, so Lu After Jing finished speaking, someone responded, "I know, we all understand, shopkeeper Lu doesn't need to apologize." "Brother Yun

is well-behaved and kind, so we believe him."

Everyone said that they missed the point , "The relationship between shopkeeper Lu and brother Yun is so good."

"That's right, it's hard to find such a dedicated man as shopkeeper Lu with a lantern. Look at the name of this shop, tsk tsk."

Many people really didn't know the name of the shop. After getting in touch with Brother Yun, and being mentioned like this at this moment, everyone suddenly realized that Lu Jing even used Fu Lang's name to name the shop.

Most of the husbands and wives in the shop are from wealthy families, and the head of the family will inevitably have three wives and four concubines. How can there be such a good relationship. Seeing Lu Jing defending Brother Yun so much, everyone is very envious.

There are also those who are not married. Although they dare not say anything due to their reputation, there is no one who is not envious of this scene. Moreover, Lu Jing is really handsome. You can also get such a wishful man.

Hearing Lu Jing's words, Zhang Lingshu almost couldn't keep his expression. He didn't expect Lu Jing to defend his husband so much. The most taboo to offend customers when opening a shop is to do business. Even his father puts customers first. This country boy He De How can?

He gritted his teeth with jealousy listening to everyone's words, and couldn't help but imagine that it would be great if Lu Jing was protecting himself. He maintained his own personality, and said to Lu Jing delicately: "Then it must be It was my maid who misunderstood, and I asked her to apologize to your husband."

Lu Jing maintained a polite smile: "No need to apologize, you can do it yourself."

Just as someone wanted to pay the bill, he called Brother Yun over, and Brother Yun saw it Looking at Zhang Lingshu, he sensed something was wrong, but he believed in Lu Jing and didn't say much.

Lu Jing squeezed Brother Yun's hand, and said softly: "Go."

Brother Yun nodded and went back to the counter. Zhang Lingshu saw that Brother Yun was gone, and was about to say something to Lu Jing when he saw Lu Jing Jing smiled at him and said: "Young Master chooses at will, I will excuse you first." After speaking, he turned and went to the album, and continued to explain to everyone.

Zhang Lingshu stared at his back sadly, thinking of everyone's praise for Lu Jing, his desire for him became stronger.

He hadn't planned to buy it at first, and now he wasn't in the mood to continue finding fault. He put his expression together and walked straight away with Xiaoyue.

Brother Yun looked up after paying the bill and saw the little brother walking out in front of him. He was thoughtful. This little brother saw the change in Lu Jing's attitude before and after it was too obvious. He couldn't do it without noticing it. Did the two know each other before?

No, Brother Lu wouldn't have such an attitude if we knew each other. Forget it, it's useless to think too much, just ask Brother Lu later.

The sun was set to the west, and the customer flow in the store gradually dispersed. Lu Jing and Brother Yun were able to catch their breath. Lu Jing also walked to the counter and sat with Brother Yun. He relied on the cover of the counter to hold Brother Yun. He hugged him into his arms and put his head on Brother Yun's shoulder.

Brother Yun knew that he was exhausted, so he didn't resist. He reached out and touched Lu Jing's forehead, and said softly: "Brother Lu, let's hire a buddy. You just need to design a new style. I'm too tired."

Lu Jing rubbed against Brother Yun's neck, and said in a low voice, "Okay, we'll put up the recruitment notice later."

When he spoke, his breath hit Brother Yun's neck, and Yun Brother flinched as if he was afraid of itching, Lu Jing caught up and took a bite lightly. He didn't use any force, and didn't even leave any teeth marks, but Brother Yun trembled, a thin layer of red covered his cheeks. face side.

Suddenly there was a voice outside the door, Brother Yun was startled, he pushed Lu Jing away and stood up, he thought it was a guest, but found that it was the brothers from the Xu family who were driving a carriage at the door. Oilcloth, it looks full.

All the fabrics in the store have been ordered this morning, and those ordered in the afternoon are all prepaid. Although Big Brother Lu said that the brothers from the Xu family will come in two days, he still has no idea.

Now seeing the brothers from the Xu family dragging a full load of goods, his heart finally fell into his stomach. He immediately forgot the embarrassment of being molested by Lu Jing just now, bowed his head and said happily to Lu Jing: "Brother Lu, It's the brothers from the Xu family who are here!"

Lu Jing was almost pushed off the stool by Brother Yun. At this time, he was looking up at Brother Yun, who was about to ask for some sweetness. Hearing what Brother Yun said, he put away his pretended expression and showed a happy expression on his face .

The two walked out of the shop together, Xu Wencheng had already jumped out of the car, and said to the two of them, "Brother Lu," he was stuck when he looked at Brother Yun, he didn't know if the two were married or not, he didn't know what to do Call him Brother Yun.

Lu Jing smiled and said, "You can just call me Brother Yun, you don't have to stick to it."

Xu Wencheng greeted Lu Jing with a smile and cupped his hands, and then said to Lu Jing: "I didn't expect Brother Lu to open the store so soon. We are in Yueyun I came here first after I got the cloth number, and now the goods are very complete, Brother Lu can choose whatever

you want." Lu Jing appreciated their affection, he kept this feeling in his heart, and said with a smile: "Thank you two brothers, please take care of me. Drive the carriage into the backyard, and we'll pick it up there."

Brother Yun went back to look at the shop, and Lu Jing took the two of them to the backyard.

After unloading the goods in the backyard and opening the box, Lu Jing realized what they said was true.

Every box was filled to the brim, and Xu Wencheng's vision was indeed trustworthy. Lu Jing looked at the cloth in the box and was very satisfied. Nan Qi heard that Brother Yun said that the goods had arrived, and ran over to join in the fun. Looking at the boxes all over the floor, Nan Qi said happily

: "This batch of cloth is so beautiful!"

In addition, what they received today is still less than three hundred taels. They plan to buy more brocades, and only a small part of the fine cotton cloth. The business in the store is booming. Some hesitation.

Seeing him hesitating, the second child, Xu Wencheng, said anxiously, "Brother Lu, but this batch of goods is not to your liking?"

Lu Jing hesitated and said: "That's not true. The business in the store is good. I want to buy more goods. It's just that it's just opened, and the cash flow is a bit tight.

" We have told us, we can trust Brother Lu, Brother Lu can pay part of it first, and it doesn't matter if the rest of the balance can be settled slowly."

Xu Wenhua is recuperating at home, and he is worried about his two younger brothers, but he also knows that they will always grow and cannot always under their own shelter.

It's just that I told them thousands of times before going out, wishing to put everything I could think of into their minds.

He also thought about the possible situation on Lu Jing's side. They are merchants who are most afraid of being owed money, especially their small businesses. Unlike big cloth merchants who have so much money in circulation, they are also powerful and not afraid of others' debts. , They generally will not agree to credit.

After thinking for a long time, he still decided to trust his own eyesight, and told the two of them: "If Brother Lu doesn't want the money, let him pay on credit.

" After buying the goods, he went straight to Zhexi Town, asked the shopkeeper of Yuntang Restaurant, and touched him directly.

The current situation is as expected by the elder brother, Xu Wencheng did as the elder brother told him, besides, he is not stupid, he saw Lu Jing's shop, and those exquisite ready-made clothes are the goods he supplied to so many shops. Having seen it, he felt that what the elder brother said was right, Brother Lu would definitely make a name for himself. Lu Jing's expression was a little moved, but he didn't expect that the brothers of the Xu family were willing to let him pay on credit. He solemnly cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, you two, Lu will make up the balance as soon as

possible, and will never delay your business."

He also let go, he picked some by himself, let Nan Qi pick some, Nan Qi was full of love when he saw these fabrics, but he didn't expect Lu Jing to let him pick, he didn't shirk, he followed his parents to do so I have been in business for a long time, and I am very confident in my vision.

In the end, after the two finished picking, they even cleared more than half of the goods brought by the Xu family brothers. Before the three brothers were together, they had never done such a big business. The two brothers were very happy. It can be sold out if you travel less, and you can go home earlier.

Not only that, Lu Jing said that after signing a long-term supply agreement with them, they will give priority to their cloth in the future.

The two brothers didn't know how to make plans at first, and they would leave it to their elder brother Xu Wenhua when they encountered such a thing, but they had to go out to do business alone, but they couldn't do it.

Xu Wenhua began to teach them on the way home, day and night, and finally let them go out after teaching the second child, Xu Wencheng, but he just learned it, and his calculation speed was slow, so Lu Jing gave him the abacus Let him count slowly, he and Nan Qi have already made up the list and calculated it clearly, so they go to the front to do the work first, and let them call him after the calculation is done.

At this time, it was almost You Shi, and the shop was about to close. There were no customers in the shop, and brother Yun was doing today's accounts.

A plainly dressed husband walked into the shop at this time, Brother Yun raised his head according to the sound, and did not treat him differently because of his clothes, and greeted him with a smile: "Welcome, guests can take a look, If you need me, just call me."

He smiled obediently and gently, which immediately made people feel good about him, and Fu Lang's expression was a little reserved, so he couldn't help but smile at this time, "I'm here to apply for an embroidery job, don't you?" Do you know that you are still recruiting?"

Brother Yun's face showed some surprises, he thought that no one would come today, but the second person who came was a little brother, he nodded and smiled: "Recruited, Wait for me to call someone."

Lu Jing and Brother Qi were both picking cloth in the backyard, and he could hear him yelling at the back door of the shop, and just as he was about to go there, he saw Lu Jing turning out from the back door, and he said to Lu Jing He smiled and said, "You came just in time, where's Brother Qi? Someone here is applying for an embroidery job, let him take a look."

Lu Jing nodded and turned to call Brother Qi. Brother Qi was called out as soon as he sat down. He was still holding the scissors in his hand, and his face was a little excited, but someone had come. Now the order has been queued for a month, and the subsequent customers can only postpone it. would lose business.

He looked at the person, it was a young husband, in his twenties and thirties, he was not good-looking, but he looked very comfortable, and he was gentle and gentle when he spoke, so he had a good impression of him from the beginning .

Fu Lang introduced that his surname was Shen, and his family name was Zhao. The family lived in Zhehua Lane in the town. He took out the clothes and embroidery he made and handed them to Nan Qi, and introduced, "My father used to be The best embroiderer in cloth village in our county town, I learned my embroidery skills from my dad. After I got married, I came to Zhexi town with my husband. I also went to Wanning cloth village at the beginning, but I was always squeezed out. My husband took pity on me, so he didn't let me go, and then I only did some casual work, and I saw the recruitment notice today, so I decided to come and give it a try." Lu Jing

and Brother Yun heard that he was arrested in Wanning cloth village . People squeezed each other, and they looked at each other with subtle expressions.

At this time, Brother Qi had already checked Mrs. Shen's embroidery and raised his head. His face was full of joy, and he handed the clothes and embroidery in his hand to Lu Jing. I was so happy: "I think it's very good, boss, take a look."

Lu Jing said: "You can make a decision." She still took it honestly in her hand, everyone is curious, he and Brother Yun They all want to see the embroidery skills "disliked" by Wanning Cloth.

Lu Jing took a closer look and couldn't help laughing. What kind of Fengshui treasure is Wanning Buzhuang, and it has been able to attract such excellent embroidery workers. It's ridiculous that after they recruited them, they all drove them out, and finally let him Picked up the leak.

He nodded to Shen Fulang and said: "We have decided to hire you. Your embroidery skills are good. I will give you three taels of silver a month. If the shop earns a good profit, you will also be given a raise. So you must be careful with every piece of clothing or embroidery you have. We are responsible for the quality of the products, and the quality of the garments is the reputation of the shop."

Shen Fulang nodded excitedly. He didn't expect it to be possible. It was higher than his previous wages in Wanning Buzhuang, and much higher than his own job. He suppressed his excitement and nodded, Assured: "My boss, don't worry, I will do my best."

Now that he has decided to hire him, Lu Jing introduced him with a smile: "My surname is Lu, you can call me Boss Lu, this is my husband, you can call me Boss Lu." Brother Yun, the two of us can make decisions about everything in the shop, and whoever says it counts."

He then pointed to Nan Qi, "This is Nan Qi, he is in charge of the embroiderers and workers in the shop. , he is young, but his craftsmanship is excellent, you will know later. Although you are older than him, you still have to obey his management, if you can't do it, you may have to ask you to find another job." Mrs.

Shen Lang quickly assured: "Our industry speaks with craftsmanship, and I understand the rules." He turned to the ready-made clothes hanging in the shop, "I can see that his craftsmanship is better than mine by looking at these, and I am convinced." Several people saw

him He spoke openly, and his impression of him was a bit better. Now that a consensus had been reached, he quickly signed the contract, saying that he would come to work on time tomorrow, and Fulang Shen went home with a smile.

At this time, it was closing time, Nan Qi went to the back, Lu Jing went to close the store, Yun brother tidied up the account books, after Lu Jing closed the door, he came over to count the money with Yun brother, after the counting, Lu Jing hugged Qian Xiazi and Brother Yun went to the backyard together.

Xu Wencheng tossed and tossed for a long time. He was afraid that he would make a mistake in the calculation, so he calculated it several times. He didn't feel relieved until the calculated result was the same three times in a row.

Seeing Lu Jing approaching, he hurried forward and told him the result of his calculation. Lu Jing smiled and said, "It's the same as mine, a total of seven hundred and twenty-eight taels." They selected a total of 160

horses Fifty bolts of fine cotton brocade, brocades of all grades, and fine cotton were carefully selected by the two of them, enough for the shop to use for a period of time.

Lu Jing and Brother Yun just finished counting. Today's income in the shop plus the twenty or so taels of silver left over from yesterday is a total of two hundred and eighty taels. Lu Jing kept some turnover and gave two hundred and twenty first. Eight taels, and the remaining five hundred taels, he issued an IOU, and asked the two brothers to go back to pick up after selling the cloth.

After everything has been traded, it's getting late. The Xu family brothers will leave tomorrow and will have a rest in the town for the night. Lu Jing and Brother Yun are going back to the village too. Both parties bid farewell and make an appointment to see each other next time.

On the other side, Zhang Lingshu returned home. He waited for his mother to come back from visiting friends, so he went straight to his mother's room, and said coquettishly: "Mother, I have a crush on a man, and I want to marry him."
