Poor Family

The layout of the new store has come to the finishing touches, Shi Fuxin stood in the middle hall on the second floor, looking expressionlessly at the clerks and maids who were busy on the first floor.

Originally, the goods for sale were supposed to be brought in and placed in the shop today, but in the morning when she heard that the shop was going to open on the same day as Dongfang Yunshang and Wei Yinghua, she asked Gan Fanren to suspend the matter.

Apart from her family, only the clerk in the store knew about Hong Yanxiao's opening of the store on June 6th, and she didn't even have time to tell her family.

Judging from Dongfang Yunshang's words this morning, she knew the day when she opened the shop.

How did she know?

Shi Fuxin's eyes flicked back and forth over the clerks and maids on the first floor. The family members would definitely not tell the story, so the people in the shop could only leak the news.

The Dongfang family installed eyeliner in her shop!

Maybe it's not just the Dongfang family, maybe the Wei family, the Liu family, and others may have staff in the store.

Shi Fuxin looked at the clerk and maid below one by one, feeling a little helpless in her heart.

She can pay these people to work, but she can't guarantee their loyalty.

The problem of not being able to use people became more and more prominent after opening the store, which also proved the importance of foundation from the side.

Like Dongfang Yunshang and Wei Yinghua, they will not face such problems.

Without him, the people they use are the sons of families who have served the Dongfang family and the Wei family for several generations.

Everything about the birth of a family is in the hands of the master, and unless the interests are so great that they can risk their lives, they will not betray easily.

"Three girls."

While Shi Fuxin was observing the clerk and maid, Shi Fuyin came over after school.

Shi Fuxin regained her senses and looked at her sister who was standing beside her: "Sister, why are you here?"

Shi Fuyin smiled and said, "Let me see how your preparations are going." After a pause, "Dongfang Yunshang and Wei Yinghua both opened on the sixth day of June. Do you want to change the opening date?"

Shi Fuxin was surprised: "Why should I change the time?"

Shi Fuyin: "The two stores must be open for competition. If you are caught between them, I'm afraid no one will pay attention to Hong Yanxiao's opening."

Shi Fuxin was silent for a moment: "That's not necessarily true. The Dongfang family and the Wei family are powerful, but when it comes to attracting people's attention, we still need to see the odds win."

Shi Fuyin looked at her sister: "What good idea have you thought of?"

Shi Fuxin smiled: "I won't tell you yet."

Shi Fuyin gave her an annoyed look with a smile: "Even I have to hide it from you." Having said this, she hesitated for a moment before saying, "Isn't it too much of a coincidence that Dongfang Yunshang, Wei Yinghua and you chose to open the store on the same day? ?”

Shi Fuxin crossed her arms and looked at the lobby on the first floor: "The guys and maids in the store are all hired temporarily, and their past and character are not completely clear for a while."

Shi Fuyin was silent: "Actually, it's okay to speak to the mansion. It's more reliable to use the Shi family to have a child than to hire outsiders."

Shi Fuxin replied: "There is no free lunch in the world. Once you use the resources of the Shi family, you have to pay back to the Shi family."

Shi Fuyin looked at her sister and shook her head: "You're not a person who is reluctant to repay others, and that's not the reason."

Shi Fuxin smiled: "Sister, I just want to do things on my own, and I don't want other people to get involved. For one thing, if there are more people involved, there will be more uncontrollable factors."

After finishing speaking, when Shi Fuyin looked at her and said nothing, Shi Fuxin wondered, "Why are you looking at me like that? Am I wrong?"

Shi Fuyin put her hand on her younger sister's shoulder: "Sister Xin, I just discovered a problem. You like fighting alone too much."

Shi Fuxin didn't think it was a problem, and said with a smile, "Is there anything wrong with solving everything by myself and controlling it by myself?"

Shi Fuyin couldn't answer: "I don't know, it sounds like there is nothing wrong with it, but I always feel that something is wrong."

Shi Fuxin smiled: "Sister, thousands of people have thousands of faces, this is my character."

Shi Fuyin said nothing, neither agreeing nor refuting.

Shi Fuxin took Shi Fuyin's arm: "Okay, I've seen enough here, let's go back."

After the sisters returned home twice, they went to Yixiang Courtyard and told Mrs. Shi about the opening of the shop on June 6th.

Mrs. Shi frowned: "It will open on the sixth day of June. Doesn't it coincide with the opening of the Dongfang's and Wei's girls?"

Shi Fuyin showed surprise: "Grandmother also knows about Dongfang Yunshang and Wei Yinghua's store opening on the sixth day of June?"

Mrs. Shi didn't speak, but Madam An stood up with a smile: "In the afternoon, Mrs. Yong Anbo from next door came to the mansion and talked about the opening of Miss Dongfang and Miss Wei's shops."

"Mrs. Yong'anbo also said that the Dongfang family and the Wei family are holding tea parties and poetry parties these days, and many people have been invited to attend."

After hearing this, Shi Fuyin looked at Shi Fuxin: "After a few tea parties and poetry meetings, everyone probably knows about the opening of Dongfang Yunshang and Wei Yinghua's store. They will definitely come to join us on June 6th."

Madam Shi also looked over.

Shi Fuxin noticed the gazes of the two, and said with a smile, "The more people Dongfang and Wei invite, the better."

On June 6th, as long as she draws the attention of those people to Hong Yanxiao, the publicity effect on the store will be good.

Looking at the granddaughter who can still smile confidently at this time, Mrs. Shi is also a little admired. Let alone the other things, no number of men can compare to this girl's unruffled disposition.

After hesitating for a while, Mrs. Shi still took the initiative to speak: "It must be very busy when opening the shop. If you are too busy, you can ask the mansion for help."

Before she could wait, Fuxin opened her mouth, and said, "We're all a family, you help me, I'll help you, that's the only way to get close, don't be shy."

Shi Fuxin: "."

Shi Fuyin looked at Mrs. Shi, then at Shi Fuxin, and wanted to say something, but finally swallowed it back.

Shi Fuxin still smiled and refused: "Grandmother, I have already arranged the affairs of the store, so I don't need to bother the mansion for now."

Mrs. Shi looked at Shi Fuxin, was silent for a while, then smiled and said: "You can make arrangements." Then, she rested with her head on her hands, closed her eyes.

Shi Fuxin and Shi Fuyin saw each other, looked at each other, and got up to leave.

When the two of them left, Mrs. Shi opened her eyes again, a little helpless: "Sister Xin, this girl is in the He family, she is the hardest-hearted!"

Nanny An served tea: "Miss Six is ​​still young, the old lady just needs to teach her well in the future."

Mrs. Shi took the tea and shook her head: "It's not easy to change a person's temperament, unless he stumbles." After taking a sip of the tea, "With Sister Xin's temperament, she would not choose to be with the Dongfang family, The Wei family opened their shop on the same day, so there must be something going on here."

Nanny An smiled and said, "The people hired by Miss Six are all temporary recruits, so I don't think their mouths are too strict."

Madam Shi put down the tea bowl: "I'd rather use an outsider who doesn't know clearly than speak to the mansion. I don't know whether to say yes or no to Liu girl's temperament."

"Forget it, let her go. It's just that on June 6th, her shop may become a foil for the two girls from the Dongfang family and the Wei family."

Time flies, and it is the sixth day of June.

This day was Shi Fuxin's and Shi Dinghao's thirteenth birthdays. Early in the morning, Jin Yue'e went to the kitchen and personally made longevity noodles for them.

After eating longevity noodles, Shi Fuxin, Shi Fuyin and Shi Dinghao went to the store on Chang'an Street.

Jin Yue'e didn't follow, but went to Yixiangyuan.

When her daughter opened the store, Mrs. Shi had told the people in the house early on that she would bring everyone to join in the show. As a daughter-in-law, she had to stay by her mother-in-law's side.

Half an hour later, a dozen or so carriages from the Shi family set off for Chang'an Avenue.

In the carriage, Shi Fulin yawned and said, "Sixth Sister opened a store, and our whole family has to go to support her. Her face is really great."

Shi Fu looked over and said, "Instead of saying sour words here, why not think about it, when can I let the whole family go out for you once."

Shi Fulin was upset: "Sister Fifth, why do you always help Sixth Sister?"

Shi Fubin said indifferently: "I don't favor anyone, the sixth younger sister is better than us, we have to admit it."

Shi Fulin snorted: "Sixth sister is amazing, but what does she have to do with us? This time she opened a store, and my grandmother and mother wanted to help, but she refused, for fear that she would have the slightest relationship with us. I thought she was so amazing."

Shi Fu did not refute this, but looked at the passers-by outside the car window, thinking about what her mother had said to her.

"Sister Xin has a strong temper and likes to rely on herself in everything. Except for your fourth uncle's family, no one else in the house can get into her heart at all. Naturally, she doesn't want to have too much involvement with the house."

"Mother, isn't it good to rely on yourself in everything?"

"Silly girl, no matter how capable a person is, he can't cover everything. There will always be times when energy is low, and there will always be some potholes and ravines that you can't get through."

"People who rely on themselves in everything are very strong, but if they can learn to cooperate with others and make use of their strengths and avoid weaknesses, they will become even stronger."

"Sister Ji, you have to remember that as women, we can't rely on others for everything, but we can't rely on others for everything. If we do everything by ourselves, it will be very tiring and painful."

"But mother, relying on others, you can't decide many things by yourself."

"I'm talking nonsense again. In this life, how can a person go completely according to his wishes? Even the emperor can't do things completely according to his own ideas, let alone others."

"Keep a good sense of how to behave in the world, important things, make up your own mind, and unimportant things, make appropriate compromises, so what?"
