Tang Dongfeng stroked his chin and nodded. “I roughly understand. Madam is saying that the apprentices in charge of selling our goods must understand our own goods before selling them. This should be part of our business skills.”
“Yes, no matter what talent you have, you don’t have to be particularly good at doing business. The real big business is handled by you, the shopkeeper. They only need to understand the goods and can’t be blind.”
“Therefore, before I open the shop, I need you to help me choose a suitable person, someone who is gentle but meticulous. Leave the teaching to me for the time being. You can come and listen when the time comes,” Ye Muyu ordered.
“Yes, Madam.” Tang Dongfeng quickly nodded. “I understand. The candidate will be chosen in three days.”
“Alright.”
“If you are not free to handle the mirrors, ask Butler Luo to find someone to take care of it.”
“Madam, this little one will definitely handle this small matter properly.” Tang Dongfeng was not stupid. In the past, he had done much more work in other shops than this. Naturally, he would not push such a small task to others. He had to do something to show off in front of Madam.
“Alright, just do as you see fit.”
“You can choose the person first. After you’ve chosen them, come to the village together tomorrow,” Ye Muyu instructed.
She told him to do his own thing while she looked around the shop and found some small problems. She then asked the people below to remember to correct them.
It was almost 12:45 P.M.
Ye Muyu did not stay any longer and left the shop.
She went to the clothing store first, but she did not see anyone.
She went in and asked the shopkeeper again. She learned that Du Heng and the others had left for two hours. They had taken the ready-made clothes and picked some more before leaving without staying.
Ye Muyu came out of the clothing shop and thought of the Du family.
She patted her head and went to the bookstore first. As expected, Chu Heng was not back yet. She left a note. “If the Master comes back, tell him that I went to visit the Du family.”
“Yes, Madam.”
Ye Muyu asked Zhang Shu to go to the Du family’s house together. On the way, she did not forget to buy some gifts.
When they arrived at the Du residence, Zhang Shu knocked on the door. After a while, the gatekeeper opened the door. He quickly identified himself and asked if Ziluo and Lil’ Jin were there.
When the gatekeeper heard this, he opened the door. “Our Madam and Young Master have already instructed this servant to let Mrs. Chu in when she’s here.”
Zhang Shu nodded and went back to the door to explain the situation to Ye Muyu.
Very soon, the gatekeeper welcomed Ye Muyu and Zhang Shu.
They arrived at the inner courtyards.
The gatekeeper hurriedly called a servant girl to report to Mrs. Du.
After a while, the butler of the Du family came. The last time the Chu family held a banquet, he came to the village with the Du family’s Master and Madam. Ye Muyu knew him.
Butler Du came up and quickly ordered the servants to take the gifts. “Mrs. Chu, I’m sorry. I was busy inviting the doctor just now. I’ve neglected you. I hope Madam won’t be angry.”
“Butler Du, it’s okay. Go ahead and do your work. I’m sorry for disturbing you.” Ye Muyu smiled gently and did not ask why he wanted to get a doctor. After all, this involved the private affairs of the Master.
Coincidentally, the servant girl beside Mrs. Du came out from the inner courtyard. Butler Du hurriedly instructed her to entertain Ye Muyu before he left in a hurry.
“Mrs. Chu, please. Our Madam is already waiting in the courtyard.” Mrs. Du’s personal maid, Liu Lu, walked out and bowed respectfully to her before walking to the front and leading the way.
Although it was said to be a courtyard, they had actually walked through two more courtyards before arriving at a small courtyard.
