Li Ge actually didn't want to meet a man with a family.
He came here just to return the favor and inquire about the family's situation.
After greeting him for a while, he stood up and left.
"Madam, Butler Lin just said that his master opened an antique shop in Dongshi.
Isn't he a rich man?
No wonder the furnishings in their house look very expensive."
Xiaohua muttered in a low voice as she walked away.
Li Ge laughed.
Xiaohua didn't see the things in Shang Liu's room.
If she really knew the origin and value of those things, she would be even more surprised.
Back at the house, Feng'er had been sent to a neighbor's private school by Zhong Yuan, while Xiang'er was playing with some flowers and plants in his yard.
Seeing that the weather was good, Li Ge asked Xiaohua to prepare tea supplies in the pavilion in the lotus pond, and took out the account books of all Shangliu's shops.
Shang Liu's has a total of twelve drug stores, most of which are located in less busy areas of the West Market.
Calculated, the overall operating situation is very average, and they can probably only maintain the operation of the drug store and the family's expenses.
No wonder there are only four servants in such a big house as Shang Mansion: Zhong Ma’s family and Xiao Hua.
Shang Liu's account books should be somewhat unable to make ends meet.
Maybe he would pawn the priceless antiques in the house from time to time and maintain the family's expenses.
Li Ge frowned and looked carefully at the accounts of the twelve drug stores, always feeling that something was wrong.
She sighed.
Since she was living as a family member, she had to help Shang Liu clean up the mess in her hands.
So she called Mother Zhong and asked: "When do I usually meet with the shopkeepers of these drug stores?"
Mother Zhong thought for a while: "When the master was still alive, he would invite the shopkeepers to drink at Hu Ji Restaurant in the West Market at the end of every month.
But after the master passed away, madam, you have reduced the meeting time to once a quarter.
If you don’t go to any wine shop, let Lao Zhong give them a little silver on your behalf, which will be regarded as drinking expenses.”
No wonder the numbers on the books of this business are getting smaller and smaller.
The boss himself is too lazy to meet with the shopkeeper.
Naturally, there will be more and more cases of lining his own pockets.
Li Ge frowned and thought for a while: "I don't want to invite them to any wine shop now.
You ask Lao Zhong to inform them that they will all come to the house in three days.
I want to see them."
Mother Zhong looked at her slightly surprised, nodded and said, "I'll ask Lao Zhong to inform them right away."
Now it seems that the antiques in Shang Liu's house should have been left by her deceased husband.
Being able to go to a place like Orchid’s where people spend a lot of money to drink is definitely not an ordinary person.
It's just that women like Zhong Ma and Shang Liu are living in the boudoir, and they don't know how high the consumption is in a place like Orchid Winery where young and beautiful Orchid serves people.
Li Ge has no intention of restoring the rules that existed when the businessman was still alive, but he can't close his eyes and let the shopkeepers take over the magpie's nest.
When Xiang'er heard that Li Ge was making tea and drinking tea in the pavilion, she also ran over and sat quietly next to Li Ge drinking tea, looking like a lady.
Li Ge looked at her slightly precocious look and couldn't help but ask: "Xianger, you also know that my mother has been hit hard this time.
She basically can't remember the past.
Can you tell me about your father's life?"
What’s the situation at that time?”
As soon as the word "father" was mentioned, Xiang'er's expression immediately became silent.
Your Majesty, you lost a demon queen :
