第259章 贵客迎门(一更)
叶初棠出了定北侯府,却没有立刻回家,而是带着小五转道去了茶庄。

马车刚在门前停下,立刻便有眼尖的小厮上前殷切相迎。

“这位客……二小姐!?”

小厮连忙见礼,心下也是吃惊至极。

整个京城都知道叶初棠前几日被韩尧挟持受了不小的惊吓,最近一直闭门养伤,谁成想居然就这么来了!

叶初棠一边往里走,一边道:“我只是路过,顺便过来瞧瞧,你们都忙你们的去吧。”

小厮弯着腰应了,却哪里敢真的离开。

——上次叶初棠过来,可是直接把掌柜的都给赶出去了!
这茶庄如今是名正言顺属于她的,尤其现在她的身后还有定北侯府与长公主府两座靠山,下面这些人自然唯命是从,不敢再起其他心思。

另则……这会儿店里也确实是没什么要忙的。

叶初棠随意扫了几眼,这茶庄的生意比起之前,似乎更凋零了些。

也是,上一个掌柜的愤而请辞之后,这边一直没个顶上的,叶初棠虽然让阿言贴了昭示出去,但要寻个合适的掌柜,也非一时半刻便能解决的。

所以如今这店里除了几个小厮,已是再无他人踏入。

小五一手托腮,小小的眉头皱了起来。

——发愁啊!这茶庄一日没有进项,她们就是大大的亏啊!
叶初棠并未遮掩自己的行踪,故而不一会儿的功夫,她来了茶庄的消息就传开了,门外的街道之上,三不五时就有人“路过”,步伐放得极慢,眼睛斜着往这边飞。

——现如今,整个京城谁不知道叶二姑娘的大名?大家都当她短时间内不会再出来了,谁知她竟又出现在了自家茶庄!

好奇者有之,看笑话者也有之。

这茶庄开在这,成日做的是亏本买卖,稍一打听便不难知晓,过去三年不过仗着后面有叶恒撑腰,靠着时不时主动上门的“生意”,才勉强支撑。

如今这庄子又落回叶初棠手里,虽是物归原主,名正言顺,却也算是彻底没了希望。

更不要提叶初棠先前还把掌柜的给赶走了,现如今连个负责接管的人都没有,更是为难。

“说来这叶二姑娘也是倒霉,这本就是她爹娘的东西,要回来也是理所应当,可毕竟是个姑娘家,哪里能操心的了这生意之事?”

“我看啊,这茶庄倒不如不开了!把这门店沽出去,倒还能换点银钱来!”

“话是这么说,但到底算是她爹娘留下的东西,只怕她会不舍啊……”

“不舍又能如何?她一个女子,要养活几个弟妹,哪里不花银子?”

话虽难听,却是实话。

叶铮虽年少中举,一路官运亨通,但为人秉性清正刚直,两袖清风,的确称不上富庶。

尤其三年前叶恒接手,几乎算是洗劫一空,如今还能剩下几分?

说的直白点,叶初棠她们连坐吃山空都没资格。

叶初棠却对外面那些一轮充耳不闻,只侧头吩咐道:

“去将我马车上带来的那一罐茶叶和那一套茶具拿来,另外,楼上打扫出一个包厢来,半个时辰后,有贵客迎门。”

侯爷的掌心娇是朵黑心莲
Author:

Heir of a traditional medical family, Ye Chutang rolled through life for a lifetime, only to unexpectedly die just as she was about to inherit. Reborn, she only wanted to be a slacker and live a carefree life. Unexpectedly, at the beginning, she suffered a critical blow: her parents and eldest brother were assassinated, leaving her with three younger siblings. The third brother was seriously injured, the fourth brother was in a coma, and there was also a baby crying for milk. She weighed the cold steamed bun in her hand, looked despairingly at the sky, and thought that managing three at once was worse than starting over. The little baby tugged at her pant leg. "Hungry." Ye Chutang: "..." Get up and work! ...Ye Chutang’s plan was perfect; once she raised the children, she could retire and enjoy her later years. Yet, a man had different intentions. "Miss Ye, after all these years, shouldn't there be an explanation?" Ye Chutang: "6." You used to linger at my doorstep and now it’s my fault? ... The Ye family was impressive: Ye Sanlang was the top scholar of the current dynasty, Ye Si-lang had made great military achievements in the northwest, and Ye Wu girl had a commercial empire rivaling the rich and powerful. Only Ye Er-girl was busy raising her younger siblings, unknowingly aging and facing difficulties in marriage. Until one day, the powerful Duke of Dingbei, Shen Yanchaun, arrived with a bridal procession ten miles long to welcome her. Ye Chutang remained silent for a long time. "This time, you take care of the kids."
