Seeing that the guy still didn't change his words, Zhao Shinan sneered: "Whether it's Oriental brocade or not, you'll know if you try it." As he spoke, he patted a silver ticket on the table, "Yangzhou brocade, silk is fine and tough, if it is burned, there will be a smell of feathers, and it can be smelled a hundred steps away." But Oriental satin—you're from Mitsui?"

The guy was a little angry, but he still nodded: "Yes, authentic Mitsui's goods." ”

"Toyo is located in a humid area, especially the silk of the Mitsui company, which is cultivated in the southern area, and the silk is soft and sticky, and if the brocade is burned, it smells of grass. Where is this satin, don't you know when you burn it?" Zhao Shinan squinted at the man.

The onlookers also discussed, "Since it's so easy to identify, why don't you just burn it." "Oriental satin is expensive, and it hurts to burn it. "If it's fake, how much money will it cost." ”

An older guy asked, "How much do you want to burn?"

Zhao Shinan raised his eyes and said coldly: "It doesn't matter if you burn less, burn this one, and the taste will come out." My silver ticket can be exchanged for a hundred taels of silver, and if it is grassy, I will give you this ticket. One hundred taels is authentic Mitsui Oriental satin, which is enough to buy ten horses. If it's a feather smell, take off this "Oriental satin" signboard at your door!"

The onlookers have already discussed a lot, silk brocade has been a precious fabric worn by rich people since ancient times, who has more money to eat and have nothing to burn and play? Now there is this opportunity to look at the burning satin, and they are all very excited: "Burn it", "Burn one", "Burn it to know the truth or falsehood." ”

The man looked at the fuss, and a clever point went behind the curtain, and after a while, a man in his forties with shrewd eyebrows walked out, who seemed to be the shopkeeper, and arched his hands to everyone: "Do business and make money, and make money." ”

A guy whispered a few words to this person, who looked at the controversial satin, and said to everyone with a smile: "Recently, there are a lot of satin in the warehouse, and a few Yangzhou satins have also been brought by a friend, and they may have been confused." Then he instructed the man, "Get this lady a fine Oriental brocade at a good price." ”

He bowed his hand to Zhao Shinan and said, "This gentleman, can you talk about it in the backyard?"

"No need. Zhao Shinan raised his hand, and his voice was not angry, "Since you are mistaken, I don't understand who your guy wants to be unpolite to?"

The shopkeeper swept his face to the guy, and the guy who had just been arrogant hurriedly said: "This gentleman and lady, I have no eyes, don't worry about the two of you." ”

Zhao Shinan looked at the shopkeeper, and his voice was a little helpless and joking: "Oriental satin is all some crude things, but they are just picking up my teeth, and it is ridiculous to put a foreign label on it, and you can sell it at a high price." It's even more ridiculous that people like you are holding pearls and jade. You'll be able to do it for yourself in the future. ”

As he spoke, he took Du Heng's hand and said in a deep voice, "Let's go." ”

"Wait a minute. The middle-aged man's eyes flashed, "I don't know where Mr. is from, and he is also an expert in listening to the tone, if he has the opportunity, I would like to go to Mr. to see the real pearl." ”

This is polite, but it smacks of provocation. As soon as Zhao Shinan turned his head, his eyes were cold and sharp, his lips hooked, and his voice was like an unsheathed ancient sword: "Yangzhou City Zhao Shinan, I'm waiting for you!"

Du Heng followed Zhao Shinan and strode out of the silk village, and when he went out, Du Heng felt a little afraid, and only then did he feel that he was on someone's territory, if Zhao Shinan hadn't arrived in time, he really didn't know how to end.

She peeked at Zhao Shinan, her face was blue and her lips were pursed and she frowned, could it be that she was angry with her? Du Heng whispered: "I just came out for a walk, I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing." Zhao Shinan didn't seem to hear it.

She had no choice but to say, "Actually, I want to finish and leave." Zhao Shinan still didn't speak.

Du Heng had no choice but to continue to find a topic: "Are you sure that the Oriental jokes are grassy when they are burned? My family also makes silk, why don't I know?" This time Zhao Shinan snorted: "Not sure." ”

"I'm not sure you dare to bet?" Du Heng was stunned and stopped his steps, "One hundred taels of silver." You're not sure?"

Since it is a gamble, it is a bold spirit, Zhao Shinan just heard that the Oriental jokes are burned out of the taste, and he is not exact. But the matter is urgent, it is an empty city plan, and it is also put on the steady, who let this fairy sister make such a big trouble? What he fought was that the silk village was not willing to take a satin to take risks.

Du Heng suddenly admired Zhao Shinan's courage, it was a kind of temperament she had never seen, the elder brother in the family was a cautious and steady person, Ling Quan was a gentle and delicate person, and Zhao Shinan, he was sometimes as cold as frost, sometimes as fast as lightning, and the kind of arrogant momentum on his body was very new to her. Especially Ling Wei who was at a moment ago, she almost looked up at him.

Zhao Shinan still ignored her, and Du Heng had no choice but to mutter: "I won't mess around in the future." Guaranteed, the next is not an example. ”

Zhao Shinan sighed, stopped his steps and looked at Du Heng intently: "Heng'er, I'm not angry with you. I just feel that the country is unfortunate. "Why does the big silk country in the central government have to respect the inferior products of small countries? Is it the flattery of the Chinese people, or the lack of diplomacy of weak countries, which has caused China's silk to become more and more unranked? As it became more and more difficult to export silk, Zhao Shinan thought about this problem more than once. The incident in front of him made him even more depressed.

Du Heng knew that Zhao Shinan was not angry with her, his nervous mood relaxed, looking at the novel scenery on the road, and couldn't help but ask long and short questions. Seeing the delicious and fun, he jumped forward to choose, and Zhao Shinan paid for it.

After the matter was done, he returned to the hall to pack his things, Zhao Shinan took Du Heng back in the car, Du Heng still had a lot of words along the way, Zhao Shinan only realized at this moment that Du Heng removed the hard shell, and it turned out that he had the potential to chatter. It's just this small feature, it can also make Zhao Shinan's heart melt, no matter what she asks, she can't help but answer, Zhao Shinan secretly thought, if it goes on like this, shouldn't he also become a chatter? I couldn't help but raise my lips and smile softly.

When I returned to my home in Yangzhou and went to ask Mrs. Zhao for peace, the old lady was not as angry as she imagined, but asked Zhao Shinan lightly: "Is Nanjing's business done?"

Zhao Shinan replied: "It's done." ”

Du Heng learned a little smarter this time, and specially wrapped a copy of the things he bought and respectfully handed it to Mrs. Zhao: "I bought some osmanthus cake in Nanjing, it's good, you can taste it fresh." ”

Old Lady Zhao motioned to Aunt Ci to take it expressionlessly, raised her hand and said, "You are also tired today, go back and rest first." If you have something to say, say it slowly. ”

Zhao Shinan and Du Heng retreated, Zhao Shinan didn't say anything, Du Heng let out a long breath: "I didn't expect it to be so smooth." She thought it would be a good lesson when she came back this time.

Zhao Shinan felt a little uneasy in his heart, he understood his mother's strong character, and it was strange to be so calm, and he couldn't help but tell Du Heng: "Be careful in the future, try to be obedient, respond in advance, and wait for me to come back." ”

Du Heng nodded, this feeling is weird, why did Zhao Shinan become the person she trusted and relied on so much?

The lights in the house were dim, and Mrs. Zhao coldly instructed her aunt: "Throw away that osmanthus cake." ”

Aunt Ci looked at the strange pity and said, "It smells good." ”

"Throw it away!" Mrs. Zhao's hand patted the back of the chair hard, her body trembled slightly, Du Heng asked her to taste fresh, yes, she has been confined to this big courtyard all her life, and she has neither a good husband to take her out, nor a good son to take her to see the world. How do you know what freshness is?

This woman is like a goblin, the bewitching Shi Nan can do anything, and she can bring a woman to talk about such an important thing as business? This is simply an unbelievable thing in the eyes of the old lady. What's even worse is that Shi Nan learned to cut first and then play for her, and he didn't greet her, so he secretly ran out and guarded her mother like a thief. Mrs. Zhao has never been so sad.

What is the purpose of raising a son? In order to fight for Shi Nan's family business, how much effort did she use to get rid of that fox spirit and her son? She worked hard for decades, and gave her son without complaint or regret, but as soon as she got married, she was hooked away by another woman's fox eyes, and her son became like an outsider overnight, and even antagonist, she couldn't accept it at all.

Angry? Mrs. Zhao has already left her anger and anger. Du Heng, if you don't break the restless string in this woman's bones, the Zhao family will not live in peace in the future.

The next day, Du Heng still came to greet and serve Mrs. Zhao as usual. Du Heng was dressed in a light yellow gauze dress, but it was also plain. However, once people don't look at people, then no matter what she wears, what she says, or what she does, it is wrong.

Old Mrs. Zhao glanced at Du Heng and snorted, "Dressed so plainly, do you wish there was something unlucky in this house?"

Du Heng was stunned for a moment, it was unlucky to wear this clothes, but he didn't dare to refute: "I'll change it tomorrow." ”

After a while, Mrs. Zhao asked Du Heng to bring a glass of water, but she felt too hot and unhappy in her heart. After such a long time, Du Heng's whole body was as uncomfortable as a pinprick, although he was tired from serving before, he was still satisfied after serving the old lady. No matter what she did today, Mrs. Zhao frowned and scolded, doing something wrong.

Mrs. Zhao was also angry, today's Du Heng is clumsy and a waste. I wonder if I deliberately made this stupid look so lazy? Thinking of this, she was even more indignant.

After lunch, Mrs. Zhao sat on the Taishi chair drinking tea, and instructed Du Heng to beat her legs. Du Heng squatted down and kneaded his knees and legs little by little. Suddenly, the old lady's knee throbbed, and it happened that Du Heng pinched it, and it hurt even more, and the old lady Zhao finally broke out, kicked Du Heng to the ground, and scolded: "What kind of heart do you have?"
