Chapter 288: Sending Silk Flowers
The wind of the rumor turned quickly, and it spread in the evening, and it spread throughout Luoyang City on the second day. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Although there are still people who don't believe it, when most people say it, the rest of them can only mumble in their hearts.
Fan Bin sat in the tea shop, hearing everyone's discussions, and a smile appeared on his face. This Shi Shizi did what he said, and he was really a character worthy of intersecting.
Xu Wenmin stopped outside the shop of "Splendid Record" in Nanshi, and when he heard these words, a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
He was already delicate and handsome, and the smile on his face at this time was as warm as the sun, which caused those big girls and little daughters-in-law who passed by to look at him one by one.
He entered the door, turned to the backyard of the store, and asked Shopkeeper Yu, "Shopkeeper Yu, how many silk flowers were brought from the silk flower workshop yesterday?"
Since Xu Changzong's father and son were released from Dali Temple, Shopkeeper Yu has been happy all day long. For him, there is nothing happier than seeing the father and son of the owner safe and sound.
The silk flower workshop was established by the eldest lady, and the silk flowers produced are exquisite and realistic. He is also a businessman who knows how to "scarce things are expensive". Although there are many silk flowers produced in the workshop, only 30 are carefully selected for sale in the store every day, while stocks last. More often through the Hejia trade route, scattered to all parts of Gaomang.
As soon as it was listed, it was sought after by the ladies in Beijing. How can there be only 30 flowers a day? You must know that there are more than 30 silk flowers of all colors in the makeup of just one lady.
Therefore, tomorrow morning there will be a phenomenon in the South Market, and before the "Splendid Record" has opened, there will be a small housewife of the big family waiting at the door. As soon as the hour came, they swarmed in and grabbed the counter where the silk flowers were placed.
Those who grabbed it smiled, and those who didn't grab it were very frustrated, so they had to come back tomorrow.
At this time, when he heard the young owner ask, the shopkeeper Yu replied: "All the things that are put out today have been sold out." There are more than 20 flowers in the warehouse, which are ready for regular customers to come to the door. ”
For those regular customers who still buy clothes here in the most difficult time of "Splendid Record", there will naturally be different treatment at this time.
Xu Wenmin nodded and said, "Take ten flowers out for me and wrap them, I'll be useful here." ”
Regarding the instructions of the young owner, the shopkeeper Yu naturally will not question it. After a while, he brought up two brocade boxes, each containing five silk flowers.
Knowing that the shopkeeper Yu was doing things safely, Xu Wenmin still opened the box and checked them one by one to make sure that each silk flower had no flaws, and then closed the lid satisfactorily.
I personally went to the warehouse and selected half a foot of moon blue bat-pattern grosgrain material, wrapped the two brocade boxes together, and then went out with them in my hands.
When I arrived at the side gate of the Anguo Mansion, the cow I saw last time was guarding the door.
Seeing him coming, he smiled and said a thousand words: "The eldest young master of the Xu family is here, but you are here to find the prince of my family? ”
The whole Anguo Mansion was told that the eldest lady of the Xu family was the righteous daughter that the lady had recognized for a long time. At that time, the stepmother was not like modern times, just screaming. The righteous son and the righteous daughter are all genealogical members of the ancestral hall, and their behavior is also related to the face of the father-in-law or mother-in-law.
This is an extremely close relationship in addition to blood relations. This righteous son and righteous daughter are not casually recognized, and because of this, they can block the mouth of Youyou.
This eldest young master of the Xu family is the biological brother of his wife's daughter, how can he not treat him politely?
Xu Wenmin smiled slightly, and arched his hand: "I won't go in." This gift is a little bit of the sister's heart to her stepmother, please smile at the stepmother. ”
……
In the main courtyard of the Duchess of Anguo, the mother-in-law is tending to the flowers and plants, and the maids under the corridor are divided into each other, and each has its own affairs.
The little girl opened the curtain, Qinglu came in with a moon blue box in her hand, and said with a smile: "Madam, this is a gift from the eldest young master of the Xu family, saying that it is a little bit of the sister's heart for her stepmother." ”
"Oh?" Zhuang was slightly surprised, and put down the teacup in her hand, she didn't expect the Xu family to give a gift.
glanced at the extremely delicate gift box, grosgrain is luxurious, and the Xu family also has a heart to wrap it with such materials.
Qinglu placed the box on the table and opened the grosgrain, which was filled with two stacked brocade boxes. picked up one of them and opened it, and said with a smile: "Madam, this is the silk tweed of the Xu family's 'Splendid Record'." ”
As he spoke, he presented the box, and on the dark flannel cloth in the box, there were five silk flowers of different shapes lying quietly, each with its own beauty. Zhuang picked up a dark green peony silk flower, and smelled a burst of peony flowers at the end of his nose.
She praised: "The silk flowers of 'Splendid Notes' are really unusual, no wonder they are crazy to buy them." The Xu family has a heart!"
Qinglu smiled: "Madame is different, naturally someone will send it to the door." ”
Zhuang's Yile, this nominal daughter, seems to be valuable, and the Xu family is well-informed and interesting.
Qinglu opened another box, and sure enough, it was still five silk flowers.
"I'll keep this one," Zhuang took the dark green peony in his hand and gestured on his head: "You take the rest and divide it in each room." One for each lady and one for each lady. ”
Qinglu answered, holding the box and retreating.
……
At the side door of the Prince's Mansion, Mrs. Gan was waiting anxiously, she had come to ask to see Master Du.
A little guy came from inside and said, "Aunt Gan, please come with me." ”
took her into the flower hall, and when she saw Master Du, Mrs. Gan said anxiously: "Master, what can I do about this?" Now they are all saying that Miss Xu is the righteous daughter of Duchess Anguo. ”
Master Du had a dark face and said, "You ask me, it's a shame that you can be beaten out by mentioning a kiss!"
Now there is another rumor in the market: "No wonder the matchmaker will be beaten out when she comes to propose marriage, where is there anyone who helps the righteous brother to propose marriage to the righteous sister? ”
In the past, the official media she looked down on were even more publicized everywhere with a three-inch tongue, and for a while, the reputation of Gan Matchmaker fell and underestimated.
Mrs. Gan said: "It's because the old man is not doing things well, and he asked the master to come up with ideas, is there a way to do this now?"
Master Du said: "The matter has come to this, and only a dead horse can be used as a live horse doctor." You go to Nanshi, find a few more helpers, and say that this matter is unfounded, how could Miss Xu suddenly become the righteous daughter of the Anguo Mansion? The two families have never had any contact, and they think that they are just doing it as a last resort to cover up the ugly things. And he took some loose pieces of silver and gave her some loose pieces of silver, and told her to hire men.
When Mrs. Gan heard this, she said goodbye to Master Du and hurriedly went.
When she arrived in Nanshi, she didn't dare to make a big deal this time, and quietly looked for a few helpers who were familiar with her on weekdays to explain the matter.
These helpers only got her share of the bride price before they could, and they had to do what she told them.
