Chapter 241: The Cunning Shopkeeper
Han shook his head slightly, and said to Gu Juan: "Madame will always be the most amazing in my heart. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
It's late autumn.
Listening to the news that Zhang's mother inquired about outside, the young master of the Yang family and the son of the Liu family fought on this flower street, and the young master of the Yang family even broke the son of the Liu family.
Although this son of the Liu family is a man, but in this ancient imperial examination, as long as the face is slightly improper, it will affect the results, so the matter of breaking the appearance is still very serious for a scholar, I heard that this Liu Shangshu also went to the Yang family to ask for an explanation.
Fortunately, this is an idle position in the capital, if it is really the book of the Jingshi, I am afraid that something would have happened to the Yang family a long time ago.
At first, Gu Juan didn't take this matter to heart, how could a Shangshu in this capital do anything, at most, he went to the Yang family to ask for money.
After all, this Yang family is the richest man in the southeast, and he is the scholar among the Beijing teachers, but he also has to give a few thin faces, not to mention that you are an idle scholar.
It's just that everyone didn't expect such a thing, this Liu Shangshu's uncle from his own family, who was an official in the Beijing Division, was originally a minor official, but he didn't know why, he was favored by Yan Ge Lao, and accepted him as a godson.
That's all it is.
Liu Yunxian's mother and Yan Song's godson's wife are sisters, and this Liu Yunxian's mother sent a letter to the past, and Yan Song actually knew about this matter.
These twists and turns, I don't believe it when I kill Gu Huang, I'm afraid that this pit was dug by them a long time ago, and they are ready to let Yang Yange jump into it.
If you want to blame them, you can only blame them for being too careless.
This Yan Shifan wrote a recital, a rare impeachment, the impeachment was a white body with neither official position nor grade, Jiajing thought that this Yan Shifan was idle and had nothing to do, but looking down at this recital, I saw that it recorded how extravagant the Yang family was, and how to teach and receive it privately with Jinling officials. This made Jiajing, who was already extremely short of money, difficult to suppress in his heart.
During this time, Hetao used troops, and a lot of money was thrown in, but at this time, the two sides were already at a stalemate, which made His Majesty Jiajing, who was originally drifting, more and more nervous.
So with a stroke of the pen, he sent a messenger to Jinling to investigate the case, Gu Juan got the news from Xia Shi, this lord is called Zhao Wenhua, if he digs deeper, he has a close relationship with Yan Song, and he is also one of Yan Song's godsons.
And it is said that this one is the most loved by Yan Song.
The weather is getting colder and colder, Gu Juan instructed Zhang's mother to go outside and buy a few sets of autumn clothes for everyone, but Zhang's mother bought back the clothes, Gu Juan didn't like it too much, this day he took Yuqiu to his own silk village to take a look, a few days ago, the store's revenue came up, it was indeed much less than before, Gu Juan always suspected that it was the shopkeeper's greed for ink.
So the main purpose is to take a look at the specific situation of this store.
Gu Juan walked outside the door, only to see that the silk village was bustling with people, obviously the business was extremely good.
Before Gu Juan walked in, a middle-aged man with a thin face and a shrewd and capable look came out to greet him.
"The owner is here, please come in. ā
The shopkeeper's words are a bit meaningful, if he hadn't added the previous owner, I'm afraid he would have thought that Gu Juan was really a guest. This Yuqiu obviously saw it, and when he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Gu Juan, who said to the female worker who was cutting clothes inside: "I have a style of clothes here, you can make one for me." ā
The female worker did not directly agree, but glanced at the shopkeeper, who hurriedly ran over to the female worker and said, "What are you doing in a daze, the owner asked you to do things." ā
got the approval of the shopkeeper, and the female worker took over the things in Gu Juan's hand.
Gu Juan and the shopkeeper went to the small workshop behind the silk village, and saw that most of the work here were female workers. These little female workers are very small, and in the cold wind of this autumn day, they soak in the cold water and dye cloth, which is extremely pitiful.
Gu Juan couldn't help but speak: "Shopkeeper, why do we still have such a young child here?"
When the shopkeeper heard Gu Juan say this, his face suddenly turned embarrassed, and he complained and said: "The owner doesn't know anything, if any female doll in this city can't afford to raise it, it will be placed at the door of our embroidery village, asking for these female dolls to be given a way out." ā
Gu Juan was stunned for a moment, and then said, "In this way, we have done good deeds, right?"
"That's not it, the old club lost a lot of money here. ā
Gu Juan sneered in his heart, this shopkeeper, I'm afraid that an ignorant woman who doesn't know anything, this Yang family is not a good family, how can she do such a good thing, I'm afraid these poor female dolls are all free workers for these people.
It's just that at this time, Gu Juan has not yet thought of a suitable candidate to replace him, so let this greedy shopkeeper stay here for the time being.
Gu Juan walked around this workshop for a long time, firstly to take a look at the process of this Ming Dynasty textile factory, and secondly, to see if there was an assembly line model of later generations here.
As a result, after a closer look, I found that there was really such a prototype, but there was no large-scale machinery in the end, so it was only a very small part of the assembly line.
It's just that even so, it is many years ahead of foreign countries.
Originally, the shopkeeper wanted to invite Gu Juan to eat outside, but Gu Juan asked to eat with these workers, and it was too late to tell the kitchen at this time.
So Gu Juan is looking at such a scene.
At noon, I ate not rice but soup, and all the dishes were not very fresh Chinese cabbage, only a black flour steamed bun.
Although it was a free lunch, it was too shabby compared to the efforts of the female workers.
Even Yuqiu couldn't stand it anymore, she said to Gu Juan: "Madam, where do they have the strength to work after eating these." ā
Gu Juan didn't speak, but just called the shopkeeper who was busy in the front yard, and with a stern tone, he said: "Shopkeeper, the lunch of these female workers is too shabby, try to be better in the future, don't say anything else, lunch should always be rice." ā
The shopkeeper's face was suddenly embarrassed.
"The owner, you don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive, even if you eat like this, this silk village is still a little unable to make ends meet. ā
Gu Juan looked at the shopkeeper's superb performance and showed a sneer.
