A carriage carried Jiang Li and Mei Yingxue into the Mei Mansion. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info two boxes of brocade taken out, one box was given to Mei Yingxue, and the other box was personally sent to Mrs. Mei with the girl.

The Mei family is also rich in Jiangnan, Mrs. Mei has been managing the economy in the family for many years, and it is said that she has never seen any kind of silk and satin, but she really hasn't seen these brocades sent by Jiang Li!

The production process of Nanchen Yunjin has always been a skill that Nanchen does not pass on, and Yunjin is rare in such a rich place in the south of the Yangtze River. Mrs. Mei holds the cloud brocade in her hand and looks at it carefully, the craftsmanship is exquisite, the pattern is exquisite, the color is elegant and luxurious, and a large amount of gold weaving is also used in the pattern.

It is said that every inch of brocade is golden, and a horse like this cloud brocade is worth a lot of money, and Jiang Li is a box when he gives it away. Mrs. Mei was accustomed to being a person who was in charge of the accounts, and with a slight turn of her mind, she estimated Jiang Li's box of gifts at an astonishing price.

Thinking of the snub to Jiang Li a few days ago, Mrs. Mei couldn't wait to accompany her with a thousand times more enthusiasm. said a lot of polite words of thanks to Jiang Li, and called all the girls in Meihuawu, and warned the girls in front of Jiang Li to be careful and enthusiastic to serve Jiang Li.

Jiang Li took advantage of Mrs. Mei's enthusiasm to ask her for advice: Jiang Li, the uncle of the other two rooms of the Mei family, had not yet had time to visit one by one, so he just asked Mrs. Mei to make a detailed list of the names of the other two families.

Mrs. Mei even praised her niece and daughter for being polite, and then found a girl who could write and calculate, and wrote a list for Jiang Li.

Jiang Li accepted the order and returned. The next day, I went to Wanfozhai again, and this time I took thirty or forty boxes back, leaving more than ten boxes, and several cousins, cousins, and cousins in the eldest uncle's family asked the servants to deliver them one by one, and then sent them to the other two uncles' houses.

After finishing everything, Jiang Li was tired enough. After a few days of banquets and gifts, Jiang Li had to go out for a few days, and he had to take Mei Yingxue to accompany her from time to time.

On this day, when I came back from outside, I met Mei Yuanshan and Mei Zixuan, father and son, playing chess in the pavilion in the garden.

Jiang Li was about to turn around to Meihuawu, remembering that he hadn't seen his uncle at home for a long time, and he heard that there was some trouble in the Mei family's business, and Jiang Li never had time to ask what was going on. Although it may not be helpful to ask, at least should you show your concern? Thinking of this, he was about to go over and say hello, Mei Yuanshan raised his head and saw Mei Yingxue and Jiang Li.

Mei Yuanshan rested his hand and asked the servant to call the Jiang Li sisters to him.

Mei Zixuan saw that his father had stopped, so he put away the chess pieces by himself, Mei Yuanshan suddenly moved, "Let's put away the chess slowly, last time I went to the capital, I heard that your cousin's chess skills are quite good, she came just in time, you compete with her." ”

As he spoke, the father and son glanced at the two sisters who had walked hand in hand over to the garden. Mei Yingxue, who is dressed in a light pink Luo dress and a wide-sleeved long skirt, can also be regarded as a typical Jiangnan girl, with a slender and slender figure, a gentle temperament and exquisite facial features. Clever smile, beautiful eyes, especially her lively nature, makes her every move and smile particularly eye-catching.

But Jiang Li, who came with her, has a temperament that ordinary people don't have, down-to-earth and generous, bright and moving, and there is some unpredictable mystery and calmness.

This is what Jiang Li looks like when he is not embarrassed by others. At this time, her appearance is no different from that of an ordinary daughter. The ordinary flowing clouds and black buns on the head, the face is covered with light makeup, the skin is delicate and moisturized, and a pair of almond eyes are as clear as water, embedded under the fine eyelashes, like two clear pools, shining brightly.

Jiang Li wore a bright and bright flower cloud brocade skirt today, the background color is elegant, the flower pattern is exquisite, the color is blended, the color is light and dark with the appropriate shade, and it is more glamorous between the eyebrows.

Jiang Li walked into the pavilion and looked at Mei Yuanshan and Mei Zixuan saluting. Mei Yuanshan pointed to the chessboard and said: "I am old these years, and my brain is not as good as a year, but your cousin never knows how to respect the old and the virtuous, and I don't know how to let him be old." Come on, niece and daughter, and put out his arrogance for me! ”

Mei Yuanshan said and gave up his seat, motioned for Jiang Li to sit down, and he stepped aside to watch the chess.

Jiang Li sat down with a little hesitation, swept the chess game in front of him, Bai Zi was attacked on three sides, the chess game was worrying, but there was still a glimmer of life. Jiang Li thought about it for a while, but heard Mei Zixuan say: "My cousin gave me such a box of valuable Yunjin, and I haven't thanked you in person." ”

Jiang Li fell into his hand, "I don't think my uncle's silk is anything, it's just that it is produced in my own workshop, many patterns are designed by myself, and some are brocades woven by myself, some small gifts, just a piece of heart." ”

"Brocade is a great skill, especially cloud brocade, the craft is not known how complicated. Do you do it yourself? Mei Zixuan pinched the chess pieces in her hand and looked at Jiang Li in surprise. After saying that, a son fell, and it was only when he fell that he realized that he was not thinking about it.

"Hmm. Actually, I'm just interested, and I occasionally use my hands to knit and play. Jiang Li ate his son quickly, was in a good mood, and asked the question he had wanted to ask for a long time: "Jiangnan brocade has always been very famous, I also want to open a brocade workshop in Jiangnan, uncle and cousin, do you think these brocade crafts I brought are suitable for development in Jiangnan?" ”

Mei Yuanshan groaned: "It's a good thing that you come to Jiangnan to do business, and we can take care of it nearby." However, you have a daughter's family, and there is no shortage of money in your hands, so it's not good to worry too much about business matters. If you want me to say that you can keep it, you can do it well. Like your cousin Yingxue, although I don't restrict her from running out, I don't want her to be a businessman. ”

Mei Yuanshan added again: "I believe that if your mother is here, she will think the same as me." ”

Even though Mei Yuanshan was bitter, Jiang Li had already made up his mind: "Uncle only needs to answer me, with these brocade crafts, is there a good prospect of opening a workshop in Jiangnan?" ”

"Of course, it's better to open a brocade workshop in the south!" Mei Zixuan blurted out.

"I heard that the capital has added a new brocade silk courtyard, and the imperial court began to control the brocade, and the brocade is not only supplied to the palace, but also has many scruples when the dignitaries can afford to wear it. Where can the average person afford to wear. However, the textile industry in the south of the Yangtze River has always been exported more, and the imperial court is not so strict, and the exquisite brocade is not worried about selling, and it can be auctioned at a sky-high price overseas. ”

Speaking of Xingtou, Mei Zixuan didn't forget to play chess, his eyes slipped away from the chess game, and he said idly:

"Anyway, our family has a fleet to go to sea, and when the time comes, you can sell as much goods as you have in the weaving mill overseas." Mei Zixuan is Mei Yuanshan's youngest son, who specializes in purchasing and preparing goods to and from overseas.

"That's good, I'll thank my cousin here." Jiang Li waited for this sentence, and dropped a white piece casually, and the chess game was equalized. His eyes rolled to look at his uncle Mei Yuanshan: "But it's not good to let you piggyback every time, why don't I invest in your fleet, or I will also buy a few ships and hire some people to run the sea, and my uncle will help me check and pull the strings?" ”
