Chapter 306 looks at each other

At the end of August, Cheng Ke rushed back to the capital, entered the palace to hand over the envoy, and returned home for a few hours before being invited into King Jing's mansion by Qingping.

Zhou Jingran lay leisurely on the rocking chair outside the water pavilion, holding a fishing rod and rocking around to catch fish, seeing Cheng Ke come in, beckoning him to sit on the rocking chair next to him, Cheng Ke leaned back on the rocking chair, spread his hands and feet, sighed comfortably, shook the folding fan, and looked at the fishing rod in Zhou Jingran's hand,

"You can still catch fish when you're dangling like this? There are fish that you have chased away."

"I catch fish, but some people are so fast"

Zhou Jingran had a smile on his face, simply threw away the fishing rod, turned his head and looked at Cheng Ke carefully,

"You, who are about to become a father, look much calmer, your Cheng family, there is another happy event, have you heard of it?"

"Happy event? What's the happy event? ”

"Your cousin, what is your name Minhai, I took a fancy to Princess Min's sister-in-law, the twelfth lady of the Qian family, and entrusted her to King Cheng's Mansion, and my eldest brother personally came forward and pressed the third brother to be this big matchmaker."

The folding fan in Cheng Ke's hand froze in mid-air, looking at Zhou Jingran in amazement,

"That's it?"

"It didn't work out, I heard that Gu ****'s milk disliked the Qian family's twelfth lady again, and she didn't want to do it again."

Zhou Jingran said with a smile on his face, and Cheng Ke snorted sullenly,

"When I go back, I will tell my father, whether it is the Min Wangfu or the Qian family, it is not what he says."

"Look at you, what are you doing with your uncle? Although the surname is also Cheng, but that Cheng and your Cheng are not the same 'Cheng' word, even if you are willing, I don't want to recognize this family."

Zhou Jingran shook the folding fan and said lazily, Cheng Ke secretly breathed a sigh of relief, twisted his brows and didn't speak, Zhou Jingran took the folding fan and stabbed him,

"Don't learn from your uncle's old-fashioned style, you see that you have become more and more old-fashioned in the past two years, although you are going to be a father, you can't do this, beware of Xiao Nuan disliking you."

Cheng Ke snorted, picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp, Zhou Jingran poured it back leisurely, and then said:

"This thing, it's the eldest brother who has done it, these two families are not right and don't say it, that Min Hai, I asked Qianyue to inquire, Zhi Da Cai Shu, sleeping flowers and willows, pretentious ****, the green peony in the Peony Building, is now being wrapped by him, no wonder my mother said that there is only an empty shelf left in the Runan Palace, that Zhou Shixin has been reading with Min Hai as a companion, this pen is getting more and more generous day by day, the silver is used, tsk, Xiao Ke, that is called spending money like flowing water, which is desirable."

Cheng Ke closed his eyes, slowly shook the folding fan, and didn't speak, Zhou Jingran sighed for a while, turned his head to look at Cheng Ke, and asked in a curious low voice:

"You say, this Cheng Mufeng family and Xiao Nuan, which one has more silver?"

Cheng Ke suffocated into his chest in one breath and glared at Zhou Jingran,

"Xiao Nuan is your sister-in-law, you ask her to go to her dowry, I don't care"

Zhou Jingran smiled and narrowed his eyes,

"Cheng Mufeng's family is definitely not as good as Xiao Nuan, I think Xiao Nuan has more silver, you just went back to the house, did you see Xiao Nuan? Xiao Nuan told you that she didn't have a new business? ”

"Hmph, where is the time to speak? As soon as you entered the house, weren't you called over? ”

"It's okay, I'll tell you."

Zhou Jingran had a very good temper and said while laughing:

"Xiao Nuan has made the capital, well, there are also the eldest sister of the Gu family, the second sister of the Gu family, and the daughter-in-law of Gu Xiao, hand them over to the eldest sister of the Gu family to do some points, and do the business of curing meat to the north, Xiao Nuan's business is naturally good, such a business, guess who it has attracted?"

Without waiting for Cheng Ke to answer, Zhou Jingran squinted his eyes and smiled, and took it himself,

"I actually recruited the Yan family, and first said that I wanted to buy Xiao Nuan's recipe for cured meat, how could Xiao Nuan be so good at him, where would he sell it to him, he would partner with the Yan family to do this business, and the capital would be half of each, the Yan family was in charge of the cured meat in the north, and the eldest sister of the Gu family was in charge of the sales in the south, and the Yan family really agreed, and now these two families are in one place to do the business of cured meat in the north and dried vegetables in the south."

Cheng Ke looked at Zhou Jingran suspiciously, Zhou Jingran raised his eyebrows, and looked at Cheng Ke smug with a smile,

"How do I know it's so clear, right? Xiao Nuan is my sister, can you tell me something? Xiao Nuan asked Qianyue to come over and tell me, because it was the Yan family, Xiao Nuan couldn't make up her mind, so she specially asked Qianyue to come over and ask me what I meant. ”

Cheng Ke squinted at Zhou Jingran, Xiao Nuan was extremely cautious, this business with the Yan family, since someone was willing to bear it for her, how could she not use it? Zhou Jingran was in a good mood and rocked the rocking chair,

"I asked the eldest sister of the Gu family and the Yan family to partner in business to the eldest brother."

Zhou Jingran's smile was oozing with coldness, and he said in a low voice, Cheng Ke looked at him intently, did not answer, Zhou Jingran was silent for a moment, and sighed with satisfaction,

"It's worthy of my sister, this step by step is really long-term."

"You also think too much about her, if only she could think about it so long-term, she does business with the Yan family, she must have taken a fancy to the Yan family's making this cured meat in the northland, which is more cost-effective than making it herself, what do you think, where can she think of it?"

Zhou Jingran glanced at Cheng Ke from the corner of his eyes, and ignored him, Gu Zi closed his eyes, the corners of his mouth were full of smiles, and he shook the rocking chair to think of it. After a while, Zhou Jingran opened his eyes, looked at Cheng Ke and asked:

"You've had a good trip, haven't you?"

"Well, there is nothing to do with Caoyun, in terms of salt tax, I raised it by one percent, saying that the price of salt cannot be moved, and no one dares to say a word more than the Jin family, it is very smooth, those salt merchants are really rich and rival the country, and the salt of the Jin family is just used to distribute to those families, and it is all appropriate."

Cheng Ke said in a deep voice, Zhou Jingran raised his eyebrows, suddenly laughed, and pointed at Cheng Ke with a folding fan,

"But you grew into the Jin family for the sake of salt tax? Yes? ”

"That's right, I've never been clear about public and private"

Cheng Ke said very seriously, and Zhou Jingran stomped his feet and laughed.

Gu **** used a coral tree, two good shops to get rid of the Qian family's relatives, and began to be busy looking for opportunities to see the girls of the same age and undecided relatives in the capital.

Early this morning, the mother-in-law hurriedly came in, saw the ceremony, leaned into Gu ****'s milk's ear, and reported in a low voice:

"**** milk, just the slave maid in the corner of the street in the north and south goods shop to see the goods, happened to hear the two mother-in-law next to the mouth, the slave maid heard the meaning of the words, it was the mother-in-law who followed the house out, the slave maid was on the heart, waiting for her to come out, invited her to the teahouse next to her, spent dozens of dollars to invite her to drink a cup of tea, and stuffed two taels of silver to her, the mother-in-law said, wait a while, the twelfth miss of the Qian family, the Tang family, and the two young ladies of the Wenshang book of the Criminal Department, want to go to Yue Jinxiuzhuang to pick up clothes."

Gu ****'s eyes lit up suddenly, and she took a silver ticket of five taels from her sleeve and handed it to her mother-in-law.

"This is your heart, reward you, hurry up and let people prepare the car"

The mother-in-law hurriedly took the silver ticket, closed her smiling eyes together, hurriedly agreed, and went out to order someone to prepare the car.

Gu **** changed into new clothes, took a few girls and mothers-in-law, and went to Yue Jinxiu Village.

The housekeeper of Yue Jinxiu Village took Gu ****'s milk into it diligently, and led her into a quiet single room, while flattering, while letting people send all kinds of new clothes over, Gu **** milk has no fixed preferences, but all new and expensive ones only care about buying, and they are big customers of Yue Jinxiuzhuang.

Gu **** absentmindedly flipped through her clothes, looked around through the window, and probed the words of the housekeeper's mother-in-law,

"Are there many ladies and ladies who came to pick out clothes today?"

"Many, not many days? Like this, it is a new look that just came out the day before yesterday, a total of four colors were made, and today there is only this one color, this color with **** milk, it is just right, it really seems to be made for **** milk, or, I wait for **** milk to try? ”

"Well, don't try, wrap it up,"

Gu **** agreed casually, and continued to look out the window,

"Are there many girls coming today?"

The housekeeper looked at Gu ****'s milk suspiciously, but her face was not shown at all, and she replied enthusiastically:

"It's not much today, it's just that Miss Tang and Miss Wen have a total of four or five young ladies, picking out clothes between the static characters inside."

Gu **** was overjoyed, and hurriedly pointed to the clothes that had been spread out and ordered:

"I want all of these, let someone send them to the house for me, I have long heard that Miss Qian is born with a beautiful appearance, and she is free today, and it is also a coincidence, Mama Wu will take me to take a sneak look?"

As he spoke, he took out a few silver tickets from his sleeve and quietly stuffed them into Mama Wu's hand, and Mama Wu hurriedly stuffed them back again.

"**** milk is polite, say something that shouldn't be said, **** milk is not a man, don't say sneak a look, it's just a bright past look, it's also a very common thing, this, the little **** doesn't dare to accept it, if the shopkeeper knows, my job will not be guaranteed."

When Gu **** heard this, she was no longer strong, so she took the opportunity to accept the silver ticket, and regardless of the clothes on the bed, she urged Mrs. Wu to look at a few young ladies between the static words.

Gu ****'s eyes were not enough, looking at a few flower-like girls one by one, only to feel that all of them were extremely satisfying, just looking, a mother-in-law inside came out with a piece of clothing, glanced at Gu ****'s milk, beckoned Mrs. Wu over, and asked with a smile:

"This grandmother is also the steward of this Yue Jinxiu Workshop, right? My girl has something to command. ”

Mrs. Wu hurriedly took two steps forward, bent her knees slightly, and replied enthusiastically:

"Mama has something to do, just tell me."

"That's the case, our girl will go to the Daciyun Temple tomorrow with a few girls inside, go to the Daciyun Temple to make incense, and at the end of the morning, we will go to the Daciyun Temple, our girl wants to wear this dress, this skirt, you have to put it on, Mama see, can you catch up tonight, but don't delay tomorrow to wear."

Mrs. Wu looked at her mother-in-law in wonder, this mother-in-law who is in charge of reception in this quiet word room, such a trivial matter, why did she come out to find her? Although she was puzzled, Mrs. Wu didn't dare to delay, she was busy agreeing, and was about to pick up the clothes, the mother-in-law nodded with satisfaction, and went in again with the clothes
