43. See the subtle knowledge
After sending Gu to leave, he came back and met Shang Yan who was holding an account book in his hand.
"Miss-" Seeing Xihe, Shang Yan's eyes suddenly lit up.
These days with Miss is really beneficial, I thought that the woman in the boudoir would count like herself, where did I think that compared with Miss, it is really to sit in the well and watch the sky.
For example, these account books collected from various business names, the effort to check a book by herself, Miss has already read several books, and she was still a little unconvinced, thinking that Miss was not careless in checking, so she took a copy to see, and the result was really shocked, and there was no more mistake.
What's even more incredible is that the lady can immediately give corresponding instructions after reading the account book.
For example, this book in his own hand, when the young lady instructed the messenger today, she did not avoid herself, but she asked the man to go back and tell the shopkeeper of the business not to stop, those silks are not limited to the upper and lower grades, although they are overcharged, and sent to Hezhou for sale as soon as possible, but as far as they know, although there are not many mulberry trees in Hezhou, there are cotton fields all over the ......
When the young lady left, she took the account book and checked it carefully, but in addition to feeling that the numbers were the same, she couldn't see any problems beside her, and I don't know how the young lady knew how the silk was there, and she wanted to buy more? I even thought about how to sell it......
Xihe smiled when he heard this: "It's not that I'm so smart, don't tell Ah Yan that when I wasn't as tall as the desk, Brother Ah took my hand and taught me to read the account book little by littleββ"
If you want to talk about a real genius, it should be Brother Yang Xiyan-
At the age of ten, the elder brother took over the bridal business of his mother's parents, and when he was fifteen years old, he expanded the dowry brought by his mother more than a hundred times, and even when he was busy with the business of the shop, he did not delay the smooth journey of the elder brother's imperial examination, and at the age of sixteen, he was selected for the promotion......
When he first saw the number of family properties, even if he was prepared, he was still frightened, it was really so much money, it was really enough for the descendants of the Yang family to spend a few lifetimes.
"These belongings are all our Ah He's, and Ah He feels that he can spend them as much as he wants."
Brother said so, and even made a joke:
"Then if you are unhappy, Ah He might as well smash him to death with silver."
β¦β¦
"Miss is not just quick to read the accounts," Shang Yan's eyes were shining, and she looked at Xihe's appearance with obvious admiration, "But after looking at the account book, I know how the business should operate next, even my father can't do it." β
"There's no trick to this," Xihe smiled, "but because last year's account books were also handled by me, under the comparison between the two, I naturally know that the price of silk here is cheap and tight, the so-called cheap is like pearl jade, expensive and discarded like dung, clothing is necessary for the world, the price of silk is so much cheaper, naturally the more the better." As for the sale of River State, it is the credit of this account book. β
As he spoke, he turned around and pulled out a ledger and handed it over.
Shang Yan took it and flipped it a few times, but her expression became more and more confused:
"This is the account book of Hezhou, and there is nothing special about it."
Nozomi nodded:
"From this account book, it can be seen that Hezhou has been in good weather this year, and the price of grain is very cheap. When the messenger came, he told me that the cotton fields he passed through along the way were filled with people from morning to night, and even the elderly and children were in the fields with three meals a day......
"Everyone is busy in the cotton field, is it possible that the cotton has reached the picking season......" Shang Yan was still a little ignorant.
"How so." Xihe shook his head and simply said, "Cotton has its own picking season, and the price of grain is stable, which naturally shows that there is no disaster in Hezhou, and it is not yet the ripening season, but there are so many farmers working in the cotton field, which undoubtedly shows that there are a large number ......of insect pests in the cotton field."
Shang Yan finally figured out the trick: "Although the cotton fields are damaged, the grain has been harvested, and people will naturally spare money to buy clothes, so the price of silk thread will naturally rise...... You can think so far, Miss, you are amazing! It's just that my dad is not a little worse than Miss. β
Daddy often said that shopping malls are like battlefields, which are changing rapidly, and if you can seize the opportunity, you can be invincible. If Miss is like this, she will see the clues of the matter early and give countermeasures, and when the news of the rising price of Hezhou silk thread spreads, I am afraid that my own business will already make a lot of money.
His eyes unconsciously drifted to a ledger that was taken out by Xi and Tete, and the expression on his face was obviously a little inexplicable.
"Okay Ayan," looking at Shang Yan's resentful look, Xihe smiled and fell on the chair, "Don't let your father listen, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be sad......"
"What sad and broken." A woman's faint voice sounded outside, "I'm going to die of sadness right now." β
The two looked up together, but it was Cheng Man and Zhou Jing, who were standing outside the door and looking at the two, especially Zhou Jing, whose faces were unusually gloomy.
"Still no news?"
It was also in the past few days that Xihe learned that one of the most important reasons why Zhou Jing came to Anzhou was to find someone.
Although Zhou Jing was vague, she could hear that she was looking for a woman.
"Not really. If it weren't for me, my brother wouldn't be so embarrassed......" Zhou Jing's expression was even more annoyed, "I wanted to share some of the burden with my brother, but it's good, but I can't help at all except for adding to the chaos." β
Don't blame Zhou Jing for being like this. But her family's business has been going wrong lately.
The Zhou family has been operating mainly in cloth for generations, and whenever there is a major event in the royal family, the cloth and silk required are all from the Zhou family.
Seeing that the three princes are about to get married, according to common sense, the dress and cloth required by the prince and the princess should naturally be provided by the Zhou family. Unfortunately, Miss Kong Xiuyu, who is about to become the third princess, was a little disobedient with Zhou Jing before, and she was actually the third prince of TongguΓ², who was picky about several kinds of cloth sent by the Zhou family......
Isn't that embarrassing? It must be known that the golden needle Ge clan disappeared more than ten years ago.
The Zhou family was helpless, but it was a pity that all kinds of favors were ineffective, and it was only after the people who bought the Three Princes' Mansion that the Three Princes knew that the Three Princes were afraid that they were deliberately supporting his cronies to replace the Zhou family, so they were so embarrassed by the Zhou family.
Worried about the Zhou family-
Even if the Zhou family has strong financial resources and has a daughter as a concubine in the palace, but these add up, I am afraid that it cannot compare to the energy of a prince who sits on the grub.
Even if the family didn't complain about Zhou Jing anything, and even the mother persuaded Zhou Jing, saying that Kong Xiuyu and Zhou Jing were not on good terms, it was just an opportunity, the third prince was selfish, even if there was no such thing, it would happen in other things.
Zhou Jing couldn't comfort herself so much.
"You mean, the person you're looking for is the Golden Needle Ge Clan?" Xihe is in the same sentence.
"Yes. No, not quite. Zhou Jing thought of something, shook her head first, and then nodded, "Then the Golden Needle Ge Shi doesn't have to think about it, it can't be said that it will be gone for a long time, otherwise after so many years, why don't you see her have new embroideries coming out?" I just happened to hear someone say that more than ten years ago, she seemed to have appeared in this Anzhou, and even lived here for a long time, so I thought, if I can't find the Ge family, I can find her heir. Where did you think that there would be no more inheritance, it was the name of the Ge family, and no one had ever heard of it. β
"That's just as well." Xihe nodded, "Even my family has lived here for generations, and I have never heard of such a person as the Golden Needle Ge Clan. β
What comes to mind:
"Has there ever been an embroidery of the Golden Needle Ge Clan? Otherwise, someone will dismantle it, please come to the clever embroiderer, and savor the stitch ......"
"How can it be so easy," Zhou Jing's expression became more and more depressed, "I heard that Ge's embroidery method is complicated and gorgeous, and some people have thought about this layer before, but unfortunately I haven't heard that there is an embroidery girl there who has really learned that Ge's stitch method." β
"If you can really find Ge's embroidery, I can help if I can't say it." Cheng Man, who had been silent, suddenly interjected.
"Really?" Hearing Cheng Man say this, Zhou Jing suddenly moved with joy, and after thinking about it again, her face collapsed again-
I have also seen Cheng Man's embroidery in the past few days, and compared to the embroidery girls I have seen every day, the level is really a little higher, it's just that I want to go there to find Ge's embroidery-
I heard that the temperament of the Golden Needle Ge is not ordinary eccentric, such an amazing embroiderer, but there are only a few embroideries that come out, but these few pieces also include the wedding robes of the first queen and the concubine. To say that 20 years ago, Ge's embroidery method was really famous in the world, and because the number is extremely rare, every embroidery is regarded as a treasure, such embroidery is not to say that it is impossible to have it now, that is, there are really people who have the foresight and have preserved, I am afraid that they are not willing to use it, how to be willing to dismantle it casually?
"You mean, have you seen Ge's embroidery?" Xihe's eyes flashed when he heard Zhou Jing say this.
"Hmm." Zhou Jing nodded, "It's just an embroidered handkerchief, but it was obtained by chance by my mother's parents, because I said it was good-looking, so I gave it to play, Ah He didn't know, the fish lotus leaves embroidered on it were really alive." β
"I knew it would be useful, so I wouldn't have played with it that day......"
"You wait." Xihe stood up, took the key to the warehouse, and went to the backyard, and after a while, he came over with a box, and handed it to Zhou Jing with a smile, "I have such a piece of material upside down in my house, listen to what you said, it looks a little similar, you take a look first, see if it is the handwriting of the golden needle Ge you said?" If so, even if it is taken and dismantled, let Sister Man figure it out, even if it is not, I see, such an embroidery is sent over, and the third prince should not be able to find any fault. β
"Thank you, Ah." Zhou Jing's expression was obviously not convinced - after all, no matter how famous the Yang family was, it was famous for its scholarly family, how could it have the financial resources to buy Ge's embroidery? As for saying that the embroidery is comparable to Ge's, it is absolutely impossible.
Only Xihe clearly wanted to help herself, and Zhou Jing was also very grateful.
took it at the moment, and opened the box indispensably, but gasped the moment he saw the embroidery:
"How is that possible! I must be, dazzled! β
