Shopkeeper Wang politely thanked Gu Sanniang for wanting to act as Dai Chunlin's meaning, Gu Sanniang was quiet for a moment, unwilling to give up, she was thinking about how to persuade the shopkeeper Wang again, when she saw a young man come in and spread the word: "Shopkeeper Wang, the young owner is here." ”

Immediately, a tall man came in from outside, he was wearing an indigo blue round-necked moire brocade robe, his face was very white, he was wearing a golden crown of double dragons grabbing pearls on his head, and a pair of black soap-soled boots on his feet.

Shopkeeper Wang stood up, first said respectfully 'Shaodongjia', and then said to Shen Zhuo and Gu Sanniang: "This is the young owner of our name, after listening to the intention of the shopkeeper Gu, I specially sent someone to invite him over." ”

Shen Zhuo and Gu Sanniang got up and said hello to the proprietors first, Gu Sanniang secretly puzzled in her heart, the shopkeeper Wang had no intention of handing over Dai Chunlin's agent to her, so she just refused, why did she specially invite their young proprietors?

At the same time that Gu Sanniang was puzzled, Shen Zhuo also glanced at the Zhu Dong family a few times, this person was a little familiar to him, as if he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't really think about it for a while, he thought about it again, although this Zhu clan was born as an imperial businessman, but he ran Dai Chunlin's business from generation to generation, and he was also a wang clan in Beijing, so he couldn't say that he had seen him anywhere, so after thinking about it, Shen Zhuo said: "The bosses are very kind when they look at their faces. ”

Zhu Dongjia smiled at Shen Zhuo, and he said: "In Xia Zhuhong, Jiang Gongzi and nobles forget a lot, I don't think I remember, the Lantern Festival in the ninth year of Longzhen, I and Gongzi have met in the capital. ”

Hearing the words of the proprietors, Gu Sanniang was taken aback, how could this person call Shen Zhuo Jiang Gongzi? Looking at Shen Zhuo again, I saw a faint look on his face, and he replied casually: "I see." ”

Na Zhuhong sensitively sensed that Shen Zhuo seemed to be reluctant to mention more about the affairs in the capital, so he stopped talking, turned his head to look at the shopkeeper Wang, and said, "Jiang Gongzi is here, why didn't he send someone to call me over earlier." ”

The shopkeeper Wang was like a person, he saw that he didn't recognize the wrong person, he became more and more respectful when facing Shen Zhuo, and explained the intention of Shen Zhuo and Gu Sanniang, Zhu Hong listened, took a look at the shopkeeper Wang, and said: "What do I only do, you are also confused, the shopkeeper Gu takes care of our Dai Chunlin's business, how can there be a reason to push the guests out?" Wait a while, you will discuss carefully with the shopkeeper Gu, and you must not despise the guests. ”

Shopkeeper Wang said yes again and again, he heard Shen Zhuo's self-claim earlier, so he said to his young owner: "This is Shen Gongzi, this time I made a special trip to accompany Shopkeeper Gu to Tongcheng." ”

Zhu Hong is also a wonderful person, and immediately changed his mouth to call Shen Zhuo Shen Gongzi, as for Gu Sanniang, he called her Gu Shopkeeper along with the Wang Shopkeeper.

Looking at the master and servant singing and singing, Gu Sanniang was full of doubts in her heart, and the shopkeeper Wang said a moment ago that Dai Chunlin's rouge gouache was not an agent, how did he come to Zhuhong, and his attitude changed again, thinking of this, Gu Sanniang glanced at Shen Zhuo who was sitting beside him, and at this time the corners of his eyes drooped slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Gu Sanniang thought to herself, knowing that this qiē might have something to do with Shen Zhuo, but what was he? Why did Zhu Hong call him Jiang Gongzi?

The four people in the room had different thoughts, although Zhu Hong had relented, but Gu Sanniang suddenly heard him call Shen Zhuo Jiang Gongzi, but her heart was more surprised than happy, she thought for a long time, and said to Zhu Hong: "Boss Zhu is willing to do convenience, and the little woman is grateful." ”

Zhu Hong looked at Gu Sanniang squarely, and he said: "Gu is a female shopkeeper, and she came all the way from Lixian County, and this courage that is not afraid of the world alone is admired by Zhu. ”

Gu Sanniang said a few polite words, and said in her mouth: "The bosses have won the award, and life is just forced." ”

Subsequently, the two sides talked about the rouge market in various places, Gu Sanniang knew more about this from others, but the shopkeeper of Zhuhong and Wang was an expert, and after talking with them, Gu Sanniang learned that there were so many doorways in the rouge business.

When they spoke, Shen Zhuo sat alone and never interjected, Zhu Hong originally wanted to get to know him, but later saw that he was interested in lack of money, so he didn't talk, just chatted with this Gu Sanniang, at first he only thought she was just an ordinary woman, who knew that after talking for a long time, he saw that this woman was cool and generous, but he was very angry with him, so he asked the shopkeeper Wang to give Dai Chunlin's rouge to her agent, which can be regarded as selling him the eldest son of the Jiang family a favor.

After talking for a long time, after a while, a guy brought all kinds of rouge gouache to send, and the shopkeeper Wang said: "These are Dai Chunlin's most fashionable rouge gouache, both rich and noble people love to use, and small households can afford to use, according to my humble opinion, those big families want to buy our Dai Chunlin's things, but I'm afraid it's not a difficult thing, but ordinary people are waiting for a trip to it, like these medium-priced lipstick powder, I'm afraid it's more popular." ”

Gu Sanniang thought the same as the shopkeeper Wang, she smiled and said, "The shopkeeper Wang said very much. ”

As she spoke, Gu Sanniang picked a white jade box and opened it, and it was immediately fragrant, Zhu's rouge is of high quality, and the price is much more expensive than others, but just Dai Chunlin's signboard is also worth it, this time in Tongcheng, in addition to leaving some daily expenses at home, she brought all her net worth, but even if she invested all the money in it, she couldn't buy much goods this time, thinking of this, she sighed a few times in her heart.

Shen Zhuo listened for a long time, Gu Sanniang's money in his hand was limited, but if he missed this opportunity, it would be rare to have a next time, he thought for a while and said: "The price of the shopkeeper Wang is not low, you also know that Lixian and Tongcheng are far apart, and the shopkeeper Gu has been doing business for a short time, so he has to give her a little money." ”

Zhu Hong bowed his head to eat tea and was silent, and the shopkeeper Wang glanced at his young owner, and said in embarrassment: "Shen Gongzi, Dai Chunlin's rouge is worth every penny, this messes up the price, I can't afford it." ”

Shen Zhuo smiled, looked at Zhu Hong again, and said, "What about Boss Zhu?" ”

Zhu Hong raised his head and looked at Shen Zhuo, he said: "That's it, the first time of trading, Dai Chunlin let the price of two cents, and then go back to the shopkeeper to ask for the goods, only ask someone to go to the passenger ship in Liulin Town to say, we will put the goods on the ship and bring them back, so that there is less running on both sides, and the shopkeeper Gu can also save a sum of expenses." ”

Gu Sanniang was slightly happy when she heard this, and Shen Zhuo also arched her hand towards him, and said with a smile: "I agreed." ”

After the deal was negotiated, the shopkeeper Wang asked, "What kind of things does the shopkeeper Gu like, you order the goods, only report the address of the investment store, and then you will have a guy to send it to you." ”

Gu Sanniang did not hesitate, and immediately ordered the goods, she picked up the Meihua slave Banbianjiao and Ye'er Cry and ordered twenty boxes each, and ordered twenty boxes of butterfly powder and purple incense powder, and then there were more than 20 Dai pens for drawing eyebrows, and when the account was settled, there was little silver left in her hand.

After a while, the shopkeeper Wang opened a note, and so far, Gu Sanniang's rouge business can be regarded as a successful first step.

After working for most of the day, it was not early, Gu Sanniang and Shen Zhuo were about to leave, and Zhu Hong said to the two of them: "It's almost noon, it's better to be the east in the next, and invite Shen Gongzi and Gu Shopkeeper to have dinner, which can be regarded as a meeting between us." ”

Gu Sanniang glanced at Shen Zhuo, she intuitively felt that he didn't like to socialize, and said: "Bosses don't have to be polite, the coming days are long, and there will always be a time to get together again in the future." ”

Seeing this, Zhu Hong didn't be polite anymore, he personally sent Gu Sanniang and Shen Zhuo to the door, looked at the background of their departure, and said to the shopkeeper Wang who was standing behind: "Shaodong, why did this eldest son of the Jiang family fall to the point of mixing in the market?" ”

Zhu Hong shook his head and said: "The affairs of the Jiang family, we outsiders can't understand it, the good eldest son has changed his surname, I am afraid that it will be difficult to enter the Jiang Mansion in this life." ”

After saying this, Zhu Hong turned his head to look at the king's shopkeeper again, and said: "However, you must not look down on him because of this, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, who knows what will change in the future." ”

"Yes." The king's shopkeeper Nono nodded.

On the other side, Gu Sanniang and Shen Zhuo came out of Dai Chunlin, and the two walked along the street towards the inn, this Gu Sanniang had a full stomach of words, she was not good at asking in front of outsiders before, and she looked up at Shen Zhuo several times, but when it came to her mouth, she swallowed it again.

Behind Shen Zhuo's hand, he looked at Gu Sanniang, who wanted to speak and stopped, and said softly: "If you have anything to say, you can ask if you want to." ”

Gu Sanniang looked at him, this person always looked gentle and polite, but it was only then that she remembered that there were many things she didn't know.

"Your surname is not Shen?" Gu Sanniang asked in a low voice.

Shen Zhuo nodded, there is a tea house not far away, I am afraid of a lot of things to say today, he led Gu Sanniang into the tea house, and asked the person who ran the hall to send a pot of tea, and the two sat down opposite each other.

"Shen is my mother's surname, and I changed my mother's surname." Shen Zhuo said to her.

Gu Sanniang remembered that Zhu Hong called him Jiang Gongzi, according to this, he should have been surnamed Jiang, but even she, a woman from the countryside, knew that a scholar like Shen Zhuo changed the name and surname given by his ancestors if something big didn't happen, and he was afraid that it would hinder his career.

"Bosses did you give Dai Chunlin's rouge to me for the sake of your face?"

Shen Zhuo nodded again, and he said: "Come to think of it, there are many children of the Zhu family, and I don't know him about this Zhuhong, and I just had a relationship with him before." ”

"Then ......" Gu Sanniang hesitated, she looked at Shen Zhuo, who was sitting opposite, and said, "People gave me this benefit because of you, do you want to have any favors in the future?" ”

Seeing her worried look, Shen Zhuo laughed, it's just a family, he doesn't care about it, and now that he has left the Jiang family and lost his identity as the eldest son of the Jiang family, he can't help anything.

"It has nothing to do with you, you just do your rouge business." Shen Zhuo comforted.

Gu Sanniang was relieved, she secretly said that she and the Zhu clan had a business relationship of money and goods, if they wanted Shen Zhuo to do what he didn't want to do, it would be a big deal to not do this business.

After saying a few words, the two of them quieted down together, Gu Sanniang knew that Shen Zhuo didn't want to mention the past, but she didn't know about it unintentionally, and for a while, she didn't know what to say.
