Chapter 104: Face-to-face

(123456789) (123456789) Coming out of the Liqiu Courtyard, Chu Yiyao thought a lot, and habitually predicted the consequences of these things, for Old Man Shen, in fact, who inherits is not the point, who can carry forward this Shen family, if he can dominate Jinling, then he is the most satisfied person in his heart. 123456789123456789

As he was walking, Shui Ruoqian came to meet her, followed by two maids, still holding some things in her hands.

"I'm looking for you." Shui Ruoqian looked at Chu Yiyao with a smile, this kind of sudden familiarity Shui Ruoqian is more familiar than Chu Yiyao's hand, Chu Yiyao was only slightly stunned, and quickly called her sister-in-law with a smile and took her back to the Academy.

Since getting married, there is actually no intersection between the two rooms of the big house, after all, they are not new brothers, and Chu Yiyao does not need to go to Yan's to ask for peace, so this is the first time Shui Ruoqian has come to the Scholar's Courtyard and brought her into the house, Chu Yiyao ordered the peacock to make tea and invited her to sit down.

Shui Ruoqian looked around, looked at Chu Yiyao and said, "This scholarly courtyard hasn't changed much." Seeing Chu Yiyao's doubts, she covered her mouth and explained with a chuckle, "Because Old Madam Shen is my aunt, she often came to the Shen family when she was young, and she has also been to this scholarly courtyard a few times. โ€

Chu Yiyao nodded, the peacock quickly brought the tea, Chu Yiyao picked up the cup and smiled, "I'm lazy." โ€

"My brother and sister are still lazy, then I'm going to be ashamed, I've heard about my brother and sister when I'm at home, a woman can take care of the family's business so well, my little sister can worship you." Shui Ruoqianhao boasted without hesitation, but Chu Yiyao was flattered, this time he came to the door, he didn't come to show his worship.

"Look at me, I forgot, this is my family's fur from the north of the domain, bring you two pieces, although this winter is not cold, but the woman's family, it is always not wrong to keep out the cold." Shui Ruoqian asked the maid to bring the fur she brought over, and held it in her hand for Chu Yiyao to touch, compared to Jinling, which was raised, in such a cold place in the north of the region, the animal's fur was naturally much warmer.

Chu Yiyao looked at this fur and was slightly surprised, "This is not..."

The smile on Shui Ruoqian's face was even worse, with some smugness, "My brother and sister are really knowledgeable, it's this white fox skin." โ€

The Chu family does not touch this fur business, because this fur is the same as private salt, and the imperial court has a ban, although there is no unclean thing in the business, but the strength is insufficient, and they really dare not touch these things that may be raided at any time. 123456789123456789

"That's a rarity." Over the years, the hunting of cold animals in the north of the region has been excessive, and this white fox skin is indeed rare, and Shui Ruoqian is two pieces when he gives it, and his hand is really big.

Shui Ruoqian saw that Chu Yiyao liked it, so she put this fur on Chu Yiyao's knees, "What is rare, just use it." โ€

"Sister-in-law, you wait." Chu Yiyao handed the fur to the peacock on the side, walked into the inner room, looked at it in front of the shelf, chose a box and walked out, seeing Shui Ruoqian looking at herself, she put the box on the table, and said apologetically, "It should be me who went to visit my sister-in-law first, this is some of the things I collect on weekdays, sister-in-law, if you like it, you can wear some pendants." โ€

There is a square jade stone in the box, in order not to waste the jade material just simply polished the edges, they are all people who know the goods, Shui Ruoqian naturally knows at a glance, and does not shirk, accepts the box and hands it to the maid behind him, and said politely, "There is no one who comes first, according to the old man's words, this is the granddaughter-in-law of the Shen family, I will come to see you first when I am empty, there will be more days in the future, brother and sister don't bother me." โ€

Chu Yiyao can only be regarded as hearing the meaning of her words, in the words of the old man, they are all the granddaughters-in-law of the Shen family, but on the bright side, Chu Yiyao is still young, so let the sister-in-law always come to see her, isn't it rude.

"How so?" Chu Yiyao lowered her head and took a sip of tea, and when she looked up, there was a hint of closeness in her eyes, "In the future, I still have to bother my sister-in-law more, and at that time, sister-in-law don't hate me." โ€

Shui Ruoqian smiled and said something else, after chatting for half an hour, Shui Ruoqian got up to say goodbye, Chu Yiyao personally sent her out, looking at the two furs on the couch, and gradually lost her smile, the courtesy is still exchanged, the sister-in-law has come over in person, can she Chu Yiyao not come to the door next time...

The two maids followed Shui Ruoqian back to Xufeng Courtyard, and the maid next to her asked her how to deal with the things sent by her second young grandmother, Shui Ruoqian glanced at the jade stone, and the corners of her mouth raised a smile that seemed to be nothing, "Don't waste your younger siblings' minds, take it and cut it, my hairpin is just missing this pendant, and you can let the master watch and do the rest." โ€

The maid went down with the box, and a mother walked in and said to her, "Miss, the eldest lady has come to greet you, and she has been waiting for you." โ€

Shui Ruoqian's hand holding the lid of the cup paused, and impatience flashed in her eyes, "Please come in." 123456789123456789โ€

This is almost the end of the day, that is to say, Shen Guobao waited for nearly an hour in order to greet her, Shui Ruoqian watched Shen Guobao walk into the house, she didn't hate this child, but she hated what reminded her behind this child, and this fact was what Shui Ruoqian hated the most.

Shen Guobao saluted her obediently, "My daughter greets her mother." โ€

Shui Ruoqian came back to her senses and waved her hand, "Sit down, I've waited for so long, if I'm not there next time, don't wait." Shen Guobao sat down, pulled the handkerchief with her little hand, and always maintained the listening look on her face, she didn't want to wait a little longer, but how did her mother tell her, she could come back soon, since she would come back soon, if she left, it would be hers again.

"I also mentioned it when I went to greet your grandmother this morning, you are not young, and you can't live in your grandmother's place all the time, you should have your own yard, there are so many free now, which one do you want to live, I will send someone to clean it up, and you can move in." Shui Ruoqian said the name of a few yards, Shen Guobao bit her lip lightly, the yard she wanted to live in, her grandmother and father would not agree, so she blushed slightly and smiled shyly, "Mother arranged it." โ€

"Then Zhiqing Courtyard, the orientation is good, it's not far from your grandmother, the courtyard is too big and it's not suitable, I think that's just right." Shui Ruoqian saw that she let herself make up her mind, and directly said what she thought in her heart, Shen Guobao nodded and said Okay, and the matter was decided.

Waiting for Shen Guobao to leave, Shui Ruoqian's nurse Mother Wang persuaded her, "Miss, now is the time for you to cultivate a relationship with the eldest lady, is Zhiqing Courtyard a little far away, and when the eldest lady is older, this will be unfamiliar." โ€

"It's easy for you to say it, it's a seven-year-old child, can you live near every day and ask an An to cultivate something, I treat her well, she respects me, that's enough, I want me to spend my time trying to please that child, I can't do it." Shui Ruoqian sighed, she has her pride, in her opinion, Zhiqing Courtyard is not bad, and it is the best to be close to her mother.

"I'm afraid the eldest lady is also thinking the same." Mother Wang touched her shoulder distressedly, the more respectful she was, the more alienated she actually became.

There was a maid's request outside the house, and it was Yan's eldest maid who sent something over, saying that it was the Shen family's tea party at the end of April, and she wanted Shui Ruoqian to help take a look.

What Yan sent over was the drawing style of some tea party tea sets, and there were also business houses or shops that bought this tea set next to it, Shui Ruoqian turned a few pages, the porcelain of the Chu family has been so good in recent years, and there is no Chu family in this large stack of drawings.

The Shen family's tea party is not once a year, this year's is still specially ordered by Mr. Shen, in a large sense to celebrate the success of barley tea, so this tea set should be paid attention to, as a daughter-in-law, she naturally will not bother to remind her mother-in-law not to forget that there is also the Chu family, left the booklet and said to take a look, and sent someone to send the maid away...

At the end of March, the merchant ships that left Jinling came back, Chu Yiyao read the letter written by the second sister-in-law, and was relieved a lot, the orders received by the five branches have not decreased, even if the counterparts in Jinling follow suit this time, the Chu family can still firmly grasp the list.

"Miss, the carriage is ready." Ping'er came in to report that Chu Yiyao took Baosheng and took another maid out to go out to the boudoir, this was the first time she went out alone since she got married, the carriage was arranged by Shen Shixuan for her, Chu Yiyao opened the curtain to look at the street market outside, and it was only more than a month after that, and many new shops had opened in Nantang Market.

Chu Yiyao went out today with a tight schedule, first arrived at the boudoir, I didn't see the second uncle for a long time, and the two of them talked about the business of the boudoir with the shopkeeper these days, as the apprentices in the Zhuangzi became more and more proficient, the shortage of goods decreased a lot, Chu Yiyao gave the second master a few drawings, so that he had time to send them to Master Bai in the Zhuangzi.

Shopkeeper Li then talked about a thing, there are all kinds of means of doing business, only what you can't think of, no one can't do it, no, just a month ago, a shop was opened next door to the boudoir, and it was also sold with wood carvings, which was different from the rest of the shops in Nantang Market, and what was sold in this house was all a copy of Chu Yiyao's shop.

Steward Li summed up how shameless the shop next door was: "What we sell, they will sell in a few days, the wood used is different from ours, the carvers are some worse than us, and the price is nearly half cheaper than ours." What makes Steward Li depressed is that business is still good!

Because there are many guests in the boudoir, it is impossible to tell who is sent by the shop next door, in line with the concept of rather lack than indiscriminate, many of the carvings in the boudoir are limited, and a certain number of carvings are sold out and gone, even if they sell well, they will not enter again, and the scarcity is expensive, so the price can be high.

Next door so that, this thing is more than able to sweep the street, one person, good quality and low price, some people buy it and use it badly, but also find the wrong place to find the boudoir to find things, a few times down Li shopkeeper went to the next door to beg to talk, people just one meaning, the guest went wrong, they can't help it.

"There are also rumors that the Machi-Lotus House next door is the branch of our boudoir." Shopkeeper Li was angry, and when he met such a scoundrel peer, it was a bitter tear.

"Isn't everything we sell registered, and then set up a ticket, what the guest bought, what the thing is, what the price, when it was bought, we register one, and the other to the guest, if there is a problem, let him come with that ticket, all right, you can exchange it or pay for it, without that ticket, and you can't say why, you don't have to pay attention." Chu Yiyao thought for a while and said to Shopkeeper Li, "Use special paper, it's better, the size of the cut is the same, and the literate person is responsible for registration, and the handwriting must be the same." โ€

Shopkeeper Li thought that this was a good idea, and hurriedly told the man to do it.

Chu Yiyao walked out of the boudoir and turned around to see that the three words of the shop, the town lotus hall next door, were written on the cloth and hung on the side of the shop, and there were many guests coming in and out.

People with red eyes can't think of anything, but how long can this last, if the quality is the same, you can still compete, and you are reluctant to spend money, and in the end you don't have to close the door.

Chu Yiyao didn't bother to pay attention, and was about to get into the carriage to go to the seasoning shop, when two people walked out of the alley between the two shops, and the one headed by was the second aunt who had not been seen for a long time, Xiao.

When Xiao Shi saw Chu Yiyao, he was stunned at first, a flash of panic flashed in his eyes, and he quickly smiled at Chu Yiyao, "Yiyao, why are you here." โ€

"This is my shop, but you, second aunt, what are you doing in this alley." Chu Yiyao's face was clear, if she remembered correctly, there was a dead end in this alley.

The author has something to say: It's so fast, it's 350,000 at once, according to Ryoko's convention, about 500,000 is almost the end, o(โ•ฏโ–กโ•ฐ)o, this book is a more tangled book written by Ryoko, the data of the pit is not good, or brave v, so up and down hanging, Ryoko can still double change, I admire my own ~~ haha
