The little pear blossom buns are spread out, and they are still sold early. She is smart and diligent, and soon takes care of the steamed bun shop prosperously. Xiao Lihua'er is very active, she not only sells steamed buns, but also sells braised pork with pancakes.

Looking at Xiao Lihua'er's energetic appearance every day, you can see that business is good.

Zhao Changqing also began to learn to read the accounts, Ling's delivery date is approaching, Mrs. Zhao is old, and the affairs of the family can still be managed, the shop account books and the like, I haven't been in contact for a few years, and now it is a little difficult. Ling simply asked Zhao Changqing to learn to watch, Ling said, "You are old now, and you are the eldest daughter of our family, you have followed Mr. Su since you were a child, and you have learned everything." You learn to read first, and if you don't understand something, then ask me. ”

These experiences were all lacking in Zhao Changqing's previous life, so she studied very seriously.

She is not a stupid person, she learns hard, and she enters the country very well. Ling said to her husband in private, "This person is really born to be smart and stupid, like our Changqing, he has been smart since he was a child, and he learns everything quickly." It's only been a few days, and you'll be able to get started. ”

Zhao Yong smiled, "That's good, the girl is older, and she is a helper." ”

Ling leaned on the big pillow and said, "No matter how good my daughter is, she is also a coquettish, and I feel uncomfortable now when I think of Sister Changqing Rong's daughter marrying out of Lu in the future." The daughter is used to being intimate, so I don't know what kind of daughter-in-law Changning will marry in the future. I'm content with half of our daughters' capabilities. ”

"Changning is only five years old, and you are also anxious." Zhao Yong felt funny in his heart, and said, "Anyway, the daughter-in-law is what you look at, and it's not like you can marry whatever you say." ”

Ling smiled, "I'll just say it, watching the children grow up day by day, and thinking cranky when they are idle at home." He asked Zhao Yong again if he was still in the guard.

Zhao Yong smiled, "We've got points everywhere, who will embarrass me?" ”

While the husband and wife were talking, Zheng Yushifu sent a post to send a post, and Zheng Miaoying asked Zhao Changqing to come over to speak. Ling answered for her daughter, said a few more words, and ordered Mrs. Bai to take some snacks and send the little girl away.

Zhao Yong read the post and asked, "Why only invite Changqing?" ”

Ling said, "Maybe Ah Rong is too young to say that he can go into pieces." Miss Chu often only invites Changqing. ”

Zhao Yong didn't think much about it.

After dinner, Ling told Zhao Changqing about Zheng Miaoying inviting her over to play, Zhao Changqing smiled, "It's just that there is nothing to do tomorrow, and I haven't seen Sister Zheng for some days." ”

Zhao Rong was silent and didn't speak, wondering in her heart that she didn't know what means Zhao Changqing used, and many people only invited Zhao Changqing. She didn't offend them.

Zhao Changqing didn't pay attention to Zhao Rong, who looked pensive, and after returning to the house, he instructed Yongfu to take out the clothes she was going to wear the next day and iron them in advance, and took Yongfu to Zheng's house the next day. She and Zheng Miaoying have not known each other for a long time, but they are very temperamental, and occasionally they will exchange experiences when they make snacks with each other.

Moreover, what Zhao Changqing admires most is the Zheng family's family style, and only by looking at the Zheng family can he know what a scholarly family is. The Zheng family is not wealthy, but their children's education is extremely good, and the Zheng family brothers and sisters are elegant and pragmatic people, and they are never ashamed of their poverty.

When she went to Zheng's house, Zhao Changqing never dressed up gorgeously, she wore a light emerald shirt on her upper body, □ a white silk long skirt, a jade pendant with light emerald silk thread hanging around her waist, and a hairpin of silk flowers on her head. Now that it is summer, Zhao Changqing's body is quite refreshing.

Zheng Miaoying greeted each other under the apricot shade in the atrium, the two looked at each other and smiled, Zhao Changqing smiled and quipped, "My sister came to me, what did you do to eat?" ”

Zheng Miaoying took Zhao Changqing's hand and smiled, "Naturally, there is something delicious, and this time I also have something to ask." First go to my grandmother and mother, they also think of you. "Zhao Changqing often comes and goes, her overall quality is very good, Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Zheng like Zhao Changqing very much.

The two went to see the elders first, and after saying a few words, Zheng Miaoying invited Zhao Changqing to her room, Zheng Miaojia was also there, and there was also a son born in the plane. This boy looked about the same age as Zheng Miaojia, or slightly older, and was taller than Zheng Miaojia when he stood up. Originally, Zhao Changqing felt that Zheng Miaojia's appearance was already unique, and he didn't want this son to be so handsome, so he didn't let Zheng Miaoxi at all.

Zheng Miaojia introduced, "This is the brother from the imperial capital, Li Rui, Brother Li." He also introduced Zhao Changqing to Li Rui.

Zhao Changqing smiled and saluted, "Young Master Li." ”

"Miss Zhao." Li Rui returned the salute.

Yahuan brought herbal tea, and there was a plate of white apricots the size of a child's fist on the table, faintly exuding a fruity fragrance. Zhao Changqing took a sip of herbal tea and said with a smile, "Sister Zheng just said that she had something to ask, didn't Li Gongzi ask me something?" ”

When Li Rui first came to the border city, he also felt that the people here were open, and it was common for girls to go to the street casually. However, it was the first time I had dealt with a girl in a border city, and I saw that Zhao Changqing spoke cheerfully, not like those ladies in the imperial capital, and his behavior was elegant and free, which was quite likable. I couldn't help laughing, "I came to the border city from the imperial capital and wanted to do some small business, but after all, I didn't know the place well, so I went to the uncle of the Zheng family first." I heard Miaojia say, your family has some business dealings with Beiban, I don't know if you can give me some advice? There was a little suspense in his heart, he thought that Zhao Changqing had to be at least fifteen or sixteen years old, and he didn't want to be so young. Fortunately, Li Rui didn't plan to get any special help from Zhao Changqing, he just needed a border city person to be a guide or something, otherwise, his eyes would be dark, and this business would be really difficult to carry out. Before coming, Song Rong wrote a letter asking him to take Zheng Bo with him, and Li Rui has been living in Zhao's house since he came, and his subordinates rented another yard.

Zhao Changqing thought for a while and asked, "What business does Gongzi Li want to do?" ”

Li Rui said, "I have also walked around the border city these days, in fact, Beiban is located in the grassland, they are good at herding horses and sheep, and they are not good at working and weaving. From food to clothing, none of the Northern Barbarians did not rely on the border cities. The prosperity of the border city does not let Huaiyang, all from the trade with the Northern Barbarians. There are four things in the world, food, clothing, shelter and transportation, and large-scale trade in food is prohibited, and I don't have that ambition, so I want to do some clothing business. Sell the materials here to the Beiban, and then exchange the furs from the Beiban to bring them to the imperial capital for sale, which is also profitable. ”

Zhao Changqing didn't know if Li Rui had inquired about her details in advance, and said with a smile, "If you say anything else, I don't know very well, I happen to have a clothing shop at home." Since Childe is far from the imperial capital to the border city, I don't need to say much about business, if Childe is willing, I will introduce my shopkeeper to Childe. "Even if Zhao Changqing doesn't know many people, but when he looks at Li Rui's appearance and bearing, he doesn't look like a businessman. Moreover, Zheng Miaojia introduced that he was a friend of the family of world friends, if Zhao Changqing expected it to be good, Li Ruiding was born in the family of the official eunuch, and it must be a scholarly family at best.

Zhao Changqing was so refreshing, Li Rui smiled, "Then there is Miss Lao." ”

"A little thing." Zhao Changqing said, "I listened to Li Gongzi's words, do you want to lead the caravan to trade in the territory of the Northern Barbarians?" ”

Li Rui smiled indifferently, "I have this plan." ”

Zhao Changqing said, "I heard that the Northern Barbarians are very vast, and the people there live together, and each tribe lives in a different place. Our people here go to Beiban to do business, and generally there are many merchants who form a caravan together, so that they enter Beiban together and trade in the remote city of Beiban. It's best for Childe to bring more guards, Yaocheng is very chaotic, and murder and goods happen from time to time. ”

Zheng Miaojia smiled, "You really know a little bit about it." "His family has just come to the border city, Zheng Miaojia knows some people, and the friendship is still shallow, so it is not appropriate to rashly inquire about other people's business. As far as Li Rui is concerned, he carries the name of Song Rong [the character in "The Story of a Thousand Gold"] on his body, but he doesn't want to use Song Rong's favor. It is still Zheng Miaoying who mentioned Zhao Changqing, one of the most important points is that the Zhao family is average, and Zhao Changqing is not bad, if the Zhao family refuses to help, it is not very embarrassing. I don't want to, Zhao Changqing is so refreshing, it's really an unexpected joy.

"That's it." Zhao Changqing smiled, "I grew up in a border city." Like Li Gongzi, if he goes to Beiban to trade, in addition to the goods, he must also find an interpreter who understands the dialect of the border city. ”

Zheng Miaojia said, "You can just introduce a few to Arrow." ”

"It's not difficult to find an interpreter, there are a lot of people in the border cities who do this, and most of them also double as guides." Zhao Changqing smiled, "The Beiban merchants who came to my house to purchase materials are still in the border city, Li Gongzi will go and talk to my shopkeeper first, and when you feel that it is appropriate, I will talk to the shopkeeper, and it doesn't hurt to introduce you to each other." ”

Li Rui was overjoyed and said with a smile, "Miss Zhao helped me like this, I don't know how to thank you." ”

"You are Brother Zheng's friend, Zheng Yushi has an official reputation, although I am not familiar with you, I am familiar with Brother Zheng and Sister Zheng. You just came to the border city, and all I can help with is a small matter, so don't be polite. Zhao Changqing told him calmly. She's not a big fool, wouldn't she be so helpful to anyone who comes? Of course, it also depends on the person.

Zhao Changqing is very good at talking, Zheng Miaojia suddenly smiled evilly, "Sister Qing even introduced her own guests to Arrow, aren't you afraid that Arrow will rob your business?" ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "There is a lot of business in the world, where is it done by one person?" My family is just a small shop, and the Northern Barbarian merchants who come and go with my family must have also been to other people's shops, and finally cooperate with my family, so it can be seen that my family's business is suitable for them, what is there to fear? ”

"Besides, Li Gongzi came from the imperial capital thousands of miles away, and he must want to do big business. I'll sell a good job with Mr. Li now, and Mr. Li will make a fortune in the future, but don't forget to carry my family's small business. ”

Li Rui said with a smile, "Miss Zhao is such a bright person, if Li does business, he should cooperate with Miss Zhao first." The key to doing business is to find the right person, as long as you find the right person, it is a matter of time before you make money. I came from the imperial capital, and when I arrived in the border city, it really broadened my horizons, isn't it that the girls in the border city are as capable as Miss Zhao? "I only thought that Zhao Changqing was a little girl before, but I don't want to, this girl is quite knowledgeable.

Zhao Changqing smiled, "What kind of ability am I, I don't understand business matters, it's just that I trust Li Gongzi's character and help me a little." ”

Li Rui was very generous, and invited Zhao Changqing and the Zheng family to have a big meal at noon, and in the evening Zhao Changqing told Zhao Yong of the Ling family about Li Rui, "The son from the imperial capital also wants to do the silk and satin material business." Brother Zheng introduced it to me, I thought, tomorrow I will ask Shopkeeper Feng to take Gongzi Li around, he just came to the border city, and he is not very familiar. ”

Ling asked, "If you want to buy materials in our house, can't you?" This is not right, even if you buy materials, you should go to Jiangnan. Didn't he also want to trade with the Northern Barbarians? ”

"Li Gongzi is thinking of going to Yaocheng to do business, which is different from our family's business." Zhao Changqing knew what the Ling clan was worried about, and said with a smile, "Mother, don't worry." Zheng Yushi is a person of great character, Li Gongzi is the son of his family's family, and his temperament is not worse than Brother Zheng's, I don't think he was born in an official family, at least he is also a scholar? He came from thousands of miles away, doing big business, unlike a small shop like ours, and he would never rob our business. ”

Ling didn't believe it, and asked, "If you have such a good background, what are you doing in business, it's hard work, why don't you go to the merit test?" Don't fool anyone. ”

Zhao Changqing said, "Big families are different from people like us, you look at the ancestors' family, how can outsiders know about the Tao?" This Li Gongzi is familiar with the Zheng family, at least he is not a liar. Besides, what's wrong with doing business, the ancestors' family doesn't know how much business there is, otherwise, just by being an official or the income in the Zhuangzi, where is it enough to spend? I feel that the Zheng family is reliable, and they will never trap us. Let's just help, if one day Li Gongzi is standing in the border city, there is no time for cooperation, and there is nothing wrong with multiple ways. ”

What Ling said to Zhao Changqing was a little moved, but Zhao Yong was direct and said, "Zheng Yushi just arrived in the border city at the end of last year, and he is not familiar with the place, otherwise he would not have found you." If you can help, you can help, and you can do business by your ability, and you don't have to be afraid of being robbed. ”

The husband and daughter all said so, and Ling simply let go, "Okay, then you can do it." Anyway, it was introduced to you by the son of the imperial historian, since Zheng Gongzi opened his mouth, help a hand, help a hand, people believe in you. ”

Zhao Changqing smiled.
