Chapter 22 Le Fang
Shen He was busy all day and didn't return home until dark. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Xiaocui had already prepared dinner and waited for her, and Shen He simply ate a little food and washed up and went to bed. But instead of going to sleep, she picked up a book on her desk and read it, which she had found in the book her father had left behind. No matter how tired Shen He is during the day, in addition to applying his face, he will read for a while at night. Some time ago, she had finished reading the "Book of Songs", and memorized a lot of beautiful words and phrases in it, and recently she became obsessed with "Lao Tzu", and she found that many sentences in the book made her feel quite touched and benefited a lot.
Lao Tzu advocates that all things go their course, which is just in line with Shen He's current understanding of things. Because of experiencing life and death, Shen He began to look down on many things and respected life more. Especially when she saw "Lao Tzu" in "Woe, blessing depends; Blessings, misfortunes, things or losses and benefits, or benefits and losses", I suddenly felt the same way in my heart, isn't what the book said exactly a portrayal of her experience during this time? She felt more and more that reading could benefit her a lot, so she insisted on this habit even more.
Yong A County Yanei. Chen Jingxuan and Yin Zheng are reporting to Lu Yu about the situation during this time. Lu Yu and Mo Feng hurried up, and it only took less than four days to arrive at Yong'an City. In the past few days, Lu Yu has been listening to the reports of the two in the back hall of the county government. Now, while listening to the reports of the two, Lu Yu looked at the sorted out copywriting files, and generally seemed to be very peaceful in the county recently, and there were basically no major affairs, but when he flipped through the case files of the merchants, Lu Yu carefully found that there were many new dance and music shops in the county recently, and then carefully checked the files, and most of them were opened by businessmen from Nanchu. He asked Chen Jingxuan and Yin Zheng, and the two suddenly remembered that there have been many beauties on the street recently, all of whom have deep eye sockets, high nose bridges, fragrant clothes, and swaying walking, all of them should be dancers from these music shops.
After listening to the descriptions of the two, Lu Yu knew that these women must be from a foreign land, but a small county town in Yong'an, suddenly added so many exotic music shops, which had to make him feel strange, could it be that there was something moving in Beiyan and Xiliang? Thinking of this, he had an idea in his heart, so he asked the two of them to go back to rest first, and called Moying in.
After Mo Ying came in, Lu Yu leaned into his ear and explained a few words, Mo Ying looked up in surprise and said, "Master, this is not appropriate, right?" Let's let me and Mo Feng go, what kind of identity are you, in case anything goes wrong......" Lu Yu raised his hand to interrupt him, "The two of you are not as familiar with the situation in Nan Chu as I am, the identity of Mo Feng's woman is inconvenient, and I don't know what the background is, it is more secure for me to go", Mo Ying knew that it was difficult to change the things that the master decided, and he didn't persuade him more, so he had to go out and make arrangements.
At night, Sajin Street is lit up and looks even more lively than during the day. The shops on both sides of the street are lit with lanterns, the candles in the shops are flickering, the road is full of pedestrians, the taverns are overcrowded, and the shopkeepers are so busy that their feet do not touch the ground; On the road, BMW incense cars carried the son of Jin Daiyu to enjoy the scenery and seek incense; There are occasional flute sounds in the distance, accompanied by the woman's tactful singing, mixed with the chatter and laughter of the visitors, it is really a prosperous scene.
Along the canal, two noble people dressed as people are walking slowly, only to see the two of them wearing brocade robes, holding a fan, handsome faces, and tall postures, attracting many young women to look back frequently, some bold even walked to the two of them and took the initiative to talk, but after seeing the sharp eyes of the two, they were frightened, did not dare to say more, raised their legs and ran away. These two are Lu Yu and Mo Ying in disguise. After listening to Chen Jingxuan and Yin Zheng's words, Lu Yu suddenly thought of the idea of exploring Nanchu Le Fang at night, so he asked Mo Ying to prepare his suits, and the two became noble sons. But no matter how you dress up, the intimidating eyes can't be hidden no matter what, and the two of them are also annoyed enough by these women, so they scared a few away.
In the Splendid Workshop, the lights were bright, and Shen He and Huang Ji'an were sorting out the accounts. After these busy days, the first batch of garments has been completed and delivered, and the shippers are very satisfied, and some have even made additional payments to book the next set of garments in advance. The two of them had a bite to eat in the store tonight, so they kept checking the accounts, and after checking a few times, they found that there were no discrepancies. The business has been booming in the past month, and it has led to the sale of jewelry, accessories, etc., and there are 3,000 taels of silver on the books alone, no wonder Huang Ji'an's mouth has become more and more closed recently, and Shen He is no longer surprised.
Huang Ji'an made a simple calculation, excluding the cost of materials and the wages of the tailor, he probably earned about two thousand taels of silver, which was the most earned month in the past year or so, and a large part of it was due to Shen He. He looked at Shen He carefully, this young woman had such a business mind, and she seemed to be much better looking than when he first saw her in Taihe Buzhuang, could it be his own delusion? This woman is really bringing more and more surprises to herself.
Shen He was still looking at the accounts carefully, thinking about which styles should be more popular with customers in the next step, and was thinking about it, when he suddenly looked up and saw Huang Ji looking at himself steadily, he couldn't help but smile: "Brother Ji An, am I better looking than your silver?" If you don't count how much money you have earned, how can you just look at me? Recently, as the two have become more and more familiar, Huang Ji'an has stopped Shen He from calling him Huang Shopkeeper, saying that it seems too raw, Shen He can't help it, so he starts to call him brother.
Hearing Shen He's words, Huang Ji'an came back to his senses and said busily: "Miss Shen, these days are really thanks to you, Jinxiufang and Taihe Cloth Village have not had such a prosperous business for a long time, I really don't know how to thank you", Shen He waved his hand, "Brother Ji'an doesn't have to be like this", and smiled slyly, "I didn't help for nothing, do you remember our cooperation?" Huang Ji'an patted his head and said with a smile: "Haha, I'm wrong, I should say that I want to thank you with silver", Shen He couldn't help laughing when he heard his words, and shouted, "It's exactly what I want."
Of course, Huang Ji'an remembered the initial agreement between the two, when Shen He proposed to give her 30% of the extra book income every month, and now this month's income is nearly 2,000 taels more than last month, that is to say, 600 taels will be given to her. Huang Ji'an actually doesn't care about this, although he is in business, but his nature is not heavy on money, yellow and white things are outside his body in his opinion, he attaches more importance to the affection of interacting with people, so in Yong'an City, he makes good friends, and often gives porridge to scatter wealth, and the people of Yong'an all praise him.
However, Huang Ji'an knew that Shen He loved money the most and regarded silver as very important, it stands to reason that he should be very disgusted with such a coppery woman, but he didn't know why, he couldn't get disgusted with Shen He, and he felt more and more in love. He didn't understand it, he just let it be.
