Chapter 115: Guilt

On the way to Zuixianlou, Ye Jinhui inadvertently lifted the curtain of the carriage and suddenly found that there were two more cloth shops at the corner of the street. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Ye Jinhui remembered that these two fabric shops were the property of the Yao family before, since Yao Zheng secretly calculated the old man Ye, the Ye family's building refused to help the Yao family carry cloth, how could there be a cloth shop?

"I saw in a trance that the fabric in the shop next to me was very beautiful, if my sister wasn't very hungry, how about we go first and have a look?" Ye Jinhui said.

Looking at her smiling little face, Liu Meili couldn't say no even if she was hungry, and joked with her affectionately: "Senior sister is only a little hungry, just wait for me to eat more good food and make up for it." ”

Ye Jinhui nodded briskly, "Follow the teachings of my senior sister." ”

Liu Meili took Ye Jinhui's hand, "Let's go." ”

Ye Jinhui opened his own fabric shop, but he had to go to other stores to have a look, to put it bluntly, it was to observe the enemy's situation, as a senior sister, of course, she had to help the little junior sister.

If people know that Ye Jinhui has pretended to be a customer and secretly observes her peers, it is not a good thing for her, "Boss, how can this muslin be sold?" Liu Meili said one step ahead of Ye Jinhui.

Ye Jinhui immediately understood what Liu Meili meant, accepted her kindness, and did not speak, just listened to Liu Meili and the shop's inquiry.

When the shopkeeper saw that there were customers coming to the door, they were very attentive, "This muslin girls are the best to wear." But the price was not quoted.

Liu Meili picked up another piece of Hangzhou silk and said, "How to sell this?" ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly smiled: "This girl, your vision is really good, this is the goods that only arrived today, this is the most fashionable material in Hangzhou, because the small shop is newly opened, there is a special discount, eighteen taels of silver a horse." ”

Ye Jinhui Hangzhou silk sold to the Zhang family's Ruyi Fang, but it is only eleven taels of silver, and the selling price of Ruyi Fang is sixteen, if the clothes are tailored, one or two silver will be charged less.

I didn't expect the price of this new store to be so high.

Liu Meili: "This is too high, right?" Can it be less? ”

The shopkeeper smiled: "I can see at a glance that the girl is a person who knows the goods, and must recognize this is Hangzhou silk, a famous product in all the silks, look at how bright the color is, how delicate the embroidery is, even the butterfly thinks it is real, and it falls directly on it. ”

The shopkeeper was a woman who was nearly thirty years old, and she happened to be wearing a spring shirt made of Hangzhou silk at this time.

"Ten taels and one horses, I'll buy ten." Liu Meili didn't like this woman, and deliberately bargained fiercely.

The woman frowned, and her disgust flashed, if you sincerely asked, "Seventeen taels of silver a horse." ”

Liu Meili shook her head, "Is that all there are to you?" Is there anything else? If it's too much, can it be cheaper? ”

The woman's disgust was even stronger, "I don't think the girl is sincere enough to buy it, right?" We bought this Hangzhou silk for ten taels of silver a horse, and it would take several months to pull it back in a carriage from such a distance, not to mention other expenses, no matter how much you want, it was this price. If you don't believe it, just take a boat to Hangzhou and inquire. ”

Ye Jinhui hurriedly pulled Liu Meili, "Let's go, I'm so hungry." "If you don't leave, I'm afraid that this woman will drive people away directly with a broom.

Liu Meili followed Ye Jinhui and got into the carriage before whispering: "I remember that your Hangzhou silk is only eleven?" All her fabrics were sold to the Zhang family, and Liu Meili had read the account books as a shareholder.

Ye Jinhui nodded, "Senior sister has a really good memory. ”

Liu Meili snorted coldly, "Then she must have told a lie!" ”

Ye Jinhui was surprised: "How does Senior Sister know?" ”

Liu Meili: "It's spring now, and all the cloth villages are harvesting a lot of cocoons, and there will definitely be a gap in funds, which are often sold at a low price in order to quickly return the funds." Her Hangzhou silk was delayed on the road for a few months, it could only be last year's old goods, and merchants generally sell it cheaply, how could it be so expensive? I'm afraid that the price of your new material is two or three taels lower than her, right? ”

Ye Jinhui: "Senior sister's expectation is good, that's right, seven taels and a half horses were brought back, but last year it seemed to be nine taels, but fortunately, the fourth prince of Chu helped me get three thousand horses on credit, so it was reduced to eight taels and a half." ”

Liu Meili nodded, "That's it, there was a drought in the south of the Yangtze River last year, and cocoons are naturally more expensive." ”

"How did Senior Sister know that there was a drought in Jiangnan?"

"Quanzhou had a ship division in the previous dynasty, you always know, right? Although it has been banned now, there are still many merchant ships coming and going from the south to the north. ”

Ye Jinhui smiled bitterly, "If I am against my senior sister, I'm afraid I won't have a way to live at all." ”

Liu Meili pouted: "My family's conditions are poor, if I don't work hard, who will give your master and mother a pension in the future?" You're different again, you were born with a golden key, and doing this is just fun, so naturally you won't be as attentive as me. ”

Ye Jinhui was embarrassed, but he had to admit that his senior sister's words did have some truth.

What made her feel even more guilty was that she actually misunderstood that Chu Li secretly benefited from the three thousand horses of Hangzhou silk.

"Senior sister, don't envy me, I also have my troubles." If it weren't for the ugliness of the family, Ye Jinhui would almost have to complain to Liu Meili about the bitterness.

Liu Meili patted Ye Jinhui's hand and said: "Big families have big family troubles, but you don't have to worry too much, we must learn to be broad-minded in this life, not to embarrass others, nor to embarrass ourselves, and then we will live happily." Although you studied medicine, you have never been to the doctor, and you don't realize how much time is cherished for people who are seriously ill. ”

Ye Jinhui nodded heavily, "Senior sister is right, I will try to correct it in the future." ”

The carriage had stopped, and Liu Meili took Ye Jinhui's hand and led her into the Drunken Immortal Building.

"If you want a private room, let's have a few signature dishes first." Ye Jinhui commanded.

The guy bent down and made a gesture of please, "Two upstairs please." ”

Liu Meili whispered to Ye Jinhui: "Do you recognize that man?" How do you stare at us? ”

Ye Jinhui raised his head, just met Chu Li's unfathomable eyes, and pulled Liu Meili over, "Senior sister, let me introduce to you, this is Chu Li, the fourth son of Chu, and he is also the big owner of this Drunken Immortal Building." He said to Chu Li again: "This is my senior sister, Dr. Liu's daughter." ”

Chu Li nodded lightly, but his eyes fell on the hands of the two holding each other, "Your guest, you greet yourself." He turned his head to the side.

Ye Jinhui saw that Chu Li looked like he didn't care about people, so he had to smile at Liu Meili and said, "Then let's go to the private room." ”

When the two walked in, Liu Meili closed the door of the private room before saying, "The person you want to introduce can't be him, right?" ”

"How did Senior Sister guess?" Liu Meili is too powerful, right?

"In the eyes of you, Xiao Nizi, I am afraid that I think your senior sister is very good, but Chu Gongzi is different, he must be a well-born person, his father is in an important position, his mother is from a famous family, and his own ability is also good. How could such a person think about doing business? This is very strange. Liu Meili commented.

"Does that senior sister like him?"

"No!" Liu Meili said resolutely: "He is not my dish at all. Such a person is very serious, and he will not marry me. ”
