Song Chunniang came out of the spring garden, walking briskly with her head down, and Song Xianiang's words kept playing back in her mind, disturbing her a little upset, and Aunt Ruan and Song Qiuniang didn't notice it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Eldest sister is early, are you going to Buzhuang early in the morning?" Song Qiuniang said softly and glutinously, with obvious admiration in her eyes.

"En," Song Chunniang responded. Except for Xia Xiaoyou, the other two sisters didn't have the urge to let her make a long story.

"Has the eldest sister had breakfast? My aunt and I had dinner with my grandmother and talked for a long time before we came out. Grandmother still hasn't seen her eldest sister in a while. ”

Song Qiuniang didn't see Song Chunniang's impatience, but she just felt that this eldest sister often saw the dragon without seeing the end, and finally saw each other, so she couldn't help but pestering her to say a few more words.

However, Song Chunniang was already in a bad mood, and she wanted to rush to a cloth village in Yuncheng to take stock of the warehouse, and casually replied, "Go back and find time to ask your grandmother for peace", and then turned sideways and walked away.

Song Qiuniang stared blankly at the direction where Song Chunniang was gone, and muttered to herself: "When will I be as outstanding as my eldest sister?" ”

Aunt Ruan didn't care, and pulled Song Qiuniang's hand and persuaded: "What's so good about the eldest lady like this?" showed up early, and the reputation or something was long gone. If you can still be a stove keeper like before, now that you have a little master, you can only get married, how can you do business, what's the use? Fortunately, the Wen family didn't dislike her, and still kept the marriage contract, otherwise it would be difficult to find an in-law. ”

Song Qiuniang has admired her eldest sister since she was a child, where can she listen to Aunt Ruan's words, but she complains for Song Chunniang: "What does Auntie know." can be outstanding in appearance like the eldest sister, and she can take charge of herself is really a heroine among women. How many men are not as good as her. ”

Aunt Ruan couldn't tolerate Song Qiuniang's wrong positioning, and took out a bitter posture to correct her concept: "You, you're really stubborn." No matter how capable a woman is, she has to marry a woman, find a good in-law, and teach her husband and children is the ultimate destination. You should learn more about the second lady, dress up more, and be filial in front of the old lady and the old lady, and the elders in the family will pick a good family for you when they think of you. ”

When mentioning family affairs in broad daylight, Song Qiuniang was so ashamed that she hurriedly covered Aunt Ruan's mouth: "If my aunt really cares about my reputation, she shouldn't be so open-mouthed and closed-mouthed." Shame me on. ”

Aunt Ruan broke Song Qiuniang's hand, "Third Miss still knows that reputation is important?" That's definitely not going to be able to learn from the eldest lady. You don't have a good background, if you don't have a reputation, this life will be over. ”

Song Chunniang took three steps and two steps to the second gate, got into the carriage and rushed to the semicolon east of Yuncheng, Aunt Ruan's mother and daughter naturally didn't know about it.

The shopkeeper of the semicolon was already waiting, and when Song Chunniang got out of the carriage, she saddled up and waited to enter the house.

Song Chunniang's courtesy to the shopkeeper was only faint, and she took the account books and went to the treasury to take inventory.

Silk, weaving, brocade, cotton......

Song Chunniang silently counted the number, and the shopkeeper didn't dare to come out with the atmosphere next to her.

"Why is this Shu brocade missing so much? The account only registered the sale of 50 horses, but the actual delivery of 120 horses, where did the poor 70 horses go? ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly replied: "I was about to report this matter to you, a few days ago, a guest from the Western Regions came and asked for a hundred Shu brocade in one go." However, they didn't have the silver tickets that were common to Yuncheng in their hands, and the cash was not enough, so they kept the account. Therefore, only thirty horses were registered in the account, and the remaining seventy horses had not been recorded. ”

I bought a hundred horses of Shu brocade in one go, what a big appetite. But no matter how big your appetite is, without the support of money, it won't be a high-eyed master who is low-paying, right?

Song Chunniang frowned unconsciously, "Shopkeeper Wu, you are also the old man of our cloth village." You should also know that unless we are regular customers, we are not allowed to take credit. These seventy horses of Shu brocade, even according to the purchase price, must have two hundred and eighty taels, such a large amount, when the time comes, can you afford to pay if the people run away? ”

"Miss, where do you dare to forget the rules. It's just that Helian Gongzi from the Western Regions bet on a treasure, and the small one was taken to the pawn shop for identification, which is a natural pure opal, as big as a pigeon egg, and he bet on five, according to the price, it is more than enough to reach the seventy Shu brocade, otherwise the small ones would not dare to send them so many goods privately. ”

"Oh?" Song Chunniang came to the interest, and took an opal the size of a pigeon's egg to buy Shu brocade, a typical watermelon for sesame seeds, these merchants in the Western Regions are interesting. "When will they deliver the rest of the money? With such a big deal, I think I'm going to make a big deal, and if they come, I'll have to meet for a while. ”

After winning the first approval of the master's family, Shopkeeper Wu breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly patted his chest and promised: "That's certain." Even if you don't say it, I have to invite the master and the eldest lady to come over. It's a pity that such a wealthy customer doesn't pull to do a few more businesses. I heard that Helian is a big surname in the Western Regions, so he is not a nobleman. ”

Song Chunniang was noncommittal, before she met people in person, many conclusions could not be made, otherwise preconceived ideas would easily affect the judgment in the later stage.

"Okay, then you pay more attention and notify me immediately if there is news. If you are really a big customer, you will have the benefit of a semicolon. ”

"Yes." Shopkeeper Wu happily responded.

Song Chunniang pondered about the matter of the merchants in the Western Regions, and still specially informed Master Song.

Master Song listened to the ins and outs, and his eyes flashed, "Chun'er, do you know how our Song family started?" ”

Song Chunniang nodded: "I have listened to your father since I was a child, and I naturally remember it in my heart." ”

"I'll tell you the story, but you don't know the identity of that Western Regions nobleman, right?" Master Song glanced at his eldest daughter, who was listening carefully, and continued: "That nobleman is from the Helian family. ”

Song Chunniang raised her eyebrows, so coincidental?

"The Helian family is the largest family in the Western Regions. The royal family of the Western Regions is Helian. That nobleman cooperated with your grandfather for a long time, but then the civil strife in the Western Regions and the Helian clan were ousted from the throne, and they never came back again. Your grandfather had guessed that the nobleman could not have been implicated and lost his life. It's just that the Western Regions are far away, and there is no way to verify it, and doing business is about fate, and if you can't do it, you don't force it, so you just give up. ”

Song Chunniang really heard about Helian for the first time, but does this Helian have anything to do with Pi Helian? What does my father mean by such a tirade?

Song Chunniang looked at Master Song suspiciously, waiting to hear the following.

Unexpectedly, Master Song turned the page to a new topic: "Chun'er, what do you think of the matter of the merchants in the Western Regions this time?" ”

Song Chunniang thought for a while before replying: "It stands to reason that such a big guest should be very particular about dressing and pomp, and besides, if you buy so much cloth, no matter which inn you stay in Yuncheng, it should be very eye-catching." However, I surveyed all the inns, and there was not a single one of them that had stayed in a prominent merchant. That's a little weird. Unless, after they finished buying the cloth, they left Yuncheng. If that's the case, why do they have to buy Shu brocade from our cloth village? ”

Although the Song family's cloth village is one of the best in Yanzhou, it is not the only cloth village. Moreover, because of its fame, the fabrics sold by Songjia Cloth Village are not cheap, and the cooperative shops are also large garment shops.

Of course, if it's sold in bulk, that's a different story. There are also small people who buy some daily fabrics sporadically, but they are all solid people, and ordinary people can't afford the cloth of the Song family.

Therefore, in general, Songjia Buzhuang takes the middle and upper class route, and what he earns is a good reputation for high quality.

The merchants of the Western Regions deliberately went to the Song branch to buy cloth, either because they were too wealthy, or they came for the name.

If it's the former, it doesn't matter, if it's the latter, you have ulterior motives.

With just a little clue, Master Song thought of so much, and sure enough, Jiang was still old and spicy.

Master Song continued: "We don't know the situation in the Western Regions, why is there no news about the original Helian merchant, and it has been unresolved. If we are really implicated by the royal family, we have to be glad that we have not been dragged down. Now our Song family has a big business, and it is not bad for such a business. It's good to be able to cooperate, but if you can't cooperate, you don't force it, and be careful to sail the boat for ten thousand years. ”

Song Chunniang finally understood what Master Song meant, but the factor of the Song family's ancestor adventure was boiling in her body, and for the mysterious businessman of Helian Gongzi, Song Chunniang actually faintly looked forward to it, and it seemed that she had not encountered something so interesting to her for a long time.

Song Chunniang decided to get to know this Helian son for a while.

Master Song didn't know what Song Chunniang was thinking, and talked about another matter: "I heard the shopkeeper Zhang say, you ordered not to let the family withdraw the cloth at will in the cloth village?" ”

What did the shopkeeper Zhang say, where did the shopkeeper dare to do things that violated the yang and the yin? It must be Xia Xiaoyou's complaint.

However, even if Master Song doesn't mention it, Song Chunniang has to report.

"Yes, although the cloth village is opened by our Song family, it also raises hundreds of people. If we break the rules at will and let the next people see it, can we not follow the same example? When the time comes, Buzhuang will be in deficit everywhere, and he can't manage it. ”

Master Song also knew that his eldest daughter was reasonable, but he relented when he remembered the pitiful appearance of his second daughter: "The rules are naturally important, and your father is also very pleased to think about Buzhuang everywhere." However, you are a little impatient in handling Xia Niang's affairs. She is not as sensible as you, you can find her in private to explain the reasoning clearly, and let her not take an example. Why bother to show her face in front of outsiders, how bad it is to spread out. ”

Song Chunniang snorted coldly, Xia Xiaoyou is really powerful, his father has always been big in his children's private affairs, where would he think so much, it must be Xia Xiaoyou's analysis one by one, but Song Chunniang really didn't pay attention to such a small fight, and sorted out her thoughts and retorted: "Father's words are not right." Not only will I not ruin Xia Niang's reputation by doing this, but I will leave her a good name. Do you think, the second lady of the Song family will make a good impression when she takes the fabric and pays according to the price in her own cloth village? This is one of them. Second, the shopkeeper Zhang is an old man who has been in our cloth village for decades, and he has long been like a family, so why do outsiders say it? ”

If you talk about arguments, Master Song has long seen the power of his eldest daughter in the business field, and he has a cold and cold temperament on weekdays, and when he really encounters something he cares about, he will not back down and fight with reason. Forget it, it's just a little bit of a trivial matter for the children of the family, and it doesn't hurt. acquiesced to Song Chunniang's handling.
