Chapter 69: The Unexpected Guest
In the first few days of the new year, according to the customs of pear, the Xue family's shops were closed for a few days, and the family rarely had a leisure.
It's just that it's bitter cold in winter, so it's not suitable to go out. Aunt Liu is surrounded by Xiaobao, but she is busy enough. The rest of the people are used to being busy on weekdays, and when they are free, they are really a little lonely. I couldn't help but think of the chess and card culture of the previous life, so I found some wooden blocks, polished them flat, and carved the pattern, so that an original mahjong was freshly baked.
The family was very interested in coming up with such a new gadget. It's just that they've seen the whimsy of the pawnshop, the bank, and the trading house as early as the beginning, and now they don't ask her how she could have such a strange game in her head.
I just wanted to find something for my family to have a pastime, but I never thought that these people were addicted to playing, and even stayed up all night for several days. The wind that has been reported every day has risen, and when I saw this fresh plaything, I admired it even more. He had already seen the gameplay on the side, and he happened to be a random substitute. Whoever is tired of playing, or who wants to solve the three emergencies, he can fill the gap at any time.
Seeing that the family was so happy, I was so happy, I thought I would just open a mahjong parlor again, and then I was afraid that this pear man would go crazy again?
Xue'er has been reporting every day these days, and it is difficult for this beast to be quite spiritual, except for Sense, no one can get close. Feng Qi has been yearning for it since he knew that there was such a big eagle, but he tried his best to please him, but he never won the favor of Xue'er.
Ying Hao's letter is long or short, but it does not fall for a day, presumably the two countries have taken advantage of the New Year to truce for a few days. After the incident in the campfire, the two seem to have really let go of the mustard in their hearts, and now they are just like old friends for many years, through letters you come and go, warm and affectionate, and talk happily.
After all, he seemed to be afraid of Ran Ran's embarrassment, and he also knew the disgust in Ran's heart, and Ying Hao didn't mention the gains and losses and thrills on the battlefield. Ran just lightly told him to be careful in everything and cherish it. She knew in her heart that a character like Ying Hao, who was guarding the battlefield, always couldn't bear loneliness, but she only hoped that the sword would have eyes.
Ying Hao at that end should understand her mind.
Recalling all the things he got along with Ying Hao, this person is really a good couple, except for being a little overbearing. If it is in modern times, it is definitely the fifth level of the diamond king. It's a pity......
Huan'er has not heard from her in the past few days, and she is afraid that she has been stumped by something. I took two letters to the past, but there was no reply, and my heart was a little empty.
is suffering from some gains and losses, and I can't help but laugh at myself, when did I become so noble? I was probably spoiled by those two.
The mahjong in Xiu'e Fang is only a few days old, but none of Xue Rong is a plaything, on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the Xue family's shops are all open early in the morning, and everyone goes to perform their duties.
The new emperor of Panli is an anxious son, and on the morning of the sixth day of the new year, someone from the palace came to discuss various matters with Zhiran. As soon as the signboard of the imperial merchant was hung, the name of the Xue family trading house became even more popular all over the capital. Others are just that, the businessmen in this imperial city are a little red-eyed, and they only hate why this great good thing didn't fall on their heads.
It's just that the benefits of the emperor are so easy to obtain? Someone from the palace said that in order to be sympathetic, the emperor specially sent twelve respected and experienced imperial businessmen to assist, that is to say, from procurement, sales, accounting, treasury management and even publicity personnel.
I thought to myself, compassion is fake, and it is true to supervise myself. It's no wonder that with such a large sum of silver, how could Emperor Fanli casually hand it over to a foreign merchant? How many people in this world, like the pear woman I met at the pomegranate flower party, put the silver into their hands with a big grin, and since then they have ignored it, waiting for the dividends with peace of mind?
It's just that he has no intention of swallowing the emperor's silver anyway, and now is the time to employ people, with the help of these veteran imperial businessmen, I am afraid that the trade line will be more smooth.
Prepare for the preparation, and know in my heart that it will take some time for my trade to really take shape. Although there is now the support of the imperial power of the Three Kingdoms, there are many fewer obstacles, but the ancient means of transportation are backward, and there is no lack of difficult and dangerous sections on the way, and it will take a lot of time to pass on the road. She hoped that the emperor in the deep palace should not be so anxious about the future dividends.
In addition to the nobles recruited by the wind, there is an endless stream of merchants who come to book materials from other countries, and the whole family thinks that it is not bad to push the boat and be a "wholesaler", so that the local merchants in Panpear can also get a piece of the pie, and they also save the project of paving the stall.
After the imperial banquet in the palace, the identity of the boss has been revealed, and now he no longer avoids it, and he has to go to various shops from time to time to inspect it. In the past, opening a pawnshop and opening a money bank was just a whim, and I also wanted to find a way to make money for my family. Now with the pressure of the three royal mountains, it is difficult to dare not be careful.
It's just that when I go out now, I'm not as comfortable as before. Although the news of this era did not spread as quickly as in the previous life, the effect of word of mouth could not be ignored. In the past few days, almost every household in the imperial city has heard that the boss of the Xue family's trading house is actually a teenage girl, who is just a young girl, but she is still a fairy-like figure, plus a business talent, even the monarch has a little admiration.
In short, the topic of clarity has been spread more and more divinely. Who wouldn't want to see such a fresh character? Therefore, there is always a figure of good deeds in front of the Xue family's shops, and these idlers who have nothing to do are wandering around in front of the shop, hoping for the opportunity to meet Ran. They thought to themselves, there is no need to talk to them, they can take a look, and go back to have a magical time in front of their neighbors, relatives and friends.
There are really a few lucky ones who really looked at it and entered the shop. Although no one has introduced Ran's identity, but looking at the figure that has fallen into the world, who else can it be if it is not Boss Xue?
Knowing that she was indifferent to this unprecedented wind of worship, she knew that the pear people were just fresh for a few days, and they would eventually disperse this enthusiasm. I'm just a businessman, and I rarely interact with people, so why do you want to be sought after?
On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Ran was talking to Zi Jin about the operation of several shops in Luanguo, but he heard a guy come in and report that a special guest had come. Looking at the cunning look in the eyes of the workman, he felt a little curious in his heart, but he didn't know who was visiting?
A green figure in the reception room, looking at it from afar, you can feel infinitely enchanting, full of charm, no wonder the young man has such an expression. This person is the top Qinglou woman in the capital who has been seen at the royal banquet. It's just that she knows that she has never known her in her life, but why did this Qinglou woman find her head?
"I came to visit rashly, I hope Miss will forgive me!" It's still a sweet and greasy voice, but the laughter is also delicate.
She knew that this ancient Qinglou woman was different from modern times, most of them were miserable and uncontrollable, so she was polite in her mouth.
After a few words of greeting, Yan Hong went straight in.
"Yan Hong has a reluctant request, can you ask Miss to redeem herself for me?" There is no lack of flattery in her smile, but in the end, she is straightforward and outspoken, which makes Ran appreciate it a little.
"Isn't Miss joking with Ran? With the reputation of the young lady, if you really want to be good, I am afraid that there is an endless stream of people who are willing to redeem the young lady, right? I became more and more puzzled in my heart, why did this irrelevant woman entangle herself?
Yan Hong twisted the Juanpa in her hand, opened her eyes, bit her lip and said, "Who wants those stinky men to redeem me?" She looked at it, and there was a bit of arrogance in her words: "I have long looked down on the life of an ordinary woman, and I know that I have no qualifications for a husband and children." The most important thing is, which stinky man in the country of Panpear is worthy of my life? The most affectionate people in the world are those stinky men, who are still spending money with you today, and I don't know where to go tomorrow! ”
Hearing this, I felt fresh. After all, this ancient society was still a pure patriarchal society, and most women still depended on men for their livelihood, but I don't know why she has such a free and easy heart? It's because she's been in the Fengyue place for a long time, and she's seen a lot of human nature and hypocrisy, so she can be so extreme.
Yan Hong's gestures are infinite, but she does not hide the appreciation and envy in her eyes.
Although she is in the Qinglou, she has won the first place in the end, and she is used to being praised by literati and dignitaries, and even the new emperor of Panli has recently rewarded a little face, and she is a little arrogant. And she has no yearning for the short life of the people in her parents, so she only feels a little disdainful when she sees the happy wives who broke into the Qinglou and overturned the vinegar jar on weekdays.
But now that I see it, I see it, looking at her indifferent and lazy smile, as well as the dusty face that is completely different from herself, and thinking of the miracle of the business sea created by her, I unconsciously feel ashamed.
Yan Hong still had a faint look when she saw it, and she didn't answer her words, but she was a little anxious, and there was a little more willingness in her tone: "Miss Trouble redeemed me for me, because Yan Hong has already heard that Miss is talented, and she has been yearning for a long time." To tell you the truth, the redeemed silver Yanhong has already saved enough, and Miss Lao is not breaking the bank, but I just want to trouble Miss to go for me. She paused slightly, and then said: "Second, if Yan Hong really wants to go out of that Fengyue place, and she is unwilling to commit to a man, she will have to make a living on her own." At that time, I hope that the young lady can enjoy a bite of rice! ”
Now that he has understood Yanhong's intention, it is false to ask for redemption for herself, and it is true that she wants to find a job. But in the end, I felt that this woman was a little aggressive. After all, the two have never known each other, what is their position, not only to redeem themselves, but also to seek a job for them? I'm afraid this Yan Hong thinks too highly of herself.
This woman is not simple!
But in the end, being asked to the door is not too difficult, and it is always difficult to shirk. It's just that he didn't show too much enthusiasm, he just agreed lukewarmly, but he didn't promise a specific day, so he ordered the guy to send off the guest.
When Yan Hong went out, she happened to meet Feng Qi who was looking for it. Looking at the willow-like figure of Yan Hong's breeze, Feng Qi's face was a little unkind, and when he saw it, he asked Yan Hong's reason, and frowned tightly, and only persuaded Ran Shao to interact with a woman in a green house like Yan Hong.
Seeing the wind and the look, it was a little surprising, after all, this ancient is not as good as the modern one, and it is common for the children of rich families to linger in Fengyue places, but I don't know why the wind that has always been free and uninhibited is so tired and impatient with this Qinglou woman alone?
