Back at the dyeing workshop, Jin Yuan helped Mrs. Jiang to the backyard, "Why hasn't the house even prepared a winter reunion dinner this year?" Look at the second lady and the fourth grandmother are wearing newly made brocade cloaks, and the economy of the house is ......"

"Jin Yuan, talk a lot!" Zhu Mama looked at Jin Yuan strangely, and Jin Yuan hurriedly swallowed the unspoken words. Mrs. Jiang patted Jin Yuan's chubby little hand, "Rong Rui is now imprisoned in prison, and Yonglu Lou has handed over another 200,000 taels of silver, it is not easy for everyone to get together and give a pillar of incense to their ancestors, and the reunion dinner is not tight." ”

"My father-in-law, mother-in-law, and father-in-law haven't eaten, so I must be hungry! I'm going to cook some rice porridge to eat it hot and warm my heart. Luo Yan pulled Jiu'er to the kitchen.

Rong Xi stopped her, "You can't do these things. Rong Xi didn't finish speaking, and Mama Zhu hurriedly said: "Yes, how can you let the third grandmother do it!" The slave and maid went to make some porridge and a few dishes with it. Zhu Mama said while glancing at the golden duck, and the two of them exited the house.

"Listening to the second lady's meaning, the uncle should come out soon. Although Yonglu Lou handed over 200,000 taels of silver, he bought a piece of land in the capital. It should be a joke to say that Yonglu Lou is poor! Luo Yan frowned, her apricot eyes full of doubt.

"The child also wonders why the second uncle suddenly has such a large amount of silver land!"

Rong Yongxi leaned back in his chair a little tiredly, "Don't speculate about other people's affairs in vain, let's still worry about our own affairs...... I'm worried about whether Jiao Niang is in the capital right now......"

"Rong Xi and Luo Yan didn't mean that! It's just that the second brother and the second sister-in-law were embarrassed in Qingfangyuan a while ago, you and I have seen it, the valuable things in Yonglu Building have been sold, and several properties in Beijing have also been realized and handed over, and now there is suddenly a lot of silver for no reason, is the second brother really greedy for a lot of silver? Mrs. Jiang spoke slowly. His face was full of suspicion.

Luo Yan waited for Mrs. Jiang to say this, after all, she was a junior, and it was not good to say that the elders. "The court pays Daliao a tribute every year, and it is only 100,000 taels of snowflake silver ......"

"Don't say it, I'm not afraid of crooked shadows. Let's just do our business, so I forgot to ask, how is your shop business in the capital? Is it worth it to go back and forth like this? Rong Yongxi rubbed his head, he was most afraid of mentioning gold and silver, but he couldn't get around the true meaning of life without money.

"Oh-" Luo Yan hesitated, not knowing what to say. Rong Xi answered. "The business of the East Fence Treasure Pavilion is good, a few kinds of jewelry and entwined jade bottles are very popular, I am afraid that I will let Master Feng and them hurry up to do more tricks!"

"That's good! Don't put all your mind into the shop. After all, it is still important to focus on academics, and it is the best policy to take the rank of scholar, and the businessman is the ninth rate after all. "Rong Yongxi's concept is still inferior, only reading is high. He himself doesn't like officialdom and interpersonal mixing. But I hope that Rong Xi can step into the officialdom and make achievements.

Rong Yongxi prayed secretly in front of the ancestral tablet tonight. Ask the ancestors of the Rong family to bless Jiao Niang and Rong Yu to shine on the lintel of the Rong family, and live up to the glory of the ancestors......

In the Rong family, only Rong Yonglu survived to the fifth grade in his generation, and now he has been dismissed from the official, and Rong Yongfu has always been from the sixth grade. Seeing that I am getting older, I have no future...... Outsiders say that the Rong family is a big family in Yangzhou, but they can see that the officials are not noble. If you are rich and not have a warehouse, relying on the shadow of your ancestors is not a way to do it. Seeing that the Rong family had shown signs of decay, Rong Yongxi seemed to have a supreme sense of mission......

Luo Yan hurriedly smiled, "Father-in-law, don't worry, Xianggong knows the depths, and he will definitely not miss the Jinshi entrance examination." Wait for us to return to Beijing to see if we can see Jiao Niang, and then report to my in-laws that we are safe. ”

"That's great!" Mrs. Jiang looked delighted.

The night is dark, and the family drinks porridge around the stove, but it is also warm and warm. After eating this supper, which was considered dinner, Luo Yan and Rong Xi chatted a few more words in Mrs. Jiang's house, and then went back to the house to sleep. Early the next morning, they gave the newly designed jewelry Yuehua to Jin Yuan to Master Feng, and then set off back to the capital.

The sun shone warmly into the car window, and Luo Yan simply opened the car curtain to breathe. There was no wind on this day, and it was as if everything was still. It wasn't until I approached the Zhuangyuan Building that I saw the flow of people, and it was still as bustling and lively as when I first entered Beijing.

The carriage wandered slowly in the warm sun, and the flower building gradually came into view. A woman in red sweeps the fallen leaves in front of the building. The wide bamboo broom swept on the bluestone, making a rattling sound. Luo Yan knew that it was a scarlet girl, but she didn't want to call her. Just like that, watching her big red dress swaying with her posture, like a big red flower on a spring day, makes people feel warm.

Qifei straightened up, seeing that Luo Yan was looking at her in a daze, she couldn't help but smile at Luo Yan, "Boss, the money I owe will be sent to you in two days." ”

Luo Yan smiled and nodded, the carriage passed, Luo Yan looked back at Qifei, she was holding a bamboo broom in one hand and looking at the sky with a canopy in her hand. Luo Yan couldn't help but look at the endless blue in the sky, the color was so good, I couldn't wait to cut a piece to make a skirt......

"What are you looking at?" Rong Xi followed Luo Yan's gaze.

"I love that kind of blue!"

"If you like us, you can dye it, don't forget, we open a dyeing room, and you can dye any color you want."

"Xianggong is not allowed to deceive people, I want to be so blue, and I will wear it in the spring, how clear and bright it is...... Just thinking about it makes my heart pound with joy. ”

"Well, don't lie, I'm going to cut myself and go on a trip with my lady."

The two laughed and the carriage arrived in front of the East Fence Treasure Pavilion, but they didn't expect the gate of the East Fence Treasure Pavilion to be open......

"You're back so soon!" Yu Chen was sitting at the counter, holding the abacus with one hand and the other. When he saw Rong Xi and Luo Yan coming in, he greeted him happily.

"Didn't you come back sooner! Did you come back last night? Rong Xi knew that he and Luo Yan had only arrived in the capital at this time when they got up early in the morning, and it was impossible for Yu Chen to get up earlier than them, he had always liked to sleep lazy.

Yu Chen flattened his mouth and stopped talking.

"Xiao Qi, tell me, what's wrong with your young master?" Luo Yan looked at Xiao Qi by the door.

"This," Xiao Qi changed into a jujube red short coat and dark pants today, and tied a turmeric silk ribbon around his waist, but he looked a little handsome. "The slave can only say that our master is bent on the business of the East Fence Treasure Pavilion, so he rushed back at noon yesterday."

"I don't believe it!" Jiu'er said crisply and glared at Xiao Qi.

"Whoever wants you to believe it, the third grandmother just believes it."

"I don't believe it either!" Luo Yan deliberately teased him.

"Xiao Qi is right, I'm just thinking about our business!" Yu Chen pulled Rong Xi to sit on the circle chair in the hospitality area, with a mysterious look on his face, "Do you know what kind of shop is opened diagonally opposite?" ”

Rong Xi couldn't figure it out for a while.

"Han Feng's shop is open?" Luo Yan didn't pay attention to looking across the road just now, but she didn't expect Han Feng to build a new shop so quickly.

"Yes, the boss is surnamed Han. His shop is called Liuli Huacai Fang, which specializes in all kinds of jewelry. Isn't this a clear sign of stealing business with us! Yu Chen sighed.

Rong Xi smiled and patted Yu Chen's hand, "How can we have business for him to rob, what are you afraid of!" ”

"How not! The shop opened at noon yesterday, and a lot of people came to Hula. The boss Han invited a Taile Bureau to unveil the shop, and as soon as the red silk of the glazed Huacai Fang was revealed, those people went in to buy jewelry, as if they didn't want money. I secretly ran to take a look, and the jewelry they sell is called the Huacai series, which is exactly the same as our Ailian's series of jewelry......"

"Are you sure you read that right?" Luo Yan was taken aback. It is said that most people make jewelry, just like the old way to make a golden-winged peony flower or something, and I haven't heard anyone name jewelry.

"How can you be mistaken, we only have Ai Lian and Ai Lian series jewelry in our shop!"

"Xianggong." Luo Yan looked at Rong Xi, and knew in her heart that Han Feng must be against her......
