"I heard that your brother has a good character and some kung fu, why doesn't he go out to find something to do?" The prince brought the Nalan guards to Yiran and spoke.

"Back to the prince, Donggui didn't want to find something to do, and he also learned kung fu from his subordinates for a few years, and he was qualified to be a caretaker for a large family. However, after the subordinate brother got married, he has been living with his father-in-law and rarely comes home. The sister-in-law is an only daughter, her parents are old and can't do without her, and her subordinate brother is a sword and pen official in Shuntian Mansion, and the place where he works is very close to his father-in-law's house, and he lives in his father-in-law's house, and the family here can't point to him at all. The subordinates don't have time to go home often, the third brother goes out to find something to do, there are only his mother and sister at home, he doesn't worry about the two women at home, the house is facing the street, and he feels that there is no man in the family who is not safe, so he takes care of the family's affairs. Chopping wood, carrying water, buying food and vegetables are not women's jobs. ”

"Your brother is very filial, isn't he? How old is he? Are you married? ”

"My younger brother is exactly twenty years old this year, and he is not married but is married. The threshold for the woman's family is very high, and his future father-in-law is a lifter, or a rich family. ”

"Looks like your brother is pretty good."

The Nalan guard scratched his scalp and said embarrassedly, "You don't think our family is a big family, do you?" In fact, it was his subordinate brother who saved Miss Fucha, and the girl took a fancy to him, so he didn't marry. The younger brother of his subordinates is better than his subordinates and brothers, he is good-looking, he is also shrewd, he is literate, he can settle accounts, and he is quite good at talking. ”

"It seems that your brother's character is really good, and that Miss Fucha is also affectionate and righteous."

"Yes, Miss Fucha is a sympathetic person, for another person, her parents will thank her with a generous gift, and it will pass, and there will be no intersection again. But she felt that Donggui had a good character, and it was too late to hide with another person, so she would be finished. Not to mention getting married, there is no face in life. Our family feels that the lintels of the two families are too far apart, and the third brother is not worthy of others. But Miss Wen Jing didn't dislike it at all, saying that her future husband would have everything if he had a good character. The rich three wives and four concubines are too troublesome, and even if they are rich, they may not always be rich, and those who have no money may not necessarily be poor all their lives. If couples work together to live a good life, they may be able to change the situation. ”

"This young lady who lifts a family is not simple!"

"My mother saw the girl once, and it was she who brought her parents to thank Donggui that time, saying that she was knowledgeable. In fact, my mother is also a beautiful girl, and she wants to marry my father after taking a fancy to him. Her mother's family has basically disowned her. Otherwise, we didn't have a father when we were young, and the outside family could reach out to help, and my mother wouldn't have worked so hard. My mother has not begged her mother's family once in all these years, and she has survived all the hardships and tiredness, so the four of us brothers and sisters respect our mother very much. Donggui will definitely be concerned about selling goods, and he will do it well. ”

"Very good, if the market is optimistic, the government will rent him a shop and let him be the shopkeeper."

"Thank you Lord Wang!" Nalan knelt on one leg and saluted the prince.

"That's it, go back and give the two of you two two days off, send the goods back and let Donggui give them a trial sale? You bring the news back and go on. Seeing that Fang Fujin has prepared all the things, he will use the car on the house to pull it back and try to sell it, don't have any worries. Tell your brother and let him touch the price, the price set by the government as a reference, he can change it according to the actual situation. ”

"Thank you for your trust." The Nalan guards clasped their fists and saluted and left.

The prince said to Yun'er: "Your cousin should also send the goods over, but if you carry the cloth from the Suzhou mansion to the outside, many people will know that there are goods there, and it is inevitable that people will be remembered. ”

As soon as Yun'er wanted to say that she should ask Master for instructions, Master pushed the door and came in. Wang Ye and Yun'er hurriedly greeted the master, and Master Gan Lin said with a smile: "Your pace of business is very fast." It's only been a few days since I've been back and I'm going to sell the goods. Very good, don't look at the time set by the master for you is twenty-five to thirty years, which seems to be a long time. But you also bought a lot of goods, so you have to be careful not to publicize it. The road ahead of you is still very difficult, but I can't teach you how to do it as a teacher, and I have to find a way by myself. Cousin Yun'er, it should be an important place for you to sell cloth on your behalf. The purpose of this visit is to tell you that everyone in the house should be involved in your business, but not the Lord Steward, his brother-in-law, and his own nephews, and no matter how eager they are to participate, or how sincere they may be, you must not be deceived by their rhetoric. Huikong thought very thoughtfully, so he asked Yun'er to carry the cloth to the car that delivered the cloth at night, and sent it away early the next morning, trying not to let the people in the house see it. ”

"Disciples, remember Master's teachings."

Master Gan Lin also talked to Wang Ye and Yun'er about some cultivation matters, that is, the cultivation method of this method and some mental requirements. Finally, tell them that you are not only to sell goods, but also to save people. Now it is getting closer and closer to the death of Emperor Shunzhi, and when Emperor Kangxi ascended the throne, natural disasters and man-made disasters began to increase, and you have also read the "History of the Qing Dynasty" in a foreign land, and since the beginning of the third year of Kangxi, natural disasters such as snow disasters, droughts, waterlogging, and wind disasters have continued, and the consequences of the enclosure of Ao Bai to the Qing Dynasty are also very serious, and the victims and beggars are all factors of social turmoil. ”

After the master left, the prince ordered someone to find Tian Liang, and told him about the delivery to Yulong Cloth Village, and Tian Liang drove the car, and the prince, Mr. and Yun'er all went, and told Tian Liang that he would get up early tomorrow morning, and the goods would be waiting at the north gate of the garden.

Then Yun'er began to prepare the goods for the Jade Dragon Paper Company. It is glassware, glass crafts and resin crafts, and the three princes of this kind of goods have not bought less. The glass is not afraid of mice and insects, but it is afraid of breaking, Yun'er moved two boxes of each of these goods in the middle of the night, and placed them on the west wall against the wall at the door of Yun'er's room.

The sharp-eyed fish saw six large boxes at once, and couldn't help asking, "Master, aren't these boxes on a big pile?" It must have been brought by the prince and my father-in-law. ”

Yun'er smiled: "You can come here how you said it came about, but guess what is inside?" If you guess correctly, you may be rewarded. ”

"The master is used to whetting people's appetites, what does it mean that there may be a reward? Is there any? "The fish's demeanor is very serious and serious.

"Because I don't think you can guess, then there is no reward."

"The slave maid guessed that there must be a lot of paper gourds in it, or they were the materials for making sachets."

"You and Shui'er are going to carry it?"

The two of them stepped forward curiously, but did not move. Glass products can be much heavier than paper gourds. It's all packed in small cardboard boxes, and you can't touch them. The two shook their heads, unable to guess.

"Then open it and take a look, you must be careful, you can't fall to the ground and break, if you break it, you will not only be punished for the month, but you will also be spanked with a big board.

The fish subconsciously covered his buttocks, looking frightened. Yun'er couldn't help but laugh. The fish knew that the master was amusing herself, so she pretended to be angry and pouted. But the master couldn't help but listen to his orders, so he and Shui Er carefully opened one of the boxes, took out the top cardboard box, and held it on the case where the book had been placed.

"Let's open it and take a look." Yun'er knew that these women in the mansion, in the palm-sized world of the palace, had never seen anything in the world, and they were open to the little sisters around them.

When the small carton was opened, the fish screamed, "Wow! It's so beautiful! Master, this is glazed, right? The whole body is transparent, and there are no impurities at all! ”

Shui'er also came over to take a look, her mouth opened wide, and she looked surprised: "Oh! This is also very good-looking, the master must be very expensive, right? ”

Yun'er carefully placed the contents on the table for everyone to see, and explained: "This is a glass ornament, and a pair of swans represent the love of husband and wife and a happy life. ”

Ling Juan, who came out of the east side room, also saw it and leaned over: "This pair of swans is really beautiful enough, the purity of the glass is quite high, hurry up and put it on the Bogu shelf in your room." ”

"This is going to be sent to my uncle's store in the Liuli Factory over there in Hufang Bridge to sell on behalf of me, how much do you say it can be sold?"

The fish hurriedly said, "You must sell it for a thousand taels of silver." ”

"Why don't you take a stick and rob the road, and pay back a thousand taels, this is glass, not glass or crystal, where is it worth so much silver?"

"Five hundred taels is worth it, right? Rich families don't care about the amount of silver, but whether the things look good or not. Such a beautiful ornament doesn't cost 1,000 taels of silver, but also 800 taels, and the minimum can't be less than 500 taels, which we don't have in the Qing Dynasty! ”

Ling Juan said: "Mama Zhou is very reasonable, things are scarce and expensive. Even if you don't sell it for five hundred taels, you have to get at least one hundred taels, right? ”

Yun'er has a copy of the price of some exotic materials that Xiaoli has printed in her hand, including the price of glass crafts, which is the wholesale price. There are crystal balls, glass ornaments, landscape glass balls, European-style transparent glass vases, FRP floor vases, threaded round glass vases, glass bottle hanging balls, pure copper Quartet Na Cai Cornucopia, glass golden Buddha, blowing handicrafts and so on. All of them are high-purity glass materials, and there are only ten pieces of paper in the paper line that were sent to Zhou's shopkeeper for the first time. In addition to glass also resin materials and copper crafts. The price is flexibly controlled by the shopkeeper Zhou. The lowest price Yun'er gave was two taels of silver, and the shopkeeper Zhou said that it was too little, and at least five taels would be paid.

The first delivery Wang Ye and Mr. Chen both went, and the prince said politely: "Fu is causing trouble for the shopkeeper Zhou." ”

Before this, Mr. Chen had already sent Chang Sui Changqing to pass through the breath with his brother-in-law. Shopkeeper Zhou is very happy, the prince came forward to ask for himself, what a big face!

"Second Master Fu, you are too polite, you don't dare to swing more, for fear of being robbed. Glass is a delicate thing. You're from the Crystal Palace, right? ”

Yun'er came forward and explained to her uncle the prices of various glass ornaments and crystal balls given by the house. Then let the shopkeeper Zhou see the reaction of the guests during the trial sale.

Three days later, the shopkeeper himself came to the house, apparently from the store. It's embarrassing, the buckle of the neckline is pulled off, and the glass ornaments are robbed!

It's not bad, those who robbed the ornaments were given money. There was a guest officer who instructed his subordinates to hold Zhou's shopkeeper one by one, and the guest officer personally picked out the glass ornaments he liked, and then slapped a silver ticket on the counter, without asking the price or looking for money, and swaggered away to see the face value of the silver ticket given, all of which were one hundred taels of silver! I thought that the price of the five taels of silver I set was too high. As a result, the guest officer gave a price of one hundred and twenty-one, just to return the silver ticket to others, but these guests all robbed it! Next time, I'm going to make some ones with beautiful packaging. Just like the pair of lilac glass swans, their necks are very thin and easy to break. It's much better with the packaging.

Nalan said: "This is a good thing, the subordinates have already gone home and asked, and the third brother is very willing to sell goods to the house." The subordinates have not gone through business, and they don't know much about selling goods, but they know that they need to buy goods in business, they have to spend money, and they have to make money before they buy any goods. ”

Nalan Guard's home is not far from the house, just on the street at the south gate of the Nanwai Mansion, and you will arrive through the Nanwai Mansion. As a man, Nalan guards understand why his younger brother is in a hurry to make money, he marries, makes a decision, repairs the house, decorates the new house, and the money for the banquet is all paid by Nalan Dong, which means that the second brother and sister-in-law give him a daughter-in-law, which is really unsatisfactory! Why don't you have to take half of the money yourself? Of course, as Nalan Guards and Shui'er, he didn't have any ideas, Donggui was his own younger brother, he grew up in poverty, he was only four years old when his father died, and his sister was just born. At that time, Nalan was eight years old and his eldest brother was ten years old. The old mother did laundry, embroidered, and took care of the children, and it was not easy to pull the brothers and sisters up. Donggui really wants to make money to marry his daughter-in-law, but he has no chance to make money, it's not that he is lazy.

It was not too late to return home, and the Nalan guards went directly to Yiran Tower to find the prince and told him the situation, and the prince happily said to Fujin: "The first agency store was born. ”

Then he said to Nalan: "Tomorrow, this king will tell Fang Fujin to let her pack two boxes of prepared goods for your brother and send them home, and sell them first, how about it?" ”

"Thank you for taking care of your younger brother."

"You go and rest."

"The subordinates retired." Nalan clasped his fists and saluted, took a few steps back, turned around, and returned to Feiyun Tower. first went to Tian Liang's house, and it was Tian Liang who recommended his younger brother, and he should express his gratitude.

Tian Liang said: "We are all brothers, where to use politeness?" I believe that Brother Donggui can do it. Last year, I took Yu'er and Rui'er to the street, and I met the Donggui brothers selling goods, and the one with a good attitude was the same as the spring breeze. The young women gathered around him, chattering and arguing, and they didn't see the slightest impatience on his part, nor did he get confused because of the crowd. What a material for doing business. I know you're worried about his carpenter's craft being alienated by his business. Tell you no, when his affairs are on the right track, I will mention to the prince and ask him to bring a few apprentices to make furniture and sell it in the store. Our master still has exotic furniture patterns in his hands, and there are any styles, which are much better than the styles of our Qing Dynasty. Is this inside information? ”

"You kid is interesting enough, when will you have two cups?"
