Over the past 20 years, Ruiqian's Jade Dragon Cloth Village has repeatedly expanded in size, "annexing" the left and right shops, and then renovating the internal structure again. After the renovation of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, www.biquge.info changed from the previous three counters at the entrance to a counter on the opposite wall of the entrance, and five eight-foot-long and six-foot-wide cloth cutting cases were placed in the vacant position in the middle. Because the prince sent all the lasaac cloth, there must be a wide place to cut it. In this way, the jade dragon cloth village looks extraordinarily lenient and heroic.

There are four men in each of the five cases, who are cutting cloth, standing in the four directions of the case. Each of them had a yellow ruler and a pair of crooked neck scissors in their hands, which Yun'er had brought back from a foreign land and gave them to her cousin for business.

The front of the door is a piece of cloth rolls, the guest chooses which one of them, and the guy who stands at the counter will send it to the case of cutting the cloth, and the two guys will measure the cloth opposite each other and fold the cloth over, align it with the edge, and cut it with the scissors. You don't have to cut it all at once, just cut a gap at the edge, and the guy on the opposite side puts the fabric against the position of the chest, and the scissors rush forward, and it cuts it, neatly and squarely, and it will never be crooked. They also carried forward the old tradition of Ruiqian's "one finger outside the ruler", never tightened the fabric when measuring the cloth, and also gave up a finger room outside the size of the measuring cloth, which was used for shrinkage.

The counter for the exotic fabric is on the opposite side of the entrance, with the satin material on the right and the homespun cloth on the left. The fabric goods are in a single room with the door that opens the west wall. There are a lot of cloth goods hanging and arranging inside. From sachets and handbags to embroidery and carrying bags, as well as plush dolls, shoes and socks, pillowcases, aprons, silk scarves, and underwear and outerwear, the three walls and counters of the small inner room are hung and filled.

The fabrics on the front counter are all fabrics bought by the three princes from foreign lands, and there are all kinds of materials. What is being sold now is the pure cotton cloth that Yun'er bought from Shanghai, and the pure cotton cloth such as the Northeast large flower cloth, the small flower cloth, and the plaid bed sheet cloth. Women are best used to make gowns, quilts, and bed sheets. Cotton textiles will shrink, but the degree of shrinkage is different. These flower cloths are all shrinkage and do not fade, although the format is very wide, more than double the cotton cloth of Daqing, but the price is still cheaper than that of Daqing. Whether it is the color or the degree of fruit, it is far more than the Qing Dynasty. It's just that chemical fiber fabrics have an Achilles' heel, that is, they are not resistant to high temperatures. It's not very breathable to wear. Then again, the standard of living of ordinary people is very low, and everything you buy must be strong and durable. When the three princes returned to the Qing Dynasty, some people bought exotic cotton cloth and brocade, silk and other cloths, and they have not worn them out for more than ten years, so they know that the wide cloth of Yulong Cloth Village is a good thing, so as soon as the old thief fell, the cotton cloth varieties of Yulong Cloth Village suddenly increased, and the people who benefited the most were the ordinary people in the capital. I have successively bought the exotic cloth of Yulong Cloth Village, and the commoners of the capital like it very much, and I hope that each of them will be bought and saved in five feet, and the son will marry the daughter-in-law and the daughter will go out, which is the best dowry. Even wealthy families also like the cloth of Yulong Cloth Village, from cotton cloth to silk, brocade, yarn, as long as there is a new kind of cloth, and there is money in hand, they all want to hoard a little, and it is also for their children's marriage.

Tian Liang gave Ruiqian advice on how to get out of the robbery situation. That is, the guests who buy cloth first pay money to buy cards at the street window outside the cloth village, wait for the number according to the queuing order on the plate, and call the guests who have reached the number to enter the store to select the goods, and then the guy gives the cloth and goes out from the west gate. So don't look at how many people queue up outside, there are only a dozen or so customers in the store at most, scattered at various counters to choose the cloth, there is no crowding and chaos, there will be no customers who have their wallets stolen, and there will be no women who have been salted to eat tofu.

Dong Ji Cloth Village, located in Xicheng, also adopts this method of sales, and the two cloth houses together sell more than a dozen pieces of cloth every day. Many other cloth villages in the capital wonder where the cloth of Yulong Cloth Village is purchased from, and how can it be endless? It was they who spent a high price to buy the guy set of Yulong Cloth Village and asked where the lasafra cloth was purchased by the shopkeeper Chen, and the man only knew that it was sent by Lord Rui, but he didn't know where it was produced. In fact, it was to tell him where he got it, and he didn't have the ability to go to the next two hundred years to buy it. What's more, these are absolute secrets, and even Chen Ruiqian, the shopkeeper, doesn't know where these fabrics are produced!

There is a relatively large cloth village "Xiangrui Cloth Village" near the overpass, but it is not Ruifuxiang, Ruifuxiang Silk Cloth Village was opened in the 19th year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty. Yulong Buzhuang is relatively close to Zhengyangmen, and the location of the overpass is far away from here. Therefore, no matter how prosperous Chen Ruiqian's business is, it will not affect Xiangrui Cloth Village. But the shopkeeper of this cloth village is very jealous of the jade dragon cloth village with a royal gold plaque on the door. It took a lot of manpower and financial resources to inquire about the details of the shopkeeper Chen, only to know that the shopkeeper Chen, who was born as a scholar, was actually the brother-in-law of the famous Rui Wangye! Is this worth it? Even if you are angry, you don't dare to touch a single hair of others! However, it's still okay to stumble behind your back, right? So he connected several cloth shopkeepers to raise funds and hire people to deal with Chen Ruiqian.

Yun'er was drawing, and "Ding!" was in her ears. The sound of metal being struck on the ground indicated that something was in trouble. Yun'er hurriedly closed her eyes and observed, and found that her cousin's house was smoking and on fire!

So Yun'er immediately put down the paintbrush in her hand, rushed out the door, took her skirt down the stairs of the building, came to her father's gate, and asked the little maid in the courtyard: "Is my brother here?" ”

"The chief manager is upstairs, and the little one will come down for you?"

"Quick!"

The little guy said yes and immediately ran into the building. Taking advantage of this, Yun'er called softly: "Sister Qing'er? ”

"Qing'er is here, what does my sister say?" Now Qing'er is Yun'er's personal bodyguard. Her ability is not locked, so as soon as Yun'er summons, she immediately appears in front of Yun'er's eyes.

"You follow my brother and take a few people to Yulong Cloth Village, there is a fire there, go immediately!"

Qing'er hugged her fists: "Yes, Qing'er and the manager will be here immediately." ”

At this time, Tian Liang hurriedly went downstairs, saw his sister's nervous expression, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Brother Ruiqian's cloth village is on fire, you and Sister Qing'er take a few people to hurry over. Sister Qing'er is responsible for fighting the fire, and you take people to protect the eldest brother's family. ”

Qing'er said to Tian Liang: "The head manager will take people to walk slowly, and Qing'er will go first." ”

Tian Liang knew Qing'er's ability, and without saying a word, he took away all the guards and personal soldiers of Feiyun Tower, and took the four-wheeled electric car on the house and hurried to Yulong Buzhuang.

Qing'er's wisp of green smoke disappeared. Arrive at Yulong Buzhuang before Tian Liang.

There was smoke billowing here, and the fire was not very big. The firefighters fetched water from the well in the backyard and ran all the way to the shop in front of them to water it, and it was the cloth on the counter that caught fire, not the case where the cloth was measured, nor the shelves where the cloth was displayed.

Qing'er can't use the form of Qinglong spraying water to extinguish the fire, but can only use invisible water jets to extinguish the flames. Just like when Ao Bai set fire to the palace, he sprayed water from the well.

The crowd fighting the fire included people from neighboring shops, passers-by, and people who wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob. Because of the chaos, there are still people who want to rob Rui Qian. Ruiqian's wife, children, and old lady hugged Ruiqian tightly, and the sounds of crying and abuse were intertwined.

At this time, Tian Liang arrived and shouted: "Don't mess up! Listen to me! ”

"Manager Tian is here, it's good now!" The guys in the store let out a sigh of relief, and their eyes were on the people who were helping. There were a lot of unscrupulous thugs among these people, and their intention was to snatch the iron cabinet containing money that was placed under the counter, but the cabinet was so heavy that it seemed to grow on the ground, and the two of them couldn't move it. How did they know that this iron cabinet had been welded to the ground by Tian Liang. This is a closed iron cabinet, whether it is silver or money, you can't take it out if you throw it in, and the money for change is in the drawer, the amount is very small, and the total will not exceed ten taels. The people who came to buy cloth hardly did not have a large ingot of silver as large as fifty taels, and ten taels was at most.

The people brought by Tian Liang are all well-trained. A few guards and personal soldiers caught three thugs who were robbing on the spot. Da Zhang ran from behind and told Tian Liang that someone dragged the shopkeeper outside, and he was not a good person at first glance.

Sure enough, there were still people with ropes to tie up Ruiqian. It's just that the wives and children at home are struggling to save their lives and shouting for help. Tian Liang led people to rush to catch and tie up the people who had plundered Ruiqian, and the fire over there was all extinguished.

At this time, Wang Ye, Mr. Chen, Yun'er and others also arrived. Looking at the scene of the fire, it was found that there was an unburned fire fold in the charred cloth. This shows that someone stuffed the fire fold into the cloth and set it on fire. But the arsonist put the fire fold under the cloth, and the oxygen was insufficient, and the fire burned slowly, and when it reached the surface, the oxygen was sufficient, and it became a fire, so that only three bundles of cloth were lost: the one that held the fire fold and the two bundles to the left and right next to it. It's all the kind of chemical fiber silk that costs a dollar and a meter, and the chemical fiber is afraid of fire, but because the fire fold is impermeable to air below, it should have been put in the fire fold yesterday. The economic loss was not very large, including the counter of the store and the burnt cloth, a total of more than 2,000 yuan in foreign land, equivalent to 32 taels of silver in the Qing Dynasty. But Ruiqian's wife, wife and children were very frightened.

Wang Ye, Yun'er and Tian Liang didn't know how to comfort the family. Chen Wang, who had been living with Ruiqian, hit him harder, beating his chest and saying that he was sorry for the young master.

He couldn't sleep last night, smelled something strange in the store, and looked for it again. I asked the new husband what it smelled like, and the husband said that he didn't smell it, so Chen Wang went to the backyard to check, but he didn't find it, and the next morning he found that the smoke was billowing in the store, and he wanted to open the door and let it smoke, but who knew that there was an open fire and it burned immediately. I feel so guilty that I think I was negligent, and I should carefully look for the source of the fire when I smell the smoke.

"Fourth master, calm down!" Tian Liang said to him: "Thanks to the smell of the strange smell, and thanks to the fact that you didn't open the door, if there is a fire in the middle of the night, and the bad guys take advantage of the chaos to rob, the situation will be even worse!" Hurry up and arrest the husband! ”

But the husband has already fled, which proves that the fire has something to do with the husband.

Ruiqian wept bitterly and repeatedly reviewed his carelessness.

For a few gangsters who took advantage of the fire to rob, they must be brought to justice, handed over to the criminal department, and then the prince and Tian Liang entered the palace to report to the emperor. The crime of arson and homicide are the same, Kangxi said that he wanted to set an example, and these people were beheaded within a few days of entering the criminal department. They wanted to take advantage of the chaos to kidnap Ruiqian, and they committed the crime of kidnapping and arson, which is equivalent to murder.

Ruiqian's Yulong Cloth Village will be renovated internally, closed for business, and reopened half a month later. The prince put the strengthening of vigilance in the first place, and dispatched eight personal soldiers to protect Ruiqian. Although the loss is not big, the lesson is great, just patronizing and making money, I didn't expect that some people would be jealous when they saw that they made more money. However, good is rewarded with good and evil is rewarded with evil, the shopkeeper of the "auspicious" cloth village did not pay attention when he went out at the same time as "exporting evil energy", tripped over the threshold, fractured his lower leg, and spent exactly thirty-two taels of silver on medical expenses to recuperate at home.

The prince understood, although Ao Bai fell, there were still people eyeing Chen Ruiqian. Because of man's greed and jealousy, he sees no better things than him, and he wants to make trouble. Of course, the prince didn't know about the boss of Xiangrui Cloth Village, anyway, this matter was not so simple, until the husband was caught, and confessed that he was tucked under the cloth, and the shopkeeper of Xiangrui Cloth Village gave him fifty taels of silver to see that the business of Yulong Cloth Village was booming and he couldn't stand it.

The husband and the shopkeeper of Xiangrui Buzhuang did not send it to the Criminal Department, the prince asked Yun'er to send him farther away, and Yun'er sent him to an island in Hainan, and gave him the tools and seeds for planting and enough food for a year, so that they could support themselves, save jealousy and be strong and not see the good of others, and the husband was also greedy for ready-made benefits. A lesson should be taught to those who just think about getting something for nothing, killing the head is not the best way.

Ruiqian Buzhuang caught fire, and the prince was heartbroken, so he accompanied Ruiqian in person. For so many years, Ruiqian has been conscientiously operating fabrics for the house, and the credit is great! But Ruiqian kept crying bitterly, saying that he was too careless! I don't accept the lesson, the last time I came to kidnap Ming Luan, I should be careful in everything, I didn't expect anyone to be jealous.

"Lord Wang, it's not you who is wrong! The store caught fire and burned three rolls of cloth, and you didn't say a word, so you must compensate for the loss! You can rest assured that you will not be overwhelmed in the future. After that, he was about to kneel, and was pulled by the prince and Tian Liang. The prince said: "This responsibility is mainly for the king, so you don't have to feel guilty, how can you make any losses." You don't hold a grudge against this king for this? ”

"What did the prince say? There is no risk if I don't sell you cloth under the next? The two shopkeepers on the door have been eyeing the bottom, haven't they also put a black sticker on the bottom? And the previous time, if it weren't for your help, I'm afraid it would have been over. Before selling cloth to you, the business under the business is not dead, can only barely eat, these years the house has also been rebuilt, the children have also married, the family life is getting better and better, the guys also have savings, everyone is thinking of your good son, you are the benefactor of the cloth village, what can I hate you in the next place? If you can still trust it, please continue to send cloth! ”

The prince said, "Okay, keep sending." But in his heart, he said, "I'm afraid it won't be long before it is delivered, right?" ”
