Chapter 349: The Imperial Golden Plaque
Nalan Donggui didn't seem to have drunk much, and after entering the door to greet Eniang and the second sister-in-law, he used the scale rod to pick up Wen Jing's red hijab and sat next to Wen Jing. The whole person gave the whole family a glass of wine, and the two drank a glass of wine between the husband and wife, and then the tent was sprinkled, and the whole person sprinkled peanuts, dates, chestnuts and other dried fruits on the bed of the Donggui couple, which means "early Lizi", that is, early birth of a noble son. The family hurried away, and the young people from the haunted house poured in. Laughing loudly and making trouble, let Nalan Donggui and Wen Jing do this and that. Most of these young people are neighbors who are familiar with Donggui. Nalan's family is an old family in this area, the family's character is good, the neighbors are very popular, Donggui is married, and his friends and buddies have come to cheer.
After enough trouble, everyone went home to rest, leaving only Donggui and Wen Jing.
"Jing, you're so beautiful!" Donggui hugged the bride, and his face turned red with excitement.
"Xianggong!" Wen Jing snuggled shyly in Donggui's arms, feeling as if she was in a dream.
"Are you hungry? Have a snack. ”
"Jing'er is not hungry. Xianggong has been busy for a day, he should be hungry, right? Jing'er brought you snacks and poured tea. ”
"No, no, I'm not hungry, let's talk." Donggui held Wen Jing's hand, his head against Wen Jing's head, and whispered, "We're finally together." I'm so happy, what about you? ”
"Me too. Xianggong, Wen Jing feels like a dream. ”
"It's not a dream, it's real. By the way, my sister-in-law didn't say anything unpleasant, right? If you say anything, don't care, she speaks straight and has a good heart. Donggui never said that the sister-in-law was not, although this sister-in-law was a famous iron rooster and was disliked by Eniang.
"No, no, my sister-in-law didn't say anything unpleasant. But Jing'er has a question, I don't know whether to ask or not. ”
"You say."
"On the day of the lottery, it was a four-rank military attache who took the place of your family, didn't you say that you were a civilian family? How do you know such a big official? ”
"That's a friend from the second brother's side."
"E-niang said that the second brother and sister-in-law are both people with errands, where are they on errands?"
"This shouldn't be hidden from you, you have to know sooner or later. The second brother is the personal guard of Lord Rui, and the second sister-in-law serves by the side of Fujin. These furnishings in our house were all given to the second sister-in-law by the master, and the second sister-in-law gave us a new house to decorate. ”
"Huh? Rui Wangfu? The second brother and sister-in-law are on an errand in the palace? These furnishings are all given to the second sister-in-law by side Fujin? How can the second sister-in-law give up such a good thing? ”
"Don't think too much, the second brother and sister-in-law are very good people, our family has been supported by the second brother's money all these years, and I have only earned a few years of money? The second sister-in-law is the most loyal, and you have to get along with her in the future. That Lord Nacai is the cousin of Lord Rui, didn't you look at the face of the prince and the second brother to help me? The second sister-in-law serves the side Fujin people who are quite good, and they treat the second sister-in-law as their own sister and often reward her. The things you are given are all given to the second sister-in-law by the side Fujin. There are also those dowry gifts for you, half of which are from the side blessings. How many dowry gifts can I get?
"So, your marriage was helped by the Rui Wangfu? Why? ”
"One is that the second brother and sister-in-law are good at working as errands in the house, and the other is that they know your character and don't dislike me, a merchant who walks the streets and alleys, and says that you are today's Wang Baochuan. Nothing else, let's open a store in the future and repay Lord Rui and Fang Fujin. ”
"That's for sure. But what Jing'er doesn't understand is where did you get so much capital to open a store? It's not like you can afford to get out of those goods. ”
"You ask this, of course I can't afford the goods to open a store, and those things are not produced by our Daqing. It was brought back by Lord Rui and Fang Fujin last year, as well as Brother Tian, who followed Lord Rui's Buddhist master to Yunyou. Some of them are ready-made, and some of them are freshly made by the skills learned by those girls in the house and the side Fu Jin. Is it because I can't sleep well because of this? ”
"Well, Jing'er wondered why you suddenly opened the store?"
"Oh, most of the goods in the store were entrusted to me by Prince Rui, and I don't have to use the capital to do the goods, just to help the government sell them, and they will give me a profit. There is also a small part of the goods that I did locally when I was a merchant before. Lord Rui said that it was too hard and dangerous for me to be a merchant, so he rented a shop to save the wind and rain. A few days ago, two gangs of thugs came to smash the field. Did you Amma hear that I had beaten someone and wanted to withdraw from the marriage? ”
"Jing'er is really ......"
"You should also be considerate of the heart of the elderly, who doesn't want their children's marriage to go smoothly? Originally, I was from a very low background, and I was a ...... who fought and brawled."
"Don't say it, don't say it, what's wrong with you? It was Amma who wronged you. So, who is in the second sister-in-law's family? gave Jing'er so many things, won't the mother's family have ideas? ”
"She is an orphan girl who has lost both her parents and a younger brother. When he sold himself to bury his father, he met the prince and Fujin who came back from Yunyou, and took her in. She is now by Fang Fujin's side, and she also gets along well with Fang Fujin. ”
"At first glance, he is a kind person. But Jing'er still has a question, you just said that the goods in your store are sold for the palace, and if you don't sell them, won't there be no goods? Since then......
"Your heart is careful enough, the goods brought back by Fang Fujin are not all finished products, most of them are materials, just like cloth, you have to make clothes by yourself to wear. They gave the work to the girls and grandmothers in the house, and everyone could earn a manual fee. When the goods run out, you can buy cloth in our Daqing and continue to do it. ”
"This side Fujin is amazing, he can still think of the people in the house when he goes out, and give everyone an extra opportunity to make money."
"Yes, this side Fujin is not only good-hearted, but also very capable, and is very favored by the prince. It's not too early, let's rest. Tomorrow morning, I will give tea to Eniang. ”
Donggui finally married the person he wanted to go home, and after he got married, he would enter the normal road of doing business. What I didn't expect was that Fucha Wenjing took over the bookkeeping and managed the accounts clearly. The abacus crackled and became Donggui's good helper.
Fucha? Wen Jing looks weak, and when she starts to do things, she doesn't let her eyebrows go. He has a lot of respect for his mother-in-law and is polite to everyone in the Donggui family. Especially for her husband Nalan? Donggui is even more considerate. Old Mrs. Nalan is very fond of this little daughter-in-law.
After getting married, Donggui went all out to run his department store. In addition to the goods that the government asked him to sell, he has been a merchant for several years, and he also has his own purchase channels. In this way, the variety of goods in his department store is considerable. The profits from selling goods to the government were used to expand the business. The new goods in the house were also sent to him in a steady stream, and he had a considerable income every day, and his father-in-law, who was a person, was also impressed by this business-minded son-in-law.
On the day of the opening of Donggui's shop, the gangsters who came to smash the field came again, and brought seven or eight thugs, Donggui married Fucha Wenjing and became the old hatred and new hatred of the thin monkey. But they also learned a little lesson, not so ostentatious, but waiting for the opportunity in the crowd. Donggui had already seen them, and exchanged glances with the two royal soldiers in civilian clothes.
Today's goods are more complete than a few days ago, several kinds of fabric products have been added, and the styles of handbags have also increased a lot, attracting young men and girls in front of the counter to linger. There were also middle-aged women and old ladies.
"Ouch! Who is so lacking in virtue! A little girl who was obviously inexperienced cried out: "Shopkeeper, why are there still disciples in your store?" ”
The big guy at the counter, Bu Da, quit: "This young lady, except for a few of us guys in the store, they are all in the counter, so they won't be disrespectful to you, right?" Outside the counter are full of customers, who doesn't? This bad guy doesn't have any writing on his head, how do we know? Just be careful. ”
"You!" The little girl's face was flushed with anger, but she had to admit that the big man was right.
The skinny monkey is just to muddy the waters and create a little chaos. He paid a few local ruffians to rub the little girl's oil and eat other people's tofu in the crowd. Just now, the little girl's ass was pinched.
"Mother, who is this, how do you prick people with needles?" Another little girl screamed.
"Hey, hey! It hurts to death! "This time it was a man's movement. Everyone looked over, and it was a young man with a crooked nose, whose arm was twisted behind his back, and he was sweating in pain.
"Just this kid, pinch someone's little girl." The nimble guy said loudly.
As long as you are a decent person, you can't see this kind of dirty behavior. I don't know who shouted: "Fight!" Shoot him! Then there was a punch and kick that knocked the sub-three to the ground, and the others followed suit.
"Oh no, no, the officers and soldiers are here and surround the shop!"
Everyone stopped kicking and beating, and their hearts said that this time Nalan shopkeeper is going to be in trouble! I saw a young officer in a military uniform enter the door of the store and clasped his fist at Donggui: "Shopkeeper Nalan, we are ordered to maintain order." Now we have caught a disciple who molested a woman, and we will take it away. ”
"This military master, please stay, I don't know what to call it yet."
"Oh, I'm thinking it's Xiao Qi School Director Ekun."
"Thank you, Master Jun, for pressing the field. This little money was given to the brothers to drink tea. ”
"This won't work! We can't accept it, so you're welcome, let's go. "This is still an officer, very kind. After that, he took a few soldiers to stand guard outside the door, they were here to maintain order for Donggui.
Nalan politely clasped his fists and saluted: "Thank you, Master Jun, for your hard work." ”
Everyone was still stunned when they heard a loud shout outside: "Where is Nalan Donggui?" ”
Someone smashed the field again! Donggui hurriedly went out, only to see more than a dozen people from the Imperial Forest Army wearing yellow coats, surrounded by a white-haired bearded old man who came down from a green sedan chair and stood outside the door very imposingly. Donggui "sighed" in his heart, why are all the eunuchs in the palace here?
"Which one is the shopkeeper of Nalan Donggui?" The old eunuch asked in a long voice.
"Down there is Nalan Donggui, may I ask who you are ......?"
"Our family is Pan Jingnian, the eunuch in charge of the palace internal affairs office, and in accordance with the holy decree of today, I will send a golden plaque to the shopkeeper of Nalan, and ask the shopkeeper of Nalan to accept the decree!"
Nalan's heart was beating wildly, but his mind was still clear, and he shouted to the people present: "Kneel!" Receive the emperor's decree! ”
"Huh? O holy decree, my mother! "Everyone knelt down unevenly like dumplings, which was actually kneeling together. Who dares to stand before the Divine Decree?
"......, Nalan Donggui, the newly opened store Tong Su is not bullied, fair trade, won the hearts of the people, I have a plaque with the title of my relatives, and Nalan Donggui is allowed to do business for me, if there are unscrupulous people who dare to come here to gather people to make trouble, they will be sent to the Criminal Department, and they will be sent to the Ministry of Justice!"
"Grass people Nalan Donggui bowed to thank the emperor for his holy grace! Long live the emperor, long live, long live! ”
"Nalan shopkeeper, please get up, please take the plaque from Nalan shopkeeper."
Nalan hurriedly stepped forward and took the plaque with his buddy Buda. Then he handed the old eunuch a piece of silver for ten taels, and whispered, "Father-in-law, let's have a cup of tea." ”
The old eunuch was not too little, and took it with a smile: "Thank you, thank you, our family has to go back to the palace to resume their lives and say goodbye." ”
"Congratulations to my father-in-law!"
After the eunuch and the soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army left, Nalan Donggui said, "Buda, hurry up and buy firecrackers, go to my second brother on the way, and bring the lion Yangge over. ”
Watching the lively people stand on the street, the emperor gave a plaque, and it was Nalan Donggui who was born in a commoner, which is a great honor. The plaque is covered with red silk and can only be lifted after it has been hung.
King Rui's Mansion is not far from here, and his own soldiers, plus the guards of the palace, the eunuchs, the drum band, the Yangge team, and the lions even ran and led the ground to come. The pro-soldier manager took the initiative to serve as the master of ceremonies: "Music, lion dance!" ”
The sound of suona and the jumping of golden lions are a happy scene.
"Hang a plaque!" As soon as Nalan Donggui beckoned, gongs and drums, Yangge, and golden retriever literacy came on the field, firecrackers exploded, smoke rose, and the air was filled with the smell of explosives and a festive atmosphere.
Unveiled the red silk, the black lacquer and green characters "Nalan Department Store" were revealed, and the bright red imperial seal "Shunzhi Imperial Treasure" was hung above the gate. The crowd applauded.
"Shopkeeper Nalan, don't you say a few words?" Suo Qing smiled and prompted.
Nalan went up the steps and saluted everyone: "Fathers and fellow villagers in the capital, I, Nalan Donggui, never dreamed that the emperor would be able to give the imperial plaque. This mighty imperial grace will never be forgotten! Nothing else, my small shop still pursues the creed of small profits and quick turnover, and children are not bullied, in order to bring convenience to the parents and elders in the capital! Thank you!"
The crowd applauded again. It is really rare to see the common people get the emperor's imperial gift with their own eyes, and I will catch up with it today. Everyone was as excited as Nalan.
Among them, many people who are good at thinking pondered: "This Nalan Donggui is not an idle person, he is an imperial merchant at such a young age." Maybe some of his relatives are in high positions in the court. ”
