Chapter 23: Meeting
Chapter 23 The old woman said something before meeting.
The rich will get richer and the poor will get poorer.
Spring flowers are now deeply convinced.
Money makes money.
The store has just been open for more than a month. Chunhua calculated, and the income was as much as sixty taels! In addition to the cost of this fabric, I also earned more than 20 taels.
Rong Yixuan's fabrics are more complete than those of other stores, and there are many valuable fabrics. The wealthy squires in the original county often went to Rongyixuan to order materials.
It must be a dozen horses. There are also many deposits that have been paid, but the balance has not been paid in full, and the spring flowers are not counted. To say, there is more to earn.
Thinking that the payment was not given, Chunhua was uncomfortable. It doesn't feel good to owe people money.
The total payment was one hundred and thirty-six taels. Xiao Yuecheng made the decision and wiped the six taels.
Now I can pay back half of the money.
Chunhua originally thought about when to go to Pingxian and settle part of the payment first.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yuecheng came in person.
The terrible spring flower was startled.
Xiao Yuecheng is actually not very relieved about the spring flowers.
When he sent someone to deliver the goods, he also instructed someone to investigate whether Chunhua and the Bi family had anything to do with each other.
Chunhua's younger sister works beside Mrs. Bifu, and Chunhua's little uncle works as a scholar next to the second young master of the Bi family.
That's fine.
The bait was scattered.
Xiao Yuecheng came back to close the net.
"Miss Chun'er, business is booming." Before the person arrives, the sound arrives first.
Xiao Yuecheng came in the door.
"Why is Miss Xiao here?" Chunhua hurriedly walked out from behind the counter, "Erya, bring a chair." ”
"No need." Xiao Yuecheng smiled and waved her hand, "I came to Yuan County to visit relatives, thinking that Miss Chun'er's shop is here, so I will come in and take a look." ”
"Our shop in Xiao Ji Buzhuang is not bad, right?"
Chunhua nodded: "It's very good." It's selling well. Miss Xiao still has relatives in Yuan County? ”
Xiao Yuecheng's expression seemed to be a little troubled: "It's not a relative, it's just an elder." My grandfather and I have been friends for many years...... It's just that it's been a few years since my grandfather died, and I haven't been in touch with this elder since. This time, I came to visit him, and I was afraid that I would make the elder unhappy. ”
"I don't know who the name of the elder you are talking about, maybe I know it." Chunhua said with a smile.
"Bi Liucheng, Master Bi." Xiao Yuecheng looked at Chunhua and said.
"Bi Liucheng? I haven't heard of it. Chunhua thought for a moment.
Xiao Yuecheng's smile was a little reluctant. After seeing the character behind her, he didn't want to hook up with her.
"However, I do know that there is a family with the surname Bi. I just don't know if there is a person named Bi Liucheng in his family. Chunhua said.
Xiao Yuecheng pressed her heart and asked, "Where does the family you said live?" ”
"It's the west of the original county, near the official road." Chunhua said, "There's a family there." ”
Xiao Yuecheng clapped her hands: "Coincidentally, it's that one." ”
"Miss Chun'er, you know that family. Can you help me? Xiao Yuecheng pleaded, "There is something in my grandfather's relics that I want to hand over to that elder." But if I go like this, I may not be able to enter Bifu. ”
Actually, it wasn't pleading, but the tone softened.
"I just know that there are such families." Chunhua smiled bitterly and said, "I can't help you." ”
Chunhua is very grateful to Xiao Yuecheng, if it weren't for Xiao Yuecheng, Chunhua's shop would have been closed long ago.
"I have a younger sister who works on an errand in Bifu, let me ask her to see if she can help you?" Chunhua said.
Xiao Yuecheng held Chunhua's hand: "Then thank you so much." ”
When Chunhua went to Bifu to help, she kept going through the back door.
After entering the back door, turn a few hallways to the laundry pool. Even when the eldest lady wanted to see her, she also lowered her head the whole time, and her eyes didn't dare to glance.
This is the first time that Chunhua has seen the gate of Bifu.
Two large stone lions crouched at the door.
The scarlet gate was closed.
The door is usually opened only when the host enters and exits, or when an important guest comes.
Chunhua and Xiao Yuecheng can only go through the corner door.
The corner door was ajar.
Chunhua knocked on the door: "Is anyone there?" ”
The door was fully opened: "Yes, yes." ”
An old woman in her forties opened the door: "Who are you looking for?" ”
"Hello auntie. I want to find someone, my sister Xia He is a maid in this mansion, do you think you can help me call her out? Chunhua said.
"It's Miss Xiahe." The old woman nodded her head in understanding, "Wait a minute, I'll let someone report it." ”
The old woman said a few words to another mother-in-law, and the mother-in-law smiled at Chunhua and left.
"Don't stand, you two, sit down and wait." The old woman brought a bench.
"Thank you, auntie." Chunhua and Xiao Yuecheng laughed.
It can be seen that Xia He is really good in Bifu, and the janitor's attitude towards them is so good, most of it is for Xia He's face.
After sitting for less than a stick of incense, Xia He arrived.
Spring flowers saw the swaying figure of Xia Lotus from afar.
Twisting around, it looks like something special.
Chunhua secretly snickered in her heart: Xia He is used to pretending.
"Mother-in-law District~" Xia He first greeted the janitor, "Thank you for entertaining my family." ”
"This is for you." Xia He stuffed a purse into the janitor's hand, "I'm stupid, I don't know anything, I can only let you get this copper stench." Don't be angry. ”
The janitor accepted it with a smile: "Thank you, Miss Xiahe." There's an empty room, and I've cleaned it up, so you sisters might as well go there and talk." ”
"Okay, I'm in trouble."
It is said to be an ear room, but it is bigger than the main house of the Ge family.
Tables and chairs were set up in it, and the three of them sat down. The district mother-in-law also poured tea.
"Xia He, this is Miss Xiao from Xiao Ji Buzhuang." Chunhua said.
"Hello Miss Xiao." Xia He had a polite smile on his face, "I heard my sister say that the fabric in her store is imported from Xiao Ji Cloth Village." ”
"Xia He, Miss Xiao has helped me a lot." "There's something she wants you to do you a favor." ”
"I'm just a little girl, and I'm soft-spoken, so I can't necessarily talk about things." Xia He said.
"You listen first, if you can't help it, forget it." Chunhua quietly took La Xiahe's hand.
Xia He was a little angry in his heart, his sister was very good, but she was nosy: "Then please talk to Miss Xiao." ”
"My grandfather and Mrs. Bi of your mansion have been friends for many years...... However, after my grandfather died, there had been no contact for several years. I have a letter here, which my grandfather asked me to pass on to Mrs. Bi. A few years ago, Mrs. Bi had been in Sioux City, and I didn't have a chance to send the letter. ”
"Then, do you want me to help you deliver the letter to the old lady?" Xia He asked.
Xiao Yuecheng shook her head: "I want to hand over the letter to Old Lady Bi in person." ”
Xia He almost dropped the table.
It's nice to say, what a friend for many years, who knows what's going on.
Don't say that she doesn't have this ability, but she has this ability to lead people to the old lady. This is not something that people can just pick up by casually repeating two sentences.
