Wan Qiaozhen smiled and said, "No, I don't like to worry about it, it's good." However, I approve of your arrangement of Yu Yan and Sister Caiyu. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "I also have an arrangement for you." ”

Wan Qiao asked curiously, "What arrangement?" ”

Chen Wenhui said: "After the Chinese New Year, I want to go to the northwest with Chongyi. When I got there, the crown prince and the emperor, let us develop the northwest, and I thought about running a business in that place in the northwest. Among them, this is a big deal with the Hu people. The Hu people are very fond of our porcelain in the Central Plains. There must be a lot of demand, and this profit is not low. You go back and talk to your mother-in-law, she must be interested. ”

Although Wan Qiaozhen doesn't care about these family business things, she understands it every day, and she understands it a little, and when she hears it, she knows that this is another big business, and she can't help but smile and say: "As soon as I tell my mother-in-law about this, my father-in-law and mother-in-law will definitely agree to go immediately." This is not another opportunity for our family to grow. That's one more credit to me. Wen Hui, you are really my nobleman. ”

Chen Wenhui said with a smile: "It is normal for sisters to help each other. If you go to the northwest to operate and make money, won't you be able to drive the economic development of the northwest? It's called reciprocity. ”

Then the two chatted a little more, Wan Qiaozhen was very curious about Zhao Chongyi, Chen Wenhui described it to her, and also said what she had told Lan Caiyu before about her mother-in-law Mrs. Zhao blocking her, Wan Qiaozhen laughed and was about to fall to the ground, saying: "You are really a narrow ghost, you can come up with such an idea." Your husband and wife are out of Beijing to play, and your mother-in-law is probably still fighting with those two cooks in the capital. ”

Chen Wenhui also couldn't stop laughing. This time. A maid came in and asked, "County Lord, the second master said that it was not early, and Gongzi Cao was going to take Grandma Cao back together." ”

Chen Wenhui realized that time passed so quickly, it was already night. I couldn't help but say, "Then I won't keep my sister, remember to be there early tomorrow." Let's have a good chat with our sisters. ”

Wan Qiaozhen hurriedly agreed, and went out to return home with her husband.

When I returned home, I found that my mother-in-law and father-in-law had not rested. Waiting for them. The two of them hurriedly went to the room to say goodbye to their parents.

Mrs. Cao looked at Wan Qiaozhen and found that Wan Qiaozhen's expression was happy. Just know. The sisters must have had a good chat this time, and they couldn't help but feel relieved. Actually, she was a little worried. Back then, when Wan Qiaozhen and Chen Wenhui got acquainted. Chen Wenhui is just a girl from the county order. But. Now she is already a county lord, a first-class official of the imperial court, and the governor of Nanyang. The power under his command is monstrous, and the money is innumerable, can he still look at a businessman like the Cao family.

However, from Wan Qiaozhen's bright face, Mrs. Cao let go of her heart, and couldn't help but secretly admire, Chen Wenhui is rich and does not forget her old friends, and this heart is very good.

Mrs. Cao asked, "How are you going to talk?" ”

Wan Qiaozhen didn't answer, and looked at Cao Linxiang. On the way, Wan Qiaozhen had already told Cao Linxiang what Chen Wenhui told her about going to the northwest to sell porcelain. Cao Linxiang was very happy and said that this is a big deal, and if it is done well, it may be compared with the profits of sea trade. Wan Qiaozhen was taken aback, can there be such a big profit? Doesn't that mean that Chen Wenhui sent a mountain of gold to her husband's family. Thinking of this, Wan Qiaozhen couldn't help but thank Chen Wenhui again.

Cao Linxiang couldn't suppress his excitement and said to his parents: "Lord Zhao is handsome, his conversation style is excellent, he has no arrogance at all, and he insists on arguing with his son's peers." Very kind. Qiaozhen also had a good conversation with the county lord. Lord Zhao also asked me to go to Beijing or go to the northwest in the future, and he must find him, saying, I am a friend, he has identified. ”

Mrs. Cao was very happy and said, "That's good, it is very beneficial for our family to be able to tie up with Lord Zhao." ”

Cao Linxiang said: "In addition to this, the county lord also sent us a great fortune. ”

Master Cao was immediately interested and asked, "What is the great wealth?" ”

Cao Linxiang hurriedly said: "The county lord said that she and Lord Zhao will be sent to the northwest by the imperial court to preside over the overall situation in the future. They want to develop the northwest, communicate with the Hu merchants, and when the time comes, they can let us do the porcelain business to the northwest. ”

As soon as he said this, Master Cao and Mrs. Cao were moved. Master Cao couldn't help but say: "If you really do business with the Hu merchants, the profits will be very high." Those Hu people like our porcelain from the Central Plains. Ordinary porcelain can be exchanged for gems with the Hu people. It's a mountain of gold. ”

Mrs. Cao said: "Not only the Hu people, but also those tribes in the northwest grassland. In the past, when the barbarians were there, our porcelain and silk from the Central Plains, and tea were the best-selling things there. Often a large porcelain bowl can be changed for a sheep. If we can really do business in the northwest, the market will be big and the profits will be large, and we can compare with overseas markets. Didn't our Cao family once again usher in an opportunity to make a fortune? ”

Master Cao thought about it and said: "This trade route has always been very profitable. But why don't we, the porcelain merchants of Dachu, go there to do business? It's because the northwest is not peaceful. The barbarians are robbers, and they have blocked the trade routes. No one wants to go there to do business, and they can't give their lives there just to make a few bucks. But now, the barbarians have been defeated. ”

Mrs. Cao said: "Although the barbarians have been defeated, the tribes in the northwest grassland are like stars in the sky, which one is not as barbaric as the barbarians?" Who would dare to do business? However, it would be a different situation if Lord Zhao, who presided over the overall situation in the northwest, and the county lord were sheltered. Doesn't this mean that no other porcelain merchant can enter, only we can? Isn't this the same as giving us a mountain of gold? ”

After speaking, Mrs. Cao's eyes lit up when she looked at her eldest daughter-in-law. Qiaozhen, this child, is a blessed one. As soon as he entered the door, he added two grandsons, not to mention, but also through the relationship between Guò and the county lord to let the Cao family participate in the sea trade, how much income did it bring to the Cao family, it was really a silver mountain. Later, her cousin became the lord of Yizhou Island, and even opened their family's workshop to Yizhou Island, which was also very profitable. Now I plan to start a workshop in the country of Wakoku, and I will definitely be able to make money. After all, it was Qiaozhen's brother-in-law's territory.

Not to mention, now, she is going to bring a northwest business route from the county lord of Wenhui that is no less than the sea trade business, which is really a cash cow.

Wan Qiaozhen looked at her mother-in-law's gentle eyes on her and knew that she had made another contribution to the Cao family. It's all too easy to think about it.

Sure enough, Mrs. Cao said, "Master, we have to prepare now, we have to buy a few more workshops, or we can buy goods from other workshops, we can't produce so much ourselves." It is very important to organize the supply of goods, and when the county lord gives the order, we can start doing business in the northwest. Don't delay. ”

Master Cao hurriedly said, "What you said is true. Lin Xiang, you want to help me. ”

Wan Qiaozhen immediately smiled, this is the meaning of attributing this errand to their house.

Mrs. Cao didn't think it was enough to say: "By the way, Qiaozhen, I saw a set of pearl heads in the silver building a few days ago, they are all good, go back, I will ask Mama to bring it to you." It also looks better when you go out. ”

Wan Qiaozhen knew that set of pearl heads, or bought them in Wanjiayinlou, even Wan Qiaozhen, who was born in a jewelry family, was impressed by the exquisite workmanship of this set of pearl heads and the rounded color of those pearls. This set of jewelry cost her mother-in-law 2,000 taels of silver at once, and even when her mother-in-law bought it at that time, she thought about it for a long time. I didn't think about it, my mother-in-law didn't bring it yet, so I gave it to myself.

Wan Qiaozhen hurriedly thanked her mother-in-law.

Mrs. Cao said, "Let's discuss business matters again tomorrow." It's best that Lin Xiang will go to Lord Zhao tomorrow to ask for details. Qiaozhen should also go back to rest, dress up well tomorrow, you still have to attend the party. By the way, in order to thank the county lord, you bring another gift to the county lord. Well, what to bring? Ordinary things are only available to the county lord. ”

Wan Qiaozhen thought for a while and said, "We have already given gifts a few times in the past two days, and it is not interesting to give these ordinary gifts again." There is no shortage of jewels or anything, and the county lord is not lacking. But this thing is not too short for any woman. Since he was a child, the county lord didn't like to bring those cumbersome things, but every piece of jewelry is a boutique. And, never repeated, she has a lot of collections. Therefore, we can prepare a set of precious head noodles must be of high value, delicate and good style. But such a thing cannot be found in a hurry. ”

"This time, we might as well order it from my silver building, or transfer it from somewhere else, and send it to the county lord when he leaves. In addition to this, the county lord also has a hobby, she likes to draw and collect ancient paintings everywhere. Our family has a few ancient paintings, and my mother picked out two of them and gave them to the county lord together with the collected heads. This is a formal gift, thanks to the county lord. As for tomorrow, we're just partying, and it's not good to give too expensive things. Therefore, I think it would be good to send a set of our family's newly burned set of precious azure glaze this year and give it to the county lord. ”

Mrs. Cao and Master Cao immediately praised each other and said that this idea was good, and Master Cao hurriedly got up and went to find the set of precious porcelain. Mrs. Cao was also busy looking for head and face jewelry, on the one hand, she was still thinking, this house is just a small place to live, most of the things are not here, where is there anything good to paint? However, there are many good paintings hidden in the family, after all, those who make porcelain also have to paint, and the Cao family has accumulated wealth for many years, and there are still many precious collections. Wan Qiaozhen and Cao Linxiang saw that these were not helpful, so they quit and went back to rest.

The next day, early in the morning, the maid next to Wan Qiaozhen's mother-in-law had already sent the pearl head and precious porcelain to Wan Qiaozhen.

Wan Qiaozhen smiled and said to the maid beside her: "Take my pearl-gray dress and match it with such a luxurious pearl head." (To be continued......)
