237 Accidental marriage
I saw that this Ji family has outstanding appearance, a small goose egg face, apricot eyes and peach cheeks.
Although after seeing Xu Niangzi's beauty, this lady in charge is nothing, but after all, Han Niangzi is the internal manager of a wealthy businessman, and several masters in the family have official status.
She followed the old lady and didn't know how many eunuchs she had seen.
As soon as she looked at the expression and demeanor of this season's lady, she knew that she was indeed a woman who had seen the world in the capital.
The clothes and jewelry on her body are also the style of the southern capital.
I don't know what luck I had, but I was able to marry the Loufu from Hanlin.
Ji Qingchen chatted with her for a few words, and guessed that the female steward of the Han family did not know her origin.
Han Fu didn't know that she had the county lady's decree on her.
This female guest only came to visit when she heard that she was the elder sister of the Ji gang leader.
Because Lou Yun had mentioned Jiangxi tea merchants, Ji Qingchen inquired about some things one after another.
She originally wanted to find someone she knew to introduce her and take the initiative to make friends with the Han Mansion, but she didn't expect them to automatically send it to the door.
She didn't remind the steward, but listened to what she meant.
"My lord has long heard of the name of the Ji gang leader in Shanyang, and he also knows that the Xiongfeng Gang here has united the donkey and horse and cart gangs in the four counties of one state, as well as the officials and military attaches in the border fortress and the fort have been crowding out the noble gang. Although the Ji gang leader is not afraid of these small nights, the so-called people die for money, birds die for food, and the gang members follow the gang leader just for food and clothing, why should they be nostalgic for this Shanyang City? ”
Han Niangzi said it tactfully, Ji Qingchen listened to her words, but he was impressed by the Han family.
It turned out that the Han family wanted to recruit the Xingsheng Boat Gang and let them join the Han family's name.
Boat gangs can't be used locally. can develop to the Yangtze River, and help his family monopolize the tea business by transporting goods for the Han family. They can drive the ship to the Yangtze River wharf.
At least in the Jiangxi area, no one will dare to exclude them if there is Hanfu.
"It seems that your business is not small."
Ji Qingchen smiled.
Lao Siniang, who was standing behind her, heard the meaning of "solicitation". I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The Xingsheng Boat Gang is a boat gang that has just emerged in the past two or three years, and that's right.
The style of San Lang and the Xu brothers does look like a brutal outlaw water rivers and lakes.
The foundation on the waterway is not as good as the major Cao gangs on the Yangtze River.
It can't be compared with the wealthy merchant Han Mansion.
But when it comes to backing, Ji Chenhu's backing is far tougher than the Han family.
It's just that the eldest lady hasn't made a sound.
"I also wanted to visit Master Han for a long time, because of the war in the imperial court, it was inconvenient to travel, so it was delayed."
She hinted that she was interested in the business.
She knows a thing or two about the details of the Han Mansion.
Master Han's father, when he was young, was also a little tea guest.
Tea customers carry tea bags on their backs and walk on a hundred miles of dirt roads to sell tea, earning dozens of dollars per catty of tea.
In order to earn more. Of course, it is necessary to buy and sell illicit tea.
Han Fu is just a private tea dealer.
is a good match with her Ji family.
"It's just that I heard that the tea leaves of Hanfu are all from Jiangxi tea farms, and they can't pass through Chuzhou as a rule. It's not easy to do business. It may be appropriate to pull some business from the Taihu Lake Tea Farm near the capital. ”
"The eldest lady is right. But the profit of selling tea is the thickest on the border. If it can be sold to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, it will trade with Dali and Tubo. Taihu Tea Farm is nothing. ”
Han Niangzi was extremely calm, knowing that the more she bargained like this, the more interested she became.
The housekeeper hesitated slightly when she said that after selling tea to Waiyi. He politely mentioned it and said:
"My lord admires Lord Lou's official reputation, and he has never had the opportunity to meet him. The chief steward also knew that this time he took the liberty of coming to the door to offer ugliness. ”
Ji Qingchen smiled silently.
Han Fu inquired about her betrothed family before coming to the door.
If you want to sell tea to Southwest Yi, how can you not deal with Lou Yun first.
"That being the case. I'll just get straight to the point. ”
She said a few words lightly, and after saying her request, Han Niangzi was surprised but also smiled and agreed.
"That's it. I dare to answer the big lady here. But there are rules in the house. I'm going to have to go back and say goodbye. ”
Ji Qingchen smiled and nodded.
She knew that her difficulty was in the eyes of Han Fu. It's a trivial matter, but she's solved a problem after all.
The housekeeper is very well-behaved. Seeing that she made few requests, I knew that this was just an advance condition.
She didn't dare to ask Ji Qingchen to introduce Lou Yun to Master Han.
After greeting Lord Lou repeatedly, she left Qinglong Temple with her companions.
Seeing that the figure was gone, Lao Siniang presented Ji Qingchen with a bowl of warm and cool osmanthus soup, not only shook her head and said:
"There is still a war on the Yangtze River, but their family is busy saving up their family business."
Ji Qingchen had seen a golden man like Shu Luyuan who sold horses to the Great Song Dynasty, and now he didn't feel strange when he saw Han Fu like this, so he only smiled:
"If he can come, it means that the Song army on the Yangtze River is victorious. Isn't that a good thing? ”
Lao Siniang thought so, but said:
The Han family relied on the suppression to plot against the source of goods in the Jiangxi tea farm, and recruited small boat gangs everywhere to form their own fleet to transport goods. Their family values Lord Lou so much, but they are afraid that they want to use Lord Lou's connections in Southwest Yi to monopolize the tea business of Rongchang - it looks like the original momentum of our Tang Fang. ”
"Unless their family is surnamed Zhao, there is such a good thing there."
After that, Ji Qingchen summoned Ji Mo and asked him to secretly follow him to inquire about the Han family's current residence.
As a result, the Han steward lived in the Wei family in the south of the city.
"Wei Mansion?"
Ji Qingchen was a little surprised.
The Wei Mansion is only three streets away from the Ji Mansion, in the same Juyi Fang.
"According to the legal system of the imperial court, the utensils used to hold tea must be official products. What Wei Fuli is doing is a private business separated from the tea bags and tea cans of the official shop, and it has been transported out by water. There is no conflict with Saburo's business. So I have a good relationship with our family. The goods of the Wei Mansion are very small in Shanyang City. ”
She remembered what Xu Shuqing had said to her, laughed, and said:
"I also wondered who their official tea bags were sold to. It turned out that he had already joined the Han family. ”
She put her heart down and sent a message to Boss Xu, who stayed at the entrance of the altar, and several Nanfang leaders to come over.
After seeing the ceremony, she asked them if they were willing to marry a woman from Jiangxi on the throne, and said:
"I know that you don't look down on the daughters of ordinary local families, so you didn't get married. The men who came out of our Tang Fang are not only dancing knives and sticks, but also literate and settling accounts. I learned a little bit of stuff. You should have been given some daughters who can read and write and have families......"
As for what they were messing around outside, she didn't say anything more.
After San Lang reined in, the brothers in the gang were caught by him to practice every day, so they naturally followed.
When San Lang picked her up in Xuyi, he also reminded:
"Sister, you have to find a wife for them. Otherwise, it won't be long before it's the same. (To be continued......)
