Guo Pandi saw Guo Qiao's clothes, which were so rare.

When I heard that it was woven by Qingdu, I immediately shouted to teach her.

Wu and Ruan on the side were stunned, and then they remembered the trouble of attracting attention.

Ruan was thinking about how to reply, when he heard the dumb voice: "Will you go to Islam?" ”

Guo Pandi twisted his body and said embarrassedly: "I'm not familiar yet." ”

She understood the meaning of being dumb: greedy and chewy.

She has only been learning brocade for less than two years, where can she design it herself like Qingdu.

Seeing that she no longer insisted, both Wu and Ruan breathed a sigh of relief.

Because someone came again, Qingdue took Guo Pandi upstairs to sit.

Guo Pandi whispered to her that Li Hongzao and Zhang Futian had gone home for the New Year. The Zhang family and the Li family are very ostentatious in front of people, saying that they make a lot of money in the city.

"Sister Qingdu, if you go, you will definitely earn more than red dates. What is her craft! ”

Brother Pan puffed up and trampled on Li Hongjujube.

Because Li Hongjuo vaguely told people that Zhang Futian didn't like to be dumb, so he got along with her. Brother Pan didn't dare to tell him this, and he was angry.

Qing Du didn't want to talk about this topic, so he asked, "What about cress?" ”

Guo Pandi shook his head and said, "I don't know." At home. Of course, I'll come to greet my aunt first. Why don't we go to her? ”

Dumb shook his head.

She didn't want to go to someone else's house.

Guo Pandi approached her again and said a secret, "Shui Qin Niang wants to marry your family." ”

Seeing that Qing was dumbfounded, she added: "It's the third brother, you're expensive." ”

Dumb and dumb, I understood that Chen Shuiqin's family had taken a fancy to Guo Dagui.

"My mother said, the eldest aunt is not happy."

Guo Qingdue felt weird, as a younger sister, why hadn't she heard of this.

Just thinking about it, there was another person below, it was Yang Anping's daughter-in-law who brought her sister to kowtow and thank you.

The girl is mostly busy at home, so Guo Pandi has never seen the little sister, and after listening to the call of "little sister and little sister" below, after figuring it out, he laughed and said: "Little sister? It's really a little girl! Thin girl! A gust of wind can blow it away. ”

Qiao'er laughed along, only she was dumb and didn't make a sound.

Her cousin was gossiping, and before she knew it, it was noon.

The men of the Guo family had dinner at Lizheng's house, and the Wu family left Guo Pandi to eat.

After a day of mixing like this, it was the second day of the new year, and the sky was clear.

Early in the morning, Guo Daquan and his family were busy going to Maozhuwu.

As soon as Cai's mother's family came, there were two mother and son left, and it was reasonable for the son-in-law to visit as soon as possible; Second, although Jiang Minghui said that he would come to Guo's house on the second day of the new year, what if there was an unexpected situation? Guo Daquan and his family went to Maozhuwu for a trip, and they had a good idea in their hearts, anyway, they would come back in the evening, whether Jiang Minghui came or not, and they couldn't delay it.

He took Guo Qin and Guo Jian with his family, and shook his own canopy boat to Maozhuwu.

Ruan told his mother's family a few years ago that a new relative would come to his door this year and he would return to his parents' house later.

Wu was very satisfied with her knowledge, and said that she would let her go back to her parents' house for a few days after the tenth day of the junior high school.

In the afternoon, Jiang Minghui came.

Wearing a lake blue brocade dress made for him by the dumb, he is very handsome.

Seeing the mute sitting in the sun at the door, reflecting the snow on the roof behind him, as quiet as a beauty painting, his eager mood precipitated, revealing a smile as bright as the sun.

With him, the days of sitting and eating and drinking are also full of fun.

Still silent as before, but watching him and Qiao'er funny, looking at her from time to time, making a look, and asking her with a smile and asking her something that doesn't matter, how sweet and comfortable, I don't know if there will be worries tomorrow.

Guo Daquan's family of four arrived home when it was almost dark.

After dinner, Jiang Minghui, Guo Dagui, Qingdu and Guo Qin went to play games in the big expensive room, and he and Cai's told the rumors that they heard in Maozhuwu and told Sù Daddy and Guo Dayou that they were married, and Cai's indignantly added oil and vinegar to the side.

Guo Shouye's face sank when he heard this.

Wu Shi trembled with anger, "I know that the dead woman is restless!" ”

asked Cai again, "Why didn't she listen to you and your mother?" ”

The tone is rather resentful.

Cai Shi hurriedly said: "Oh mother, she wasn't like this in previous years!" ”

Guo Shouye said in a deep voice: "What's the use of saying this! People are good at being bullied, horses are good at being ridden, and they are not all in trouble with the Zhang family, they think we are in a hurry to marry our daughter. The mother-in-law of the Jiang family wanted to lose face, and she was cheap and obedient, and deliberately let people say it. ”

Guo Dayou and Guo Daquan glanced at each other and said, "I think it's money." ”

Guo Shouye and his wife both looked at him in surprise.

Guo Dayou said softly: "Dumb shouldn't paint those paintings for Minghui." ”

Wu was even more angry when he heard this.

She scolded Mrs. Jiang in her heart, blaming her for not knowing what to do.

Guo Daquan asked his younger brother: "You told Qingmu not to paint for him, did Qingdu listen?" ”

Guo Dayou nodded and said, "Listen, I don't paint anymore." ”

Guo Shouye saw Wu's eyes flickering, and knew that she wanted to be strong, so he solemnly advised: "Don't be like that Jiang mother-in-law, you don't know what to do, and you are dumb by mistake." Minghui is a good baby. Bear with it first, and when they get married in the future, let's think of a way to help them and let them live alone. Right now......"

He said in deep thought, and with his temper, he couldn't swallow it.

Guo Dayou interjected: "Let's not say anything at the moment. Before getting married, the dumb were not allowed to help Minghui draw the manuscript. If the business of the shop in the county town is good after it opens, the Jiang family will naturally ask to come to the door at that time; If the business is not good, there is no need to paint, and you can settle down freely. If the business is good, if they want to paint dumbly, they must put forward the conditions and make the words clear. When the time comes, it will be up to Mrs. Jiang to see how she is. ”

Guo Shouye, Wu and the others all had bright eyes and laughed when they heard this.

Ruan Shi said: "This method is good, and I force them to ask for it quietly." ”

Cai asked, "What if business is not good?" ”

Guo Daquan snorted and said, "Business must be good-just look at how Minghui is in the town." He only had a few good paintings a few years ago, and none of them looked the same! ”

Guo Dayou also nodded in agreement.

"That's all." Guo Shouye instructed, "Don't put on a face in front of Minghui. ”

And they all agreed.

Wu specially advised Cai: "You take care of your mouth, don't talk nonsense." ”

Cai Shi agreed again and again.

At the moment, everyone pretended to be fine, and did not tell Jiang Minghui.

The next day, the Guo family invited their relatives to come and have dinner with their new aunt.

Many people came, and during the banquet, Guo Lizheng and others praised Jiang Minghui again and again, making his face red. After drinking some wine, he ran out to the porch and said to the dumb, "The people in our village praise you for your good needlework and skill, and say that I am more decent than the rich boy in this dress." The expression was quite proud, and he had a rouge-like complexion, which had a unique charm.

Qingqing looked at him quietly, his eyes shining with joy.

Jiang Minghui felt itchy, both satisfied and a little inadequate.

Satisfied because of the beauty in front of you; The disadvantage is that it is afraid that it will be too short and pass too quickly. Because sighed: "Alas, I will go to the county seat in a few days." My dad and my eldest brother told me to go earlier. If you go, you can't come as often as you used to. ”

Qing Du wanted to say, "If the two love for a long time, how can it be in the morning and twilight", but habit dictated, I thought about it in my heart, but my mouth forgot to say it, but her eyes were softer than usual, but Jiang Minghui understood-she was comforting him.

"Do you miss me?" He asked.

Qingdun nodded without hesitation.

Jiang Minghui was even more happy.

People think that she is difficult to guess if she doesn't speak, and only he knows her innocence.

"I'll earn money with my heart, and I'll pick you up earlier."

He lowered his voice to her.

Dumb but shook his head.

This time, Jiang Minghui didn't understand what she meant.

But he didn't have time to ask, Guo Daquan came out and called him in.

※

Jiang Minghui stayed at Guo's house for three days, and was embarrassed to stay any longer, so he went back.

However, he only stayed at home for one night, and he couldn't stay up, so he came to Guo's house again under the pretext of pondering bamboo silk paintings with Qing Du.

This time, I stayed for another three days before I went back.

When you go, you are reluctant to give up.

He can't say enough in a thousand words.

Dumbness is a thousand words that cannot be spoken.

However, he still has to leave after all, and there are still many things waiting for him.

Almost as soon as he got on the boat, his thoughts began to surge.

When she got home, because she saw that he was empty-handed and didn't bring back a single drawing, Aunt Jiang was unhappy and asked him, and he said that he was dumb and busy, and he didn't have time to paint. The truth of what he said, the two of them didn't have time to whisper, where was the time to draw drawings!

Aunt Jiang was very angry and said that it would take as long as she painted a painting, and she would be busy like that.

Jiang Minghui was speechless when he heard it, and he was in a bad mood, so he didn't bother to tell her and avoided it.

Aunt Jiang was a little surprised, not knowing what the Guo family thought.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Jiang Minghui took his nephew Zhugen to Xiazhao County. The eldest and second eldest of the Jiang family also followed, because they had to escort the goods, and they also recognized the way by the way. I have to deliver it next time, and I will take this road often in the future.

The brothers arrived in a strange town with longing and anxiety.

Xiazhao County is not only a north-south thoroughfare, but also an important waterway town.

The imperial court set up a brocade office yamen here and opened a brocade conference, which was a matter of the Yingwu years.

Emperor Yingwu is a rare wise and wise emperor in history, and his eloquence far exceeds that of the monarchs of previous dynasties.

In that year, the Yamen of the Jin Department was controlled by the powerful, and the official Yamen became a place for the powerful to accumulate wealth, so he issued an order to abolish the official system and select the powerful and skilled Jin merchants from the people as the imperial merchants.

The Tapestry Conference was born.

It is human nature to pursue profits, and this cannot avoid collusion between officials and businessmen.

However, all the merchants of the world participated in the competition, and the result of the competition reached a delicate balance, breaking the situation of one dominant family, and the chief of the brocade department and the magnates could no longer arrange for anyone to take over the weaving business at will.

More than a dozen strong and skilled Jin merchants stood out and became imperial merchants. Below them, there are a number of second-rate and third-rate Jin businessmen, and if they are not careful, they will be replaced and become yesterday's yellow flowers. The upper level had to deal with the imperial court magnates and officials, and the lower level had to guard against peer competition, so everyone was conscientious and conscientious, walking on thin ice.

After a hundred years of wind and frost, several brocade merchants have become brocade families, with rich heritage.

Even the powerful people of the imperial court cannot shake their roots lightly.

Not only because each of them has an intricate relationship behind them, but also because compared with ordinary merchants, although they also seek profits, they have more connotations, enrich the roots with poetry and books, and improve the taste of brocade, which is not comparable to idle merchants.

Therefore, this is not a business that can be meddled in if you have money and power.

Xiazhao County gathers the world's brocade merchants, more and more prosperous, the nearby purple sand, lacquerware, bamboo and southern porcelain have gradually brought together, just to develop a small county town into an important town on land and water, its prosperity and wealth is not comparable to the state capital.

Jiang Minghui is like a drop of water, blending into this rich, prosperous and gentle township.

The drop of water did not disappear, but a small wave arose.
