Chapter 178: Gu Yulou is here!
Miss Wan's matter has slowly faded out of people's memories with time, and now the wives of Yongping City are more strict with their daughters' upbringing, so they are afraid that something ugly will happen and they will lose their face when the time comes.
Although Wan Jia is the richest man, he has no foundation in Yongping City, and he has nothing but silver, so those young ladies from the squire's family or the petty official family are now more difficult than before, and they basically don't go out of the door. The wives of the family are strict, and the ladies don't want to ruin their reputation because of a little thing.
Wanjia has also become a laugh of the people of Yongping City, even if Miss Wan is sent away, it is difficult for Wanjia to squeeze into the high society of Yongping City. Sometimes you don't have silver, you have status, and identity is not something that silver can buy.
Master Wan and Mrs. Wan had to close their doors, looking forward to stopping for half a year, maybe everyone's prejudice against Wanjia would not be so deep. When the time comes, let's say goodbye to other young ladies, but you can't marry the girls low.
Liu Yue saw that there were fewer and fewer ladies who came to the shop to make clothes, and she knew that the family must not let the ladies come out alone, so she let the embroidery girls come to serve. Take the fashionable clothes in the shop to the houses, show them to the ladies and wives, and then measure the size, and then you can directly make the clothes and send them to the houses.
In this way, not only do the ladies not go out, but they can know what style of clothes are fashionable now, and even if they don't go out, the ladies hope that they will not be outdated. Therefore, Yueniang Embroidery's service is very good, but there are not enough people, and Liu Yue began to accept appointments.
The maids from each province came to set the date first, and then Liu Yue arranged the time to go to each province, and then assigned a suitable embroiderer. In fact, other shops have had this kind of service before,
But at that time, the ladies and ladies loved to go out and shop in person, not only to buy things, but also as a relaxation, and this woman loved to go shopping and buy things. It's either rouge gouache or clothes and jewelry, and no one is an exception.
Even the daughters of ordinary families, even if they can't afford to buy clothes made of expensive fabrics, they will try it at Yueniang Embroidery Village, at least they can dream.
But now I can't go out, or the elders in the family are strict, and the number of times I go out is obviously less, so the fun of buying clothes and jewelry is less.
However, girls who do not love beauty, I heard that they can see fashionable clothes, and they can try them on at home, and then make ready-to-wear clothes and send them to the house. Naturally, I am very happy, it is better than doing those ordinary styles, at least you can see the style of ready-to-wear, and choose what you like.
Although Liu Yue and Gu Xiuniang knew that this was only temporary, in order to do business, there were not enough manpower, so they had to hire another person now.
Liu Yue is still busy every day, so busy that Liu Yue doesn't even have time to think about Nangong Ming, and that Mrs. Hua is extremely difficult, she loves to talk to Liu Yue for a long time every time, and inquire about Liu Yue and HSBC. Liu Yue was very annoyed, but she had to deal with it for the sake of business.
Liu Yue knows that people sometimes have to pretend to be stupid, and they have to make themselves smart to deal with anyone, if a little thing will affect their mood, they will be too much of a failure.
Although Mrs. Hua was a little dissatisfied with Liu Yue, she didn't say anything unpleasant, but this girl played Tai Chi so well that she couldn't take it without revealing her tone at all.
If you try to test it like this, I'm afraid that no matter how thick-skinned you are, you won't be able to stand it. It's just that Liu Yue's embroidery business is really good, and people from her husband's family also have the intention of wooing. But Liu Yue's shop directly makes HSBC's cloth, but in fact, the cloth can't be mixed in at all.
But it's reasonable to think about it, people can only cooperate with Huibu when they make HSBC's cloth, if any cloth village can be involved, can it still get the support of HSBC?
Mrs. Hua didn't have a good mouth to open her mouth about this matter, in addition to feeling that she couldn't open her mouth, and the person who mentioned this matter was only a family that was not very prosperous, and Mrs. Hua didn't need to speak for such a person who couldn't please her.
Liu Yue is now busy with the new shop, just to read the account books sent by Kangcheng, and sent a letter back a few days ago to let her father and mother come over to play.
It's also that Liu Yue really misses her father and mother, and she has been away from home for a few months, and now Liu Yue misses her father and mother so much, and misses her own small yard! Calculate the day, tomorrow my father and mother should arrive, Liu Yue directly vacated a room in the backyard for my father and mother to live, Liu Cheng still had to study in the academy, so he didn't let Liu Cheng follow.
But when his father and mother came, Gu Yulou actually came, and Liu Yue knew from Zhang's mouth that Gu Yulou himself insisted on following. said that he was not worried about the safety of his father and mother on the road, but in fact, he just wanted to come and see Liu Yue.
The Zhang family actually liked Gu Yulou in his heart, and he saw that his daughter was not very good at Nan Ming before, so he thought that seeing Gu Yulou standing there as warm as jade, Liu Yue felt that he no longer had the slightest throbbing at the beginning.
In addition to hoping that he can find a better girl, I just wish him to be able to go to high school, and when the time comes, I am afraid that the daughters of the official families in the capital will compete to marry the champion!
It seems that Liu Cheng's mouth must be not tight, and he said something, which made Gu Yulou pull down his face to see himself! Because Gu Yulou came, Liu Yue had to arrange him for an inn, but he was a little wronged by the eldest son of the Gu family.
Zhang's looked at his daughter's new shop was magnificent and big, and he was very happy, his daughter was really good! It's just that there are really some things to trouble Yue'er this time, and Zhang himself doesn't know how to speak.
In the evening, the family had dinner in Yueniang Embroidery Village, and Gu Yulou was naturally on the table, and the dishes were all made by the chef of Embroidery Village. The light and refreshing taste Liu Yue also likes it, in fact, after Nangong Ming left, Liu Yue didn't feel what to eat for a long time, just instinctively eating.
Zhang saw that his daughter had obviously lost a lot of weight, and he felt distressed, and he wanted to stay and take good care of his daughter for a few days. But after seeing the room that the girl arranged for herself and Liu Zhu to live in, the Zhang family could only feel distressed, this backyard was not small, but there were so many embroidery girls living there, it was a little crowded.
Not only is it inconvenient to stay here with Liu Zhu, but you also have to worry about your daughter.
Liu Zhu and Zhang's had Gu Yulou to take care of them along the way, but it was not very difficult, because there were a few tables on the side, all of which were embroidery girls in the shop eating, so everyone didn't say anything, and quietly ran out of food, and Liu Yue personally helped Liu Zhu and Zhang's back to the house to rest.
Gu Yulou was waiting for Liu Yue in the courtyard, but in fact, he didn't know why he had to come to see her. But when he saw her, seeing that she was busy, she had to take care of her father and mother, and she had to be busy with business, and she didn't have time to talk to herself, Gu Yulou felt a little lost.
However, Liu Yue, who is so serious and can endure hardships and is smart, Gu Yulou can't let go of it in his heart.
Gu Yulou hopes that his wife is such a woman, not an unbearable woman who only conspires and calculates, only fights for jealousy, and only spends money to buy clothes and jewelry.
But Liu Yue had already rejected herself before, obviously she was unwilling, so she had to try again, hoping that she could impress Liu Yue.
That's why he cheekily followed Zhang and Liu Zhu to Yongping City, so in Gu Yulou's dictionary, he would never let himself indulge himself so much for a woman! Seeing that I have to go to the capital at the beginning of spring, I should study hard now.
Liu Yue was in Zhang's arms, feeling so tired and tired, she wanted to cling to her mother like this. Zhang touched Liu Yue's hair and whispered to Liu Yue about family matters, when it came to the eldest daughter,
Zhang still couldn't hold back: "Something happened to your eldest brother-in-law's family, my mother thought about your sisters, and you had to help each other when you were in trouble, so I brought your father here in person, one is to miss you, and the other is that your eldest sister is not good at opening her mouth for this matter, so our second elder will help her open her mouth!" ”
When Liu Yue heard that something had happened to her eldest sister's family, she was worried, and hurriedly said: "Mother, you don't know that I am close to my eldest sister, what happened to my eldest sister's family, as long as Yue'er can help, I must take a hand!" ”
Zhang's knew that the second daughter was emotional, looked at Liu Zhu sitting next to him, and sighed: "Your eldest brother-in-law has chartered the furniture of a rich family, but I didn't expect that when your eldest brother-in-law's people finished their work, the family suddenly ran away." All the things in the house and the house, even the people in the house, were sold to others overnight.
The furniture that your second brother-in-law picked up was all fine mahogany furniture, and dozens of workers helped make it for more than three months. This salary is not scary, your second brother-in-law himself also pasted in some material fees first, thinking that it was introduced by an acquaintance.
There will definitely be no problem, those little things will go in with their own silver first. And the family said that they would settle the money when it was finished. These months are the off-season, and there are few people who make furniture, so those craftsmen are all pointing to the wages of these three months to survive?
Your eldest brother-in-law took out all his money in a hurry, and he could only pay part of his wages in advance, and there was still a hundred taels of silver missing?
And the salary that was said at that time was also high, and your eldest brother-in-law had no choice but to make up for the big guy according to that salary. But this is a bitter thing for your eldest sister, not to mention that all the family funds saved over the years are gone, and you still owe a lot of silver.
My mother gave fifty taels of silver, and there was still fifty taels of silver, and your eldest sister refused to open her mouth to you. Mother can't see it, so she helped your eldest sister open her mouth. ”
Liu Yue knew that there were many such things, and there was no way to report to the official, but the family bought all the houses and furniture at once, and they must have been ready to run away a long time ago. The second brother-in-law is kind-hearted, and it is indeed possible for people to calculate like this, but now the eldest sister is afraid that she will die of sadness.
The eldest sister has two children since she started, and she is reluctant to eat and drink, so she wants to save more money for her son's study in the future. But now it's all gone, and I still owe this silver, which is really bad enough.
Liu Yue directly took out a hundred taels of silver tickets from her body, and said sincerely: "Mother, you can send this hundred taels of silver to the eldest sister, and your fifty taels should be used by the eldest brother-in-law to revive the family business, but don't lose confidence because of this incident, and you won't dare to take over the job in the future."
The eldest sister is a strong one, but you have to inform me earlier! No matter how difficult it is for me, I can't ignore my eldest sister!
I will personally write a letter to Mrs. Lin and ask Mrs. Lin to mention it to the prefect, even if I can't catch someone, I can't make the black-hearted person feel better. As long as he leaves a record in the government, he will always be able to find it in the future, unless his family disappears. ”
Zhang took the silver, and felt even more sorry for the second daughter, who was wandering out alone, but the money she earned was tossed for family affairs. The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, even if the Zhang family feels sorry for the eldest daughter, at this time, they feel that the second daughter is even more rare. RS
