Chapter 144: Spring Heart
Hearing the meaning of Wanning's words, Mother Tong opened her mouth wide, "Miss doesn't want to marry the Chen family?" ”
Wan Ning nodded, "If others can book me a family affair casually, I naturally have to think about it carefully." ”
Mother Tong's face was a little ugly, "The Chen family's relatives are the ones that the wife tries to get the master to give to the young lady." "At that time, my wife left Yao's house, but there was such a request.
"Why does my mother want me to marry into the Chen family?" Wan Ning turned her head and asked Tong's mother.
Needless to say? Tong's mother said: "That's because Chen Ge's hometown has a good family background, and after the young lady marries, she will have no worries about food and clothing, and she will be looked down upon, and the third master of the Chen family is also a talent." ”
"At that time, my mother knew that Chen Jiran was a talent?"
Hearing Wanning's question, Tong's mother was stunned.
Wan Ning rolled up her sleeves and looked at Tong's mother with a smile, "Whether it is worry-free food and clothing or a high look, you can't put your hopes on others, but rely on yourself, so that you can come safely, if in order to marry into the Chen family, now I will obey my father's orders, study at home all day, and be reluctantly carried to the Chen Mansion in the future, what is the difference between me and before?" ”
"As for what kind of person I will marry in the future," Wan Ning paused, "Mom, don't worry, I won't lose myself, and I will definitely marry a very good person." ”
Mother Tong's eyes moistened when she heard this, and nodded, "Miss is right, we went from Taixing to Beijing, selling refreshments and tea, all of which were made by Miss, and we didn't rely on anyone, and it will definitely be the same in the future." ”
Wan Ning put on her robe.
Mother Tong said: "The people ordered by the master are still following, we ...... Do you want to go to Shen's house? ”
Wan Ning shook her head. "Let's go to Uncle's house, say to He Danian outside, and let Jiao Wuying take someone to wait for me."
……
Along the way, Wan Ning has been thinking about Shangtun.
The rise of Shangtun was due to the fact that the cost of transporting grain was too large. The merchants were unprofitable, and the imperial court approved the storage of grain in the border gates, and if there were reclaimed merchants in Xuanhua Mansion to sell, it would indeed be a temptation for the Shen family.
From the time of the first emperor, the frontier war began to change from the northwest to the north, and the imperial court began to exchange silver for salt. If the Shen family still wants to continue Tuntian and rely on caravans to transport rice, they will have to grow grain in the northern towns.
My uncle was in a hurry to see Tuntian. I want to buy it early and plant it in the spring, otherwise it will be too late.
This is the experience of those who have worked as a merchant at the border gate.
It is not uncommon for a seller to spend a lot of energy to run a businessman. Some businessmen have withered through generations. Whether it is hiring people to cultivate or transport grain, it is difficult to support it, so it will be sold Tuntian, my uncle has bought such a commercial tun, and I feel a little sure in my heart, and there are also Shen family's tuntian in Xuanhua Mansion, but there are not many of them.
The key is whether this Yu family is reliable or not, Xuanhua Mansion is so far away from the capital, if there is anything wrong, no one will answer.
Arrived at Yao's house. Wan Ning went to salute Yao Yizhou.
Yao Yizhou was smiling and drinking tea, "This tea sells well." I've heard that several shops in Beijing are crowded. ”
It is foreseeable that this kind of tea brewing method will begin to spread in Beijing, and the process of making tea is very particular, especially the purple sand pot used to make tea, which no one has ever seen at all, but it can't brew that taste with an ordinary purple sand pot.
Yao Yizhou said: "Where are you the master who invited, how can you make such a thing." ”
Yixing purple clay pot is known to everyone in later generations, although there is already a purple sand pot similar to a clay pot here, but there is no real trace of Yixing purple sand pot, and the business opportunity is to walk in front of others.
Zhou Gaoqi said in "Yangxian Tea Pot Series" that Yixing purple clay pot: a pot weighs no more than two and is worth every twenty gold, which can make soil and gold compete for price.
She asked people to go to Yixing to find purple sand, and invited the master of making pots, although there are some twists and turns, but it is also smooth, as long as you start to do many things, you will find that it is not so difficult.
Wan Ning said: "Uncle likes it, I will have someone send it again in the future." ”
Yao Yizhou shook his head, "Where do you want to get so much, I know it's not easy for you to do it, now is the time to sell, and it is important to give it to the dignitaries in Beijing." ”
"What matters," Wan Ning said with a smile, "It really matters if your family likes it." ”
Looking at Wanning's stretched eyebrows, Yao Yizhou has a feeling of family happiness like a child around her knees, so her mother will like Wanning.
As he spoke, Jiao Wuying came.
Wan Ning and Jiao Wuying went to the room to talk.
"The new tea will not be leaked this time," said the shopkeeper Jiao, "We have checked several shops up and down." "Taking the opportunity of leaking the tea this time, I cleared out the work and the shopkeeper who ate inside and out, but before that, we must find out who these people are harming the Shen family.
"Just this chance," Wan Ning said, "to be watched." ”
Jiao Wuying nodded, "Miss, don't worry, since you already have eyebrows, you will definitely find out." ”
"Have you figured out which land your uncle is going to buy?"
Jiao Wuying said: "It's the Yu family's land in Xuanhua Mansion, last year the eldest lord of the Yu family died of illness, and after three months, the second master also died on the way to transport grain, and there were a bunch of women and children left in the family, and the two rooms were busy fighting for family wealth, and they didn't even plant land this year." ”
On the surface, it seems that the Yu family wants to sell the land because of the troubles at home.
Since it was a fight for family wealth, Wan Ning looked at Jiao Wuying, "You asked people to pretend to be businessmen and go to Yu's house to ask about the land price." ”
Jiao Wuying said: "Miss, don't worry, we have done such a thing in Taixing." ”
As soon as Jiao Wuying's words fell, Tong's mother hurriedly entered the house, "Miss...... Here it comes...... Here it ......."
"Who's coming?" Wan Ning asked.
Mother Tong waved the letter in her hand, "Miss, Mrs...... The lady is coming. ”
Looking at Mother Tong's appearance, Wan Ning suddenly guessed, "You said my mother is here?" ”
Mother Tong kept bowing her head, "Yes, the lady is here, and she will be able to enter Beijing in two days." ”
It was really the right time for my mother to come, and I am afraid that the letter she sent to Yangzhou would have gotten up before her mother arrived.
In the end, I can't worry about her, so it's okay, their mother and daughter are about to be reunited.
Wan Ning looked at Jiao Wuying, "Let He Danian go to meet my mother outside Beijing, and my uncle will inform me," she paused, "Let someone clean up my newly bought yard." ”
……
The Zhang family helped the eldest princess of Jianing draw patterns, and at the end of the year, she should make a purse so that she could reward the juniors in the family.
The eldest princess of Jianing picked up Zhang's painting and couldn't help sighing, "Look at you, absent-mindedly, a flower makes you draw two stamens, if I let people embroider according to this, the family will laugh when they see it." ”
Zhang's face suddenly turned red and put down the pen in his hand, "The eldest princess doesn't know yet, I have something in my heart......"
"What's the matter?" The eldest princess of Jianing said, "Don't always take it to heart, in the end, she still has to recognize you as a mother, and she will rely on you to marry in the future." ”
Zhang shook his head, "Our family's Seventh Miss is not an ordinary cabinet lady, and now no one in the capital knows Miss Yao Qi." ”
She heard about this, and the eldest princess of Jianing said: "I haven't had time to taste the tea, my old lady went to a banquet, and when she came back, she sent someone to buy a lotus leaf purple clay pot, but she hasn't bought it yet." ”
Hearing someone mention a purple clay pot, Zhang's eyelids will jump wildly.
Zhang pursed his lips, "Now everyone knows that the Yao family is going to make a fortune because of this, and the richest young lady in Beijing in the future will probably be the seventh lady of our family." ”
The words were angry and annoyed.
The eldest princess of Jianing said: "Okay, don't mention her if you don't want to say it, I don't know you for so many years of friendship, you are difficult to do in this matter, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, you also have to think about it, just like me, if you want to have this idleness, you haven't yet, and besides, the girl is thirteen years old is already the age to discuss marriage." ”
Zhang sat for a while before leaving.
The eldest princess of Jianing had a meal, sat down and put the patterns in her hands into the basket one by one, and instructed her subordinates to embroider carefully, and the most lively thing for the entire princess's mansion is probably the New Year.
Every year during the Chinese New Year, she has to send her purse out.
The year before last, I made eighteen, last year I made twenty-three, this year the second room added a son, the third room added two daughters, so that there are three more, and there are close relatives to send, it will be enough to make thirty to be enough.
She is the same every year, since she got married, the people around her have gone more and come less, and sometimes she thinks that maybe she is this fate.
Knowing what the eldest princess was thinking, Chenlu said, "Princess, don't think too much, maybe we won't have to make these purses next year." ”
"What nonsense......" Princess Jianing glanced at Chenlu with displeasure.
"The slave didn't talk nonsense, the queen mother said it, the emperor is thinking about you, you are the princess who was the most loved by the emperor, how can the emperor let you go on like this."
After getting married, live in a simple house? At first, she didn't feel anything, but her surroundings were a little colder, and then she ...... As long as at night she would feel that the yard was big and quiet and terrible.
As soon as the eldest princess of Jianing thought of this, Mother Hu came in and said, "Princess, someone is here." ”
The eldest princess of Jianing nodded, "Send the pen and paper I bought, and let him drink less with Chen Wenshi, Chen Wenshi is a rough man, he is not an opponent." ”
Mother Hu smiled and nodded, "Yes, it looks like I just want to listen to you." ”
……
The back door of the eldest princess's mansion in Jianing opened a crack, and a figure in a long robe was already waiting there, hearing a voice to greet her.
"Here's a pen and paper for you."
He reached out and took it.
"The eldest princess ordered, saying that Lord Chen is leading troops to fight outside, and he has a good wine smell, and now he is going to make up for the chief military officer of Xuanfu, it is inevitable that he will have two more drinks with you, and you should not be too real."
As he spoke, he looked into the courtyard and could faintly see a lamp swaying in the wind.
He nodded.
"The third master walks slowly."
Yao Yizhi turned around, and his appearance looked particularly gentle and elegant in the moonlight.
