The carriage went directly into the second gate, and Fang Chu hugged Qingqing down and sent him into the bedroom of the main courtyard.

After settling the mute, he came out and whispered to his younger sister: "Tell them to be careful, don't wake up the young grandmother." Tell the kitchen to prepare the stew and soup first, and wait for the young grandmother to wake up before making the rest. Don't disturb her about anything, wait until tomorrow. ”

The younger sister agreed one by one, and Fang Chu went to the front.

※

Qinglu felt that she was an ordinary person, but the arrival of her and Fang Chu set off a lot of waves in the capital, causing many people to pay attention.

Fang Chu ordered someone to go to the Xuanwu Palace, send Tuyi and pay respects, and the person who went brought back a message, saying that the old princess specially instructed him to take the Weaver Girl tomorrow.

The six princes and Lin Shizi met dumb in the palace, which was also deliberate.

From the afternoon, the porter has been receiving prayers.

In the hall on the east side of the Secluded Pavilion, Fang Chu sat upright, looking through the prayer posts, and listening to Steward Zhao's return to various affairs. After listening, he nodded slightly, and asked again, "What about Third Young Master Shen?" ”

He agreed with Shen Hanbing and let him live in the Secluded Pavilion as well.

Steward Zhao said: "The third young master will meet guests in the wing room. ”

Fang Chu raised his head in surprise and asked, "Guests?" Who? ”

Steward Zhao smiled: "General Jinghai's second young master." ”

Fang Chu let out an "oh" and stopped asking.

General Jinghai was stationed in the southeast coastal defense, Shen Hanbing was friendly with Zhang Fei, the second son of the general, and Fang Chu also listened to him on the way to Beijing this time.

Fang Chu asked about the operation of the Secluded Pavilion again.

Steward Zhao suddenly smiled and said, "Very good!" The last few months have been better. The affairs of the eldest young master and the eldest young grandmother have been spread all over: the young master swore in public that he would not marry the young grandmother, the young grandmother asked the court for the archway for the young master, and the young master and the young grandmother joined hands to play the piano. These things are spreading all over the capital! The emperor decreed to give the young grandmother the archway of chastity, and many people came here to buy bamboo silk paintings. It's all sold out. Orders are also scheduled for March. ”

Fang Chu was stunned. I didn't expect the suffering he and Qing Mu experienced to have this effect.

He asked, "Are all the goods brought in this time in storage?" ”

Steward Zhao said: "It's all accepted." That's not enough to sell. ”

Fang Chu said: "Then go to the back row." No price increases! ”

Steward Zhao hurriedly said, "Yes." ”

Then he said: "There is another thing: some people heard that this bamboo silk painting was auctioned by the eldest young master from the eldest young grandmother, and some people pointed out that they wanted the eldest young grandmother to make a painting from the original auction manuscript. ”

Fang Chu said categorically: "No! ”

Then he asked him, "How did you get back?" ”

Steward Zhao said: "Of course I know what the young master means, and I politely refused." ”

Fang Chu nodded and said, "Tell them well." ”

Steward Zhao hurriedly agreed.

Fang Chu flipped out a post, with Juanxiu's handwriting on it, and the payment was sent by Cai's house, knowing that it was given to Qing by Cai Key. The news of Cai Key's entry into Beijing. They heard Yan Weiyang say in Huzhou Mansion that it was the Cai family who wanted to help Cai Jian get married. So he put it away and went back so that he could be dumb.

I'm busy. Zhao Shilang and two Lang Zhong came to visit.

Fang Chu got up, greeted him in person, and let the seat serve tea.

Zhao Shilang explained the intention, which was the emperor's will to the dumb before.

Fang Chu hurriedly responded. Then he apologized and explained: "Clumsy Jing has never been far away." I was not used to sitting in a carriage for a long time, and I was tired from the journey, so I lay down when I returned from the palace to see him......"

He euphemistically expressed several meanings: first, he was dumb and tired and needed to rest; Second, their husband and wife have just arrived in the capital, and they still have some mundane things to take care of; Third. The day after tomorrow is the Queen Mother's birthday, and she is not available; Fourth. Teaching towel weaving is not something that can be completed in half a day, so please Zhao Shilang according to the loom drawings handed in by the dumb, first find someone to make the loom, and wait for the queen mother's birthday, the dumb body has also recovered, and their husband and wife are also free, and then they will teach the skills wholeheartedly.

Zhao Shilang didn't dare to put an official show on him, and said with a smile: "This official came today to discuss a charter with Guo Zhinu to see what things need to be prepared in advance." Fang Gongzi said so, after the Queen Mother's birthday, he would ask the Weaver Girl for advice. ”

He asked the Weaver Girl with great concern, but there was a big problem and so on.

Fang Chu hurriedly said that there was nothing to do, as long as he rested for two days, it should be fine.

Zhao Shilang saw that it was getting late, so he said goodbye to Fang Chu.

Fang Chu personally sent it out, apologized again, and said that when this period was over, he would invite him to eat and drink.

Zhao Shilang was very comfortable to hear it, and asked him to stay and reunite another day.

After waiting out, Zhao Shilang got into the sedan chair, and Yilang Zhong whispered on the side of the sedan chair: "My lord, when the queen mother's birthday is over, isn't it all public?" Xia Guan heard that the tribute brought by Guo Zhinu this time was different from last time. If we can't get the first ......"

Zhao Shilang said: "It's only a few days in advance. This weaving cloth is no better than anything else, what effect can be achieved in a few days? Urging in such a hurry, Guo Zhinu will be suspicious. The official heard that she has a very screwed temperament. Also, that young master Fang is not easy to deal with. ”

Lang Zhong said: "Yes, the lower officials also heard the name of the splendid five young easts. It's just ...... above."

Zhao Shilang said: "Just return truthfully." Could it be that Guo Zhinu was forced to teach skills overnight? ”

Lang Zhong hurriedly said: "It's the lower officials who are confused." ”

Fang Chu sent Zhao Shilang and others away, and recruited Niu Erzi.

"You and Steward Zhao find a quiet house, which is neither prosperous nor too dilapidated, and open a branch shop in Shuyaxing. Preferably near the Secluded Pavilion; If you can't, find another place. The other place should be large enough to open a secluded pavilion next to it. In short, the Shu Ya line in the capital should be ranked with the secluded pavilion! He commanded in a deep voice.

"Shu Yaxing can't be opened in the downtown area, so how can it work?" Niu Erzi was confused.

"This is to cooperate with your grandmother. Although the eldest and youngest grandmother has married into our family, the 'Guo family has no secrets' she promised is also applicable to my little Fang family. Shu Yaxing, in the capital, is a tree name, build a reputation, and there is no need to compete with the brocade family for business. Fang Chu explained.

"I know, if we don't make money, we will earn fame." Niu Erzi quickly understood.

"Wrong! There is no businessman who does not make money. Fang Chu flatly denied it.

If he doesn't make money, what will he use to support his wife and children in the future?

"Then the young master, this is ......" Niu Erzi was confused again.

"Our brocade trade is in the south, on the coast, overseas!" Fang Chu said solemnly.

"Earn fame in the capital and earn money outside!" Niu Erzi suddenly realized.

Fang Chu wanted to scold this kid, but he didn't know how, because although his words were rough, he hit the nail on the head, didn't he just plan to "make a name in the dynasty and make a profit in the camp"!

He said: "Our Xiaofang clan currently operates three main parts: brocade, cotton weaving, and bamboo silk painting. Young Grandma's Yirenfang and my Xinglong Silver are additional. In the piece of brocade, Shu Yaxing's development plan is: not to be an imperial businessman, but only an ordinary businessman. The silk weaving industry was originally ten major brocade merchants tied for prosperity in parallel, but now the Xie family and the Liu family have fallen, the Zeng family has fallen, the Wei family has also fallen, and the second-rate brocade merchant Zhou Ji is gone, how much market is vacated? In this way, Shu Yaxing can't prosper, and I, the former Fang Shaodong, am ashamed to death! In addition to brocade, Xiao Fang's family also has to take care of the career of the young grandmother. Your young grandmother's ambition is in the cotton textile sector, and what she does must be able to benefit the people, not just to make money. You have to keep that in mind. ”

Niu Erzi's heart flashed, and he said hurriedly: "The little one understands." Let's go to Zhang Luo. ”

So he retired and hurriedly went. (To be continued.) )

PS: Good morning friends!! Ask for a commuter pass! Alas, I didn't add more votes and had no energy, I'm wondering, is this the so-called lack of confidence?
