"Girl, this snow satin because this year's concubine Niangniang wore it at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, it was amazing, and all the noblewomen and ladies in the capital began to follow suit, but the annual output of the snow satin south is a fixed number, if it weren't for the previous year's girl's instructions, we can't catch up with this tide, the price has increased more than five or six times, and we really made a profit." is a person like Liu Jingniang, and there is a hint of excitement on his face.

Ah Wu nodded. As for her remembering this snow-light satin, in fact, she also participated in the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the palace in the autumn of the twenty-sixth year of Longqing, and she still remembers Xiang Guifei's snow-light satin clothes vividly. A woman in her thirties looks as if she is in her early twenties, and even Ah Wu has to praise Concubine Xiang for being a person who is very good at dressing up.

What kind of cloth is good to sell in this capital depends on what the nobles wear.

However, Ah Wu really can't remember what these people are wearing, if it weren't for the coincidence, she went to the banquet that year, and she has some memories, and she can't catch up with the tide of snow satin this trip. It's really God's favor, and she deserves to make a lot of money.

Ah Wu looked at the silver ticket and account book sent by Liu Jingniang. Good guy, even Ah Wu was taken aback, it was four thousand taels of silver. Although four thousand taels was not too much for Ah Wu, it was the first time in her life that she had seen such a large sum of money.

Ah Wu left the account book to be looked at in the future. But the box containing the silver was confiscated, and it was pushed back to Liu Jingniang. "Let's use these as capital, and there is no shortage of silver on our side now." Money makes money.

Liu Jingniang did not shirk, "With this silver, our shop will be able to develop better." ”

Ah Wu nodded, as early as the summer, Ah Wu shared one percent of the benefits to Liu Jingniang's mother and son, and half of the benefits to Peng Nanniang, enveloping the two of them as if they were ironclad, and they both helped with heart.

Liu Jingniang runs the shop, and Peng Nanniang disciplines the embroidery girl.

After the New Year, Ah Wu got the news of Liu Jingniang, saying that he had set up a shop on Chang'anmen Street, the most prosperous street in the capital. Now it not only sells Cui embroidery products, but also sells all kinds of fabrics. Some are Liu Jingniang's own fresh fabrics in the small workshops near the capital, those workshops have a small principal, can't open a big store, buy and sell at will, and now Liu Jingniang has received it, and signed a contract to form an exclusive transaction, which has also become a major feature of "Bright Notes".

Bright Ji is a name that Ah Wu figured out. The bright character is the homonym of the Cui character in Cui embroidery, and the bright is the characteristic of Cui embroidery. The colors are bright and dazzling.

Not to mention that Liu Jingniang ran the shop well.

In the spring of the twenty-seventh year of Longqing, great good news came from the third room of the Anguo Mansion.

Master Rong San is back.

As soon as the news came out, Cui's illness was cured for most of the time, and she couldn't wait for half a moment, so Ah Wu helped her to wait outside the courtyard, and Rong Sanye went to kowtow to An Guogong and the old lady first, and then went back to the courtyard of the third room.

As soon as Cui Shi saw Rong Sanye, who had just returned from home for two years, he was so excited that he couldn't speak, his hands trembled and shook with Rong Sanye's hands, and the two of them were speechless and choked, with tears in their eyes.

When Ah Wu saw Third Master Rong, her eyes were also blurred, although she knew that Third Master Rong would definitely be able to return safely, but in the end, she had to see him alive in front of her, so she could put her mind at ease.

"Daddy." Ah Wu screamed, and tears rolled down.

Rong Sanye couldn't hold back his tears anymore, hugged his wife and daughter with both arms, and the three of them were in tears, unable to help themselves.

After the relationship calmed down, the three of them sat down and talked, and Rong Sanye began to talk about foreign customs and customs in a loud voice.

Ah Wu looked at Rong Sanye, and only felt that his demeanor and demeanor had changed greatly, compared to the past, he was like a jade opening light, and his style was brilliant. Rong Sanye now has a long beard, he already has a good appearance, and the bookish air in his bones is matched with five locks of beautiful hair, which adds elegance and elegance. In addition, in the past two years, I have experienced the vast ocean and seen foreign scenery, and my eyes have been opened, and my eyes have added a kind of maturity that has experienced the world and the wisdom that can achieve great things.

Even Ah Wu secretly shouted the word "good" when he saw it. Now that Rong Sanye's luck has opened, it seems that he is going to make a big move. Bearing and appearance should be called "Master Rongsan".

Sure enough, as soon as the third master Rong came back, he answered in the temple and greeted the holy will.

The James Mansion is the official office of the Imperial Palace, when the dynasty does not have a prince, the James Mansion has become an empty name, and the official positions of the Chunfang have no real positions, and it has actually become the place where the Hanlin Academy compiles, reviews and so on.

In less than three months, Rong Jichang was specially ordered to be the priest wine from the fourth grade of the country.

After the third master Rong returned from his foreign mission, it can really be said that the official talisman is like fire, and in just a few months, he has been promoted to four levels, to the fourth grade, don't underestimate this from the fourth grade, and then two levels up to the third grade.

In the Great Xia Dynasty, officials above the third rank can be called big officials, and only in Beijing can they sit in four sedan chairs, enter to worship the prime minister, and go out to seal the territory, which is a watershed in the officialdom.

Rong Sanye's from the fourth grade, he is already a third-grade reserve official, as long as there is no big mistake, even if it is ranked according to seniority, sooner or later he can be promoted to a third-grade officer, and the future is bright.

Speaking of the third master Rong after returning to the house, the Cui family told him all the big and small things in the house in the past two years, and naturally Aunt Wang had a relationship with the second master and escaped from the house privately. Rong Sanye didn't feel much when he heard it, although men usually can't tolerate the thing of wearing a green hat on their heads and want to be angry, but after all, this happened after Rong Sanye went abroad, and he was not present when the incident happened, and now that he talks about it, his feelings are not deep.

However, Ah Wu is thinking about whether to expose Aunt Wang's affairs with the eldest master, and make a shameless matter of three brothers sharing a concubine in one house, it is best to separate the family in advance. But after all, this matter is not very graspable, and Ah Wu is reluctant to make this move, so he endures it.

Moreover, at this time, Rong Sanye's official fortune was in full swing, and Emperor Longqing used him as a lecturer at the sutra feast, although he did not preach every day, but he always saw the holy face every month, and when he listened to the holy precepts, he served the emperor by his side, and there were many more opportunities.

After two months, Jiangsu Xuezheng died of illness in service, this position was vacant, and Emperor Longqing specially ordered to be simple, and Rong Sanye was promoted to the fourth grade of James Mansion Shao James, and served as the post of Jiangsu Xuezheng.

The position of academic administration in the Great Xia Dynasty was mostly assigned from the yamen such as Hanlin, Zhan, Ke, and Dao, and there was no specific grade. And Emperor Longqing specially promoted Rong Sanye to the fourth grade, which was for the sake of him going to the local government to communicate with the governor, prefect and other officials. This is grace and a symbol of the Holy Grace.

Since ancient times, Jiangnan is a place where literature and atmosphere gather, half of the two lists of Jinshi are Jiangnan students, and they can be released to Jiangsu Xuezheng, that is, the future teacher of Jiangsu Juzi, and many Jinshi in the future are involved, not to mention anything else, this relationship network alone is already extremely precious.

And what Hanlin, who has always been poor, is looking forward to the release of the envoys, and the Guozijian and the James Mansion are all yamen without oil and water, and what they are looking forward to is also the release. Differential external discharge, differential third-class. The second class is the main examination, that is, the main examination of the provincial and township examinations, and there are thousands of gold to be obtained after a trip, which are all official rules, not to force evil.

And the best messenger is the school that Rong Sanye is about to go to, that is, Xuezheng, who is in charge of the education imperial examination of a province. At the end of three years, there will be 30,000 or 40,000 gold left in the big province, and no less than 10,000 gold in the small province.

As soon as this will came, Rong Sanye, who had now practiced seven points of "Mount Tai collapsed before and did not change" ability, couldn't help but rub his hands excitedly. He was short of money, so he had money to go to Beijing for future activities.

But there is a difficult hurdle in front of him, and he is worried that the third master of Rong will have white hair and be born early. Seeing him like this, Cui's heart secretly wondered, it was really Cui's view, there was really no better life than now.

Because not only Rong Sanye has to go to Jiangsu, Cui's own and Ah Wu can also go to work with Rong Sanye, this is the meaning of An Guogong, although the old lady was so angry that he didn't eat for a day, An Guogong still did not change his original intention.

Just because the third master Rong is about to raise his head, An Guogong is not like an old lady, a woman's opinion, he has been keenly aware of the future of the Guogong Mansion, but he is afraid that he has to lean on the shoulder of this concubine, and now although his son does not say that he is enveloped, he can no longer turn a blind eye and bend but not stretch.

Rong Sanye said euphemistically in front of An Guogong, which means that "my son has been here for a few years, and there is no one around to take care of him, and Aunt Mu is a dull character, and she still wants Cui's to serve with her, not to mention that Ah Wu is also older, and he also wants to take the time to raise him personally, and he will marry in the future to earn a good name for the Guogong Mansion." ”

An Guogong is not ignorant of his old wife's opinion on the third room. Now that the third child is promoted, Cui's and Ah Wu are held in her hands and they don't know how to toss, in case the relationship between father and son, mother and son, and brother is tossed thin in the future, it will not be beautiful.

Therefore, An Guogong sent a message and asked Cui and Ah Wu to go to Jiangsu.

"What's the trouble, I see that you have been worried for the past two days?" Cui Shi gently rested his head on Rong Sanye's shoulder, and gently stroked his chest with one hand.

Rong Sanye said: "How much money do we have on hand?" ”

Cui Shi looked up at Rong Sanye in confusion.

Rong Sanye knew that the Cui family didn't understand, but now she had to follow her to the post, and she couldn't let her be so confused anymore, so he said: "This Beijing official is released, and as a rule, he must send farewell to the yamen of all ministries." In the past two days, I have inquired, I am such a messenger to the outside, cabinet members, each person to at least 200 gold, six books to 100 gold, such as the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites are particularly to be sent, as well as the squire, the imperial envoy and so on to 50 gold, the year is good and no one is missing, I made a rough calculation, how to also need 5,000 gold to be perfunctory. ”

"What, so much!" Cui Shi sat up from the bed in surprise, "Can't you send a little less?" ”

"How can you get rid of the bad evils of officialdom." After Rong Sanye put his hands on his head, he collapsed on his back, and he was helpless.

"I only have a few dozen taels of silver here, and I have been sick for the past two years, and I have spent a lot of money." Cui Shi felt very guilty, "The things in the shop, thanks to Ah Wu helping me cook, and also thanks to her being so sensible at a young age, I, I'm sorry for her,......" Cui Shi cried.

Rong Sanye sat up and hugged Cui's into his arms, "Okay, okay, don't cry, I'll find a way, my father always has to fund some." ”

In fact, Rong Sanye deceived Cui's family, An Guogong had already funded Rong Sanye, but it was only two thousand taels of silver, and there was a gap of three thousand taels, Rong Sanye only opened his mouth to Cui's family, in fact, before he asked, he had already expected the result, it was already comforting that their mother and daughter could live a perfunctory life in the house in the past two years, where did they dare to ask for it. Rong Sanye just had the mentality of giving it a try and asked casually.

"Hurry up Ming'er, I'll ask Ah Wu, it's estimated that I can still make up one or two hundred taels in the shop, but it's really not good, so let's put the shop on the plate." Cui Shi said in a low voice, for the sake of Rong Sanye, she is heartbroken, and she is willing to sacrifice anything.

"This won't work, I plan to give Ah Wu a dowry in that shop." Rong Sanye rejected Cui's proposal. In fact, he still has a way to go in his heart, but he is unwilling to go.

That's borrowing.

Officials give gifts in office, they can't afford to make it up, and they have a lot of loans, which will be returned in the future, and there are people in Beijing who specialize in putting this kind of money. If the court is like a market, you don't have to worry about not paying it back. When you are an official, he can jam your neck and blackmail, and once you borrow money, it falls into their pockets, as if the marionettes are at the mercy of others.

But if you don't borrow, don't make up the money, and offend these bigwigs in the capital, after the three-year difference is over, you don't want to make an inch, or you may not be satisfied, so you will be replaced. Among them, all kinds of dark levels really can't compete with Cui's Daoye.

This night, Rong Sanye tossed and turned, and it was difficult to sleep.

After all, Cui's and Rong Sanye have been husband and wife for more than ten years, although Rong Sanye said that he had a way, but looking at his appearance, Cui's knew that Rong Sanye had no way.

So on the second day, Cui told Ah Wu about the matter and asked about the situation in the shop.

Ah Wu knew a little about the farewell, but he didn't know that Lu Dao would cost so much, so he was silent and said: "The income of the shop in the past two years is okay, my wife gives me three days, I'll think of a way." ”

Cui Shi nodded, he didn't feel strange at all, he actually put such a burden on the shoulders of a little girl who was only eleven years old, and he didn't feel heavy for her at all.

Only two days later, Ah Wu put the silver ticket of 3,000 taels in Cui's hand.

Not to mention the Cui family, even the third master Rong was extremely surprised when he knew the truth, and called Ah Wu to come to him and asked, "Where did you get so much silver?" ”

Ah Wu didn't hide it from Rong Sanye, and told Rong Sanye about the benefits of the shop in the past two years, as well as the snow satin, but Ah Wu gave the credit to Liu Jingniang, so Rong Sanye didn't doubt her, and only sighed that she was lucky, and she could save someone casually, which was so useful.

Rong Sanye was both relieved and happy, and for a while he heard Ah Wu talk about Liu Jingniang's ambition, in fact, that was Ah Wu's ambition, about Cui Xiu to open all over the country.

In the past two years, Rong Sanye has gone overseas, his vision is no longer limited to the country, after seeing the prosperity brought by the coastal areas because of the mutual trade with foreign countries, he not only did not look down on the merchants in the last rank of the national dynasty, but realized that it was an important corner of the prosperity of the dynasty, although this consciousness was not profound and significant, but Rong Sanye had imagined that if one day he could stand at the peak of the officialdom of the country, he must consider vigorously promoting the mutual market between the country and the foreign countries, not only in the coast, but also to communicate inland, and communicate with each other. to fill the treasury and raise the prestige of our country.

As long as the national treasury is sufficient and the military budget is not owed, the northern Tatars, the northeast Watts, and the Goryeo, which covet the richness of the country, and even the pirates who are now wandering in the southeast, will no longer be a threat.

Of course, all this is imagination, and it is imperative that Rong Sanye pack up his baggage, take his wife and daughter, and go to Jiangsu to study politics on an errand.

In the spring of the twenty-ninth year of Longqing, Rong Sanye's Jiangsu academic and political service has not yet expired, but he received the edict to return to Beijing to serve as the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, Rong Sanye Longqing 23 years by Hanlin Xiu into the office, just six years, become the three products of the Great Xia Dynasty, such a speed of promotion, although not unprecedented, but also full of envy.

In fact, Rong Sanye was lucky, if he hadn't returned safely from abroad, the emperor would have answered properly, and he would have been given the impression of a great fortune and a great life, and his official promotion would not have been so fast. In addition, together with Rong Sanye, Wu Mingkai, who acted as an envoy to foreign countries, has now become a celebrity in the eyes of the emperor, and has entered the cabinet and is in charge of the Ministry of Rites.

This time it was Wu Mingkai's recommendation that Rong Sanye was able to return to Beijing in advance. This is the fortune of a person. At that time, the eldest lady secretly urged Rong Sanye to go abroad, thinking that she could accept Rong Sanye under the pretense of God's hand, but unexpectedly helped Rong Sanye's fortune. This is something she didn't expect.

The Grand Canal of Shangjing has carved a river from Tongzhou into Shangjing, which leads directly to the Xihai Wharf in Shangjing. Every year, since the canal has been frozen, there have been many boats here, but not all ships can dock at the West Sea Pier. Boats waiting for idlers can only stop at Tongzhou Wharf and enter Beijing by land.

When Rong Sanye dragged his family from Beijing to Jiangsu, he was also on the boat at the Tongzhou wharf. But in the holy oracle this time, Third Master Rong has been moved to the third rank and entered the Ministry of Rites, and his official ship can sail to the Xihai Wharf.

In the spring season, the willow branches on the shore of the West Sea Wharf are green, and the climate is the most pleasant season of the year. On this day, the sky was warm in spring, and occasionally a trace of flowing clouds floated by, adding a touch of color to the monotonous sky. The workers on the wharf had already taken off their padded jackets, and today they couldn't even wear their jackets.

Rong Sanye's official ship sailed into the Xihai Wharf on this day and docked at the beginning of the hour in order of shifts. In front of them were the ships of the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of War, or the ships of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, or the ships that rushed back to Beijing with the imperial order to restore the important officials.

Rong Sanye's luck this day was not bad, and he was able to land before noon.

The sedan chair and carriage sent by the Anguo Mansion to pick up the third master have been waiting on the shore for a long time. At this time, I saw that the official ship of the third master of Rong was docking, and the word "Rong" was written on the mast.

The person who took the lead in welcoming was personally arranged by An Guogong, the chief steward of the outer courtyard Rong Da, Rong Da was specially given the family name by An Guogong, and he was the most important steward of An Guogong, this time he personally came to greet Rong Sanye, even Rong Sanye couldn't help but feel that there was light on his face, and let out a long breath, his father was finally willing to look at him.

Rong Da personally took his hand and let Rong Sanye help him walk over the pedal and landed firmly on the ground on the shore.

Rong Sanye was followed by two female dependents, both wearing hats, and the brim of the hat was decorated with a long white veil. There are many people at this Xihai wharf, and the more noble ladies have to wear this kind of hat when they get off the ship.

But Rong Da is an old man in the house, and you don't need to look at it to know that the two must be the third wife, Cui Shi and the sixth girl.

The girl and mother-in-law brought by Rongda hurriedly went up to help, but the two girls around them were more eye-catching and quick-witted, separating the mother-in-law who came to pick up from the house.

When Cui Shi went ashore steadily, the tall girl with a slender waist behind her was supported by a beautiful girl wearing a purple tooth-pinching vest and stepped onto the pedal.

The eyes of the mother-in-law and the girl waiting on the side were not enough to see, and they only followed her figure and swayed, and they didn't think that the girl had moved, but the action was different and good-looking.

Some people also looked at the girl's slender jade hand in the girl's hand stupidly. The white jade is flawless, slender as the tip of the first cluster of bamboo shoots in spring, white and tender, and I can't wait to take a bite. On the fingertips, the smooth flesh-pink nails are clean, narrow and slightly arched like a crescent moon, which is the most beautiful nail shape. How many people's impatiens juice-dyed armor looked dull in front of these hands.

Others looked at her clothes.

In February, April and August, they dressed indiscriminately. There are those who wear padded jackets, those who wear jackets, and those who wear single clothes. It's just that the clothes on the girl's body don't look like yarn or satin, but the light is as bright as satin, and the texture is like yarn. The color is also fresh, with a hint of sweet powder in the blue of the sky, and there is no shop in the capital that sells such a chic and fresh color.

The people who came and went on the shore stopped from a distance to watch the people who were coming ashore, and the ladies who were about to board the ship and the ladies who saw them off were eagerly pointing and talking. The signs on the sedan chair and car of Anguo Mansion have long been recognized, and those who have relatives also come up to say hello, and the female relatives behind them are looking forward to Cui's and his party coming over, so as to ask them about their clothes.

But no matter what, Rong Sanye and his entourage have become the focus of their unconsciousness.

A group of people gradually came to see them off on the shore, a few horses took the lead, and on it was a young son-in-law, if Ah Wu could see it, he would definitely be able to recognize one of them, it was none other than the second son of Tang Jinshan, the first assistant of the current cabinet who had not been seen for a few years, Tang Yu, Tang Xiujin.

Tang Xiujin had already gone down to the field, and the saint had ordered Tanhua. A large group of people behind him who felt sorry for him all said that he could have been the champion, but in the top three recommended by the examiner this year, except for the young and handsome Tang Xiujin, the other two are not young, and their appearance is rough and dark.

During the palace test, Emperor Longqing was entangled in every possible way, unwilling to choose a black-faced tanhua, so Tang Xiujin had no choice but to be aggrieved-
