Chapter Eighty-Nine: Hibernation
Although Mr. Zong Lin was regretful, but fortunately, he was used to seeing big things after all, although he was slapped in the face, but in the end he didn't recognize it, no wonder others. Therefore, he patted his forehead with a smile, and let go, but he really praised Zhenniang.
"Shibo is too complimentary, but it's just a coincidence." Zhen Niang still shook her head with a smile, in her previous life, she paid attention to the picture of Han Xizai's night banquet, firstly, because she wanted to express this picture with ink again.
In addition, Han Xizai is also very interested in ink Dao, he once invited Zhu Feng, an ink maker from Shezhou, to make ink, build a pine hall, and get Mo Xuan neutron, and was later named Musk Moon by Han Xizai, this ink is very famous in ink.
Whether it is in the past life or the present life, Zhenniang has not to study since she was young.
In this way, I learned some things about Han Xizai's night banquet map, mainly because the information transmission in later generations was developed, not like this era, it was a very ordinary news, and sometimes it was difficult to find.
Next, Zhenniang listened to her uncle, Mr. Zonglin, talk about some problems in Nanjing's business community.
Nanjing's business community can be said to be full of cattle.
But many merchants from all over the world have their own industries. For example, money banks and pawn shops are mostly divided between Hui merchants and Jin merchants.
Most of the restaurants are local people, and there are various backgrounds behind them, in short, none of them are fuel-efficient lamps.
Weaving mostly comes from Suzhou, Hangzhou, Wuhu and other places, of course, there are outsiders like Han Yigui, but in this industry, it seems a little weak.
Most of the medicinal herb dealers come from the north......
Wait a minute.
As for the ink industry that Zhen Niang is most concerned about, it is still far from the situation of the unification of Huizhou during the period of the last dynasty. Now in Nanjing. The ink industry was still in turmoil.
The Yu family in Yixing, the Huang family on the rooftop. The Wei family of Songjiang, the pre-chapter Zhu family. There are also some merchants who specialize in selling four rooms in the study, in short, there is no leader in the ink industry, and among these, the Wei family in Songjiang and the Zhu family in the pre-chapter are a little more famous.
Especially the Zhu family, during the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Wanjun was the leader of the entire ink industry.
It's just that over the years, the Zhu family has also been in decline. But no matter what, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the Zhu family still has some foundation.
"However, I heard that the Tian family also came to Nanjing, but they are carrying the trend of tribute and ink, and now Nanjing's ink industry is in a hurry." Hu Zonglin looked at Zhen Niang and said with some jokes.
If Li Mo wants to gain a foothold in Nanjing, he must learn to survive in the cracks.
"What do the people from the Chamber of Commerce think?" Zhen Niang asked with a sideways face.
"Naturally, it is supportive, in recent years, our Hui merchants have gradually risen, and the Jin merchants have suppressed us very strongly. If the Luo family can really win the position of the head of the ink industry, we are happy to see it. Hu Zonglin said with a smile.
"Hmm." Zhenniang nodded.
"You're not worried? If we support Luo Mo, Li Mo is afraid that it will be difficult to get ahead. Hu Zonglin asked jokingly.
"There was a handle standing up in front of it, attracting the firepower of several other ink houses. Actually, it's pretty good, our Li family is so muffled to make a fortune. Zhen Niang said a little playfully.
"This girl is so funny." Mr. Zong Lin heard Zhenniang say this. Haha's daxiao got up and thought about it. Sure enough, it's like this, the first to rot first.
Han Yigui also nodded slightly on the side. No wonder the mother-in-law wants to send a virgin girl to preside over the Nanjing ink affair, this girl is a rare person who is perceptive.
Then several people talked and laughed.
In the evening, the Huang family came from Han Li's side and called Zhenniang to say goodbye, and sure enough, Han Li still didn't give Zhenniang a good look.
"Your aunt has this temperament, don't care too much." got into the carriage, and Huang saw Zhen Niang's face sneering, so he said vigorously.
"I don't care, it's just a little embarrassing." Zhen Niang is also telling the truth, think about it, you say goodbye to humanity with a smile, and others ignore you, Zhen Niang does not have the Buddha's concentration, and embarrassment is inevitable.
"If you don't feel comfortable, you can come less in the future. Here, the second aunt will run. Huang said.
"No, my uncle is very good, I still want to listen to his teachings more, as for my aunt, she is an elder, I am thick-skinned, she can still sweep me away." Zhenniang blinked.
"Thief girl." Huang patted Zhen Niang's forehead, and breathed a sigh of relief, this girl is good.
Later, Zhen Niangzi told the Huang family about some of today's gains.
"I don't understand these things, you can handle them yourself." Huang said with a smile, and then said: "However, you also have some fate with Mr. Zonglin, and now you have to be introduced by your uncle, you should strike while the iron is hot, and bring gifts to visit tomorrow." ”
"yes, I know." Zhenniang nodded.
In this way, while speaking, he returned to Li's house. The sky was gray, the lantern in front of the door had been lit, and the dim light shrouded the front of the door, revealing a warmth.
At this time, a face poked out of the door, it was Sister-in-law Ma. Seeing Zhen Niang and the others coming back, he came over with a dead wind lamp and led the way.
The group passed by the front yard, and heard Fang's and Ge's talking with a smile, and under the candlelight, they were also a group of musicians.
After the front yard, Sister-in-law Ma muttered while leading the way: "The life style here in Nanjing is bigger than that of our sect." In the past, it was the old lady who was reluctant to light candles easily, and always lit lamp oil. Here, the sky is still bright, and the candles are lit. ”
Sister-in-law Ma pursed her lips as she spoke. Obviously, I can't get used to Nanjing's lavish living habits.
Zhen Niang also frowned slightly, compared to Huizhou, Nanjing's spending is indeed a lot bigger, but in the end, Nanjing's land is the capital of staying, and these expenses are not too careful.
"Second grandmother, virgin girl, are you back?" When Fang and Ge heard the voice, they also came out.
At this time, Li Jingming came in with the account book, and the Huang family asked Zhenniang to stay and deal with things first, and she went back to the room first.
Zhenniang beckoned Li Jingming and Fang's Ge to sit down in the hall, and while the little girl served tea, Li Jingming talked about the situation of moving goods in the Mofang warehouse today: "The goods of each family have been moved.
On the other hand, Ge Shizi also mentioned her father's efforts today.
"Well, that's fine, you go to Zheng Fuli and Master Ma tomorrow. This architecture ink mill. There are many things to do and some materials to buy. In the past few days, I will trouble Uncle Jingming to take them to run the various markets here. Let them get acquainted with it. Zhen Niang said.
"It's not troublesome, it's supposed to be due." Li Jingming replied, and then said: "By the way, the owner of the grain store and the goods store that rented our store told me today that he was going to return the store. ”
"Oh, is it due?" Zhen Niang asked with a slight frown.
"Not really, it's just that when they rented it, they said that the big ink shop in the backyard let them release the goods, but now the goods can't be released. There's no need to rent this storefront again, so I want to return it. Li Jingming said.
"Okay, I'll refund them the rent at the end of the year before I received it." Zhenniang thought for a moment. I think this is good, so I keep these two shops for my own use.
"They also want liquidated damages, saying that we are in breach of contract first." Li Jingming was a little embarrassed.
"Is there a contract for the release of goods?" Zhen Niang asked with a sideways face.
"Nope." Li Jingming said.
"That's what you promised them?" Zhenniang continued to ask.
"Not really, it's just ......" Speaking of this, Li Jingming hesitated.
"These two shops were handed over to Zhengping's daughter-in-law to discuss, although the matter of releasing the goods was not explicitly stated, but there was that meaning in and out of the words." Then. Fang Shi on the side answered.
"Then whoever promised to let them find whom, my Li family doesn't care." Zhenniang glanced at Ge Shi and replied calmly.
Ge Shi on the side pursed his lips: "Zhen girl, this is not right." Isn't that also so that I can rent out our store? What's more, the rent of our shop is more expensive than others, and there must always be some benefits for others, so people can rent it. ”
Zhen Niang glanced at her with a smile and said, "That's it." You ask them to show me the tax stamps for those goods, if they are complete. Then I also admit to this breach of contract, and I will pay for how much I should pay. ”
Listen to Zhenniang's words. The corners of Ge's mouth twitched, understanding that this virgin girl was very clear about the inside story, and finally had to pay her back to break this wealth, it was really unlucky, in order to fight for these two shopkeepers, she and her mother-in-law had a lot of quarrels, and finally they finally got it, I thought I could get a few more money, but I didn't think that the arrival of the Huizhou group was all messed up.
This is really not good, but it is fishy.
When it comes to liquidated damages, everyone knows it, so there is no need to mention it.
Li Jingming said that he would discuss with Zheng Fuli and Master Ma tomorrow to build the structure of Mozhuang.
So.
The next day, Zhen Niang struck while the iron was hot, so she brought a box of herb cream and medicinal ink to the Hui Chamber of Commerce to formally meet Hu Zonglin. This is the etiquette that must be followed. After all, yesterday was just a chance encounter, not a visit.
I didn't expect the Chamber of Commerce, Zhen Niang saw an acquaintance again, President Qin Yuan's uncle Qin who took her father Li Jingfu out of the house, back then, his father Li Jingfu left Huizhou to go to Suzhou, and he followed President Qin, but President Qin was the vice president of the Suzhou Chamber of Commerce back then, but he didn't expect that now, he has become the manager of the Nanjing Chamber of Commerce.
I don't know what twists and turns there are in the middle, and it's not convenient to inquire, but it's always nice to meet acquaintances.
"Hello Uncle Qin, I haven't seen you for many years." Zhen Niang stepped forward to salute first.
"It's Zhenniang, alas, your father is him...... I'm sorry. Seeing Zhen Niang, Uncle Qin Yuan couldn't help but mention Zhen Niang's father Li Jingfu again. It is a good thing that this prodigal son turned back, but the prodigal son turned back, and before he could show anything, there was an accident, which is always regrettable. What's more, it was he who introduced Li Jingfu to work in that goods store, and it was this accident that made Uncle Qin Yuan leave the Suzhou Chamber of Commerce and come to Nanjing.
"Uncle Qin's words are not right, my grandfather still remembers Uncle Qin's help that day. You know, with my father's bad reputation, whoever is willing to take him out is responsible, and Uncle Qin, regardless of avoiding suspicion, promoted my father. As for the calamity, this person is in the world, who doesn't have three disasters and six diseases, everything is just the will of heaven, and he can't complain about Uncle Qin. Hearing Uncle Qin Yuan talk about his father, Zhen Niang first comforted Qin Steward.
After all, for Li Jingfu, Zhen Niang has not yet accompanied him to develop feelings, so he left Huizhou, but because Li Jingfu inevitably has a few beaded flowers and head ropes every time he brings something, his feelings are still a little bit. Therefore, at this moment, Zhenniang also has a sour feeling in her heart.
"Don't mention it, don't mention it, this old man always says something out of place." Seeing that Zhen Niang's eyes were slightly red, the Qin steward quickly diverted the topic, and then asked Zhen Niang what was the matter with coming over.
Zhen Niang then told Li Mo about his preparation to settle down in Nanjing and his visit to Hu Zonglin.
"I'll help you with the registration order, but President Hu, you'd better not go." The Qin steward pointed at Zhen Niang.
"Why?" Zhenniang asked.
"Now Vice President Wang of the Chamber of Commerce is competing with President Hu for the position of President of the Chamber of Commerce, but I am afraid that in the near future, President Hu will not be able to do it, and then the President of the Chamber of Commerce will be Vice President Wang's, and he and President Hu are rivals, you meet President Hu at this time, how can you not offend him, and then you Li Mo will be quite ineffective in Nanjing." Qin stewardship.
And the vice president Wang in his mouth is Wang Sifang, the owner of Sifang Qianzhuang
"Uncle Qin, I only know that the current president is President Hu, according to the rules, I should visit him, and when it comes to the others, when it opens, I will post it according to the rules." Zhen Niang said, don't say that she has something to do with Hu Zonglin, even if she didn't have anything to do with it before, at this time she must visit President Hu according to the rules, after all, as long as Hu Zonglin is still in the position of the president, she has to act according to the rules, which is the right way.
What's more, Zhenniang knows that don't look at Hu Zonglin because of Hu Zongxian's accident, and now the situation is weak, but wait until the end of this year, as soon as Jiajing leaves and Emperor Longqing comes to power, Hu Zongxian will be rehabilitated. Therefore, Hu Zonglin is just a temporary hibernation.
