"They're them again?" The shopkeeper of the cloth shop stared at him, muttered to himself, and then, without waiting for the other shopkeepers to inquire, he straightened up and walked out of the room to the backyard.

In the room, there was a group of shopkeepers staring at each other.

These shopkeepers of all sizes here are actually not without nothing about the conflict between their own family and the Xiao family firm!

There are even well-informed people who have faintly heard about the incidents of these days, and they are all behind the Xiao family firm!

It's just that this thing is too appalling!

Who can believe it? A medium-sized commercial bank that has only been established for one or two years can stir up wind and rain in the land of Yangzhou, and almost overturn the Yangzhou cloth store with a history of hundreds of years?

"Hello? Raw silk, is it really gone? ”

After a moment of silence, one of the shopkeepers in the room frowned and asked the steward who came in last.

The steward cautiously looked back, but did not find the figure of the big shopkeeper, so he turned his head with a sad face and replied: "It's really all taken away!" Even if there is, it's some small family's raw silk, not to mention the small quantity, and the quality can't keep up. ”

After listening to the steward, the shopkeeper's eyes flickered a few times, and then he said, "How can this be? Didn't those silkworm farmers sell silk to the weaving mills under our name? ”

When the steward heard this, he sighed and said, "Yes! In the past, no matter what year it was, they would sell the smoked raw silk to us! But this year, when it's time to collect silk, aren't we all busy exchanging copper coins?

In fact, a few days ago, when it was time to rewind, I also took the time to look at it! But at that time, people didn't want silver tickets to kill, and I thought that the copper money at home was tight, so I planned to postpone it for two days, and then go when I had enough money, but when I went again, people said that they had all been taken away, and they still paid the bill with all the copper money. ”

Speaking of this, the steward in charge of purchasing raw silk sighed heavily.

He now knows the seriousness of this matter.

If they can't get the raw materials for this season's spring silkworms, not to mention how to deliver the customer orders that have been set a long time ago, just the dyers and weavers in the workshop, there will be no work this year!

These people are all mechanics in the city, and their families have no land at all! They don't have a job, which means they don't make any money! How can you survive this year?

The shopkeepers and stewards in the house all thought of this at this time, and for a while, sighs rang out, mixed with a few whispered curses, and I don't know who they were cursing.

Unlike these shopkeepers, in the backyard, after hearing the report, the young man still looked lazy.

"Hehe, I got tens of thousands of copper coins, and it turned out that they were all smashed in this? He is not afraid of this money, and he will lose it all in a while? ”

Lying comfortably on the recliner and turning the folding fan in his hand, the young man suddenly looked at the big shopkeeper standing solemnly and asked, "Do you know how many weavers the Xiao family can have?" ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he replied after a moment of silence: "The Xiao family used to be in our Yangzhou, basically buying finished silk from the weaving mill and selling it outside. ”

When the young man heard this, he was immediately happy: "Haha, isn't that the end?" What's the use of not being able to make something with just silk? Originally, I wanted to give him a gift, but now I don't need to! Let's just watch from the side, watching him hoard so much raw silk, in the end, whether he can eat or drink! ”

Seeing that the young master was smiling happily, the big shopkeeper of the cloth shop also grinned silently, and then frowned slightly: "However, the weavers and printing and dyeing masters under our name ......."

The young man laughed and said calmly: "Continue to raise them, don't let them out, the province will be taken away by the Xiao family." ”

"Good!"

The shopkeeper of the cloth shop got an accurate answer here, nodded, and happily took the order to retreat.

The door was gently closed by the big shopkeeper, and the moment the door closed, the fan in the young man's hand also stopped.

"Harvested silk? Wasn't this man's head kicked by his donkey? Little lotus? Little lotus! ”

With his eyes fixed on the closed door, the young man muttered in a low voice, then smacked his lips and opened his throat to call Xiaohe.

"Young Master, you called me?"

Soon, Xiaohe floated in out of nowhere, looking at the young man with a flat face.

When the young man saw Xiaohe coming, he was not polite, got up and put the fan on his belt casually, grabbed his purse and said, "Let's go, it's boring to stay here, let's go out and have a look!" ”

Yangzhou in April is the most beautiful season of the year.

Flowers are everywhere, green grass is like grass, pedestrians are weaving, and beautiful women are like clouds......

Ahem, there are a lot of beauties in Yangzhou, but you can't look at it! Although the men and women of this year are not as good as the Ming and Qing dynasties in later generations.

But if you want to be accidentally treated as a disciple, a good fight is indispensable.

In this harmonious spring, Xiaohe followed his son-in-law through the streets.

Coincidentally, Xiao Han was also accompanying Xue Pan to wander the street.

"Xiao Han, what have you been busy with lately? Steward Xue doesn't see anyone all day long, and you don't know where to run without moving. ”

Slowly strolling in front of a shop selling gouache, Xue Pan stopped, and asked Xiao Han with some dissatisfaction while casually picking up the fat powder box placed by the shopkeeper.

Xiao Han was about to help Xue Pan choose gouache, when he heard that his outstretched hand was in the air, and then grinned: "Nothing busy?" No, I'm going to play with you today? ”

"Phew, who wants you to accompany you?" took a sip gently, but the smile on Xue Pan's face became thicker and thicker.

Xiao Han pursed his lips, and then deliberately put on a look of annoyance and said, "You don't want me to accompany you?" Then I'm going to accompany someone else! ”

"You dare!"

Xue Pan's face became very fast, and she transformed from a weak woman to a tigress in an instant! The nails that were still sticking to a little gouache were even more homeopathic to someone's waist.

Poor Xiao Han hadn't reacted yet, only feeling a heart-piercing pain in his waist! In pain, he hurriedly turned around and begged for mercy again and again: "Oh, madam, light, it hurts ......"

"Haha, see if you dare!"

"Don't dare, don't dare! I'll be with you alone! ”

The laughter like silver bells sounded on the street, attracting the attention of many pedestrians, and as for Xiao Han, he also completely abandoned his face and accompanied Xue Pan to mess around.

There is no longer the most ambitious time in a woman's life than when she is pregnant! Losing some insignificant face, in exchange for his wife's smile, Xiao Han feels that it is worth it.

As for those open and secret battles in the shopping mall, if you can resist it, why worry about others?

Men, no matter what grievances they have suffered outside, how miserable they have been, before going home, shouldn't they wipe the blood stains on their faces, put on a look of returning with a big victory, and make their families happy?
