The streets and alleys of Baidi City are chaotic, and in addition to the scholarly doors, most of the settled people are foreign merchants. Everyone is doing their own little business and living a peaceful life.

However, if you want to say that clothing, food, housing and transportation, they are all dominating Changyixuan, Chunyuan Building, Jinlin Inn, and Xingma Market.

Speaking of the fabric of Changyixuan, I have to mention the Folding Branch Pavilion, which can be regarded as a century-old brand in the Hundred Emperor City, and the fabric-making process used by their family is ingenious, and the embroidery is outstanding. It can be said that it is impeccable and first-class good. It is said that the ancestors of the Lian family, the owner of the Zhezhi Pavilion, have eaten this bowl of rice for generations, and they used to only do some small business, but since this generation has produced such an abacus bead as Lian Miao. It was a soaring 90,000 miles, completely turning the Folding Branch Pavilion into the name of the Hundred Emperors City.

Today, it is the third day of the ninth month, and Lian Miao will come to Zhezhi Pavilion to check the accounts on the third day of the new month every month.

Not long after the time, Lian Miao rushed over after drinking morning tea.

There are not many guests in the Folding Branch Pavilion, because the source of customers is fixed, every household will basically come to pick up the fabric at a specific time, and the fabrics given to Changyixuan are taken directly from the workshop. Therefore, the shops in Lixing Lane are only open in one row.

The shopkeeper saw Lian Miao come in and greeted him warmly. The voice was unusually loud and shouted: "Why did the owner come here so early today!" ”

As he spoke, he led Lian Miao to the side room inside, and continued: "The owner, you sit down first, I'll pour you tea, and I'll have someone bring the account book over for you to look at later." ”

A glimmer of light flashed in Lian Miao's eyes, and then he took out a bulging purse from his arms and threw it to the shopkeeper, and said with a smile: "Li Si, business has been busy recently, and you have worked hard, so take this silver to buy some wine to drink." ”

When Li Si heard this, he was overjoyed and pinched his purse: "Thank you, the owner!" If you really want to say that it is hard, it is still your hardest, and we have you to lose it. ”

There was a burst of flattery, and Lian Miao listened comfortably, and her mood was much better.

Li Si went out of the side room, took the purse in his hand, and instructed the servant in the shop to take the account book in, and he went to the back hall to pour tea.

When he arrived at the back hall, Li Sidong looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he opened his purse expectantly.

This purse looks bulging, but it is full of broken silver and copper coins from the age, and there are not many of them.

Li Si immediately changed his face and said with disgust: "It's really a Zhou peel, it's a terrible deduction!" When people give gold, you give some broken silver that no one wants. Then I'll give you some old tea to drink! ”

As he spoke, Li Si angrily took out the dusted tea jar from the bottom of the cabinet.

"Yo! It seems that the shopkeeper is in a bad mood today. ”

Li Si heard someone behind him talking, and the tea jar in his hand shook twice. He broke out in a cold sweat.

Li Si turned around and saw Mo Yanxi leaning against the door leisurely, playing with a shiny gold in his hand.

"No, no matter how good the owner is, he can't wait to peel off a layer of skin when he audits the accounts. Why did the little boy come here? ”

Li Si brewed the tea, turned around and looked at Mo Yanxi with a smile.

"The hard work of the shopkeeper, I am not in a hurry to honor you. The anger hurts the body, and everything is still important to the body. ”

Mo Yanxi said, stepping forward and placing the gold next to the teapot.

Li Si's eyes have been following the gold closely, and his heart has long been tickling like a cat's scratching.

"Little boy, this is the truth that you will accept it when you see it, we all understand, it's okay to turn around the waterside occasionally, but if you want me to jump down, it will cut me off."

In the end, reason prevailed over desire, and Li Si pushed the gold far away, with obvious intentions.

Mo Yanxi opened the folding fan and said with a smile: "The shopkeeper, the most reasonable thing to do business under is the most reasonable, never do unkind business, they all say that they don't hit smiling people, everything is respectful of courtesy, since it is to talk about business, I can't force my way in." ”

Li Si's eyes rolled, he thought for a long time, and finally picked up the gold, bit it, wiped it clean and put it in his arms.

"Little boy, wait a moment, I'll go and report it."

Li Siha bent down and took the tea in. Lian Miao sat upright on the chair, her face was very ugly.

"Li Si, the business of the Folding Branch Pavilion was not as good as it used to be last month."

When Li Si heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Owner, our goods are all ordered in advance, and they are not bad." ”

Although he said this, Li Si had already rolled his eyes countless times in his heart, and last month was only two hundred taels of silver less than before.

"This is a century-old signboard in my house, and in the entire Hundred Emperor City, how many characters with heads and faces use the fabric of my house. I can't smash it in your hands. ”

Li Si wiped the sweat on his forehead: "Don't worry, our signboard is a must in Baidi City, and it is the birthday of Mr. Liu of the Liu family, their family has ordered several batches of fabrics in our house, and Changyixuan has been selling fast in ready-to-wear recently, and I ordered another batch yesterday, presumably it will be much better this month." ”

Lian Miao listened, her thick eyebrows were raised, the fine lines on her eyes immediately wrinkled together, she touched her mustache, and said, "How did I forget about this, Old Man Liu's birthday, it was really pompous, I said that the Hundred Emperor City has been so lively recently." Looks like it's going to make a lot of money again! ”

Seeing that Lian Miao's face softened, Li Si hurriedly agreed: "That's right, and next month, when the old man Wang's family marries a daughter in the city, it will definitely be indispensable to pick fabrics in our house." ”

After speaking, Li Si saw that Lian Miao's face was full of smiles, patted his forehead, and exclaimed, "Yo! Look at my memory! A well-dressed young man just came, saying that he was looking for the owner to talk about business, and this chat came and went, so I forgot it! ”

"Little boy?" When Lian Miao heard this, she pursed her lips: "Idle is idle, it's better to see and bring it in." ”

Li Sixi raised his eyebrows, and when he got the order, he hurriedly went out of the wing room to find Mo Yanxi.

Mo Yanxi followed Li Si into the wing, and even Miao frowned, seeing that although he was dressed luxuriously, he looked pink and tender, and his face was childish, like a little doll. It's not so polite to talk about.

"You want to see me?"

Mo Yanxi straightened his waist and saluted, before he smiled and said: "That's right, in Xia Han Zhiyuan, I have heard the name of the boss for a long time, and when I saw it today, it was really a dragon and a phoenix among people, and he looked like a rich and noble." ”

When Lian Miao heard this, she motioned for Mo Yanxi to take a seat, and then said, "Han Xiaogongzi came today to say these inconsequential words?" I've heard a lot of some of them, and I really don't think there's anything new. ”

Mo Yanxi put the folding fan in his hand on the table and added tea for the two: "If you really say polite words, you won't come next, and if you have a deal in your hand, I don't know if even the boss will do it or not?" ”

Lian Miao snorted coldly, without thinking, and refused: "If the little boy really wants to find something to do, it is better to go to Chunyuan Building to take a look, where businessmen waiting for others to send money can be seen everywhere." I won't get involved. ”

The sarcasm in the words was obvious.

Mo Yanxi took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Even the boss knows that the old man of the Liu family in the Hundred Emperors City has recently passed his birthday, and I don't hide it, I also just came, I don't know if the boss is well-informed, have you heard that the Liu family welcomed a son of the Han family two days ago." ”

Lian Miao listened, his face froze, he had heard a few words about this matter, I heard that the daughter of the Liu family personally went out of the city to pick it up, and the Liu family cleaned the courtyard early and waited.

"Is it difficult to become a little boy..."

"That person is the elder brother of the next, I am ashamed to say that I have no ability, and now I am in a hurry to talk about business, and I have to move his name out."

When Lian Miao heard this, she began to beat the drum in her heart, and hurriedly smiled: "Where is this, little boy, it's me Lian Mou who has no eyes." It's just that Lian has some friends everywhere, and he doesn't seem to have heard of the famous businessman Han family. ”

"My family is innocent, the upper and lower generations have either followed literature or martial arts, only I, who is not angry, can only do business if I can't do martial arts, and the business that extends in all directions will be done with the Su family in Linyuan City. So it doesn't have a name. ”

Hearing the Su family, Lian Miao's worries were completely dispelled, the name of the Su family is well-known in the Dao'er, and it has a wide range of knowledge, I heard that the two sons of the Su family also came to the Hundred Emperor City this time, so it is really true!

Thinking so in her heart, Lian Miao hurriedly added tea to Mo Yanxi, and said with a flattering smile: "Since it is the Su family, even if the little boy says, Lian is fortunate to be able to enter the eyes of Han Gongzi." ”

Mo Yanxi saw that his face changed quickly, and coughed lightly: "Naturally, it is a good deal that cannot be lost, you also know that although this White Emperor City is prosperous, it is not as good as Wen Xi after all, but at the foot of the Son of Heaven, it is either the prince of the prime minister, or the chaebol magnates." What I do is a clothing deal, and it is also a small improvement in Wenxi City. But this Wen Xicheng's clothes back and forth are the same, even if it is valuable, there is a day when I am tired, I happened to go to the drunk ten miles yesterday to see old friends, and saw the young ladies and sons who came and went, the clothes they wore were not only gorgeous and bright, but even the embroidery was also excellent. I couldn't help but ask a few more questions, and then I heard that I was coming from the Folding Branch Pavilion. ”

Lian Miao heard Mo Yanxi's praise again and again, her eyebrows and eyes smiled, and the two mustaches under her nose also curled.

"That is, our craftsmanship is the most exquisite, nearly a hundred years old, who doesn't praise it when you see it. If the Zhezhi Pavilion had been opened in Wenxi City, now I would have even been a businessman with a face! ”

Mo Yanxi saw his happy heart, and hurriedly said: "That's right, so it's the unique craftsmanship of Boss Lian that I look up to." I don't know if even the boss wants to mix it up and get a piece of the pie? ”

When Lian Miao heard this, his eyes flashed, and he thought for a long time before he said: "The business is a good deal, but Wenxi City is far away, and our family's business is basically for Chang Yixuan, if you cooperate with the little boy, wouldn't it be willing to go far and far, in case the little boy's business is not smooth, then wouldn't I lose my wife and lose my soldiers, and the gains outweigh the losses." ”

Mo Yanxi understood Lian Miao's concerns, and said with a smile: "Even what the boss said is reasonable, but you also know that this Su family is not an ordinary businessman's family, since I can do business with them, I must still have some ability, I am willing to set up a note, and the business of the Zhizhi Pavilion will definitely last for a long time, and even the boss does not have to be embarrassed, you can give us half of the fabric first, if we do it smoothly, and then consider whether to give us all the fabric, as for the price, I am willing to add two percent more to the price of Changyixuan." ”

Lian Miao was completely moved, not to mention Wen Xicheng's business, as far as the Su family is concerned, their family's business is definitely not wanted! If you can make a name for yourself, then the Broken Branch Pavilion will definitely soar to the sky!

The two of them had their own thoughts, and they didn't say a word, drinking tea by themselves. Suddenly, outside the wing, there was a commotion, which attracted the attention of the two.
