Hua Cai Yuan officially opened its doors early in the morning.

The crackling, star-like red dots burst one by one, like red beans in a frying pan, dancing with cheerful steps. Jade, who came to see the excitement, covered her ears and dodged in horror, but she also couldn't stop her excitement. Zi'er and Shuangxi were so frightened that they didn't dare to go out at all, but they couldn't suppress the curiosity in their hearts, and leaned on the edge of the window to listen to the sound.

On such an occasion, Ningxia Qingwei was dressed in filial piety clothes, but it was still extremely simple, with a moon-white cotton robe covered with a crow-blue windproof cloak, a girl's most common bun on her head, and no hairpin rings around her body.

However, the more simple the dress, the more she can highlight her own glamorous and vulgar, ice muscles and jade bones, beautiful and beautiful, in the eyes of others, I only feel that she is dignified, like a fairy.

The head of the house is dressed plainly, but the shopkeeper is dressed festively.

Anyway, Dong Zizhen doesn't have to keep any filial piety for Ning Yongda, not to mention that the days always have to look forward, Ningxia Qing is not so rigid, and will not ask Dong Zizhen to take care of Ning Yongda's mourning period, in addition, on such an occasion, the more festive the shopkeeper's dress, it means that the more prosperous the business will be in the future.

Therefore, Dong Zizhen was dressed in a water-red silk shirt, how festive and festive he was, and Jade directly joked that Dong Zizhen was like a groom official.

They thought that the time when they got up to greet the guests was already early, but unexpectedly, the guests came no later than them, they just opened the door for a while, there was a steady stream of carriages began to rumble at the door of Hua Cai Yuan, it seems that many guests today have been unable to suppress their curiosity, want to see what this woman's shop will look like.

The first to arrive was a young son of the Ning family, this young son is also a distant junior of Ning Yongda, who boarded the door of Huacaiyuan at the time of Ning Yongda's funeral, but he did not shy away from wearing an ochre-red bright brocade robe, and the festivity was close to Dong Zizhen.

Ning Xia Qing lowered his eyes, and only glanced coldly, anyway, this person is also a distant relative, and he has no obligation to fast and wear plain clothes, but after all, he is related to his relatives, and when he visits at this time, he should always take care of the other party's mood, and wearing bright red will inevitably collide with the deceased relatives.

Ning Xia Qing only thought that this person was an unruly person, but he didn't care about anything in his heart, and at this moment, the young prince Ning who was dressed in ochre suddenly spoke.

Standing at the door of Hua Caiyuan, staring at the plaque with the red cloth that had not yet been uncovered, the young prince Ning who was brightly dressed and couldn't help but take a sip, sneered and said loudly: "Ning Yongda's mourning period has not yet expired, so he will cover it with a red cloth?" It's really unfilial......"

Ningxia Qing didn't want to have a lot of trouble with this kind of person on this kind of day, so he just didn't hear it, but Dong Zizhen greeted him with a smile, and said: "You always have to open for business and live a good life, and some small sections naturally don't have to be restrained." ”

Young Master Ning snorted coldly and said, "How can there be such an informal woman in the world? is still in the filial piety period, and he has come out several times to swagger through the market, which is simply ruining the court. I'm afraid that the reputation of our Ning clan for hundreds of years will be ruined here. ”

The peer shopkeeper who came to congratulate him on the side relieved the siege and said: "Since the Ning family has vowed to recruit a son-in-law, it is equivalent to a son." Since he is a son, he has the responsibility of taking on the family business, and it is okay to open the door to do business. ”

Dong Zizhen hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "The shopkeeper He is here, and he is far away!" There is a long way to go! Come on, come on, let's take a look, and we'll invite you to the Wanshou Restaurant on the street for a banquet! You're going to have a great time today! Don't get drunk! ”

Shopkeeper He returned the salute and said with a smile: "Anyway, when I stood at the door, I saw a few horses in the outermost part of the shop, which was really brilliant, Ning Dangjia and Dong Shopkeeper are really capable, and they can get such good goods!" Tut-tut...... In my opinion, with Ning Dangjia and Dong Shopkeeper here, the business of this Huacai Yuan will definitely be thriving! Arch the hand and say auspicious words: "Day into gold!" Doujin every day! ”

Dong Zizhen said with a humble face: "He shopkeeper has good eyesight!" But these words really hurt our Huacai Garden, what shopkeeper's shop is the real daily gold! Come and come where the shopkeeper, please please inside, there is a good Tieguanyin inside! Then he turned his face and ordered: "Cuiyu, go and serve tea to Shopkeeper He!" ”

Ningxia Qing knew that this was Dong Zizhen's benefit. Dong Zi has rough skin and thick meat, can climb, can stretch, and there is no one Dong Zi really dare not pull forward. For people like Dong Zizhen, it is to give him a rag, and with his enthusiasm, he can find a buyer on the street, just because he is born to be so good at dealing with people, and he is never tired of it.

In fact, the reason why so many people came to congratulate today, and the reason why Huacaiyuan can be so lively, is also indispensable to Dong Zizhen's credit. After all, few of these peer shopkeepers who came to cheer had any friendship with her shop in the past.

In the past, when Ning Yongda was here, her family's business had been lukewarm, and although there were also people who had good relations among her peers, it was far less than today's prosperity. Let's just say that the shopkeeper He just now, Ningxia Qing is not familiar with it at all. With Ning Yongda's honest temperament, I'm afraid that when Ning Yongda was there, Ning Yongda probably didn't say a few words to the shopkeeper He.

However, Dong Zizhen was able to climb the shopkeeper He in just a few days, and he would not become a friend with the shopkeeper He or anything, but inviting the shopkeeper He to come here to cheer was a piece of cake for Dong Zizhen.

In the blink of an eye, a few more shopkeepers of the fabric shops in Liu'an County arrived, needless to say, naturally they were not her family's former acquaintances, they were all brought by Dong Zizhen.

These people laughed and talked to Dong Zizhen, while flattering Ning Ningqing: "Ning Dangjia can take on this important responsibility as a woman, she is really a heroine among women!" "To be honest, in this world, few men can really think like this, but these shopkeepers naturally won't say anything unpleasant in front of Hua Caiyuan, not to mention that these shopkeepers have no interest disputes with Ningxia Qing, so they are naturally happy to say something good.

Those who don't want to be obedient are all those who have interest disputes with Ningxia Qing, such as Ning Zhiheng, who got out of the carriage, sneered and sarcastically said: "Ning Yongda's mourning period has not yet expired, and he has already swaggered like this, I look at this Huacaiyuan with such lights, it doesn't look like there is a funeral at home, but it looks like there is a happy event!" ”

Ning Xia Qing glanced slightly, she had long disdained to engage in such a boring argument with the Ning clan without involving a conflict of interests. Dong Zizhen stood up instead of her, and said with a smile: "This son's words are wrong, and there is no conflict between happy events and funerals. If the old shopkeeper has a spirit in the sky, he will probably be relieved to see that the shop he left behind by our owner is so prosperous. ”

"Humph! I don't know if my hapless Uncle Yongda will laugh at Jiuquan. I only know that since ancient times, there has been a saying that filial piety comes first, and Ning Yongda's daughter openly put on the lights during her father's funeral for the sake of that little family business, which is unfilial. Since ancient times, there have been women who have three virtues and four virtues, and women should regard virtue as more important than life, but Ning Yongda's daughter is so bad that she is unchaste. ”

Ning Zhiheng turned his head and said loudly to everyone: "Such an unfilial and unchaste woman, you should regard it as a shame, and ask this woman to respect women's virtues and do what women should do, this is the right way." If anyone not only does not look at it as ashamed, but has a business relationship with Hua Caiyuan, and makes this woman go further and further on the wrong path, it is aiding and abetting abuse, and will be punished by God! ”

Before Ning Xia Qing could open his mouth to refute it, Dong Zizhen first said with a smile: "What this son said may not be unreasonable, but it is just a secular rule, which is inevitably rigid." Although I didn't know much about the old shopkeeper, when I saw the style of this female head of my family, I knew that the old shopkeeper was definitely not a rigid and stubborn person. If the old shopkeeper sees that the head of the house closes his door in order to abide by the rules, regardless of the family business and the livelihood of the family, then he will be sad. ”

Ning Zhiheng was a little annoyed and angry: "What are you?" Is it the number one in Liu'an County? Dare to talk nonsense here! You weigh yourself in your heart, weigh yourself a few pounds and a few taels, there is no place for you to speak here! ”

"Childe's words are bad, I am the shopkeeper hired by Huacaiyuan seriously, Childe is talking at the door of my Huacaiyuan, and it is about our Huacaiyuan master, I am naturally qualified to say one or two." Dong Zizhen said as he took a few steps forward and began to talk endlessly.

"Actually, what Childe just said is true, but isn't it more precious than ordinary women that we have to do our best to support our living mothers and grandmothers regardless of our personal reputation? If you want to be famous, wouldn't it be simple, but a weak woman, if she can put her personal reputation aside in order to support the burden left by her father, then she is really a heroine among women! What do you say? ”

"Childe is young, and he shouldn't be so rigid. It's better to come to Huacaiyuan more in the future to walk around, and naturally we will learn the open-mindedness of our masters. It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, it's better for the son to come first today to take a look, our Huacaiyuan has a lot of good materials! It's great for you to buy and give away clothes at home! This son is a noble man at first glance, and he will not be stingy with his purse, right? ”

After speaking, Dong Zizhen even took a few steps forward, and shouted loudly without shame: "Everyone come to Huacaiyuan to have a look!" Wah Choi Court opens today! Buy a lot of giveaways! The more you buy, the better the deal! All of you come and take a look, you will regret missing today! ”

This Dong Zizhen has never read any books, but he talks in a set way, and he is really a well-spoken person, which is another benefit of Dong Zizhen.

Dong Zizhen is a thorough businessman, like other shopkeepers, he must not offend people when he speaks, but he will never dare to speak, for example, when dealing with people like Ning Zhiheng, Dong Zizhen will definitely refute the past, and will never let Ning Zhiheng's words affect Hua Caiyuan's business, which has saved a lot of tongues for Ningxia Qing.

Ning Zhiheng spat on the ground, looked around in disbelief, and wanted to call the stewards of Master Ning who were with him to make trouble again, but before he could speak, there was a noisy sound of gongs and drums outside.

Everyone in Huacaiyuan was stunned, they didn't know whose gong and drum sound, they couldn't help but poke their heads out to look, only to see that the comers were huge, and the black pressure was piled up on Xu Ning Street, and they were not excessively loud, only occasionally striking the gong to show that pedestrians should avoid, but the gong sound was crisp and loud, and it sounded particularly melodious in the morning when there was still a little mist.

Everyone looked at it curiously, only to see that the long queue actually stopped at the door of Huacaiyuan, and then a person who looked like a steward stepped forward and said respectfully: "Congratulations on the opening of Huacaiyuan, Gufu will give a small gift, and a plaque inscribed with goodness like water, in order to celebrate." ”

Everyone was stunned, even Ningxia Qing was a little surprised, speaking of which, she did invite Gu Fu to help the momentum, but she didn't expect Gu Fu to give such a big face, which almost clearly told everyone that although this Hua Cai Yuan is small, it is covered by Gu Mansion, and whoever can't get along with Hua Cai Yuan can't get along with Gu Mansion.

The steward of the Gu Mansion walked past Ning Zhiheng, who was already pale and pale standing at the door, and said to Ning Ningqing respectfully: "Congratulations to Ning Dangjia, this is a congratulatory gift specially prepared by my old lady for Ning Dang's family, and I hope Ning Dangjia will accept it with a smile." ”

Ning Xia Qing took the congratulatory gift, thanked him, and hurriedly asked Dong Zizhen to lead the people from the Gu Mansion to the Wanshou Restaurant to sit, and the people from the Gu Mansion found an excuse to leave, and Ning Xia Qing did not stay.

Gu Mansion is such a noble family, naturally unwilling to sit at the same table with these guests invited by Hua Caiyuan, after all, not only will they lose their value, but there will also be many people to flatter, for Gu Mansion, this is really a troublesome matter. Therefore, Ning Xia Qing just said politely, and asked Dong Zizhen to send off the guests respectfully.

Dong Zizhen nodded and sent the people of the Gu Mansion away, but unexpectedly, the long queue of the Gu Mansion had not yet finished, and there were even more powerful characters arriving!

This person is not as orderly as Gu Fu, but the pomp is huge, and before he arrived, someone had already shouted: "Wan Shengxing Xiao Gongzi congratulates Ning on the opening of his family, and gives a thin gift, and a plaque with the inscription of the road to simplicity, I wish Huacaiyuan smooth sailing!" ”

When everyone looked at the plaque, they couldn't help but be stunned, not to mention the value of the plaque itself, just the Xiao family gold seal on the plaque was already immeasurably priceless! Shaw's recognition is something that ordinary merchants can't ask for in their lifetime!

The plaques of Gu Fu and Xiao are the treasures of the two town houses, which will be hung on the main hall of Huacaiyuan in the future, not to mention the peers who came to find fault, even the demons and monsters may be afraid of three points!

After the words fell, a man wearing a white jade purple and gold crown with a bundle of hair, a brocade and glorious gold forehead with his eyebrows, a fur robe with a dark blue crow feather collar, and a small court boot full of embroidered Shu brocade on his feet, the quite elegant but extremely luxurious son arrived, it was Xiao Jingyuan.

Ningxia Qing was stunned, she really didn't expect Xiao Jingyuan to be there in person! And if everyone was stunned just now, now their jaws are dropped, and those shopkeepers who have worked hard in the mall for many years and have already seen a lot of knowledge can't help but whisper-

"Is this really the legendary Xiao Gongzi?"

"I've heard a lot about the Xiao family for so many years, but it's the first time I've seen Xiao Gongzi......"

"Yes, I can be regarded as a person who has been in this industry for decades, I have basically seen people in this line in Liu'an County, but this is the first time I have seen this Xiao Gongzi!"

"This Hua Caiyuan is too powerful, it can be congratulated by Xiao Gongzi in person!"

"Yes, isn't this Hua Caiyuan the little shop that Ning Yongda used to have? How did you turn into such a fragrant dumpling? What the hell is going on? ”

"Eh, did you see it, it's right next to Xiao Gongzi, and there is an official here today!"

"Actually...... Even the official is here! ”

"Oh my God, when did this little Huacaiyuan catch up with the official?!"

Anyone who does business knows what it means to be in the government.

It means a turning point in the fate of the merchant.

It means that from then on, it will be smooth sailing, and the joints that others have tried their best and scattered their wealth can not get through, as long as they take the official mansion, it is a smooth road.

All the guests who came to congratulate looked at Gu Xuesong in a daze, only to see Gu Xuesong standing there like ice and snow, with crooked eyebrows and eyes, a smile at the corners of his lips, and ethereal clothes, as if he could catch the moon in the world, and like an immortal beyond the world, indifferent and elegant, but graceful and gorgeous like a mirror flower and water moon, and like a green lotus in the dust, with warm eyebrows and eyes.

He is not as green or white as usual, but a chic court dress, tortoiseshell cicadas in front and back, and the red Luo Qingyuan is embroidered with clouds and cranes, in such a season, Gu Xuesong has already put on warm ears, and has a gold belt on his body, wearing medicine and jade, which makes people feel awe.

All the guests were silent, if the arrival of Gu Fu and Xiao Jingyuan was concerned, everyone still dared to marvel at it, but after seeing Gu Xuesong, everyone could only have a feeling of wanting to bow their heads and be silent.
