Wouldn't it have been a disaster if they had just walked down when the cup had been dropped?

At the first moment, Zhang Shou's first reaction was such a thought. But when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't help but secretly hehe. Ah Liu didn't say anything by his side, there was also a Cao Wu who was quite famous in Cangzhou on the side, not to mention throwing a cup, even if he threw a knife, he would definitely be followed by them. But how unlucky and innocent is this passerby?

It doesn't matter if people hate him or Zhu Ying, but this behavior is a bastard! He hates this kind of bastard who hurts people with high-altitude throwing objects the most!

Zhang Shou saw that the whole street of Bliss was as if nothing had happened, the cars and horses were still flowing, and the passers-by were still going their own way, and the guys in the shops on both sides were soliciting customers, and the people were hawking, and the people watching the excitement were watching the excitement...... All in all, only the unlucky passer-by who was busy bandaging his wounds, but only dared to curse in a whisper, seemed to be selectively ignored by everyone.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at Ah Liu, and saw that the young man immediately went up to check on the unlucky ghost's injury, so he glanced sideways at Cao Wu.

Of course, Cao Wu knew what Zhang Shou's glance meant, in fact, at this moment, he regretted all his intestines. Considering that it would be a big loss if people had a bad feeling for him, he could only say in a low voice: "Gongzi Zhang, I just accidentally learned that the son of the Hejian prefect family returned to Cangzhou in embarrassment the day before yesterday, so I privately inquired if anyone had a grudge against the Zhu family, so I ......"

Zhang Shou simply wanted to shed tears of sympathy for the prefect of Hejian...... Raising a son in such a pit, it is really a high-ranking official who will be dragged down! was beaten by Zhu Ying and ran to Cangzhou to catch the pigtails of the Zhu family? You don't want to think that Zhu Tingfang's killing god is now an envoy! It must be known that Zhu Ying was trained by this eldest brother before, and said that he should take people to the yamen to eat a killing stick!

But according to Zhu Tingfang's temper and methods, as for such a son-in-law who jumps up and down but is not familiar with the world? To say that Zhu Tingfang didn't know that this person was in Cangzhou City now, that would be a strange thing! I don't know if the future uncle is to put a long line to catch big fish2......

According to Zhang Shou's character of taking revenge and not staying overnight, he originally planned to let Ah Liu go upstairs to get the damn boy down and cure him for hurting people, but at this time he changed his mind. Seeing that Ah Liu had come back quickly, he immediately whispered a few words in his ear, he nodded, and then said to Cao Wu, who was full of anxiety: "Okay, let's go!" ”

Cao Wu didn't expect Zhang Shou and the prefect of Hejian to clash directly face-to-face, but the scene of smashing the cup in the air just now really startled him, for fear that Zhang Shou would be angry with him after he had a seizure on the spot.

So, at this time, Zhang Shou is willing to give up, where is he unwilling? At that moment, he responded continuously, squeezed out a smile and put Zhang Shou forward. However, when passing by a well-known restaurant in Cangzhou that he had already looked for, he was about to introduce the special wine and food here, but he didn't want Zhang Shou to raise his hand and point to a silk village opposite that had not yet been opened.

"On a big night, this Fahrenheit silk village is still open? Will anyone still come to buy silk at night? ”

Cao Wu was slightly stunned, and when he looked up, he smiled and said: "That's the silk and satin village of the Hua family in Suzhou, all of which are top-notch materials shipped from Suzhou." Many of them use multicolored silk threads and gold and silver threads, and the more they shine at night, the more colorful they can show, so they are often seen at night when they are opened on the street of Bliss. ”

Thinking that Jiang Dashao had mentioned that the Jiang family and the Suzhou Hua family were in-laws, Zhang Shou suddenly became interested. Anyway, his trip today was completely a walk and food in the evening, and he walked straight over immediately. As soon as the bored young man in front of the door saw a customer coming, he immediately stood up straight, but he only smiled and did not solicit the courtesy.

First, the positioning of his own silk village is there, not a small household that solicits guests diligently, and secondly, although he said that he looked at Zhang Shou's appearance, clothes, and gestures, no matter how he looked at it, he looked like he came out of a high-ranking family, but since he had never seen it after working here for three years, then he must be a foreigner......

The possibility of a foreigner passing by Elysium Street and buying silk and returning is very small! You must know that the price of buying Suzhou silk and Suzhou embroidery in Cangzhou is twice as expensive as buying it locally in Suzhou!

Until he saw Cao Wu with a serious face behind Zhang Shou.

Although Cao Wu was not a frequent visitor to this cloth village, he was a frequent visitor to this Bliss Street, and of course the young man knew him, and his originally slightly reserved smile immediately turned into a warm smile.

And when he heard Cao Wu call Zhang Gongzi in a courteous voice and invited someone in, he realized that it was really a big customer, so he hurriedly followed in, and saw Zhang Shou standing in front of a piece of gold thread embroidered butterfly wearing flowers, he hurriedly went to the side and carefully took a glass lamp.

He was very enthusiastic to hold the lamp for Zhang Shou and introduced: "This is our Huajia's unique weaving, and the gold thread is just golden and brilliant under the sun, but it seems to change color under the light, so it is the color butterfly ......."

As he spoke, he quietly observed the reaction with the corner of his eye, and saw that this young customer, even in the face of the most famous ingenious satin in this store, only lightly praised, he felt more and more that the other party was either rich or expensive, but he led people to look around, introduced some of the most famous materials, but he heard an unexpected request.

"Do you have plain cotton here?"

The young man was stunned for a moment, and instinctively glanced at Cao Wu. Immediately after, he saw the chief dart head who was called the fifth master by many merchants on Bliss Street and said with a smile: "Childe, this Fahrenheit Silk Village only sells silk, and there is a cloth village a few steps next door, but it is closed when it gets dark." ”

Peeked at Cao Wu, who kept calling Zhang Shougongzi, but the young man did not slander the opponent, and said with a smile on his face: "That Renji cloth village is the owner of Songjiang, and what it sells is not ordinary. All of them are fine, light and soft, and the quality is comparable to that of tribute, but the price is much more expensive than that of local cotton cloth. ”

Zhang Shou suddenly sighed lightly: "Oh, it's so much more expensive, and some people sell it?" It seems that there are really a lot of rich and noble families in Cangzhou! ”

Cao Wu chuckled in his heart, and he couldn't figure out what Zhang Shou meant, but then he only heard the young man laugh and said: "Cangzhou is located on the edge of the canal, and it travels from the south to the north. Our family is related to the Jiang family, so we borrowed the young grandmother's dowry shop to open such a shop, making money second and becoming famous. ”

"After all, Cangzhou produces cotton, but does not produce much silk, our silk is unique in Cangzhou, those big families buy silk, of course, our family is the first choice. As for that Renji...... Tsk, they don't just care about selling expensive, they also want to dominate the North cloth with quality. You must know that when Cangzhou used two spindles and hand-spinning wheels, people had already got four spindles on the pedal spinning wheels. Most of their spinning and weaving cloth are women, unlike us where even men do this......"

Zhang Shou didn't expect this little guy to be quite talkative, and at this time he was happy to chat with people more, and he knew that this little guy was not a native of Cangzhou, but from Suzhou, and his family had relatives in Songjiang, so he could also talk about the situation of Songjiang cotton.

"The men on the other side of Songjiang would rather wander the streets than work when they are not working, but the women weave at home almost all year round, and even girls as young as seven or eight years old will help! In fact, if a family of five all goes into battle, from cotton to cotton cloth, they can weave one horse a day, and sell it to the cloth collector, at least one hundred yuan, and three times a month, which is much more leisurely than farming! ”

"But few of those men are willing to help their mothers-in-law! Even the magistrate of Shanghai County, Songjiang Prefecture, who was in front of him, said, 'Local folk men are so good at leisure that they don't have a job'! ”

The young man said on the one hand, and on the other hand, he said: "On the contrary, in Cangzhou, there are many more men engaged in textiles than in Jiangnan." I heard that it was because in the early years, when Emperor Taizu went to the capital to ascend the throne, he spent half a month in Cangzhou, urging cotton planting and leaving behind the ancestral teachings. The Tao is that textiles do not distinguish between men and women, as long as they make money to support their families. Therefore, Cangzhou has been a male spinning and female weaver for a long time. ”

"Really, it's a lot more profitable than farming!"

Can this also be related to Emperor Taizu? Taizu, you are so busy......

Zhang Shou couldn't help but complain in his heart, however, after this young guy said it, he only felt that the image of the crossing colleague suddenly became fuller. On the contrary, he couldn't help but sigh when he thought that the Shanghai man who was said to be able to go to the hall and the kitchen in later generations gave people the image of being idle.

After thinking about it for so long, and hearing a lot of interesting things about Jiangnan, since the cloth village had closed for business at night, he also looked around, and then asked with a smile: "I've come here, and I can't enter Baoshan and go back empty." You pick two pieces of silk, one for a young girl, and you have to be bright and dazzling, and you can choose the most beautiful! The other horse should be dignified and generous. ”

Ah Liu was originally leaning against the door, and the whole person was hidden in the shadow of the light, but at this time, when he heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. It should be bright and dazzling, and it should be suitable for young girls, obviously, it is for Zhu Ying. As for the other horse to be dignified and generous, it is likely to be given to the Wu family. Merely......

The boy's eyes blinked, and a question suddenly came to mind. Did he bring enough money? Fortunately, Zhang Shou didn't say that he wanted to bring a horse for Mrs. Tai and Jiuniang...... However, he heard that those big families in the capital usually let people pay when they send them to the door, or let them settle the account once a month, and even some people are furious when they come to check out......

When Ah Liu gradually wandered out of the world, the young man was overjoyed.

He has to guard the shop every day, of course, he has never seen Zhang Shou, but he can see the local famous Cao Wuye accompanying the side, and the other party is very interested in textiles. Don't seek merit, but seek no fault!

But I didn't expect that people would give him such a big gift, if he can really make such a big business, he will not only be able to pay in front of the shopkeeper this month, but also get a lot of remuneration!

The young man thought as he rushed to the samples, looked around for a while, and then went straight out the back door, and in a few moments he called another stout man, and together they carried a piece of cloth back, yes, yes...... Lift!

Zhang Shou realized that he had just been on a whim, forgetting that a piece of cloth in the first year was ten zhang, one hundred feet, converted into metric, that is, more than thirty meters, even if it was silk, the weight was not trivial! Seeing the two of them unfolding the silk in front of him, even if there was no glass lamp, only under the dim light of the four walls, the cloth was still colorful and shining, he nodded.

This is the colorful butterfly satin he first saw, no matter the color or style, it is very suitable for Zhu Ying.

After approving this one, he then finalized the material of another royal blue horse as quickly as possible, and then ordered: "Send it to Changlu County tomorrow, by the way, how much are these two satins?" ”

The young man saw that this business was about to be done, and he was sure that Zhang Shou was really the envoy in the Yazhong of Changlu County, he immediately smiled, but he still pretended to be ignorant and smiled: "Zhang Gongzi, these two horses are also top-notch in Suzhou, and they will be sold for eight yuan a horse, and if they are sent to Cangzhou by water, the price will be doubled, if you want it, you ......."

Without waiting for anyone to finish speaking, Zhang Shou nodded and said: "Ah Liu, set the money for him, and the rest will be settled tomorrow in Changlu County, even if it is thirty-two times." ”

Cao Wu on the side was stunned for a moment when he saw that Zhang Shou didn't make a counteroffer at all, and when he saw the little guy's face, he was frightened, and he secretly scolded a boy who has a thief's heart but no thief's courage - if you ask you to quote, you will quote a real price, and why do you open your mouth? I didn't expect that this envoy didn't plan to bargain with you at all, so he just agreed, right?

If your owner or shopkeeper knows about this, you have to shoot you to death, a daring boy!

Thinking of selling some friendship to the Suzhou Hua family, he hurriedly stepped forward to bargain, but Zhang Shou didn't seem to care too much, and when he heard that it was only twenty times, he didn't ask about the previous exaggerated offer, and after nodding his head in approval, he left the shop. He was worried that Zhang Shou felt that he had brought someone into the black shop, and he chased after him to explain a few words, but he heard Zhang Shouzheng ordering Ah Liu on the side.

"Tomorrow, you go to Jiang's house and ask Jiang Siyuan to come and see me. I remember that the reason why Songjiang cloth was marketed in the north was because the imperial court used Songjiang cloth to pay the military salaries of the border towns in the north. In Songjiang cloth, the high-quality ones are naturally good, but the cheap cloth to the north will at least have a more transportation cost, and the cotton cloth of Cangzhou or Xingtai cannot be compared. At the end of the day, it's just man-made. ”

Hearing this, Cao Wudeng took a light breath. Is this an attempt to break the monopoly of Songjiang cloth in the distribution of military salaries on the Zhubians? Wait, but what do you say in front of him?
