Chapter 202: Yingluo's Determination
JD set.
Li Mu's money-throwing activities have attracted a wave of popularity for Jingdongji, so that the people of Chang'an know that there is such a place as Jingdongji in Chang'an, where there is a shop that sells fur, but the price is very expensive, and ordinary people can't afford it.
With the end of the money-throwing campaign, the popularity gradually decreased again. This is normal, after all, now Jingdong has a total of two and a half stores. One is Bai Haoer's grocery store, the main product is 'mahjong', and the other is Wang Ou's fur shop, the main product is fur, and the cheapest one is fifty yuan up, and the common people are directly persuaded to quit. There is also half of it, which is Bai Qiaoqiao's shop that is being renovated, and the rest of the place is just for small traders to rent and collect a little rent on days when there is Marseille.
After all, the location of Jingdong set is still too biased.
The daughter opened the store in Jingdongji, and Bai Haoer was very happy. Of course, he is not happy that he can see his daughter at any time, he is happy that if Qiaoqiao opens a store here, Li Mu will definitely not ignore Jingdongji. Li Mu's ability, Bai Haoer is convinced, Jingdong Ji is so biased, if someone else comes to operate, he will definitely not make money, but if Li Mu is at the helm, he will definitely be able to make money.
Since Li Mu came to Chang'an, he has been like the God of Wealth, with money, gold and silver revolving around him, how to fiddle with it. Don't say that you can eat a bite of meat and rub some soup, you can't enjoy it all.
So Bai Hao'er made up her mind that she would rather not do anything than help her daughter decorate the store. Therefore, early in the morning, he sent his idlers over, as long as they were employed, they were casually called. This can make the workers from the Ministry of Industry not very happy, you idlers have done all the hard work, what are we doing? finally won the opportunity to show his face in front of the Hou Ye, and was robbed of the limelight by you idlers, didn't we fight for nothing?
But in front of Bai Qiaoqiao, the two groups of people didn't want to quarrel. They are all working hard, and they are working hard. Originally, a mechanic served a technician, but now there are more mechanics, and the technicians can't do it, so they have to pass the word back and transfer a group of technicians, and the progress is naturally fast.
Sitting here, is in charge of the heavenly and earthly engineering Gongsun Kang, now he has been promoted to the Ministry of Industry member Wailang, he can be promoted, it is completely Li Mu's support, keep in mind this kindness, originally sent a master can do things, he personally attended, personally supervised, than the construction of heaven and earth more meticulous energy, several modifications to the drawings, the shop repeatedly expanded.
Originally, I only planned to make a small shop six or seven meters wide, but in the end, it has reached eighteen meters wide, which is enough to catch up with a house.
Interestingly, on the other side of the road, the fur shop that had been renovated had been renovated, and I don't know where to get a group of workers, this side is under construction, that side is also being built, this side is expanding, and the opposite side is also expanding, Li Zhien asked in the past, and the people who worked said that the owner wanted to build a warehouse to store furs, so angry that Li Zhien almost cursed, if he couldn't find Wang Ou, he would have to do a fight.
"I'm!"
Li Zhien returned to his house, found Bai Qiaoqiao, and said, "Madam, the other side is clearly compared to us!" Can't lose to her! I'll go and tell Gongsun Kang, let's cover up this street and see whose shop is bigger! ”
"Forget it." Bai Qiaoqiao took Li Zhien's hand and said: "If she competes, let her follow, and blame us, you have to choose the shop opposite her, and replace it with you, you can't be angry." We've changed it a few times, and they've followed it a few times, and now it looks like they're about the same width, so be it, no matter how big it is, it's not like it. ”
"Madam, you are always like this, let Ah let you, sooner or later you will be bullied to death!"
"My husband is my husband, who bullies whom. When our shop opens, it is serious to see whose business is good, if our shop is really as long as a street, and the business is not good, outsiders will say that the wife and concubine of the Hou will only be extravagant and wasteful. ”
"But I can't get angry!"
"Okay, don't be angry, it's almost noon, let's go home, my husband is sick, I'm worried that he won't eat well. There's someone from the Ministry here, so it's going to be fine. ”
Referring to Li Mu's condition, Li Zhien couldn't care less about being angry with Wang Ou, nodded and went out to call a coachman.
Bai Qiaoqiao cleaned up for a while, and suddenly caught a glimpse of two figures out of the corner of his eye, and felt a little familiar, so he came to the window and looked over. After a closer look, she recognized it. One of these two women is the woman who had a dispute with Li Mu on the day of the opening of heaven and earth, and it seems to be Wei Zheng's daughter, named Wei Yingluo.
Li Mu composed three songs of "Qingping Tune" in a row, just to compare with her. At that time, Bai Qiaoqiao was in the private room upstairs, and Wei Yingluo was downstairs, and the two never met or spoke. Maybe Wei Yingluo can't recognize Bai Qiaoqiao, but Bai Qiaoqiao remembers her. Not only her, but all the women who have contact with Li Mu, as long as Bai Qiaoqiao knows, she will definitely remember and never forget.
How could she be here?
Bai Qiaoqiao had some doubts in her heart, and her intuition told her that it might be related to Li Mu.
At this time, the carriage arrived at the door, and Li Zhien called Bai Qiaoqiao to get in the car, and Bai Qiaoqiao withdrew his gaze and got into the carriage. The coachman flicked his whip, and the carriage turned around and passed by Wei Yingluo's master and servant.
Seeing the carriage turning around, Wei Yingluo hurriedly pulled the pearl and dodged.
"What a magnanimous carriage," Pearl watched the carriage go away, and muttered enviously: "Miss, when will our master be able to sit in such a carriage?"
"Daddy is honest and self-controlled, and never takes bribes. There are a lot of money every month, how can you afford to sit in such a carriage. Didn't you see the woman who just got into the carriage, she was wearing a fur, she must be either rich or expensive......" Suddenly Wei Yingluo thought of who this person was, looking at this woman's dress, she had the air of someone, and this is Jingdong Ji, is it his wife?
Wouldn't he let his wife come out and run a shop?
Pearl just said casually that what she was really worried about was something else.
After having breakfast with the craftsmen and reading the newspaper, the master and servant left Guangdefang and came to Jingdongji. Pearl finally knew Miss's plan, she wanted to defect to Li Mu and become a female professor who taught craftsmen to read.
And they came to Jingdongji to inquire about Li Mu's home, that is, Bai Hao'er, so that they could go to Li Mu to talk about it. Thinking of two girls' families and exploring a man's residence, even if Pearl is a subordinate, he can't wipe his face. Especially when I asked this man's father-in-law about his family, I felt very strange inexplicably. If you annoy others and publicize it, you don't care, what can you do with the reputation of the young lady?
Pearl can remember the appearance of the princess, very vicious. If Li Mu hadn't been there that day, how could they have eaten meat on Xiaoshi? Now I don't know how they are doing with Xiaoshi, whether the princess will give them food without Li Mu staring.
Wei Yingluo's heart was also a mess.
Her original idea was to find Li Mu to help her get through the difficulties. And what she said to Pearl now was what she had just thought of on the way from Guangdefang to Jingdongji. When she read the newspaper to the craftsmen, she felt the thirst for knowledge of these illiterate craftsmen. There is also the content of the "Teacher Said": no noble, no cheap, no long and no less, the Tao exists, and the teacher exists. These few words greatly shocked her.
Although Wei Yingluo has not worshipped any famous teachers, because of Wei Zheng's relationship, she has also seen a lot of Shandong Confucians. Such as Kong Yingda, the Louvre, Zheng Jing and others are all world-famous.
Listening to these people, reading is a noble thing. To what extent, the Louvre once said that first-class scholars should bury their heads in the classics of the saints and pursue the avenue of the world. Official? It's so cheesy! How can an official, burdened by fame and fortune and full of chores, devote himself to the study of the saints' classics? Therefore, a first-class scholar should not even be an official. He should be like Confucius, sit down with three thousand disciples, enjoy the offerings of his disciples, and be a noble person.
Such a person is obviously not a 'pariah' like a craftsman or a farmer, but must be a scholar.
However, "The Teacher Said" believes that no matter how high or low the status is, no matter how old or young, the place where the truth exists should be the place where the teacher exists. Isn't this what Confucius said, there is no class in teaching?
How pitiful the inquisitive eyes of those craftsmen are. Don't they want to be literate and read newspapers? But they didn't have the opportunity to learn, and most of the people who could read and write were scholars. Scholars are ashamed to associate with these 'untouchables', let alone impart knowledge.
But Wei Yingluo doesn't see it that way, she thinks that Li Mu is right, everyone has the instinct and power to pursue knowledge, and she is willing to be the one who teaches her. But at the same time, she also understands that this matter is difficult, because today's social atmosphere does not allow it.
Although in the Tang Dynasty, Cheng Zhu science was not yet popular, and women did not have as many rules that later generations needed to follow. But the people of the Tang Dynasty were still ashamed of letting their daughters show their heads. Take this matter as an example, if Wei Zheng knew that his daughter was going to be a craftsman's teacher, he would never agree.
Although Wei Zheng may not make as much money as a skilled worker in a month. But he is a scholar, and can the affairs of a scholar be the same as that of a craftsman? Can the daughter of a scholar mingle with a craftsman? This is something that is not tolerated by the law of etiquette.
In the end, Li Mu will support her, she has no idea in her heart.
was thinking wildly, when a voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Miss, may I ask you, are you the daughter of Duke Wei?" ”
"Huh?" Wei Yingluo came back to her senses and looked up to see two messengers, one of whom was holding a portrait in his hand and was comparing them.
Wei Yingluo was flustered, glanced at the pearl who was also flustered, forced herself to calm down, and denied: "You have recognized the wrong person!" I'm not Wei Yingluo! ”
When Pearl heard this, she almost fainted, Miss, you are so stupid that you still ran away from home!?
