Tang Ying smiled slightly, although she was not a vain woman, but at this time, she was still very happy when she was praised and envied by the sisters because she wore the dress sent by Lu Yuan.

After all, there is no girl who does not want to be more beautiful in front of other girls.

At this time, Tang Ying was not embarrassed to speak because he wanted to advertise for Lu Yuan, but naturally replied: "This is made of the new spring breeze cloth of the Lu family in Xinhufang." ”

After hearing this, Huang Jia'er hurriedly instructed her maid Xin'er: "When you go back, tell the housekeeper and let him go to the Lu family in Xinhufang to buy some such cloth." ”

Xin'er agreed.

This way.

Zhou Yachun also shouted that she wanted to go back and tell her mother that the house would also buy such cloth to make new clothes.

And here, Tang Ying couldn't stand Zhou Yachun's soft grinding and hard bubbles, so he changed his clothes and let Zhou Yachun wear his dress.

After Zhou Yachun wore it out, she was as happy as Tang Ying that day, and it also aroused the envy of the sisters.

"Sister Tang Ying, who made your style of clothes, it's so beautiful!"

Zhou Yachun said excitedly, and for a while he was a little reluctant to take it off and return it to Tang Ying.

Huang Jia'er and other official ladies also echoed: "Yes, this style is really novel and beautiful, Tang Ying, you can't help but tell us." ”

Tang Ying couldn't help blushing for a while: "This was made for me by Lu Yuan, and it was made from his own fabric." ”

Huang Jia'er suddenly came to her senses, covered her mouth and giggled: "It turned out that your future husband did it for you!" ”

"Sister Tang Ying, didn't you say that Lu Yuan's son of a businessman is not to your liking, and he also said that he wanted to divorce him, why are you wearing the clothes he gave you today?"

Zhou Yachun also asked with interest.

Tang Ying's face turned even redder at this time, and he couldn't help but find a crack in the ground to get into, and couldn't help but complain in his heart why Lu Yuan let him do this, so he had to hang his hand and point for a while: "Don't mention this matter, isn't it for Sister Yachun's birthday, why did you talk about me!" ”

Although Tang Ying is very shy now, her coming to Zhou Yachun this time has indeed brought great benefits to Lu Yuan.

The next morning.

As soon as Lu Yuan came to his cloth shop and removed the door panel, he saw a carriage parked outside the door.

At this time, a strong man with a beard stepped down from the carriage and said, "I am Zhou Bei, the housekeeper of Master Zhou's mansion, and my young lady asked me to see your spring breeze cloth here, I wonder if the store can take it out for me to see." ”

Zhou Bei said and looked around in the Lujiabu shop, he actually didn't understand why his young lady came to the Lujiabu shop to buy what spring breeze cloth.

You must know that his Zhou family is a scholar of Shangshu, and even the cloth used by the third-class servants is Songjiang's high-grade cotton cloth.

And now, this Lujia cloth store is so small, and it still uses cheesecloth as the main commodity, what good cotton cloth can be sold!

"Naturally, there is, and the objective is a little waiting."

Lu Yuan asked Uncle Fei to bring the spring breeze cloth to this week.

Zhou Bei only glanced at it, then he was stunned, and his hands gestured on the side of the cloth, and sighed: "There is such a wide cloth in this world!" ”

Then this week, Bei touched it again, like a girl who touched the Red Flower Building, full of intoxication and satisfaction: "It's really smooth!" This texture is far more dense than Matsue's finest cotton! ”

Saying that, this week Bei began to ask Lu Yuan the price: "How much does this cloth cost a horse." ”

"The market price of ordinary cotton cloth is three dollars a horse, and we are naturally more expensive, but because it has just been shipped, it is discounted by nine percent, and each horse is five cents more silver than ordinary cotton cloth," Lu Yuan replied.

"How about 85% off? If you can, our Zhou family will buy fifty horses first, and then give you a deposit of twenty taels of silver, and then we will still buy cloth from you in the future. ”

Zhou Bei said quietly.

Fifty taels of deposit, buy fifty horses first, and buy cloth from himself in the future, such a condition, Lu Yuan naturally agreed.

After all, Lu Yuan also knew that although the current head of the Zhou family was a lifter, he was a scholar of Shangshu, and the number of servants in the family was thousands, not counting the master's first floor, and he had to change new clothes all year round, so he also needed hundreds of pieces of cloth.

"Then you keep an account and sell it to my Zhou family at a ninety percent discount", Zhou Bei said and took out a bag of silver and threw it in front of Lu Yuan: "This is thirty-five taels of silver, you weigh it yourself." ”

"Good!"

Lu Yuan took the silver and asked Uncle Fei to weigh it, so he hurriedly asked Uncle Fei to prepare fifty spring breeze cloths for this week.

"I wish Gongzi Lu a prosperous future", Zhou Bei smiled and asked people to carry fifty pieces of cloth onto the carriage.

Followed by.

Another old lady who claimed to be the deputy chief soldier's mansion also came in a carriage, and like Zhou Bei, after seeing the spring breeze cloth, she also bought fifty pieces of cloth at a price of eighty-fifty percent.

Then it was the maid in the Zhizhou Mansion who also bought fifty pieces of cloth, and they all left a deposit here with Lu Yuan, saying that the government would buy cloth here from Lu Yuan in the future.

Lu Yuan guessed that this must be Tang Ying's credit, otherwise, with the popularity of his Lu family cloth shop, where could so many official eunuchs come to buy new cloth.

Lu Yuan was still very grateful to Tang Ying in his heart.

Now it is not even ten years, Lu Yuan has sold more than 150 pieces of cloth, and the cashier plus the deposit has a total of 120 taels of silver.

However, the total cost of cotton yarn spent by Lu Yuan to produce these 150 pieces of cloth was only about 23 taels of silver, and the cost of food and the cost of building the shuttle he gave to the weavers in the past few days would not exceed the cost of 30 taels.

In other words, Lu Yuan has now made a net profit of ninety taels of silver.

And this is only the first ten days of the weaving mill shuttle loom began to weave, according to the current sales volume, Lu Yuan thinks that it is not a problem to earn another 180 taels in the middle of the month and at the end of the month.

At that time, he can not only repay the loan shark he borrowed from the Zhang family, but also buy a dowry to marry Tang Ying.

Lu Yuan was a single dog in his previous life, and now he is very happy to think that he can still marry a beautiful woman like Tang Ying in this era, and he is still a beautiful girl.

As for whether Tang Ying likes him or not, Lu Yuan naturally doesn't care.

As an ordinary person in later generations, Lu Yuan has long passed the age of being full of fantasies about love, in his opinion, as long as he is a woman with acceptable character and appearance, it is enough to marry him.

Gu Xiuniang was wearing a new dress made of Lu Jiachun flower cloth and was sitting at home embroidering, at this time, her husband Song Yuqing, who was out on business, walked back, just put his hand on Gu Xiuniang's clothes, and said in surprise: "Hey, lady, how can your clothes be so smooth." ”

Song Yuqing simply tore it up when she said it.

"Master, why are you tearing my clothes!" Gu Xiuniang refused and said, "This is my newly made clothes!" ”

"No, how can this dress be so strong, it can be easily torn without rotting, where did you buy such a fabric? This is much better than Matsue cloth! ”

Song Yuqing is the person in charge of the Linqing branch who is responsible for purchasing cloth in the five merchants under the command of Zheng Zhilong, a maritime trade monopoly group.
