Chapter 66: Precious Silk
Kang Damao is really afraid that he will make a mistake, last time Shen Luojun was drugged, he had already had a love with Shen Luojun, this time he must not make a mistake, let alone be sorry for Luo Jun, thinking of this, Kang Damao bent down and pulled Xiaohua's quilt upward, he turned around and walked out of the door, and hid in the hall for a night.
Early in the morning of the second day, Li Fugui really sent someone to send dozens of high-grade silk, and a few large vermilion boxes were placed in the courtyard to look very festive, and the maids and maids all gathered around to join in the fun.
"Look how delicate this silk material is, sparkling in the sun." The maid said curiously.
"I've never worn a silk garment, so I don't know if I'll ever have that chance in my life." As he spoke, he reached out and touched the silk material to see if it was as soft as he imagined.
"Don't touch! Beware of soiling the owner to blame. The maid immediately spoke out to stop the reckless behavior of the family.
"Excuse me! I'm excited, so the owner won't blame me, hehe! The family smiled awkwardly and comforted himself and said, in fact, he still has a number in his heart, and the owner should not really blame him for this little thing.
"I don't know which nobleman is so generous, and he will give dozens of high-quality silk horses as soon as he makes a move." Another maid said enviously.
"Look closely, there's an embroidery on the edge of each roll of silk, and what is written on it?" The sharp-eyed maid looked down and saw that there was embroidery on the edge of each roll of silk, and she was very curious, and the rest of the maids also bent down to take a closer look, and sure enough, it was just as she said.
"West Lake Huancaifang" has a literate family member read it out.
"I've heard before that this is the most famous silk workshop in Hangzhou." The maid thought for a moment and said to the crowd watching in the courtyard.
Hearing her say this, these maids and gentlemen felt that these fine silks were more precious, and they had no idea how much silver they were worth.
At this time, Xiaohua came out of the inner courtyard after washing, she was in a trance, she slept on Kang Damao's bed last night, her clothes were intact, but Kang Damao was gone, he drank so much wine yesterday and I don't know if he is awake now?
Seeing everyone gathered in the yard, she frowned slightly, didn't she work early in the morning? She also heard the maid go in just now to report that someone in the courtyard had sent dozens of silks, and they came out immediately after washing them in a hurry.
"Shopkeeper!" The maids and the family members stood aside respectfully when they saw Xiaohua come out, they were all newcomers who had just been recruited into Kangfu, although Xiaohua is now the shopkeeper of the store, people who are a little smarter can see that this family is her master, and they are naturally very respectful.
Xiaohua slowly approached the several large boxes placed in the courtyard, she looked down and saw that it was indeed precious silk, so she asked in the tone that the female shopkeeper should have, "Did anyone say anything?" ”
"I didn't say anything, I put down the box and left." Immediately a servant came up and answered.
At this time, Kang Damao, who was leaning in the hall, opened his eyes in a daze, he shivered, stood up and stretched hard, this night he sat with a sore back, and now the temperature is very low at night, he almost froze to death.
Kang Damao stomped his feet and slowly came to the courtyard to prepare for activities and activities, but saw that there were many maids standing in the courtyard, and Xiaohua was actually there, looking at Xiaohua's back, Kang Damao vaguely remembered the gentle township lying in her arms last night.
"What's the situation? Why are they all gathered here? Kang Damao stepped forward and asked casually.
"The owner!" The family and the maid immediately stood in two rows respectfully, obviously this new family Kang Damao has more cards, the family and the maid were trained so well, in the final analysis, the biggest credit is due to Xiaohua, but Xiaohua doesn't want these subordinates to do the same in front of themselves, this family currently has only Kang Damao as a family head, and there must be a difference between respect and humility.
"You're awake! Feeling better? Xiaohua took two steps forward and asked with concern, in fact, she wanted to ask where Kang Damao went last night, but with so many people, she naturally couldn't ask directly.
"Hmmm! Much better, refreshed, I was just about to come to the yard to exercise my muscles, this is ......," Kang Damao stretched out his arms and said actively.
"These are a few boxes of silk that someone sent in the morning, and the person who came didn't leave their names, and left after delivering the things." Xiaohua explained, pointing to several boxes containing silk.
"This old brother, I thought it was just a casual talk, but it was really sent over, you look at it, I have to practice." Kang Damao said and kicked his legs and wanted to leave, but after walking a few steps, he turned back, went to one of the boxes and selected two silk horses and walked into the house.
Seeing that Kang Damao was gone, Xiaohua walked to a few boxes of silk and fell into deep thought, so many precious silks were handed over to her, she should have been happy, but she couldn't be happy. These high-grade silks seem to be worth a lot of money, and it is obviously not appropriate for others to sell them, and it is not appropriate to keep them for themselves, and it is even more inappropriate to distribute them to their subordinates, and they can't wear them in the house at all, which has really become a problem.
The maid and the housekeeper who stood in two rows watched the owner so casually hand over these dozens of high-quality silk to the shopkeeper Xiaohua to deal with, they were all speculating about the relationship between the two, only the Xiaohua personal maid who stayed outside the courtyard last night and let the more leave understand how far the relationship between the owner and the shopkeeper has progressed, however, she is very tight-mouthed, it is impossible to say it, and she herself understands that once this matter is poked out, she will not be far away.
Sitting in the porcelain shop, Xiaohua lay on the counter with one hand on her chin, and finally made up her mind after thinking for a long time.
She divided these dozens of high-grade silk horses in half, half of them were kept and distributed to the maids and men who fully supported Kang Damao in the Kang Mansion when they returned to Zhenjiang Mansion, and the rest were distributed to the men in the porcelain shop in Yaowan Town, except for making a dress for herself and her mother, as a reward for this time, so that they could take it back to make clothes for their wives and mothers.
I also want to give some to the maids and family members of Kangfu, I saw their love for these silks before, and I can also pull some into the relationship with them, so that they can treat Kangfu as their own home, Xiaohua knows very well that the newly recruited maids and family members of Kangfu in Yaowan Town are still incomparable with the people in Kangfu in Zhenjiang Mansion, after all, they have all experienced tests before.
Xiaohua tried her best for dozens of silks, but Kang Damao was leisurely playing his own ghost ideas.
In winter, it got dark very early, after dinner, Kang Damao left under the excuse, at this time his armpit was sandwiched by the two silk horses selected during the day as a thief around the circle, and finally walked to a house not far from Kang's house, but he walked at the back door of this house, he looked east and west to look at the mysterious God, and saw that no one knocked on the door.
Immediately, a little maid ran over to open the door for him, and the little maid didn't say a word, silently walked behind Kang Damao and skillfully closed the back door, and plugged in the door.
Kang Damao had already swaggered into the brightly lit room, and a table of good wine and food had already been set up on the table.
"Cut! When you come to Yaowan Town, you will be in no shape, walking with your head and tail, eating two and drinking two, sit down and have a drink, just give you a hot pot of wine. ”
"Hey, hey, hey! I'm naturally proud to see you, Luo Jun, I brought you two pieces of fine silk, and I have time to make clothes for myself. Kang Damao said and handed the two silks under his armpits to the maid standing aside.
"Got it, sit down, how about you taste this wine?" Shen Luojun picked up the wine jug and poured a full glass for Kang Damao.
Kang Damao sat down and took a drink of the wine glass, and said again and again: "Good wine!" Wine! "If he is in a good mood, the wine is naturally delicious, even if he drinks plain water, he is also comfortable.
"Have you found any news over there these days?" Shen Luojun asked with concern while serving Kang Damao's vegetables.
"Hmmm! There is indeed new news about porcelain smuggling, but it is not good news, a few days ago, the capital sent officials to secretly investigate the porcelain ......smuggling in Yaowan Town, "Kang Damao told Shen Luojun all the news that Hua Shao had warned him, and it was easy to kill the Beijing officials sent by the capital to investigate porcelain smuggling, and it was easy to kill these unarmed businessmen."
Shen Luojun was also shocked when he heard this, it seems that they still have to keep a low profile in Yaowan Town, and the two decided to postpone the investigation after some discussion, so that the other party can relax their vigilance, find the right time, and have a greater certainty before acting.
The topic of porcelain smuggling was too heavy, and the two had to talk about it again, and after agreeing, Kang Damao diverted the topic, and soon he made Shen Luojun giggle, and even the maid waiting at the door couldn't help but cover his mouth and snicker.
In order to hide people's eyes and ears, the two porcelain shops are still hostile, and the two can only meet occasionally in private.
An hour later, Kang Damao left through the back door after being full of wine and food, although he could not stay overnight, but he also drank a few glasses together to relieve the pain of lovesickness in the past few days.
