Chapter 25: The Feast of the Hung Gate

As the largest cloth village in Yongning County, Zhouji Satin Village is located in the most lively Wenrufang in the city, with three storefronts along the street, and the corners of the bucket fly with the flag embroidered with the two big characters of "Zhouji", swaying in the wind. You can see it clearly from afar.

It was almost noon, and the people who carried the burden, pushed the cart, and led the mules in the Wenru Workshop...... The crowds are crowded, shoulder to shoulder, and the voices are boiling, but here is completely lifeless, and the huge storefront is blackly bolted to the door panel, even if Xu Hu has slammed the door of the store to the "dong dong" mountain, there is no promise inside.

"Open the door! Is it dead? There wasn't even a person at noon! Still in business? Xu Hu was so anxious that he couldn't help scolding.

It wasn't until a long time later that I heard a faint promise from inside: "Coming, coming-" followed by a woman in the door and greeted him with a smile:

"But I'm sorry, I was sleepy yesterday and got up late, what do you want?"

As he spoke, he lowered the door panel.

Xu Hu saw that this woman was graceful, but her complexion was rough, her face was pear-black, there seemed to be a lot of freckles on her face, and her appearance was very ugly, so he couldn't help but wonder: "Who are you?" What about Boss Zhou? ”

"I'm a distant relative of the boss, I just came from Shijiazhuang yesterday, because of the locust plague at home, I was so poor that I couldn't open the pot, so I thought about coming here to eat. Coincidentally, a letter came from his hometown yesterday, and Boss Zhou went back to his hometown to visit relatives. No, just tell me to watch it for a few days. The woman said, squatting down and bowing.

"I see." Xu Hu nodded, but didn't say much, pointed to Liang Zheng behind him and said, "This is our young master......"

"I know, I know~! Liang Mansion Liang Gongzi. There is no one in Yongning City who does not know. When the girl saw the business, her spirits were lifted, "I don't know what Liang Gongzi wants to buy?" But if we have it, the son just picks, but if there is not, we can also think of it to be conjured, and keep it to your satisfaction. ”

"It's nothing special, I want to order a batch of brocade silk." Liang Zheng glanced at the woman with interest, "What kind of goods do you guys have?" ”

"Shu brocade in Shu, Yun brocade in Jinling, Song brocade in Gusu, Zhuang brocade in Guangxi...... There's everything, why don't you come in and take a look? The woman said as she let Liang Zheng and the others into the store.

A few people entered the store, and saw the colorful stripes on the four walls, hung with exquisite materials for the splendid weaving, some of the four sides are continuous, the color is bright, some of the brocade is gorgeous, the style is elegant, some of the patterns are vivid, the structure is rigorous, and the texture is soft, and the weavers are fine...... The dazzling array of brocades is simply dazzling.

"What does Childe want?"

Seeing Liang Zheng go around in a circle, standing still in front of a satin brocade, silent and not knowing what she was thinking, the woman couldn't help but ask out loud.

"Just this......" Liang Zheng pointed to the brocade silk in front of him, "But this time I want a large amount, I have to provide 500 people to wear, not to mention more than 300 horses, I don't know if you have enough in stock?" ”

"Yes, yes." The woman's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she hurriedly responded, "Amitabha, this is a big deal!" When I got up to-day, I heard the magpie on the branch chirping, and I wondered what the good omen was. ”

“………… Is it. Liang Zheng smiled noncommittally, "That dare is good, it saves me a lot of trouble...... It's just that the price is ......"

"In terms of price, just rest assured, our 'Zhouji' is a century-old brand, and the price is not deceived by quality. What's more, you and I have two world friends, and I don't dare to make my son's money even if I accompany Ben'er. The woman smiled and said, "But charge some costs, and ask the son to reward three melons and two dates for the guy below." ”

When Liang Zheng heard this, he couldn't help laughing, but his eyes became brighter and brighter when he looked at the woman: "The shopkeeper is really good at talking...... As far as I said, Boss Zhou should ask you to do it for a long time. ”

"Where, where, Childe said with a smile."

"Then let's settle it, shopkeeper, please help deliver the goods to my house."

Liang Zheng said, and was about to go out, but the female boss suddenly looked embarrassed: "Ouch, this is not very easy to do......"

"Huh?" He couldn't help but pause.

"That's right." The woman explained, "Didn't Boss Zhou go back to his hometown to save his relatives, he thought that the world was not good now, and there was no business, so he gave most of the guys a holiday." Now there are only a few people busy in and out of the store, and there are really no people. It's better to do this, since Childe has brought so many servants today, just let them go directly to the back hall to move the goods away, Childe only rests here for a while, I have a good Maofeng tea for Childe to taste. ”

"I see." Liang Zheng glanced at her, got up and paced two steps, stood at the door and looked at the backyard through the curtain, and saw that there were a few boxes stacked there, neatly stacked on the ground, and couldn't help but wonder, "It's okay, but I won't eat Mao Feng." The shopkeeper is so enthusiastic, this is a discount and stocking, but I can't help it. In this way, it is better for me to be the east today, and ask the shopkeeper to go to Tianguang Building for a few drinks. ”

As he spoke, he didn't wait for the other party to answer, and called Xu Hu, who was standing on the side: "You go to Tianguang Tower and let them prepare a private seat." ”

"Yes."

"In addition, I sent someone back to the house, and asked Steward Su to bring a few kinds of silver dishes that I usually used to dip in flowers and carve finely, and the tableware provided by the store was not clean."

"Yes...... Well? Master? ”

Xu Hu was responding casually, but when he heard this, he was suddenly startled, opened his eyes, and looked at his young master in a daze, seeing Liang Zheng's eyes burning, staring at himself for a moment, his delicate and handsome face was glowing with blue light, and he suddenly realized:

"The little one understands, so let's prepare."

He agreed. Over there, Liang Zheng smiled and bowed to the female boss: "Shopkeeper, please move the lotus step." ”

"Why is Liang Gongzi so polite......" The woman seemed to be a little embarrassed, and desperately refused to be polite.

But it's no wonder that if it is an official eunuch family and a poet family, there is absolutely no reason to accept the invitation of a strange man, but among the people, this level of rules is still relatively poor, let alone a businessman? Since it is open to do business, it is natural to entertain customers, and Liang Zheng is full of energy, but he has to agree.

※※※

After a cup of tea, the two of them entered the Tianguang Building one after the other, and the two of them had already come out, leading the two into the private room on the second floor, only to see the carved screen inside, the windows were bright and clean, and the floor was very elegant.

The two sat down and ordered wine, and after a while, Xu Hu walked in with a food box, put the exquisite dishes on the table, and saluted Liang Zheng respectfully: "Young master, it's all ready." ”

The woman smiled and said, "Liang Gongzi is worthy of being a rich and noble family, and there are so many things to pay attention to when eating." If you change to an ordinary family like us, you can fill your stomach, where can you take care of so much. ”

When Liang Zheng heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "Who do you think I'm doing this for?" Isn't it all for you? ”

The woman was stunned, and was puzzled by what she meant, but Liang Zheng's face suddenly changed, and she raised the wine glass in her hand and fell to the ground with a "snap":

"Take it!"

As soon as the words fell, the door and window "banged" a few times, and the latch of the door was broken, and more than a dozen swarthy muzzles stretched out from it, all of which were aimed at the female boss, as long as she made a slight movement, she would be shot into a honeycomb.

This time it became hasty, the female boss was caught off guard, her face seemed to be a little white with fright, and she sat there stunned, like a nightmare:

"Childe, you ...... This is......? ”

Liang Zheng looked left and right, and then smiled slightly: "Red lady, don't come unharmed." ”
