Knowing that Zhuangzi said he would do it, Bai Gui was very happy. He ordered to go down, and he must help Zhuangzi secretly.

If you don't say that Zhuangzi is your quasi-son-in-law, he is not your own quasi-son-in-law, it is someone else, as long as he serves the people, he is all on the same front! It's all your own people!

While dealing with the matter at hand, Bai Gui rushed to Qiyuan Town in the Song Kingdom to prepare for the marriage of his daughter Bai Xue and Zhuangzi.

On the first day of Zhuangzi's visit to the lacquer garden, he rescued the sister of a thief. The thief was beaten to death, and the younger sister was lonely, so Zhuangzi took her in and treated her as brother and sister.

Although the two lived under the same roof, they did not share the same room.

Zhuangzi is a serious person and doesn't want to take advantage of girls.

Of course! In this era when there are more women and fewer men, girls have the intention to live with Zhuangzi. Even if Zhuangzi doesn't want her and doesn't marry her, she is willing to give him her body, which can be regarded as repaying her kindness. As long as the other party can give them a way to live, live safely, and live peacefully, they are willing to dedicate themselves to Engong.

But! Zhuangzi did not take advantage of this situation.

The two live together and are considered a family.

At present, for their "family", money is too needed.

In addition to the house, furniture, etc., some things in the family are allocated by the town government, but there are many, many things to buy by themselves.

First, the clothes of the two must be bought, and they can't just wear the same clothes, right?

Second, the bed and bedding for two people to sleep in must also be bought. Now there is only one bed and one set of bedding at home, and I can only sleep alone at night.

Third, selling children requires a sum of money to buy handmade materials, needlework, and thread.

She can't eat rice, she has to use her free time to do handicrafts to earn money and subsidize her family.

During the Warring States period, poor people could only help others to work to make a living. Slightly better people can farm, contract other people's land to cultivate, rent and pay taxes to others.

A better person is a person who does handicrafts and crafts, and eats with his ability. In addition to helping Brother Zhuang do housework, she wants to do handicrafts to earn money.

You must have the capital to do handiwork, which is equivalent to running a business in modern society and being a self-employed person, you must have the capital, and it is empty talk without capital.

Because Bai Gui said hello, several shops in Qiyuan, when they saw that the seller had gone, gave her discounts and met all her requirements.

Zhuangzi was very suspicious when he saw that he could buy back a lot of Dongdong for a small amount of money every day.

"Sell my sister! Remember! Don't accept other people's stuff casually in the future, you know? ”

"I didn't accept anyone else's stuff! Elder brother! "Sell and rob the white road.

"Still say no?" Zhuangzi pressed his hands on the shoulders of the seller and said seriously: "Still say no? You only brought so much money with you, how could you possibly buy back so many clothes and stuff? It must have been given to you by someone else. ”

"Brother?" The seller broke free and argued, "I was about to tell you! Elder brother! Where was it given to me? I paid for it, and the store was willing to sell it! ”

"Where is there such a stupid store?"

"Yes!" The seller broke free and said, "These clothes, your clothes and my clothes, were voluntarily sold to me by that garment store, and they sold it for that piece of gold!" Brother Zhuang! You try, I've tried my clothes! It seems to have been specially tailored for us! ”

As he spoke, he reached out again to unpack his burden, and wanted to take out his clothes for Zhuangzi to try.

Zhuangzi stretched out a hand and pressed it on the burden. "The store is definitely not voluntary!" Sell your sister! They did it on purpose! It's for you to remember him! Let me help him later. My silly sister! ”

"No, it's not! No! The seller argued: "I went into his shop to look at the clothes, and I didn't plan to buy them." I went to the market in the morning, mainly to buy these things! I'm going to buy clothes in the afternoon, so! I didn't bring much money. I'm going to run the market twice, and there are too many things to buy at home, and there is no way!

Brother Zhuang! Am I not?

I went into the store, looked at the ready-to-wear there, and the store came and recommended it. I liked it, but I didn't want to buy it right away, I didn't have that much money with me, so I asked him how much it was. He said how much or how much silver, and I said I had no money. The store thought I was deliberately lowering the price, so I lowered the price myself.

When the other people in the store saw that I was shopping for clothes, they came over to help me lower the price. When I said that I really didn't have any money, they said that they were willing to pay me in advance, and they were not afraid that I would run away. Because I am a seller, I am the younger sister of Zhuangzi.

This is not? Afterward! At that man's low price, I bought the clothes for that piece of gold. That's what I bought of those coins! ”

As he spoke, he gestured with his hand.

"With that little bit of Song coins, can you buy so many things?" Zhuangzi was so surprised that his open mouth couldn't close.

This is not a small advantage, huh?

"How did I take advantage of others? They sold it to me voluntarily! ”

"People are stupid!"

"Hmm!"

In addition to these things, the seller also got needlework and embroidery on credit in the embroidery shop in Qiyuan Town. Other than that! The store also promised her that as long as her embroidery was good, she was willing to pay a high price to recycle it.

During the Warring States period, embroidered silk thread was very expensive. Poor people who have embroidery skills can't start their own businesses, because the cost is too great for you to do. So! Even if a woman from a poor family has the skill of embroidery, she can only work for a rich family.

In addition to the fact that silk thread is expensive, embroidery needles are also expensive. Ordinary poor families can't even afford an embroidery needle. Other than that! Embroidery is also very expensive, and the poor dare not touch it.

What is Embroidery Holder? It's the bottom bracket that is embroidered on it.

Where is the embroidery? Naturally, it is necessary to have a good quality cloth. This cloth is the embroidery support.

The embroidery tray is also exquisite, and the flowers you want to embroider or what embroider in where are all exquisite.

For example! Flowers should be embroidered on the sleeves, and they all have a prescribed position. The flowers embroidered on the clothes of adults are also different from those embroidered on the clothes of children. People with different identities have different flowers and patterns on their clothes.

So! The embroidery industry is also a big project, and the poor have no capital and can't do it at all.

So! The embroidery industry is generally the property of the aristocracy. They have the capital and the market to monopolize the market. They can produce silk threads in large quantities and mass production of embroidery supports. And then! Embroidery was sold to nobles and wealthy people.

People who have a way, they can undertake "palace embroidery". The embroidered products are sold directly to the king, the queen, the concubine, the son, the princess, the palace maid, and the domestic servant of the harem......

Zhuangzi didn't know: the embroidery market in the lacquer garden was monopolized by Bai Gui's caravan. The embroidery shops in the town are all businesses of Bai Gui.

So! When she sold her son to buy needlework and thread, not only did she not charge her capital, but also promised to recycle it at a high price.

If it weren't for Bai Gui's orders, who would have given you credit? Who cares about you?

Such a valuable thing, you ran away on credit?
