In the Su Garden, there are a few elegant houses, in the past, most of the people who could come here were literati and artists, but the houses were more partial, and it was not easy for people to disturb, so some businessmen would also let acquaintances come here to talk about things.

"Who are you here today? Are they still in charge? ”

"It shouldn't be, the person who came over in the morning specially explained, and only let the young lady go over and guard." The maid combed the woman's hair, and coiled a unique flower bun in Jiangnan, which was inserted into the bun with a note with buds, which looked chic and elegant, but it was quite in line with the beauty of Jiangnan women, Su Xiaoxiao looked through the mirror and carefully checked the makeup.

"It's been a long time since the people of the Xu family came to pass the word, that Xu Gongzi won't cause anything again." The maid smiled, but Su Xiaoxiao was a little annoyed, Su Yuan owed a lot of foreign debts at the beginning, and then after Su Xiaoxiao became famous, a few people came forward to help solve it, including the young master of the Xu family, the other party also has some poetry names on weekdays, and Su Xiaoxiao talked and laughed in several literary meetings, and then there were a lot of rumors about the two.

"Talking nonsense again, besides, you don't know my situation yet?" Su Xiaoxiao sighed, and did not continue such a topic, but talked about things on the market, but the maid was even more interested, "Now Hong Ji's cloth is the most sought-after, the price is low, it is wider than others, and it is strong, and one horse can only make two short clothes, but Hong Ji's can be made one long and one short, don't look at it is so bad, the clothes can be a lot more." The maid said happily, and praised Hong Ji's cloth even more, Su Xiaoxiao smiled slightly, and the appearance of Leng Xuemei appeared in her mind, "What about the Leng family's cloth workshop?" Hong Ji sells it so cheaply, and he is not afraid of disturbing his own business? ”

Hong Ji and the Leng family's cloth shop, although the name is different, but everyone knows that the two families are actually the same owner, but the Leng family's shopkeeper is the head of the cloth shop, so he can support his own door.

"That's not true, Hong Ji still sells coarse cloth, but the Leng family cloth shop is full of good materials, satin, embroidery, and flower cloth, all colors, new styles, and the price is similar to other people's, and now only rich people go." The maid said, Su Xiaoxiao nodded, someone outside the house came to urge, the two of them came out of the house, walked a short distance along the corridor, and happened to see a few familiar faces, including the young master of the Xu family, Mu Jiangping and Mu Tingyu of the Mu family, and after them, Li Huai was laughing with a woman, Leng Xuemei was on his other side, several people looked peaceful, but they also looked like they were talking and laughing.

"Little is here." Xu Shaojie first saw the oncoming woman, with a smile on his face, "I said that I wouldn't let them go over to urge, why did I still come out?" The tone couldn't help but be concerned, Su Xiaoxiao smiled slightly, his eyes swept over the faces of several people, but he paused slightly when he saw Li Huai, he thought that the other party would at least look at it, but he didn't expect that the other party was always talking to the woman next to him, and he was also gentle, dressed in plain clothes, with a bit of beauty and refinement, as for Leng Xuemei, the two of them were just a look of effort.

"What did Young Master Xu say, since you came to me, I always have to come out to greet you." Su Xiaoxiao said while leading the way for a few people in front, while Xu Shaojie followed the other party, but a few steps away, turning a bamboo forest, you can see a quaint hut, and the name of the house is also appropriate for the situation - "Bamboo Leaf Green"

The people of the Mu family and the Xu family naturally come here, and when they entered the house, they were very familiar, each of them was served, and handed over the basin and towel, Su Xiaoxiao paid attention to Li Huai, and explained with a smile when he looked cramped for a while, "Li Gongzi, I have rules here, you must clean your hands and face when you enter the house." As he spoke, a maidservant girl came with a basin.

"I'll do it." The woman who was originally standing next to Li Huai took the towel from the handmaid's hand at this moment, dipped it in the water in the basin, and helped Li Huai wipe her face and hands, Su Xiaoxiao looked at the other party's skillful movements, and couldn't help nodding.

"Li Gongzi is really blessed." Xu Shaojie walked over with a smile, and looked up and down the woman's body, "Come all the way, and you won't introduce me." ”

"Xu Gongzi doesn't even know him? She was originally a talented girl from Jiangnan, and she went to Yecheng later. Mu Tingyu suddenly spoke, Xu Shaojie frowned slightly, and then showed a sudden look, "Could it be Dong Bai back then, Dong Xiaowan?" ”

The woman who was wiping Li Huai had a tense expression, but she still squeezed out a smile at Xu Shaojie, now Dong Xiaowan has followed Li Huai, and she was told about the past in Fengyue, and her reputation will naturally be greatly reduced, and even Li Huai's face is not good-looking, Su Xiaoxiao on the side hurriedly diverted the topic, and glared at Xu Shaojie fiercely, "Sit down, I'll go make tea." Xu Shaojie smiled and didn't say more, but Mu Tingyu looked proud.

In the past few days, the business of Hong Ji and the Leng family cloth workshop has gradually improved, the Mu family originally intended to raise the price of cloth, but now it seems that it is in Li Huai's trap, although it has suffered a loss, but fortunately, it was found in time, and now the cloth needed to go to Beijing, they have also made up, so they thought about whether they could sit down with Li Huai and talk again, so they found the Xu family who had business dealings with Hong Ji to be a lobbyist, as for Xu Shaojie, he also hoped to have more contact with Li Huai, although he was deflated in Li Huai's hands when he went to Beijing, But Li Huai is still talented after all, and Xu Shaojie admires it even more.

Because of Mu Tingyu's words, the atmosphere in the room seemed a little awkward and nervous, Mu Jiangping was still an elder, and he spoke kindly, and carried the prince and monk out, only hoping that Li Huai would be taboo, and then be able to restrain the development momentum of Hong Ji.

"I heard that there is new equipment in Hongji's textile factory, and the efficiency of the cloth has been improved a lot?" Xu Shaojie took the teacup from Su Xiaoxiao's hand, and immediately started the topic, Li Huai nodded, "It's also a last resort, there is really not enough manpower, so I thought of this method." "Nowadays, the textile workers in Suzhou and Hangzhou are in short supply, and each family will not let the workers lose at will, and the workers in the Hongji Textile Factory are also transferred from the Leng family, although there are also apprentices, but it will take a while to really master a skill.

Xu Shaojie looked at the other party, "It's a good way, but if it goes on like this, the others won't be able to do it well." Leng Xuemei looked at the son of the Xu family, "I have been the leader of this business, but I haven't heard anyone talk about this yet, how did Young Master Xu know?" ”

Xu Shaojie couldn't help but set his eyes on Mu Tingyu's body, and Mu Tingyu spoke: "Leng Xingshou, you are also an old man who has mixed in the Suzhou and Hangzhou cloth shops, and now Hong Ji has pressed the price of coarse cloth to such a position, it is really a little unreasonable." ”

"Mu Gong, that's what you mean?" Leng Xuemei looked at the old man on the side, Mu Tingyu has always spoken tough since she came in, and she didn't save face for Li Huai and her at all, Leng Xuemei is now the head of the cloth guild, but what she wants to hear is still Mu Jiangping's words.

The old man motioned to Mu Tingyu not to speak first, "Li Gongzi, Leng Xingshou, Miao Miao speaks more straightforwardly, don't care, the old man asked Shaojie to invite you over, and I also want to discuss with the two of you, the matter delivered by the prince, our Mu family has already completed, and then the Mu family will still have to do the cloth business in Suzhou and Hangzhou. ”

Leng Xuemei was stunned for a moment, after all, the Mu family controlled more than half of the looms in Suzhou and Hangzhou, if they really went all out to produce, I was afraid that the price of this cloth would fall sharply, and then it would be a situation that no one wanted to see, she deliberately looked at Li Huai, but the other party looked indifferent, "Mu Gong, I heard you just now, it seems that you have completed the cloth list required by the new army?" ”

"Exactly, tomorrow I will discuss the delivery with Donggonggong." The old man smiled slightly, "But, how did I hear that the imperial court intends to suspend this matter?" Li Huai raised his head and looked at the old man and woman of the Mu family, as well as the young master of the Xu family with a stunned face......
