Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "Kang Yan told Xiao Jiu about the situation of the shop at home.

Kang Yan did not participate in the family's business at all in her previous life, and later after Kang Erlang's succession, several shops in the family were replaced by relatives of Uncle Kang's family, and she couldn't ask, and later entered the Du family as a concubine, and she just heard him say some business experience when she had a good relationship with Du Yunche, most of the time she stayed in the inner house to study the flower and plant maintenance strategies left by her father, and practiced a flower and plant maintenance skills, but when it comes to doing business, she really doesn't know much.

Let's learn while doing it, at least compared to the ignorance and ignorance in her previous life, she has a few more years of experience in this life, and she has more sophisticated flower-raising skills than in her previous life, so she will not re-follow the old path of her previous life.

The two sisters and brothers made an appointment to go to the flower market in a few days, and arranged Xiao Jiu's life and study problems in the past two days, Xiao Jiu has reached the age of ten, so he can only let him live in the main house in the front yard, and let Uncle Zhao buy him two maids and two small maids, Kang Yan put Qingmei over first, and then come back after the ** new maid is bought.

As for the academy where Xiao Jiu studied, the sisters and brothers chose an ordinary academy in the octopus alley two streets away from the Wufu Hutong where they lived, and the people who came to study were children from relatively ordinary or poor families.

After arranging everything, the sister and brother had time to come to the flower market, before coming out, Kang Jia begged Kang Yan to take her out too, Kang Yan thought about it, and there was nothing to hide, so she agreed.

The flower market of Macheng Mansion is in the south of the city, the scale is very large, spanning two streets, all the shops on these two streets are related to flowers, selling flowers, selling flower seedlings, selling dried flowers, selling flower tea, and so on.

The Kang family's three shops are next to each other, located in the southwest corner of the flower market, Kang Yan pulled her clothes and got off the carriage at the entrance of the flower market.

Daliang is not so strict with women's rules, and women can also go out shopping with their families or friends on weekdays, and even a few women come out to take care of their family business.

Because it is a flower market, there are more girls on the street, chattering and picking their favorite flowers, which is very lively.

The shops on both sides of the road will put the better flowers cultivated in their stores at the door to attract customers, Kang Yan introduced to Xiao Jiu while walking: "This is a smile, it can clear the heart and remove troubles, cure the deficiency and calm the nerves, hey, this is a colorful chrysanthemum ........"

"My sister knows so much!" Xiao Jiu was both envious and emotional.

Kang Yanwaner, "My sister has learned this since she was a child, distinguishing flowers and recognizing flowers is the least possible ability, and there is a copy of "Qunfang Spectrum" in my father's study, and if you look for it and read it, it will naturally be." ”

Xiao Jiu nodded and wrote it down.

As he spoke, he arrived at the door of his shop, and Uncle Zhao had already informed him that the shopkeepers of the three shops were all people that Kang Zhixun was used to before, and he knew that the main couple had died early but did not take the opportunity to pick up trouble, and he was also very dedicated to Kang Yan's sister and brother when they talked about the business situation in the shop.

Kang Yan herself is not good at business, this time she came to take Xiao Jiu and the shopkeepers to get to know, and agreed to come to inspect once a half a month as before, reconcile the accounts once a month, and then prepare to go home with Xiao Jiu.

Coming out of the shop and walking east, the scorching sun in July was like fire, and the stinging Kang Yan squinted slightly, but then she heard a noise in front of her, and people in twos and threes hugged the front, Kang Yan raised her forehead to look in the direction of the crowd, and the four big characters "Du Family Flower Line" that emitted a pale golden light in the sun stung her eyes.

Kang Yan was stunned until she heard Xiao Jiu's surprised voice: "Sister, why don't you leave?" ”

Konka came to visit the flower market in Macheng Mansion for the first time, and was very excited, seeing that there was a bustle in front of her, she hurriedly pulled Kang Yan excitedly: "What's going on in front?" So many people? Let's go check it out, shall we? ”

Kang Yan hesitated for a moment, and Fang nodded.

The place where everyone flocked to is the "Du family flower line", the Du family is the earliest business in Macheng Mansion to plant and sell flowers and plants, after three generations of efforts, the Du family has already been the largest family in the entire Macheng Mansion to raise flowers and sell flowers, the Du family not only has the largest garden in Macheng Mansion "Yixiang Garden", it is said that the Yixiang Garden is full of strange flowers and plants, the flowers and fragrances are full of flowers all year round, the flowers planted in the Yixiang Garden have been included in the title of the Oiran and the flower phase of the flower fighting meeting for three consecutive years, and the flowers and plants in the palace are also paid tribute by the Du family, All the children of the Du family are good at raising flowers and protecting flowers, and the flowers and plants in the palace are specially maintained by the people of the Du family.

In addition, the Du family in the flower market built by the Du family flower shop is the largest flower shop in Macheng Prefecture, specializing in the supply of flower seedlings, flower plants, flower pots, flower fertilizer, flowers, dried flowers and flower tea for the home of dignitaries, because many flowers can be used in medicine, Du family flower shop is also the main supplier of major medicine stores, in addition, compared with other ordinary shops, Du family flower shop also has a special place, that is, he has many highly skilled flower keepers, many precious varieties of flowers after the sale of they will be responsible for the maintenance of the back, If there is any problem with the potted flowers, they can also be sent to the door, and let them be served for a period of time, and they will generally grow more and more bright and bright, which is beyond the reach of ordinary shops.

At this moment, at the door of the Du family's flower shop, a middle-aged man in his forties, slightly fat, with small eyes and a beard is losing his temper, "Du's shopkeeper, this is not right for you, when our old lady asked for this pot of "love in the snow", you said that it will bloom within ten days, and the ten days will pass immediately, not only do you not see the trend of flowering, but the only few bones are getting more and more wilted, the old lady has to let me send it back to you for conditioning and conditioning, and it is not a return, what do you do with a bitter face?" What do you mean by Du's flower line? ”

Standing opposite was a man in his early fifties, with a wrinkled face that did not hide his shrewdness, Kang Yan recognized him as Du Wei, the big shopkeeper of the Du family's flower shop, this person controlled most of the Du family's business, and was very trusted by Du Hengtao, the owner of the Du family, and his son was also a person who could call the wind and rain in the Du family.

At this time, Dewey was a wry smile, "Wu Steward misunderstood, I didn't say not to accept it, but there is really a hard time, you don't know, this "love in the snow" is grown in the snow mountains and mist in the southern Xinjiang, no one in our Macheng Mansion understands his habits, just our eldest young master finally managed to live this plant, but that day the old lady of your mansion saw it very much, and wanted to buy it, our eldest young master was also present that day, and said that this flower is not easy to serve, maybe the flower may not bloom well or may not bloom, if the old lady waits, You might as well wait for him to figure it out, and then send it to the house for the old lady to see, but the old lady said that she used to play with this flower when she was young........"

"You mean that our old lady bought this flower by mistake?" The person known as the Great Butler of Wu was a little angry, and remembered the purpose of his coming, so he suppressed his anger, "Let's not talk about this first, since the flower has become like this, I can only trouble Young Master Du to bother with conditioning and conditioning." ”

Dewey shook his head, "Unfortunately, our eldest young master has gone to Hejian Mansion, and I am afraid that he will not be able to come back in three or five days." ”

"What can I do? Isn't there anyone else who understands this? Butler Wu hesitated.

Dewey spread his hands and shook his head, very helpless.

The crowd of onlookers outside was also talking about this rare snow love.

Kang Yan carefully observed the flower pot on the ground, a flower plant about a foot long in the azure ceramic flower pot after the rain, the pale green sword-shaped leaves were standing upward, and there were five or six small flower buds in the middle of the layers of leaves, but unfortunately the flower buds were already a little wilted.

Kang Yan carefully pondered in her heart for a moment, and said, "This old man, can you let me try." ”
