Liu Minyou only heard the voice and knew that it was Deng Keshan who came, this person was full of ** spirit, he was an out-and-out snake in Tianjin, three aunts and six women, Qinglou brothels, and singles loafers knew everything. Although Liu Minyou had a bad impression of him, but now after all, they are working together, so hurry up and invite him in, the three of them went to the store to sit down, and Wang Daixi brought three cups of tea.

Deng Keshan looked proud, and said to the two: "Brother Liu, acting brother, two things, Qinglou and selling wife, let's talk about Qinglou first, the matter of this Qinglou has finally been decided, I ran three houses, or Qunfanglou is the best, that bustard is familiar to me, she had to ask for one or two two days ago, I grinded for two days, and finally negotiated eight yuan, we sold three taels and five yuan a piece, but she asked the conference brother to help pour tea in the hall." ”

This bustard is a good idea, whether it can be sold or not, it will not be a loss, and now he is looking forward to making money, so he has to agree, and asked Deng Keshan: "When can it start?" ”

"It's okay tonight, their Oiran is called Si Gui'er, according to what Brother Liu said, give her a dress, and Bustard gave me all the sizes."

Liu Minyou took the note, took it himself, and said a little worriedly: "Is it a little more expensive to pay three or five dollars, can those guests be willing?" ”

Deng Keshan took a sip of tea before saying: "Brother Liu doesn't have to worry about them running out of money, Qinglou is not as good as Goulan, Qunfanglou Honghuakui is fifteen taels a night, and his mother does not include singing and banquets, inside and outside Tianjin, there are many relatives of the gentry and wealthy businessmen in Beijing, and the stores in the good locations are theirs, and they spend a day, when we don't make more than a year, we don't make more money, and our conscience is uneasy." ”

Liu Minyou and Dai Zhenggang were stunned when they heard it,

Deng Keshan continued: "What I just said is the Qinglou, three taels and five dollars a piece, and then it is a woman, I found eight. ”

Liu Minyou was surprised: "Brother Deng really has a wide range of contacts, and even the wife sells so much. ”

"What is eight, I know a lot of three aunts and six women, and there are still those who want to find them, five of these eight are selling women, three flower arrangers, and some of them still have a handle in my hands, don't be too polite to them, let's set how much silver, how much silver, how much they have to take."

Dai Zhenggang said: "What else can you do if you sell a woman, isn't it just selling things?" ”

Deng Keshan smiled treacherously: "Brother Dai, you don't know, these three aunts and six mothers-in-law don't have a few good things, Lao Tzu wants to clean them up, a bunch of methods." ”

Liu Minyou hurriedly persuaded: "Brother Deng, we still need them to do things with their hearts, you give too little, and it is in vain for them not to do it." ”

"Yes, yes, what Brother Liu said is, I still listen to you, or we will settle the role today, and I can arrange it with them."

Liu Minyou knew that he wanted to clarify his own part, and thought about it: "Then the seller will sell it for one or two or eight yuan, we will get one or two or three yuan, and the seller will get two dollars, Brother Deng, you will get three dollars, what does Brother Deng think?" ”

"Cheng, just according to what Brother Liu said. Do you want each woman to take a sample of clothes? ”

"Take, now you only have five, you can give five neat sellers first, and the rest will be available in two days."

"Holo."

"When, when, when"

Next to the TECO shop, a saleswoman walked in the back alley with a frightened boudoir, and after knocking, she waited by the side door for a while, and the door creaked open, and a maid came out.

"Mother-in-law, my young lady asked you if you had any good pollen."

Mrs. Tian folded her face, regardless of the fact that this maid was only more than ten years old, and said flatteringly: "This sister, pollen is just ordinary, but I have a new dress here, if your young lady wears it, she must be reluctant to take it off." ”

The maid pouted: "Just your wife's mouth, everything is good, but I just sent to serve the young lady, if the things are not good, I am tired and scolded, I will kick you." ”

"How can it, sister, you don't know, everything that my Tian Pozi sells is not good, if it is not good, I will return it to him early in the morning, if you are really tired and scolded, I will write my Tian character upside down in the future."

"Alright then, you come in with me." Ju Xiang opened the door and led Mrs. Tian into the courtyard. Mrs. Tian followed all the way to Sanjin, and then went to the boudoir in the west chamber.

"Juxiang, who did you bring?" Ju Xiang turned her head and saw that it was Mrs. Zhang who was in the corridor, and hurriedly replied: "Madam, it's the Tian Selling Lady outside, and there are new clothes to bring Miss to see." ”

Mrs. Zhao looked at Mrs. Tian and said to Mrs. Tian: "If you sell something, you can sell something, but don't make some messy things." ”

"Madame, don't worry, the old body will never do such a thing."

Mrs. Zhao nodded and let the two of them go to the boudoir. When they entered the house, Mrs. Zhang said on the side, "Madame wants to eat some snacks." Mrs. Zhao shook her head slowly, sighed again, and Mrs. Zhang then persuaded her: "Madame don't have to worry, the owner doesn't go out once or twice, and now the Tartars have retreated, and it is too peaceful everywhere, nothing will happen." ”

"How to eat, he has been gone for more than a month, but during these days, I was suddenly bored, and I always felt afraid that something would happen, so even Xiang'er didn't let her go out.

Mrs. Zhang said: "That lady always needs to eat something, if she is hungry, how can the old man explain when he comes back." ”

"When the master comes back, this thing can be eaten, there is nothing to do here, you can go and get busy."

Zhang Po sighed and left.

In the boudoir, Miss Zhao stuck to the window, listened to Mrs. Zhao's words, and after standing for a while, she lifted the bead curtain with a calm face and came out, Ju Xiang and Tian Pozi were waiting outside, Tian Pozi was seriously looking at a vase of flower arrangement on the high table, Ju Xiang saw that Miss came out, and said: "Miss, it was this Tian Po who knocked on the boudoir outside just now, she said that there were beautiful clothes, and I brought them in." ”

Miss Zhao asked listlessly: "Is it a pleated skirt again?" ”

Mrs. Tian came over to salute and said, "But it's not, Miss Custodian hasn't seen it, and the things that my Mrs. Tian sells must be worthy of Miss's fairy-like person." ”

After listening to the flattery, Miss Zhao was finally happier and said with a smile: "You traitor, you haven't brought anything yet, just your mouth, how many immortals do you want to see in a day." ”

Mrs. Tian put down the basket and said: "How can a fairy like Miss be seen casually, if it weren't for the old body walking in this alley today, I'm afraid I won't see it for a lifetime, Miss is not only beautiful and refined, the furnishings in the house are elegant, and even the craftsmanship of flower arrangement is also good, what is it if you are not a fairy." ”

Miss Zhao laughed for a while, this woman's eloquence may be comparable to that villain's family, but she walks the streets and alleys every day, of course she can practice, this Chen account room is a person who reads and settles accounts, and I don't know where to learn.

"Then you can tell me how good the flower arrangement is, and if it's right, I'll buy you two, and if it's not good, I won't let you take it out."

Mrs. Tian had just opened the basket and was about to take it out, but when she heard this, she had to put it back, but she still said unhurriedly: "Miss opened the golden mouth, and the old body will talk about it." ”

Miss Zhao and Ju Xiang both looked at her with interest, they were all locked up at home by Mrs. Zhao for the past few days, and this woman gave her tongue, it was all fun.

"The hall should be big, the bedroom should be small, Miss this gooseneck bottle is more than seven inches, it is a small bottle, with the boudoir, the flower out of the bottle mouth eight -nine inches, the length is in line with the law of the ancients, the bottle body is slender, Miss will be a high and a low insertion, low branches and pinching, staggered. If it weren't for the ingenuity of the young lady, how could she make such an elegant flower arrangement. ”

Ju Xiang smiled: "Mrs. Tian, where did you learn this, is it possible that you can also arrange flowers at home." ”

Mrs. Tian said: "I haven't listened to what those young ladies said, it's all my good things, they are happy to buy them, so they leave me to talk more, you see my stupid appearance, just remember, where can I insert it." ”

Miss Zhao was in a much better mood after her conversation, and said with a smile: "Since it was said by the young lady, then they all know how to do it, and they will definitely be able to insert such flowers." Okay, then you're right, take out your clothes and I'll take a look, and if the workmanship is okay, I'll buy you two. ”

Tian Mao's wife said all the good things, and it took a lot of saliva to finally arrive at the play, and hurriedly and carefully took out a dress, shook it open and showed it to the two.

A white satin dress was displayed in front of the two, with no open front, a high neckline, an elegant lotus flower completely embroidered in the center, and the waist was slightly tightened unlike the general deep coat.

Miss Zhao's eyes lit up, and she grabbed it, and compared it to her body, Ju Xiang also turned around and looked at it carefully.

"Miss, this dress is not good, it looks good, how can you wear it."

Tian Pozi helped pull the sleeves and said: "Sister Juxiang, you don't know, this dress is a pullover, the button is also on the back of the neck, the upper body is more beautiful than the deep clothes, the one I sold before noon, the young lady refused to take it off when she put it on, saying that she even had to wear it to sleep, or let the young lady try it." ”

Miss Zhao had this intention, so she quickly opened the bead curtain with Ju Xiang, went to change clothes behind the screen, and walked out after a while. Wearing a white dress, the waist is like a willow when walking, the skirt is swaying, and the lotus flowers on the chest reflect the delicate appearance, which is really elegant and fairy.

Mrs. Tian and Ju Xiang were also stunned for a while, and Miss Zhao didn't expect such a fit, seeing the two of them looking at themselves, she blushed a little, and said slightly angrily: "How to wear this dress, you can talk about it." ”

Mrs. Tian came back to her senses: "Okay, good, it's really good-looking, even my old mother-in-law is dumbfounded, if you ask a man's family to see it......"

"Hey, what are you talking nonsense about?" Ju Xiang heard that she was talking nonsense, and quickly stopped her.

"Yes, yes, it's so beautiful anyway, and I don't think Chang'e in the moon is just like that."

Miss Zhao was happy in her heart, and teased the mother-in-law and said, "You mother-in-law is still talking nonsense, Chang'e is worthy of Zhu Bajie, what do you think of me." ”

Tian Maipo looked at her expression, knew that she was joking, and replied with a smile: "Look at my mouth, how can Miss also match Tang San, no, no, it is with the Jade Emperor, Miss, you can buy a few more pieces, change a few colors, really, look at this beautiful, this time I don't shame those Oiran to death." ”

Ju Xiang also said next to him: "Really, Miss looks so good in it, this dress has a narrower waist, how can it look so much at once." ”

Miss Zhao was proud for a while, so she didn't care about Tian Mai's wife comparing her with the Qinglou woman, and she didn't ask the price, and said generously: "Then buy three, I want two, and buy one for Juxiang." ”

"Really?" Ju Xiang jumped up for joy, and immediately ran over to rummage through the back basket of the Tian Selling Woman, but there was only a pile of rouge pollen and a strange wooden shelf, and there were no clothes.

"Why not? Then you still ask the lady to buy a few more? You woman is a liar. Ju Xiang was disappointed, and started a fire with this woman.

"Oh, Sister Juxiang, you can blame me for what you said, this dress is not as good as rouge pollen, each person is different in size, they are all samples, I helped measure the size and take it back to make it and send it back, but today it is a coincidence, this one really fits the body of the young lady like this."

"Hmph, when are you going to do it?"

"This, the old body doesn't know, the old body has been sold for more than ten or twenty days, there are orders every day, and the orders ordered three days ago have not been done, just today I have received three pieces, and the clothing store doesn't know how many more are still arranged, in short, I must help the two of them hurry up. That's right. Tian Mai Po suddenly remembered something, took out the wooden shelf in the back basket, and said to the two: "Miss, you see, these clothes are made of silk satin, don't break the hook, each piece of clothing is also equipped with one, this, called a hanger, use this set and then hang it on the hook, you are not afraid, you say, how good this is." With that, he took the skirt and hung it on the hanger.

"What a coincidence." Miss Zhao took the hanger and looked left and right, admiring, although the hanger is a very simple thing, but the first time I saw it, it was still a novelty. A beautiful orchid was also drawn on the hanger with colored pens and an orchid character was written. Ju Xiang also praised it, she turned her head and asked Mrs. Tian: "The owner of this clothing store is really a capable person, where is the clothing store opened?" ”

The Tian seller refused to say, for fear that these people would go to the store to buy it by themselves, so she said: "The old body is not clear, it was all sent by others." ”

"You mother-in-law, you can still sell this dress for a lifetime, my young lady said that buying three pieces is three, you don't say that I really went to find it myself, this Tianjin City is a big place, I don't believe I can't find it."

Mrs. Tian said reluctantly: "That young lady can say okay, this skirt is two or eight yuan a piece, and the hanger is two dollars, you have to buy it from me." ”

"Come on, I want this ready-made piece, and I'll give you a tael of silver for each of the two pieces I ordered. It's all right, say it quickly. ”

"It's an orchid clothing store in Jingdongfang."

"Jingdongfang." Miss Zhao read softly, listening to Lao Cai, the villain's house is also Jingdongfang, where there are some eccentric people, that day back to tell my mother that I think the Chen account room is good, the mother also has the meaning of agreeing, it seems that the mother also discussed with the father, since then, it seems that there is a trace of concern for this person, he and his father have been at sea together for more than 40 days, has not arrived in the country of Wa, has the wind and waves at sea scared him, and what is his father's opinion of him.

For a while, the mood became melancholy again, and when I raised my eyes, I saw the back of my mother under the corridor, delicate and lonely.
