Chapter 41: The Kwok Clan
"Then let's go to Zhiyuan Study." Ji Qing said.
Yuan Bao answered, and set off with the carriage.
Ji Qing thought about how many times she had been to Zhiyuan's study during this time, and she was a little smiling for a while, she had rarely gone out in the past ten years, and now she counted the places she went to the most, except for the house in Xinghua Hutong, it was Zhiyuan's study.
After a short time, the carriage stopped outside Zhiyuan's study.
Yuan Bao drove the carriage to the stable, and Ji Qing took Honeysuckle and Holly into the study.
The previous time I came here was to get the rewarded deed, so I went straight to the bookshelf according to the instructions of the system, and I didn't have time to take a good look in the Zhiyuan study, but now after a careful look, Ji Qing found that the Zhiyuan study has undoubtedly changed greatly in the past ten years, just like Yuan Bao said, not just selling books.
Crossing the bookshelves one by one, Ji Qing came to the area where the four treasures of the study room were sold, and there were all kinds of paper, hemp paper, rice paper, bamboo paper, etc.
When he saw the various colored notes placed in a certain area, Ji Qing paused slightly.
A junior who ran the hall saw Ji Qing stop in front of those flower notes, and hurriedly greeted with a smile: "This girl is really good-looking, these flower notes sold in our study are newly made by Guo's Paper Mill this year, and the ladies in all the provinces in the capital are very fond of it!" ”
This is true, because the color of these flower notes is not as monotonous as ordinary paper, it is indeed popular among the nobles in the capital.
But......
Ji Qing took a closer look at these flower notes, although there were many colors, none of them were the same color as the letterhead in her hand.
If you really want to compare, the letterhead paper in Ji Qing's hand is better than these flowers.
Flipping the various colors of the paper at random, Ji Qing deliberately picked on it: "I don't think this flower paper is very good, the color is not bright enough, and the material of the paper is not good enough, is there no better one?" ”
The little second had a little embarrassment on his face when he heard this, "Girl, these flower notes are already considered superior, if the girl is not satisfied, then she can only go to the Guo family's paper workshop to ask, the eldest girl of the Guo family may still have some good paper in her hand......"
People can know as soon as they hear this, and this Guo family is only afraid that there are still some stories.
Ji Qing paused slightly, and then said: "This eldest girl of the Guo family, is it possible that there is anything else to say?" ”
After saying that, Ji Qing glanced at Honeysuckle.
Honeysuckle came to his senses, took out some broken silver from his purse, and stuffed it into the little two's hand.
"Girl, you're so polite!" Xiao Er smiled happily.
Subsequently, he told the Guo family about the Guo family in detail.
Guo's paper mill is also very famous in the capital, in the early years when Guo's paper mill was the most prosperous, there are paper sellers of Guo's paper mill in various study rooms in the capital, and the paper made by Guo's paper mill has to throw off other paper mills on a street, which has attracted many elegant people to the paper of Guo's paper mill is highly respected.
However, that was the old yellow calendar.
In the past ten years, the younger generation of the Guo family is not very successful, and has not been able to learn the skills passed down by the ancestors, but the eldest girl of the Guo family is very talented in papermaking, a few years ago, the eldest girl of the Guo family also imitated the famous pine flower paper made a brightly colored note, which was placed in the Zhiyuan study consignment.
"Listening to our shopkeeper, as soon as I took this kind of notepaper made by the eldest girl of the Guo family, it was packed and ......bought by An Guogong, who happened to come over to hang out," Xiao Erdao said.
An Guogong.
Ji Qing's heart jumped suddenly.
Xiao Er continued: "Originally, the shopkeeper still wanted to cooperate with Guo's Paper Mill to sell this kind of notepaper on a large scale, but who knew that since then, the eldest girl of the Guo family suddenly got married, and the rest of the Guo family would not make this kind of notepaper, so this matter was put on hold......"
"Then ......," Ji Qing asked, "Do you know what colors are used for this kind of notepaper made by the eldest girl of the Guo family?" ”
Among them, is there any pale green stationery used in the letter in her hand?
Xiao Er shook his head when he heard this: "I don't know this little one, the little one is also listening to the gossip of the shopkeeper when he has nothing to do, what colors are those papers, not to mention the small ones, they are the shopkeepers, I'm afraid I can't remember clearly, after all, it's been about ten years......"
Decade.
Ji Qing felt that he might really find the right direction.
Seeing that Ji Qing seemed to be very interested in this kind of paper made by the eldest girl of the Guo family, Xiao Er thought for a while and said: "If the girl is interested, you might as well go to the Guo family's paper workshop and ask, the eldest girl of the Guo family has a hard life, she lost her husband a few years ago and became a widow, and finally kept her husband's filial piety, and the people on her husband's side bullied her for not having a child under her knees, and poured dirty water on her head, not to mention, and drove people out of her husband's house......"
The eldest girl of the Guo family married her husband lost her father and mother when she was a teenager, and her body and bones were not good, if it weren't for the few acres of thin fields left by her father, I was afraid that she wouldn't even be able to drink medicine.
It is said that the Guo family also has such a big paper mill, and after years of accumulation, the heritage is also profound, and the eldest girl of the Guo family, as the daughter of the Guo family, even if she wants to say that she is close, she should marry the right person, and I don't know why she married such a husband.
No, within a few years of the eldest girl of the Guo family entering the door, her husband couldn't hold on, leaving only the eldest girl of the Guo family alone, and she didn't even have a son and a half daughter under her knees.
Although there is still a widow, in the eyes of the Guo family's eldest girl's husband's family, this is a dead household, and they will find a reason to drive the eldest girl of the Guo family out of the house and eat the house, it is really not difficult to imagine.
When Xiao Er said this, he was also emotional.
After Ji Qing listened to the matter of the eldest girl of the Guo family, thanked Xiao Er, and then led Honeysuckle and Holly out of Zhiyuan Study.
"Girl, are we going to Guo's house now?" Holly asked.
Ji Qing shook his head and ordered Yuanbao, who was waiting outside, to drive the carriage out, while he waited for the carriage at the door of Zhiyuan's study with Honeysuckle Holly.
After waiting for a while, before Yuan Bao drove the carriage out, he waited for a voice that should have been familiar, but felt a little unfamiliar because he hadn't heard it for many years.
"Ruyi!"
This is a female voice, you can hear from the voice, the owner of the voice is old, and the voice contains a lot of emotions, excitement, worry, doubts......
Wait a minute.
Ji Qing's back stiffened.
She subconsciously wanted to turn back, but she came back to her senses in time and forcibly suppressed the urge to turn back.
At this moment, Yuan Bao came out with the carriage, and Ji Qing grabbed Honeysuckle's hand tightly and boarded the carriage on top of Honeysuckle's support.
"Go back!" Ji Qing's tone was hurried.
Yuan Bao didn't know why Ji Qing was in such a hurry, but he still raised his horsewhip and quickly drove away from Zhiyuan's study.
"Ruyi!"
After the carriage walked out of a distance, Ji Qing still heard the faint call from behind.
