Zhuo Jinglan treats today's three guests very attentively.

Because of the relationship with Yuan Dongchu, especially with Xiuchun and Xiaocui, it was a completely new experience for her.

There are only those people in the Tongzhou ladies circle, and there are only those things, and there is really nothing new.

In fact, as she expected, Xiuchun and Xiaocui were not only familiar with the delivery business, but also some of the rural experiences they talked about were also very interesting to Zhuo Jinglan's ears.

Yuan Dongchu is even more fond of it, with the eyes of modern urbanites looking at natural landscapes and folk customs, rendering modern people's experience of the mountains and wilderness, which opened Zhuo Jinglan's eyes.

Compared to modern times, the life of ancient people was extremely boring. Due to traffic and safety problems, except for some wizards, few people will have the leisure to trek through mountains and rivers to enjoy the mountain scenery.

Just like urban people who specialize in eating and living in farmhouses, they feel a different simplicity, and they will have a back-to-basics artistic conception, Yuan Dongchu let Zhuo Jinglan do such an experience.

Seeing that the second lady of the Zhuo family was about to fall into the pit, Yuan Dongchu poured a basin of cold water on her very conscientiously, popularized the suffering of the people outside the wild fun to her, and then explained the dangerous situation of the traffic, so that Zhuo Jinglan's starry eyes were normal.

However, between the ups and downs, many things were in Zhuo Jinglan's heart, leaving her untouched before.

Next, Yuan Dongchu brought the topic to the great river that runs through the north and south, and talked about the prosperity that the river brought to various places.

In Zhuo Jinglan's impression, the prosperity brought by the river is most directly reflected in the prosperity of Hongjiang Shipyard. Now that this matter is mentioned again, there will be more convenience brought by Chengyun delivery and purchasing affairs.

She heard from Zhuo Yuantu that if there were no boats on the big river and no prosperous river transportation, it would be difficult for the letter bureau to do it, let alone make a profit.

This unexpectedly unintended business idea has made Chengyun delivery an unprecedented success, not only the vigorous work of the letter bureau, but also the purchase business.

It is the nobles of the Tongzhou family together, and many times the topic will fall on the silk flowers, ornaments, and gouache and balsam in the north and south.

These items that they could only get by chance in the past, after having Chengyun purchasing, although they can't say that they can get it handy, it doesn't take much effort.

When people get together, they sometimes share with each other what ingredients they bought in their mansions, and which famous towns they bought porcelain and furnishings.

Speaking of this, Zhuo Jinglan had more admiration in her words: "If you say that Chengyun's best business is purchasing agents." Nowadays, for people who are a little more decent, each family has one or two copies of Chengyun's purchasing list, which is more convenient when choosing items. ”

Yuan Dongchu knew about this.

The purchasing agent has not been done for a long time, but what many mansions need, it is no longer to take samples to Chengyun to deliver and entrust the purchase, but to copy the purchasing list of Chengyun delivery, put it at home, and you can choose your favorite one at any time.

With the increase of shopping items delivered by Chengyun, the list of transcriptions will be updated at any time to follow up the new product information of Chengyun in a timely manner.

This is not only the case in Tongzhou, but also in all parts of the country. Moreover, the update of the purchasing goods is the information that each semicolon takes the initiative to give to old customers.

Of course, Yuan Dongchu didn't want to admit it arrogantly, this was what she had expected before, so she could only say modestly: "When we wrote the preparation documents, we had already anticipated all kinds of situations to the best. I didn't expect it to be so smooth. ”

"Yes," Zhuo Jinglan sighed, "my father often lamented that he had been in charge of the shipyard for many years, and he had been exposed to a lot of things. However, the smooth operation of delivery banks and purchasing agents at the beginning of winter is unprecedented. ”

Xiuchun and Xiaocui listened with a smile, and there was honor.

Yuan Dongchu continued to be modest: "It seems that our luck is really good. ”

"Alas," Zhuo Jinglan sighed suddenly, with a slight worry in her tone, "If the business is too good, there will be people who want to get a piece of the pie." ”

"Is anyone going to open a delivery bank too?" Xiuchun and Xiaocui were surprised and looked at Yuan Dongchu at the same time.

Seeing the expressions of Xiuchun and the others, Zhuo Jinglan was also surprised, and asked Yuan Dongchu, "You also thought of this?" I heard that there are big families and several wealthy people in Tongzhou, and they have sent people to inquire in many places during this time, and it seems that they want to get involved in this business. ”

"Then we'll have to figure it out sooner." Xiuchun was the first to speak.

Xiao Cui paid attention to Yuan Dongchu's reaction. Although the Zhuo family is magnificent, the second lady of the Zhuo family wears gold and silver, and she is noble enough. But when it comes to solving things, Xiaocui feels that the Zhuo family and the second miss will definitely not be able to compare to Yuan Dongchu.

Yuan Dongchu gave everyone a helpless expression: "If other families have money, boats, and manpower, no one can stop them and let them do the delivery business." ”

"Let's go back and discuss it with the big guys, there will always be a countermeasure. Why can't we be compared to other families! Xiao Cui said, her words were very firm.

Chengyun delivery is getting better and better, and the big guys are full of confidence. At this time, suddenly someone wants to intervene in this industry, or is it a big family and a rich man who is competing with them for jobs, how can this work?

is also using the river transportation of the big river, Xiaocui and others heard Yuan Dongchu say that there are many rich people in the world, and the financial resources and manpower of others are definitely not comparable to Chengyun.

Such a fierce opponent would buy a large number of ships for transportation if he invested a large amount of silver in a short period of time...... Xiao Cui's mind moved, and then looked at Yuan Dongchu, this thing doesn't seem to be something that can be done with just silver, right?

Suddenly, her heart settled.

Xiuchun's performance is righteous indignation, do those people still know shame? Whether it is delivery or purchasing, it is all thought up by people at the beginning of winter.

Those people who seem to have heads and faces are so shameless and want to steal their ideas to make money!

Xiuchun and Xiaocui's reaction made Zhuo Jinglan feel an inexplicable feeling in her heart, and she was a little envious of them.

Although these two girls came from poor backgrounds, they have their own persistence and strong hopes. In this world, there is a goal they strive for.

And what about her? Thinking about it seriously, it seems that there is only one goal she pursues all her life: to marry a good man, and then to be a good wife and mother, and raise children.

"Miss Yu, Miss Yang, how long are you going to work in the delivery bank?" Zhuo Jinglan asked.

What she thought to herself: They always have to get married, right? What happens after you get married? Will the husband's family allow them to continue to show their heads outside?

"Of course it has been doing it all the time." Xiuchun replied very simply, as if this was how things should be.

"This ...... I heard that Miss Yu is already engaged? Zhuo Jinglan asked very tactfully.

Xiuchun opened her mouth, and with her cool personality, she also showed shyness on this issue.

Yuan Dongchu probably guessed what she was thinking from Zhuo Jinglan's reaction and questioning, and replied for Xiuchun: "Xiuchun and her cousin's childhood sweetheart, the result of the current discussion between the two families, are willing to continue to work in the delivery bank. ”

"That's it......" Zhuo Jinglan had an indescribable mood, like envy, regret, and a little lost.

She looked at Cui again.
