Although Hu Wan's fiancée has a dowry shop that is an embroidery workshop, the scale is limited, and all the ornaments sold are less than two hundred taels of silver. People make a special trip from home to the provincial capital to sell, they should want to sell it at a good price, and they can also sell it at a good price.

Hu Wan smiled again, "The largest embroidery workshop in Jinzhou Mansion is the Lanxin Embroidery Workshop, I also know the shopkeeper of the embroidery workshop, I will accompany you to a trip tomorrow, just take my sister and you to see the wealth and prosperity of Ningzhou Mansion." ”

The crowd is willing.

After breakfast the next day, Xu Lanyin went to the guest room to see Xu Lanting first. Xiao Zhengtai has been working hard in the car for the past two days, and the weather is getting hotter, and it is a little bad, lying on the bed cowardly, and he will definitely not be able to take him out to play today.

Xu Lanyin wanted to accompany Hu Yi, so Xu Lanzhou had to stay at home to accompany Xu Lanting.

Xu Lanzhou repeatedly instructed Xu Lanyin that the embroidered screen should be sold at a good price, and he resolutely refused to sell it if it was less than three hundred taels.

Xu Lanyin smiled, "I'm not stupid, of course I know that I have to sell at a good price." ”

Seeing the reluctance in Xu Lanting's eyes, Xu Lanyin pinched his little face and made a wish, "Strive to sell the embroidery at a good price today and buy delicious food for you to bring back." Tomorrow I will take you to the hospital, eat in the restaurant at noon, and then go to the study and ink studio to buy you books and pen, ink, paper, and inkstone......"

When he shouldn't be willful, Xiao Zhengtai will definitely not be willful, and whispered, "Okay." ”

Zhao Wu asked Xu Lanzhou to help him receive pockmarks.

This morning, he had already released Mazi, and he also tied a small bamboo pipe to his leg, and a few words were written on the paper inside, "Auntie, when will Mazi arrive home, and when will you fly." ”

Xiaozao Village is only more than 200 miles away from Ningzhou Mansion, and if Mazi flies home directly and does not take the wrong road, he can fly back in less than an hour.

There were also carrier pigeons in this era, but there was a big mistake in sending the message, and it was impossible to let it go wherever it wanted, so important information was still sent by people. But Zhao Wu didn't have so many resources, and it happened that Mazi was very smart, so he hoped to train Mazi well and help him in the future.

If it weren't for the fact that Xu Lanzhou wanted to stay with Xu Lanting, he would have stayed and waited for the news of Mazi.

Xu Lanzhou nodded excitedly, he was also looking forward to it.

When a few people went out, there were still two carriages, one for Hu Yi, Xu Lanyin and Meng'er, and one for Zhao Wu and Hu Wan.

Ningzhou Mansion is more than ten times larger than Nanping County, the streets are wide, the flow of people is surging, and the shouts come and go.

Lanxin Embroidery Workshop is located on Huangshi Street, the most prosperous street in Ningzhou Prefecture. The road is paved with bluestone slabs, and ten carriages can be paralleled at the same time, and the small buildings on both sides are lined up one after another, and the furniture is hung with colorful silk lanterns, which is very lively.

When they arrived at the street, several people got out of the car and walked.

Hu Wan pointed to a small three-story building with gray walls, tiles, dark vermilion doors and windows, and said, "That Xu's tea shop is my family's property." ”

Xu Lanyin had already heard that the tea produced by the Xu family was tribute tea, and it was also one of the four largest tea merchants in the Daimyo, and the Xu family was a proper imperial merchant. The Xu family branch was in charge of tea gardens and tea making in Fujian, and the head of the family also served as a nominal petty official under the household department, and Hu Wan's father-in-law was a branch of the family, responsible for the sales of Xu's tea in several central provinces.

Even if he is a concubine, he is much richer than the Hu family.

There are many projects operated by the Hu family, but the scale is not large, and Hu Wan found the girl of the Xu family. The main reason is that Miss Xu's father fell in love with Hu Wan and felt that he was shrewd and steady, and he also read well, and he would have a great future after guiding him.

Several people went directly to the Lanxin Embroidery Workshop.

Hu Wan said a few polite words to a man in his thirties, and after introducing Hu Yi and the others, he smiled and said, "They brought a good embroidery, and Shopkeeper Zhao will see if there is any interest." ”

Shopkeeper Zhao hurriedly invited a few people into the hut.

A few people sat down, Xiao Er served tea, Zhao Wu put the small embroidery screen in his hand on the ground, and then took off the plain silk wrapped outside.

Shopkeeper Zhao's eyes flashed, and he got up and came to the embroidery screen to look carefully.

Hu Wan smiled, "I am young and short-sighted, and it is the first time I have seen the embroidery of Hua Xiong, and it is so exquisite." ”

Shopkeeper Zhao looked at the front, then turned to the back, and the back was the same as the front.

Shopkeeper Zhao's eyes flashed again, pinched his beard and smiled, "Yes, it's still double-sided embroidery." It's also the first time I've seen a bear embroidery, but I don't know if it's the first embroidered bear...... This embroidery is extremely well embroidered, highlighting the naughty and naughty nature of the flower bear. Such a huge and fierce guy, as cute as a puppy and a kitten......" He looked at Zhao Wudao, "How much silver do you want to sell?" ”

Zhao Wu looked at Xu Lanyin.

Shopkeeper Zhao's legs would occasionally lean on the chair next to him, Xu Lanyin leaned to the other side of the chair, and heard that Shopkeeper Zhao praised the embroidery screen higher in his heart, and was especially sure that this was the first embroidery of the Daimyo's embroidered bear. In his mind, although this is just a kang screen, but because no one embroidered the bear before, the embroidery is well laid out and embroidered well, if it is sold well, it will not be less than six hundred taels of silver.

She secretly thought that merchants also want to make money, so she should sell at least five hundred taels to be cost-effective.

She smiled, "I heard Brother Hu say that the Lanxin Embroidery Workshop is the largest embroidery workshop in our province. To achieve this scale, the shopkeeper Zhao not only has a good mind in business, but also a pair of discerning eyes, and the good shopkeeper Zhao must see the good embroidery. I shouted a conscience price, six hundred taels of silver. ”

Shopkeeper Zhao smiled, because it was brought by Hu Wan, he didn't want to lower the price too much, but he would definitely not give six hundred taels. smiled, "The little lady is very good at talking." If this embroidered screen is a large screen, it can indeed be sold for six taels of silver, but it is a kang screen. So be it, I'll give you four hundred taels of silver, which is fair. ”

Xu Lanyin praised the embroidered screen a few more words, and said with a smile, "One price, five hundred taels." It can't be lower, so much silver is my mother's confession. ”

Hu Yi was already impatient with their trembling. pouted and said, "Sister Xu won't shout the price indiscriminately, she said five hundred taels, it must be worth the price." ”

Of course, Hu Wan was biased towards Xu Lanyin in his heart, and said with a smile, "I'm impartial to say fairly, this embroidery is indeed worth this price." As soon as the shopkeeper Zhao changed hands, he would definitely not earn less. ”

Shopkeeper Zhao pointed at Hu Wan and said with a smile, "You also said that you are impartial, you have already gone to your sister-in-law's side." That's it, that's the price. ”

You can earn a hundred taels of silver by changing hands, which is not a bad deal.

A few people happily left the embroidery workshop, and Hu Yi pouted and said, "I still want to buy some beautiful silk threads and plain silk embroidery tweed......

Xu Lanyin said with a smile, "Go to Miss Xu's embroidery workshop to buy it." ”

Hu Yi also laughed and said, "Yes, let's take care of my sister-in-law's business." ”

Hu Wan's face was a little feverish, but he still agreed, "Okay." Her embroidery workshop is on another street, let's go down. Take a stroll around this street first. ”

They went to the silver building, cloth village, and ink shop on this street, Hu Wan paid for the things that Hu Yi liked, and Zhao Wu paid for the things that Xu Lan fancied. Xu Lan thought that the things here were expensive, so she bought very little.
