Chapter 70: Difficult Business

Shang Dongliang stood dumbfounded when he heard this, not knowing how to answer.

It is a great thing to be able to sell it into the palace! However, everyone knows that it is a bit difficult to be a bird! What's more, the ancestors of the merchant said that they were not allowed to enter Beijing for business. However, this is the Hou Ye, that is in the palace! Can I refuse to say no?

I can't afford to offend any of them. I thought it was Murong Hou Ye who wanted it, that is, it was okay to give Hou Ye ten horses for each color, because Hou Ye should give Xiao Si ointment. That's a lifesaver.

Shang Dongliang looked at the young Hou Ye, and didn't know how to answer him for a while.

Murong Houye looked at Shang Dongliang's embarrassed appearance, raised his eyebrows and said:

"What? Confused? ”

Shang Dongliang was thinking about how to refuse. Think about it:

"Master Hou, what you said about this, the little one really wants to deal with it. But if you want to come to the palace, you can't get that much for a while. This batch was originally some white cloth in a small warehouse, and the small one originally wanted to dye those white cloths and sell them. There is no need to stock again this year. And if you want this, the little ones won't be able to get out. Because the small one is in a small yard in this house, I just want to make a few to sell it, and it should be a New Year's scene. ”

After thinking about it, he said:

"Besides, if this cloth is sent to the palace, the little one will suffer."

So, he told Wanglan about the new clothes they sent to Hu's house. Road:

"If this spreads, this new cloth will be worn by Miss Hou first, and the people in the palace will wear it later. The little one is guilty. ”

"Oh? The surname Liu? ”

Murong Houye pondered for a while and said:

"That's right. Well, I'll take care of the rest, and you just have to give me twenty pieces of cloth of each color. Not much, right? As for the matter surnamed Liu, just leave it to me. ”

Shang Dongliang was still a little embarrassed and said:

"But, Master Hou. The little ancestor said that you should not enter Beijing for business. ”

Murong Hou Ye chuckled and said:

"Why are you so dead-headed? It's a shame to say that you are still the number one merchant in this Baiyuan City, I didn't say it, leave it to me. I'll take it to Beijing, and you'll just sell it to me here." In the future, whoever wants it in Beijing, you will ask someone to find me to get it, and you said, can't this cloth only be sold by the Murong family? ”

Shang Dongliang paused. If this is the case, then this is the Murong family's thing. Shang Dongliang didn't know whether to respond for a while, shook his head and said:

"Master Hou, it's no problem for Shang to send these cloths to Master Hou, but in the future, all this person's cloth will be sold by the Hou Mansion? The little one wants to talk to the little girl about this. ”

Murong Qing, who was originally raising his glass to drink water, heard Shang Dongliang say this, and squirted out the tea with a pop, and said with a somewhat embarrassed smile:

"You can't be the master of this business?"

Shang Dongliang smiled this time:

"It's not that it's small, it's just this cloth. Originally, it was made by the little girl, and the little girl said that she wanted to let the business survive the difficulties of the New Year. Moreover, she is arranging for people to make something empty, saying that it is used to print cloth, and in the future, if there is a favorite flower type, she does not need to embroider, she will print it directly. ”

"So, you said that you have these plans for the little girl, how can I decide for myself to give this thing to Master Hou. I've got to tell her about it and ask her what she means. ”

Murong Qing glanced at Shang Dongliang deeply, and he understood the meaning of Shang Dongliang's words just now. If you don't say anything else, just look at the tone and expression of Shang Dongliang's speech, you know that he said just now that he wanted to ask his daughter, and he really wanted to ask his daughter before deciding. Not to cope with myself.

It seems that this merchant does not value his daughter ordinarily!

From this point of view, this merchant is really a special person. Before I came, I heard from the shopkeeper in the Hanlin store. This merchant has only seven daughters and no sons, and now all the people in Baiyuan City are waiting to see the merchant's jokes, wanting to see who this merchant will inherit this Wanguan family property!

And I heard that this merchant master also suffered a lot of ridicule, because he only had a daughter and no son. I didn't expect this old man to treat his daughter like this. This is a very unusual father.

Murong Hou Ye was a little moved in his heart, and nodded and said:

"Okay, you can ask Miss Shang what she means. Then just leave a letter to Hanlin Xuanli, and someone will tell me. ”

Shang Dongliang bowed down again and again. Sent Murong Hou Ye out of the study, and when he was out of the courtyard, Murong Hou Ye turned his head and asked:

"You said that the one who blows the painting and the one who makes the cloth are the same daughter?"

"Yes, they are the youngest fourth daughter, and they are seven years old this year."

"Four girls!"

Murong Hou Ye turned around and walked out of the business. Shang Dongliang who sent it out also saw clearly, there was a green cloth sedan chair outside the door, and outsiders couldn't tell that it would be Hou Ye sitting in the sedan chair! This Hou Ye is also a little strange!

Shang Dongliang was covered in a cold sweat and sent Hou Ye away. Hurriedly turned around and went back to the backyard. I saw Shu Yunniang with her eldest daughter and Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi eating.

Shu Yunniang looked at Master Shang with some surprise and said:

"I thought you'd eat in the outer courtyard. Juan, go and call the kitchen to bring the master's food. ”

Shang Dongliang went to clean his hands. Then he sat down, picked up the wine glass that Xiangyu had poured for him, took a sip and said:

"Madam, we are in great joy and trouble. Tell me, what if you help me see this? ”

Shu Yunniang gave Xiao Liu a chopsticks side dish, and then smiled a little:

"What great joy has happened to my lord? Let's hear about it too? ”

"Didn't Dr. Wen say today that it's best for Xiao Si's arm to have that kind of bone ointment? Originally, we had nothing to do with the capital, but now, someone has come and wants to bring the ointment. He has ordered them to go back to the capital to get them. ”

"It's a great event!"

Shu Yunniang slapped the table when she heard the words and said:

"That's great. Amitabha! My daughter's arm has been saved! ”

Even Nian Lan, who was listening to it on the side, also smiled and nodded again and again.

Shang Dongliang sighed again and said:

"However, we can't afford to mess with this person. Because that's the marquis of the capital! ”

Shu Yunniang and Nian Lan glanced at each other, Master Hou?

Shang Dongliang Road:

"It's the Hou Ye in Beijing, he saw the plum blossom blown by Ruonan, so he came to ask how the flower was drawn, and I also told the truth, people are connoisseurs, and they are not drawn at a glance. I also showed it to people, and it was blown out. Then he saw the colored cloth I had placed in my study. So, he wanted to order the cloth. However, he was the first to order the palace. ”

Shu Yunniang was pleasantly surprised:

"Wouldn't that be better? With the ladies in the palace helping us to promote, wouldn't it be better to sell cloth? ”
