At the end of May, Jinling City, the sound and song are long, and the song of the warbler is fluttering and permeating the Qinhuai River.

Ruoxue has been very busy these days, and the raw silk from all over the country has been listed in a centralized manner, because the supply exceeds demand, the price has dropped sharply, and even the silk in the shop has also declined.

Ruoxue had to wait in the big study in the front yard every day, waiting for the price of silk from all over the world to come here, and it was up to her to decide whether to continue the purchase, and to summarize how much money was spent in various places.

In this way, if the snow is dark, you can not go back to rest.

Today, the price of silk on the market has dropped by more than 600 dollars, but silk has indeed come out more.

Zhang Jing looked at Ruoxue who was sitting behind the long case, for many days, the eldest lady asked all the places to buy all the raw silk on the market at a reasonable price, but there were indeed more and more raw silk on the market, and they couldn't finish it.

I don't know how much money I've spent in the past few days?

A housekeeper came in and said, "Miss, there's a letter from Suzhou." As he spoke, he approached, laid down a pigeon cage and withdrew.

Ruohong opened the cage, grabbed the pigeon inside, untied the letter box on its lap and handed it to Ruoxue, then put the pigeon back in the cage and grabbed a handful of grain to feed it.

Ruoxue stretched out her hand to take it, took out the letter paper inside, swept it over, and said, "Suzhou bought 18,000 catties of raw silk, with a total price of 14,650 taels of silver." ”

Ruohong picked up the quill pen and wrote down a line of numbers on the paper, while Ruoxue took the brush and recorded it in an open account book.

There is also an account room in front of the east bookcase, and I also wrote down the numbers just now.

Zhang Jing looked at Ruoxue and asked, "How long will it take to accept it like this?" We weavers don't need so much silk. ”

"Until there is no silk on the market."

When will this be received? Zhang Jing couldn't guess what Ruoxue thought, and she didn't say anything when he asked her, and the proprietor rarely said her thoughts for everyone to discuss.

In the past two days, many merchants have seen Ruoxue's acquisition like this, and instead of buying together, they took out all the silk they had collected and sold it to Ruoxue's acquisition points in various places.

If this continues, the Mei family's silver will become those raw silks.

When Zhang Jing looked for Ruohong and looked up, he tapped the door with a folding fan and motioned for her to go out and talk.

Ruohong followed Zhang Jing to the courtyard and stood in the shade of the camphor tree, "Sir, is there anything you want to ask me?" She said.

Zhang Jing looked at the door of the study and asked, "Third Miss, do you know how the eldest lady wants to deal with so much silk?" ”

He thought that Ruohong and Ruoxue were always together, and he should know what Ruoxue thought, and he would tell her what he would do in the future.

Ruohong shook her head and said, "I don't know, the eldest sister didn't tell me." ”

"Didn't you ask her?"

"Asked ,......"

"What did she say?"

"She said you'll know when the time comes."

Zhang Jing was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, how did this seem to be said specifically to him? "Hehe, the eldest lady is right, you'll know when the time comes." He said.

Zhang Jing looked at the few maids under the corridor on the left, turned back to Ruohong and said, "I'll take a look on the street, and you can tell me when the eldest lady asks." ”

Ruohong smiled and replied, "Okay, sir, please take care of yourself." ”

Zhang Jing walked out of the East Corner Gate and walked towards Suzaku Street.

Ruoxue saw Ruohong come back and asked, "What did Mr. Zhang say to you?" ”

"He asked you what you want to do with those silks, I said I don't know, he doesn't seem to believe it......" Ruohong walked to the long table and propped her hands on the table, looked at Ruoxue and asked, "Can you tell me?" I promise not to say it. ”

Ruoxue looked at her and smiled, "It'll be fine in a few days, and I'll tell you what you ask when the time comes, but it's not right now." ”

"Okay."

Ruohong felt that this sister had a lot of things on her mind, and she always felt that she was bearing something, but she refused to tell anyone when she asked her, and she couldn't help him if she wanted to.

There was a sound of a maid talking at the door, and after a while, Lianxin came in and said anxiously: "Miss, the second wife is making trouble in the Songhe Courtyard to split up, and the old lady asked Jinzhu to invite you to talk!" ”

Ruoxue stood up and smiled bitterly, "What should come is always coming!" As she spoke, she walked out of the long case, stretched out her hand to pull Ruohong and said, "Come with me and have a look." ”

When I came to the Songhe Courtyard, I heard the voice of the second wife Yang, coming out of the west wing, and a group of maids stood in the place where the sun could not shine under the porch, pricking up their ears to listen to the novelty and excitement.

"Auntie, tell me if Ruoxue's girl is stupid! She asked people to buy all the silk that no one wanted and piled it up in the warehouse, which was higher than the hill.

Listening to Zhiyuan's uncle, Ruoxue also bought a large amount of silk in several surrounding state capitals; Can't the silk be eaten as food, and stay at home waiting for the cubs?

I don't care, I'm going to split up, this is not her Mei Ruoxue alone, why do you have to occupy it alone! ……”

Ruoxue was still talking endlessly when she came in, and when she saw her coming in, he pointed at her and said, "You came just in time, hurry up and calculate the family property, divide it into three parts, and give us my share." ”

In addition to Mrs. Cao and Yang, there are Tao and the second Miss Ruoxian, the fourth Miss Ruofeng, the fifth Miss Ruofei, the sixth Miss Ruolan and the fourth young master Mei Zhishu.

The eldest young master Mei Zhiyuan was an apprentice in Jiutong Fortune, and he didn't come back once in seven or eight days, the second young master Mei Zhigao and the third young master Mei Zhifang went to the school, and they haven't come back yet.

Ruoxue and Ruohong were not in a hurry, and saluted Mrs. Cao, who was sitting in the chair of the peachwood Taishi, and turned around and gave Yang and Tao a blessing, all of which were the courtesies of the juniors.

Ruoxue looked at the Yang family and said, "The separation of the family is a major matter, and it can only be implemented after careful discussion." ”

What you have to say is that now you don't count.

Ruoxue turned to look at the old lady Cao, who had a calm face, and asked, "Does Grandma have anything to say to her granddaughter?" ”

Old Madam Cao turned the string of sandalwood Buddhist beads in her hand, and said in a calm tone, "Do you know what you are doing?" Have you considered the consequences? ”

Ruoxue didn't answer Old Madam Cao's words immediately, but paused before saying, "I've thought about the consequences, I won't put the family to death." ”

Old Madam Cao glanced at Ruoxue again and said, "That's good." She closed her eyes slightly, and then said, "Go and get my son back." ”

A maid answered and went out to find someone.

Yang couldn't sit still, so he simply stood up, raised his hand and pointed at Ruoxue and said to Old Madam Cao: "A-Niang, how can you believe her nonsense? Did she think about it? If she had thought about it, she wouldn't bet with anyone; If she had thought about it, she wouldn't have bought silk that no one wanted.

Auntie, how many times has she lied to us! You still believe her nonsense,......"

She looked at Ruoxue again and said, "Do you have the ability not to play with our family's silver!" You go and take your mother's dowry to play, we don't care how much you lose and how much you earn, you go! ……”
