Chapter 364: Suspicion of Motives
There is a kind of person in this world.
They always want to make other people's things their own, and their own things are not allowed to be looked at by others.
It's like someone else's bowl is more fragrant, and someone else's husband is more suitable for you.
What they look down on, it should be theirs as a matter of course.
Refuse? They will always try their best to achieve their goals.
Since the Zhou family made its fortune, it has not only relied on craftsmanship, but also on the wrists of the Zhou family to suppress their peers by unscrupulous means.
Now when it comes to Hancheng, who doesn't know that the Zhou family in Hancheng is one of the most famous families.
The ancestors accumulated several generations of family business, which created the happiness of future generations.
Zhou Pan grew up in this background, the Zhou family is male and female, as long as there are means, they can enter the Zhou Ji to do things. She is the third in the line and is the most favored junior in the family.
No matter how wrong she did, the ancestors would forgive her. Therefore, the juniors of the Zhou family did not squeeze her in private.
But Zhou Pan is not afraid for a long time, she has a father and a mother, and brothers and sisters. Those who are irrelevant, don't even deserve a name in her world.
On this day, she hurried in from outside, with a rare anxiety on her face.
The servant guarding the door was also taken aback, who didn't know that the third lady was arrogant, but she was also stable. What they represent outside is the face of the Zhou family, and no one will step on the face of their own family. I suddenly guessed, did the third lady provoke something, this time I really couldn't hold back?
Zhou Pan knew that a little servant dared to arrange her in her heart, so she came in from outside and went straight to Zhou Che's courtyard.
Among the brothers and sisters, she and the second brother are the closest. Because they are the same age, and secondly, because the second brother does not always think that she will be a wreck like others. is to go to the shop to do things, and the second brother supports her.
"Second brother!"
Zhou Che was writing a word, and was startled by Zhou Pan, a good word was ruined like this. Although he has regrets, he will not be angry with his sister because of a single word. put the pen aside, and saw that Zhou Pan's face was full of sweat, and his eyebrows were tightened.
"What's going on?"
Zhou Pan swallowed his mouth and said to relieve the thirst in his throat, and said for a long time: "Do you know the land outside the city?" ”
Is it brother and sister, Zhou Che guessed a little, and then said uncertainly: "Are you talking about Green Lake?" ”
Most of the land in the cold city is owned by the owner, and it is easy to buy and sell. The Zhou family has long taken a fancy to a piece of land, and it is in Green Lake. It is a large area, and there is no interference around it. Also relying on a natural lake, the location is superb.
But before they could do anything, they heard that Green Lake had a master. This made the Zhou family, who had always been invincible in the cold city, somewhat unhappy, and felt that it was deliberate by the seller. After all, the land has been placed there for many years and no one has bought or sold, so why did the Zhou family suddenly sell it if they wanted to make a move.
When the person sent to investigate returned, he brought unexpected news to the Zhou family.
"Does it belong to the government?"
If it weren't for the Zhou family to expand the factory, they wouldn't have set their sights on Green Lake. But now I heard that this land originally belonged to the government, no wonder there has been no sale for many years.
"Yes, it's the land of Green Lake. Didn't the ancestor say that it was not good to offend the owner of that land, so let's not pay too much attention to it. But I kept an eye on it, and when I saw them building a factory, I began to stare at it. ”
Zhou Che said helplessly: "You are all old yellow calendars." ”
It is not new for Luhu to build a textile factory, and many people still say that the construction of a factory here is clearly to get along with the Zhou family. The Zhou family didn't do anything, so they suppressed it slightly, and no one in the cold city dared to sell silk to the textile factory.
They are all people who want to make a living, who will not be able to get along with the 'soil emperor' of the cold city.
The Zhou family gave face to the owners of the textile factory, which was really superficial effort, and there was no more. Therefore, in the eyes of the Zhou family, this textile factory is not to be feared.
Even if you are involved with people in the government, what if you are a royal person? This is a cold city, and it is the territory of the Zhou family!
Whether it's a dragon or a tiger, you have to lie on his stomach!
Zhou Che was also amused when he saw her like this: "What did the textile factory do?" ”
"The textile factory's surname is Qin! It's that Qin Ji in Fucheng! Zhou Pan gasped for breath before he spoke.
Zhou Che's expression immediately changed, "Are you sure?" ”
"I went to the textile factory to see it, and it was indeed a sign of Qin Ji. It's inevitable that they have the same surname, and they have been checked by someone. said that their owner was indeed from Fucheng, also surnamed Qin, and was still a woman. ”
A few months ago, Zhou Pan and Zhou Che had been to Fucheng.
For the Zhou family in the cold city, the capital city of Yingzhou is a small place in the countryside. Don't look not far from the capital, but the city is small and there are few people. Compared with the prosperity and liveliness of the cold city, the city is not the countryside.
Zhou Pan also held this thought, and he didn't know how much he sulked along the way. She stayed well in the cold city, but she was going to be sent to a small place in the countryside like Fucheng.
But who would have thought that in a place where they could see everything in half a day, they would see something new that they had never seen before.
In particular, the factories on the outskirts of the city belong to Qin Ji. Hot search
Whether it's a textile mill or a garment factory, even the oil mill is curious. It's a pity that they are strangers and can't get close. Even locals are not allowed to set foot in the factory at will.
Since then, Zhou Pan has realized that Qin Ji is different from the previous opponents of the Zhou family, and he does have some capital.
When she returned home, she and her second brother told their father about it, only to get a reply of 'what does the child's family know'.
Zhou Pan was very unhappy at the time, and complained to Zhou Che on the way back: "Obviously they asked us to go to Fucheng to see the jacquard machine, but now they actually say what we know, it's really infuriating." ”
Zhou Che glanced at her, and his eyebrows were furrowed. But he didn't say anything, just reassured Zhou Pan and told her not to make a noise.
In the blink of an eye, in less than three months, a factory was built, and I have to say that the speed is a bit amazing. Now that he knew that the other party was Qin Ji's person, Zhou Che had to pay attention to it.
"You wait first, I'll go find my father."
"I'm with me, too."
In the Qinji Textile Factory, Zhang Xiaoyu is debugging the machine.
During this time in the cold city, he tanned a lot.
The machine is good, but there is still a lack of available raw materials. Fortunately, there are raw materials from the Wu family, which solves their urgent needs. The factory processing speed is very fast, and it doesn't take long for these silks.
"Brother Xiaoyu, let's produce like this every day, can these fabrics really be sold?"
The one who spoke was a young man with long hands and feet, don't look honest, but he was a good hand in the textile factory. This is an expert that Zhang Xiaoyu specially brought from Fucheng, just to train the new workers recruited locally.
Zhang Xiaoyu heard this and glanced at him, "How can we guess the affairs of the owner." How much cloth do you think this small factory can produce? When you were in Fucheng, didn't you hear that there is not enough cloth produced now? ”
The young man scratched his head, thinking about what was the case.
After the precious fabrics were ready, he didn't even dare to touch them with his hands. Such a good material, I heard that only the ladies in the palace can wear it. He doesn't know how much to make, so it must be low. Besides, he wasn't worried that if the cloth couldn't be sold, the owner would lose money.
I don't know if Qin Xiang remembered the textile factory in Hancheng at this time, but he was interrupted by a sneeze.
She was writing and drawing on paper, tears in the corners of her eyes, and a sleepy look on her face.
Pepe brought hot water from outside, and when she saw her appearance, she shook her head again, and was helpless: "Madame is going to be sleepy, let's go to sleep for a while." If you endure it like this, you will burn out. ”
Qin Xiang shook his head and refused, "I've only been up for a while, and I'm going back to sleep again, I'm really going to become a pig." After she finished speaking, she yawned uncontrollably.
Pepe had doubts, but he didn't dare to talk nonsense without being confirmed.
I thought to myself: Fortunately, I am still watching over these days, so that my wife does not know how to take care of herself. The kitchen must also be instructed not to prepare blood-invigorating and mutually restraining food.
Alas, Madame is still thinking about eating crabs, which is good.
Pei Pei was carrying a secret, feeling that one head was two big, and Qin Xiang naturally didn't know, she was worried about how to design the winter style.
She brings the ideas, and then the following people carry them out, which is generally the process. But Qin Ji's design concept is slightly different from this era, and there are some places where she can only come in person.
I found a few people who were good at painting and asked them to design ready-to-wear clothes, and I couldn't pick out a few of the 100 pieces that could be used. It's not that they don't know beauty, but they are limited by the times and have limited vision. What's more, I am not a professional designer, and I have never been exposed to this kind of thing, so it is already very good to be able to make one.
However, there is still room for improvement in the design drafts sent during this time, and it is just around the corner to train these people.
Qin Xiang tilted his head and pressed his sore cervical vertebrae.
"Alas......" She is obviously just going to do catering, why did she suddenly cross the border to make clothes?
Come to think of it, it's probably just because she likes beautiful clothes, and the dresses on the market can no longer meet her needs.
It's like she started from a food stall, but in fact, she runs a food stall, and there are ways to do it, just because she likes fried chicken.
"Madame, rest first, and finish the lotus seed soup. This year's lotus seeds are wonderful, sweet but not bland. ”
Qin Xiang held the spoon and the luscious lotus seed soup in his mouth, and suddenly thought of something: "Xiaoyu hasn't come back yet?" ”
Since Xiaoyu went out independently, he did not live in Hanfu, but moved outside. I heard that they are in the same courtyard as Zhao Ying and Lin Qingmiao, and they can be regarded as taking care of each other.
This is Xiaoyu's first month as the big treasurer, and it stands to reason that he is going to report on the progress. Qin Xiang was busy, so he forgot about it. Now that I think about it, I realize that it is almost noon, and the light rain has not come back yet.
"Slave go and ask." Pepe asked the porter, who said he had never seen anyone coming. "Send someone to the shop and inquire."
Hanfu is still some distance away from Mao'er Street, so I went for a while.
Qin Xiang had finished eating a bowl of lotus seed soup and began to eat horseshoe cake.
That's when the man came back, sweaty and a little pale.
When he saw Qin Xiang, he said: "The little one went to inquire, and the shopkeeper Tian set off early, saying that he was going to pick up a batch of goods outside the city and come back to see his wife." But the people in the caravan said that they had never seen the shopkeeper Tian, and the people in the shop also said that she had never come back after she went out. ”
Qin Xiang's face changed as soon as he heard this, "She's not a three-year-old child anymore, can such a big person still be lost!" Hurry up and find it! ”
