Chapter 137: Going to Hangzhou Mansion (2)

In March, from north to south, it is getting warmer and warmer, the more flowers bloom, and the greener the willows are.

When it's sunny, Wu Yi'an will ride a horse, and when it rains, he will ride in a carriage with Diancui.

If it is said that Gui Bonian always wears a spotless white robe, Gui Zhongqing sometimes wears a red robe, Yuan Zhiheng is always an ordinary green shirt, and occasionally wears a silk green bag. Wu Yi'an, on the other hand, likes to wear purple clothes.

I have to say that a purple dress is extremely compatible with him, which not only neutralizes his too handsome and even somewhat feminine side, but also adds a sense of luxury, and the whole body is pampered and noble, which people dare not despise.

is obviously the son of an imperial businessman, and there is still a little bit of the feeling of a young master of an official eunuch family, and it is also surprising to see it.

In fact, this is because she doesn't know Wu Yi'an, Wu Yi'an is a real businessman, his mind is changeable, and his temperament is naturally changeable.

As for once he got into the carriage and was with his cousin Diancui, he was a different look.

"A thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl like my cousin probably wants to go to a beautiful place like Hangzhou Mansion to have a look, but cousin must not forget that we are going to solve the big/troublesome problems in Angelica Pavilion." Wu Yi'an smiled: "But cousin don't worry, you just have to play, trouble cousin to solve it." ”

"Thank you, cousin." Dian Cui also smiled politely.

Sure enough, what can she do as a little girl, so she will go in the name of a homebound master to reassure the other side. Since his aunt had entrusted this matter to himself, as long as this cousin was honest and did not make any trouble, he would have a chance to settle the matter over there.

It's just a long journey, tease this little cousin who has a good temper, make her cry, and then coax her, tell her to be honest and obedient, and go to Hangzhou not to cause trouble for herself.

"I remember the last time I saw my cousin, you were still a little girl pouring wine. But then, I felt close to you, and sure enough, you soon became a homecoming lady. ”

"It's not done, I am."

These days, Diancui has generally understood this cousin's temperament.

In short, not a likable character.

"That's also your ability, if you don't have any scheming, let alone being able to turn over so quickly, you may have been killed by Nagui Chuyu a long time ago." When Wu Yi'an said this, he actually really meant to praise.

"Gui Chuyu, this girl, I have always looked not very smart, and sure enough, ......" Wu Yi'an Shun picked up a notebook, looked at it twice, and saw that Diancui was not curious, and threw down the notebook again, and said:

"It's really not very smart, you said that she was doing a good job as her eldest lady, and she had to pick you up if she didn't do anything, she knew in her heart that you were the real homecoming lady, and she also picked you up, really...... Foolish! ”

If she weren't stupid, this person in front of her wouldn't have become his cousin.

Diancui read the book well, but he repeatedly interrupted, sighed, and simply lifted the curtain of the car, and wanted to go out for horseback riding.

"Hey, it's raining outside, come back quickly." Wu Yi'an hurriedly pulled her back.

"Cousin, did anyone say that you are very noisy, can you read quietly?" Diancui sighed.

Wu Yi'an sighed, pointed to the thick stack, and said disdainfully: "What kind of book is this, it's nothing more than some boring books, deceiving you like a deep girl, do you believe it?" ”

Diancui looked at him funny, boudoir girl? She is not a deep boudoir girl, this cousin is afraid that there is some misunderstanding of the deep boudoir girl.

"Hey, I heard that you once worshipped that Yuan Gongzi in your mansion as a teacher, but do you know that he had a marriage contract with you? Without knowing it, I met him and worshipped him as a teacher, so this fate is really wonderful. But it's a pity that since it's for the sake of master and apprentice, this marriage contract can't be true even if it is not dissolved......"

"Hey, although Yuan Gongzi looks quite annoying, he has to admit that he still has a little talent......"

"Smack!" Diancui was completely annoyed by him and couldn't read the book, so he put down the notebook, closed his eyes casually and stopped paying attention to him.

"That's it, the beautiful scenery outside, what kind of boring words to read," Wu Yi'an smiled and said, "It's raining outside, stop!" Let's go down and take a walk. ”

Now I have traveled more than half of the distance, and I am about to arrive at the south of the Yangtze River, where the north and south meet, even the suburbs of the city and county, it is very lively.

Diancui jumped out of the carriage and walked to a place of peach and willow green, looking faintly into the distance.

Wu Yi'an instructed the little servant to take out the rain cloth from the back of the carriage.

spread on the ground, took out the pot stove cutting board, carried a bag of raw rice, and even a piece of bacon, a bag of dried mushrooms, and a bag of shredded bamboo shoots......

Diancui turned his head, looked at Wu Yi'an's hands and feet with great interest, started the stove, cut the bacon with the dagger in his hand, took the rice taken out by the little guy, put it in the pot, put it on the bacon slices, dried mushrooms, and bamboo shoots, and steamed them on the stove.

After a while, the fragrance of rice mixed with the peculiar aroma of bacon and the fresh fragrance of mushroom shoots drifted far away at once, provoking those resting foot merchants and sons and brothers who were going out to play and drink and chat.

Wu Yi'an went to the clean dishes and chopsticks, filled a bowl, handed it to Diancui first, Diancui was not polite, took it and found a clean stone platform to sit and eat.

Looking at the fragrance of her food, and not caring about the eyes of others, Wu Yi'an's eyes lit up, the corners of her mouth were slightly curled, and she also ate with relish. The rest was divided among the little maids.

"Don't look at the young master's unforgiving mouth, but he is a top person who can take care of people," Xin'er was full of food and drink, and secretly talked to Dongxue: "There is no need for others to worry about this journey, whether it is staying in the top of the house or cooking outside, it is all arranged properly, and the young lady is not asked to interfere at all." ”

In this way, he is not bad.

"No matter how good he is, it's also our young lady's good temperament, he is ruthless in his words along the way, and some of the words are like thorns on our young lady, but our young lady can still endure him, and he is also a very person." To say that Dongxue used to be a notoriously stolen gourd, who didn't expect that Miss would be more tolerant than her.

Unexpectedly, Xin'er shook her head with a smile and said, "Sister Dongxue, you still don't know our young lady, our young lady is not enduring, she just doesn't know what kind of person Young Master Cousin is for a while, and she doesn't know how to deal with him, as the saying goes, you have to hit seven inches to fight a snake!" ”

Here, Du Xiaozhu and Li Qingshan were also full of food and drink, so they took the initiative to pick up the utensils and go to the riverside to wash.

Diancui still looked at the distance lightly, and Wu Yi'an didn't bother her, just reclining on the rain cloth on her side, basking in the sun and pretending to sleep.

"This young lady is polite, she is a peddler in Xia, and she wanted to do a small business, but she didn't expect that the luck was bad, and the silver on her body was stolen clean. I don't even have the money for a bowl of tea, and I'm really thirsty right now, can the young lady borrow a sip of hot water to drink? ”

Wu Yi'an raised his head when he heard the voice, but saw that it was a dark and thin peddler begging for water from his cousin.

When is it, I still have to drink hot water, there is a big river in front, if you are really thirsty, why not drink the river water, Wu Yi sneered twice in peace of mind, and couldn't help but look at this peddler again, although this person looked embarrassed, his clothes were clean, and he was not polite when he spoke.

But he saw Diancui hand over the cowhide water bag in his hand, and the vendor took it with grateful hands, lifted the water bag, hung it slightly above his lips, and drank it happily.

After drinking and returning it with both hands, he sang a deep promise, and was about to get up to say goodbye, but he heard Diancui suddenly ask:

"What does this gentleman do for a living?"

When the man saw someone asking, he didn't hide it, and replied: "The contemptible surname is Li, he is a person from Taihu Lake, just because his hometown has a lot of silk production this year, so he started a business of selling raw silk," he said, pointing to a huge burden on his back, and said: "This is the silk produced in our hometown, I heard that the price of raw silk in Yangzhou is high, so I went all the way to the north, looking for some buyers, but unfortunately they listened to my ideas, and they were not willing to do business with me, just because the amount of silk in my hands was too small......

Dian Cui took out some silk from his baggage, looked at it and said: "It's really good silk, they think you have too little silk in your hand, since this silk is so good, why don't you stock up more?" ”

The man smiled bitterly: "This is the first time I have done silk business, and my family has no extra money to buy a large amount of silk, I want to borrow some silver money in my heart, but unfortunately those relatives in the family have hid away when they hear about borrowing money." So I had to do some small deals, who would have ...... Ay! ”

"If your money had not been stolen, what would you have prepared?" Dian Cui saw that this person didn't look like a person who gave up easily, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

The peddler didn't expect that this young lady's curiosity was quite great, but people had the grace of borrowing water, and because the money was lost anyway, he said:

"If the money is not lost, I want to take these raw silk to Huzhou, where the dyeing and weaving skills are the purest and cheapest, and after the weaving and dyeing are done, I will take the cloth to the north and sell it."

When Dian Cui heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said that you make raw silk into cloth and then sell it, although it has been a little bit back and forth, but the price has increased more than ten times this time.

The peddler didn't expect that he only said a little, and the young lady could immediately understand the joints, and immediately gave a thumbs up, and said with a smile, Miss Mingjian.

Diancui smiled slightly, and invited Dong Xue to whisper a few words in her ear, Dong Xue seemed to be taken aback, and glanced at the black and thin strange vendor, but also glanced back at the place where she avoided people and took fifty taels of silver.

"Miss, you're just ......" The peddler's eyes widened in disbelief as he took the fifty taels of silver given by Dian Cui, not knowing what to say.

"Your business, I look at the top of the top is good, this money is considered to be my entry, you take it and go back to your hometown to sell some raw silk, or according to what you said before, don't sell raw silk, send it all to Huzhou to weave and dye cloth, and then take it to the northern city and county to sell." Dian Cui smiled: "You don't have to worry, what you earn this year will also be used as the capital in the future." If any diary picks me up, I will go to the Angelica Pavilion Noodle Shop in Hangzhou, which is my shop. My surname is Gui, and I am the young lady of that family, do you remember? ”

The peddler listened to what she said in a daze, and then reacted, this young lady actually said that she wanted to join the gang, and she was just a fledgling peddler, so she was not afraid that the silver would be lost?

The peddler was still stunned, and Diancui had already gotten into the carriage and left slowly.
