This trading house is called Mingyue Building, and judging from the fabrics placed at the door, it should be pouring fabrics back and forth between the north and the south.

Zitong looked inside and saw a steward with two guys in the inventory and accounting, she naturally had never seen those people.

The guard shook her head and turned around and went to the front.

The group continued to move forward, and slowly walked away.

At this time, Xu Gong walked down briskly from the second floor, explained to the steward, and drove the carriage directly from the other side.

The He family didn't expect to find this place so quickly, just now the group passed downstairs, and Xu Gong could see it clearly upstairs.

He had seen the portrait of the big girl named Zitong, and he recognized it at a glance.

In the small courtyard in the south of the city, Du Juan had already packed her bags and was ready to leave the city tomorrow to go to Hekou Town.

"Mother, I have already put away the food and vegetables sent by Brother Wang next door, you alone are estimated to be able to eat for three or four days, and it will be almost the same, just come to us directly." Don't go out these days, if you want to buy a few dollars, ask Brother Wang for help......"

Du Juan explained carefully, she will leave tomorrow, and she is still a little worried about leaving her godmother here alone.

Mother Du was squatting in front of the brazier to burn the embroidery used for trial these days, and replied: "I know, there are still shopkeepers outside on the left and right, don't worry." ”

The mother and daughter spoke again, when suddenly there was a sharp knock at the courtyard door.

As soon as this sound was heard, Du's mother threw all the remaining things in the basket into the brazier, asked Du Juan to go back to the house, and walked quickly to the gate of the courtyard.

"Who?"

"Someone's coming, pack your things now, I'll wait for you at the back door."

It was the voice of the shopkeeper Xu, Du's mother was shocked, turned around and went back to the room.

After Xu Gong confessed, he retreated, turned from another alley to the street, and then waited at the mouth of a small alley.

When I bought this yard, all aspects were considered, the front door alley is deep, and the back door road is narrow and you can't get into the car, but you can go to the street when you turn out, and you can only half a pillar of incense from the city gate.

Shopkeeper Xu waited outside for a while, and Du's mother and Du Juan came out of the alley, and the two didn't say a word, opened the curtain and got into the car directly.

Shopkeeper Xu didn't ask anything, and the carriage drove quickly towards the south city gate.

At this time, He Wenyun's group was stopped by the people sent by He Siye at the entrance of the long street in Nancheng.

The man brought news that the He family had sent money to the government, so that the second son would not have to be so blind, find someone to paint a portrait, and then search from house to house.

Searching from house to house feels like catching a fugitive.

Sure enough, these small places can do things as long as they have money.

He Wenyun hooked the corners of his mouth, remembering what the fourth uncle told him not to worry, he agreed a little in his heart.

The group turned around and went back to Hefu, and even the painter in the house was found.

In about a quarter of an hour, the portraits of Du's mother and Du Juan came out.

The second master of the He family took it and went to the government in person, and He Wenyun was not idle, and took a team of people to the city gate to squat.

When Song Ercai drove the car and was about to return to the town, he saw the distinguished guests of the owner standing outside the city gate, and the guards around him were holding two portraits in their hands and kept scanning the flow of people, saying that they were arresting criminals.

Song Ercai glanced at it and saw that it was a young girl and a middle-aged woman.

Naturally, he had never seen the person in the portrait, but he was a little curious.

The carriage quickly drove out of the city gate to the side of Hekou Town, and at this time, in a small village a few miles away, Shopkeeper Xu knocked on the door of his courtyard.

"Master, why are you back?"

Lin was a little surprised to see her husband return at this time.

Xu Gong whispered a few words in her ear.

Lin was shocked, and hurriedly asked his son and daughter-in-law to come out and unload the threshold, and let the carriage drive directly into the courtyard.

Du's mother took Du Juan out of the car, and the shopkeeper Xu said a few words, and she was about to leave.

At this time, Lin grabbed her husband's arm and said, "Will you be okay?" ”

"Don't worry, those people don't know me at all."

Lin thinks about it, her husband was just an unknown little housekeeper in the Zhuo family before, and the Zhuo family was dismissed by the owner behind him, and it was difficult for the family to have an accident at that time, if it wasn't for the young lady who inexplicably asked Du's mother to send a sum of silver, her son would have been disabled.

*****

In the evening, when Song Ercai returned to the town, the meal was over.

Chang brought out the food that was warm in the pot and asked her husband to fill his stomach first.

Song Ercai bit the cake and said to Chang's: "You let Ah Xiu come over, I have something to tell her." ”

Chang answered, and after going out for a while, Ah Xiu entered the hall with a smile.

"Dad, are you looking for me?"

Song Ercai nodded: "I have already paid back the silver owed by Yuanming Building, and the materials and fan noodles brought back this time were given by Master Cao, and the silver has not been paid, and it will be counted when the next delivery is made." ”

Song Ercai told him about his entry into the city this time, and then took out the deed he signed with Wanxing Silk Village, as well as the one hundred taels of silver.

"Dad signed this deed without consulting you, don't blame you. I think that Mr. Cao is a good person, and his heart is also sincere, and this area of Pingyang County is also the largest in his family's business, and it is also a good candidate to cooperate. ”

"Dad, you have a lot of knowledge outside, since you think this deed can be signed, you will make it."

Ah Xiu opened the contract and looked at it, and nodded secretly, that Master Cao was very real, and he didn't add any harsh conditions to it, and he knew that they would not hand over the embroidery workshop, so he didn't have the idea of this aspect.

Taking advantage of the gap between Ah Xiu and reading the deed, Song Ercai also mentioned the matter of one hundred taels of silver.

Although the money was not written, it was also borrowed, and Song Ercai didn't think about taking it for nothing, but he didn't need to pay it back in a hurry, and he would think about it when the embroidery workshop developed.

Ah Xiu nodded, and the two talked about how to spend the hundred taels of silver, as well as the development of the embroidery workshop.

Now that there is silver, it is natural to recruit people, Ah Xiu thought of Du's mother and Du Juan, if they come over now, it will be just the right time.

"Ah Xiu, have you ever thought about moving the embroidery workshop into the city?"

How to use this hundred taels of silver Song Ercai has already thought about it, the embroidery workshop wants to recruit people and develop, and it is of course the best to take materials and delivery to facilitate entering the city in the future.

Ah Xiu disagreed, shook his head and said, "Dad, I want to open a mulberry garden and raise silkworms." ”

"Silkworm farming?"

Song Ercai was puzzled, Ah Xiu looked out of the door defensively, saw Chang Shi guarding outside, nodded and said: "I heard someone say before that there is a small silkworm seed in Linshan County, and the silk spit out is thinner than ordinary silkworm chrysalis. In addition to the embroidery workshop, there is actually a cloth workshop in my Jiangnan family, but the scale is not large, and only one kind of yarn clothes are produced, the number is very small, and the stitching method of the family, those clothes are hard to find outside, and they are worth a lot of money. ”

Zhuojia embroidery is not rare in rich places, but special feather clothes are hard to find.

It's not that they don't want to make more, but silk is rare, and only a very small amount of filament can be used in ordinary silkworm pupa, and raw materials are in short supply.

But in that dream, the He family found new silkworm seeds, so that the mulberry garden was built, and the medical hall that had been used for several generations was abandoned.
