The Fang family is the surname of the family that A Xiu told Song Ercai and Chang.

Now that the Fang family is ruined, the business has long been gone.

But the connections on the side of the firm can be used, and it doesn't matter.

Ah Xiu handed over the note, and Song Ercai glanced at the line of small words, surprised in his heart.

"Have you read a book?"

The hairpin on the note is written steadily, although there is no wind and no grace, but it is already very good for an eight or nine-year-old girl.

Ah Xiu nodded: "At the beginning, I followed my mother to take care of the embroidery room, and it was inevitable to be literate and bookkeeping. ”

When she was a rich lady, Ah Xiu was enlightened by a female gentleman at the age of five. Although she has only studied for two years, she seems to have experienced a short life in that long dream, not only her literacy ability, her stitching and embroidery skills, but also the memories of what she saw and heard in her mind, all of which were deeply rooted in her mind, and the whole person was different.

It's time to go to the town to do business, and it is necessary for someone in the shop to be literate, although Chang also knows a few words, but she has never touched a pen, and bookkeeping and the like are not good at all.

At this time, Ah Xiu needed to show his literacy ability.

Song Ercai took the note and smiled, and breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart.

The little girl expanded his cognition step by step, how ignorant the original Mrs. Fang was, so she sold her like a maid.

"I'll put the note away first, and then at the end of the month, you can also pack up your things and get ready to go to town."

"Erlang, where is Brother Tian?"

Chang frowned and asked, they are all gone, what should my son do.

"Tim Er will come with us, too. If the comptoir can take credit, there will be money left to send him to the school in the town. ”

When Chang heard this, he immediately smiled.

If the business in the town is doing well, they will not be able to come back after that, and they will not have to embroider flowers at home and sneak around.

"By the way, Dad, the big cloth village you said last time that we received embroidery was called Wanxing Silk Village?"

"Yes. It was the largest silk forging shop in the county, and the last time I passed, the shopkeeper also asked if it could be supplied for a long time, and he added an extra 500 dollars to the four handkerchiefs and three purses last time. ”

When Song Ercai first sold embroidery, he had his own considerations, if the largest silk village in the county could see the embroidery he brought over, and he could also offer a good price, then whether it was a shop or an embroidery workshop, he would not lose money.

"Dad, is the owner of Wanxing Silk Village surnamed Cao?"

Song Ercai was stunned for a moment and replied: "In the past two times, I have only contacted a shopkeeper surnamed Liu, and I have never met the owner. ”

Ah Xiu lowered his head and was silent, Pingyang's largest cloth village, Wanxing, should be the one.

Thinking of some things in the dream, Ah Xiu said: "If he wants us to supply for a long time, it's not impossible to ......."

"I think that at present, we have limited conditions, and in the future, the things produced by the embroidery workshop will definitely need partners and sales channels, but the premise is that they have the ability to export things."

This place can open an embroidery workshop, you can build a mulberry garden to raise silkworms and weave cloth, but it is not the main sales field.

Ah Xiu has her own considerations, and when Song Tian walks out of this town, she will also leave with her business.

"Export! Do you have an idea? ”

Song Ercai sat in the seat that Chang gave him, staring at the little girl curiously.

He is really curious now, if Ah Xiu has been doing things with his mother since he was a child, and knows about opening a shop and getting goods, he can still understand it, but those things outside, she can understand them without even going out of the county, and she has a business direction?

Song Ercai frowned, unexpectedly.

"I don't have any ideas. I just thought that the Jiangnan family was selling embroidery to all over the rich places and the capital, so I had this idea. ”

Ah Xiu had already seen that Song Ercai was suspicious of herself, and the plans she wanted to export swallowed back.

It's that she's acting too impatient, but it's just the beginning.

Song Ercai nodded, the little girl had a big heart, and she wanted to grab business with Jiangnan's own family before she started.

But when it comes to the embroidery workshop, he thinks of something.

"By the way, I heard someone mention it before, saying that the He family's Jiangnan main clan also received dozens of embroidery workshops, I don't know whose embroidery workshop, it is said that there is a shortage of people in their hands now, and a few big stewards have been transferred from the Fucheng side. Ah Xiu, do you think something happened to your own clan? ”

It's the embroidery workshop and the Jiangnan again, Song Ercai always feels that it has something to do with the head of the embroidery family, but there is too little information, and he doesn't even know whose embroidery workshop it is.

As soon as he heard the He family, Ah Xiu's hand under the table unconsciously tightened.

She pulled the corners of her mouth with difficulty and smiled: "I heard that there are many embroidery workshops in the south of the Yangtze River, and there is no certainty who owns them." ”

"Again, don't mention that. When you finish what you have in hand, Siniang will take it to the town. ”

Ah Xiu nodded, and seeing that Chang was about to go out to fetch water, he said in a suppressed voice: "Dad, there is one more thing to pay attention to." ”

"Huh?"

"If someone asks where these stitches come from, don't mention the ancestral heirlooms, and don't say anything about me, just say that the embroidery girl who returned to her hometown from other places wants to earn a few dollars to spend."

The little girl in front of her said very solemnly, and Song Er responded: "Understood." ”

Sending Ah Xiu away, Chang sighed and said to her husband: "I see that she is still complaining about her family." ”

Not to mention the death of her mother, she was sold by the housemother, in other words, she definitely doesn't want to have anything to do with her family.

Chang said, with another burst of pity in his heart.

Song Ercai sat there with his head bored and didn't answer, he felt that Ah Xiu's last advice was not so simple, but where was the not simple, he couldn't figure it out.

Next door, Ah Xiu went back to put down the embroidery basket, and was about to go out to fetch water, when Song Tian pulled him.

"You sit down."

Song Tian said and had already pulled the door and went out.

Ah Xiu was a little stunned, and only then did he realize that he was going to the stove room to fetch water.

Sure enough, Song Tian didn't wait long before he returned, holding a large basin of hot water in his hand.

"Why did you remember to serve me today?"

Ah Xiu took the wooden basin and put it away, laughing and teasing him.

"What do you mean by waiting, seeing that you are busy like that all day long, it's just a favor."

Song Tian doesn't like the word "waiting" the most, he is not a young master, and she is not a maid, what are you serving.

Ah Xiu smiled, didn't bother with him, thought of the things he just talked about, and opened his mouth to talk about it.

"Brother Tian, if nothing else, you will be able to go to the town to study next month."

After working hard for so long, Song Tian looked at her and suddenly remembered what she had said to herself, "I will send you to the town to study." ”

He didn't take it seriously at the time, but he didn't expect it to happen three months later.

At the end of the month, Chang took the finished embroidery to the town.

Song Er was about to enter the city to pay an account to the owner, so he just took a trip.

It's still that Wanxing Silk Village, but this time Song Er was invited to the second floor.

"Shopkeeper Song, you sit down for a while, our host will come over soon."

The young man gave Song Ercai a good hair, bowed down and retreated.

Song Ercai waited in the private seat for about a quarter of an hour, and the sound of a carriage came downstairs, and after a while, the bearded old man in the blue robe and brocade came up with the shopkeeper Liu.
