"Father-in-law, I have traveled a lot of places along the way, and found that for ordinary people, even if we have sold the silk at cost price, they still feel that they can't accept it, but for some wealthy people, their first choice for choosing silk is the quality, color, and even whether there is anything surprising, and then they pay attention to how much silver this thing sells. Generally speaking, as long as the color is good, the color is new, and the appearance is strange, they would rather spend more silver. In order to pursue different things, some people deliberately spend a lot of money to find those skilled craftsmen. In the past, we may have worked the quality and color of the silk, but in the future, I think that our cloth shop should also use more brains on this strange, so that we can not only sell well, but also make more money. Speaking of which, Ran An has a little bit of pride, and Ran Linzong completely sees it in his eyes and is happy in his heart.

"Ran An, you have been gone for more than half a year, but a lot of changes have taken place in the capital, among which we have the greatest impact on Ningfeng Buxing, or the one that touches us the most, do you know what it is?" Ran Linzong took a sip of tea and asked.

"We? Father-in-law, who in the capital can pose a threat to our Ning Feng Cloth Company? That doesn't exist. Ran An refused.

"Huh? How did you learn to be arrogant? Don't forget, our Ningfeng cloth shop also started from a small silk village. Ran Linzong put down the teacup and said.

"Silk Village? Could it be the silk village opened by the newly opened son of the Lan family mentioned by his father-in-law in the letter? How? Is he developing well? Ran An suddenly thought that his father and himself had passed the letter, and the father-in-law mentioned that Lan Hongda's son had opened a silk village in the capital, and in order to open a business, he would send free cloth to customers. Now that his father-in-law asked, his mind suddenly remembered.

Ran Linzong looked at him and nodded, "Yes, it's that Xinglong Silk Village." ”

"What? Didn't my stepfather say that his scale was not very large? It doesn't make my father-in-law so nervous, right? Ran An said curiously.

"The scale is not very large now, and it is impossible to talk about nervousness, but you just talked about novelty, which also reminded me, after all, you are both young people, and ideas can easily collide together. That Lan Yi is similar to what you think......"

"What? What's new about him? Ran An said.

"Like you said, for many rich people, they don't care about how much silver this thing sells, they only care about whether this thing is good or not, whether it is new or not, whether it is strange or not...... Although we have such a signboard now, many wives and ladies from large families come to us just to show their identity, but are our things really liked by them? Especially the ladies? It's hard to say. This Lan Yi is making a pattern on this satin. Ran Linzong thought for a moment, and couldn't help but sigh.

"What the hell is it? Father-in-law, don't let me be anxious. Ran An said anxiously.

"That Lan Yi found the ...... of the now famous shopkeeper in the capital."

"Don't look back?" For Ran An, this is indeed a new thing, Ran Linzong has never mentioned it, seeing Ran An ask, Ran Linzong said, "It's a fat powder shop, the legendary story about it, I'll tell you a good story when I have time." ”

"A fat powder shop? What is the connection with a silk village? What other tricks can be studied? Ran An said.

"It's this fat powder shop and a silk shop, and they really work on a new gadget together. They added the spice to the satin, adding different spices according to the season and their preference. There was a period of time, and it was a hot one in the capital! A lot of people were lining up to go to his shop. It's a pity, but because of the continuous rain for a few days, maybe the spices were not processed well, and the musty smell was emitted, and the heat was slightly reduced. However, I later heard that they had researched something new, and now the scented silk is still in good demand! Ran Linzong stroked his beard with concern, his gaze looked into the distance through the carved window lattice, for such a junior, I don't know if it was his luck or his misfortune.

"This is indeed a good idea, it seems that we really can't underestimate this person named Lan Yi." Ran An also nodded in agreement.

"If you don't say you're all young people, your brains are just alive, and you come up with ideas that we can't even think of! That's exactly what I meant when I asked you to go out for a walk, I'm old now, and the future of this Ning Feng definitely depends on you. We can't just sell anything satin as always, we should also have our sign. Ningfeng is our signboard, and we want to let this signboard continue to be inherited and even carried forward in our hands, and in the future, it will be handed over to you decently. Ran Linzong's expression was very calm.

In fact, in Ran Mansion, Ran Linzong is almost a person who doesn't like to lose his temper very much, but there is no one in the whole mansion who is not afraid of him, but as long as Ran Linzong frowns slightly, the people in the mansion will feel that the world is spinning. No matter how arrogant Du Yuexian is, she is only an outsider, and when she meets Ran Linzong, her scalp is also numb. Even if Ran Linzong didn't lose her temper, she felt her heart beating.

"Father-in-law, what you said is serious, I just tried my best to carry it forward, and I never had any thoughts of wrongdoing! In the future, if the little master is willing to continue to use me, I will definitely continue to work for the little master, if the little master dislikes me, I will definitely retreat without taking away a stitch from Ning Feng! Ran An seemed to be frightened, he suddenly got up from the chair, his expression was very focused, Ran Linzong couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart when he saw it, he valued this child because of his benevolence and filial piety, for so many years, he has always stayed true to his original intention as when he first met.

"What disgust? What kind of work does it take? What is the total escape? Don't forget that you are also a member of the Ran family, I gave you the surname Ran, not to ask you to just be a spectator, I want you to really see yourself as a member of the Ran family! In the future, if you say such a discouraged word, you will not let me hear it again! Ran Linzong looked nervous.

"The lesson of the father-in-law is that the child knows that he is wrong, and he will never do it again." Jean Vino nodded.

Ran Linzong looked at Ran An, and he felt sorry for this child from the bottom of his heart. Although he has been in the mansion for nearly ten years, and the people in the mansion have also given Ran An the respect he deserves, Ran Linzong knows that in Ran An's heart, there has never been a day when he can really be down-to-earth. He knows his identity too well, he understands his status even more, and he also knows what kind of role he is in Ran Mansion. Therefore, he tries his best to be diligent and conscientious, and never thinks about it. But for Ran Linzong, Ran An not only represents himself, but also does not represent his acceptance and kindness to this child, but also represents his loving father's heart that has nowhere to place.

The conversation between father and son lasted from noon to evening, and it was not until Fuzi came in to take charge of the lamp that the father and son suddenly woke up, it turned out that they had been talking for so long.

"Father-in-law, this world is too long, you should also rest, I will report to my father-in-law tomorrow." Ran An got up, and half of his buttocks were a little numb from sitting for a long time.

"Huh? How can this kind of thing be tomorrow's turn, I haven't talked to you yet! Fuzi, tell the kitchen to bring the food to the kitchen, I'm going to eat here with the young master today. Ran Linzong waved his hand.

"This ......" Fuzi looked at Ran An with some embarrassment.

"Father-in-law, it's been too long now, I'm afraid ......" Ran An was also a little worried that Ran Linzong was too tired.

"Your stepfather is not old enough to do what I say!" Of course, Ran Linzong didn't give them any chance to refute, he had been depressed in the mansion for so long, and finally when Ran An came back, he could also vomit as soon as possible.

"This ...... Just listen to the master, and bring another cushion by the way. Ran An commanded, and Fuzi happily retreated, but when he was leaving, he quietly told Ran An that Madame seemed to have something to look for him, and he had already ordered. Ran An looked at Ran Linzong again, and Fuzi nodded silently.

I thought that Ran Linzong wouldn't be able to hear the conversation between them, but his voice had already sounded, "What can she do?" Ran An was tired enough to run all the way, tell her, tell her to rest early, Ran An will not pass tonight. ”

With Ran Linzong's golden signboard, Fuzi undoubtedly got a Shang Fang sword, and he responded and retreated to do his own business.

Ran An carefully flicked the wick of the oil lamp twice, and the study suddenly became brighter, "Father-in-law, I still want to go out when I have time." ”

"What? Isn't this more than half a year out enough? Ran Linzong asked.

"No, don't go that far, just walk around the capital. I went out this time and found a place where their mulberry trees grew very well, and according to the old farmer there, the silkworm ate the mulberry leaves and grew very fat, not only that, but occasionally spit out some colored silk. I begged for some tree seeds, thinking that if it was really as the old farmer said, it would definitely be good for us to cloth. Ran An said.

"Oh? And such a thing? Ran Linzong was also surprised.

"That's what the old farmer said, and I've only heard about it. It is said that it is not easy to spit out colorful silk from silkworms, so I just want to try it. ”

"If this happens, it's a good thing." Ran Linzong pondered.

"Yes, the father-in-law agreed, and I will proceed with this matter." The meal was delivered, Ran An waited for Ran Linzong, and the two chatted while eating.

The light in the study was not extinguished until dawn the next day......
