Yu Yuan's silver is indeed not in vain, and when Dr. Nacha came over with a good music list, he was more than a little enthusiastic about them: "It's already arranged." After this fold is sung, it is up to you to order. After speaking, he also brought a plate of fresh fruit from the outside and said: "This is a small filial piety to you, you eat slowly and use it slowly, I will stand outside the door, if there is anything, you shout directly." ”

It should be that this tea doctor has a reward.

Yu Tang guessed, more sure of what he was going to do.

She picked the biggest plum and asked Shuangtao to hand it to Dr. Tea, and said with a smile: "Don't leave yet, I'll ask you something." ”

Dr. Tea immediately walked over, stopped seven or eight steps away from her in a regular manner, lowered his head and said respectfully, "What do you want to ask?" As long as I know, I will answer whatever you ask. If I don't know, I'll ask you. "Very alert.

This may be the reason why this teahouse has become one of the largest teahouses in Bencheng.

Yu Tang pondered in his heart, and asked him with a smile: "When I came, I saw a lot of big boats on the Suzhou River, and I heard that these boats are all from Ningbo, and they are loaded with some foreign goods, so do you know where to sell foreign goods?" ”

Dr. Tea perked up when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Miss asked me these questions to be considered the right person, there is no shop in Suzhou City that I don't know." When you came, you saw the street in front of our teahouse, right? It is called Suhe Street, and there are the most teahouses, restaurants and restaurants on this street. You go out of our teahouse and turn left, there is an alley, and in this alley, it is all selling dim sum and fruits. You just keep going, and when you're done down this alley, it's another street, and there's a street where all the goods are sold......"

He talked eloquently, and it could be seen that he was really familiar with Suzhou City.

Yu Tang also followed a sentence by sentence, and soon knew where those who did business at sea liked to stay, how the fleet went to sea, and how the news was released.

Xiang listened beside him and couldn't help but nod secretly.

Yu Yuan praised Yu Tang for being smart and capable before, but she didn't think so, after all, with her experience, she had seen too many capable women, such as Mrs. Wei, such as her stepmother, and those in-laws of her stepmother's mother's family, who might be like Yu Tang, which is really rare.

Yu Tang is now not just able to manage a grange and read accounts or something, but like a man, he knows how to deal with people outside, and how to quietly ask what he wants.

Not to mention the Xiang family, even Xia Pinggui and Xia Lian were also very surprised.

Xia Pinggui thought, no wonder the second master of the owner wants to recruit the eldest lady, the eldest lady is a person who can keep the family business. As for Xia Lian, she is glad that the Xiang family has such a sister-in-law, and in the future, this sister-in-law will not only not drag the Xiang family back, but also give the Xiang family ideas when something happens, and help the Xiang family.

The two of them became more respectful to Yu Tang after that, of course, this is a later story.

Yu Tang got the news he needed, rewarded Dr. Nacha with a handful of copper coins, and waited until Dr. Nacha went out, then said to Yu Yuan with a wry smile: "It seems that we went to the wrong place." ”

From the mouth of Dr. Nacha, those who do maritime business or run ships to Ningbo to pull goods like to rest in another wine shop called Ping'an on the dock, and they usually exchange news there.

Yu Yuan's heart was wide and said with a smile: "If we don't come to this teahouse, we won't be able to inquire about this news." Besides, what kind of safe wine shop, when I hear that it is a place where those coolies drink, I can't take you two women to eat at the wine shop, right? ”

The women who go in and out of that kind of place are mostly women who run the rivers and lakes or are women in green buildings, and others will not respect them when they see them.

Xiang nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "Your brother is right. Although we went to the wrong place, we were able to see something. When I go back, tell my mother-in-law and aunt about it, and if I have the chance, let them come and see it. ”

Yu Tang felt that their stay was too short, and he was afraid that he would not find a chance to talk to Jiang Ling.

However, I can't eat hot rice balls in a hurry, so I have to do everything step by step, since I came to listen to the music, then listen to the music.

Yu Tang, Xiang and Yu Yuan spent a morning in the teahouse, and they inquired about the news of the Song family from Dr. Tea.

It turned out that the Song family returned to Suzhou City and began to build ships in Taihu Lake, and the Song family sold the two mulberry forests in Huzhou for this reason.

The Song family started with silk in the early years, and this is the time to plant mulberry and raise silkworms.

Yu Yuan was stunned and asked Dr. Cha: "Then, the older generation of their family also agrees?" ”

Dr. Tea sighed, "What can you do if you don't agree?" I see that you have come from a foreign country to speak to you. The Song family is no longer the Song family of the past. Last year, the white silk that their family offered to the inner court was almost not selected, and they barely passed the test by following the path of a relative of their family. You don't know, the business of the inner court is not so easy to do, and they have to be re-elected every three years, and this time they found the right person, and they got lucky. What about next time? Are people still willing to help? Can the helper still be able to speak? It's hard to say! ”

Looking for help from relatives?

Could it be the Pei family who are looking for?

Yu Tang pondered, and heard Dr. Nacha continue: "The people who were born in the Song family don't look for their own reasons, they only say that someone is embarrassing their family, and they are wholeheartedly ready to do the business for the past three years, and they will not do it, but will do the sea business instead. I see, if this Song family continues like this, I'm afraid it will be defeated! ”

I didn't expect this Dr. Tea to have such insight!

Yu Tang was in awe.

It seems that the Song family is indeed slowly declining like this.

Yu Yuan didn't know, he felt that this Dr. Tea was alarmist, and said, "How do you say this?" ”

Dr. Tea frowned and said, "We have a lot of inner court business in Suzhou City, but which one has made money?" It is not enough to honor the great eunuchs of the twenty-four yamen of the inner court, not to mention the yamen of Caoyun, the household department, and the Ministry of Industry. But being an imperial businessman has a reputation and style, everyone knows that you can deal with people in the palace, and ordinary people will give you a little face when you go out, can money buy it? And since your things can be tributed, it must be the best thing in the world, don't everyone have to come to your house to buy something? If you lose this business, isn't that just telling others that your family is no longer good, that there is no one in the inner court to support your family, that your family is outdated, and that this wall still needs to be pushed by everyone.

Even a tea doctor knows the truth, there is no reason why the Song family does not know.

So if the Song family can make such a choice, is there any hidden reason?

Could it be related to the changes in the Pei family?

However, before the Pei brothers became officials, the Song family had already started to do business in the inner court, so they should have their own way, right?

Yu Tang was puzzled, so he didn't think about it, and asked Dr. Tea tentatively: "I heard that there is a family surnamed Jiang in Suzhou City, who wants to do maritime business and attract people everywhere to buy shares, is this family reliable?" “

Dr. Tea pursed his mouth and said, "So you know it too!" Their family used to run a boat, that is, to run imported goods from Ningbo to Suzhou, and they may have made some money in the past few years, so they don't know how to make a big deal. We Suzhou people are waiting to see their jokes! ”

Yu Tang was at a loss.

In her previous life, she heard the Lin family say that as long as the Jiang family wants to go on a boat, everyone will participate in it if they break their heads.

It can be seen that this is another thing that has been exaggerated after success.

Wouldn't it be very simple for them to buy shares at this time.

Yu Tang's mind suddenly became active.

She asked Dr. Cha, "Do you know where the Jiang family lives?" ”

Dr. Tea glanced at Yu Tang quickly, but said to Yu Yuan: "Their family lives in Dongjiang Lane, which is not far from here, but this person is really unreliable, vulgar and stingy, some people who have dealt with him say that he is an 'iron rooster', if you really want to do business with their family, you have to keep your eyes open and be careful of being deceived by him." ”

Although Yu Yuan didn't know how Yu Tang knew about the Jiang family, at this time, he had to help Yu Tang speak no matter what. He smiled and said to Yu Tang, "We also heard about it on the road, and we were a little curious, so we asked." ”

Dr. Tea breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This Jiang family's reputation is not very good, you are always right to be careful." ”

Yu Yuan thanked him, and it happened that after they finished singing the commentary, Dr. Tea was going to bring the famous horn up to ask them for a reward, and the topic stopped there, and no one mentioned it again.

When he came out of the teahouse, Yu Yuan found a well-known restaurant for lunch, and Yu Tang decided to go to Jiang's house to have a look.

She told Yu Yuan: "I heard from the innkeeper yesterday. Besides, everything is 'hearing is false, seeing is believing', anyway, we are here to inquire about these things, no matter what others say, go and see first, nothing can be done at once. ”

Yu Yuan and Xiang both agreed, and Yu Yuan also said: "It's just that you are lucky, you are also staying in the hotel, and no one paid attention to these yesterday." ”

Yu Tang was embarrassed, and pulled Yu Yuan to change the topic with a weak heart: "Do we want to inquire about the Jiang family's stock raising again?" How much is a share? Is it only silver or can you buy shares in kind? When is their family going to sea? Who is invited for the ship's business? ”

"Yes, yes!" Yu Yuan said busily.

Xiang Shi covered his mouth and smiled beside him, and said, "Sister, you are really a woman who doesn't let you shave your eyebrows." You see the same thing, your brother doesn't know anything, but you inquire clearly. When I came here before, I was thinking, since you want to do this business, I should accompany you to see the world, but now it seems that you may be able to do this. If Ah Mei is not seen, it will also be counted as my share. ”

What can make Xiang's say to occupy a share is most likely her own silver!

Yu Tang was very surprised, both grateful for the Xiang family's trust in her, but also worried that the Jiang family's failure to do so this time dragged the Xiang family down.

After all, the news she heard in her previous life didn't seem so accurate now.
