There are only one or two doors on the street, one counter, and one with five or six tables.

"There's a big courtyard in the back," Yu Yuan said excitedly, "planted with bamboo, clumps, like umbrellas, with more than a dozen tables." When there is no rain or snow, everyone likes to sit in the yard. If the weather is bad, go and sit in the house - the courtyard is open on three sides, and I took a closer look to see that there are a dozen tables in each open room. There is also a second floor, but the second floor is full of private rooms. It's the first time I've seen such a wine shop, no wonder everyone else is running to Suzhou, Suzhou is really more lively than Hangzhou. Speaking of this, he smiled and said, "However, it may also be that I have gone to too few places and have a short experience, and I have no chance to see better places in Hangzhou than this." ”

Yu Tang and Xiang both pursed their lips and smiled.

Yu Yuan continued: "I rewarded the shopkeeper with a piece of broken silver, and inquired about the Jiang family. ”

That's where it gets to the point.

Yu Tang and Xiang sat up straight.

Yu Yuan's expression also became solemn, and said: "Jiang Chao, who is in charge of the Jiang family, has never done maritime business before, and everyone is still a little worried about him. He has been raising shares everywhere these days, and the silver and goods are also good, but this time as long as tea and porcelain, the other goods are said to be ready. I felt uneasy, and seeing the opportunity, I and Pinggui invited the guy to have a meal outside. Listening to the guy's tone, Jiang Chao may not be the leader yet, most of him just took a share of the business of going to sea this time. Just this share, he can't eat it alone, so he will find someone to join the shares in Suzhou City. I see that this matter is a little hanging, and I plan to inquire again tomorrow. ”

Yu Tang nodded again and again, and said, "Then let's do both." I inquired about the Jiang family's aunt's residence, tomorrow I will go to find the Jiang family's aunt and grandmother, and you will go to meet Jiang Chao. ”

Yu Yuan thought for a while and said, "Why don't I go with your sister-in-law to see Jiang Chao?" I'm a little uncertain. ”

Xiang was very relieved to hear this.

Her husband is not only good-looking and respectful of her, but also has rules and regulations for doing things.

All that's missing is experience.

Even if you lose some money, you can only buy experience and lessons.

Who doesn't do business like this!

Not to mention Yu Tang, he can do more than Yu Yuan.

Brother and sister work together, and their profits are broken.

Their days to come will only get better and better.

"Sister, what do you mean?" Xiang asked Yu Tang.

Coincidentally, Yu Tang wanted to meet Jiang Ling alone and wanted to investigate Jiang Ling's character. She goes alone, and it is more convenient for her to speak.

"Then sister-in-law, you can accompany your brother!" She smiled, "Aunt and grandmother of the Jiang family are female dependents, and we have no scruples when we talk." Jiang Chao is a hero, if the elder brother does not talk well with him, the sister-in-law can also persuade him to make peace from the side. ”

Xiang nodded.

Yu Yuan said: "You said that Jiang Chao is a hero, what have you heard?" ”

Yu Tang was shocked to realize that he was speechless, and hurriedly remedied: "He can sell the boat left by his father to follow his uncle to run the ship, and he can start running the business at sea in just two years, which shows that this person is not simple." What is not a hero? Then she reminded Yu Yuan, "Such a person, even if he can't cooperate, he can't be offended." ”

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it." Yu Yuan should go down.

His brother is also a person who can support the family business in the future.

Yu Tang has nothing to worry about.

Early the next morning, she and her brother and sister-in-law used the breakfast, returned to the guest room to redress and dress up, and went to Yu's house.

Yu's house is also a shot away from Jiang's house, with white walls and gray tiles, black lacquered Ruyi doors, and a half-person-high bookbox-like box-shaped door pier standing on the left and right.

Looking at it like this, there were people in the Yu family who were officials in the past, and the official rank was not low, at least they were officials of the fourth grade.

The concierge of the Yu family was shocked when he heard that someone had come to visit the eldest and youngest grandmother in the family, or from Lin'an, and hurriedly went to pay tribute to Jiang Ling.

Jiang Ling was serving her husband to drink medicine, and after hearing about it, she asked carefully for a long time and didn't ask anything, so she had to ask the porter to invite someone to the hall, she explained the things in the house clearly, changed her clothes and went to meet the guests.

From afar, she saw a woman wearing a blue-green plain Hangzhou silk gown and a double snail bun standing tall in the hall looking at the picture of the five women's birthday greetings hanging in the middle hall.

The warm morning light shone on her, like a green bamboo that had just been jointed, which was impressive.

She couldn't help but blush, and explained when she entered the door: "My mother-in-law celebrated her birthday a few days ago, and she didn't have time to take it off. ”

The paintings hanging in the middle hall should be changed at any time according to the different seasons of the year, and at this time, some flowers, birds, fruits and the like should be hung, but Yu Dagongzi's body is not as good as day by day, and no one in the family is in the mood to care about these.

Yu Tang didn't know when Yu Dagongzi went, but when he thought about it, he couldn't help but sigh when he heard it.

"Grandma is serious." She smiled politely, turned around and said, "No one has to set any paintings to hang, and the most important thing is to like them." ”

Jiang Ling saw Yu Tang's face clearly, and suddenly felt that his eyes lit up.

She has seen a lot of girls with beautiful eyebrows and eyes, but it is very rare to see a girl like Yu Tang who is not only beautiful with beautiful eyebrows and eyes, but has a temperament as warm as jade and as bright as a flower.

She couldn't help but say, "Miss, who is?" ”

Jiang Ling was afraid that Yu Tang was the old man of the Yu family.

Yu Tang was very surprised when he saw Jiang Ling.

In her mind, a woman who can do something like Jiang Ling that is not inferior to a man, even if she is not a person with thick eyebrows and big eyes and a tall and tall person, she should also be a dignified, shrewd and rigorous woman, but Jiang Ling looks about the same height as her, her figure is thin, and she can only see a pair of big black and white peach blossom eyes on her palm-sized face, long eyelashes like a small fan, her face is immature, and her smile is shy.

Yu Tang even wondered at that moment if he had found the wrong person.

"You, you are the aunt and grandmother of the Jiang family." She said hesitantly, "Is it Master Jiang Chao's sister?" ”

Jiang Ling breathed a sigh of relief.

Since she asked her brother, it can be seen that she is a relative or an old friend of the Jiang family, she doesn't know it, and her brother should know it too.

"And who are you?" She asked Yu Tang cautiously.

Yu Tang smiled and explained the intention: "I am from Lin'an, and my surname is Yu. You may not have heard of it. Our family makes lacquerware. My brother and I have come here to buy paint these days. I heard that Mr. Jiang was going to run a maritime business and was raising funds to buy shares. There is a difference between men and women, I am embarrassed to go to Master Jiang, so I have to come to you to explore the wind and see if we have the possibility of cooperation. ”

Jiang Ling still didn't know her, but he had a good impression of her, and felt that she dared to come to see her without knowing her, and he admired her very much.

She warmly entertained Yu Tang for tea, and talked about her brother's business: "It's rare that Miss Yu is interested." It's just that I never take care of my brother's business. However, I know about his stock raising. My brother is a real person, if you can participate in the shares, you will definitely not suffer. And my brother has always done things properly, and when the female dependents are in the shares, there will be a special female steward to take care of them. I'll have someone find the housekeeper in our house, and you can ask her anything you want, or ask her to bring a message to my brother. ”

There is a special female steward, are there many women who have invested in Jiang Chao's business?

Yu Tang pondered in his heart, but his face was silent, and he said to Jiang Ling with a smile: "Then there is Grandma Lao." “

"Where!" Jiang Ling was very polite, and immediately called someone to invite the female housekeeper of the Jiang family to come over, without asking Yu Tang how he knew that their family was raising stocks, nor how she found the door.

Yu Tang frowned secretly.

This Jiang Ling is not as shrewd as the legend is!

She was entangled, and continued to chat with Jiang Ling while waiting for the female steward of the Jiang family: "I don't know how many shares Master Jiang's business has entered this time?" ”

Jiang Ling's expression was embarrassed when he heard this, and he didn't explain for a while.

Didn't you take a stake?

Yu Tang was shocked.

Jiang Ling felt that he had done something wrong.

People in Suzhou City don't believe that her brother can do business at sea, as her sister, she should be the first to stand up and support her brother, if others know that her brother's business is not even a shareholder of her, others will not believe her brother.

She eagerly explained: "I'm definitely going to take a stake. But you have also seen that I am now the daughter-in-law of the Yu family, and I have to ask my father-in-law about business. It's just that my father-in-law is very sick these days, and he hasn't found a chance to talk about it......"

Yu Tang already felt tired, and she reluctantly smiled and said "It's okay".

Jiang Ling also had to explain that the female steward of the Jiang family had arrived.

The housekeeper was ordinary-looking, in her thirties, fair-skinned, and had a black mole the size of a grain of rice at the corner of her mouth.

Seeing Yu Tang, she was slightly stunned, gave Jiang Ling a salute, and before Jiang Ling could speak, she said, "Grandma, what's the matter with you?" After speaking, he glanced at Yu Tang vigilantly.

Jiang Ling smiled and told the female butler about Yu Tang's intention, and introduced Yu Tang to the female butler's husband's family surnamed Jiang, and let Yu Tang call her "Jiang Niangzi".

Yu Tang said hello to Mrs. Jiang, Mrs. Jiang returned the salute, and asked to hear Yu Tang's origin: "Miss Yu is from Lin'an?" I don't know who else is in the family? How could you come to Suzhou alone to buy paint? How could you have thought of taking a stake in our Jiang family's business? Are you going to buy shares on your own, or do you want to buy shares with your family? ”

Some women will take the opportunity to earn some private money.

It turned out that Yu Tang was going to answer the question asked by Jiang Ling, but Jiang Ling didn't ask a word, but Jiang Niangzi asked.

"I am the only daughter in my family and have only one cousin. This time, I went out with my cousin and sister-in-law......" Yu Tang was already a little disappointed in Jiang Ling at the moment, and indifferently told Jiang Niangzi about his intention.

Mrs. Jiang was skeptical, but she still welcomed her, and said, "This is a big deal, Miss should go back and discuss with her brother before making plans!" ”
