Chapter 211: Undercurrent

Wu thought that it must be a business matter, so he didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly asked Uncle Huang to invite someone in, and called May to prepare tea, and he went to Wei Garden to find Banniang.

As soon as Banniang heard it, she knew that the timber she bought at that time, as well as the goods transported by Torin Zhaoqing, had arrived. After thinking about it for a while, he still changed into men's clothes to act cheaply, and it happened that Jue'er's clothes were still in the house, so he found it and put it on, and re-tied his hair in a bun, and went to the main courtyard with the Wu family.

The original Lin steward listened to Lin Zhaoqing to come to find the eighth lady of the Zeng family, and it was a little strange, only to see the eighth lady dressed as a son, and couldn't help but look at it without a trace, because he also went south and north to have some knowledge, this secret closer look, but saw something different, the heart did not come to think that the former Zeng Eighth Son, it was really a young lady, I had some admiration for this son brother who was younger than the boss of his own business house, this discovery, it was still a young lady, and I didn't dare to underestimate it.

After Banniang asked him to sit, he said respectfully: "The villain was instructed by Lin Ye to deliver goods to Zeng Gongzi, and the last time Zeng Gongzi entrusted my family Lin Ye to carry the cotton and linen materials of Fanbang, there happened to be a fleet returning to Hong Kong before, and he got some excellent condition, and this time he also brought it over." However, Lin Ye ordered, saying that the furniture in Zeng Gongzi's woodware shop was good, and the money for the goods, the eighth prince did not have to pay separately, and there was a ready-made household goods, let the villain take some home, and the payment for the goods would be paid. ”

Banniang asked Sen Zhaoqing how it was, thinking that it was probably Lin Zhaoqing who knew that she was now short of funds, so she thought of this compromise solution, and she couldn't help but feel some gratitude for Lin Zhaoqing's thoughtfulness, and the favor increased a little more.

After smiling and talking for a while, the steward only said that the goods were still at the wharf, waiting to be delivered to the ground, and that his errand could only be completed, and because he had recently obtained a lot of goods, the caravan was going to Shandong, and as soon as the goods were loaded and unloaded, he would rush back.

Seeing that what he said was clear, Banniang was in a hurry to leave, and it was not good to delay any longer, so she sent someone to the workshop to invite the father and son of the Liu family, and followed the steward to the dock.

Because it is not a large freighter in the sea, although it is only 7,000 pieces of cargo, it is enough to carry four, and when she arrives, the fleet has already hired the porters on the dock, because it was said in advance that it would be sent to the ground, and Banniang is not surprised.

Only except for the wood, other things have to be transported home first, Banniang said the address, let the porter of the wharf send it to Zeng's house, and Liu Erlang also quickly rushed over. Banniang explained the matter, and handed over the matter of transporting the wood into the warehouse to Liu Erlang.

Because the forest steward said that she wanted to take the family and the money she owed Lin Zhaoqing to buy wood carvings last time, she invited the forest steward to go to the woodware workshop, and she also had the intention to let the forest steward see her woodware workshop, so that Lin Zhaoqing could rest assured.

The two went to the carpentry workshop, and the steward looked at it without a trace, and saw that although the whole compound was piled up with fragments of all kinds of semi-finished household goods and wood waste, it looked messy, but the workers acted in an orderly manner, and when they entered the warehouse where the finished products were placed, they saw all kinds of exquisite and elegant, or dignified and dignified, or prosperous and luxurious household goods that he had never seen before, divided into categories, neatly placed, and listed there. The sunlight shining through the pane fell on it, and the lacquer surface was as charming as silk, and he couldn't help but be surprised, and couldn't help but praise: "I really didn't expect that the family from the son's woodware workshop could reach such a level, the shape of the vessel is different, the workmanship is exquisite, with Zeng Gongzi's requirements for wood quality, the materials used are not bad, although the villain does not have much knowledge, but the villain is also a businessman, if these are sold on the market, not to mention the Great Song Kingdom, they are all sought-after goods." ”

While boasting, he already had a plan in his heart. Thinking that after going back, I must discuss with Lin Ye, if I can get the right to sell these belongings, it will undoubtedly bring them a huge profit, and if I can sell it overseas in the future, the profit will be even more ......

Thinking like this, his expression was even more respectful.

Although the expression on his face changed slightly, it also fell in Banniang's eyes. Banniang said with a smile: "Steward Lin carefully picks and chooses to see what is needed." As for the price, I owe Lin Ye a favor, so naturally I will give it to Lin Ye according to the cost. If it's convenient, Steward Lin can also tell me where Master Lin wants these things to be used, when it comes to family things, I'm an expert, and I recommend it, so I can't be wrong. ”

Steward Lin said with a smile: "Naturally believe in Zeng Gongzi's recommendation, Lin Ye bought a new house, because he was busy before, he didn't do his best to clean up, and he was not satisfied with the family in front of him, and he wanted to make up for some shortcomings, and he also changed some of the things in front of him, so he needed a lot of home." As for the money, before Lin Ye came, he also gave the villain 2,000 yuan, and Zeng Gongzi just selected some according to the price. ”

Banniang smiled.

Steward Lin didn't mention these two thousand things before.

However, she can also understand that no matter how affectionate she is, people can't spend their hard-earned money indiscriminately, not to mention that she and Lin Zhaoqing are just business partners, and they don't have any affection, so it is even more impossible to smash 2,000 yuan in vain without being sure.

It is true that two thousand guan may not be really anything to Lin Zhaoqing now, but it is nothing, and the money did not fall from the sky for nothing, but fought for it at sea with his life. As the steward he hired, Steward Lin is optimistic about the master's money bag, and it is natural for him to be optimistic.

Banniang asked the Lin family's new house what houses to buy, and asked who lived in it, so according to the money, more than 2,000 yuan of goods were allocated. Fortunately, in the spring, the wood was prepared and laid, and a lot of finished products were made, so it was enough to pick and choose.

After picking the goods, I asked the workers hired by the dock to pack them and transport them to the boat parked at the dock, and then waited for the timber and other materials over there to be unloaded, and it was already dark. Banniang invited the delivery of the people, to the Sheraton to eat, the steward of the original to refuse, not good to tell her to break the bill, Banniang smiled: "It's rare to come on a trip, and it's because of Lin Ye's love, only to do things for me, a meal always has to be invited, and the restaurant is run by me, and it can't break anything, so it is good to ask Steward Lin to take the brothers to have a good meal, and they are tired on the road for several days, so they should take a break." ”

She was naturally not easy to accompany, so she called Lu Changan to greet her.

Steward Lin is Lin Zhaoqing's confidant, and he came with him this time to see what the strength of Zeng Bagongzi is, after all, he will be an important partner who will often have business contacts in the future. The more you know, the more secure you become. So he stayed.

Banniang asked the guys in the store to book an inn for Steward Lin, and after explaining the matter, she went home.

When he got home, Wang Zhizhi also returned to Zeng's house, and they met in two times, because of the fact that Zijing went to the countryside, Banniang said: "Speaking of which, there is also a grange where the sixth sister is married, and it is the season of the autumn harvest at this time. ”

Wang Zhizhi was moved when he heard this, not that he cared about the Zhuangzi who was married to Liuniang, but that he heard that Lu Qiqi was trying to plant double-season Champong rice, and it was reported that the harvest was higher than the yield of a single season, and he wanted to go and see, if the harvest was indeed excellent, their family also had a grange, and if they took the scriptures and planted them, wouldn't it be beneficial to their own family?

In addition, when the sixth sister was at home, as the eldest daughter-in-law, she had been very busy, and he begged her parents this time to bring the sixth mother back to Nanfeng's mother's house, and he also wanted to let her relax, go to the countryside, and enjoy the joy of the countryside, which is indeed a good choice.

looked at Liuniang: "Lady, I'll be busy tomorrow, Eighth Sister's proposal is good, why don't we go to the Grange to have a look?" It just so happens that I also have some things and want to ask Lu Gongzi for advice. ”

Because he said that there was something serious, the sixth sister naturally would not object, but said: "Then you can go, there is no one at home, I will stay to help my sister-in-law clean up the yard, and when my grandmother comes back in a few days, it will be good to live then." ”

In fact, she selfishly wanted to go to Linchuan to have a look, but the time was too short, and she was afraid that it would be difficult for the king to blame.

Banniang followed and persuaded: "Sixth sister just go with the sixth brother-in-law, family affairs, with the help of mother-in-law and maids, where do you need to help?" It's hard to relax for a few days, you just have to have fun. Besides, you don't want to see what your grange looks like? ”

Wang Zhizhi also knew that she was worried about the old lady and wanted to see it, so he smiled and said: "I told my father and mother before I left, I will probably stay for a few more days, and when we come back from the grange, if the old lady does not return, I will take you to Linchuan again?" ”

Being someone's daughter-in-law is no better than being a daughter in her own family, Liuniang hesitated: "It's been delayed for a long time, isn't it?" Besides, the family is busy now. ”

Wang Zhizhi glanced at her with pity: "No matter how busy you are, what about a large family, there will be no one to do without you?" Just listen to me. ”

Liu Niang didn't speak. But in my heart, I am grateful to the king for his guilt and compassion.

On the one hand, Banniang watched her sister and brother-in-law love each other, understood each other, and was also happy for Liuniang.

Early the next morning, Banniang sent away the forest manager, and went to the warehouse in the north of the city to see the full warehouse of wood.
