New Year's New Weather, every household has prepared all the New Year's goods that need to be prepared before the year.

Melon seeds, peanuts, jujubes, sugar cubes, lanterns, firecrackers, and New Year ceremonies are all ready. Thousands of households always replace the new peach with the old one.

The coldness of the cold day did not affect people's moods.

Today is the first day of the year, the day to get together with close relatives, according to the custom, on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, they have gathered together to have a reunion dinner, the next morning they burn incense to worship their ancestors, and then go to visit relatives and friends.

The seven aunts and eight aunts couldn't be counted on their fingers, and it was impossible to go one by one, and most of them met at the dinner table.

The child was pulled around like this, collecting some New Year's money. Adults are happy, and so are children.

The streets of Ducheng are full of people coming and going, cars and horses are like dragons, and people are weaving, and the most lively streets are once flooded.

Sometimes it is even necessary to dispatch officers and soldiers to maintain order, otherwise there will always be some petty thieves and gangsters, which will ruin people's interest. In a crowd, it is easy to touch the purse.

The front door of Jinchun Restaurant was full of people.

No one knows what's going on, because during the Chinese New Year, in addition to eating and chatting at home, everyone goes out to go shopping and enjoy fun.

It's okay during the day, but at night there is a lantern festival, and that time is the most lively.

So what do you do in broad daylight?

It turned out to be a juggling team, which used to be only used during celebrations. Most of the people just watched the excitement.

The people in these juggling teams are all strange people who have some unique skills. On weekdays, if you are not invited to do things, you will gather somewhere and perform on the street to beg for some money.

They were all tatteredly dressed, but well-built men.

So who did they invite here? Is it celebrating something again?

Sprinkle melon seeds and peanuts, and you can catch some under the coaxing.

The smiling face standing at the door was the owner of Jinchun Restaurant.

He is really red today, because someone invited such a large juggling team to gather around his restaurant to help him attract customers and play signs, can he not be happy?

Of course, the other party also agreed with him, and now he will perform at the door of his restaurant for a while, and then leave.

The people who invited this juggling team were customers in his shop.

Who?

The rich merchant from Jiangnan.

Don't say it, this man looks gloomy and scary, but he has a good heart.

Especially his subordinates are really proper and proper, so that people can't make mistakes.

On the first day of the new year, the family had just moved out in the morning. It is said that a house has already been bought in the capital.

A rich businessman is a rich businessman, and he has inherited such a small restaurant for most of his life.

Think about people, say buy a house, buy a house, that's called an atmosphere. I heard that I still have to do business in the capital, and I don't know what kind of business I do, and he will also have some acquaintances to take care of him.

The juggling team performed at the entrance of the restaurant for a while before slowly moving westward.

The location of Jiang Li's shop is not the most prosperous area, of course, this does not mean that he does not have the strength to compete for the best territory, but he is new to the city and the business he wants to do is aimed at different people, so he does not need a special center of the shop where the crowd gathers.

On the contrary, the places he chose were precisely those where the crowd was sparse and ordinary, and they were all shouting people's homes, and the rich and noble families gathered.

A façade was opened.

Of course, this is only the first room, and it is also the beginning.

Jiang Li's main business is still the silk business, in the early years, cheap wholesale silk has become a thing of the past, and now all that is sold are medium and high-grade or even excellent silk.

At the beginning, the old man of the Jiang family was very opposed to Jiang Li's approach, because he abandoned the low-level but large number of guests, but sold a lot and made small profits but quick turnover.

But Jiang Li felt that he was always doing some low-grade and inferior silk business, and the Jiang family's signboard would never be able to sound.

He must improve the quality of the Jiang family's silk, and even the people who sell it, to a higher level.

This contradiction was resolved when the Jiang family's silk was successfully selected as a tribute to the palace.

Could it be that those nobles in the palace naturally can't be inferior, even if it's just one of the many types of silk in the Jiang family.

It is precisely because of this that in the end, the old man of the Jiang family had to stop, because the other clansmen supported Jiang Li.

Since ancient times, the relationship between officials and businessmen has always been very sensitive.

The Jiang family is rich enough, but they still don't have enough power, and their backers are never big enough, so their progress in expanding their business is particularly slow.

Once the silk of the Jiang family entered the tribute paid by the imperial court, its value increased many times.

Every year, the Jiang family is actively operating, but most of them have no results, but after Jiang Li took over, somehow, it was successfully realized.

Jiang Li also successfully replaced his eldest brother's position, although the people in the clan are still afraid of Jiang Li's numerology of hurting Jin Keshui, but for now, there is no substantial harm to them, so it is still important to do business at the moment.

When Brother Jiang Li recovers from his illness, it's okay to get Jiang Li down.

With such an abacus, the clan elder let Jiang Li handle the affairs of the Jiang family.

Eventually, it settled in the capital city of Yingdu.

Jiang Li did not come forward, and it was Fu Yan who came forward in his place.

Because Fu Yan is good at dancing with long sleeves, he is not as bitter and vengeful as Jiang Li, and he is fierce and vicious.

It's much better to communicate outside than Jiang Li.

For example, the juggling team gathered at the gate of Jinchun Restaurant today was arranged by Fu Yan in accordance with Jiang Li's intentions.

The opening of their shop is set for the first day of the Lunar New Year, which is a good day.

According to the plan, it also started from Jinchun Restaurant, and then marched all the way to the door of their Jiang family's shop.

The name of the new store is called Shuiyunjian, and the name of the Jiang family is not directly used, but the chapter of the old lady of the Jiang family is noted in the lower right corner of the plaque, which means that the person who wrote the three words Shuiyunjian belongs to the Jiang family.

As a shop selling silk, Jiang Li divided the goods in Shuiyunjian into medium and high-class, both of which were expensive but of excellent quality.

The touch is excellent, the Jiang family's silk has been made for so many years, it is less easy to wrinkle than other families, and it is not easy to suck up, Jiang Li is very confident that he can gain a firm foothold in the business district of the capital, it is only a matter of time.

The house he bought was only two streets away from Shui Yunjian, and the house was not big, just an ordinary small courtyard.

Jiang Li didn't want to be loud, after all, it was in the capital, and the price of the luxurious house was not cheap, so he had to be low-key in all aspects, just enough to live.

Although this is not in line with his usual arrogance, he secretly restrains himself every time, reminding himself that the strong dragon can't overpower the ground snake.

But there is always a sharp momentum in my heart, and I can't bear it.

Jiang Li, who had been sitting in the house from early morning to noon, finally couldn't help but go out to take a look.

He figured out that the men had arrived at the door of the shop. Jiang Li straightened his clothes and prepared to go out, just hiding in the crowd to watch his new store open.

There are not many people from the Jiang family, after all, there is no need to throw too many stepping stones at once.

What's more, Jiang Li just let him run by himself if he wants to, and the rest of the Jiang family doesn't want to go with him.

I was afraid that I would accidentally offend Jiang Li and attract the other party's crazy revenge.

There is a lesson to be learned from the past.

Not long after Jiang Li took the position of the head of the Jiang family, a peer of the Jiang family couldn't get used to Jiang Li, so he deliberately poked his life experience in front of everyone, ridiculed his numerology, and did something to fan the flames, making everyone even more jealous of Jiang Li.

At that time, Jiang Li did not show anything unusual, but was extremely calm, making the person who provoked him think that Jiang Li was afraid of him, and was proud of it.

But then he couldn't laugh.

I don't know what day it was, that person was doxxed, and the matter of secretly making fake accounts in the Jiang family's shop was discovered, bullying many women from good families, and even having an affair with a married woman from a foreign family.

After being turned out, this person was removed from the Jiang family.

Just like that, it quietly disappeared completely under everyone's noses.

Since then, the people of the Jiang family have not only been very disgusted with Jiang Li, but also a little more afraid.

But he is very talented in business, and he has led the Jiang family's business to a higher level, so no one dares to do anything to him.

After all, businessmen are profitable.

Not long after Jiang Li went out, the juggling team had already arrived in front of Shui Yunjian.

The weather is clear on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the temperature is not necessarily high, and it is cold after the snow. However, the fine sunlight fell on the roofs, streets, and rivers, adding dazzling gold to the plain white, and reflecting the red lanterns inlaid with gold threads under the eaves, which added a lot of joy.

Because it was the New Year, the snow on the streets had been cleared in advance and piled up in the corners of the streets.

The people who shoveled the snow were people from the government, and they piled the snow together and then found a cart to transport it out of the city.

In some places, there is ice in the puddles, and pedestrians who are not careful in the process of passing through will fall on their heels and attract laughter from the people around them.

For the people in the juggling team, they are even more bruised and swollen, but there is no way, life is forced. After getting up, you still have to continue performing.

Someone who wanted to know where the juggling party was going, so they followed them.

Some of the little dolls also thought those in masks were very funny, with strange big eyes, and then stretched out their white and soft little hands and grabbed them into the air.

They sat in the arms of the adults, and they didn't realize how tired they were.

Because most of the relatives and friends are gathered at the dinner table, and the cheeks are not yet the time to eat, everyone lives not far from each other in Nancheng District, so this excitement still has to be seen.

The juggling procession attracted passers-by as they walked, attracting a large crowd of onlookers.

By the time they reached the door of the water cloud, the door was already blocked.

It is even more difficult for a person to enter the store from the outside, after all, how many hands and shoulders must be pushed to walk in.

Standing in the water and clouds was Fu Yan, and the things in the store had been taken care of in the morning, waiting for the juggling team to come, and then creating a momentum for the opening of the new store.

Let others know that a new silk shop was opened here on the first day of the Lunar New Year, called Shuiyunjian, which was the shop of Jiangnan's family.
