Compared with the Yonghe Hall, the side hall is much smaller, there are five sets of tables and chairs in it, Du Jun glanced at it casually, there are about more than ten masters, different ages, at this time they are pulling their acquaintances to pass the time, and there is a personal maid standing behind each person, which seems to be even more crowded in the side hall that is not too big.

The little maid who brought the guest obviously knew the situation here, and smiled apologetically at Du Jun, Du Jun smiled and waved her hand, it was not her fault, and then reached out and handed the gift box brought by Mancang to the little maid.

It's not expensive, a mat made of rabbit skin is just a thought, besides, she's a small farmer, and she can't get anything too good, right?

The people inside also glanced at the two Du monarchs and servants, and at first glance it was a fresh face, and the abruptly stopped noise sounded again, but everyone also knew that this was the backyard of the county government, and they all deliberately suppressed their voices when talking.

Seeing the little maid leave, as soon as Du Jun turned around, he saw a woman about twenty-six or seventeen years old, dressed as a young woman in a lake blue skirt, standing up and greeting him gently.

"You're the Du lady of the Song Catcher family, right? If you don't mind, you can come and sit here", the woman seemed to use the question, but in fact it was extremely affirmative.

Someone invited, Du Jun would not refuse someone thousands of miles away, besides, this woman has clear eyes, simple clothes, generous and decent manners, is about the same age as her core, and her appearance is not annoying, which can't help but make her feel a little bit of friendship.

"You've seen me before? Forgive me for my clumsiness, I don't know what this sister is called? Du Jun smiled slightly, walked forward slowly, and asked softly.

Since drinking the space water, Du Jun's memory is much better than in her previous life, and most of the time since she crossed over has been on the farm, plus she is pregnant and has become a biological child, she doesn't know much about people outside, and the woman in front of her dressed as a young woman, Du Jun dares to confirm that she has never seen it, so she has this question.

The handle of this table belonged to the worst position, and there were only two people before she came, except for the young woman, there was also a woman who looked at her face about forty or so, her eyes were clear and gentle, and she should have looked like a good person. After the two of them sat down to greet each other,

"The slave family is a little older than Du Niangzi, so she cheekily took advantage of her sister", the woman laughed disgustingly, and then said, "The slave family's husband's surname is Qi, and the family is making a living as a cloth village, and the slave family is not married to the family, and people who are familiar with me call me Xu Sanniang." ”

Hearing this, Du Jun guessed who this woman was, the shopkeeper behind the Qi family's Yijin Pavilion!

Speaking of which, the two are somewhat similar, and they both like to do business. The area of Anxian County is not large, there are a lot of cloth villages, no less than ten large and small, in addition to the industry boss of the main silk cloud workshop, the second place is to win by quantity, cotton and linen-based clothing brocade pavilion.

But more than ten years ago, Yijin Pavilion was just a small shop that could not be smaller, on the verge of closing, and Qi Zelan, the head of the Qi family at that time, was seriously ill, and the eldest of the three sons, Qi Huaining, was only fifteen years old, and there were two younger brothers who were less than ten years old.

It is also Xu Sanniang's good life, after Chongxi, Qi Zelan's condition miraculously improved, and finally although it did not reach the level of full recovery, but at least he could continue to take care of the ancestral Yijinge, a few years later, Xu Sanniang gave birth to the eldest grandson and gradually showed his shrewdness and talent in business, making the business of Yijinge better and better, and also helped the two little uncles to become a family.

Now the business is booming, the family is stable, the brothers are humble, the concubines are friendly, and they are really envious of others when they say it, and the reason why they understand it so thoroughly is because Yijinge is the largest supplier of cloth on the farm.

"If you want to say that I have seen it, it is only in the garment competition held by my sister Zhuangzili, my sister and I were fortunate to see my sister's demeanor from afar, but I have not had the opportunity to meet since then, it is really a pity, but I didn't expect to meet here today, which is also a matter of my sister's heart", Xu Sanniang continued with a smile.

The ins and outs are clearly explained, and how can it be disliked?

The corners of Du Jun's mouth turned up, and he stepped forward and took the initiative to pull Xu Sanniang, "My sister said and laughed, I am so good, but I am just leading some people to beg for food, but it is also my Du Jun's luck to meet my sister today, and I will have the opportunity in the future, I must ask my sister for advice or two, I am a big girl in this business - the first time, I don't understand a lot of things." ”

One is willing to make friends, the other is sincere, and soon the two will talk about each other.

Of course, Xu Sanniang is not the only one at this table, there is also a woman who is about forty years old before Du Jun comes, her husband's surname is Li, she is a member of the staff with a little assets, she is smiling, she doesn't talk much, she should also be a good person, after all, she can sit at the same table with Xu Sanniang.

During the chat, Du Jun slowly discovered that most of the guests invited by Mrs. Tang this time were wealthy squires and family members of some officials, and most of these people had one thing in common, that is, they had a good reputation and were willing to give.

Is this a coincidence? Or is it an ulterior motive? Du Jun was uncertain in his heart.

Half an hour later, seven or eight more ladies came to the side hall one after another, and a woman in a purple gown appeared in front of everyone with a smile.

"Ladies, on the orders of my wife, please follow the slave and maid to the back garden, Madame has been waiting for a long time."

Hearing that the county lady was waiting, everyone didn't say much, stood up, picked up a little, and a group of people followed behind the mother-in-law.

In addition to taking care of the family's food and drink, Mrs. Tang's only hobby is to serve flowers and plants, so she specially recruited a florist from outside to take care of her.

The back garden is not far from the side hall, and soon all kinds of flowers appeared on both sides of the road, each leading the way.

Du Jun fell at the back of the crowd like a leisurely stroll, she was not very interested in these flowers and grasses, limited to a few conventional qualities, roses, chrysanthemums, etc., at this time, following behind these ladies, she also gained a lot of knowledge.

However, I also deeply realized how boring the life of a deep boudoir woman in this era is, she doesn't show her feet, she can't walk an inch, she doesn't smile or show her teeth, her hands don't show her chest, she plays the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and knitting women, just like factory assembly line operations to produce batches of puppets.

Du Jun couldn't help but pat his chest and rejoice. Take a look at the latest chapter of "The Ancient Life of the Last Woman" and read it for free for the first time.
