Chapter 644: Whose Fire Pit
After listening to this kind, Cheng Ziyu also sighed.
For a moment, she didn't know what to say.
"That's not it!" He Sijing was turning from behind the corridor. "It's not!"
He didn't go far this morning.
After thinking about it, he still felt that he had to come back and make it clear to Cheng Hongyu. So he left shortly before he returned. When he came back, he heard that Ziyu was coming, and he was ordering someone to find him.
He felt that it was just right, so he simply said it in front of Ziyu, Hongyu might be able to listen to it and continue to be willful.
When he arrived, Ruby was talking.
He didn't step forward, but stood where he was, quietly listening to her finish all her grievances and pains.
"Ruby, there are a lot of misunderstandings in it. Please listen to me. He Sijing also looked tired......
After coming to the capital, He Sijing felt that a new world had been opened.
It's bustling and lively, and there's everything here, which is far from being matched by a small place like Jingxi.
He is somewhat similar to Hongyu, slightly unrestrained.
Here, he was like a fish in water, and he found what he wanted to do at once.
There are many people who know how to craft in the workshop, but few can be responsible for foreign affairs. Especially in the capital, there are many big people, and the housekeepers don't want to see them at all, and what the workshop urgently needs is a family member who supports him outside like the third uncle of the Cheng family.
He took over the foreign affairs and did a good job.
But inevitably, there is more socializing.
He met many dignitaries and received a lot of orders. He created wealth for the Cheng family, realized his own value, and of course, he also earned silver.
He worked hard, hoping to hold up a piece of the sky. For the red jade, for the future of the Cheng family and the He family.
But Hongyu didn't like the smell of alcohol on him.
He explained many times.
But it didn't work.
He thought that after a long time, she would slowly accept it......
He made friends with a few sons and brothers of the same age, and those brothers were interesting enough to always introduce him to some business. There are a lot of people, and there will always be some messy things together.
On that day, they feasted and drank, and it was the bureau of the Bao family's sons.
Bao Gongzi bought a set of handmade pottery vases made by Cheng Ziyu from He Sijing, just when he was about to show off.
After the end of the southern tour, the price of Cheng Ziyu's works rose again and again.
And after she entered Beijing and her value rose several times, not only did the price of her works soar, but it was also difficult to find one.
It is speculated that her works will become less and less after she gets married, and according to the favor of the emperor and the queen mother, her things will only become more and more popular. Therefore, many people have the intention of collecting and displaying, and many more people have a little bit of investment intention to wait for the tide to rise.
Therefore, there are many people who want to buy purple jade objects.
And He Sijing knew that Cheng Ziyu would not give up his craft, and there was no possibility of slowly stopping making pottery after marriage, but he would not be stupid to explain it to those outsiders.
When Bao Gongzi asked for a set of handicrafts made by Cheng Ziyu, he agreed to matchmaking.
He had an active brain, not only raised the price of Ziyu's works, but also proposed to want some performance.
Bao Gongzi should take a bite, as long as he gets what he wants, he will buy a batch of goods from the Cheng family that can be used by the family.
In this way, everyone rejoices.
Ziyu made money, the buyer received the treasure, he got the performance, and the workshop received the order.
Ziyu also thinks this method is good.
If her own things can drive the sale of the new workshop, she absolutely supports it.
Bao Gongzi couldn't help but be overjoyed when he got the things, so he deliberately set up a table and displayed it in front of many gentlemen and rich children.
There were already a few people in their circle who also wanted to collect the works of Cheng Ziyu and Cheng Hui, and they were red-eyed at that time.
He Sijing was very good at looking at the eyes, and did not agree to those people's requests to buy, but repeatedly emphasized the rarity and difficulty of purple jade works.
After three rounds of drinking, when the atmosphere was high and he was drunk, he patted his chest and responded to the matchmaking matter.
At the wine table, what you want is the atmosphere.
He was bold, and those second ancestors would not hold back, and they all responded to the family's "pottery procurement plan".
If you can talk at home, you can only say a word when you go back. There is no pottery at home, and there is no right to speak, and it does not prevent them from buying some additional craft pottery, which can be used for their own use or given away, after all, these people originally spent hundreds of thousands of taels of silver on purchasing gifts every year, and it is better to be cheaper brothers.
He Sijing also understands the rules, and in front of Gongzi Bao, who can be the head of the family, he not only acted generously, but also secretly gave some benefits.
For a while, he was like a fish in water in several circles in Beijing.
And some sons and brothers who originally disdained He Sijing saw that he could speak well in front of Cheng Ziyu, and often went in and out with Li Chun, and those who had no intention of buying pottery couldn't help but get close to him. Tao, how much to use, it's always good to have a personal relationship.
In addition, the He family's upbringing is very good, although the son-in-law who came out does not say that he is comprehensive, but it is still easy to rely on that bit of ink to mix a vassal elegant name.
In this way, he really has a lot of entertainment.
It was also because Cheng Ziyu knew his hard work, and he found someone to follow him a few times and found that he was just talking about business normally, so he withdrew from the person. It's not just that she relaxed her vigilance, but also because she didn't want her hard-working relatives to feel that they didn't trust him and were guarding against him, so she was dissatisfied with him, and she was even more afraid that it would hurt the feelings of their husband and wife......
He Sijing was very happy at the banquet that day, because there were two sons who made an order on the spot and handed out the deposit.
He was not afraid of them at all. It's just that this kind of circle pays special attention to face, if anyone doesn't believe in what they say, not only will they be laughed at, but they won't want to mix up in the whole circle in the future.
After a few rounds of drinking, several people drank too much.
Everyone was in the mood, but they heard a fight next door.
It turned out that it was the ruffian Liu Hu who went to gamble again today, but his luck was too stinky, he lost a lot, and he owed a hundred taels to the gambling house. Right now, Liu Hu is dragging his sister and wants to pull someone to pay off the debt.
It's hateful that Liu Hu has pushed his sister into the fire pit more than once.
This brother and sister Bao Gongzi are all known to them in a circle, and even He Sijing.
Once when they came to this restaurant, they saw with their own eyes that Liu Hu, who also lost money and wanted to repay gambling debts, sent his sister to sing in this restaurant.
The cuihua looks pretty after putting on makeup, and her voice is also good, the voice is like her person, soft and soft, and it sounds good with the pipa. At that time, Liu Hu said to the restaurant, and the sister sang half of the family.
Throwing away his sister, Liu Hu went to gamble again after taking ten taels of silver on credit from the store.
To say that the sister of the Liu family looks pitiful, when she looks at her with big eyes like a deer asking for help, several sons are soft-hearted. On that occasion, they ordered the girl to sing several songs. Zhao Sangongzi gave Qu money, and also gave the girl an extra ten taels as a reward.
The girl was grateful to Dade, and thanked again and again with tears in her eyes.
Zhao Sangongzi also asked everyone to joke and asked him why he didn't take people away.
"There is no shortage of women. There are more poor people in the world, can they take care of them? That brother is not a good thing at first glance, and if that sister is smart, she should find her own way. ”
While everyone nodded yes, they didn't forget to laugh and joke about Zhao San.
It turns out that Zhao Sanhua is famous, and he is indeed lustful, but there is a tigress at home. The wife clan is powerful, and the lady is strong, and she accepted a beautiful concubine before, and after only a few days, she asked the lady to abolish it, and the lady also threatened to sweep him out of the house if he dared to lead someone to the house.
Helplessly, his Zhao family is weak, and many industries have to rely on the help of his wife. If Madame is not happy, the whole Zhao family will be unlucky. In this way, he is really hard-hearted, no matter how many intestines he has, he doesn't dare to show much outside, so he occasionally sneaks outside to hunt wild food......
On that day, Zhao Sangongzi disliked the ugly name of the sister of the Liu family, and took a piece of jade as a color head, and asked all the sons to come together to give the sister a nickname. Whichever name the girl chooses, it counts who wins.
In the end, the sister chose the name He Sijing casually took, and since then, the green flowers have become spring calyxes, which has become the phrase "He Sijing personally took the name" in the mouth of the sister.
At that time, He Sijing and Chuncao only had this one name intersecting.
He Sijing was not interested in these women, and he didn't have any charming thoughts at all. The spring calyx is pure and well-behaved, and does not have much sense of existence.
Later, when these sons came to this store again, they often ordered the Liu family girl to sing a few songs. After a few times, Chuncao and the sons are also familiar with each other, and occasionally take the initiative to help pour a wine or something.
Today, I heard that there was a commotion next door, and it was Liu Hu who made trouble, so the sons naturally went to take a look.
It turned out that in order to repay the debt of one hundred taels, Liu Hu planned to give his sister to the gambling house. I heard that the girl was singing, so I went to drag people away.
At first, Chun Cao was holding the table leg and begging the guests to save their lives, but after seeing Zhao Sangongzi, he came up and grabbed the hem of Zhao San's clothes.
Zhao San was startled, seeing that Chuncao was crying, begging and kowtowing, and he couldn't bear it. Can you still have a good one when you enter the gambling house? I'm afraid that it will still be ruined by the resale of the green building.
He sighed and shook his head, and let Chun Cao and Liu Hu all enter the private room of their dinner.
That is, a hundred taels of silver, and everyone here is not short of that money.
In the encouraging eyes of everyone, Zhao San said that instead of pushing the spring calyx into the sea of fire, it was better for him to take out the silver. He was willing to buy the spring calyx.
Liu Hu is despicable, looking around, knowing that they are all rich masters, he naturally will not let go of this opportunity.
"Three hundred taels!" He tripled the price.
The crowd scolded him for being brazen. Ordinary people only buy a maid for a few taels of silver, and the girl in the Qinglou redeems only a hundred taels. Is this spring calyx an Oiran? Where is it worth the price? Then Liu Hu clearly wanted Zhao San to go up and have no face to come down, forcing him to pay a high price.
"I said that I would bet my sister on the gambling house, but I didn't say that I would not redeem her back. The eldest brother is like a father, and our brother and sister have more than a hundred taels. But don't worry, I, Liu Hu, promise to the sky, if you give these three hundred taels, my sister-in-law, the big girl with yellow flowers, will be yours. Tonight or tomorrow, you can come to my house at any time to carry people. In the future, what happens to my sister has nothing to do with me Liu Hu. ”
"Can I trust you?"
"It's a big deal that a few masters write a note, and I just press my handprint. Besides, I don't dare to offend you! ”
In this way, Zhao Sangongzi gave three hundred taels and became the master of Chuncao, and also forced Liu Hu to write a red-background business document, which settled the matter in black and white, and the text made it clear that he would go to mention someone within half a month. During this period, Liu Hu was not allowed to force Chun Cao to do anything.
Even if he knelt down and kowtowed, he thanked his benefactor again and again.
Everyone coaxed, saying that Zhao San was bold.
Zhao San said that he simply couldn't get used to Liu Hu's actions.
Throughout the whole process, there was nothing to do with He Sijing. But He Sijing felt a good impression of Zhao San's coming forward......
It's just that as soon as the paperwork here was completed, Liu Hu left, and the door of the VIP room over there was knocked again.
"Three, three, the third lady has arrived, and she has already arrived downstairs. Master, quick! "It was Zhao San's little guy who entered the door.
It turned out that the matter of holding Zhao Sanyi for help in the corridor just now was stabbed in the ear of Mrs. Zhao San.
The third lady was afraid that the man's head would be hot and he would get people at home again, so she rushed to the house as fast as possible to strangle the sprouts. When he came up, he heard that the matter had been settled, Liu Hu left happily, and even trotted to catch the fox spirit......
Zhao San was frightened and pushed out the spring calyx who was pouring wine into his cup.
So when Mrs. Zhao San entered the door, Chun Cao was standing beside He Sijing with a wine jug.
Zhao San squeezed his eyebrows at He Sijing.
He Sijing didn't want to sell his brother in front of everyone, thinking of Zhao San's situation, he could only lean over to Chuncao's face and whisper a few words.
Chuncao bit her lip and blushed, her face was full of shyness, and there was affection in her eyes......
On the other side, Zhao San was full of confidence: "Madame, is there something wrong?" ”
Mrs. Zhao San stared at Chuncao.
Zhao San went out and put all the things about Chuncao on He Sijing's head, only saying that Chuncao had an old friend, and there was nothing wrong with him at all. He was so clean that he didn't even call the person who accompanied the drink.
The third lady was skeptical, but seeing that Chuncao's eyes were shining in the eyes of the young man opposite, she basically believed it......
But the third lady was so good that she left a cronie outside the door.
In this way, it was not good for Chuncao to return to Zhao San's side, so he could only obediently stay behind He Sijing and serve with tea and water.
When leaving, Zhao San clenched his fists, his face was full of thanks, and bluntly said that he wanted to place a big order.
And He Sijing knew that he was more or less contaminated with a little bit of women's incense powder that day, and when he returned late, he asked Hongyu to smell it, adding to the misunderstanding......
Two days later, the group gathered together and went out into the countryside.
This time, in order to avoid embarrassment, I naturally didn't call the spring calyx.
Zhao San complained for a while, saying that he was taught a lesson after he went back. He did have the intention of hiding coquettishness that day, but now he has no thoughts. He took out the paperwork and asked if there was anyone willing to take over the spring calyx, and everyone just laughed.
He asked He Sijing again.
He Sijing said that it was the limit to help solve the siege that day, and it was absolutely difficult for him and his wife to get married.
"Where's the maid? You don't have to take the house, just take it back as a maid! In order to thank the brothers for their kindness in relieving the siege the day before yesterday, if Brother He is willing to accept people, you Zhao Sange will not accept a penny, and you will give it away in vain. ”
"Neither can a maid." He Sijing laughed. "You and I are in a similar situation, aren't we? Brother Zhao didn't dare to accept people, and I didn't dare to accept it! ”
"How good is that?" Zhao San scratched his head.
I don't want to, this spring calyx has become a hot potato.
On that day, Mrs. had already seen that Chuncao was following He Sijing, who knows if Mrs. had any suspicions, whether she was secretly investigating. If He Sijing didn't harvest the spring calyx in the end, wouldn't he tell Mrs. that he was lying to her that day?
Zhao San's back was straight.
It's weird. That day, I don't know who was so fast, and led the lady to come so quickly. After he returned, he secretly interrogated the people around him, but found nothing strange. If it weren't for someone around him leaking out, how could the news reach his wife's ears?
This made him have to wonder if Madame had planted eyeliner next to him? If that's the case, wouldn't his every move be under surveillance?
When he bought the spring calyx, he planned to send people to the suburbs to be private property as maids, and from time to time he went to eat wild food. But now he can't eat it......
He didn't dare.
He was uneasy in his heart, and today he organized this rural place in the name of going out.
What should I do with this spring calyx?
