Baozhu went out to answer the door, and hurriedly came over to report, "It's a man, and I'm not going to talk to the uncle and the lady." "This is out, but it can't be as casual as at home, it was Zhang Qingting who made him change his words.

Glancing at Zhao Chengcai, the husband and wife went out, but they saw that it was an honest strange man, the coachman was dressed up, and when he saw them, he asked, "Are you the ones who went to deliver a letter to Mama Zhu today?" ”

The two breathed a sigh of relief, "Is there something wrong?" ”

The coachman said, "If so, please go outside and say a few words." Someone is waiting, I'm just here to pass the word. ”

Zhang Qingting refused to follow, "It's dark this day, and we don't recognize her, who knows if it's true or not?" If she is sincere, let her come and speak for herself! ”

The coachman didn't seem to expect this, scratched his head and said, "Then please wait a while!" ”

He hurried out, and after a while, the coachman brought a little girl over, but it was the one he had seen during the day, "Father, madam, our grandmother is here, she is old, her legs and feet are not good, can you please go over?" ”

The two of them followed the little girl to the outside of the alley, where a carriage was parked in a secluded corner. The little girl stepped forward and whispered back, "Mama, they're here." ”

The people in the car whispered, and the little girl asked them to get in the car too, and Baozhu and the coachman stared at them outside.

The light in the carriage was not good, only an old woman could be vaguely seen, but she seemed to be younger than expected, she was holding the note written by Yan Bo in her hand, and her voice trembled slightly, "This...... It was he who wrote"

"You should know his handwriting better than we do!"

When Mama Zhu heard this, she immediately covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and she cried in a low voice, and it took a while to clean up her emotions, "Xiaoshao...... I mean, how is he? ”

"It's fine." Zhao Chengcai briefly introduced Yan Bo's life there a few words.

Zhu Mama cried even more, this kind of speechless condensation that she didn't even dare to make a sound was even more worrying to listen to.

Zhang Qingting couldn't help but reach out and pat her trembling shoulder, "Old man, you don't have to be too sad, Ah Li is very peaceful with us, and you don't need to worry." ”

When she touched her, she woke up suddenly, "You guys...... How did you come to live in Meng's house? ”

"The Meng family is now our county lord there, and he introduced us here."

"What?" Mama Zhu almost screamed, "Meng Zhan is your county master there?" Has he seen Ah? ”

Zhao Chengcai and Zhang Qingting looked at each other, "I don't know, but it's been so long, even if Master Meng hasn't seen Ah Li, Ah Li should have seen him." ”

Zhu Mama was so frightened that she even fought with her teeth, "Then he, I mean the surname Meng, is there anything right...... How about Ah? ”

Is there a feud between the two of them? Zhao Chengcai shook his head, "Lord Meng is a good official, and he won't bully a surname for no reason." ”

Zhu Mama hung her head, not knowing what she was thinking, she didn't say anything for a long time, but she slowly calmed down, wiped her tears, and said in a calm tone, "Thank you and Mrs. Gong for taking care of A, please forgive the old man for not being able to pay full courtesy." She took out a silk bag, which seemed to be filled with gold and silver, "This is the old body thank you, can you tell me your name, so that the old body can offer you the tablet of immortality, and ask the gods to bless you good people with good rewards!" ”

"Don't do that!" The two of them insisted on refusing, "Ah Li has also helped us a lot, if we really want to thank him, there are many places where we want to thank him!" Not only can we get acquainted, but also our fate, there is no need to be polite. ”

Zhao Chengcai pulled Zhang Qingting and said goodbye and got out of the car, and Zhu Mama lifted the curtain and asked, "Then do you all live here all these times?" ”

"Yes. If you have something to do, send someone to talk! ”

Zhu Mama watched their backs disappear completely, sighed deeply, and let the driver drive away.

waited until he entered the house, Zhang Qingting said, "It seems that the relationship between the Meng family and the Yan family is not very good!" ”

"Whatever!" Zhao Chengcai pointed to his nose, "We're just a little old surname, it's better to ask less about these people's affairs!" Speaking of which, Ali is also strange and pitiful, if you think about it, such a child from a big family has become a horse boy in our place, I should cry when I hear it! ”

Then I'll be Miss Daughter! Zhang Qingting smiled, "It's up to everyone!" If you can figure it out, you may not have no future as a horse player, and if you can't figure it out, it's not interesting to be a prince and grandson! ”

"That makes sense! Just like you, look at our family who used to be poor and were all tossed like this by you. If you are born in such a family, and then put it in the capital, you may be able to take the female champion exam and enter the picture! ”

"Nasty!" Zhang Qingting thought to himself at this time, at that time, he was trapped at home before, where was a girl allowed to come out and show her face? What can you do if your heart is higher than the sky? Don't dare to act recklessly, the same rules, how can there be the current sea and sky?

Zhao Chengcai turned the topic back to his home, "Hey, can you get rid of those stains on the cloth?" Why don't you find someone to wash it quickly, lest it get worse and worse! ”

Zhang Qingting was proud when he talked about this, "I'll tell you the truth!" The material of this auspicious Zhai is good, not only in the color, but also in the texture is particularly fine, the most washed! It won't be bad for five years. Don't look at those that are dirty, as long as you soak them in rice water, they can all be washed, and when the clothes are remade, they are very bright and bright, and there is absolutely no trace of flooding. ”

Zhao Chengcai immediately rolled up his sleeves, "Then you didn't say it earlier?" I'm going to soak it! ”

"What do you want you to do?" Zhang Qingting pulled him back, "Didn't you see Yulian when we were cooking?" I sent her to do that, and she's already soaked! Only that snow satin is really a little difficult to get, just go to see, a foot away is a big hole, more than half of it can't be used, it can't be used to make skirts and clothes, it can only be matched to make clothes, it's a pity that it's a good material! ”

Zhao Chengcai helped her come up with ideas, "Can't you be like you used to make clothes with other materials?" Isn't it nice to add a side embroidered with flowers? ”

Zhang Qingting shook his head, "In the past, it was all bad material, so you can mix and match it." But this time the ingredients themselves are good, just like a peony, if you insist on giving it another peony, it won't show any better. Say, "What if you make clothes for a child out of that material?" She frowned again and felt that it was inappropriate, "How can any child wear white?" ”

"Is it just the wrong color? Children crawl around all day long, poop and urine, get white clothes, and bury them in two clicks! If you really don't have any use, it's better to make two close-fitting clothes, the material is so good, even if you fight it, it doesn't matter much! ”

Zhang Qingting's eyes suddenly lit up, "That's right! It's a good idea to make some belly pockets out of that material. She suddenly became worried again, "But how can we see people with the appearance of that cloth?" I can't afford to sell for a price. ”

Zhao Chengcai said casually, "If you can't afford to sell it, you might as well give it to others for nothing!" It's also pleasing to people. ”

Yes! Zhang Qingting had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and pulled Zhao Chengcai excitedly, "Xianggong, you are really smart!" Let's cut this snow satin and give it to the guests who came to buy clothes. This is not only a free gift, but of course there is no need to pick and choose. They can make some small clothes or embroider a handkerchief if they like, and we don't have to spend that time! ”

Zhao Chengcai broke her true thoughts, "Then, you can secretly add this price!" ”

Zhang Qingting chuckled, "Is this his confidant Mo Ruofu?" ”

"Like a child!" Zhao Chengcai glanced at her, but his eyes were full of doting, and he thought of a key question, "Even if you make clothes, where can you sell them?" You can't set up a stall for such a good thing, right? ”

"I've also thought about this, just like selling that clothes in the past, make a few sets, and go to the street to find a shop to sell on behalf of you, now since the Meng family is going to help, maybe they still have a good one to introduce."

Zhao Chengcai nodded, but asked, "Then why didn't you think about selling it at home?" That's the only one, wouldn't it make more money? If I'm afraid that I won't have any money, I'll borrow a little from Master Lou! ”

Zhang Qingting shook his head, "Although it is a rare thing to sell home, there are few rich people after all, and it must be sold slowly." The neighbors at home are familiar with each other, so it's always difficult for us to steal other people's business. There are many rich people in the capital, and the return of money must be faster. If there is really interest, let's just bring some other rare goods back! ”

Zhao Chengcai was appreciative, "Sure enough, there is progress!" Not only does you love money, but you will also get money in a good way! ”

Zhang Qingting smiled, but said, "That Qiao Ergong is a really powerful person!" ”

The two of them talked about it again on the pillow, and then they stopped.

The next day he rested at home, Zhang Qingting took people to buy vegetables and clean up the cloth, but he didn't ask Zhao Chengcai to help, only let him concentrate on the book, "You are, don't delay for our little things, that's what is called putting the cart before the horse!" ”

Zhao Chengcai closed the door with a smile and only read the sage books. Meng Shangde sent a bookkeeper to send a lot of books, and Zhao Chengcai flipped through the ten lines at a glance, so that he had a rough idea in his heart.

Bi Tao served Mrs. Meng for breakfast, and she also came over. Zhang Qingting was also not polite, and asked her to find a few rough envoys to wash and dry the cloth first. Those pieces of ingredients were soaked in rice washing water overnight, and sure enough, the traces were much lighter, and then rubbed with soap, all of them were bright again.

It took a long time to wash and dry the cloth. Looking at the beautiful color of these cloths blooming again under the sun, the well-informed Bi Tao was amazed, "I can't complain that the old lady asked us to come with you, look at this cloth is completely different under your hands!" But what are you going to do? ”

Well, I haven't decided yet.
