After going around for a long time, my father still talked about the problem, and I pretended not to understand, and lowered my head and didn't make a sound. , the latest chapter access: ШШШ.79xs.СоМ . My father also understood my thoughts, as if he were talking to himself:

"Although my Su family has been in business for a hundred years, it has really developed in the past 20 years, and the foundation is unstable. The ancestors failed to look far ahead and pave the way for future generations. Therefore, when the Su family's financial resources gradually swelled like a snowball, it was extremely difficult to move forward, stumbling along the way, and there were many things, I had to take precautions and prepare in advance. ”

I carelessly tugged at the 'hair' of the long plush 'hair' blanket under my body, still silent, I knew that my father would soon bring up the matter, talking about my entry into the palace, how should I refuse, can be tactful and firm, so that my father completely dispelled this idea?

The outside of the car gradually became lively and noisy, thinking that the carriage had entered the market, and even inside the car, you could feel a prosperous atmosphere of traffic.

But my father stopped talking and pulled the curtains open on the window.

At the entrance of the eye, the roadside shops are lined with gray ridges and green tiles; Pedestrians are bustling, leisurely and peaceful; The vendors dragged out their soft tones and enthusiastically shouted at passers-by. The warm sun of the afternoon on a 'spring' day gilds this vivid picture with a layer of gentle gold, and the hustle and bustle is full of tranquility.

Although I sat upright on the carriage, I felt that I had become one with the scene, and the laziness of my body vanished, and I happily lifted the curtain and looked out.

My father didn't stop me, and pointed out the rouge gouache or the 'delicate' embroidered sachets on the side of the street, and asked me if I liked it.

It happened that there was a scholar who set up a stall to hand-paint kites, and the house was boring and boring, so I pointed out a few styles, sent a little servant to buy them and put them in the carriage, planning to go back to the house to give the sisters for fun.

Whether it was the shopkeeper or the man, or the pedestrians and pawns on the street, they all respectfully backed away when they saw their father's carriage, and greeted him warmly. There was even more enthusiastic stall owner, who wrapped the food sold in his stall with lotus leaves, chased into the carriage, and handed it in from the window.

The father was not humble, so he took out a xiaolongbao and took a bite in front of the man, his mouth was full of oil, and he inhaled straight into the mouth, raised his cuffs and wiped it, and said that it was delicious, and he hated to swallow his tongue together. The stall owner smiled and proudly showed off to the vendors around him, but he did not accept the copper plate handed by the servant.

The carriage slowly passed the whole street, but did not stop, and went straight to the north of the city, and my father pointed me all the way to tell me which shop was the property of my Su family, what kind of business it operated, and which pedestrian was wearing the brocade produced by my Su family, what name, and what advantages it had.

I remembered the rumor that "there are seven people in the world and one Su", so I curiously asked my father if this was true, whether it was exaggerated.

My father smiled with great satisfaction, full of pride: "Not only is it a Su for seven people, in Yangzhou City, Jiangnan, my Su family almost monopolizes the brocade industry, and there is almost no market for foreign cloth here."

This is not only because my Su family's brocade is soft and beautiful, the price is fair, the cloth is strong and durable, and the color is uniform, but the main reason is that almost all of my profits in Yangzhou City are used to repair bridges and pave roads, and give soup porridge and medicine. For the villagers in difficulty, he is not stingy and generous. I have a heart for the folks here, and the folks naturally sell me thin noodles and repay me very much. ”

My father's words made me rediscover him. It is no wonder that there are so many aunts in the house, each with their own merits, and they are all dead set on their father. My father was indeed a wise, unconventional man with his own unique charm and appealing peace.

The carriage gradually went out of the city, speeding up, slightly bumping, the greenery was verdant, the birds were singing and butterflies dancing, the water was murmuring, and the artistic conception of "the cicada noise forest was more quiet, and the birdsong mountain was more secluded".

I didn't understand what my father meant, so I just focused on the scenery outside the car window, and from time to time I reached out to reach for the 'flower' branches on the side of the road. The father leaned back on the cushion and closed his eyes, looking tired.

The carriage eventually stopped at the foot of a mountain.

The little guy lowered his hand and said respectfully: "Master, Miss Eleven, it has arrived." ”

My father got out of the car with me, and he smiled and said to me, "Eleven, I'll take you to a good place, this mountain should be no problem for you, right?" ”

I glanced up, although the mountain is high, it is not steep, and among the beautiful peaks near Yangzhou City, it should also belong to the more majestic. But for me, who has been wild in the mountains since I was a child, it was a piece of cake. Then he smiled playfully at his father: "Or do you want to have a try?" ”

The father also became interested in an instant, shook his 'spirit', tied up the front of his clothes, tied them into his belt, and rubbed his hands: "Then go along this mountain road, there is a pine tree at the peak, unique, take that as the end, bet on a meal of crystal hooves and lotus leaf sauce fragrant 'chicken' in Tianxiang Pavilion at night." ”

Before he could finish speaking, I rushed out first, and shouted back, "Cheng 'Jiao'!" Don't cheat! ”

The trail was rough and there were occasional thorns, and I don't know why my father had brought me here. It's just that the strong and competitive 'sex' came up, and he felt that he couldn't let his father underestimate him, so he climbed up a rugged sheep intestine path, leaving his father far behind.

Eventually, my father slowed me down, and when I leaned under the pine tree and wiped the sweat off my forehead, my father came up panting, laughing and teasing for his age.

He took a breath, took a breath, took a breath, pulled me up, and stood at the very top of the mountain, on a flat rock. Standing in the wind, overlooking the mountain, the whole Yangzhou city is in full view, but there is indeed a sense of "will be the top of the mountain, a glance at the mountains" of the majestic feeling.

My father pointed to Yangzhou City at the foot of the mountain and asked me with great interest: "Eleven, what do you think of the scenery of Yangzhou City?" ”

The wind on the top of the mountain is a little strong, different from the warm breeze in the city, slightly drunk, still with a chill that blows people's spirits.

Yangzhou City at the foot of the mountain is the smoke willow like weaving, the peach overflowing fireworks 'flower' season, the willow 'color' is green and presumptuous, continuous dripping green, the peach 'flower' is blooming, not yet a piece of brocade like enchanting, the stars are dotted, the beauty is subtle. The peach willow fights for 'spring', the warbler sings and the swallow dances, the beautiful and elegant houses of Yangzhou City are integrated into it, the pavilions and pavilions are scattered, showing the elegant charm of Langyuan Yao Chi and Qionglou 'jade' Yu. There is also the light of the ten-mile lake, which is clear and ethereal. The lonely sail is far away, and the 'wave' light is faint, which is more and more refreshing.

I searched my stomach and searched for a poem with charm to praise this scene, but I was depressed to find that there was too little ink in my stomach, which ruined the scenery.

I had to say casually: "I want to compare it to the ink-splashed landscape, the 'color' color is slightly inferior, and the 'desire' is compared to the ethereal fairyland. ”

The father clapped his hands and laughed: "What a 'forgetful one'!" Rao is 'the West Lake bends the water, the green willows on both sides of the river sandwich the red peach, the painting boat gently pulls out the green water, and the west in the lake is more enchanting', and the poems and sentences that have been passed down through the ages are not as wonderful as Xiao Eleven's sentence 'can forget worries'! I usually come here when I have a depression and I can't express myself, and I sit quietly for a while, and my troubles will disappear. ”

My father's excitement grew, and he stretched out his arms to the wind, letting the wind blow the wide sleeves of his coat into the hunt. He pointed to the rows of shops in Yangzhou City under the mountain, and asked me: "Look at those starry peacock blues, do you know what they are?" ”

I looked at it, and there were indeed a lot of peacock blue dots between the gray bricks and green tiles, which could be vaguely distinguished, and they were some signboards fluttering in the wind.

"Could it be that is the signboard of my Su family's shop?" I asked hesitantly, and I couldn't believe it, it was dense, like a star.

The father smiled proudly: "Yes, wherever there is a peacock blue signboard, it is my Su family's shop or industry."

Over the years, I have not only been satisfied with the business of cloth, weaving and dyeing, embroidery, ready-to-wear, etc., but also involved in the business of money farms, rice grains, 'medicine' materials and so on. I don't dare to be too public, and I don't dare to attract jealousy, and I am operating in the name of different businesses.

The peacock blue brocade used to be the only 'door' bleaching and dyeing technique of my Su family, the "color" luster is colorful, the cost is low, and the technology is incomparable in the whole Chang'an. In that year, it was popular in the Chang'an Dynasty, from high-ranking officials and dignitaries to peddlers and pawns, all of them rushed to buy. That is the foundation of my Su family's fortune.

Now, I use it as a symbol of my Su family's industry, regardless of the name, all hang peacock blue signboards, which have spread all over the provinces near the south of the Yangtze River. This is my father's life's work, my achievement. ”

The father held his head high, 'straightened' and 'chest', and talked eloquently, with a great sense of high-spiritedness to guide the country.

No wonder, my father loved it. Who said that "the height is not cold", no matter which man he is, standing on the top of this mountain, standing against the wind, overlooking his proud achievements, he will also be full of 'passion' and rekindle his vigorous fighting spirit.

But my heart was gloomy, sour. Because I was very young in Jinling City, I noticed this kind of brocade clothes, and I was very 'glamorous' and envious, and I felt that it was really like the peacock's tail feathers in the painting, and I felt a deep hatred for the shops that took the trouble to make signboards.

And more than once I muttered to the master, who rubbed my head and was silent. But on my birthday that year, I was overjoyed to have a dress like that sewn for me.

Today, when I have gradually forgotten, I know that the brocades that I stomp my feet to regret are my own. This also shows that there are also Su family's industries everywhere in Jinling City.

Then, there should be someone from the Su family who goes to Jinling City every year to check the business operation. Even if my father can't do it himself, what about my brothers, what about the housekeepers, and my so-called distant relatives?

For more than ten years, except for Aunt Jiu, no one went to Yunwu Mountain to see me, and they ignored me! I have only received more than 20 letters from Aunt Jiu and all kinds of beautiful but ill-fitting clothes. The messenger never brought a greeting from home.

I have always been naïve to think that my father and brother are too busy to be separated by the long way away.

My heart instantly cooled, as if sinking to the bottom of the sea, and my whole body was cold.

I was originally just a 'girl' who was not favored, but now I just have a value that can be used, otherwise, will my father still remember me as a 'girl'?
