Chapter 67, for the sake of the self-pleasing tole
Different from ordinary shops, the middle hall of Jinzhuang is much larger than the back hall, and it is open to the sun, so it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a middle hall. There are three tailors resident in Jinzhuang, plus their respective apprentices, a total of eight people cut cloth and make clothes in the side room on the right side of the central hall.
Jinzhuang's tailoring skills are excellent, and the asking price is also extremely high, so only the Gaomen clan actually chooses to make clothes in the village, Qin Song used to think that this is a loss-making business, which clan does not have a tailor for their own use, and the tailor shop opened by the shopkeeper of Song will definitely not be able to operate.
However, the good reputation of slow work and meticulous work was made famous by the shopkeeper of Song, so he even brought the wealthy families in other cities outside Xiangcheng to make clothes here, and since the appearance of this compartment, the business has never been interrupted.
"How long will Miss stay in Xiangcheng this time? Will these materials be shipped back to Beijing and Zhou later, or will Tailor Zhang measure the size first? "Shopkeeper Song didn't know the main purpose of Qin Song's trip to Xiangcheng, thinking that it was still usual to visit relatives in the Chu family, and the time would not be long.
Qin Song carefully touched the hand of the blue and white brocade for a while, the question of the shopkeeper Song was to the point, according to the current situation, even if the epidemic and poison in Yuyan were properly solved, Zhou Tianlei's lockdown order would not be lifted immediately, and the most suitable thing for blue and white brocade was to make light summer clothes, and when it arrived in the country, they were thinking about what clothes to make, I was afraid that it would be autumn.
Blue and white brocade is hard-won, she cherishes it very much, and will not use it to make out-of-season clothes.
"Let's do it first, I haven't worn Tailor Zhang's craftsmanship for a long time." After thinking about it, she still couldn't resist the temptation of blue and white brocade, and then smiled: "I don't know how many sets of clothes Tailor Zhang has in a row, how long do I have to wait?" ”
"Miss doesn't give up my craft, how can there be any reason to queue up." A refreshing female voice sounded behind the screen, and then a middle-aged woman wearing a man's dress with long hair stepped out, and at first glance she was a capable and neat craftsman. As soon as Qin Song arrived at the shop, she heard the voice, but the work in her hand couldn't stop immediately, so she had to come out to receive her after she was patiently done.
"Sister Zhang." Qin Song greeted her with a sweet smile, the reason why she attracted the love of the rigid and serious Tailor Zhang was that when she met for the first time when she was a child, she shouted "sister" when she opened her mouth, and Tailor Zhang was happy until now, and she never forgot to design a few sets of new clothes for Qin Song when she was free.
There are very few female craftsmen, but because Tailor Zhang is a woman, she is unique in making women's skirts.
The two women chattered about the style of the dress, the length of the skirt, and even some intimate topics, and it didn't take long for them to go inside and measure the size. Zhou Tianyi propped up her cheeks and watched Qin Song's every move without boredom, her carefully selected entanglements and the appearance of advancing and retreating and discussing with the tailor were very similar to the bride who was prepared before marriage, just looking at it made him happy.
It wasn't until Qin Song entered the inner room that his gaze turned to other places and took a closer look at this central hall.
Shopkeeper Song stood aside respectfully, did not leave, nor did he step forward to greet the young man brought by the young lady. can come in the same car with Miss, the other party must be a guest, but Miss has never introduced him to him, thinking that he is not here to do business with Jinzhuang.
However, Miss's attitude towards him was different from that of any of his previous companions, but he clearly saw that when Tailor Zhang took out various samples and compared them to Miss, Miss would look in his direction from time to time, and he would only seriously consider which dress to make when he reacted.
Women are pleasing to themselves, could it be......
Thinking about it like this, Shopkeeper Song looked at Zhou Tianyi even more unpleasantly.
He crisscrossed the mall, and he had many friends all over the country, but he had never seen this person. A little-known small businessman also wants to marry a young lady? Even if you have good looks and character, you can't do it! Miss has suffered countless powerless losses in the past, and now if she wants to find a husband, she must be a man who can support her!
Zhou Tianyi noticed that the shopkeeper Song was not kind to him, and it is said that the older a person gets, the more stubborn he becomes, and he naturally will not touch the nail without interest.
The north window of the central hall could see the small street on the side of Jinzhuang, and he looked more to the outside. Even the inconspicuous small streets are orderly, without the slightest feeling of smoke and miasma without sunlight in Yangcheng. This orderly prosperity should be closely related to the Chu clan who protects Xiangcheng.
He once asked Qin Song about the livelihood of the Chu family, and Qin Song told him that the ancestors of the Chu family had been studying mathematics for a long time, and for a period of time after the disintegration of Zhuhua, the category of mathematics was regarded as a sideline and was suppressed very badly for a while. And now, the Chu clan has hidden the method of mathematics and makes a living by designing mansions for people.
Zhou Tianyi is a little unconvinced, he only does the business of mansion design, and his power and potential energy can wrap Xiangcheng as the center of Yuyan?
The Chu family must not stop there.
"Childe, Miss, please go to the back hall." When Yuesheng returned to the middle hall, there was no one else in the compartment where Zhou Tianyi was, and the shopkeeper Song had been chatting with the young lady in the back hall for a long time, thinking that His Royal Highness King Zhao would soon run to the back hall, but he didn't wait for anyone to come.
"Okay." Zhou Tianyi responded, retracted his outward gaze and followed Yuesheng to the back hall.
They happened to meet the shopkeeper Song who came out at the door of the back hall, the old man just nodded politely, Yuesheng wanted to come forward to remind, but was stopped by Zhou Tianyi shaking his head, looking at the back of the shopkeeper Song, Zhou Tianyi's mind only came out of three words - old stubborn.
"Shopkeeper Song has no disrespect, His Royal Highness has a lot, please don't worry about him." Although the shopkeeper Song didn't know Zhou Tianyi's identity, he did it again and again, and it was by no means a way of hospitality.
"There are extenuating circumstances, and those who don't know are not guilty." Zhou Tianyi said slowly, but after thinking about it, he felt innocent again, "Did I do something to make the old shopkeeper unhappy?" ”
Looking at Zhou Tianyi's confused expression, Qin Song covered his mouth and laughed out loud, "No." Maybe...... Shopkeeper Song thinks that 'Zou Yi' is powerless and powerful, and he can't protect me, right? She joked that she heard her father say that the shopkeeper Song was a self-made man with no foundation, and he must have suffered a lot of white eyes in the past.
Zhou Tianyi was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened slightly, and he looked a little surprised, then he also laughed, raised his eyebrows and said to Qin Song: "Looking at the entire Quartet, if this king can't protect you, who else dares to say that he can?" "King Zhao of the Quartet, even if the people of the neighboring countries see him, they don't dare to act rashly, let alone their own country?
They seemed to have taken the topic away, and seeing that Zhou Tianyi didn't mean to blame Shopkeeper Song, Qin Song put down his heart and turned around and took him into the back hall, "Don't talk about this, Shopkeeper Song told me something, about the Feng family." ”
Ever since he knew the power of the Feng family, this family had become a problem in his heart, and now that he had information, Zhou Tianyi calmed down and motioned for Qin Song to continue.
"A few months ago, Feng made a big deal with Jinzhuang. Feng purchased a large number of sturdy heckle materials and cotton cloths. ”
Coarse materials and cotton cloth are used for a wide range of purposes, but when associated with Feng, it is natural to think that Feng's purchase of these is to make clothes for private soldiers, that is, Feng's suspicion of expanding the number of private soldiers.
"......" Zhou Tianyi didn't make a sound when he heard it, and other things that were done secretly may not be discovered, but private soldiers are people, there are so many more people for no reason, can they still be ignorant and unaware? But in the past few months, even when he was on the front line, he had never received any news of Feng's expansion of private troops, which was really strange.
"Your Highness?"
Zhou Tianyi thought about it intently, even if Qin Song was close at hand, her voice seemed to be floating from a distance, he turned his head sideways as if he woke up from a dream, and then remembered that he had forgotten to give her a response, so he nodded, "Feng's matter has to continue to be investigated, King Qi really lost a lot of trouble to me, and I can't do it if I don't share the weal and woe with him." "Bitter smile, he has already followed the path of King Qi, it is related to the peace of the Quartet, and he can't retreat, so he can only move forward.
"If the Feng clan really has intentions against the Quartet, sooner or later they will show their fangs, and Your Highness doesn't have to be too careful."
"You always pick up the good ones." Zhou Tianyi smiled relievedly, and then looked outside the house, "King Qi kicked me in half of such a big trouble, how can I be responsible for the starting point." The direction he looked at was the northwest of the four directions, the position of the fifth watch, "Don't worry, Feng's is the fifth greater problem, and he is more anxious than me." ”
The Feng clan is involved in neighboring countries, even if he is in a hurry, he can only be patient and wait, but at the moment he has another question he wants to ask Qin Song, "Qin Song, you are also a relative of the Chu clan, what is this, do you know?" Zhou Tianyi took out the peach wood card that Chu Yan gave him and asked.
The workmanship of the peach wood brand was similar to the peach hairpin given to her by her second cousin, and she suddenly remembered the Chu family's treasures that her mother had mentioned to her, and blurted out: "This is the Chu family's Qimen Five Elements Order." The name of this little object sounds very mysterious, in Qin Song's eyes, everything related to mathematics is something outside the sky, she can't understand it, and she can't understand it, but her mother once told her about the role of this thing, but her mother said it too profoundly, she ...... I can't remember.
"This thing should be carried on the body to avoid danger, Your Highness is good to keep it, don't leave it during the Yuyan period." Qin Song said vaguely that she vaguely knew that the "Qimen Five Elements Order" was related to the various organs set up by the Chu family, but if she didn't say it clearly, Zhou Tianyi would not be able to answer it if she asked deeply.
It's just that the second cousin gave this thing to King Zhao, what is the purpose? Do you think that the rest of the Chu clan will be unfavorable to Zhou Tianyi? Qin Song had a headache, and she found that she couldn't be at peace anywhere recently.
"I see." Zhou Tianyi nodded in response, checked the sign, and put it in his pocket.
"Qimen Five Elements Order" is the property of the Chu family of the 12th family of Zhuhua, if it was only fifty percent before, then now he has eighty percent certainty that this Xiangcheng Chu family is the hidden family Chu family after the division of Zhuhua!
In this way, a few days ago, many of the places he was suspicious of could be connected, and the people of the Chu family were able to pinch and calculate, and integrate this skill into the design, and the mansions built were all blessed mansions from the purple east, and the income was considerable. And the Chu family is originally from Yuyan, and it has a foundation of thousands of years in the local area, even if the power is not as good as before, it is no problem to dominate Xiangcheng.
and Chu Yan, he is a talent, but he still needs to be sharpened, and he can't help but take him to Jingzhou.
"This trip to Yuyan is really worth it."
Then, the two chatted comfortably in the back hall for a while before they got up with the idea of returning to Chu's house.
As soon as Zhou Tianyi arrived at his residence, he wrote a letter to the King of Qi, saying that he wanted to know all the information about the Feng family that the King of Qi had, which was also the first condition for him to measure Jiang Yan's sincerity in cooperating with him.
