Chapter 229 Sending Love
After Mo Li left the large exhibition hall, he was not in a hurry to return to the rented shop in Yunshang Pavilion, but went into various silk shops from time to time to take a few looks. Although I am in contact with these things on weekdays, I have never seen so many colors of silk at once, so I am almost dazzled when I look at it in a row, and the red beans that follow me are even more staggering.
"No wonder there are words and phrases in the book, such as 'Ten thousand miles of clouds and Luo Yiyan flying, Luo Suqi Jisheng article, such words." Mo Li touched a red-bottomed entwined rose with gold silk from the south, and sighed secretly.
"We don't have that kind of material in the store." Hongdou was also amazed and touched the silk that could not find a trace of fault in both color and pattern, and then looked at Mo Li, and smiled, "I look at this material can be called the girl's complexion, the girl should not pull a few feet, this seems to be a new pattern in the south, taking advantage of the big exhibition, the price is cheaper than outside, and the girl can be tailored and worn after next year." β
A middle-aged man who looked like a shopkeeper walked over next to him, and said with a smile: "The girl is really good eyesight, this is our Wanxiangzhuang last month's new silk, called Jin Jin Rose Qi, the amount is not much, now don't talk about Jiangbei, it is in Jiangnan, if you want to buy it, you have to book it in advance." These are specially set aside by our host for the silk exhibition in Yongzhou, and the market has only opened today, and there are already several customers who have patronized it. β
"Golden Rose." Mo Li read these four words for a while, and then smiled, "This name is good, and the omen is good, it seems that the first name of this year's splendid list is going to be changed." β
As soon as the shopkeeper heard this, he felt that most of this girl was a peer, so he immediately smiled and arched his hand: "It turns out that the girl also cares about the ranking of the splendid list, I don't know if this silk can get into the eyes of the girl?" β
Mo Li smiled: "Wanxiangzhuang's silk this year is really no worse than last year's top list, it seems that Wanxiangzhuang will be congratulated in advance." β
The shopkeeper hurriedly smiled: "Cheng girl Jiyan, under the surname Lin, I don't know what the girl's noble name is, but the local merchants here in Yongzhou?" β
"Mojia Yunshang Pavilion, it's just a small shop, it's not as famous as Wanxiangzhuang in the south of the Yangtze River."
The name of Yunshang Pavilion has not yet spread to the south of the Yangtze River, but the name of the Mo family in Yongzhou is not small, so the shopkeeper of Nalin heard that Mo Li reported that he was out of the house, and he realized it, and then said with a smile while pondering the several kinds of silk that the Mo family is used to. It turned out to be the girl of the Mo family, a big silk merchant in Yongzhou, who was slack, and it was rare that Miss Mo was willing to come to my Wanxiangzhuang to see, the small shop was really shining. β
Mo Li said modestly, and then inquired with compliments: "I am used to hearing that in Jiangnan, only the materials produced by the Lin family Wanxiangzhuang can be compared with the Ji family, but today I heard that the Ji family only sent beauty satin to the exhibition, which makes people wonder." β
The shopkeeper stroked his beard, squinted and smiled: "Maybe the Ji family doesn't care about these false names anymore, anyway, the fame built in previous years is big enough, and now as long as you can earn money." β
"I don't know if this year's Jiangnan, the Ji family's horses are still as hot as in previous years?"
Maybe it's because of the mention of the Lin family's rivals for many years, the Lin shopkeeper has more words, and the news revealed is also a little more: "It's really hot, but that's because the Ji family's output this year is more than half less than in previous years." β
"Oh, why is that?"
"Most of them heard that the port here in Jiangbei is going to be opened, so the Ji family wants to move the trade to Jiangbei." Shopkeeper Lin sighed a little complicated as he spoke, and there was a bit of envy in his voice, "The Ji family has always been able to do business, and this year they deliberately pressed the amount of Jiangnan, and then took advantage of the opportunity of today's silk exhibition to pull the whole to Yongzhou. Look, this year's Silk Exhibition, most of the Ji family is making a lot of money. β
"Is itΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·" After Mo Li heard the news, he smiled faintly, then turned his head to look out, and among the people outside, he could still see the silk and satin full of eyes. Is it really deliberately suppressing the amount in the south, or is it impossible to produce so much in the first place? I don't know if Ji Yufeng will come forward in the past few days of the Silk Exhibition?
"The girl doesn't like this golden brocade rose?" Seeing that Mo Li was about to say goodbye and leave, and then looked at the maid beside him and glanced at his own silk qi, the shopkeeper Lin asked casually.
"Wanxiangzhuang's silk is excellent, but I can't use such a bright material for the time being." Mo Li smiled, shook his head slightly, and said a few more polite words, and then left with the red beans and continued to investigate the market of other families.
It's just that after entering and leaving seven or eight silk shops, after several comparisons, the red beans are even more obsessed: "I think it's still the golden brocade roses of Wanxiangzhuang, if you use it to make a cloak, the girl will look good when she puts it on." The girl should have bought a few feet just now, even if she can't wear it now, she can cut her clothes and put them away. β
After Mo Li came out of a shop, he glanced at the red beans: "If you like it, I will ask Jia Hei to sell you a few feet in a while, and it is time to add new clothes for you, and it is appropriate to make a skirt for you in that color." β
Hongdou's face was stunned: "How can I wear such good materials." β
"It's always going to be dressed." Mo Li suddenly smiled, "Don't say anything else, after marrying you off, I will add a few horses to this material." β
Hongdou's face turned red, and then he said angrily: "I really think about the girl, but the girl makes fun of me." β
Mo Li shook his head and smiled: "Although the Shixing workshop does not have a holy silk, but the golden brocade and roses are not inferior to the golden brocade roses, why don't I see you so worried." β
"Isn't that because the silk is a rose pattern, and the girl used to love to embroider roses on a handkerchief." When Hongdou said this, he glanced at Mo Li, and then added carefully, "There is also the shadow lamp that Ah Sheng repaired for the second girl, which is also painted with roses."
Mo Li was stunned, so he glanced at the red bean, and the red bean was sneering, and then quickly turned his head to look at both sides, looking for fresh patterns of silk. Mo Li looked at Hongdou's innocent appearance, sighed in his heart, shook his head with a wry smile, and then walked towards Yunshang Pavilion.
"Did the owner go to Wanxiangzhuang just now?" After the two returned to Yunshang Pavilion, Jia Hei happened to greet a guest, and after looking at Mo Li and Hongdou, he hurriedly walked over and asked.
"How do you know?" Mo Li nodded in surprise.
"That's right, just now Wanxiangzhuang sent two good silk to the owner, saying that it was for the owner, and it happened that I wasn't there at that time, and it was Noble to accept it." Jia Hei said and asked the man to take out the two horses, and continued. I remember that this formula is new to Wanxiangzhuang, I was going to take a look at it in the afternoon, but I didn't think that the owner would buy it back directly, I don't know how much money the owner spent? β
It turned out to be the golden brocade rose, Mo Li was stunned, and even glanced at the red bean, and the red bean was also full of surprise.
"I just stayed at Wanxiangzhuang for a while, but I didn't sell this, did they send it to the wrong place?"
Jia Hei was stunned for a moment, then looked at Noble Treasure, Noble was also stunned, and then hurriedly said: "That's right, when that person sent it, I asked it specifically, and said that it was for the owner." β
Mo Li frowned slightly, touched the two silk horses, and then asked, "Do you want to say it to the owner of Yunshang Pavilion, or to me?" β
Noble was a little confused by this question, this, isn't this a person?
Jia Hei understood what Mo Li meant, and explained: "Did the person who sent the horse mention the name of the owner?" What did he say? β
Noble hurriedly said: "Mentioned, after he came in, he first asked if this was Yunshang Pavilion, and then handed the two horses over to the owner, and then added a sentence, to the owner of Yunshang Pavilion, Mo, Mo Li." β
Mo Li's face was even more puzzled, so he glanced at the red bean: "I was there just now, and I didn't say whether my name was or not." β
Hongdou nodded, but then said with some hesitation: "But the girl has said that Yunshang Pavilion, so it should not be difficult to inquire about the girl's name." β
Mo Li shook his head: "It's not strange to ask, but why do you need to send me such expensive materials, and I also sent two horses at once, I didn't have much friendship with him before, even the Mo family rarely dealt with Wanxiangzhuang." β
Hongdou thought simply, and said, "Maybe I want to make friends with Mo Jiapan." β
Mo Li shook his head, thought about it, and said to Noble Treasure: "You take these two horses to Wan Xiangrui and ask, if they are mistaken." They sent this material to earn the top spot on the gold list, and if the guys in his shop were busy and made a mistake, they would not be able to come back and talk about it. β
Jia Hei stood aside and touched his chin and pondered about it, but after thinking about it for a while, he couldn't figure it out, so he muttered casually: "Isn't that brother of the son specially courteous, but he didn't leave a name......
Mo Li glanced at him, and then asked Noble to go quickly, Jia Hei was happy, and when he saw that there would be another guest coming to the door, he turned around and beckoned the guest to go.
After a while, Noble came back with the two horses again.
"The shopkeeper in the store said that someone bought it and asked the guys in the store to send it to the owner."
"I guessed it!" After listening to this, Jia Hei pricked up his ears and whispered, and then hurriedly walked over and asked, "Have you asked who bought this horse?" What is it called? What does it look like? Where are the people? β
Noble was dizzy for a while, and couldn't answer for a while.
Jia Hei rolled his eyes and said, "Silly boy, seeing that you must have not asked, you came back stupidly, go, run again, ask." β
Noble was about to go out, but Mo Li stopped him: "Forget it, let's get busy with the things in the store first." β
Jia Hei thought about it, and then smiled: "Then let's get busy first." β
As soon as he spoke, he saw Second Master Mo walking in from outside, Mo Li withdrew his gaze from the two golden brocade roses, straightened his thoughts, and said to Jia Hei and Second Master Mo: "Although Ding Xiangnan couldn't come over due to illness, and his presiding over was replaced by the other nine main members of the Silk Bank, but among the nine members, only the third cousin was selected, and the remaining nine, at least five of them were originally on Ding Xiangnan's side." So after a while, the big exhibition hall should release the news that the Ji family has begun to sell the goods. β
Second Master Mo nodded, and then glanced at Mo Li: "It's beyond your expectations." β
Mo Li smiled and didn't say anything.
Jia Hei hesitated for a while and said: "The Ji family is not the Ji family, we can't take care of it now, now that Ding Xiangnan is not here, it is an opportunity for Yunshang Pavilion to participate in the ranking of the Splendid List this year, although most of those members of the silk line are on Ding Xiangnan's side, but they have no enmity with the Mo family." β
As Mo Li expected, the silk exhibition had only started for a short time, and most of the merchants were in a wait-and-see attitude, and there was no big movement in the transactions of each family. In the large exhibition hall, Yongzhou Silk Store released a news that the materials of the Ji family this autumn will be sold in the large exhibition hall immediately.
Sure enough, as soon as the news was released in the name of the silk shop, no one doubted those horses, whether they were businessmen who were waiting to buy the Ji family's horses, or businessmen who were just going to see the market first, they all rushed to the big exhibition hall one after another.
On the first day of the Yongzhou Silk Exhibition, the Ji family got off to a good start and became the protagonist. When everyone was only negotiating a few hundred taels of transactions, the Ji family suddenly broke out a figure of 50,000 transactions, which made countless people red-eyed and countless people sighed. Even Mo Li didn't sigh secretly, the Ji family's reputation was extremely influential, and now she finally saw it with her own eyes. Many businessmen didn't even look at the materials, and went directly to order with the order.
The next day, the momentum of the Ji family continued to rise, and the transaction amount exceeded 100,000, and soon reached 160,000.
On the third day, the momentum of the Ji family still did not stop, and in the afternoon, the transaction amount of Pi material suddenly exceeded 300,000 taels.
After Jia Hei heard this number from Second Master Mo in surprise, his mouth clicked for a while, and then he sighed with envy: "There are still five days in the future, look at the momentum, they have to have a million amounts, I'm afraid they can sell them in the end." β
Yongzhou is on the edge of the Yongjiang River in the north-south transport port, and since a few years ago, Yongzhou has opened a direct port to the Western route, so the supply and demand of silk, tea, lacquerware, ceramics and so on in Jokhang have increased dramatically. Silk alone is transported from Yongzhou to various places every year, and there are two million taels of silver. And most of these amounts are naturally divided by the major wealthy merchant families, and the silver of the white flowers flows into the pockets of each family, and others naturally do not want to follow over to get a piece of the pie.
No matter how blessed the Ji family is, there is no reason to see the silver, but they don't want to earn it. What's more, the Ji family, which has lasted for a hundred years, earns a lot of silver and spends a lot. So sometimes, even if it's a little risky, they won't miss the opportunity to fill their wallets.
"How many deals have we negotiated in the past few days?" Mo Li didn't seem to hear Jia Hei's words, and after counting the things in the store, he asked.
"Only sixteen thousand taels." Jia Hei sighed a little and said, if it was usual, this amount would be enough to make him laugh for a few days and not be able to sleep, after all, it has only been three days, and it is really incredible that he can talk about such an amount in three days. But as long as it is compared with the huge amount of the Ji family, no matter how big the joy is, it will be greatly discounted.
Mo Li said while looking at the account books: "Well, the transactions of the eighteen gentlemen account for most of them, and the thousands of flowers only account for 20%. β
Jia Hei walked over and said: "Originally, the Qianhua was also our main promoter, but it just so happened that the Ji family also brought a red silk similar to the Qianhua this time, which seems to be called Sunset." β
Mo Li nodded, closed the account book and smiled: "This amount is very good, the day after tomorrow, the splendid list will come out, and after the thousands of flowers go up, the trade will be fine." β
"But in my opinion, when the time comes, the name of Sunset on the Splendid List will definitely cover up a thousand flowers, and the price of Sunset is about the same as our Thousand Flowers. And then, those stupid guys with a lot of money have spent all the money that should be spent, and in the end, there is really not a few silver left to patronize our side! β
"I know, so let's just wait for them to return it, the more sunsets they set right now, the better it will be for us, it's all a potential deal.
Jia Hei looked at Mo Li for a while, and then leaned closer and said, "Owner, where did you get such a big confidence to think that they would definitely return the goods?" β
Mo Li smiled: "Didn't you say that they are stupid and have a lot of money." β
Jia Hei sighed: "That's why they can't see that our material is good, a pair of eyes, it only makes people deceiveΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·" When Jia Hei said this, he suddenly stopped, then looked at Mo Li, and said in a low voice, "Dongjia, although I have always been suspicious, but the current situation is not very optimistic." β
Mo Li patted the ledger in his hand, and then said, "Wait." β
In this world, nothing is absolute, and nothing she really dares to say that she is 100% sure.
Ding Xiangnan was watched by the Ji family, and was even threatened, she couldn't interfere in such a thing, but someone could.
"Hey, these two horses, the owner hasn't brought them back yet?" Jia Heizheng
Mo Li said while looking at the account books: "Well, the transactions of the eighteen gentlemen account for most of them, and the thousands of flowers only account for 20%. β
Jia Hei walked over and said: "Originally, the Qianhua was also our main promoter, but it just so happened that the Ji family also brought a red silk similar to the Qianhua this time, which seems to be called Sunset." β

In this world, nothing is absolute, and nothing she really dares to say that she is 100% sure.
Ding Xiangnan was watched by the Ji family, and was even threatened, she couldn't interfere in such a thing, but someone could.
"Hey, these two horses, the owner hasn't brought them back yet?" Jia Hei is in the right place
