Chapter 047: Mistakenly Boarding a Thief Ship (2)

Early the next morning, the door of Ping'an Fang had just opened, and Qian Zhixin came with Mei Niang.

"Oh, sister, I really admire you so much, I haven't seen you for a few months, how did you become a Confucian businessman?" Mei Niang hugged Wang Qifang's arm affectionately, and said with a smile, "If I'm not mistaken, you are the first female Confucian merchant in the Great Zhou Dynasty." ”

Mei Niang is right, the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty are open, and there are not a few women who do business, but there is no one who can become a Confucian businessman in the past hundred years.

"Hehe, it's just a light stained with my father-in-law, it's not worth anything"

Wang Qifang actually doesn't use this as an excuse, others will guess this way after hearing about her relationship with the Zhao family. No way, the habitual thinking of the world.

"If it's someone else, I believe it," Mei Niang listened to Wang Qifang's words, shook her head, and said seriously, "But sister, I definitely don't believe that you are a member of the Confucian Business Association who only got it through relationships." ”

"Oh, you have so much faith in me?"

Wang Qifang didn't expect her status in Mei Niang's heart to be so high, she suddenly remembered something, glanced at Qian Zhixin who was following behind, lowered her head and whispered to Mei Niang, "By the way, has the matter of the princess's niece been settled?" ”

"Of course, it's settled, we have all donated the cotton plantation, and the cotton mill also has a signboard with an inscription, no matter how bold they are, they don't dare to get along with today," Mei Niang sneered, a touch of disdain flashed in her eyes, "Sister, don't you know, after I returned to the Qian family that day, after explaining the matter of the plantation in front of the old lady, their faces changed." Hmph, one moment ago, I thought that my mother's family had no support, and I was not worthy of the Qingzhou Qian family, and the next moment I came up and said that I was capable, Wangfu Wang's family. ”

"So, what about the kids?" Wang Qifang heard Mei Niang talk about her in the Qian family, just because Mei Niang is an only daughter, after her parents passed away, there was no brother support, and there were some people with ulterior motives in her husband's family who made a small calculation, and even Mrs. Qian was annoyed that her son was too obsessed with her daughter-in-law, so she directly hugged her grandson by her side and didn't let Mei Niang touch it.

"My husband spoke for me, and we brought the child back," Mei Niang mentioned the child, and the meanness on her face suddenly disappeared without a trace, replaced by a face full of love, she smiled very gently, "Fortunately, the child has a short time with his wife, and he doesn't remember anything, if it drags on for a few more years, even if he wants to come back, he will not be intimate with me." Speaking of which, thanks to you, sister, if you hadn't given me the shares of the plantation in the first place, my lord and wife would not have looked down on me, I-"

"Mei Niang, I don't like to hear you say this, what I was like when I was in Qingzhou, you know, it wasn't me who helped you at that time, but you helped me," Wang Qifang interrupted Mei Niang's words, with a bit of reminiscence in her tone, and said, "Moreover, I don't allow you to buy shares, it's your shares that you actually participate in with your own land, don't thank me anymore, okay." ”

“…… Okay," Mei Niang stopped, glanced at Wang Qifang deeply, and saw her face full of persistence, so it was difficult to say anything on this topic. Besides, as long as she remembers the good of the seventh sister in her heart, she will repay her more in the future, and there is no need to talk about it.

Thinking of this, Mei Niang suddenly thought of something, and then leaned into Wang Qifang's ear and said, "By the way, sister, last time you gave my second young master's idea, we tried it, and it was really good, women wear that kind of high-heeled shoes, and they do have a kind of charm when they walk." So I want to get this business off the ground. ”

"Okay, you can try it in the capital first, after all, the atmosphere here is more open, and those noble women are also willing to try new affairs," Wang Qifang was also happy when she heard that her idea was adopted by them, and she was also happy in her heart, she dedicated the partnership to the court for her own selfish interests, and she felt indebted to the Qian family and his wife, and now that she could help, the guilt in her heart was also reduced.

"Sister, it's not 'we', it's 'me'," Mei Niang's white and tender fingers quietly pointed behind her, and whispered: "The second young master of our family said that this is a matter of 'women's family', how can he be a big man in women's business?" But I felt that it was a pity to lose this business, so I thought I would give it a try. ”

Mei Niang wrinkled her nose, with a little coquettishness, and said, "But, sister, you know me, how can I do business." Why don't we partner and do a high-heeled business together? She still wanted to thank this sister.

"Partnership?" Wang Qifang and Mei Niang walked into the flower hall together, and after sitting down as the guest of honor, they pondered for a moment and nodded: "Well, okay, it just so happens that I have a large number of people here, and the cloth is also in supply, and the shop is also ready-made, and there is also the name of the Confucian Business Association, so it is estimated that it will be more convenient to operate." ”

A few days ago, the third princess also mentioned that there were hundreds of injured and disabled women in the barracks who had retired from the army, and asked her to help resettle them, and she was worried about where to arrange. If it is really as Mei Niang said, open a workshop with high heels, then hundreds of people will have jobs.

Moreover, it just so happens that she can make up for the loss of the Qian family's profits on the plantation from the high-heeled business, so that she will feel better, well, yes, it's worth a try

"Oh, sister, don't get me wrong, I didn't want to partner with you because I watched you become a Confucian businessman," Mei Niang was afraid that Wang Qifang would misunderstand, so she hurriedly waved her hand and explained, "I, I just want to, that, I don't want to borrow your light, it's just-"

"Hehe, okay, I know what you think," Wang Qifang saw that Mei Niang was so anxious that she began to stammer, and hurriedly smiled and comforted, "However, I can only give you thirty percent of the shares, but you have to bear the money invested in the early stage...... My Confucian merchant's signboard is not so casual. ”

"Eun, okay, I agree"

Although Mei Niang is simpler, she is not stupid, although Wang Qifang's words sound like she has suffered a loss, but as long as you calculate carefully, you will know that she still has a lot of advantages. Don't say anything else, but the name of a Confucian merchant is worth tens of millions.

She couldn't help but think of the fact that before the husband and wife came to the capital, when the news of the plantation being donated had just arrived in Qingzhou, the people of the Qian family suddenly changed their faces, and they all said some mean things openly and secretly, even the old lady looked at her a little unpleasantly, and the wife even took her niece over......

To be honest, it was precisely because she and her husband couldn't stand the atmosphere at home that they hurried to the capital.

It's just that I didn't expect that the seventh sister was still the sister who took the most care of herself, and in the blink of an eye, she was given a chance to partner with a Confucian businessman - the Qian family also once partnered with a Confucian businessman in Shandong, and the capital was all out, but the profit was only one percent, in order to just borrow other people's signboards.

Now, she can also partner in business with Confucian businessmen, and the identity of the seventh sister is much higher than the Confucian businessman who does business with the Qian family.

She could imagine that if the news of her cooperation with the Tianzihao Confucian merchants came back to Qingzhou, those people in the Qian family might regret it.

In the afternoon, after settling Qian Zhixin's two sons, Wang Qifang took a nap and coaxed the three children to play for a while, then called a carriage and went to the women's army camp in Zhechong Mansion.

"Oh, the second young grandmother, you came too timely," the third princess's deputy general Sun Yu'e stayed in the camp, and as soon as she saw Wang Qifang, she happily greeted her, "The third princess accompanied her to preside over the spring ploughing today, and before leaving, she specially explained to the last general that she must go to the house to visit the second young grandmother, but, it's just that there are too many trivial things in the camp, and the last general can't spare time for a while...... You're here, and things are so much easier. ”

"What, what's going on in the camp?"

Wang Qifang found that there were some strangers in the camp of the Women's Army in front of her, and more importantly, these soldiers were all men. Something was wrong with the atmosphere, she couldn't help but ask.

"Alas, don't mention it," Sun Yu'e followed Wang Qifang's gaze, and when she saw those male soldiers who were showing off their might, she let out a long sigh and said: "These are the government soldiers who entered Beijing to change their guards this year, and our women's army was originally going to change guards and go to the south, but there were still so many injured sisters in the camp, and the grain and grass were not ready, so they didn't leave, so they ran into each other in two miles." The camp and school grounds are tight, so just ...... Normally, it was better, but when it came time to train, we had friction with the soldiers on the other side. ”

"Oh, I see"

This Wang Qifang knows that part of the military system of the Great Zhou Dynasty adopts the compulsory military service system, such as the women's army and the forbidden army of the north and south, which are professional soldiers; The other part is to follow the Tang Dynasty's government military system, most of them are local government soldiers, these soldiers are not professional soldiers, they do their old jobs like ordinary people on weekdays, and they will only be recruited to fight when the court needs them, and the grain and grass are all self-prepared.

Generally, the composition of such government soldiers is very complex, and the organization is full of various social habits.

When this kind of non-professional social army and professional pure female soldiers meet, naturally they will not get along peacefully.

"That's the case, I'll take the injured sister back first, it just so happens that I have a new workshop there and needs a lot of manpower," Wang Qifang nodded, and said to Sun Yu'e with a smile, "Of course, don't worry, I will never treat our sisters badly." If they don't like it when they go to the workshop, I will arrange other jobs, and I will never let the heroines who have sacrificed their lives for the court and shed blood for the people be wronged."

"Hehe, don't worry, of course rest assured," Sun Yu'e heard this, and hurriedly smiled and said, "Our sisters of the Beiya Forbidden Army said that the second young grandmother is the one who takes care of our women's army the most. Since the third princess entrusted her injured sister to you, she naturally trusts you. ”

Just kidding, their women's army is not the whole of the guard to the field, there are still 2,000 forbidden troops left in the capital, if anyone dares to bully those injured sisters, naturally someone will 'pay back'.

"By the way, are you watching someone who accidentally broke into the curfew?"

Wang Qifang didn't forget someone's entrustment, and asked pretending to be worried.

"Yes, the man kept saying that he had followed his master to visit his relatives in the capital, but when we asked him who his master's relatives were, he didn't say anything. Alas, seeing that we are about to pull out, what to do with him is really a problem. ”

"Hehe, if that person's surname is Tie, it's my cousin's little girl"
