Chapter 226: Gossip
Ah Sixian finished arming, and then remembered Jia Liang's matter, so he asked, "Brother Jia, I haven't asked you yet, why are you here?" Do you want to buy silk thread for your eldest lady again? Well, if you don't sell this silk thread to anyone, you will sell it to you. ”
Jia Liang shook his head and said with a bitter face: "I didn't come by myself this time, I came with the fourth lady, alas, the fourth lady is not the eldest lady, this one is not easy to serve." ”
Ah Si frowned: "Four ladies? Huo Daxue's sister-in-law? ”
"Yes, it's the fourth lady, if we say that the master of our East Mansion is really few, the four who are often in the house are just four, the eldest lord and the eldest lady are all exquisite people, and they are also kind to our current people, the silk thread I bought for the eldest lady last time, the girl next to the eldest lady thanked Uncle Jia one by one, and later the eldest lady also rewarded me with one or two silver. But this fourth lady is different, alas, it's not easy to serve. Jia Liang shook his head as he spoke.
Ah Si sighed, patted Jia Liang's shoulder, and said, "Why don't I go and talk to the shopkeeper, and choose two mothers-in-law with vision to serve, so as not to embarrass you." ”
Jia Liang looked around at no one, leaned into Ah Si's ear and said, "The fourth lady is going to the plum appreciation party in the eldest princess's mansion, and I heard that the eldest lady cut clothes here with you, so I held my breath and wanted to suppress the eldest lady." ”
When Ah Si heard this, he said: "What kind of difficult thing is this, the ladies and ladies who came to our shop, there are many such things, you don't care, I will let people give a discount in a while, and then send a handkerchief sachet or something, and keep it to make you four ladies happy." ”
Jia Liang is known as Miss Jia, this nickname is by no means for nothing, he not only talks and behaves femininely, but is also proficient in all aspects of women's affairs.
He knew that these ordinary-sounding handkerchief sachets, once they came from the Cloud Embroidery Workshop, they were good things that were difficult to buy even if they had money.
But he thought about it again, Ah Si is just a tea and water servant, how can he have such a big face in Yunxiu Fang?
Yun Embroidery Workshop, is not an ordinary small shop, this is a well-known brand in the capital, long before the Huo family opened the Cloud Embroidery Workshop to the capital, there are businesses under the banner of the Cloud Embroidery Workshop on the Suhang Street in the capital, the new style of the Cloud Embroidery Workshop, the upper of the Cloud Embroidery Workshop this year, therefore, although the Cloud Embroidery Workshop is a new shop that was opened this year, but the reputation in the capital has long overshadowed those decades of time-honored brands.
Jia Liang is the procurement manager of Dongfu, usually walks around outside, and has long heard that the big shopkeeper of Yunxiu Workshop is a woman, and what he can occasionally see is only the second shopkeeper, but this second shopkeeper also has a lot of face outside, and it is not common to ask for him in front of him.
The more he thought about it, the more Jia Liang felt that Ah Si had handed over shit luck, and he only heard that the close service around the master was decent, and it was the first time he saw that the little guy in the shop could climb the big boss.
Huo Jiu is not only the owner of the Cloud Embroidery Workshop, he is also the only male member of the Huo family, who has shown his face in front of the Queen Mother, and has the official body of the imperial gift.
Jia Liang's heart was sour, and he couldn't help but ask Ah Si again: "Has Huo Jiuye been here again this time?" ”
Ah Si puffed up his chest and looked proud: "Brother Jia, haven't you heard of it in the university scholar's mansion?" ”
Speaking of this, he lowered his voice and whispered: "The Ninth Master is helping Prince Fu and Prince Qing to do things, busy, how can I have time to come here, if the Ninth Master is free, I will go to Lao Cangzhou to eat sheep intestines, go to Tianxianglou to call friends, and then go to the Four Seas Teahouse to hold white daffodils." ”
Hearing the three words Lao Cangzhou, Jia Liang's eyelids jumped, and he hurriedly asked, "You said Lao Cangzhou?" Does Huo Jiuye often go to Lao Cangzhou? ”
Ah Si smiled and said, "Don't you know? Jiu Ye is young, he likes these new things the most, there was no sheep intestine sold in the capital in Jiangnan before, Lao Cangzhou is the only one, and Jiu Ye has to go to the top every three or five times. ”
Speaking of this, Ah Si asked again: "You can't have eaten it, have you?" ”
"How so? I also go there often, but I haven't met Huo Jiuye. Jia Liang said busily, he didn't brag, he did go often, and although Lao Cangzhou is getting bigger and bigger, it is very cheap, pulling feet, running errands, and there are not many guests sitting in Lao Cangzhou, there are not many who have money, but there are many who have no money.
Jia Liang didn't expect that Huo Jiuye, who was so poor that he only had money left, would love to go there.
Ah Si smiled: "Next time you meet my ninth master there, don't rob him, I heard that the sheep intestines are gone late, and the ninth master has not eaten enough several times." ”
Jia Liang smiled bitterly: "I'm not from the Huo family, even if I tie up with Huo Jiuye, it's useless." ”
yes, what's the use? Although they are all Huo family, they are so much worse.
Ah Sizhong leaned over again, put his ear to his ear and said, "I'll tell you something, don't say it." ”
"What's the matter? Can't you trust me? Jia Liang asked rhetorically.
Ah Si looked around, and said in a low voice: "There is a guest in Tianxianglou, and he is also a person with a face in the capital, Tianxianglou is a dish of Jiangsu and Zhejiang flavors, when the ninth master went, he made a meat sandwich bun for the ninth master, the guest's attendant was waiting in the corridor, just saw it, and sniffed, the ninth master saw it, and rewarded one to him, he even said that it was delicious, and the ninth master was happy, and felt that this kid was clever, so he let the Zhang brothers around him learn a little, this kid was really clever, and later went to Tianxianglou, and caught up with the Zhang brothers, It didn't take long for the Zhang brothers to scrape together five hundred taels of silver to do business with a steward of the Huo family's caravan, so they also counted him as a share, and he scraped together forty taels and counted them in the shares of the Zhang family brothers, and it was only a month later, guess how much the forty taels of silver became? ”
Ah Si sold the guanzi, but Jia Liang already heard it like a cat scratching his heart: "How much has it become?" ”
He had heard of the Zhang brothers beside Huo Jiu, and he heard that they were a pair of thirteen or fourteen-year-old handsome offspring.
Ah Si mysteriously raised a finger and shook it in front of Jia Liang.
"One hundred taels?" Jia Liang was taken aback, forty taels became one hundred taels, this is more than double, how can there be such a profitable business, by the way, this is to do business with the Zhang family brothers, those stewards of the Huo family, who don't want to sell face to the Zhang family brothers, even if they don't make money, they must let the Zhang family brothers earn silver.
Ah Si shook his head, sighed, and said, "If the Ninth Master also lifts me up in front of the Zhang brothers one day, then there will be green smoke on my ancestral grave." ”
The more Jia Liang listened, the more anxious he became: "Not a hundred taels?" How much is that? ”
Ah Sidao: "A deed of sale, not one person's, it is a deed of sale for three generations of fifteen people of his family!" ”
Jia Liang's face changed, the deed of sale of fifteen people, how much money does this have to give to the owner to redeem himself.
