Chapter 2 Shen Hongge

Feng Pomegranate brought her carriage of local products to the North Hanmei Villa in Chiwu Town.

Chiwu Town is located on the main traffic road, and there are many merchants coming and going from the south to the north, so Shen Hongge opened a branch here. Everyone thinks that Shen Hongge's boss is surnamed Shen Minghong, but in fact, Shen Hongge's real boss is Feng Pomegranate's brother, Guan Taoxin.

The two sat opposite each other, drinking tea and talking.

"Sixteen Niang, the fame of your Xixi Building has spread to Donggu." The pavilion Tao Xin has passed the age of not being confused, his back is straight like a pine and cypress, he is dressed in a dark color, and he has wide robes and big sleeves. The eyebrows are the same as those of a pomegranate, slender and mild. Holding a delicately carved red agate jade plate in his hand, he seemed to be smiling but not smiling, looking at the sealed pomegranate.

The pomegranate is still in a gray shirt and skirt, and the white jade and osmanthus are not deliberately dressed.

When the people of the pavilion pottery family meet, no matter when and where, they have to praise each other about how the other party's business is prosperous and make an opening statement.

Feng Pomegranate, who had been away from home for a few years, lost his mind for a moment, and quickly reacted: "Shen Hongge is not bad." ”

"I heard that you also bought Zhuangzi."

"Aren't you opening another branch in Kyoto?"

The brother and sister looked at each other and smiled, and then they turned to the topic.

"Has Your Highness arrived in Liangzhou?"

"It will arrive in a few days, but Song Cheng has already set up a spot in Liangzhou. Is the little lady okay? ”

"All well!"

"Rest in town for two days and then set off. I will write to Song Cheng and ask him to send someone to answer you. ”

Feng Pomegranate nodded, "Big brother, I bought some local products on the road, you go back and bring them to your sister-in-law." ”

"You have everything at home, what do you buy those for?" Guan Taoxin frowned, "If you have money, you can spend it for yourself." Can I still treat your sister-in-law badly? ”

"This is my heart. I haven't seen my sister-in-law for a long time, so I miss her. ”

When they were at home, my aunt and sister-in-law got along well, but they seemed to be more sisters.

"Hey, Sixteen Niang. Your sister-in-law always talks about you, saying that leaving your hometown and leaving the well has made you miserable. ”

Feng Pomegranate sighed, "If it weren't for that damn Yuan Ying, how would I have left my hometown and left the well!" I am a great woman, so I want to be quiet for the rest of my life. Only my sister-in-law in the whole family understands me and understands me. How many times have I told my father that I will not remarry, let alone marry Yuan Ying, but my father just won't listen! ”

Speaking of this, Guan Taoxin was quite embarrassed. My sister's life was hard, and after six or seven years of marrying a wife, her husband unfortunately fell off a horse and died. Sixteen mothers have nothing to do, and her in-laws can't tolerate her. Only then did he return to his parents' house.

Yuan Ying valued the financial resources of the Pavilion Tao family, and wanted to form this family business, so he did his best to curry favor with him.

Guan Taomu didn't know what kind of virtue Yuan Ying was, but in order to be able to marry Feng Pomegranate, he turned a blind eye and even promised her a rich dowry. It just so happened that at this time, King Qin needed someone to go to Yongnian County to help take care of it.

So, Feng Pomegranate recommended himself to King Mao of Qin and went to Yongnian County.

Guan Taoxin is towards his sister, and he also feels that Yuan Ying is not a good match. From time to time, Tao Mu in the pavilion said a few good words for the pomegranate.

Guan Taomu also regretted that he should not be arbitrary and forced Feng Pomegranate to remarry. But the pavilion Tao Mu is the head of the family in the end, knowing that he has done something wrong, he will not admit it, and Baba and the others will be soft.

Feng Pomegranate is also a stubborn temper, just delayed, several years have passed, and the father and daughter have not reconciled.

Last year, Guan Taomu fell ill, and Guan Taoxin wrote a letter to Feng Pomegranate asking her to go home. Feng Pomegranate shirked his business and couldn't leave. I regretted it later, but it was too late to regret it. The letters came and went, and the illness of the pavilion Tao Mu was cured, and the steps were removed, and the sealed pomegranate was hung on the top and could not be brought down.

This time, Feng Pomegranate learned well, and when he saw the right opportunity, the father and daughter sat together and spread out to say that it was serious.

Guan Taoxin looked at the white jade osmanthus in his sister's hair, and his heart was not a taste. It was given to her by her dead brother-in-law.

Feng Pomegranate didn't ask for anything, only wore this jade flower.

He put down the red agate jade, took a few brocade boxes from the side, and opened them one by one, chattering, "You, don't always wear this flower." Didn't I give you a lot of jewelry? Wear it instead. The tone is as light as possible, so as not to make Pomegranate sad.

But there was still a trace of sorrow in the eyes of the sealed pomegranate.

Guan Taoxin pretended to turn a blind eye, "If you don't like gold jewelry, how about silver jewelry?" Take it out of the brocade box and put it on the table one by one, "Four butterflies silver step shake, silver comb, you like plum blossoms, how many are embedded with pink quartz on this silver comb, is it good?" ”

Feng Pomegranate couldn't bear to brush off his brother's kindness, and nodded: "It's good-looking." ”

She said that it was good-looking, and the spirit of the pavilion Tao Xin was lifted, "Look at this again, silver smoked ball, put a incense pill in it, hang it in the tent, or wear it on the waist, what do you say?" ”

Feng pomegranate holds the smoked ball in the palm of his hand, the size of a pigeon's egg, but it is made into a very complicated flying cloud pattern hollow, the flying eyes are dotted with black agate, and the collar worn by the neck is inlaid with a very small aquamarine, which is beautiful, "wear it on your waist, hanging in the tent is simply a tyrannical thing." ”

Guan Taoxin smiled proudly, "I'll find you some good incense again." ”

"Give that four-butterfly silver step shake to Yushu, she must look good when she wears it. Silver comb I want to give to Lan Fen, this smoked ball I will keep. Okay, brother? Feng Pomegranate smiled, and looked at Guan Taoxin coquettishly like when he was a child.

Guan Taoxin is reluctant to say badly, "If you give it to you, you can dispose of it." Then the conversation changed, "Is this trip Lao Bao catching a car?" ”

"yes." Feng Shimei was puzzled, "Why did my brother think of asking this?" ”

"Recently, there has not been a lot of peace on the slope of Sheephorn, and there are often horse thieves who raid caravans."

Sheephorn slope is the only way to Liangzhou, and it is half a day's journey from Liangzhou.

"Then why does the government eat, just don't care?"

"Official?" Guan Taoxin disdainfully, "The new thorn history has not been used for the top of the vase, and the horse thief is even more fierce than before." The officials of Nanqi are all waste. ”

In order to suppress the bandits in the northwest, the imperial court allocated a lot of silver every year, but not only did not get better, but more and more.

"That Shen Hongge ......"

The goods shipped to Shen Hongge were all gold, silver and jewelry, so it was good for horse thieves to keep an eye on them.

"These things can be done by Lao Shen." Guan Taoxin was still a little relieved, "Tell Lao Bao to be vigilant." ”

"Horse thieves don't look down on little shrimp like us."

At first glance, they are good men and women, and they don't have much oil and water.

Guan Tao Xin bowed his head, "Well, with Song Cheng answering, it shouldn't be fine." ”

Before leaving, Guan Taoxin strongly recommended the Chiwu soup cake shop on Xinghua Street, saying that he would not get tired of eating for even a month. Tell the pomegranate to be free to taste it.

Feng Pomegranate took it to heart. Her brother has traveled from south to north, he has never seen anything in the world, he has never eaten anything delicious, and it must be amazing to be able to praise him.

So, Feng Pomegranate decided that this red black soup cake shop must not be missed.
