Chapter 112: The Caravan
Great Qi Yuankang eleventh year
It's autumn, and some of the leaves have turned red or yellow.
The morning and evening winds also cooled down.
The Lan clan in Ning Shoubo's mansion was directing the maid's mother-in-law to take the cloth to cut the clothes for autumn and winter.
In addition, she was also busy preparing dowries for Cheng Yunjin and Cheng Susha.
In the spring, Cheng Yunjin and Cheng Susha had already agreed on their family affairs, and then they would go to the six rites and other things, and in winter, the two of them were going to get married.
Naturally, Cheng Yunjin, as a concubine, has a much better family affair than Cheng Susha, and the dowry is also very rich.
Cheng Susha is an honest person, but she and her aunt have always had little to do, except for flattering the Lan family, but they are not demons, the Lan family gave her some face, and found her a family background and a good person.
Cheng Yunjin is going to marry into the Marquis of Jing'an.
The Jing'an Hou Mansion is a big family with a big family and a big business, so it was originally a little disdainful of Ning Shoubo's Mansion.
But who knows that the eldest grandson of the Marquis of Jing'an doesn't know what's going on, and he is clamoring to marry Cheng Yunjin, and he also says that Cheng Yunjin is her confidant.
The old lady of the Marquis Mansion of Jing'an favored her grandson, and saw that her grandson had to marry Cheng Yunjin, and she was on a hunger strike and noisy, so she had no choice but to agree.
It's just that before Cheng Yunjin entered the door, he had already left a charming impression on the elders of the Jing'an Hou Mansion.
Of course, the people in Ning Shoubo Mansion didn't know about these things.
The Lan family always thought that the old lady of the Marquis Mansion of Jing'an had taken a fancy to Cheng Yunjin and wanted to marry her to be her granddaughter-in-law, so she happily prepared for Cheng Yunjin to marry.
She was busy looking at the dowry list.
Hearing the panicked voices of the girls outside the door, Qingxing ran in one by one: "Mrs., Mrs., it's a big deal, Qi Niang is back." ”
"What?"
Lan stood up suddenly.
Her face was panicked, and her whole face turned pale.
In fact, in the past three years, Cheng Yanluo has not stayed in Ning Shoubo's mansion much.
The Lan family didn't know where Cheng Yanluo was every day, anyway, as long as she wasn't in the mansion, they felt that An Sheng didn't care.
Although Cheng Yanluo doesn't often stay in Ning Shoubo's Mansion, every time he comes back, there will be a big scene, and the tossed Mansion is not peaceful for a moment, and after three years, the Ning Shoubo Mansion that has been engaged in it will be frightened as long as she comes back.
The Lan clan is like this now, as soon as he heard that Cheng Yanluo was back, he immediately stood up, and walked out with a wave of his hand: "Quick, hurry up and greet Qi Niang with me." ”
She didn't dare not greet her, since the last time Cheng Yanluo lowered her face and taught her a hard lesson, she saw Cheng Yanluo like a mouse seeing a cat.
All the girls and mothers-in-law threw down their work and followed the Lan family out.
As soon as he walked out of the second gate, he saw Cheng Yanluo wearing men's clothes, his hair tied up on the top of his head, and walked in heroically.
She was dressed in dark men's clothes, a red cloak, and a horsewhip in her hand.
Lan Shi shuddered when he saw the horsewhip in Cheng Yanluo's hand.
"Qi Niang is back."
She hurriedly put on a smiling face to please Cheng Yanluo: "Qi Niang hasn't returned for a long time, and your father and I really miss it tightly." ”
Cheng Yanluo hooked his lips and smiled: "In this way, I will stay at home for a few more days." ”
Lan choked, a little annoyed.
"How?" Cheng Yanluo raised his eyebrows: "Isn't my wife welcome me?" Didn't my wife's words just now come against her will? ”
Lan Shi hurriedly waved his hand in fright: "No, no, what I said is true, my master and I really miss you." ”
She thought for a while, and her face showed a little smugness: "It just so happens that our family has a happy event, your eldest sister and second sister are going to get married, and you just come back, at least you can send them two." ”
While he was talking, Ning Shoubo also ran over.
As soon as he saw Cheng Yanluo, he rubbed his hands: "Qi Niang is back." ”
Cheng Yanluo smiled: "No, I miss the old lady, so I'll come back and take a look." ”
She threw the whip to the girl, and walked towards the inner courtyard.
Lan and Ning Shoubo glanced at each other, and had to follow.
After entering the main hall, Cheng Yan Luo Dama Jin Dao sat down on the west side, and the Lan family and Ning Shoubo dared to take their seats.
Cheng Yanluo took a sip of water and asked, "I don't know which family the eldest sister and the second sister are marrying?" ”
Lan became more and more proud: "Your eldest sister is married to the Marquis of Jing'an, and your second sister is also married well, she is a good man, her family has thousands of acres of land, and there are many shops, and your second sister is not worried about eating and drinking when she marries." ”
Cheng Yanluo lowered his head and drank water: "Jing'an Hou Mansion? ”
Lan nodded: "Exactly." ”
Cheng Yan Luo smiled lightly: "It's a good family." ”
She looked at Ning Shoubo again: "Which one is the second sister marrying?" ”
Ning Shoubo said with a smile: "The surname is Feng, and the name is Fengyurong." ”
"That's a good name." Cheng Yanluo smiled and nodded: "It's not bad to be a person, but my wife is bothered." ”
Lan Shi was a little arrogant: "I don't dare to say it, but I am very dedicated to you sisters." ”
Cheng Yanluo didn't quarrel with her, just smiled and sipped tea.
On the contrary, Ning Shoubo was a little embarrassed.
Cheng Yanluo drank a cup of tea and got up: "My house is still clean, I'm a little tired from running away now, go back and pour sleep first." ”
"It's clean, it's clean." Lan didn't dare to ignore Cheng Yanluo's matter, so he immediately got up and asked the girl to take Cheng Yanluo back to the house.
Cheng Yanluo stretched out his hand to stop her: "Mrs. is very unnecessary, I can go back by myself, after all, this is my home, I still don't know where my house is?" ”
Lan didn't ask anyone to take her.
Cheng Yanluo strode away, and said to Ning Shoubo as he walked: "The master is looking for a few people to help me move the things I brought, by the way, I brought back a jade Guanyin, which should be used as a makeup addition for the eldest sister." ”
When Lan Shi heard this, he was immediately overjoyed: "I bothered you, I thank you for Yuan Niang." ”
Her voice fell, and Cheng Yanluo had already disappeared.
If you want to say that Cheng Yanluo has gone out from time to time in the past three years, where did he go?
This girl is really bold.
She met Hu Shang in Chang'an West City three years ago, and learned a lot about overseas things in the chat with Hu Shang, and thought about some things in her previous life, so she deduced that some overseas countries must be rich in gemstones, and some countries are rich in jade and spices.
Cheng Yanluo first called Liu Feimao and Tiezhu to take the lead and walked around.
It took more than half a year to go, and when the two of them came back, they brought back a lot of good things.
These things were sold to many areas in the south, and Cheng Yanluo made a lot of money.
According to Liu Feimao, overseas countries like tea, porcelain and silk the most.
Cheng Yanluo, as a clan girl, has a reputation for ghosts, and it is not difficult to get some good porcelain in the palace that will not be eliminated, so she hooked up with the Weaving Bureau, not only got porcelain, but also got a lot of silk, and also got in touch with the tea merchants in the south, and began to sell these things to overseas countries.
Three years is enough time for Cheng Yanluo to grow.
Today, she has a caravan under her command, specializing in trade with various countries.
And Liu Feimao is the head of the caravan, and the iron pillar is equivalent to a bodyguard.
These two people are shrewd and strong, but the caravan has developed very prosperously, and naturally, Cheng Yanluo has earned countless fortunes in three years.
And now Cheng Yanluo is back because the caravan is going to settle down for a while, and then some overseas countries are now in chaos, Cheng Yanluo doesn't want to take any more risks, and wants to stop for a few years.
