Chapter Seventy-Five: Dong Mansion

"It's good, but there may not be such craftsmanship in ready-to-wear stores." Yiyi's praise made the two of them relax. After all the hard work, what I hope for most is recognition.

"It's the duty of slaves and maids to do this, as long as Miss doesn't dislike the clumsiness of slaves and maids." The time is long, and the warm rain is a little more.

"I don't dislike it, it's all ingenious. When Miss Ben comes back next month, I will definitely bring you a lot of gifts. "Embroidery is a hard wound for modern girls, and the appreciation in Yiyi's eyes is extremely sincere.

Early the next morning, the warm rain and sunny wind presented the five sets of dresses that were newly sewn for Yiyi. Looking at the styles are all new, especially the feather blue snow tulle clothes, the embroidery is even more vivid and smart, it seems that it took a lot of thought from everyone.

I let go of the car early in the morning, and after having breakfast and going to see my father with the third uncle, Yiyi went out with the fragrance of flowers and green bamboo.

When I came to the West Market, the shops were opening their doors one after another, and the guys were running in and out of the lower door panels, sweeping the floor, wiping the shelves, and sorting out the goods.

The ready-to-wear store is next to the West Market Office, located in the center of the tic-tac-toe. Yiyi has recently become familiar with the West Market, and knows that the area is densely populated and is a good location.

At the right time, the West Market Bureau opened the door, and when I entered the room, I learned that there were two stalls in the central area for sale. Sister-in-law Zhou is talking about the steamed bun shop outside the ready-to-wear store in the southwest corner.

The city bureau ordered Lord Xiao to be in his fifties, very thin, and quite shrewd. After listening to Yiyi's name, I knew that this little girl with ice and snow skin was like a spring breeze, and she was Lord Xiaolin of Honglu Temple.

"Lord Xiao came today to rent a stall in the West Market."

"I don't know what Lord Lin rents the place for, I may be able to refer to it in detail." The official positions of the three Lin Zhuangyuan brothers are not lower than his municipal office order from Qipin, and his words of help are all sincere.

"This is also just back to the capital and is not familiar with the market, and I want to operate some new refreshments and pastries first, which makes Lord Xiao smile."

Officials and eunuchs would run granges and all kinds of businesses to increase their income and maintain pomp, and officials and their families often ran businesses, but it was rare to be willing to start from stalls.

"Lord Lin is too humble!" Lord Xiao patted his head, beckoned a pawn to come forward and whisper a few words, and when the pawn hurriedly went out, he asked a few more words, confirming that Yiyi was in charge of tea, snacks, and snacks, and also recommended the location that Sister-in-law Zhou said, and personally led Yiyi to see the field.

The original stall owner and his wife are elderly people from outside Beijing, and their granddaughter-in-law is pregnant with Liujia, which is to sell the order and return to their hometown to live for the rest of their lives. Because I had planned to go out of the stall for a long time, the stall owner had arranged all kinds of tables, chairs and sundries on the stall, and the place could be vacated in half a day.

The stall is an independent stall located on the side of the street, the back panel wall of the four corner columns is fixed, and the remaining three panel walls are detachable.

Yiyi agreed to the lot, and said that someone would come over in the afternoon to take over, and the group would go to the West City Bureau to go through the formalities.

According to their front foot into the door, Dong Wangjiang, the supervisor of the mutual market on the back foot, came with sweat in his head, followed by two subordinates who led the way by the warden of Shicai.

"It turns out that the virtuous nephew is here." The supervisor who led the way said no

"I've seen Shibo." The virtuous nephews are all called, and it would be too angry to call Lord Dong again. Fortunately, my father's official title from the fourth grade, so there will be no suspicion of pulling the relationship.

"You get busy with yours first, I'll take a sip and take a breath." As soon as Mr. Dong saw the record and took the lease papers, he asked Yiyi to handle his own affairs first.

The bun shop has a lease term of one year and two months, and the rent collected by the West Market Bureau is non-refundable, and the original stall owner is paid the remaining rent of 50204 yuan according to demand.

After the original stall owner took the rent and returned the deposit for two months, he went out. Xiao Dacai signaled Yiyi to take the lease documents, and told Yiyi that the deposit was collected by the West City Bureau, so that she was exempted from paying; She was also exempted from the change fee for one month's rent.

At this time, the expenses on the bright side have already spent the two hundred taels of silver given by the third uncle, and it is right to be able to reduce it. Yiyi just thanked Lord Xiao, and Lord Dong, who was drinking tea, coughed, and Lord Xiao replied with a slightly embarrassed face.

Yiyi immediately understood that the so-called change fee in the West City should have been collected by the West City Bureau.

Yiyi smiled and chatted with Master Dong instead: "It's a coincidence that today is also a coincidence, I can meet Shibo here." ”

"I'm here to find your ......," he paused: "It's my fellow villager from Bozhou who brought dozens of truckloads of local products to the capital to sell a few days ago, and I wanted to sell them at a good price during the Wanshou Festival, and several relatives also lived in the cold house." It's just that they have no way out, and they have been running in Beijing for several days, and the price given by the merchants is not enough for their expenses. After a long delay, the family lacked labor, and the goods began to rot. Not to mention the accommodation at home, I asked me to find a way sooner or later, and now I don't dare to go home when it's time to leave. ”

"Hehe~~~ It's also embarrassing for Shibo." Thinking about Lord Dong, as a mutual market supervisor, the Wanshou Festival is also a time when he is busy with envoys and foreign clans from various countries on tribute matters, and it is enough to add such a group of relatives and friends. "I'm afraid that my little nephew won't be able to help much."

"All I deal with is tea, silk, horses and other things, and I don't know anything about the operation and sale of local products. This time, many of the local products they brought were new products imported from overseas by Honglu Temple, so they wanted to ask their nephews to help come up with ideas. ”

The shops in the West Market or most of the shops in the capital have the participation of officials, and it is not easy to interfere with the mutual market supervision from the six products. And Lin Yiyi, who has participated in the introduction of new products in the whole process, is a good choice.

"It's inconvenient to disturb the busy affairs of the nephew's family, please forgive me."

"Shibo is gracious! Today is just free, although there is something to do, although the uncle commands, the little nephew does his best. "In the past few days in the West Market, Yiyi has found several similar merchants.

Dong Wangjiang asked Lin Yiyi to go to the house to see the local products, and the two of them said goodbye to Lord Xiao and went out and got into the carriage separately. The Dong Mansion is located on the edge of the Chenghuang Temple City in the north of Xiude Society, and it will not take much time to arrive. A three-entry house is also spacious.

The gatekeeper of Dongfu saw that the old man was busy opening the door when he went home, and when he entered the door, he saw that the front yard was full of all kinds of car frames, and there were a lot of straw bags and bamboo baskets piled up under the eaves of the upside-down house, and the neighing of donkeys and horses in the right corner yard was also endless, and the smell of the entire front yard was not very good.

Lord Dong asked Yiyi to go to the flower hall to serve tea first, and before Yiyi could answer, two stout farmers rushed out of the upside-down room, one called cousin and the other called cousin, looking like two fathers and sons.

"Uncle, my daughter-in-law is about to give birth, and she is still waiting for me to make money to go back, and my heart is like a fire every day." The younger one squatted on the ground with his head in his hands as he spoke, and his voice changed. Hearing this, four or five more men came out of the room one after another, all of them in their thirties and forties.

"Wangjiang, brother has caused you trouble. You are the only one in our family who is a good official in the capital, how much more care you have! At present, people are inseparable from the fields and fields. Lord Dong's cousin looked fifty miles away, with an old face in coarse cloth clothes. The back is very careful in his words, so as not to annoy Lord Dong.

Yiyi saw their appearance and understood why Master Dong didn't dare to go home.

"Brother, the family doesn't talk about it, I naturally care about your affairs. Didn't I even invite Lord Lin to help today, just to ask her to help us come up with ideas. ”

The father and son looked at the visitors at this time, and began to see that Yiyi and the others were still relatives and friends of the Dong family, so they didn't dare to look at it more, but now that they saw it, Lord Dong's cousin yelled at Qingzhu again and again: "It's troublesome Lord Lin." ”
