"Going shopping? Why did I call you? There won't be any conspiracy! Xiao Qian was even more worried after hearing this.

"It's okay, Aunt Lin also wants to train me." Du Ruo said this just to comfort Xiaoqian, she actually felt a little strange. Aunt Zhang has always been at odds with her, how can she think about her. I'm afraid that there is really some conspiracy this time, so she should be careful. None of what she thought in her heart was revealed on her face, and she explained to Xiaoqian seriously.

"I'm not here these days, you have to do things seriously and don't make any mistakes. If Ling'er bullies you, don't force yourself with her, let her take advantage of whatever she wants, in fact, it's just a small profit. I also have to take more care of the two sisters Liping and Lijing. I'll leave it to you, and I'll be waiting for me to come back. ”

Xiao Qian nodded obediently: "Mmmm, don't worry, you must come back safely!" ”

Du Ruo smiled: "Definitely!" ”

The next morning, it was not yet dawn. Du Ruo packed up his things and set off in a carriage with Aunt Zhang and others at the back door. went with them, as well as Fangfang from the treasury and Zhu Laiyun from sprinkling and sweeping. Aunt Zhang and Fangfang sat in the carriage together, and Fangfang and Zhu Laiyun sat in front of the car to catch the car.

"Drive!" With a bang, the car started.

Soon the car was driving into the bustling street. Aunt Zhang leaned on the reclining and closed her eyes to recuperate. Du Ruo was speechless. Occasionally, I heard Fangfang and Zhu Yunlai talking in a whisper in front of me.

Zhu Yunlai asked Fangfang: "Where are we going to buy this time?" ”

Fang Fang replied: "Several time-honored brands in Liangdu are going to go, in addition to these, I have to go to Liuzhou to buy some tea and Ruzhou to buy some porcelain." ”

"Didn't you get some tea last time?"

"The spring sprouts that entered last time, this time you want to enter Pu'er, why don't you understand anything?"

Zhu Yunlai smiled honestly: "Hehe, I'm just a rough person, how do I know that there are many kinds of tea." ”

The first stop, their destination was Baixiu Cloth Village. As soon as the Buzhuang man saw Fangfang on the carriage, he hurried back to call the shopkeeper. In the short time that Zhu Yunlai stopped the horse and Aunt Zhang got out of the car, the shopkeeper had already rushed to everyone.

"Aunt Zhang, please come inside!" The shopkeeper was obedient, and at first glance, he knew Aunt Zhang and Fangfang, and he was very enthusiastic about this line.

Usually the customers are selected in the store, and the group of four people was led to the private seat by the shopkeeper.

A guy served four cups of tea.

From the moment the shopkeeper first came in, his waist has not been straight, and he has always maintained a curved appearance of forty-five degrees.

The shopkeeper naturally knew that Aunt Zhang was the one who was really in charge, and she took extra care of it, not only watching tea, but also serving good snacks. He even invited her to sit on the upper seat.

Du Ruoxin sighed, the standard of this Liangdu service industry is very high.

"Auntie has been working hard all the way, so drink a cup of tea. This is the best Genting fog tea of the year. The shopkeeper said to Aunt Zhang with a smile.

Aunt Zhang ate this set very much, took a sip with satisfaction, and felt that her lips and teeth were fragrant.

The shopkeeper continued to set closely: "How is my aunt doing recently?" ”

Aunt Zhang continued to drink tea, looking high: "It's still as usual, there's nothing wrong with it." ”

"That's good, that's good." The shopkeeper said as he pushed the dim sum closer to Aunt Zhang. "Eat some more candied fruit, rest a little longer, and don't be in a hurry. I have told the men to go in a trick, and they will come soon. ”

Aunt Zhang was not polite, and began to eat berries, and she was not in a hurry: "You also know, we have always wanted the best in Lianxiangyuan, although you have the most fashionable and high-end materials." In the tone of his speech, he couldn't hide his toes.

"Don't worry, auntie, you are our old customer. Which time did you disappoint? The little ones don't have the guts. The shopkeeper laughed. The financial resources of this Lianxiangyuan are really not ordinary.

After a while, a group of men rushed in, each holding two or three bundles of fabric, and the shopkeeper also brought a thick booklet.

Aunt Zhang stood up, and together with Fangfang, she picked up. While picking, let the shopkeeper write it down. Fangfang also wrote these down in her notebook.

After the selection is over, Aunt Zhang doesn't have to pay the silver taels now. When the time comes, the cloth will be ordered directly to the Lianxiang Garden, and the treasury will count and then pay the money from the account to the cloth village.

After that, the group went to a jewelry store and a rouge gouache shop. All received the same treatment.

When I got back to the carriage again, it was already evening.

"Auntie, where are we going next?" Zhu Yunlai held the reins and turned back to ask Aunt Zhang inside.

"When I went to Sun's flower garden on the outskirts of Liangdu, my aunt said that I wanted a few bamboos and some chrysanthemums."

"Okay!" Zhu Yunlai shouted heartily, threw up the horsewhip, and the carriage started in response.

The carriage gradually drove out of the busy area and headed for the suburbs. Du Ruo felt that the scenery on the road was very familiar, and she recognized that she had come out of Manager Liu to walk on this road before. Unexpectedly, I will have to revisit the same place again two months later.

It didn't take long for him to come to the door of Sun's flower garden, and Sun Mao, the owner of the flower garden, heard the sound of the carriage and quickly came out to greet him.

"Ah, Aunt Zhang, what kind of wind is blowing you?" Sun Mao is also a flattering businessman, but compared with the shopkeeper of Baixiu Buzhuang, he has a lot more philistine.

Aunt Zhang didn't pay much attention to him, and directly explained her intentions: "You have Wenzhu here, and we have to order some chrysanthemums in autumn." ”

Sun Mao hurriedly stepped forward to help the eldest lady get out of the car, and replied with a huff: "You see that I have nothing to entertain you in this rural place, and if I dare to do the business of Lianxiangyuan, I am naturally a little prepared." Let's talk about chrysanthemums, white chrysanthemums, purple chrysanthemums, green chrysanthemums, whatever you want, in the autumn, we will send it to you. ”

Aunt Zhang was helped to walk inside, and saw that there were really rows of flowers and plants inside, all of which grew well. Aunt Zhang looked satisfied, and then asked, "What about Wenzhu?" ”

Sun Mao showed a look of embarrassment at this time: "Auntie, you don't know anything. This bamboo is not difficult to raise, but it is not easy to raise a good look. Moreover, the cost of Wenzhu seedlings is high, and there are not many people who collect them, so we can't lose money if we buy and sell them in a small way. So I didn't plant it this year. ”

The eldest lady doesn't seem to care too much.

Fangfang rolled her eyes: "I just said that I dared to do the business of Lianxiangyuan, and I made sufficient preparations, and I didn't even have Wenzhu, so I dared to boast about Haikou?" ”

Sun Mao's face was still flattering: "Miss Fangfang, don't worry. Who doesn't know the flower and plant business in Liangdu, I, Sun Mao, dare to admit the second, and no one dares to admit the first. But there are thousands of flowers and plants in the world, I really can't have everything, and the King of Medicine can't do this. However, since Lian Xiangyuan is my Sun Mao's old patron, how can I not help? ”

Fang Fang saw that he was still selling Guanzi, and couldn't help urging: "How can you help?" Say it! ”

Sun Mao began to get serious: "Only three miles away from our Sun's flower garden, there is a man named Wang Xuan, who is a strange person in this area, but he loves to raise all kinds of strange flowers and plants, and he often raises Wenzhu." He respects Aunt Xiangyuan Lin very much, if you ask him to buy it, it's right! “
