Chapter 108: Curiosity (1)

On the day when Mugen and Ji Yan got married, Ji Yan Niang and Mu Gen Niang were too excited, and kept pulling Jiang Wanmu to talk, and the two sides exchanged stories about the glorious deeds of Mu Gen and Ji Yan from childhood to adulthood. Jiang Wanmu listened to the two mothers with a smile, praising her children as good in heaven and rare in the world. Mugen and Ji Yan listened to those words on the side, and gradually blushed.

Fang Zheng looked at the posture of the two mothers, as if Jiang Wanmu couldn't listen to it. Listening to the words of those two people again, they were as mighty as rivers and rivers, and they kept talking. Fang Zheng waited for the gap between them to speak, and hurriedly came over to say to Jiang Wanmu: "Miss, I have a very important matter, now I want to talk to you?" Fang Zheng turned his head and smiled and said to the two mothers who were not yet happy: "Mother, aunt, I will talk to the young lady about business." ”

Jiang Wanmu and Fang Zheng turned out of the room, and when the two went to the courtyard, Jiang Wanmu breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and said to the other party: "Actually, it's still very interesting to listen to the interesting stories of my brother and Ji Yan." Fang Zheng chuckled out and said, "Miss, I have something to tell you, I mentioned this matter to the shopkeeper, and he said that this matter needs to be approved by Miss." These words aroused Jiang Wanmu's interest, she pointed to the wooden bench on the side of the courtyard and said, "Then let's sit over there, I will listen to you talk about it." ”

After Jiang Wanmu sat down, Fang Zheng walked over, still standing there, Jiang Wanmu looked up at him, pointed to the stool opposite, and motioned for him to sit down. Fang Zheng sat down, glanced at Jiang Wanmu, carefully looked at her expression, and said, "Miss, a few days ago, I met Brother Li, who was next to the eldest young master, and when I was in the Jiang family in the past, he treated me closely. Fang Zheng said as he observed Jiang Wanmu's expression. Seeing her nodding slightly, there was no angry look on her face. He relaxed.

Fang Zheng smiled and said, "Brother Li has always followed the eldest young master, and he is a person that the eldest young master values. When he heard that I was working in a cloth shop, he smiled and asked me casually, is the owner directly buying goods from Zhongnan? Afterwards, I mentioned this matter to the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper nodded and said, "The big cloth shops usually send people to Zhongnan to buy goods." Jiang Wanmu's eyes lit up when she heard this, she looked at Fang Zheng and said, "How is the stock in the store now?" If you want to go to Zhongnan to order, how much does it cost on the road? What price do I need to order in the store? What kind of goods do you want? ”

Fang Zheng heard what Jiang Wanmu meant. After thinking about it for a while, he said, "Miss." The stock in our store is generally only stored for a few days. If you go to Zhongnan to order, you need thick cloth, and the price should not be too high. We do business on South Street, and we only do business for ordinary people. As for the expenses on the way that Miss said, I am still inquiring, and I can't go into detail for the time being. Jiang Wanmu looked at Fang Zheng with a cautious face, knowing that he was working hard in the cloth shop.

Jiang Wanmu looked at him and said, "Fangzheng." Expenses on the way to and fro. We can't just think about how to save money. The most important thing is that I want people and goods to go back and forth safely. Here's how it works. We can't use it for the time being. First, the store opened not long ago, and there was not much money in deposit. Second, we don't have enough manpower. Third, this matter should be considered in the long run. You listen carefully to the news, and when you think about this matter more thoroughly, we will discuss whether this matter is feasible or not. ”

Fang Zheng glanced at Jiang Wanmu, who did not object, and after he thought about it, he rubbed his hands a little embarrassed, and said, "Miss, I still want to ask Miss for help." Most of the cloth shops are in the business of female customers, and my father has a steady temperament, and he can do everything else, but when there are many things in the store and he needs someone to help him, he is really difficult. I wanted Uncle Mugen to come into the cloth shop to help me, he was more generous and flexible than my father in this regard. The aunt can come over and help with some backyard chores.

My father and mother can go to Mugen's place, where he has a lot of male customers. Besides, Uncle Mugen came to do the work, and after a while, after he was able to get started, if he could go to Zhongnan, he could make the trip, and I could go and see the cloth samples and prices there. Jiang Wanmu looked at him with a smile and said softly: "You discuss this matter with Mu Gen and the two first, and after he agrees, you can persuade the elders on both sides." Tell them that they will understand your intentions, so that they will not break the hearts of the adults on both sides. ”

Jiang Wanmu has returned to the Lian Wangfu since that day, and she has not had time to go out again. Recently, in the palace, good things have happened one after another, and three years after Mrs. Shizi gave birth to her eldest son, there was once again good news that she was pregnant. The old princess is about to celebrate her birthday recently, and I heard that the emperor will come to celebrate her birthday in person. Even the royal palace was overjoyed, and everyone responded with twelve points of spirit. Jiang Wanmu had to stay in the courtyard, learning all kinds of rules and manners every day with the women sent by the old princess.

Jiang Wanmu felt the feeling of Mrs. Shizi's monthly coming to take care of her, thinking about such a good thing, she wanted to be the icing on the cake. She thought about it, but Pai Jiyan went out to discuss with Fang Zheng and prepare some fabrics that children could use. I hope that such dedication will not cause trouble. The day before the old princess's birthday, after Ji Yan came back from going out, he handed a bag of things to Jiang Wanmu and said, "Miss, my brother said, 'This time, borrow Miss's light and learn from the shopkeeper for a good time.'" It turns out that there will be so much knowledge in giving such a gift. ’”

Jiang Wanmu listened to Ji Yan's words, looked at Ji Yan with a smile, and said with a smile: "In the past two days, I have heard the woman sent to teach the rules say, 'This kind of ceremony, the shopkeeper of each shop must be able to configure it. I opened it, looked at it, and studied it. Ji Yan hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Miss, I'll open it for you to see, the cloth in here is folded by the shopkeeper himself, and the burden is knotted by him." He was worried that the young lady was curious, and he specially taught me how to pack the knot. Jiang Wanmu heard Ji Yan say so cautiously, and quickly withdrew her outstretched hand.

Ji Yan carefully opened the knot of the burden on the table, the bag contained seven-colored cloth, each cloth was stacked in a different shape, and the top white cloth was the shape of a flower. Ji Yan explained on the side: "Miss, the order of this cloth cannot be placed randomly, the colors of various fabrics are different, and the folding patterns are also different. The shopkeeper said, 'This gift we give is called, 'Riches are there every year, and there is peace every day.'" Jiang Wanmu's hand stopped in mid-air, glanced at Ji Yan, who was guarding against his own multiple hands, and withdrew his hand. smiled and said, "You can wrap it." You will be with Shuhua in a moment, and send this gift to Mrs. Shizi. ”

Ji Yan tied the knot of the burden, blushed and smiled and said, "Miss, next time you go to the store, you can touch this fabric again." I've touched it, and it's as soft as snowflakes. The shopkeeper's good history is bad, there are flowers, trees, fruits, leaves, inkstones, cups and bowls, he folds them quickly and well, and my brother and I are dazzled. He smiled and said to his brother, 'If you want to learn, as long as you worship him as a teacher, he will teach him these things with his heart.' Jiang Wanmu's eyes lit up instantly, stared at Ji Yan and said, "Did your brother agree?" ”

Ji Yan stared at Jiang Wanmu, who was obviously happy, shook his head lightly and said, "My brother said, 'Such a big matter, you have to ask the elders and young ladies in the family before you dare to decide. If everyone agrees, choose an auspicious day and prepare a gift for apprenticeship. After hearing this, Jiang Wanmu nodded slightly and said, "Fang Zheng has always been assertive. I have no objection to this. The shopkeeper is an old man in this business, and his eyes are sharp, since he has taken a fancy to your brother, he will not be too anxious at this time. Let's put it for a few days, whether Fang Zheng nods or not, it will seem that our side is cautious. ”

Ji Yan glanced at Jiang Wanmu and said in a low voice, "Miss, do you really want your brother to worship the shopkeeper as a master?" "Jiang Wan Mu Zhining's pilgrimage to the master is a particularly important big thing. If you worship someone as a teacher, then you must be filial to your father in the future. Jiang Wanmu shook her head lightly and said, "If he is willing to teach Fangzheng, I will be very happy." But in terms of apprenticeship, I think it's the fate of each other. If Fang Zheng feels that he is destined for him and is willing to worship him as a teacher, I will not object. If Fang Zheng is unwilling, the things in the store, with his cleverness, will be able to learn the hand later and with more thought. ”

Ji Yan immediately smiled and clapped his hands, and said, "Miss, my brother said the same thing, saying that Miss will definitely be decided by himself." Jiang Wanmu glanced at her with a smile and said, "This kind of thing naturally wants everyone to be happy." A person like the shopkeeper has the heart to accept your brother as an apprentice, so he naturally likes your brother's character. Whether this thing works or not, an old man like the shopkeeper will complete this thing. You tell your brother to think clearly before deciding. Either way, I support his decision. ”

Ji Yan was so happy that he pulled Jiang Wanmu's hand and said with a smile: "Miss is the best." Jiang Wanmu heard the movement outside the room at this time, she hurriedly pulled Ji Yan hard, and said in a low voice: "Someone is coming." Ji Yan immediately let go and stood in front of Jiang Wanmu upright, winning her a smile. Jiang Wanmu listened to the footsteps outside, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she said to Ji Yan in a loud voice: "Ji Yan, you will go and invite Shuhua in a while, and let her accompany you to give this gift to Mrs. Shizi." You can't speak, those congratulatory words, by Shuhua. ”

Ji Yan responded obediently: "Yes, I will listen to Sister Shuhua outside." "Shuhua is a girl sent by the princess, I heard that she was quite appreciated by the princess in the past, she is pretty and has a sweet smile. After entering this courtyard, she directly took over the past affairs of the scholar, and after Lian Hao served by her side for a few days, she said to the same person, "This girl is steady." And when she faced Jiang Wanmu, she also showed the same respect, and everything seemed respectful and natural.

Ji Yan opened the door and looked at Lian Hao standing outside the door, and saw the two girls Shuhua and Shumei following behind him. She hurriedly saluted Lian Hao, and shouted loudly: "Ji Yan to the master, please be safe!" Lian Hao glanced at her, and after a faint 'um', he said, "Your grandfather is still young, and his ears are still smart." Don't shout so loudly in the future. Ji Yan obediently lowered his eyes and said, "Yes, I listen to my lord's orders." Lian Hao suddenly felt bored and said, "Do what your master commands." ”

He said to Shuhua: "You go with you, and on the way, ask clearly what kind of gift Madame is giving." Turning around and saying to Mrs. Shizi, don't let Mrs. Shao's kindness ruin this ignorant little girl. Shuhua heard Lian Hao's words, she hid the surprise in her eyes, nodded with a smile and said, "Master, don't worry." I will take good care of Mrs. Shizi and mention the good intentions of Mrs. Shizi. Ji Yan lowered his eyes obediently, and when he heard the words of the two of them, he raised his head with a smile and said, "I won't enter Mrs. Shizi's courtyard, I'll wait for Sister Shuhua outside." ”
