Chapter 396: Shunshui Favor
For a person of her status, the clothes she wears are not bad, they are all worn several times, and the color fades, and if she wears them again, it will be undignified. The master's clothes can't be given to the maid, so they can only be put away, which is a pity.
If you can have a fabric that does not fade, you can wear the clothes several times, and you can save a lot of money for the whole family a year. Although she has a dowry and her husband also has a fortune and an inheritance, the family also has a lot of expenses. Boxing gifts to the elders on both sides several times a year. The normal exchange of courtesies between relatives and friends should not be missing. The pen, ink, paper and inkstone used in children's reading are also very valuable.
When the child grows older, he can also prepare a dowry and a dowry, so why don't you need silver?
Liu Pan'er nodded and chuckled, "It doesn't fade, after testing, the clothes are worn out, and the color is still very good." If you don't believe me, there is fabric in the gifts I brought, and my wife can try it. ”
Originally, Mrs. Zhang wanted to pull Mrs. Li for her husband's sake, but she didn't expect Mrs. Li to have a fabric that would not fade here, so she was immediately interested, "I am also an acute person, my brother and sister said so, I really tried it." If it really doesn't fade and the price is higher, I'm happy to do it. ”
"Sister Zhao, just try." Liu Pan'er said with a smile, her family's cloth can withstand such a test.
After a while, the maid brought water, cut about three feet of cloth, and put it in a basin with water. After soaking for a while and taking out the fabric, the water is still clear.
Normal fabrics, more or less will lose a little color.
Seeing this, Mrs. Zhang was quite pleased, and couldn't wait to cooperate with Liu Paner, with such gimmicks and advantages, such fabrics must be particularly easy to sell, "Brother and sister, this business must be done for me, the price is negotiable." ”
Seeing that Mrs. Zhang was so sincere and agreed to raise the price, Liu Paner was not a pedantic person, so she also responded, "I believe in Sister Zhao." ”
When the two of them had talked about it, they made a contract, stipulating the price and quantity, as well as the method of picking up the goods, and so on.
Liu Paner does business, the villain first and then the gentleman, it is clear and clear, and there is no need to worry about follow-up cooperation.
At noon, Mrs. Zhang and Zhang Shuya enthusiastically found Liu Paner and the four of them had lunch and had a good conversation. After eating and sitting for a while, Liu Paner offered to leave.
Mrs. Zhang and Zhang Shuya personally sent Liu Paner and others outside the second gate, Zhang Shuya and Li Rong made an appointment that they could exchange letters in the future, but they could not cut off contact, and they would have the opportunity to introduce her to a friend who looked very similar to her in the future.
The guest at Zhang's house went well, and the fabric business was also settled, and then he waited for the caravan to continue to Yangzhou and Gusu with the caravan's steward.
When Mr. Zhang was chatting with Huo Chengda, he also learned about Mrs. Zheng's contempt and embarrassment for Mrs. Zheng along the way.
Lord Zhang listened to the strings and knew the elegant meaning, and understood that Mrs. Zheng was embarrassed by Liu Pan'er, so he was naturally willing to give this favor to this shunshui, so he wrote a letter that night and sent it directly to Lord Zheng who was guarding Yangzhou.
Although the two of them belong to the same five-rank official, Lord Zhang has the responsibility of supervising Lord Zheng. If you are stared at by Lord Zhang, even if Lord Zheng is thoughtful, you can still find a lot of mistakes.
Before the caravan arrived in Yangzhou, Lord Zheng received a letter from Lord Zhang, and he was immediately dizzy with anger. Doesn't it mean that a woman from a family is polite? Why did the same road offend Mrs. Drey?
looks down on Mrs. Drey's family from a peasant family, but she doesn't look at the four qualities of life that others get by their own ability? How many women in the Manchu Dynasty could do it?
At this time, Mrs. Zheng did not know the embarrassment of her husband Mr. Zheng, but because she went to visit the Marquis of Jinling Mansion yesterday, she saw her cousin Mrs. Marquis of Jinling, and received a valuable return gift, and she was secretly happy.
Mrs. Zheng asked the maid beside her, "I asked you to inquire yesterday, where did that family go as guests?" ”
Liu Paner, who has never been to Jinling, is still a farmer, and was a refugee fleeing the famine last year, how can he have the ability to know the big man in Jinling?
Cuimei replied: "Madam, Mrs. Li went to comfort Master Zhang's house as a guest, and it was personally sent back by Mrs. Zhang's grandmother, which shows that the relationship is close." ”
Although Mrs. Zheng does not understand the affairs of officialdom, she also knows the official position of officialdom, although her husband Yangzhou garrison is at the same level as the Xuanwei envoy, but Master Zhang is responsible for supervising the garrison below Jiangnan Province and occupies a natural advantage.
Mrs. Zheng's good mood, after hearing this, was upset, "Okay, you go down." ”
Cuimei reminded, "Madam, it's about the future of the master, don't be careless!" ”
Mrs. Zheng waved her hand, "Got it!" Mouthy, what you can think of, can I not think of? ”
Mrs. Zheng didn't expect Liu Paner to have this relationship, but it is impossible for a peasant woman to have anything to do with the Xuan Comfort Envoy, it should be the relationship between Liu Paner's husband Li Yuanqing.
No matter which side it is, it seems that she is not easy to embarrass Liu Pan'er and his party. As for privately, it depends on the situation, sometimes you can watch a good show by following the trend.
The next day the caravan continued on its way, and the next stop was Yangzhou.
Steward Gu came over to Liu Pan'er in private and said, "Madam, when you arrive in Yangzhou, you and a few children are at the inn, don't go out, so as not to get into trouble." As for Madame's spice and cloth business, I ran errands for Madame. ”
As long as there are people in the inn, even if Mrs. Zheng wants to make trouble, she doesn't dare to be presumptuous in front of the Gu family.
When Liu Pan'er heard this, she was grateful, "Thank you for taking care of things." ”
She is not a stubborn person, if she is the only one on this trip, everything is easy to say, but she has three children, everything is careful. It's completely unnecessary to fight.
When Mrs. Zheng and her subordinates saw Liu Paner and her party, they did not communicate, but the relationship did not deteriorate, but Liu Paner still did not dare to be careless.
After walking for two days, I finally arrived in Yangzhou on the third day.
Outside the city gate, Lord Zheng specially asked for a day off and came to greet Liu Paner and apologize. As for the loser's daughter-in-law, after I go back, I will teach her a lesson!
Originally, Mrs. Zheng thought that her husband was here to pick her up, and she was very happy, but she didn't expect her husband to go straight to Liu Paner's carriage and salute Liu Paner, smiling adorningly.
Not only that, but her husband actually gave Liu Paner a generous gift, which is half a car!
Mrs. Zheng was just about to go over, but was stopped by the little guy next to Master Zheng, "Madam, the master explained, he went over there to apologize and didn't let you go." The little one respectfully invites his wife to return home. ”
When Mrs. Zheng heard this, she felt depressed in her heart, and she couldn't breathe, "This ......"
Cuimei was also worried that Mrs. would stay here and cause trouble, and she didn't know why, anyway, Mrs. was in a bad mood when she heard Mrs. Drey, "Madam, I'll talk about it when I go back." Master, I have served in Yangzhou for less than two months, and my foundation is still shallow, so I can't make any mistakes. ”
Mrs. Zheng was not so angry that she lost her mind, and sat back into the carriage and pulled the curtain with a grunt.
