755 Chartering (1 shift)
Meng asked Mama Wu to take Song Wanyue to find someone.
After leaving the house, the two got into a carriage and went to the store.
There are many shops for Meng's dowry, most of which are on the most prosperous streets in Beijing, and the intervals are not far away, some are used by themselves, and some are rented out.
They went to a shop that sold fabrics, and the silk and silk brocade in Jiangnan were the best, and a month Mengyang would let people transport a boat over, so the shops here were also very famous and had many customers.
Shopkeeper Liu is one of the shopkeepers who married with the Meng family back then, and he has taken care of all the shops with the shopkeeper Jin over the years, and he is loyal.
The carriage was driving on the road, and Song Wanyue lifted the curtain to look out. The spring day is warm, and there are more people on the street, shouting and shouting.
"Back then, my uncle bought ten shops for my wife on this street."
Mama Wu said with a smile, thinking about the sensation when the Meng family married and came to the capital, at that time, the Xu family was not so famous, but it was also a scholarly family, I heard that she married a merchant woman, and she said everything, until the uncle smashed hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in one go, and bought ten shops on this street with a large amount of money, and those people all shut up.
Song Wanyue imagined that picture, "How rich my grandmother's family is!" ”
"Although the Meng family is not the richest man in Jiangnan, it is also one of the best families, and there are only two brothers and sisters, the uncle and the wife, and the wife is married far away, the old lady is afraid that she will be bullied, and she can't wait to give her half of the family business as a dowry."
Song Wanyue nodded, and was about to put down the curtain, when she suddenly saw a familiar figure, and she narrowed her eyes.
Over there, Wu Sheng came out of a shop and almost bumped into Topaz, he hurriedly apologized, "Girl, I'm sorry." ”
Topaz took a step back.
"Hey, you're not that ......"
Wu Sheng recognized her, and seeing that Huang Yu didn't remember, he reminded, "On that day, on the road, your carriage broke down, and my coachman helped you fix it." ”
Topaz remembered and blessed his body, "Thank you for that day." ”
"It's a matter of effort, you ......"
Before he could finish speaking, a voice came from a carriage, "Topaz girl." ”
Wu Sheng followed the voice and looked over, and when he saw that it was Song Wanyue, he withdrew his gaze without changing his face.
"Miss Song."
Topaz was pleasantly surprised.
She came out to buy something today, Song Wanyue asked her to go to Jiangnan with her, she was very grateful, so she wanted to come over to buy some fabrics, and make a few clothes for Song Wanyue on the way as a thank you.
Song Wanyue looked at her and asked with a smile, "Are you ......?"
Naturally, Topaz couldn't say that he was here to make clothes for her, and replied, "I'll buy some things for the road." ”
"Then he's ......"
Song Wanyue looked at Wu Sheng.
"Our carriage broke down on the way to the capital, and it was this prince who asked his entourage to repair it."
Huang Yu was afraid that Song Wanyue would misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained.
Song Wanyue nodded and looked at Wu Sheng openly.
Wu Sheng was afraid that she would see the clue, so he nodded at her slightly, turned his head and left with his entourage, walked far away, couldn't feel Song Wanyue's gaze, and let out a long breath.
After returning to the capital, he has been trying to find an opportunity to get close to Topaz, and he didn't find it until today, originally wanted to take this opportunity to make Topaz impress him, but he didn't expect to be destroyed by Song Wanyue.
Seeing that the person was gone, Song Wanyue retracted her gaze, and was about to speak, when she felt Mama Wu quietly pulling her sleeve and looked over.
Mama Wu opened her mouth and said silently, "Jin Hao." ”
Song Wanyue understood, Jin Hao should be in this shop, and invited Huang Yu with a smile, "There are a lot of people here, you get in the carriage, and I'll find someone to accompany you later." ”
Huang Yu thought that she was letting Mama Wu accompany her, thinking that it was okay, she was not familiar with life here, so don't get into trouble, so she got into the carriage.
The silk shop is not far from the shop that sells rouge gouache and scar cream, when it opened, Song Wanyue passed by in front of this shop, and praised the good business of this shop, but I didn't expect it to be my grandmother's.
The carriage stopped at the door of the store, and as soon as Song Wanyue came down, Jin Hao's surprised voice sounded, "Miss Song, why are you here?" ”
He is the guy in this shop, and he is in charge of greeting customers at the door today.
Hearing his voice, Topaz, who was about to get out of the carriage, turned red.
Song Wanyue saw it in her eyes, and then looked at Jin Hao, who was full of spring breeze and full of spirit from the inside out, and said with a smile, "We came to find Shopkeeper Liu, is he there?" ”
"In, in, please, I'll ask the shopkeeper to come over."
"Don't worry, there's still someone in the carriage."
Jin Hao looked over and saw that Huang Yu was getting off the carriage, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to help. His hands were stretched out, and he remembered that Song Wanyue was still beside him, so he hurriedly took it back, and stammered with a red face, "Huang, Miss Huang." ”
Topaz blushed and whispered.
"Hurry up, please, I'll call the shopkeeper."
After speaking, he ran to the backyard, but after a while, a man about the same age as Mama Wu hurried over from behind with a hem of his clothes, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on Song Wanyue.
These days, he has heard too many rumors about Song Wanyue, and he is very curious about what kind of person Song Wanyue is? It can cause a sensation again and again in Beijing, and now when I see it, it is really as I imagined, carved in powder, exquisite, quiet and generous.
Saluted, his voice was slightly excited, "The little one has seen Miss Sun." ”
Song Wanyue helped him out, "Shopkeeper Liu is polite, I came to look for you today." ”
"Miss Sun, please speak."
"I want to rent a big boat, and my grandmother said you're familiar with the docks."
"Yes, the little one has been dealing with people on the docks for decades."
"That's the trouble for Shopkeeper Liu."
Shopkeeper Liu waved his hand again and again and told the men to prepare the carriage.
Song Wanyue took the opportunity to help Jin Hao take half a day off, let him accompany Huang Yu to buy things, and then send people back to Nancheng.
Shopkeeper Liu thought that Huang Yu was Song Wanyue's maid just now, but when he heard her tell Jin Hao, he understood a little, and immediately approved his leave.
The carriage drove over, and Shopkeeper Liu went up, led the way in front, and came to the dock outside the city.
The wharf is very large, passenger ships and merchant ships dock in different locations, and Shopkeeper Liu is very familiar with the people here, so he went directly to the manager. Hearing that they were going to rent a large boat, the steward brought them over and pointed to a large boat docked in the middle, "This is the largest here, and can accommodate a hundred and ten people." ”
"Can I go up and have a look?"
The steward shouted to the boat, "Wang Wu, there are guests who want to rent a boat." ”
With the response, a stout man got off the boat, he was the owner of the boat, and when he saw a few people, he thought it was the shopkeeper Liu who wanted to rent the boat, and asked, "Where do you want to go if you want to rent a boat?" ”
"Go to Gangnam."
"Jiangnan?"
Wang Wuda was overjoyed, it would take more than 20 days to go to Jiangnan, he hadn't taken such a big deal for a long time, so he immediately smiled and invited a few people to get on the boat.
In the distance, Wu Sheng watched all this and whispered a few words to his entourage.
