Chapter 105: Chongyang Poetry and Painting Charity Sale
Lin Ruyu had heard Shen Ge mention Zheng Changming several times, and he was no stranger to this person, but he was curious why he suddenly came to visit his second uncle at home.
Second Master Lin said proudly, "I met Zheng Gongzi when I was listening to a book in Wanxiang Teahouse, and I hit him off at first sight."
Although the shop of Wanxiang Teahouse is small and simple, because Shen Ge spent a lot of money to hire a very eloquent storyteller, it attracted many idlers who listened to books.
Her second uncle and Zheng Changming, who came to pay homage to Mrs. Taishou, are rich and idle people.
The Lin family is a businessman, and the second uncle is a concubine, and it is indeed a happy thing to be able to make friends with the son of the county Cheng. Lin Ruyu smiled and nodded, "Don't snub your guests, second uncle go quickly, just leave the rest to me."
"Okay, I'll go out and have a look."
Although Fang Cai's play is the protagonist sung by Lin Erye, the idea was thought of by the niece and the housekeeper, and the board was filmed by the sister-in-law. He sang and quit, it was his niece's turn to sing the leading role, Second Master Lin was harmless when he wasn't here, and he was also curious why Zheng Changming suddenly came to him.
In terms of age, Lin Erye is twenty-nine this year, and Zheng Changming is twenty. In terms of identity, one of the two is a businessman's concubine, and the other is an official's son-in-law, so it is said that they can't get together. Zheng Changming had the idea of drawing a picture of Lin Ruyu's beauty, and deliberately approached to please Lin Erye, and after getting together, he found that the two were quite in love, and then they came and went and showed their true affection.
After being invited into the front hall of the Lin family, Zheng Changming directly explained his intentions, "Yesterday, the younger brother was eating in Fanghua Garden, and I heard that the garden scenery in the second brother's mansion is not inferior to Fanghua Garden, so I came cheekily today."
Second Master Lin said frankly, "The garden in my house is far worse than Fanghua Garden, and the reason why it is a little famous is because my old man liked strange stones when he was alive, and pulled back two boats of stones from Taihu Lake, and built a water stone landscape in the garden, which can barely be seen."
When Zheng Changming heard this, his eyes lit up, "Can the little brother enter and feast his eyes?"
Ruyu was discussing in the study in the front yard, Rumei went to the clan study, and the sister-in-law was recuperating in the room, so there was nothing inconvenient to go to the garden at this time. Second Master Lin smiled and nodded, "If the son doesn't dislike it, let's go to the garden for tea?"
"I don't dislike it, of course I don't dislike it." Second Master Lin was so happy, which made Zheng Changming very happy, and followed him into the garden.
The garden in the forest house covers an area of six acres and six, although the landscape pavilions, flowers and trees in it are not as delicate and luxurious as Fanghua Garden, but it is full of ingenuity and elegance, and there is no smell of merchant copper.
This garden, which is full of the thoughts of the owner, not only made Zheng Changming sincerely praise, but also He Jiongming, the son of King An who followed him, was also very satisfied.
If An Ziyuan's identity hadn't been discovered, this would be the place where he stayed.
Lin Fang, the mother of the Lin family, is the daughter of the Fang family in Chuzhou, and the Fang family is a family of the big family in Chuzhou, and even if the daughter raised is degenerate and marries a businessman, she will not throw away the bearing of the noble daughter of the family.
No wonder, the Lin family was able to raise a good daughter like Lin Ruyu, who was as clever and intelligent as Lin Ruyu, and had no businessmen and no vulgarity.
He Jiongming raised his head and looked around for Lin Ruyu's figure.
At this time, four fine silks were unfurled in the study in the front yard, namely peacock green, hibiscus red, daylily yellow and dai color.
The patches and strips of variegated color on the plain fine silk were very eye-catching, and the big shopkeeper of the silk village lowered his head and did not dare to say a word. ….
Although the girl didn't say a word when she was dealing with the ship's steward, Lin Mao didn't dare to underestimate the eldest daughter of the Lin family.
Out of intuition, Lin Mao felt that today's second master's unusually calm and sophisticated must have something to do with Lin Ruyu. The second master and the girl holding the seal letter were actually fourteen-year-old girls, supplemented by the second master who was nearly thirty years old.
This sounds like a joke, but at the moment, Lin Mao feels that he is more like a joke.
These old guys, who have been stewards and shopkeepers in the Lin family's business for decades, thought that the Lin family would not be able to play without them. Therefore, even if they make a mistake, the main family will be fined for two months at most, and they will not be severely punished.
But just now, Lin Kui's errand for more than ten years as the shopkeeper of the shipping industry, he said that it was gone. His own son said that he would send the official.
The master's hand made Lin Mao soberly realize who was the master and who was the slave in the Lin family's business.
Fourteen years old
Lin Ruyu, the head of the Lin family, raised his hand and looked at the silk on the table. This batch of fabrics purchased at a high price is smooth and smooth to the touch, and it is indeed the best grade.
Lin Ruyu thought of the bohemian style of later generations, but it was a pity that the men and women in Daxia were still plain in clothing. The flowers of the women's clothes are also embroidered, delicate and beautiful.
Dyed with variegated fabrics to make robes, they don't sell for a price. Therefore, these fine silks are either sold cheaply, or they are sold in another way.
Lin Ruyu asked, "How is Uncle Mao going to sell these two hundred pieces of fine silk?"
Lin Mao immediately said, "The villain thinks that we can resell it to merchants in the Western Regions, or use our sea ships to sell overseas, and the terroir of overseas and the Western Regions is very different from that of Great Xia, so it may be able to sell it at a good price."
Maybe?
Lin Ruyu asked, "How much can a horse be sold for when it is resold to a merchant?"
Lin Mao replied, "The villain has already inquired about the price from the merchant, fifteen taels and one horse. It's a little cheaper, but it's better than being in the storeroom."
The longer the silk is stored, the worse the color will be, and the more it will not be able to sell for a price.
Lin Mao continued, "After being transported to overseas countries by our firm's sea ships, how much silver can be sold depends on luck."
Lin Ruyu nodded, she also thought of these two things. In addition, her ideas of using these fabrics to make silk flowers and landscape paintings were rejected by the second aunt and the maid in the house.
Now, there is only one thing left to try, "What do you think Uncle Mao thinks about making these fine silks into screens or curtains?"
This one......
Lin Mao, who had just been killed as an example, didn't dare to say it directly, and said euphemistically, "The girl's idea is very good, but these days, the embroidery girl in the village is rushing to sew winter clothes, and the screen and curtain will be cut and sewn as soon as next month. Fortunately, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, there are Chongyang Festival, Asian New Year and New Year, and good things are not sold."
Broken into pieces, a piece of cloth may not be sold for twenty taels of silver. He said everything that should be said, and if the girl insisted on going her own way, no matter how much money she lost, the mistress would not be able to blame him.
"There is no need for our embroidery lady to make it." Lin Ruyu instructed Yun Juan, "Go and see where the second uncle and Zheng Gongzi are, and if it's convenient, ask the second uncle to come back for a while."
Second Master Lin was soon invited back, and Lin Ruyu told the second uncle about his plan and handed him a three-foot-long daylily yellow dyed fine silk.
Second Master Lin felt that his niece's idea was very interesting, "This kind of elegant matter, Zheng Gongzi will not refuse, Jiaojiao is waiting for the good news of the second uncle!"
After Lin Erye rushed away with the fine silk, Lin Mao came back to his senses for a long time, and his sad face was swept away, if the girl's plan can be successful, these dyed fine silk on the table will be able to recover the capital!
Now that the capital has been recovered, can his son also be able to lose his hair lightly?
The more Lin Mao thought about it, the more excited he became, bowed down, and said respectfully, "Girl, can the planning and preparation of the Chongyang Poetry and Painting Charity Bazaar be handed over to the villain?"
