Chapter 335: Guarding against gentlemen and villains!
"Thank you old man Gao Yi, this price is really not high!" Someone opened his mouth to praise and got up to give the old man luggage. Regardless of sincerity or falsehood, at least the number of etiquette is sufficient!
Others also hurriedly followed and thanked one after another.
"Yes, thank you, old man!"
"The old man really did a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people!"
"Tai'an County will really prosper because of cashmere clothes and pants in the future, and it is all the credit of the old man!"
The old man hurriedly returned the salute and refused to take credit.
"Ladies and gentlemen, they should all be. Fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, we are all good is really good! ”
In this way, after a few polite back and forth, I finally started to get to the point.
There were a total of fourteen shopkeepers in the house, including Steward Min, one of them paid one hundred taels of silver tickets and signed a simple contract with Old Man Tai.
It was agreed that the Tai family would send someone to teach, and each family would send someone to study, and within half a year, each family would keep it secret and no longer disclose the weaving method to outsiders.
Of course, this agreement is to guard against gentlemen, not villains.
Whoever revealed it, everyone had no way to take him, and they couldn't even find out.
But there is a contract, and everyone still feels that they have the bottom in their hearts......
Soon, everyone dispersed, and they all went home to find the most dexterous embroidery girl to send to study.
The old man also sent a veteran to drive home to pick up Chunhong, the weaving method is simple, but it will definitely teach everyone in one afternoon!
The old man entrusted the small courtyard to Steward Min, and then took Zhuzhu to visit Mr. Wu.
During the lunch break, Mr. Wu and Mrs. Wu were gossiping after dinner, and a few red plums in front of the window had not bloomed because they were not cold enough, which made it difficult for the husband and wife to look forward to it.
Suddenly heard that the old man Tai was coming with his little granddaughter, and the couple were a little surprised.
After Steward Wu warmly welcomed the grandfather and grandson, Mrs. Wu hurriedly hugged Zhuzhu and sat in her arms, and said happily, "But I haven't seen Zhuzhu for a few days?" Now that it's cold, why did you go into the city instead? Is it cold on the road? ”
"It's not cold, Master!" Zhuzhu gossiped with Mrs. Wu in a milky voice, "Zhuzhu and Grandpa have already come and eaten snacks at Uncle Min's. ”
Mr. Wu listened to it, and asked while pouring tea for the old man, "Why did Uncle Tai come over, but there is something at home looking for Yongning?" ”
How many times has Old Man Tai heard Yongning say that Mr. and his wife treat him very well, so he is not polite, and after taking a sip of hot tea, he said, "Sir, we are not looking for Yongning this time, but there is a trust to bother Mr. and Mrs." ”
"Oh, the old man has something to say. If we can help, we will not refuse. Mr. Wu became more and more curious, knowing that he had known each other for so long, and he was very familiar with the temperament of the Tai family.
The Tai family often reaches out to help others, and almost all the people in the villages are sheltered by the Tai family, but in fact, the Tai family rarely asks for help in front of others, and has a kind of tenacity and vigorous vitality of roadside weeds.
Today's face-to-face request was really unexpected for him, and he was curious about what was going on.
The old man glanced at his granddaughter, the fat girl was sitting in Mrs. Wu's arms, not the slightest bit uneasy, but pulling the purse on Mrs. Wu's waist to play happily.
He sighed and whispered, "Sir, you don't know. Our cashmere pants business was targeted by nobles from Kyoto, intending to take advantage of it. By chance, our family learned the news this morning.
"I urgently found some shopkeepers, and under the pretext of Yongning's future and name, I sold more than a dozen copies of cashmere clothes and pants at a price of one hundred and twenty copies. I believe that after tonight, many people in this city will learn that cashmere clothes and pants are not only our unique business, but the business of the entire Tai'an County.
"I hope that in this way, our family can escape the persecution of the nobles of Kyoto. But the world is unpredictable, there is still one in 10,000 miles, if the family suffers, it can't affect the children. So, tomorrow, I want to entrust Zhuzhu to our house and live for three or five days.
"If the matter passes, we will definitely take Zhuzhu away immediately, but if there is a good one in the family, please ask Mr. to take care of Zhuzhu and Yongning for a few more days, and when my family Jiye comes back from the grassland, they will naturally have a fall."
Mr. Wu and Mrs. Wu didn't expect that the old man was actually a orphan!
Both of them changed their faces, Mrs. Wu was worried about the Tai family and felt sorry for Zhuzhu, but Mr. Wu deeply hated the emperor for being mediocre and powerful.
"How can it be!" Mr. Wu immediately stood up, "Who is the person in Kyoto, who dares to bully the people like this, and force them to buy and sell?" ”
The old man glanced outside the door, and saw that only Steward Wu was strictly guarding, so he motioned for Mr. Wu to sit down, and then pointed his finger to the roof, and responded, "It's one of those dragons, I can't say much about the specifics, after all, the person who reported the news took a big risk, and he can't even cause people to eat and hang up!"
"Speaking of which, our family has also made a lot of money because of the cashmere business, and now we don't lose money even if we give up this business. People live in the world, and they are most afraid of lack of greed, which can be regarded as a benefit to our Tai'an County.
When the limelight passes, our family workshop can still continue to knit cashmere clothes and pants without delay. ”
Hearing that the old man was so open-minded, he did not feel resentment and dissatisfaction, and both Mr. Wu and Mrs. Wu admired him.
Mrs. Wu immediately promised, "Don't worry, old man, I will definitely take care of Zhuzhu in the next few days." ”
Old Man Tai hurriedly got up and saluted and thanked him, and Mr. Wu helped him sit down with his own hands, and comforted him a few more words.
The old man saw that the sun was still high, so he said goodbye to Mr. Wu and Mrs. Wu, and took Zhuzhu to talk to the half-fairy.
Banxian'er really has some ability, just listening to the footsteps of the old man, he knew that the old friend was coming with his baby granddaughter, and immediately called the bun stall next to him to send a few hot meat buns.
Old man Tai laughed, and he was not polite, sitting in front of the stall with his granddaughter in his arms, and munching on steamed buns.
Banxian'er fumbled and took out a few copper coins, and asked the old man to scatter them.
The old man didn't refuse, and threw it away.
Banxian'er swayed left and right, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and whispered, "Brother, don't get angry, although there are some twists and turns in the family, there are no big problems." ”
Old Man Tai was surprised and asked, "I didn't say a word, how do you know that there is something at home?" ”
The half-fairy stroked her beard proudly and responded, "Hmph, I don't have any ability at all, how dare I call the half-fairy!" However, I only counted that there was something in your family, but I didn't know if it was auspicious or evil. Originally, I wanted to go to the village, but you came first.
"Just now, if you throw a handful of money, I will completely understand! It's a simple thing, there is a specialization in the art industry, and you don't understand it. ”
The old man rolled his eyes and retorted, "I know I don't understand, you still say it!" ”
The two old men were bickering, and Zhuzhu was holding the white fat meat buns, giggling and watching the excitement while trying to eat.
After spending an hour like this, the Wu Family School was also dismissed.
