Chapter 81: Jinyue Hutong
Spring and summer intersect, from the colorful and soft spring to the exuberant summer, the days seem long, but they feel like just the blink of an eye.
Before you know it, April has passed, and the May day seems to be getting hot.
When Geng Xingshuang arrived at the shop, he found that the sales of summer clothes had far exceeded those of spring clothes.
In fact, at this time, it won't be hot in spring clothes, and it won't freeze in summer clothes, Geng Xingshuang thought that it would be five or five.
"The best ones sold now are the five poison clothes, and even those purse sachets and handkerchiefs embroidered with centipedes and scorpions are also sold very well, and the hands of the are really skillful, she made a lot of small headdresses of centipedes and geckos, as well as various trinkets pinned to the front of the clothes and hung around the waist, and hundreds of them were sold this morning alone."
Don't look at the cheap sales of those jewelry, the small ones are more than a dozen Wen, the big ones are more than 20 Wen, and the most expensive ones only need more than 40 Wen, but these things are not only made quickly, but also have very few materials, and the cost is very low, which is very profitable.
But Mom and Mother Wen feel that it's a pity that once these things pass Duanyang, they can't be sold.
Geng Xingshuang said: "There are so many festivals in a year, each festival can wear different clothes, Duanyang has passed the Mid-Autumn Festival, there is Chongyang after the Mid-Autumn Festival, there is the Winter Solstice after the Chongyang Festival, there is Laba after the Winter Solstice, don't worry, even if there is no festival, our business is also very good."
"What the girl said is very true, but we are in love!" But Mom laughed.
Mother Wen also teased herself: "The two of us, a lot of age, don't have a little boss to see it, it's too greedy!"
Geng Xingshuang saw them like this, knowing that her mother and Wen's mother cooperated very well, so she was relieved.
The division of labor between the two is clear, but the mother is mainly responsible for the sale of clothes in the shop, and the mother is in charge of the daily life of the garmenters and embroiderers and the new goods in the shop.
One of the two is in and the other is out.
As soon as May arrives, the Duanyang Festival will soon arrive.
Jinbao has long heard that this year's Duanyang, the government will hold a dragon boat race in Luxun River.
"I haven't held a dragon boat race in Luxun River for two years, why did I hold it again this year?"
The curtain was a little surprised.
Jin Bao said: "That's because the government is afraid that there are too many people in Ningdu City, and the dragon boat race is held in the Luxun River, and everyone rushes to the river bank to watch the game, and there are accidents such as stampede and falling into the river, so the dragon boat race was held in the Dayuan River outside the city two years ago."
The curtain nodded, "Yes, aren't you afraid of accidents this year?" ”
"Because the mansion of the government has changed." Jin Bao said, "It used to be Cao Fu Yin, and now the Fu Yin is surnamed Lu, I heard that this Lord Lu used to be the prefect of Yuzhou Mansion, and he returned to Beijing last winter to report on his work, because he was promoted to Ningdu Mansion Yin because he was assessed every year. ”
Although they are all prefects, Ningdu is the capital of Daning, Ningdu Mansion Yin is the third product, and Yuzhou Governor is the fourth product.
Moreover, Ningdu officials already have more advantages than foreign officials, Ningdu is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and the Ningdu Mansion is in charge of Ningdu's affairs, large and small, this Ningdu Mansion Yin's position has always been recognized as a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and people who are not trusted by the emperor are not competent.
"Where's Lord Cao?"
Geng Xingshuang was a little curious, whether he was promoted or demoted.
Jin Bao said: "Lord Cao is about the same age, because he is old and wants to be safe and stable, so there have been no activities on many festivals in Ningdu City in the past two years."
"How did you know that?"
Geng Xingshuang asked, Jinbao is very well-informed about the news in Bofu, not only because she is very popular, but also because she has a pair of sensitive ears.
But how can I even know things from the outside, and even things like the promotion of officials?
Jinbao was proud, "It was Sister Wu Juan who told me." ”
"You're on good terms with them."
Geng Xingshuang was not surprised that Zhan Pei and Wu Juan could hear this, after all, there was a bamboo sword among them.
Zhu Jian is a person from the Zhenguo Mansion, or is he smart and smart that has been certified by Zhu Yan, so he naturally has some skills.
Speaking of Zhenguo Mansion and Zhu Yan, the next day, Zhu Yan came to Bofu and invited her and Geng Xingchen to watch the dragon boat race together on that day in Duanyang.
"Qin Tianjian has already calculated, the weather is very good the day after tomorrow, but it is a little hot, our family has been assigned a pergola on the bank of the river, my mother and my sister-in-law are definitely going to accompany my aunt, and then I and my second sister will be in the shed, it is really boring, you must accompany me, and Sister Chen, Xue Fu and Lianyang can also go together if they want, then everyone will watch together, it will be lively, by the way, and Aunt Ruan, if she is ......"
"My mother definitely doesn't want to be with us juniors, she will have a headache when she listens to our big noise, and besides, do you really want to invite my mother to go?"
Zhu Yan didn't even want to accompany the old lady of Zhenguo and the county lord of Shanning, so she didn't believe that she really wanted to find an elder to sit in the town.
"Don't wronged me, I sincerely invited Aunt Ruan, and Aunt Ruan is not like my grandmother and my mother, who have always been in charge of everything."
Geng Xingshuang stared at her for a while, found that she didn't have the slightest weakness, and nodded, "Okay, I believe you this time, but you didn't invite anyone else?" ”
In addition to her, Zhu Yan also has some friends from famous families.
Zhu Yan waved his hand, "They either have a shed at home that day, or they have elders to accompany, forget it, let's see, feel comfortable." ”
Geng Xingshuang listened to her, guessed where she should have hit the wall, and didn't ask, she happily went to her pergola to watch the dragon boat race, and went to Wutong Courtyard with her, invited Geng Xingchen, Geng Xingchen's eyes lit up after hearing it, and he immediately responded.
The three of them went to Jiang's house together, invited Jiang Xuefu, and then turned back to Chaoxing Street to find Xu Lianyang, but Xu Lianyang was not there, Xu Huan said that she went to the doctor.
Seeing that Xu Huan seemed to be unhappy, Geng Xingshuang's heart moved, and asked, "Didn't Sister Xu go to Jinyue Hutong again?" Didn't you say that you could not go later? ”
"I just went to Jinyue Hutong, or that house, I haven't been there for the past two days, I asked my sister, and it was indeed cured, but just now the housekeeper of that house suddenly ran over in a panic, saying that their grandmother had an accident, and pointed out that he wanted his sister to go to see it, and my grandfather was not at ease, so he also followed."
Xu Huan was really bored by the family in Jinyue Hutong, the family was arrogant and domineering, and threatened at every turn, which was finally able to get rid of it, and it didn't take two days to come again.
Geng Xingshuang comforted Xu Huan a few words, and asked him to tell Xu Lianyang that they would go to the pergola of the Zhenguo Mansion to watch the dragon boat race the day after tomorrow, and then they left Yannian Hall with Zhuyan Geng Xingchen, just thinking in their hearts, do you want to inquire about who the family in Jinyue Hutong is.
Zhu Yan was also very curious about the family in Jinyue Hutong, but she was born in the top-level powerful town Guogong Mansion, and she was much more sensitive than Geng Xingshuang.
Just after hearing the characteristics of the family in Jinyue Hutong from Xu Huan, she faintly had some guesses in her heart.
Geng Shuhuai: Have you forgotten me, it stands to reason that I should have come back a long time ago.
Author: Why didn't you come back, you didn't count it in your heart!
