Chapter 6 Delivering Messages
When Song Yao heard that Jiang Wanning was going to Suji Silk Village, his heart was stunned.
Jiang Wanning wouldn't be under the guise of buying winter clothes, but she actually passed on the news that Song Yu was going to harm her, right?
The suppleness and affection she has made in the past few days won't all be fakes, right?
After thinking about it, Jiang Wanning didn't know about poisoning.
"The eldest lady not only asked Mama Wang to accompany her, but also called Wu Niang, saying that she asked Wu Niang to pick up a few pieces of good material to make new clothes and wear them at the birthday banquet." Cui Mama said: "Madam, if you want to know if the eldest lady really lets go of the mustard in her heart, this is an opportunity." ”
Song Yao nodded: "Even if she really says anything to the shopkeeper of Silk Village, don't worry, let's just make a noise between the little couple, you let Qing'e keep an eye on it." ”
The next day, Jiang Wanning and Wu Niang saw Song Yu waiting by the carriage as soon as they went out.
"Brother, what are you doing here?" Wu Niang asked.
Song Yu stepped forward with a smile: "I heard that you are going to the Silk Village, and there is nothing to do today anyway, so I will simply accompany you to go shopping." ”
The corners of Jiang Wanning's lips hooked up with an almost undetectable sneer, Song Yu wanted to monitor her!
Wu Niang instructed her subordinates to prepare another carriage.
Song Yu hurriedly stopped: "No, I have a horse." ”
He didn't want to ride in the same car with Jiang Wanning, if he let Ziyin know, Ziyin would make trouble again.
Song Yu looked at Jiang Wanning, and through the curtain, he couldn't see what her expression was at the moment.
But she didn't have to think about it to know that she must have been disappointed and wanted him to ride with her.
Jiang Ji Silk Village is open on the lively Changle Street.
Shopkeeper Yang Xu, account room Wen Liu.
After the two of them made a marriage agreement between the Su and Song families, they were sent to Jiangcheng to buy an industry, open a silk village, and help the little lady take care of the marriage.
It is really a little lady with a pure heart and a weak temperament, and Ningchuan is thousands of miles away from Jiangcheng, if the little lady encounters any difficulties, her family is out of reach, and the owner can only help her in this way.
But since the little lady got married, they have only seen the little lady in the first three months, and every time they come to the door to ask to see, they are politely rejected by the Song family for various reasons, not that the little lady occasionally feels cold, or that the little lady is meeting guests.
And every time it is Qing'e who comes to send them away, it is said that Qing'e is the most powerful and calm person around the little lady, and they should believe that Qing'e is. But I never saw the little lady, and I didn't implement it in my heart.
The two were drinking tea in the backyard of the shop, thinking about going to Song's house again at the end of this month, and seeing the little lady no matter what.
As a result, the guy Xiao Pershing ran over in a hurry: "Shopkeeper, Mr. Wen, the little lady is here." ”
The two were stunned for a moment and hurriedly went out to greet them.
"Uncle, little lady......" When the two saw that Song Yu was also here, they suppressed their excitement and gave Song Yu a gift first, and then a gift to their little lady.
Jiang Wanning said lightly: "Shopkeeper Yang, the Song Mansion wants to make winter clothes, you let people take Mama Wang to choose the materials, and at the end of this month, my mother-in-law will have her birthday, and the family will add new clothes, you recommend one or two." ”
Such an indifferent tone, as well as such an unfamiliar title as "Shopkeeper Yang", looks like a businessman......
Yang Xu only felt a basin of cold water poured on his head, and his heart was cold.
In the past, Ah Ning called him Uncle Yang, was very close to him, and always coquettishly with him.
All right! Ah Ning is already a wife, so she should be more steady.
Yang Xu raised a smile: "Xiao Pan, take Mama Wang to pick up the materials." ”
Song Yu came for the first time, and couldn't help but look around at this shop, the shops of the five bays, the shelves were full of all kinds of fabrics, silk and satin.
I heard that there are some precious materials, which can only be bought here in the whole river city.
The Jiang family's financial resources are abundant.
"Uncle, what do you want?" Yang Xu asked.
Song Yu retracted his gaze when he heard this, and said, "Wu Niang, you go and pick it, you have a good eye." ”
Jiang Wanning knew that Song Yu was going to follow her every step today.
It didn't matter, it was all expected by her.
Jiang Wanning said: "Mr. Wen, how is the income in the shop?" Bring me the books. ”
Wen Liu ran slightly: "Uncle, please go to the elegant room in the little lady, I'll go get the account book." ”
As soon as Song Yu entered the elegant room, he saw the landscape paintings hanging on the wall, his eyes couldn't help but shine, and he hurriedly came to the painting to observe it carefully, and said excitedly for a while: "This ...... Is this a painting by Mr. Kiyama? ”
Mr. Qishan is a famous painter of the previous dynasty, the best at landscape, a painting is hard to find, when the previous dynasty fell, Mr. Qishan set himself on fire in the Qishan thatched cottage, and most of his paintings were burned together. Therefore, there are very few paintings by Mr. Qishan in the world today, and each one is extremely precious.
I didn't expect that there was a pair of Jiang Ji silk in the village.
Song Yu was so enthusiastic that he couldn't wait to take the painting for himself.
Jiang Wanning saw Song Yu's greedy gaze and smiled slightly: "This painting was purchased by my father for a lot of money, saying that when Lang Jun takes the exam next year, let Lang Jun take it to Zhao Taishi, and he will be able to worship him, so that Lang Jun's future will be stable." ”
A fool who doesn't distinguish between true and fake, how can the real work be hung in the silk village?
When my father got the original handiwork, he asked the imitation master to imitate one, because Uncle Wen liked it, so he gave the imitation to Uncle Wen.
Song Yu was overjoyed: "Uncle Yue has a heart." ”
Although he likes this painting, it is really better to enjoy it at home than to exchange it for a future.
As we all know, Mr. Zhao Taishi's favorite painting is Mr. Qishan.
"Since this painting was prepared for me by my father-in-law, can I bring it back now, my mother's birthday banquet, I am going to invite my classmates and friends, Jiangcheng celebrities, and I can invite everyone to watch it together."
Song Yu was sure that Jiang Wanning would agree.
Wasn't she willing to give up everything for him? What's the point of a mere painting?
Jiang Wanning said gently: "It's not that the concubine is unwilling, the father of this painting has explained the specific purpose, and it is kept by the shopkeeper Yang, and the concubine can't be the master, but ...... After you and I leave, this painting can be given to Lang Jun, which can be regarded as the friendship between the two families. ”
Song Yu was slightly stunned, she didn't agree?
Want to use this painting to blackmail him and leave?
If you want to reconcile, you can't do this painting alone.
So Song Yu said with an unswerving expression: "Why do you mention peace and leave again." ”
Wen Liu took the account book: "Lady, please take a look." ”
Jiang Wanning lifted the curtain fence, took the account book and looked at it.
Song Yu was playing with a heart-turning bottle, but his mind was on Jiang Wanning's side, preventing Jiang Wanning from saying something that shouldn't be said.
Wen Liu secretly looked at the little lady.
The little lady was obviously carefully dressed, painted her eyebrows, wiped her rouge, wiped her lipstick, looked white and pink, and her face was ruddy, but her face was only big with a palm, and when the little lady got married, she still had a plump goose egg face!
Mr. Wen is very distressed, the owner has three sons, only this one girl, born in pink carving, docile temperament, the owner of the lady died early, so the owner especially dotes on the little lady, and these old guys also take her as an eyeball.
The owner tried his best to let her marry into a scholarly family, thinking that he had arranged a good home for her, but now it seems that the little lady is not doing well in the Song family.
Wen Liu wanted to ask the little lady, but her aunt was there, and she swallowed the words when she came to her mouth.
Jiang Wanning closed the account book and handed it back to Wen Liu, tapped her middle finger twice on the account book, and said: "This year's income is 20% less than the same period last year, isn't business good?" ”
Wen Liu was slightly stunned, pinched the account book in his hand, and replied: "Dayuan's annual tribute has increased again, and now there is a shortage of silk brocade on the market, Jiang Ji is an old brand, and he can still get some goods, and many silk shops can't get the goods at all." ”
The little lady didn't read last year's account books at all, so she said that the income was less than 20%, Wen Liu estimated that the little lady was intentionally crying poor, so she followed the words of the little lady.
Jiang Wanning's heart is in a daze, Dayuan is a tribute?
Why is Daqi going to pay tribute to Dayuan?
Could it be the result of the defeat in the First Battle of Gubei three years ago?
Putting aside the doubts in her heart for the time being, Jiang Wanning said: "I see, can you make up 10,000 taels before the end of the month?" ”
Wen Liu hesitated: "At the end of the month...... The rent of the shop was received, plus the income from the silk shop...... Probably not almost. ”
"You must have enough for me, I'm useful."
"Yes!" Wen Liu knew that the money must be for the Song family.
The Song family is really insatiable, and they have already taken eight shops and two Zhuangzi from the hands of the little lady, and if it goes on like this, the little lady's marriage will be wiped out by the Song family.
"In four days, you will send three thousand taels first."
"Yes."
Jiang Wanning's name was Song Yu: "Lang Jun, Wu Niang should have picked the ingredients, let's take a look." ”
When the two went out, Wen Liu opened the account book and saw a note inside.
