Chapter 12: Business

"You're just laughing." Li Fuchao said firmly.

"No, I was born to smile lips." Zhu Xingchun thought about it for a while, and after a while, his expression was as usual, and he said awe-inspiringly.

Li Fuchao was visibly silent to the naked eye, but the guard behind him interjected at this moment: "Young Master, we have rested long enough, and it is time to leave." From tomorrow, you have to go to the academy to review your homework, and the old man means that if you don't have the intention of starting a family, you will strive for next spring......"

Li Fuchao raised his eyelashes slightly.

"I don't have a character, I love to wander around, what's the difference between starting a family and harming other girls' lives?"

"The old man thought that he was so easy to make a grass butterfly to gain fame? Even if the seedlings are promoted, there should be a posture of momentum. Speaking of this, thinking that this was not in his own house, Li Fuchao wanted to roll his eyes, but he couldn't hold back.

So, the skillful Young Master Li glanced at them obliquely, "Those are all great talents who have studied hard for decades, what should I do to fight with others, and go on stage to dance a twenty-four-style Qinglian sword technique to the examiner to help everyone?" ”

Zhu Xingchun suddenly interjected: "What is the name of the academy you are going to?" ”

Li Fuchao was stunned, and the attendant spoke in time: "It's Yihe Academy, not far ahead, most of the students studying in it are scholarly, and Mr. Jiaoxi is also the most qualified in the Beicheng River area." ”

"Okay, I got it." Zhu Xingchun nodded. Her gaze gradually drifted away, looking at the two vendors selling handmade products on the riverbank, and she didn't know what was thinking in her heart.

The thin arms couldn't twist several thick thighs, until the attendant took his young master away, Zhu Xingchun was still standing in place, and the jacaranda stepped forward and called her softly: "Miss? If you don't go back to the inn, it will get dark. ”

Zhu Xingchun retracted his gaze: "Tomorrow, let's not go to find a house first." Xiaoying, for the next period of time, be prepared to live in the inn for a long time. ”

Jacaranda opened her mouth wide to show puzzlement: "Huh? ”

Zhu Xingchun gathered her eyes, she had long realized that it was undoubtedly difficult for a person to do business in Yangzhou.

can pin all her hopes on a big family like the Li family, she doesn't have as much time as when she was in Beijing before, she slowly came out from the bottom, and was appreciated and trusted by the head of the family.

In addition to the faucet, the business chain of these middle and upper classes in Yangzhou has been very stable. When Jacaranda went to the street to inquire about the news today, she never found that any embroidery workshop was about to close down and could let her take over temporarily.

So the best thing to do at the moment is to stay free and cast a net on the traders, who are also privately owned. Although the risk is high, if it is successful, the return will be greater.

Being cautious does not mean cowering, and it costs a lot of silver to build a house. Before seeing considerable gains, Zhu Xingchun has always predicted the consequences of defeat first, and then imagined the fruits of victory.

She didn't have the urge to gamble on life and death.

What's more, if she wants to cooperate with a lot of owners, after having a place to live, one day everyone will come to the door at the same time, you stare at me and I look at him, wouldn't it be extremely embarrassing......

Day 2.

It rained heavily during the night, and it didn't stop until it was clear. The rain fell on the tiles of the eaves, and dripped down the veins, wetting both sides of the inn's door, and planting the willows that were still young.

Jacaranda yawned and knocked on the door next door: "Miss, are you up?" ”

There was no response from inside, so she thought about it and turned downstairs, intending to fetch breakfast and hot tea.

She is young, she is good-looking, and her speech is very organized, and the shopkeeper and the guy in the inn will always take care of her a little more, and give some sweets and sweets as an addition.

Today is the same, the jacaranda is carrying the tray and is about to go upstairs, the shopkeeper took a few glances upstairs to the room, and said casually: "Jacaranda girl, yesterday a sprinkler said that the light in your lady's room was lit for a night, and when it was approaching, he asked us to buy some plain white handkerchiefs." ”

The jacaranda was stunned for a moment, and the shopkeeper continued: "I also think that you two girls, it is really hard to come thousands of miles to make a living, so I will say a few more words." It's human nature to want to stabilize as soon as possible, but you can't practice your body like this, if something goes wrong, you have to toss just to take medicine and rest, wouldn't the gains outweigh the losses? ”

"Thank you for the shopkeeper's concern, I will supervise her today." Jacaranda pursed her lips, put the tray down, and took the initiative to bring out another piece of food, "Let's warm this first, and I'll give it to her when my young lady comes back." ”

The shopkeeper was at a loss: "When did she go out?" ”

Jacaranda smiled and didn't say anything.

She went upstairs the way she came, this time pushing open the door of the confined room.

The wind blew through the broken curtains, and in a few moments, they were about to fall one by one, and only a fine black ash remained in the charcoal basin.

It was empty.

……

Zhu Xingchun carried the small shoulder basket from yesterday and walked through the normally wet stone road.

The silence around her was empty, and everything that was dry was wet, from the glazed paper umbrella she held in her arms to the cloth socks under her feet, she stepped near the stagnant water as if she was wading.

In Yangzhou City, there are always many vendors who want to make more money while the Li family or the well-run shop has not yet opened, and they wander slowly on the street.

The county lord of Duancheng gave her a lot of silver tickets, but no matter how much money she had, she couldn't help but sit and eat empty.

What's more, it is only more than enough for her two people's livelihood, Zhu Xingchun let the jacaranda roughly estimate, if you want to make the business bigger and stronger in Yangzhou, counting the costs of manpower, raw materials, publicity, daily expenses, etc., within half a month, the two of them will have to go to the street to drink the northwest wind.

Not to mention...... Zhu Xingchun's thoughts gradually recovered. That five-year covenant, she has always remembered it.

She followed the bridge she had crossed yesterday, through several bustling streets, and finally stopped in front of a stall with an oil-paper umbrella on her head.

At first glance, the stall owner looked like a raunchy man, with a simple board bed under his umbrella and a fan covering his face. He was dozing off with his legs crossed, one of his straw shoes hanging on his feet and the other resting on the ground.

There is no good craftsmanship worth stopping Zhu Xingchun in the stall, most of them are hastily embroidered with two clusters of flowers on Supa, and there are a few landscape pictures hanging on the faΓ§ade and some stringed beads.

It was not yet dark, and the stall was in a very remote place. The surrounding area is not transparent with light, resulting in no matter whether it is a veil, a painting or a bead, it cannot see its due value.

This is a big taboo for vendors who do small businesses and sell things to beg for food.

Zhu Xingchun was silent for a while, and said to the man who was asleep: "May I ask the owner, who wrote the fish play lotus leaf with this umbrella on his head?" ”
