Entering night.
Shenjing City, Guanyin Temple Street in the southwest.
The eight major exhibitions in the capital are the old name of Dongsheng.
The Zhao family in Dongsheng and the Wang family in the Hang Seng have been old rivals for decades. The Wang family in the Hang Seng Seng has a Minister of Rites as their backing, but the Zhao family in Dongsheng also has a left censor of the Censorate as the backstage.
Everyone is in a quarrel with each other, and the match is equal.
The Wang family’s Hang Seng distribution blue is the most colorful.
However, the popular red market in the Zhao family Dongsheng is unparalleled in the world and is loved by the world.
Originally, this situation was difficult to break because even though any officialdom was a bit bad, for decades, both major brands have built a strong enough foundation with gold and silver and official connections. In a short period of time, as long as you don’t commit suicide, there will be basically no problem.
However, no one expected that an accident would happen...
In the back house of Dongsheng, the second master of the Zhao family and several shopkeepers sat in the main hall, and the atmosphere was solemn.
On the table next to Zhao Donglin, the second master of the Zhao family, was placed with a foot of cloth, which was dazzling blue.
On the other side, there is a narrow strand of red cloth, which is even more dazzling.
There were two rows of chairs under the hall. Zhao Donglin looked at the first person on his right and asked: Manager Sun, you are the first shopkeeper of the Dongsheng pipe dyed cloth trough. He was also a master craftsman. Look at what these two pieces of cloth are?
After the shopkeeper Sun's eyes paused on the two pieces of cloth on the table, he frowned tightly and said: Second master, generally speaking, dyeing blue cloth is made of earth alkali, soju, lime, and cowhide glue as auxiliary materials, and then using blue indigo to dye it coldly for many times, and finally it became colored.There are naturally some secret recipes for the Hang Seng Wang family, but the dyed cloth will not be much worse at all.But this piece of blue cloth is not the case.After I got the cloth, I took someone to wash the cloth with rice paste, and found that the cloth was not dyed with blue indigo at all, but made of mixed colors.This is true for blue cloth, and so is the case for red cloth.
When Zhao Donglin heard this, he was silent for a moment and asked: In other words, unless we get the prescription, we cannot make such a color ourselves?
Manager Sun's face was gloomy and he shook his head and sighed: There is no possibility.
Zhao Donglin said again: Then, if the Hang Seng gets the prescription for this red cloth, we...
As soon as these words were spoken, even though many shopkeepers were worried, they still changed their faces when they were asked about it.
Manager Sun sighed and said: Then, our Dongsheng will be in trouble!
The old shopkeeper in the left hand stood up and shouted: You must not let Hengsheng get this prescription!This is to dig the roots of our Dongsheng!
Several other shopkeepers agreed: Yes, this is extremely true!If Hang Seng can do it, that would be amazing.
A young and strong shopkeeper stood up and said with a resentful look on his face: Second Master, I heard that the owner of this prescription is not as good as us...
Zhao Donglin's expression darkened when he heard this and shouted: Bastard!I heard, which bastard did you hear?This person was dealt with immediately.I don’t have much to follow, I don’t have much to follow, can the Hang Seng Wang family give him 30,000 silver?Even a dog knows about him meeting the saint in the Zuixian Tower, but don’t you?This person must not have bad thoughts, sit down for me!
Another shopkeeper said: Second master, but according to the rewards of our people in the Wang family, the Hang Seng number does not seem to be ready to dye it red.If they really got this recipe, it would be impossible for them to be completely unchanged.
Zhao Donglin's expression changed when he heard this and said: Maybe, are you preparing for the dyeing trough?
The shopkeeper shook his head and said: The Hang Seng number is not only dyed blue, it is also red.We also have people in their dyeing workshop. If they get the recipe, just put them in the jar and dye them.There has been no movement now, which shows that the Hang Seng may not have obtained the prescription.Second master, we still have a chance.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Donglin stood up and said: Yes, we still have a chance!!There is indeed no such red cloth in the Hang Seng number.If he really has a prescription, why should he rush to dye the blue?His family’s blueprint ranks first, and only by dyeing red can we truly hit us!
The other person shook his head and said: Second Master, even if you have the chance, Jia Qiang has already left Beijing. I'm afraid it's too late now.
Zhao Donglin asked in a deep voice: Jia Qiang, who met the Saint in the Drunken Immortal Tower, is indeed a member of the Jia family on Rongning Street?
One person hurriedly replied: Yes, it is from Ningguo Mansion.However, Jia Qiang and Ningguo Mansion seem to have broken up and have little contact.However, he had close contacts with a group of people from a side house clan named Jia Yun in Rongfu.Jia Yun is the one who helps Jia Qiang deal with the matter now.The prescription might be in his hands. The Hang Seng released thirty thousand taels of silver. I guess it was released on purpose.Otherwise, how could such a confidential matter be passed on like this?Second Master, let’s go directly to find Jia Yun’s purchase order!
Zhao Donglin got up and paced back and forth for a few times, and slowly said: Well, Jia Zhen from Ningguo Mansion...he met one time.Well, tomorrow morning, I'll take a trip myself and prepare 10,000 taels of silver notes.
All the shopkeepers were shocked and said: Second Master, Hang Seng is said to have given 30,000 taels...
Zhao Donglin sneered and said: Humph!It is naturally more expensive to find that boss, but it doesn’t take too much to go directly to his home.In this way, we will first send someone to ask Jia Yun, and Jia Qiang can leave Fangzi to come, and we are ready.As long as you make sure that the prescription is in his hands, other things will be easier to do.
This is the nature of a merchant.
……
The next morning, above the canal.
These five animals play, one is called tiger, two is called deer, three is called bear, four is called ape, and five is called bird.
In the tiger play, the limbs are separated from the ground, and the front is thrown three times, but the second is thrown, the waist is drawn, and the feet are leaning against the sky, which means the journey is back, and the front is seven times.
The deer opera artist has four limbs away from the ground, and he looks back on his neck, three left and two left and feet stretched out his feet...
The bear opera artist is holding his knees with his hands...
Puff!
Seeing Vivian learning with Li Jing, who was demonstrating the Five Animal Show, when he arrived at the Bear Show, Daiyu couldn't help but smile and shook her head and said: Xiaojing, I really can't do this... You can rest.
Li Jing felt helpless when she heard this, but after Li Fu used ginseng soup last night, his breath became much calmer, and he saved his life, making her grateful to Daiyu from the bottom of her heart. With Jia Qiang's advice, everything went with Daiyu and said with a smile: Don't be in a hurry, the tiger and bear are indecent, my aunt can learn deer opera first.
Daiyu nodded with a smile, but did not say whether to learn or not. After letting Li Jing and Vivian sit down, Zijuan came to tea.
Vivian looked at the green-glazed orchid teapot and the white-backed porcelain cup on the table and sighed: It's so beautiful. I had seen some porcelain from the country in the Tianjin General Town Government, and thought it was the most beautiful, but compared with this, that one was simply a clay pot.
Zijuan smiled and said: You foreign woman are so weird that you can speak.
Vivian didn't like this title and shook his head and said: My name is not a foreign lady, my name is Vivian.
Daiyu hurriedly smiled and said: She is sneering with you.
Vivian shrugged and said with a smile: OK, then I am also smirking.
After everyone smiled, she asked her to enjoy the porcelain cup of Huiqing Danbai on her hand. Daiyu asked Li Jing: How did you become the leader of the young gang?
Li Jing smiled and did not hide it. She talked about how to raise a man when she was young, how to practice martial arts, how to grow up step by step, how to fight in the world, how to run around the world, how to negotiate with other gangs, and how to fight and grab territory if the negotiation fails.
Even if I only choose the wonderful ones, it took me an hour and a half.
Not to mention Daiyu, Zijuan and Xueyan were so stunning that they could hear it, even Vivian stopped admiring the stubbornness and listened attentively.
After he finished speaking, Daiyu sighed: It’s really not easy for you... But she was a little puzzled, and she endured it and asked carefully: Xiaojing, you are so powerful, how could you be a housekeeper for Brother Qiang?
This really doesn't fit her character as a female boss in the world...
After hearing this, Li Jing smiled and then told her how she and Jia Qiang didn't know each other, how she became a business partner, how she was bullied by the prince of the Huai'an Marquis's family, how Jia Qiang stood up to protect her. Finally, Jia Qiang agreed to her irrational requests.
Not to mention Daiyu, Zijuan and Aunt Xue were stunned after hearing this, and even Vivian said it was incredible, because even in the West, after a woman gets married, her surname will be changed to her husband, let alone children.
Zijuan said incredibly: Did Master Xiao Qiang really agree to you?
I'm afraid that only the son-in-law will do this?
But the son-in-law is the most despised man in the world...
Seeing them behave like this, Li Jing smiled and said: So, I am willing to be a concubine.
Xueyan curled her lips and said: You are not a concubine. You live in the Li family. You don’t have to stand the rules, or raise your children to your wife’s name. Moreover, Xiao Qiang’s second-class parents are gone... You don’t have to be locked at home. If you want to go out, go out. You are more comfortable than your wife!
She was a little jealous...
Xueyan is a maid and is a slave. She will get married in the future. Even if Daiyu lets her go out of the country, she will probably not be able to live to the point of Li Jing.
Daiyu was funny watching from the side. Although she felt a little complicated and messy, she still blessed: Brother Qiang'er is not with her parents, and the clan... she can't care about him.He is most convinced of his promise. Since he has agreed, I think he really promised it to you.You must live a good life in the future...
This is the words of the elders, and Li Jing has to stand up and listen to the teachings...
Sit down quickly.
Daiyu smiled and said: No need to be polite. Brother Qiang doesn’t recognize me as his aunt. He always said that he was a distant relative.
Li Jing didn't know how to answer, and Daiyu didn't bother her and asked: Where is Brother Qiang?
Vivian replied on the side: I know I know. Last night, Jia asked me to write a letter to Uncle George, and then early this morning, he asked his entourage to get off the boat and rode a fast horse to Yangzhou.
Daiyu was surprised: What letter?
Just ask Uncle George to treat your father Ah!
Vivian smiled and Li Jing added: Our grandfather said it was still too slow to take the boat. He sent someone to rush the horse, without caring about horsepower, and without having to be stingy with money. He asked someone to take the letter to Yangzhou first to find Uncle George of Vivian to treat your father.Our master said that you can’t take your great kindness in vain.It was originally supposed to be my own way, but I was worried about my father...
In fact, logic is to take the canal closer, and the actual roads by land are twice as many as those by canals.
For normal walking, the canal only takes seventeen days, while for land, twenty-eight days.
But if you speed up to 800 miles and don’t care about horsepower, you can change your horse when you are tired, so you can go to Yangzhou in seven or eight days...
Vivian grinned and said: Miss Hairfish, Jia is so nice to you.
Zijuan said angrily: It’s Daiyu, not hairtail!
Xueyan reminded: Just call me a girl.
Vivian shrugged and smiled: OK, Gu Liang!
Daiyu didn't have time to pay attention to these things, and she asked anxiously: Vivian, your uncle named Qiao can really save my dad?
Vivian shook her head and said: I don’t know, Gu Liang, I can’t lie to you.However, like Uncle George, he is proficient in medical skills and his direction is different, so maybe there is a way.I heard Jia talk about your father's disease, and I vaguely heard about this disease. My uncle seems to have a medicine in his hand to treat it, but I really can't remember it.Guliang, don’t cry, you are so beautiful, the Lord will bless you.
Daiyu was both moved and anxious and said: If I had known this, I would have said to me and bring the ginseng with me!
Li Jing smiled and said: Aunt Lin gave a lot of ginseng yesterday. Our grandfather gave half of the iron head on his body, and sent it to Yangzhou with the letter. Don't worry.Aunt Lin, let’s exercise.You are better in body, and when you arrive in Yangzhou, you can take care of your aunt more.My mother went there early. If I hadn't been a good person in recent years, I would not have been able to hold on to the present and take care of my father until now.
Daiyu was moved when she heard this, and looked at Li Jing with red eyes and said: I...I'm really okay?
Li Jing smiled and said: I was weak and sick, and it was only a little bit that I practiced some knowledge.Aunt Lin is a lady from a family, different from the wild grass like me, so she doesn’t have to practice so hard. She just practices to be stronger and doesn’t take medicine all year round.
When Daiyu heard this, she nodded slowly and said with a smile: If this is the case, it is also my blessing.
But I was still thinking about whether her father could be saved...
