When I woke up in the morning, the sky was bright but the sun was no longer visible. The small yard was covered with a wet mist, hazy as smoke and rain.
After living in the capital for a while, Zhang Ning opened the window to look at the courtyard and suddenly realized that it was small and not flat and atmospheric. Outside were densely packed houses and winding alleys, and his vision was not wide.
But living here would not feel blocked at all: it is the financial and taxation area of the entire empire, the economically developed area, and the water and land transportation are well developed, and it has close contact with the capital; it is located on the coast of Nanzhi outside, and the Zheng He fleet's multiple sailings was Nanzhili, which has a certain connection with the world.
In addition, the greening is very good and the climate and environment have not been damaged. In short, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas in the Ming Dynasty were an excellent place. No wonder there is a saying that there is paradise above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below.
People at home have good daily routines and go to bed early and get up early because there is really not much entertainment at night.
After Zhang Ning finished washing up, the women had already put their breakfast on the table in the main room, and the whole family sat together to start the new day.
Uncle and his friends were still preparing things on the shop, so Zhang Ning waited for dinner in the main hall first.
Zhang Xiaomei came in with a basket of small bags and placed them on the table. When she saw him, she wiped her hands on her apron. She walked over and said softly: The things my brother gave her are so beautiful, light and thin. I washed them last night and hung them in front of the window and blew them all night and then fucked them. She was already wearing them inside.
After hearing this, Zhang Ning subconsciously glanced at her chest with his light. The raised clothes looked very soft, and his face was still stern.
Unexpectedly, when his sister-in-law Luo Yue'e came in, she heard Zhang Xiaomei's words, and asked with a smile: What did Erlang give her to her? She is so happy?
A handkerchief.
The brother and sister actually spoke in unison, quite a tacit understanding.
After saying that, both of them felt a little surprised and couldn't help but look at each other, the little sister's eyes still had a pure smile.
Zhang Ning thought to himself: I have a good relationship with my sister, and it is not easy to worry about even the troubles of men and women.
In order to prevent my sister-in-law from becoming suspicious, Zhang Ning joked rarely: If my brother has nothing to say, I will give my sister-in-law a piece too?
Really!Luo Yue'e laughed and scolded, "You have really made great progress as an official. You dare to wash your sister-in-law and don't be known by your elder brother."
I've heard it, hum.Zhang Shicai stood at the door and said.
This kind of joke is nothing. There is still a saying in the Ming Dynasty that brothers and sisters-in-law are like mothers. If something really happens, it will definitely be a dirty thing that is despised by the whole society. However, according to the rules of the southern countryside, brothers and sisters-in-law and uncle can make some excessive jokes, and sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law can also talk nonsense between sisters-in-law, but brothers and sisters-in-law will be more serious.
That's why Zhang Ning dared to talk to Luo Yue'e without any hesitation.
Today is New Year's Eve, will Yunjinshop still open?Zhang Ning stopped laughing at the right time and asked Zhang Shicai.
Zhang Shicai said: Why don’t you let go?The business during the Chinese New Year is ten times that of usual, which is not an exaggeration at all.We have to go to the shop during the day and come back to have the New Year’s Eve dinner at night. After dinner, let’s go to the imperial city to watch the fireworks.
Very good!Zhang Xiaomei was so happy that she almost jumped up, and her brother was there.
Zhang Ning said: It just so happened that I had to go out after breakfast, so I worked hard at home.
The little sister couldn't help asking: What are you going to do when you are going out?
Zhang Ning casually said a lie: I was having a party with a few classmates.
Uncle Zhang Jiujin said with a stern face: Zhang Xiaomei, why are you so troubled? Erlang is an official, so of course he should go around and maintain relationships more often. He is not familiar with others. If he wants to ask others for business, who will buy your account?
Zhang Shicai said: Speaking of relationships, the shopkeeper of Hongyun Money House was having wine with me a while ago. When talking about business, there are only two most profitable things. One is to open a money house and the other is to engage in salt industry, but they all need relationships.
After saying that, he looked at Zhang Ning and mentioned that he wanted us to invest.
Zhang Jiujin frowned and said: How many shares can we invest in the money bank?
Dad, you always know that you have been doing business for so many years. If you invest in a stock, you may not necessarily use money to invest!
Zhang Shicai looked at him again, but they said that Erlang had to discuss this matter in person.That day I mentioned this to me.
Zhang Ning pondered for a moment and said: The situation is not very stable and clear yet. I have just entered the officialdom. I cannot make a rash move in everything if the time is not ripe. Wait, let me forgive me.
OK, we are not short of food, drink, and clothing, and we are not in a hurry to get rich.Zhang Shicai smiled.
After breakfast, Zhang Ning was about to go out. The younger sister brought a set of satin clothes and said: I was originally made for you to wear new clothes and the first day of the New Year. My brother is going to make friends today, so I will wear them, silk fabric.
My younger sister is a close relative, and you can also make beautiful clothes with satin.Zhang Ning said something.Since it was stitched out by my sister, he changed into new clothes happily.
After dressing, I looked down and looked like a little rich man. I was wearing a blue base colorful silk cloak, open sleeves, and a hat with a pair of six-he-mao...
Zhang Ning didn't like such clothes very much, and I don't know if the aesthetics were different from those of the Ming Dynasty, unless the clothes worn by sportswear usually don't like blue, green, and red, and prefer black, white and gray.
In his previous life, his casual suits and clothes were no more than three colors from head to toe, and he never wore such a fancy colorful robe as he is now.
Just as I was about to praise a few good words against my will, the younger sister frowned and said: It seems that my brother is wearing a strange dress... It is not as good-looking as the coarse blue robe you usually wear.
Forget it, it is not very good to wear it too simple on some occasions.Zhang Ning said casually, "Just this, I'll leave first."
The little sister stretched her eyebrows and smiled again, her eyes were like Moon Bay: Go, I'll wait to watch the fireworks with my brother tonight.
After leaving, Zhang Ning walked straight to Jiangning County. Of course, he was not going to meet any classmates, or any classmates on New Year's Eve.The person he wanted to meet was Fang Ling, a prostitute from Fuleyuan.
When I come back, the person I need to meet is her.
First of all, Fang Ling is his life-saving benefactor. If she had not been connected with the Peach Blossom Fairy, Zhang Ning would have been burping on the road and said goodbye to the Ming Dynasty completely, and there would be nothing again.
He cannot be completely clear about his grudges, but he must know what others have saved your life.
Secondly, what he wants to do most now is to take back the poem written by Taohua Fairy, take back the handle to clear the involvement with the riots, so as not to cause disaster to come from the sky; where can a figure like Taohua Fairy find her?
The most direct way is to go through Fang Ling, because she can almost certainly contact the Peach Blossom Fairy, otherwise how could it be done so quickly last time?
In fact, Zhang Ning copied two poems. If Fang Ling's life was just like the first meeting, it might be a hidden danger. Could it be that the court would take out the Peach Blossom Fairy after seizing her?
However, Zhang Ning didn't plan to return to Fang Ling's place. You don't have to worry too much about this little risk. If you are really so unlucky, you will have to pay back the lives saved and then return them. This is just fate.
What kind of meeting gift should I give you when I meet again?
Zhang Ning was planning his wealth and property, and the remaining silver was less than 90 taels, and he had to reserve the necessary expenses for sacrificing with his superior Wu Yong and his hometown. He could do it now at most 10 to 20 taels, and the money was a bit insufficient to spend...
Fortunately, it is not entirely up to the official salary, otherwise it would be true that the salary of two or three taels per month is enough.
But no matter what, seeing Fang Ling’s gifts should not be too vulgar, it is obvious that it is not the case that you buy a small thing on the street stall.
Sometimes money can really express a lot of things. Gifts are light and affection is just a sentence. Since you have heavy feelings, you can’t bear to spend money?
Getting off the boat at Wuding Bridge Wharf, Zhang Ning wandered around the Qinhuai River, thinking while walking.
But by chance, I happened to see a signboard called Hongyun. Isn’t this the money shop mentioned by my elder brother at breakfast?
Now Zhang Ning is seeing a jewelry shop. It turns out that this capitalist is not a specialty in opening a money shop, but he makes money and invests.
Zhang Ning then stepped forward and took a look at the situation first.
There are not many people in the store, and most of the customers who are wandering back and forth are dressed more decently. Most people who are interested in buying jewelry should have a wealthy family. At worst, ordinary families can buy one or two when they get married.
The gold and silver items placed outside are placed in a nailed iron cage, like a cage like a pet.
The things are packed in exquisite boxes, and the boxes are opened for viewing.
Zhang Ning casually asked about the price of a necklace, which cost as much as 80 taels, which was still an ordinary product outside.
The person behind the cabinet explained: This necklace is made of red gold, which weighs two cents and four consumptions. Although it is finely built, the labor cost is not worth ten taels. The real expensive part is the pendant, which is made of Western gems, a rare treasure brought back by Lord Zheng’s fleet from thousands of miles away...
Zhang Ning nodded to express his understanding. Just like modern diamond rings, the ones that are really expensive are diamonds rather than platinum or gold rings themselves.
Gold is priced, and gems and jade are likely to be priceless.
He thought that jewelry such as rings and necklaces looked too monotonous and not good-looking without gems; but those with gems may not be able to take them down by dozens of taels, which is already beyond the budget.
The man said again: What kind of gifts like? This shop accepts customization, and there are more than a dozen knowledgeable jewelry craftsmen in the semicolon. If you have special requirements, there are also masters who have been famous in this account for decades, and even those who have created royal objects...
Zhang Ning's expression did not change, but thought to himself: I can't afford you, you ordinary goods ready-made, so why do you need custom-made by craftsmen from all over the world?
He looked around and suddenly found a pearl chain that looked like a bracelet or foot chain in a corner. He felt like he was getting a treasure because the pearls on the chain were of different sizes and were very asymmetric!
Even though Zhang Ning didn't have much research on jewelry, he knew that jewelry should be well-proportioned. It is difficult to make up a piece of pearl of the same size, and it is simple to make it big and small. Such things are probably worth a lot of money. After all, the value of a commodity depends on the labor it takes to create it.
As soon as he asked, the man offered a barely acceptable price: twenty-five taels.
Twenty taels.Zhang Ning is determined to bargain. It is hard to find such a cheap and shiny thing in this place.
Are you sure you want to buy this?the man asked.
Zhang Ning said simply: I will buy it for twenty taels!I know that the pearls on your chain are large and small, so it is probably difficult to buy Ah.
After living in the capital for a while, Zhang Ning opened the window to look at the courtyard and suddenly realized that it was small and not flat and atmospheric. Outside were densely packed houses and winding alleys, and his vision was not wide.
But living here would not feel blocked at all: it is the financial and taxation area of the entire empire, the economically developed area, and the water and land transportation are well developed, and it has close contact with the capital; it is located on the coast of Nanzhi outside, and the Zheng He fleet's multiple sailings was Nanzhili, which has a certain connection with the world.
