Chapter 134 Like Mr. Zhang
"Xiao Ai, do you think I should wear this dress or this one?" He Zhaoyi picked up his clothes and looked at himself.
One is a slightly simple plain white long skirt, embroidered with thick branches on the material with dark blue silk thread. The pink silk thread embroidered a few blooming plum blossoms, stretching from the skirt to the chest, and adding a light-colored wide belt to tighten the thin waist, you can show your figure, elegant and noble. .
The other is a pink embroidered brocade, combined with a yellow ancient double butterfly cloud-shaped thousand-water skirt, with a pearl-white wide ribbon in hand, just like a fairy. Beautiful and elegant, Chu Chu is charming.
"Miss, you look good in any clothes you wear." Xiao Aiqiao said.
"I'm asking you which one looks better."
"I think the long lavender dress just now, combined with blue tulle, is more suitable for your temperament."
"Then why didn't you say it earlier!"
Say it earlier? I've been changing all day's clothes, miss. You can choose one. Don't torture me any more, little love thought.
"I must dress the most beautifully." Somehow, in her heart, she always likes to compare with Liu Ruohan. Although Liu Ruohan is just a few ordinary clothes, it is so extraordinary and makes people jealous.
Counting up, it's only a few days before the Double Ninth Festival. He Zhaoyi has been staying in the lakeside courtyard of the eldest brother. Nominally, his own salt is also transported here, which is convenient to take care of. In fact, it is to see Mr. Zhang who comes with the boat every time. He chats with him, talks, and looks at his broad back. An inexplicable sense of satisfaction.
Born in a large family, she has developed a lady's temperament since she was a child. She is elegant and reasonable. Although she has an inexplicable good impression on Mr. Zhang, she never dares to say it.
In contrast, Liu Ruohan, a small jasper, is beautiful but not charming, clear but not cold. If she likes a person, she will take the initiative to show it, so that Zhang Yang knows that she really wants to be with him.
Mr. Zhang promised to accompany him to enjoy the chrysanthemums in autumn on the Double Ninth Festival. He Zhaoyi is looking forward to this day.
Now, seeing that the day is getting closer and closer, she has a kind of nameless panic. How can I see him? What should I wear? What should I say to him?
From the bottom of her heart, He Zhaoyi is just a young lady. How can she tell all her heart to Zhang Yang? How can you take the initiative to show your goodwill? Besides, I'm afraid I can't help making my own decision about my marriage in this big family. The second brother has been thinking about marrying himself to the Lianghuai Salt Transporter. He would rather die than marry that person.
"Tshaoyi, what are you doing?" With the sound, it was the eldest brother He Zhaoren who came in.
"Brother, this is their boudoir. Why don't you come in without their consent?" He Zhaoyi said.
"Oh, my little sister has finally grown up. When you were a child, you let me play behind my back every day." He Zhaojie said with a smile.
"Big brother, you..." He Zhaoyi pretended to be angry.
"Zhaoyi, do you like that Mr. Zhang?" He Zhaoren asked.
The window paper was tipped, and He Zhaoyi's face turned red. Brother, what are you talking about?
He Zhaoren has been through the world for a long time. How can he hide his sister's little thought from his eyes?
"It seems that my brother's vision is still good. I observe that this Mr. Zhang is by no means something in the pool." He Zhaoren said.
"Brother, what do you mean by that?"
"Well, it's natural to see that you dressed so beautifully for that boy?"
"Brother, how can you say that? Your sister is naturally beautiful and doesn't need to dress up. She is very beautiful."
"Jiyi, have you ever thought about it? Once you two really succeed, will your father agree?"
He Zhaoren's words suddenly aroused He Zhaoyi's thoughts. Yes, his biggest obstacle is his family. The He family is a large salt merchant in Yangzhou City. His marriage must be in line with the interests of the family. From a small salt dealer, the family has the current scene, and many people have been sacrificed in the middle. Benefits? For the sake of the family, even if he is loved by his father, he will tend to maintain the interests of the family.
She couldn't help frowning and worried.
Seeing this, Xiao Ai hurried over to persuade him, "Miss, there is also a jade hairpin, which is very beautiful. I'll put it on for you."
"Forget it, go out."
He Zhaoren's words just now were naturally intentional. He Zhaoyi found such a god of wealth for himself. In a short time, his business improved greatly, his profit increased five times, and he made money. In his father's eyes, he also had a position.
But he is not satisfied. It is the merchant's eternal pursuit to absorb greater profits. He wants to turn all his coarse salt into refined salt. However, he is unwilling to hit a nail at Mr. Zhang. Fortunately, he found that Mr. Zhang takes good care of his sister. His sister ran to sell salt so brainlessly, which was bound to be defeated. Undoubtedly, however, with the help of Mr. Zhang, he actually earned thousands of taels of silver for his father, which opened his eyes. This Mr. Zhang took care of his sister so much, and his sister fell in love with Mr. Zhang so much. It was his purpose to use of this relationship to get greater profits from Mr. Zhang.
"Zhaoyi, if you want to be with Mr. Zhang, I have a way." He Zhaoren said.
"What method?" He Zhaoyi's eyes were immediately full of expectation and looked at He Zhaoren. She also thought about many ways, and even eloped with him?
"Think about it, what is the most important thing for our He family to develop so far?"
It goes to say that it's money. Dad has been thinking about how to earn more money, but no matter how much money there is, what's the use? Dad was thinking all day long about how to get more salt from the court, how to feed the two Huai salt envoys and the officials of all day long, and he didn't see him happy for a few days.
"If Dad knows that Mr. Zhang is the most important partner in my business, he has brought more profits to our family. Do you think Dad will agree?" He Zhaoren led He Zhaoyi's thoughts to this side little by little.
"As long as I cooperate with Mr. Zhang more widely, for example, 50% of my coarse salt will be replaced with refined salt. In this way, my two share of profits can exceed your second brother, and my father will naturally look at you differently. I will tell my father again that all this is due to the cooperation with Mr. Zhang. Dad knows This Mr. Zhang is a cash cow, and he will naturally want more refined salt. In this way, it is up to me to propose that our two families get married. Do you think Dad will agree? He Zhaoren said.
"This..." He Zhaoyi's thoughts were a little confused. The eldest brother's words seemed to be quite reasonable, and it seemed that there was anything special. She couldn't figure it out.
"Let me think about it." He Zhaoyi frowned deeply.
