Chapter 226 is really coming
Speaking of the third wife of the Mao family, Lin Huazhi is impressed that she is a charming woman. In addition to Mao Xiaomao, Mao Dazui loves this third lady the most. Although she has no position as a wife, she eats and wears better than Mao's wife. Such a beloved woman actually came out of the wall and was found by Mao's big mouth, which is really confusing.
Lin Huazhi didn't believe it and looked at Lin Yuyang with a smile: "Where did you hear the news? This kind of market saying is not credible.
"Naturally, it was what the Mao family said. I heard that it was all noisy. Mao Xiaomao's aunt was very angry and said that Mao's big mouth was full of evil and did not intend to let Mao Xiaomao return home, saying that she was afraid that Mao Xiaomao would be led badly by his father."
I heard Lin Yuyang repeatedly assured that although Lin Huazhi was curious, he didn't pay attention to it.
She said, "Mao's big mouth must be anxious now, so we can be sure that the Mao family will not appear at this silk-making conference."
Lin Yuyang nodded: "Yes, Mao Dazui must be trying to calm down the matter of the third lady as soon as possible, otherwise it will be detrimental for Mao Xiaomao's future."
Poor Mao Xiaomao, Lin Huazhi thought for a moment: "Mao Xiaomao is a good person. You can't alienate him because of his family's affairs. Invite him to my house for dinner another day. I haven't seen Mao Xiaomao for a long time.
Lin Yuyang answered and turned his head to look at the sun outside the window. He suddenly sighed helplessly: "I'm really afraid that people keep coming from home early in the morning."
Lin Huazhi naturally knew that he was referring to the people in the courtyard well and patted him on the face. Lin Huazhi smiled and said, "This is just the beginning. If you are the top student in high school, you will be busy in the future."
Lin Yuyang screamed: "I have a headache."
Lin Huazhi squeezed her mouth and had fun. She looked up and saw a skirt flashing outside the house, like a green lock, and her heart was even more smiling. At Lin Yuyang, Lin Huazhi joked: "The spring breeze is messy, and the willow waist is red. The beauty is waiting for you."
In Lin Yuyang's blushing ears, Lin Huazhi left the study happily.
She didn't go to the front yard. There were wet nurses and Xing'er helping Lin do some, and basically nothing happened to her. Looking at the sudden noise of the family like a vegetable market, Lin Huazhi thought that it was time to recruit more servants.
Returning to the room, she carefully calculated the days. After the Lin Yuyang Hall test tomorrow, the next major event will be the silk conference. Although it seems that everything is available at present, she should be more careful than usual. Based on her previous experience, the more she reaches the critical moment, the more cautious she should be.
Suddenly remembered something, she dropped her eyes on the dressing table. A few days ago, when she bought the yard, she took out all her money to Qingling. Although Qingling returned part of her later, according to the current situation, the money was really tight.
Opening the jewelry box, Lin Huazhi found that she didn't have many decent jewelry. I'm afraid that this box of things can't be exchanged for much money when it is sent to the pawnshop.
With a long sigh, Lin Huazhi felt that she was like there was no rice at home when she woke up a year ago.
As she was frowning, she heard the sound of spring white outside the house: "Lin Huazhi, come out quickly."
Running out and looking, Chunbai came in with a few white silks in his arms.
"What are you doing?" Lin Huazhi hurried forward and took some cloth from Chun Bai's hand.
"For Qingling, this is the best silk in Luozhou Prefecture. Is it soft and slippery when you touch it?"
Lin Huazhi reached out and touched it. It was indeed soft and slippery as Chunbai said, but Lin Huazhi still didn't understand: "What do you want to do with these cloths?"
"Didn't you and Qingling want to open a dye shop? I agreed with the envoys of the workshop. We will help them dye the cloth, and the lady in the workshop will help us promote it.
Hearing this, Lin Huazhi suddenly felt that it was a good idea. The department of the teaching workshop is subject to internal control. The clothes of the teaching workshop have always followed the palace department system, and then affected the clothing production of the workshop. The teaching workshop lady helped them everywhere, which is definitely a good thing.
Thinking about it, Lin Huazhi suddenly had an inspiration. Now she can weave and dye cloth, so why not just put it in one step? Do you even make your own clothes? After calculation, she can not only save costs but also make more profits.
Lin Huazhi smiled and just worried about not making money. Chunbai came to help her solve a big problem.
Lin Huazhi hurriedly asked, "There are so many women in the workshop, can't there be only these few pieces of cloth?"
"Of course, this can't be the only one, but this good silk cloth is for the top lady. I'm afraid you don't want to, and you don't dare to fully agree to the workshop."
As soon as Lin Huazhi heard this, he immediately made a point: "I have responded to this matter. How much dyeing cloth you need from the teaching workshop is ready, and the money is negotiable. I only have one condition. The dress worn by girls other than the top lady will be provided by us.
Chunbai's eyes widened and said, "Lin Huazhi, you are not sick. Do you...do you know what you said?
Lin Huazhi nodded: "I naturally know what I'm talking about. If it weren't for mass production, ordinary small fights would not make a lot of money. But this garment is different. Look, the capital is so big and there are so many rich people. Can you calculate how many dresses women in each family buy every month? This is the place to make a lot of money. So I decided that we should not only open a dye shop, but also a garment shop.
Chunbai stared at Lin Huazhi for a while, and then asked uncertainly, "Are you serious?"
Lin Huazhi nodded heavily. This is by no means a moment of painstaking effort**. Just now, she roughly calculated that a white cloth 60 feet is worth two taels of silver. It can be made into eight sets to 12 sets of robes or skirts. A set of skirts is estimated to sell for about 600 to 1,500 yuan. You can earn three taels of silver. What a huge number the Sun family produces more than 300,000 pieces of cloth every year.
Chunbai asked, "It's easy to open a garment shop. You have to find someone to cut clothes."
Lin Huazhi stared at Chunbai: "You are really a confused person. Dare you to ask which woman in the world can't be a female celebrity? This is different from weaving or dyeing cloth. There is no complicated process, as long as the mind is skillful and the stitches are fine. The capital is so big that I don't believe that I can't find a few women with sharp hands and feet.
Chunbai calculated carefully. Indeed, with their ability at this time, it is absolutely not difficult to open a garment shop.
Chunbai said, "Since you have decided, I will go to the church and answer this matter."
But Lin Huazhi grabbed Chunbai and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, just wait for the silk conference. Prepare what should be prepared before saying anything else. At this time, the most important thing is the silk conference. Qingling and I can't get away these days, and you have other things to do. The opening of this garment shop can be postponed for a while.
Chunbai was puzzled: "All I have to do is listen to your instructions. What, I have something else to do?"
Lin Huazhi nodded: "You have to help me watch Sun Zhengming."
"What? Do you think Sun Zhengming and we are not the same? Chunbai paused, "But is it because of Cui Ting?"
"It has nothing to do with Cui Ting. I just think that smart people like Sun Zhengming obviously cooperate with the Zhang family, and there must be a secret back hand. The Sun family has been immersed in Jiangbei for decades. If it hadn't been for the problem last year and the Zhang family would have taken advantage of, no one would have interfered in the Sun family's business in Jiangbei. Now that the Sun family's dyeing business is half occupied by the Zhang family, Sun Zhengming has more or less ideas in his mind. Be sure to stabilize him before the end of the silk conference.
Chunbai nodded: "I understand. I'm afraid Cui Yuan also thought of you, so Cui Yuan closed his eyes to Cui Ting to see Sun Zhengming several times and completely let Cui Ting go. Cui Yuan also made Sun Zhengming's idea.
"Yes, the foundation of the Cui family is in Jiangbei, and there is no way to fight with the Sun family over the years. Now that the Zhang family has intervened in Jiangbei, Cui Yuan can't let go of this opportunity. If Sun Zhengming is happy to give the Cui family, it is naturally the best. If Sun Zhengming can't, the Cui family will not suffer losses. There are advantages on both sides. Cui Yuan is not a fool, and naturally he doesn't want to care too much about Cui Ting.
Chunbai hummed, looked at Lin Huazhi, and suddenly said, "Do you think it's like what Yan Shaobai did with the Chen clan when we were in Jiangdong City?"
Lin Huazhi was stunned, not to mention, it looks like it. Therefore, it can be seen how unhappy Yan Shaobai was at the beginning, so how unhappy Sun Zhengming was.
Chunbai pecked: "Not to mention you, in fact, even the old master meant this. Yesterday, I saw that the old man called the second young master and the stewards in Beijing. Although I don't know what he said, it vaguely heard that it has something to do with the business of the Zhang family in Jiangbei."
"So, you have to help me take good care of Sun Zhengming." Lin Huazhi added, "This is very important."
Chunbai said, "Don't worry, I know what to do. What about you? Looking at you like this, you must have had an idea.
Lin Huazhi is not going to hide it. She said, "I, I'm going to Cui's house to get together with Cui Ting."
"Ah, are you really going?"
"Yes, I really go."
......
The flowers bloom at two ends, one branch each.
Cui Yuan went to bed late last night. When he got up in the morning, his throat was slightly uncomfortable and faintly painful, as if he had caught a cold at night. He ordered the housekeeper to boil ginger juice in the kitchen and drink a large bowl. It didn't seem to work. Fortunately, today is a day off. There is no need to go to the palace to see your majesty. Cui Yuan felt cold and lay back **.
In a trance, I was about to fall asleep, but I heard the housekeeper say outside, "Master, Lord Li and Second Master Li are here, and now people are waiting in the side hall."
Cui Yuan began to squeak. In fact, when he heard that Li Cunyuan was also coming, he felt a worse headache. The bastard just sent to the north and didn't want to call him back halfway. To put it bluntly, everyone knows that the old lady of the Li family is as strong as a cow, and it is not a problem to live another 50 years in good spirits, but she uses "for fear of dying and can't see a good grandson" as an excuse to call Li Cunyuan back to Beijing. Maybe the old lady's play was invented by Li Cunyuan's bastard.
Cui Yuan sighed and got up and ordered the girl outside to come in and wait for him to comb.
It took about two quarter of an hour before he slowly went to the side hall.
"I've met Lord Cui."
In terms of official price, Cui Yuan is the third grade of the weaving department, and Li Zhiming is the second grade of the servant of the Ministry of Officials. The grade is higher than Cui Yuan, but Cui Yuan's weaving department belongs to the royal family and is higher than Li Zhiming's second grade, so Li Zhiming wants to salute Cui Yuan.
Looking at Li Cunyuan next to him, Cui Yuan said, "My cousin is too polite. Sit down quickly. Come on, let's have tea."
Li Cunyuan did not dare to sit down. After Cui Yuan and Li Zhiming sat down separately, Li Cunyuan hurried forward and bowed: "My nephew pleaded guilty to my uncle today. My nephew was rude yesterday. Fortunately, he was loved by his mother, so that he didn't cause a big accident. Li Cunyuan is actually not a fool, but he is not smart enough to meet Du Yinglian. After being taken back to Li's house by Cui Yuan from Xuanhua yesterday, Li Zhiming cleaned him up well, and Li Cunyuan realized that if it hadn't been for Cui Yuan yesterday, he would have made a joke.
Cui Yuan was angry with Li Cunyuan, but on the one's end, he was a family. On the other, he had to look at the Buddha's face without looking at the monk's face. Anyway, he had to give the Li family some face to Li Zhiming.
Seeing Li Cunyuan's childish appearance, he had a sincere fist on his face. He wanted to say some heavy words to teach Li Cunyuan a good lesson, but after thinking about it, Cui Yuan just said, "Since I know it's wrong, how can't you be so reckless? It's not a bad thing for you to chase a beauty, but you should also know that abruptly a princess is a felony. Fortunately, the three princesses didn't care about it yesterday, otherwise you didn't have enough brains.
"Yes, yes, my nephew knows it's wrong, and I won't dare to do it again next time." Naturally, Li Cunyuan also knew that Cui Yuan was not scaring him. Last night, he thought about it all night and said that it was impossible not to be afraid. Seeing that Cui Yuan and Li Zhiming seemed to have something to say, Li Cunyuan also felt that he said a few soft words and found an excuse to withdraw from the side hall.
Waving his hand to send his servants out, Cui Yuan asked, "My cousin came today, but he will try for tomorrow's palace?"
Li Zhiming said, "Yes, I heard that Lin Yuyang's sister was also invited by the eldest princess to attend yesterday's tea party. Princess Ruolian and Princess Anping have a good impression on that woman. Now with the two mountains of Meng Taifu and Old Master Zhang, it seems that this champion is the son of the Lin family."
Cui Yuan was not in a hurry to make a sound. After a long time, he said, "It's not tomorrow yet. Lin Yuyang is not necessarily the champion."
Li Zhiming heard Cui Yuan's words and hurriedly lowered his voice and asked, "What do you think, Lord Cui?"
Cui Yuan shook his head: "Then Lin Yuyang is in the limelight, and now he is loved by the princess. What can I do? However, being an official is not just about being famous. Even if he is the top student in high school tomorrow, he has to walk away from his cousin-in-law anyway.
Everyone is smart and has been an official for many years. After Cui Yuan's point, Li Zhiming understood and couldn't help laughing: "I still understand it."
Seeing that Li Zhiming understood, Cui Yuan naturally knew that Li Zhiming had many means to suppress Lin Yuyang, so he didn't care anymore. After a few words, Cui Yuan felt that his body was heavier than when he got up in the morning, and he knew that he was really sick. In addition, he was a little dizzy. He reached out and picked up the tea bowl in front of him.
Li Zhiming came to Cui's house mainly for Li Cunyuan's business today. Seeing that Cui Yuan looked exhausted, he hurriedly got up and said goodbye. When I left, I left a huge brocade box.
"Master, do you want to hire a doctor?" The housekeeper also noticed Cui Yuan's discomfort.
But Cui Yuan shook his head: "No, just take a nap." I got up and was about to go back to the room, but I heard the outside girl say that Cui Ting was coming.
Cui Yuan couldn't help frowning. He is not happy now. Cui Ting still has a big belly. He was afraid that his illness would affect the baby in Cui Ting's belly. He was about to send the housekeeper to invite Cui Ting back, but he quickly walked into a small shop outside the door and handed over a famous post.
The housekeeper reached out and took it and presented it to Cui Yuan.
Cui Yuan opened it and looked at the name on it. He couldn't help but be stunned, and then asked, "Who did the woman come with?"
Xiao Si replied, "She is the only one."
At this time, Cui Ting also came in, saw the famous post in Cui Yuan's hand, and asked with a smile, "Brother, who is here?"
He looked at Cui Ting with a strange look, and Cui Yuan whispered, "Lin Huazhi."
He never thought that she would really come.
