"this……"
Jiang Michia was suddenly speechless.
The scholar just now looked like he was sighing sadly, obviously he was very sorry for something.
In addition, after looking at her and looking at Song Jingyun's appearance, he probably felt that she was taking care of all the business matters. Song Jingyun remained silent, so he felt that Song Jingyun was a bit useless.
After all, in this era, men are superior to women. If a woman is too capable, especially if she is more capable than her husband, people will talk about her behind her back.
Scholars who have read poetry and books are the most abiding by the Three Cardinal Principles and the Five Constant Principles. It is not surprising to have such thoughts.
But they had no idea how good their little husband-in-law was.
It’s true that feudal ideas kill people!
Jiang Michia was dissatisfied with the scholar's behavior, and became agitated when her son-in-law asked, "I guess you are jealous that you married such a capable wife like me?"
"That's right." Song Jingyun puffed up his chest, "My wife is the best wife. If he is envious..."
"Then let him be envious."
Jiang Michia, "..."
A quarter of an hour later, the person who ordered the two waterproof bags still did not show up.
"Let's go, we won't wait any longer." Jiang Michia packed the bags onto the bullock cart.
"Then let's come back tomorrow?" Song Jingyun asked.
The lady is a person who keeps her promises, so this thing must be handed over to the other party.
"I will put the bag with Qiu Ji later and ask Qiu Ji's guy to keep it. I will tell the concierge and the scholar next to me and ask them to help bring a message to those two people and let them go. Qiu Ji takes the bag."
Jiang Michia said, "In this case, it will not delay the two of them, nor will it delay our affairs. There is no need to run back and forth to the county town."
"Xiao Xia, this is a good idea." Jiang San nodded repeatedly, "Both sides are suitable."
"Third uncle, give me a moment, and I'll leave a message for them."
After saying that, Jiang Michia went to find the concierge and several scholars passing by the door, and asked them to help carry the message.
After the arrangements were made, he and Song Jingyun rushed to Qiu Ji.
Shopkeeper Ge from Qiuji was there, recognized Jiang Michia, welcomed her into the store, and spoke warmly.
Jiang Michia explained the purpose of her visit, and even gave a blessing to Shopkeeper Ge, "Can Shopkeeper Ge please help me with this?"
"It's just a matter of helping me, Mrs. Jiang, so there's no need to be polite." Shopkeeper Ge agreed, "I'll put this thing here, and I'll tell my good guy to make sure it's in the hands of these two scholars when the time comes. "
"Thank you so much, Shopkeeper Ge."
"Where, where..."
After finishing the matter and talking for a while, Jiang Michia said goodbye and left.
Shopkeeper Ge was busy with business in the shop.
"Shopkeeper Ge." A tall, middle-aged man entered the shop.
"The eldest master is here." Shopkeeper Ge hurriedly greeted him with a smile on his face, "When did you come to Fengyang County?"
Zheng Yuanhe smiled and replied, "I just arrived."
After saying that, he looked around and said, "Isn't the little sister in the shop?"
Zheng Yuanhe is Zheng's eldest cousin and the eldest son of Zheng's uncle's family.
Zheng's mother died of a massive hemorrhage during childbirth, and within two years, her father also died of depression due to excessive worries about his wife's death. Zheng grew up in her uncle's house since she was a child.
The eldest uncle's family only has three sons and no daughters. In addition, although the Zheng family is a merchant's family, it has a clean family tradition and does not have the custom of taking concubines. Therefore, after Zheng Yuanhe's mother was injured in childbirth after giving birth to her third child, Nothing more to come out of.
Zheng Yuan and his parents both loved children and were looking forward to having a daughter. After taking Zheng home, they treated her as their own. Zheng Yuan and his three brothers were also very curious about such a beautiful little girl. My sister, I love you so much.
When Zheng got married, in addition to using all the property that originally belonged to the Zheng family as dowry, Zheng Yuanhe's parents took the initiative to add a lot more, as if they regarded her as their biological daughter.
Zheng Yuanhe also took great care of his little sister. He often made a special trip from Taisong Mansion to visit her, fearing that Zheng would be wronged in any way by the Qiu family.
Especially since Zheng lost her husband and became a widow, Zheng Yuanhe has become more and more diligent, and even opened a shop in the county town, so that he can come more legitimately.
"Madam came over in the morning and said that the old lady in the family was about to celebrate her birthday and she wanted to go out to look for suitable gifts. She also said that she would come to the shop in the afternoon to select some wood to make a frame for the newly embroidered Kang screen."
Shopkeeper Ge took a look at the sky outside and said, "I guess we're almost there. Sir, why don't you wait here for a while?"
The waiter on the side has already brought tea.
"That's fine. If we go home now, I'm afraid it's easy to get sidetracked. Let's wait here for a while." Zheng Yuanhe took a sip of tea and didn't sit down. Instead, he got up and walked around in the shop. Take a look.
It is not easy for Zheng to run a shop, especially for orphans and widowers, who are easily looked down upon by others. Every time Zheng Yuanhe comes to the shop, he walks around and does not put forward opinions on business matters, but he also wants to intimidate The waiter and others in the first shop.
Let them know that the Zheng family is also backed by people and cannot be fooled casually.
Shopkeeper Ge has been in the shop for many years and knows Zheng Yuanhe's habits and his intentions, so he stays with him and introduces him from time to time.
Seeing that everything in the shop was as before, Zheng Yuanhe felt relieved and sat down. He then drank tea, chatted with shopkeeper Ge, and asked about the business situation of the shop at this time.
After a few words, he learned that the shop was more prosperous than the last time he came here, and that the new wooden puppets were very popular. Zheng Yuanhe laughed and said, "My little sister's taste is always good."
When he glanced at the two bags placed near the door, he smiled again and said, "Is my little sister thinking about starting a business of making bamboo groceries?"
"Sir, this is not something from the shop..." Shopkeeper Ge explained the origin of the bag to Zheng Yuanhe.
"That's it." Zheng Yuanhe nodded slightly.
While the two were talking, two men who looked like scholars entered the shop and came to get the bags.
The waiter checked the person's name, collected the remaining money, and handed the bag to the person.
The scholar thanked him and repeatedly said that he was delayed today because he went to the county to study and forgot to tell others about it. After talking for a long time, he took the bag and left.
"The price of this bag is not cheap."
After the scholar left, Zheng Yuanhe smacked his lips, "Or are the prices in the county now rising a lot?"
"The price has not increased, and this bag is indeed not cheap, but it is expensive for a reason." Shopkeeper Ge explained, "This bag is waterproof, the water inside does not leak, and it does not get wet when it rains outside. For scholars, It is very practical for us. I guess not all the scholars of Wende College who are going to take the exam next year will have one."
Zheng Yuanhe raised his eyebrows slightly, "Oh? This is strange. This is the first time I've heard that bamboo woven things are waterproof."
