Lin Shenghu leaned against the ginkgo tree on the side of the road, watching a group of men and women busy cleaning up the yard in front. After watching for a long time, I couldn't help but yawned: "The world has really changed! In Xiangyang City, women are actually allowed to do business!"
After saying that, he shook his head and walked into the small courtyard with his hands behind his back.
The jade slave stood in the middle of the yard, directing the helpers. Put this here, put that there, everything is in order. Seeing Lin Shengyuan come in, he hurriedly said: "Dad Lin has some free time and will come to see us today."
Lin Shengyuan said: "My daughter's capital is what I earned from my hard work in business. When you open your business, I will always come and take a look."
Yu Nu said a few perfunctory words and continued to direct others to arrange the arrangements.
Lin Shengyuan stood in the yard, looking at several flowering trees in the spring light. The magnolia is about to wither, and its huge petals are floating down one by one. The gardenias and crabapples are in full bloom, and the red and white ones are really beautiful.
Sitting down on the stone bench in the courtyard, Lin Shengyuan was bored and couldn't explain what he was feeling.
Huang Yuan was away in trouble, and Lin Shengyuan stopped making money through business. However, he was unwilling to give in and always thought about how to make money by relying on this business route. I just didn't think of a way for a while, so I could only stay at home. My daughter no longer worked in the government office, so she used the money she earned as capital to open this weaving company in partnership with Yu Nu, but she didn't know whether it would work or not.
Lin Xi is good at calligraphy and painting, and the main product of the weaving club is embroidery. Lin Xi provided the template and asked someone to embroider it. From what they said, the price of these embroidery products is really not low, and I don’t know if they can be sold.
In addition to Lin Xi and Yu Nu, another major shareholder of Weaving Society is Xuan Hong. Xuanhong's father was a minor official, but died suddenly on the way to escape. There was no other way, so Xuanhong sold her to Song Bing, the current prefect of Xiangyang, as a concubine. Recently, Xiangyang has implemented a new policy that does not recognize the legal status of concubines and is legally equivalent to slaves. All slaves and maidservants were changed to the employment system, and the concubines also became hired workers. Song Bing missed his old friendship and paid some money to let Xuan Hong leave the Song family. Xuanhong took the money and became a shareholder.
With such a few women running such a business, Lin Shengyuan seemed unreliable. But his daughter provided the most money and was the main technical force. Although he was not optimistic about it, Lin Shengyuan could not let it go.
Lin Xi and Xuan Hong came out of the house, saw Lin Shengyuan, and hurriedly came over to salute.
After looking at his daughter's appearance, Lin Shengyuan said: "When you wear girl's clothes, you will feel like a different person. Don't imitate men's clothes in the future. The people in Xiangyang City live and work in peace and contentment without those messy things."
Lin Xi nodded in agreement.
Xuan Hong said: "In the past, when the young lady wore men's clothes, she only felt heroic. I didn't expect that she would be so beautiful when she changed into women's clothes. When I saw Yu Nu for the first time, I thought how could there be such a beautiful woman in the world. Wait until the young lady The lady puts on women's clothes and is a bit stronger than the jade slave."
Lin Shengyuan said: "My daughter is the most beautiful in the world! It's just that she was born in troubled times and wore men's clothes more. It really wronged her."
Yunu heard what they said and turned to look at Lin Xi. Seeing that her skin was like snow, her body was slender, and her face was pretty, she was indeed much more beautiful than herself. Even though I was a little dissatisfied, I could only admit the reality.
Strangely enough, when Lin Xi wore men's clothing, everyone only noticed her heroic spirit and forgot about her appearance. When I put on women's clothes, my heroic spirit turned into beauty, as if I was a different person.
While several people were chatting, a female envoy came in. Said: "Miss Yunu, there is an official outside to beat you."
Yu Nu was stunned for a moment. When he arrived in Xiangyang City, he stopped being like before and didn't interact with others easily. How could someone come looking for me? Asked: "Who is here? Did they say something?"
The female envoy said: "He is an official in his thirties. He didn't say anything."
Yunu said to Lin Xi and others: "I have no acquaintances in Xiangyang, and I don't know who is coming. I don't know what is good or bad."
Lin Xi said: "Invite people in and ask, and you will know. Don't worry, Xiangyang City is not like those places in the north, no one dares to do anything wrong. Don't worry. There is something really wrong, and we are still there."
Yu Nu thought for a while and asked the female servant to go out and invite the people in.
Not long after, Yu Huan and Zhang Jun came in. I saw a man and three women standing there. All three women were beautiful, but the youngest was particularly beautiful. This feeling is amazing. If you look at other people, you won't notice the existence of the young woman. If you look at a young woman, you will suddenly realize that no one else can compare with her.
The two men stepped forward and saluted. Yu Huan said: "I wonder if Ru is the little lady of Jade Slave?"
Yunu said: "It should be me. My name is Mo Zhongze now, and Yunu is my nickname. Everyone calls me second sister."
Yu Huan said hurriedly: "I'm offended, it turns out to be the second sister. I heard someone talk about it, and I only heard about your nickname."
Yu Nu looked at Yu Huan and Yu Huan up and down, and said, "I wonder why these two officials came to Nu's house?"
Yu Huan looked around at his destination. He said: "To be honest with Second Sister, it is an official matter and cannot be told to others. If it is convenient for Second Sister, how about we take a step to talk? There is no need to go out, just under the magnolia tree over there."
Yu Nu looked at Lin Xi and Xuan Hong beside her. After thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "Okay."
After saying that, he followed Yu Huan and Zhang Jun to Yulanquan. Yu Nu said: "Officials say what they say. We are opening today, and I have a lot of things to do. I have been away for a long time, so maybe something went wrong somewhere."
Yu Huan said: "In that case, I will tell you the truth. In a few days, I will go to Dengfeng County, Henan Prefecture for business. That is Ding Jin's territory. Ding Jin has a right-hand man named Luan Qingshan. I heard that the second sister is related to this Luan Qingshan. Ripe."
After hearing this, Yu Nu's heart skipped a beat. I have always been careful not to have any relationship with the people and things in the past, and I have been hiding away. Unexpectedly, I was still found and came to the door. After thinking for a while, the jade slave said: "Yes. I have known this person before, but I am not very familiar with him."
Yu Huan smiled. He said: "To be fair to you, Madam, our business trip to Dengfeng this time has something to do with Luan Qingshan. If Madam is free, she will accompany us to Dengfeng. I will definitely thank you very much."
After hearing this, Yu Nu shook his head repeatedly: "No way! Our business has just opened here, how can we get around? You two also saw that everything is being arranged today, and I can't leave for a moment! There are many things to be busy with in the next days, You can’t leave!”
Yu Huan said: "If you take a trip, I will be rewarded with fifty cents. Don't worry, I will pay you in cash when you come back."
After hearing this, Yu Nu sneered: "Officer, although I am not from a rich family, I still don't take fifty guan in my eyes!"
Yu Huan said: "It's normal to look down on fifty guan. From the looks of you, this business requires a lot of capital. However, if you really succeed in helping the government, you will be greatly thanked in the future. The government will also take care of your business. Madam When traveling around, you should know that with the government taking care of you, business will be much easier. To put it bluntly, if you offend the government - "
After saying that, Yu Huan looked at Yu Nu meaningfully and said nothing.
Seeing Yu Huan's expression, Yu Nu sighed secretly. You may not care about money, but you cannot ignore Yu Huan's threats. Not to mention what kind of trouble the government will cause you, as long as it makes things difficult for you within the legal scope, many things will be difficult to do.
