I played as an assistant in ancient times

“It’s not just a test. It’s unreasonable for the Li family to specially find more than a hundred pieces of cloth from the three cloth shops in the county.

It seems that he came here with something else, a warning not to cross the line?" Lin was thoughtful.

Shen Xiaoye stood at attention, recalling the tone and expression of the Li family's steward just now. While he was deep in thought, his fourth uncle came back with a book in his arms.

He said, "Mom, what are you doing standing here, Xiaoye? Have you eaten yet?"

"No. Fourth uncle, why don't you ask Manager Li how much cloth he ordered just now?" Shen Xiaoye hurried to the door and set up the table and chairs with his cousin. The three of them were the last to eat breakfast.

Shen Changsui washed his hands and said, "I didn't stay for more than a quarter of an hour. Maybe we didn't reach an agreement."

“He said he came here to buy cloth, but that wasn’t his purpose, so Xiao Ye didn’t respond to his question too much.

The other party was polite in his words, but he kept asking about the inventory...

Xiaoye, what did you see when you saw him?" Lin asked.

Shen Xiaoye put the bowl on the table and said, "I heard that the Li family's shipping business is very good, and they are related to several wealthy families in the county.

I remembered someone mentioned that Jishun Cloth Shop and his family were in-laws.

I didn’t expect to be noticed by two cloth shops on the first day of the market.”

“Not only that, yesterday many wealthy businessmen followed Tan County City to the Lingshan Temple to donate money and materials, and the owner of another Derun Cloth Shop was also among them.

They suddenly saw that printed cotton cloth was cheap, so it was reasonable for them to ask about it. No matter whether the Li family came to warn or warn, it would not stop the family from dyeing cloth.

Mother, don't worry about other people's temptations. Our cloth is not in the county town and they are in the same group. We only roam in the countryside and mainly produce coarse cloth. We can't take away any business from them. "Shen Changsui analyzed to everyone:

"Besides, Brother Yue is my classmate and he has specifically reminded Xiaoye. Derun Cloth Shop does not focus on the business in the county. It is just a Jishun Cloth Shop that relies on the marriage of children. It is not a big deal."

Lin nodded slightly: "So it's Jishun Cloth Shop, I thought it was Derun Cloth Shop."

"Mom, is Derun any different?" Huang brought the dishes to them. The table was still very rich in summer, with two kinds of wild vegetables and an egg pancake for each person.

Lin said: "With the support of the government, I once donated food and fodder to the government army when they went out to the north.

Their family is from the provincial capital, and it is said that their cloth shops are all along the North Grand Canal. The one who is now managing the business in Linghe County is a concubine's son, who is used to having fun and making friends. "

"There are still only a few villagers who go to the county town to buy cloth. We just go our own way to facilitate the villagers and it has nothing to do with them." Shen Changsui thought that he must work harder to learn skills after the summer. He must at least pass the imperial examination to become an academician next year.

"Uncle, when I'm not dyeing cloth in the winter, I'm thinking of going to the morning market in the county town to sell some cloth." The temperature drops in the north in winter, and it's not a joke. It's inconvenient to rinse after the river water freezes, and the dye color will vary greatly due to temperature.

Shen Changsui thought about it and said, "I won't go into the city to sell cloth for the time being. I'll do it later."

"Okay." Shen Xiaoye thought that his family had no financial strength, and it was not worth it to go to the county town to compete with the old cloth shops for business and sell a few pieces of cloth.

Shen Cungeng said, "Live in the city?" He finally got a single room, was he going to sleep in the same room with his fourth uncle again?

"Can't we live here? Then Xiaoye and I can set up a pancake stall and earn the rent." Huang asked him back.

How could he dare to say no to his mother? "Of course! But it's better to check the kang in that room before moving it, and the windows of the two master bedrooms should be covered again.

The room faces east and west, so it will be colder in winter.”

"It looks like the house isn't in great condition. Take me there to have a look later." Lin wasn't very satisfied when she heard that.

Shen Cungeng was silent for a moment. He looked around and found that Xiaoye and his fourth uncle were eating very seriously, so he also tried to eat more.

When the old man came back from hunting some wild animals, the little black cat asked to go out with Shen Xiaoye as usual.

She asked behind everyone's back: "Has mother Leopard agreed to go?"

"We haven't found it yet. The mountains in Jiuli Village are shallow, so it's impossible for it to live there forever. It's good to remember the road and come to see the little leopard occasionally." The little black cat had clear ideas.

It also curiously asked: "Why didn't Shen Changsui tell your family about the treasure hunt in Wuzhong Mountain after he came back?

I asked him if the location of the box was okay, but he always avoided answering.

"Probably not. Don't be so curious." In fact, Shen Xiaoye didn't have the opportunity to talk to her uncle alone for too long, otherwise she would also want to know.

The little black cat naturally didn't know what was really in her mind.

This time, only the two uncles and Shen Xiaoye went out to collect cloth. Grandpa took his cousin to travel around the surrounding areas near Jiuli Village.

Shen Xiaoye caught up with the donkey cart as she wished, but she was watched closely by her fourth uncle, so she couldn't run wildly. She followed her eldest uncle's cart slowly and asked naturally, "Why did my uncle say that the Li family might have come here as a warning?"

"Mr. Pan has made a great contribution this time." Shen Changsui's brief words accompanied by the movement of rubbing his fingers lightly made Shen Xiaoye's eyes widen. Silver! So my uncle also made a contribution. "So it's true, how much?"

Seeing her uncle flip his right palm four times, she gasped, "Twenty!" Ten thousand taels of silver.

Shen Changsui shook his head: "Yellow." Not only that, after finding the mechanism in the dilapidated back hall, there were also a lot of silk fabrics, several famous paintings and rare books from previous generations. Compared with these, all the swords, guns and muskets seemed a little weak.

The Li family may not know about the merits of the gentleman's memorial, but they must know that the gentleman was personally picked up by the doctor of the Ministry of Revenue a few days ago and someone was sent to escort him back to the city.

When we returned to the city, I stayed with my husband.

Shen Xiaoye pulled the reins hard, and the donkey stopped in pain. She climbed onto the cart and said, "I have to slow down."

Two hundred thousand taels of gold can be converted into at least one million taels of silver.

"Meow!" The little black cat was held too tightly by her, so he struggled to get free and asked, "What are you talking about? The yellow cloth?"

Shen Xiaoye let it go, grabbed the water bottle and took a few sips to calm down, "Grandpa Zhuang, can you put it back?"

“It has been found that he has nothing to do with this incident, nor has he anything to do with arson.

But it's related to Uncle Zhongqin." Shen Changsui threw out this sentence, which surprised Shen Xiaoye again, "Uncle, can you finish it at once?"

Shen Changsui was very calm: "That's all I know. Oh, and the one with white hair is nowhere to be found.

No more talking, we are almost at the county town.” They wanted to go to the ferry to look for Uncle Xin, and they also needed to cross the county town to Xinzhuang and sell the goats at the same time.

While waiting for her uncle, Shen Xiaoye was not idle and went to several cloth shops to take a look.

This was shocking: the door of Derun Cloth Shop was closed and there was no one there.

She came back puzzled and told her uncle about it. Shen Changsui pondered for a moment and said, "I'll ask Brother Yue to take a look."

Shen Xiaoye thought that Fourth Uncle would come back soon after asking questions, but it was a long time since First Uncle finished paying the bill, and he still hadn't come back. "Sui Ge'er, do you have anything to say today?"

Coincidentally, Shen Changsui came back just as he finished speaking, and brought a chapter novel to Shen Xiaoye.

She opened the page with the bookmark in confusion, and saw the words written on it: Virtue and loyalty are related, watch for danger.
