The Red Chamber Collection

Guard Li came over here under Xiao Er's guidance.Seeing Fan Jiyi, he offered his hands and said with a smile: "It turns out that Master Fan is here, please excuse me!"

"Oh, it turned out to be Master Li! I don't know if Master Li came here, he was greeted from afar, disrespected, disrespected!"

Although the official ranks are similar, but because Li Shiwei is in the palace, his status is naturally higher than that of Fan Jiyi.

Guard Li was afraid that Fan Jiyi would tell the truth, so he hurriedly said: "That's right, Miss brought a few friends from the capital over for a visit. Out of curiosity, I want to ask the shopkeeper about something, so please go and talk to the shopkeeper!"

The shopkeeper stood aside and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "This, this?"

Fan Jiyi panicked when he heard what Li Shiwei said.The young lady Li Shiwei spoke of was a frown and a frown.Friends in Beijing?Could it be that the sixth prince is here?They're just pretending to be casual, otherwise, wouldn't this place be messed up a long time ago?Guards had already come in to bombard people.

So he hurriedly said to Zhang Shengxian, the shopkeeper of the restaurant: "Go, shopkeeper, the guests are waiting for you!"

The shopkeeper just went out with Xiao Er, and several officials stood up to salute Li Shiwei, Li Shiwei hurriedly booed and said: "My lords, there is no need to be too polite! You can eat as if nothing happened!"

Fan Jiyi said: "May I ask Mr. Li, who is over there? We have to go there, and it is reasonable to see him."

"It's still not necessary!" Li Shiwei said: "They are entering the city with frowns this time, they are all in casual clothes. Princess Yanzi and the sixth prince are here, and I will tell you the respect of all adults!"

Several officials, hearing what Li Wei said, were so frightened that they fell silent.They were supposed to use their fists to guess wine, but at this moment, they were all sitting seriously.Ears pay attention to the movement next door.

The sixth prince is still close.Reasonable.It's just that Princess Yanzi is not easy to serve, and she is afraid that if she is not careful, she will flatter her horse's ass.Fan Jiyi was not sure about her hobbies.

Fan Jiyi also felt that the swallow didn't seem to have a good impression of the local officials.Is this because Daiyu's house was ransacked?Unknown!

Drinking quietly here.Pick up the cup and don't make any noise.Just whisper.Talk about the sixth prince's visit this time.I don't know why.

Guard Li came over, and Zhang Shengxian was having a lively chat with the two shopkeepers and Daiyu.

"I never expected that it was Ms. Lin who arrived. It really made Wang Fulou flourish!" Zhang Shengxian offered his hands to Daiyu.

"I also came here because of the reputation. I heard that your dishes are outstanding, so I brought a few friends to taste one or two!" Daiyu smiled and said, "Can shopkeeper Zhang come to some special dishes and introduce one or two?"

"It's just a false name. The guests are just showing love, how dare you brag in front of the lady?! The lady is from a rich family. What kind of food have you never tasted? It is said that the lady has eaten in the palace. There is no better food in the world than in the palace! If the lady does not dislike it , I’ll ask the kitchen to tidy up a few things, and the young lady and everyone will just eat. Today’s table is a contempt! I hope Miss Lin will accept it with a smile!”

"Hey. Where did you spend the money? Seeing that you are good to my sister, today's table is on my brother's head!" Yanzi said.

The sixth prince looked at Yanzi playing with himself again.What is a meal? !It's just that she said that, and she felt very passive.Paying money is a small matter.It seems that the credit is on her!

The struggle of the three shopkeepers.Noisy.

Daiyu hurriedly said, "Everyone, listen to me!"

When Daiyu spoke, everyone hurriedly shut up.Daiyu said: "Don't argue with anyone today, I have asked Xiaocui to deposit the bank note below. First of all, the two shopkeepers treated me very warmly. Daiyu thanked me, and I should return the invitation!" Secondly, my friend came here in the capital. If I don’t spend money here, I will feel sorry for them when they go back! Besides, how can I let shopkeeper Zhang spend money when I meet shopkeeper Zhang for the first time? It’s just that shopkeeper Zhang has something delicious here. Drink it, just come up, so that my friend from the capital will not be in vain!"

Shopkeeper Zhang has heard of Daiyu for a long time.Hearing the introduction of two other shopkeepers who are familiar with him, he knew that he was the owner of the Lin Mansion, so how dare he be disrespectful? !

He has been in the business for a long time, and he is familiar with the world and the world.Seeing Master Fan respect Li Shiwei very much, it can be seen that Li Shiwei is honorable.Such a precious person, but he came to call him himself, which shows that these people have a lot of background.Shopkeeper Zhang didn't dare to ask again.

Do business, talk and do things, you must pay attention to everything.He saw that such a great person as Daiyu came to honor him, how much is this meal worth?One more friend and one more road!

Shopkeeper Zhang heard what Daiyu said, so he said to Daiyu: "Miss Lin said so, what should I do? Please wait a moment, everyone, I will come as soon as I go."

Shopkeeper Zhang went to the kitchen in person and explained something.The dishes must not be sloppy, let the master cook.In his study, he brought a can of tea.Walking to Daiyu's hall, he said, "This is tea brought from West Lake by my friend Wu Min, please taste it!"

"Wu Min?" The Sixth Prince said, "But he can write poems and paint, drink and sing wildly, and he is from Hangzhou?"

"Exactly!" Shopkeeper Zhang said, "This master also knows?"

"I have a very good relationship with Banqiao in Yangzhou. I met him once in the capital. It was at a friend's banquet. It's just that he is rebellious. It's a pity for such a talent!" the sixth prince said.

"What the Lord said is very true. He has cherished each other with Mr. Zheng all his life and has a very good personal relationship. It is also because of him that I have obtained Mr. Zheng's three words. Now it is hung on the gate tower."

Daiyu said: "It's just that Mr. Zheng is also weird. With these three characters, how much does the shopkeeper give as a gift?"

"1000 taels!" The shopkeeper said, "I respect Mr. Zheng, and the 1000 taels are too much for Jimin!"

Talking, tea has been brewed!After Daiyu took a sip, she only felt the fragrance and sweetness, so she knew it was Longjing.Seeing the beauty of color and green shape, it is indeed the best.So much appreciated!Everyone said good tea.

"Shopkeeper Zhang seems to be proficient in history books, and good at making literary friends?" the sixth prince said.

"I'm not talented. I'm just a literati who came here. I really know a thing or two! I also heard about it. I heard that Ms. Lin's piano, chess, calligraphy and painting can be described as everyone's demeanor. Especially in poetry and poetry!"

Swallow intends to lift Daiyu.She thought Daiyu wanted to do business, and Confucian businessmen are more respected by the world, so she said, "Is it up to you to say that? I heard that the emperor likes my sister's poems very much!"

"Miss, have you met the emperor?" Shopkeeper Zhou asked in surprise.

"It's all in the past!" Daiyu said.Daiyu wanted to change the subject, she came here for development, how could she get entangled in such a boring issue? !He said: "I'm here now, and I'm not good at managing it. I set up a workshop, and all the sisters can barely support it. If you have more money in the future and want to find a small business in the city to make a living, can you give me some advice?"

"Miss's words make us feel ashamed!" Shopkeeper Zhang said: "Miss's current family fortune is beyond my generation!"

Daiyu smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Zhang is too modest. I don't know where all the dishes from shopkeeper Zhang come from?"

"It's all bought from the market!"

Daiyu smiled and said, "Now the mansion is going to expand the land. There are so many servants. I just don't know how to raise them! If they are sent to deliver food every day, wouldn't it be convenient for shopkeeper Zhang? The price is also cheaper than the market, chickens Duck. The shopkeeper needs everything here. I can deliver it to my door. What does shopkeeper Zhang think?"

After Daiyu said this, the swallow and the sixth prince were stunned.What are you doing?Is there any such business?

Unexpectedly, shopkeeper Zhang clapped his palms and said with a smile: "If it's from the Miss's house, there's nothing wrong with me here, and I'll accept everything. It's just the price. I'll pay the market price. Otherwise, people will think I've cheated on Miss if they know about it. .It saves me a lot of trouble. I go by myself every day, I am too tired, and I have to carry it with a waiter. If the lady brings it to my door, I would like it!"

Daiyu said: "In terms of price, I can make some concessions. Then we will settle this matter. I will go back and let people raise chickens and ducks. Let people grow vegetables and fruits on ten acres of land."

"Then it's a deal!" Shopkeeper Zhou clasped his fists and said.

Swallow said: "It's missing! What about the other restaurants? There is Zhizao Mansion, and the soldiers here. Don't the old man's yamen and others not eat food?"

Daiyu hurriedly said, "I don't want to do business with them!"

"Why?" The three shopkeepers were all surprised.Why is Miss Lin not earning money?

Daiyu laughed and said, "I was copied and went home, I'm afraid!"

Everyone nodded.Think of Daiyu's ransacked house.

The shopkeeper Zhou said: "This Feng Renxiao Feng shopkeeper was also doing business with the young lady. I don't know why the house was ransacked?"

Daiyu was afraid that the swallows would get angry, so she hurriedly said: "I don't know, maybe I have done something shameful with the government!" After Daiyu finished speaking, she changed the conversation again: "Master Zhou, how is your business in the cloth shop? "

Shopkeeper Zhou hurriedly said: "Thanks to Miss, the business is booming! It's just that it would be great if Miss can expand production!"

Daiyu said: "Come on, after the new year, the production volume is estimated to triple!"

Shopkeeper Zhou and Shopkeeper Sun only nodded with joy.

Daiyu said again: "I don't know how the grain store is doing here?"

Shopkeeper Zhang said: "Miss Lin has her own land, has Miss Lin thought about opening a grain store?"

"Oh, it's difficult at the beginning of everything now. I have a lot of things in my house and I'm short of competent people. How can I take care of it alone? Fortunately, Zijuan helped me, so I didn't worry about the workshop. Now this place I have only started to deal with the matter of my mother. On specific matters, Steward Wang sometimes dare not make big decisions, so I have to decide. There are dozens of servants in the mansion immediately, and I have to make arrangements! You say such things, Which one can make me worry? To be honest, I want to do everything, but I am too busy!"

Everyone hurriedly gave a thumbs up and said, "Miss Lin's thinking is beyond my reach!"

While talking, the guy has brought the dishes.Shopkeeper Zhang wanted to leave, Daiyu said, "Shopkeeper Zhang, why do you need to leave? Do you have an extra pair of chopsticks?"

Shopkeeper Zhang cupped his fists and laughed, "I'm afraid I'll disturb your guests here!"

The sixth prince said: "Sit down, it's okay!"

Daiyu glanced at the sixth prince, who regretted his tone.So he hurriedly added: "From now on, we will be friends, and we should take care of each other! You are welcome!"

Shopkeeper Zhang put on a smiley face before sitting down.Dao made a noise.

Because there is a topic, the table is full of excitement.Pushing a cup to change a cup, Daiyu didn't drink too much, but just discussed business with the three of them.

At this time, Daiyu was thinking about settling the people in the house down.To achieve that everyone has something to do.So all his thoughts were spent on doing business here, and he didn't take into account the feelings of Yanzi and the sixth prince.Daiyu thought, the most important thing is to keep people alive first.

After drinking and eating, Daiyu spoke highly of Wang Fulou's dishes.After a short rest, after drinking tea, a group of people came down.

Shopkeeper Zhang refused to ask Daiyu to pay the money.The two couldn't argue.

Shopkeeper Zhou said: "Miss Lin, let's do this. You will collect your money when you come back. This is also a little thought from shopkeeper Zhang, so Miss Lin will take it! Besides, Miss Lin and shopkeeper Zhang have negotiated a deal, and they will bring money to each other. It’s convenient, shopkeeper Zhang is also very happy today!”

Shopkeeper Zhang hurriedly said: "Exactly!"

Daiyufang doesn't argue with her.

Coming out of Wang Fulou, Daiyu bid farewell to the three shopkeepers.When we meet again, Daiyu readily agrees.

Along the way, Yanzi said in surprise, "Sister, you are so different from what you used to be! What's in your head?"

Daiyu sighed: "I'm on the verge of riding a tiger now! I didn't expect that things would come to this point. Now there are more and more people in the mansion, and they have to dress and eat. I am worried about this. I How can I still have the mind to play, I came here to have a look! There is a lack of management staff now. I am really worried!"

Swallow said: "What are you worried about? It's not ready-made here!"

Yanzi pointed to the sixth prince and said: "Let him help you for a few months and lead your affairs on the road. It will not be too late for him to withdraw and return to Beijing."

Daiyu laughed and said, "My sister is making fun of me. The sixth prince can be said to be a celebrity around the emperor, how can he do such a trivial thing?"

"What's the matter? I don't have an official position. The emperor often appoints me as an imperial envoy. If I don't go now, someone else will go! Besides, it's almost winter, so I'll ask someone to call the emperor. It's not impossible to stay here! "

Daiyu hurriedly shook her hand and said, "I dare not use it. How dare I bother the Sixth Prince? Wouldn't it make people laugh out loud?!"

Several people wandered around Suzhou City for a few days, and Daiyu said to the sixth prince, Yanzi: "Let's go back. If there is a chance in the future, I will do something here. I also have a fixed place. It will be convenient for you to come at that time. Now I live here. All the places are provided by shopkeeper Zhou. We live here and don’t need money, so we don’t want to stay for a long time! And everything is inconvenient.”

The sixth prince, Yanzi, agreed unanimously.Yanzi said: "Isn't it because of you? Otherwise, I would have wanted to leave a long time ago. Listening to what you said to those shopkeepers, I feel sleepy!"

Daiyu hurriedly put her arms around Yanzi and said, "Sister, I'm sorry. I didn't take good care of you this time around!"

Swallow cut and said: "Hello, I'm fine! You still take care of me? What are you going to take care of me? Bring my luggage, can you move it?"

The swallow hangs on Daiyu's nose.Daiyu dodges.Instruct Xiaocui to get Lizhuang into the car.Guard Li came over to help.

Daiyu came over to bid farewell to Shopkeeper Zhou and Shopkeeper Sun, and said, "Looking forward to next year, if it's good, I'll let you sell some high-quality cloth. But most of my silk will go to Beijing."

Shopkeeper Sun hurriedly said: "Miss Lin, if this silk is transported to the capital, the price will be much more expensive than here. You don't need to sell the silk in our locality. It's just a small item. I hope Miss can find more girls. So that we can sell what we have. Miss can earn more money!"

Daiyu nodded and said, "I'm new to this, and I'm not very familiar with it. This girl won't stay at home for a few years, and she will marry when she grows up. One will leave today, and another will come tomorrow. There is no fixed number of people. The skills are not yet available." I have to teach them one by one. When I go back, I will organize some daughters-in-law to do it, which is more reliable!"

The two hurriedly agreed that they wanted Daiyu to come over often!Daiyu agreed and went by car. L
