Chapter 279: Opening a Shop
The dog has been with Yinzhen for many years, clever and studious, and literate and hyphenated, and now Yinzhen has been promoted, released as an official, and the future is limitless.
After listening to the dog's words, Ling Ruo was also happy for him, "Although you can go to work with peace of mind, Ah Yi and I will take good care of her, and I will never let her suffer a little grievance." When you're settled in the future, you can take her over if you want to."
"With the words Fu Jin, the slave will be at ease." The dog breathed a sigh of relief, and was released as an official, which was a great opportunity for him, and the only thing he was not worried about was Ah Yi, who originally wanted to take Ah Yi with him, but the first was a long way, and the second was that he didn't know what the situation was over there, and he was alone and brought a sister, which was inevitably inconvenient.
His eyes swept over Li Wei and the others with envy on their faces, and Ling Ruo said: "Since you want to be an official, this name should be changed, otherwise the dignified county will be called a dog, wouldn't it make people laugh." ”
Gou'er smiled: "Yesterday, the fourth master has given the slave a name, and the slave's family name is Zhang, so the fourth master gave the name Zhang Cheng." ”
"It's so good, you can have today thanks to the cultivation and promotion of the fourth master, and you should be loyal to the lord in the future." After saying a few more words, the dog said, Oh, it's time to call Zhang Cheng, and then leave Jingsiju and go back to get ready.
It wasn't until Zhang Cheng walked away that Li Weifang withdrew his envious gaze, and raised his eyes just in time to see Ling Ruo looking at him, and hurriedly lowered his head.
Since the last time he was punished, Li Wei had been silent in front of Ling Ruo for a long time, and only when Ling Ruo called him or sent him a few words. But when he starts things, he is no longer as careful and steady as before, and sometimes very simple things will be messed up, which makes Ling Ruo dissatisfied with him, Moyu and others have persuaded Li Wei several times, but unfortunately he can't listen at all, and still goes his own way.
Not long after Zhang Cheng left, Ah Yi walked in and was quite happy to learn that his brother was going to be an official, and then Ling Ruo asked about Fu Congzhi.
A fire in the deserted temple destroyed Fu Congzhi's eyes, making him unable to see from then on; Ling Ruo originally wanted him to testify against Tong Jia's family, but after the last refusal, Yinzhen forgave Tong Jia's family, making Defu Cong become a useless outcast.
Ling Ruo originally planned to give him a sum of money and let him go home, but Fu Congzhi said that he had no family for a long time and did not plan to go back, but wanted to continue to stay in the capital. He said that although he couldn't see with both eyes, he had a good memory and was good at arithmetic, so he could help the Mao brothers take care of their business, and it happened that Ling Ruo wanted to do the spice business at that time, so he let him stay.
After that, she went to Hangzhou with Yinzhen, and when she came back, she heard that the spices on consignment began to be cold for a while, and then gradually had a business.
The Mao brothers saw that they were making money, so they simply sold it themselves, so they tightened their belts and allocated more than half of the little silver in their hands to find the cheapest store nearby and rent it.
Originally, Mao Da wanted to invite someone to take care of the store, and then let Fu Congzhi settle accounts in the store or something, but Fu Congzhi not only has a good memory, but also has a very smart nose, so many incense powders are placed together, he can distinguish each box of incense powder from it, and hand it to the guests accurately, which is better than those who have no problem with their eyes.
So later, he simply saved the money for inviting people and let Fu Congzhi be in charge of the business of ** Zhai, but because of his inconvenient eyes, Ah Yi has always stayed to take care of it with him; After Ling Ruo came back, he also acquiesced to this, and did not order Ah Yi to come back, but only asked her to come back once in a while.
"**Lent has been open for a few months, and now it has gradually had a business, and several bottles of incense powder can be sold every day, but there are often customers who say that there is nothing that can be used on the body in our store except for incense powder, and they often have to go to other stores to buy it again, which is quite inconvenient."
Ling Ruo nodded while listening, in addition to the incense powder, the woman also has rouge, lip grease, Fu powder, thrush ink, etc., now they only have one kind of incense powder in the store, which is indeed too single, and it is difficult to really gain a foothold in the capital where there are many fat powder shops.
asked Shui Yue, and she said that she knew a little about how to make these things, but she didn't know everything, not to mention that one person couldn't make so many things.
Ling Ruo thought for a while and said to Ah Yi: "Later, take the silver I have for this month to Mao Da and them, and let them try to invite a capable incense maker to come over." First, you can make some things other than incense powder and put them in the store, and second, you can also let him help Shui Yue try to complete the remnants of the ancestral recipe. At the beginning, ** Zhai was famous in the capital, and it must have its advantages, even if it was just to restore one or two, it was enough for us to use. "Without silver, a lot of connections can't be built, silver is not everything, but without silver is impossible. Now that there is such a possible way to make money, Ling Ruo naturally wants to give it a try.
"As for Fu Congzhi...... he pointed his chin and said, "Since he has such a keen sense of smell, he doesn't want to waste it, helping to smell which flowers and plants in it will be more attractive." After Ah Yi agreed, she said: "But Fu Congzhi, you still have to pay attention to this person, I'm afraid that he has no feelings for Tong Jia's family, if this is the case, this person is our scourge, and we can't keep it." ”
"Slave and maid remember." Ah Yi bit her lip and whispered, "Can the slave go and see my brother?" "Zhang Cheng's trip will take at least three years and five years, even if he settles down and asks someone to pick up Ah Yi, it is not a short time. Ah Yi, who has never been separated from Zhang Changchang for a long time, is inevitably reluctant.
Ling Ruo smiled gently, "Go ahead, remember not to let too many people see it." ”
"Hey!" Ah Yi happily agreed, and walked away with light steps, and when she walked into the courtyard, a ray of sunlight fell from the clouds, which happened to shine on Ah Yi's face, and the red scar on her face did not look so obvious under the spring sun.
Seeing the small purple flower that Ah Yi wore on her sideburns, Ling Ruo sighed silently, Ah Yi, she was originally a girl in her youth, but because of the evil of the Ye family, her face was like yin and yang, and she has not married yet, which is really regrettable.
With this ray of sunshine, the clouds gradually dispersed, and a large area of light golden sunlight sprinkled down, warm and warm, and finally began to have a trace of spring.
It has been a long time since the flowers and trees such as Ruixiang, camellia, and peony placed in the courtyard have been moved from the flower room, and the sky has not been sunny before, so it is not obvious to see, but now it looks a little ruined.
Ling Ruoyang said with a raised face: "Little Weizi, move these flowers back to the flower room, and then move a few pots that bloom well." ”
"Is it just a minion?" Li Wei looked at the dozen pots of flowers and trees in the courtyard and asked.
