Chapter Ninety-Three: Sickness
However, in the streets outside the city for more than three miles, Yan Qingyao introduced these shops to Chen Qianhu door to door all the way, except that the painting style is not quite right, the tour guide is basically good.
"Na, this jewelry shop and the pharmacy on the front street are both old stores in Guangcheng, in fact, they are one, the shopkeeper of the jewelry shop hooked the mother-in-law of the shopkeeper of the pharmacy, and gave birth to a doll, which is the shopkeeper of the jewelry shop now." Yan Qingyao didn't introduce what was sold in the shop at all, and the east and west families were short everywhere, "The two shopkeepers are actually brothers!" ”
"It's just that the surname is different!"
In a very short period of time, Chen Mu had a full and clear understanding of the internal contradictions of the merchant families and the external contradictions of the neighborhood that opened shops on these two streets.
Of course, it is indispensable that there is a comprehensive analysis of the five green buildings outside the west gate of Guangcheng from the perspectives of origin, appearance, skills, technology, and price.
Walking out of the tailor's shop, he had just ordered a set of round-necked cyan brocade embroidered robes and black hats, and paid a deposit to take it for more than a month, Chen Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
Sixteen years before Jiajing, there was no restriction on the color of the regular clothes worn by officials, soldiers and civilians, but the three colors of Xuanhuang and purple were prohibited, but Emperor Jiajing was a very assertive person, and there were many prohibitions on the color of clothing.
What affected Chen Mu was that the Wupin military attache could only wear cyan splendid regular clothes on serious occasions when he did not wear official uniforms.
Of course, the imperial court has repeatedly banned this ritual, and there are not many people in the people who care about this kind of thing, but Chen Mu thinks that the system that should be observed must still be observed, not to mention ...... The clothes he ordered were beautiful.
The location of the clothing shop is excellent, and you can smell the sea in the air.
As long as you look south, you can cross the rice fields at the end of the road to see the Beijiang River of the Pearl River, and the river surface that is more than two miles wide separates the vision that Chen Muji wants to look at - on the other side of the river, it is Xiangshan, and the Haojing is there.
The little girl took a few steps forward, but Chen Mu didn't keep up, and when she looked back, she saw that he was stunned towards the river, his black eyes were dripping in his eyes, and he shook his fingers in front of Chen Mu and pretended to pinch his fingers.
"Chen Saidonkey, the old lady pinched her fingers...... Ouch! ”
Chen Mu raised his hand and withdrew his gaze, "Speak well." ”
The little girl held the back of her head with her hands, and she was very well-behaved: "Master Jun, the slave family pinched your fingers, your luck should be famous overseas, and it will definitely not take a few days to lead the troops to kill the Japanese and fight the red hair!" ”
"Huh!" Chen Mu sneered, "You can tell fortunes at a young age?" ”
Not to mention, born in this era, who doesn't want to have a trick with the Beiyu, defeat the Jurchen and turn around to grab the tail of the Age of Discovery, the little girl can be regarded as talking about Chen Muxin's troubles.
"Hey, it's not that the old lady is good."
As soon as he said fat, Yan Qingyao immediately gasped, waving his arms like white lotus roots, seemingly indifferent, but in fact extremely useful, "That's the military grandfather and mother are born well, and the name is even more absolute, you don't need to report your birthday, the five elements are short of water and wood, you should take a boat to go to sea, appropriate!" ”
"You lack heart and eyes in the five elements!"
Chen Mu laughed out loud, turned around as he walked, and said suspiciously: "I said that a good little girl is quite peugeot, who did you learn this nonsense from?" ”
"Who else can you talk to, the guests of the wine shop!"
Yan Qingyao's eyes widened, and his face was full of habit, "Mr. Storyteller, a neighbor, and a neighbor's aunt are all chatting like this, and the guests like to listen to me because of this lively mouth." ”
"You're good, others like you and you are noisy, others see that I am not petite, you say that the slave Peugeot!"
Chen Mu thought it was quite funny for her to puff out her mouth at first, but she knew that her tone was low in a blink of an eye, "The military master will definitely have a prosperous official fortune in the future, and the ability to open his eyes and say nonsense can't be compared to the county master!" ”
Chen Junye was angry and funny in his heart, "What is the old man of the county can't compare, the old man of the county is only seven grades, and the thousand households are five grades!" Besides, what does it have to do with being small and tall and being born Peugeot or not? ”
"Why didn't it matter!"
"When I was eight years old, my mother was abducted in Yangzhou and sold to my mother who raised thin horses. Playing dominoes, dancing swords and boxing, anything. It is to be sold to the lord of high-ranking officials and earn a thousand taels of silver for his mother! ”
"After three years of study, I have grown taller. No matter how much you press, she is still half a head taller than others, and she has become a second-class cultivation method, teaching arithmetic and bookkeeping, learning to observe words and feelings, saying that she will sell it to businessmen in the future, and if she can't be a little wife, she can also have multiple helpers and earn a hundred and ten taels for her mother. ”
"After another two years, my feet are bigger. How to wrap it, it is still long, and the crescent shoes have to be made bigger, alas! Speaking of this, the little girl sighed, as if she had missed out on the thin horse, and said: "I have done the third-class cultivation method, learning from the girl's popularity, making tailoring, frying and steaming cakes, making stove food, arranging fruits, serving tea and water." ”
"Mom said that this is not easy to sell, at most a dozen taels will be sold to ordinary people, and she will lose money as a mother-in-law." Yan Qingyao spread his hands in a humble manner, "Later, Uncle Yan bought the old lady back and went to Guangcheng to open a wine shop, and he learned it all for nothing, so he didn't need it at all, even keeping an account, Uncle Yan remembered it himself, Master Jun, you give a review, if it weren't for the fact that the old lady was not born in Peugeot, where would she lose money so much!" ”
Chen Mu's face was very complicated, the little girl was sold by traffickers to raise thin horses at a young age, and she was bought after six years of sin.
If it weren't for Yan Qingyao's appearance of being sold and helping the traffickers count the money, this would have been a very sad story.
"But when you say that, I think you've made it!"
He tried to hold back, but he couldn't hold it back, and burst out laughing.
Chen Mu clapped his palms on the back of his hand and said, "You have lived for nothing in the hands of human traffickers for six years, so I won't talk about it." Look at these things you have learned, how many crafts are there, traffickers are not making money, but you have earned, a dozen taels is enough for food, this meat and vegetarian are not taboo, the ability to appreciate elegance and vulgarity allows you to learn cleanly, your money is not enough to find a gentleman! ”
In recent years, buying and selling human beings has become a craft, and the people who raise thin horses in Yangzhou are desperate, but their vision is tricky and classified, and Chen Mu has to be convinced.
"Where is there a gentleman who teaches slaves, he can't sell it for a good price, and what he learns is useless."
Yan Qingyao sighed, "Mom also said at that time that if there were no salt merchants in Yangzhou, the old lady would not worry about marrying, but now if you want to marry a good family, it will be difficult!" ”
"It's a little bit of a fart, and I'm worried about what to marry. Alright, let's go back to your Uncle Yan. As he spoke, he walked back to the restaurant, Chen Mu clapped his hands, took out a tael of silver and threw it to the restaurant that followed behind, and said to Yan Qingyao: "This is the reward for the girl to lead the way, see you later." ”
Saying that, Chen Mu led the flag army away, and Yan Qingyao's crisp voice came from behind.
"Eh, the military master gives money! If you give the money, you will say it early, and the old lady will sing you a children's song, and it is okay to say a book! Slow down! ”
Chen Mu smiled dumbly, didn't look back, just beckoned back.
These Ming Dynasty salt merchants are all stupid dick aesthetics, they don't look at their faces, they want to look at their feet - they are sick!
