Chapter 206: The Four Great Salt Merchants

Seeing that Yi Zhi's content was embarrassed, Pan Shiming said in a round game: "Who is not young and ridiculous, and he is a famous prodigal son in Xiguan before, since it is harmless, everyone should not stand and sit." As he spoke, he gave Jin Lanxiang a look.

Jin Lanxiang pursed her lips and smiled, Yingying Yifu, and said: "I don't know that Yi Gongzi and Sister Xuan have met, it is the little woman Meng Lang, Yi Gongzi and Wu Gongzi, please sit down, and the little woman will make a good pot of tea for you to apologize." As she spoke, she gently dragged Xu Yixuan and turned around and walked out of the hall.

Seeing Xu Yixuan follow out of the door, Yi Zhixin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "Brother Zhishu has always been able to speak well, and he will be embarrassed when he doesn't want to." Wu Changqing teased him with a smile before he introduced: "This is the sister, this is the cousin Miss Kong." ”

Wu Changqing arched his hand and smiled: "Let the two girls laugh." ”

Wu Huiling and Kong Deya are not very old, only between fifteen or sixteen years old, Kong Deya rarely meets young men, it is inevitable that she is a little nervous and restrained, she nodded reservedly, but she did not say anything, Wu Huiling is different, she is a little boyish, and Wu Changqing is present, she is not timid at all, and said with a smile: "Yi Gongzi's name, the little woman is like thunder, I heard that you are going to open a women's machine silk reeling factory, but there is such a thing?" ”

Word of this? Impossible, Longjiang Machine Silk Reeling Factory has not yet begun to recruit a large number of female workers, Yi Zhizhi couldn't help but glance at Wu Changqing, Wu Changqing coughed lightly, and pretended to reprimand: "Eavesdropping on the conversation of my brother again, isn't it?" ”

Wu Huiling was not afraid of him at all, and asked, "Is this really the case?" ”

Yi Zhishu nodded and said, "This is indeed the case." How. Ms Ng is interested in recruiting female workers in the machine silk reeling factory? ”

"So to speak." Wu Huiling said: "Four yuan a month's salary. Also true? ”

Yi Zhishu nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"I'm going to go to the silk reeling factory." Wu Huiling said excitedly.

Yi Zhixiang was speechless for a while, this is still a child at all, Wu Changqing glared at her fiercely, and said, "Nonsense, isn't it?" Go back and see how the third uncle disciplines you. ”

When Jin Lanxiang left the hall, she instructed the maid, "Go and see if the water is boiling?" Then he took Xu Yixuan's hand and entered the west wing, and then said with a smile: "My sister is always a man, not careful, why is she angry with Yi Gongzi." Not relenting? ”

"Who is obsessed with it and will not forgive?" Xu Yixuan glanced at her and quipped: "As soon as my sister opens her mouth, she prefers to help outsiders, but she is tempted?" ”

"Who's going to help?" Jin Lanxiang said with a smile: "My sister is weak-hearted, and she beats a rake." ”

"I won't quarrel with you." Xu Yixuan said: "This person is slippery and frivolous, cunning and lustful, and has a prodigal nature. ”

"It's not as unbearable as my sister said, right?" Jin Lanxiang said suspiciously: "My cousin is easy not to boast, but he respects Yi Gongzi very much, will my sister misunderstand?" ”

"Miss, the water is boiling."

"Hey. Here it comes. Jin Lanxiang replied and said, "Let's go back and talk about it in detail." ”

Not for a while. Jin Lanxiang took the maid up to pour tea for everyone, seeing that Xu Yixuan didn't come out with him, Yi Zhizhi was relieved, and suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, compared to the chattering Wu Huiling and the stuffy gourd-like Kong Deya, Jin Lanxiang was very generous and understanding, he couldn't help but secretly look at it a few times, not to mention, Wu Changqing really didn't boast in vain, this Jin Lanxiang is really like a pearl like jade, not only white as fat, but also beautiful as a flower, and a good figure.

"The little woman is not good at the tea ceremony, so she is clumsy, please taste it slowly." Jin Lanxiang glanced at Yi Zhizhi as if she didn't have anything, and then retreated after blessing.

Yi Zhizhi had no intention of tasting tea, and after a few sips, Pan Shiming did not want to stay longer, and the men and women met in private, and it was not a good reputation to spread the word, so he immediately got up and said goodbye.

Exiting the courtyard from the back door, Yi Zhizu took out a folding fan and fanned: "This is like being a thief, and I am sweating finely." ”

Wu Changqing quipped: "It's a weak heart." ”

"What do I have to lose?" Yi Zhizu couldn't help but inquire as he spoke: "That girl Xu often dresses as a man, and she has a pair of big feet, what's going on, aren't the women of ordinary big families bound their feet?" ”

"What's so strange about that." Wu Changqing said: "As the saying goes, it is not uncommon for a girl to not go to school, a girl to not bind her feet, and a woman from a large family not to bind her feet. ”

"That girl Xu seems to be not young, why haven't she married yet?"

Pan Shiming glanced at him and said, "Contentment shouldn't be intentional to Miss Xu, right?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense." Yi Zhishu hurriedly shook his head and said, "It's just curious." ”

"The Xu family and the Jin family have always been good friends, and Miss Xu and her cousin are also diligent in moving around, and I heard her mention Miss Xu." Pan Shiming said with a smile: "Since I am content and interested, I will say a few words, Miss Xu is married in the belly, and her husband's family is the Dongting Xi family, but because her fiancΓ© is not in good health, she has never passed the door, and her parents should be a little guilty about her, so they are more indulgent to her." ”

Is it a marriage or a sick ghost? also married far away to Dongting Lake! Yi Zhizhi couldn't help but sigh secretly, this is really in response to the sentence of red face and thin life, seeing that he was silent, Wu Changqing glanced at him and said, "Brother Contentment shouldn't like big-footed girls, right?" ”

"What's wrong with big feet?" Yi Zhizhi said: "I am also going to publish an article in the "Xiguan Weekly", calling for the abolition of the bad habit of foot binding. ”

"Don't." Wu Changqing hurriedly said: "As soon as this article is published, contentment will inevitably be pointed out by Qianfu, which can affect Yuanqi's reputation. ”

This is also true, Yi Zhizhi muttered: "Then publish under a pseudonym." ”

Hearing this, Pan Shiming was secretly happy in his heart, that Jin Lanxiang is good at everything, that is, she has been influenced by Xu Yixuan since she was a child, she is not bound to her feet, and she is also pampered at home, depending on her temperament, it seems that there is a drama in this matter! He didn't break it, and said tentatively: "The four major salt merchants in Guangzhou, the Li family, the Xu family, the Jin family, and the Kong family, are you content to see three of them today, do you have a favorite?" ”

Co-authors of the Xu family, the Jin family, and the Kong family are all big salt merchants? It seems that he, the fifth diamond king, is still quite popular in Guangzhou, but after only seeing one side, he let him set up a marriage, which is a bit of child's play, and he groaned slightly, and he was content before he spoke: "This matter has to pay attention to fate, not forced." ”

Fate? What fate? Pan Shiming shook his eyes and said: "Marriage has always been the order of parents, the words of the matchmaker, what is the fate of contentment?" ”

"I made an agreement with my parents that the marriage would be decided by myself." Yi Zhizhi said: "Fate, it's really hard to say, if you take a concubine, love at first sight is fate, if you marry a wife, love over time is fate." ”

"Love over time?" Wu Changqing said with a smile: "It seems that the happy wine of the contentment brother cannot be drunk in three or five or eight years." (To be continued.) )
