Delicate Flower - Chapter 123
[Chapter 123 News]
Yu Yuan’s money is indeed not in vain. When that Dr. Cha came over with the song list that he ordered, he was more than enthusiastic about them. “It has been arranged. After the chorus is over, you will order it.” , and brought in a plate of fresh fruit from outside, saying, “This is a small tribute to you, you eat slowly, I will stand outside the door, if you have anything, just call.”
It should be this tea Doctors are rewarded.
Yu Tang guessed and became more sure of what he was going to do.
She picked the largest plum and asked Shuangtao to hand it to Dr. Cha. She smiled and said, “Don’t leave, I’ll ask you something.”
The Dr. Cha came over immediately, and was seven or eight steps away from her. The place stopped, lowered his head and respectfully said, “What do you want to ask? As long as I know, I will answer whatever you ask. If I don’t know, I will go and ask you.” Very alert.
This may be the reason why this teahouse can become one of the most expensive ones.
Yu Tang pondered in his heart and asked him with a smile, “When I came here, I saw a lot of big boats on the Suzhou River, and I heard people say that these boats are all from Ningbo, and they are loaded with imported goods, so do you know where they sell imported goods? Is it the goods?”
Dr. Cha listened to his spirits, and hurriedly said, “Miss asking me this is even asking the right person. There are no shops in Suzhou City that I don’t know about. When you came, you saw this shop in front of our teahouse. Is there a street? It’s called Suhe Street. This street has the most teahouses, restaurants and restaurants. When you go out from our teahouse and turn left, there is an alley. This alley also sells dim sum and fruit. Yes. Just keep moving forward, and after this alley is finished, it is another street, and on that street, all the goods sold are imported…”
He talked eloquently, and he could see that he was serious about Suzhou City. is very familiar.
Yu Tang also put a sentence into a sentence, and quickly learned where those who do business at sea like to stay, how the fleet goes to sea, and how to announce the news.
Xiang Shi listened beside him and nodded secretly.
Before Yu Yuan praised Yu Tang for being smart and capable, she didn’t take it seriously. After all, based on her experience, she had seen too many capable women, such as Mrs. Wei, her stepmother, and those in-laws of her stepmother’s parents. It’s really rare to see Yu Tang like this.
Yu Tang now not only manages a farm, looks at accounts and so on, but is like a man, knows how to deal with people outside, and how to quietly ask what he wants.
Not to mention the Xiang family, even Xia Pinggui and Xia Lian were also very surprised.
Xia Pinggui thought, it’s
no wonder that the second master of the owner wants to recruit the eldest lady, the eldest lady is someone who can keep the family business.
As for Xia Lian, she is fortunate that Xiangshi has such a sister-in-law. In the future, this little sister-in-law will not only not drag Xiangshi’s hind legs, but can also give Xiangshi advice and help Xiangshi when something happens.
Afterwards, the two were more respectful towards Yu Tang, of course, that was another story.
Yu Tang got the information he needed, and rewarded Dr. Cha with a handful of copper coins. After sending Dr. Cha out the door, he smiled wryly and said to Yu Yuan, “It seems that we have gone to the wrong place.”
From the mouth of Dr. Cha , Those who do business at sea or run ships to Ningbo to pull goods, like to rest in another restaurant called Ping’an on the dock, and usually exchange news there.
Yu Yuan’s heart was wide and he said with a smile, “If we didn’t come to this restaurant, we wouldn’t be able to inquire about this news. Besides, what kind of Ping An restaurant, it’s a place where coolies drink, I can’t take you two women to the restaurant for dinner. Right?”
Most of the women who go in and out of such places are women in the world or in brothels, and others won’t respect them when they see them.
Mrs. Xiang nodded again and again and said with a smile, “Your brother is right. Although we went to the wrong place, we got to know each other. After we go back, tell your mother-in-law and aunt. If there is a chance, let them also come and see. .”
Yu Tang felt that their stay was too short, for fear that they would not find a chance to talk to Jiang Ling.
However, I can’t eat hot dumplings in a hurry, so I have to do everything step by step. Since I came to listen to the music, then listen to the music well.
Yu Tang, Xiang Shi and Yu Yuan spent the morning in the teahouse, and then heard some news about the Song family from Dr. Cha.
It turned out that the Song family began to build ships in Taihu Lake when they returned to Suzhou City, and the Song family sold both mulberry trees in Huzhou for this reason.
The Song family started from silk in the early years. At this time, it was when they were growing mulberries and raising silkworms. The Song family was so fundamentally shaken that the price paid was very high.
Yu Yuan was stunned, and asked Dr. Cha, “Then, the older generation of their family also agrees?”
The Dr. Cha sighed, “What can we do if we don’t agree? I only told you that you are from other places. Song family, long ago It’s not the Song family anymore. Last year, the white silk that their family offered to the inner court was almost not selected, and they had to go through the path of a relative of their family to barely pass the test. Don’t you know, the business of the inner court is also not selected. It’s not that easy to do, and they have to re-elect every three years. This time they found the right person, and they were lucky. What about next time? Are they willing to help? Can the helper be able to speak? Good talk!”
Looking for help from relatives?
Are you looking for the Pei family?
Yu Tang thought about it, and then heard that Dr. Cha continued, “The people who were born into the Song family didn’t find their own reasons, they just said that someone was embarrassing their family. I think, if this Song family continues like this, I’m afraid it will lose!” I
didn’t expect this Doctor Cha to have such insight!
Yu Tang was in awe.
It seems that the Song family is slowly declining like this.
But Yu Yuan didn’t know, and thought that Dr. Cha was alarmist, and said, “How do you say this?”
That Dr. Cha frowned and said, “There are a lot of people doing business in the inner court in Suzhou, but which one is making money? Those big eunuchs who honor the twenty-four yamen of the inner court are not enough, not to mention Caoyun and the Ministry of Household. , The Ministry of Industry is a big yamen. But you have a reputation and style as a royal businessman. Everyone knows that you can deal with people in the palace. When you go out, ordinary people will give you a bit of face. This is money that money can buy. Can you get it? And since you can pay tribute to your things, it must be the best thing in the world. Don’t everyone come to your house to buy something? If you lose this business, wouldn’t you tell others about your family? No, there is no one in the inner court to support your family, your family is outdated, and this wall has to be pushed by everyone. It is a ghost if the family business is not defeated!
Even a doctor of tea knows the truth. , it makes no sense that the Song family doesn’t know. Is
there any secret behind the Song family’s ability to make such a choice?
Could it be related to the Pei family’s change?
However, before the Pei family brothers became officials, the Song family had already started to be the inner court. Now that you have a business, you should have your own way, right?
Yu Tang was puzzled, so she didn’t think about it, and asked Dr. Cha tentatively, “I heard that there is a family named Jiang in your Suzhou city, who wants to do business by sea, and they are going to be sold everywhere. Is this family reliable or not?
”
Then Dr. Cha pouted and said, “So you all know it!
Their family used to run boats, that is, imported goods from Ningbo to Suzhou. They may have made some money in the past few years, but they want to make a big sum of money.
We Suzhou people are waiting to see their jokes!
Yu Tang was at a loss. In her previous life
,
she heard Lin say that as long as the Jiang family wants to leave the boat, everyone who breaks their head will have to participate. It can be
seen that this is another thing that is exaggerated after success.
Then this When they go to buy shares, isn’t it very simple.
Yu Tang’s mind suddenly becomes alive.
She asks Dr. Cha, “Do you know where the Jiang family lives?
”
Dr. Cha gave Yu Tang a quick glance, but said to Yu Yuan, “Their family lives in Dongjiang Lane not far from here, but this person is really unreliable, vulgar and stingy, and has fought with him. People who deal with him say that he is an ‘iron rooster’, if you really want to do business with their family, you have to keep your eyes open and be careful not to be deceived by him.”
Although Yu Yuan didn’t know how Yu Tang knew about the Jiang family, but At this time, he had to speak for Yu Tang no matter what.
He smiled to Yu Tang and said, “We also heard about it on the road, and we were a little curious, so let’s ask.”
Dr. Cha breathed a sigh of relief and said, “The reputation of the Jiang family is not very good, so be careful. Wrong.”
Yu Yuan thanked him, and it just so happened that they had finished singing the commentary, and Dr. Cha was going to bring that character up to ask them for a reward, so the topic was stopped and no one talked about it again.
After coming out of the tea house, Yu Yuan went to another famous restaurant for lunch, and Yu Tang decided to visit Jiang’s house.
She told Yu Yuan, “I heard what the inn’s shop assistant said yesterday. Besides, everything is ‘hearing is false, seeing is believing’, anyway, we are here to inquire about these things, no matter what others say, go and see first Look, nothing can be done in one go.”
Yu Yuan and Xiang Shi both agreed, and Yu Yuan added, “It’s just that you are lucky, you are also staying in a hotel, we didn’t pay attention to this yesterday. Yu Tang was ashamed, pulling Yu Yuan to change the subject with a guilty conscience,
”
Should we inquire more about the Jiang family’s stock raising? How much is a share? Is it just silver or can I buy shares with things? When are their family going to go overseas?” Who do you want on the boat?”
“Yes, yes!” Yu Yuan said hurriedly.
Xiang Shi covered his mouth and smiled beside him, and said, “Amei, you are really a shameless woman. You see the same thing, your brother doesn’t know anything, but you have inquired clearly. I came here before. At that time, I was still thinking, since you guys are going to do this business, I should accompany you to meet the world, and now it seems that you may really be able to do this. ”
Most of the people who can make Xiang Shi claim a share are her own money!
Yu Tang was very surprised, not only grateful for Xiang’s trust in her, but also worried that the failure of the Jiang family this time would be a drag on Xiang’s.
After all, the news she heard in her previous life doesn’t seem to be so accurate now.
