On the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month in the seventh year of Shenwu, it snowed for the first time.

It snowed all night and woke up early. Jiang Ning gave up the idea of ​​running. The bed was warm and he slept for a while without realizing it. When he got up, he felt guilty again, thinking that he could not go on like this and couldn't find the secrets of martial arts.

That’s it, are you still sleeping in?

After getting up early and having dinner, Wang Ruoyan put on a long red brocade coat, a cotton cloak on the outside, and a hand stove in her hand. The weather was only two or three degrees, and it was indeed very cold. There was already a small child on the carriage.

After turning on the stove, the two got into the carriage and began their "routine business."

"Today we are going to the Han family..." On the carriage, Wang Ruoyan looked at Jiang Ning who was sitting in front of him and said.

"Is the relationship good or bad?" Jiang Ning asked directly.

Wang Ruoyan nodded: "It's neither good nor bad. But a month ago, I had some business with the Han family, but we couldn't reach an agreement because of the price issue. But the deal was not done in a righteous way, and we might have to cooperate in the future, so I walked around.

It doesn’t hurt either.”

"Understood." Jiang Ning nodded.

"I went to Han's house today. It should be almost done. After twenty-three, the family will hold a family banquet when they come. First, we sit at each other's houses. Naturally, we have to call the shopkeeper. Then there will be another round of pleasantries.

, it’s hard for my husband.” Wang Ruoyan was a little apologetic.

, in her heart, Jiang Ning is a scholar after all, and what scholars hate the most is this kind of contact in the shopping mall. She originally thought that Jiang Ning would be able to read and write poetry and articles when she married into the Wang family, and would not be distracted by these trivial things in the shopping mall.

Annoying, she also tried hard to do so.

Things in the shopping mall are rarely mentioned at home. Firstly, Jiang Ning doesn’t understand, and secondly, he doesn’t want him to be affected by it. Since the second day of the twelfth lunar month, he has started to go to various businesses for business trips. Wang Ruoyan’s business only involves

I have been in Hangzhou for more than ten days in a row, and it has been like this every day. Although sometimes I go back early or late, talking and laughing in the house, I never feel Jiang Ning's boredom and dissatisfaction, but as far as Wang Ruoyan is concerned, there is still some

Guilty.

"Well, let's keep everything as usual." Jiang Ning smiled slightly. He could easily guess what Wang Ruoyan was thinking at this moment. This kind of thing happened every day before, and now it is naturally easy for him. But for business matters,

Just listening, no

In any discussion or speech, people of similar age to him also know his talents. Whether you believe it or not, after several conversations, Jiang Ning's indifference can be easily overcome even if he is making things difficult.

After untying it, nothing went wrong.

"I know there is a pastry shop here. If you come back early, you can try it." Jiang Ning saw the Zuixianju outside the curtain and said to Wang Ruoyan.

"Well, it should be over before lunch. You might as well try it. If it's true as my husband said, bring some back to Yue Ya and Xing'er so that they won't find out and complain." Wang Ruoyan smiled and nodded.

The Han family is not too far from the Wang family, but the snow has just stopped, the temperature is low, and there is already a thick layer of snow on the ground, making it not very convenient to walk.

Turning around Confucius Street, a figure appeared in Jiang Ning's eyes, but he was standing alone at the street entrance, rubbing his little red hands that had been frozen. In front of him was a wooden four-wheel cart with shelves and a stove.

There is no one around the hot pot bowl.

The carriage turned around and the man disappeared behind the car, but Jiang Ning was a little confused. He didn't know what the problem was. After thinking about it, he had already arrived at the door of Han's house.

The doorstep had been handed over the day before yesterday, and the Han family knew that Wang Ruoyan was coming. Although the business had not been concluded, the Wang family was still one of the top silk merchants in Hangzhou, and the Han family certainly valued it.

There was a man standing at the door. He was a little thin, but his eyes were bright.

"Ruoyan has met Uncle Han." Wang Ruoyan and Jiang Ning got out of the car and gave the man a slight blessing.

"Haha, it's enough to send a servant for such a small matter. Yan'er's niece even comes to do it in person. I'm really flattered." The man chuckled.

Wang Ruoyan smiled and said: "No, this is my niece's responsibility. I should do it myself, let alone coming to Uncle Han's house."

The man in front of him, according to Wang Ruoyan's previous introduction, should be the head of the Han family, Han Yuchong.

The Han family's business is not small, but there is still a gap compared with the Wang family. However, the Han family has its own raw silk breeding technology. The raw silk produced by the raw silk breeding factories in Jinzhou and Pinghu is better than ordinary raw silk.

It needs to be 30% finer. The cloth and silk weaved have a delicate luster. This is the only business in Hangzhou. A few months ago, Wang Ruoyan wanted to cooperate with him and used raw silk to improve his own craftsmanship. However, the price was outstripped by the Yang family.

Cut off.

There are two heads of the Han family, one is Han Yuchong, and the other is his twin brother, Han Yurong. Although they are twins, one of the brothers is thin and the other is fat. These two brothers are cautious.

It was this kind of caution that allowed them to overcome many difficulties and build the family business they have today.

"This is Jiang Ning and Jiang Zichuan?" Han Yuchong looked at Jiang Ning and said with a smile.

Jiang Ning cupped his hands and said, "That's right."

"Haha, Quanzi is not talented, but I heard that Zichuan is famous. When I came to the house today, Quanzi must also have a lot of questions that he would like to ask for advice. Haha..."

"Thanks to Uncle Han for your support, I don't dare to be famous. I have only read a few books and amused myself..."

Jiang Ning laughed and resolved the embarrassment, but the more he acted like this, the more uncomfortable Wang Ruoyan felt.

When they arrived at the house, Wang Ruoyan was taken away by Han Yurong's daughter to talk, but Jiang Yuan could only sit in the hall.

The greetings were general, and Han Yurong went out to deal with something unknown. The only ones who happened to be here were a few shopkeepers and Han Yuchong and his son.

"I heard that Brother Zichuan's "Spring River with Flowers and Moonlight Night" was praised by a great scholar in Hangzhou. After reading it, I was really enlightened and benefited a lot..." A young man wearing a turban on his head and a long white cotton shirt said with a smile.

This man was Han Yuchong's only son, Han Jiye. He was somewhat talented, but he was far behind Kong Chengyun and Chen Qinian.

Jiang Ning smiled and said: "I'm ashamed, I'm just a fool, not worth mentioning. Brother Jiye is young, not only talented and knowledgeable, but also very knowledgeable in the business. Among our generation, he is one of the few...

"

When Han Jiye heard this, he was secretly happy in his heart and said: "Where is it? I know little about business. So far, I only have three or five stores in my hands. I can barely maintain it. I feel ashamed."

"Hey, I'm kidding, I'm kidding, let alone three or five stores, even if I put one store in my hand, I'm afraid I'll have to pack up and leave within half a month. Brother Jiye can actually maintain three or five stores at the same time. This

If it still doesn't work, then

I really don’t know what to do. Hey, brother Jiye, who is both civilized and military, is still so humble. Compared with those people outside who only know the flowers before the moon and under the moon, I don’t know how smart he is..." Jiang Ning started to speak.

, but they are one set after another.

Han Jiye's heart was filled with excitement and he sat up straight unconsciously. He was also quite confident about his honor.

"That's natural. We, Mr. Han, are rare business wizards. It's better than some aristocratic families where only their daughters can show off."

"This is..."

"Oh, this is shopkeeper Yu from Jinzhou..."

"Jinzhou? Isn't the Han family's business in Yichuan?"
