Seeing Tan Chun entering the room gracefully with a fur hat and foxtail scarf, the secretary had already run over and clung to Jin Chuaner.
"Sister Jinchuaner, this fur hat and scarf were made by Uncle Feng?"
"That's natural. Zhuangzi and the master from the north both sent a lot of fox furs back from Yulin. The master chose the ones with the brightest fur and put on this fur hat and scarf. He said that the third girl is the most suitable for this.
Yes..." Jin Chuan'er said calmly.
This servant is also a shrewd and obedient character who follows her master. She is definitely looking for something to talk to.
"Does sister know what Uncle Feng has given to the house?" The secretary's eyes were bright. Although he was a few years younger than Jin Chuan'er and about the same age as Yu Chuan'er, his thoughts were not simple.
"I sent a lot of things to the house, including bearskin, bear paws, old ginseng and deer antlers, and various medicinal materials. They are all genuine and good. I have put a lot of thought into them." Jin Chuaner naturally understood what Shishu wanted.
What are you looking for? His face remains unchanged and he smiles sweetly.
If you want to spy on this, how is that possible? Even Yuchuan'er and Xiangling don't know what they have prepared and who they have given it to.
Although the uncle didn't say anything, how could someone like Jin Chuaner not know the stakes involved? If we really fail to grasp the heat on this issue, there will be big trouble.
The waiter frowned slightly.
This Jin Chuan'er is also very cunning and difficult to deal with. What she said was quite reasonable, but Shishu still felt that there was a lot hidden in these words, but as a maid, she could only ask to this extent.
, can you still ask others if they have given anything to other girls, and what kind of things they have given?
"Then my girl is really a gift from Uncle Feng?" The servant secretary is still a little unwilling to give up, but this uncle Feng has organized the people well. Jin Chuaner has only been in Feng Mansion for a few days, and he is so determined.
I don’t know what benefits were promised.
"Of course it is, Shishu. I haven't seen the quality of this fur. Even in the fur shops in the capital city that specialize in Liaodong furs, it is rare to find such things." Jin Chuaner puffed up her chest proudly, "
I definitely didn’t come to other people’s homes.”
The servant blinked his eyes, no one else had it? Or none of the other girls? Did they all have this firefox fur hat and scarf, or nothing at all?
Naturally, Jin Chuaner would not give the other party another chance. She smiled and patted Shi Shu's hand: "Shi Shu, I'm leaving first. I have to go to my wife's place. You can come and sit there more tomorrow...
…”
Seeing Jin Chuan'er twisting around and disappearing, Shi Shu couldn't help but stamp his feet, shrugged his nose, and said angrily: "Fox!"
Feng Ziying naturally didn't know that Jin Chuan'er could complete the task so well. In fact, he trusted Jin Chuan'er's emotional intelligence and skills. This girl had left a deep impression on him in the past few months. Xiang Ling and Yun Shang were very good at this shoe.
They are far inferior to her. I have to admit that in addition to her own talent, she has indeed developed it after following Mrs. Wang for several years.
Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng had something to say to him, but they were stunned to hold him back and ask for food.
"Hey, Da Lang, you are a noble man and have many things to do. Is it so difficult to have a meal in our house?" Wang Xifeng was not as polite as Jia Lian. Because she was a woman, she had no scruples in what she said, "Qian Ming Isn’t it true that your son can’t even see our home?”
"Second sister-in-law, you are just saying this to yourself. My younger brother has never said it." Feng Ziying really didn't have much to do to deal with a woman like Wang Xifeng who was shameless, thick-skinned, and bold. She had to put her hands on her hips. If I hold you back with my chest out, why should I just rush forward with my eyes closed?
"Then let's just have a simple meal in our courtyard today. Your second brother Lian and I have something to talk to you about. If there are no outsiders, if you really want to get drunk, just let Ping'er wait for you for a while."
This Wang Xifeng's coquettishness is really too much for people to bear. Why wait for her again? Feng Ziying only thinks that this woman speaks too hotly. Although Ping'er blushes like fire, even Jia Lian can't help but frown.
"Well, second sister-in-law, we must speak conscientiously. Don't talk nonsense like this and ruin people's reputation." Feng Ziying quickly handed over her hand.
"Then we'll stay and eat before leaving. Anyway, Jin Chuan'er and the other two sisters have to eat at the house before leaving." Wang Xifeng put her hands on her hips arrogantly and raised her eyebrows, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, this pot of wine won't kill anyone." .”
As a last resort, Feng Ziying had no choice but to stay.
The purpose of Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng was very simple, they just fell in love with the theater.
The theater has been progressing very smoothly in the past few months. The place was successfully acquired and almost cleaned up. Planning for restoration has begun. Several families have invested in the theater. Liu Xianglian burst out with great enthusiasm and began to look for people. personnel, form a team.
"Second brother Lian, it's not that I haven't considered you, but you also know that in this theater, we only contribute money to hold shares, and basically no one else participates. The Xue family is an imperial businessman, so it doesn't matter if they support it. , but if you want to come, what should you do? Are you going to stand in the theater all day long and imitate Brother Liu's busy schedule? "
Jia Lian remained silent, and Wang Xifeng also had a sullen face, but Ping'er was very understanding and carefully poured wine for everyone.
"With this kind of business, if you can make a lot of money in one go, don't even think about it. In the first two years, you may have to lose your reputation. The purpose is to have a long-term future and make some connections. Brother Liu doesn't care. Yes, he already likes this. His parents are gone, and his family can’t compare with the likes of you and me, who are a little bit inferior, so it’s suitable, but it’s not suitable for you and me.”
Feng Ziying drank wine and smacked her lips, enjoying herself.
It can be seen from the attitudes of the two father-in-law that they don't particularly want to get involved in this. After all, Jia Lian also has the official status of a fifth-rank scholar, and he is the eldest son of the Rongguo Mansion. I still need face, but I don’t want to pay a large sum of money to acquire shares.
So Jia Lian knew from the beginning that he didn't show much interest, but now he used this as an excuse. In fact, he wanted Feng Ziying to find other ways to make a living for him.
Who wouldn't be happy if you could earn two to thirty thousand taels of silver in a year and a half in a construction business like last year?
It's just that from last year to this year, Feng Ziying was busy with the Autumn and Spring Festivals, so she had no energy to care about other things. Even the theater business was figured out by Liu Xianglian herself, and Feng Ziying only helped with the planning.
Jia Lian didn't know the whole story, so he had no intention of participating from the beginning, but now Sister Feng was not happy. He saw that even Xue Dashan was wandering around the theater all day long to help with the management.
He couldn't help, at least they were doing enough, but he was standing aside, which always felt uncomfortable, so when Sister Feng shouted that he must bring Feng Ziying in to plan some business, he remained silent.
This past year, he had been idle and bored at home. When he recalled the beautiful scenes last year, he was still very fond of it. Naturally, he also expected Feng Ziying to come up with ideas again.
"Da Lang, since this matter is not successful, you have to help us and help your second brother Lian find something to do. You are almost busy now. The things in the Hanlin Academy are just reading.
"Xianshu, your family is making a good living. I heard that there are more than a dozen trucks delivering goods to your house..." Wang Xifeng's words were full of envy, "It's better to be an official outside."
"I wonder what kind of business my second sister-in-law wants to do?" Seeing Jia Lian frowning, but Wang Xifeng looking eager to give it a try, Feng Ziying was also curious, how could this woman be so confident that she wanted to earn money that was so easy to earn?
"Dalang, we are one family and don't talk about two families. Your father is now in charge of dozens of forts in Yulin Town. He is doing business with the Tatars both inside and outside the wall. How profitable is this kind of business? Don't you know?
Know?"
Wang Xifeng also gave up and drank a few sips of wine. Once this woman got bolder, she would be more presumptuous than a man. The ground dragon was so hot that the clothes around her neck were slightly open. The tender and plump pink neck was round and slender, with bright red
A pair of plump bulges in the satin coat almost burst out of the clothes, so Feng Ziying had to deliberately avoid looking at her.
"Second sister-in-law, you know this, you can make money, but do you know who is doing this? How much does it cost?" Feng Ziying was surprised.
The mutual trade between the border areas and the Tatars was customized by the imperial court. There are several merchants in each town. The few merchants identified are all well-established characters. They are adjusted every few years, and every household is registered with the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Damn, although these are not imperial merchants, in terms of power and strength, they are nowhere near as powerful as the Xue family and other outdated imperial merchants.
Feng Ziying was surprised that Wang Xifeng actually wanted to have such an idea.
Basically, these merchants have been doing this for many years. To put it bluntly, they can easily come up with three to five to five million taels of cash. If they need it urgently, they can make up one tael in ten and a half months.
A million taels of silver is not a problem. Otherwise, do you think that when the household department and the inner treasury are often empty, how can the imperial court temporarily support and operate? In an emergency, it is not necessary to rely on such wealthy merchants and Jiangnan salt merchants.
Where can I find a way to borrow money?
Whether my father is the commander-in-chief of Datong or the commander-in-chief of Yulin, he has to deal with these merchants, and he is naturally familiar with them. Otherwise, why would Feng Ziying dare to go to the Shanshan Guild Hall in Linqing? It doesn't matter at all, people will ignore you
?
Although these merchants are powerful, they are also a mixed bag of dragons and snakes. This is why they have to be re-established every few years. In addition, there are always some blind wealthy merchants who want to die every now and then, but this is still unstoppable.
More people came one after another to squeeze in.
How dare you, Wang Xifeng and He De, to enter into such a business idea? Do you have the strength? Just rely on Wang Ziteng to become the governor of Xuanda? This cannot be done by relying on connections alone.
Wang Xifeng smiled mysteriously, picked up the wine cup and took a sip: "Brother Keng, business is not done by humans? If they can do it, our family can't do it? Who hasn't been here since the first time?"
