He Ruhui was in a good mood and said with a smile: "This matter has been settled. Tomorrow...hey, tomorrow brother Xue Shi will go to my house to go through some procedures. These two thousand brothers need 40,000 sets of autumn clothes. The clothes only need to protect against the cold.
Just make it sturdy. I'll pick up the specific styles from the house tomorrow. This time, I've allocated 220,000 taels of silver specifically for the purchase of autumn clothes. Brother Xue Shi can take someone to collect the money order tomorrow."
Xue Poye knew that it was a matter of collecting the banknotes tomorrow, and that of delivering the treasures, so he nodded and said, "Okay, Poye will go to the mansion tomorrow to go through the formalities."
"Brother Xue Shi also knows that under normal circumstances, the government pays the money on sight, and sometimes it even takes a while." He Ruhui said favorably: "But there are no such troubles between me and Brother Xue Shi.
, you can go and get the money first, you can calculate how much money you need first, and then just take it."
Xue Poye cursed in his heart: "Damn it, if you don't give me money, how can I do things? I'm not from the Lu family, and I don't have that much free money." Hearing He Ruhui say that he needs to calculate costs,
He even sneered in his heart. He had just reported the amount of silver purchased, and now he was talking about calculating the cost. In the final analysis, the implication was that not all of the two hundred and twenty thousand taels of silver were given to you, Xue Poye.
You have to leave a kickback.
Although Xue Poye didn't know much about the autumn clothes of the army, he did know about the popular autumn clothes on the market. It goes without saying that the furs and velvets of wealthy families are the same. The autumn clothes worn by ordinary people can actually be used in both autumn and winter. Da Chu
There is a popular "double-layer cotton shirt". You can remove one layer in autumn and wear both layers in winter. The clothes are strong and durable. This is not expensive. You can get it for about 20 taels of silver with slightly better quality. I feel that
It is also estimated that even if there are some other things sewn on the autumn clothes of the army, the price will not be more than three taels of silver a piece, and if purchased in large quantities, the price will definitely be much lower. After all, this is a huge profit.
business.
Of course, Xue Poye knew that all the money could not belong to him alone. He laughed and said: "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely calculate this account carefully, and the excess will be handed over to Brother Shi for proper handling."
"That's good, that's good!" He Ruhui nodded with satisfaction.
However, Xue Poye immediately thought of a tricky thing. The business is going well, but this large amount of autumn clothes requires a lot of silk, but the silk business in Hangzhou is in the hands of the Lu family, even if there are some idle merchants
, Firstly, it may not be possible to supply such a large amount of silk cloth. Secondly, even if it is really capable of supplying, the Lu family will definitely intervene. As the boss of the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce, if the Lu family cannot handle such a large business, other merchants may not have the courage to rush for it.
Do.
The production and sales of silk fabrics in Dachu were probably concentrated in the three states in the south of the Yangtze River. Hangzhou was owned by the Lu family and Yangzhou was owned by the Fang family. However, it is not known whether Suzhou was also controlled by the Fang and Lu families.
Mei Niang seemed to see through Xue Poye's worries, and chuckled: "Is shopkeeper Xue in trouble? You took away the business, and the Lu family is not happy. If you want to find silk cloth, you have to leave Hangzhou."
Go find it."
Xue Poye really felt that this woman was not ordinary shrewd. Naturally, she could not show weakness at this time and remained calm: "Xue will naturally handle the matter well. Sister Mei Niang doesn't have to worry."
He Ruhui remained calm and said calmly: "The Lu family is not the only one in the world who can do business."
Mei Niang smiled and seemed to be reminding: "Yes, yes, the Lu family is just dominating in Hangzhou. When it comes to Suzhou's territory, it is the Qiao family that has the final say."
Xue Poye was shocked. It seemed that Suzhou was not controlled by the Fang and Lu families. It seemed that there was a Qiao family in control. He felt a little relieved. In any case, he was going to Suzhou for this trip.
Xue Poye toasted He Ruhui with a toast, and then said: "Brother Shi has entrusted this matter to Poye. Poye must have thought very hard and lived up to his trust. But if he wants to travel, I'm afraid the restaurant won't be able to take care of him.
Brother, you might as well take care of me and thank me here tonight." Speaking of which, he was really worried that the Lu family would do something wrong while he was away.
He Ruhui smiled and said leisurely: "I have a share in Han Garden, so I will naturally take good care of it."
This seemed to be a reminder to Xue Poye. Everyone laughed tacitly again. After talking about the business, Xue Poye had no intention of leaving the romance behind. After chatting for a while, he said goodbye and left, agreeing to go to the government office the next day to complete the formalities.
Riding the golden lion, Xue Poye let the breeze blow on his body, feeling indescribably happy. Regardless of whether it was ordered by Lao Tan or not, as long as he could earn money, Xue Poye was happy. What was even more happy was that through whatever
Thanks to the relationship between the Confucian Society and the Confucian Society, the Lu family did not get this lucrative business, but instead benefited themselves.
The shadow moon is shining, the weather is extremely good tonight, and the sky is evenly filled with sparkling stars.
It's strange to say that while riding leisurely on the horse, I thought of Xiao Suzhen, and even more that Xiao's mansion was not far from here. I reined in the horse, thought about it, and shook my head first: "***, go home and sleep.
Don't go and get beaten out by that old antique." He pulled the reins to the right. After walking a few steps, he reined in the horse again and said to himself: "I'm afraid he'll be a bear, so I won't go through the main entrance. I'm a man.
If you can bend and stretch, let's see if there is a place to get in." After hesitating for a while, his heart suddenly changed. He was in a good mood today, so his blood was a little boiling. He turned the horse's head and galloped towards the Xiao Mansion Pegasus.
There are many bamboo shadows. As the breeze blows, the bamboo forest makes rustling sounds, as if dancing and singing in the night wind. The water waves in the pool reflect the bright moon and stars. As the water ripples, the moon and stars seem to be joyful inside.
Playing on the ground and in the water.
There were still lights flashing in twos and threes inside Xiao Mansion. Xue Poye had never felt so aggrieved. The door of Xiao Mansion was closed tightly. I am afraid not even a fly could get in through the front door, let alone such a handsome and tall man like himself.
living person.
It seems that old guy Xiao is really worried that some unscrupulous disciples will climb over the wall and enter the courtyard to harass his precious daughter. The story of the night party of talented and beautiful ladies is passed down in every dynasty and every generation. Therefore, the courtyard wall of Xiao Mansion is extremely high and smooth.
There's really no way to get in.
Xue Poye spent a long time on tiptoe, but couldn't find a suitable place to change the courtyard. When he moved to the back of Xiao Mansion, he almost gave up. He touched the smooth wall and sighed in his heart: "Suzhen, Suzhen,
It seems that we are destined to be together." The previously happy mood suddenly became a little depressed.
Smelling the faint fragrance in the wind, Xue Poye shook his head and was about to leave. He only took two steps and suddenly touched the cold blade on his waist. His mind suddenly jumped and an idea came to his mind. He looked around and saw the moon.
The color is dim, the bamboo shadows are whirling, and there is not a single figure. He twitches the cold blade, walks lightly to the wall, pokes out the cold blade and pierces the wall. This solid wall is like tofu, and the cold blade easily breaks a hole in it.
.
"Hanren! Hanren!"
I tried my feet, and found that there was just enough room for my feet. I was so excited that I kicked my feet up, holding the cold blade on it, and dug two more holes. I dug like this, and in just a moment, I climbed up to the top of the wall.
Most of the Xiao Mansion was already dark, with a faint fire glowing in the west. Not far behind the wall, there was a room with lights on, but I didn't know whose residence it was.
I carefully slid down from the wall. It was very soft at the foot, but the ground was covered with lush green grass. There were heavy shadows of trees all around, exuding an elegant fragrance. The leaves of these trees were huge, like cattail fans. After a closer look, I saw that
Now the courtyard is full of plantains.
Xue Poye felt in his heart. Last time he entered Xiao's house, there were few banana trees. He only saw a banana forest at the back window of Xiao Suzhen's house. Could it be that he was behind Xiao Suzhen's house now?
Damn it, this is such a coincidence. Xue Poye couldn't help but his heart was pounding. If this was really the case, it seemed that God was also helping.
Xue Poye suddenly felt very excited. He had seen ancient talents climb over the wall to date a beautiful woman. Although it was not a date, it felt great. He put away the cold blade and tiptoed through the banana forest. Before
Using the light of the hut as the coordinates, I slowly approached it.
He was worried that Mr. Xiao Moting was there, so he walked extremely carefully. If he was really discovered and the deans of the Xiao Mansion came to kill him, he would be really embarrassed.
It will be beautiful to go to the courtyard under the moon. If you don't catch it, you are a talented and beautiful woman. If you catch it, you are a thief.
So Xue Poye is very careful, very careful!
Approaching the hut, Xue Poye took a deep breath. There are always so many coincidences in this world, so many beautiful stories have been created. Although the front of the house cannot be seen, Xue Poye is extremely sure.
This small room was Xiao Suzhen's yard, and he came to the back of the boudoir.
Although Xue Poye is not a person who is prone to emotional ups and downs, he is still extremely excited at this moment. Of course, after being excited, it is a very exciting feeling.
Through the window paper, the firelight inside is still there. I wonder what Qiannizi is doing? Is it possible that she is watching it under the lamp? She is really a good girl who loves to learn.
Approaching the window, Xue Poye calmed down and felt the atmosphere in the room. By chance, he heard the soft "squeak" sound of the door opening, and then the door was gently closed again.dd
