Chapter 256 Is it a lot?
Chapter 256 Is it a lot?
Saihan said proudly: "I will use the silk and brocade that your majesty has rewarded me with as a betrothal gift."
"Is it a lot?" Shen Xiaoye felt distressed when she heard it. She had to be rewarded with three cows for investing more than ten pieces of brocade satin.
She said, "Don't tell me the number, go home quickly, or you'll get spanked if you're late."
Saihan shrugged and left, his purpose of showing off to one more person was achieved.
Shen Xiaoye didn't know what he was thinking, otherwise she would never have talked to him for so long.
Unexpectedly, Saihan came to the door early the next morning, and Agula came with him.
As soon as the child saw the Ma Dao Gong Cheng clothes that Zhuang Zhuang was carrying, he liked them and said, "Saihan, you can wear this and go hunting outside the city."
"Buy it if you like it. I want one too." Saihan is rich now.
Agula picked three pieces, "And my Eqige's."
"He won't want to play with us." Poor Aru Khan, his most respected Grand Tutor Aru was also captured by the Great Emperor.
And there will be a ceremony of presenting prisoners in a few days. Haha, it is said that the Grand Tutor will lead that group of high-ranking nobles to dance for the emperor.
The princes who always whipped themselves will eventually face this day.
Whenever Saihan imagined that scene, he wished that time would pass faster.
But he still chose to buy one for Aruh Khan, so that he could wear it when wrestling.
Shen Xiaoye didn't expect that these two people were so receptive. She also reminded them that this kind of tops are usually worn inside.
The two nodded to indicate that they knew, but it was unknown how much they knew.
As expected, Saihan felt that the cloth Shen Xiaoye took out was not soft and delicate.
“The cotton cloth is woven very finely and sells for as much as silk.
I'd better send you to the silk shop to compare again." It doesn't matter whether he buys it or not, but Shen Xiaoye couldn't make him the one he described.
"No, no, I'll buy it from you." During the time that Saihan was wandering around the capital, he found that if he took off his official uniform and wore his own clothes to buy things, some people would look at him with hatred.
The only time he was more casual was when he was with Shen Xiaoye. "We are friends, you have to pay for the meals."
"Okay!" Shen Xiaoye didn't mind adding two more sets of bowls and chopsticks, but she didn't expect that these two big-bellied guys would eat up all the fried pancakes made by her aunt.
Before they left after dinner, Saihan told her the good news: "His Majesty seems to have allowed our tribe and the Yongxie tribe to pay tribute.
Not long ago, I was asked which route from Mobei to the pass was faster, and which one Dada liked more, the horse market or the Huitong Hall. "
"Aunt, please pack some of the fried sesame leaves from last night." Shen Xiaoye was happy about the news.
If Huitongguan could open trade, she would definitely get a spot to participate. You know, the horse markets are all outside the Great Wall, and a trip there would cost quite a lot.
Well, she guessed that Huitongguan would not be open before the college entrance examination in August.
She enthusiastically presented gifts and saw them out the door. When she waved goodbye to the two people in the carriage, another carriage stopped in front of the door.
As soon as the curtain was opened, Mr. Wang San asked, "Did you know I was coming?"
"I don't know." Shen Xiaoye took a deep breath and welcomed him, "Uncle Wang, please come to my house."
Young Master Wang's eyebrows twitched. It seemed that she went to the Imperial College to find Chi'er for something.
It turned out that he learned from the doorman last night that a girl was looking for her nephew, and from her description he guessed it was Shen Xiaoye.
After entering the house, Shen Xiaoye subconsciously wanted to invite him to the guest room at the back, but unexpectedly the other party stepped into the hanging flower gate first and did not treat him as an outsider at all.
In the main room, after both parties took their seats, Mr. Wang San did not beat around the bush and asked, "Do you agree to join us in selling cloth to the northwest?"
"We need to wait until my fourth uncle takes the college entrance examination to decide this. He will be in charge then." After much consideration, Shen Xiaoye decided to cooperate with the Wang family. This would both help to see if the two sides can work together and to expand the market for his own business.
However, she is also a junior, and the communication between them is often not equal.
For example, now, if I just show a little respect, the other party will act like an elder.
"Aren't you going to talk to Brother Chi about this?" Young Master Wang threw away his folding fan, not knowing what she was talking about.
Shen Xiaoye waved outside, and the two brothers Da Niu and Er Niu came in carrying a few pieces of clothing.
She said, "I want to ask Young Master Wang to recommend this to the students in the prison."
When Mr. Wang San saw the various patterns on the back of the clothes, he thought they were quite novel. He walked closer, closed his fan, and then picked up the corner of the clothes, saying with a smile, "If you print the same pattern on the front, it will become a patch.
But this style is quite unique. Bring me ten sets of those with galloping horses for me to wear when playing Cuju."
Hearing this, the two cousins showed joy on their faces, but Shen Xiaoye had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, two or three days later, when Wang Chi was selling Zeyi at the Imperial College like crazy, very few students bought them.
At this point, Shen Xiaoye deduced that most people who bought patterned shirts bought them to use as team uniforms in sports competitions.
And because most of the people who wore it were brave and aggressive young men, this red short-sleeved shirt with printed patterns became popular in a small area for a while.
God knows, she was making underwear.
Well, if things don't go well in one place, then they will. Seeing that things had come to this, Shen Xiaoye decided to let her aunt take charge of the rest after all the cloth was dyed.
There are already people on the market copying this type of clothing, and she can't stop them because it doesn't require any technical skills.
Once the dyed cloth is sold out, the small profit margin and quick turnover is over.
She took Zhuangzhuang and Erniu back to Linghe County, and stopped in the provincial capital on the way to prepare for the appointment with Master Wu Qi.
"Xiao Ye, next time you plan to go out, feel free to call me." Although he was in a hurry and only spent half a day to visit the capital, he was also a kid who had been to Beijing.
At this moment, Xiao Ye took them for a walk in the city and then outside the city, and bought a basket of snacks to eat slowly.
Lin Erniu also followed suit, "And me. I can't pass the exam anyway, so I've decided not to go to the clan school anymore.
I followed my mother around collecting cloth and cotton."
"Why don't you try to pass the examination and become a student?" Shen Xiaoye did not try to persuade him.
Lin Erniu sighed, “I didn’t pass the exam, so I will study for another half a year this year and I won’t take the county exam next year.
Alas, the questions in the county examination seem more difficult than dyeing cloth.
Why not just go home and help my parents farm."
He sighed and grabbed some snacks.
Just as he was about to reach out to grab it for the second time, he saw a few people flash by at the corner of the street and walk quickly towards the dock.
Lin Erniu has good eyesight and recognized him immediately, "Xiao Ye, look who is traveling with Master Wu Qi."
Shen Xiaoye looked in the direction of his finger and saw that it was indeed Master Wu Qi, Zhao Zongqi, and Zhang Hu.
She saw Master Wu Qi boarding the ship and leaving, and thought that the agreement on the fifth day was broken.
But the next day, she still waited outside the city at 9:00 p.m., and a full quarter of an hour later, someone came to tell her: "Master Wu Qi said there is something urgent that you should deal with first.
He gave it to me and asked me to give it to you personally."
Shen Xiaoye took the envelope, quickly glanced through it, and decided to look for the secret.
