Wang Rong He was also surprised by her mother's dowry, but she didn't think much about it. However, he didn't know that his father had put some of the husband and wife's property into Zhang's dowry before her new wife entered the house, so that he could use it as her dowry in the future.
After Wang Rong and the manager of the store, the focus of the merchant ship's purchase overseas was changed from finished to semi-finished goods. Wang Rong and another craftsman, who came from overseas, had their precious fur processed and then sold again, at a much lower risk. Wang Rong didn't have a boat with her. Her uncle was now collecting seafood on the coast, and once he had collected enough, he would ship it to Beijing. Quanzhou had been the largest port of passage for goods from the west during the previous dynasty. Although it was no longer as prosperous as it had been when they went out to sea, it seemed to have become a tacit understanding.
If Quanzhou's boat entered the capital, then it meant that there was something new entering the capital.
”Is Second Miss in good health?” After tidying up the account book, Wang Rong asked. A few days ago, Wang Zhixi was a little cold, and she laid down sick for a few days. The second young lady was sick, and had a deep affection for her. Wang Rong He wanted to visit her, but after one visit, Wang Zhixi asked someone to tell him that they were afraid that she would pass the message to his big sister, so they did not invite him in. Could it be that Wang Rong was going to shut the door again and again? Thus, Wang Rong He also let the little girl go by to ask her if she was willing to go.
”It should be ready. I haven't smelled any medicine cooking smell for the past two days, but I still need to rest for a few more days, so I didn't go out.” No disease.
”Then go and report this to Grandmother. I'll be out in the afternoon.” Wang Rong She said.
Fortunately, her grandmother had been at Yu Yao when she was young, and the people had opened their doors to the public, allowing the young ladies to leave as well. Her grandmother knew Wang Rong's personality, and knew her rules and regulations, so she didn't make much of a fuss over her. After all, girls didn't have to be married off to have a few years of leisurely living at home.
Wang Rong was wearing men's clothing when she went out, she had once ridiculed the fact that the ancient men were simply stupid, they were brothers when they were dressed in men's clothes, you didn't see her drawing those fine eyebrows, those bulging breasts, that short, ah, that short man, not to mention that he was malnourished, that short man had many holes in his earlobes, which were also places that were often exposed.
Her skin was painted bronze, her ears were blocked with powder. Her eyebrows were drawn, her chest was tight with cloth, her boots were thickened to the base, and she was wearing a round collar. She turned around in front of the bronze mirror, threw back her hair band in satisfaction, and sang in a drawl, ”I was a boy, not a pretty girl.
”If young lady goes out dressed in men's clothes and says that she's the Fourth Young Master of the Wang Qianhu of Imperial Guard, how would others believe her?” said the nurse.
The two girls both went there and dressed up as men. After going there a few times, they still had some experience in dressing up. Sometimes, they even discussed how they could be more like men.
The servant prepared the carriage and waited at the second door. When the wet nurse saw that no one was around, she waved her hand and quickly ran off with the little girl. They waited for the carriage to catch their breath before leaving.
Wang Rong's shop was on the Front Gate Street, and all of them belonged to her. The rest were rented out by her, and only one of them was left for her to change into a shop.
Black flat door surface, the golden paint writes the two words distant friends, with friends from far away meaning, indistinctly pointed out that I have far things. In the center of the room was a counter. There were curtains hanging on both sides of the counter. They went through the backyard on one side while going upstairs on the other.
The backyard was the warehouse and the top floor was the best quality goods.
The shopkeeper was his uncle's son, so when he saw Wang Rong He, he came up to her and introduced her to her. ”Fourth Young Master is here.” ”Yesterday, the boat arrived. I had someone deliver the news that the Fourth Young Master is coming over today.”
”My mother made crabs. Isn't this the way Fourth Young Master likes it? ” The manager said.
”Then I'm going to eat to my heart's content today.” Wang Rong said with a smile.
”This time, the boat even brought along some of Yu Yao's old flavors. When we leave, we'll bring them back and let Wang Qianhu and Old An have a taste of the old flavors.” The shopkeeper said, ”Originally, it should have been a new year, but unfortunately it was delayed.”
”It's not too late.” Wang Rong smiled and said, ”It's the time after the new year when our stomachs are cleared. Since we can eat some of our hometown food, Grandmother and Father should be very happy.”
The shopkeeper and Wang Rong were around the same age as their big brother, and they had two sons by their knees. He also had a younger sister, a year younger than Wang Rong and her brother.
The shopkeeper frowned, ”Ruoyun, I've said it many times, when a young lady is in men's clothing, she has to be called Fourth Young Master.”
”It's fine, there's no one else right now.” Wang Rong smiled and said, ”Let's talk in the backyard.”
The new goods were already arranged in the warehouse according to the type. Ruoyun then gave her the booklet with the points, ”This time, there aren't any special large gems, and there are still a few big customer orders that we didn't do.”
”What about quality?” Wang Rong asked, ”If there's no big one, use a few more to save a big one.”
”There are people in the market who look like we have jewelry. Big Sis occasionally knocks on the blacksmith's door too.” Ruoyun said. At that time, the ladies of the capital all thought that Xiyang Jewellery was too extravagant and extravagant. It was because of Wang Rong and the paintings, that Xiyang Jewelry was made into Jewellery according to the traditional aesthetic, thus opening the door to a new world.
It turned out that Yuan Tao's friends were the only ones who could show off their skills. Now, there were many similar types of jewelry on the market.
”There's no way to avoid this.” Wang Rong He said, ”We won't be doing low-end stuff from now on. We'll just do high-end customized ones.”
