Chapter 284 (1/2)
Liu Yi set out for Jiangnan.
Princess Huyang is still in the palace to copy the filial piety Scripture.
Gu Mei sent a letter to thank Gu Jiu.
Gu Mei said in the letter that if it wasn't for Gu jiuti's point, the daihou mansion didn't expect to pay for the emperor.
At first, as Gu Jiu suggested, daihoufu planned to buy Huyang princess with a sum of money and ask Huyang princess to cancel the marriage.
Who could have thought that before the money was sent, Princess Huyang was detained in the palace.
At this time, it was impossible to send money to Princess Huyang.
The Marquis thought about it, and gave the money to the emperor directly. Ask the emperor to order to break the relationship between Huyang Princess and Han Wulang.
Originally, the whole family were very worried, but unexpectedly, the emperor really took 100000 taels of silver presented by the daihou house, and ordered that no one should mention the matter between Huyang Princess and Han Wulang.
It was a great surprise to get this result.
The old lady of daihou house was very happy. She ate half a bowl of rice in the evening. As a result, her stomach swelled. She asked the grand doctor to prescribe two doses of medicine to recuperate.
As for Han Wulang, he picked up the clouds to see the moon and was reborn. For the time being, he did not dare to go out for a while, for fear of being entangled by someone else, and for fear that his father would clean him up.
Gu Mei said in the letter that Han Wulang is very honest these days and takes the initiative to read a book every day.
However, Gu Mei is also worried that Han Wulang is only honest for the time being. When the wind is calm, he is likely to relapse and continue to go out.
Gu Jiu picked up the pen and wrote back a letter to Gu Mei. Ask Gu Mei not to worry about such things.
Read more books for her baby.
……
Several servant girls of Qingmei spent several days to make ten sets of wool woven garments.
According to Gu Jiu's requirements, it is divided into small size, medium size, large size, large size, plus large size.
Several servant girls give the finished product to Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu calls Rongxin and asks them to try them on. Is there anything that needs to be improved.
Several little yellow men tried them on separately.
”Good, warm. But it's too hot now. ”
Gu Jiu said with a smile: ”these ready-made clothes are naturally prepared for winter. Is there anything that needs to be improved? ”
”No, it's easy to put on and off. It's best for the people in the barracks. ”
Gu Jiu is relieved.
Let them change their clothes and wait to be sent.
Gu Jiu looked at the three small yellow gates, ”I have an opportunity here. I need to go to the northwest and discuss a military supplies business with the northwest army. It's the wool garment you just tried on. Which of you would like to go? ”
Three little yellow faces each other.
Bai Zhong said, ”Madam Qi, I haven't done business before. Can we go there?”
Gu Jiu said: ”how to talk about the business, I will arrange a shopkeeper to accompany me. When you go to the northwest, the most important task is to review and supervise the business for me, and make decisions for the shopkeeper and Dazhuang when they are in a dilemma. Who dares to go? ”
No one answered.
Gu Jiu said: ”the northwest is very hard, but as long as this business is completed, I will give him the responsibility for the northwest business line. From now on, he will be in charge of the northwest trade line. The annual salary will be ten times, a hundred times, or even a thousand times that of the present.
I know you are afraid of the northwest army and Lu Hou. But I can give you a bottom line. This business is to cooperate with Lu Hou's daughter, the son and wife of the Duke of Zhu. On this trip to the northwest, Shizi's wife will send two stewards who can speak in front of Lu Hou
”I'll go!”
Deng Cunli came in from the outside.
He bowed slightly, ”please give this opportunity to the old slave, the old slave will certainly live up to his trust and complete the task.”
Gu Jiu hesitated.
The reason why Deng Cunli was excluded from the beginning is that Deng Cunli is too old and she needs to cultivate young people. Second, she also needs Deng Cunli to run around and ask for information.
There is another worry. She is worried that Deng Cunli and Lu Hou have a bad day.
Deng Cunli worked as an official in the palace for so many years and once held power. Maybe he had contact with Lu Hou.
She said to Deng Cunli, ”my wife can't leave you. You'd better stay in the capital.”
Deng Cunli said, ”Madam Qi, Bai Zhong can do all the work that the old slave is doing now. But on this trip to the northwest, they may not be able to shoulder the heavy responsibilities.
What should they do if they ruin the affairs of Madame. Please give the old slave a chance. If the old slave takes one of them to the northwest, he will train talents for his wife. ”
Gu Jiu pondered, ”Duke Deng, can you tell my wife why you want to go to the northwest? The northwest is bitter and cold, and has a heavy responsibility. This trip is not easy. ”
Deng Cunli bowed down and said, ”to be honest with your wife, it's really depressing for the old slave to stay in the capital. The old slave wanted to go out and make a breakthrough. He wanted to change his ways of living. He wanted to be the chief manager of the northwest trade line. He wanted to get the salary of ten times, hundreds of times, or even a thousand times as much as his wife said. The old slave wants to save more money for the future pension while he is still workingGu Jiu solemnly said, ”I will support you.”
Deng Cunli shook his head, ”the old slave is not ungrateful, but if he can support himself, he still hopes to fight hard. Please give the old slave this chance. ”
Gu Jiu hesitates for a moment. She can see that Deng Cunli is eager to get this opportunity.
”Does Duke Deng know how to talk about business?” she asked
Deng Cunli confidently smiles, ”buy low and sell high. Ask for money in the sky. When we talk about business, we talk about who has more confidence. ”
There are some reasons.
Gu Jiu asked again, ”it's not impossible for you to go, but you have to answer me honestly. Do you know Lu Hou? Do you have a holiday? ”
Deng Cunli hesitated for a moment and then said, ”to tell you the truth, when the old slave was young, he contacted Lu Hou several times. I don't know he can't remember him. As for festivals, they certainly don't.
The old slave is going to discuss business for his wife. What he wants to do is to make good fortune by making friends with others. He doesn't dare to offend others, nor dare to bring disaster to his wife for the palace. ”
Gu Jiu said: ”you are an understanding person and know what to do and what not to do. I can leave the job to you, and you are in full charge. If the job is well done, the lady will not be stingy enough to give you the northwest trade line, and you will be in the middle. But I would like to remind you that you represent the face of my wife this time. Therefore, if you speak or act outside, you should not lose your face. Do you understand? ”
”Don't worry, madam. The old slave will only fight for his wife's face and dare not lose face.”
”That's good.”
Gu Jiu looked at the three yellow gates again, ”who would like to go to the northwest? If not, I'll let Mr. Deng pick someone from the shop. I think there should be many people who are willing to go to the northwest to experience. ”
”The little one is willing to go.” Huang Zhuo was the first to stand up.
Gu Jiu nodded with satisfaction. You will follow Duke Deng to the northwest to preside over the Quartermaster business. I have written down all the things I need to pay attention to when I go to the northwest. ”
From her desk drawer, she took out a thick stack of paper with notes on it.
She handed the manuscript to Deng Cunli. ”I hope you can have a smooth trip.”
Deng Cunli bows down with Huang Zhuo.
Deng Cunli looked at the notes with a serious look.
There are a lot of things they need to do about this Quartermaster order. Sure enough, this trip to the northwest is not easy.
Gu Jiu pointed to the neatly folded garment samples, ”you can take these samples with you. If the deal is settled, we will make it according to these five sizes. The number of each size, you need to understand and grasp. Green plum, bring them the model. ”
Qingmei took out a package with five cutting patterns in it.
She said to Deng Cunli: ”you should take these size patterns well and never drop them. With these models, even if you're a beginner, you'll soon be able to use them. If an old tailor sees the pattern, he can cut the cloth with scissors
Gu Jiu also pointed out: ”while there are still a few days away from Beijing, you two go to find Er Zhuang and learn from him what is assembly line operation. When you get to the northwest, you will benefit a lot. ”
”Yes. Is it up to the old slave to decide the price? ”
