Zhao'er came all the way to the south of the city. Before entering the archway where the Shen family is located, he saw the Two large flags more than five feet high.
This is the Jinshi and rank flag. Only someone in the family can set up this flag.
This famous flagpole is divided into two structures, the flagpole sandwiching the stone and the flagpole.
The flag poles on the flagpole are also very particular. If you have a formal imperial examination background and pass the imperial examination, you can set up two flagpoles with flag poles. If he is the number one scholar, he can set up three flagpoles. If there is a member of the third rank or above in the clan, he can set up four flagpoles.
The two big flags in front of the Shen family gate, one has three buckets and the other has four buckets. In other words, the Shen family had a champion and an important minister in the court.
The reason why Zhaoer, a country girl, knows this is because her second sister told her when she came to visit her.
The main entrance, the side entrance and even the corner entrance were not accessible to Zhao'er's status. She went around in a long circle before arriving at the back entrance of Shen's mansion.
The back door was ajar, and Zhao'er didn't dare to barge in. He respectfully went over and knocked on the door.
The door creaked open, and a plump woman walked out and asked her: "Who are you looking for?"
This woman is just a janitor, but she also wears a satin gown and has jewelry on her ears and hands, which is enough to show the wealth of the Shen family.
The Shen family is indeed wealthy. In this Xia County, it can be said that if you stomp your feet, the county will tremble. The Shen Mansion here is the ancestral home of the Shen family. Except for the eldest and second masters of the Shen family who are working as officials, everyone else in the Shen family lives here.
"Hello, mother-in-law, I'm looking for Sulan. I'm her brother and I came here to see her."
This woman's attitude cannot be called warm, but she doesn't look down on others. At least from this point of view, it can be seen that the rules of the Shen family must be very strict. She asked Zhao'er to wait, then closed the door and went inside.
Zhao'er waited for a full stick of incense before the back door opened again, and a very beautiful woman walked out. I saw that her skin was as bright as snow, with phoenix eyes and red lips. She was wearing a water-red jacket and a moon-white pleated skirt. Her long, thick black hair was simply pulled into a bun, with a gold hairpin inserted into it.
Obviously her clothes and hair accessories are ordinary, but when she wears them, she has a kind of beauty that no one else has. Her chest is bulging, but her waist is extremely thin, and she has a good figure.
This person is Wang Zhaodi, Zhao'er's second sister, but she changed her name to Su Lan when she arrived at the Shen Mansion.
Zhao'er couldn't help but frown. The second sister had changed a lot since the last time she saw her. Not only the material of his clothes, but also the jewelry on his body, his complexion and even his figure have changed a lot.
She felt a little panicked, grabbed Su Lan, and walked to the corner where there was no one around.
"Sister, did you really do it?"
Seeing her sister scratching her sleeves carelessly, Su Lan asked impatiently: "What can't you do?"
"It's that, that..." Zhao'er hesitated for a long time, then said with a blushing face: "You can't really marry the Sixth Young Master, right?"
The corners of Sulan's eyes raised, and the corners of her mouth also curled up: "Why do you care about this?"
"Sister!" Zhao'er couldn't help but stamp his feet.
Su Lan looked at her sister and remembered that she was sold by her family. Only her younger sister, Zhao'er, found out where she was from Ya Po and walked away all day and night to see her. At that time, she was full of panic. The appearance of Zhao'er made her know that she was not alone and that no one would know that she would not die in this house, so she immediately softened her heart.
She sighed softly: "Didn't I tell you before, I will not leave the house to live in such a hard life. Although I am a first-in-law now, the sixth young master promised me that when grandma comes in, Just make it for my aunt."
Zhaoer's face was full of surprise and disbelief. She had already known this, but she was still shocked when she learned from her second sister that she had actually done such a thing.
For the first time in her life, she didn't know what to say. She hesitated for a while and said, "That's it? If you treat me like a kid, I will be bullied by my big wife."
Zhao'er's only knowledge told her that there were only a few days when she was young that she could live comfortably.
Su Lan felt particularly uncomfortable at her sister's words, and she waved her hands indifferently. The snow-white and slender jade finger, with a gold cat's eye ring on it, exudes a faint light and is dazzling in the sun.
"You don't understand, and you don't have to worry about me being bullied. As long as Master Six is on my side, even if Grandma Six comes in in the future, she won't dare to bully me."
"Yes..."
"Okay, don't talk about me, your little husband is cured of his illness? I'm not telling you, it's better for you to come into the house and be a girl to keep me company than for you to stay in that house and be exhausted. Live strong. Which woman is looking for a man who can’t protect her? It’s better for you. Instead, you earn money outside to support your family.”
"Isn't he still young? Besides, sister, it's not like you don't know. If it hadn't been for my mother and father, I might have been sold somewhere long ago. You were lucky enough to be sold into In the Shen Mansion, there are also those who are unlucky enough to be sold into that kind of dirty place."
Su Lan pursed her bright red lips tightly and said nothing.
The reason why she was sold into the Shen Mansion was not explained by good luck.
In the shimmering phoenix eyes, all kinds of rays of light fell silent. She let out a breath and cursed: "That's why I don't want to see you the most. You make me angry and cause trouble for me every time you come."
Zhaoer kicked the pebbles under his feet: "I just thought I haven't seen you for a long time, so I came here to take a look at you."
"How are you living? Then the Xue family didn't make things difficult for you, right? Just wait until I become Master Sixth's aunt. If anyone bullies you again in the future, I will help you deal with him."
Zhao'er felt warm in his heart. He couldn't help but lean over and hugged Sulan's slim waist coquettishly: "Sister, don't worry. I'm such a naughty person. Who dares to bully me? You don't know that the Xue family There are so many tricks..."
She recounted what happened to the Xue family recently.
Su Lan's lips curled up when she heard this, and she said sarcastically: "So this is the human heart. Don't test people's hearts. You will usually be disappointed. Don't rely on others. The truth is what you hold in your own hands."
Su Lan was a little extreme, but Zhao'er knew why the second sister was like this. In fact, occasionally she would be extreme, but she rarely said it out loud.
"Then what do you do now? If your little man really loses, then there will be no school? Have you ever thought about this matter, if you win, if you lose, the two of you will It’s hard to gain a foothold in the Xue family.”
Of course Zhao'er understood this. She stood up straight and smiled: "Sister, I know. Don't worry, I plan to find another way to do business. At worst, we will just be alone. Dogs like to learn, so just Let him learn and provide for me until I can no longer provide for him."
Su Lan hated the irony and poked her forehead with her jade finger: "How old are you if you still can't afford to pay? After a good day, you think you can't afford to pay. Just forget it, Don't say that Second Sister doesn't feel sorry for you. I know someone who is the third shopkeeper in 'He Rong Sheng'. If you go to him, he can find some way for you to make money."
'He Rongsheng' is the name of the pawnshop. It has many branches in Pingyang Province and one in Huyang Town. Zhao'er usually came and went in the town, so he had naturally heard of this name.
"This and Rongsheng are the Shen family's businesses? Sister, how do you know the three shopkeepers here?"
A hint of cryptic complexity flashed in Su Lan's eyes, and she said impatiently: "Don't worry about it, just go find a person named Shen Ping. Okay, I won't tell you anymore, the Sixth Young Master will come later It’s time to have lunch, and I have to wait on it, lest those little hooves rush to show their courtesy again."
After a pause, she took out something from her sleeve and put it into Zhao'er's hand: "Take it, it doesn't matter even if you really lose, we'll do it ourselves first. The Shen family's clan knowledge is the best in the entire Pingyang Mansion. I'm famous. When my sister becomes an aunt in the future, I'll see if I can ask the Sixth Master to let your little man come in as a companion or something. I really owed you a debt in my previous life, and I have to worry about every little thing."
Su Lan's figure quickly disappeared through the door.
Zhao'er stood there, looking down at the silver ingot in his hand. After a long time, Fang held it tight and left.
*
Zhao'er didn't know where He Rongsheng was in the county, so she asked about it along the way.
When we arrived at the place, it just so happened that the third shopkeeper named Shen Ping was there.
Shen Ping is a very young man, with a good appearance and very mature and stable. He was wearing a dark blue t-shirt and looked about twenty years old, but he didn't expect that he was the manager of a **** shop.
When he heard about Zhao'er's purpose, his eyes flashed: "You are Zhao'er, I heard your sister told you."
Zhao'er didn't expect that the second sister would tell this person named Shen Ping her name. She smelled an unusual smell. As he spoke, Shen Ping had already led her in.
"When your sister told me about you before, I was thinking about what kind of business would allow you to do it for a long time. I thought about it again and again, and I felt that selling used clothes would be quite suitable for a girl like you."
The second sister's surprise at even telling the other person her gender did not last long. Zhao'er's attention was attracted by Shen Ping's words.
"What is selling used clothes?"
"You should know what a **** shop does. This **** shop accepts everything and can **** anything. The current period is divided into dead pawns and live pawns. If it is a live pawn, it means that the other party will come to redeem it. If it is a dead pawn, it is a thing. No. Of course, there are also those who have overstayed their welcome, and naturally they have become dead ones.
"These things were taken over by the **** shop and given money to the owner. Naturally, they had to be resold. Like some of the used clothes we bought, we directly resold them to embroidery workshops or ready-to-wear shops. If you are willing to do this business, , you can take some used clothes from here and sell them back."
As Shen Ping spoke, Zhao'er's eyes flickered again and again, and he asked, "How much does it cost? Is it calculated by piece or what? Since it is used clothes, they will definitely not be as expensive as new ones. Right?"
Shen Ping glanced at her: "You are very smart." He turned around and went to the outside: "Come with me, I will take you to see."
Zhao'er followed him all the way back. The yard behind the **** shop was very large, and it looked like it was all a warehouse.
I met many people in **** shops on the road, and they were all respectful to Shen Ping. Zhao'er followed him to a warehouse. Neither of them went in. A man who looked like a clerk dragged a large bag of things out and opened it in front of the door.
This big bag is full of clothes, some are worn out, some are 80/90% new, and there are even brand new ones that have never been worn twice. The clothes were made of various textures, some were made of cotton, some were satin, and some were made of silk, but they were all of good quality, anyway, better than the coarse clothes Zhao'er wore.
"These are usually mixed together, because they are all collected at low prices, so the asking price is not high. Give me two taels of such a package of clothes, and it will be yours."
Zhao'er couldn't even see it. In order to make sure it was a viable business, she stepped forward and took a look.
Such a package of clothes, at least a hundred items.
Even if a piece of clothing is sold for twenty cents, it is enough for her to recoup her capital. Moreover, some of the clothes were sold for more than 20 cash based on her visual inspection. What can you do with twenty cents? It takes at least six or seven feet of cloth to make a suit of clothes, and one foot of the lowest quality cotton costs seven or eight cents.
Not to mention that there are some good fabrics and even some cotton clothes. Even if they are not sold, you will not lose money if you wear them yourself.
The mule named Daqing shook his head and snorted, which seemed to mean that if he dared to deduct my rations, I would passively slow down the work and let him carry it himself.
Zhaoer burst out laughing, pointed at Daqing and said, "Look, even Daqing protested."
Jiang Wu turned his head and looked at the girl who was smiling wantonly, with a strange light shining in his eyes. Fortunately, Daqing knew the road and was docile, otherwise he would have led a car of three people into a ditch beside the road.
When Xue Tingyan from behind saw this scene, her face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.
He was annoyed and angry at the same time. He actually forgot about Jiang Wu.
In that dream, Jiang Wu had been coveting Zhao'er.
Jiang Wu was two years older than Zhao'er, but he never married. If Zhao'er hadn't been his child bride, the Jiang family would have come to propose marriage.
Even so, Jiang Wu never gave up. Once he even came to him and told him that he wanted to marry Zhaoer, asking him not to be so selfish and letting Zhaoer free. He also said that he and Zhao'er would support him in his studies and treat him as his own brother. Only then did he find out about this.
He was shocked and angry. At the same time, he also remembered that Zhao'er had been unwilling to marry him. He mistakenly thought that Zhao'er had an affair with Jiang Wu, so he took advantage of his parents' orders to marry her by force. Later, it happened by chance. When I got the chance, I realized that he had wrongly blamed her.
This incident has always been a scar between the two. Even though they never mentioned it again, there was a gap. After that, he was busy with his career, while Zhao'er was busy with business. The two didn't see each other for a long time, and even if they did, they rarely talked until he went to Beijing to take the exam after winning the imperial examination.
The man in the dream once thought after Zhao'er's death, if he had not been so despicable and forced it on his parents' orders, Zhao'er would not have died.
But this kind of thought is like a dragonfly on water, just passing by in a flash. Thinking about it at this time, he is probably despicable in his heart. Even if he is not the Xue Tingyan in the dream, he has never thought of making any move. Walk.
