Before he left the inn, Guo Shao sent Lu Chengyong to say hello to Chen Jiali's mansion.
Lu Chengyong rode to the front of Chen Mansion. This relatively remote part of the west of the city was blocked for a long way today. The street was full of carts and horses, and a group of people were queuing outside the gate. Lu Chengyong didn't wear armor at the moment, and he didn't wear a robe and hat. He rode straight on the horse, but he heard some people cursing: "It's a bit of a rule of first come first, wait behind."
After listening, he asked, "What are you doing?"
"What are you here for? Let's do what." A fat man in silk robe snorted.
Lu Chengyong ignored them and went straight to the door and shouted.
...In a wing room in the front yard, only a bamboo curtain was hung at the door. A few people stood under the eaves, but did not enter. One by one was bowing and speaking to the inside.
In the room, Jiali Chen held her hands in front of her abdomen, walked slowly a few steps, and sighed "Alas": "I am a widowed poor woman, who is always careful not to make trouble. You are all bearded husbands. What do you always do at home?"
A middle-aged man bent over and said: "Mrs. Shen (Chen Chen family), after all, we are still from the Shen family. Don’t look at the former Patriarch, but Da Lang called your mother for a few years. Look at On the face of Dalang, he came forward to preside over major business events. Everyone is looking forward to your coming out."
A faint smile appeared on the corner of Chen Jiali’s mouth, but her tone was very resentful: "How dare, Brother Shen said that~a~this~read~the novel ybdu is really a shame to me, I have hid in this secluded place, 2 Sister-in-law didn’t tell me secretly...Oh, I can’t say anything so bad."
"This woman who doesn't know the generals, I will take care of her when I go back!" The middle-aged man was annoyed. "We are here to apologize for treating the madam so badly before; there are a lot of madams, but they don’t care. Get the goods back. This kindness, our Shen family can hardly remember."
An old man was annoyed: "What did she really say bad? I turned to the house in the afternoon and kowtowed to Mrs. Shen to admit her mistake!"
Chen Jiali hurriedly said: "Don't be like this. Although the second sister-in-law is not in the family, she is older than me. You want her to hate me?"
Another young man wearing a robe and holding a fan hurriedly said, “Now that the road of Shu is under the control of Zhou Jun, I can’t wait to seize the supply of goods and sell, and it will be cheaper for other houses. Madam has such a big backing, if she comes forward, Many people are waiting to send money to buy shares, we don’t need anything."
Someone excitedly said: "With the great patron of the Zhou Dynasty, relatives and relatives of the court, in the future, we will become a royal merchant, and we can also get involved in the salt industry..."
Chen Jiali said quietly: "What kind of backer, it's just doing a few business with his family and having a little friendship. You guys are so ugly, and there are some gossips, as if I am not obedient to women."
The middle-aged merchants immediately said with a serious face: "The people in our merchants, who dare to slander the fame of Mrs. Bingqingyujie, people and gods are angry! No one can spare him!"
Everyone immediately agreed: "Yes, yes..." "Madam is widowed at a young age, and she has to work hard to raise Shen Dalang. I propose to let the officials of Kaifeng Prefecture play and set up a chastity memorial for his wife." In troubled times, there are not many people who keep the festival like jade like Mrs. Shen, and there are people who slander the reputation. What a pig and a dog!"
"Why didn't Chen Weng come, if we ask Chen Weng to do things..."
At this moment, a middle-aged woman hurriedly walked in and called out at the door: "Madam." Chen Jiali responded, and the woman opened the curtain and walked in, and whispered a few words in front of Chen Jiali.
Chen Jiali was overjoyed and said: "Get a horse and a horse."
She hurriedly took the drapery and put it on, and walked out from the door. Everyone looked at her respectfully: "Madam..."
Chen Jiali said: "Such a big matter, let's talk about it later. I'm going to deal with something urgent."
She went out in a carriage and walked all the way north to the West Market. Aunt Sun was in the same car with her. Chen Jiali's face flushed and she whispered: "Those people just said they were going to set up a chastity memorial arch for me. They laughed so hard, would I see that thing?"
Sun Da Niang said: "As many as hundreds of thousands of goods, Zhou Jun Wufu is not affected by the number of return, let alone Shen Chen Li merchants, those small merchants all believe that the wife's road is open to the sky." /
Chen Jiali whispered: "It's just a word from him, I didn't do anything."
Sun Auntie smiled and said: "The Nanping National Gaobao who intercepted our goods was terribly scared, and all that was eaten vomited out, and it caused us to have so many treasures of unknown origin."
"That's okay. I haven't seen money." Chen Jiali raised her head and said, "Tell me to breathe out a bit of anger, but she feels comfortable. The shrew who only speaks bad things secretly, I wonder if she will come over tomorrow. I kowtow, hum! I don’t look at what I am, and I still have the face to humiliate me."
Aunt Sun echoed: "I heard that Shen Er bought a house outside and raised a concubine. She didn't return home once for ten and a half months. That woman seemed like a widow."
We arrived at the place in a short time, and they went in through the warehouse entrance behind the shop and asked about Guo Shao's location. Chen Jiali stopped her entourage and walked in one after the other with Aunt Sun, only to see Guo Shao and a young lady sitting at the table waiting.
Chen Jiali glanced at it, she couldn't help but startled slightly. This brother Shao’s friends are quite strange. Last time he brought a dirty, smelly and hungry person. This time it’s good to bring a village girl!
Chen Jiali can’t tell what it feels like. It’s fine for a woman like her cousin Zhou Xian to make Guo Shao feel good about it. What is his relationship with a village girl, and she doesn’t want to think about who she is. Why practice yourself.
However, of course Chen Jiali will not show her thoughts, but she has a smile on her face, and she makes a blessing: "The concubine is polite, and congratulations to General Guo for his victory in the attack on Shu."
Guo Shao casually clasped his fists in return, smiling: "He and Tongxi, the world calms down the war, it is good for all industries."
"General Guo made sense. Those tycoons who hold fertile fields may not care that much, but they are business people like us, who most expect smooth business routes and safe roads." Chen Jiali said casually.
Unexpectedly, Guo Shao was thoughtful after listening, and did not answer the topic for a long time.
Chen Jiali naturally turned her gaze to the "village girl" next to her, with a fond smile on her face. This village girl had never seen the world when she saw it, so she didn't say anything in her rustic style. No. Chen Jiali said, "What a beautiful little lady, who is General Guo?"
Guo Shao said: "Her surname is Lu, and her father has the name of Lu's genius doctor. She is an old friend with me. Don't look at Lady Lu, Mrs. Chen, because her medical skills have long been famous. Lady Lu, this is me. Friend Mrs. Chen."
Sure enough, the little lady's bright eyes looked at herself, her style was not small. Chen Jiali smiled and saluted: "It is an honor for the shelter to receive Lady Lu." Lu Lan still said nothing.
Guo Shao said: "Ms. Chen took Lu Niangzi to pick up some clothes. She didn't use silk fabrics. She might not be used to wearing silks and satin for a while. Just plain ones." After that, she turned her head to persuade Lu Lan very gently: It’s uncomfortable to wear if it's thick, it's a reward you deserve, don't mind."
Lu Lan said helplessly: "Okay." With only two words, the accent was completely different from that of a Tokyoite.
Chen Jiali said: "Let's change a place, it's upstairs."
The group got upstairs and reached a very luxurious room. In this place, there are a few ready-made clothes hanging outside, a few tables and chairs, and even a chess board; inside the warm pavilion is a round door with delicate embroidery, and inside is a place for women’s underwear and changing clothes.
Since it was Guo Shao who brought the people, how could Chen Jiali neglect to take the little girl into the warming pavilion, and specially select expensive materials. Chen Jiali smiled and said: "Ms. Lu first take off the clothes, let's try the inside first."
I saw Lu Lan dragging her clothes, very embarrassed. Chen Jiali said softly: "You see that the women who serve you are all women, and there are no windows in them. Some young ladies in Tokyo dare to change clothes here, so don't worry."
Lu Lan undressed now.
Chen Jiali looked at it calmly, but felt that Guo Shao's eyes were actually quite poisonous. Although this lady is petite and has very good skin, few women can match her **** alone. However, wearing that kind of undercut fat coat and skirt affected the appearance, and the whole figure was as pure and refined as a lotus root with a rough shell peeled off.
"I heard from General Guo just now that he didn't bring the money, so he probably wants to take credit." Lu Lan seemed to like Chen Jiali a little bit, and finally talked to her, "Don't pick too expensive."
Chen Jiali heard this laugh from ear to ear, and said: "Don't worry, I will pick the cheapest one. If he fails the account, I will not lose much."
Lu Lan said: "You can't fall back on the bill."
Chen Jiali casually took a light-colored floral, dark-colored collared top: "Try this, you see it is cloth, it's not worth a few dollars."
This material is interlaced with silk and cotton. This kind of cotton is transported from the Western Regions, and it is very slow when weaving. It requires the most skilled and careful weavers; the patterns above are even more laborious. This material doesn't look as shiny as silk, but it is more than ten times more expensive than ordinary silk. It absorbs sweat and breathes when worn, and ladies like to wear it in summer.
The tailoring is exquisite and the stitches on it are beyond the reach of ordinary tailors, and the clothes in the court may not be professionally done by merchants.
Lu Xiaoniang picked up the corner of her clothes and glanced at it: "The things in the capital of Great Zhou Dynasty are really good."
Chen Jiali smiled without saying a word, and said in her heart: This little girl is not an ordinary village girl, she is quite knowledgeable. And Chen Jiali casually took a look. The little lady had pierced her ears but she didn't wear earrings. This little lady was obviously not a staid person, she probably just had a bad family.
Chen Jiali asked someone to serve her in dressing, and she greeted Auntie Sun to come over. A little while later, Auntie Sun took a jewelry box and came in. Chen Jiali chose the smallest pair of gold earrings to wear to Lu Xiaoniang. It was not obvious at first glance, but the carved patterns of the earrings were very small, which was in line with the simple appearance and elegant interior...just like Guo Shao said.
After a while, Lu Xiaoniang changed her outfit from the inside out and came out neatly. Guo Shao's expression was taken aback. Chen Jiali praised: "There is a mirror over there, you don't look so publicly, but no one dare to look down on you. If there is, then she must be an ignorant layman."
Lu Xiaoniang glanced in front of the bronze mirror, she didn't say anything, but her face was flushed, she should be very happy.
