Fang Zhilan shook the folding fan in his hand and stared at the Tang family selling bracelets with interest, the smile on his face getting deeper and deeper.

Miss Tang had yellow powder on her face today. He didn't recognize her at first glance. It wasn't until he heard others talking about "hand in hand" that he took another look.

But with the driver, Lao Qi, he immediately confirmed the identities of these people.

But as he watched, he couldn't help but said to the boy beside him: "Jinbao, do you think Miss Tang didn't understand what I meant yesterday?"

After he learned the leasing method, he originally wanted to reward Yunling with money, but after learning from Qian Wang that Yunling could make special hairpins, he immediately changed his mind.

He felt that the Tang family, which could raise a smart woman like Yunling, must not be a simple farmer, and might even develop something else in the future.

He thought it would be better to teach a man how to fish than to teach him how to fish.

It’s a win-win situation!

He gave Yunling the iron talisman representing the identity of Fang Ji's supplier, telling her that when she wanted to sell something to others, she could first go to the store under Fang Ji's name and ask, rather than find a way to sell it on her own. Selling outside is much more convenient.

After all, although his reputation is not well known, he has shops in most major counties and cities, covering various industries.

Unexpectedly, Yunling didn't seem to understand what he meant.

Jinbao glanced at the things in the Tang family's hands from a distance, and said, "Miss Tang may think that the bracelet is too cheap and not qualified to enter Mingcui Tower."

Fang Zhilan closed the folding fan and knocked on the window, "I told her that the Fang family's business is very extensive, but any sign with the same square character as the iron talisman engraved on the lower right corner is our Fang family's shop. , even if you don’t sell this bracelet to Ming Cui Lou, you can still go to Fu Jin Lou and ask.”

Fujinlou is the name of the Fang family's silk and satin shop. There is also one in Xinzi County, in the west of the city.

Besides, although the Yuxian flower hairpin and hand-in-hand bracelets are small and inconspicuous, they look unique and fresh if you look closely. Coupled with the slogan that will never fade, this business is small but worth doing.

After all, no business is built overnight. It all grows from a young age. Their predecessor, Fang Ji, was just a small cloth shop. His great-grandfather started the business by earning the price difference from selling cloth from the north and the south.

He has been taught since he was a child that he should not be too ambitious but have a keen mind that is good at discovering business opportunities, as well as a heart that is based on kindness and integrity.

"Master, do you want me to invite Miss Tang here and tell her again?" Jinbao asked.

He felt that Miss Tang looked like she was only twelve or thirteen years old, so she might not have fully understood what her master was saying.

Fang Zhilan shook his head, "Well, she may have her own considerations. If I take the initiative to solicit, she may think that I have ulterior motives, and she will not dare to do business with me."

After saying that, he hit Jinbao on the head with a folding fan, "You should also think more carefully about what you do. Don't just go to someone so straightforwardly whenever something happens. You are just one-minded!"

Jinbao: "..." The person who just complained is not you.

As it approaches noon, more and more people come to buy hand-tied bracelets. Most of them are curious after seeing others wearing them and come to join in the fun.

These people almost surrounded the small stall.

Some people gave up after asking about the price. Some people thought it was too expensive and didn't want to leave, so they stayed where they were and bargained with Yun Ling.

Yunling wanted to make money by being friendly, so although she refused to lower the price, she still patiently explained to those who complained about the price.

"If you don't want to buy it, give it up. I want to buy it!"

A maid squeezed into the crowd, grabbed Yunling and asked: "Little girl, how many hand ropes do you have at home? My lady has taken care of them all!"

It was the master and servant who made Tang Zifu's first business deal.

The maid squeezed into the crowd, and the young lady stood far away by the bridge, looking straight at the stall.

"Yes, yes." Yunling smiled with a smile on her face. Before she started counting the remaining bracelets, the bargainers grabbed the maid's arm and said angrily: "There must be someone who comes first, right? We This is a huge price, do you understand the rules?"

The maid didn't care about this and said bluntly: "I won't bargain, little girl, just count how many are left!"

Seeing that this maid was serious, the ones who bargained the most fiercely immediately grabbed a hand rope from the stall, "I came first, thirty-eight cents is thirty-eight cents."

The stall was noisy for a while.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of horse hooves, and several horses were seen running across the stone bridge at high speed.

Some of the people on the bridge and the roadside were unable to dodge, but they fell directly on the people next to them, which was really embarrassing.

Although the lady in pink clothes managed to hide in time and was not stepped on by the horse's hooves, she still ate a mouthful of dust. She suddenly became angry and shouted: "Zhuo Laosan, what are you doing? I didn't know it was a lotus today." Do you dare to ride your horse here and risk your life?"

Although the group of six people were all riding horses, they were not very fast. Knowing that the Lotus Festival was being held here today, they were afraid of stepping on anyone, so the last person heard the sound and immediately turned around and looked over.

He reined in his horse and clasped his fists, "It turns out to be Miss Zheng. I'm sorry. The thief was found outside the city. Your Excellency sent me to arrest him as soon as possible."

"What kind of thief? The criminal thief you searched from house to house a few days ago?" Miss Zheng asked curiously.

Zhuo Laosan, however, flicked his whip and ran forward, leaving only one sentence: "I can't say much because of official duties. Please don't blame Miss Zheng. I will apologize to Master someday!"

He ran away in a flash, leaving Miss Zheng frowning and thinking that she had to tell her father when she got home that these government officials were becoming more and more arrogant and domineering.

When these government officials appeared, Yunling's mind was no longer on selling skewers.

She pricked up her ears to listen to the conversation between Miss Zheng and Na Zhuo Laosan, and speculated on the scene at the city gate.

If it is known that the "thief" is outside the city and these government officials are arresting him outside the city, can the inspection at the gate of the city be relaxed?

With a thought in her mind, she grabbed the furoshiki, wrapped the remaining bracelets, and stuffed them all into the maid's arms, "I'll sell them all to you!"

The maid was also smart and trotted to her young lady's side while holding the furoshiki.

Seeing that the things were gone, and that the young lady knew someone from the yamen at first sight, the people next to her could only shake their heads and complain a few words, and then dispersed.

"There are thirty-three more. If this young lady wants them all, it will cost one thousand two hundred cents."

Miss Zheng glanced at the bracelet in the furoshiki, nodded with satisfaction, and asked the maid to bring out two small pieces of silver without counting, "I don't have that many copper coins on me, these two pieces of silver are about one, two or three dollars. There are too many, so there’s no need to look for them, you’re doing a very good job with the flowers. If there are any fresh things in the future, you can bring them to the back door of the county government office and tell them to look for the Zheng family.”

Yunling accepted the money with a smile on her face.

The choice to set up a stall was indeed the right one, wouldn’t it, the opportunity would come?
