However, although he promised to return to Beijing, there were still a few months before the Chinese New Year, Chu An was not in a hurry to go back now.

The top priority now is something else that his brother emphasized in the letter urging him to return to Beijing.

cashmere sweater.

The cashmere sweater that was given to the emperor last year was not sold on a large scale due to production problems, and only two pieces were produced for the emperor and Concubine De. At that time, Chu An specifically mentioned that it might be sold on a large scale next year. .

However, what Chu An didn't expect was that ever since the emperor couldn't refuse Chu An's dividend, he began to worry about his younger brother's business and his small treasury.

The emperor triumphantly showed off his wisdom and prowess in the letter.

It turned out that since autumn, those aristocrats in the capital have expressly hinted whether the emperor An Wang can sell cashmere sweaters in Beijing this year, happening every day.

However, the emperor pretended to be very embarrassed and refused several times, but he also showed off to others in private that cashmere sweaters are comparable to fairy clothes, and he also showed off to everyone that King An's flock of sheep had finally expanded to a huge number, supplying borders for several times A city sweater is not a problem.

After such an operation, the nobles of the aristocratic family have been adjusted to the highest interest in cashmere sweaters, expressly hinting several times, and even a few nobles of the aristocratic family gave in to the emperor's interests, so the emperor "reluctantly" wrote to the border letter.

The emperor specifically wrote in the letter that it is not necessary to sell too many at one time, so that the price will not be high, and the favorites of those aristocratic families are rare and precious.

Chu An knew it. From the modern age, he understood that the emperor planned to make cashmere sweaters a luxury item for the aristocrats of the family, which happened to coincide with his previous plan.

He hurriedly called Commander Xue to the cashmere warehouse on the outskirts of the city. Looking at the cashmere warehouse full of cashmere, Chu An had a new idea.

So along with King An's letter and gifts, there was also a middle-aged man with an ordinary face, and no one, including himself, knew how much he would make waves in the entire capital in the next month.

-------------------------------------

There is actually a clothing store in front of Shengfeng Restaurant, which is very abnormal in the capital city.

The street where Shengfeng Restaurant is located can be said to be very expensive, and the people behind it who can open a store here have never been a third-rank official. Because of this, all the expensive things used by high-ranking officials and nobles are sold on this street.

For example, the rouge of Yunyan Pavilion, the most expensive rouge costs 50 taels or even 100 taels to get a small box, and ordinary people may not make so much money in their lifetime, others like Jinfulou jewelry, Yu Tea House The tea and blah blah blah...

However, this ordinary clothing store broke this rule. From the outside, although the clothes inside are made of wool, which is very rare in the capital, even though the rough and prickly sweater looks like An An is standing behind it. Wang is also obviously not liked by dignitaries.

Besides, if it is really Wang An, at least he must be selling cashmere clothes.

This also caused this clothing store to be extremely deserted. It has been open for at least three days, and the shopkeeper of Shengfeng Tea House has not seen any business from this clothing store.

But today, three teenagers in gorgeous brocade robes walked into the store.

"Third brother, what do you think uncle thinks? He asked us to buy it because he was afraid of embarrassing himself." The youngest boy among the three pouted and walked into the clothing store with an unhappy expression on his face. .

And the young man he called the third brother said helplessly: "Who made us juniors, and this is Wang An's shop, it's not shameful, the second brother Muxiu was thrown over by the uncle, what else do you have to complain about?" of?"

The young boy pouted and muttered: "Second brother is now the imperial guard, uncle is not afraid that second brother will lose face in front of his colleagues."

The second brother who was called by the two younger brothers turned his head and said, "Okay, don't be so depressed. If you don't know, you think something happened to the Xinyang Hou Mansion?"

This second elder brother was the second son of the Marquis of Xinyang, and when he recalled the reason why he came here today, he was very helpless. His father credited King An with the credit of being able to become the emperor's eyes and seal the imperial guards.

And this shop sells sweaters, which is very likely to be opened by An Wang. Although the door is cold and the items sold do not seem to be An Wang's handicrafts, but my father obviously would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go. Throw yourself over and at least support Wang An's business.

The second son of Xinyang Hou walked into the store and looked at the patchwork in the store. He was a little strange. Obviously the clothes in the store looked really good, but why no one wanted to go forward?

However, seeing the required money next to these clothes, the second son of Xinyang Hou understood it now.

It turned out that the price was too cheap, and the children of the aristocratic families who rang the bell and ate the tripod probably felt that these clothes were not worthy of their status.

However, the Hou family of Xinyang started as a general, so they don't care about these.

Seeing guests coming, the ordinary-looking shopkeeper held a friendly smile on his face and said to these young men who looked like officials' children: "I don't know what the guest officials need, please tell the younger ones. "

The second son of Xinyang Hou said casually: "Does the store have clothes suitable for our brothers?"

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "Naturally, there are some. They are made of new cloud wool, and they are worn outside the coat. Whether you are on duty or hunting, they are very warm."

The shopkeeper obviously had a pair of sharp eyes, and he saw that the second son of Xinyang Hou was stepping on the official boots of a general.

While the two were talking, the young boy looked east and west for a while and asked curiously: "I wonder if the store sells cashmere sweaters?"

The second son of the Marquis of Xinyang slapped the young boy on the back and said, "Cashmere sweaters are such precious things, how could they be sold here carelessly."

The shopkeeper also nodded in agreement and said, "It's true that as the lord said, our shop does not sell cashmere sweaters."

The second son of the Marquis of Xinyang looked at the young boy with a look of 'Look, I'm right'.

However, what the shopkeeper added immediately made the three of them turn their heads abruptly.

"But our store accepts orders for cashmere sweaters," the shopkeeper still had that friendly smile on his face, "but it's limited to only [-] pieces. A few guest officers are willing to come and buy one."

When the three brothers returned home with almost sprained necks, their wandering expressions almost made Xinyang Hou think that the three brothers went not to Xingrong Street but Lanshanfang.

"What's the matter with you three little ones? Why do you look like your soul is out of your body? Didn't you go to buy sweaters? What about clothes?" Xinyanghou's question did not get any response, and the three little ones were still in the same picture. The appearance of wandering in the sky, even the youngest one gave out a 'hehehe' laugh.

Xinyanghou was even more suspicious that the two older ones had brought the youngest one to Lanshanfang, but Lanshanfang was just a place to drink during the day, and the faces of the younger ones did not look like they had drunk alcohol.

Xinyanghou's complexion sank and he put on a hell face and said: "What did you guys do just now? Be honest, or don't blame me for using family law."

The two big ones had a conditioned reflex to say something, but they immediately covered their mouths when they realized it, while the young one didn't have the same concentration as his two brothers.

"Uncle, we just ordered a cashmere sweater at Wang An's tailor shop!" The young boy was subconsciously startled when he saw his uncle's face, and told the whole story.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he realized what he had just done. He looked at the horrific expressions of his two elder brothers, and then at the expressions of his uncle, who ranged from stunned to surprised.

The little boy pursed his lips and realized that his cashmere sweater might not be able to keep.

-------------------------------------

As long as things have a beginning, things will go much smoother in the future.

As the news spread that the three brothers of the Hou family in Xinyang had ordered cashmere sweaters, the clothing store that was originally deserted was almost overwhelmed by the servants of the dignitaries.

The reservation requirements for cashmere sweaters have been linked with several other shops of the emperor himself, and the reservation quota for a cashmere sweater will only be obtained when the amount of money spent in those shops is reached.

This also made countless people envious of the three brothers of Xinyang Hou's family. After all, they did not need such prerequisites, so they ordered three cashmere sweaters, and the reason was that they were the first three customers to buy sweaters since the store opened.

It's not that no one objected to such a willful condition, but when the mild-looking shopkeeper displayed Wang An's imperial waist card, everyone shut up about the clothing store.

Instead, he began to blame himself, why didn't he have a discerning eye at the beginning, and the emperor's stores reached the peak of business in the past few days, the emperor cheerfully counted his small coffers, and let the nobles of the family spend a lot of money.

The pursuit of cashmere sweaters in the capital has reached a crazy level, and this trend has also spread to the surrounding towns, including the small county where Ming Yuruo's father was the county magistrate.

The cashmere sweater sought after by the dignitaries in the entire capital actually came from the sheep raised by his daughter.When Ming County Magistrate heard the news, he was in a daze. It was not until he returned to his study and sat down that he finally felt something.

Recalling when Ming Yuruo was appointed an official, Ming County Magistrate, who had a beautiful scene at home, said with emotion: "I thought that Yuruo would never see her again after entering the palace stubbornly, but I didn't expect her to be so lucky. Lady officer..."

At this moment, the door of the study was pushed open with a creak, and Mrs. Ming stood at the door holding a cup of sweet soup and smiling.

"Master, it's getting late at night, let's go to bed earlier." Madam Ming said with a gentle smile, the county magistrate Ming nodded, telling Madam Ming to go to rest first, and he still has some business to deal with.

In a place that Ming County Magistrate could not see, Mrs. Ming's hands had already been pierced with crescent-like blood marks by her long nails. After she exited the study, she did not return to her bedroom, but went to her daughter's boudoir.

"Jin Ruo, you have to fight for your mother. That shameless bitch even got into an official position. Your father is also blind to think that it's a good thing for that little bitch to hang out with a bunch of men." Mrs. Ming didn't have that gentle look in front of Ming County Magistrate at all, the aggressive expression on her face was abnormally distorted, but Ming Jinruo at the side didn't care, and even accompanied Mrs. Ming to tightly squeeze the handkerchief in her hand .

"Don't worry, mother, my sister used to look like a boy, and now she is going to be an official with a man. There must be no good man willing to marry." The tight veil proved that she was not as relaxed as the expression on her face.

Her good sister, after entering the palace, she should die in that palace that cannibalize people without spit out bones. Why, you came out again?
