The son crosses every night

The two had done porcelain business, and this business required ruthless slaughter, so they couldn't do it often, and if they wanted to earn more money, they had to find another way.

At this moment, You Qianqu was curious about what kind of business he was going to do, so he couldn't help leaning forward slightly, "Let's talk about it first?"

Seeing his appearance, Tang Hua lowered his voice and said, "I want to do some cloth business."

"Now?" You Qianqu was puzzled, "Shouldn't you be doing food and charcoal fire business now? Those who are rich have already prepared cloth, and those who have no money can't pay even if it snows heavily, and the weather is cold. The price of fabric must have gone up, and now is not a good time to be in this business."

You Qianqu has always been a bit of a gamer, and Tanghua didn't expect him to say this, so he looked at him in surprise, and then smiled, "No, now is a good time to start a fabric business."

"Huh? Just tell me."

Tanghua spread out his fingers and showed him, "There are still a few days before the Chinese New Year. The Chinese New Year is spring, and when the weather gets warmer, the price of fabrics will fall. We just bought a batch, dyed it ourselves, and brought it out in spring and summer." Sell."

When You Qianqu heard this, he understood slightly, "You want to buy plain silk and dye it yourself?"

"Exactly."

"When did you learn to dye cloth?"

"From the book, I don't know if it's true or not. I think I can try it." Tang Hua pondered, "Fabric is a good business. If we run it well, even if there is no secret recipe for dyeing, we may not necessarily lose money. If the fabric If you can do it, you don’t have to worry about your monthly pocket money.”

You Qianqu still needs to withdraw the monthly silver from his family. Although he is the only son in the family, he has a lot of monthly silver, but a person who is about to get married cannot have no silver in his hand.He went to work as a bodyguard after the next year, and logically speaking, he should be able to earn a lot of money, but he had inquired that the monthly salary of a bodyguard like him was more than 20 taels of silver, which was not as much as his monthly salary.

As soon as Tanghua mentioned this, his mind became active, "I don't know how you want to cooperate?"

"You know the situation of my family. I still live and board in the palace and haven't separated yet. This business must not be done in my name, otherwise my private property will be confiscated if I say a word."

You Qianqu nodded, and Tang Hua continued: "The fabrics are controlled by several major commercial firms, and it is not easy for outsiders to get in. You still need to use your family's name to frighten them. I am short of manpower here, and the fabric business grows bigger. If you want to travel north and south, Pingyuan may not be able to support it alone. Even if you invite people outside, it is difficult to invite a master with good skills and courage. Therefore, I want to do this business under the name of your family. You send thirty family members to help. After deducting the cost, you will share [-]% of the profit."

Tang Hua concluded: "My side produces dyeing cloth recipes, formulates the overall plan, and takes [-]% of the profits. Pingyuan runs errands and works hard. The business is entirely up to him, and he will share [-]%. What do you think?"

You Qianqu said: "You have already given me preferential treatment, I have no objection. However, the family's salary is from the family, and my family's name is also from my father. If I do this business for a long time, I need to go home and ask him Opinion."

Tang Hua nodded, "There's no rush, just tell me before the third day of the new year, my future is uncertain, and we won't know where our dyeing workshop will go until the next year."

"Shouldn't it be opened in the imperial capital?"

"Of course not. The imperial capital is expensive, and the shops are even more expensive. There are only canals, so it's not convenient to dye cloth. I'll see if it's convenient. I want to open the dyeing workshop to Jinkou Prefecture, where the cloth is abundant and the goods are cheap. some."

"Going so far, wouldn't it be inconvenient for us to go see it?"

"It's not too far away, and it can be reached in two days. If it is in Jinkou Prefecture, it is convenient to send the dyed fabric to the imperial capital or to the south of the Yangtze River."

Seeing him talking eloquently, You Qianqu wondered, "Have you thought about it before?"

"Well, before making porcelain, I wanted to start a cloth business first, but at that time the cost was low, and the recipe I knew was suitable for making summer cloth. I didn't have enough time, so I planned to make porcelain first."

"You really—" You Qianqu sighed, "You all come out of the Hanhai Room, why do you know so many?"

Tang Hua smiled, held up his teacup and half covered his face, "Mr. Duo Lai taught me."

After the two talked, they went home.

Tanghua had a nightmare and entered the imperial capital at night, and the story of asking to see His Majesty has been spread. Many people think it is miraculous, and many people think it is ridiculous.

Many classmates and friends wanted to see him, but were blocked by the housekeeper.

Regardless of what they thought, Tang Hua took Jiang Pingyuan to visit the owner of a certain grain store, and after buying two thousand catties of millet at a price close to cost to send to the other side of the village, he took Jiang Pingyuan to the fabric store.

He seemed to be going his own way, some wicked person saw this and even gave him the nickname "Gu Kuang", and this nickname quickly spread among their young people's circle.

Tang Hua was stunned when he heard about this, and pointed his finger at the tip of his nose, "Gu Kuang, me?"

You Qianqu nodded and said: "There should be no second Gu who dares to take this title."

Tang Hua shook his head and laughed, "I don't dare to take it either."

On the 26th day of the year, the palace received a reply letter from his father Wang Jingning, who wrote the letter to Zanhua.

King Jingning said in the letter: He has received the news, thanks to the early warning from Tanghua, they made preparations and repelled several groups of enemies who came to harass.Although the enemy was vicious, they were short of food and clothing. They were no match for Dasheng's soldiers. Gu Tangyu's side was also good, but he was blocked by the heavy snow in Beihu King's Court and couldn't make his way, so he didn't have to worry.

King Jingning was serious and reticent, and rarely spoke to the children in his family. It was the first time that Tanghua received a letter from his father when he was so old.

The princess has always been a little lukewarm towards Tanghua, and Tanghua usually goes to her side on the [-]th day of the lunar new year to say hello.

In the days since Tanghua came back, these two dates have not met, and he has not been to see the princess, and the princess has not called him.

Gu Tanghan wanted to make trouble several times, but he went to study in the Hanhai Room during the day, and when he came back from school, Tanghua would often hang around outside again, and the two brothers couldn't meet each other, and they lived in peace.

This day, Tanghua really missed Ruan Shijie, at night when everyone was asleep, he got out of bed and bolted the door and windows, trying to think about the door on the wall, after tossing for a long time, a white light appeared faintly on the wall.

It's done!Tang Hua turned over excitedly and got out of bed, listening to the movement outside the house like a thief.

It was late at night, all the maids and women were asleep, everything was quiet, Tang Hua put on his coat, walked to the wall, opened the door with his feet, and poked his head out to look at Ruan Shijie.

Ruan Shijie was reading a book behind the desk, when Tang Hua saw his appearance, he guessed that he was waiting for him, and called out cheerfully: "Sir."

As soon as Ruan Shijie looked up, he saw him lying on the side of the door frame, calling himself with frowning eyebrows, he couldn't help laughing and said, "What are you doing lying there? Why don't you come in?"

Tang Hua then ran in, walked to the opposite side of the desk with a cold air, and called again, "Sir."

It was cold, and he was wearing a pair of moccasin boots. The clothes on his body were made by the Tailor Institute of the Prince's Mansion. The collar and sleeves were secretly embroidered with silver thread, and the collar was also embellished with pearls and gemstones. It looked much more luxurious.

Ruan Shijie scanned it and asked, "Have you returned to the palace?"

Tang Hua nodded, and gave a detailed account of what he had done these days. Ruan Shijie heaved a sigh of relief after hearing what he said.

Tang Hua didn't feel that it was dangerous, he focused all his attention on the cloth shop, his eyes were bright, "Sir, we will be able to open the cloth shop next year, and there will be more money in the account then."

"What kind of cloth do you want to dye?"

"Didn't you tell me about Xiangyun gauze? I want to dye that one first, dye it in spring, and sell it in summer. You should be able to earn a few thousand taels a round trip. When the new cloth comes out in autumn, I'll see what color to dye. "

Ruan Shijie saw that he had a plan, nodded and said: "This plan is not bad, if it succeeds, you should not be short of money in the future."

Tang Hua nodded and said, "Sir, after the snowstorm is over, I want to start harvesting wool, rinse the yarn in spring, summer and autumn, and sell woolen sweaters directly in winter."

Ruan Shijie asked: "The woolen sweater is made of rough material. You put so much effort into it. Poor people may not be able to afford it, and rich people may not be able to buy it. What will you do then?"

Tang Hua really hadn't thought about this, and was taken aback by Ruan Shijie's question, with a look of bewilderment in his eyes.

After a long while, he said, "Then I'll ask them to wrap the woolen sweater with cotton or silk, and wrap a few more layers so that it won't hurt people."

"This is a good way." Ruan Shijie suggested: "Wool sweaters have to be knitted. You can't find a skilled hand for a while, and it's troublesome to train yourself. If you have time, you can try to weave woolen yarn directly into cloth." , and then cut them into clothes the way clothes are cut."

After being reminded by him, Tang Hua also felt that this method is feasible, "Thank you sir!"

"You're welcome." Ruan Shijie looked into his shining eyes and said with a smile: "You have to explore these things slowly. Since you plan to start the fabric business in the spring, there is more than half a year's buffer, so it should be no problem."

Tang Hua thought about it.

After talking about this, Ruan Shijie changed the topic to something lighter, and asked with a smile, "Did your family make things difficult for you?"

Tang Hua shook his head, "I just met Sheng, and the concubine did not dare to embarrass me. If she really embarrasses me, I am not afraid. I will bear with it for small things, and I will report to the clan's mansion for major ones. The concubine is more afraid of rumors from outside than I am. "

Ruan Shijie was amused when he saw his serious look, "Then what about your younger brother?"

Gu Tanghan couldn't take care of himself, and Tanghua smiled and said: "He didn't have time to trouble me. Since my face-to-face interview, the princess has held him to study, and his life is more difficult than mine. Sir, let's not talk about me, how about you?" , are you still here during Chinese New Year?"

"No, I have to go back to the old house to visit my parents during the Chinese New Year."

The first time Tanghua heard him talk about his parents, he had a surprised look on his face, "Don't you have to live with your parents?"

"No, we've always had our own lives."

Tang Hua couldn't imagine, "You can separate the family before you get married?"

Ruan Shixie said, "We don't call it a separated family. Most young people don't live with their parents when they grow up."

"Isn't this just a separation?" Tang Hua was puzzled: "You don't live together, live in your own way, don't mix your money together, only see each other a few times a year, and don't interfere with your own life. Just do it without you."

When Tang Hua said this, he became envious again. He also wanted to live separately from his parents when he became an adult. He didn't mind living with his father, but he didn't really want to live with the princess.

Ruan Shijie rubbed his head, "You have to understand that it's not impossible to separate the family, but we don't have that. Once the child grows up, the society assumes that the child's parents live separately, and it is rare for them to live separately after they become a family. Live with parents."

Tang Hua figured it out, and turned to ask anxiously: "Then sir, when will you go back, when will you come back?"

Ruan Shijie: "I should go back on the 28th of the year, on the sixth day of the new year. Before I go back, I asked my aunt to prepare food in the refrigerator. You can come over as usual, and you can take the things in the house by yourself. If you miss me, you can call me .”

Tang Hua reluctantly said, "Oh, I see."

He lived in the palace and did not dare to leave for too long, the two had a conversation and he went back.

Early the next morning, Tang Hua got up and took Jiang Pingyuan out for a walk as usual. He wanted to buy Ruan Shijie a New Year's gift.

Jiang Pingyuan asked: "My lord, are we going to visit the cloth shop today?"

Tang Hua: "Didn't we go all over Cloth Village? Today we will go to the Silver House."

It was the first time for Jiang Pingyuan to hear that his young master was going to visit the Silver House, and he was full of surprise, "Why visit the Silver House?"

"Buy some things." Tang Hua was vague, unable to directly say that he wanted to buy gifts for Ruan Shijie, "Let's go shopping first, maybe we will also open a silver shop in the future."

Jiang Pingyuan was convinced by this reason, "Then let's go to Yinlou Street first."

The imperial capital gathers countless peddlers from south to north, and the major shops are ashamed to say that they are old shops that have not opened in the imperial capital.

Years ago, the Silver Building was busy, and Tang Hua looked left and right, his face full of interest.

"My lord, let's visit this one first." Jiang Pingyuan escorted him to the first big silver building.

Tang Hua previously earned more than 5000 taels from selling porcelain, and today the Holy One rewarded him with a thousand taels, making him very wealthy.

After Tanghua entered the store, he asked the storekeeper to take the treasure from the store, which made Jiang Pingyuan's eyebrows twitch in shock.

After Tang Hua had seen the jewelry of the three silver houses, Jiang Pingyuan couldn't help but pull Tang Hua aside, "Little ancestor, which girl do you have your eyes on, and you want to spend so much money on jewelry?"

Tang Hua was at a loss, "I haven't seen a girl."

Jiang Pingyuan almost stomped his feet, "Did you spend thousands of taels on jewelry if you didn't like the girl?!"

Tang Hua's face turned reddish, "I'll just take a look, but I may not buy it."

"Hey, if I hadn't pulled you along just now, you would have paid for that agate and white jade chess piece!" Jiang Pingyuan slightly raised his voice, "You even flattered her father and brother so far, and even said you didn't like the girl ?!"

Tang Hua opened his mouth, "Can't I buy it for myself?"

"Who are you lying to? You played chess with others when you were nine years old, and you lost sixteen games in a row in three days. Didn't you stop playing chess with others?"

"……Oh."
