Ping'an Restaurant has only one or two doors facing the street, one counter, and the other with five or six tables. It seems that there are not many people sitting there, but there is something strange when you walk in.
"There is a big yard in the back," Yu Yuan said excitedly. "Moso bamboo is planted in clumps, like umbrellas, and there are more than a dozen tables. When there is no rain or snow, everyone likes to sit in the yard. If the weather is not good, you can go to sit indoors - there are open rooms on three sides of the yard. I took a closer look and found that each open room can accommodate more than a dozen tables. There is also a second floor, but the second floor is full of private rooms. This is the first time I have seen such a wine shop, no wonder others are running to Suzhou, Suzhou is really more lively than Hangzhou." Speaking of this, he smiled, and said, "However, it may be that the place I went is too busy. I don’t have much experience, and I don’t have a chance to see places in Hangzhou that are better than this.”
Both Yu Tang and Xiang Shi pursed their lips and smiled.
Yu Yuan continued: "I rewarded the waiter with a piece of silver, and found out about the Jiang family."
This is the point.
Yu Tang and Xiang Shi sat up straight.
Yu Yuan also looked serious, and said: "Jiang Chao, the head of the Jiang family, has never done maritime business before, and everyone is still a little worried about him. He is raising shares everywhere these days, and he can do both money and goods. , but this time I only need tea and porcelain, and the other goods are said to be ready. I don’t feel at ease. Looking at the opportunity, I, Hepinggui, invited that guy to have a meal outside alone. Listening to the guy’s tone, Jiang Chao Maybe he's not the leader. Most of the time, he just got a share in the overseas business. He couldn't take this share alone. That's why he found someone in Suzhou City to buy a share. I'll see this matter I'm a bit concerned, and I'm going to inquire about it tomorrow."
Yu Tang nodded again and again, and said: "Then we will do both. I found out where Jiang's aunt lives. Tomorrow, I will look for Jiang's aunt. You go to see Jiang Chao."
Yu Yuan thought for a while, and said, "Why don't I go to see Jiang Chao with your sister-in-law? I'm not sure."
Xiang Shi was very pleased to hear that.
Not only is her husband outstanding in appearance, he respects and loves her, and he also manages things in a well-organized manner.
All that's missing is some experience.
Even if you lose some money, it is only to buy experience and lessons.
Who doesn't do business like this!
Not to mention Yu Tang, he was even more capable than Yu Yuan.
Brothers and sisters are of the same heart, and their profits cut gold.
Their days will only get better and better.
"My sister, what do you mean?" Xiang Shi asked Yu Tang.
Coincidentally, Yu Tang wanted to meet Jiang Ling alone, and wanted to examine Jiang Ling's character. It is more convenient for her to go alone.
"Then sister-in-law, you can accompany brother brother!" She laughed, "Grandma Jiang's family is a female family member, we have no scruples when we talk. Jiang Chao is a hero, if brother brother has a bad conversation with him, sister-in-law will still You can say a few words of persuasion from the side."
Xiangshi nodded.
But Yu Yuan said: "You said Jiang Chao is a hero, but what have you heard?"
It was only then that Yu Tang realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, and hurriedly made amends: "He was able to sell the boat left by his father's generation to go sailing with his uncle, and he was able to start a sea business in just two years, which shows that this person is not simple. What is it not a hero?" Then she reminded Yu Yuan, "Even if such a person cannot cooperate, he cannot offend him."
"Don't worry, I will consider it." Yu Yuan agreed.
My elder brother will also be able to support the family business in the future.
Yu Tang has nothing to worry about.
Early the next morning, she and her elder brother and sister-in-law went back to the guest room to freshen up after breakfast, and then went to Yu's house.
Yu's house is just a stone's throw away from Jiang's house, with white walls and gray tiles, and a black-painted Ruyi door. On the left and right, there are box-shaped door piers that look like book boxes half a person's height.
From the looks of it, someone in the Yu family used to be an official, and the official rank was not low, at least a fourth-rank official.
The concierge of Yu's family was surprised when he heard that someone had come to visit the young lady at home, and he came from Lin'an, so he hurriedly reported to Jiang Ling.
Jiang Ling was serving her husband to drink medicine. After hearing about it, she searched carefully for a long time but couldn't find anything, so she asked the concierge to invite her to the hall. She explained the things in the house clearly, changed her clothes and went to see the guest .
From a distance, she saw a woman wearing a blue-green plain-faced silk gown and wearing a double-snail bun, standing tall and straight in the hall, looking at the picture of five girls worshiping birthdays hanging on the middle hall.
The warm morning light shone on her body, like a freshly jointed green bamboo, impressive.
She couldn't help but blushed, and explained after entering the door: "My mother-in-law celebrated her birthday a few days ago, and I haven't had time to take it off yet."
The paintings hanging in the middle hall should be changed at any time according to the different seasons of the year. In this season, some flowers, birds and fruits should be hung, but since the eldest son's health is getting worse every day, no one in the family is in the mood to care about it. These.
Yu Tang didn't know exactly when Eldest Young Master Yu went there, but he thought it would be this year, so he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"Young Mistress is serious." She smiled politely, turned around and said, "There is no rule on what kind of paintings must be hung, the most important thing is what you like."
Jiang Ling saw Yu Tang's face clearly, and suddenly felt his eyes light up.
She has seen a lot of girls with beautiful eyebrows, but it is very rare to see a girl like Yu Tang who is as gentle as jade and as bright as a flower in addition to her beautiful eyebrows.
She couldn't help asking: "Miss?"
Jiang Ling was afraid that Yu Tang was an old friend of the Yu family.
Yu Tang was very surprised when he saw Jiang Ling.
In her mind, a woman who can do something as good as a man like Jiang Ling, even if she is not tall and tall, should be a dignified, shrewd and rigorous woman, but Jiang Ling sees She looks about the same height as her, with a thin body, and only a pair of big black and white peach blossom eyes can be seen on her palm-sized face. Her long eyelashes are like a small fan. She has an immature face and a shy smile. She looks like a young lady in charge , clearly a little girl who hasn't grown up yet.
Yu Tang even wondered at that moment if he had found the wrong person.
"You, you are the aunt of the Jiang family." She said hesitantly, "Master Jiang Chao's younger sister?"
Jiang Ling breathed a sigh of relief.
Since she asked her brother, it can be seen that he is a relative or an old friend of the Jiang family. She doesn't know him, so her brother should know him too.
"Then you are?" she asked Yu Tang cautiously.
Yu Tang smiled and explained why he came here: "I'm from Lin'an, and my surname is Yu. You may not have heard of it. Our family makes lacquerware. My brother and I came here to buy paint these days. I heard that Master Jiang is going to run away. Maritime business is raising funds to invest in shares. Men and women are different, I am too embarrassed to go to Mr. Jiang, so I have to come to you to find out and see if there is any possibility of cooperation between us."
Jiang Ling still didn't know her, but he had a good impression of her, and felt admiration that she dared to come to see her even though she had never known her before.
She enthusiastically entertained Yu Tang for tea, and talked about her brother's business: "It's rare that Ms. Yu is interested. It's just that I never care about my brother's business. However, I know about his stock raising. My brother Brother is a real person. If you can participate in the shares, you will definitely not suffer. Besides, my elder brother has always done things properly. If the female relatives invest in the shares, there will be a special female manager to take care of them. I will let people put the female in our family Find the steward, you can ask her anything, or ask her to bring a message to my brother."
There is a special female steward. Are there many women who have invested in Jiang Chao's business
Yu Tang pondered in his heart, but his face remained calm, and he smiled and said to Jiang Ling: "Then there will be Mrs. Lao."
"Where!" Jiang Ling was very polite, and immediately called someone to invite the female steward of the Jiang family to come over. He neither asked how Yu Tang knew that their family was raising shares, nor how she came to find her. .
Yu Tang frowned secretly.
This Jiang Ling is not as shrewd as in the legend!
She was confused, and continued to chat with Jiang Ling while waiting for the Jiang family's stewardess: "I don't know how many shares the young mistress of Jiang's business bought this time?"
Jiang Ling was embarrassed when he heard this, and he hesitated for a while without explaining clearly.
Don't you have a stake
Yu Tang turned pale with shock.
Only then did Jiang Ling feel that he had done something wrong.
People in Suzhou City don't believe that her brother can do business in the sea. As a younger sister, she should be the first to stand up and support her brother. If others know that she doesn't even have a stake in her brother's business, Others don't believe her brother even more.
She eagerly explained: "I definitely want to buy shares. But as you can see, I am the daughter-in-law of the Yu family now, and I have to ask my husband-in-law about business matters. But my husband-in-law is very sick these days , I have never found an opportunity to talk about this... "
Yu Tang already felt tired, so she forced a smile and said "it's okay".
Jiang Ling also wanted to explain that the Jiang family's stewardess had arrived.
The female steward looked ordinary, in her thirties, with fair skin and a black mole the size of a grain of rice on the corner of her mouth.
Seeing Yu Tang, she was slightly taken aback, and saluted Jiang Ling. Before Jiang Ling could speak, she said, "Eldest young mistress, what do you want?" After speaking, she gave Yu Tang a wary look. .
With a smile on her face, Jiang Ling told the steward Yu Tang's reason for coming, and introduced to Yu Tang that the steward's husband's family name was also Jiang, and it was enough for Yu Tang to call her "Ms. Jiang".
Yu Tang greeted Mrs. Jiang, and Mrs. Jiang returned the gift, and asked about Yu Tang's origin: "Miss Yu is from Lin'an? I don't know who else is in the family? Why did you come to Suzhou alone to buy paint? How could you think of buying shares in our Jiang family's business? Are you going to buy shares by yourself, or with your family?"
Some women will take the opportunity to earn some private money.
It turned out that Yu Tang was going to answer Jiang Ling's questions, but Jiang Ling didn't ask a single word, but Jiang Niangzi asked.
"I am the only daughter in my family, and I only have one cousin. This time I went out with my cousin and sister-in-law..." Yu Tang was already a little disappointed in Jiang Ling at this moment, and calmly told Mrs. Jiang why he came.
Mrs. Jiang was dubious, but she still welcomed it, and said: "This is a big deal, Miss, I'd better go back and discuss it with my brother before making any plans!"
