Five years later, on the official road to the capital, the caravan escorted the goods and was careful of the surrounding environment. In a carriage in the middle of the caravan, a charming girl was lying on a small table in every possible way bored, and the books in her hands were dangling up and down. .
"Grandma, you've been in the carriage for five days." The girl put down the book, hugged the arm of the old lady beside her and acted like a spoiled child.
Tang Lihua looked at the boneless appearance of her elder granddaughter, and pointed her forehead, "I told you a long time ago, if you bear with it, you will be able to enter Beijing tomorrow."
Wang Cuilian didn't agree, and she massaged Tang Lihua's arm in a fawning manner, "I'm worried that grandma won't feel comfortable if you sit for a long time."
Tang Lihua smiled, the transportation in ancient times was really inconvenient, it took six days to get there from the small county town to the capital.
Over the years, Tang Lihua has accumulated capital by setting up a stall by herself in the first year. In the second year, she set up a shop by herself, hired staff, and increased the variety of breakfast. After a few years, she opened several branches in surrounding counties. Made a lot of money.
As the saying goes, boys are poor and girls are rich. Of course, this kind of richness does not only refer to material things.
Tang Lihua bought a large yard in the county seat, and found a female wife for Wang Cuilian to teach her to be enlightened and literacy.
Wang Cuilian was asked to learn piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Don't look at her temper, but in the end she only persisted in piano.
Tang Lihua also subtly established the correct three views for Wang Cuilian in her daily teaching, and brought Wang Cuilian with her every month in the store planning, and let her understand these mundane things.
The old Wang's family has also changed a lot in recent years. Tang Lihua moved to the county seat, and the Miao family also went to the county. Later, seeing that the old lady had earned so much money, she wanted to share a piece of the pie, but Tang Lihua directly ordered her eldest son to suppress her. went back.
Erfang is because of the female lead of the koi carp. The male lead found his sister and left without saying goodbye. After returning to the capital, he sent someone to pick up Erfang's family the next year. People in the village only knew that Erfang had met a powerful person, and some people said behind his back that Tang Lihua was not. That blessing, if they don't separate families, they can go to the capital with Erfang to enjoy the blessings.
Later, Tang Lihua's shop became more and more famous, and those words gradually stopped.
As for Sanfang, who was mercilessly treated by Tang Lihua after the family separation, and did not go home in the end. That was the time Wang Jiafa went to the city to ask the third child to help find Erya, but he was sent away by Wang Jiagui.
Wang Jiafa couldn't go back directly at that time, he was stunned to find it after dark before returning home, all this was learned by Tang Lihua from his honest eldest son later.
The fourth son directly married the old carpenter's daughter and became a door-to-door son-in-law. He also gave Tang Lihua some filial piety during the holidays.
This time when Tang Lihua came to Beijing, she made an exception and asked Miao to enter the county to be the shopkeeper of a branch. She said that the shopkeeper was actually a idle job, and she couldn't manage the accounts. The chief inspector personally appointed by Lihua will go to Beijing to report to Tang Lihua every two months.
Tang Lihua has very strict control over this aspect. Those shopkeepers have long been taught her tricks, and they dare not play tricks under her nose. They are all honest.
In the past five years, due to Tang Lihua's deliberate actions, Wang Cuilian and Wang Cuiyao had very little interaction, and Wang Cuilian was brought by Tang Lihua's side, and she directly avoided the plot where she fell in love with the hero.
But this time when she came to Beijing, she was bound to meet the heroine. Tang Lihua knew that the status of merchants in ancient times was extremely low, and she was an old woman with a little girl, so it was not safe at all.
There are not a few people who are motivated by money. Tang Lihua has already seen these people in modern times. After gaining fame, Tang Lihua hired a nursing home, and even the woman who served Wang Cuilian was strong and strong.
Tang Lihua didn't expect that her family would be successful, and she was famous in the imperial examination.
Three years ago, he intentionally or unintentionally subsidized poor students and helped many people. He even opened an orphanage in the county to help orphans, widows and abandoned children.
It is also Tang Lihua who has skills in business, but her wealth is not revealed. Everyone knows that this old lady who has suddenly emerged has skills and brains, earns a lot of money, and lives a good life.
There are also those merchants who have colluded with the government, it is not that they are not interested in Tang Lihua's property, but when they want to rob it, Tang Lihua's reputation as a good person has already been known far and wide, and he has become a wealthy household with a reputation.
Thinking about those who have been interested in Tang Lihua's wealth these years, it seems that there is no good result, and they are terrified.
Then this year, during the floods in the north of the Yangtze River, Tang Lihua donated half of her net worth without saying a word. At this time, the court was alarmed, and the emperor specially issued an imperial decree, making Tang Lihua the "Lord of Yun'an Township".
This changed from a village woman to a high-grade official wife, which shocked many people.
Tang Lihua received the good news, and this time she went to Beijing to receive an order to thank her, and she had her current trip to Beijing.
This trip was a must, and Tang Lihua also had other concerns, so she took Wang Cuilian to Beijing together.
Now that Wang Cuilian has reached the age where she wants to see her, this girl is raised by Tang Lihua with high eyesight, and she doesn't even look down on the sons of those merchants, and Tang Lihua doesn't force her.
Going to Beijing this time is just a plan in advance, and it doesn't have to be a long-term stay. If she has no intentions, Tang Lihua doesn't want to entangle with those women in the back house and waste her brains.
The carriage drove for another day, and finally arrived at the capital at noon on the sixth day. I found a restaurant to live in, and asked the steward to find a yard as a place to stay. Tang Lihua took her granddaughter to rest for half a day, and then went for a stroll on the street. .
Although Tang Lihua's external earning business is only a breakfast shop, she has already started a cloth and jewelry business.
Tang Lihua has a good eye and knows how to dye cloth. Cloth of various colors can also be dyed with patterns. She has secret recipes, so there is such a family in the capital, which only sells five bolts of cloth every day. Each has its own characteristics, latecomers will not be able to catch up, and reservations are not accepted.
This kind of maverick attracted a lot of attention as soon as it appeared, but most people sneered at this rule, until the covered cloth revealed its full view, and the eyes and patterns of the cloth immediately surprised many people.
Tang Lihua also specially ordered that each piece of cloth be cut out into a suit, and find a woman to wear it on the body, the visual effect will be better.
The cloth business has gained a reputation so far, not to mention jewelry. Tang Lihua has more jewelry designs in her mind. She only needs to draw them and let the skilled craftsmen create them.
It's just that the jewelry shop and the cloth shop are in the same shop, and jewelry is more demanding than cloth. Those pearl hairpins and hairpins that are marked as high-quality goods are all superb, and there will never be a second one of the same style in this world.
Tang Lihua especially understood the mentality of those consumers. Once such an advertisement was released, coupled with the ingenious jewelry, no matter how high the price was, someone would buy it.
There are also ordinary styles of jewelry, which are for ladies who are not so rich in financial resources but have a certain family status.
It is said to be ordinary, but that style is not found in other shops, and it is more exquisite.
For Tang Lihua, nothing is easier than doing business.
No one knew that in just one year, it became the most popular "Cuiyuxuan" in the capital, the royal aristocrats and official families, and the owner behind it was Tang Lihua from a small county town.
Tang Lihua has already paved the way for coming to the capital. The experience in her previous life told her that the closest way for a businessman to gain the recognition of the state is to do good deeds and donate money for disaster relief. These are the basics.
The reason why Tang Lihua donated half of her family property to help the victims was spread to the emperor because Tang Lihua spent money in advance to spread the news, and then bribed the people around the governor to blow the wind in her ears. It is a political achievement.
The governor only needs to hand over a booklet, and the court also has Tang Lihua's manpower in the capital to take advantage of it. He praised Tang Lihua in front of the emperor, and it was not because he was accepting bribes, so naturally he would not refuse.
Tang Lihua's title of township monarch was planned step by step in this way, and Tang Lihua did not avoid Wang Cuilian and explained to her all the advantages and disadvantages.
As for why she had to go to Beijing to confront the heroine, she had no choice but to do so. On the day the heroine was picked up by the hero, the system issued a task to Tang Lihua, asking her to bring Wang Cuilian to Beijing within five years.
Tang Lihua also knows why there is such a task. With her appearance, the plot of the heroine and the female supporting role will disappear immediately. incomplete.
This is also a deliberate attempt by Tang Lihua, and the final result is also expected. In order to complete the plot line, the system issued this mandatory task, but Tang Lihua is not afraid.
Wang Cuilian, who has taught under her for five years, is no longer that wild girl in the countryside who only knows how to bully her cousin.
"Grandma, this capital is so lively." Wang Cuilian held Tang Lihua's arm, her face full of curiosity.
The bustling small vendors on both sides of the street made her eyesight blind. If she hadn't cared about grandma, she would have gone up to see them all.
Tang Lihua came to ancient times, and this was the first time she saw such a lively scene. With a loving smile on her face, she patted the back of her granddaughter's hand and said cheerfully, "You don't have to accompany me, go play."
Wang Cuilian cheered, looking at the street, she lowered her voice, "The grandma is the best, I'll go pick some good things for her."
After speaking, she went to the vendors on both sides of the street, and the two women who served her apologized to Tang Lihua, and hurriedly followed.
Tang Lihua followed slowly, and also took a look at the customs of the capital.
It didn't take long for Wang Cuilian to disappear. With those two wives around, and the capital was at the foot of the emperor, Tang Lihua didn't worry about her safety, so she let it go.
"Old lady, it's not good, the young lady had a conflict with someone." Tang Lihua was attracted by a candy maker's stand, and one of the women who followed Wang Cuihua before hurried back, full of Anxious face.
"Old Li's, what's the matter with you?" Chang Ma, the woman behind Tang Lihua, immediately stepped forward to ask questions for the master.
The mother-in-law hurriedly told what had happened, and at the end she urged, "I see, that is a lady from an official family, she is very arrogant, and she also followed a few servants, so she hurried back to report to the old lady."
Tang Lihua's expression didn't change at all. She believed that Wang Cuilian would not be the one to lose, but she still ordered her mother-in-law to serve her, "Chang Ma, go to the steward and bring some people over. I'll go and have a look first."
"Yes, old lady." Chang's mother responded, and left in a hurry. Tang Lihua followed Lao Li's family to the troubled place.
It was a Bupi Zhuangzi, and at this time it was already surrounded by people who liked to watch the excitement. Two women cleared the way in front, and Tang Lihua finally walked in.
"Miss, I have already said that I will give you this piece of cloth, so why are you being so aggressive?" Wang Cuilian was no longer as playful and playful as she was in front of Tang Lihua at this moment. The lady's etiquette is full.
Facing the domineering young lady across the way, she frowned slightly, making her look even more delicate and pitiful.
Seeing this, Tang Lihua stepped forward in no hurry to see how the granddaughter solved it.
"What does it mean to give in to me? The thing I like belongs to me. When will it be your turn, an unknown country bumpkin?" He Xuanxuan said arrogantly and unreasonably, revealing her contempt for Wang Cuilian in her expression.
Wang Cuilian sighed, and she was not angry when she heard her words, and asked helplessly, "The lady wants me to make you satisfied?"
He Xuanxuan was immediately proud, she didn't have the style of a lady from a family at all, and she was indeed not a lady from a family, but a distant cousin of the Hou Mansion, who was only taken to the capital a few days ago, so few people present knew her.
battle
With the name of the Hou Mansion, He Xuanxuan has already tasted a lot of sweetness, so when she and Wang Cuilian fell in love with the same piece of cloth, she accidentally stepped on the corner of her skirt. When Wang Cuilian apologized and said that she would give up the piece of cloth, They still have to trouble Wang Cuilian.
"As long as you wipe off the dirt on the corner of my skirt, I'll let you go, how about it?"
