He Ruhui was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "That's it. Tomorrow... hehe, brother Xue Shixiong will go to my mansion tomorrow to go through some formalities. The 20,000 brothers need 40,000 sets of autumn clothes. The clothes only need to be cold-proof and strong. That's fine, the specific style will be picked up from the mansion tomorrow, this time two hundred and twenty thousand taels of silver have been allocated for the purchase of autumn clothes, Brother Xue can bring someone to collect the money order tomorrow."
Xue Poye knew that receiving the banknote tomorrow is a matter, and giving away treasures is also a matter, so he nodded and said: "Okay, Po Ye will go to the government tomorrow to go through the formalities."
"Brother Xue also knows that under normal circumstances, the government pays for the money on sight, and sometimes it may even take a while." He Ruhui said: "But there are no such troublesome things between me and Brother Xue." , although you can get the silver first, you can first calculate how much silver you need, and just take it.”
Xue Poye cursed secretly in his heart: "Damn, if you don't give me money, how can I do things? I'm not from the Lu family, so I don't have so much free money." He Ruhui said that it is necessary to calculate the cost, He sneered even more in his heart, he had already reported the amount of silver purchased just now, and now he is talking about cost accounting, after all, the implication is that the two hundred and twenty thousand taels of silver are not all handed over to you, Xue Poye, May have to leave kickbacks down.
Although Xue Poye doesn't know much about the autumn clothes of the army, he does know the popular autumn clothes in the market. Needless to say, the fur and the down of the wealthy family, the autumn clothes worn by ordinary people are actually usable in both autumn and winter. Da Chu There is a popular "double-layer cotton shirt". In autumn, one layer can be removed, and the two layers can be worn together in winter. Moreover, the clothes are strong and durable. This is not expensive, and it can be made for about two taels of silver with slightly better quality. It is also estimated that even if some other things are sewed on the autumn clothes in the army, the price will not exceed three taels of silver, and if purchased in large quantities, the price will definitely drop a lot. All in all, this is a huge profit. business.
Of course, Xue Poye knew that it was impossible for him to own all the money, so he laughed and said, "Don't worry, Brother Shi, I will definitely check the accounts carefully, and I will hand over the excess to Brother Shi for proper handling."
"That's good, that's good!" He Ruhui nodded with satisfaction.
However, Xue Poye immediately thought of a tricky thing. This business will be good in the future, but this large amount of autumn clothing requires a lot of silk, but the silk business in Hangzhou is in the hands of the Lu family, even if there are some idle merchants First, it may not be able to supply such a large amount of silk cloth. Second, even if it really has the strength to supply, the Lu family will definitely intervene. As the boss of the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce, other merchants may not have the courage to do such a large business. rush to do it.
The production and sales of Dachu silk cloth are probably concentrated in the three states in the south of the Yangtze River. Hangzhou is the Lu family, and Yangzhou is the Fang family. I don’t know if Suzhou is also controlled by the Fang and Lu families.
Mei Niang seemed to see through Xue Poye's worries, and she giggled and said, "Is the shopkeeper Xue in trouble? You snatched the business, and the people in the Lu family are not happy. They are looking for silk, but they have to go out of Hangzhou." go find it."
Xue Poye really felt that this woman was not as shrewd as usual. Naturally, she couldn't show weakness at this time, and remained calm and composed: "After the matter is taken over, Xue will naturally take care of it. Sister Mei Niang doesn't have to worry."
He Ruhui remained calm and said calmly: "He is not the only one in this world who can do business with the Lu family."
Meiniang smiled charmingly, as if to remind: "Yes, yes, the Lu family is nothing more than dominating Hangzhou. When it comes to the territory of Suzhou, the Qiao family has the final say."
Xue Poye's heart was shocked. From this point of view, Suzhou was not controlled by the Fang and Lu families. It seemed that there was a Qiao family who was controlling it. He was a little relieved. In any case, this trip to Suzhou was going.
Xue Poye raised his glass to respect He Ruhui, and then said: "Brother Shi entrusted this matter to Po Ye, and Po Ye must be very thoughtful and live up to the entrustment, but if he wants to travel, I'm afraid the restaurant will not be able to take care of him. Senior brother may as well take care of one or two, Poye is here to thank you." Speaking of which, I was really worried that the Lu family would do something to me when I left.
He Ruhui chuckled, and said leisurely: "I have a share in the Han Garden, so I will naturally take good care of it."
This seemed to be a reminder to Xue Poye that everyone laughed again tacitly. After finishing the business, Xue Poye didn't want to leave the romance behind. After chatting for a while, he said goodbye and left, and agreed to go to the government office to go through the formalities the next day.
Riding the golden lion, Xue Poye let the breeze blow on his body, feeling indescribably happy. No matter whether it was ordered by Old Tan or not, as long as he can earn silver, Xue Poye will be very happy. The relationship between Confucianism and Confucianism, the Lu family did not get this big business, but instead fulfilled themselves.
The shadowy moon is shining, the weather tonight is actually very good, and the sky is covered with glittering and translucent stars.
Strange to say, while riding leisurely on the horse, he thought of Xiao Suzhen, and even thought that Xiao's mansion was not far from here. He reined in the horse, thought for a while, and shook his head first: "Grandma, go home and sleep. Don't go and be beaten out by that old broom." Pulling the rein to the right, he didn't take a few steps, reined in the horse, and said to himself: "I'm afraid of his grandma's bear, I'll just go the right way, a man can bend and stretch , see if there is a place to go in." After hesitating for a while, he finally lost his mind, he was in a good mood today, so his blood boiled a little, he turned his horse's head, and galloped towards Xiaofu's Pegasus.
There are many bamboo shadows. With the breeze blowing, the bamboo forest makes a rustling sound, as if dancing and singing in the night wind. The water waves in the pool reflect the bright moon and stars. With the sparkling water, the moon and stars seem to be happy inside. play in the water.
There are still lights flickering in Xiao Mansion in twos and threes, Xue Poye has never felt so aggrieved, the gate of Xiao Mansion is closed, maybe even a fly can't get in through the front door, let alone such a handsome and tall man living.
It seems that the old man Xiao is really worried that some unscrupulous disciples* will enter the courtyard to harass his precious daughter. The story of the gifted scholars and beautiful ladies night party has been passed down from generation to generation, so the courtyard walls of the Xiao residence are extremely high, and the walls are smooth. There is no way to get in.
Xue Poye tiptoed around for a long time, but couldn't find a suitable place to turn over the courtyard. When he turned around to the back of Xiao's mansion, he almost gave up. He touched the smooth wall and sighed in his heart: "Suzhen, Suzhen, It seems that there is really no chance." The mood that was quite happy before was suddenly a little depressed.
Smelling the faint fragrance in the wind, Xue Poye shook his head. Just as he was about to leave, he took only two steps and suddenly touched the cold blade on his waist. The color is faint, the bamboo shadows are whirling, there is no one, the cold blade twitches, walks lightly to the wall, sticks out the cold blade and pierces into the wall, this solid wall is like tofu, and the cold blade easily makes a hole here .
"Hanren, Hanren!" Xue Poye said happily: "If I get Suzhen one day, I will definitely raise you up for several hours." With quick hands and feet, he dug a few big holes on the wall with ease, stretched out I tried my feet, and it was just enough to accommodate my feet. Excited, I kicked my feet up, supported by the cold blade, and dug two more holes. Just like this, I dug side by side, and after a while, I turned over the wall.
Most of Xiao's mansion was already pitch black, with a faint fire shining on the west side, and not far behind the wall, there was actually a room with a light on, but it was unknown whose residence it was.
Carefully slid down from the top of the wall, the footsteps are very soft, but the ground is covered with lush green grass, surrounded by shadows of trees, exuding an elegant fragrance, the leaves of these trees are huge, like palm-leaf fans. It was found that the yard was full of plantains.
Xue Poye thought for a while, the last time he entered Xiao's mansion, he rarely saw banana trees, only in Xiao Suzhen's house there was a banana forest in the back window, could it be that he is behind Xiao Suzhen's house now
Damn, this is too coincidental, Xue Poye couldn't help his heart pounding, if this is the case, it seems that God is also helping.
Xue Poye suddenly felt particularly exciting. He had seen ancient talented scholars* dating beautiful women. Although this was not considered a date, it felt very good. He put away his cold blade and crept forward through the plantain forest. The lights of the hut were used as coordinates, and slowly approached.
He was worried that Mr. Xiao Moting was also there, so he walked very carefully. If he was found out and the courtiers of the Xiao Mansion came to kill him, he would really be ashamed.
Under the moon, turning over the courtyard will be beautiful, if you don't catch it, it's a good story about a gifted scholar and a beautiful woman, if you catch it, it's a traitor.
So Xue Poye is very careful, very careful!
Approaching the hut, Xue Poye took a deep breath. There are always so many coincidences in this world, so many beautiful stories have been made. Although the front of the house cannot be seen, Xue Poye is very, very sure. This hut is Xiao Suzhen's yard, and he came to the back of the boudoir.
Although Xue Poye is not a person who is prone to emotional ups and downs, but at this moment, he is still very excited. Of course, after the excitement, it is a very exciting feeling.
Through the window paper, the fire inside is still bright, and I don't know what Qiao Nizi is doing? Wouldn't it be reading a book under the lamp? What a good girl who is studious.
Approaching the window, Xue Poye calmed down, trying to feel the atmosphere in the room. It was a coincidence that he heard the soft "squeak" sound of the door opening, and then the door was gently closed again.
