Xie Ying sent her family to find Jin Yiwei's people for help, and went to the Tzu Chi Institute, Nunnery, and beggar households in the city to find Xu. The wife of the official family is quite beautiful, and it is difficult to guarantee that she will not be deceived and sold.
The two searched outside the city for those who sang operas, sang songs, walked on high-rise buildings, made banners, danced pills, and sold solutions on horses; Hawker, let's see if the Xu family will hide in it.
It's a pity that they spent a day and a night, and put in a lot of money to look at those people up close, but they didn't find Xu, and they didn't even hear of anyone similar. Thousands of guards in the Jingli patrolling city, together with the school captains and luxuries, would also ask for Xie Zhen when they patrolled everywhere. However, after several days of inquiries, they did not ask anyone who had seen this man who had been in the capital when he left the capital. The famous sinner who was watched by half the capital—
It was as if she had never been to Beijing at all.
Xie Ying went to the Cui family and told the Cui brothers about this. Cui Heng's eyes widened, and the two lines of tears rolled down like a river. He bit his lip and swallowed his cry, kneeling on the ground, begging his elder brother: "I know that my mother hurt my elder brother, the sin is unforgivable, but she is my mother after all, please help me find my mother. She's here. As long as my mother can come back, I'd like to go out of the house and serve her outside, and I'll never let her come in your eyes."
Cui Xie sighed and helped the bear child who at least understood family affection: "Although Xu Niangzi has committed evil, she has been punished by the law, and I will not remember the old evil. She is your biological mother after all, I think For your brother's sake, I will try my best to find her. It's just that we can't find any news of her, so it's possible that she didn't come to Beijing at all."
Cui Heng raised his head suddenly, sucked his nose, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Did she go to find her father?"
There is also this possibility.
When Xu's mother and son were sent out of Beijing, Cui Ju had not yet been to Yunnan as a councilor, but Cui Xie later sent Xiao Haijing, who served Cui Heng, to Fujian. Tell Xu everything.
At that time, the Cui Xie family in the capital was his Cui Xie covering the sky, and the Xu family did not recognize this criminal daughter. Perhaps the Xu family felt that there was no hope of returning to Beijing, so she went to Yunnan to ask her ex-husband to take her in
Cui Xie thought for a while, then held his brother's hand and comforted: "I will arrange for the family to search for people in two ways, all the way to Pinghaiwei to find the acquaintance of Madam Xu, to find out where she went, and go all the way to Yunnan. Looking for Lord Father, he also has officials there who can help find people."
He asked someone to take the second son back to his room, made an exception to reduce his homework for the day, told the child to sleep for a while after crying enough, and called Cui Liangdong himself to arrange the team going south.
Before Director Cui came over, Xie Ying whispered in his ear: "If you use people, I will also ask a few servants to follow them? Ping Haiwei is under the control of the garrison officer, and I am the envoy of Jinyiwei Town. Your name is easier to use than your Hanlin."
Cui Xie said with a smile: "No, this trip is the second thing to find someone, mainly because it's time to ask people to go to the south to buy things. It just so happens that Ju Anzhai will also bring some books to Nanjing to open a branch, and ask them to pack after the river opens in February. When the boat goes down the canal, it is cold and painful to drive the car out in the winter, and I, as a parent, can’t bear it.”
He felt sorry for his family, but he was not very worried about the exiled Xu family.
When Xu's mother and son were exiled, he packed up all of Cui Heng's belongings and escorted the captain of Jinyiwei, and told him to arrange flowers for their mother and son. Listening to Cui Heng's return, Mrs. Xu had dozens of taels of silver on hand when he came back. Although it was nothing in this Cui Mansion, it was enough to live a few years without food and clothing if the common people lived their lives.
Besides, with Xiao Haijing by her side to accompany Xu, she can also help her with her work and earn some money.
Cui Liangdong was looking for a military attache who went to Fujian to take office that day, and took Senator Cui's post and asked the official to help him with him. With the honor of this official and Master Cui, the officers of Ping Haiwei also agreed to help them watch when they received them, and would not tell Xiao Haijing to cheat Xu's money and run away. This little servant should be eighteen or nineteen this year. It is the age when he is prosperous and strong enough to earn money. He can still afford to support a woman from the Xu family.
If their masters and servants were still in Fujian, they would definitely be able to survive. Even if they walked into the capital and followed by a strong man, it would not be easy for them to be robbed. This spring's trip to the south to purchase is related to the future development of these shops in the family, and he has planned a big gift for his boyfriend, so he must prepare carefully and carefully, cautiously and cautiously.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled mysteriously at Xie Ying: "I have something I want to give you, this time I want them to buy one of the accessories by the way, but you can't ask your family to follow, or you will know that I want What are you sending?"
Gift-giving is expensive in mystery. If the person being sent knows what it is, it will be a lot less interesting.
He waited until Xie Ying left, and then called Cui Liangdong and the two shopkeepers, Manager Liu of Qingcha Shop, to study this year's procurement plan: this year, in addition to the fabrics, fat powder, and spices to be bought as usual, they must also be bought around Nanjing. In a Zhuangzi, fragrant flowers such as jasmine, hosta, roses, and herbs are grown in the village. In addition to being used for steaming fragrant dew, they buy cheap fried green tea leaves locally, and scent the scented tea and send it to the Qing tea shop for sale.
This is a major task for them to go south. Manager Liu picks people from the village and arranges them to settle in Nanjing; in addition, they also arrange for a few elderly people in the inner courtyard to go to Pinghaiwei, Fujian to inquire about the whereabouts of Xu and Xiaohaijing; The most important thing is to go to the Fujian and Guangdong areas, and think of buying large pieces of clear imported crystals, asking the craftsmen to grind them into circles about the size of spectacle lenses, and buy as many as you can.
Although there are also spectacle lenses in Beijing, the price is too expensive, and a pair of crystal lenses can cost dozens of taels. In Guangdong, there are ships that sell foreign gemstones, and the best crystal stones that have just come off the ship can be obtained for a few taels of silver. There are also local craftsmen who are good at processing. Polishing and polishing is the right lens.
When he had a tryst with Xie Ying for the first time, he planned to make a "Western Landscape", which was very popular in the late Qing Dynasty, and asked Xie Ying to watch a traditional handmade cartoon.
He didn't know the specific structure of the thing, but he had seen it once on the street: it was a large wooden box with some pictures on it, and the surface of the box was inlaid with eight lenses. While playing the gongs and singing songs, the people who set up the stalls turned the pictures inside, and asked the audience to watch the pictures inside through the lens. Some lenses even have two pieces of red and green, which can cause a pseudo three-D effect.
The rotating device in the box can be found by the carpenter who made his grandfather's hospital bed. How about drawing... He has also been studying the hard drive in his brain for a long time. The only thing that is bad is this lens.
Thinking about the future experience of sharing his own small picture with Xie Ying, the corners of his mouth twitched up unconsciously, and he said to several stewards, "The lens must be made of flawless white crystal, I want it Use it as a toy, and if you do it well, you will still have a chance to get in, so don’t be perfunctory.”
Several stewards heard that he was going to buy lenses, and they were worried that his eyesight at such a young age would affect his future. Hearing that he was going to make a toy, he was quietly relieved, no matter what he was going to do, he patted his chest and said, "When I go back, I will definitely ask the people who buy it to keep it in mind, pick the best real crystal to buy, Never let them be deceived!"
When I go back, I will take the guys to the largest jewelry store in Beijing to see the fineness of the fine crystals. If you can't buy the same quality crystals in the south, don't worry!
Several stewards wrote down the purchase plan for the beginning of the year, handed in a thick annual summary, and went back to work with a passion. Cui Xie asked the shopkeeper Ji and Cui Qi to come to a meeting to study the construction of the Anzhai branch in Nanjing.
Nanjing is the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, a prosperous and prosperous place, and the center of the gathering of talents in the south. Their books from Ju Anzhai have been sold all over Beijing. The next step is to develop the Jiangnan market, so that future talents such as Tang Bohu, Zhu Zhishan, Kang Hai, and Li Mengyang will read his books and grow up into official positions. In the future, they will develop into The screenwriter under their study.
It's like the current Yang Ting and the bosses and Wang Zhuangyuan and Liang Zhuangyuan.
Now that this group of bigwigs has slowly become an official of the ministry, the head of the inner chamber, Zaifu, there is not so much time to write manuscripts, and the next generation of Jiangnan's four great talents and the first seven sons should also enter the official career, and recruit him into him. The series of Jinyiwei comics and drama series.
And the Southern Opera does not have only four acts like the Northern Opera, and it can be added along with the plot, just like the difference between a TV series and a movie - their Jinyiwei Zaju can also be adapted into a 70-act Jinyiwei Continuous Southern Opera!
Jiangnan talents can write operas to some extent, among them Kang Hai, the leader of the former seven sons, is a famous playwright who wrote "The Wolf of Zhongshan". They, Ju Anzhai, are now selling imperial examination books and new jinshi experience collections in Nanjing. When these famous scholars see his books and get admitted to the Hanlin Academy, can they be embarrassed to refuse his invitation as the editor-in-chief of a half division
It's just that they don't take the face of reference books, and they have stayed in Qingshui Yamen like the Hanlin Academy for a long time, can they still refuse the temptation of getting a rich and rich pen
cant!
The branch store must be opened, so the shopkeeper Ji took the initiative to say: "Many of our shop staff often travel to the south, but when it comes to opening a store in a new place, it's not that easy. Why don't I go with Xiaoer? , first open the situation and then slowly pick people from the bottom..."
Now at the old shop, Cui Yuan has made it easy, and without the help of Fang Fang, he asked Fang Fang to come to Beijing to help Cui Qi stare, so that Ju An Zhai in Beijing will not be in chaos, and their father and son are freed up just in time. Nanjing.
Cui Xiesi paused for a while and asked, "Is the shopkeeper Ji healthy? The south is wet and cold, and the weather in the past is easy to cause leg problems. It is better to let the shopkeeper Ji follow the boat first, and the Zhuangzi will also choose a few people to take care of it. Bian Xin bought a farm, and when the time comes, there will be someone selected by the shopkeeper Liu to help him, and you are all from the Liu family..."
The shopkeeper Ji was still uneasy, feeling that although his son could manage a branch here, after all, there were few booksellers in the north, and there was an official owner to rely on, so it was easy to do anything. In the south, the customs and customs are completely different from those in the north, and there are many booksellers. He was afraid that he would not be able to open up the situation when he went to Nanjing alone, and he would miss the business of the host.
At this point, Cui Xie actually doesn't really care about making money or not, and what he wants to earn is already a talented and famous person in the world. He thought about it a little, and still said to the storekeeper Ji: "Beijing still can't do without you, so I asked the storekeeper Xiaoji to bring a few capable men, skilled workers and imperial examination books to carve blocks, and along with the Cui family's few I will go to Nanjing on a big boat that is rented by the store. When I get there, I will book a good house. If I can sell the book, I will sell it. If I can't sell it, I will build a library like I did in Qian'an. Books, and then set up a separate book room in the library to sell books."
Jiangnan is rich, and if you want to come to the library to read good books, there will be many people who are willing to spend money to buy them. Even if the people who read it don't buy it, he can still afford a library, just like when he was in Qian'an, he made a public welfare cause, and he was branded as Cui Xie and Cui Zhuangyuan in the hearts of Jiangnan talents.
"Simply build a library for him first, and the name is titled 'Zhuangyuan Hall'. We donated it from the real champions, and we are not afraid that they will not come in and enjoy the culture. Ju Anzhai rents a yard next to the library, so that those reading books Well, anyone who wants to buy it and go back to read it can buy what they want - the Weijin Yiwei comic strip will be sold in the study first, and then it will be collected in the library every two months, so that those people can't help but watch the latest edition."
