The daily life of a charming girl who made a fortune in ancient times

Lin Ruyu heard that Zheng Changming was mentioned several times by Shen Ge, and she was no stranger to this person, but she was just curious why he suddenly came to visit her second uncle at home.

Second Master Lin proudly said, "I ran into Mr. Zheng when I was listening to books in Wanxiang Teahouse, and hit it off with him immediately."

Although Wanxiang Tea House is small and simple, Shen Ge spent a lot of money to hire a very eloquent storyteller, so it attracted many idlers who liked to listen to books.

Her second uncle and Zheng Changming, who came to pay his respects to the wife of the prefect, were rich and free.

The Lin family is a merchant, and the second uncle is a concubine. It is indeed a happy thing to be able to establish friendship with the son of the county magistrate.Lin Ruyu nodded with a smile, "Don't neglect the distinguished guest, Second Uncle, go quickly, and leave the rest to me."

"Okay, I'll go out and have a look."

Even though Er Ye Lin sang the main character in the play just now, the idea was thought up by the niece and the housekeeper, and the filming was done by the sister-in-law.After he sang and left, it was his niece's turn to play the leading role. It didn't matter if Er Master Lin was here or not. He also wondered why Zheng Changming suddenly came to him.

In terms of age, Lin Erye is 29 this year, and Zheng Changming is [-].In terms of identities, one of them is the concubine son of a businessman, and the other is the concubine son of an official family, so it is impossible to get together.Zheng Changming wanted to draw a picture of Lin Ruyu as a beauty, and deliberately approached Lin Ruyu to please Lin Erye. After getting together, he found that the two hit it off quite well, and it was only then that they found out that they really fell in love.

After being invited into the front hall of the Lin family, Zheng Changming directly explained the purpose of his visit, "Yesterday, my younger brother was eating wine in Fanghua Garden. I heard that the garden scenery in the second elder brother's mansion is not inferior to Fanghua Garden, so I came here today with the cheek."

Lin Erye said frankly, "My garden is far worse than Fanghua Garden. The reason why it is somewhat famous is because my old man liked strange stones when he was alive. He brought back two boats of stones from Taihu Lake and built a water stone in the garden. The landscape is still barely visible.”

Zheng Changming's eyes lit up when he heard the words, "Can you feast your eyes inside, little brother?"

Ruyu was discussing matters in the study in the front yard, Rumei went to study ethnology, and sister-in-law was recuperating in the room, so it was not inconvenient to go to the garden at this time.Second Master Lin nodded with a smile, "If you don't mind, young master, let's go to the garden for tea?"

"I don't dislike it, of course I don't dislike it." Second Master Lin was so happy, which made Zheng Changming very happy, and he followed him into the garden.

The garden in the Lin residence covers an area of ​​six acres. Although the mountains, rivers, pavilions, flowers, plants and trees are not as exquisite and luxurious as Fanghua Garden, it is ingenious and elegant everywhere, without the smell of merchants.

Not only did Zheng Changming sincerely praise this garden, which reveals the thoughts of the owner, but He Jiongming, the heir of Prince An who followed him, was also very satisfied.

If An Ziyuan's identity had not been discovered, this was where he stayed.

Lin Fang, the mistress of the Lin family, is the direct daughter of the Fang family in Mianzhou, and the Fang family is a wealthy family in Mianzhou. Even if the daughter she brought up is depraved and married into a merchant, she will not abandon the dignity of a noble daughter of the family.

No wonder, the Lin family was able to raise Lin Ruyu to be as clever and clever as a good daughter without any vulgar merchants.

He Jiongming raised his head and looked around for Lin Ruyu.

At this time, four bolts of fine silk were unfolded in the study in the front yard, which were peacock green, hibiscus red, day lily yellow and black.

The patches and strips of variegated colors on the plain fine silk were very eye-catching, and the shopkeeper of the silk and satin shop lowered his head, not daring to say a word.

Although the girl didn't say a word when she was dealing with the management of the shipyard just now, Lin Mao didn't dare to underestimate the eldest daughter of the eldest son of the Lin family.

Out of intuition, Lin Mao felt that the second master's uncharacteristically calm and sophisticated today must have something to do with Lin Ruyu.The mistress handed over the seal and retreated behind the scenes. The second master and the girl who held the seal were actually led by a 14-year-old girl, and the second master who was nearly [-] years old was the assistant.

It sounds like a joke, but at this moment Lin Mao feels that he is more like a joke.

These old fellows who have been in charge and shopkeepers in the Lin family business for decades thought that the Lin family would not be able to do business without them.Therefore, even if they made a mistake, the master's family will be fined for at most two months, and will not be severely punished.

But just now, Lin Kui's ten-year job as the treasurer of the shipping company is gone.His own son sent him off when he said he would send him off.

The action of the master's family made Lin Mao clearly understand who is the master and who is the slave in the Lin family's business.

The 14-year-old head of the Lin family, Lin Ruyu, raised her hand to look at the silks and satins on the table.The fabrics purchased at a high price are smooth and soft to the touch, and they are indeed top-grade.

Lin Ruyu thought of the bohemian style of later generations, but it was a pity that men and women in Daxia were still dressed in plain colors.The flowers on the woman's clothes are also embroidered, and they are exquisite and beautiful.

Clothes made of dyed variegated cloth cannot be sold for a high price.Therefore, these fine silks are either sold at a low price, or sold in other ways.

Lin Ruyu asked, "How does Uncle Mao plan to sell these two hundred bolts of fine silk?"

Lin Mao immediately said, "The villain thinks that we can resell it to merchants in the Western Regions, or use our sea-going ships to sell it overseas. The customs of the overseas and Western Regions are very different from those of Daxia, so we may be able to sell it at a higher price."

perhaps?

Lin Ruyu asked, "Resell to a merchant, how much can one sell for?"

Lin Mao replied, "The villain has already asked the merchant for the price, 15 taels a piece. Although the price is a bit lower, it is better than keeping it in the warehouse."

The longer the silk is left, the worse the color will be, and the lower the price will be.

Lin Mao continued, "After being transported to overseas countries by sea ships of our company, how much money you can sell depends on luck."

Lin Ruyu nodded, she also thought of these two things.In addition, her ideas of using these fabrics to make silk flowers and landscape paintings were all rejected by the second aunt and the maids in the house.

Now, there is only one thing left to try, "Uncle Mao thinks, how about making these fine silks into screens or curtains?"

this……

Lin Mao, who had just been killed as an example to others, did not dare to say no directly, and said euphemistically, "The girl's idea is really good, but these days, the embroiderers in the village are rushing to sew winter clothes, and the fastest way is to cut and sew screens and curtains." Next month. Fortunately, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, there will be Double Ninth Festival, Sub-year-old and New Year, so there is no need to worry about selling good things.”

Breaking it down into pieces, a piece of cloth might not be worth 20 taels of silver.He has said what should be said, if the girl insists on her own way, no matter how much money she loses, the mistress will not blame him.

"There is no need for the embroiderer of our silk and satin village to make it." Lin Ruyu told Yunjuan, "Go and see where the second uncle and Mr. Zheng are. If it is convenient, please come back for a while."

Second Master Lin was quickly invited back, and Lin Ruyu told his second uncle about his plan, and handed him a three-foot long day lily yellow silk dyed.

Second Master Lin found his niece's idea very interesting, "Young Master Zheng will not refuse such an elegant matter, Jiaojiao is waiting for the good news from Second Uncle!"

After Lin Erye happily left with the fine silk, Lin Mao came back to his senses after a while, and his sorrow was swept away. If the girl can succeed in this plan, the dyed fine silk on the table will surely recoup the cost!
Now that the capital has been recovered, can his son be given a lighter punishment?

The more Lin Mao thought about it, the more excited he became, he bowed and saluted, and said respectfully, "Girl, can you leave the planning and preparation of the Chongyang Poetry and Painting Bazaar to the villain?"
