Long live Emperor Wu!

Chapter 275 Coriander

Seeing how defensive and frightening he was, you, the barbarian, quickly leaned back as if to hide something and said:

"My guess is that our owner's wife is called Mrs. Coriander to the outside world, and only our owner calls her Arthurs.

Since two years ago, our wife has told her that if anyone comes from Chang'an and comes to see her using Arthur's name, he must tell her immediately. "

Yan Wei's eyes softened.

Wu Rou also laughed after hearing this and said with a sigh:

"She is still so cautious and meticulous."

When the barbarian heard this, he immediately put on a smile again and said:

"Our wife is not here at the moment. She has gone to the shop on the street to do the accounting. You guys will follow me first and go to the backyard to rest for a while. I will go and invite you right now. You will be there in a moment."

Wu Rou turned around and asked Li Shan, who was looking around with a smile:

"Kuroro, do you want to wait? Or come back later?"

Li Shan withdrew his gaze and said:

"Wait a moment. I've never seen this Hu man's silk and satin shop. I want to take a look around."

The barbarian saw that the young man was dressed in a noble manner, with half of his face hidden in his hood and cloak.

At this time, he raised his face and looked around. He looked handsome and calm, his eyes were very clean, and he was curious like a child.

The Hu people thought that this must be the son of a high-ranking official who did not often travel among the people, so they said enthusiastically:

"Okay, okay, I'll send someone to fetch the madam later, and then I'll take a few of you around, as long as you don't mind the chaos in the village."

Wu Rou reached out and took Li Hong's hand, and together with Li Shan, she followed the foreigner through the front yard and into the backyard.

The traders who passed by were all busy. Even if someone was curious, they just glanced at them and went on to do their business.

This silk and satin cloth shop is quite large. The front yard is for loading and unloading, the front is a shop for displaying goods, and the right is the warehouse. Turning in from the corridor on the left is the backyard where you usually live.

Although it is cleaner than the front one, in the living room, you can still hear the faint noise from the front one.

The barbarian led the man into the front hall where the guests were waiting. Before he could speak, he saw several guards quickly patrolling the entire main hall, and the remaining people naturally occupied the position at the door.

The young master also sat on the main seat very dignifiedly, and the lady took the opportunity to sit next to her with her child.

All this was done in one go, so naturally that the barbarian guy was stunned for a moment.

Although it is said that the status of merchants in the Tang Dynasty is the lowest, especially compared with the official families, they are several levels lower.

But when ordinary people come, they are polite and polite, and they have to give way two or three times before they can take the seat of honor.

This young man looks very young, only in his early twenties, why... he's not even polite?

However, after all, he is a distinguished guest of the owner’s wife, so he doesn’t care.

"You two, wait here for a moment. I'll send someone and I'll be back in a moment." The Hu man bowed and said, turned around and left.

When he came to the door, he took a look at the two rows of guards guarding the door like door gods. He suddenly trembled a little and felt like he was following the court. He quickly ran away with his feet quickly.

……

……

Arthurs, now Mrs. Coriander.

Sijichun Silk and Satin Shop mainly deals with large-scale business leading to the Western Regions, although for those who only do local business, her stall is already big enough.

But for a businessman who sells goods to the Western Regions, the size of her family can only be said to be quite satisfactory.

After all, the journey to the Western Region is long and requires crossing vast deserts. It takes a long time and is arduous. The losses are very serious. If you want to make money, you have to win with quantity.

If Buzhuang doesn't have enough goods at one time, it won't be fun at all.

Arthur's head was full of blond hair, but it was styled like a woman from the Tang Dynasty. She looked particularly charming and beautiful. She closed her account book and said to the shopkeeper:

"There are not many goods this season. The price of fabrics from now on will be increased by 20%."

The shopkeeper was a Han Chinese and was very surprised when he heard that he said:

"If the price goes up, you won't be able to sell it, right? The momentum is great today, otherwise, I'll go buy some more elsewhere."

Arthur said very neatly:

"No, I don't expect your shop to make much money. It's just used to seduce those merchants from the Western Regions and earn reputation. The key is to maintain the quality and not ruin the sign. You can raise the price, but you can't sell it. I can’t sell it anymore, I’ve already made a lot of money this year.”

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper quickly leaned over and said, "Yes."

While we were talking, a waiter came outside and said when he came in:

"Madam, Hari said, someone from Chang'an is looking for you. He seems to be of high status. I want you to go back and see if he is the person you are waiting for."

Arthur was originally very solemn and dignified. After hearing this, he immediately stood up from the chair, his blue eyes lit up with excitement, and asked:

"Really?! How many people are here and what do they look like?"

The person who came to deliver the message was stunned by the question and couldn't answer for a while.

Seeing this, Arthur walked out hurriedly and said:

"Hey, I'm asking you what you're doing. You'll know if you go and see it."

The little maid waiting at the back quickly packed up the account books for her, and the group got into the carriage and rushed to Cloth Village.

……

……

Arthur arrived home in a hurry and walked to the backyard without stopping. When anyone greeted her on the way, she just said "Hey" and didn't even stop.

But when he arrived at the hall, he saw no one, so he turned around and asked:

"What about people?"

A little slave guarding near the door ran over and said:

"The young master said that he had never seen the cloth shop, so Hali took a few distinguished guests to the yard on the right to see the dyeing of silk."

Arthur was confused for a moment, and suddenly felt a little disappointed - why is he the young master?

Could it be that Wu Rou sent the father-in-law from the palace here?

She thought for a while, put down the disappointment on her face, led the people through the courtyard gate, and walked to the right.

The silk-dying pool was steaming, and many people were busy beside the pool.

From a distance, through the diffuse steam and crowds, Arthurs saw Wu Rou's figure at a glance.

She was wearing the clothes of a folk woman, with her hair in a simple bun. Her hair was the same as before, with only a simple hairpin and a red hairband.

I saw her holding a cute child in her hand. As she walked, she bent down with a smile on her face, pointed at things around her, and said something.

Compared with the Wu Rou in her memory, she was plumper than before, and her whole body seemed much softer. Her eyes could see happiness.

Because of his excitement and memories, Arthur froze on the spot for a long time and did not come back to his senses until the maid behind him asked:

"Madam, is this the person you are waiting for?"

Arthur's tears suddenly came down and he said:

"Yes."

Then she hurried over and everyone in Wu Rou's group also saw her.

When the barbarian Hali saw this, he pointed at Arthur from a distance and said:

"Our Lady Coriander is here."
