"But the Yuezhi silk sells well here, so we can't intentionally restrict them, right? Although the Yuezhi country is a small country, it belongs to Daqi, but the mutual benefit of the two countries' trade in the border area is also approved by the emperor."

"It's not to restrict them, but to support our local workshops to compete with them. When my bridesmaid went to buy cloth a few days ago, the shop owner strongly recommended Yuezhi silk, and we also thought that the silk was good and the price was not expensive. I bought it without hesitation, and naturally didn't think too much about it at the time. Of course, the common people, like us, thought it was good, so they bought it." Lin Xueman couldn't help but sat up and said, "But From the perspective of Yuzhou’s parents and officials, you can’t say that our local weaving industry has been crushed by the Yue clan, but you think it’s the quality of other people’s cloth, and our cloth poor? You have to take some measures, right?”

"You mean to let the government come forward to balance the situation?" Xiao Chengyu said knowingly.

"Of course, didn't you say before that besides farming, the people in Yuzhou City mainly rely on weaving and burning charcoal for their livelihood?" Lin Xueman looked at him and said solemnly, "You think, Huatuanjin has had a hard time in recent years. With some fame, people with status and status came to Yuzhou to buy it, and even Princess Nalan knew about the flower brocades in Yuzhou."

Speaking of Princess Nalan, she paused for a moment, then said calmly, "Although they are here for the brocade, they can't just buy the brocade and leave, right? They must still eat and live. Do you still want to play? In this way, other consumptions will also be brought up, and Yueshi Silk will continue to develop like this. One day, it will become famous like Huatuanjin. Although it can also drive these consumptions, it is not ours after all. For the local industry, we must keep the Huatuanjin brand, even if we can’t keep the Huatuanjin’s fine-quality satin, we must keep the sales of ordinary Huatuanjin in the Yuzhou market.”

Xiao Chengyu frowned upon hearing this.

He really didn't think so much about the matter of the Hua family, he thought he had settled the matter of Juntian.Even if the merits and virtues are consummated....

"I see. I will take this matter to heart. I will visit the Hua family tomorrow and listen to what they have to say." Xiao Chengyu said in a deep voice.

"Go! Let's split up tomorrow. I'll go to Yuemanlou to meet Mrs. Liu, and I'll go to the street to see how much Yueshi silk has arrived. Then I'll find out how other silks are selling." Lin Xueman said confidently , she turned her head to look at Xiao Chengyu, saw that he was silent, seemed to be thinking about something, she couldn't help chuckling, it turns out that's how the wind blows beside the pillow...

"You? Forget it! You play your game. I will handle this matter myself." He turned over and faced her.She chuckled softly, "Go to sleep!" She responded, and the two of them fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, the sun was still shining, and Lin Xueman went to Yueman Building as scheduled. Mrs. Liu was already waiting for her downstairs!

"I came to Yueman Building for the singing and dancing on the third floor. Who would have imagined it? It has already been booked." In the hall downstairs, Mrs. Liu listened to the music of silk and bamboo from the third floor. , looked at Lin Xueman with some regret, and said, "After a while, when we return to the capital, we won't be able to spend the full moon this month."

Lin Xueman looked at the teahouse on the opposite side, had an idea in her mind, and said with a smile, "Since we can't see the singing and dancing, then I will invite my sister-in-law to drink tea at the teahouse opposite."

"Forget it! I've already sat down!" Mrs. Liu looked up at her, "I'm just talking casually, it doesn't matter where you sit.

"Let's go! It's good to get up and move around." Lin Xueman took her hand involuntarily and stood up.

"Alright then!" Mrs. Liu couldn't resist her, so she followed her out and entered the teahouse opposite.

"Two ladies, please come inside." The owner of the teahouse greeted him with a smile on his face. This teahouse looks like it has been around for many years, and the tables and chairs inside look very old, giving people a very vicissitudes of life.

There is a faint tea fragrance in the air, refreshing the heart and lungs.

"We like to be quiet, so we have to go to the third floor." Could it be the Yuezhi people?Lin Xueman couldn't help but sized up the boss, and saw that his brows and eyes were curved and his face was kind.

"Please go upstairs, both of you." The owner of the teahouse looked at the two people in disbelief. They were so bulky that they still went to the third floor.

"How is it? Can you see it?" The two found a seat near the window and sat down. Lin Xueman opened the window a little, looked at the Yueman Building opposite, and asked.

The sun shone straight in, casting a halo in front of the two of them.

"Well, I can see that it's similar to our dance that day." Mrs. Liu smiled, and pointed to one of the third floors opposite, "Look, isn't that person a silk seller? Is there something urgent? We have to go to the third floor to talk."

"It's really him." Lin Xueman glanced towards the opposite side, and when he saw the other person clearly, he was surprised, it turned out to be Zhao Ziliang!

The two seemed to be talking very happily, laughing from time to time, and they seemed to be very familiar with each other.

"You know that person?" Mrs. Liu was a little surprised.

"I went to his shop to buy silk." Lin Xueman saw another person walking in on the third floor opposite, he was still a young man, so she said calmly.

"Did you go to his store to buy Yueshi silk? I heard that Yueshi silk is very popular recently!"

"Well, the texture of that kind of fabric is good, and it has the same effect as Huatuanjin."

"That's right, there is indeed a similarity, because the young man who came in is a playboy, the young owner of Huatuanjin Workshop, now, do you understand?" Mrs. Liu picked up the tea on the table and took a sip , chuckled and said, "It's hard to guard against house thieves!"

"So that's how it is!" Lin Xueman was taken aback when she heard the words, so Yuezhi silk is just a branch of Huatuanjin?Just a name change?

"It seems that my brother and sister have never been to the Yuezhi country. The silk in the Yuezhi country is not like this. People there like bright colors, and they often match them with bright red and green, and the colors are piled up in disorder, which is dazzling. And we Daqi people like more elegant designs and colors, how could we like the silk of the Yuezhi Kingdom? When I came here to take a look, I knew that these so-called Yuezhi silks in Yuzhou were woven in imitation of the local brocade. " Mrs. Liu said disapprovingly. "Half a year ago, I found out that the young owner of the Hua family often went to Yuemanlou, and was very familiar with the Yuezhi people. I knew there was something tricky in it, and today I really saw it!"

"So, Hua Tuan Jin did not withdraw from Yuzhou City, but reappeared as Yueshi Silk?" Lin Xueman was surprised, "It's just why the Hua family did this? If this is the case, won't their business be affected?" gone?"

"I don't think the old man of the Hua family knew about this matter. That young man did it all by himself. Do you think that if there is no benefit, he would reveal his ancestral skills to outsiders?" Mrs. Liu seemed to have seen the whole incident for a long time. It was very thorough, and what she said was clear and logical.He chuckled again, "Master Hua must not have passed on the craftsmanship of Huatuanjin's exquisite brocade to Young Master Hua, or else the Yuezhi silk in Yuzhou City would have already had new designs."

"That's right." Lin Xueman smiled.

The two sat for a while, chatted for a few words, and then got up and left.

Presumably Xiao Chengyu will not gain anything if he goes to Hua's house, right?Lin Xueman was thinking while listening to the music of silk and bamboo from Yuemanlou.

florist.Hall.

The windows are bright and clean, and a square piece of brocade hangs above the huge desk.The flowers, plants, birds and insects embroidered on it are lifelike, thickly painted with sketches, and matched appropriately.

There is also a flower tree in the middle of the room. If you look closely, it is actually made of intertwined silk flowers of various colors, and the color is gorgeous.Graceful.

It really is a brocade family!

"Father, why are you calling me back in such a hurry? I heard that the magistrate has come? What is he doing here?" Hua Tianrong hurried in from the outside and asked.The brocade on his body was shining brightly, as if a pool of water was gently rippling, and the lotus flowers on it seemed to be swaying with the wind.

"Look carefully, what is this?" Mr. Hua threw a piece of silk in front of him with a livid face, and said sharply, "You eat things from the inside out, and my Hua family's ancestral property will be ruined in your hands sooner or later."

"What? Isn't this the Yueshi silk?" Hua Tianrong saw his father's face changed with anger, and said a little guilty, "What does it have to do with me?"

"What does it have to do with you? This is obviously a skill passed down from my Hua family's ancestors, but you have passed it on to outsiders. Are you trying to piss me off?" Seeing his indifference, Mr. Hua couldn't help shouting angrily, "Hua Fu , take the family law, I want to teach this rebellious son a good lesson."

"Master." The people around were a little embarrassed.

"Sir, why are you so angry if you have something to say?" A woman hurried out from the inner room, took the piece of silk, looked at it carefully, and persuaded, "The skill of weaving in this world They are all similar, if we can weave it, others can weave it too, why should we say our family's skills?"

"That's right! Dad, why do you say it's me? Maybe it's the eldest brother!" Hua Tianrong hid behind his mother and said unconvinced.

"You still dare to be stubborn. The skills of the two of you brothers are handed down by me. If I take a random piece of cloth, I will know who weaved it. These Yueshi silks are obviously from your hands."

"What did the magistrate tell you? Are you treating me so relentlessly? Did he see it?"

"Hmph! People don't care about these things! He just heard that we opened a shop in the capital, and there are no brocades in the market these days, so he came to ask, and said that Yueshi's silk was selling well. It is similar to Huatuanjin, just let our Huatuanjin go on the market as soon as possible." Mr. Hua said bitterly, "I have heard of this Yueshi silk before, and I have asked you many times, but you always hold back He vaguely said that this kind of silk is mediocre, and brought back a piece of colorful fabric for me to see, saying that it was Yuezhi silk, dare you lie to me all this time?"

"I didn't lie to you. The colorful fabric is indeed Yuezhi silk. Besides, I did this not for the good of the family. I contribute my skills, others contribute their labor and effort, and we have a share of the money we earn. It’s so much easier for us to weave ourselves!”

"You prodigal son, you have done stupid things, and you are still plausible here, see if I don't kill you." Old man Hua blushed with anger, and he picked up a chicken feather marble from one side and hit him head-on and face-to-face.

"Mother, save me." Hua Tianrong dodged and shouted.

The Hua family was in a mess. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
