Enter the Room

  Chapter 294

Song Jiyun didn't say anything yet, Qian frowned, and Song Jixue said quickly: "They must see that the eldest sister is now promising, so they came to make connections. Last time the eldest sister said that the matter of Taotang sister is out of our family's control At that time, she was not happy, and she went out of the eldest sister's yard and swore that she would never enter our house again."

   "Who told you?" Song Jiyun pinched Song Jixue's round face with a little baby fat, and said.

  Song Jixue hurriedly broke free from Song Jiyun, protected his face and said: "The little maid who was on duty at the door at that time heard it. We were afraid that you would be sad, so we didn't tell you."

After talking for a while, another little maid came over, saying that Mrs. Zeng learned that Song Jiyun was going to the capital soon, and asked Song Sanliang and Mrs. Li to accompany her to see Song Jiyun. The little maid said, "Zeng The master of the family is also sitting in the car. I heard that it was the third young master of the Zeng family who came back from outside with two concubines and three children. Now the young masters of the Zeng family are arguing about the division of the family! Master Zeng is here , must be looking for something to do for the third young master."

  When Song Erliang was alive, the Zeng family not only had their own workshop through the Songjia Kiln Factory, but also sold good porcelain from the Songjia Kiln Factory from time to time.

  Song Jixue snorted coldly and said, "They have a good idea!"

  Ms. Qian was worried about Song Jiyun's reputation, so he hesitated and said, "It's hard to see Grandmother."

  Song Jiyun didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile: "Then invite the eleventh uncle to entertain grandma, we are very busy here after all."

   Mrs. Qian understood, and asked someone to invite Mr. Song Shishi over.

  No one from their family came forward.

Song Jiyun and Zheng Quan went to the study room and talked about going to the capital: "He Dazhi and the others must be indispensable. The kiln factory just takes Zhou Zheng and Master Guo to go. If it's just to go to the manufacturing office to order the shape and design of the porcelain, it's okay to say. I'm afraid we want to burn things right away. We have to bring the master who built the kiln and the kaolin.

   "There is also the Xiong's side, and let someone send a letter.

   "Boss Xiong is a man of success. If you can't make up your mind about something, you can ask Mr. Xiong for advice."

  The two talked for a long time, and Zhou Zheng and others came over after receiving the letter.

  The people sat together again to discuss the trip to the capital. After being busy for seven or eight days, it would be too late if they didn't leave. Song Jiyun bid farewell amidst the reluctance of everyone, and boarded the boat to the capital.

   Song Jiyun followed Shao Qing to Nanjing before, and everything went smoothly, but this time it was even smoother than last time.

   Not only did no one stop them during the whole process, but also people came to visit Song Jiyun from time to time.

  Using Wang Hua's words: "It's probably a servant of the Wang family who went out. I know that I will accompany you to the capital. Come to say hello."

  Song Jiyun looked at a pile of name posts from Tongpan, Xiancheng, Zhubo, ambassadors, and Baihu at her hand. She was silent for a long time.

  In mid-April, they arrived at Xiaguan Wharf in Nanjing.

  Wang Hua asked her if she wanted to go ashore for a walk.

These days Song Jiyun didn't even go out of the cabin, and he either stared at the rolling river in a daze or lay in a daze all day long. Wang Hua tried to get fishing tools from the boatman several times and asked her to walk on the deck. Refused.

  Song Jiyun was still not interested. Seeing that many people changed ships after the ship docked and headed north, she asked Wang Hua, "Should we change ships?"

  Wang Hua shook his head with a smile, and said: "This is our own boat, so naturally we don't need to transfer. Those who need to transfer are mostly hired boats."

   Song Cuiyun was puzzled.

Wang Hua said with a smile: "The river also has its own rules. Each family lives on the river of each family. If it crosses the boundary, wouldn't it be stealing other people's jobs? What's more, most of the boatmen are only familiar with the river near their home and travel far. , who knows where is the undercurrent? Where is the rapids? It is easy to cause accidents."

  He Dazhi asked curiously: "Then how can the water transport ship go all the way unimpeded?"

  Wang Hua said with a smile: "Then do you know that water transportation is divided into Yangzhou Gang and Huai'an Gang?"

  He Dazhi shook his head, attracting Dai Sishi and others.

Wang Hua said with a smile: "When the water transport ship arrives in Yangzhou, the boatman at the boundary of Yangzhou is responsible for guiding the way. When it reaches Huai'an, the boatman at the boundary of Huai'an is responsible for guiding the way. There are three, and every time there is no one to decide on the helmsman in two or three years?"

  Don't talk about He Dazhi, even Song Jiyun opened his eyes and listened to Wang Hua's knowledge about the waterway. He didn't bring Zhou Zheng and the others into the city until evening.

   They traveled all the way, Nanjing is the most prosperous city, not to mention selling everything, there are also many rare things for sale. Song Jiyun thought that he didn't know who he would meet or what would happen when he went north. Although he brought a lot of treasured porcelain, he couldn't always give it away, so he specially asked Zhou Zheng to go to the city to buy some gifts. Unexpectedly, Wang Hua said that Yuan Yunzhong had already written a letter to the steward in Nanjing, and he had prepared a gift early in the morning, and asked Wang Hua to send someone to tell the steward when he arrived in Nanjing.

  He also sent a letter to Song Jiyun in a hurry, saying that the houses in the capital city have been settled, and he is looking for someone to help her find a place to burn a kiln. It is estimated that the craftsmanship that was called to Beijing by the Manufacturing Office this time will have to be shown in Beijing by then.

  Song Jiyun was relieved a lot, thinking that although he didn’t need to buy gifts anymore, since he came to Nanjing, he still had to let Zhou Zheng and the others go to broaden his horizons, and if there were rare things, he would buy some back.

   Zhou Zheng and the others were overjoyed, and urged Wang Hua, a local snake, to lead the way and ran to the Qinhuai River to play.

  Song Jiyun opened half of the window, and wrote in front of the desk the related matters of setting up a shop in the capital.

   Nowadays, the traffic is inconvenient, and it is not easy to go out. Jingdezhen has unique transportation conditions because of the imperial kiln factory, but it is rigidly self-sufficient, and few people are willing to go out. Since she went to the capital with all her troubles, she had to gain something.

  Xiang Zan stood beside her serving tea and water.

  Seeing her looking out from time to time, Song Jiyun couldn't help laughing and said, "We won't have to travel like this when we come back, and then you can take a good look around Nanjing."

  Xiang Zan smiled happily, and suddenly there was a commotion outside.

  There are many teachings and nine schools on the pier, and there are many people and affairs. Song Jiyun doesn't want to make troubles, and tries his best to restrain the people around him along the way. Hearing this, she told Xiangzan: "Go and close the window."

  Xiang Hairpin went away at the sound, but when she came back, she had a worried expression on her face, and dawdled by her side for a long time.

  Song Jiyun looked up with a smile and said, "What's wrong?"

  Xiang Zan hesitated and said: "Miss, I, I seem to have seen Mr. Hong. He was driven off by the boatman. He said he owed them the boat money."

  Song Jiyun was taken aback.

  Since the Hong family was ransacked, she hasn't heard from Hong Xi for a long time.

"I think Mr. Hong is still helping Mr. Hong!" Xiangzan said, "Mr. Hong seems to be sick, and his whole body is limply leaning on Mr. Hong, and he looks like he can't stand still. Hong Da No matter how much the young master begged the boatman, the boatman said he was afraid they would die on his boat."
