People in Datang, start with a golden hoe

After the guests came in, under the guidance of the waiter and the girl from Yingchunlou, they started the first process of the ceremony, visiting the workshop.

The outermost part of the workshop is the two-story building.The first floor is decorated with a cultural atmosphere. The names of workers are hung on the left wall, and poems are hung on the right. Behind the screen in the center is a place to receive customers.Against the background of flowers and plants, there is a unique and quiet atmosphere.

"Not bad," Lu Shiyu praised. Although Jia Xiaoxiao, who was following her, didn't know anything about architecture, she had a strict upbringing and had mainstream aesthetics. "It's not like a businessman's workshop!"

There are only a few people who can appreciate the poems on the first floor, and not many people stop there.The stairs are on the right, and the crowd follows the greeting guests upstairs.

A lot of thought was put into the layout of the second floor. The best-dyed cloth these days is hung on the ceiling, split into two at the beam, colorful and full of drape.The surrounding walls are all hung with cotton cloth, with different colors and textures.One side is pure white, with prepared pen and ink underneath, and a bamboo ladder on the side.

"What is this?" Boss Jia at the front asked curiously.The people around him were equally curious and had interesting expressions on their faces.

"Oh! Leave a poem wall! Today, my boss invited students from official schools, doctors, and a few talented Confucian scholars in case they are interested in poetry." Most of the people in this group were businessmen. When they heard this, they were stunned. Not interesting.After admiring the quality of the cotton fabric, I hurried downstairs to visit the workshop at the back.

The second group consisted mainly of cloth and garment shop owners. Under the leadership of Li Laoliu, they criticized the cotton fabrics from beginning to end. Their words were so unpleasant that even the receptionists who were used to fake smiles were secretly angry.

"Haha, the texture of this cotton cloth is too rough. It is worse than the cloth used by wealthy people in Shenjing to wipe their buttocks." Li Laoliu smiled and continued: "I once went to Li Guogong's house and used it. When I go back to their bathroom, they wipe their butts with a cloth of this quality."

The insult is self-evident.The people around him all agreed with his statement and reduced the cotton to worthless.But it was clear from their clenched fists that they were not as calm as they appeared.

The waiters and receptionists on the second floor couldn't stand it any longer, so they sent someone down to call Cai Xiaolan to give this group of ungrateful and ungrateful people a bit of a look.

The gate of Huansha Hall ushered in its glorious moment.

The boy who called the roll almost broke his throat when he sang: "The governor of Yangzhou Prefecture has arrived, and I will give you a pair of white jade lions as a congratulatory gift..."

"Master Lu, the head of the Ministry of Etiquette, is here to give you hundreds of congratulatory gifts..."

A thousand questions popped up in Cai Xiaolan's head, "Why did two Master Lu appear?"

She went outside and knelt on the ground.It was at this time that she realized that there was really more than one level of difference between officials and people.Sheng Dou Xiaomin, when the workshop opened, invited high officials to the scene, which was just a joke.

"Two adults, please follow me." Cai Xiaolan led the way.She actually knew the two Master Lus. One was Lu Qingyun, the governor, and the other was Lu Yong, Cui Lu's younger brother and Cui Le's lackey.

Lu Qingyun didn't want to come.

He had previously replied to a letter to Cui Lu, telling her some information about picking Xiaolan, and especially mentioned the obstruction of some powerful people in Yangzhou City during the preparation of the cotton cloth workshop.I want to use this to show my merit.

When Cui Lu received the letter, she was extremely excited.But after hearing Cai Xiaolan talk about cotton, she suddenly fell into the trivial details of her difficult life in the past, crying all day long.

Lu Yong couldn't see his sister being like this, so he took the initiative to accept the errand of the Ministry of Rites, saying that he would go to see her for her and resolve the obstacles, and then he coaxed Cui Lu into peace.But when Lu Yong told Cui Le about the matter, he was criticized by him. "Nonsense, how can one person defeat a group? Besides, those monopoly merchants have no one behind them. How dare he do this? You, you don't know how to think clearly before doing something."

Lu Yong did something bad with good intentions and was in a bad mood, but he didn't dare to object, "Brother Le, I owe it to my sister. Just let me go to Yangzhou for a tour. The current governor is a nephew of the clan, so he should give Some face."

"Go!" Cui Le waved his hand gently, feeling in a mess.There have been a lot of worries recently, but the boss and the second child are okay. With his help, they have a serious job to do, and they are getting paid, so they have no worries about life.As for the third child, he was No. 5 in the palace examination last year. Under his operation, he entered the Hanlin Academy.During the year, I often made trouble with him.He said that the Hanlin Academy was too busy and wanted to be an official.

What he said sounded worse every time.

Just before Lu Yong came in, he had a fight with him.

……

Cai Xiaolan called two courtesans to accompany her and led the two Masters Lu to visit Huansha Hall.In the poetry section on the first floor, the two of them could still say something, but when they got to the second floor, they simply stopped talking.

When going downstairs, Lu Yong specifically asked Cai Xiaolan to take a piece of cloth back to Cui Lu.

Cai Xiaolan nodded in agreement and skipped the visit to the production area behind.Please ask the two oirans to take the two adults to the rest area nearby to sit and have a rest.

Shangguan was the core wherever he went. The government officials who came first, as well as the big businessmen who could speak before the governor, all gathered at the edge of the rest area.Waiting for the opportunity to say a few more words to the two adults.

Cai Xiaolan herself hid on the side of the road, waiting for the old doctor's motorcade.The old doctor was not a procrastinator, so he advanced the time on the invitation by two moments and arrived at the scene.

When Cai Xiaolan saw the old doctor walking slowly with a cane, she burst out laughing, "You're here, please come inside!"

The old doctor had a bit of face. Although Lu Qingyun had a higher official rank than him and Lu Yong was on the same level as him, they all stood up when they saw the old doctor come in.

"Mr. Wang, doctor Ankang!" Lu Qingyun handed over first.Lu Yong took a step slower, still drew a scoop on the gourd, and said hello.

"You two gentlemen are very polite. I have long since retired from Imperial Hospital and am not worthy of the title of sir." He said politely, but his posture showed no signs of stage fright. He accepted the courtesy from the two of them calmly and returned the courtesy with just a slight nod. head.

who is he?The people around the emperor.The identity of the imperial physician was suddenly higher than that of other officials.Besides, he's retired.

"Are you two here to help Xiaolan cut the ribbon? What did this girl say that no one - no one, call me here. They have already invited two of them, and they even asked me, an old man, to run back and forth." After the old doctor sat down, , talk to the two.

When the businessmen on the side heard what the old doctor said, they murmured in their hearts for a long time.Whether they are familiar or unfamiliar, they are all surprised.How much energy does this woman named Xiaolan have to hire so many capable people?

It didn't take long for Lu Qingyun to ask the questions in his heart for them. After he put down a cup of tea, he said slowly: "Mr. Wang, I'm being rude. A few days ago, I called a brother from the engineering department to fix this little Building. Knowing that you have this relationship, I will definitely ask them to build another floor of the building!"
