Red makeup against the world

Chapter 486 Expansion of Business
5 taels of silver!Mrs. Fu had never seen so much money in her entire life.

When she was not out of the cabinet, her father had an upright temper, refused to accept bribes, and offended many people.Compared with Beijing officials of the same rank, the family's life is not well-off.Fortunately, my mother has shares with the second aunt, so that she can support her appearance and prevent the scene from being ugly.

When she went to the party of noble ladies, the jewelry she wore was inferior to others.At that time, Mrs. Fu secretly swore that she would live better than them all in the future.

Became a lofty princess, gold, silver and jewels are at your fingertips.But most of these come from the rewards from the father, the queen, and when the prince is in a good mood, he will take her to the warehouse for her to choose.

Fu's own money at his disposal is dowry, where has he seen so much money?

The huge profits dazzled her eyes and lost her heart.Forcibly suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, Fu once again urged: "It must be done seamlessly."

Mrs. Liu agreed, and Mrs. Fu asked a few more questions before letting her and shopkeeper Yu leave.

After the two left, Mrs. Fu stared at the people who were busy going back and forth outside, and then went out to continue packing the prince's luggage.After working for two full hours, it was finally tidied up.

In such a sweltering weather, after being busy for so long, Mrs. Fu couldn't stand it.Back in the room, he lay down on the couch to rest, not wanting to move his fingers.

Shui Lan made tea and came in, served her to drink, then stood behind and held her shoulders.

"Princess Concubine, when I went to the front yard to pick up books, I saw Wang Miaoyan was also packing her luggage." Seeing her so tired, Shui Lan hesitated for a while before telling what she saw just now.

"What?" Mrs. Fu sat up all of a sudden, was stunned for a moment, then collapsed, waved her hand weakly and said, "Forget it, let her go!"

In her mind, Wang Miaoyan's bloody body was flashed that day, and she shivered deeply.

From the first day she saw the prince, Fu knew that she couldn't control him, let alone dared to control him.Even though the prince was unparalleled in beauty, in front of him, Mrs. Fu could only be cautious, not daring to look at him more.

Now there is such a person who can let the prince vent his anger, it would be great.If the crown prince wants her to go along with him for disaster relief, she can just go and pretend not to see it.Fortunately, she has a son by her side, her position is stable, and she has never thought about the relationship between husband and wife.

This feeling of powerlessness made Fu even more concerned about the 5 taels of silver he was about to get.

……

Nanshi, Splendid Story.

Shopkeeper Yu tapped lightly a few times, and Xu Wenmin's voice came from inside: "Come in."

The Xu family's business in Beijing gradually spread out, and the original room in Jinxiuji was not enough.This is an open room, which was tidied up not long ago, divided into two rooms inside and outside.When Xu Wenmin is not going out, he always looks over accounts and handles affairs in this room.

There are two full bookshelves in the outer room, containing books such as laws and account books.In the middle of the room is a large huanghuali desk, complete with pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and two stacks of the latest account books are stacked on it.

There is an Arhat bed with bedding in the room, where you can take a lunch break.

Shopkeeper Yu walked around a screen of four nanmu and primrose colors. Xu Wenmin, who was behind the desk, saw him, stopped writing, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Back to Eldest Young Master, there is news from the palace." After speaking, he respectfully presented the official document in his hand.

Xu Wenmin took a look and said with a smile, "I didn't expect it to be so fast."

It is an official document issued in the name of the palace's internal province. The Jinxiu Ji supplies two hundred silk fans and two hundred silk flowers to the palace every ten days, and pays in the next ten days.

A page of details is attached at the back, clearly stating the specifications and sizes of the silk fans and silk flowers.

Since it is for the royal family, these small items have to follow the rules.What size and color thread should be used by the queen, and other concubines have different regulations at different levels.Most of them are reserved for court ladies, let alone exceed the rules.

With so many people in the palace, there are only two hundred shares, so it is naturally impossible for everyone to have a share.It must be given to Empress Dowager Xiao and Empress Cao to choose first, and they will either keep it for themselves or reward others, and the rest of the clothing bureau will be given to the favored concubines.

"The supply will start in the second half of the year, and you are required to make a copy of the above. It has been hard these few days, and I went to the workshop in the eastern suburbs to watch. This is the first purchase in the palace, and things must be done beautifully. "

Shopkeeper Yu's expression was agitated, he didn't expect that after the young master was released from prison, he would expand his business so quickly that he would actually be connected to the palace.

Although the supply of small objects used by these women cannot obtain the qualifications issued by the Imperial Merchant, it is of great help to the Jinxiuji business.

It was originally a luxury item that ordinary people could not afford. Before Princess Zhaoyang used silk flowers as hairpins twice, it attracted madams to snap it up.If they really entered the palace, even the flowers on the hairpins of the empress and concubines were all from the Book of Splendid Embroidery, so why not sell them?
"Young master, after the business in the palace is stable, the villain thinks that the workshop can be expanded. Sell this silk flower and silk fan to a rich place. In Jiangnan Road, although the property is gone, the contacts left by Mrs. Xu Still there."

Xu Wenmin nodded, just as he had the intention: "Shopkeeper Yu and I have thought about it together. Don't worry, do the things in front of you first."

After thinking about it, he said again: "Did you just put dozens of pieces of makeup brocade into storage yesterday? Pick one of each color and send it to Mr. He's residence."

He Jin is greedy for money and loves sex, he can speak well in the palace, and he is the most favorite person for businessmen to deal with.As long as he spares no profit and raises him respectfully, everything will be easy to handle.

……

In Jiashanfang, Xu's house.

Xu Wanzhen went to look in the big kitchen, saw three trays of steaming steamed buns with her own eyes, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Feng Xing's family, you bring a few wives with you, Xu Le'an from the outer court has arranged for a nursing home. Be careful on the road, don't burn anyone."

Feng Xing's family responded crisply, "Miss, don't worry, the kitchen is too hot, don't smoke you."

There are more and more refugees coming from the north these days, and the resettlement sites in Luoyang are getting more and more crowded.Some of the victims made their own way. In the deserted courtyards, land temples, and even on the side of wider alleys, they each built shelters to protect them from wind and rain, and the whole family struggled to survive.

In order to help these victims, the dignitaries in Beijing opened porridge shops and porridge factories one after another.

Dingding Gate runs through the axis of Tianjin Bridge, Imperial City, and Miyagi, and is the central axis of Luoyang City.Entering the city from Dingdingmen is the most important Dingdingmen Street in Luoyang City. The widest part reaches as much as 35 feet. Converted into a modern unit, it is more than 110 meters long.

The porridge factories opened by the four major kingdoms are all here.

On both sides of the street not far from the city, each family set up a five-foot-square shed, set up a big pot to cook steaming porridge.There is also a fire and a steamer in the shed, and when it is almost time for meals, cooking smoke starts to be emitted to steam the white flour steamed buns.
