Fight the Giants

  Chapter 226 You are back

  After a few days of stop and go, the Mu family's convoy finally arrived in the capital.

  At the gate of the city, there are people waiting in line to enter the city. Some led their children and families, some carried burdens, some pushed carts, some drove ox carts and carriages, and some rode horses and donkeys.

   There are quite a few people like the Mu family who have carriages, horses, and luggage carts.

   Those who went out of the city and those who entered the city crowded into a pile at the gate of the city, entering and leaving slowly.

  Mu Yan rode in front of the team, moving slowly with the flow of people.

   "Master Hou, you've come back! My wife, madam, young ladies and gentlemen have been waiting for you a few days ago. Those who look forward to the stars and the moon can be counted as looking forward to Master Hou's return!"

   "How is home?" Zhang Fu raised the curtain of the car and asked the steward who came to pick him up.

   "Okay, everything is fine. Mrs. Tai ordered someone to clean up and down the house a few days ago, just waiting for Lord Hou to return to Beijing."

  There were quite a few servants from the Zhang family who came to pick them up, and there were also many servants in the car that Zhang Fu brought back from Beiping. At the gate of the city, apart from the Mu family motorcade, that is, the Zhang family motorcade attracted attention.

  Mu Yan glanced at the Zhang family, then looked at the attire of the servants and the badges of the horses and horses, and twitched the corners of his mouth.

  The Marquis of Xincheng, who has been guarding the northern gate for His Majesty, has returned to Beijing.

   Summon Kan Er: "Send a thank you gift to Huo's family tomorrow, and then tell her about the excitement in the city."

   "The excitement in the city?" Kan Er was at a loss.

  Mu Yan smacked towards the gate of the city.

  Kan Er looked over, the gate of the city was bustling with people, which bustling was the young master talking about?

  Li Yi was sometimes anxious about Kan Er's IQ, and motioned him to look over to the Zhang family: "Look at what the servants are wearing, and then look at the emblem on the carriage."

Signet? Kan Er took a closer look, and this time he understood.

   "Don't worry, young master, I will definitely talk to Mrs. Huo about this excitement. Do you want her not to come to the inner city?"

   "You just tell her that it's exciting."

   "Okay. Miss Huo is smart."

  Mu Xin was riding on Mu Yan's side, unable to speak, who is this little lady Huo? Could it be?

   "My second sister-in-law promised you a kiss?"

   "Eh? It's okay." Mu Yan realized that his face was hot.

   "Then this Miss Huo?"

   "Oh, fourth master, how old is my young master, are you talking about kissing now?" Kan Er stepped forward to interrupt.

"Your young master will be on the 15th of August, so it's time to say kiss. Na Cai, ask the name, Naji, Nazheng will take two or three years. Please ask for another period, welcome you personally, eighteen or nineteen years old, just right .”

  As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that Mu Yan had ridden his horse and headed to the city gate first.

   "Fourth Master, the city gate is open."

  Huo Xi returned to Mu's house two days earlier than Mu's, so he was very busy. Discuss the sales of this batch of goods with Yang Fu, shopkeeper Shen and others.

"As soon as the spices were transported back to the capital, I asked Zou Sheng to take his staff to Huai'an. I was going to wait for my boss to come back. After discussing with my boss, I will also go to Huai'an. Other foreign goods are stored in two shops. The sales are very good, and small vendors are vying to get the goods."

  Huo Xi nodded, and asked him about those foreign cloths.

"The sales are very good. When I heard that the cloth came from abroad, they all scrambled to buy it. The batch of green cloth was sold to the merchants, and it was sold in the city for two pairs. It is easy to sell, my boss Don't worry."

   If you get three or four dollars for a consistent price, you can sell it for two, and the profit margin is not small. Nodded: "That's good. I'm worried that the price is almost the same as the local green cloth price, and no one cares about it."

   "Have you ever heard that foreign monks can recite scriptures? When they heard that it was cloth from abroad, everyone rushed to buy it, so it was easy to sell."

  Huo Xi and Yang Fu heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this.

"In the past two days, shopkeeper Shen and my uncle have to bother to send some foreign cloth to He Baihu and Yan Qianhu. Let's see if there is any relationship, we will pick some foreign goods and send them. We still have to maintain with them Good relationship."

   "Okay, don't worry, my boss."

   "Don't worry, Xi'er, I'll choose the gift myself in a while."

  Huo Xi nodded, and asked how those saharas were dealt with.

"I transported some back to Qionghua Lane, and asked the women there to process them into thick felts of different sizes. I also hung a notice at the door of the shop to collect work. There were many female workers who came to receive work. After they made it, I Arrange to transport them to the north."

   "Those kingfisher feathers are only handed over to the women in Qionghua Lane to make velvet flowers and round fans. After a few days, I will collect them and let my master take a look."

   "This arrangement is very good. Where are the red oil cloths, have they been shipped to the north?"

   "It was shipped together with the spices. I put the decoration boxes, hand towels and other things in the shop in the inner city. They were all sold out as soon as they were put on the shelves."

   "Sold out?"

   "Yes. The owner sells too little, not enough to sell."

  Huo Xi didn't expect these things to be very popular, and regretted buying less.

"At the beginning, I thought that our shop was doing business in the middle and lower classes. I was afraid that we would not be able to compete with those big shops. There were not many of these exquisite and expensive things to buy. Besides, the money I brought was limited, so I didn't dare to spend on it. Too much money wasted."

"The owner is very worried. There is no shortage of rich people who are curious in the capital, and they sell very well. However, I did not keep some of the spices for sale in the capital as the owner said. I visited the inner and outer cities. This time There are a lot of spices shipped back from the major companies, and I was afraid of stockpiling, so I just let them ship the spices to the north."

Huo Xi nodded: "That's fine. Let's keep a low profile in the capital and earn our money without attracting attention. Shops in other places should also keep a low profile, and don't try to be the first. We have no money or power now, so we can't compete Those big merchants only pick up leaks, run our small business safely, and earn our money."

   "Yes. The boss is thinking about it. Let's take it step by step, don't stand out, don't stand out, just do a stable business."

   After talking about the business, Huo Xi asked Shen Qianzhong about the private school.

  Shen Qianzhong said that he found two of them, both of which were good, and the husband is not the kind of pedantic person who studies hard. For Huo Nian's convenience in going to school, he chose the school on Qionghua Lane.

  After listening to Huo Xi, he told Yang Fu: "Both of them sound good. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, uncle will take Nian'er to have a look. He can choose whichever one he likes."

   "Okay. I'll take Nian'er there tomorrow."

  Inner City Xincheng Hou Mansion.

  As soon as Zhang's mansion entered the mansion, Mrs. Tai, Mrs. Wu and a group of children, brothers, sister-in-law, nephews and nieces surrounded him.

  The younger nephews and nieces have no impression of this uncle, they just stare at him.

  Zhang Xie didn't have much impression of this father, but it didn't affect his admiration.

  Looking at grandma and father talking about the old days, she immediately walked over: "Father, the child misses you so much. If the father comes back later, the classmates should laugh at the child as a wild child without a father."

  Zhang Fu laughed loudly, and hugged him and sat in front of him: "Who dares to say that about my son, I will go to him to argue with you for my father."

   Zhang Xie was held in his father's arms, and looked at the brothers and sisters below with a proud face.

  Wu looked at the delicate and weak concubine Liu who returned to Beijing with Zhang Fu, and the three-year-old daughter in front of her, her silver teeth were gritted.

  The noble concubine next to Wu, Wang, entered the door from Liu, and also stared at her back and forth.

  These years when Lord Hou was in Shuntian Mansion, Mrs. Tai sent four beauties who were fat, swallow, and thin to serve. Lord Hou didn't want anyone, so why did he fall in love with such a talented daughter who was not very outstanding?

   Looked at her feet again, fortunately she was a concubine, otherwise if she had a son, she would be the only one favored in Beiping, and what would happen to her mother and daughter.

   Seeing Zhang Jiehou on Master Hou, he hurriedly pushed the two daughters beside him, motioning them to come forward and kiss his father.

   Thank you for your support, I will add more. I have collected some manuscripts in the past two days, and I will add more.
