[Qing Dynasty] "Gege" is polite

"Are you sure?" Ulanara frowned, the girl lying on the ground was the maid who just came out of the outer study, she was served by Fujin's side, so she was different from others, Ulanara was involved in some important matters The boss will only let her do it.

Liu Ming said cautiously, "Back to Fujin, this servant saw that woman entered the outer study with her own eyes. Although she was dressed simply, she still couldn't cover up the faint fragrance, it was balm."

Ulanara's complexion changed slightly, the balm was transported from the countries of the Western Regions, and there were only sixteen boxes of tribute to the palace.Apart from Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi, only the Crown Prince and her Lord Belle got it. He sent two boxes of the four boxes to Concubine De in the palace, and the other box to her.Only the remaining box... She originally thought that it was obtained by Li Fangfujin, but who would have thought that it would actually fall into the hands of an unknown woman.

If this thing is in the hands of Mrs. Li, Mrs. Wulanara doesn't care much. After all, Mrs. Li also has a child under her knees. It is normal for the master to take her with her, but if it is outside, she can even freely enter and leave the study room... ...There is something to say here.

outside study.

Wen Liang sat down opposite Yinzhen, put the ledger in his hand on the table, and when the man opposite raised his hand to open it, he said lightly, "This year, the store's dividends have doubled compared to previous years, and the specific categories have been listed below. It’s up there. The two shops on West Street are greedy for ink, and the last page is the general plan for next year, Lord Belle can take a look.” After saying these few words, he quietly held the paper that Su Peisheng had just given him. He warmed his hands with the teacup handed over, and stopped talking.

Yinzhen is a person with a tough face and a cold expression, not the handsome type, but his imposing manner and ink-like eyebrows and eyes leave a deep impression on people. Even in such a restrained situation, his sense of presence is still so clear, like a sharp knife Straight into the sunlight, shining with sharp edges.I can't blame Kangxi for treating him as a good knife... This is indeed a very sharp knife.

"Su Peisheng, ask Chen An to replace the two shopkeepers of the two houses on West Street, and he will be free to dispose of the replaced people." Yinzhen casually turned to the last page, and ordered Su Peisheng to do things by the way, "Wen Liang , What does this mean?" He spread out the account book and put it on the table, pointing at the last line marked in red.

"...Although imported goods from overseas are considered unrefined, they are still highly sought-after items. The January sales of the store specializing in imported goods on the same West Street are the February sales of the two stores under the name of Belle. All in all, this is the result of their lack of care." Wen Liang carefully explained to Yinzhen, he spoke in a gentle and gentle manner, and his clear voice sounded like a pleasure.

Su Peisheng heard the last few words when he came back, and silently shrank to the side.It's a pity that this guy has some brain problems outside of business, and it can be said that they have all kinds of helplessness when they wait for the servants to be castrated.He prefers to be a good man, but prefers the clothes of female Jiao'e, and prefers to be called Gege by others. If he doesn't follow the master, he probably won't see such ridiculous things.

It's just that Su Peisheng dared to think so, but he didn't dare to show it.Yinzhen cherishes talents, only he, Su Peisheng and the servants who serve Wenliang know the real situation of Wenliang. As for the person who disrespected Wenliang last time, he was severely punished by Lord Belle. Everyone tensed up, not daring to show the slightest disrespect to Lord Baylor's valued staff.

"Where's the source of their goods?" Yinzhen closed the ledger.

"It is reported that it is cooperating with the coastal fleet. I checked, and although the person behind it is the name of the Zhang family, but if you follow the vine, it should be Jiubeile's handwriting." Zhang Bao has only one member of the Zhang family, Zhang Bao. It is Wubeile Yinqi's father-in-law, and Yinqi is Yinzhen's elder brother. When it comes to business talents, Yinzhen is much better than other brothers. You can know who the actual owner of this shop is, "now the capital There are a total of 34 shops, including restaurants, tea shops, rouge shops, jade jewelry shops, sundries, etc., with Jiu Beile's handwriting either openly or secretly, so please be careful."

Wen Liang took out another piece of yellow paper from his cuff and handed it to Yin Zhen.Yinzhen nodded. This is indeed a great achievement. If you can't catch up with Yinzhen in a short time, at least you can get your lifeline. "I will send someone to investigate."

Keep silent, as it should be.

When this matter is over, Wen Liang plans to say goodbye and leave.Yinzhen pressed the ledger, "Was it too noisy yesterday? You are a lot of reticent today, and your face is not very good-looking." A little bit of worry, whether the worry is for himself or for fear of losing a useful staff member, Wen Liang is a little uncomfortable.

"I'm fine, thank you Lord Baylor for your concern." Wen Liang walked a few steps towards the door, paused again, and turned to look back at Lord Baylor.After getting the answer, Yinzhen was about to continue to take the pen, but stopped when he noticed the warm gaze, "If there is something really wrong, don't hide it." Compared with the majesty of the master just now, it also has a bit of plain concern.

"Does Lord Baylor know why I choose to follow Lord Baylor?" Wen Liang said suddenly.

Yinzhen raised his eyebrows and tapped his fingertips on the smooth surface, but he didn't get angry because of it.Throughout the ages, the master has chosen his staff, and the staff have chosen their own masters, hoping that the master will shine and realize their own ambitions.

"Why do you think?"

His warm gaze swept over Su Peisheng, "Master Belle is the first person who doesn't move when he sees someone dressed up like this, even if he doesn't show it on the face, he often slanders him inwardly. I really admire Lord Belle."

"Just for this reason?" Yinzhen had almost invisible doubts in his eyes.

Wen Liang laughed softly, the memory of that long-ago image flashed through his memory, the image that the original body will never forget, the emotional rendering made his laughter tinged with a touch of sadness, "This alone is enough."

Even in modern times, men who like women's clothing may not be respected, let alone in ancient times when etiquette and morality were bound.What Yinzhen thinks is calm and breezy, but to Yuanshen, in this long and short life, he is the only one who truly accepts his preferences.It is not empty talk that a scholar dies for his confidant.Wen Liang didn't know why he suddenly told Yinzhen the reason.Perhaps it was unexpected that at the end, even the last loyal person would forget all the memories about him.

He bowed slightly and walked away from the outer study.

The breeze blows the leaves, making a rustling sound, with a quiet rhythmic white noise.In the morning, Wen Liang was forced by Tongque to wear too much inner lining, and the remaining warmth from just now made his finger bones warm.It's already early winter, I don't know why the first snow hasn't fallen in the capital this year, it's a good thing, and it's not a good thing.

In the past few years, it has been snowing heavily in the cold winter. In the ninth year of Kangxi, it even fell for forty or fifty days in a row, causing the Yellow River to freeze for two months, and countless people died of freezing.The sooner it snows, the more likely it is that more people will freeze to death.But farming needs snow. If there is little snow this year, next year's spring plowing will be troublesome.

"Gege." At the corner, Bronze Sparrow trotted to the front and whispered, "The clothes you asked for last time are here, but the patterns on them are not the ones you want. Are you going to return them or what?" ?”

Wen Liang was silent.

He forgot, however, that Yuan had asked the embroiderer to make more than a dozen clothes in a month, all of which were red and purple, and according to his original personality, it was normal to have to wear them one at a time.These clothes are favorites for any woman, no matter in terms of texture or texture, they are all top-notch, and they are the most fashionable styles in the capital recently, no wonder the original body made a special request.

"Tongque, I'll try it myself. Please ask the embroiderer to come over. I want to make some more clothes." Wen Liang said, and walked into the house with her arms folded.He needs to make a few more simple clothes, even if he must wear women's clothing, it should not be too gaudy.Bronze Sparrow should be, closing the door softly.

Wen Liang looked at the beautiful clothes in the room, and walked to the side to touch the bright yellow one. Sure enough, there was a small mistake in the dark pattern requested before.The owner behind this embroidery workshop happens to be Sibeile, otherwise he wouldn't be making clothes here.One's own family is always better than outsiders' family, but there are too many people standing behind one's own family, and anyone who is capable can do something, which is not a good thing.

When Xiu Niang came, Wen Liang had already changed into this bright yellow dress according to her memory. The pretty color made the face of the person in the bronze mirror fair, and the slight blue color was also covered up.As soon as Tongque brought someone in, she was amazed by Wen Liang's appearance. If she didn't know Wen Liang's identity, she would almost have thought that she was really a delicate young lady.

Wen Liang stood up from the dressing table, turned around to look at the people behind her, and casually raised her sleeves, "Who made this dress?" Several embroiderers looked at each other, and the older one weighed his tone and said, "It's made by quail birds."

"Quail bird?" Wen Liang swept his brows with a look of coldness, "There is a bird named Quail Bird, which is the hundred clothes of Emperor Sidi. If it's just this kind of craftsmanship, the name of Quail Bird is gone." Bar."

Before Xiu Niang came, she was informed by Tongque about the omission, and it was indeed her own fault.The elder embroiderer looked ashamed, "I'll modify it later." The aunt in front of me often made clothes at their place, and now that such a mistake happened, the elder embroiderer was also worried.

"No need." Wen Liang waved his hand, calling the elder embroiderer to come forward, "Tell me what material this is made of."

Xiu Niang only took a few steps forward, her face changed drastically, and her knees almost went limp.How can someone who makes clothes all the year round fail to recognize what kind of material it is.

satin.

Clothes are made of thousands of materials, and although satin is one of them, but satin has the same pronunciation as "duanzi", ordinary people avoid using satin to make clothes, especially when making shrouds.

The embroidered ladies looked at Wen Liang's half-smile, and felt a chill in their hearts.

How did this man put on the clothes with a normal face?
