Chapter 26 New Business

Rong Zhan was stunned when he heard this, and then raised his hand to touch the boy's head, "You kid, you haven't learned anything all day long, but you have followed your father's ability to talk nonsense 100%."

When he heard him mention his father, the baby's expression darkened visibly.

The man knew he had said the wrong thing, so he sighed and said, "Don't worry! Brother will be back sooner or later."

While comforting the baby, he is also comforting himself!

Even before his death, no trace of Rong Lin was found in his previous life, but he thought that as long as he was alive and had a glimmer of hope, there would always be a chance to meet again.

——————

The next day, Old Rongtou took Rong Zhan and Chu Wanying to Li Zheng's house and took back the household registration document and the marriage certificate.

Li Zheng didn't know how crazy he was, and threatened that the wedding day would come, but Lao Rong couldn't refuse, so he had to reluctantly agree.

Chu Wanying naturally knew the dilemma of Old Rongtou. As soon as Li Zheng arrived, the surrounding villagers would definitely come over to fawn over him for his sake.

The most troublesome thing is the exchange of favors. If you go back and forth like this, when there are weddings and funerals in the Li Zheng family, I'm afraid it will be inevitable in the future.

In addition, there are a lot of things that need to be prepared. All of these require a lot of money!

Lao Rongtou was worried about dealing with these human debts, and at the same time he was worried about the money.

Rong Zhan walked up to her and said softly, "Can I ask you to advance two taels of silver first?"

Chu Wanying responded without any hesitation, "Don't worry! Even if you don't tell me, I will pay for it."

Now that the Rong family finally has some spare money to live on, it would be a pity if all the money was spent on a wedding banquet.

It's just that this money shouldn't be spent so unfairly.

Rong Zhan was about to say thank you when he saw the girl suddenly turned around and said to him, "Which is the best tailor shop in this town? How about you show me it?"

What he was thinking was that the girl was preparing new clothes for him in the future. Without thinking, he said, "Tailor Feng from the West Market has good craftsmanship and the most reasonable prices. My parents used to go to him every time. If you want to go

, why don’t we go there now.”

Chu Wanying nodded, and the two of them said goodbye to Li Zheng and Lao Rongtou, and went to town together.

"Before going to Tailor Feng, I have to go to Shopkeeper Qiu of Rouge Shop." Rong Zhan said when he was halfway there.

"Do you mean to take the earrings back? How could he get an identical pair in one night? Besides, there's no telling whether his shop will be open today!"

She didn't think Shopkeeper Qiu still had the heart to do these things right now.

He must now be worried about Qiu Zhen having anything to do with Xing Sisi's murder.

Therefore, I hurriedly left and closed the shop yesterday.

"Of course I'm not taking back that earring. I think I should get you a decent piece of jewelry before getting married."

Hearing this, Chu Wanying waved her hands repeatedly, "No, please don't. Besides, the pearl necklace cost one tael of silver last time. If I buy some gold jewelry, I don't know how much silver it will cost!"

She was really distressed!

How many things can this money buy?

Rong Zhan smiled and looked at her with a look of disgust on her face, and raised his eyebrows at her.

In his opinion, women love beauty and vanity very much, and there are very few people like her who abandon gold and silver like worn-out shoes.

"Forget it, if you don't like it, then I won't buy it. Then I won't go to Shopkeeper Qiu for now, let's go directly to Tailor Feng!"

About half an hour later, the two of them arrived at Tailor Feng's place.

The store is simple and cramped, and it is really deserted.

Chu Wanying got straight to the point, "Uncle Feng, I have a deal I want to make with you. Can you agree?"

When Tailor Feng heard this, he looked her up and down, then glanced at Rong Zhan who was standing beside her, and said with a smile, "Old Rongtou and I have always been good friends. If you have any questions, little girl, just tell me."

He took out a stack of drawings from his pocket and handed them to him, saying, "This is the drawing I drew last night. You can see how difficult it is to make and how long it will take."

Tailor Feng took the drawings and looked at them one by one. The more he looked at them, the less smile he had on his face. In the end, there was only a look of surprise on his face.

"Did you draw these?"

Chu Wanying nodded, and Rong Zhan beside him took a few drawings and looked at them, with a rare look of surprise in his eyes.

"I didn't expect that you still have this skill."

She looked at them in confusion. They were just a few drawings, so she shouldn't be so surprised!

"These are what I drew when I had nothing to do. They are all clothes styles and some daily necessities."

She pointed at a drawing and said, "Here, for example, this is a drawing of a tent. I saw that there was no suitable material in the fabric shop, so I was wondering if you could make some tents with fabric curtains."

The tents of Dayan Kingdom can only be used in military camps and are called tents. Ordinary people are not qualified to use these, so there are no stores to sell them.

She thought that she would probably need it when she was evacuating from a famine in the future, so she wanted Tailor Feng to make it in case of emergency needs.

"Yes, your drawing is really good. It is not only clear and clear, but also beautiful in style." Tailor Feng stroked his beard and praised repeatedly.

"How much do you plan to do, girl? I'm afraid of too much. I'm really powerless and too busy to handle it!"

"I have drawn six pictures of clothing patterns, and you can make one of each. Make ten tents, fifty cloth bags, and one hundred purses. For the cloth bags, you can use finer cloth on the outside and ordinary cloth on the inside.

Just cotton."

"I will deliver the fabric to you later, please make the handwork cost cheaper!"

"I only want so many things. I'm afraid I won't be able to make them all at once, which will delay you."

"Well, you might as well find some helpers. For example, there are some poor people in the surrounding neighborhoods who have little income. You can recruit them to work together, and I will pay for the labor."

Tailor Feng's daughter-in-law was doing some work next to her. When she heard this, she immediately put down her work, came closer and asked, "Miss, do you really mean what you said? That's great! Aunt Li next door was worried on the ground two days ago.

The harvest here is not good, and I don’t know what to do to support the family! There are too many families like hers.”

"That's great! Why don't you help me recruit a group of women with exquisite craftsmanship? I will arrange work for you regularly in the future. As for how to pay the wages, you can discuss it yourself. Just give me a price in the end.

become."

After hearing this, Tailor Feng's wife quickly flattered her, "Oh! She is young, but she plans well and has amazing courage. I think she will be an outstanding person in the future!"

Chu Wan Yingshi didn't like these false words, so she just smiled lightly and said, "Aunt Feng is so complimentary. Then tell me how long it will take to get what I want this time."

Tailor Feng and Aunt Feng got together and murmured for a while, and then said, "About ten days! After all, it takes time to get the manpower together. When the people are fully arranged in the future, the time can be doubled."

"That's very good. I will bring you ten pieces of the required fabrics first. If there is any left, you can keep it for next time. If it is not enough, you can buy it for me first and wait until the end.

Let’s settle the accounts together and just give me a bill.”

"This is one tael of silver. It will be used as a deposit. If you pay more, you will be refunded and less will be paid. What do you think?"

"Okay, okay, girl, you are such a cheerful person!" Aunt Feng became more and more happy as she listened. She collected the money and ran out to recruit soldiers.

Tailor Feng smiled at Rong Zhan and said, "Rong Zhan, you have married a good wife this time! It's just that this tael of silver is a bit too much, and I always feel a little uneasy. So be it! You have something to say in the future.

Just give the order directly and we will do our best to ensure it is completed on time!"

This remark was a pun. Rong Zhan smiled and said nothing, only looking at the girl.

She was really different from what I imagined.

With his exquisite wrists and sharp tongue, he is really a business material.

Chu Wanying left with satisfaction. After walking out of the door, the man finally said, "What are you planning to do?"

The girl didn't hide it from him, "Of course I want to find ways to make money! I have observed carefully recently that many women from wealthy families in the town are very concerned about what they wear, so I wanted to make some exquisite and beautiful clothes.

Then find some good ways to sell it."

"As for those purses, they are larger than ordinary ones and have more patterns than those on the market. I think they will make small profits but quick turnover, so I can sell them to Shopkeeper Qiu."

"Oh, those last tents and cloth bags are for future use when escaping from disasters."

After Chu Wanying finished speaking, she waited for the man to express his position, but after waiting for a long time, she didn't hear a reply.

She turned her head and glanced, and saw the man looking at her with an inquiring eye. This look was really strange, which made her feel guilty.

"You, why are you looking at me like that?"

She wondered if she was acting too special and made him suspicious?

Just listen to Rong Zhan say, "It's okay, I'm just suddenly curious, how did you get bullied into such a mess in the Chu family with your temperament."

He still remembered that when he went to the Chu family to pick her up, the girl was covered in scars and looked thin and helpless.

Compared with her today, she is completely different.

Chu Wanying snorted coldly, "It's because I have lived in such an environment since I was a child. If I didn't learn to protect myself, how could I survive until now?"

"Okay, let's not mention these troublesome things. Let's talk about yesterday's events first!"

Hearing this, the man said sternly, "What Qiu Zhen said yesterday should be true, and now the clues have been broken again. The only thing I think about is that the death of the two daughters of the Xing family was probably just an accident. I think I can go there later.

The Xu family of the village went to Xu Zhengqing to find out."

"Okay, I'll go with you later. Well, I don't have enough pens, ink, paper and inkstones at home. You can help me buy some. I'll go to the fabric shop and pick out some fabrics. We'll meet at the entrance of the town later.

how?"

The man agreed, and then the two of them parted ways and left.

Chu Wanying only bought five pieces of ordinary cotton cloth in the shop and spent one penny.

Then I went to the rice and flour shop and stocked up on another 20 liters of rice noodles, 100 jins of soybeans, and 50 jins of cornmeal, which cost me three taels of silver.
Chapter completed!
