Chapter 202 Yingluo is determined
JD.com.
Li Mu's money-spending activity attracted a wave of popularity for JD.com, and let the people of Chang'an know that there is a place like JD.com in Chang'an. There is a shop here that sells fur, but the price is very expensive and ordinary people cannot afford it.
As the money-spending activity ended, popularity gradually decreased. This is normal. After all, there are only two and a half shops in JD.com now. One is Bai Naoer’s grocery store, which focuses on the product ‘mahjong’, and the other is Wang Ou’s fur shop. The main product is fur. The cheapest one is fifty-strong. The common people directly persuaded them to leave. Half of them are the Bai Qiaoqiao’s shop that is being renovated. The rest are just for small vendors to rent on Marseille days and charge some rent.
After all, the location of JD.com is still too far off.
Bai Naoer was very happy when his daughter opened the store on Jingdongji. Of course, he was not happy that he could see his daughter at any time. He was happy that if Qiaoqiao opened the store here, Li Mu would definitely not ignore Jingdongji. Bai Naoer was convinced by Li Mu's ability. Jingdongji was so biased. If someone else came to run it, he would definitely not make money, but if Li Mu came to the helm, he would definitely make money.
Since Li Mu came to Chang'an, he was like a God of Wealth, with money, gold and silver surrounding him, no matter how he fiddled with it, he couldn't enjoy it. Not to mention eating a bite of meat or eating some soup.
So Bai Naoer made up his mind that he would rather do nothing than help his daughter decorate the store. So early in the morning, he sent his idle men over, and as long as he hired people, he could use it casually. This made the labor workers from the Ministry of Works not very happy. You idle men have done all the hard work, so what are we doing? We finally got the opportunity to show our face in front of the Marquis, but you idle men stole the limelight. We are not fighting for nothing?
But in front of Bai Qiaoqiao, the two groups of people were not making a noise. They worked hard and compared to their work. Originally, one laborer was serving the other technician, but now there were too many laborers and the technicians could not handle it, so they had to send a message back and transferred a group of technicians, and the progress was naturally fast.
The person who was in charge of the Heavenly World Project was Gongsun Kang. Now he has been promoted to the Ministry of Works. He was promoted to the Ministry of Works. It was completely supported by Li Mu. He kept this kindness in mind. He could do something that could be done by sending a chief officer. He was present and supervising the worker himself, and took out a more meticulous spirit than building the Heavenly World. He revised the drawings several times and expanded the store again and again.
I originally planned to build a small shop that was six or seven meters wide, but in the end, it was already eighteen meters wide, and it was enough to catch up with a house.
Interestingly, on the other side of the road, the fur shop that had been renovated was brought to a group of workers from somewhere. It was being built here and there, it was also being expanded here and the opposite side. Li Zhien went over and asked, and the worker said that the owner wanted to build a warehouse for storing furs, which made Li Zhien almost scolded. If it weren't for not finding Wang Ou, he would have to do a battle.
"I'm so angry!"
Li Zhien returned to her home and found Bai Qiaoqiao, and said, "Madam, it's obvious that the opposite side is competing with us! You can't lose to her! I went to Gongsun Kang and told us that we'll cover all this street and see whose shop is bigger!"
"Forget it." Bai Qiaoqiao took Li Zhien's hand and said, "She will follow her and blame us for having to choose the shop opposite her. If you change it, you will be angry. We have changed it a few times, and they have followed it a few times. Now it seems that the two families are about the same wide. Just like that, it will be unreasonable no matter how big it is."
"Madam, you always do this. Let me give you, and I will be bullied to death sooner or later!"
"My husband is my husband, who will bully whom. When our shop opens, it will be serious to see who has a good business. If our shop really becomes so long and the business is not good, outsiders will say that Zhuluhou's wives and concubines will only waste it."
"But I'm so angry!"
"Okay, don't be angry. It's almost noon. Let's go home. My husband is sick. I'm worried that he won't have a good meal. There are people from the Ministry of Works here, so it should be fine."
When Li Mu's condition was mentioned, Li Zhien didn't care about being angry with Wang Ou, nodded and went out to call the driver.
Bai Qiaoqiao cleaned up for a while, and suddenly saw two figures from the corner of her eyes. She felt familiar, so she came to the window and looked over. After a closer look, she recognized it. One of the two women was the woman who had a dispute with Li Mu on the day the opening of the Heaven and Earth. She seemed to be Wei Zheng's daughter, named Wei Yingluo.
Li Mu wrote three songs in a row "Qingping Diary" to be more honest with her. At that time, Bai Qiaoqiao was in the private room upstairs, while Wei Yingluo was downstairs. The two of them had never met each other or spoke. Maybe Wei Yingluo could not recognize Bai Qiaoqiao, but Bai Qiaoqiao remembered her. Not only her, but all the women who had contact with Li Mu, as long as Bai Qiaoqiao knew, she would remember and never forget them.
How could she be here?
Bai Qiaoqiao was a little confused and intuition told her that it might be related to Li Mu.
At this time, the carriage arrived at the door. Li Zhien called Bai Qiaoqiao to get on the carriage. Bai Qiaoqiao withdrew her gaze and got on the carriage. The coachman shook his whip, and the carriage turned around and passed by Wei Yingluo and his servant.
Seeing the carriage turning around, Wei Yingluo quickly pulled the pearl and hid for a while.
"What a magnificent carriage," Pearl looked at the carriage and muttered enviously: "Miss, when will our master get on such a carriage?"
"Dad is honest and self-righteous and never accepts bribes. His monthly salary is worth a lot, how can he sit on such a carriage? Haven't you seen the woman who just got on the carriage? She is wearing fur, so she must be either rich or noble..." Suddenly, Wei Yingluo thought of who this person was. Judging from the woman's dress, she had the aura of someone, and this place is Jingdong Ji. Could it be his wife?
No, would he let his wife come out and run a shop?
Pearl just said casually, and what she really worried about was another thing.
After following the craftsmen for breakfast and reading the newspaper, the master and servant left Guangdefang to Jingdong Restaurant. Pearl finally knew the lady’s plan. She wanted to join Li Mu and become a female professor who taught the craftsmen to read.
When they came to Jingdongji, they wanted to ask Li Mu's father-in-law, Bai Naoer, where Li Mu's home was, so they could go to Li Mu to talk about this matter. When they thought of two girls' homes inquiring about a man's residence, even if Zhenzhu was a servant, they couldn't ignore his face. Especially when they asked the man's father-in-law about his home, they felt very strange inexplicably. If they annoyed others and promoted them, they wouldn't care. What should I do if the lady's reputation was?
Pearl remembers Wang Po’s appearance, very ferocious. If Li Mu hadn’t been there that day, how could Xiao Shitou and the others have eaten meat? Now I don’t know how Xiao Shitou and the others are doing. Wang Po would give them food without Li Mu staring at him.
Wei Yingluo's heart was also in a mess.
Her initial idea was to ask Li Mu to help her to overcome the difficulties. Now what she said to Pearl was what she had just thought of on the way from Guangdefang to Jingdongji. When she was reading newspapers to the craftsmen, she felt the thirst for knowledge among these illiterate craftsmen. There was also the content of the article "Talks": No noble or cheap, no long or little, where the Tao exists, where the teacher exists. These words greatly shocked her.
Although Wei Yingluo had never been a famous teacher, she had also met many great Shandong scholars because of Wei Zheng. Such as Kong Yingda, the Louvre, Zheng Jing and others, were all famous people in the world.
Listening to these people's words, reading is a noble thing. How high is it? The Louvre once said that first-class scholars should be buried in the classics of saints and pursue the great way of the world. Being an official is too vulgar! An official is burdened by fame and fortune and full of chores. How can an official devote himself to studying the saint's scriptures? Therefore, a first-class scholar should not even be an official. He should sit down three thousand disciples like Confucius, enjoy the offerings of his disciples, and be a noble person.
Such people are obviously not craftsmen, and "untouchables" like farmers must be scholars and officials.
However, "Teacher's Talk" believes that no matter the status, no matter the age, where the truth exists, it should be where the teacher exists. Isn't this what Confucius said, there is no difference in teaching?
How pitiful the craftsmen’s keen eyes were. Don’t they want to read or read newspapers? But they don’t have the opportunity to learn, and most of the people who read the words were scholars and officials. The scholars and officials were ashamed of interacting with these “unprecedented people”, let alone teaching knowledge.
But Wei Yingluo didn't think so. She felt that Li Mu was right. Everyone has the instinct and power to pursue knowledge, and she was willing to be the one who taught. But at the same time, she also understood that this matter was difficult because the current social atmosphere did not allow it.
Although in the Tang Dynasty, Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism was not yet popular, and women did not have as many rules as they had to follow in later generations. However, people in the Tang Dynasty were still ashamed to let their female relatives show up. Take this matter as an example. If Wei Zheng knew that his daughter was going to be a craftsman teacher, he would never agree.
Although Wei Zheng may not have as much money as a successful technician as a scholar. But he is a scholar. Can the affairs of a scholar be the same as a craftsman? Can the daughter of a scholar be with a craftsman? This is something that cannot be tolerated by etiquette.
She was also unsure whether Li Mu would support her.
Just as he was thinking about it, a voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Miss, are you Mr. Wei's daughter?"
"Ah?" Wei Yingluo came to her senses and looked up to see two officers, one of whom was holding a portrait in his hand, comparing.
Wei Yingluo was in a panic. She glanced at the same panic Pearl, forced herself to calm down, and denied: "You have recognized the wrong person! I am not Wei Yingluo!"
When Pearl heard this, she almost fainted. Miss, you are so stupid, you are still running away from home!?
