Chapter 605 Phoenix Yufei (4)(2/2)
Zhao Tong was stunned for a moment, and laughed, saying, "I'm really unforgivable." But she smiled generously, "We started to fight the children together, so there is no need to be a mystery." Then I brought out a cup of tea myself, and then I made a gesture of invitation.
The two looked at each other and laughed, served tea and drank together. They picked up two pieces of dried fruits to taste, chatting about the fashionable style of jewelry and clothes in Beijing.
After all, I naturally went back to the business of the two, and I couldn't help but study with great interest what kind of fabric could sell better.
Although Zhao Tong is only 28 years old, she has been managing two shops by herself for three or four years.
"My mother is most impatient with these common affairs, and she wishes she could be a man who went to fight to kill the enemy with pleasure." Zhao Tong smiled and shook her mother's bottom, and she ignored her. "It turns out that my grandmother was worried. Seeing that my mother really couldn't do it, she took me. The eldest sister and the second sister brought it out. Later, whenever we sisters grew up, they had to learn from the housekeeper. If they grew up, their grandmother threw them into the shop and took care of ourselves. She was responsible for her own profits and losses. When my sister-in-law came in, my mother completely let go. We were relieved when we were happy.”
Yang Tian was not embarrassed and laughed, "But even I have heard that Mrs. Wu Jingbo's excellent kung archery skills are excellent, and she is really a woman who is not as good as a woman. She is not as good as an ordinary daughter. Isn't that free and easy as a wife like this? She really admires her. It’s a shame to others! I am so stupid, neither as capable as my wife nor as capable as my sister. Although I have been studying for a few years, I still feel bad about the account book and will ask my sister to take care of it in the future."
After saying something, Zhao Tong was touching the itchy point. Although she was revealing the truth, she believed that I was a hero among girls from the bottom of my heart, but she couldn't hear anyone say anything.
When Yang Tian spoke, Zhao Tong looked at his expression carefully. Seeing that he was indeed speaking, he was neither perfunctory nor slandered, he was extremely grateful to Zhao Tong. He couldn't help but get closer to Yang Tian.
Zhao Tong pretended to twist Yang Tian's face and said, "You are a girl from a scholarly family, but you are not smart anymore. You are obviously trying to stay lazy and let me be busy alone. This is how
If not, you will be dragged along with you."
Yang Tian quickly smiled and begged for mercy.
The two laughed together.
However, Yang Tian had already obtained some information from the Wujing Bo Mansion from Shen Rui, so Fang Cai would not be confused when Zhao Tong mentioned it.
Since Shen Rui wanted to do business with Wu Jing Bo Mansion, it was impossible not to inquire about the details of Wu Jing Bo Mansion. But at this time, he knew that people like Du Laoba should know more.
If the current situation is now, we need to inquire about the affairs of the British Duke's family and how to get Du Laoba, who is backing the British Duke's family, to go there.
However, Wu Jingbo's Mansion was once a prominent figure in the Chenghua Dynasty. After going through Chenghua and Hongzhi dynasties, it was not difficult to get information from his family.
Wu Jingbo's military achievements were granted titles, but it was not the founding of the country, nor during the Jingnan period, but during the Chenghua period. At that time, it was not the title of the count, but the Marquis.
Wujing Marquis Zhao Fu pacified the rebellion of Yao people in Guangdong and Guangxi, and swept the Jianzhou Jurchens who violated the border. They were invincible and sang triumphantly all the way, and finally won the title of Marquis.
Then he was transferred to Hetao. When he arrived, the bandits had invaded and robbed for a long time. He was a hero and hero and he was unable to turn the world back. However, the censor in the court ignored those things, and exhausted all the mistakes on him and impeached him inaction.
Playing with snails, etc.
Zhao Fu was transferred back to Beijing and invited him to the Marquis.
He was a confidant minister of Emperor Xianzong and had great military achievements. Although Xianzong changed his sons to be hereditary count, he still made Zhao Fu the Marquis.
However, after that, Zhao Fu was idle for ten years and never went to the battlefield again until his death in the 22nd year of Chenghua.
After his death, he was posthumously awarded the title of Duke Rong, which shows that Emperor Xianzong had feelings for him.
After Zhao Tong's father Zhao Chengqing inherited the title, he was also idle for two years. However, because of his contribution to supporting Emperor Hongzhi, he took charge of the vanguard of the prefectures in the first year of Hongzhi, and later led the Shenji Camp. Later, he was sent to jointly defend Nanjing.
Now Wu Jing's prince and Zhao Tong's elder brother Zhao Hongze have also entered the forefront of the palace army. They are also the number of figures that the little emperor can count, but they are not young and do not often follow the emperor to play around.
The Zhao family's grandparents and grandsons were trusted by three generations of emperors, and their favors remained strong, so naturally the family industry became more and more.
The Zhao family shops are also famous for many of them. Zhao Chengqing has been impeached by the censors many times and has been impeached by the censors to go out of luxury, invade the fishing market, etc.
However, an emperor like Emperor Hongzhi, who was frugal, was quite tolerant of the luxury of the Zhao family and never said a harsh word to Zhao Chengqing.
Zhao Chengqing's family was well received by the circle of senior relatives in Beijing because of their wide face. Otherwise, it would not be the turn of Miss Zhao Liu to marry the second son of the British Duke's Mansion.
Shen Rui wrote an analysis with Yang Tian that since he was in charge of heavy troops, he was afraid of being self-deprecating.
Yang Tian is not an ignorant daughter, especially after getting engaged to the Shen family, her father and brother told her more or less about the court affairs. After all, Shen Rui will enter the official career in the future. If Yang Tian wants to be able to eat in the circle of imperial edicts, he must know.
Major events in the court.
She could understand all the various analysis of Shen Rui, and sometimes she could give her own opinions, which surprised Shen Rui. She liked to write some political affairs in letters more and more.
Yang Tian took the carriage from Wujing Bo Mansion and looked at it secretly. The Censor once impeached Wujing Bo Mansion to go out and ride in an eight-person sedan chair, but now the carriage from Wujing Bo Mansion looks ordinary and not ostentatious, and the inner room is also arranged.
It's normal.
She couldn't help but wonder if she had learned a lesson because of being impeached.
After waiting for half an hour, I realized the uniqueness of the car. The seat is large and soft and comfortable, and I don’t know where to set up a machine to raise the charcoal fire. It was actually warm in the car, but there was no fireworks at all.
.Under the small table, there are many hidden squares next to the seat, and there are tea set boxes, all of which are all available.
She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, wealthy families are different, how can they decorate the storefront? The inside is really the priority.
Zhao Tong was still chirping and studying the fabric, and said for a while: "Zhang Er said he wanted to find a way to mix the wool with silk thread to weave cloth. I said that it would be too much for people!" for a while: "The earliest batch of cloth was afraid that it would not enter the summer.
Only then can you arrive in Beijing. Songjiang Buji is a sweat-absorbing method. It is best to be a mid-lane in summer. However, it is necessary to make the weaving factory thinner.”
Although Yang Tian learned to be a housekeeper and not a business management company, since Shen Rui told her about weaving in Ciyun Temple that day, she has been quite concerned about it, and has also looked up some books and asked about needles and threads in the mansion.
The embroiderer on the side also knows a little bit, but she can still talk to Zhao Tong.
The two of them planned what kind of patterns should be prepared for the cloth after the spring season, and they were quite speculative about the styles that might be popular in Beijing.
Before we knew it, the carriage had already driven out of the city.
In early spring, although there is a cold spring in late spring, it still cannot stop the erect greenness.
Tough weeds have long emerged from the ground, and a weeping willow next to the official road also sprouted new buds. The soft and tender color between the sky and the earth is also much warmer, and the still whistling spring breeze seems much warmer.
It was mostly imperial villages when you walked north of the city, and there were not many pedestrians on the official road. Zhao Tong lifted up the thick cloth curtains on the car window, leaving only a layer of dense gauze curtains, which not only blocked the sight of people outside, but also made them unable to see the situation inside the car.
People who take the bus can enjoy the beautiful scenery outside the bus.
The little sisters no longer talked about the business philosophy, and enjoyed the spring scenery while drinking tea.
Zhao Tong asked Yang Tian if he could ride a horse, but Yang Tian shook his head and said he knew nothing.
At this time, it is still normal for officials to learn horse riding. The school also teaches gentlemen six arts, but the women in the inner house have already regarded elegance and tranquility as their beauty, so few people can ride horses.
Wujing Bo Mansion is also a trainer. His garden is not big, but the martial arts field is not small. There is also a special farmhouse for running horses. The family, regardless of whether it is male or female, they all learn to ride and shoot.
Zhao Tong smiled and said, "It's okay, wait a few days later and it will be warmer. I will post a post to invite you to my farm and I will teach you how to ride a horse. There are so many horses raised in the farm, and I will pick up a good foal to give it to you.
You are not tall and you can't run very fast, so don't be afraid."
When she started running, she was dancing and wiggling again.
Yang Tian only looked at her with a smile, thinking about riding a horse, and suddenly realized that Shen Rui was also having some skills. If he could go on a horse and go out for spring in the future, it would be a joy...
Thinking of it, I blushed without feeling that I was hoping that I could learn to ride a horse.
Seeing that the manors connected there were far away, Zhao Tong said to Yang Tian again: "Don't worry, just follow me. I will introduce you to a few friends later, and we will have more contacts in the future, and our two families will be together in the future...
They are all good, too.”
Although she was generous, she was still a little embarrassed after getting married, so she said a little bit embarrassed.
Yang Tian would also like it, and knew that Shen Rui had gained a lot of noble children due to disaster relief, and she would have to deal with these people in the future, so she patiently listened to Zhao Tong's statement.
"I am very familiar with Fang Qiniang, the third wife Jiuniang. Qiniang's two legitimate brothers, Zhang Er, Chen Er and others are also good friends." Zhao Tong said.
"Although Qi Niang is not the eldest granddaughter, she is the top princess in the heart of the eldest princess. When she was a child, she often went to the palace to accompany the Empress Dowager. She is the most loved by the old lady in the palace. Now, among the granddaughters of the eldest princess, She was awarded the title of the county lord, and her elder sister was awarded the title of the county lord when she got married.
"Qianniang is now a promise to the second son of Duke Chengguo's Mansion. The first Duke Chengguo was the one who guarded Nanjing. The current Duke Chengguo's Duke Chengguo still guarded Nanjing. My father has always been a coordinator and has been with the two generations of public affairs for many years. Our two families are also very familiar.
"The sisters born in the Duke of Chengguo's Mansion have all been married. The ones who are married to the capital are the third and fifth sisters. I don't know if they can come. Only one of them has not been married, and they can be seven, but they are born in the vassal. I'm afraid they won't come today. .It doesn’t matter. She grew up in Nanjing when she was a child, but only came to Beijing when she was old. She was not among our group, so you don’t need to pay attention to it.”
Zhao Tong jumped out a bunch of words like a fried bean. Speaking of the complex marriage relationship between these nobles, it was smoother than the business practices. It was just a bit and nothing was the point. Fortunately, Yang Tian was also prepared before. After finishing my homework, I roughly learned about the population situation of the noble family. Now I will silently pick up some important people to record.
The car turned off the official road and went up the side road to the Grand Princess's house. There were already more cars and horses in front of him.
Zhao Hongpei, the fourth son of Zhao who drove the horse to explore the way forward, returned the horse and returned to several carriages one by one, saying that Mr. Cai Wu personally welcomed them into the village later.
It would be fine if Mrs. Wu Jingbo and Yu's side arrived in front of Zhao Tong's carriage and through the car window, Zhao Hongpei whispered: "Cai Wu said, "The noble man is here to watch the fun, Zhang Er will accompany you."
Zhao Tong sneered softly and lowered his voice, "What's so strange about that guy who has always loved to be lively?"
Zhao Hongpei said, "It was that person who came. Maybe there was news. Not only the Zhou family came, but also the Zhang family girls."
He coughed lightly, as if he was covering up what he wanted to say, and said, "Xiao Liuer, be careful."
When Zhao Tong heard the word "Zhang Family", his eyebrows jumped. He subconsciously looked at Yang Tian, but in an instant he remembered the conflict between Kunning Palace.
She has also heard the retelling of people, and also knows the follow-up incident, and knows how much the Zhang family suffered in this battle. - Mrs. Jin has never moved into the palace again.
During the official dynasty, Empress Dowager Zhang intended to take Mrs. Jin to the palace, but was blocked by the Empress Dowager, "I don't know if the little daughter of the Zhang family has changed her temperament?"
Zhao Tong has always been in the circle of top noble ladies in Beijing, often dealing with these noble girls, and also knows the arrogant and domineering nature of the Zhang family.
This time I met Yang Tian at the banquet of the eldest princess Chun'an...
Yang Tian also understood what Zhao Hongpei said. Thinking of the two ladies in the Zhang family, he felt disgusted but not afraid.
"As long as a person stands upright, walks upright, and is innocent and worthy of the world, he is not afraid of others' defamation." Yang Tian thought so, so he also said to Zhao Tong.
No matter how powerful the Zhang family is, it is just a relative of the outside world, not a family of heaven! It is neither able to cover the sky with one hand, nor can it destroy the Yang family, which is loyal to the emperor, just by raising its hand.
Zhao Tong looked at Yang Tian and nodded slowly after a long time, saying, "I have heard that people praised my sister's character, but it is indeed true. However, sister should not underestimate the shamelessness of my husband. We are not able to fight, but we cannot make a mistake."
She paused and said, "I thought that we don't know anything about chanting poems and writing, most of them were throwing pots and double lands. I was afraid that you would feel bored, so I wanted to recommend a few people to you, so I asked you to be with those lovers of the family.
Go all the way. But today, good sister, you should follow me.
"I have also brought more maids and maids this time. I asked two smart people to follow you. They have been here with me a few times. Both the terrain and the human face are familiar with each other. I just missed it.
I didn't see it, they went to find Cai Qiniang."
Seeing that Yang Tian seemed to be careless and smiled and said to decline. Zhao Tong grabbed Yang Tian's hand, closed her smile and said seriously: "I should take good care of you, there are a lot of hair."
