my grandmother

Chapter 266 Come back
Sister-in-law Yin held her breath and let the two stewards of Guijinfang into the house.

"This is Mrs. Li, our shopkeeper." Sister-in-law Yin introduced Li Jinzhu first, and then quickly said with a smile: "These two are the chief stewards of Guijinfang, and they said they came to see us for fine cloth. My daughter's fine cloth clothes!"

When it came to the last sentence, Sister-in-law Yin couldn't control it, and she burst out with excitement and joy.

Li Jinzhu quickly bowed her knees to salute, she seemed to have heard the word Guijinfang before.

The two stewards of Guijinfang returned the salute and politely introduced themselves again.

"Treasurer Li is well. The little lady's surname is Wang, and her surname is Zou. The little lady is in charge of the clothes of the villain in Guijinfang. Manager Zou is in charge of the inner lining. Come here and talk to shopkeepers Li Da and Yin about buying fine cloth."

"Hello, shopkeeper Wang, hello shopkeeper Zou, please sit down." Li Jinzhu hurriedly gave up his seat with a smile, and subconsciously looked at sister-in-law Yin.

"Guijinfang is our Liangzhe Road, not only Liangzhe Road, but also the best tailor shop in Jiangnan!" Sister-in-law Yin understood the meaning of Li Jinzhu's look and introduced a sentence.

Li Jinzhu oh, she remembered, she had heard of this Guijinfang.Yinzhu once said that Hong Er's sister had a cloak from Guijinfang, and that the clothes from Guijinfang were the most expensive in the world.

"Shopkeeper Yin praised you." Shopkeeper Wang replied with a smile.

"Yuting! Hurry up and bring some of our muslin over here! Bring more!" Sister-in-law Yin raised her voice and yelled, and sat down by Li Jinzhu, brought a clean cup over, and took out the teapot from the warm nest to pour tea.

"You Guijinfang's eyesight is beyond words! You must have seen how beautiful the muslin clothes are on Shizi and our aunt! They are even prettier than silk!" Sister-in-law Yin said with a smile.

"The two fine cloth clothes of Master Shizi and Mr. Li must have come from the sewing room of Wangfu Bieye. If the wages for sewing and sewing are included, it may be worth the price of Kesi." Shopkeeper Zou laughed slowly.

Sister-in-law Yin's laughter faltered.

"Besides, with the character of Shizi and Mr. Li, why don't you look good in it? It's not something ordinary people can compare with." Shopkeeper Wang said with a smile.

Sister-in-law Yin looked at Li Jinzhu.

"I'm not saying this to derogate the goods before negotiating the price." Shopkeeper Wang looked at Li Jinzhu, and then said with a smile: "Whether we buy or sell at Guijinfang, we only want the best.

"If shopkeeper Li's fine cloth business is going to last for a long time, it's not going to work with the clothes of Master Li and Mr. Li." Shopkeeper Zou also looked at Li Jinzhu and said.

"Please guide me." Li Jinzhu stood up and knelt.

"Don't dare to do it." Shopkeeper Wang hurriedly stopped Li Jinzhu.

"Shopkeeper Li's fine cloth, we at Guijinfang have been looking at it for half a year." Shopkeeper Zou watched Li Jinzhu sit back, leaned forward and smiled slightly: "This fine cloth is still a little rough, it's okay to make a urine ring..."

"Piss ring!" Li Jinzhu couldn't control himself.

Sister-in-law Yin's eyes also widened. She was not ignorant, but it would be too extravagant to use fine cloth like theirs as a urine ring.

"It needs to be washed seven or eight times before use, and it needs to be embroidered." Shopkeeper Wang looked at the two and added with a smile.

Li Jinzhu pursed her lips tightly, and Sister Yin hissed softly.

"Previously, the fine cloth produced by the Mengjia weaving workshop in Yangzhou was much finer than this. There is another kind that is mixed with a silk thread and pasted into the silk as a lining, which is very docile. If shopkeeper Li can weave such fine cloth, we Guijinfang has materials to use." Shopkeeper Zou spoke softly.

"Does shopkeeper Zou know of anyone who can weave such fine cloth?" Li Jinzhu asked.

"I really don't know. The few pieces of old materials in our workshop are from five or sixty years ago." Shopkeeper Zou sighed.

"I can use it here. This kind of fine cloth needs to be washed ten times carefully. It's the best for making small woolen clothes." Shopkeeper Wang laughed.

Li Jinzhu breathed a sigh of relief, and Sister Yin hurriedly smiled and said, "How much can shopkeeper Wang ask for? This price?"

"The muslins in your house come in different shapes. I have to pick and choose. Let's pick and see how many we can pick out, and then talk about the price. Don't worry, the two shopkeepers. We buy from Guijinfang. We want the best goods and give them to the best. The price." Shopkeeper Wang said with a smile.

"Then choose according to Shopkeeper Wang." Sister-in-law Yin responded with a smile.

........................

With her hands behind her back, Li Xiaonan walked slowly among the group of scholars, watching and listening carefully.

Wan Qing followed Li Xiaonan step by step, full of boredom.

Gu Yan stood outside the window, looked at Li Xiaonan who was frowning, and then looked sideways at his uncle Wei Xuezheng for a moment.

"What did you teach today? Or those from yesterday?" Gu Yan asked.

"Where did the teaching go?" Wei Xuezheng immediately turned to ask Professor Gao who was in charge of Gezhi.

"It's still yesterday, yesterday's." Professor Gao bit the bullet and replied stutteringly.

"Yesterday was the same as the day before yesterday, and the day before yesterday was the same as the day before yesterday." Gu Yan tilted Wei Xuezheng.

"Well, tell me, didn't you say it's a little different? What's the difference?" Wei Xuezheng pushed Professor Gao away.

"I roughly understood the homework the day before yesterday, but Mr. Li asked again, just, just..." Professor Gao's forehead was sweating.

In the Gezhi class these days, the slowest and worst learner was actually Professor Gezhi.For the first day or two, he was worried about not being able to understand what to do, and now he was worried about whether his position as Professor Gezhi would not last.

In the room, Wan Qing, who was looking around boredly, saw Gu Yan, and hurriedly stabbed Li Xiaonan.

Gu Yan smiled into Li Xiaonan's gaze, nodded his folding fan, motioned her not to move, and stepped into the classroom.

The scholars in the room hurriedly stood up and bowed in salute.

"How is it? Do you understand?" Gu Yan asked very kindly.

"Slightly enlightened." The scholar standing at the front was a little embarrassed.

"Very good, the question I asked yesterday was quite difficult." Li Xiaonan answered with a smile.

The room full of scholars secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Yan cast a sideways glance at the scholar beside him who was secretly relieved, shook off his folding fan, looked at Wei Xuezheng and said with a smile: "It is said that there are many talents in the south of the Yangtze River, but I didn't expect them to be mediocre."

Li Xiaonan was about to speak, but Gu Yan rushed ahead of her and said: "Mr. Li has worked hard, I will send Mr. Li back."

Li Xiaonan swallowed the words, and raised her foot forward, Gu Yan rushed out of the classroom again before Li Xiaonan.

After walking seven or eight steps away from the classroom, Gu Yan paused slightly, tilted his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "Even if you are a teacher of the government school, you have to be in front of me and you in the back. This is the etiquette."

"You just said that Jiangnan is nothing but mediocre, and I am also from Jiangnan!" Li Xiaonan didn't answer Gu Yan's words.

She went in front of him the day before yesterday, and Wan Qing had already reminded her of this.

"You are a talented woman, men and women are different." Facing Li Xiaonan's widening eyes, Gu Yan immediately continued: "I have other intentions in what I said, let's go to uncle's house to talk."

After the meal, Li Xiaonan and Gu Yan sat in the warm pavilion that was open on both sides. Mrs. Fu and Mrs. Wei Si were opposite, far enough away that they could not hear Gu Yan and Li Xiaonan talking, and close enough to see clearly. The mother and daughter were serious. I really chose spring clothes from a pile of materials with a few nuns in charge.

"What's the matter?" Li Xiaonan glanced at the group of people who were concentrating on choosing clothes.

"There is something wrong, nothing happened." Gu Yan followed Li Xiaonan's gaze, "There is Mr. Dongxi, have you heard of it?"

Li Xiaonan nodded.

"Who did you listen to? Your brother? What have you heard?" Gu Yan looked at Li Xiaonan and asked.

"It is said that he is a well-known child prodigy at the age of seven or eight. He has good knowledge, noble conduct, and extraordinary knowledge. What's wrong with him?"

"He wants to take you in as his apprentice, to be a closed disciple, and to pass on the mantle to you." Gu Yan said bluntly.

"He knew you were going to marry me? Who told him? Did he guess? How did you know he was going to take me as an apprentice? Who told you? He asked for you?"

Gu Yan, who was asked by Li Xiaonan this series of questions, leaned back and laughed out loud: "Maybe it's because you are proficient in style."

"That's impossible, he can't teach me technically." Li Xiaonan was extremely sure.

"I didn't accept you as an apprentice to teach you." Gu Yan poured a cup of tea and pushed it to Li Xiaonan.

"Is it related to the customs department?" Li Xiaonan frowned.

"It doesn't count." Gu Yan looked at Li Xiaonan and didn't continue.

"Do you know why he took me in as an apprentice?" Li Xiaonan put her arms on the table and stared at Gu Yan's expression.

"Don't stare at me like that, it's not good for others to see." Gu Yan tapped his fingers on the side of the cup, motioning for Li Xiaonan to drink tea.

Li Xiaonan picked up the cup.

"Mr. Dongxi's plan to accept you as an apprentice was told to me by Zhou Shennian. A few days after Zhou Chennian came to me as a counselor, Mr. Dongxi invited him to drink tea and talk."

Li Xiaonan put down her glass and hummed.

"Mr. Dongxi is the leader of scholars on the Liangzhe Road, even in the whole of Jiangnan, he is regarded as the leader of the world. Mr. Dongxi is very ambitious." Gu Yan continued.

"I heard that he celebrated his [-]th birthday last year. He got the first place in the Qiu Wei exam, but didn't pass the Chun Wei exam. What kind of ambition does he have?" Li Xiaonan thought about it a little bit, and wanted to sigh when he thought about it.

"Maybe I want to influence the government. As for where I want to influence, I'm not very clear." Gu Yan looked at Li Xiaonan who looked distressed.

He really liked how clever she was.

"Will it be the same as the direction you want to go? Or about the same? Or about a certain section?" Li Xiaonan looked at Gu Yan's smile.

"It's unlikely." Gu Yan looked at Li Xiaonan.

"What should I do?"

"He accepts you as a closed disciple. Even if he passes on the mantle, it will be extremely difficult for you to influence Jiangnan scholars like him. But he can use you and me to gather more people." Gu Yan said somewhat vaguely.

"Then ignore him!" Li Xiaonan said flatly.

　For nearly a year, after thinking about it for a long time, I still don't know what to say is the most appropriate, it is too tormented.

　　In the future, let's talk about it after it's completely slowed down.

　　This book was originally intended to be done in one go, but, alas, for nearly a year, all inquiries and reminders have been ignored, and there is really no extra effort.

　　It is said that people who can write good novels have a bit of talent. If Xian has a bit of talent, this talent is probably too empathetic, which is an extremely painful talent.

　　That's it, I won't mention it again.

　　Starting today, go back to Ah Nan's story to warm yourself.

　　thank you all.

　　Thank you dear Doudou.
