my grandmother

Chapter 85
After crossing Academy Street and entering the tea house, Wan Qing stood behind Shi Gun with her hands down in a neat manner, and Li Xiaonan looked at Gu Yan.

Gu Yan only used a jade hairpin on his head, a light green brocade quilted gown with water patterns, tied with a jade belt, and looked radiant.

It seems that after a year, he is younger and more energetic!

Facing Li Xiaonan's scrutiny, Gu Yan stretched out his folding fan, and before touching Li Xiaonan, he immediately turned back, twirled it a few times between his fingers, and snorted, "What are you looking at?"

"Seeing that you're wearing so little, aren't you cold?" Li Xiaonan walked around Gu Yan and went to the table where teacups and snacks were already placed.

"You've changed out of your big padded jacket, so of course it's not cold. It looks like your preserved egg store has made a lot of money, so you've already put on fine cloth." Gu Yan followed behind Li Xiaonan, turning a folding fan.

"This is the clothes for the Chinese New Year. My preserved egg shop has earned a lot of copper cash. Sister-in-law Yin said it was all thanks to you." Li Xiaonan sat down and looked at Gu Yan, "Everyone in Jiangcheng knows that your family has been Our Preserved Egg Store buys preserved eggs and salted eggs."

"You want to thank me?" Gu Yan raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"En." Li Xiaonan looked serious.

Gu Yan was unexpectedly stunned for a moment, then laughed, "You're welcome, it's easy."

"I am very proficient in etiquette, but for a person like you, who ranks among the top ten nobles in the world, if you want to find someone who is proficient in etiquette, you will definitely find a bunch of people who are better than me.

"You said you wanted me to teach you lessons, but you never listened carefully, and you didn't want to learn from me at all.

"You asked me to teach Mr. Qian." Li Xiaonan paused, then glanced sideways at Gu Yan, "I don't think you want me to teach anything at all, but recycling."

Gu Yan was choked by Li Xiaonan's words of using waste, the folding fan stretched out in front of Li Xiaonan, and kept knocking on the table.

Li Xiaonan didn't look at the folding fan, but stared at Gu Yan, and rushed ahead of him and said, "You asked me to teach Mr. Qian, just to find an excuse to give me money. You are so kind to me, what is your purpose?" , can you explain clearly?"

Gu Yan waved his hand.

Shi Gun hastily motioned for everyone to retreat.

"You have said so clearly one, two, three, then you can go on with one, two, three, and tell me what you have that is worthy of my pursuit?" Gu Yan slapped the folding fan on the table.

"Since not, then why are you so kind to me? Because you said it was destined? Because you know that my brother always secretly gives me eggs?" Li Xiaonan put her arms on the table, with a serious expression.

Gu Yan imitated Li Xiaonan, also put his arms on the table, stretched his head forward, looked at Li Xiaonan, nodded seriously, "Yes."

"Then how long do you plan to take care of me? A few months? A few years? Or, take care of me until I live a good life and don't have to worry about anything? Then what kind of life do you think I live to be considered a good life? Already?" Li Xiaonan then asked.

"During the first month of the twelfth lunar month, did you just think about this matter without doing anything?" Gu Yan looked at Li Xiaonan speechlessly.

"Well, almost." Li Xiaonan nodded.

"I told you once, do you want me to say it again?" Gu Yan wanted to sigh.

Li Xiaonan frowned, thought about it carefully, and said hesitantly: "Didn't I say it? Why don't I remember?"

Gu Yan slowly took a breath, suppressed the urge to slap a folding fan on Li Xiaonan's head, stretched out her fingers in front of Li Xiaonan, lit her, and slapped her on the table, "Just like you, you are stupid and stupid, but you are so brave It's quite big, how long do you think you can take care of it?"

Li Xiaonan put her chin in one hand, looked at Gu Yan, and sighed for a moment, "I know you can know that my brother gave me eggs, what does this mean? You asked me where the aura of poetry is? Go, you know more than I do, right? Is it because of this? Is there anyone else?"

"No more, just you and me." Gu Yan was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice.

"Hmm." Li Xiaonan rested her chin on both hands, looked at Gu Yan, and sighed leisurely, "No wonder I was not afraid of you at all when I saw you for the first time, and I thought you could be trusted."

"Which time counts as the first time? Hangzhou Gongyuan? Or when you stared at the yellow crab shell?" Gu Yan smiled.

"When you bumped into us! That time at the Gongyuan doesn't count, I didn't see you at all."

"Oh~" Gu Yan trailed off, "Didn't you call me an idiot that time?"

"I'm just a bum, and I'm not like a gangster!"

"Wu Nong's soft language is really nice, you should speak the official language."

"Our preserved egg shop is very profitable. From now on, you don't have to change ways to give me money. If you want me to teach that Mr. Qian, I can teach him as much as he can. No money, thank you for helping us do it. It's business." Li Xiaonan switched back to Mandarin.

"His surname is not Qian, his surname is Niu, Niu Cheqian. You have to give him the Shuxiu you taught him. If I have anything to ask you, I won't give you money." Gu Yan laughed.

"Okay!" Li Xiaonan quickly agreed.

Give Mr. Qian—the money for the class in front of the bullock cart is a lot of money!

After Gu Yan glanced at him, Li Xiaonan, who had a bright smile on her face, snorted like nothing.

This little girl is really open to money!

"Have you found a business to make a fortune?" Gu Yan knocked on the table and asked.

"My elder brother has ordered sister Zhi from Mr. Gao's family, do you know?" Li Xiaonan looked at Gu Yan.

"En." Gu Yan shook off the folding fan, and waited for Li Xiaonan to continue.

"During the Chinese New Year, I went to Mr. Gao's house with my elder sister to pay New Year's greetings. I saw that sister Zhi bought a new six-shed loom. Do you know what a heald is?"

Gu Yan glanced sideways at Li Xiaonan, and snorted, he didn't bother to pay attention to her stupid question.

"The jacquard fabric woven by the six-shed loom is thin and soft, very beautiful. A few days ago, my third sister and I went shopping in the cloth shop. There was a sister in the cloth shop who was weaving with the eight-shed loom. The sister's weaving is even more delicate and beautiful.

"Sister Zhi and sister Buxing both said that they weaved jacquards by themselves because ready-made jacquards were too expensive.

"In our cloth shop in Kunshan County, there are coarse cloth and fine cloth, but no jacquard cloth. In the cloth shop in Pingjiang City, more than half are silk, and there are wool materials. There are jacquard cloth, but there is no coarse cloth and fine cloth woven by rural people."

"What kind of business do you want? Jacquard cloth?" Gu Yan asked.

"I haven't reached the point of doing business, but I just find it very strange. Why is jacquard cloth so expensive? Sister Zhi said that if you buy yarn and weave it yourself, it's only [-]% of the selling price." Li Xiaonan frowned and looked at Gu Yan.

According to economic laws, unless there is a monopoly, such a large profit margin will be lowered to a normal level by the businessmen who have already been squeezed in.

Gu Yan frowned, shook his head for a moment, and said, "I haven't paid attention to this. I'll ask someone to inquire about it."

"No need!" Li Xiaonan hurriedly waved her hand, "I'm just telling you, I'll find the reason myself."

When Gu Yan heard "I'm just talking to you", the corners of his mouth turned up, his smile gradually became stronger, after thinking about it, he said with a smile: "Shall I take you to the weaving workshop?"

"Okay!" Li Xiaonan's eyes lit up and she nodded hastily.
