Unparalleled Fortune in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 174
On the night of arriving in the south of the Yangtze River, Yinzhen sent a letter back to Beijing, along with the craftsman who designed the garden where they lived.

When they arrived at the place, both of them could have a good night's sleep, woke up the next day, had dinner, and Yinzhen left.

He has a lot of things to do, some of them are busy this time.

"Fu Jin, do you still read the script today?"

Tong Cheng'er shook her head, she could only use the storybook to pass the time along the way, she had read enough.

"Go out for a walk!"

"Yes, Fujin."

What Tong Cheng'er said about going out for a walk was not going out for shopping, but just walking in the garden.

There are also many houses in Beijing that imitate the characteristics of Jiangnan, but the feeling is still the same.

After walking around, Tong Cheng'er was satisfied, but also a little tired.

Thinking of the scarf promised to Yinzhen, Tong Cheng'er ordered: "Bring some wool thread and wooden sticks."

"Yes, Fujin."

The woolen thread and the wooden sign are in hand. Tong Cheng'er taught the embroiderer how to stitch when she was in Mongolia, and she is not unfamiliar with it, after all, she was familiar with it earlier.

She is no stranger to getting started, but the speed is a bit touching.

After all, she is not used to this kind of thing, and she is not very handy.

So she worked for a long time until Yinzhen came back, and the result was less than five centimeters.

Not only that, but there were also wrong stitches and missing stitches during the period.

All in all it's not pretty.

Yinzhen was busy for a long time, refused the invitation from his subordinates, and returned to the courtyard.

When he came in, the people in Tong Cheng'er's courtyard wanted to greet him, and he waved his hand to signal them not to speak, so he went in directly.

As soon as I got to the door, I heard voices coming from inside.

"Ru Lan, take it out and dismantle it!" The tone of saying this couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.

She had seen the scarves woven by the embroiderer, and they were very beautiful. Obviously, she had taught the embroiderer how to stitch, but the result was good, but she couldn't weave a decent scarf.

Tong Cheng'er felt that she was really stupid.

Ru Lan looked at the short piece, and comforted her, "Fujin's weaving is not bad, I guess it's a hand-made one, it should be fine if you get familiar with it."

Tong Cheng'er looked at the thing in her hand, and couldn't bear to look directly at it: "Forget it, take it out and dismantle it first, and then talk about it when you get familiar with it later."

Anyway, it's still early for winter, so take your time!

Yinzhen heard a few words without beginning and end, and he went in at this moment.

As soon as Yinzhen entered, Tong Cheng'er heard footsteps, and looked up, it turned out to be Yinzhen.

She hurriedly hid the "defective product" in her hand, and then asked in surprise, "Why are you back?"

Yinzhen raised his eyebrows: "Why, shouldn't I come back?"

Tong Cheng'er asked Ru Lan: "What time is it?"

Ru Lan replied: "Go back to Fujin, it's already noon."

Tong Cheng'er was taken aback when she heard the words, she didn't feel that the time passed so quickly, how come it's time for lunch!

Yinzhen said to Rulan: "You go prepare lunch!"

Ru Lan said respectfully, "Yes."

After Rulan left, Tong Cheng'er said to Yinzhen: "It's all my fault, I was so busy that I forgot the time."

Yinzhen shook his head: "It's my fault, it's all because I came back too early."

Tong Cheng'er: ...

Yinzhen asked: "I saw you hiding something when I came in just now, what are you hiding?"

Tong Cheng'er quickly shook her head: "There is nothing hidden."

Yinzhen looked disbelieving: "I've seen it all."

Tong Cheng'er couldn't bear Yinzhen's questioning, and finally took out the "defective product" reluctantly.

Yinzhen took it over, looked at it, and said with a smile, "Not bad!"

Tong Cheng'er glared at him, who was she sarcastic about?

Snatching the "defective product" from his hand, she said: "I still know myself, and it's too much for you to say that."

Yinzhen said seriously: "I said it's true, everything Cheng'er does is good."

Tong Cheng'er: ...

That piece of "defective product" Tong Cheng'er wanted to take it apart, but Yinzhen said he would keep it, but he took it away in the end.

As for what to do with it, Tong Cheng'er doesn't know.

She didn't really want to know either.

What she didn't know was that the last piece of scarf, which she called a "defective product", was finally put in a sandalwood box by Yinzhen, and then Su Peisheng sent it back to the capital and put it in his study. .

This was the first time that Xiao Fujin made something for him, Yinzhen kept it as a thought.

Yinzhen is very busy in Jiangnan, but no matter how busy he is, he will try to eat three meals a day with Tong Chenger as much as possible.

The subordinates on the Jiangnan side were very puzzled, they had no chance to invite the master to a meal, but when they inquired, they heard that the master was going back to the house to accompany Fujin for a meal, everyone was surprised when they heard this.

Jiangnan is not close to the capital, and most of Yinzhen's people in Jiangnan were arranged by him before he got married, so I really don't know that Tong Cheng'er, the Sifu Jin, is a famous "jealous woman" in Beijing. .

Women can become "jealous" because men are willing to give them a chance. If it weren't for Yinzhen's willingness to pamper her, Tong Cheng'er's reputation as a "jealous woman" would definitely not be on her head.

At most, people say "not virtuous enough" or something like that.

Now that Yinzhen's subordinates have found out about it, it is naturally impossible for them to say nothing at all. Before they found out about Si Fujin, they wanted to treat guests and send women away.

Now that he has found out about it, he naturally understands Sifu Jin's position in the master's heart, so he can't do such things as treating guests to dinner and sending off women.

After all, when they treat guests to dinner, they don't let the master accompany Fujin. If Fujin is not happy and a pillow falls down, it will be self-defeating.

As for sending women, they don't want to die.

Tong Cheng'er is only a little more familiar with weaving scarves here, and she can officially start weaving. She was about to show off her skills, but she received many invitations.

"Fu Jin, today the concierge has sent ten greeting cards."

Tong Cheng'er was taken aback when she heard the words: "Ten greeting cards?"

She heard it right!
This is much more than what the noble ladies of the capital handed over in order to inquire about the sofa.

Ru Lan: "Yes, Fujin."

Tong Cheng'er asked: "Who sent them all the invitations."

Ru Lan replied: "I see that most of them are the wives of the merchants under the master's hand, and the other one is sent by Mrs. Zhizhou."

Tong Cheng'er heard that there were so many invitations, it was impossible to refuse them all, and besides, she also wanted to do something for Yinzhen when she came here this time.

There are actually many things she can do with her identity, Yinzhen didn't mention it, because she was afraid that she would be tired, and didn't want to force her.

If he didn't mention it, she didn't take the initiative to mention it, but now that the posts have been sent, she has no reason to refuse.

Tong Cheng'er said to Rulan and Ruxue: "The reply said that I will hold a flower viewing feast in a few days, and I will invite them to come over then, and I will also invite some female relatives of wealthy businessmen's families to come."

Ruxue and Rulan: "Yes, Fujin."

Tong Chenger didn't hide the fact that she was going to hold a flower viewing feast from Yinzhen, of course, the main reason was that she couldn't hide it either.

After Yinzhen knew about it, he asked Xiao Fujin: "Why do you think of holding a flower viewing feast? Aren't you the most impatient of these?"

Tong Cheng'er: "I'm not looking at your hard work. After a flower viewing banquet, you will be treated with Mongolian specialties and a few cups of milk tea. After the publicity, you will be able to relax when the pillow winds down."

Yinzhen did an investigation and found that Mongolian specialties did not appear to be "acclimatized" when they arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, but the biggest problem was the wealthy businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River.

If he directly occupies the market, even if he is the prince elder brother, he can't protect him. After all, he can't stay in Jiangnan for a long time, and Jiangnan is full of fish and dragons, and there are everyone, so it's hard to say.

It would indeed be much better if we started with the female relatives.
