Crossing the Homeland

Chapter 407

The old shopkeeper Pan of Panji Cloth Village is drinking wine with the shopkeeper Wang of Jixiang Dyeing Workshop. The place is: Jufulou elegant room.

The old shopkeeper Pan is over 60 years old, which is very old in this era where the average life expectancy is not high.However, he is old enough to have a son, and his son is only sixteen years old this year, and he is still studying, so he can only carry the cloth down by himself.

"I see that your old body is still healthy and healthy." Shopkeeper Wang said, "Young Lord has always been filial, and you will be blessed in the future."

Old shopkeeper Pan took a sip of his wine, narrowed his eyes, and sighed in satisfaction. "I know everything about my kid. He is good at reading, but these things..." Shaking his head, "I'm afraid he can sell a piece of silk for a penny. The family is full of women and children. A few years ago, I saved 300 taels of dowry for his elder sister and second sister, and if I hadn’t supported him, the whole family would not have been able to drink Northwest Wind.”

Shopkeeper Wang also knows about this.Back then, it was a lively event for the old shopkeeper Pan to marry a daughter, and the shopkeepers of the cloth shop all went to join in the show, because in the next town, the dowries of the two daughters were quite generous, so they were afraid that they would be looked down upon by their in-laws.

"Originally, I wanted to live a peaceful and stable life, but I didn't know..." Old shopkeeper Pan sighed, "How can things change in a blink of an eye?"

Shopkeeper Wang of Jixiang Dyeing Workshop did not understand what he was talking about.

Originally, everyone was only looking forward to Zhou Ji, but suddenly a congratulatory note appeared, backed by the Tang family.So many good materials are dyed every year, do you think they are sold to Zhou Ji or He Ji?Zhou Ji is old friends with everyone, but He Ji is rich and powerful...

It was already a headache enough, but Xia Ji stepped in again!
All the shopkeepers are about to burst into tears, so don't make trouble if you're the one who runs the restaurant! !
At first, everyone didn't think there was anything wrong, they just thought that Xia Junyan, a woman who loves to dance, couldn't be idle anymore.But soon they realized that something was wrong. Xia Junyan is now a food shop, yes, but she also opened a cloth shop before!The Xiuyi Pavilion, which had been closed for a long time, reopened after she became a shareholder.

Isn't this obviously forcing everyone to stand in line early?

Xiuyi Pavilion directly stood on Zhou Ji's side, and the rest of the cloth dealers...you can figure it out.

So recently, I often see the shopkeeper of the cloth shop and the Dongjiamen get together in twos and threes, or in restaurants, or teahouses, or in their own small courtyards.

After drinking some wine, the shopkeeper Wang felt heartbroken and said: "The new batch of cloth from my place, or should I send it to you?"

The old shopkeeper Pan was a little drunk at first, but when he heard this, he suddenly became sober: "Brother, don't hurt me!!"

Shopkeeper Wang lost all thoughts, and said dejectedly: "You are an old man, you dare not accept it...I-hey!!"

"I don't know if you've found out, brother—" old shopkeeper Pan lowered his voice and said mysteriously.Shopkeeper Wang immediately moved his head closer, and only heard the other party say, "The key to this matter actually lies in Xia Ji!"

"How to say?"

"Shopkeeper Xia... is a capable person."

Old shopkeeper Pan sighed.

Shopkeeper Wang looked over helplessly, "It's natural." He was too aware of the little girl's abilities. Back then, no one could enter Mr. Mo's Sealing and Dyeing Workshop, but she ended up wandering in like a vegetable market.

Seeing him like that, old shopkeeper Pan knew that he didn't know, so he said, "My kid is in Master Chen's Qingyun Academy."

"En?" Shopkeeper Wang raised his eyebrows slightly, why did he suddenly change the subject?

"These days, Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Chen often invite shopkeeper Xia to sit in Chen's mansion. I am half acquainted with Zhou Ji's old grandson. According to him, the list of Chen's mansion has been set in advance by Zhou Ji. Shopkeeper Xia, she She is Mrs. Chen's guest, and if you give a lecture at the Women's School, you have to address her as Mr. in the academy!"
