Chapter 299
He Mingtai's heart skipped a beat, but Zhou Zhong's face was still honest and honest: "Every family has good embroidery workers. You were introduced by a guest. I dare not hide it. Tell the truth first, so that you don't blame me for your trip."

The corner of Zheng Kejia's mouth was taunting: "I came here voluntarily, and I don't do your business for nothing, as long as you have something." Zhou Zhong was still not angry, praise and criticism are the buyers, and this person has a lot of background , he smiled and asked again: "What do you want, I will give it to you if I have it, and I will do it for you if I don't?"

"It sounds good to my ears. Concubine Xiao in Beijing is celebrating her birthday. I want an agate bowl and a jasper basin, but you don't have any." Zheng Ke's family made fun of it again, and then half-truthfully said: "I heard that you have some here There are no other things, ruby ​​red brocade, fine yarn skirt with thread, do you have any of these looks?"

Zhou Zhong added a little bit of respect, ignoring his jokes, and said: "To tell you the truth, the shop doesn't have any of these things." He originally wanted to say that only the Guo family has them, but Zheng Ke's fan shook slightly: "Don't talk about the Guo family, I just met Mrs. Guo's young lady, she said no, and you probably won't have any." He laughed.

He Mingtai was still young, when he saw him coming to the door insolently, he showed displeasure and endured it.Most of the yard was dark, with only half a circle of light from the candlelight.The starlight is like tonight, the moonlight is not clear, and He Mingtai is not in the candlelight. Zheng Ke's family seems to have noticed that he doesn't like it, and looked up at him with eyes like torches: "My little boss, what do you want to say?"

Zhou Zhong stopped him: "He's still young, let's talk if we have something to say." His attitude was respectful, and Zheng Ke's family liked it again: "Forget it, I was joking with you, we want this ruby ​​red dye, but I heard that the pigment is rare. I didn’t even measure you. I found your door to ask about the clothes that the lotus blooms in summer, but it’s still hard to find?”

"It's autumn and winter soon, and there are still people wearing this kind of unlined clothes?" Zhou Zhong needed to ask clearly, and after a dozen or so sentences, Zheng Ke's family finally said: "Some things go out of the mouth, barbarians outside the pass love this kind of clothes." Zhou Zhong said nothing, I think I can say it too.There are few lotus flowers outside the pass, and there are people who love such light and pretty clothes.

After two quarters of an hour, the neighbors went to bed early and were silent. In the silence, Zheng Ke's family said slowly: "If you have business, you should do it. You must know that I am actually here for the brocade dyed with ruby ​​red. I don't want to, alas. , How can I meet the master when I go back?"

Zhou Zhong felt a chill on his hairs, and seemed to have a big deal in his head, so he pretended to ask casually, "Which one is your master?" In the past, He Mingtai, who couldn't get used to his arrogance, wanted to suppress him, and interjected: "I can do it if I really want to, but the brocade is very expensive, I don't know who is your master?"

"Do you have any?" Zheng Kejia's eyes lit up when he heard that, and Zhou Zhong winked at He Mingtai. The customer who came to find out the details can do business, but there is no need to confront him.

He Mingtai is young and temperamental, he ignores Zhou Zhong, and instead acts arrogantly: "Ruby red brocade is a rare dye, and the Guo family has this dye, which is their exclusive item. Unfortunately, people from Prince Ning's mansion bought all of them a few days ago. Go, if you want more, just scrape the corners of the shops in the city, maybe you can get a few horses, but every inch of brocade is not worth an inch of gold, but it is worth an inch of silver, if you buy it and resell it, I’m afraid you won’t make any money.”

He kindly reminded Zheng Kejia that he was laughing wildly, which made He Mingtai angry, and Zhou Zhong was also puzzled, what was the reason?

No one spoke in the yard, only the laughter of Zheng Ke's family, and looking at the people who came with him, they also laughed dismissively.It was not easy for Zheng Ke's family to finish laughing, and said in a low voice arrogantly, "I didn't tell you when I came here that Concubine Xiao's birthday is here."

Zhou Zhong was awe-inspiring, and He Mingtai was surprised. The two of them looked at this person together again, and he was full of energy and looked extraordinary. "What's the matter?" Zheng Ke's family asked, and Zhou Zhong said honestly, "I've been here for shopping in Prince Ning's mansion, are you?"

"Hmph, look at your old economy, and you are so ignorant. Is it impossible for only one prince to honor Concubine Xiao? To tell you the truth, I am not in the palace of King Ning, and the buyer of King Ning is still outside, but Ruby Red The brocade was sent back first, King Ning was satisfied and sent it to the palace, saying that the palace was also satisfied, and asked if there was any more, our master begged to do something, and wanted to show this hospitality. Fortunately, we want to buy, brother Zeng bought from you, It is said that although the shop is small, there is still fine work, anyway, I don't take up time, so I will come here."

Zhou Zhong and He Mingtai listened to Zheng Ke's words and kept silent. Zheng Ke's family got excited: "Can you get it? If I get one, I want one?"

"I guess there are two horses. If there are too many, I'm afraid it won't work." He Mingtai felt that he had guessed the leader, and he didn't dare to be careless. He said it with a smile. It’s money for clothes and order money, our master is waiting to use it, and it’s so fragrant right now, we businessmen all know that you can make a lot of money when you go, if you have it, just ask someone to give it to me.”

The candlelight shone on the bank note, which turned out to be a large-value bank note. Zhou Zhong was thoughtful, and He Mingtai was in a hurry. He couldn't wait for Zhou Zhong to speak: "Okay, I will try my best to do it."

The bank note that was put down said 1000 taels, and Zheng Ke’s family smiled and didn’t quite believe it: “Little brother, 1000 taels of silver a piece, I’ll take it.” Zhou Zhong still felt it was inappropriate to send Zheng Ke’s family away, and asked He Mingtai, “Where are you?” Can you get it?"

"There are people from Prince Ning's mansion. I paid attention to see what they like. There is this ruby ​​red brocade. I have also met a lot of guys from the single gang these days. Someone chatted with me the day before yesterday, like Guo's second room. There are also two horses that are in storage, they are from the bottom of the second room grandma's box, I went to buy them with a lot of money, and I only bought 600 taels at Prince Ning's mansion, I will sell them to him for 700 taels, and 1000 taels."

Zhou Zhong had nothing to say, and the two closed the door to sleep.

The Wang family also received a message from Qiu Er the next day, and Wu Qiaoshou was still the messenger: "The shopkeeper Qiu drank flowers and wine with the guests all night, and found out all the details. It was going out of the mouth, maybe going to Dashi. He said that every inch of brocade is precious, and he was in a hurry to go back and set off, regardless of the price, he just wanted it."

"Where is there any more?" Wang frowned, but Wuqiao had an idea: "This ruby ​​red brocade, you have a dress, and Mrs. Zhou's young lady has a dress. She was wearing it this morning, and it was bright red. I really don’t like it. The two housekeepers praised the clothes in private and let me hear them, saying that they don’t have any at home, and there are a few horses in the bottom of the box at the grandma’s place in the second room.”

Mrs. Wang immediately had an idea, 1000 taels of silver a piece. There is no such thing at home, and the aunt in the second room keeps it for herself. She thought that her mother-in-law, Mrs. Guo, would not let her sell it, so she said to Wuqiao: "Let Qiu Er come to buy it, just buy it." Said, someone is celebrating birthday, as long as this."

One day later, shopkeeper Qiu Er wrapped the thousands of taels of ruby-red brocade with ordinary cloth and closed the door. After closing the door and opening it, there were four pieces in total. When he held it in his hands and shook it slightly, it seemed that there was red water flowing in the room. .

Zheng Ke's family was very excited, and said to Qiu Er: "To be honest with you, this thing is going to a small country in the Western Regions. They have gold and precious stones, but they can't weave such fine fabrics. Sending this thing can bring several times the profit. "
