Concubine's plan

Between treating her illness and buying bedding, Xun Yingju decided without hesitation to buy cloth and cotton to make new bedding. A group of people arrived at the cloth shop in the capital and inquired about the prices. They found that the cloth in the capital was too expensive. Coarse cloth cost one tael of silver per batch, while fine fabric cost one tael and five coins.

Clothes and bedding for hundreds of people cost hundreds of pieces of cloth, which totaled hundreds of taels of silver. It wasn't that Xun Yingju didn't want to spend the money. She had just arrived in the capital and had already spent a lot of money before she had any money. silver.

Seeing Xun Yingju frowning, the boy at Cloth Village guessed that the little girl thought the cloth was too expensive, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked,"How many pieces of cloth do you plan to buy and what will it be used for?"

Xun Yingju didn't hide it and told the story. Once again, and said that if the price is right, we will cooperate with you for a long time in the future. After finishing speaking, Xun Yingju looked at the waiter with big eyes, hoping that the other party could give a good answer, and said with a smile:"Can the waiter have any idea?"

"Girl, wait a moment. I'll go inside and talk to the shopkeeper to see if there's any way."After the waiter finished speaking, he turned around and ran to the back hall.

Xun Yingju was not in a hurry and wandered leisurely in the cloth shop. Not long after, the waiter ran out of the inner hall and said with a smile:"Girl, please come this way. Our shopkeeper has something to say"

"good."Xun Yingju nodded slightly and took Aunt Jiang and Yu Sheng into the inner hall with the waiter.

Passing through the inner hall, they came to a courtyard, where a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties was sitting. Drinking tea. When the man saw someone coming in, he stood up to say hello and said with a smile:"Is it the girl who wants to buy more cloth?"

"Exactly."Xun Yingju feels that this shopkeeper is very bad at doing business. When he came to the door last time, he was still sitting here like an uncle. If this was placed in the sales industry in the future, I am afraid he would have been fired by the boss eight hundred times. But this is a big business To be able to open such a large cloth shop in the capital of Zhou Dynasty must have an extraordinary background, and he is not a person that ordinary people can mess with.

Sure enough, the shopkeeper looked at Xun Yingju carefully, and finally said with a smile:"The girl wants a lot. I don’t ask for quality. I still have a lot of old unsold cloth that has been accumulated for many years. The quality is okay, but the color is not very pretty. I wonder if the girl would mind."

This is indeed a good thing. The quality of the backlog of cloth is good, and it is good to be able to wear warm cotton clothes for those people, so he nodded and said:"What's the price?"

"A bolt of coarse cloth costs four hundred coins, and a bolt of fine cloth costs five hundred coins."The shopkeeper replied smoothly. He was worried about how to deal with the cloth that was squeezed in the warehouse. Unexpectedly, he met a young girl who knew the goods today. Naturally, he also wanted to get rid of the cloth so that he could clear out the inventory and use the warehouse. Packing new cloth. It is said that every inch of land in the capital is precious, so it is really a waste to use so many places to store the backlog of cloth.

Xun Yingju calculated silently in her heart, and found that a hundred pieces of cloth can save half of the silver, and immediately nodded and said:"Bring it with you" Let's go over and have a look."

Yusheng and Aunt Jiang on the side also had smiles on their faces. They are old people who have endured hard times with Xun Yingju. They understand that Xun Yingju can earn money, but it is also hard work. She can save a tael, so she also has a smile on her face. I was so excited that I wanted to follow him.

When the shopkeeper saw the expressions of the family, he suddenly understood. With a bit of contempt in his eyes, he still asked the waiter to take a few people to the warehouse. The family was poor, and the waiter complained in his heart. He said, the originally excited look on his face turned cold, and he led people directly to the warehouse. He opened the door and said,"All the backlog of cloth is in there. Don't mess up all our cloths when you go in.""

"This is natural." Before Xun Yingju could say anything, Yusheng hurriedly grabbed the topic and said, she didn't want her girl to be underestimated by these people who looked down on others. They were servants, so they would naturally have to bear these things.

Xun Yingju understood Yusheng's thoughts. , Naturally, he didn’t say much. He was very grateful to the sound of rain in his heart and stood aside obediently without saying anything.

Aunt Jiang said:"Girl, you rest here, we can do this.""

"Auntie, there's no need to be like this. We are all a family. Let's finish these things as soon as possible so that we can go back to eat."Xun Yingju was not polite and took the lead into the warehouse.

The waiter had no intention of leaving. He stood at the door with his arms folded, as if he was half on guard against the others. They didn't mind. They came to buy cloth, not to steal. It was made of cloth. People used to look at it.

This warehouse had not been used for a long time. All the cloths were covered with a layer of cloth. There was a lot of dust on the cloth. Several people worked together to lift the cloth covering it. , picked up the fine fabrics at hand and looked carefully, and found that these cloths were indeed as good as the shopkeeper said. The quality of these cloths was good, and some of them were new. It was just that the color was not very good, so you could not buy them as good ones. , rich people are not willing to buy such cloth, but it is no problem to buy it for the servants of Zhuangzi.

Xun Yingju took Aunt Jiang and Yusheng and others to rummage in the warehouse, and it took about an hour. Time, I found nearly five hundred pieces of cloth at once, and then came out of the warehouse. Several people were all disgraced. Fortunately, they had achieved outstanding results, otherwise it would have exploded.

This time, the waiter did not dare to neglect, and the seemingly cheap things, No one wants these pieces of cloth. Now someone wants so much at once. I think it is to clean up the inventory for them. In the future, this warehouse can put new pieces of cloth. I looked at Xun Yingju and the others in surprise, and there was no longer any contempt in their eyes. expression.

In this regard, Xun Yingju acted as if nothing happened and said:"Please help us move to the carriage outside, and by the way, ask the shopkeeper to come over and settle the accounts.""

"Okay, okay, I'll go ask the shopkeeper to come over."The waiter nodded immediately and ran out. Not long after, the shopkeeper came over.

Seeing Xun Yingju and others picking out so many backlogs of cloth, they were also surprised, but he had seen too many scenes and didn't say much. , but immediately started to calculate the accounts. After about a cup of tea, the shopkeeper finally calculated the price and said with a smile:"I kept you waiting, girl, these cloths total two hundred and thirty taels of silver."After saying that, she looked at Xun Yingju with a smile, fearing that Xun Yingju would regret it now or move back to the warehouse.

Seeing the shopkeeper's expression, Xun Yingju looked at Aunt Jiang and said,"Auntie, please settle the account."

Since arriving in the capital, Xun Yingju has not been able to manage the money personally. All the money is with Aunt Jiang, so now the settlement has to be left to Aunt Jiang.

Aunt Jiang did not waste any time and immediately followed the shopkeeper to settle the bill. Er Ze and the guards brought by Xun Yingju moved the cloth to the carriage. Xun Yingju also felt embarrassed looking at the small mountain of cloth.
