Meng asked Madam Wu to take Song Wanyue to find someone.
After leaving the house, the two of them took a carriage to the shop.
There are many shops for Meng’s dowry, most of which are on the busiest streets in Beijing, and the distance is not far away. Some are used by themselves and some are rented out.
They went to a shop selling fabrics. The silk and silk brocade in Jiangnan are the best. In a month, people will be transported by a boat to Mengyang. Therefore, the shops here are also very famous and there are many customers.
Manager Liu was one of the shopkeepers who came with Meng's dowry back then. Over the years, Manager Jin managed all the shops with Manager Jin and was loyal.
The carriage was driving on the road, and Song Wanyue lifted the curtains and looked out. The spring was warm, and there were more people on the street, with hawking and shouting endlessly.
"I bought ten shops for my wife on this street."
Madam Wu smiled and said, thinking about the sensation when Meng came to the capital. At that time, the Xu family was not so famous, but it was also a scholarly family. I heard that a woman from a business family was married and she said everything. Until my uncle spent hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in one go, and bought ten shops on this street with a big deal. Those people shut up.
Song Wanyue imagined that scene, "How rich is my grandmother's family!"
"Although the Meng family is not the richest man in Jiangnan, they are also one of the best families. There are only two uncles and wife siblings. The wife is married far away. The old lady is afraid that she will be bullied and wants to give her half of her family business as a dowry."
Song Wanyue nodded and was about to put down the curtain when she suddenly saw a familiar figure and narrowed her eyes.
Over there, Wu Sheng came out of a shop and almost ran into Huang Yu. He hurriedly apologized, "Miss, I'm sorry."
Topaz took a step back.
"Hey, you're not that..."
Wu Sheng recognized her, but when Huang Yu saw that she didn't remember, she reminded her, "On the day on the road, your carriage broke, and my coachman helped you repair it."
Huang Yu remembered and was blessed, "Thank you, my son that day."
"You are just a simple task..."
Before he could finish his words, a voice came from a carriage, "Miss Topaz."
Wu Sheng looked over in the voice and saw that it was Song Wanyue, and his face retracted his gaze without changing his expression.
"Miss Song."
Topaz was very surprised.
She came out to buy things today, and Song Wanyue asked her to follow her to Jiangnan. She was very grateful and wanted to come over to buy some fabrics and make some clothes for Song Wanyue on the way as thanks.
Song Wanyue looked at her and asked with a smile, "You are..."
Naturally, Huang Yu couldn't say that he was here to make clothes for her, and replied, "I'll buy some things I'll use on the road."
"Then he is..."
Song Wanyue looked at Wu Sheng.
"Our carriage broke down on our way to the capital. It was the young master who asked his entourage to repair it."
Huang Yu was afraid that Song Wanyue would misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained.
Song Wanyue nodded and looked at Wu Sheng openly.
Wu Sheng was afraid that she could see the clues, so he nodded slightly at her, turned his head and left with his followers, walked a long way, unable to feel Song Wanyue's gaze, and let out a long breath.
After returning to the capital, he had been trying to find an opportunity to approach Huang Yu, and he didn't find it until today. He originally wanted to take this opportunity to leave an impression on Huang Yu, but unexpectedly it was destroyed by Song Wanyue.
Seeing that the person was gone, Song Wanyue withdrew her gaze and was about to speak, but she felt Madam Wu quietly pulling her sleeve and looking over.
Madam Wu opened her mouth and said silently, "Jin Hao."
Song Wanyue is getting bright. Jin Hao should have invited Huang Yu in this shop with a smile, "There are many people here, you can get on the carriage, and I'll find someone to accompany you in a while."
Huang Yu thought she asked Madam Wu to accompany her, and thought that she was not familiar with the place here, so she got on the carriage.
The silk shop is not far from the shop selling rouge powder and scar removal cream. When it opened, Song Wanyue passed by the store and praised the shop for its good business, but she didn't expect it to be her grandmother's.
The carriage stopped at the door of the store. As soon as Song Wanyue got off, Jin Hao's surprise voice sounded, "Miss Song, why are you here?"
He is the clerk in this store and is responsible for greeting guests at the door today.
Hearing his voice, Huang Yu's face turned red, who was about to get off the carriage.
Song Wanyue saw it, then looked at Jin Hao, who was full of spring breeze on his face, and was full of energy from the inside out, and smiled, "We are here to find Manager Liu, is he here?"
"Hey, here, please, I'll invite the shopkeeper to come."
"No hurry, there are still people on the carriage."
Jin Hao looked over and saw Huang Yu getting off the carriage. He subconsciously reached out his hand to support him. He even stretched out his hand. He remembered that Song Wanyue was still beside him, so he hurriedly took it back, blushing and stuttering, "Huang, Miss Huang."
Huang Yu blushed and nodded in a low voice.
"You guys are here to ask me, I'll call the shopkeeper."
After saying that, he ran to the backyard. After a while, a man about the same age as Madam Wu hurried over from behind with his clothes, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on Song Wanyue.
During these days, he had heard too many rumors about Song Wanyue and was very curious about what kind of person Song Wanyue was? He could cause sensation again and again in the capital. Now, when he saw it, it was as he imagined, as he was as he had imagined, exquisite, and quiet and generous.
He saluted, his voice was a little excited, "I've seen Miss Sun."
Song Wanyuexu helped him, "You are polite, I'm here to find you today."
"Miss Sun, please tell me."
"I want to rent a big boat, and my grandmother said you are more familiar with the dock."
"Yes, the little one has been dealing with people on the dock for decades."
"Then I'll trouble Manager Liu."
Manager Liu waved his hands repeatedly and ordered his friend to prepare a carriage.
Song Wanyue took the opportunity to ask Jin Hao for a long time off, asked him to accompany Huang Yu to buy things, and then sent the person back to Nancheng.
Manager Liu just thought Huang Yu was Song Wanyue's maid, but when he heard her order, Jin Hao understood a little and immediately approved the fake.
The carriage drove over, and Manager Liu went up, led the way in front, and came to the pier outside the city.
The pier was very large, and passenger ships and merchant ships were docked in different locations. Manager Liu was very familiar with the people here and went directly to find the manager. He heard that they wanted to rent a big boat, and the manager took them over and pointed to a big boat docked in the middle, "This one is the largest here and can accommodate a hundred people."
"Can I go up and take a look?"
The in charge shouted to the boat, "Wang Wu, there are customers who want to rent a boat."
With the response, a stout man got off the boat. He was the owner of the boat. When he saw several people, he thought it was Manager Liu who wanted to rent the boat and asked, "Where do you want to rent the boat?"
"Go to Jiangnan."
"Jiangnan?"
Wang Wu was very happy. It would take at least twenty days to go to Jiangnan. He had not taken such a big deal for a long time, so he immediately asked a few people to board the boat with a smile.
In the distance, Wu Sheng looked at all this and whispered a few words to his followers.
