Chapter 22 Zhu Cui Lou
The carriage slowly trotted on the bluestone road.
Jiang Zhixia lifted the small curtain of the carriage and looked out. People on the street came and went, and there was a lively scene.
The more south the carriage goes, the more lively it becomes.
Most of the people living in Beifang are literati.
Although the reputation of literati is very good, "Qing" means that there is not much money. Therefore, the consumption level is quite average, and naturally, the lively level on the street is reduced.
Most of the people living in Nanfang are inhabited by merchants. It cannot be said that all the people living in the country are wealthy businessmen who are rich, but there are quite a lot of merchants with a little savings.
I dare not say that all the shops are merchants, but merchants account for the vast majority. Whether it is big merchants, small merchants, or businessmen, even vendors setting up stalls next to the streets are full of rows on the road.
Therefore, most of the houses in Nanfang are built to live in the back and shops in the front.
Jiang Zhixia got off the carriage at the entrance of Nanfang. What she saw was the most lively and famous Sheng'an Street in Nanfang.
This is a place where even the princes and princesses in the palace want to come and visit after leaving the palace.
On Sheng'an Street, there are many shops, with two-story and three-story small buildings. The colorful banners at the entrance of the shop are waving in the wind.
There were people coming and going on the streets, including civilian girls with veils, children running around with their parents' hands, elderly people sitting and shaking with palm fans, young men dressed in gorgeous clothes, and ladies entering various shops under the hustle and bustle of servants.
Not only is the lively level much higher than Feng'an Street, but even the dresses of people setting up stalls on the roadside are obviously much better than Feng'an Street.
After Jiang Zhixia got off the carriage, she walked slowly while listening to the various chattering messages from the people passing by. It was either that the embroidery of this house looked beautiful or that the cloth of that house was fine and smooth.
When he was in the palace, Jiang Zhixia heard the palace maids chatting that basically the shops on Sheng'an Street had backstages.
The owners of these shops may not be noble ministers or their families, but these shops basically have some of the family members of these noble ministers. The purpose is to not be bullied or squeezed away by others.
After all, with such a famous and lively geographical location, there are many merchants who want to settle in.
The backers of these merchants are either this Duke's Mansion or the Marquis' Mansion, and some ministers, even the royal princes and princesses.
So on this street, the yamen visit the most frequently.
There is no such thing as hooligans or thieves, but it is very rare compared to other streets in the streets.
Sheng'an Street is the best street in other shops except Dongfang. After all, almost all the people living in Dongfang are nobles, so there are few shops on the street.
Jiang Zhixia asked passers-by, found several jewelry stores on Sheng'an Street, and went in next to them to take a look, listened, and felt the introduction of the shop's shop.
After visiting all the jewelry stores on Sheng'an Street, Zhixia was really tired. She was not the kind of person who could go shopping in her previous life. She stayed at home more often, so it was really hard to understand where those women who wore high heels and strolled around for a day got so much energy.
When Jiang Zhixia saw a teahouse with banners on the roadside, she hurried in and ordered a pot of tea and a plate of snacks. She sat down and drank tea and ate snacks while listening to the people next to her chat.
After all, the content I chatted in the lobby is not afraid of others listening to, but I have already gone to the private room upstairs.
Zhixia listened to others' chatting, but she specially rewarded the staff in the teahouse and inquired about the general situation of the various jewelry shops on Sheng'an Street.
He was shopping in the jewelry shop, listening to people on the road, listening to people chatting in the tea shop, and asking the tea shop staff. After working hard, Jiang Zhixia finally concluded that Zhu Cuilou is the most worthy jewelry shop to cooperate with.
Zhu Cuilou changed his new owner a few years ago and leaned on the Weiwu Hou Mansion.
Zhu Cuilou's new owner did not appear in front of others, so although everyone has many speculations, they have not obtained a clear conclusion. Although there is no clear conclusion, based on various information, it seems that the new owner should be from the Weiwu Hou Mansion.
The Weiwu Hou Mansion did not deny this rumor, and it was considered a disguised default. Therefore, Zhu Cuilou's backer was considered the Weiwu Hou Mansion.
Marquis of Weiwu has been in the Dixin for the past two years. Although he is a military general, he is very sleek in his work. Not only does he have a good relationship with the military generals, it is said that he has a good relationship with several civil officials.
Today's emperor is a wise ruler. Even if he has good relationships, he will not think that he is forming a clan for personal gain.
Therefore, Weiwuhou can still withstand the face. Zhu Cuilou has not been in trouble in recent years.
The shopkeeper of Zhu Cuilou is a long-standing shopkeeper.
It is said that it was also dug up by the new owner from another family. He is hospitality, sleek and thoughtful, and is honest and fair in his work, and is free from deception.
Although Zhu Cuilou's jewelry has no innovation in style, its workmanship is very exquisite. Even gold can be made into thin gold leaves.
It meets the needs of those who want to buy gold jewelry but don’t have that much money, so Zhu Cuilou’s business has always been quite good on Sheng'an Street.
The craftsman in Zhu Cuilou is the famous skillful Liu. The Liu family is a ancestral family of jewelry craftsmen.
When it comes to the generation of Jieshou Liu, his craftsmanship has become more and more exquisite. Several jewelry shops have been competing for this person, and I don’t know how Zhu Cuilou was dug up.
Jiang Zhixia knew that with good-looking jewelry patterns, if the jewelry makers were not skilled, the effect of the jewelry would be greatly reduced.
Just like a golden ancient bracelet called "Inheritance" was first created in a Fuli in his previous life. After it was released, there were many imitations from merchants. Almost every jewelry brand has bracelets of similar styles.
Even so, "Inheritance" is still the hottest seller, even if it is a little more expensive. Everyone says that the luminosity and color of "Inheritance" are the best.
Jiang Zhixia also has an ancient golden bracelet that was "inherited". She spent a huge amount of money to buy it for more than 20,000 yuan. She kept wearing it on her hands and often looked around.
As a non-professional person, she didn't have the extra money to buy other gold ancient bracelets for comparison, so she naturally couldn't see what the light sensitivity and color are good.
Although I can't tell what's good about it, it doesn't affect my popularity.
Anyway, superb skills are the fundamental ones.
To sum up, Zhu Cuilou is the most worthy business to cooperate with after comparison.
An honest master is the first choice for cooperation, so a craftsman with superb skills is the icing on the cake.
Jiang Zhixia sat in the teahouse for a while, and it was almost the same when she heard it. It was not too early. So she put on her hat and went to Zhucui Tower again.
