Although Manager Jin feels that doing more is worse than doing less, even if he wants to save people, what can a girl in Hongxiu know?
However, after all, it was the Jin family’s mistress who specifically asked to take care of these three concubines who were released from the Jin family, so Manager Jin followed the three of them.
As soon as Manager Jin came up, he saw Hong Xiu hugging Tong'er from behind, making fists with both hands against the child's chest and abdomen. When Manager Jin stood still, he saw a piece of Tong'er vomited. Something comes out.
After the lump in his throat was vomited out, the little child, who had been holding back his blushing face, was able to breathe heavily. Before the woman could comfort him, he started crying loudly.
The lady was crying with snot and tears while she was holding the little child. Everyone onlookers were talking about how the little child almost suffocated to death just now. Just when Hongxiu wanted to When I was leaving directly, a dozen people rushed over from the shore of the pier.
One of them, a short, fat man with a double beard, ran at the front. Everyone naturally realized that these dozen people must be relatives of the woman and child in front of them, so they consciously made way for them.
The short and fat man came closer and called the woman "Qiong Niang". The woman, Qiong Niang, then raised her head and looked at the short and fat man. Qiong Niang's face was full of tears and she didn't say anything. There was still fear on his face.
"Baolang, he almost did it"
The short and fat man, Liu Qing, listened to his wife's incoherent words and the words of the people around him, Finally understood the whole story.
After traveling on the river for more than ten days, as soon as the boat docked, Baolang, a child who had had enough of riding in the boat, had to get off the boat.
Liu Qing was still counting the goods in the cabin. When he saw Baolang babbling, he asked Qiong Niang to take him off the ship to go shopping and buy some food.
Then, Qiong Niang carried Bao Lang off the boat. Bao Lang saw people buying glutinous rice to eat, so he shouted that he wanted to eat it too.
It was only a few copper coins of glutinous rice, so Qiongniang naturally paid for it.
Originally, Qiong Niang just wanted to give Bao Lang a bite to taste. After all, this sticky food was a bit difficult for a child whose teeth have not yet grown in.
But when Qiongniang handed someone the money, Baolang grabbed the glutinous rice in the lotus leaf and started eating it. Then an accident happened and he choked.
In this way, Hongxiu and the others saw the scene where the woman screamed and tried to pick out the glutinous rice in Baolang's mouth.
Liu Qing, who understood the whole story, quickly bowed deeply to Hongxiu. Hongxiu wanted to avoid it, but there was no room around him, so he had to accept the gift.
Before Hongxiu could say anything, Liu Qing directly pulled Baolang, who had stopped crying, over and asked him to kneel down and kowtow to Hongxiu, "Kneel down, if it weren't for this lady, you wouldn't be here today. It’s hard to say whether he’s alive or not.”
Liu Qing turned to Hongxiu and said, “My wife must accept this gift from him. Thank you for my little one’s presence today. Only Lang Jun can save his life.”
Baolang didn't understand, but Qiongniang did, and she taught Baolang to kowtow to the red sleeves.
"This, this can't be done, it can't be done"
In the end, Hong Xiu accepted Bao Lang's thanks.
It was also from this moment on that the three people in Hongxiu began to get help from noble people, so that the three of them could open their shop smoothly and get better and better.
Liu Qing is not an ordinary businessman. He only had a son when he was forty years old, and this son is Baolang.
It goes without saying how important the little boy Baolang is to Liu Qing. After all, he only got this child when he was over forty years old. He is really a treasure, otherwise he would not be called "Baolang".
Liu Qing also has some luck. Not only traveling south to north, but also traveling down the river to Yuhang (Zhejiang), even to Minyue (Fujian). , It took more than ten years of hard work to build such a family business. Therefore, after learning that it was Hongxiu who saved Baolang, Liu Qing paid a lot of money to reward Hongxiu, saying: "I am the only one in the Liu family, and Baolang is really important to me.
< br>If the lady hadn’t come forward to help, I, I would really...
So, I hope the lady will accept this silver, so that I can feel better.”
But, where would Hongxiu want this money?
She kept refusing, and finally saw that she could not refuse and said: "It's just a small effort, how can it be worth such a heavy reward?
If Liu Shang feels bad about it, it is better to sell it to him Can you bring me some goods from the south?
My two sisters," Hongxiu glanced at Lu Yi and Yingge beside her, "opened a shop specializing in women's items.
It would be best if we could buy some exquisite items that are commonly used by girls or that are rare.
In this way, it is Liu Shang's gratitude to me. ”
Hongxiu refused the huge amount of money and chose to establish a buying and selling relationship with Liu Qing. This choice seems to be very wise now.
Because Liu Qing’s goods come from all over the Tang Dynasty. , all kinds of goods are very complete, and earlier Liu Qing only sold the goods by the whole ship to the big businessmen in Jiangnan, and he was a powerful businessman in the local area
and bigger. Merchants have a monopoly on these goods and will only sell them to their own shops throughout the Tang Dynasty. For the middle and lower classes, it is difficult to buy good quality goods at a fair price
But because of saving Liu Qing's only son, Hongxiu used this credit to exchange for a small batch of goods, and directly revitalized his tepid little shop
Under Liu Qing's suggestion, Hongxiu's prices were no different from those of wealthy merchants, and they sold exquisite goods in limited quantities. This brought benefits to the middle and lower classes, who also had the opportunity to buy items that could only be used by the upper classes.
In this way, within a few months, the tepid little shop of the Hongxiu trio has directly become the favorite shop of various female families in the city.
After getting the help of Liu Qing, a noble person, Hongxiu was smart enough to introduce the Jin family to Liu Qinglai.
Mother of the Jin family was very satisfied with Hongxiu’s approach and directly asked Butler Jin to release more goods to Hongxiu, and even gave them out at cost price.
So, when the new year was approaching, when the three Hongxiu people who had some money gathered together to chat, Yingge mentioned Li Sanniang who was far away in Chang'an City.
"We have done something now. Why don't we ask someone to give Sanniangzi some New Year's gifts?
At the beginning, if Sanniangzi hadn't been a kindhearted doctor, what would have happened?"
Yingge's words were naturally recognized by Hongxiu and Luyi. The three of them met and discussed the purchase list of their shop as to what should be given to Li Sanniang as a new year's gift.
While sending New Year's gifts, the three people in Hongxiu naturally wrote a long letter to Li Sanniang, telling Li Sanniang, a girl thousands of miles away, everything about the three of them after they left Chang'an.
Three little girls, Hongxiu, Luyi and Yingge, who were sold by their biological parents when they were young, finally relied on their luck to seize the opportunity and established themselves in this city.
When the three of them went out now, there would be no one who could not open their eyes and say sourly, "That concubine who was let out by the Jin family", and most likely they would call "the shopkeeper".
It rained heavily, but it was a shower. After the rain, the day was still very hot.
I checked the calendar and saw that the beginning of autumn is only on August 8th. Come on, there’s still more than half a month left.
