At noon, the streets along the Qinhuai River are extremely noisy. This is a neighborhood near the dock. There are many shops and goods are busy going up and down. There is a large warehouse behind the small shop where Su's Cloth Co., Ltd. opens, and the door opens from the side for easy access.
, at this time, a whole shipload of goods was being transported from the dock. Goods, porters, and workers were constantly coming in and out, making the whole scene a bit crowded.
Nowadays, the floods in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River have seriously affected various places, and victims are still gathering here. Once the Jiangning city gate is closed, the next situation is likely to last for a month or two. Once the city gate is closed, the business of the cloth dealers in the city will definitely be
It will be damaged, but the goods still need to be adequately prepared. This has happened in the past, but now it is just a step-by-step process.
The outer layer of the warehouse looks like a large drug store. The huge shelves display some cloth boxes and store various dyes. At this time, some samples that need to be carefully stored are still being brought in and placed on the counter for the shopkeeper and those responsible for this aspect.
The clerk looked at it, but at this time, in addition to shopkeeper Liao who was in charge of the store and warehouse, Su Tan'er, the owner, was also looking at the things here at the counter.
The breath of early autumn has just gotten rid of the heat, and the weather is still not necessarily cool. Su Tan'er is dressed in a simple woman's dress today, with a white dress and sky blue skirt and cuffs. It is not necessarily complicated, but it is simple and refreshing, without losing the atmosphere.
While others were busy inside and outside the store, she was also walking around the drug store-like counter. From time to time she would open a newly delivered box to look at and smell it, or open a small drawer of the cabinet inside to see what was originally there.
things, giving one or two instructions from time to time.
"Cinnabar, madder, alum, malan, this is holly...these rat-tailed yolks. After a boatload of goods was unloaded, Myolie had already ordered food. The porters and cloth workers also gathered by the river.
Xing'er started eating in the pavilions. Xing'er took a pot of tea and walked around. As the eldest maid, her position in Su Mansion is no worse than that of Shopkeeper Liao. This is also a symbolic circle. Juan'er
She and Su Tan'er were sitting at a table not far away, holding a booklet and sorting it out. They were going to eat the same food as the others, not much. Lunch was not a fixed format these days, but for the rest of the
For people who do physical work, it is naturally better to eat more meals.
The story that someone stole Su Tan'er's sachet and was beaten like that had already spread among everyone. Juan'er was also asking: "Miss, someone stole your stuff before?"
"Well, I was beaten by Mr. Jing Wu's people." Su Tan'er simply responded, and Juan'er nodded "Oh".
For others, the topic is obviously much more complicated.
Some of the porters didn't know Su Tan'er's identity very well, and there were also new guys in the line. They were whispering among the crowd at this time, and they obviously couldn't understand why such a delicate woman would come here to take care of these things.
A woman of this kind is obviously a layman when it comes to business, but having said that, the food and drink are really well prepared.
These doubts appeared in small pieces, and of course someone would explain them later.
"Our young lady is not simple, what do you know..."
"In the future, I will take care of the entire Su family."
"Can't you see it? Of course you can't see it like this..."
"You may not look at the young lady's delicate appearance, but she is not aggressive either, but when she takes care of things, she is very lively..."
"People's power is hidden in their hearts. If she really gets angry, the young masters of the Su family won't even dare to breathe in front of her..."
"How about it? You can't think of it? After working for a long time, you will know that the young lady is just a lady, but she has many more things on her mind than you..."
Soon after, the second big ship docked, and everyone took action again. Xing'er was responsible for helping to control the overall situation without any problems. She was good at this. Juan'er ran to the ship to count some valuable things first and there were no problems. Su Tan
Sitting at the table in the pergola, I turned my head and looked at the big ship and the situation on the other side of the dock. On the other side, where Jing Wuyi's men gathered, some people looked over here during the chat. They were familiar.
unfamiliar.
"What can this woman do when she comes here..."
"This woman is not a mortal..."
"Damn, she's so beautiful. You said it's such a pity that such a pretty girl is doing business in public..."
"Stop talking nonsense, others can do better business than you."
"can not tell."
"If she can marry me as my wife, damn... tsk... Hey, you said she really doesn't want to marry. A woman has to marry, to raise her husband and raise her children..."
"Are you stupid? Haven't you seen that people dress up as married people? When I came here before, they were always dressed as men, but even if they are dressed up, they still look handsome..."
"Married?"
"That's right, I heard that I've hired someone, he's a scholar."
"Spineless man."
"The Su family is rich. Didn't you just say that I would marry you as my wife? How can you marry such a woman without getting married?"
"But he was a scholar. When he got married, he was pushed aside. I am different..."
"Hey, this woman is really powerful. She is powerful in her heart. She will not lose her temper with you or say anything harsh to you, but you have to listen to her. Even if you are stronger, you still want to dominate others...
"
The pier is extremely busy inside and outside. The shopkeepers and stewards of each shop will be nearby to watch or simply go to help. Among all such people, Su Tan'er, who is only 19 years old, is probably the most unique and eye-catching one. She is young and beautiful.
, he is kind to people, both likeable and confusing. Behind his seemingly ordinary figure, there is also an indescribable sense of sense of propriety and distance. His appearance, family background, and talents can often make many people feel ashamed of themselves.
After all, she couldn't stay out of the public eye for too long. After looking at the pergola by the river for a while, she got up and walked towards Su's shop. Then she seemed to have discovered something, frowned, smiled, and trotted across the street. Although she had
She was plain, but always seemed calm, and now she looked like a girl. When she got to the other side of the street, she met a passerby who was coming by. The man showed a slightly surprised look on his face, and then he started to laugh.
Everyone saw Su Tan'er smiling and saluting, and then chatting on the roadside.
From the attitude and expression of the salute, it seems that it is a woman's gesture towards her husband or lover, because the feeling is intimate and casual.
