After crossing the Academy Street and entering the teahouse, Wan Qing stood behind the stone roll with her hands down in a polite manner, and Li Xiaonan looked at Gu Yan.
Gu Yan only wore a jade hairpin on her head, a green brocade quilted water-patterned gown, and a jade belt, looking very energetic.
It seems like a year has passed and he is younger and more energetic!
Facing Li Xiaonan's inspection, Gu Yan stretched out his folding fan. Before he met Li Xiaonan, he immediately turned back, turned it a few times between his fingers, and snorted, "What are you looking at?"
"Looking at you wearing so little, aren't you cold?" Li Xiaonan walked around Gu Yan and went to the table where teacups and snacks were already placed.
"You have changed out of your big cotton-padded jackets. Of course it's not cold. It seems that your preserved egg shop has made a lot of money, so you are wearing fine cloth." Gu Yan followed behind Li Xiaonan, turning the folding fan.
"These are clothes for the Chinese New Year. My preserved egg shop has made a lot of money. Sister-in-law Yin said that it is all thanks to you." Li Xiaonan sat down and looked at Gu Yan, "Everyone in Pingjiang City knows that your family has never been here.
We buy preserved eggs and salted eggs at the preserved egg shop."
"Are you going to thank me?" Gu Yan raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"Yes." Li Xiaonan looked solemn.
Gu Yan was unexpectedly stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "You're welcome, it's all a matter of hands."
"I am very proficient in Gezhi, but people like you are among the top ten noble and powerful people in the world. If you want to find people who are proficient in Gezhi, you will definitely find a bunch of people who are better than me.
"You said you wanted me to give you lessons, but you never listened carefully. You didn't do it to learn from me.
"You asked me to teach Mr. Qian." Li Xiaonan paused for a moment and glanced sideways at Gu Yan, "I don't think you want me to teach you anything at all, just reuse waste."
Gu Yan choked on Li Xiaonan's words about using waste. He stretched out his folding fan in front of Li Xiaonan and kept banging it on the table.
Li Xiaonan didn't look at the folding fan, but stared at Gu Yan, getting ahead of him and continuing: "You asked me to take classes and teach Mr. Qian, just to find an excuse to give me money. What's the purpose of being so nice to me?
, can you explain it clearly?"
Gu Yan waved his hand.
Shi Gun hurriedly signaled everyone to retreat.
"You said one, two, and three so clearly, then you can continue with one, two, and three, and tell me what are the things about you that are worthy of my plot?" Gu Yan slapped the folding fan on the table.
"If not, then why are you so nice to me? Because you said we are destined? Because you know that my brother always secretly gives me eggs to eat?" Li Xiaonan put her arms on the table, her expression serious.
Gu Yan imitated Li Xiaonan and put his arms on the table, stretched his head forward, looked at Li Xiaonan, and nodded seriously, "Yes."
"Then how long do you plan to take care of me? How many months? How many years? Or, until I have a good life and don't have to worry about anything? Then what kind of life do you think I can live a good life?
Already?" Li Xiaonan asked next.
"In this twelfth and first lunar month, are you thinking about this thing without doing anything?" Gu Yan looked at Li Xiaonan speechlessly.
"Well, almost." Li Xiaonan nodded.
"I told you once, do you want me to say it again?" Gu Yan wanted to sigh.
Li Xiaonan frowned, thought about it carefully, and said hesitantly: "I haven't mentioned it before? Why don't I remember it?"
Gu Yan took a slow breath, suppressed the urge to slap Li Xiaonan on the head, stretched out his finger in front of Li Xiaonan, lit her, and slapped her on the table, "You are like this, stupid and stupid, but you are so brave
It’s quite big, how long do you think we need to take care of it?”
Li Xiaonan held her chin with one hand and looked at Gu Yan. After a moment, she sighed, "I know you know what my brother meant when he gave me the eggs to eat. You asked me where I got the inspiration for writing poetry."
Go, you know more than me, right? Is it because of this? Is there anyone else?"
"No, it's just you and me." Gu Yan was silent for a moment and said in a low voice.
"Yeah." Li Xiaonan held her chin with both hands, looked at Gu Yan, and sighed leisurely, "No wonder I wasn't afraid of you at all when I saw you for the first time, so I thought you could be trusted."
"Which time is the first time? Hangzhou Gongyuan? Or when you stare at the crab shell yellow?" Gu Yan smiled.
"When you bumped into us! Not counting Gongyuan, I didn't see you at all."
"Oh~" Gu Yan trailed off, "Didn't you call me a fool that time?"
"I am just a fool, but I am not as good as a gangster!"
"Wu Nong's soft words are really nice, you should just speak in Mandarin."
"Our preserved egg shop is quite profitable. From now on, you don't have to give me money in other ways. If you want me to teach Mr. Qian, I will teach him as much as he can learn. It doesn't cost any money. It's a thank you for helping us."
Business is over." Li Xiaonan switched back to Mandarin.
"His surname is not Qian, his surname is Niu. He lives in front of the ox cart. You have to give him Shu Xiu. If I ask you for anything, I won't give you any money." Gu Yan said with a smile.
"Okay!" Li Xiaonan quickly agreed.
Give Mr. Qian—a lot of money for taking lessons in front of the bullock cart!
Gu Yan glanced at Li Xiaonan, who had a bright smile after saying hello, and snorted vaguely.
This little girl is really greedy for money!
"Have you found a business to make a fortune?" Gu Yan knocked on the table and asked.
"My brother has settled on Mr. Gao's daughter Zhi, do you know?" Li Xiaonan looked at Gu Yan.
"Yes." Gu Yan opened the folding fan and waited calmly for Li Xiaonan to continue.
"During the Chinese New Year, I followed my eldest sister to Mr. Gao's house to pay New Year greetings. I saw that Sister Zhi had bought a new six-heddle loom. Do you know what a heddle is?"
Gu Yan glanced sideways at Li Xiaonan and snorted. He was too lazy to pay attention to her stupid question.
"The jacquard cloth woven by the six-heddle loom is thin, soft, and very beautiful. A few days ago, I went to the cloth shop with my third sister. There was a sister in the cloth shop who was weaving cloth with an eight-heddle loom. She was very beautiful.
My sister’s knitting should be softer and more beautiful.
"Sister Zhi and the sister from the cloth shop both said that they weave their own jacquard cloth because ready-made jacquard cloth is too expensive.
"In the cloth shops in Kunshan County, there are coarse and fine cloths, but no jacquard cloths. In the cloth shops in Pingjiang City, more than half are silks, woolen materials, and jacquard cloths, but there are no coarse and fine cloths woven by rural people." p>
"What kind of business do you want to do? Jacquard cloth?" Gu Yan asked.
"We haven't reached the stage of starting a business yet, but I just find it strange. Why is jacquard cloth so expensive? Sister Zhi said that if you buy yarn and weave it yourself, it will only cost 40% of the selling price." Li Xiaonan frowned and looked at Gu Yan. According to the laws of economics, unless there is a monopoly, such a large profit margin would have been squeezed in by merchants who would have reduced profits to normal levels.
Gu Yan frowned, for a moment, shook his head and said, "I haven't noticed this. I'll let people inquire about it."
"No need!" Li Xiaonan waved her hands hurriedly, "I'm just telling you, I'll find the reason myself."
When Gu Yan heard "I'm just telling you," the corners of his mouth turned up and his smile grew thicker. He thought about it and said with a smile: "Shall I take you to the weaving workshop?"
"Okay!" Li Xiaonan's eyes lit up and she nodded hurriedly.
