Chapter 74 Sister, you and brother-in-law are good people.
"Since I chose you, I have confidence in your fabric. I plan to cooperate with you in the long run. If you can trust my vision, then listen to my suggestions on the pattern and color."
"The fabric you are wearing is from our Xiao family. The pattern and color are also the first ones I have produced. Naturally, I can trust your vision. Otherwise, I just don't like my own craftsmanship. When I heard you talk about long-term cooperation, I felt confident.
Now, you can trust me, and you can tell me what I am like by seeing how I treat you in the future."
"You can tell a person by looking at the cloth. A treacherous and frivolous person cannot make a cloth as good as you." Luo Changan nodded, "Young Master Xiao, this is my first time choosing cloth, so I need your support. The colors of the palace masters like me.
Of course it’s familiar.”
"If you are familiar with the preferences of each palace and are willing to tell me and teach me how to get this big deal, that would be great!"
"Exactly. You cooperate with me and make all the designs and colors I need. I want the best quality and the price is 20% lower than the Bai family's price. If you do well, I will be recognized in the palace.
, I will help you get the opportunity to purchase the palace New Year clothes in the coming spring."
Xiao Yu was greatly encouraged when he heard this, "You are helping the Xiao family like this. I will naturally support your first choice of cloth and will definitely teach you to complete the task. The price is easy to say, don't say it is less than 20% of the Bai family's price, even if it is free.
You can try it out."
Luo Changan smiled and nodded, "Although the palace masters are frugal, they will not teach you to do loss-making business."
I heard Xiao Yu continue to say: "Moreover, I have observed that over the past year or so, the Bai family's cloth patterns and colors have not been updated, and the quality is not as careful as before, but the price has been much higher, which is different from the previous Bai family's operation.
The concepts are very different. I think the Bai family is corrupt and has been obsessed with profit. Even if it is 20% lower, I will not lose money."
Luo Changan felt a little disappointed. It was not that the Bai family was corrupt, but that the current Bai family was no longer the Bai family of the past. With the change of character, the concept naturally collapsed. It was just that they controlled the cloth that entered the palace and deceived the people above.
Just eyes.
"That's great. How long will it take to ship it to me?"
Xiao Yu said very cheerfully: "In about ten days, I will personally deliver the cloth outside the palace gate. You can pick it up at the palace gate as soon as you arrive in the morning."
Luo Changan said cheerfully: "Very good, this is the list of colors I need. Let's do it according to this."
Xiao Yu took the list and Luo Changan was about to say goodbye when he faintly heard the sound of crying outside the cloth store.
"Mother, mother, I want to find mother."
Listening to the cry, it was a little boy with a milky voice.
Luo Changan and Xiao Yu quickly came to the door and saw a little clay child sitting on the steps outside the door, wiping tears. He was more than three years old, his clothes were shabby and ragged, and he was out of breath from crying.
It's so pitiful.
Luo Changan felt relieved, took off his coat, wrapped it around the boy, tied the belt, and asked, "Why are you here alone."
Xiao Yu's eyes softened when he looked at Luo Changan. Miss Luo was really a kind-hearted girl, and her eyes were full of worries, which aroused his curiosity and wanted to know her story in depth.
The little boy even swallowed: "My mother brought me to the city to beg for food. Just now, a warehouse was opened there to release grain, and many people were snatching food. My mother and I got separated."
Luo Changan immediately thought that Di Qianao had mentioned the refugee influx into the city that morning, and thought that this child was probably one of the refugees. He was separated from his mother at a young age. He must be extremely scared and sad.
Xiao Yu remembered something: "There is a refugee shelter in the suburbs near the Xiao family. Today, Long En is so powerful that he ordered the warehouses to be opened to release grain. This child is afraid that he will be dispersed by the crowds."
Luo Changan nodded, picked up the child, and said, "It's so pitiful. Big sister, please take you to find your mother."
Xiao Yu reached out and took the child from Luo Changan's arms, "Take my carriage over there."
Luo Changan's heart moved, and he saw Xiao Yu hugging the child enthusiastically, not disliking the child's dirty face at all, and nodded and said: "Thank you."
Xiao Yu smiled and said: "Thank you, I am a great man, I can't pretend to be a grandson in front of a girl like you."
Luo Changan was amused by him again. He felt that he was very relaxed when he was with Xiao Yu. He didn't have to be cautious everywhere. He was also a very open and forthright person.
Luo Changan and the little boy got into the carriage. The child stopped crying and said, "Sister, you and your brother-in-law are both good people."
Xiao Yu turned around and took a deep look at the little thing, but said nothing.
Luo Changan's face heated up, "That man is the elder brother, not the brother-in-law."
The little boy nodded in understanding.
Xiao Yu stopped halfway and went to the roadside to buy something. When he came back, he handed a piece of snack to the child, and also handed a piece to Luo Changan. Luo Changan didn't want it, so he gave both to the child.
Xiao Yu said in a deep voice: "Little brother, we are all real men. We don't stick to trivial matters. We call you brother or brother-in-law, as you like."
Luo Changan was startled and glanced at Xiao Yu with some embarrassment, who smiled at her as warmly as the spring sun.
When I arrived at the refugee resettlement center, I looked at so many people at a glance. It was very difficult to help the little boy find his mother among the thousands of people.
Xiao Yu said: "Leave him to the officer in military uniform. It will be much easier for the officer to post a notice to find his parents than for us to go looking for him rashly."
Luo Changan also agreed, so he took the little boy's dirty little hand out of the carriage. The little boy was full after eating snacks. At this time, he didn't cry or make trouble. He and Luo Changan were also familiar with each other. He told Luo Changan that his name was
Xiaohu’s dream is to serve as a soldier to protect his family and country.
"Xiaohu, my sister will hand you over to your uncle soldiers soon. They are sent by the emperor to protect you. They will help you find your mother."
Xiaohu said nervously with a small face: "Then will I be able to see Sister Chang'an again in the future?"
Luo Changan smiled and helped Xiaohu wipe his dirty little face clean, "Yes, sister can come out to see you every once in a while when she has a chance."
Most likely we won't have a chance to see each other again. How many people in this world are just passing by fate, but Xiaohu is so young, and Luo Changan doesn't want to let him down. It's always good to have hope.
Xiaohu nodded, "Okay. Xiaohu will be very brave and will obey the soldier uncle's words."
Luo Changan touched Xiaohu's head, and then took Xiaohu's left hand, while Xiao Yu took Xiaohu's right hand, and the three of them walked towards the officers and soldiers' stronghold at the garrison.
The stronghold is a temporary and simple shed that can be sheltered from wind and rain. There is a voice inside, and the person is saying seriously: "The personal safety of the refugees must be guaranteed. Once the temporary accommodation is arranged, the volunteer doctors are also in place, right?"
In the noise, Luo Changan felt that this voice of concern for the country and the people was very familiar. It was like a superior person with compassion for the common people, and his heart tightened, and his mind was suddenly penetrated.
