Chapter 686 Shen Zheng guesses the identity of the mysterious old lady
Under Shen Zheng's puzzled gaze, Huang Jin first bowed politely.
then……
Like a thief...looking around?
Her behavior was so strange that Shen Zheng couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?"
Huang Jin's body trembled almost imperceptibly, and then she turned her head and panted slightly, "This servant... This servant greets Master Shen. This servant is here on the orders of the master."
"Master's house?"
It’s very easy to identify who her “master” is.
Shen Zheng saw at a glance that there were three other people not far away who were wearing the same veil hat as her.
And the man beside the three men who had not covered his face...
Shen Zheng also had an impression.
They were the strangers that Xiao Yuan brought in the rain that day, and the man was the warrior.
That day, Mo Qingwan even guessed that the old lady was a member of an official's family.
But why did they wear veils today? Was it because there were too many people?
A trace of doubt flashed across Shen Zheng's face, and curiosity drove her to ask, "Is there something wrong?"
"Have!"
Huang Jin had just said one word when the rest of her words were blocked in her throat by several merchants who came over after hearing the noise.
"You little girl, you didn't even take off your veil when you saw Lord Shen? What's so shameful about that?"
"Yes, you just said that you came here on the orders of your master. I don't understand what kind of status your master has. Why did he only send a little maid like you to look for Lord Shen?"
The merchants' approach was particularly strange, which made Shen Zheng slightly stunned.
Let's not talk about the veil for now. The little girl came politely, regardless of whether she came to deliver a message or to invite someone.
After all, we have to wait until the person finishes speaking before we know, right?
In other words, even if the person who came today was not a "maid suspected to be an official's family member" but some other maid, Shen Zheng would still not show any displeasure.
Shen Zheng frowned slightly and motioned Huang Jin to continue.
Huang Jin bowed to her, her voice still crisp: "Please forgive me, Master Shen! It's not that I and my master don't want to show our true faces, but the cold hasn't subsided yet, so it's really inconvenient to show up."
Shen Zheng couldn't see the expression under the veil, but from the voice she could tell that the little girl was not scared by these merchants.
Shen Zheng nodded and said to the merchants whose faces all showed "I don't want to leave": "Please keep busy."
The obvious order to expel them made everyone feel dejected.
"Then... we will not disturb Master Shen anymore."
After the people left, Shen Zheng turned around and glanced at the cloth shop, then asked directly: "Can you tell me now? I am indeed a little busy today."
"Then I'll make it short!" Huang Jin bowed again, "Sir Shen, my old lady wants to try some cotton clothes, so she sent me to ask you how to buy them."
Shen Zheng was slightly stunned when she heard this: "Just... this?"
It’s not that she looks down on people, but this matter...there’s really no need to ask her for help.
She said patiently, "Little girl, Tongan Cloth Shop will gradually expand outward with Tongan County as its center. If you want to buy cotton cloth, you can go to the cloth shop when the time comes."
After Shen Zheng finished speaking, she nodded slightly and turned to leave. Huang Jin was a little anxious and jogged to catch up with her.
"Sir Shen, my master lives far away. I just happened to come to Tong'an County this time, so I was thinking if I could buy some clothes first and try them on. If they look good, I can buy a lot of them when my master gets home. There are so many people in my master's family, so they will buy a lot!"
A lot, a lot, a lot?
The little girl said "a lot" several times and successfully stopped Shen Zheng.
The first big customer... just came like this?
She asked, "Where is your master's home?"
Huang Jin subconsciously looked to a place not far away, and after a pause she replied, "My servant's master is in Shangjing."
"Going to Beijing?"
Or the families of officials who came to Beijing?
Shen Zheng began to ponder in her mind.
Shangjing is actually quite a distance away from Tongan County, but Shangjing has a large population, convenient transportation, and is the economic center of the entire Da Zhou, so the cloth shops in Shangjing must be among the first to open.
But she thought again... In fact, as long as Tong'an Cloth Shop was open, there would be no shortage of customers.
As for official clients?
With the emperor's support, there is nothing lacking.
I guess by now, all the officials in the capital know that the cloth shop will pay dividends to the emperor?
Therefore, the girl's family must be the family of a Beijing official. After receiving the news, they rushed to Tongan County first.
This makes sense as to why the other party would send a little maidservant here - they are the family members of Beijing officials, so they still have some status!
Knew it……
Shen Zheng gave a thumbs up in her heart to the emperor who was far away in Shangjing.
This is the influence and purchasing power brought by the supreme imperial power, which is more powerful than hiring thousands of celebrities to endorse products!
"Then let's do this." Shen Zheng pondered for a moment and asked, "You are staying at the Guanding Inn, right?"
She thought that since this family was the first batch of "secondary agents" of Tong'an Cloth Shop in Beijing, it would not be impossible for the shop to allocate some cloth to them.
In this way, the other party bought the cotton cloth they had been longing for, and the cloth shop found people from Beijing to promote its product for free, which could be considered a mutually beneficial situation.
Huang Jin nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, "Yes, Lord Shen, my master will stay in Tongan County for a while."
Her eyes sparkled beneath the veil.
Lord Shen, does this mean you agree to sell her the cotton cloth?
She, Huang Jin! She is indeed not an ordinary maid! I wonder if Lu Luo will dare to laugh at me when I go back later!
Shen Zheng looked at the figures not far away and made the decision: "Then you can stay here peacefully. I will order someone to send a few pieces of the first batch of cotton cloth to the inn. You can't choose the patterns yet, but you can choose more patterns later."
"well!"
Huang Jin finally got Shen Zheng to agree, but she didn't care about the color of the flower.
That’s right!
She was so excited that she couldn't help jumping up and down, then turned around and waved to her companions.
The other party seemed to have seen it, and one of them waved in response.
Looking at the other person's figure, Shen Zheng guessed that it was the little girl with a green hairband and a bun that she had met that day.
Just as she was about to look away, a gust of wind whistled past from nowhere, blowing the veils of the people opposite her everywhere, and several unfamiliar faces were looming under the white veil.
Subconsciously, Shen Zheng shifted her gaze slightly and looked at the figure in the middle.
It was quite far away, so she could only see the general outline.
His white hair was tied into a bun, his bones were distinct, and he looked majestic and kind.
Like a good old lady, Shen Zheng thought.
If I’m not good at it, I probably won’t be able to teach this lively and sensible little maid.
Shen Zheng's lips curled slightly and she nodded slightly at the other party.
The other party seemed not to expect that she would take the initiative to say hello. After a moment, Shen Zheng seemed to see a smile on the other party's face.
"Go back quickly." Shen Zheng said to Huang Jin, "I have to go and supervise your cotton cloth."
"Hey!" The little girl bowed again, "Master Shen has worked hard, I will not disturb you anymore, I will take my leave!"
……
"This girl is good."
"Madam, are you talking about Huang Jin? You can't praise her. She can't stand being praised. If she knew that you praised her in person, I'm afraid her tail would be lifted up to the sky!"
"Huang Jin is not bad either."
