The Man Who Raised a husband Through Ancient Times

Chapter 22

　Yuanye doesn’t know that someone is already thinking about him. Even if he knows, he probably won’t care. -Lanzhou

　City is very large. If the south of the city is where middle- and lower-class residents live, the east of the city is a veritable wealthy area. Not only that the streets were twice as wide, but there were also city guards standing guard at the intersections. Ragged beggars and dirty swill carts were not allowed in.

　Su Ji's shop in the east of the city is very large. A large plaque with red background and gold paint hangs high in the middle of the shop. The eight hollow-carved nanmu doors are wide open, which is very grand. The shop is filled with shelves with mountains of fabrics, Hangzhou silk from Jiangnan, cotton from Songjiang, brocade from Xuzhou, any cloth that can be named can be found here.

　"This kind of colorful cotton cloth is so beautiful!"

　"Yeah, but it's really expensive. A piece of cotton cloth costs five taels of silver!"

　"Hey, what's here? Look over there. That Hangzhou silk, solid color The one with prints is 25 taels, and the one with full prints is 35 taels!"

　"Wow!" A group of people choked, and their voices suddenly became much quieter.

　"Is the one who is choosing fabrics the rightful gentleman of Mr. Lu? The tall one next to him seems to be a brother of the Wu family? I heard that he is going to enter the palace draft." A sharp-eyed person asked the people around him in a low voice.

　"Yes, it's them."

　"They all buy this kind, and I want to buy one too. Hangzhou silk is too expensive, so just buy cotton cloth."

　"Hey, don't grab it. There are only a few pieces in total."

　"Isn't that Gebu's?"

　"It's sold out a long time ago!"

　Su Antai is upstairs. He discussed the price with his shopkeeper yesterday and put the cloth on the table this morning. Looking at the frenzied looting downstairs, he felt that he had set the price too low. It had already increased five to ten times!

　As soon as Yuanye got off the carriage, Su Ji's shopkeeper came up to greet him.

　"Hello, former boss, our boss is waiting for you upstairs. Can I ask the clerk to help you take the carriage to the backyard?" the shopkeeper said politely.

　At this moment, Shaharul and the others also got off the carriage. Seeing these people from the Western Regions, the shopkeeper had a strange look on his face. Su Ji also has a dyeing workshop. A few days ago, Su Antai asked him to buy some Saharu dye and dye it. As a result, the dye could not be dyed at all. The color was too heavy and uneven, and it also faded. It was not as good as their original color. The dye is easy to use, but several old masters shook their heads and said they couldn't dye it. Fortunately they didn’t buy much!

　Yuanye didn't know what the shopkeeper was thinking, so he just let him lead the way.

　Unexpectedly, I saw an acquaintance downstairs, Li Ji's shopkeeper in Lanzhou City. Yuanye smiled and said hello, "Hello shopkeeper, have you handed over the letter I brought?"

　The shopkeeper quickly pointed to a short, fat man in his forties next to him and said, "Original boss, this is I'm Li Ji's boss."

　Li Fugui felt regretful when he saw Su Ji's boss personally greeting Yuanye to go upstairs. He had received Yuan Ye's letter a long time ago, because Su Ji's big boss Su Antai came to Lanzhou City, and he wanted to take the opportunity to get acquainted, so he postponed meeting Yuan Ye. Who is Su Antai? Those are imperial merchants, they need money and background. If he had known that Yuanye knew Boss Su, how could he have neglected him?
