Damn it! Tang Shiyue felt very embarrassed! And then she was a little annoyed!
If it wasn't for the Meng family behind him, she really wouldn't like to do business with someone who does this. Isn't it annoying to have to do this all the time?
She couldn't help but snort.
Since Princess Meng likes to act so much, I'm going to teach you a lesson.
So the two of them went to meet Cao Rongbin.
Cao Ji has a small appetite and cannot handle much work, so the two sides quickly decided to cooperate only on Sibaoban. The current ordinary Sibaoban and the future cashmere Sibaoban are all included. He will first send a few people over to learn the weaving method.
Moreover, Cao Rongbin was a clear-headed person. Their approach had always been a bit lofty, in order to become famous among scholars, so they did not argue much about the share of the profits. The key was to get the signature. The two sides hit it off immediately and even had dinner together in the evening.
Cao Rongbin also introduced them to a friend, Wang Guisheng, the owner of "Guan Sheng Fang".
Guanshengfang, as the name suggests, specializes in selling hats. Since these two people have been good friends for many years, they must have similar personalities. They both value quality and reputation and cherish their reputation. Moreover, they both come from scholarly backgrounds and get along particularly well with Xia Yuhui.
So as soon as the two sides came into contact, Tang Shiyue signed the Fubao hat and the Zhanhong hat to Guanshengfang. As for the Jinhua hat, she was not satisfied with it and wanted to improve it, so she did not sign it for the time being, but she also promised that she would choose Guanshengfang first when the time comes.
...
...
So after Young Master Meng hadn't shown up for two days, he discovered that everything had changed and two cooked ducks had flown away.
As soon as he received the news, Meng Yiqiu felt as if he was struck by lightning.
He never expected such a result!
As he rushed to Jubao Village, he regretted it in his heart. If he had known that this young lady had a bad temper, he should have played more slowly. But he had played with her once before, and she was obviously very concerned. She couldn't sleep at night, and her face was full of sadness in the morning.
Why did she get so angry this time when it wasn't too cold and just left out for a while?
So should he get warmer now, or should he get colder, leading her to beg him?
Before entering the house, he was still a little undecided, but once he entered the house and saw Tang Shiyue's cold expression, he felt a little nervous and smiled subconsciously: "Ayue."
Tang Shiyue glanced at him and continued to study the dozen or so hats sent by Guanshengfang. These were the best-selling ones at the moment. He would learn a thing or two from them and then improve Yuefang's woolen hats.
Seeing that she ignored him, Meng Yiqiu felt even more uneasy. He came closer and said, "Ayue, I heard that you signed a contract with Fu Ji and Guan Sheng Fang?" He lowered his eyes and said, "Didn't we agree that all of this would be done by Meng? You clearly promised me, why did you go back on your word?"
He originally just wanted to act aggrieved, but as he spoke, he actually felt a little aggrieved.
A handsome and elegant young man in the capital had always dreamed of Meng Erlang. He had never cared so much about anyone in his life. He was so humble and begged her, but she actually tricked him without any hesitation.
Tang Shiyue said calmly: "I never agreed. If I could agree, our two families wouldn't have to argue for so long."
She tapped the table with her finger and said, "Now, you either sign this contract or you don't want to sign it. Then forget it. You can leave now. You can take the Meng family's people with you. The skills you learned will be my gift to you."
When Meng Yiqiu heard this, his expression froze.
He flew to sit down at the table on the kang and picked up the paper on the table.
Sure enough, there were two contracts. Just as Tang Shiyue had said before, they would only cooperate on embroidered clothes and sweaters, and even the cashmere sweaters mentioned before were no longer included. The conditions were not only not relaxed, but became more stringent.
Meng Yiqiu's brows were knotted: "Ayue, why is this happening?"
Tang Shiyue said: "My brother is about to take the imperial examination, I don't want to argue with you. This is the first reason. I just want to do business well, and don't want to play tricks with the young master, this is the second reason."
She looked at him quietly.
Her eyes were clearly black and white, and the look in her eyes at that moment made him feel like a clown, as if everything he thought and did was visible in her eyes.
Meng Yiqiu never thought that she could see through this at a glance. He was so ashamed and angry that he said, "You...you did it on purpose!"
Tang Shiyue said without even raising her head: "I took the business 'intentionally'? I have a problem with money?"
Meng Yiqiu was speechless.
He wanted to speak several times, but didn't know what to say.
They are just about to break up and make things clear, there is really nothing else to say.
Meng Yiqiu's face was red as if blood was about to drip out. He was silent for a long time before he slowly picked up the pen and signed the deed. He whispered, "I will ask Uncle Bai to stay. If you have any problems, just go to him."
He stood up and left.
That night, Young Master Meng left Longmen Town overnight, leaving only Uncle Bai, the steward, to contact them.
To be honest, Tang Shiyue felt a little guilty for making such a beautiful woman angry like this.
But soon, she focused all her attention on her brother's imperial examination.
The Dayan County Examination is held in February every year. There are usually five examinations. The main one is the first one, called the "main examination", the second one is called the "recruitment examination", the third one is called the "re-examination examination", and the fourth and fifth ones are called the "continuous examination".
Those who pass the test are called Tongsheng.
The subjects tested were essays from the Four Books, test poems, essays from the Five Classics, poems, essays, strategies, essays, theories of nature, principles, etc. Each exam lasted one day, with roll call before dawn and papers had to be handed in on the same day. No lights or candles were provided.
A day in advance, Tang Shiyue and his group had already checked into the inn. Manager Shen asked the kitchen to clear out a stove so that Tang Shiyue could cook for them herself, and the cook could also help.
Xu Wenqu and his three disciples lived in the upper rooms on the east side, and Tang Shiyue and Qing Weiliao also lived together.
Madam Zhou was about to give birth so she didn't come, only Fourth Uncle Tang came. Chen Changqing's math exam was after these exams, but he came early and occupied a room, just filling up all eight rooms.
The upper and lower floors were all filled with students, who gathered together to talk and chat. Xu Wenqu ignored them, but Tang Shirong and Huo Qiyang were usually able to calm down and did not like such occasions at all. Even Tang Junchen, who was usually lively, calmed down and studied hard behind closed doors.
It was just a small county examination, but there were always people coming to the door of the inn all day long. Each room was packed with people, with four or five people staying in one room. Only this side had informed in advance, but no one was allowed in.
Tang Shiyue was wearing a men's shirt, had her face painted black, and was dressed very low-key.
She went to the stove and watched the chef cook and bring the meal up. When she passed by the back door of the restaurant, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure. Tang Shiyue turned her head and it was Tang Shijin. Their eyes met and Tang Shijin quickly looked away as if he had been scalded.
Tang Shiyue didn't care and went to the back with the meal.
Everyone gathered in Xu Wenqu's room. Tang Shirong ate in silence. When he looked up, he saw Tang Shiyue's blackened little face, and suddenly his nose felt sore for some reason.
His younger sister ran around and arranged everything properly, so he just had to concentrate on studying. If he still couldn't pass the exam, he might as well just kill himself.
Tang Shiyue looked at his eyes and said anxiously, "Brother, don't be nervous, really don't be nervous!"
Her eyes clearly said, "Are you crying out of fear?"
Tang Shirong was both angry and amused: "I know, I'm really not nervous."
Xu Wenqu smiled and said, "Alright, there's nothing to be nervous about! I, Xu Wenqu's disciple, won't be stopped by a mere county exam!"
