Chapter 979: Materials Sent From the Imperial Manor
"You're talking nonsense. How could I do such a thing? Why would I frame this company so suddenly? I don't do business every day or two. I know some of these people. In the past, I would go to other places to purchase goods. This is the first time. I went to her house once, and I heard that their products were good, but I didn’t expect that she was a deceitful person!”
The middle-aged woman was furious and couldn't break away from Yu Jie's hand, so she could only stare and shout loudly.
"Then tell me, why didn't you see these stains when the goods were shipped?" Shao Wanru said calmly, as if he didn't see the middle-aged woman's struggling and flushed face.
"They were rolled together when shipped. How could I see it?" the middle-aged woman said loudly.
It is possible for so many goods to be wrapped together. Someone in the crowd nodded: "Yes, if there is a lot of goods, it is basically like this, and it is wholesale. If the store is kind, he will give more materials, and I will pay it back next time." Maybe we can do business together!”
"Business people, that's how it is. It's not just a one-time thing. It's okay to spare some. Since there are many, everyone is a businessman. Being harmonious makes money. There is no need to research everything. Just take a look. Some For a store with a good reputation, it only takes a small amount of money!"
Hearing someone in the crowd speaking for her, the middle-aged woman became more enthusiastic, stretched out her other free hand, pointed at Aunt Dong and said with bulging eyes: "I just thought she looked like an honest businessman. So I didn’t even look at it. I didn’t expect that she would lie to me like this and give me all useless materials. What should I do? I still have to support my family!”
The middle-aged woman, who was a good singer and songwriter, wanted to clap her legs and cry at this moment, but one hand was held by Yujie, and her hand was still strong. Her emotions had not yet brewed, and she was already gritting her teeth in pain and grinning. Where? She was still a little bit emotional and shed tears, so she violently pulled Yujie's hand back.
Yu Jie's hands were working hard, but it couldn't be seen on her face. She just pulled the middle-aged woman calmly. On the contrary, the middle-aged woman was distracted and seemed to be pulling Yu Jie's hand very hard. There was a look of overexertion and acting, which made some people suspicious.
It can't really be fake, right?
"This embroidery doesn't look like it's from this side!" Shao Wanru asked with calm eyes.
"It must be, it's from their family!" The middle-aged woman gritted her teeth: "If you don't believe me, you can compare!"
This is originally the material of Dieyi Zhai, so I am really not afraid of comparison.
"These buckles are also from Dieyi Zhai?" Shao Wanru picked up two more buckles on the ground and looked at the loose thread inside and asked.
"Of course it's from Dieyi Zhai. If you don't believe it, you can go check it out!" the middle-aged woman said loudly. These things are indeed from Dieyi Zhai. So what if we check again.
"Miss Zhang, look at this!" Shao Wanru ignored the middle-aged woman and handed the buckle in his hand to Zhang Qilan. Zhang Qilan took over and frowned slightly.
The stitches that have come off really look bad, but look at the fine stitching before. It’s not like they really cut corners. How could such a fine stitching come off easily?
"This...couldn't this be deliberately exposed?" Luo Xiaowan leaned over to take a look, and suddenly whispered.
"It's possible!" Zhang Qilan also thought of this possibility and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, someone may have deliberately broken the thread. Look at the stitches, they are so tight!"
After hearing what they said, some people picked it up out of curiosity and looked at it.
In the end, they all felt that what they said made sense.
"How could such a delicate stitching lose its stitches so easily!"
"Probably not. The ones I made before were not so fine, and they can be worn for a long time!"
"The pins left here are indeed evidence!"...
Many people agreed.
The middle-aged woman was a little panicked. Just as she was about to speak, Shao Wanru had already picked up a piece of crumpled material. After looking at the material, she turned to Aunt Dong and said, "Aunt Dong, are these materials from your store?"
Aunt Dong had already stood up, walked over, picked up the material and looked at it, shaking her head repeatedly: "This is not the material in our shop, there is no such material in our shop!"
"If the material is not from your shop, who else could it be?" the middle-aged woman said loudly. She felt guilty because of the matter about the buckle. She looked at Shao Wanru with a wary look, "This lady of yours is Where did it come from? How can you understand this kind of thing!"
Shao Wanru and others were all wearing curtains and hats, so they couldn't see clearly, but based on the magnificence around them and the maids surrounding them, they knew that the people in front of them were either rich or noble.
If you can't offend, don't offend.
There are so many dignitaries at the feet of the emperor. Who knows when he will bump into some untouchable family.
The middle-aged woman also lived in Beijing and knew who not to mess with, so she had not said anything bad to Shao Wanru until now.
Shao Wanru ignored the middle-aged woman and still looked at Aunt Dong and said, "How come Aunt Dong remembers clearly that this material is not from your shop?"
"We remember the materials very clearly. Even though the colors are similar, they don't look like this, and they won't wrinkle when exposed to water!" Aunt Dong shook her head.
"I've bought this color in your store before!"
"I bought it too, not long ago!" Two idlers couldn't help but talk!
"Look, some people have bought it, and I dare to say that they haven't. This must be the same batch of goods that came together. The good ones were bought, and the inferior ones were bought for us small merchants. I have pity on my boss. I’m still lying in bed, waiting to take medicine. If something happens to my batch of goods, how can our family survive?”
The middle-aged woman wanted to burst into tears again, but her wrist was painfully painful again, making her eyes shudder in pain, making it impossible for her to cry.
I could only stamp my feet vigorously.
"We had such a pattern before, but it was not the same batch of materials. That batch of materials was actually bought from other places, and the materials were not ours!" Aunt Dong had calmed down by this time.
"Where do you get your materials?" Shao Wanru asked.
"Yes... I got it from Huangzhuang. I bought the goods from them. If you don't believe it, you can check the account directly, but it is definitely not this kind of stuff! If you don't believe it, you can put the goods you bought at that time Bring it over and compare it with hers!"
Materials from the Royal Mansion?
Everyone was speechless for a moment!
The owner of the Imperial Manor is naturally the emperor, but it does not necessarily have to be used by the emperor. You can also select some that the palace does not like and put them in the hands of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for management. However, whether it is directly in the hands of the emperor or the hands of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, this The quality of the batch of goods must be guaranteed, otherwise it will not be a matter of closing the store, but a matter of losing the head.
The accounts of transactions at Huangzhuang are also very clear. It is impossible for there to be any deficiencies.
Good thing, I heard that the Ministry of Internal Affairs is very strict. Even if you want to interfere, it will not be easy. If something really happened at Huangzhuang, it means that several officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will definitely have their heads removed. .
This kind of thing is not just a business matter!
The people watching could not dare to talk nonsense at this time. If they really wanted to investigate the matter, everyone present would be the cause. Maybe no one would be left behind.
It's nice to watch the excitement, but it would be troublesome if you get involved.
"Is this sister-in-law saying that there is something wrong with the materials coming out of this imperial village?" Shao Wanru turned his eyes and looked at the middle-aged woman.
The middle-aged woman was also panicking at this time. She just wanted to get some money and had no intention of risking her own life. She was also from the capital. If this had something to do with the things above Huangzhuang, she would say this was Huangzhuang. If there is something wrong with the things on the bed, you will definitely be thrown into jail later.
"I...I said there was something wrong with the clothes in Dieyi Zhai, I didn't...I didn't say there was something wrong with the clothes in the Imperial Manor..."
"The materials in our shop these days are all from Huangzhuang. You can check it out. Even the officials said so!" Aunt Dong said, secretly wiping a cold sweat. Fortunately, she listened to the princess's words. , the purchasing channel became Huangzhuang, and we tried our best to use materials produced by Huangzhuang.
"You...you can go to other places and get some yourself!" the middle-aged woman stammered.
"Since it's related to Huangzhuang, I can ask people from the Yamen to investigate. If there are any untruths, the Yamen will definitely not let me go!" Aunt Dong said with sincerity, but there was something different between the appearance and appearance. Panic, he came over and reached out to hold the middle-aged woman's hand, "Come on, let's go to the Yamen together, and just say that the goods delivered by Huangzhuang are wrong and pass them off as good!"
Yu Jie lowered her hand quietly and retreated behind Shao Wanru.
"I...I won't go. It's because you are pretending to be a good person..." The middle-aged woman's eyes wandered, and she was panicking now. How dare she go to the Yamen to sue Huangzhuang for pretending to be a good thing? This would cause trouble. Big things are coming.
"If there are any falsehoods in my account books, the Yamen will definitely seal my door. Take these things of yours and use them as evidence to find out what went wrong!" Aunt Dong's attitude at this time was very insistent. He reached out and picked up a plate buckle from the ground, "Let's check the matter of this plate buckle. Who deliberately cut off the thread inside and framed our store? The stitches on it are still very clear!"
If the matter of Huangzhuang was not involved, it would be impossible for the Yamen to accept such a trivial matter. But now that Huangzhuang is involved, the meaning is that it is not something that ordinary people can mess with.
The middle-aged woman just got benefits and came to make a fuss. If this really caused trouble in the yamen, how dare she break free from Aunt Dong's hands, "I... I am a small business, my family There are old people and children to take care of, and they won’t go to the Yamen with you. You...if you prove your innocence, go to the Yamen yourself to investigate this matter!"
After saying that, she didn't care about Aunt Dong anymore. She pushed away the crowd and walked out, not even caring about the materials and plate buttons thrown all over the floor.
The guilty look on her face showed that what she just said was false, and she clearly didn't dare to verify it. In the end, she still pretended to be brave and asked Aunt Dong to verify it herself.
"Sure enough, he came here deliberately to stir up trouble. I don't know which family has put so much effort into dealing with a small shop!" Zhang Qilan curled his lips behind the curtain hat and said disdainfully!
