In the afternoon, the cicadas made a loud noise, the guests gathered in the brocade shop, and a few maids were busy stealing, quietly exchanging today's recent gossip when making tea.

"I heard that the two beauties of the Ejiang prince Xinna are actually a mother and daughter!"

"Really?"

"I don't know! ”

Suddenly, a voice that was not very harmonious sounded, "You mean why Xiao Yan is gone and never returned?"

"His sister is still here, she should have gone out to run errands, right?" The maid who replied looked at the maid who asked the question sympathetically, everyone had a good impression of Xiao Yan, but the girl who asked was the only one who fell in.

"If you want to know anything about him, why don't you go to his sister?" asked a maid who had just come in to make tea.

The maid's face was pale and she sneered, while the others despised the latter, "If she is strict in managing things, she won't need to mess with us." ”

The maid who wanted to make tea smiled disapprovingly, and the others changed the topic, "It's the young lady of that family that you went to greet just now, and she is so stylish." ”

"That's not the young lady, she's the eldest lady. ”

"The surname Tie?" The other maids were stunned, thinking in their hearts, which family in this court is surnamed Tie?

Seeing that everyone was confused, the maid who came to make tea didn't sell Guanzi, "It's the niece of General Tie's family." ”

"Ahh

"I heard that her mother is a young talent in the court, so choose a fast son-in-law for her!" As soon as these words came out, all the women covered their mouths and laughed.

This Miss Tie's mother doesn't want to think about it, her family is an official in the court, it is her uncle, not her father-in-law, and her uncle is not particularly outstanding among the military generals in the court, or is reused, if his daughter wants to recruit a son-in-law, people still have to weigh whether it is worth it!

"I heard that the girl of the Iron General's family is not very close to her. ”

"Really?"

The shopkeeper of Jinyifang also talked to Miss Lu about this.

In the shopkeeper's office, Miss Lu and the shopkeeper sat at the table in front of the window talking, while Li Qianqian sat at the square table in the middle of the room, flipping through the recent jewelry design drawings.

“...... Miss Tie has selected more than 20 pieces of clothing in our workshop, all of which are high-quality products, but she wants to hang the account of General Tie's Mansion, you say, this is ......"

The clothes that can be called high-quality clothes, the asking price is thousands of taels, and more than 20,000 taels of high-quality products, the Iron General's Mansion has always been economical, and the lady of the Iron General's Mansion only picked out a dress in the workshop last month, saying that it was to be worn by the ceremony, and the asking price was more than 700 taels, Miss Tie hesitated for a long time, or the general's wife took out a private house to buy it for her daughter.

Now the niece in the next room spends so much money on the decoration in one go, can General Tie allow it? The general's wife can tolerate it? It won't end up being a bad debt, right?

No wonder the shopkeeper has come to ask Miss Lu for advice.

"Is this Iron Lady here by herself, or is she accompanied by someone from the Iron General's Mansion?"

"On my own. The shopkeeper sighed, "If someone from the General's Mansion comes with me, I don't have to worry." ”

Miss Lu smiled, "Send someone to the General's Mansion to give gifts, just ask." ”

The shopkeeper's response went, Miss Lu stroked her forehead and walked to the square table and sat down, Fang said to Li Qianqian, "Recently, there have been a lot of fake officials in Beijing, I don't know what's going on?"

"Is it in our shop, or have all the stores encountered it?"

"It's not just us, the splendid shop at the end of the street has suffered a big loss. Miss Lu told Li Qianqian about this.

Jinxiufang can be regarded as a time-honored brand in Beijing, but because it is a time-honored brand, from the shopkeeper to the guys, they are a little arrogant, which is actually not surprising, many time-honored merchants in Beijing have this problem, plus the owners behind them, their status in the court is getting higher and higher, they will inevitably be proud of themselves.

It's just that after the establishment of Jinyifang, because of the novel style, elegant and spacious storefront, coupled with some small means of operation, the women in Beijing flocked to it, and the business of Jinxiufang was not immune to blows.

The number of customers in the past is decreasing, and Fairview Workshop will inevitably open up new customers.

The women who pretended to be officials came to the door under such circumstances, perhaps they were full of style, and the shopkeeper of the splendid workshop was eager to open up a new source, and for a while he couldn't care about careful verification, and as a result, the other party got nearly 50 sets of new clothes in the season, plus matching jewelry accessories, etc., it is reported that the loss was no less than 100,000 taels.

"Didn't they report it?"

"No, who would dare!" Miss Lu shook her head and poured herself a cup of tea, "If you report to the official, wouldn't you admit to everyone that your vision is not good, and you will be deceived!"

The most important thing is that she also helped the other party and cheated a lot of jewelry in the owner's silver building! Although she was deceived without knowing it, the owner wants to hold her accountable, and her responsibility is not light.

Li Qianqian put down the design brochure, "They don't sue the official, are they planning to track it down themselves?"

"It should be!" Miss Lu put down the tea bowl, "The owner behind the Splendid Workshop is the eldest princess. ”

As long as she releases the news, more people are willing to help her track it down, "However, so far, I haven't found anything." ”

Otherwise, there should be news coming out.

Li Qianqian did not stay in Jinyifang for long, and when he left Jinyifang with jewelry design drawings and Miss Lu, he also happened to meet the two flowers in Hexing Town.

However, Li Qianqian appeared today as he was, they couldn't recognize Li Qianqian, but they recognized Miss Lu and knew that she was the owner, and when they passed by, they also showed a kind and flattering smile to Miss Lu, Miss Lu is very good at doing business, and in a few words, she coaxed the two prospective brides to smile, although they didn't give much discount, but it was enough for the two of them to be happy.

After getting in the car and leaving Jinyifang, Miss Lu asked, "Do you know them?" ”

"Well, yes. Li Qianqian didn't tell Miss Lu about their marriage together, and Miss Lu had her own channels to know the news, because that Chen Gongzi was actually one of Miss Lu's brothers-in-law.

"It's strange that the two of them are going to curry favor with you!" Li Qianqian said.

"My brother-in-law has always been romantic, but it is the first case of accepting two children at a time!" Miss Lu sighed.

"Your sister just put up with it?"

Miss Lu said curiously, "I can't bear it, what can I do?"

"That's right. "The merry men of this year are really popular, and they are embraced by the beautiful outside, and the good wives at home can only endure it, and they have to clean up the aftermath for them, like the princess of Ejiang.

"I heard that the two of them are cousins, but I don't know who is older and who is smaller after entering the mansion?" said Miss Lu with a little puzzlement.

Ms. Li declined to comment.

When he returned home, Chunshou was waiting on the second gate, and when he saw her coming back, he hurriedly returned to report, "The senior executive sent someone to send a post, but the great sect leader ignored him, saying that he was waiting for you to come back and wait for you to speak." ”

"What is he doing?"

"I don't know, I probably think that Mrs. Gao's mother and daughter have offended you, and now that they have all entered the Ejiang Mansion as concubines, your anger should be gone, so you came, right?"

Li Qianqian glanced at Chunshou and smiled, "This is what you think about yourself, or listen to Yunzhu and them." ”

"I thought to myself. Chunshou smiled embarrassedly, "The senior executive also sent something, Chunjiang didn't know whether to accept it, the big sect leader said that since they dared to send it, why didn't we dare to accept it, so he ordered us to accept it." ”

"What are they?" asked Li Qianqian as he walked.

"Pearls, agate, emeralds, rubies, sapphires, and a man-high coral. Chunshou counted them one by one with his fingers.

"It's all jewelry!"

Chunshou hurriedly added, "There are still some materials, Mother Ye has seen them, and said that they are all tribute." ”

"The tribute, the tribute is the royal one?"

Ga Chunshou scratched his head, "Mother Ye didn't say. ”

Li Qianqian nodded, and when he returned to the room, he saw Mother Ye and asked about it, Mother Ye said, "It's all the material that was paid tribute to the royal family of Zhao State, and it was probably brought over by them when they went north from Zhao State." ”

"Mom is very clear about Zhao Guohuang?"

"I have some understanding, the old slave's original master was an errand boy in Zhao State, but it's a pity that his life is thin. ”

"And my mother remembers her, and she is no longer a fortune teller. Li Qianqian patted the back of Ye's mother's hand and reassured.

After Mother Ye wiped away her tears, she turned her head and asked about the Tie family.

"The Iron Family?"

"Yes. Mother Ye told Li Qianqian all the words she heard from Xuanyi, and finally reminded her, "You can have a snack, Feng Gongzi!"

Li Qianqian nodded and responded, "I know, Feng San told me that day, he went to congratulate the owner of Tie Lao Zhuang on his birthday, but I didn't expect that the father and son of the people wanted to take the opportunity to leave him as a son-in-law. ”

When Mother Ye heard this, she nodded secretly, "Feng Gongzi is a good one." ”

"That's it. Otherwise, her cousin would not have allowed him to come to Loei for the rest of his life.

Mother Ye looked at Li Qianqian's appearance, she really couldn't be sure, was her family leader too generous and shy? Or did she not understand at all, I don't know what she was talking about?

Li Qianqian didn't think too much, she knew very well that in this era, it was impossible for her not to marry for the rest of her life, even if it was Lan Tang, she didn't want to marry, but the person she really wanted to marry, without her in her heart, her father didn't urge, and she was not in a hurry.

As for Li Qianqian herself, she has to admit that she has a good impression of Feng San, not because he looks good, but because the man next to her is not good-looking!

Feng San used to make her feel like a little brother, although he was older than her, after his father's accident, he finally grew up a little, and he was no longer as happy as before, Li Qianqian looked at it in his eyes, in fact, he felt quite sorry for him, because his parents died, and his family grew up rapidly due to great changes, which is the most painful way to grow up.

But let's be honest, there's never an easy way to grow.

The next day, near noon, Miss Lu visited.

Li Qianqian hurriedly asked her to come in, and saw Miss Lu walking in with a happy face.

"What's going on?

"Not really. Miss Lu first greeted Li Qianqian, and then asked Lan Tang how he was doing, before she sat down, took the iced summer tea offered by Chunjiang, took a sip, and then said with a smile, "Do you remember, the eldest lady Tie who came to the door yesterday?"

Remember, she picked out about 20 pieces. ”

"Yes, the shopkeeper didn't dare to give her an account, so he sent someone to the Iron General's Mansion to ask, and the steward of the Iron General's Mansion followed the person to the Jinyi Fang, and after seeing the Iron Lady, he respectfully invited her back to the General's Mansion. ”

Lan Tang didn't know about this, and hurriedly asked Li Qianqian to understand, and after Li Qianqian explained the relationship between Miss Tie and General Tie's Mansion, she said, "Miss Tie's father is the current owner of Tiejiazhuang, and General Tie is her second uncle. ”

Li Qianqian was surprised, "Huh, and send us a post?"

"Yes, it's just that you're all busy, and our Ruiyao Sect has no contact with Tiejiazhuang, so we only send people to give gifts. Lan Tang said as a matter of course. "But Feng San went, he was instructed by his brother to go, Feng Erge and Tie Lao Zhuang had a relationship, the old man had intended to recruit him as a son-in-law, but Feng Er didn't like that Tie Lady, saying that she was too pampered and unbearable to be a mother. ”

Uh, when Feng Er also has such a poisonous tongue, it is really an eye-opener! Li Qianqian stroked his forehead, "Then he asked Feng San to go, is he planning to cause trouble?"

As early as after he was injured, the old owner of the iron village had repaired a book to him, and asked about Feng San's marriage, Feng Er said at that time, this old man was uneasy and kind, his family taught his granddaughter crookedly, no one dared to marry, and he had no elders in his family to sit in the palm of his hand, so he wanted to stuff his granddaughter into Fengjiazhuang, was it intended to harm his Feng family?"

Not only did Li Qianqian listen to it, but even Miss Lu couldn't close her mouth in surprise, how could the Feng Er in Lan Tang's mouth be so different from the gentle and humble Feng Er Gongzi she knew?

"How does Feng Er know that Tiejiazhuang has taught his granddaughter crookedly?"

Lan Tang thought for a moment before saying, "How do you think Feng Er got acquainted with the Iron Old Owner?"

Hehe, you didn't say it, how do we know? But Li Qianqian didn't say, "How did they meet?"

"There are nearly ten sons of the Tiezhuang owner, but the daughter is just that, this Tie Da Lady not only eats finely, but also dresses up all of them, I heard that the Tiezhuang owner's wife wants to make her daughter the next first beauty in martial arts, but she used too much force to teach her daughter a little too much. ”

is obviously a young lady from a martial arts family, but she is raised to be more delicate than the daughter of the official family, she does not eat non-tribute rice, she does not wear non-imported materials, the jewelry is all exquisite, and the residence is extremely luxurious, but no one has seen her residence, so it is really difficult to judge this.

But just looking at her coming to the capital, she didn't want to live in the general's mansion, and would rather spend a lot of money to stay in the most famous inn in the capital, so she was not easy to raise!

Although Fengjiazhuang is very famous in the rivers and lakes, everyone in the village is not luxurious, that is, when the old wife of Fenglao and the wife of the old owner of Fenglao Zhuang were alive, they were dressed in a low-key manner, but this may be related to the fact that Fengjiazhuang was located in the capital of Nanchu at that time, after all, the people in the rivers and lakes were too arrogant and luxurious under the eyes of the emperor, so they didn't deliberately attract the emperor's eyes?
