Chapter 734: Not a concubine
After Mrs. Rong entered the box, she was still puffing up, Mrs. Ji bowed her head with the tea and was silent, and Grandma Gao was afraid that the world would not be chaotic in front of Mrs. Ji, talking about the rumors outside.
Mrs. Ji raised her eyes slightly, looked at her daughter who was foaming at the mouth, and was slightly disappointed.
Grandma Gao is the second daughter of Mrs. Ji, her mother-in-law is in business, her eldest sister is married to Qipin County Order, if her sister marries Mrs. Rong's youngest son, he is now a Xiucai, everyone says that his talent is better than that of his eldest brother-in-law, and his future will definitely be stronger than that of his eldest brother-in-law.
In this way, among the three sisters, the grandmother who is the second in the second line is the worst to marry, because she is married to a merchant family, and her husband is white, so she definitely doesn't want Ji Rong's family business to succeed.
Old Mrs. Ji took a sip of tea, "You can take a breath!" She glanced at the daughter-in-law beside her, then turned her head to look at her cousin Mrs. Rong, and saw that she was still angry, so she couldn't help but persuade, "Okay! What are you angry about? Before formally discussing marriage, you know that the Wu family's character is not good, isn't it? This is the blessing of your Rong family ancestors! Don't let such a woman with a bad character enter the door, so as to save ruining the Rong family's style!"
Although Mrs. Rong felt that what her cousin said was reasonable, she was difficult to calm down. "You say, if their family really doesn't look down on my brother, why would they have said it earlier, why are they dragging us like this?"
"Isn't this your brother too good, they can't bear to be snatched away by another family!"
When Mrs. Rong heard this, she finally smiled, but the smile was not big, and it could only be seen that she was satisfied with Mrs. Ji's words.
Grandma Gao was a little unhappy when she saw this, but she had no choice but to keep silent when she saw the old lady showing favor to her aunt, she clearly understood that even if she didn't want to, if the family made up their minds to marry the Rong family, it would be useless for her to say anything, who would make her a married daughter?
Lowered her head from the food box on the table, grabbed a piece of dried apricots, and sent it to her mouth without looking, and took two bites and found that it was a dried apricot that she had never touched.
Li Qianqian knew that Mrs. Jiang Wu and Mrs. Rong did not have a conflict, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Chunjiang and them, "Your new clothes are ready, right?" The maid waiting in the box nodded, "The clothes of several sisters have been ready, knowing that the sect leader is coming, I just asked the shopkeeper of the new store to send them all over, I have just arrived, and the others have already gone over to see it." ”
Originally, Liu Er was saying that it would be a bit too much to ask Jinyifang to make clothes for his subordinates? However, Li Qianqian asked them, "Since they have their own clothes, why do they have to invite people from outside to make them?" The money is not earned by their own families, but by outsiders?"
Liu Er was scratched his head by her rhetorical question, and then thought about it, there are no needle line people in Loei, and the clothes given to the next person every quarter must be made by an outside garment store.
Originally, Liu Yi thought that he would ask the master of Jinyifang to make clothes for his subordinates, and they didn't have to pay, but who knew that the head of his family said, one yard is one yard, since he asked the master of Jinyifang to make clothes, how could he not give money?
So the money is still paid.
As soon as this matter came out, the wife of the helmsman and the wife of the deputy helmsman were stunned for a while, these two people were well informed, and they knew that Li Qianqian asked the master of Jinyifang to make clothes for their subordinates, and the next day someone was sent to call the master of Jinyifang, and went to their house to tailor clothes for the people, and I heard that even the girls and daughters-in-law of their family also ordered no clothes.
It's a fool not to take advantage of this cheap thing!
Afraid of people talking? The sect leader has done this himself, and they are not allowed to do the same?
Who knows, Li Qianqian actually sent Liu Yi to take the money to Jinyifang, paid the money, or paid the full amount, and did not let the store give her a discount.
Now the lady of the helmsman and the wife of the deputy helmsman are dumbfounded!
They thought that they didn't need to spend money, they could toss vigorously, of course! The clothes of the next people are only two pieces per season! The fabrics are also ordinary, but they themselves and their daughters, as well as their daughters-in-law, the fabrics they pick are not cheap, one person ordered six sets of clothes in one breath, and the clothes of several of their masters, plus one plus are about to equal the total amount of people's clothes, but the price difference is nearly six times.
If this is to be paid in full, the lady of the helmsman calculates, even if she sticks all the private houses into it, she still owes two or three thousand taels of silver!
The wife of the deputy helmsman is richer, and she is also better at running a business, so if all the money is paid by herself, she can still get it, and she still has spare energy.
However, she didn't want to give this money to her subordinates at all! They originally wanted to take advantage of the Jinyifang and let the Jinyifang help them make clothes for free, and they could also dazzle with their relatives and friends when they turned around, look, I am such a generous master, and I asked the masters of Jinyifang to make winter clothes for our family!
All these plans have come to naught!
In the end, only two pieces of clothing were left for themselves, their daughters, and their daughters-in-law, and the subordinates had to cancel all the orders.
Li Qianqian didn't care about the evaluation of these two people, the old lady was willful when she was rich, how could she be rich? If she has money, she doesn't make money for her own shop, but uses it to earn money for people outside? She is stupid? And let the subordinates dress well, and she, the master, also has face!
After Gao Ling'er knew about this, she bit her ear and muttered to Zhang Duoli, Zhang Duoli smiled and told her what Li Qianqian said back to Liu Er, and said, "Shallowly, in fact, the family is well dressed, and going out is also to give the master a long face, and ah! She didn't quite understand what advertising meant, though.
She doesn't understand, Li Qianqian understands! The explanation is not clear, so Li Qianqian is asked to talk about it.
Chunjiang and the others followed the maid out, and Gao Ling'er immediately sat down next to Li Qianqian and asked this question.
Li Qianqian smiled and scratched his head, "Actually, it's not surprising, we don't have needles in our family, we find someone to make ready-made, and I don't want people outside to make money, that's all." ”
Is that really the only way?
Years later, Jin Clothes opened a new business, making uniforms for some famous and wealthy people.
In the previous dynasty, the descendants of these famous and wealthy families generally had the colors and styles of clothes that each family was used to wearing, and when outsiders saw them, it was easy to know that they were the descendants of that family from their clothes and styles.
After the collapse of the previous dynasty, many famous families gradually withered due to natural disasters and **, and new families arose, but in the end the foundation was thin, and no one had the heart to care about what the subordinates were wearing, so the streets often appeared, and the masters bought things and wanted to call their own subordinates to help, but because they didn't recognize the person who was waiting, they handed over the things to other people.
Sometimes they were called to wait with them temporarily, and they had never seen their master before, and of course, they didn't dare to look up to see what their master looked like, so it was very common for them to mistake someone.
In fact, when making clothes for their own people every season, the same fabric is usually used, generally speaking, the above situation does not happen often, but I just looked at the people around Li Qianqian, all dressed in a straight spirit, I feel that with the same money, why do people's people look stronger than ours?
Looking at what people were wearing, it was actually made by the brocade shop, and I couldn't help but want to imitate it.
This effect is also a type of advertising, right?
Li Qianqian couldn't tell Gao Ling'er too carefully, but Gao Ling'er was very smart, and when she turned around, she helped her maid go to Jinyifang to order clothes, and when they took back the clothes and put them on, standing beside her, the figure reflected in the mirror made Gao Ling'er feel very satisfied.
Chunjiang and the others haven't come back yet, but Lan Tang came back first, Li Qianqian looked at her and raised his eyebrows and looked at her inquiringly.
Lan Tang blushed slightly and nodded, Zhang Duoli wanted to laugh when she looked at it, "Tired, let's sit down and rest?" Lan Tang sat down as he said, and Li Qianqian poured a cup of tea for her.
"What about Chunjiang?"
"They're going to try on clothes. ”
"Oh, Yunzhu, you can go too!" Yunzhu shook her head, "When they come back, there are people waiting around the masters, and I won't be too late to go." ”
When she said this, Lan Tang couldn't urge her, and Li Qianqian looked at her and asked, "Is your master's hand okay?"
"It's okay, don't worry. Yun Zhu knew that she was asking, did Lan Tang's hand be pricked by the embroidery needle.
Li Qianqian knew that Lan Tang was not injured, and Lan Tang finished drinking tea and asked about Fang Cai.
Because the gossip master Chunshou was not there, Zhang Duoli and Gao Linger made cameos, and their skills were not bad, and Lan Tang listened to it with relish.
After trying on the clothes, it was correct, and the maids and servants who came with Li Qianqian and them went back first, so as not to be targeted by those nasty ghosts because the lineup was too large and eye-catching.
When Chunjiang and the others came back, Zhang Duoli and the others just finished talking about the Jiang family, the Wu family, and the Rong family.
Some of these are unknown to Li Qianqian, this part is provided by Gao Ling'er, Gao Ling'er is also the digital son of Fengjiazhuang, she has someone to help her inquire about the news, and the plans of the Ji family, the arrogance of the Rong family and the Wu family's suspected breach of trust and breach of contract are all clearly organized.
Li Qianqian and the others were speechless, Gao Ling'er even knew that Grandma Gao didn't want her little sister to marry Young Master Rong.
As they were talking, there was another sound outside, and when Li Qianqian and the others heard the movement, they couldn't help but go to the window to look outside, and saw a thin woman in gorgeous clothes, surrounded by maids and servants, confronting Mrs. Jiang and others.
Mrs. Jiang looked at her, her eyes were full of anger and injustice, looking at the other party rubbing her right lower back, she couldn't help but sneer, the other party didn't speak, and the maid next to her stepped forward and pushed back articulately.
The two sides did not give in to each other on the cloister on the second floor.
"What's going on!" Li Qianqian stroked his forehead.
Zhang Duoli looked at the thin woman curiously, "Who is that?"
"Who else? "The princess!" Lan Tang went to see her, so he knew who she was.
"How did you hit a piece?"
When Mrs. Jiang met the princess of Shuilan County, it was like seeing her enemy in the world! It was because of this woman that her daughter was not corrected, and it was also because of this woman that her daughter was thrown back to the Jiang family as if she had been used and discarded.
The combination of new hatred and old hatred, how can Mrs. Jiang not be angry? Especially when she saw the other party wearing gold and jade, surrounded by subordinates, in contrast, her poor daughter was alone in the Zhuangzi, and no one was waiting, which really made the eldest lady feel extremely distressed when she thought about it.
Mrs. Jiang naturally forgot that the reason why her daughter ended up today was all done by herself. If she is not corrected, it was decided by the king of Shuilan County, and she was thrown back to the Jiang family because she dared to hurt the child in the belly of the princess.
And these things, she, as a mother, knows all about them clearly, and most of the safflower stuffed in the sachet ball was brought by the eldest lady.
The daughter was sent to Zhuangzi by the old lady, and she didn't dare to argue with reason, because she was afraid that her mother-in-law would see through it.
However, none of this prevented her from settling accounts with the princess.
"My daughter is innocent, you can't keep the child yourself, I'm afraid that the princess of the county will be dissatisfied with you because of this, so you will blame my daughter. ”
"You woman is so rude, what are you yelling at my concubine? Your daughter is innocent? Then you go to the yamen to beat the drum and voice your grievances! What is the name of the princess who came to my family? Shout loudly, and the reason is on your side? Ha!"
"My sister is arguing with her, I don't have to lower our style. ”
"That's what my sister said. After finishing speaking, he no longer paid attention to Mrs. Jiang, but said to the steward who rushed over when he heard the movement, "Steward, this is how your store greets customers?
The steward who rushed over was Liu Sanniang, she smiled bitterly and said, "I hope the princess will forgive me, the small shop is not well greeted, the clothes you ordered have been made, can you go up and see it now?"
The princess held the maid's hand, and Liu Sanniang immediately stepped forward to lead the way, and as for Mrs. Jiang, she left it to another steward to greet her.
The princess didn't pay attention to Mrs. Jiang's words from beginning to end, and the ladies and wives who were watching next to her were busy teaching their daughters and daughters-in-law, "Look, who is Mrs. Jiang with this bearing? It doesn't matter to the princess, she is the mother of the concubine, she is a main room, is it necessary to talk to the concubine's mother?"
Another lady said to her daughter, "Concubine! It's just a thing, and she dares to murder the concubine of the main family, which is a great crime, if it weren't for her peace Prince Peace's concubine family, the county king would still be able to spare her life?"
"I think it's for the sake of Marquis Li. The old lady who spoke paused, "After all, Marquis Li's mother-in-law is the daughter of the Jiang family, and she is the aunt and grandmother of the concubine of the prince." ”
"There should be both, right?"
After the young girls looked at the princess as a princess, when they looked at Mrs. Jiang again, they couldn't help but have some complicated emotions in their eyes, Jiang Mingting used to be a little friend who played with them!
Who knew that the style of painting had changed, and the good lady was mixed with the married son, and it was okay to mix together, she turned out to be the outer room of the family, and after giving birth to a son, she was taken back to the county palace as a concubine.
At that time, the elders in the family wished that they had never interacted with Jiang Mingting, but when the concubine passed away in the previous life, it was rumored that Jiang Mingting would be corrected, and the attitude of the elders in the family changed again.
Jiang Mingting was sent back to Jiang's house, and their elders changed their minds again, and the girls couldn't help but secretly rejoice, fortunately, they didn't get close to Jiang Mingting because of their elders before.
The girls looked at the scene of the farce just now, and secretly decided in their hearts that they would never be concubines, otherwise even the family would be affected, and they didn't look at Mrs. Jiang, who has always been dignified and gentle, in order not to grow into the daughter of a concubine, she turned into the shrew she is today.
