Chapter 624: Dereliction of duty

Li Qian smiled and shook his head, "Really?"

That's what the mothers-in-law said. Chunshou paused, and then said, "But the slave maid thinks that what the mother-in-law said is a little too much." ”

The son of the Shuilan County Mansion will inherit the County Palace's Mansion in the future, and the husband and wife of the helmsman actually want to recruit him as a son-in-law?

How do you know that Chunshou said next, the current princess and the concubine of the prince are all from merchants.

"Merchant girl?"

"Yes!" Chunshou asked, puzzled, "You don't know?"

Li Qian smiled and shook her head, she just thought that the county king's mansion was a clan, and the princess of the county would be the princess of the county in the future, so it was said that the county king should be able to choose a noble wife for his son.

"I heard that the county king's mansion is shy, so whoever bids the highest price will become the princess's daughter, and the other bidders will become the concubine of the prince. "It's the first time I've heard of someone marrying a wife like this, so I'm very impressed.

Chunjiang added, "I heard that the reason why Jiang Mingting was able to enter the county palace was because the Jiang family gave a lot of money. ”

How short of money is there in this county king's mansion? Li Qianqian blinked when he heard this, and Yun Zhu said with a smile, "There are actually a lot of people in the fiefdom, but who made the father of the county king of Shuilan a romantic man, I heard that he has no less than thirty concubines. ”

But there are only two children in the concubine, a son and a daughter, the daughter is married to an auxiliary general, and the son is the current county king.

There are so many children in the public school, so many children have to be supported, everyone can naturally get less, plus people always have preferences, the old county king will be more or less partial to one or two of them, so he will give more, he spoke, and the old county princess will do so, but how much the old county king wants to give, she will find a reason, and make up for a pair of children born to herself.

The old county king has nothing to say, even if the concubines in the palace are uneven, they can't help it, who makes the old county princess the housewife?

The money in the public was hollowed out like this, and when it was passed to the county king, the county king's mansion was already about to become an empty shell, and his father raised taxes in order to fill the hole in his own house, so the capable families moved away, and those who could leave were left who couldn't leave.

After the current county king took over, he immediately lowered taxes, and then launched a series of investment promotion activities, and the income gradually improved.

It's just that at that time, in addition to more than a dozen younger brothers and sisters who want to get married, his children have also grown up, and they are waiting for money everywhere inside and out.

After listening to this past, Li Qianqian couldn't help but say, "This is really ......" makes people not know what to say.

Although there are several large tax payers now, for the county king's mansion, the more money the better!

"The king of Shuilan County takes his son as a ......" Li Qianqian didn't know what to say for a while, paused and said, "Does his son have no opinion?"

Chunshou glanced at each other and shook his head, "It seems that there is no opinion, besides, the girls who sent it to the door are not bad, since they were sent to the door, and they have the money to collect it, why not?" Chunshou said so, but looking at her expression, she should be very disdainful of the actions of the Shuilan County Palace.

Looking at Chunjiang again, they are all about the same as Chunshou, Li Qianqian smiled, "I don't know how many women entered the mansion as concubines after the invitation banquet of the Shuilan County Palace?"

Jiang Mingting and the prince first met, it was at the chrysanthemum banquet in the county king's mansion, I heard that when the prince first saw her, he also praised her as light as a chrysanthemum, but look at her deeds, saying that she is like a chrysanthemum, it is really an insult to the noble chrysanthemum.

Li Qianqian saw that everyone was a little excited, thought for a while and said, "Come and help me pick out clothes and jewelry!"

Lan Tang first agreed, pulled Yunzhu and went to the inner room, while Zhang Duoli held Li Qianqian's hand and asked in a low voice, "You say, will the helmsman and his wife take the opportunity to send their daughter to the county king's mansion?"

"It's hard to say, if they have a heart, they will definitely not let go of this opportunity easily. ”

Li Qianqian knew that the reason why Second Master Li wanted her father to come was to take advantage of her father's momentum, so that Jiang Mingting could go smoothly in the county king's mansion.

The Jiang family originally only wanted to borrow the power of the Li family, otherwise Mrs. Li would not have been involved, but they didn't expect the second master Li to bring Li Qianqian back.

The invitation banquet of the county prince's mansion, the Jiang family also got the invitation, Mrs. Jiang recuperated for such a period of time, her body has improved greatly, but her demeanor is still a little wilted, knowing that her family has been invited, but she has come to the spirit, and learned that several daughters-in-law will take her granddaughters to the banquet, she thought for a while, and said, "Take Mingting and her sisters-in-law with you!"

Several daughters-in-law exchanged glances, and the eldest lady replied, "Will there be too many people going like this?"

"Is it much?" said the old lady after a moment's thought, "don't take a few small ones with you." As soon as the old lady's words fell, some of the first few girls in the house had red eyes, some of them shook their mother's sleeves aggrievedly, and some opened their mouths to speak, but they were stopped in time.

The old lady looked at it all and smiled bitterly, "How old are you? There will be a chance in the future, so don't go this time." ”

"Old Lady ......"

"Ming Ting just entered the county king's mansion, you all go, it's too eye-catching. ”

The old lady's words fell, and the eldest lady understood after thinking about it, it is true, the old lady and the old lady Li were locked up in prison because of the girl's affairs, if she went to the banquet again this time, she was not afraid of what others said, she was afraid that the prince and the prince of the county would have opinions on their daughter.

The old lady and the eldest lady both think so, what else can the other wives say, naturally they can only do it, as for the girls below who have opinions, they can only endure it, who let these two one is the ancestor of the family, the other is the housewife, offending the ancestor, at most it is not pleasing the ancestor, but if you offend the housewife, it will be endless.

Not to mention, when they get married, the dowry and the person who handles the marriage are the eldest wives who are the housewives, and if she wants to do something about the dowry, they can't eat and walk around.

"By the way, count the days, there are still a few days, tomorrow, let's go to the newly opened brocade shop in the east of the city to pick up clothes. The eldest lady slapped a stick and gave a sweet date, but only a few girls who were sure to go to the banquet smiled.

"Sister-in-law, are all the girls in the family going?"

"It's nature. The eldest lady smiled with crooked eyebrows, "They are all girls in the family, of course they all have a share." ”

As soon as these words fell, laughter immediately rang out in the room.

The wife of the helmsman also made an appointment with the wife of the deputy helmsman, and Ming'er would take her daughter and niece to Jinyifang to pick up clothes.

There was originally a brocade shop in Shuilan City, but the location of the store was not very good, and the scale was not very large, and another one was recently opened in the east of the city, and the scale of the new store was twice as large as the original store, and the lighting was also better.

When the sky was bright, Li Qianqian was pulled up by Lan Tang and the others, "What are you doing so early?" She was actually sleeping back to sleep at this time, she got up to practice martial arts before dawn, sweated, and only after washing did she rush back to the bed to nest under the quilt.

"Let's go shopping for clothes today. Lan Tang stretched out her hand to pull Li Qianqian as she spoke, after counting Li Qianqian's clothes yesterday, she found that they were all a little thin, in fact, Chunjiang and they made a lot of new clothes for Li Qianqian, but it looked a little dull to wear them to the banquet.

Zhang Duoli and Lan Tang because Mrs. Zhang took them to the banquet, so they made a lot of new clothes, bright colors and novel styles, in contrast, Li Qianqian's clothes were slightly inferior, after Lan Tang went back, the more he thought about it, the more inappropriate it became, and he went to find Zhang Duoli when he got up, and as soon as the two of them combined, they decided to take Li Qianqian to buy new clothes.

Li Qianqian basically handed over the dressing and other things to Chunjiang and Chunshou, and when he heard that he was going to buy new clothes, he was a little excited, "I don't want to go out." ”

"Go, go, go! Even if you don't buy it, go and help us with our palms. Lan Tang thought for a while, glanced at Zhang Duoli, and said, this is what the two of them said, Lan Tang knows Li Qian's shallow temperament, so he coaxed her out on the grounds that she was the palm of her eyes.

Li Qianqian raised her eyebrows and looked at them for a long time before nodding in agreement.

Jinyifang didn't open so early, and after a long break after eating, he went out slowly.

Came to the newly opened Jinyifang, the door was already full of cars, the front-line staff was already busy sweating, the coachman saw this and asked Chunshou, do you want to show your identity, Chunshou turned his head to ask for instructions, Li Qianqian shook his head, "You don't have to show your identity, just look at their quality." ”

Yes, the big proprietor is going to take the opportunity to investigate, and the coachman tears of sympathy for this store, but he will not go to the ventilator to report the news.

I didn't identify myself, so I had to line up like other guests.

This row took half an hour, Li Qianqian frowned, and followed the small maid into the Jinyi Fang, and a beautiful maid stepped forward to take over, because they were all young girls, they were a little disliked, the little girls had limited money on hand, no matter how much the family spoiled, they would not let them spend a lot of money, unless they came with the elders.

Although I don't like it in my heart, I still have a smile on my face, but in the end, I can't hide my thoughts because of my lack of experience, not to mention that Li Qianqian can see it, even Lan Tang and they can see it.

However, Li Qianqian didn't speak, so naturally they didn't say anything.

The maid took samples for them and introduced them one by one, probably thinking that no matter how detailed the introduction was, they would not buy it, so the attitude was obviously a little impatient, which made people feel her impatience very clearly, and wanted to send them out quickly, so as to receive the next guest who was expected to buy.

Li Qianqian didn't care about her attitude, she was observing the movement after entering the store throughout the whole process, there was no big problem with the movement online, the maids who entertained the guests were still young, and this could be slowly improved when they received more guests.

The snow began to fall outside, Li Qianqian walked to the window, and looked out through the window, the already chaotic visitors downstairs became even more chaotic because of the snow.

Lan Tang and Zhang Duoli were discussing the style with Chunjiang, and finally Chunjiang asked the maid, "Is this dress in stock in the store?"

The maid was trying to leave to breathe, and immediately responded when she saw this, she went for half an hour, and she didn't send anyone to send tea and snacks during the period, Lan Tang couldn't help but say, "Is this shop not in this habit, or because there are too many people today, so I forgot?"

"Who knows. Zhang Duoli sneered, "I think that the maid should have forgotten to explain at all!" "Snacks and tea are available in every store, but they need to be notified by the maid in charge of reception."

This is afraid that some guests come and go in a hurry, if only the tea is poured, this snack is fresh and hot, if it is sent over, the guest has already left, these snacks can not be sent back to the kitchen, nor can they be transferred to other guests, it is too unparticular, but in this way, these snacks are wasted.

Therefore, the maid in charge needs to be notified, and the kitchen will bring tea and snacks.

But they have been in this box for so long, but they have nothing, so it can be seen that the maid in charge has neglected her duty.

"What's the matter? Go get a dress for so long, go for so long, forget it, but she didn't come back to say a word?" Chunshou complained in a low voice.

Chunjiang frowned and walked to Li Qianqian's side, "Sect Master, look, do you want the slave to find the shopkeeper?"

"Wait. ”

As soon as she spoke, she saw that the door of the box opened, and it was the maid who was responsible for receiving them who came in, but she was originally full of smiles, but when she saw Li Qianqian and them in the box, her face changed suddenly and froze, and behind her were Mrs. Jiang and others.

The maid stiffened her face, and it took a while for a while to say, "You, why haven't you left yet?"

I thought that she hadn't come back for so long, and they should be impatient to leave, so she would take the daughters of the Jiang family to this box, but I didn't expect them to be so young and patient, so they didn't leave?

It's too bad that the guest she entertained in front of her hasn't left, and she has picked up a new guest, and she will definitely be reprimanded by the shopkeeper when she turns back!

Thinking of this, her face was extremely ugly, and after turning her head to appease Mrs. Jiang and the others, she quickly stepped forward to persuade Li Qianqian and the others to retreat.

No, a girl behind Mrs. Jiang spoke first, "Who are these people? Don't you know that this box is what our Jiang family is used to? Why don't you hurry up!"

Li Qianqian didn't move, they were all guests, they still came first!

The maid's face was slightly stiff, but she still stepped forward to catch up, "A few girls are really sorry, I'm slacking off today, and I ask you to forgive me, there are really a lot of guests today, if a few of you are not in a hurry to buy clothes, why don't you come back tomorrow?"

"Who told you that we weren't in a hurry to buy clothes? You didn't go to get our clothes, why didn't you get them for so long, you didn't even take the clothes and poured them, you didn't even see a tea and snacks, you didn't even see a trace, you finally appeared, but you came with new guests to catch people!" Yun Zhu snorted coldly, and opened his mouth to ask like a cannon.

She was louder than a voice, and with the blessing of internal force, the voice penetrated to the outside, not only the waitresses who were entertaining the guests could hear it clearly, but even the guests sitting in other boxes could hear it clearly, and the maids couldn't stop it if they wanted to, and they were so anxious that they were about to cry.

Although Mrs. Jiang didn't like the maid's actions when she saw this, as a new guest of the maid's reception, she had no choice but to step forward and say to Li Qianqian, "Which family are the children of the girls, on such a cold day, why do the elders of the family still let you out to play, and they are not afraid of freezing you?

When the maid saw her speaking for herself, she couldn't help but smile gratefully, but when she looked at Li Qianqian and them, she couldn't help but be angry.

Zhang Duoli saw that she had done something wrong, not only did she not reflect on her mistakes, but also glared at them, and couldn't help but sneer, Mrs. Jiang stood behind the maid, and when she saw Zhang Duoli's appearance as a woman, she couldn't help but squint her eyes slightly, and said in her heart, this dead girl was really good.

If her Ting'er has such a look, she will definitely not be afraid that the son of the world will be abducted by other women.

Chunshou smiled, "This lady said it very well, but our master is not at home! If we hadn't gone to the banquet, our young lady wouldn't have bothered to go out!"

Since its establishment, Jinyifang has not provided door-to-door service, and if you want to buy his clothes, you have to buy them in person.

Chunshou's words gave the maid a message very clearly, that is, what to buy, her young lady can be in charge, so the maid's self-righteousness made her offend a potential customer.

The maid's face was red, she was ashamed, she pointed to Chunshou and said, "You, you said that your young lady can be in charge, she can be in charge!"

"Of course!" Chunshou said with a red face, which was angry.

Outside the box, the shopkeeper hurriedly arrived, she pointed to a steward beside her, and said to the ladies of the Jiang family who were blocking the door of the box, "I'm really sorry to delay the ladies and ladies to choose clothes, this is the Chen steward in our store, she will be responsible for entertaining you." ”

Steward Chen hurriedly stepped forward to take the ladies of the Jiang family away, Mrs. Jiang was in the house, did not follow, the shopkeeper ordered someone to guard the door, and then entered the box by himself, and closed the door, I thought I would see the angry guests, but I didn't expect the three girls sitting calmly, and the waiting maid stood behind them.

On the contrary, it was the maid who was at a loss who was so angry that her eyes were red.

When she looked closely, she realized that the little girl sitting in the middle was not the sect leader she had gone to see that day.
