Before Song Dongniang could lose weight, the Deng family came. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Yanzhou is located at the southwestern tip of the Jiang country, and the land is not fertile, except for the cultivation of mulberry trees, cotton and other crops, it is not suitable for farming. Therefore, Yanzhou produces the most cloth, and there are very few grains, vegetables and fruits, and a lot of the money Yanzhou people earn from selling cloth is used to buy grains, vegetables and fruits transported from other states and cities, and in general, Yanzhou is not rich. Just like the Song family, a wealthy family ranked top in Yanzhou, looking at the entire Jiang country, it is only average.

Therefore, Yanzhou's status in Jiang is not high, and Yanzhou is far away from Kyoto, and few people in Kyoto will come here.

Now that a large family has come, with the name of General Chongxian, and has bought a mansion that has been idle in Yuncheng for a long time, it is impossible to say that the people of Yuncheng are not excited.

So, a few days after the Deng family moved in, the official eunuchs who were within reach of Yuncheng handed over the posts and wanted to visit. However, the threshold of the general's family is high, except for the post of Yuncheng's parents, the official prefect, who has responded, the rest of the people have been rejected by the Deng family because Mrs. Deng is tired and unwell.

And the prefect's wife has always been tight-lipped, and after returning from the visit, she only said that Mrs. Deng was indeed unwell, and the eldest lady of the Deng family was entertaining guests throughout the whole process, and she didn't say a word about the rest.

Even the prefect's wife said so, it seems that what the Deng family said is true, and the people of Yuncheng originally complained about the coldness of the Deng family, and they were relieved with this explanation.

And the next move of the Deng family also confirmed the prefect's wife's statement. After a few days, the activities of the Deng family became frequent, first the maids and wives went out to buy, and then, the first people who handed over the post, a few were also selected to invite them to visit, that is, the rest of the people, the Deng family also gave an explanation, and after the family was cleaned up, a banquet would be held, and people with heads and faces in Yuncheng would be invited to come as guests.

As soon as these words came out, Yuncheng was boiling again, and everyone was speculating who could get the invitation letter from the Deng family.

Song Xianiang took Xi'er to wander around the eighth street and nine lanes, passing by the Wen family's jewelry store, and heard the shopkeeper shouting: "The new jewelry in this store is the same as the jewelry of the eldest lady of the Deng family, the popular style in Beijing, the ladies and ladies have come in to take a look and choose from it." ”

Popular styles in Beijing? The same style as the eldest lady of the Deng family? The Deng family hasn't seen many guests yet, but the jewelry they wear has been circulated? Wenjia jewelry stores can really create gimmicks.

Song Xianiang raised her eyebrows and went in to explore the reality.

As soon as she entered the door, she smelled a strong scent of smoke, Song Xianiang couldn't help but take a handkerchief to cover her nose, and then looked at it, ho, it turned out to be Mo Qianqian.

The Mo family is a gentleman of Yuncheng Township, and his ancestor is said to have been a prefect in other places, and he returned to his hometown to settle down in Yuncheng. Later, the Mo family has been living in Yuncheng, but there have never been children and grandchildren who have been officials, relying on the fields purchased by their ancestors to collect rent, although the family is not worried about food and clothing, but it is impossible to say how rich it is. And because of the ancestral training of the Mo family, the children and grandchildren cannot engage in business, so the Mo family guards one acre and three points of land, and insists on maintaining the image of their own clear stream.

Song Xianiang doesn't like the Mo family, obviously she doesn't have much money, and she looks down on the Song family who is in business, and she smells of poverty and sourness. And Mo Qianqian is a typical example of the Mo family, at a young age, a businessman who is greedy for money and closes his mouth is not allowed to flow into the hall, in fact, in Yuncheng, there are many merchants, and the merchants are not as high as in other states and cities, and the Mo family seems out of place to do this.

Originally, the two people who don't like each other will be over if they don't move in the same circle, but Yuncheng is small, A's friend is B's best friend, C's handkerchief is D's relative, hold a banquet, hold a poetry meeting, and there will always be three or four times out of ten. For example, now, you can bump into each other when you go shopping, and the road is really narrow.

Mo Qianqian also saw Song Xianiang, humming in her nose as if she had seen a fly, and then saw Song Xianiang take a handkerchief to cover her nose, and then realized that her incense was disgusted, and her face immediately drooped, "Song Xianiang, why are you covering your nose if it's okay?" If you don't like the bad taste here, you can just go out, so why bother to stay here? ”

It's really funny, I haven't opened my mouth yet, but the wicked man is angry first.

Song Xianiang deliberately pinched her nose and said sharply: "Ouch, Mo Qianqian, what you said is not right." A good jewelry store, open for business, if there is a peculiar smell, it will be terrible, my nose is smart, this is my aunt's shop, carry forward the kindness, find out where the source of this peculiar smell is. Saying that, Song Xianiang pretended to look for a peculiar smell, sniffed around, and after a while, she sniffed Mo Qianqian's body, and then pretended to be suddenly enlightened: "Oh, how could it be you?" Mo Qianqian, what kind of inferior incense did you use, the fragrance didn't smell, but it smelled stinky. ”

Mo Qianqian's face turned red all of a sudden, and she took a few steps back, "What nonsense are you talking about!" I smeared a condensate incense, which was sent by my uncle from Kyoto, and most people can't buy it if they want to. Song Xianiang, don't talk nonsense if you haven't seen good things. ”

The Mo family has so many distant relatives in Kyoto, and they always like to show off when they have nothing to do.

"I sent it from Kyoto, so it's no wonder. Incense this thing, the most can not withstand the long journey, all the way up the mountains and rivers, if the preservation is not good, the tide is moldy, but it stinks, let me think, from Kyoto, you have to take the land first, and then take the waterway, how to take three or four days, this incense can still be used is not easy. ”

That being said, the disdain in Song Xianiang's eyes clearly revealed a message, why do you still use the broken incense? Mo Qianqian's face turned even redder, her chest was so angry that she couldn't speak. Song Xia Niang saw that the goal was achieved, and she accepted it when she saw it, so as not to spread it out and look like she was bullying others, and her reputation would be ruined, you must know that she is a good girl who cherishes her feathers.

So, Song Xianiang threw a fluttering sentence: "You pick slowly, I'll go upstairs, so I won't be smoked to death." With that, he turned and walked up the stairs.

"Stop!"

Oh, I don't want a truce yet! Yes, this girl will accompany her to the end! Song Xianiang turned around and asked leisurely, "What's the matter?" I'm so busy that I don't have much time to talk to you. ”

"I'm busy too, but I still have some news to tell you." Mo Qianqian had already calmed down in a short period of time, took out a golden post from her pocket, and shook it in front of Song Xianiang, "See?" This is an invitation to the Deng family's banquet, which was just delivered to my house yesterday, and my daughters were invited to come to the door. The Deng family is a hot new magnate in Kyoto, and General Deng is the trusted general of today's saints, not to mention the people of our Yuncheng, even the officials and nobles of Kyoto are proud to make friends with the Deng family. Forget it, you don't understand this, your family is just a merchant's family, do a good business, just prepare fabrics for the ladies and ladies attending the banquet. ”

As soon as the words fell, Wen Yueyue walked in very appropriately, holding a jewelry box in her hand, and walked straight to Mo Qianqian and handed it to her: "Qianqian, this is the jewelry you ordered, the new style in Kyoto, but you have to take it." ”

Mo Qianqian motioned to the maid to take the jewelry box, glanced at Song Xianiang and said triumphantly, "See?" A thoughtful service like your cousin can do a good job, and a businessman should know his own duty and not offend customers for the sake of a momentary pleasure. Okay, I've bought what I should have bought, and it's time for me to go back and prepare something else. What should I do, the banquet of the Deng family is scheduled for three days later, and I still have to make new clothes and buy new rouge. Oh, by the way, Song Xianiang, do you have any new fabrics in your house? The whole Yuncheng has the best material for your family's cloth village, and I still want to order some fabrics. Before Song Xianiang could answer, Mo Qianqian suddenly realized: "I almost forgot, you don't understand your business, so let's go directly to Buzhuang to see it." Then I'll go first, goodbye. With that, he swayed and walked out.

Song Xia Niang was so angry that she smoked, isn't she just a person from Kyoto! What's the big deal! If you don't do it, it's just like the Mo family, strong on the outside and dry in the middle, just have face and no inside! Actually show off in front of this girl! This girl is not uncommon!

Xu is Song Xia Niang's vicious appearance was a little annoying, Wen Yueyue said timidly: "Second cousin, your face is so scary......

Song Xia was so angry that she glared at her and scolded: "You said you, what are you doing to Mo Qianqian's villain?" Not to be humiliated! What happened to the merchants? Earn money legally, spend money legally, how can they be like those who are poor and sour, they can't do without money, and they pretend to be ignorant of fireworks in the world every day, and they donate all their money if they have the ability! Don't touch money in this life, save the smell of copper! And what is the Deng family, Kyoto is amazing? Things gather in kind, people in groups, and those who come together with the Mo family must not be a good thing! ”

"No, second cousin, the Deng family is very good, and they are polite to people."

"What a good! Whether they give you gold or silver, it's worth saying good things for them! ”

"They are very generous, the last time they came to the store to buy jewelry, they ordered several heads in one go, as well as necklaces, earrings, bracelets or something, their maids, they didn't pick anything, almost all the better ones were bought, but they really made a big deal. Also, the jewelry styles they wear are different from ours here, the master in the store saw it, and made the same style, and now the store is selling very hot, only our family sells it. ”

"Those maids' jewelry is what you call Kyoto fashion? Didn't you say it was worn by the maids when you sold it? Did Mo Qianqian buy these styles? Song Xianiang had a flash of inspiration and asked several questions in one breath.

"My mother said, to make it bigger, the young lady who wears it is not all popular in Beijing, there is no need to explain it specifically, so it is sold hot, and Qianqian bought those few models."

When Song Xianiang heard this, she was about to applaud. Mrs. Wen is a shrewd philistine, she has never liked it, but this time she has done a great thing, that Mo Qianqian was deceived into buying the so-called new jewelry in Kyoto, and waited for the day of the banquet to dress up with the maids to see how proud she was.

Song Xia Niang felt very relieved just thinking about it, but it was a pity that she couldn't see that scene in person, otherwise she would have to laugh a few words.

No, how can you miss such a once-in-a-century good thing, isn't it just a banquet post, is it so difficult?

Song Xianiang couldn't help but inquire about the situation of the Deng family.

Wen Yueyue didn't know much, so she told what Mrs. Wen said, what was rumored in the streets and alleys, whether it was true or false.

When Song Xianiang heard this, she was even more energetic, could it be that she really came to a wealthy family with a face? No wonder the Mo family has no money and is willing to make a big investment in Mo Qianqian, it turns out that they want to catch big fish. It seems that these days because of the empty purse is not afraid to go out shopping and socialize, actually missed a lot of new things, if you miss the Deng family banquet again, how will she Song Xianiang mix in Yuncheng in the future? Even if you squeeze it, you have to squeeze into the feast.

I just want to think about it, the rules of the wealthy family are big, and it's not like you can go if you want to, how can you get a post?
