Third Sister You wants to open a private club in Chang'an City, although she already has her uncle as a backer, but it is still much more difficult than in later generations. XsHuoTXt

The first thing standing in front of us is the world's harsh attitude towards women. As the saying goes, women get together a lot. In this era when men and women are seven years old, if you want to drum up a private club, the most important thing is to take care of reputation and safety.

Judging from the noble daughters of the family that You Sanjie has met and the customers she wants to face after opening a private club, if there is really any scandal, it will not only be a business matter, but a fatal and vengeance matter.

Therefore, Third Sister You must be thoughtful. There are some uncertain links that would rather not be there than hidden dangers.

But fortunately, after the third sister You crossed, the most familiar method was to pull the flag and pull the tiger's skin. So after she made up her mind about opening a private club, the first thing she thought of was how to hook up with the palace-

For example, hiring a grandmother from the palace to transfer and teach maids, and buying some boys who are innocent and castrated but can't enter the palace as rough servants, it is necessary to ensure that there will be no men in the club.

The business model of the club should not be as frequent and random as later generations. Instead, it is held several times a month on a regular basis, just like the current camellia party.

The members in the club are divided into four levels: Purple Gold, Gold, Silver and Bronze. The clubhouse is not open to the public, but only for members. An annual fee is charged every year – that is, the annual fee for Zijin members is 2,000 taels of silver per year, and the annual fee for gold members is 1,500 taels of silver per year. The standard annual fee for Silver members is 1,000 taels of silver per year, while the annual fee for the lowest class of Bronze members is 1,000 taels of silver per year. If an outsider wants to join the club, he must have a gold member as a referral......

Another example is that the business items in the club can include rouge rice, clothes and jewelry, beauty and health care...... After all the members get acquainted, they can also set up some charity groups such as Huiyan Yaji according to the situation.

You must know that although everyone said that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, it is precisely because of the words of these parents that people pay more attention to the right person. Therefore, the expectations of the husband's family and the mother's family on the woman's shoulders are much higher than those of ordinary people in later generations-

The same can be seen in the later commercial or political marriages. It can be seen that this has been the case throughout the ages.

The third sister You who came here has lived here for eleven years, and she is used to seeing her daughter's husband and children, trapped in the inner house. However, she didn't want to be trapped by the quadrangle of the courtyard for the rest of her life.

So she has high hopes for this clubhouse. So look ahead and be cautious. I am afraid that there will be a little omission, which will damage the overall situation and harm the Chen family. However, Third Sister You also firmly believes that as long as this matter is properly planned, the benefits to the Chen family are also obvious-

Of course, there are many smart people. At least his uncle Chen Qi also sniffed out the ambition contained in this plan.

“…… The club is only internal and not external, and members introduce members ......"

Chen Ju carefully flipped through the strips in his hand, and smiled at Third Sister You: "I didn't expect Third Sister to have such a hilly ...... As soon as you open this club, it will be convenient for everyone to accumulate contacts. ”

When Third Sister You heard this, she also grinned and said, "This is nature. Perhaps after the establishment of my clubhouse, Mrs. diplomacy arose in Chang'an City. It is important to know that it is sometimes easier for women to talk and do things with women than with men outside. ”

is crisp and crisp, but it exposes the ambition of the third sister.

When Uncle Chen Qi heard this, he hooked the corners of his mouth meaningfully. Because he said: "You are a girl who has not been out of the cabinet, and it is inconvenient to act. Some things can be entrusted to your mother and your aunt, we are all a family, so naturally we have to help each other. ”

Third Sister You was overjoyed when she heard this, and knew that her uncle had responded to this matter. I couldn't help but laugh and say, "That's nature." After the establishment of the Xianyuan Collection, it is necessary to worry about the labor of the uncle. Otherwise, I am a girl's family, where can I have the face to invite such noble people! ”

The so-called virtuous collection is the deeds of filial piety and virtuous women handed down from the previous dynasty. You Sanjie named the women's assembly with this book, which shows her scheming ambition.

Chen Jue naturally knew the mind of Third Sister You. Hearing this, he groaned slightly, then waved his hand and smiled: "There is no need to rush this matter. You first repair the place, and when everything is ready, and only the nobles are owed, the uncle will naturally have a better candidate. ”

Third Sister You and her uncle have always had a tacit understanding. Hearing this, I didn't feel my heart moved, and I hurriedly said with a smile: "Sure enough, my uncle is thoughtful. In this case, I entrusted it to my uncle. ”

When Chen Qi heard this, he smiled happily.

After that, the third sister You began to repair the club with the support of Chen Qi. Because a few years ago, Chen Qi had bought a five-entry mansion for the third sister You in the prosperous area of Beijing. The third sister You took this place as the base, and begged her uncle to invite Shanziye to plan and build it, and repaired the house according to the third sister's wishes. And this house is called "Chen Garden".

Later, Chen Jue opened the door of the prince and hired ten old palace maids from the palace to transfer and teach the maids. These maids are all innocent girls that Chen Qi is now buying. As for the rough servants who went castrated, they were also boys with innocent family backgrounds and beautiful appearances found by the eunuchs in the palace.

During this period, the third sister You personally drafted and designed the membership card - the third sister You named it Xianyuan Note. Xianyuan's paper is fancy and complex, and it is divided into four materials, namely purple gold paper, gold paper, silver paper and bronze paper. Five pieces of each material. After the completion of Chen Yuan, he will give these virtuous notes to the noble girl who should be sent.

As for the two shops that Chen Jue gave her, they also sold spices, rouge, clothes and jewelry. All of them were renamed Mirror Flower Yuan.

The piles were busy and chaotic, and by the time Third Sister You came back to her senses, it was already July. It is July 21, the birthday of Mrs. Chen.

Because Chen Qi is now a second-class official, and his high power is in the emperor's heart, the guests who came to celebrate his birthday today are naturally in an endless stream of people.

Not to mention the old friends who have a lot of contacts on weekdays, the official eunuchs are relatives of the emperor, and the princes and grandsons have also come a lot - at least the third prince, the sixth prince and the twelfth prince who have dealt with Chen Qi have all brought the princess to congratulate him. Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince brought the Crown Princess and the Imperial Sun over.

Before the feast, the Ministry of Rites ordered the saint to give a birthday gift, so there is no need to elaborate.

Seeing that the Chen family was so hot, the guests present couldn't help but be jealous and envious, and their eyes almost turned red. Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the princes and nobles were busy, but they sat down and left. Rao is like this, after the news spread, there are still four kings and eight princes of the noble family prepared a generous gift to the Chen Mansion to congratulate the birthday.

The people of the Chen family never thought that there were so many people celebrating their birthdays, so that the banquet could not be arranged, and they almost snubbed the distinguished guests to laugh and be generous.

At the time of crisis, fortunately, the third sister You had an idea, taking advantage of the stall where the ladies accompanied the old birthday star to worship and talk in the main courtyard of the back house, and ordered the maids in the family to withdraw part of the table and set up a buffet in the back garden.

After participating in the scene for a while, there was a little girl in the audience who did not leave her head to the bottom of the stairs with the excerpt of the play, and handed it to the daughter-in-law who was returning to the scene first. The daughter-in-law took it, turned around and handed it to Mama Wang, the head of the inner courtyard. Mama Wang put it on the small tea tray, came into the curtain next to her, and handed it to Feng's personal maid Bixi, who took Feng and Feng. Feng Shi then walked to the upper seat.

Because after the crown princess and the princesses went to celebrate their birthdays, the most honorable women in the hall were none other than the four county princesses who came to celebrate their birthdays. Among them, Concubine Nan'an is old and virtuous, and Mrs. Chen naturally courtesies Concubine Nan'an. Concubine Nan'an couldn't say anything humble, ordered an auspicious drama, and then asked Princess Beijing, Princess Xining County, and then all the ladies to pick up the time and sing it casually.

Third Sister You doesn't like to listen to operas and music, although she sits on the side to entertain guests, she is still full of absent-mindedness.

After three rounds of tea, because of internal urgency, he said goodbye to everyone and went to go outside. Where did she think that when she passed by the verandah, she heard someone behind her calling her. When Third Sister You subconsciously looked back, she saw a handsome little actor dressed as Xiao Dan, greased and smeared with rice, and stood on the spot. Seeing that Third Sister You stopped and turned around, she stepped forward slowly, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be you, I thought I was wrong." ”

As soon as the words came out, the voice became clearer and fuller, and there was even some of the lowness of the juvenile voice change period, which almost frightened Zhen'er Wei'er. Deng Shi exclaimed with a disgraced face: "Why are you a man? ”

When the sentence fell, I was afraid that it would arouse the ideas of others, so I was busy looking around. Zhen'er even stood in front of Third Sister You, pointing at the little drama and scolding: "Where did you come from, an unruly wild boy." You don't have to look, it's also a place where you can wander around as you like. If you disturb your guests, are you dead or alive? ”

Wei'er also scolded Zhen'er: "I don't know what the housekeepers think of the people." How do you call this stinky boy to hang around randomly. ”

When the boy heard this accusation, he didn't care. Still looking at Third Sister You with clear eyes, she asked with a hopeful face, "Do you remember me?" ”

The young man's face was greased and smeared, and the ink was colorful, where could Third Sister You see it. But she has lived for eleven years, and she has only seen a handful of foreign men. Besides, he loves to string operas and sing songs, and there is only one person in the Dream of Red Mansions-

Third Sister You raised her eyebrows and blurted out, "You are Liu Xianglian." ”

When Liu Xianglian heard this, she felt a warm current arise from the bottom of her heart, and she was permeated with comfort all over her body. He scratched his head a little at a loss, and said expectantly: "I saw that it was you on the stage just now, and I didn't dare to admit it." I looked at it for a while, but when I saw that you were like Chen Shan, I dared to confirm it. It's just that because of the large number of people, I don't dare to ask others. I only waited for no one to come out at this time. Please forgive me for being abrupt and reckless. ”

Liu Xianglian said, and looked at Third Sister You with burning eyes, hesitated, and asked a little shyly: "Dare to ask the girl...... Whose family is it? ”
