"Sister Yun's brain is very good, and she remembers everything quickly. My lord said that she saw and learned what she saw in a foreign land. If you want to talk about financial resources, you can't really do it. Her ancestors have been scholarly for generations, and there are only a few antiques in the house. Originally, Mr. Chen used it for the elderly, but wasn't it brought by Mr. Chen for fear that his daughter would go out and endure hardships? ”

"Oh? What have you learned? ”

"She is a woman, and what she can learn is someone else's needlework woman. There are also people who make snacks and cold drinks. ”

"What is a cold drink?" The Queen Mother's interest was hooked. Fujin also has a purpose in saying this. Sooner or later, these skills will have to be revealed and used in business, so it is better to give the Queen Mother a little drizzle in advance.

"Cold drinks are the ice fruits we call in the Qing Dynasty. Make it and put it in the ice cellar to cool down. ”

"You're talking about ice cheese, right? We also have it in the Qing Dynasty. ”

"It's different, I heard what the prince said was called ice cream."

"This little daughter-in-law of Lord Rui is really smart, the prince of your house does not often enter the palace, and the palace has only seen it a few times, not only is she good-looking, but also very clever, and she is not panicked at all when she answers the words of the palace, which is very similar to the Chen family, right?"

"It's not fair for you to say that."

"Oh? Tell me, how is it unfair? ”

"You also know that Xue'er, who was born when the concubines were thirty-seven or eighteen years old, had always been raised by Xuan Shizi by her side. Then the concubine doesn't have children yet, right? The concubine was afraid that Sister Yun was young, and when she was in her mother's house, she was an only daughter, how could she take care of the child, so she took Xuan'er over to raise her with her consent. If you want to be smart, you should be like a concubine. "Fu Jin didn't say that she had an awkward relationship with Yun'er at that time, let alone Yun'er's black dragon possession.

The Queen Mother laughed happily: "It's rare for you to eat vinegar once." Yes, it's really like whoever raised you, and Bengong didn't say that you were stupid, hehehe...... By the way, the sachet I talked about last time ......"

Fujin raised his forehead: "Look at the memory of the concubine, it has been done, the concubine brought it to you, this is made by Sister Yun herself." ”

"Oh, this one is more delicate than the last one, with a big pearl added."

"The concubine declares: This is not a pearl or an East pearl, it is also a plastic product, and the processing equipment over there is good, and the things made are particularly beautiful."

"Why didn't Lord Rui buy the device you said?"

"My prince's financial resources are too limited, and other people's processing equipment is large, and a machine costs millions of taels of silver."

"It's so expensive, I really can't afford it."

"Not only can't I afford it, but I can't take it, a machine is tens of thousands of catties, all of which are iron, and the support is eighty, what ship can fit it? Who can lift it? The ship was also sunk. ”

"Hehehe, that's interesting. Yes, millions of taels of silver, too expensive, but it also makes money. The Queen Mother is very regretful, and of course she also believes what Fu Jin said.

"There must be something wrong with you ordering your concubines to enter the palace, right?"

"No, no, just invite you to chat, this palace loves to listen to you the most, unlike some Fujin who still hold a posture when they speak, humming and chirping, or they can't hear anything like a mosquito." After saying that, I also laughed.

Fu Jin didn't believe in any chat, but it was not good to ask any more. Just drank tea and waited for the Queen Mother to speak.

"Xiu'er, isn't the price of the goods in the Nalan department store a little lower than the part you sell at home?" The Queen Mother finally couldn't hold it back.

"You think it's low? We refer to the price of the exotic land, and then set it according to the actual situation of the Qing Dynasty. My lord said: "It is the early years of the Qing Dynasty, the war in the south has not completely subsided, and the lives of the common people are also very poor. For example, those relatively simple headdresses are basically made of very cheap materials, and ordinary people also have weddings and funerals. ’”

"Lord Rui is really thinking about the right way, but if a rich person goes there to buy goods, and the price is low, he feels that the quality will not be very good, isn't he letting go of a God of Wealth?"

"This won't. Which level of appreciation is there for people of which social class. He doesn't look down on low-grade goods, as well as mid-range and high-end goods. ”

"Oh? And the mid-range, and high-end? Tell me? ”

"It's the plastic products that the concubine told you are low-grade, taking the headdress as an example, the raw materials and workmanship of plastic products are very cheap, even in the low-end goods, the mid-range is the alloy jewelry that the prince gave you, and the high-end is the phoenix hairpin for you, which is titanium."

"Lord Rui is very successful, what does this palace mean is that you can raise the price of those things that look very beautiful? The people who bought the goods didn't know what kind of material it was, and it wasn't that Rui Wang Ye said that grade was which grade? ”

"You also know that my prince has been a monk for ten years, which is the age stage from ignorance to sensibility, and the influence of the rules and precepts in the temple on him is almost a lifetime, and it is difficult to change. And the concubines felt that he was right, and they all said that there was no business and no treachery, and my prince wanted to be a businessman who was undeceived and fair traded. Although the people of the Qing Dynasty do not know what the reserve price of our goods is, there is still a conscience, and we follow the creed that we want to make money but we can't ask for a sky-high price. ”

Fu Jin's words could not be refuted by the Queen Mother, let alone the words of handing over the goods to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. had to divert the topic and said: "As soon as Concubine E heard about it, she came up and borrowed it to do it, but unfortunately the sachet in the hand of the palace was already burnt at that time." ”

"Looks like E-Niangniang's needles are not bad, right?"

"Not only is it good, her needlework is quite good, and she often does something for the palace, such as the shoulders, the handkerchief, and the seat cushion, but she is quite good at it. By the way, by the way, this palace pondered yesterday whether to ask your house to send a few girls and grandmothers who are good at needlework to come into the palace to teach the emperor's ladies to do some work to supply the Nalan Department Store? ”

"No, the emperor's concubines are all golden and precious people, how can they do that?"

"What's not to do? Send them something to do, save yourself from intrigue. Don't be embarrassed,

Teach them something that is not too complicated and not too tired, occupy their time, and use their minds in the right place. The palace paid for the material to buy it in the market, and the weaving bureau could also supply some. What do you think? ”

"The Queen Mother's idea is naturally excellent, that is, will you have any opinions?"

"The palace also goes to school with your house, and the people who do the work will give them as much as they should. Go back and let the Ministry of Internal Affairs also set up a shop like the Nalan Department Store, specializing in selling needles and concubines in the palace, how about you just use dim sum to help teach some skills? ”

"You are serious, how can the concubine refuse? You ask the concubine to go back to the house and see which grandmother to send. ”

"Excellent, it depends on whether the people from the Internal Affairs Office will run it. Don't worry, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will not compete with your government for territory, he will do his, and you will do yours. ”

"Thank you for the care of the Queen Mother, then the concubine will retire."

"Okay, Su Mo'er, you go and send Tong Fujin."

After Fujin's car returned home, the prince came back to rest. Seeing that Fu Jin was lying on the bed very tired, he came over and touched her head, so that she did not have a fever.

"What's wrong with you, Xiu'er, where is it uncomfortable, ask Doctor Zhu to take a look?"

"The concubine is not sick, but she feels tired, and she was carried into the palace twice by the queen mother in a few days, and she was tempted in many ways, which is really annoying."

"Shhhh Be careful when you speak. Don't take it to heart, we don't have any personal evils that are afraid of where she comes from? She's tempting us. If I'm not mistaken, she thinks that our things are sold cheaply, and she is suspected of buying people's hearts. ”

"You guessed it, and ah, the last time she entered the palace, she was suspicious of the hot diamonds on the sachets we sold, thinking it was diamonds."

"It is said that she is wise, how can she deal with this matter and be brainless? Let's have nothing to do, sew the diamond diamond to the sachet? How do you answer? ”

The answer was useless, the concubine asked the queen mother to order someone to burn a red soldering iron, and the hot diamond on the sachet was burned, and the hot diamond was burned, and the sachet was also on fire. Fools know that diamond is hard and resistant to high temperatures, and she can only choose to believe the facts. Today, I started a moth again, and asked someone from our house to go into the palace to teach the emperor's concubines skills, saying that it would save them from intrigue. If the concubine doesn't agree, it means that we have a ghost in our hearts. You said that we would pay for their mother and son to make money, but they still didn't believe us, and tried in every possible way, and the concubine was really worried that when she thought that we were wrong again, she would come to a big raid. ”

"Don't worry too much, you can't take the prince's title lightly, unless you have the right to usurp the throne and openly rebel. The goods should be used as soon as possible, and I will send a few more pieces of cloth to Young Master Ruiqian with Liangzi, Nalan and Mr. Chen, and sell a little less. Then find a way to sell goods through a few more channels. It's useless to be angry. ”

"The concubine also knows that it's useless to be angry, but she feels that the queen mother seems to be getting more and more suspicious, no matter how you look at it, we are all the ones who want his son's dragon chair."

"Don't we have that in mind? Lu Yao knows that the horsepower has been popular for a long time, and what we have to do is to hurry up and do business and show her some achievements. Don't be angry, okay? You're putting pressure on me. ”

"Lord, what are you polite to your concubines? I don't know what Sister Yun is busy with. ”

"It's not about preparing merchandise for Nalan Department Store every day, and then teaching the people around her a little bit of skill. By the way, teach Mama Xi ......"

"The concubine will choose someone immediately."

The Empress Dowager sent the soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army and the people of the Internal Affairs Office to monitor the business of the Rui Wangfu was finally known by the emperor, and he was angry. It was not the prince who complained to the emperor, it was Zhao Tieyan, the emperor's imperial guard and the most personal one. His daughter-in-law Su Wenjuan is good at embroidery, and the sister-in-law next door bought embroidery thread from Nalan Department Store and came back to show it to her. Of course, she didn't know that the department store was related to Rui Wangye, so she went to the Nalan department store accompanied by Tie Yan's brother-in-law Zhang Qing. When Tie Yan was resting, he begged him to accompany him to the Nalan Department Store again. Tie Yan's identity is not good to appear in the market, so he simply dressed up and wore plain clothes to accompany his daughter-in-law. He wore a big straw hat on his head, and the brim of the hat was lowered low. He is a kung fu master among the imperial guards in the Forbidden City, and he does not appear as a husband and wife when he visits the store with Wen Juan, but asks his righteous brother Qing'er to follow his wife, and he keeps a distance from his wife. This is done for the safety of the lady, because the Ouchi guards are easy to offend people, and it is best not to let anyone know who their wives and children are, so as not to take their wives and children hostage. Here he found several familiar faces, but fortunately, because Tie Yan was dressed up and wearing a big straw hat, no one noticed him at all.

As soon as the emperor heard Tie Yan say that the Nalan Department Store had a large internal guard and people from the Internal Affairs Office, he knew that his mother sent him. The people of the Internal Affairs Office can listen to her dispatch, but the imperial guards of Ouchi should not listen to the dispatch of the Queen Mother, which would be Yan zhòng interfering in the government affairs. The Qing Dynasty clearly stipulated that concubines were not allowed to interfere in court affairs, but this rule was broken by the Empress Dowager and later Cixi. Today's Queen Mother has intervened in court politics since the time of Huang Taiji, and after Emperor Shunzhi ascended the throne, she was the sole ruler of the court, and she also intervened in court politics during the Kangxi period. Because she has this ability, her ability is not inferior to Wu Zetian. However, her son Emperor Shunzhi was not right with his mother, Yan Zòng, even if she did something very right, Shunzhi was very disgusted. I endured it for several days, but finally I couldn't hold back. When I came to Cining Palace to greet my mother after the next dynasty, I broke out: "Huang Eniang, what do you mean by sending someone to Nalan Department Store?" ”

"Who said that? Lord Rui? ”

"Erchen hopes that you will not harm the innocent, the imperial brother has never been to the palace since returning from a foreign land, and Erchen has never been to his house, so you say, yes, or no?"

"What if there is? E-Niang is to let people learn their business methods, and are ready to let the people of the Internal Affairs Office also follow the example of Rui Wangfu to open a shop pù, selling the needlework made by the emperor's women, saving them from intrigue, and sending a little silver to the treasury, right? ”

Shunzhi almost laughed angrily: "You're not fighting with the imperial brother, are you?" What can those women of mine do? One by one, you can't put it up, make needles to sell? Joke! It's understandable that you're in command of the Interior Office, but what authority do you have to send the Imperial Guards? ”

"Don't say it's so ugly, okay? What kind of dispatch is a few people standing guard at the gate of Eniang's dormitory, let them see if anyone has smashed the field in Lord Rui's business. ”

"There are 180 personal soldiers and more than 30 guards in the Imperial Brother's Mansion, so you can't show the Imperial Brother? What are you worried about the royal brother, have you come out of the results? Are there any signs of rebellion? The people in their house are even counted as women, and they make money for our mother and son! People even pay their own money, buy back a little goods, and process them into goods that can be sold, do you look at people like this if they are discovered? ”

"E-Niang said, there is no surveillance, just take a look."

"I've really convinced you. Isn't it good to save money? "The emperor just didn't say what he was doing with his hand stretched out so long, if it wasn't for Eniang, he would have said it a long time ago.

After the emperor left, the queen mother muttered to Su Moer, who told the emperor about it. Basically, the Lord Rui was excluded, the emperor was right, Lord Rui didn't enter the palace at all these days, and the emperor didn't go to the Rui Palace. But who else could it be besides Lord Rui? The Queen Mother didn't think about Zhao Tieyan at all, so the only possible thing was Concubine E. Concubine E can't leave the palace, it doesn't mean that she won't invite people and send people out. The women in the palace are very energetic, and the fathers and brothers in the family are all high-ranking officials, so there is no trick? It is said that Concubine E's father, E Shuo, is an honest man and a nerd. The Queen Mother was most disgusted by the scholars, feeling that they were full of stratagems, especially the Han scholars.

This time, the little white flower lay down the gun.
