Chapter 591: The Commander's Wife (7)
The Commander's face sank so much that it was almost dripping: "Let me ask you, did you ask Xiu'er for help when your dowry shop opened?" I heard that you once sold cloth to Xiu'er and their house? It was the emperor who left me to ask when he was in the next court. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½β
Mrs. Commander: "Sir, don't you know that the emperor gave me a holy decree to let me participate in the business of Lord Rui's mansion?" What did the emperor say? β
"What can the emperor say? Just ask if your fabric was taken from the Rui King's Mansion. β
"Naturally, do I know how to spin and weave myself? Sir, my participation in business is justified, what are you afraid of? Why is it that the older you get, the younger you get? β
"I know that the emperor gave you a holy decree, because he was afraid that you would have no heaven and no land, and you would take care of everything, didn't your dowry shop buy groceries in the first place? Why are you still selling cloth? Do you know how many people buy lasagna from me? β
"Poof!" The Commander's Lady laughed: "Then you should write down the lasagna that the person who asked you asked for it, and how many feet of material you want to buy." β
"Stop! I'll tell you about business, don't fight me haha. You just run your dowry shop, why are you still mixed with the business of the Rui Wangfu, do you know what the emperor said? β
"What did the emperor say?"
"The emperor said, Lord Tong, you can do it, the Tong juice shop you opened, counting the money in baskets. This is not enough, and the cloth is sold to the family members of some of the ministers, and the family members of several ministers show others, and more people come to me for questioning. How do I know where your lady got the fabric? Go back and ask Aya's mother. If it's the fabric that goes out of the Rui Palace, I'd better ask some. These people, do you use me as a pimp? You listened to what the emperor said, didn't you treat you as a third aunt and six wives? I couldn't say I didn't know, so I had to say yes. It's not that you don't know that court officials are not allowed to do business, do you? I heard you also opened a glass shop? The emperor told me that his windows had just been inlaid with glass, and that the prince of Rui had sent the chief steward to inlay them. You have what the emperor just has, and your hands and eyes are up to the sky. β
"Sir, don't scare me, okay? It's not that serious, is it? Among those princes and ministers who can directly hand over the book to the emperor in the court, which family member does not have a few dowry shops or Zhuangzi? Why can't I do it? That juice shop is a franchise store of Ruiwangfu, a store with a legitimate name, and as for the fabric, the concubine's best friend saw the clothes worn by the concubine. It is made of cloth embroidered for concubines. My best friend really likes it, and asks where she bought it, so that the concubine must help. The concubine didn't say that she came from King Rui's mansion, how could the emperor know? β
"You women know how to wear jewelry, and you stink. Do you know? A few days ago, the Queen Mother targeted Ruiwangfu and said that their goods were sold cheaply. β
"If it's cheap, it's going to be higher."
"You've got a string in your head. Let me tell you quietly, the old lady of the Queen Mother has taken care of the Ruiwang Mansion, and the problem is that she wants to take the business of the Ruiwang Mansion and let the Internal Affairs Office run it. You said that you are mixing at this time, aren't you uncomfortable? β
"Master, are you saying that the Queen Mother wants to move the goods from the Rui Wangfu to the trading shop of the Internal Affairs Office? Why do I sound like I'm going to rob? The goods of the people are the antiques of Mr. Chen's father-in-law, who is the prince of Qianli Rui, and she said that if the Internal Affairs Office operates, there will be no one to do with the Rui Wangfu? And the silk was taken away for nothing? β
"The emperor quarreled with the Queen Mother about this, I mean, you just stop these days, don't jump up and down. Do you know? Their work was very difficult to do, the three shops were smashed by the ruffians, and the shopkeeper of the cloth village was also arrested and put in the prison of the criminal department. If it weren't for the high status of the prince, and the business he did was to get silver for the emperor, it would be difficult for this cousin of Fang Fujin to come back. Why don't you think about Xiu'er? Is she as popular as she used to be? What is the situation of Fang Fujin now? What's going on with her? β
"She also said that the prince is still the same as ever to her."
"You don't have a brain, do you? How could she refuse? You are her own aunt, her mother can refuse, but she is embarrassed to refuse you! She said that the prince treated her as always, did you see it? Who outside doesn't say that the side Fujin of Ruiwangfu is a god, and even the queen mother recognized her daughter and was named Princess Ruiyun, or Princess Gulun! Why? That's a cash cow! Now that the limelight is in full swing, but you are bothering Xiu'er about your affairs, does it count if she says it? β
"Naturally, it's counting, otherwise why would the shop be booming? Xiu'er said, my shop does not belong to the industry under the name of the prince, whether it is the shrimp and fly shop or the franchise store, pay a one-year franchise fee first, and then they provide technology, set the price, and don't care if you do a good job. Isn't that running well? Are you not happy that my shop is making money? Is it possible to socialize with the families of those dignitaries and nobles with two paws empty? β
"Who let you associate with the families of those dignitaries?"
"It's all women, it's better for everyone to talk and chat together than to die, right?"
"Are you still reasonable? Don't you know the truth that trouble comes from the mouth? Do you know who will be unlucky in the future? If you're unlucky, you'll have to follow suit. If you lack a heart, these days you drill everywhere and treat everyone as a confidant, do you know what people think? Throughout the ages, it is not the only one who has been wrongfully implicated in beheading and having his home raided! β
"Don't say it's so ugly, it's still drilling everywhere. I don't just want to live a more active life......"
"You are still reasonable, I think you have become three aunts and six women. Do you know of any of your unintentional words that have been taken advantage of? You still have a girl in the palace who is being blown away, and if you involve her, her end will be a white silk! β
"Master, master, don't scare me, I just want to live a better life, where do I think so much, tomorrow I will go to the embroidery house and tell her, quit."
"You're already famous, ma'am! It's hard to go back. β
"So what to do? I heard that there are three families whose emperor has inscribed a royal plaque, among which there is a Jade Dragon Cloth Village, and the shopkeeper is the cousin of Fang Fujin. β
"What do you mean? Join in the fun, right? Side Fujin's relatives, do you think you shouldn't be? Fang Fujin is the mother of the prince! β
"But Xiu'er said that the son of the world has passed under her name."
"Are you stupid? The succession is also raised by others, and it is natural for the son to inherit the throne in the future, and it is still a matter of course for the Chen family, and Xiu'er is neck and neck. The Lord Commander was angry, but he did not reprimand his wife too much, who was the original spouse and the husband and wife who shared his weal and woe.
"You just say what to do, right? Don't take away your black gauze hat because of these few pieces of fabric. The emperor didn't lose his temper with you, did he? β
"I didn't lose my temper, I mean you will discuss with me in advance what you will do in the future and then make a decision, don't do whatever you want."
"Didn't I want to get some extra money to spend? You also know that you have to move money for everything, and you can't get things done without money. There are many places to spend money in our house. β
"I know with money, and I can't bet on my head, right? You want to live a good life and let others live a good life. Don't you know why our family in Heilongjiang didn't go to Beijing? He agreed to let the bandits kidnap and kill and not enter Beijing, because he was afraid that if something happened to us one day, he would be hanged and beheaded, and he would be killed by the bandits, and it would be the whole family to destroy the nine clans! People don't come. If you are in a high position, you have to know a advance and retreat, do you know? β
"Yes, sir, I see."
"How many dowry shops do you have?"
"Three. The pharmacy used to sell juices, the spice shop turned into a glass shop, and a grocery store sold herbal teas. β
"Huh? There's one more! I've never heard of any herbal tea, and it won't poison people, right? β
"No matter how old a woman is, she cherishes her face. Drinking herbal tea often can change a woman's something, such as rose tea and jasmine tea, without a little toxicity, this is the skill brought by Mr. Ling who came with Rui Wangye and them. β
"You're too flamboyant, be more restrained, our house is not waiting for your shop to make money to buy rice for the pot, you can do whatever you want, don't do anything else."
"Yes, I listen to the master."
The Commander's Lady really has the potential to be a diplomat, and she has some prestige among the Lady of the Command. is outgoing, loves to talk and laugh, and there are many noble ladies of the same age who are very compatible with her. For the coercion and persuasion of the commander, it doesn't seem to have attracted enough attention, and he still interacts with a few girlfriends.
The Commander's personality is a little introverted.,Never like to be public.,Very safe.γVery low-key.γ I was very worried about Mrs.'s extensive relationship. It's not that he's too cautious, it's really like he said, if you don't know how to advance or retreat, it's easy to be connected.
The commander's wife and Fu Jin asking for lottery beads is just an excuse, and the main purpose is to send silver tickets to Fu Jin to express their gratitude. Fujin is not good to shirk too much, anyway, the silver will not really be used as private money, and it is also used for business.
But the colored beads that the commander's wife asked for really played a role in lubricating her future interactions, and a little gadget for the girls to talk to her girlfriends was also a reason to speak. The colored beads given by Yun'er are mixed together, so that it gives people a colorful feeling, in fact, it is really the same as "mixed sugar", there are all kinds of things, not to mention that the manufacturer gave them for free, even if they spend money to buy things that are not relatively low-grade. It's just that the exotic processing equipment is advanced, and the black oil can make such beautiful, brilliant colored beads. Rare things are expensive, and what the Qing Dynasty doesn't have is different, needless to say anything else, it is the pocket of colored beads that Yun'er gave to Concubine Tong, and the palace maids and other concubines around Concubine Tong are coveted enough. Even the concubine who was born as a noble concubine also coaxed and asked the emperor to come to the house to ask for colored beads.
The Commander has three concubines, and the third aunt has a daughter named Jinqi, who is fourteen years old this year. Smart and clever, with a sweet little mouth. is very good at stammering with his mother, so he is very liked by the commander's wife. often takes her in and out of high-ranking families and gets acquainted with some daughters of official families. Of course, she is also a daughter, and her father's official position is also very high. The commander of the Protector Army is a military rank of the second rank, which is equivalent to a governor. The commander's wife knew that the girl of the Han Army Banner could not enter the palace draft, and she didn't want this concubine to be drafted. I want to find her a motivated child from a serious family to be her husband. It is true that his daughter is the emperor's concubine, but she can't get the emperor's favor, she is lonely in the deep palace, and she is almost in the cold palace at the age of twenty. If it weren't for the birth of a prince and the prince being loved by the queen mother, there would be no hope. How did she know that the inconspicuous-looking third prince born to her daughter would be the future Emperor Kangxi?
I left a part of the colored beads for Jinqi, and a little for several aunts, and the rest were kept as lubricants for communication. Novelty, small gadgets are something that almost every girl loves. The commander's wife is very good at settling accounts, and it is not good to visit people empty-handed, and it is not appropriate to give a big ceremony. These colored beads are the best, and they can best cater to the psychology of little girls. And she also has a teenage son who is not married, and she can also choose a future daughter-in-law in her relationship with your lady. The identity of the commander's wife is not low, and she is also a person in the ranks of noble ladies.
After the two handfuls of colored beads were counted in detail by the Commander's wife, the answer was more than 1,100. Remove one-third for one-third of one's own family, and the rest have more than five hundred, fifty for one girl, and ten girls are enough. Size matching, glamorous matching. I was adored by a group of twelve or thirteen-year-old girls.
When the commander's wife gave the colored beads, she never greeded for her own merits, and clearly told people that it was given by the Fujin of the Ruiwang Mansion, and it was given to Fujin by the side Fujin.
The minister's wife is different from the fortune of the prince, the prince of the county, and the princes. The women of the royal family often enter the palace to greet the Queen Mother, and they are the ones who have passed through the big scenes. But the commander's wife is much stronger than other ministers' wives, she enters the palace once a month to see her daughter, and she also has an intersection with Fujin on the side of Fujin. Therefore, the wives of the ministers have a high opinion of Mrs. Tong. Especially she is the aunt of Ruiwangfu Fujin, and now Ruiwangfu is already a hot mansion, and you can know the news of Ruiwangfu through the words of the commander's wife. All in all, Commander Tong's wife is now also a popular figure. On the body of the Commander's Lady, the ladies saw alloy jewelry, delicate handbags, crystal glass fan pendants, black gauze tights, lace and other decorations from distant lands. I can't be envious! In particular, the delicate alloy jewelry could not be more delicate, and the radiant string of crystal glass beads hanging down on the step by step dazzled the eyes of the noble ladies. They really want to have such jewelry and wear it, and they are embarrassed to say it. But beauty is the common hobby of every noble lady, at least to make yourself noble and elegant, and look younger. The husband of a high-ranking official may marry a teenage girl into the mansion at any time, and he will be older than the old man. Finally, a girlfriend who couldn't hold back spoke: "The commander's wife is the aunt of Fujin in the Rui Wangfu, or the mother-in-law of the current emperor, but she is very expensive in her dress." Can you talk to Tong Fujin from Ruiwangfu and sell us a piece of jewelry like yours, silver is not a problem, as long as it looks good and exquisite. β
"I don't know if there is such jewelry in Ruiwangfu, it's okay to help you ask."
"Then there's Mrs. Lao Tong. The marriage of a son and the marriage of a daughter are all big scenes, and it is really unreasonable to not have one or two decent pieces of jewelry on the head. (To be continued.) )
