Chapter 590: The Commander's Wife (6)
As soon as Gu Ruyi left, Mrs. Tong came. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info The prince was busy in the garden, and Fujin received his aunt. After greeting for a while, Mrs. Tong began to get to the point.
Mrs. Tong often comes to the house, but not to chat, but to come. Mrs. Tong couldn't wait to tell Fujin about her dowry shop: "Xiu'er, auntie really has to thank you." It's only been a long time before the new food shop is booming. There is no one in Xicheng who doesn't know Tong's juice, and the one that sells it is good, and the copper coins are packed in baskets. and the glass shop and herbal tea shop, all of which are starting to flourish. Especially in the glass shop, the guys are simply too busy, so they let the customers order first, pay the deposit and number them in order, and the dressing mirrors are lined up until next spring. I don't know if the full-length mirror in the house is enough, in case it ......"
"The order of the dressing mirror has to be slowed down, don't run out of goods by then, you have received a deposit again, and you will be in breach of contract at that time."
"Yes, yes, the mirror will slow down, but what about the other glass?"
"I have to ask the prince about this."
"Xiu'er, did you say it in the house?"
"Auntie, where do you think of it, glass is a heavy, delicate thing, and it has to be placed where it can't be touched. I take care of eating, drinking, and sleeping in the house every day, and I don't care about that at all, and I don't know how much I sell or how much I have left. ”
"Yes, you are the head of the house, and you have a lot to worry about. You ask. If you don't have glass, you sell it instead. ”
"It's okay, let's do it well, don't shrink, don't draw strips, as long as the reputation is good, the business will be good."
"Don't worry, it won't shrink or smoke, don't say anything else, it won't be able to disgrace you, right? This is a hundred taels of silver, and you shall keep it. ”
"Auntie, you're angry when you embroider like this. Haven't you already paid the franchise fee? ”
"The franchise fee is only a few dollars, and the juice shop uses baskets to make money every day, how can my aunt forget you, this is my aunt for you personally."
"No, no, no, I won't accept such silver."
"I'm an aunt, I'm your elder, even if it's the New Year's money for you." Mrs. Tong said with a strained face.
"Is it the New Year? I haven't heard that people in their forties still have to pay for the New Year, so don't see Xiu'er. ”
"Auntie, I have something to ask you for. The silver ticket is collected, even if it is your private money, the aunt gives you the body. Tuck the quilt for you, don't talk about this, my aunt has something else to ask you. ”
"You say you're okay? Just say. ”
"It's not a big deal, isn't Aya'er coming to your house by herself to ask the Queen Mother for some yarn pants? When she went back, Fang Fujin gave her a small bag of colored beads. The aunt can enter the palace once a month to see her, and she gives the aunt a little bit of colored beads. After the aunt returned home, she quickly hid, who knew that the girl who gave Jinqi saw it, and knelt down and kowtowed to the aunt, and the aunt liked Jinqi very much, so she gave her dozens, but good, the three aunts and a daughter-in-law took a fancy to the aunt......"
"Xiu'er understands, you mean you still want a little bit, right? Say. ”
"Don't price, what my aunt means is that if you have it in your hand, you can give it to your aunt, and if you don't have it, forget it. I heard Aya'er say that the beads were given by Fang Fujin, didn't you also say that all the goods brought back by the prince were exchanged for the antiques of Fang Fujin's father? The thing is from someone else's side, can you have the final say? Besides, how valuable are those beads? Can you give it to people? Aya'er is the emperor's woman, Fang Fujin is embarrassed not to give it, who is the aunt? ”
"Where do you get these concerns? Xiu'er will tell you first that those beads are not pearls, nor are they Dongzhu, not as valuable as you think, but they are things that we don't have in the Qing Dynasty, and they are also novelties from afar. Xiu'er will help you ask for Fujin on the side, and she will definitely give it. I don't know how much embroidery I give, don't worry. ”
"You're really on such a good relationship, huh? Although it's not a pearl, it's such a beautiful thing, make a sachet and decorate it with two or three, and immediately add three points of cloud. But what do you say? After all, it's a matter of begging for people. ”
"Don't worry, come in."
The man hurriedly came in and gave a blessing: "Fu Jin, please command." ”
"You go to the backyard and tell Master Yun that I will ask her for colored beads, just for a pocket as big as Concubine E, and you will say that I am asking for my aunt."
"Yes, I'll go right away."
The mantle went to the backyard happily, and the fish were doing needlework on the side of the case in the hall, and when she saw the mane, she asked with a sense of ridicule: "Mrs. Mang Ge is so happy?" ”
"It's Fujin who asked me to come to Chaoyun Master to ask for some colored beads."
Shui'er said: "The master went home to deliver milk, is Sister Fu'er waiting for a while or is she in a hurry?" ”
"It's the Commander's Lady who wants to ask Master Yun for colored beads." That means in a hurry.
As he was talking, Yun'er came back. As soon as she came up, she heard what Commander Tong said about asking for colored beads for Commander Tong's wife, so she said to Commander's wife: "You wait, I'll go in and get it for you." ”
After entering the room, Yun'er opened a box on the ground beside him and said to Shui'er, "Find me two small pockets." ”
Shui'er hurriedly went to Yun'er's room to find it, and brought two purses of different sizes when he was young.
Yun'er took two handfuls from the pocket containing the mixed colored beads and put them in a larger purse. I held a handful in a smaller purse. This is the "running fee" for the mustache. In the environment of the palace, don't pick and choose the small family spirit of searching, and of course, you can't sprinkle a lot of silver to pretend to be arrogant.
I bought a lot of colored beads, and the first batch of genuine plastic beads alone cost 1.4 million yuan, as well as 280 boxes of giveaways "mixed beads". Giving people to monochrome ones is really not as good-looking as those "miscellaneous", what kind of beads are there, what colors are available, very bright, and you can completely send away characters who can't be dismissed. It may also be that these mixed masters are just giving away and handing over to others. Doing business is also a little more lively, and giving away is not a free gift, and it can be regarded as a favor to win the favor of individual people.
Yun'er handed over the two colored bead pockets, one large and one small, to Fu'er: "Nephew and daughter-in-law, this big pocket is for the commander's wife, and the small pocket is for you as a reward." ”
The mantle was so happy that he thanked again and again: "Thank you Master Yun for the reward, I didn't expect there to be a share of the mane, then I will go back." "The beard is slowly adapting to her identity and is beginning to be called a slave.
"Okay, you go slowly. We're not far away. ”
"No, no, wow, I'm so happy, it's colorful, hahaha......" The man looked at his pocket while walking, and felt that something was wrong as he walked, and when he looked up, he saw that he was almost at the door of the house, and said to himself: "The one who carried the water turned back and crossed the well." "Hurry back.
Back at Yiran Tower, Yu'er hurriedly hid his share first, then went into the inner room and handed the beads to Fu Jin. Mrs. Tong's eyes immediately lit up: "Oh! Give so much? This side Fujin in your house is really a big deal. It's hard to see how you usually get along with her so well. I won't show up with these beads, and it will be a big trouble if I show them to my aunts. It's also very useful to give Jinqi some other aunts. ”
"You're about to become an old kid, and you still like it."
"Look, there are all kinds of beads here. Big, small, round, flat, four-edged, what kind of place did they go to, and they produced these novel things? ”
"The prince has said some things over there, and it seems that he is richer than us. When people ask you, don't say it's a pearl. This is not as valuable as a pearl. It's called plastic beads. ”
"Vegetarian what? Strange name. But we don't have it in the Qing Dynasty, things are scarce and expensive, and what others don't have is a good thing. Don't worry, my aunt won't be swindling. ”
"Look at what you said, Xiu'er still doesn't know your character? Bun, you go to the kitchen......"
"Don't price, don't price, there are still a lot of things in the house, and my aunt will go home."
"What's the busy? Let's go back after lunch. ”
"No, no, there are really a lot of things to take care of in the house, so my aunt will go back. Please tell the prince about the franchise store, and come to the house another day to thank you. ”
"Thank you, it's no one else."
"Xiu'er, tell your aunt, how is the prince's feelings for you?"
"It's good, it's really good. He rested here for five days at Xiu'er, and also rested for five days at Sister Yun's, and he was very punctual. ”
"Then why didn't he want another woman? Isn't that ......?"
Fu Jin covered his mouth and smiled: "Auntie, you are really, he has a problem in that regard, can there be four children in the house?" ”
"Yes, it's my aunt's nonsense, don't take it to heart. That time when I entered the palace to see Aya'er, the queen mother also left her aunt to use Chinese food, and asked in the middle that since Prince Rui could marry Fang Fujin, why didn't he want other women? ”
"And how did you answer?"
"My aunt said that the prince has been a monk for more than ten years, and he is still in the temple since he was a child, and he must be very impressed by the affairs of the Buddhist family, just like the gourd scoop, when it is tender, pinch it, there will be a deep seal, and then this seal will not disappear. The longer the gourd, the harder it becomes, and when it gets old, it won't leave a mark no matter how you pinch it, and it's slippery. ”
Fu Jin laughed happily, and Mrs. Tong laughed too.
"My aunt didn't want to study when she was young, and she was sleepy when she read a book. I don't know if it's inappropriate to say that. ”
"What you said is very good, what you said is that when you were young, you had an imprint on everything, and the prince was a monk since he was a child. His imprint is the pure rules and precepts of those Buddhist sects, which are very difficult to change. How did the Queen Mother behave? ”
"The queen mother said that what the aunt said is right, although Lord Rui is still vulgar, maybe he still thinks of himself as a monk in his heart."
After the aunt left, Fu Jin wondered why the queen mother asked the aunt about the prince. Is it because my aunt is straightforward? Can you say something that she thinks is more true? But I can't tell my aunt to be careful of the queen mother, and you can't talk nonsense. In that case, it was as if I was afraid of something bad that people would say. Forget it, don't think about that. If the prince was a farmer now, he would plant a few acres of land in his hands to support his wife and children. It's much better than worrying about it every day. Being a prince and a blessing is decent, some people kowtow and some people ask for peace, and there are a lot of troubles.
She got the colored beads and brought them back when she went home to cook. She and Bun Er lived the closest place, and after lunch, she took the beads to Bun'er's house. Bun Er was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and when she saw Bun'er, she took her to the guest room. The bun also gave birth to a child, and it was a pair of twin boys. Just a hundred days later, he was picked up by his mother-in-law's family, saying that Mongolian boys should become eagles and fly on horseback, and they could not be raised in the palace. Women in that era did not even have custody of their own children. So she is very idle now, working on errands every day, coming back to cook, and do needlework.
I also asked my husband how the living conditions of the child's grandmother's house were. Will having two more children cause difficulties in the family's life? He said, "If you have ten more sons, they will be able to afford it, so don't worry." The child is better in front of the old man than in front of the two of us. ”
"Is your family very rich?"
"It's not very rich, but it's not difficult."
"We've been married for several years, and we haven't been back. Don't you miss home? ”
"After a long time, it will fade, and I may go back to see it in the future."
"Sister Wei'er, what are you taking? So happy? ”
"Fujin's aunt, Mrs. Tong, is here, and she wants to ask for colored beads from Master Yun, don't you know this? Master Yun gave me an extra small pocket, I didn't dare to show up, for fear that Fu Jin would think that I took it in Mrs. Tong's pocket, so who did I become? The two of us are blessed and share hardships, and we will give you half of it. ”
"Wow, Sister Beard, you're so interesting."
"Stinky sycophants. I won't count them, I'll pour them out, draw a mark in the middle, you pick, which side you want. ”
"I want the one on the left!"
"Okay, I'm going to take the one on the right. Find something to wrap yourself up in, and I'll go home and sleep." ”
Not to mention, the mantle is very open, and he is from a big family.
When the Commander's wife returned home, she shut herself up in her room, counted the number of beads very carefully, and then divided them into several parts, one for Jinqi, one for each of the two aunts, and five hundred for the rest, and fifty for one, for a total of ten, so that she could send the ten daughters of her best friends...... However, what if there is still a best friend's daughter who wants to do it towards him? Mrs. Tong, a social activist, struggled to figure out a way. was pondering whether to spend money on some side Fujin beads next time, and her husband Tong Commander pushed the door in. Mrs. Tong was startled, and subconsciously covered the beads with a handkerchief.
"Master, you didn't even give a notice when you entered the house, which is terrifying. What's wrong with you, sir, who are you angry with in the yamen? Look at this old face, it is longer than the donkey's face. What's going on? ”
Lord Tong Ling didn't answer his wife's words at all, but took off his robe, threw it on the clothes rack, poured a cup of tea with a snort, and drank it all.
Seeing her husband's expression, the commander's wife thought that her husband was angry with his subordinates in the yamen, so she persuaded him: "You can't get angry because of things in the yamen, as the saying goes, 'the yamen is beaten with iron......
Before he finished speaking, he saw the Lord Commander put the teacup on the table, and then began to reprimand the lady:
"I said, are you going back the more you live?"
"What's wrong, what's wrong? So the evil fire in your stomach is directed at me? Why did I mess with you? You said! "The Commander-in-Chief's wife was not at all afraid of her husband, and she rose to the wind.
If you want to talk about her background, Mrs. Commander's father is a good product, and she herself is a daughter-in-law. Is it better to marry a second-class official or to marry a low-grade official? Besides, the commander's wife married into the door and gave birth to two sons, a daughter and three sons-in-law to the commander. The only drawback is that he doesn't know much and thinks more simply. However, among the wives of first- and second-class high-ranking officials, the popularity is still quite good, and there are four or five hardcore girlfriends alone. The Commander is usually good to his wife. (To be continued.) )
