Chapter 53
Seeing that Cui Wanqing said so thoroughly, although her face was smiling, her hands twisting the handkerchief betrayed her heart.
couldn't help laughing, "It's done, this is a good thing, why are you nervous?" If this can be negotiated, you can also earn some pocket money, you tell your grandmother, what do you mean? ”
"Isn't my granddaughter afraid that someone will chew her tongue behind her back? If you are indulged by the young lady who falls into our family because you make a little money, it will be more than worth the loss, and since grandmother you said you can do it, then the granddaughter will rest assured. She was actually afraid that someone would take advantage of this matter to talk about it, so she just took a step first.
Old Mrs. Cui was even more happy to see that she could think about her family's reputation, "What's this?" I think that at the beginning, your grandmother and I pulled my sisters in the family when I was ten years old, and we opened a shop, and the small business was booming! You're just a picture, it's really nothing. ”
"Doesn't my granddaughter just don't understand this? That's why I'm looking for you to get an idea? Good grandmother, will you help your granddaughter with an idea this time? Cui Wanqing pulled Mrs. Cui's arm, so coquettish.
staring at a pair of clear big eyes, looking at his grandmother with admiration and trust, this small appearance, how painful it is, how painful it is.
Cui Wanqing came to beg her grandmother, it can really be said that Mrs. Cui has gone to the heart, from her past behavior, it is not difficult to see that this is a smart and wise and very decisive old feudal monarch.
She handed over the right of housekeeping to her eldest daughter-in-law early, and assisted herself, and she still needed to pay attention to everything in the early years, but now with the passage of time, and because Mrs. Cui is becoming more and more experienced, the old lady can basically let go.
But today, Cui Wanqing's small request inevitably ticked out some things in her memory, and to say something unkind, being an old feudal monarch is also very boring.
found that there was a little thing that could relieve boredom, and Mrs. Cui didn't mind moving her muscles and bones, helping her little granddaughter earn some pocket money, so it was a relief for boredom and it was not bad to pass the time.
Mrs. Cui smiled and held her in her arms, rubbed it for a while, and said with a smile: "Okay, for the sake of your little mouth being so sweet, grandmother will intervene once, grandmother told you, these ten taels of silver are bought out, we are at a loss, we need it."
Mrs. Cui really deserves to be a person who has been doing business since she was a little girl, and when she talks about these tricks of how to fight for her own interests, she is simply a treasure.
Rao is Cui Wanqing is also a master, and she still learned a lot from the old man.
With the intervention of Mrs. Cui, soon, Cui Wanqing had an extra contract in her hand, which was not written as a picture of ten taels of silver to buy out, but to participate in the dry shares, which is a long stream, much more than ten taels of silver.
Cui Wanqing was satisfied with the thin page in her hand and put it into the carved mahogany box on the dresser, "Sister Yulan, put it away, in the future, we may be more relaxed in our hands, just relying on the monthly case, it is really too tight." ”
Yulan smiled and locked the box with the small copper lock in her hand, "This is all your ability, Miss, this is only five paintings a month, don't you think it's less?" ”
Yulan knew, Cui Wanqing drew a lot of beautiful patterns, all locked in the chest of drawers in the bedroom, and only a few henchmen knew, but the key was in Fang's mother's hand.
So don't say it's five painting samples, it's ten, Cui Wanqing also handed it over, so that's why I asked.
Cui Wanqing bent the corners of her mouth and asked, "Sister Yulan, do you know what kind of food is the cheapest?" ”
"Well, this maid still knows something, it's nothing more than cabbage and greens." This question is not difficult, and Magnolia answers it quickly.
Cui Wanqing looked in the mirror, straightened her sideburns, straightened the little delphinium head pearl on her head, and asked very casually: "Then why do you say they are so cheap?" ”
"Because these vegetables are the most, they are easy to feed, and the farmers all grow these" Speaking of this, Yulan suddenly realized and said with a smile: "In the end, you are smart, and scarcity is expensive!" Miss, isn't it all the price of cabbage? ”
Cui Wanqing chuckled, turned around, tilted her head and was about to say something to Yulan, when she heard the sound of the door curtain, but it was Brother Li who came back.
She is already a laugher, and she will be even happier when she looks at it.
"Yo, our brother Li must have made a small fortune today, look at this smile, his eyes are almost gone." Cui Wanqing was in a good mood and couldn't help but ridicule Brother Li.
I saw Brother Li reach out and take out two objects from his arms, one was an ink painting envelope with the fragrance of magnolia flowers, and the other was a palm-sized, bright red embroidered epiphany sachet.
Brother Li smiled and put the envelope in both hands, "Hey, my good young lady, the maid has just opened his eyes today, haven't you seen it, the study of the third son of our family is called a neat one." ”
"Qingyishui's purple star nanmu furniture, the curtains are double-layered, a layer of cloud brocade, a layer of snow yarn, but the white and gray colors used, such an unpopular color, but together they are so clean."
"Alas, even the sisters who are serving inside are all very handsome."
In Brother Li's admiring nagging, Cui Wanqing read the letter with a smile and said with a smile: "If you really like the third brother, hurry up and ming, I will write another letter and send you over to serve him, can it be done?" ”
Brother Li's eyes were like copper bells, and he stomped his feet and said hurriedly: "What did Miss say?" The maid just thinks that the style of the third son is elegant, and people can't appreciate it?! ”
Cui Wanqing chuckled, "Okay, let's play with you, go and call your sister Yingqiao and your great-mother to come over." ”
Brother Li hurriedly responded, walked to the door, she suddenly paused, patted her head, and came back with the sachet in her hand.
She quickly opened the sachet, beat the four red gold into flowers, poured them out, and said as if offering treasures: "Miss, can you keep three and reward one of the servants?" The maid loves this lilac. ”
Cui Wanqing looked at her like this, her heart was soft, and she gently touched her hair, "It's all for you, let your sister Yingqiao help you keep it, you are careless, don't find it when the time comes, come to me and cry again." ”
Brother Li was overjoyed, and trotted out all the way to find Yingqiao.
After a while, the mother and daughter of Mother Zeng and Yingqiao entered the door, and the mother and daughter greeted Cui Wanqing together, and the movements were exactly the same, which made Cui Wanqing laugh.
"Mother Zeng, what is your little son's name? Cui Wanqing is not verbose and goes straight to the point.
Zeng's mother was stunned, "The slave's eldest son is called Zeng Tai, and the younger son is called Zeng Fu." ”
"Yesterday, I heard my mother say that Zeng Fu has not received an errand yet, this morning, I asked Brother Li to go to my third brother's study, fortunately, the third brother appreciated his face, saying that there was a shortage of manpower around him, you asked Zeng Fu to find Cui Dongzi next to the third brother for a while, and go through the formalities first, so that the family can arrange errands." Cui Wanqing's tone was as usual, as if she was talking about something very ordinary.
Zeng's mother was overwhelmed by this sudden good news, or Yingqiao tugged at her sleeve, "Mother, don't you thank Miss Nine soon?" ”
Listening to the pop, Zeng's mother knelt down, not only kneeling herself, but also kneeling with Yingqiao, "Slave thank you Miss Nine for worrying about that stinky boy, slave maid"
Cui Wan motioned to Yulan to help her up in person early in the morning, and she couldn't finish her words of gratitude with this emotion.
Zeng's mother was so excited that Yingqiao was uncomfortable, but fortunately, Zeng's mother was in a hurry to go home soon, so that her youngest son could go to the outer courtyard to find Cui Dongzi.
Seeing her go out, Yingqiao breathed a sigh of relief, turned her face and saw Cui Wanqing and the others, they all looked at her with a smile, and couldn't help but smile and said: "The maid's mother is partial to the younger son, but let the master laugh." ”
As soon as her words fell, she heard the sound of the door curtain, and Fang Rong came in and bowed her knees: "The second lady of Xifu sent an invitation, and the person who sent the post will still be in the small hall, Miss, will you go to see her?" ”
After speaking, both hands presented an invitation, this invitation is gorgeous, purple background with a large dark pattern flower, take a closer look, it should be begonia, and then smell this faint floral fragrance, is it the fragrance of begonia flowers?
"Begonia flowers?" Cui Wanqing couldn't help but be surprised when she received it.
This is not an ordinary invitation, but the annual flower banquet of the Lu Palace.
King Lu is the younger brother of today's saint, deeply favored by the emperor, Princess Lu is noble, and loves to be lively, and loves to do things of the old age, the noble family in the capital, two or three of the ten family affairs have her shadow.
This Hundred Flowers Banquet, to put it bluntly, is a blind date conference.
Because Princess Lu loves the delicacy of begonia flowers, the invitation card is made into a begonia pattern, and the fragrance of begonia flowers is added, which is called begonia flowers.
No matter whose young lady or son, if you can receive this Cambodia, it will be a face-saving thing, and you must be proud of it and show it off.
"My mother really loves me, how dare I neglect my mother who speaks for her? Let's go, let's see. Cui Wanqing closed the invitation card with Miss Cui Jiu written in her hand and put it on the dressing table casually.
She didn't change her clothes, she just took a red gold embossed bracelet in her makeup and put it on, and got up and walked to the small hall.
When she arrived at the small hall, Fang's mother was talking to a mother wearing a light cyan gown, and she saw that both of them were smiling, and she wanted to say it quite appropriately.
"Hello Mother Jia, Mother asked you to come over to spread the word, it's really hard to run all the way like this," Cui Wanqing smiled and greeted the mother who came to pass the word.
Seeing Jia's mother saluting, Cui Wanqing hurriedly helped her up, and ordered by the way: "Yingqiao, hurry up and go to my house and bring some lychees that my grandmother just sent, so that my mother can taste them." ”R1152
