Chapter 212: Favor by imitation
On this day, Zhan Xinlan took a carriage to the Ningguo Marquis Mansion, stood outside the mansion and waited for a long time before Gu Peiqing walked out of the mansion.
"Just now, the people in the house said that you came to find this side concubine, and this side concubine was still wondering, thinking that the little girl on the door had passed the wrong word, but I didn't expect it to be really Miss Zhan Er." Gu Peiqing said with a smile.
"Peiqing, according to reason, you should call me the second sister. I know that you and Yun Xin have a big knot in their hearts, and I am here this time in the hope that you can resolve the knots. Zhan Xinlan said lightly.
"Dissolve the knot? Who have you been instructed to do? I haven't seen you come to resolve it for a long time, and you have only come today? Or is it ...... Although Miss Zhan Er is famous in Kyoto, there is no woman who has not been out of the cabinet who is willing to have fellowship with you, so you came to the door? ”
Hearing this, Zhan Xinlan was slightly stunned, this Gu Peiqing's words happened to be in her heart. However, she couldn't admit it, otherwise she would definitely be ridiculed by Gu Peiqing.
"Gu Peiqing, Miss Ben has a good intention, your biological mother has been kicked out of the Gu family, and you, a concubine, how can you beat the princess of Beiliang? If you are good friends with Yun Xin, you will naturally get her protection, don't you know if you look at my sister Zhan Xinyue? Zhan Xinlan said coldly.
Hearing Zhan Xinlan say this, Gu Peiqing couldn't help but beat a drum in her heart, indeed, her biological mother couldn't take care of herself now, and Feng Fu naturally wouldn't bother about a concubine who didn't have much strength.
"What do you want me to do?" Gu Peiqing said in a deep voice.
Since she can sit firmly in the position of the side concubine, she knows very well that there is no free lunch in this world, and Zhan Xinlan has no dealings with herself, and it is absolutely impossible to be good to herself for no reason.
"If you are the support of your mother's family, I want a partner in this Kyoto, that's all." Zhan Xinlan said lightly.
To be honest, she doesn't need to rely on Gu Peiqing's help for anything in this Kyoto, because, as long as she has something, before she can do it, King Jing's side has already done everything.
"This is not difficult, it's just that Gu Yunxin rarely reviews the mansion now, and stays in the Rui Wang's Mansion all day long, and the Rui Wang's Mansion doesn't welcome me, even if I go, I can't get in." Gu Peiqing pouted.
"Don't worry about this, it will be the birthday of the old lady of the Gu family in a few days, and Yun Xin will definitely go back at that time, when the time comes, you can talk to Yun Xin well, and take your time with other things."
"Okay, I got it." Gu Pei said lightly.
Seeing that Gu Peiqing had already agreed, Zhan Xinlan was about to turn around and leave, "If the second miss doesn't dislike it, go to my yard to have a cup of tea before leaving, the prince bought me a new tea yesterday." After finishing speaking, Gu Peiqing stepped forward and pulled Zhan Xinlan into the Marquis of Ningguo's mansion.
followed Gu Peiqing through the garden corridor and came to the courtyard where Gu Peiqing lived, the courtyard environment where Gu Peiqing lived was not bad, "My courtyard is okay, right?" If it was before, my yard would be even more beautiful than it is now. ”
"Oh? Is it? Zhan Xinlan wondered.
"Yes, since that Princess Linghua married the prince, I have gradually fallen out of favor." Gu Peiqing sighed.
"No matter how Princess Linghua is, she is also from Beiliang, maybe she is still a spy sent by Emperor Beiliang, how can you fall out of favor." Zhan Xinlan wondered.
"Then Princess Linghua has the means, and the few maids who married around her are also very means. Since the prince came back, he has been in Linghua's room for most of the month, and in my room for only two days, and there are other concubines. Gu Peiqing burst into tears as she spoke.
Zhan Xinlan looked at Gu Peiqing's appearance and had the heart to persuade a few words, but she didn't know where to start, "Since you had the means to snatch Xiao Ziming from Yun Xin's hands, couldn't you still deal with Ling Hua?" ”
"This Ling Hua and the Chonghua that my brother married, the two of them don't know what means they used, they are both so fascinated, especially this Ling Hua, she has recently begun to learn to dress like Princess Rui, which makes the prince pay special attention to her." Gu Peiqing said indignantly.
As soon as she thought of Ling Hua learning Gu Yunxin's appearance, she hated it so much. Regardless of whether Ling Hua was favored by Xiao Ziming because of imitating Gu Yunxin, or for some other reason, she was very angry in her heart.
"Where does Xiao Ziming value her, it's just that Xiao Ziming's heart can't let go of Yun Xin, if you can say that Yun Xin can help you say a few words in front of Xiao Ziming, then Xiao Ziming may be as good to you as before." Zhan Xinlan said lightly.
The two chatted for an unknown amount of time, and looked up at the outside again, it was already noon, Zhan Xinlan left the Ningguo Marquis Mansion, and there was no better place to go, and happened to pass by Yuqiong Tower, so she walked in.
The food in this Yuqionglou is very good, especially a few fried dishes, which are loved by the guests at every table.
"Miss, aren't we going back to dinner today?" Xiao Cui wondered.
"Well, let's eat here today, after eating, let's go shopping on the street, and in a few days it will be the birthday of the old lady of the Gu family, let's go and choose a gift, so as not to lose the number of rudeness."
"Okay, I don't know what Miss wants to send at that time? Mrs. Gu doesn't lack anything, then Mrs. Gu is Miss Yongyi's Mansion, what good things haven't you seen? Xiao Cui frowned.
Although, after she followed Zhan Xinlan to move out, the monthly silver was twice as much as before, and the others were much better than before. But after all, this Zhan Xinlan has no money, although there are two sons of the Zhan family, it is not enough to buy those high-end gifts.
"I don't know, the Queen Mother's birthday before, or a gift from my grandfather and grandmother, after a while, let's go to Rong Bao Zhai on the street to see, what is good to buy and send." Zhan Xinlan said lightly.
Zhan Xinlan knows very well that ordinary people hold birthday banquets, and the gifts are all collected by the subordinates, and then registered and registered
It will not be brought to the guests. Therefore, Zhan Xinlan is not worried about being ridiculed when she sees that the gift is not good.
After the master and servant were full of food and drink, they went to Rong Bao Zhai together, the gifts of Rong Bao Zhai are naturally good things, Zhan Xinlan just walked into the store, the owner greeted him with a smile.
"Yo, this young lady, what do you want to buy?"
"It's the birthday of the elders in the family in a few days, and I want to choose a birthday gift." Zhan Xinlan said lightly.
"Oh, that's right, Miss is really filial, I don't know who this gift from Miss is going to give to someone in the family? This is not the same for men as it is for women. The shopkeeper said with a smile.
"To my grandmother at home, boss, you ask this, but do you have anything to say?" Zhan Xinlan said with a puzzled expression.
"It's for the old lady, Miss, let's see how this is, this is the dark cloud leopard's coat, give it to the old lady, and it's the most suitable to wear it when the weather is cold."
Zhan Xinlan looked at the clothes in the shopkeeper's hand, and gently touched the fur on it with her hand, it was really a good thing. But this kind of thing, maybe someone else will send it, in case it is the same one, I am afraid it will be inappropriate.
"Anything else? I'd like to see again. ”
"Okay, then Miss look at this white jade longevity character hairpin, the old lady must be dignified and noble." The shopkeeper continued to laugh.
The shopkeeper has a lotus tongue, and the Zhan Xinlan is very excited, and this white jade longevity character is also very suitable.
"That's it." Zhan Xinlan said lightly.
"Okay, will Miss take it now, or will I send someone to send you to the house later?"
"I'll send it to the house in a while, I'll go around again." Zhan Xinlan said lightly.
"Okay, miss, you tell me the address of the house, and I'll send someone to deliver it in a while, and collect the cash by the way." The shopkeeper said with a smile.
This kind of thing is common in some of the larger towns, where the store delivers the goods to the house and collects the cash, or the customer pays the money first and waits for the store to deliver it to the home. In this way, customers do not have to worry about accidentally breaking their items, and at the same time, they can show that their status is valuable.
"No. 5 Chengfang Street, Exhibition House." Zhan Xinlan said lightly.
When the shopkeeper heard this, he said with a smile: "It turned out to be Miss Zhanjia, you said it earlier, this birthday gift for the old lady of the Gu family has already been prepared for you, you see, this translucent thorn wood chrysanthemum light Luo Ling fan, and a large lotus leaf-style pastel peony pattern porcelain bottle, later, I will send someone to send it to you." ”
What the? Translucent thorn wood chrysanthemum light Luo Ling fan and peony pattern porcelain bottle? She didn't buy these things, could it be that she went to worship the king again?
Just thinking about it, the shopkeeper said with a smile: "Miss don't worry, early this morning, Mr. Zhan came to choose the gift, and the money has been paid." ”
Hearing this, Zhan Xinlan let out a long breath, fortunately, these things were bought by her brother, and she wanted them
Otherwise, I don't know what others will think of me.
"Miss, I didn't expect our son-in-law to be really careful, and he has already prepared a birthday gift for Mrs. Gu, so do we still need this hairpin?" Xiao Cui said with a smile.
"Yes, the boss's hairpin will be sent to the exhibition house together in a while." Zhan Xinlan smiled lightly.
"Okay, miss, don't worry, you can rest assured that I am doing things in Rong Bao Zhai." The shopkeeper said with a smile.
After choosing the gift, Zhan Xinlan walked out of Rong Bao Zhai......
At that time, Gu Yunxin was also ready to go out to choose a gift for her grandmother, and this Rong Bao Zhai was naturally her first choice.
When the boss of Rong Bao Zhai saw Gu Yunxin coming, he couldn't hide the smile on his face at all, he had just sent away a fairy who entered the treasure, and this ushered in another God of Wealth.
"Princess Rui, are you here to choose a birthday gift for the old lady?"
"Yes, I said boss, you are well-informed enough to know the purpose of this princess's trip." Gu Yunxin raised his eyebrows slightly and said.
"Oh, it's Mrs. Gu's birthday in a few days, and there are a lot of people who come to my store to pick up gifts, and this is also due to Mrs. Gu's blessing." The shopkeeper said with a smile.
This business is like this, you will say whatever you see when you see someone, and if you see someone whose identity is not so valuable, you will naturally not be so flattering.
"Boss, go and show me the dark cloud leopard big cloud, and bring the white jade inlaid with the blessing and longevity of the auspicious celebration." Gu Yunxin pointed to the two items placed on the cabinet.
The shopkeeper was even more happy when he saw Gu Yunxin seeing these two items, after all, these two gifts were the best items in his store......
