Chapter 87: The Conspiracy Emerges (6)
"Steward Pei, get up quickly, you're welcome."
Rouge is a beautiful style of everyone, dignified and polite.
"Rouge, this shop is very close to Taixue, so what it sells are pen, ink, paper, inkstone, history books and classics."
Rong Yin pulled Rouge and introduced her to this as she walked towards the shop.
"Uncle, what's wrong with this shop?"
Rouge's unintentional words made Pei Cijun, who was leading the way in front, feel a little like a man's back.
Rong Yin and Rouge walked to the innermost room of the shop, which should be the room where the shopkeeper usually does his errands.
Rong Yin sat on the Taishi chair in front of the table, and Rouge sat on the stool next to him.
Before Rong Yin could speak, Pei Cijun had already taken the lead in speaking
"Madame, I really didn't know that there was something wrong with the poetry collection this time, and it was all good before, so I didn't check it well this time."
After listening to Pei Cijun's words, Rouge already roughly understood what was going on.
It's nothing more than that this Pei steward didn't check the poetry collection properly, so something went wrong with this batch of poetry collections.
"Steward Pei, do you know that this batch of poetry collections is set by Taixue, and it is intended for the students of Taixue, and now there is not much time left before the spring exam, we are re-stereotyping, and how much time will it take to print."
"The little one should die, the little one is guilty, please forgive the lady."
This delayed the students of Taixue, but it is not a small culpability.
In this Peizhou City, there are Xiongnu outside, and many families are reluctant to send their children to the military camp, so these people can only continue to study and enter Taixue, in order to hope to be admitted to the capital and become a petty official, which is also better than in Peizhou.
Rong Yin didn't know what to say anymore.
"Steward Pei, you are an old man, you have been taking care of this shop and have never made a mistake, why are you so careless this time, what should I do? What do I do to deal with the students of Taixue? ”
"Damn the little one, please forgive the little one."
Where else could Steward Pei think of to save at this time, he could only keep asking Rong Yin for his guilt.
Looking at Pei Cijun who was kneeling, Rong Yin couldn't bear it, after all, he was an old man who had followed the Zhao family for decades.
"Okay, you go out, let me think about what to do, your fault, I'll talk about it later."
"Thank you, madam, thank you, madam."
Pei Cijun took a few steps back and left the room.
Rong Yin only felt that Pei Cijun had found great trouble for herself at this time.
The day of this delivery is coming soon, and what should be delivered to Taixue.
Seeing Rongyin with a sad face, Rouge was also very sensible and brought a cup of tea, relieved.
"Uncle, don't worry, there will definitely be a way."
"What can I do, this is less than five days before the day of delivery, and it will take a month to re-make and print at the earliest, what will I take to Taixue!"
Rouge listened to Zhou Rongyin's words, and he didn't know what to say, so he could only say something else, in order to make Zhou Rongyin not so worried.
"Uncle, how did the poetry collection go wrong?"
"There are a few pages in the middle that are scribbled and mistyped."
"Is it a big impact?"
"The impact is not big, but this is for students, and there is no mistake at all."
For this, Rouge can't help either. In order not to disturb Zhou Rongyin, Rouge decided to go to the street for a walk.
Rong Yin originally wanted to teach Rouge to look at the account books, but there was a problem with yesterday's accounts, and only some minor problems were left to be dealt with.
When I heard it today, this was a small problem, and I almost didn't make Rong Yin angry.
Walking on the street rouge, I feel that the air is very fresh.
It only rained last night, and now it's dripping with a little drizzle.
Rouge didn't hold an umbrella and walked out into the street.
I want to come here not far from Taixue, and Rouge, who was taught alone by the gentleman invited by Zhao Changqing since I was a child, has not been to Taixue.
It's time for Ika to find an umbrella in the store, and Rouge has already gone far away, and she is busy catching up.
"Miss, why don't you wait for me, it's still raining, why didn't you come out without an umbrella?"
Rouge looked at the young but already verbose Ika in front of him, and had a headache.
"Yixiang, you're not very old, why are you so verbose, compared to Aunt Yulan."
"Of course, this is what Aunt Magnolia taught me."
Ika took Rouge's words as a compliment.
It's too early, Rouge is wearing women's clothes, Taixue is still more formal, and this Rouge in women's clothes can't get in.
Anyway, it was still early, and Rouge simply took Ika and began to wander around the streets.
Walk to a stall selling hairpin ornaments.
Rouge saw that a hibiscus hairpin was still good, picked it up, and put it between Ika's buns and made a comparison.
"Ika, this hairpin is a good match for you."
The lady who sold the hairpin, seeing that Rouge wanted to buy it, pointed to the hairpin and said to Rouge.
"Miss, my hairpin is very cheap, you see that the workmanship is still very meticulous, although it is cheap, but it is also very cost-effective, you can't buy it at a loss."
Rouge saw the old lady in front of her, with her body bent and gray hair, looking older than her grandmother.
"Old woman, how do you sell this hairpin?"
"Twenty cents."
"What? Twenty cents, so expensive. ”
Rouge didn't open her mouth yet, but Ika spoke.
"Miss, this hairpin is copper, where do you need to be so expensive, this old lady is looking at you and not knowing how to cheat you."
The old lady of the stall didn't do it anymore, and pointed to Ixiang.
"What's the matter with you, this young lady bought it, although I am copper, but the workmanship is definitely not bad. It's all my own doing, and it's all good. ”
"You did it? Auntie, how old are you? You can still do this. ”
Rouge looked at the old lady who was a little dizzy in front of her, and she didn't believe it.
"Naturally, I did it, don't look at me like this, I've made jewelry all my life, even if I close my eyes, I won't make many mistakes."
Rouge didn't believe the old woman's words, and knew that the old man deliberately said it in order to sell this hairpin, so he didn't say anything more.
"Ika, give money."
Yi Xiang was unwilling, but seeing that Rouge had already left with the hairpin, she reluctantly took out the copper plate from her pocket and gave it to the old lady.
Ika, who caught up with Rouge, didn't understand why Rouge knew that the old lady was a liar, so why did she buy it.
"Ika, here you go. Although the old lady lied to us, this hairpin is very suitable for you, although it is not gold or silver, don't mind. ”
Reaching out, he put the hairpin he was holding on Ika's head.
"Thank you, Miss."
Touching the hairpin on his head, Yixiang smiled innocently.
The rain gradually stopped, and the rouge master and servant who were wandering all the way went to the cloth village again.
The hazy belly has been three and a half months, and it is slightly pregnant.
Rouge wants to make a small belly pocket for the child in the hazy belly, although it is still early, but the hazy female red really does not dare to compliment, ordinary people may be ready in a few days, but for rouge, after the child in the hazy belly is born, it may not be able to wear it.
He was carrying the rouge of the cloth on the cloth village, and was thinking with great interest about what it would be like for the child in the hazy belly to wear the belly pocket he made.
On the other side of the counter, there was a woman who was also carrying the fabric, it was none other than Zhou Jingya.
"Madam, this red material is good, you can make a belly pocket for the little boy in the belly."
"Well, that's good."
Zhou Jingya was pregnant, and the old lady's attitude towards her also changed, and she personally chose an amazing and rich grandmother and sent it to Zhou Jingya.
Zhou Jingya is not stupid, she knows that the old lady is taking a fancy to her belly, if it weren't for the piece of meat in her stomach, the old lady would not be so polite to herself.
This pregnancy, Zhou Jingya also restrained herself, afraid that those concubines and aunts in the backyard would harm herself.
The daily diet is controlled by a personal grandmother.
Zhou Jingya's mind is also simple, who would be so stupid to put medicine in the diet.
Today, Zhou Jingya also put some thought into order to change the old lady's attitude towards herself like before.
Today, I asked the old lady for instructions to come to this cloth village to pick up some good materials for the children in the belly.
Seeing that Zhou Jingya is now much more restrained, not as arrogant and domineering as before, she is also very satisfied.
Zhou Jingya never asked herself for instructions when she went out before, but now that she is pregnant with a child, she knows the rules better than before.
Although Mrs. Chu has so many grandchildren, there is no old man who does not like to have many sons and blessings.
Looking at Zhou Jingya's stomach, the old lady was very happy.
Zhou Jingya on the counter looked critically at piles of fabrics, feeling that this is not good, that is not good.
The shopkeeper knew that the woman in front of him was the lord of Jingya, and seeing that she was so picky, he couldn't say anything.
I could only tell Xiao Er to bring batch after batch of fabrics.
Rouge also recognized that it was Zhou Jingya standing not far away.
Thinking that Zhou Jingya and her princess and aunt are of the same generation, they are also their elders.
With Yi Xiang, he walked over and gave a salute to Zhou Jingya.
"I've seen the county lord."
Zhou Jingya saw that the person in front of her was rouge, and her expression changed slightly.
However, I remembered that Rong Yin came to the door for Rouge's business before, and I was also upset for Rouge at the chrysanthemum banquet.
For rouge, Zhou Jingya didn't want to offend.
"It's rouge, how did you get here, and you came to buy fabric?"
"Yes, my sister is pregnant, I'm going to take a look at the fabric, thinking of making some belly pockets for my little nephew."
"Rouge, why do you still call me the county lord? Why are you so unfamiliar, your aunt and I are cousins, can you call me cousin? ”
Zhou Jingya now knows that Rouge is the heart of the Zhao family, and no one who offends the Zhao family can offend Rouge.
In order to win over the old lady, you have to spend time to please Rouge.
went to a chrysanthemum banquet and won the favor of rouge, which made the old lady look down on her.
Zhou Jingya also learned this and was talking good things to Rouge.
Rouge didn't know what happened to Zhou Jingya, she was so good to herself.
"County Lord, you're here..."
"Why do you call me the county lord again? But if you don't want to call me cousin, forget it, I won't force you, you can call it whatever you want. ”
Zhou Jingya, who is so easy to speak, has never seen Rouge.
Although he didn't communicate too much with Zhou Jingya, Rouge also had some understanding of Zhou Jingya's temperament.
"County Lord, you're here to buy fabrics too?"
"Yes, I'm pregnant again, thinking that now that the month is small, when I can come out and walk around, I will pick up fabrics, so that I can make some belly pockets or something for the child, and the child can wear it when he is born."
Rouge was still a little surprised that Zhou Jingya was pregnant, Zhou Jingya was about the same age as the princess's aunt.
Jingya is pregnant this week, which is really big news.
On the other side, Rong Yin was still anxious, looking at a sample poetry collection on the table, flipping through it, and her eyes were full of Venus again.
Pei Cijun looked at Zhou Rongyin at the door with a sad face, and he didn't dare to go in to disturb, so he waited for Rongyin's dispatch at the door.
