Chapter 166
The New Year is approaching, and the Songjudo is full of excitement, laughter, and continuity.
The curtain opened, Shen Qingwan walked into the inner room, in addition to Shen Yimeng who was kneeling in the Buddha Hall, Aunt Liu, Aunt Wu, Shen Yijia, Shen Yiqi, Shen Yiyue, Shen Yiqiao were all there, and several people were smiling with crooked eyebrows.
The old lady was also smiling, obviously chatting very happily just now, "Evening, I was about to order someone to call you, it's almost the New Year, everyone makes a few clothes, this is the tailor of the silk shop, everyone has measured the size, and you are missing." ”
Shen Qingwan glanced at Aunt Liu lightly and smiled softly, "Then it's really time for me to come!" ”
The silk shop is under the name of the Prime Minister's House, that is, the shop where the old lady is married, and during the New Year's Festival, or when the seasons change, they will make several sets of new clothes for the people of the Prime Minister's Mansion according to the rules.
After measuring the size, choosing the color and style, the tailor carefully wrote it down, set the completion time, took the reward money, and left with a thousand thanks.
There was nothing to do left and right, and it didn't take long for the old lady to let everyone disperse, and as soon as she came out of Songshoutang, Shen Yijia greeted her.
"Sister, I'm bored learning the rules all day these days, and seeing that the draft is getting closer and closer, my grandmother asked us to buy some new brocade jewelry, ready to use it when the time comes." Shen Yijia said with a smile, her face was still good.
It seems that the events of the past few days have not affected her, and she was so angry that she couldn't tear Shen Qingwan apart, but now she has adjusted it.
"Oh?" Shen Qingwan can't deny that "we", I think it's because Shen Yijia can't stand it and wants to go out to relieve her boredom, so she uses her as a shield!
But there was nothing to do, and Shen Qingwan agreed. I still thought that Aunt Liu's methods were really powerful, and her control of Shen Cheng was even more in place.
The calculation a while ago fell through, and I knew that I had to grasp the man, but now I was all kinds of petty gentleness, and I wanted to grasp the man's heart before the new lady entered the door.
In fact, for this, Shen Qing felt that he should learn more from Aunt Liu in his previous life.
It seems that Shen Cheng has not gone to other aunts in the past few days, and she has been in love with Aunt Liu all day long, and even her remote Wuyuan has smelled the strong vinegar and grievances of the whole house.
Seeing that Shen Qingwan agreed, Shen Yijia's eyes lit up, and she was suddenly as happy as if she was something.
Shen Qing didn't see it in the evening, and led Xun Han out of the house together.
She naturally knew why Shen Yijia was so happy, not because she was together, but because someone paid for the purchase.
Her own mother is the youngest daughter of the Gu family, and she has been raised in the palm of her hand since she was a child, although the marriage is not good, but the dowry is not less.
Because he believed that his daughter's temperament could be kept, his grandfather and grandmother were working hard to subsidize it.
Sure enough, her mother did not disappoint the Gu family again, and kept the dowry to the death, and left it to her smoothly. The physical silver ticket is not counted for the time being, it is Wangjie Wangpu, and there are several of them under Shen Qingwan's name.
Among them, there are Tang Silk Yike and Jinzhutang jewelry shops, which are very famous in Beijing. In the past, when my mother was still there, the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion couldn't take advantage of it at all, but they could get very little.
But in the past three years that Shen Qing has been filial piety, the Xiangfu has taken a great advantage in the two shops, she doesn't know, anyway, she can't even give her aunt anything for nothing.
In her previous life, she admitted it, but in this life, Shen Qingwan didn't want this family to take advantage and didn't have a good face, it was hers, she should get it back, these unfamiliar ones are not worth feeding like this.
Looking at Shen Yijia, who was extremely excited sitting in the carriage, Shen Qingwan was also in a good mood, the corners of his mouth were hooked, and his eyes flashed with cold light.
If it weren't for Shen Yijia coming to her today to go out and talk about clothes and jewelry, she wouldn't be able to remember it for the time being, but now, it's really a good time!
When she arrived at Tang Silk Yike, Shen Yijia couldn't wait to start choosing, look at this and that, they all seemed to like it very much, they couldn't put it down, and they couldn't give it up.
Shen Qingwan was drinking tea next to her, and she didn't participate much, as if she really accompanied Shen Yijia out, and she had no purpose.
"Sister, this year's fantasy brocade has a new color, it's really beautiful, you look at this peach blossom, it's like the real thing. This blue peacock is not bad, the color is very positive, every feather is very careful, and the upper body of the Luo skirt must be very beautiful......" Shen Yijia seemed to have let go of the shackles, chattering, non-stop. Shen Qingwan smiled lightly, tilting her ears slightly, as if she was listening to Shen Yijia's nagging seriously, as if she was looking at an ignorant child.
Phantom brocade is a kind of craft of southern weavers, there are not many people who know it, and even fewer who are proficient in it, so it is divided into several grades. The best ones every year are tributes, and the grades sold outside are relatively low.
But because of this reputation and the gorgeous texture of the cloth itself, it belongs to the upper brocade that the official lady loves.
It's just that now this kind of color is relatively outdated in Shen Qingwan's eyes, and she used to be the queen, and the special fantasy brocade has never been missing, so she is not very interested at this time.
After Shen Yijia finished speaking, Shen Qingwan stood up, walked to Shen Yijia's side, looked at the fabrics carefully, looked at Shen Yijia again, and said with relief: "These horses are very suitable for the second sister, I can't tell if it's good or bad."
Shen Yijia's cheeks lit up, and she looked at Shen Qingwan expectantly: "In this case, sister, it's better to have it!" How many clothes can be made with one horse, and when the time comes, we will wear them together, and we must not envy others to death?"
Finally waiting for this sentence, Shen Qingwan hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "It's good if the second sister likes it."
This is greed and lack of snake swallowing elephants, who will take the same fabric to make a few clothes and wear them slowly? Every time I go out, I change the style and don't change the color, which really attracts attention!
What's more, even if they are sisters, they are the most taboo to collide with their shirts, and they still wear the same to go out and envy others? It's laughing to death!
The only sisters Shen Qingwan has ever seen who wear the same clothes to attend the banquet are twins, and they are the leaders, and the others must be talking about it.
Co-author Shen Yijia doesn't have to pay for it himself, so he is naturally generous.
However, if you are not mistaken, the worst environment is calculated in the ruler, and the price is definitely not low, and she will not lose it at that time.
didn't know Shen Qingwan's psychological thoughts, and didn't understand the smile on the corner of Shen Qingwan's mouth, Shen Yijia heard her answer and immediately became excited.
Every time only at this time, Shen Yijia feels that it is a beautiful thing to have such a sister.
"Okay, wrap these up and send them to the Prime Minister's Mansion!" After Shen Yijia finished speaking, she couldn't wait to pull Shen Qing to the Jinzhutang jewelry shop not far away. Like picking clothes, in the face of those delicate jewelry, Shen Yijia couldn't take his eyes off it when he saw it, and finally bought it all and sent it to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Shen Qingwan kept smiling and watching, and also studied the shopkeeper's crying face.
The shopkeeper of Tang Silk Clothes and Brocade Hall is dripping blood at this time, and his young lady's family is coming to fight the autumn breeze again, this time all the good ones are selected, and there are still a lot of them, this is the rhythm of making no profit in a month!
I used to be able to take it easy, but in the past two years, I have been shameless, dignified, and completely shameless.
Shen Yijia didn't notice the shopkeeper's emotions, he only felt refreshed, and the grievances of the past few days were finally released without a trace.
After getting so many good things, Shen Yijia's attitude towards Shen Qingwan was obviously much better, and even her smile was a little more gorgeous: "Sister, after shopping, I made an appointment with a few friends, let's go first, how about we meet in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion at night?"
Feeling bad? In the past, you had to have concerns about taking things for nothing, if it was too good, the shopkeeper would not agree to it at all, even if it was in front of Shen Qingwan, it would not be pleased.
Today, with Shen Qingwan's approval, the shopkeeper directly took the best, and now it all belongs to her.
Therefore, some people can take it for granted, obviously they don't spend money for nothing, and they think that others hide the best.
"Okay, stay at home all day, I haven't been able to take a good look around the capital......" Shen Qing pushed the boat down the river in the evening, agreed on a time and place with Shen Yijia, and watched her leave happily.
Therefore, meeting friends is the goal, and buying things is incidental, but I didn't expect to gain so much today.
"What about my young lady, you can't do this, this batch of goods is a new signboard from Jinzhutang, and she took it alone, how can she sell it? I originally wanted to make a lot of money, but now I don't want to make a profit, the principal has gone to a month's profit!" The shopkeeper couldn't help it, and said with a sad face.
It's not that this matter hasn't been mentioned to Shen Qingwan, but everyone can still say that it is a favor if everyone knows it before, so it is difficult for Shen Qingwan to say anything. Today's big deal is completely to empty the rhythm of the brocade hall, the shopkeeper is loyal to Gu Yangxi and Shen Qingwan, and he really can't stand it before he complains, and he doesn't want Shen Qingwan to be difficult to do in the bottom of his heart, but there is a limit, isn't it?
Shen Qing took a sip of tea, looked at the shopkeeper gently, and said funny: "Shopkeeper Chen, didn't I say you, this guest is in need, can you still not sell it?" Open the door to do business, and you have to be harmonious and make money. ”
The shopkeeper is going to cry, this opens the door to do business, and the loss is bottomless, where is the wealth?
Shen Qingwan was unhurried, sitting in the box where he looked at the jewelry, looking down at Shen Yijia's back as he walked away, and the corners of his mouth hooked slightly: "By the way, this account should be written down well, our brocade hall Tang Silk Yike, and other shops are about to start a big three-year tent, and we have to clean it up before the draft."
Shopkeeper Chen was stunned, and looked at Shen Qingwan in confusion, feeling a little weird in his heart, but he didn't dare to think about it like that.
What is a big three-year tie tent? Why didn't this rule exist before?
This account, the small one has to be pierced once a month, and the big one is also once a year, how can it wait until three years to come once?
Shen Qingwan said leisurely: "This triennial big account, then what kind of credit has to be settled, it is convenient for you to be with others, and it is not a matter to always drag the arrears, right?" Nowadays, most of the official families have daughters who want to enter the palace draft, and if they delay too much arrears, the reputation is not good. ”
Shopkeeper Chen's eyes widened, as if he understood his young lady's words, this was to let him take the account book to the Prime Minister's Mansion to settle the bill?
If it doesn't end, the reputation before the draft is not good, and now every family is staring, wishing that other people's families had a bit of a scandal, and then they all go up and step on it, and count one less opponent for themselves.
With Mrs. Shen's face-loving character, this account will definitely not be relied upon. Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Chen couldn't help but have a few surprises in his eyes, is his young lady finally impatient to raise those white-eyed wolves? Do you want to recover the previous favors?
Shen Qingwan didn't seem to finish speaking, and said: "After all, it's been a bit long, you and the shopkeeper Liao of Tang Silk and Yike should clean up the old accounts, so as not to miss anything, how can you be the kind of person who defaults on the debts?"
Shopkeeper Chen opened his mouth, a little dumbfounded, why did he feel that his own lady was talking for no reason, check hard, turn over little by little, don't miss a single thing? Isn't it all conscience out of nothing?
"Back then, the Gu family's affairs, the store changed hands several times, it was no longer mine, this price, naturally there is no reason for the price of love, shopkeeper Chen, what do you say?" Shen Qingwan raised her eyes and said with a smile.
When something happened to the Gu family, Gu Yangxi acted quickly, transferring the assets in his hand and selling them to cover people's eyes, in fact, he wanted to leave some property and a way back for Shen Qingwan.
The dowry of the Jingchen Temple, except for the fact that it was moved over little by little on weekdays, was left in large quantities at that time.
The store in his hand has changed its owner in various names, completely avoided raiding the house, and it only recently became under Shen Qingwan's name again.
Although in this process, they are all loyal and reliable people, and their essence has not changed, Shen Qingwan obviously wants to use this to talk about things.
Shopkeeper Chen once felt that he had heard it wrong, but after thinking about it, it was still like that, and it was inevitable that he would be pleasantly surprised, so it was time to turn over the old accounts?
Hurriedly invited the shopkeeper Liao, who was still lamenting, and the shopkeeper Chen couldn't even take care of Shen Qingwan, and the two of them held the account book and muttered.
"The two shopkeepers are finally happy." Xun Han sighed, since her last illness, her own lady has figured it out, and she has been decisive and sharp in dealing with the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"I can finally get back what I have lost for three years, can I be happy?" Shen Qingwan chuckled, and she was much more relaxed.
In the past, she was always giving, she was giving, she was unilaterally maintaining this family relationship, but now she has changed her way and feels relieved.
Shen Qingwan didn't care about how the two of them tossed, and led Xun Han to wander around the street.
A luxurious and exquisite carriage drove from behind, and Shen Qingwan gave way to the side, glanced at the family emblem on the car, and thought thoughtfully.
The carriage of the Marquis Yao family of Zhenguo, I don't know who is on it?
The name of the Marquis of Zhenguo is very loud, not just because it is a hereditary hairpin family, and every generation has a high-ranking official.
This generation also has the first beauty of Ling Qi, the daughter Yao Yihuan.
The Marquis of Zhenguo is from his grandfather's generation, Yao Yihuan's father is the Marquis of Zhenguo, and there is an eldest daughter and a second daughter, she is the youngest.
Shen Qingwan was deeply impressed by this woman, because she was also Duan Yuyan's side concubine.
It stands to reason that with her identity and reputation, beautiful appearance, and amazing talent, it is more than enough to be Duan Yuyan's princess, but there is no way to do it, Yao Yihuan admires Duan Yunqi, as we all know, there is really no evasion at all.
I also know that in the end, Yao Yihuan was married back by Duan Yuyan's calculation, and later she was also the concubine Duan Yuyan held in the palm of her hand, but she was not very happy.
In the past, Shen Qingwan looked at Duan Yuyan's favorite, and then said to himself that he was just acting, just for the support of the Marquis of Zhenguo.
Her eyes flashed, and the corners of Shen Qingwan's mouth hooked up with a smile, and now she looked at this matter with a different mentality and from a different angle, and found that Duan Yuyan should be a little sincere to Yao Yihuan!
However, King Xiang has a dream, and the goddess has no heart, and it is precisely because he can't get it that Duan Yuyan is so diligent.
Just thinking about it, the curtain of the passing carriage was lifted by a bare hand, revealing half of the delicate and beautiful face, although he didn't see it all, Shen Qingwan recognized it, it was Yao Yihuan.
However, the two did not intersect, Yao Yihuan may have arrived there to see it, but he just glanced at it twice and put it down.
Xun Han also saw it, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Although I only saw half of my face, but, what a delicate beauty, I don't know what the rumored Ling Qi No. 1 beauty looks like?"
Shen Qingwan couldn't help but smile, it was rare for Xun Han to sigh so much: "It's unfortunate that there is the family crest of the Marquis of Zhenguo on that carriage, if you don't guess, it is Ling Qi's first beauty!"
"Really?" Xun Han was surprised, but he didn't expect to say a random word to himself.
Shen Qingwan just laughed, she shouldn't know Yao Yihuan at the moment, the Marquis of Zhenguo didn't deal with Duan Junze, and the status was not something that Duan Junze could shake, so no one from the Yao family came to the banquet that day, and he didn't even bother to give superficial compliments.
Xun Han was a little surprised, and recalled that he really didn't see the surprise at a glance just now, and he couldn't help but feel a little regretful: "However, the slave maid thinks that Miss is not bad, it's just that Miss didn't go out before...... Well? Miss, Miss?"
Halfway through speaking, Xun Han noticed that Shen Qingwan's expression was wrong, and he screamed twice but didn't respond, so he turned his head and looked at it. As a result, except for a beggar old man outside the Drunken Immortal Building, he really didn't see anything.
"Miss, what are you looking at?" Xun Han asked puzzled.
Shen Qingwan was in a trance for a while, her lips trembled, and she muttered two words: "Master!"
Xun Han didn't hear clearly, but he didn't bother Shen Qingwan anymore, just stood with her.
Shen Qingwan had mixed memories, thinking that he had forgotten it, but he didn't want to, he just deliberately didn't think about it.
This beggar has been squatting outside the drunken immortal building for many years, and almost everyone who comes and goes knows that there is such a person, and occasionally there will be Daguan nobles passing by, giving a few pieces of silver, and the daily income is not low.
This beggar is also divided into territory, not that other beggars are blind, until they seize or rub a good place, but outside this drunken fairy building, it is like the exclusive place of this old man, and people can't set foot at all.
Someone has tried, but this old man is still like an old monk sitting in meditation, and it seems that he has not seen any robbery, but the people from the drunken fairy building will come out to drive away other beggars.
Zuixianlou is very famous in the capital, with a history of at least 100 years, from the beginning to the beginning of the famous wine, and it is still today.
There are a lot of special liquors in Zuixian Building, almost no one can imitate it, the taste is unique, the aftertaste is endless, many foreign foot merchants, high-class officials and nobles, all like to taste a product here.
Especially every time Zuixianlou produces new wine, it is overcrowded and business is booming.
