Chapter 459 on the importance of learning a good craft
The capital is different from Fengle Town, where thieves are hot in summer and frozen to death in winter. September like this is in full swing. At noon, it's even more difficult to get out.
In addition, there are a lot of mosquitoes, and if you get a little closer to the foothills, you will definitely see countless kinds of strange-shaped insects. It's not a coincidence, the Hou Mansion just has a habit of raising green plants, plus it is backed by the mountains, and there is even a mountain garden, which is a good place for beauty if it is normal, but in these months, the problem of mosquito bites has plagued all the people who are slightly closer to the foothills.
Naturally, these relatives of the Marquis of Guangning are all dignitaries. The houses where I live are basically close to the mountains and rivers, and the previous site selection is also for the good environment. Nowadays, I can't sleep well because of mosquitoes, and basically everyone has a little fatigue on their faces.
At this time, Zhao Xiaoxi happened to be thinking about mosquito repellent water and mosquito coils, and it just so happened that the big guys had such troubles, and after she was full of wine and food, she talked about these two things to the big guys.
It's just that they are not familiar with the toilet water and mosquito coils, and they are stunned when they hear it. But it can also be estimated that this must be a good thing, after all, I hope that the things that come out of the cards have never been bad.
"What kind of toilet water, where can I buy it?" I don't know which official lady is speaking, Zhao Xiaoxi doesn't know the big guy very well, but he is still polite, looking at this lady's kind face, he likes it a little more in his heart.
"We used to live in Fengle Town, Suiyang County, and there was a Hope brand supermarket in the town. Half of these things are sold in supermarkets. But now I can't open a supermarket in the capital, I can't find a suitable land, and I can't keep up with my energy. So these things can't be sold in the capital for the time being, we are all relatives, so don't see each other, these things, Ming'er and I will send them to the big guy's house. ”
can really be a person, the so-called right medicine, nothing more than this.
Sure enough, those people listened to how happy they were, and the joy on their faces quickly burst out because of the volatilization of the wine, and the contempt for Zhao Xiaoxi at the beginning was also swept away at this time, and they were affectionate and affectionate, closer than the sisters of the concubine.
Compared with Zhao Xiaoxi's enthusiasm, Xiao Jingrui's piece is much more deserted. Since most of the children of these families are officials in the court, most of what they say is officialdom, Xiao Jingrui is a person in the business field, and he is only in charge of buying and selling, in short, there is no common language.
Fortunately, Xiao Jingrui has always been very calm, in the face of such a situation, he did not panic at all, did not mess up at all, looked at him, there was no superfluous reaction, Zhao Xiaoxi was a little relieved. Speaking of which, sometimes the comparison between these men is quite strong, so will Xiao Jingrui feel a little lost because these people are all officials in the court? Such a powerful person, doing business behind him, is he tyrannical?
"Doesn't the prince want to serve the imperial court?" I don't know who said it.
After realizing it, it took Zhao Xiaoxi a long time before he came to his senses, and he dared to say this to Xiao Jingrui, and he was extremely melancholy for a while.
"I don't want to." Xiao Jingrui said it very directly and shook his head.
Those people were still ready to say what they were going to say, but how did they know that Xiao Jingrui's words were not shocking and endless, and what he said made it impossible for people to take it.
Song Zizhe on the side took a sip of wine and laughed sadly: "My eldest brother is wholeheartedly devoted to his own lady, so he naturally doesn't want to think about the purple ribbon gold medal." Speaking of which, it was a few of us who didn't find a Ruyi daughter-in-law, so we ate the meals of the imperial court. ”
"I heard that the young lady is very good at cooking?" A Gongzi happily toasted Xiao Jingrui with a glass of wine, and his tone was frank. Listening to this tone, he should approve of Zhao Xiaoxi very much.
A man listened, nodded, and had a small expression of "honor": "Yes, my lady is talented and self-taught." The dishes in the restaurant were all figured out by my wife herself. ”
"My lady will only buy some bead jewelry, and the rest, nothing." Mr. B also sighed, and his envy for Xiao Jingrui in his words could not be concealed.
In these years, which rich wife doesn't have ten fingers that don't touch the spring water? Work? Inexistent. Buying some jewelry or something is already a basic operation, and it is too common to not be able to make a few dollars for the family.
In the past, these sons and brothers didn't think that there was anything to find such a mother-in-law, but now with Zhao Xiaoxi as a reference figure, they feel a little unhappy in their hearts.
After they are all nobles, why is the difference so big? It's true that you are respected as an official in the court, but it's true that you don't have a lot of money! In the end, it is not as happy as Xiao Jingrui, with such a capable mother-in-law, he does not have to be pressured by officialdom in all aspects, he also has silver, decency, and a happy life.
Seeing the big guy's envious expression, Song Zizhe didn't quite understand, her original intention was to make Xiao Jingrui lose face, how could she change so well? Could it be that marrying a country lady is also a thing worth rejoicing? It's weird.
"The wives of all the brothers are young ladies of your family, why do you do these rough jobs by yourself?" Song Zizhe had something to say, and he laughed narrowly and shamelessly: "It's not like my sister-in-law, who was born in a peasant family, these things have been handled since childhood, and I am used to it, so I can make such good things." ”
"Not bad." Zhao Xiaoxi took the teacup and sat next to Xiao Jingrui: "I am indeed the queen of the farming family, but the emperor attaches great importance to farming." Many of the ladies in the palace are also from the peasant family, and I feel very honored. ”
This is said well, and the big guys listened to it and smiled at Zhao Xiaoxi appreciatively. Especially Song Guangfu, he has always been worried about whether this daughter-in-law will lose dignity to their Hou Mansion, and when I look at it today, it is clear that she is raising her eyebrows for them, and she has face.
It was Song Zizhe, who was splashed out by himself this time and drenched a handful of dirty water again. At the next dinner, this person's sense of existence was extremely weak, and the big guys basically didn't look at him, and they all surrounded Zhao Xiaoxi and Xiao Jingrui to ask questions, which were basically business matters.
By the time the meal was over, the big guys went back to their respective homes, and it was already midnight. Zhao Xiaoxi's back hurt, and when he returned to his own yard, he leaned over, didn't say a word, finished washing, and went directly to the bed to fall asleep.
Looking at her sleeping face, Xiao Jingrui smiled helplessly, lit the wood incense, and put a new piece of ice on the table not far from the bed.
It's really exhausting to think that this girl has been busy all day. Xiao Jingrui pinched her legs and feet, and then she fell asleep with peace of mind.
Early the next morning, Zhao Xiaoxi opened the Taobao interface. What is a little different from her imagination is that those toilet water and mosquito coils have become very simple on the packaging. However, the flower water has no sprinkler head, and Zhao Xiaoxi always feels that he has no soul.
As for mosquito coils, there are all kinds of smells. Zhao Xiaoxi didn't think about the smell of bells and whistles anymore, and only bought the classic version. The packaging box is also very suitable for gifts, a carved square wooden box.
In view of the fact that the mosquitoes in the capital have become fine, they are particularly powerful. In order to avoid the occurrence of malaria, Zhao Xiaoxi also took into account the maids and mothers-in-law and family members in the Hou Mansion, and when it was time to pay, he couldn't help but be frightened.
Why is it as high as fifty or two miles? It's just 300 bottles of toilet water and 300 boxes of mosquito coils. I don't know if the packaging box is worth or what, Zhao Xiaoxi has relatives, and feels that he has been pitted, so he hurriedly ran to find the plug-in t: "What's the matter?" Flower water and mosquito coils are so expensive these days, aren't they? ”
"Dear host, you have reached the level of v4, and the goods delivered by the system to you have been actively added or engraved with the trademark of your wish brand." Xiao T let out an embarrassed but polite smile on the other end: "Labor costs and processing costs all need money." The host is now a shopping mall tycoon, so you should be able to understand it, right? ”
Understand? Understand the ghost! But speaking of which, it seems that many times I have purchased goods without sticking my own trademark. Zhao Xiaoxi was so busy that he forgot about this small detail.
Just as he was about to scare Xiao T out of anger, Zhao Xiaoxi saw that the system jumped out of a big ingot. It was only said that she completed an invisible task of "forming an alliance with relatives and friends", and was rewarded with a hundred gold coins.
When did she form an alliance with her relatives and friends? Could it be that the system sent the wrong reward? Zhao Xiaoxi didn't care about it, and took it directly.
Don't be in vain!
At this time, Zhao Xiaoxi also understood that it was useless to tell Xiao T about the price, and there was no way, so he had to admit it and pay for the flower water and mosquito coils.
There were 50 people who came to the meeting yesterday, basically three people in a family, or a family of four. Zhao Xiaoxi was very generous, each family gave four bottles of toilet water and four boxes of mosquito coils, and sent someone to send them out one by one early in the morning.
It is more cost-effective to sell this thing in the future, otherwise she Zhao Xiaoxi will really become a philanthropist and will not have to make money.
For the rest, Zhao Xiaoxi first gave Song Guangfu their house, and even Song Zizhe gave it. The girl's mother-in-law and the family members are basically five people in a room, and Zhao Xiaoxi also gave them some.
Thinking of Granny Bai, Lin Zhenger, Gu Xiangting, Gu Xiangxin and Guan Lingyue, Zhao Xiaoxi also wrapped them one by one and delivered them to the door in person.
She has been too busy these days, Gu Xiangxin went to the Hou Mansion to find someone, and all of them were empty. Seeing Zhao Xiaoxi coming at this time, he was very happy, pestering her to speak.
"Sister Xiaoxi, you won't come to play with me in the Hou Mansion now." Gu Xiangxin pouted, as if she was a delicate and pretty little girl: "Now that Sister Xiaoxi is the young lady of the Hou Mansion, why are she still so busy?" Wouldn't it be enough if there was something to be done to the people under him? ”
How can it be so simple? Zhao Xiaoxi was a little embarrassed and touched his nose: "I'll be idle after a while, but ...... When did you go to the Hou Mansion? ”
