Chapter 317 Shopping
Although the "north-south currency" takes the high-end route, the largest consumer group is ordinary people, which was set by Qiao Yixi before, and the two are not contradictory.
Those who can afford to consume high-end goods are a minority after all, and when they buy back a high-end commodity, the subsequent consumption time must be separated for a long time.
Although ordinary people can't buy expensive goods, but the base is large, if you buy one today, he will buy one tomorrow, and it will be a lot of money.
As a traverser, Qiao Lixi has never underestimated the consumption power of the people.
There are a lot of people in the shop, although most of them are hanging out, but these are potential customers, even if they don't buy, they also increase their popularity.
"Stockpiled a lot of goods this time?" Gu Jinzhen asked.
Qiao Yixi nodded, "I used to go to business to prepare for the New Year, but before the end of the year, the goods were almost sold out, and I would close for a few days for a holiday." ”
Although making money is very important, Qiao Yixi will not give up enjoying life in order to make money. Anyway, there is not much inventory, and when the goods are almost cleared, we will give everyone a holiday, and everyone will have a good New Year.
As for the new goods, according to the speed of the dart bureau, she can rush back before the Chinese New Year's Eve, and when the time comes, she will set up a few tables and treat everyone well.
This time, it was not her cousins who went to buy the goods, of course, with the first experience, the latter was handed over to the steward, and let him arrange manpower, and during the contract period, there was basically nothing to worry about.
Of course, her cousins are restless and eager to open up new markets, but these are years later.
Although the business of the bone-setting pharmacy across the wall is not as good as the "north-south currency", the reputation is there, and it soon gained a firm foothold in the capital.
At the beginning, because of the singleness of the patients in the bone-setting pharmacy, many peers were not optimistic about it, but who knew that the bone-setting pharmacy was so professional, and the price was fair.
This also made many peers begin to reflect on whether to change their business model.
But the existing model is handed down from the ancestors, and the peers are all operating like this, if they specialize in a certain item, not to mention others, it is enough for them to choose which one, in fact, there are no professionals.
Coming out of the bone-setting medicine shop, the two walked down the street towards the downtown area.
Since that time when she took Qiao Yixi shopping, Gu Jinzhen now likes to press the road, which is one of the few opportunities for the two to be alone.
Especially, now that Qiao Lixi is his rightful daughter-in-law, Gu Jinzhen can't wait for the entire capital to see them in and out of pairs, so he doesn't shy away from holding Qiao Lixi's hand and walking slowly.
The inconspicuous stalls on both sides of the street, Gu Jinzhen also had to take Qiao Lixi to go shopping, but he did not hesitate to buy anything that Qiao Lixi took a look at.
Soon, the rice balls and rice cakes were not only full of things in their hands, but also full of large and small bags on their bodies.
Qiao Yixi glanced back, feeling a little sorry for these two loyal subordinates.
When it was close to lunch, Gu Jinzhen brought Qiao Lixi into the teahouse.
Looking up at the signboard above her head, Qiao Yixi smiled slightly.
Xiao Er immediately led the two of them into the upstairs box, Gu Jinzhen ordered tea and pastries, and after settling Qiao Yixi, he said, "I'll go next door for a while, and we'll go to the 'Meal World' for lunch." ”
Qiao Lixi's hand as she picked up the teacup paused slightly, and nodded to Gu Jinzhen.
This is the teahouse opened by Gu Jinzhen and Zhong Chenglin, which is not only a place for him to collect news, but also a place for him to meet privately.
compartments.
Gu Jinzhen sat in his position and looked at the person opposite for a long time.
Duanmu Jing is still that inconspicuous appearance, but the extravagance between gestures can't be hidden.
"A friend with General Gu, General Gu is newly married, and this congratulatory gift also invites General Gu to smile."
Gu Jinzhen lowered his eyes and glanced at the things on the table, "Your Highness is polite." ”
If it's an ordinary gift, it's fine, but this is a wedding gift, and Gu Jinzhen will not refuse.
Therefore, when Wei Nanshui on the side also took out the congratulatory gift, Gu Jinzhen waved his hand and accepted it all.
Seeing this, Duanmu Jing said: "It has always been rumored that General Gu has a deep love for Mrs. Gu, I didn't believe it before, but now that I see it, I understand what is the tenderness of an iron man." ”
Gu Jinzhen threw an eye knife over.
Duanmu Jing's face was light and light, as if he was saying the most ordinary words.
Wei Nanshui, who had been silent over there, actually opened his mouth to echo, "When General Gu asked to marry Mrs. Gu, some people in the market saw that General Gu was different from Mrs. Gu, and no one thought that a man who killed people on the battlefield without blinking an eye would actually have such a ...... The tender side. ”
"People have seven emotions and six desires, as long as they are human, there will always be weaknesses, and Jojo is my weakness."
Gu Jinzhen's sudden words made Duanmu Jing and Wei Nanshui stunned.
The two originally wanted to take this opportunity to ridicule a few words, but they didn't expect Gu Jinzhen to actually say that Qiao Lixi was his weakness?
"Aren't you afraid that people outside will use Jojo to threaten you? You also said that Jojo is your weakness, no matter how strong you are, there are times when you can't defend against it. Wei Nanshui's voice was full of anger.
Duanmu Jing looked at him deeply.
Gu Jinzhen snorted mockingly, "When I decided to be with Qiao Qiao, I knew that the road ahead was not easy, my identity, and our endless fight with the old emperor were all troubles and dangers. With Jojo, I won't let go, so I can only be strong, strong enough to be invulnerable, strong enough to be fearless. ”
Wei Nanshui snorted lightly, looking at Gu Jinzhen's gaze unkindly.
"Why is there infighting?" Duanmujing spoke as a peacemaker, "We are people in the same boat, we should be unanimous with the outside world, you don't have to fight in the nest." ”
Wei Nanshui stared at Gu Jinzhen for a long time, "If Qiao Qiao is hurt a little bit because of your relationship, I will want you to be punished at all costs!" ”
Gu Jinzhen glanced at Wei Nanshui lightly, as if what he said had nothing to do with him.
The corners of Duanmu Jing's mouth twitched, and for the first time, he seriously reflected on whether it was wrong to cooperate with these two people.
The atmosphere suddenly fell silent, and after a short silence, Duanmu Jing took the lead in speaking, "The second and fourth children have been moving frequently recently. During this time, the father assigned some official duties to the second child, including the affairs of spring seeding, which should have been in charge of the third child, were handed over to the second child, which meant suppressing the third child. ”
"It's just a warning to Duanmu Qing." Gu Jinzhen said gloatingly.
The old emperor's preference for Duanmuqing is not just talking, it is precisely because he attaches great importance to this son that he is so strict.
"Also, what my father cares about most is this son, although he has not been established as the crown prince, but everyone knows that the position must be the third child. As the prince, the father spent a lot of effort to cultivate the third child. ”
Duanmu Jing's eyes crossed with a rich mockery.
At the beginning, under the pressure of the ministers and the rules that had to be followed, his father reluctantly made him the crown prince.
Although he is the eldest son, but the position in his father's heart, I am afraid that he is not even comparable to the fourth child who is outside all the year round, where can he be cultivated?
He had nothing to do except go to court every day, and he had nothing to do after going down, and he didn't need to help his father approve the chapters, nor did he need to help his father handle official business.
In the words of his father, he is the future Son of Heaven and the king of the entire dynasty, as long as he sits firmly on the dragon chair, and other matters are handled by his own ministers.
It's sad.
Sitting on the dragon chair also requires means, his father refused to teach him even the most basic, how did he sit on the dragon chair, and what means did he use to lead the ministers?
So, from the very beginning, that position was not his.
"The thing that the third child did was unintentionally bumped into by the second child, although the second child didn't know what the third child was doing, but such a bloody picture was not something that a normal person could do. Although the father protects the third child, he also has to give the second child an explanation, after all, he is also the father of the second child, and a bowl of water must be leveled. What's more, if such a terrible thing spreads, not only will the court be chaotic, but the dynasty will also be chaotic. ”
Duanmu Jing turned the teacup in his hand and quietly looked at the tea that had turned brown.
I took a sip gently, and the tea without water temperature was very astringent.
Before, it was his people who guided the second child to Chengde and found the house, he did it according to Gu Jinzhen's request, and it was also creepy to listen to his subordinates describe the situation inside.
He really couldn't understand what the third child would do with the blood and internal organs of those boys.
In order to protect the third child, the father naturally had to give the second child a little sweetness, and at the same time warned the third child to pay attention to the aftermath when doing things.
"How's the Queen's body?" It was Gu Jinzhen who asked.
Duanmu Jing's face eased, "I have been taking medicine during this time, and it is much better than in previous years." ”
Speaking of this, there was a faint anger in Duanmu Jing's eyes.
The queen mother is not in good health, especially cold, and every year in September, the brazier will be prepared in the dormitory. The long winter is the most uncomfortable time for the queen mother, even if she burns the earth dragon and prepares a brazier, the queen mother is still cold. Especially the joints, which are cold and cold, hurt badly.
The anger in Duanmu Jing's eyes became more and more intense.
When the queen mother was young, she accidentally fell into the lake, or in the middle of winter, near the end of the year, the coldest time in the four seasons, although she escaped by luck, but the doctor said that the queen mother's children are difficult, and it is difficult to get pregnant in the future.
Therefore, at that time, the queen mother's mother's family thought that since things had happened, the only way to find a small family for the queen mother was to have the support of her mother's family, and the queen mother would not have a hard time.
I didn't know that the sky was not as good, but my father was tempted by the queen mother.
The queen mother knows the condition of her body, so she has been avoiding it, but her father looks like she is in love and has no longevity, and no matter how much her heart is like a rock, she can't resist her father's sweet words, and in the end, the queen mother is moved.
At that time, his father was just a prince, a prince who studied in the imperial school.
The queen mother told her father about her situation, and the father said that he didn't care, she just had to be his wife, and the children born to side concubines and concubines could be recorded in her name and raised as concubines.
Carried away by love, how could the queen mother think so much?
