Chapter 68: Coquettishness
"Third brother, that's the case, my sister's life in the palace is a surprise, and there may be unpredictable things in the next moment, just like this time I fell into the water, I was just going out to hide from the cool, but I didn't expect to fall into the water, and the emperor was also very fond of my sister before, and it was a unique favor in the palace, but in a blink of an eye, I began to snub my sister, so I ......"
Jing Jiqing was listening to her carefully, but her eyes were looking at the maid behind her.
Lu Zhu pointed to his head with a finger, signaling that the third young master and imperial concubine might have a problem with her head now.
Jing Chuchu kept talking to himself with his back to the two, and he didn't see the movement between the two of them at all.
It wasn't until he turned around that Jing Jiqing withdrew his eyes.
"Oh, sister, do you keep saying what you want to do?"
"I ...... I want to do business and be a source of money for myself, even if the emperor doesn't favor me in the future, at least I won't starve to death because of living constraints. ”
She opened her mouth to come, and she didn't think about her third brother's feelings at all.
Jing Jiqing finally sank her face as she expected: "Sister, what nonsense are you talking about?" How could we make you hungry? Don't say that the eldest brother and the second brother can let you live a life of worry-free food and clothing with your third brother and my ability alone, what do you want to do so much? ”
"Ahem...... "Jing Chuchu's reason is not convincing enough, and she didn't think of a reason that could convince her third brother in advance.
At this time, I can only pretend to be stupid.
"Third brother, I know that you brothers can let me live a fairy-like life, but isn't it the palace now?" She coquettishly stepped forward and took him by the arm.
"So what?"
"Third brother, you see that there are many things behind the palace, many of which are not under our control, and my sister's life is in the hands of the emperor! I thought that the emperor was sincere to me, but I didn't expect to turn around and go to other women, so it seems that the emperor must be unreliable here. She thought for a moment and replied.
"The emperor is unreliable, but the brothers are reliable! The emperor didn't give you silver flowers, just said that the silver from the General's Mansion could build a few more palaces. Jing Jiqing said proudly.
"Brother, I think it's all about it, although it's all your money, but think about it, you and the eldest brother and the second brother are going to marry a daughter-in-law, the cards of our general's mansion must be very big, and it will cost a lot of silver taels when the time comes, all for my sister, what do you use to marry a daughter-in-law?"
Jing Chuchu began to know and reason, hoping that the three of her could support her in business.
Jing Jiqing suddenly froze, not even blinking his eyes.
"Sister, why do you think so far, my brothers are still young now, although I don't know what the eldest brother and the second brother think, but the third brother I never thought of marrying a daughter-in-law to start a family, marrying a daughter-in-law costs so much silver, it's really unnecessary, anyway, if the third brother marries a daughter-in-law in the future, he will also find a woman who doesn't want a dowry, you can rest assured, the money is enough to spend."
Jing Jiqing's words, Jing Chuchu's heart collapsed directly after hearing it, her third brother really moved her, she didn't even blink her eyes when she paid for the emperor to build a palace, and she wanted to marry a daughter-in-law but she couldn't give up a penny, how could she not love such a brother?
"Third brother, people just want to do a small business! Besides, my sister also needs to encircle other concubines in the palace to consolidate her position, which must be beneficial, I know that the third brother has money and doesn't care about that, but my sister always wants to be able to be independent and take charge of herself, just want to do something for the general's mansion with her own strength. She opened her mouth pitifully, and begged him.
Jing Jiqing has always doted on his sister, he asked for something at this time, how could he not agree to her?
"Okay, okay, no matter what you say, the three of you will promise you, but you can only do a small business, you can't do everything, otherwise, the third brother will have no business to do." Jing Jiqing couldn't stand her coquettishness, so she could only take a step back.
"It's still the third brother who is the best for me, in such a palace, there is a sister who embroiders very well, and that craftsmanship is very good." As she spoke, she took the embroidery out of her bosom and handed it to him.
Jing Jiqing just glanced at her: "It turns out that you have been prepared for a long time, no wonder you are so reckless." ”
When he saw the embroidery in his hand, he was also slightly stunned: "Is this the pattern shown by the concubines in the palace?" I'm really the best in embroidery, or double embroidery, this can be, but the price of selling embroidery alone is not high. Jing Jiqing also gave his own thoughts.
"So, my sister wants to design some styles of clothes, and then let that sister embroider embroidery patterns, and then we, as concubines, can't do business blatantly, we just want to walk from my brother, third brother, would you like to help?"
Jing Jiqing folded up those embroidery patterns and put them in his sleeve: "It's okay to help, but if the third brother finds a way for you, he should always collect some oil and water, can't he help in vain?" ”
"Third brother, you are so rich, you shouldn't care about this." Jing Chuchu continued to spoil him again.
"Sister, if this is your own business, then the third brother will not ask you for a penny, and will post money to help you, but there are other concubines in the middle, aren't you afraid that you will suffer? You can't let the third brother work in vain, right? ”
"So how about you take a layer of profit from the middle? We have to work up and down the palace, and we can't put most of the oil and water into your purse if we only rely on this to make some money, right? "Jing Chuchu knew that his third brother was not easy to fool, and if he wanted him to help, he really had to peel off his skin!
"Okay, okay, layer by layer, but let's say it first, I'll sort out all the ledgers for you, and I won't be greedy for your penny, but if this road doesn't work, you should die hard, and you can't be reckless, you know?" People who do business always know that shopping malls are like battlefields, but fortunately, his sister knows that she didn't do it herself after discussing with him, otherwise, even if something happens in the future, he doesn't know how to bear it.
"Third brother, I know that you are the best for me, since this matter is so decided, then let's discuss the next thing!" She looked very serious, without a hint of joking.
Jing Jiqing couldn't figure out what she wanted to say, so she sat down and waited quietly for her next step.
"Recently, Concubine Shu fell into the water, and the prime minister's wife began to behave outside again, which made our mother and mother sad now, sister, I can't swallow this breath! I just want to teach them a good lesson, and let them know that people are sinister. ”
Jing Chuchu gritted his teeth when he spoke, and his beautiful eyes were full of anger.
It was the first time Jing Jiqing saw such a sister, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
"Sister, you are the imperial concubine now, and now the matter of the concubine falling into the water has not been cleared, don't be impulsive again!"
She raised her eyebrows: "Third brother, you also know that I am the imperial concubine!" This has been bullied to the top of the head, how can you bear it? I can't teach a good lesson, my sister feels uncomfortable. ”
