Chapter 42 It's not a waste of time

Hongxuan's eyes were covered with tears: "The love between Duke Qin and his father is well known to the world, after his father's death, he was too sad, and then thought of himself, I hope I can be in Chang'an, become your eldest sister and relative, and give you a lot of mention, so I set up this drop of green pavilion." ”

"You also know that this drop of Cui Ge Mingli is a place to train the women of the Qinglou, but because of these women, I got acquainted with the connections in the capital, went down to Cheyi to go to the husband, and went up to the officials and nobles, there is no news that these women can't collect."

"Since a woman's life is like a grass, but it is this charming skin, flexible bones and blood, which can best bewitch men's hearts."

Speaking of this, she smiled and asked, "Do you still go to Wanwana often?" ”

Qin Huaidao and Wan Yu met in this Dicui Pavilion.

He said with a straight face: "She is the same as Sister Hongxuan to me, and she is just the affection of relatives and friends. ”

"She is the most talented woman trained by Dicui Pavilion, and she is only two years older than you." Her identity naturally can't enter the Qin Mansion, if you really like it, you can also keep it outside. ”

Qin Huaidao's face flushed. I wanted to explain a little, but I just kept silent.

There are many things, as long as you know them in your heart, so why care about what others think.

Hongxuan Zhengse said: "You are fifteen years old, and you have reached the age when you should discuss your relatives." It's just that because Duke Qin died, you had to keep filial piety for three years. But it's better for you to plan early, if you want to get married, it is naturally the best lady of the court official's family, and some marriages are to stabilize the glory of the family. ”

His face was warm and angry: "I never thought of relying on the power of the Yuezhang family to rise in the capital. Besides, I have to keep filial piety for my father for three years, and my sister should not mention such a thing again. ”

Hongxuan knew that she was speechless.

He is arrogant and has a strong backbone, so he can't tolerate those who seek profit and profit.

Hongxuan smiled slightly and said: "At present, the four princes are the most taboo people for the crown prince, the emperor prefers the four princes, and the vast majority of the ministers of the court secretly support the four princes, but I am afraid that they secretly want to plot against each other." ”

Qin Huaidao looked at her: "If my sister guesses, who of the two wins?" ”

Hong's eyebrows lowered: "It's not known whether you'll lose both." Although the current emperor loves his princes the most, he has never been a fool, his wisdom and shrewdness, he is only afraid of the first person in history, usually he just doesn't want to care about those trivial things, if it really touches the bottom line, I am afraid that he will not tolerate it. ”

He picked up the chess pieces: "I'm here to play chess with Sister Hongxuan, if I win, I'll invite you to go to Sister Wanyu to drink." ”

The two of them did not say a word and resumed their chess.

said that Yu Qiao returned home, so he went directly to Zhaoting Garden.

The old lady was in her own yard, fertilizing some flowers and grass, and holding a small shovel in her hand.

Seeing Yu Qiao, there was childlike playfulness in the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes: "The little thing hasn't come to see me for two days, it's really conscienceless." ”

Yu Qiao was coquettish: "How dare Qiao Er forget her grandmother, this is not coming." ”

The old lady put down the shovel in her hand and cleaned her hands in the basin that her grandmother was carrying. He took Yu Qiao's hand and walked into the house.

Yu Qiao sat next to her, her big eyes sparkling: "Qiao'er hasn't been out of the house for ten years, so I went out for a stroll in the past two days, and I only felt that everywhere was surprising and everywhere was amorous." ”

The old lady looked at her dotingly: "It's good to go out for a walk more, but remember the same, girls are cautious in their words and deeds, and they can't be rude outside." ”

Yu Qiao responded obediently: "Qiao Er knows." ”

I didn't do what I did out there......

For example, you can't help but flirt with handsome guys......

Yu Qiao took out the jade from her purse and held it up to the old lady: "Grandmother, I got an ancient jade today, grandmother will see if the texture is good." ”

The old lady took it and exclaimed: "This is a palace thing from the previous dynasty, and it is not easy for the people to get it, where did it come from?" ”

Yu Qiao said faintly: "I really read it right, this jade is the same year and the same material as the one my grandmother gave me, and it is a good thing at first glance." My grandmother probably didn't know that there was a treasure hall in the capital, which was also engaged in an antique business. ”

The reason why the old lady has such a piece of jade is because of the reward her father received when she was the prime minister in the previous dynasty.

Regarding the Treasure Hall, she naturally knew for a long time that she had robbed almost two-thirds of the noble lords of Fu Gu Xuan.

Even the former shopkeeper was poached by the Treasure Hall.

His expression became more and more heavy, and Yu Qiao naturally noticed it.

"I heard that this Jibaotang has only been open in the capital for more than nine years, and the prices of all antiques are one percent lower than that of Fu Gu Xuan, why don't Fu Gu Xuan reduce the price?"

The old lady said in a deep voice: "No, Fu Guxuan's antiques are all from formal channels, and the profits are all small profits." Moreover, if the price is lowered for the sake of competition, the two will create a vicious circle, which is not conducive to the survival of the antique market. ”

Although Yu Qiao understood this truth, he was still not convinced: "Jibaotang doesn't think like this, they only think about how to collapse Fu Gu Xuan, and then swallow it in one gulp." Why bother preaching morality with such shops? ”

The old lady's eyes lit up: "My Song family, first be a man, then do business." ”

Old lady, you can't be too kind......

Doing business is even more inadequate......

In the commercial wars of the twentieth century, any means can be used......

Winning is the ultimate goal......

Yu Qiao pretended to be very obedient and nodded: "Grandmother said yes." ”

Just because you can agree with it doesn't mean you will do it......

She knelt on the old lady's lap, her big eyes blinking: "Grandmother, Qiao'er is very curious about one thing, how much dowry did my mother bring when she married into the Song Mansion?" ”

The old lady was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "What, are you worried about your own dowry?" Don't you want to get married? ”

Yu Qiao's eyes crooked with a smile: "It's not." Grandmother, I have been shopping for the past two days and suddenly found that I have money...... It's good to have silver, I want to go out and bring more silver, and I have to be tough when I have silver. ”

The old lady was even more happy, and said to her grandmother: "Look at it, it turns out that this is a money fan, but I am afraid that I am still thinking about the dowry brought by my marriage to the Song family." ”

Yu Qiao's eyes widened, full of curiosity: "Grandmother, you said to hear how much dowry you brought when you married your grandfather?" ”

The old lady's smile slowly condensed.

In order to marry Song Zhaoting, she did not hesitate to remove her name from her ancestral hometown, and when she got married, except for some private houses she saved, she naturally did not have half of the dowry.

When he left, he just packed up a few clothes, some jewelry and other things, and followed Song Zhaoting with a personal maid.

When I left, it was night, and I didn't say goodbye to anyone, so as not to make my mother sad.
