Chapter 19: A Walk Through the Garden
The second lady nodded hesitantly: "If you sell it, you will naturally sell it, but with these two things alone, you can open a shop?" ”
Mrs. Fang leaned closer to the second lady and said in a low voice: "Naturally, there are more than these, there are many rare things, all of which come from the south. ”
The second lady looked at her in astonishment: "Where did you get it from?" ”
With a smug smile, Mrs. Fang sat back and said, "Some time ago, I had tea with Mrs. Yongchangbo, and Mrs. Yongchangbo mentioned that she wanted to open a shop that specializes in rare things in the south, and invited me to join the shares. ”
"Then this can't be an imperial offering, right?"
"How is that possible, Mrs. Yongchangbo, you don't know yet, it's just a little shrewd, how can she have the guts?" Mrs. Fang hurriedly shook her head.
"I asked, it was her brother who knew a businessman who went to the sea, and these things he brought back were all small things, and the palace didn't look down on them, and the businessman was ready to throw them away, and was discovered by her brother, and it is said that her daughter, the one who was making trouble to marry a little guy some time ago, actually held these like crazy, and said that they were priceless."
The second lady looked at Mrs. Fang with a look of a fool: "Sister-in-law, you also said that that girl is a little ......" The second lady pointed her fingers: "You also believe this?" ”
"Hey, you don't understand, Mrs. Yongchangbo said, she looked for her daughter to see the master, and said that the blessing is profound," Seeing that the second lady still didn't believe it, Mrs. Fang changed her tone: "Alas, besides, don't I think I can earn a little bit?" You can't make a lot of money, at least you have a small amount of money to subsidize the family, and you know that your big brother still hasn't achieved anything......"
Mrs. Fang really wiped away her tears with a handkerchief now.
I originally thought that the Shaoqing Mansion of Honglu Temple was married, but my father-in-law had a serious illness when he was old, and he was tired, so he had to retreat, and the boss was a mixed eater waiting for death, if it wasn't for the eldest sister-in-law who entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, their family would have been eliminated by celebrities in the capital, and there was a reason why she and Mrs. Yongchangbo sat together and drank tea.
cough, of course the tea she said was a lot of people drinking tea together, and Mrs. Yongchangbo quietly talked to a few good ladies She listened to it, so she was cheeky enough to get involved.
Mrs. Yongchangbo is not good at offending the second wife of the prime minister, who knows that one day the prime minister will suddenly straighten her out, so she agreed, but repeatedly told her to keep it secret, after all, it is a money-making business.
Mrs. Fang went home happily, and pulled her dowry, as well as the silver in the public school, which was only eight hundred taels when it was full, which was enough?
Over the years, Mrs. Fang has been in charge of the huge people in this mansion, and the second family has not been separated, and there is no less dowry to fill in the holes.
Thinking about it, she was very angry, Mrs. Fang frowned tightly, and after thinking flexibly in her heart, she hit the second lady with her idea.
The second lady looked at her sister-in-law who wiped her tears with her eyes, and she was also sad.
Her eldest brother has no interest at all, originally she did not agree with the prime minister to find an errand for the eldest brother, but the prime minister hid from her to find a good and easy errand for the eldest brother, the eldest brother is good, a little grateful and motivated, but began to use the name of the prime minister, learning from those gentlemen in the capital to tremble.
"Okay, how much silver did my sister-in-law say?"
Mrs. Fang suddenly laughed: "It's not much, it's just two thousand taels." ”
"Two thousand taels?" The second lady was surprised and said, "That's not much?" How many of you are shares? ”
Mrs. Fang hurriedly said: "It's not much, Mrs. Yongchangbo took out five thousand taels, I'm just a fraction, the main thing is to rent a shop, and I have to buy all the things of the merchant at one time, so I invested ......a little more."
The second lady didn't take care of the business, and when she heard this, she said suspiciously: "I can lend you the silver, but I still think that you can inquire about this matter clearly before investing, don't have anything wrong, just say that small mirror, how can the palace not look at it?" ”
Mrs. Fang nodded again and again: "Listen to the eldest aunt and grandmother, I'll let your eldest brother ask carefully." ”
Anyway, the money has to be in hand first, Mrs. Fang muttered in her heart, and her face was sincere.
Jiao Niang took Fang Wan and Fang Qian out of the courtyard of the second lady, walked through the flowers and willows all the way, crossed two corridors, and came to the back garden of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The weather in June, the sun is like fire, although it is said that the garden is full of flowers, purple and red, the pavilions and rockeries are scattered, and there is a small waterfall pouring down from the rockery, showing a brilliant rainbow in the sun, which makes people marvel.
However, after walking for a long time, several people were already sweating, and their underwear became more and more uncomfortable.
Fang Qian waved the fan in her hand vigorously, wiped the fine sweat on her head and said, "Sister Jiaoniang, we've been watching it for a long time, are you going back?" ”
Jiao Niang was also very hot, but she gritted her teeth and didn't go back, she looked at it when she heard the words, squinted her eyes and smiled: "Didn't Cousin Qian say that she had never seen my garden before, and she yearned for it?" At this time, the flowers in the garden are the most beautiful, so I brought my cousin here. ”
After speaking, he also looked at Fang Wan and Fang Qian with an inviting look.
Fang Wan was more attentive than Fang Qian, and said with a smile: "Sister Jiao Niang is really the most intimate, but my sister is worried that my sister's delicate skin will be sunburned, and it won't be beautiful anymore, let's see the garden next time, okay?" ”
Jiao Niang's heart was stunned, and she raised her hand and touched her cheek, which was a little hot and stinging.
However, Jiao Niang pouted, if she took them back, she couldn't say that the jewelry she had just made two days ago would suffer again.
Jiao Niang smiled brightly: "I'm not afraid, as long as my sisters are happy." ”
Fang Wan hesitated, and said in her heart: You are not afraid of me, my skin was not good, and I will tan even darker......
When I looked up, I saw a hint of cunning in Jiao Niang's eyes.
Fang Wan gritted her teeth, this little girl had a long heart.
Fang Qian didn't want to go any further.
At this time, there was a faint sound of laughter, Fang Wan raised her head, and not far away a pink wall was hidden under the willow tree, and the sound came from there.
"Hey, who's making noise over there, let's go over and see."
There was a lively look, and Fang Qian suddenly lifted her spirits.
Oh no, Jiao Niang's heart was excited, and she walked smoothly, and came to her sister after shopping.
"Oh, little girls, let's go to the garden."
Jiao Niang stepped forward and stopped in front of them.
Fang Wan's heart moved: "Sister Jiaoniang, why haven't you seen your sister, I heard that it is like a fairy descending to earth, why don't you take us to visit, I have never seen it before, it is too rude." ”
Fang Wan looked at Jiao Niang with a smile.
I saw Jiao Niang's eyes shrink, and her expression suddenly became nervous.
