Chapter 54: Leaving Without Money
When Jiang Ziyan arrived upstairs, he saw Jiang Qiaochu with spring flowers and autumn moon insisting on breaking into the No. 2 private room, and the shopkeeper Zhou blocked the door of the private room, with a bitter face.
Jiang Qiaochu is the second lady of Jiangfu, but this teahouse is the eldest lady's, as the saying goes, who eats to whom, now it is the eldest lady who pays the wages in the month, and everything has to be listened to by the eldest lady.
Now that the second lady has broken into the private room, the shopkeeper Zhou is embarrassed to let his subordinates drive people away, so he has to block the door of the private room.
Shopkeeper Zhou breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Jiang Ziyan coming. Jiang Qiaochu wanted to take the opportunity to squeeze into the private room from Shopkeeper Zhou's side, but Jiang Ziyan spoke in the back.
"Second sister, are you also coming for tea?"
Jiang Ziyan was tepid, and he said everything.
Hearing Jiang Ziyan's voice, Jiang Qiaochu stopped, turned around, and looked at Jiang Ziyan.
Dressed in a plain long skirt, the hem of the collar skirt is embroidered with a small jasmine of natural color, and you know that it is the craftsmanship of 'the world's first show workshop' when you look at the workmanship, and it is worn on Jiang Ziyan's body, which is inexplicably noble and elegant.
There is no powder on the face, but the eyes are bright and the teeth are bright, and the white and smooth face makes people unable to see joy and anger, but the corners of the mouth clearly pull out a mocking smile.
A pair of ink-like eyes shine like the brightest stars in the night sky, making people unable to take their eyes off when they look at it.
Looking up, his hair was half tied back and half draped over his shoulders, with a white hosta stuck in his head.
The whole person looks three points elegant and three points heroic, and the ten points add up to all handsome, which makes people can't help but shine.
Originally, she was the first beauty in the capital, and she was dazzled by a person who had not been instructed by etiquette for no reason.
Jiang Qiaochu came back to his senses and said, "The eldest sister also came to drink tea?" ”
In the end, Jiang Qiaochu, who has been cultivated as a princess, and has always been gentle, virtuous, kind and benevolent in front of others, has raised everyone's beautiful shelf in front of Jiang Ziyan.
Jiang Qiaochu was wearing a purple long skirt, with natural butterflies embroidered on the cuffs and collar of the skirt, which was worn decently and generously on Jiang Qiaochu. It is also the craft of 'the world's first show'.
From a layman's point of view, there is nothing wrong with it, Jiang Ziyan knows in his heart that this is last year's work, and both the fabric and the style are outdated.
Jiang Qiaochu originally thought of the 'world's first show workshop' custom dress, but because Guo Shi found a third-rate embroidery girl, he delayed some time in the house, and when he arrived at the 'world's first show workshop', the order within ten days was full, and then it could only be picked up ten days later.
Ten days later, the cucumbers and vegetables were cold, and there were new clothes.
If it was the former shopkeeper, he would definitely sell Jiang Qiaochu a face, and the embroidery girls would stay up late to make a set of dresses for her, and now Qin Susu does not recognize her identity as the second lady of Jiangfu at all.
It's not that Qin Susu doesn't give Jiang Qiaochu face, but the eldest lady has explained that embroidery girls are not allowed to stay up late, saying that staying up late is not good for your health. Especially women, staying up late hurts their face the most. There are all women in the show, and many of them are unmarried girls, who doesn't cherish their faces, and the shopkeeper can't just extend the working hours of the embroidery girl, right?
The kind-hearted Qin Susu introduced last year's style to Jiang Qiaochu, and said that Jiang Qiaochu has a first-class figure, and there is no need to wear customized clothes, standard clothes are just right to wear on the body, and the figure of Miss Kuaer is a first-class standard.
Jiang Qiaochu was blown dizzy, and sold a set of last year's ready-to-wear clothes for silver, and Qin Susu gave her a twenty-percent discount according to the standard of old customers.
"Yes, everyone is waiting on the street to greet the King of Chu, and as the eldest daughter of the Jiang Mansion, I can't say anything if I don't come out. Besides, I had already booked a seat, so I didn't make it difficult for the shopkeeper, did I? ”
Jiang Ziyan said something and told Jiang Qiaochu that she not only came to drink tea, but also came to greet the king of Chu as the eldest daughter of the Jiang Mansion, and the seat was also set in advance, so that Jiang Qiaochu would not be embarrassed by the shopkeeper.
Jiang Qiaochu naturally heard the meaning of Jiang Ziyan's words, but he still had no intention of leaving.
"Eldest sister, when I came, it was clear that there was no one here, and the first to come got it, this is the rule, as the owner here, how can the eldest sister bully the guests casually." When it came to Jiang Qiaochu's mouth, Jiang Ziyan bullied her.
"I don't know who set the rules of the second sister, the rules of my teahouse today are the one with the highest price, this is a notice posted ten days ago, I don't believe that the second sister can go downstairs to take a look."
Jiang Ziyan was still tepid, and there was no trace of warmth in his eyes when he looked at Jiang Qiaochu.
Originally, Jiang Ziyan had already made it clear that Jiang Qiaochu should leave with interest, but Jiang Qiaochu was used to saying it, and now she retreated as if Jiang Ziyan had robbed her of what belonged to her, and there were a hundred unhappy in her heart.
"Since it's an auction, my sister will pay the money, and my sister will make a bid." Jiang Qiaochu didn't believe it, a private room was just a private room, how much silver could it be worth, and it was a big deal to buy it with silver.
Jiang Ziyan saw that Jiang Qiaochu was not leaving here, so he said: "Shopkeeper Zhou, tell the second lady, what is the price of the private room today." ”
Shopkeeper Zhou hurriedly returned: "Qiqi two young ladies, the price of today's private room on the street is 6,000 taels of silver. ”
"What? Six thousand taels? Why don't you grab it! "Jiang Qiaochu was blinded all of a sudden, and six thousand taels could build two such teahouses.
"What, the second sister doesn't want my sister to make money, right? Or is the second sister not enough silver? In this way, for the sake of our surname, my sister will give you a nine-percent discount, and I will pay five thousand four hundred taels, and my sister will give you this private room. ”
Jiang Ziyan said generously.
Jiang Fu asked Yu Xuzi to defraud more than 100,000 taels some time ago, and later in order to get Jiang Ziyan's life, he gave those bandits 200,000 taels, and in the last month or so, he has been buying dowries for Jiang Qiaochu every day, and now the entire Jiang Mansion can't take out 5,000 taels of silver, how can Jiang Qiaochu bring so much silver when he goes out.
"Eldest sister, it's just a cup of tea when you go out, who will bring so much silver."
Don't you know such a simple reason for leaving without money?
"Oh, I thought the second sister wanted to see the style of the King of Chu, it turned out that it was just to drink tea, the second sister really came to the right place, the tea is free today, the second sister goes to the counter below, it is no problem to drink as much as she wants."
After Jiang Ziyan finished speaking, he entered the private room.
Ye Yu Leafhopper, the crescent milk lady naturally followed.
Jiang Qiaochu saw that although these subordinates were wearing the style of the subordinates, the workmanship was the workmanship of the 'No. 1 show in the world', and he hated it so much that he had to be a crescent moon nurse who entered the private room, and even bit his silver teeth.
It's just a few people, why can you enter the private room, she is the second lady of Jiang Mansion, but she was turned away.
Even if he gritted his teeth, it didn't help, so he had to go downstairs and leave with Chunhua Qiuyue resentfully.
The man brought tea and all kinds of fruits and snacks to fill the table, and everyone sat around talking and laughing, so unhappy.
During this time, the crescent milk lady helped in the 'Five Perfume Powder Shop', and Ye Yu Yecicada followed Jiang Ziyan to run between the shops, and now she is idle, and she is really a little uncomfortable.
Everyone laughed, and the crescent moon remembered the story of Zhu Bajie's daughter-in-law that Jiang Ziyan told her, so she told Ye Yu Ye Chan again, and the two iceberg faces finally showed their teeth with a smile.
The sound of a cannon salute sounded in the distance, and the pedestrians on the street and the guests in the teahouse immediately cheered, and those who were well-informed already knew what was going on, and said loudly downstairs: "The king of Chu is about to arrive, welcome our god of war to return victorious!" ”
This sound caused a flock effect, and everyone immediately echoed, and for a while, the shout shook the sky, almost lifting the teahouse.
After a while, two groups of soldiers with long guns drove the people in the middle of the road to both sides, and then stood in front of the people to maintain order.
As soon as the people settled down, they heard someone shouting in the distance, "I saw the king of Chu, the king of Chu is back!" Our god of war is back! ”
The crowd immediately boiled, and the soldiers standing in front of them tried their best to maintain order.
Jiang Ziyan poked his head out of the window, and saw flags waving from a distance, gongs and drums were noisy, and he was coming this way.
When I got closer, I saw a man in brocade clothes and jade belt riding a horse in front, behind him was a guard of honor, and behind him was a jade bowl carried by thirty-two people, and a man wearing a mask sat on it.
The crowd on both sides cheered at the jade pan, needless to say, this person must be the king of Chu, but he didn't understand why he was wearing a mask.
When I got closer, I saw that the king of Chu was wearing a plain brocade robe, a jade belt around his waist, a plain forehead, a mask in front of him, and he couldn't see whether he was wearing decorations, and the forehead wiping belt fluttered in the wind behind his head.
When he arrived at the teahouse, Jiang Ziyan looked down, and it happened that the King of Chu also looked up here, only to see a pair of black and white eyes behind the mask, like the most dazzling stars in the night sky, it was impossible to forget at a glance.
