Chapter 213: Deal with
The eldest princess, who regarded Shi Jinxiu as her daughter-in-law, naturally stayed for dinner, and talked to Shi Jinxiu about Qiuwei during the banquet.
"Shouldn't this autumn be in August or September? It's only May, isn't it early? "Shi Jinxiu had also heard of Qiuwei before, but since her uncle Shi Chongcheng became a knight, the Shi family has never received an invitation to participate in Qiuwei.
"The Son of Heaven is traveling, such a big event, of course, you have to prepare a few months in advance." The eldest princess smiled with Shi Jinxiu, "You haven't been to the hunting ground in Qiuwei yet, have you?" When the time comes, I'll take you to see the excitement! ”
Shi Jinxiu, who heard the eldest princess say this, was flattered, and was busy inquiring with Aunt Xu afterwards about what she should pay attention to when participating in the Qiuwei Conference.
"You're really dark in the light!" Aunt Xu covered her lips and smiled when she heard this, "The eldest princess hasn't participated in the Qiuwei Conference for many years, but your family's Lord Yuwen has been there all these years, if you ask us, it's better to go back and ask Lord Yuwen." ”
was teased by Aunt Xu like this, and Shi Jinxiu made a big red face.
After returning home, she asked about Yuwen Yanqiuwei.
"Why did you suddenly become interested in this?" Yu Wenyan raised his eyebrows at Shi Jinxiu, "Don't you know that the so-called Qiuwei Conference is actually a meeting for the noble ladies in the capital to choose a son?" ”
"Huh?" Shi Jinxiu really didn't know about this.
Looking at Shi Jinxiu's stunned look, Yu Wenyan continued to smile with her: "Actually, this Qiuwei Conference is the selection meeting of the royal guards!" Those meritorious children in the capital will take advantage of this opportunity to perform well, in case they win the favor of the emperor, they can have a good future for themselves. ”
"Therefore, there will be a large number of young talents gathered at the Qiuwei Conference, and those who have daughters naturally feel that this is a good opportunity to choose a son-in-law." Yu Wenyan explained to Shi Jinxiu, "So much so that this Qiuwei Conference has become a major event in the capital." ”
Shi Jinxiu, who heard this, nodded as if he didn't understand, and then sighed: "That's really a pity!" There is no one who practices martial arts in the entire Changxing Marquis Mansion! It's no wonder that no one has attended this autumn siege meeting for so many years. ”
"What? Do you want to see it? Yu Wenyan squinted at Shi Jinxiu.
Shi Jinxiu nodded busily.
"I heard that you were entrusted with a heavy task by the emperor when you showed your skills at the Qiuwei Conference." When he said this, Shi Jinxiu's eyes were full of anticipation.
"It's just that I'm afraid that I will have official business at that time, and I can't take care of you." Yu Wenyan was quite worried.
Shi Jinxiu smiled and shook her head: "Today, the eldest princess said that she could take me to see the excitement." ”
"Did my stepmother really say that?" Yu Wenyan was very surprised, "Her old man hasn't participated in the Qiuwei Conference for many years, but if there is her old man watching you, I don't have to worry about you." ”
Hearing Yu Wenyan say this, Shi Jinxiu smiled.
"So what should I prepare?" She blinked and looked at Yu Wenyan.
"It's nothing more than some clothes that are convenient for movement, the Autumn Wai Conference is generally held for three days and three nights, and you can also bring a set of rider's clothes, because every Autumn Wai Conference leaves time for the nobles to hunt, and you can also try it when the time comes." Yu Wenyan smiled and played with the ends of Shi Jinxiu's hair, "When the time comes, you can also go and hunt a little pheasant to have fun." ”
Shi Jinxiu's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she looked forward to the Qiuwei Conference more and more.
In order not to embarrass Yu Wenyan, she even found Nie Mama and Nie Lan'er, and spent an extra hour every day practicing archery.
Just when Shi Jinxiu was indulging in this, the chief steward Tang Quan came over.
It turned out that after Xinxiang Pavilion was burned down, the batch of goods that Shi Jinxiu had prepared before was burned, and this business naturally could not continue.
Shi Jinxiu simply stopped business, renovated the shop again, and then sent people to Li's house every day to ask for compensation.
I didn't think that this Li family was also a scoundrel.
said that their family was demoted, the position of the eldest son's son was cut, and the second son's reputation was taken away, and he had already been punished.
Since the emperor didn't mention the loss of money, then they set the Beibo Mansion, so naturally they don't need to pay this silver.
The matter took more than a month.
The people of the Li family burned so many incense products of Shi Jinxiu in one go, Shi Jinxiu was naturally distressed, not to mention that there were many spices in it that Lin Xie got from overseas.
But she pressed so hard, but it wasn't for money.
After burning this fire, Shi Jinxiu also understood, this Xinxiang Pavilion and Xixiangtang must be a mountain that cannot accommodate two tigers, even if she doesn't want to clean up Xixiangtang, Xixiangtang will find a way to clean up her Xinxiangtang.
Instead of sitting back and waiting, it is better to take the initiative.
Therefore, after she took the initiative to stop the business of Xinxiangge, she secretly found someone to "sell" some of the incense recipes in her hand to Xixiangtang, and it was expected that Xixiangtang would definitely produce in a big way in these days when Xinxiangge could not open, so as to rob Xinxiangge's business.
And what she was waiting for was that after Xi Xiangtang hoarded incense products on a large scale, she would put out the batch of incense made in Li Ji Incense Shop at a low price, so that all the incense products in Xi Xiangtang could not be sold, so that they would lose all their money.
So these days, while she is unhurriedly decorating the shop of Xinxiang Pavilion, she sends people to Li's house every day to ask for compensation, in order to give the Li family an illusion that "she is defenseless".
Today, Tang Quan suddenly came over, it must have been their previous plan that worked, and they came to ask her what to do next.
Shi Jinxiu changed her clothes and went to see him.
Tang Quan, who saw Shi Jinxiu, was a little excited: "Madam, your plan is really effective, Xixiangtang has already released a word, and a new batch of new incense products will be launched the day after tomorrow, with no time limit or limit!" ”
Shi Jinxiu began to sneer when he heard this: "Their movements are really slow, those recipes have been in their hands for more than half a month, and now they have only come out with new incense products, which really disappoints me." ”
Tang Quan looked at Shi Jinxiu's demeanor, which was more and more like Yu Wenyan, and the corners of his lips twitched almost invisibly.
How could he have thought that this lady of theirs was a good stubble?
Her whole person's methods are no less than that of Lord Yuwen!
But he likes such a lady in charge, he is bullied, and he can't bear to be a pitiful worm.
"Then can we release that batch of incense products next?" Tang Quan was a little eager to try.
Shi Jinxiu smiled and nodded.
Those people in the Li family incense shop are worthy of being masters of incense making, and the incense products made by their hands are better than the incense products of Xinxiang Pavilion.
In addition, Shi Jinxiu intends to let those merchants who go to the countryside and alleys sell cheaply, in order to make Xixiangtang unable to sell at a low price, and smash all these incense products in his hands!
