Chapter 132: Red Rain in the World
Midori scratched her head and thought about it for a moment.
"I don't know what kind of slave maid I gambled on, but I heard that the third lady smashed a lot of vase ornaments, crying and wanting to go back to her mother's house, and want to make peace with the third master or something, and then it stopped after Miss Jinxiu said something......
"Interesting, send someone to inquire about what you are betting on, right?"
Nan Jinyu suddenly became interested, closed the account book in her hand, and leaned on the couch to start.
The news of the Bamboo Pavilion reached Xiao Chen's ears so quickly that day, it can be seen that the shop is his secret property, I wonder if the gambling house next door is it?
"Yes, slave and maid will go."
Midori nodded, turned and walked out, looking eager to try.
In the past, things like exploring news were done by Sister Tsing Yi, and Miss never told her to investigate, but now it is different, Miss Lady often tells her about matters in the house, and Sister Tsing Yi is only in charge of the affairs of the rivers and lakes.
Half an hour later.
A little girl with a raw face came to walk around the Qingfeng Courtyard, and Lu Shao hurriedly took a look at her and came back with a red face, with a full smile on her face.
"Inquiry?"
Nan Jinyu painted on the window edge, and the furnishings of the new store still need to be modified in some places, so that people can not only see that it is a chain store, but also have the details and characteristics of the consumer group, so as to maintain the freshness.
"Yes! Miss, guess what Nan Sanye gambled on and lost his family? ”
The green shoots are full of spring breeze and smiles, and their mouths are almost grinning to the root of their ears, which shows how happy this news is.
"Probably a few days ago, Yanjing headlines were hotly searched, and His Royal Highness King Qin wanted to pay five hundred for the mysterious concubine?"
Nan Jinyu yawned, her expression had confirmed her guess.
"Poof! Miss, you're a god! Tomorrow, if you are so busy every day, how can you even know such gossip clearly? ”
Lu Shao smiled and leaned back, adding a little more to the worship of Nan Jinyu in his heart.
"Where is your young lady, I happened to pass by the gambling house when I was shopping with Tsing Yi that day, and I looked angry...... I made a little bet, but I didn't want to cash it out, so I asked Tsing Yi to pick it up another day. ”
Nan Jinyu laughed, thinking of Xiao Chen's guy who raised the bet to buy, and couldn't help but be impressed by this guy who took advantage of the fire to rob.
Sure enough, rich people are making money all the time, and it doesn't matter if it's their own industry......
"Placing a bet? Miss, how much did you buy! I heard that this is a loss of five hundred! ”
The green shoots' eyes are straight, it turns out that there is such a play!
Recently, the new shop has been decorated, there is not much silver available in the store, and even the workshop is counting the shipment, not a little more, and many individual customers are forced to have a season card and an annual card, just to buy it when they come back to have goods......
"Five thousand, right? I don't remember the specifics, but I bought a lot of them anyway, so it seems that the money I earned is enough to open a third branch. ”
Nan Jinyu pestled her chin and drew a circle on the paper, and pulled out a new piece of paper to write down the name of the place.
"Five, five thousand? This calculation is really enough to open another shop, but this person is not enough! ”
Green Shoot's eyes were almost gone with a smile, and he completely fell into the eyes of money.
"Look at the way you see money!"
Nan Jinyu poked her forehead, handed over the changed furnishing drawings, and said, "Even if there is silver, it will have to be opened next year, we have to wait for spring to develop new categories, there are not so many flowers in winter!" ”
"Oh! Right! How did the slave forget about it? Hey, hey, hey, wait for the new store to open next year, I don't know if the slave can learn to manage the accounts and become a shopkeeper......"
Green Shoots was eager to try, but his voice was not full of confidence.
Although she is not very literate, she has also learned a lot of business methods with the shopkeeper Liu these days, and Sister Tsing Yi will also teach her, and she feels that there will be no chaos when she is the shopkeeper.
"Huh? Do you want to be a shopkeeper? ”
Nan Jinyu turned her head to look at her, thinking that she would be dissatisfied with opening a new store this time and letting the Qinghe Qinglian sisters be the shopkeepers, but she didn't want this girl to just be silently more diligent, and even the bookkeeper praised her for never making a mistake in settling accounts.
"Yes...... Ah, miss, don't you agree? ”
Lu Shao swallowed nervously and looked at Nan Jinyu timidly.
It's not that she doesn't want to serve by Miss's side, it's just that she can't work as reliable as Sister Tsing Yi to follow Miss, and besides, if she doesn't go, where can she rest assured that she will be handed over to outsiders?
"I think so."
Nan Jinyu smiled and patted her head and agreed directly.
She doesn't like to play with the trick of indulging in the past, as long as you pay, there will be a return is the right way to open, and she also planned to do so before, since this girl has the heart to run a shop, then let her do it.
"Really? Are you sure! The slave maid has always thought that she doesn't know much so she is not worthy of being a shopkeeper, and the Qinghe Qinglian sisters are also from a scholarly family, the two of them are smart and clever and know how to advance and retreat, more than a little better than the slave maid, but I didn't expect the young lady to agree? ”
Green Shoot's eyes were red, and he was a little incoherent with excitement.
"You are very good, you settle accounts quickly, your brain is flexible, and you are studious, the shopkeeper Liu has always praised you, and Tsing Yi didn't teach you to read a lot of books? Just keep learning. ”
Nan Jinyu pursed her lips and smiled, she really didn't see the wrong person, this is a great talent who can do business!
"The slave will try! Be sure to take care of the shop for the young lady. ”
Green Shoots was so excited that she almost jumped up, and the whole person almost jumped up with joy.
Peony Garden.
Next to the pear blossom wooden table in the corner of the house, the incense burner is burning vigorously.
"Madam, there doesn't seem to be any movement in Qingfeng Courtyard, and King Qin hasn't been here these days, except for yesterday when he did personally save Nan Jinyu, I can't see how His Royal Highness King Qin treats her differently."
Mama Zhang stood by the door, with a flattering smile on her face.
Recently, the Guogong Mansion has not been very peaceful, and countless people have been betrayed and driven out of the mansion, and even these old people are trembling for fear of being implicated, let alone offending the master.
"His Royal Highness King Qin personally saved her, that's the difference."
Zhu squinted, the newly made enamel finger covers on her nails were not very luxurious, and she remembered that the set of jewel armor that the concubine had worn in the palace at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, her heart was itching.
"This ...... What Madame said is even, but His Royal Highness King Qin's rescue may just be incidental to solving the case? Besides, there are thousands of rumors in the market, and there are only a few things that have been done, so Madame doesn't need to worry too much. ”
After Mama Zhang finished speaking, she stood with her eyes, nose, nose and heart, waiting for Zhu to give orders.
Since the old lady tore her face and was put together, Zhu became more and more anxious, beating and scolding and punishing her, and even degrading out of the yard or even selling, everyone in the Peony Garden was in danger, and her heart was cold.
The second aunt, mother and daughter have been saddled up for so many years, and they have not done anything dirty for her, and in the end they just ended up being crippled and grounded, where is there any pity?
"That's what I said," Zhu finally put down his hand that had been watching for most of the day, glanced in the direction of the courtyard, and said, "Where is that girl in Jinse?" Why didn't you come here today? ”
"The third lady is here! When I saw that my wife was reading the scriptures, I didn't come in to disturb her, and I was waiting outside. ”
Mama Zhang pretended to say, as if she had forgotten about this before!
The third lady has always been innocent and romantic, and she has great respect for these old people, but her temperament has changed greatly recently, not only is there too much etiquette and too many courtesies, even the lady can't figure out what she is doing, because there is some estrangement between mother and daughter.
"Oh, please come in, it's autumn, and it's cool in the yard."
After Zhu finished speaking, he closed his eyes, teaching people to see the look in her eyes clearly.
After Mama Zhang finished passing the pass, Nan Jinse in the courtyard came into the house, and looked at the innocent and romantic third lady, but the smile on her face was not as innocent as before.
"Mother, are you done? My daughter had just arrived a little later. ”
Nan Jinse sat down next to Zhu affectionately, glanced at Mama Zhang's expression cautiously, and saw her eyelids hanging expressionlessly, so she had to continue to pretend not to know.
"Well, I thought you weren't coming today."
Zhu Shi opened his eyes slightly, his eyes stayed on Nan Jinse's posture sitting upright, and suddenly had a tentative thought.
"The blind date banquet a few days ago was very lively, although the Ji family's sister-in-law who was rectified did not have any trouble later, but if you encounter it in the future, you have to be more careful, those gentlemen are not a good thing!"
"Yes, the daughter remembers her mother's teachings, that matter may be done secretly, those families don't dare to make trouble for the sake of face, and the daughter will avoid them in the future, but I don't know who did what happened that day......"
Nan Jinse replied extremely carefully, and his inquiring tone was a little weak.
It was the county lord of Tianqing who was teaching those gentlemen up and down in Nanfu, but she clearly didn't see Nan Jinyu's person that day, and then she appeared in the fourth aunt's residence, and she was still with the king of Jiangyang County, so it would not be her.
"Humph! Except for Nan Jinyu's little hoof, who else in this house has the ability to teach those prodigals? Not to mention that her kung fu is not enough, the maid next to her can beat those boys into pigs' heads. ”
Zhu said unhappily, this matter was obviously done by Nan Jinyu, the old lady wanted to press it down, saying that Nanfu can't stand the toss now, and in the end, those gentlemen didn't come to make trouble at home, but she didn't feel a taste in her heart.
The cost of the blind date banquet was too high, and she directly emptied most of her small treasury, if she didn't have the 1,000 taels of silver she took from the Bai family's dowry before, I was afraid that even Jinse's dowry would have to be pasted in, what would be the result?
Even the king of Jiangyang County left in disgrace, it was really in vain that she worked hard to make a wedding dress for others!
"The matter...... After all, I didn't pursue it, so let's expose it, I don't know if my mother's head wind has improved today? ”
Nan Jinse felt suffocated and didn't want to talk about these topics anymore.
Once upon a time, her sister was still young before she entered the palace, and her mother always smiled and played with their sisters, and she did not have the slightest worry except for coquettish and fruity every day, but now that the time has passed, it is wrong to move things, and there is no going back to that time......
"I haven't been in the wind for a day or two, how can it be so easy? It's you, are there any young talents at the blind date banquet who are still eye-catching? ”
Zhu glanced at Nan Jinse lightly, and didn't know what she thought about King Qin before, King Qin and the crown prince were enemies, so it was impossible for her to marry her two daughters into different camps.
"Why did Mother say that? My daughter was still young and didn't think about it. ”
Nan Jinse was shocked, his face was not very good, but in an instant, he returned to his delicate and lovely appearance, and he couldn't see anything unusual.
"Oh? That was the mother's negligence, all the noble sons with heads and faces in Yanjing came that day, except for a few princes, all the ones who should have come and those who shouldn't have come have come. ”
Zhu Xu was tired of fiddling with his nails, so he put down his hand and his eyes stayed on Nan Jinse's face.
"Back to her mother's words, my daughter saw a lot of disciples that day, and the front yard was chaotic for a while, and then I finally went back to the backyard, and I saw Nan Jinxi hiding lazy in the courtyard of the fourth aunt, but Nan Jinxiu was very enthusiastic, I am afraid that I have fallen in love with someone's son."
Nan Jinse was blunt, but his heart was a little desolate.
The marriage of the children of all the families is for the benefit of the family, but she never thought that the Nan family would be so prosperous, and her mother was not satisfied with the status quo, and wanted to use her as a pawn, which really ruined her delusion.
"Nan Jinxiu? That shallow-eyed thing, you don't have to pay attention to her, the Yin family may want her to marry a good family in the name of the Guogong Mansion, but she doesn't want to think that people have to take a fancy to her daughter! ”
Zhu said sarcastically, the abacus in his heart was rattling.
Originally, this blind date banquet was not prepared for Jin Se to see each other, and the good holy decree was not transmitted, only a message was passed on that the marriage period was suspended, Nan Jinyu's dead girl did not respond, but spent her own money, no matter what, she had to get it back, otherwise wouldn't it make that fox spirit look down on it?
"What the mother said is that the daughter doesn't look at those inconsequential people, but she doesn't know what the mother plans to do after this blind date banquet?"
Nan Jinse said, his mood went up and down, and he was very worried.
She can pretend that she doesn't care if the dowry is less, but what if she is sold?
"After you all left that day, the Marquis of Zhongyi came to join in the fun."
Zhu Shi glanced at Mama Zhang at the door, and the other party immediately closed the wide open door, isolating the eyes and ears outside.
Nan Jinse was stunned, she was her own child, no matter how bad she was, her mother couldn't marry her to that kind of person, right?
"Loyal and righteous marquis? What my mother said was that the old man who raised countless male pets in the house over half a hundred years old ......"
"Jinse, don't be rude! Is the Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness a little girl who can speak falsely? ”
Zhu interrupted her, and his eyes showed full disapproval.
"Mother, my daughter knows that she is wrong! You can't marry your daughter to that kind of person......"
Nan Jinse knelt on the ground with a "puff", and he didn't care about the cold bluestone ground, and tears fell down.
"What ......"
Zhu was confused by her reaction, and then said angrily: "You stupid girl! I'm your mother! Am I going to hurt you? Yes? ”
"Don't! Mothers and daughters don't marry that kind of person even if they die! ”
Nan Jinse hugged Zhu's thigh and cried loudly, shocking the maids and women in the courtyard who were stunned.
What's crazy about this lady? It made Miss Jinse cry!
"Third Miss, you misunderstood Madame, Zhongyi Hou is not interested in you, but Fourth Miss!"
After Mama Zhang got Zhu's eyes, she hurriedly stepped forward to explain, and grabbed Nan Jinse's armpit and lifted the person up.
"Huh? Fourth Miss? It turned out to be Nan Jinxi! ”
Nan Jinse's crying was stagnant, and after staying for a while, he immediately burst into laughter, raised his hand to wipe away his tears, turned around and sat back beside Zhu, and smiled complicatedly and happily.
"You dead girl, do you think your mother will sell you? What is the old lady doing not for you, sisters? Yes? I'm so angry that you want to die like this! ”
Zhu scolded, stretched out his hand and poked Xia Nan Jinse's forehead, and saw that she was suffering with a hippie smile, and he was relieved in his heart.
The eldest daughter of Nanfu is married to the heavenly family, and this second daughter naturally can't be missed, if it weren't for the fact that Xuan Xuan is too anxious, she would have intended to marry Jin Se to the prince......
The prince's concubine has only had a son in so many years, and the prince's heir is difficult, and there is no reason not to accept the concubine, but Jinse is still young, and Guanxuan is staring at it tightly, and she doesn't know how to mention it.
"Mother, don't be angry, it's not worth it to be angry, and your daughter is also blinded by lard, so she will think crankily, she was really scared by the three words of Zhongyihou......"
Nan Jinse explained, but he didn't really breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.
She was a little careful about His Royal Highness King Qin, and her sister actually knew about it, but what could she do?
My sister is now just a concubine who can only take money from the family, and unlike the queen who rules the six palaces, she can find a good family to marry with a decree.
"Humph! You can't react outside, Zhongyi Hou came to Nanfu to see the beauty, the beauty didn't see it, just saw a portrait hanging in your father's study, and after asking, he casually said that it was Nan Jinxi, and this matter is so eyebrow-raising. ”
Zhu said with a smile, it doesn't matter who the portrait is, the painting was painted by Nan Jinchen, except for saying that it was his sister, there was no other choice, anyway, it was just a concubine.
The Marquis of Chung Yi held the heavy army of Gyeonggi, no matter what he did in private, he always had an undiminished prestige in the court, and if he could win him over, the wings of Nanfu would naturally be fuller in the future.
"Portrait of my father's study? So how could it be Nan Jinxi? ”
Nan Jinse muttered to herself, and when she caught a glimpse of Mama Zhang shaking her head at her, she realized that she had said the wrong thing and immediately fell silent.
"Nan Jinchen is not painting Nan Jinxi, who is it? Fourth aunt? ”
Zhu glanced at her, preferring to believe that the person in the painting was Nan Jinxi, anyway, she didn't come up with this idea alone, so she couldn't blame her!
"What my mother said is, so the biggest gain of the blind date banquet is to solve Nan Jinxi's sharp-mouthed girl, but the daughter is worried...... Nan Jinyu is only afraid that there will be some kind of moth! ”
Nan Jinse flattered, but in his heart he was very disgusted with this practice of selling his daughter for glory.
No matter how bad the Guogong Mansion is, it won't be to the point where it can continue to maintain itself by marrying his daughter to an old pervert, right?
"She? Be her county lord well, if King Qin can marry her in the end, it will be a red rain in the sky, and her creation will be great! ”
Zhu sneered, obviously gritting his teeth with hatred for Nan Jinyu.
