Chapter 338: Influence
Who is Mrs. Mo? This is a well-known '-stirring stick' in the circle of the elite.
It is said that she is vulgar, undisciplined, and unsophisticated. But Mrs. Mo's husband is a difficult person to provoke, he is in a high position at a young age, holds power, and is a smooth person. Such a person is the most difficult to offend, because although the ladies and ladies of various families do not look down on Mrs. Mo's background, they can only pinch their noses to please.
But in just half a year, Mrs. Mo has changed more and more. At first, she was just a woman from the countryside and didn't know how to dress up. With a sallow face, with a style of wearing gold and silver, he looks like a poor relative who came to fight the autumn breeze.
Who doesn't have a few poor relatives? This good-looking person, although he doesn't like this group of people, can only admit it. But whenever this group of people came to the door, it was like locusts crossing the border, and everything in the house would be 'occupied' by them.
If you don't give it, the other party will say that you are stingy. If you say something bad, who will talk to you in the future?
Beijing, this circle is not big, but it is not small.
said that the wife of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites got into trouble after driving away the poor relatives who came to the door? Those relatives were broken-mouthed, and they didn't do anything for four or five days in the capital, which just made the family of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites extremely unbearable.
So much so that these words reached His Majesty's ears, saying that he couldn't even handle family affairs well, and it was difficult for him to take on a big responsibility. After that, it was difficult for this man to be promoted, and he sat in this position for eight years.
No one wants to follow in the footsteps of the Ministry of Rites, and can only deal with their relatives carefully.
Mrs. Mo looks like this kind of person, isn't it just that she touched everyone's mold? In addition, she doesn't know how to hide and etiquette, so she made a lot of jokes when she first came to the capital.
Over time, Mrs. Mo became equal to the word vulgar.
Recently, however, some people have discovered that Mrs. Mo is really different from before. Her appearance is not bad, gentle and a little pretty, slender figure, although she is already a mother of two children, she is still as moving as a twenty-eight girl from behind.
In the past, in order to show her dignity, she liked to wear some purple dresses and old-fashioned hairstyles, like old grandmothers from all over the family. Coupled with a large exaggerated gold bracelet and a hairpin full of hairpins, it really hurts the eyes.
And now, Mrs. Mo has a fair complexion and decent makeup. The dress worn at each banquet is different and the jewelry is different. Although she is still straightforward and easy to offend people, her voice is crisp, but it shows a little straightforwardness.
Seeing that Mrs. Mo is getting more and more beautiful, it is really envious.
"It's just a country woman...... someone said sourly.
"But Mrs. Mo is not from Jiangnan? Is there a slight amount of money at home? "Some people are puzzled.
"Yes, yes, I heard that Mrs. Mo's mother's family is a famous giant in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is said that there is no other existence." Someone whispered.
"You're all old calendars. Mrs. Mo is indeed from the countryside, but she has been in the county for three years with her husband's decentralization. But what is her identity now? That's a serious lady. Alas, her husband is really powerful. Reading hard in the cold window, after all, it is a leap into the dragon gate. ”
"I don't know who the words about Mrs. Mo from the countryside came from, this person's heart is broken."
"yes, yes, don't talk about that. Don't you think Mrs. Mo is really getting more and more beautiful? If you want to say that at the beginning, she still took me to know the brand 'Xiang'. My first lipstick was 'Xiang'. ”
"Me too! There are so many imitations on the market now, but only the 'Xiang' lipstick is the best-looking. ”
As he spoke, the topic became crooked.
The person who brought out the topic was so angry that his face turned pale, and he couldn't wait to scratch Mrs. Mo's face.
With a good background, a good husband, and even a pair of children, what kind of luck is this?
It is said that husband and wife should raise their eyebrows and love each other. But their husband and wife deviated from the scriptures, loved and envied, and didn't care what the outside world said.
It was His Majesty who crusaded against Master Mo, saying that he should not focus on the personal affairs of his children and that he wanted to send him a beauty, but he was directly rejected. The reason is that as His Majesty, he should not ask about the affairs of the courtier's back house.
If this is an ordinary person, it must be disliked by His Majesty. But Master Mo rose all the way and became a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and even served as the identity of the upbringing prince.
If jealousy could be turned into a sharp blade, Mrs. Mo would have been poked into a sieve long ago.
This discussion was fruitless, but without exception, Mrs. Mo is indeed getting better and better. This is not only the appearance, but also the temperament, and the indescribable spirit.
Another topic related to Mrs. Mo is that she successfully invited the rumored wife of General Huwei - Qin.
To say that this Qin clan is really mysterious, except for the description of only a few words from the mouths of others, the whole person has never appeared in the social circle. People can only guess based on "The Biography of General Huwei", what kind of appearance and personality this person is.
It's a pity that the Qin family is not described much in this book, and it is not even mentioned once in terms of appearance. I only wrote about what kind of dress she wore, how eye-catching it was, and how special the makeup powder she used.
Although the dress is gorgeous, every woman who loves beauty dreams of having it, but they just want to know what kind of woman can be favored by General Huwei.
"I'm afraid it's not salt-free." Someone said sourly.
"Mrs. Qin is talented and virtuous, even a few shops in Beijing are opened by her, and she will definitely not be an ordinary woman. What if you look ordinary? General Huwei is not a superficial person. ”
There are all kinds of discussions, and this time she went to Mrs. Mo's banquet, and she also revealed this veil of mystery to the world.
"Then the Qin clan is really ugly?" The person who spoke looked at Mrs. Yang and made no secret of his curiosity.
Mrs. Yang covered her lips and smiled: "Want to know?" I'm not going to tell you. However, I can tell you that this Lady Qin is very interesting and compatible with me. And she also introduced a lot of interesting good things, I was planning to go to Xijing to shop, by the way to buy some, do you want to come along? ”
If it is said that Mrs. Mo has successfully attracted the jealousy of women, and because of her personality problems, her popularity in the circle is not very good, then Mrs. Yang is a model of left and right.
She has never offended anyone, and she can talk to anyone. Only those who are familiar with her know that it is not easy to really enter Mrs. Yang's circle. Didn't you see that after so many years, she also made friends with Mrs. Mo and others? Oh, and now that Lady Qin has been added.
The circle is not big, and the words spread quickly, and everyone wants to know what kind of good things make Mrs. Mo and Mrs. Yang unforgettable.
……
At the banquet that day, Qin Xiang was very satisfied.
It's just that what she didn't expect was that these women were eating meat, and they were no more elegant than men.
Especially Mrs. Yang, who has a slender figure and a slightly rounded face, is simply massive.
made Qin Xiang really wonder if there was a gluttonous stomach in this small body.
She didn't think that a lamb skewer would win everyone's affection, and she thought they wouldn't be used to cumin.
Today's cumin has a unique name, benzoin fennel.
Modern people will definitely be confused when they see this name.
It just so happened that Qin Xiang knew this little allusion, so on the way to Gancheng, he passed by a pharmacy, saw the name posted on the medicine cabinet, and hurriedly asked the apprentice to show her.
As soon as she smelled the familiar smell of cumin, her whole person was sublimated.
It was later learned that benzoin was not grown in the country. Rather, it passed through Sidi and was transported from a distant land. At this time, they did not know how to eat, and the foreigners used it to make essential oils, while the natives used cumin to regulate the stomach.
Qin Xiang was very pleased, and immediately bought this cumin, which was a little expensive at this time. Later, when she was in Gancheng, she made meat skewers and roasted whole sheep to the delight of the soldiers.
When she returned, she blurred this paragraph and wrote it in a book.
This must be grateful to her for the experience of being a blogger in her previous life, and the description of food is still a little more infectious than ordinary people.
This dish of Yi Mingju is not added to the recipe, first, because it is not easy to prepare this kind of meat, and secondly, cumin is expensive, so the price of the dishes related to it is destined to be extraordinary.
But now, she should consider whether to add this moxibustion mutton to the menu.
In the summer, it's so hot that it's served with a barbecue and a cold beer.
"Alas...... It's like drinking cold beer. ”
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and Qin Xiang's spirit is getting more and more depressed.
There seemed to be a fire burning in her heart, which made her whole body want to get into the ice cellar.
She used to brew her own beer and had a full set of equipment at home. Brewing beer is not difficult, but the requirements for tools are a bit high.
However, in this era, many ingredients are called differently, and they want to find them differently.
When it comes to key hops, I don't know where to look.
In addition to the beloved beer, air conditioning is also essential.
When Xiaoyu entered the door in the scorching sun, he saw that his owner was like a pool of ice melted under the sun.
"The owner!" She picked up the fan on the side, fanned the wind, and said with a little excitement: "Several shops are full today!" ”
Qin Xiang didn't raise his eyelids, and said coyly, "Isn't this how it should be?" ”
"But when it opened, there weren't so many people."
Qin Xiang exhaled and endured the heat, "Everyone has the mentality of comparing and following the trend. When they saw Mrs. Mo's beautiful clothes and exquisite makeup, they would inevitably be curious or jealous. Coupled with the fact that people are fueling the fire, it is only a matter of time before they buy the same model. ”
Just like some of the 'celebrities with the same style' in later generations, the 'Internet celebrity with the same style' all have the same effect, the so-called spokesperson effect.
Mrs. Mo has a strong personality and loves to be in the limelight. Others don't want to be compared to her, so they have to fight for the top.
At this time, the launch of the main new products in the trend just aroused their desire to buy.
"It's so busy in the shop, you can go back and help quickly." She waved her hand and told Xiaoyu not to disturb her.
Xiaoyu bit her lip and hesitated before she said, "Someone saw that the tenth princess was outside our shop, wandering sneakily several times." ”
For those who dare to rob the husband of the owner, they are their enemies. Therefore, as soon as the person appeared, someone notified Xiaoyu. As for Xiaoyu, he ran back and told Qin Xiang.
"I think she must have bad intentions, and she can't tell what she wants to do with our shop."
