Chapter 41: Sooner or later, these things have to be used
"It's just a trivial matter, and it can't be elegant."
Don't look at the Prime Minister's wife on the surface, in fact, she is still very proud in her heart. At this time, she began to rejoice that she had let Luo Yutuo take the lead, otherwise if Jiang Qianqian married to another family, she would be the one who envied others.
"Look at you, what are you still humble?" A lady hid her face and smiled, remembering that the purpose of their coming here had not yet been revealed, so she turned the topic back to perfume: "We like the perfume of Qixiang very much, which is not limited every day and it is difficult for us to buy it, so I dare to ask my sister, do you have any extra perfume in your house?" ”
After saying this, the other lady then sighed: "I also love it very much, but I was told that it was sold out when I sent someone to buy it this morning, and I still feel sorry to think about it." After that, he showed a very disappointed look: "If my sister has it here, don't hide it from us, we can buy it at the market price." ”
Several ladies kept pandering, and the performance like singing a double reed couldn't help but give the prime minister's wife a headache. She could see that these drunkards didn't mean to drink.
Seeing that the prime minister's wife seemed to be contemplative, everyone was also a little weak-hearted, and they were afraid that asking for perfume in the name of visiting would make her angry. So he hurriedly explained: "We can buy it at a high price, not for nothing!" ”
Of course, the Prime Minister's wife knew that she would give them the idea of taking it for nothing. Besides, perfume is Jiang Qianqian's property, although she is her daughter-in-law, but she wants to ask Jiang Qianqian for some money, and she has to be shameless.
But the sisters will not be happy to refuse like this, and maybe they will say that she is stingy.
"Hey, I don't have any extra perfume." The prime minister's wife, who was in a dilemma, thought about it and still told a little lie, compared to the mood of the sisters, she felt that her own face was important: "But I heard Qianqian say before that this perfume is produced in batches, or I will help you ask if you can keep a few bottles after the next batch comes out?" ”
She still understands the truth that scarcity is precious, so she asked Jiang Qianqian this problem. She said to give it, and she said not to give it, forget it.
Although she enjoys being sought after by others, she will not do anything that crosses the bottom line.
Several ladies heard the prime minister's wife say this, but they didn't say anything more. Seeing that their goal was achieved, they didn't even want to stay for a while, so they got up and left under the pretext that they had something to do.
Seeing off the last guest, the prime minister's wife only felt that her head hurt. For a while, she didn't know what to do, the lies were all ripped out, would Jiang Qianqian sell her account?
Why don't you talk about it for now, deal with the big things in front of you first, and the perfume matter can be discussed later.
The prime minister's wife asked Qiuping to call Jiang Qianqian over, while she herself sat quietly and waited for them. It didn't take long for Jiang Qianqian to arrive, and she bowed slightly to greet her.
"Get up, sit." The prime minister's wife motioned to Qiu Ping to help Jiang Qianqian up, and only after Jiang Qianqian sat down firmly did she speak: "I called you here today to let you start preparing for the New Year in our house, everyone has the first time, and I will also help you by the side." ”
"This ......"
Jiang Qianqian didn't want to take over, and was about to say no when she was directly interrupted by the prime minister's wife: "How can you say that you are the daughter-in-law of my Luo family, you will have to get started with these things sooner or later, otherwise how will you manage this prime minister's mansion in the future?" ”
At this time, Jiang Qianqian really couldn't find any other reason to refuse, so she could only be forced to accept this errand.
(b)
Since the errand ordered by the prime minister's wife, Jiang Qianqian has not stepped out of the room for about half a day, and she may not even be able to eat. Su Xin dangled around at the door of Jiang Qianqian with an old mother's heart, and finally couldn't help it, reached out and knocked on the door, and called 'Miss' a few times.
No one answered the first two voices, and Jiang Qianqian's suppressed voice came from inside: "What's the matter?" ”
"Miss, you've locked yourself in the house for so long. It's past meal time, so it's better to come out first to breathe. ”
After saying this, there was no immediate response, and Jiang Qianqian was also lying on her stomach in the house without squeaking. The pretty face that was full of energy in the past also showed a sad face, which was really annoying.
Although she has some abilities, this does not mean that she can be proficient in everything, for example, managing household affairs is her weakness.
Family affairs and business management are generally the same, but they do not overlap in the slightest. What's more, it is such an important day, and the New Year is approaching, she can't be sloppy once, and the good omen of the year is just such a day.
"You come in first."
After getting Jiang Qianqian's order, Su Xin pushed the door in, and the first thing she saw was Jiang Qianqian's weak tiredness: "Miss, what's wrong with you?" "The eldest lady didn't go out today, why does she look so tired?
Jiang Qianqian racked her brains for a day and didn't come up with a reason, let out a long sigh, and finally didn't know whether to ask herself or Su Xin: "What should I do now?" ”
Su Xin didn't know what she was so troubled about, she had never seen her like this before, could she really not deal with it?
"Miss, what are you worried about?"
"It's not because of the few things that the Prime Minister's wife asked me to do, and suddenly asked me to prepare for the New Year's Eve in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but I am usually in the shop, how can I have the opportunity to learn these?" The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she became, Jiang Qianqian suddenly felt that her head was about to strike, and she couldn't think of a way to solve it.
"If it's simple and perfunctory, it's natural and simple, but you still have to act in front of the prime minister's wife, if you don't do it well, you will naturally be looked down upon by her."
is in the Prime Minister's Mansion, if she is allowed to see this situation, I am afraid that she will be lectured by her about this matter in the future.
Su Xin looked at Jiang Qianqian worriedly, her affairs were never something she could help, she could only blame herself for not being smart. If she was a little smarter, maybe she would be able to help Jiang Qianqian.
"It's all because Su Xin is not good, and he didn't learn this." Thinking too much, I always feel helpless, and I mumble to myself, and finally blame myself.
Jiang Qianqian didn't expect her gesture, and hurriedly comforted her: "How can this be your fault?" It's your responsibility to take care of me, that's okay...... Wrong! Su Xin, you're such a clever ghost. ”
Jiang Qianqian's expression suddenly fluttered, all her previous negative postures disappeared, and she grabbed Su Xin's wrist and said, "I have a way!" ”
Su Xin was praised in a daze, and she didn't understand what Jiang Qianqian was talking about. But he still nodded confusedly, and then continued to ask, "What did the eldest lady come up with?" ”
"Just because we're not familiar with this field doesn't mean that others won't. Although the Prime Minister's Mansion can't ask more, there is always someone who will know. ”
