Chapter 201: The Little Beggar
The Song family was not far away, Lin Jiujiu was sitting in Tianxiang Building, and he didn't finish a cup of tea, and the little guy who gave the gift ran back. She put down her cup and quipped, "Why, they didn't keep you down for a cup of tea?" ”
The little guy was also used to being teased by Lin Jiujiu on weekdays, and scratched his head: "Girl, how can a small one have such a big face." It was the mother of the Song family who asked you to come over to talk, and the little one was afraid of delaying things, so she hurried back. ”
"The mother of the Song family?"
Lin Jiujiu carefully recalled the information related to the Song family in his mind and reacted. The mother of the Song family is not the mother of the current Queen Mother, Gong Yichen's grandmother, this face is very good.
"Okay, I'll pack up and go."
Lin Jiujiu stood up, looked around, and still brought a set of the most expensive skin care set in the store. She used the best Dongzhu and ginseng deer antler velvet for this set of skin care products, not to mention using it, just smelling it makes people feel very expensive.
She was a little distressed, but the gift she gave before was for the Song family, and if she saw Mrs. Song alone, it would be really inappropriate to go empty-handed.
Let Fifteen take the things, and the master and servant went to Song's house.
Because of the Queen Mother, compared with other high-ranking families, the Song family is obviously much more low-key. The vermilion lacquer door, which is inconspicuous, looks like an ordinary rich family.
When you go in, it's just a very standardized rockery garden, and it doesn't shine at all.
Not to mention that Lin Jiujiu has seen too many exquisite and elegant gardens, all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, and the Song family can't get into it.
followed the subordinates to Mrs. Song's courtyard, probably because she was the queen mother's biological mother, Mrs. Song's courtyard was obviously more stylish. Lin Jiujiu entered the door, and Mrs. Song was sitting on the couch drinking tea.
Lin Jiujiu has seen almost the entire capital lady in Tianxianglou, compared to the lady of the same age, Mrs. Song is a little old. Seeing Lin Jiujiu coming in, a kind smile appeared on his face: "Jiujiu is here, hurry up and sit down." ”
Lin Jiujiu sat down on her left hand, and immediately a maid served her tea.
She took a sip, it was the top Longjing, and the taste was actually better than that in Gong Yichen's imperial study, she was sure that just such a small cup of tea could be sold for two taels of silver in the teahouse.
The Song family is as low-key as possible in places that outsiders can see, but in this subtlety, it reveals the luxury of a wealthy family.
"What, the tea is not to taste?" Seeing that Lin Jiujiu didn't speak for a long time, Old Madam Song asked.
She leaned forward slightly as she spoke, looking like an elder who cared about her juniors.
Lin Jiujiu shook his head: "Such a good tea, Jiujiu is reminiscing about its tea fragrance." She waved her hand and asked Fifteen to bring the skin care products she brought, "This is a little bit of Jiujiu's heart, and I hope the old woman will accept it with a smile." ”
Old Madam Song didn't shirk it, asked her subordinates to accept it, and then took out a red silk box.
Lin Jiujiu opened it, and it was a pair of jade bracelets, which were brilliant and worth a lot of money at a glance.
"Old lady......" Lin Jiujiu felt a little hot.
In other words, from the very beginning, Mrs. Song invited her to come over, and Lin Jiujiu felt very pressured.
"Jiujiu don't have to be polite to me, I'm old, and I can't wear these things. It's still your little girl's ice muscles and jade bones that look good to wear. ”
Lin Jiujiu could only put it away.
Until now, she couldn't understand the intention of Mrs. Song to call her. Could it be that it was just to thank her for the gifts? Or is it because of the plan she proposed to the emperor?
Soon, Mrs. Song answered her confusion.
"Jiujiu, I just heard the Queen Mother say that you suggested to the emperor to use bidding to choose next year's imperial merchants, and our Song family has already paid 30,000 taels, but I don't know how much more money we have to pay to get nine out of ten?"
This old lady Song is direct.
Lin Jiujiu put the cup in his hand aside and said, "This Jiujiu is not clear, when the time comes, everyone will have a secret mark, which will be opened by the emperor." The highest bidder wins. She paused, and then said, "Old Madam Song should also know that our Tianxianglou has already produced 50,000 yuan, speaking of which, our situation is the same." ”
Old Madam Song had a loss in her eyes that could not be concealed.
"So, the Song family's 30,000 taels may also be lost?"
Speaking of this, there was already a faint anger in Old Madam Song's eyes.
Thirty thousand taels of silver, that's not a small amount, if there is no return, she feels distressed when she thinks about it.
"But......" Lin Jiujiu turned around, and the corners of his mouth hooked, "At that time, this money will be added to the amount of the bid." ”
Lin Jiujiu is also a businessman, and the problems that Old Madam Song is worried about are also questions she has to think about.
Even if Tianxianglou has money, but money is not made like this. So she thought about it at the beginning, and the merchants that Chen Liang was looking for were also selected, and there were no duplicate categories.
For example, the Song family is a grain and oil maker, so she didn't find a second one to make grain and oil.
When it comes time to bid, the 30,000 taels of silver will be added to the bottom of the bid at the last moment, for them, the money now is a life amulet, and then it will naturally be equivalent to standing on the starting line.
Old Madam Song's eyes lit up.
At that time, competitors will definitely probe their bottom bid, but who would have thought that they would have already taken the lead, even if it was a few thousand taels less by then, but the bottom of 30,000 taels was there, what would they have to be afraid of.
"It's really smart, it's just a pity that it's not the daughter of our Song family." Old Madam Song looked sorry.
Lin Jiujiu just laughed.
Old Madam Song asked someone to take out another painting and handed it to Lin Jiujiu: "This is a painting given to me by your father Lin Mohai before his death, and now I will return it to you, so I will take it as a souvenir." ”
She sighed: "I think back then, Mohai and our master were also friends for the New Year, but I didn't expect that the master would go out to operate for a while, and when he came back, the Mohai people would be gone." If the old man was there at that time, Mohai would not have died young. ”
The smile on Lin Jiujiu's face was replaced by surprise.
She never thought that Lin Mohai would have such a relationship with the Song family. But think about it, if Lin Mohai was just an insignificant person, how could Gong Xiangling instruct Lin Fuhai to harm him?
For the first time, Lin Jiujiu felt that there were many mysteries in her father, but she didn't know how much she knew when she went back and asked Mrs. Lin.
Mrs. Song was very enthusiastic, she stayed at Song's house for dinner, and even sent her outside the small courtyard after eating.
"Girl, that old lady Song seems to like you very much." Fifteen was holding a bunch of things that Mrs. Song gave when she was about to go out, if it weren't for her martial arts practice, she really couldn't hold it.
Lin Jiujiu also felt that Mrs. Song was a little too good to her, could it be because of Lin Mohai's relationship?
"Eh, General!"
Fifteen shouted, and Lin Jiujiu saw Yu Wenhao standing at the door of Song's house, one person and one horse, with a dignified demeanor.
