Chapter 219: Imprisoned Love (27)
Ran Jia thought about it, but it was a big deal that she paid out of her own pocket to buy a discount, and she should repay it by borrowing Pinxuan's name.
"I, in the name of the tea party, I held a birthday for my master, is it a little similar to the third lady and the ceremony? The ladies and ladies who were invited were not ...... in their hearts," she wailed into his arms, and she was an impulsive person herself, and she was a momentary whim, but she did not consider the whole thing.
"It doesn't matter, doesn't anyone have a different purpose by holding various flower and tea parties? The powerful are just the world's own flaunts, and no one is convinced, as long as there are interests to be made, what are their accountants? ”
Ran Jia nodded, yes, many things are self-reliant and insignificant in the eyes of others. However, this matter is really not considered by her, and she has to come to the door to apologize to her master in person.
Well, she had to go to confess to Shopkeeper Chen in person, and inquire about the tea party by the way.
"Just one point, you are pregnant now, you are not allowed to run around, what is the matter for the shopkeeper Jin and the sisters of the Qiu family to do it for you." Ying Key still insists on this.
Ran Jia pulled his sleeve indiscriminately, and before the words could be spoken, he said again: "Even if you call the king of heaven and Lao Tzu to come, it doesn't work, your body is weak, and the doctor told you to stay in bed more, the first three months are very important." If you run the tea party yourself, how much work will you have to do? ”
She stroked her stomach and sighed softly, and stopped talking.
"It just so happens that you can entrust this matter to Madame, firstly, so that she does not have idle thoughts and thoughts, and secondly, she is a reliable Chinese person, and it is appropriate to organize a tea party. Besides, if you go, under what pretext will you invite Madame? ”
Ran Jia's little face was lit up again when she heard this, she hmmmm, her hands wrapped around his neck, her head rubbed against his chest, and said softly: "Xianggong, you are so smart, the purpose of my tea party is to make the master angry, without the name of Mrs. Hou, her life can still be very exciting, which is envied by others!" ”
Most of the identities of women are given by their husbands, no matter how high the husband's official position is, no matter how powerful the title is, if they are not posthumously sealed, and they are not royal blood relatives such as princesses and princesses, they are really just good-looking, and they can't do anything to people. At most, through the power in the hands of the husband, he made people stumble and wear small shoes.
Restricted by the boxy courtyard, even if they often come out to participate in various banquets and flower parties, some of their sights and stories are only as big as the mouth of the well. It's better to be free and happy in the market, as long as the master is open-minded, with her appearance, talent and bearing, she will definitely be able to live extremely freely.
But no one else can say this, the master has to understand it himself, Ran Jia believes that as long as the master looks at the outside world more, with his intelligence, he should find different fun and the true meaning of life, right?
"Hehe, I'm not smart, how can I look at you as a pregnant woman?" Ying Key sneered.
Ran Jia snorted and bit his neck, woo woo, can't you give people some face?
She sighed slightly in her heart, she was not a person who was trapped by herself, she had to always remind herself that she was a pregnant woman, she had to do what she could, she was relaxed and happy, she had enough sleep, and everything would be said after the child was born.
Although she was not able to attend the tea party in person, she was allowed to meet with Shopkeeper Chen and Mrs. Qin in a carriage by Ying Key.
Ran Jia stood outside the splendid shop of Shangpinxuan, and sighed in her heart, in the past, she accompanied her wife as a girl, but now she is a small owner. She still has a dreamy feeling when she thinks about it now, and as soon as Ran Jia got out of the car, a sharp-eyed girl went to the backyard and called Shopkeeper Chen.
"Haha, the old man said that the magpie fell on the branch early this morning and kept calling, it turned out that Mrs. Ying was coming, a rare guest! Inside, please," Shopkeeper Chen walked over with a laugh, and his voice was not small enough for the people in the huge hall and the half-open private room on the second floor to hear.
Everyone was curious to look at it, who had such a big face for Shopkeeper Chen to receive him like this.
Occupying one of the busiest locations in Kyoto, Shang Pin Xuan is one of the few jewelry shops to supply harem concubines, with its excellent quality jewelry and innovative styles. Its name is wrapped in a layer of nobility on the outside of the gold, silver and copper stench, and it is no longer a simple shop.
With the addition of the imperial businessman, the identity of the shopkeeper has also risen, and ordinary magnates can't get into his eyes.
Ran Jia has a thin gauze on her face, which makes people look unreal, but looking at the figure and elegant dress, everyone can't guess that there is a slight itch in their hearts.
The shopkeeper Chen bowed his waist slightly and led the way all the way, the backyard of the shop was not as luxurious as the hall was resplendent and luxurious, but the simple atmosphere with a kind of tranquility washed away the lead of the heart, one door and two worlds.
Under the bamboo shed, there are tables and chairs polished with wooden stakes, and there are curling tea on them, and the fragrance of gardenias wafting from somewhere is lightly wrapped around people, brushing away all the unhappiness in their hearts.
Ran Jia directly said her intentions straight to the point, and she was embarrassed to say that she only needed to use the name of Pinxuan and the territory of Hepinzhuang, and she would pay for the rest of the expenses.
Shopkeeper Chen took a sip of tea after listening to it, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Madam, we have been working together for a month, and everyone is very happy. The old man doesn't need to report this matter to the owner, and he can make the decision.
In the past, Pinxuan will also hold similar banquets, although our reputation is not good, it can let people really see the strength of Pinxuan, which is a very important means of sales.
The gimmick, which is never lacking, is the hard advantage that ensures that Pinxuan has always been ahead of its peers.
However, the lottery mentioned by Mrs. is not bad, although others see that we are taken advantage of, but it is not clear what kind of benefits will be brought in the future. ”
Ran Jia doesn't know much about business, but in the past month or so, Shopkeeper Jin has told her a lot that Ying Jian will also pick up this aspect to fight with her, and every time he sees Shopkeeper Chen, he is also willing to say a few more words. She is not stupid, she will understand in her heart that Pinxuan has its own various mines, and the cost of purchasing the mine has already been earned, and the labor and transportation costs will be net after deducting it.
The pattern ideas provided by Ran Jia are fresh and beautiful, and they can increase the income of a piece of jewelry by 20% on the original basis, and the sales speed will increase by 10 times.
The same is true for this discount, which only pays for labor costs, but can stimulate sales and drive a steady stream of revenue.
Shopkeeper Chen not only supported this tea party, but also said that all the expenses and venues were provided by Shang Pinxuan, and that there would be special people to organize the venue layout, stage construction, invitation to the theater troupe, and even fruit cakes and fruit wine. Those people are used to organizing, and they are extremely safe, of course, if Ran Jia has additional requirements, they can be raised at any time.
Ran Jia actually had a little heart when she came, which would be completely relaxed, and her eyebrows and eyes were stretched with bright colors. She didn't have anything else to ask for, and after the two of them talked, she got up and left.
When she arrived at the door of the inn by car, she couldn't move her feet, as if she was afraid of home.
The Qiu sisters led her directly to a courtyard at the back of the inn, but it was an ordinary courtyard house, and it was very noisy. The sound of children chasing and fighting, the sound of concubines chatting with melon seeds, and the sound of washing pots and dishes in the kitchen, Ran Jia was noisy as soon as she came in.
It is estimated that the master cleaned up the group of concubines, and they only glared at Ran Jia fiercely with their eyes, and did not say a word that they did not like.
"Master," after the report, Ran Jia walked into the door with her skirt and shouted at the woman who had lost a lot of weight.
"You're finally willing to come to see me," Mrs. Qin greeted her with a smile, and the three little guys around her who looked down and read a book also shouted at Ran Jia obediently, "Why do you want to be a mother, but you become squeamish and become a crybaby?" ”
Looking at the master who was doing nothing, Ran Jia's tears flowed down without a breath.
"Alas," Mrs. Qin glanced at Mama Grandma, and Mama Grandma led the young master and young lady out and took them to the door by the way. She beckoned Ran Jia to sit beside her, and wiped her with a handkerchief, "What are you crying about, I'm fine, I left that house, and I was a lot lighter." I'm just doing what I want now, and I don't have to think about it that much. ”
Ran Jia hugged Mrs. Qin with a whimper, her heart was distressed, "Master, you are the young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, where have you suffered such a crime." ”
Mrs. Qin stroked her back and chuckled: "I don't suffer much at the moment, but the yard is a little smaller, but you see that my house is not small, there is no shortage of things in it, but there is no flower carefully served in that yard."
But the master has already found the yard, and I heard that it is also a five-entry house, just behind you, as if the back door of our two houses is diagonally facing each other. ”
"Really?" Only then did Ran Jia get up and wipe her tears with a handkerchief, and she was still sobbing, asking with joy in her eyes.
"Well," Mrs. Qin nodded, and said in a very low voice: "I didn't think that my master still had some savings in his hand, and said that he rented it to the outside world, but in fact, he bought the house directly, saying that there is a huge garden in the main courtyard inside, which is specially for me to enjoy, even the back garden in the mansion can't reach it."
The master said that my dowry can't fill the hole in vain, and that he will make up for mine first in the future, and then fill it as a family member.
And after this incident, my lord's attitude towards me has been much better, and he has stayed in my house for the past few days," she said, her face dyed red, "Isn't what a woman asks for her husband's love?" I'm a blessing in disguise. ”
Ran Jia saw that Mrs. Qin was indeed not reluctant, and nodded vigorously, she talked about the tea party in early July, because she was pregnant, she couldn't handle it, and wanted to entrust Mrs. Qin to be the host.
