Chapter 028 Unique (1)

Zijuan guessed correctly, most of the visitors who came to Ping'anfang today to congratulate the housewarming came to see the excitement, and the remaining small part came to get closer to Wang Qifang. And this small group of people, without exception, are all businessmen in the capital or who came to the capital to participate in the certification meeting of the Confucian Business Association.

It's not that these wealthy businessmen are in a hurry to go to the doctor, but there are too many people who are trying to get in touch with the Zhao family, and it just so happens that they have a lot of money, but they don't have any way, so they have to explore everywhere and don't miss any opportunity to get in touch with the Zhao family.

Wang Qifang, the second young grandmother of the Zhao family, although she has now moved out of the Zhao Mansion, she has both the eldest grandson of the Zhao family and the identity of the second young grandmother here, even if she can't be the master of Zhao Tianqing, at least she can help introduce it.

So, after the wealthy businessmen with this kind of thinking heard that today was the day when Wang Qifang moved to a new house, they all ran to Ping'an Fang to congratulate them with heavy gifts without exception.

Among these people, there is also an acquaintance of Wang Qifang - Li Huaien's wife, Liu.

In fact, the Liu family was reluctant to talk to Wang Qifang at first, and if you think about it, you know that the original family was living a prosperous life, and the family had a house, land and a shop, which was not a rich man, but it could also be regarded as a middle-class family.

As soon as this second grandmother Zhao appeared, the family's shop was taken away, the grange was let out, and even the mansion she had just bought was given to her.

Although the husband has repeatedly emphasized that Zhao Er's grandmother has shown mercy, and she is a noble lady with five surnames and seven hopes, and there are two old families of the Li family and the Wang family as backers behind her, it is definitely not something that these little people can offend. But, but she's just not angry, why, doesn't the noble lady have to be reasonable? You know, those shops, granges and houses, but their lord's hard work and hard work, why did Zhao Er's grandmother take them all away as soon as she said a few words?

With resentment in her heart, the Liu family naturally disagreed with today's congratulations, at least before Princess Jingwei and the Ninth Princess appeared, her perception of Wang Qifang was still very bad - hmph, she was just an abandoned woman who was kicked out by her mother-in-law, what kind of young grandmother's score. Separate property? Hmph, presumably the in-laws of the family only looked at the face of the Wang family, so they didn't leave her house, right?

However, when the ninth princess clearly showed that she admired Wang Qifang very much, and regarded Wang Qifang as her best friend and friend, Liu's eyes were full of awe when she looked at Wang Qifang.

Oh my God, their lord is really prescient, this second grandmother Zhao is really amazing, she can actually have a relationship with her sister-in-law Ninth Princess. The ninth princess, not to mention that she, a small person living at the bottom of society, even those high-ranking officials and wives, may not be able to see Her Royal Highness the princess with her own eyes.

It's worth it, it's worth it

Seeing that the ninth princess was holding Wang Qifang's hand affectionately, and the two of them entered the flower hall of the main room with a smile, Liu suddenly felt that the congratulatory gifts she gave just now were too worth the ticket price, and even she had an illusion, well, would it be too light to send those congratulatory gifts?

There are no longer a few people who have the same idea as the Liu family. Especially those who originally had expectations for Wang Qifang, seeing that she could have such a close relationship with the royal family and nobles, they were all excited, and they were busy surrounding Zijuan, who was in charge of reception, and wanted to have a relationship with her.

"The concubine thanked the ninth princess," Wang Qifang let the ninth princess sit at the top, and then bowed respectfully, and said gratefully: "Thanks to Her Royal Highness the princess today, otherwise, the concubine body would really make people laugh." ”

"Hehe, thank you, this palace has said, this palace is not an unreasonable person," the ninth princess raised her hand, signaling Wang Qifang not to be polite, and said with a smile: "You have honored so many good things in this palace, if this palace doesn't even give you decency, isn't it too unreasonable?" Besides, didn't Jingwei's girl also say it just now, you helped the court settle so many seriously injured women's soldiers, not to mention that the third sister appreciates you very much, even if the palace listens, I want to thank you on behalf of the court. ”

"What is the princess talking about, it is also good for the concubines to settle those women's army."

Wang Qifang raised her head and said with a light smile.

"Huh? There are benefits? What are the benefits? ”

When the ninth princess heard this, she was a little puzzled. Although she had not seen those women's soldiers, she heard from the people below that almost all of them were seriously injured, and even if they recovered, their bodies would be disabled...... Taking in a group of disabled people who can't work normally is a painstaking and laborious thing in itself, how can she still say that there are benefits?

Wang Qifang didn't rush to answer, but turned around and pointed to a fish tank on the side of the high table, and said, "Ninth princess, please look, this fish tank is good?" ”

"Huh? Fish tank? The Ninth Princess was stunned, weren't they talking about the placement of the Women's Army, why did they talk about the fish tank again? My heart was full of doubts, but I still followed Wang Qifang's finger to look over, and saw a glass fish tank with a diameter of about one and a half feet on the high table more than one meter high, and a few pebbles were placed at the bottom of the tank......

Wait, why do those goldfish look a little weird?

The Ninth Princess couldn't help but stand up, walked to Gao Ji's side in a few steps, and took a closer look, "Ah, this, these goldfish and aquatic plants are fake?" Is it made of cloth? ”

"Hehe, the Ninth Princess is really well-informed," Wang Qifang also walked closer, reached out and fished out a 'goldfish' from the fish tank, and held it to the Ninth Princess with both hands, "This goldfish is made of leftovers made of clothes by the concubine's body, and there is a bent wire inserted under the fish body, and the wire is also wrapped in light-colored cloth, and it looks like a fish swimming in the water from a distance." ”

"En, it's really exquisite," the ninth princess curiously took the cloth goldfish sewn with orange satin, and then looked at the wire fixed between the pebbles in the fish tank, and nodded with a smile: "Oh, I didn't expect that Qi Niang's hands are quite skillful." This goldfish and aquatic plants are exactly like the real thing, and if you don't look closely, you really can't tell it's fake."

Wang Qifang saw that the ninth princess liked it very much, and she knew that the matter had succeeded, she pursed her lips and smiled, "It's rare that these vulgar gadgets can get into the eyes of the princess, and the concubine will be relieved." ”

"Huh?" The ninth princess was stunned again, she raised her head, and her questioning eyes fell on Wang Qifang's elegant face like a magnolia flower, "Qi Niang, what do you think, don't play dumb riddles, tell the palace directly." ”

"Yes, Ninth Princess," Wang Qifang hurriedly replied, "Just now the Ninth Princess asked her concubines why it was a good thing to accept those women's army. The concubine explained a thing or two to the princess. However, before explaining this matter, the concubine wanted to ask the princess for a favor, and asked the princess for permission. ”

"Grace? Hehe, Wang Qiniang, you finally opened your mouth to ask for the palace? Hearing Wang Qifang's words, the ninth princess was not unhappy, but sat back on the main seat with great interest, waved her hand, and said generously: "Okay, then the palace will listen, if you have something to ask the palace, let's talk about it." As long as you don't violate the laws and regulations of the imperial court, and don't violate the etiquette and morality, this palace will promise you. ”

"That's the case, the concubine wants to open a shop, and beg the ninth princess for permission to allow this shop to pay no taxes," Wang Qifang stood on the side and said seriously. Seeing that the ninth princess frowned slightly, she hurriedly continued to explain: "Of course, this shop is not an ordinary shop, from the shopkeeper to the guys, as well as all the workers in the store, are all taken care of by the retired women's army. In addition to paying for the normal expenses of the store, all the profits obtained will be used to improve the lives of the retired women's army and the welfare assistance of widows and loneliness in the capital——"

"Bengong understands," the ninth princess suddenly realized when she heard this, she looked deeply at Wang Qifang, who had a calm face, and nodded vigorously, "Okay, your request, Bengong agreed." ”

"Princess Xie Jiu's grace," Wang Qifang heard this, and hurriedly curtsied.

"En, now the palace understands everything," the ninth princess shifted her gaze from Wang Qifang to the fish tank on the side, and said with a smile, "Okay, you Wang Qiniang, you are really a smart woman." Yes, those women's soldiers are physically disabled, but they have not lost their ability to live, En, those with injured hands can run errands and look at the shop, and those with injured feet can do needlework.

And these cloth goldfish do not need cumbersome patterns, nor do they need delicate embroidery, just splicing the rags together, even if there is no needlework skills. Not bad, that's good. Do you want to open a shop that specializes in fabric art? Kindness? ”

"I can't hide anything from the ninth princess," Wang Qifang saw that the matter had been done, and the tense heartstrings suddenly relaxed, and she began to have the intention of laughing, she said with a smile: "The concubine is thinking of opening such a shop, collecting some scraps from the major cloth shops in the capital, and the cost is not high, as long as you spend some effort to design a few fresh looks, you can process exquisite puppets or cloth decorations, and then sell them in the shop, so that you can not only properly settle the life of the women's army, but also take out some silver taels to do some good deeds, It's a win-win-win.

In this way, the concubine not only completed the errand assigned by the third princess, but also got a good name, wouldn't this be a benefit? ”

"This can't be done," the ninth princess suddenly shook her head solemnly, "The shop is yours, and all kinds of expenses are also yours, but you get the money but use it to do good deeds, aren't you at a loss?" Kindness? ”

When Wang Qifang heard the ninth princess say 'no', she chuckled in her heart, and thought that she had said something wrong, which made the ninth princess unhappy, but after listening to the latter words, she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart, and said with a little gratitude: "No loss, the concubine can get the trust of the third princess and the ninth princess, and it is already an honor to hand over such a big matter to the concubine, where can we talk about the word loss?" ”

"That's not what I said," the Ninth Princess still shook her head, "Since you are willing to really help us, how can we let you suffer?" You can rest assured, you can do this shop boldly, not only you don't have to pay taxes for this shop, but you don't have to pay taxes for other shops. Moreover, the shop that houses the women's army, you go out of the shop, and the palace and the third sister pay the cost. With the surplus, you leave 40 percent, and the remaining 60 percent are widows and widows in Gyeonggi. Seeing that Wang Qifang was about to refuse, the ninth princess insisted, "Okay, the matter is settled, you don't have to excuse yourself." By the way, what are you going to name this shop? ”

"The concubine thought of one, but she didn't know if it was appropriate or not, and it was called 'unique'"

P: Alas, it has been raining for a week, and a certain sa seriously suspects that if it continues like this, a certain sa will be able to grow mushrooms on his head
