Chapter 030: Big Brother Arrives in Beijing (1)

Belch? That, isn't that Aunt Sue?

Wang Qifang accompanied the ninth princess in ordinary outing clothes from the second floor, raised her eyes and saw a familiar back flashing out of the store, she squinted her eyes and thought for a moment, and suddenly remembered that the back was the Su family who had not been seen for a long time.

"Oh, Wang Qiniang, this palace is considered to have served you, you say, why do you have such a trick?" The ninth princess walked in front of Wang Qifang, she looked at the novel furnishings and goods in the shop with great interest, as well as a few women's soldiers who wore uniform costumes but did not lose their heroic posture, and said with a smile, "Also, the 'sofa' upstairs is very comfortable to sit in the palace, much softer than the low couch, and it is really good to rest on it when you have time." ”

"Hehe, the princess has won the award, and the concubine is just a little idea, and the princess doesn't deserve such praise," Wang Qifang saw that the ninth princess didn't notice her abnormality, so she quietly raised her chin to the Qingfeng sisters who followed behind, and motioned for them to go out and take a look, and see what tricks this Aunt Su wanted to play.

Of course, the ninth princess was in front of her, and she was still talking to her, and her actions were only completed in the blink of an eye, and after Qingyun's petite figure quietly disappeared, Wang Qifang continued to smile, "As for the sofa, it is also made by the little carpenter I worshipped, and the concubine has already instructed them to use the best poplin material, wrap it with the best cotton, and carefully make two sets of sofas with luxurious colors, and send them to you and the third princess's house...... Things are not worth anything, just a little bit of the concubine's heart, and I hope the two princesses will not dislike it. ”

"Don't dislike, don't dislike, hehe, I have long known that you Wang Qiniang is a careful person, and she has always done things safely," the ninth princess nodded with satisfaction, and then walked out of the store, and happened to see the lively tea stall across the street, so she pointed to a few coachmen who surrounded the boss to ask for buns, and said, "I heard Deputy Lieutenant Sun say that this is also your idea?" Kindness? ”

"Yes, our shop is newly opened, and those grandmothers and wives who are familiar with each other, for the sake of the face of the ninth princess, take care of the shop," Wang Qifang still stood respectfully behind the ninth princess, and explained softly: "However, if the shop wants to be bigger, it can't only have so many dozens of customers, but it happens that our shop is far away from the east city center, and it is a new shop, many guests don't know yet, there is a way that 'the smell of wine is also afraid of deep alleys', and the concubine wants to let these coachmen who solicit customers every day help publicize it." The tea stalls on the left and right should also do business, making more steamed buns and pastries, which can not only greet customers, but also encourage those coachmen to bring more customers. ”

"Well, the fragrance of wine is also afraid of deep alleys, it makes sense," the ninth princess nodded thoughtfully when she heard Wang Qifang's words, as if she remembered something, and stood by the carriage in front of the door for a while.

"Princess? The concubine's hot spring Zhuangzi is about to officially open, I don't know when it is convenient for you to play for two days? ”

Wang Qifang quietly followed behind the ninth princess, the two of them were silent for a long time, she saw that the maid of the ninth princess seemed to have something to enlighten the master, but she didn't dare to disturb the master's contemplation, so anxious that her sideburns were sweating, and she looked at herself with a pleading face, so she took the initiative to speak.

"Oh? The hot spring Zhuangzi has also been repaired? When the ninth princess heard this, she came back to her senses, paused slightly, and then nodded and said, "Okay, with such fun things, this palace naturally wants to join in the fun...... Is Jingwei's girl going too? Don't worry, Hongu will help you go to the field. ”

"Concubine Xie Jiu Princess's grace," Wang Qifang hurriedly curtsied, she is not afraid of Princess Jingwei coming to find fault now, since that day after the housewarming, everyone in the capital knows that she Wang Qifang is the third princess and the ninth princess, if Princess Jingwei still wants to find her trouble, then it is not for her, but to slap the two princesses in the face, Hongguoguo's provocation The two most powerful princesses of the Great Zhou.

Princess Jingwei is not stupid, of course she can't do such a thing that hurts others and herself.

Besides, spring is coming next month, and people are busy looking for a husband with wide eyes. The ladies of the capital have long been spread all over the city, saying that Princess Jingwei once made a bold promise that she would find a talented man who is both civil and military, talented and rich, and rich and rich to be a concubine, of course, it would be better if that person was the champion of the new department

And now that the spring is approaching, talented people from all over the country gather in the capital, and those who are active and lively begin to look for opportunities everywhere.

Needless to say, if you have a way, as long as you take a good recommendation letter and a lot of silver tickets, you can go obediently.

Those who have no way out, those who are arrogant, learn from Chen Ziang to wrestle the piano, and create topics and scandals in the downtown to attract the attention of people who cherish talents and love talents in the DPRK and China; The more conservative ones took their poems and texts to look for celebrities and axes......

All in all, in order to squeeze through the narrow dragon gate, all the scholars used all their tricks.

Of course, their efforts were not in vain, and at least some of them attracted attention, that is, the families of the women to be married in the capital.

These people have different objects of concern according to their respective families and identities. Like those royal relatives and relatives, most of them pay attention to those scholars who are well-born and talented, while those who are small and narrow families pay attention to those scholars whose families are innocent and stable.

As for how to assess whether these scholars are talented or not, in addition to next month's Spring Festival, those people with ulterior motives also have their own methods. Today a flower appreciation party, tomorrow a spring garden, the day after tomorrow a poetry competition, a variety of names, pattern renovation, to the noisy capital to add a bit of elegance and spring.

Among the many gatherings called the Poetry Race Society, which is actually a blind date banquet, the most showy is the Su Lang, who is known as the 'Four Absolute Talents'. If you want to talk about Su Lang, he really has a bit of limelight capital, he looks like a jade tree in the wind, a talent, and makes a good poem, writes a good hand, and can stroke a few songs in his spare time, he is really a veritable talent. The most critical point is that they are still single aristocrats, and they seem to have become the darlings of the upper class society in the capital.

Of course, such a talented person, an ordinary girl is thinking about it, because Su Lang's body has long been labeled by Princess Jingwei, and now it may be a promise, just after Su Lang is named on the gold list, the two will be married.

"No, although Su Lang is beautiful now, after all, he has not won the top prize, how can Aunt Su run out?"

Wang Qifang thought wildly, and finally thought of the familiar back just now.

Although she left the Zhao Mansion, she still knew a lot about the movements in the backyard of the Zhao Mansion. Since Zheng Sanniang moved out of the house, she acted like a housewife and moved into the peony garden early. is also strict with Zhao Tianqing's concubine, and she lets those aunts and roommates follow her to make rules at every turn, even those who have been sick for a long time and are pregnant.

I heard that for this reason, Aunt Su also made trouble for a while, and secretly scolded Zheng Sanniang for being just a concubine, how can she put up a score that is more powerful than a serious second young grandmother? It's a pity that when Aunt Su fell out of favor for a long time, not to mention that Zhao Tianqing would not look at her, even Mrs. Zhao would not look at her squarely. If she hadn't given away the shares of Mrs. Zhao's shop behind her back, I am afraid that Zheng Sanniang would have been squeezed out of the Zhao family long ago.

According to this statement, Aunt Su should be serving Zheng Sanniang in the Peony Garden now, why did she run to the East Market? And came to her shop on purpose?

"Okay, don't be too polite," the ninth princess got into the carriage with the support of the maid, and before leaving, she said to Wang Qifang through the window: "You do errands for the palace and the third sister, we will not treat you badly." The third sister will arrive in Beijing in two days, and at that time, there will be a great reward for you, so you can wait for your life in peace."

A great reward? Wang Qifang was stunned for a moment, she saw the ninth princess get into the carriage, and hurriedly walked to the side of the car window, "The concubine sends off the ninth princess"

What is the great reward? Also, she didn't do anything special except to help the third princess settle the women's army, how could she get this great reward?

Wang Qifang looked at the carriage that was gradually moving away in a daze.

……

Ping'an Fang, West Lane.

After Wang Qifang sent off the nine princesses, she saw that there was nothing big in the shop, and then took the carriage back to Ping'anfang.

When I entered the second courtyard, I heard the voices of Mama Sun and Xiaoya in the West Chamber. Wang Qifang stood in the courtyard and listened attentively, Mama Sun was telling the little girl the rules.

"Second young grandmother?"

Ziyuan followed behind, and when she saw Wang Qifang listening intently, she reminded in a low voice, "Listen to the little girl next to the eldest lady, Grandma Sun is very strict, and she has punished the eldest lady." ”

"Who said that? Is it that little button? ”

Wang Qifang paused when she heard this, and then saw Ziyuan nodding and frowning slightly. Mama Sun is a nurturing grandma specially invited by her aunt, and she was invited mainly because she was not in Beijing at that time, and she was worried that there would be no one around Xiaoya to take care of her, so she protected Xiaoya in the name of 'upbringing'.

Later, after she returned to the capital, she also carefully observed Mama Sun and found that this old palace maid who retired from the palace, although she was a more rigid person, was not bad at heart, and she was well-read and well-versed in various etiquette norms of the upper class, so she was the best candidate for raising grandma.

It's just that Mama Sun has not received her great kindness, and Wang Qifang can't fully trust her. Until they moved out of the Zhao family, the Xia Kemeng also sent all the background information of Mama Sun, Wang Qifang had a detailed understanding of Mama Sun, knowing that she did not marry after leaving the palace, and there were no relatives in her hometown, and some were also distant relatives of the side branches, so she couldn't go to it at all, she just wanted to save more money for the elderly while she could still move.

Knowing this, Wang Qifang had an idea, and specially found Grandma Sun, promising that as long as she had a good birth and upbringing the Yuan Niang and the young mother, he would allow her to choose one of the little maids in the family to be her adopted daughter, and Wang Qifang would come forward to find her a son-in-law in the future, and send her to the end of her life.

Mama Sun was worried that she would have no one to take care of her when she was old, and no one would pay tribute after a hundred years, but after hearing Wang Qifang's words, she was very excited. Busy with his statement, he will definitely raise the two young ladies well, and he will teach them to be famous ladies, how to do it.

Wang Qifang believes that her promise is tempting enough, and naturally believes that Grandma Sun will sincerely raise her daughter, but someone beat her little report behind her back, well, it's time to change the girl next to Xiaoya

At this time, a familiar voice sounded from behind:

"Qi Niang, Qi Niang, the eldest young master has sent a letter, saying that he will arrive in Beijing soon"

Mama Zhao smiled and ran in from the weeping flower door with a letter.

P: Roar, Dafeng push, this is the first watch, there are two watches and three watches in the afternoon, and you will support you a lot
