Chapter 065: Adding fuel to the fire (1)
"Aunt Su, Mrs. and the second young master have already entered the peony garden, and as soon as they entered the door, they asked their subordinates to close the courtyard door, and after a while, the voice of the second young master roared inside."
Xiuzhu hurriedly walked in from outside the house, and after sending away the two little girls who were waiting in the house, she whispered in Aunt Su's ear.
"Yes, that's good." Aunt Su gritted her teeth and nodded, this is right, it is not in vain that she is desperate to play the 'bitter meat plan'. Now that she sees that her strategy has been reduced, she has successfully provoked the anger of Mrs. Zhao's mother and son, and her father-in-law Zhao Tianqing has taken the anger in her heart to the extreme, Aunt Su is very satisfied with this result.
However, thinking of Wang Qifang, who was not far from the capital, Aunt Su's eyes flashed with cruelty, and she lowered her voice and explained: "Xiuzhu, you go to do three things now." First, quickly send someone to the palace of the king's guest, grasp the matter of being framed and unfortunate miscarriage and tell my sister 'emphasis', so that she had better call the princess Jingnan and the eldest princess who had just befriended to come to the mansion to talk together;
Second, I brought the ruby necklace with red gold twisted water ripples from my jewelry box and sent it to my aunt's wife, and also told her about my miscarriage, and reminded her that the reason why I had a miscarriage was completely caused by Wang Qifang's slut, and now my wife and the second young master have known the truth and are punishing Diao Nu in the peony garden;
Third, check that the stinky girl who helped me read the tonic at noon was in the hands of the housekeeper's mother...... Since she likes to run around so much, then don't stay in the house, give her a spacious place to wander around."
When she said the last few words, Aunt Su's eyes were glowing with coldness, and her tone was even more cold and terrifying
Xiuzhu has followed Aunt Su for so many years, of course she knows where she means by 'spacious place'. At the thought of going to help Aunt Su do some dirty things again, she couldn't help but shudder. Somehow, Wang Qifang suddenly flashed in her mind and said with a smile, 'I'm old, I should be a good person'......
Well, if, she said if, let the second young grandmother know that she was fueling the whole thing, and I don't know how she would be punished
Thinking of the appearance of Amethyst when she just returned home, Xiuzhu's heart fluttered and jumped.
"Huh? What's wrong? What are you doing stupidly, why don't you go on an errand soon? ”
Aunt Su finished her words in one breath, but she didn't wait for the expected response, turned her head to look, but found that Xiuzhu was staring at a corner of the yard and was stunned, she followed Xiuzhu's line of sight, and found nothing, she knew that this dead girl didn't listen to her words at all, and she was annoyed in her heart, this dead girl, I don't know what's wrong recently, since Yuzhu's slut betrayed her, Xiuzhu has also become eccentric, and she is full of reluctance to tell Xiuzhu to do something.
Hmph, if she hadn't been able to find a candidate to replace Xiuzhu for the time being, she would have sold this girl who had no master in her heart
"Yes, yes, slave and maid will go"
Xiuzhu was woken up by Aunt Su's reprimand, she hurriedly pulled her wandering gaze back, but inadvertently caught the ruthlessness that flashed in Aunt Su's eyes...... Eh, this look is too familiar to her, and when Aunt Su wants to harm people, she will have this kind of brilliance in her eyes. However, now there is no other person in the house, and he has just been distracted by dereliction of duty, which has annoyed Aunt Su, is it ......
Xiuzhu chuckled in her heart, and a very bad premonition hit her body.
"Wait, do you know what to do? Repeat to me."
Aunt Su glanced at the panicked Xiuzhu and asked angrily.
"Back to Aunt Su, the slave maid has to do three things, the first ......"
Xiuzhu stabilized her mind and tried her best to restore her former capable and shrewd side. I have to say that Xiuzhu is indeed not an ordinary girl, but after a moment of effort, she controlled her emotions that were almost out of control, and repeated Aunt Su's words just now in a clear manner, and there was no mistake in every word.
"Well, that's right," Aunt Su bowed her head with satisfaction, "Go ahead, hurry up and finish the errand, I have other things for you to do here."
Well, it's time to train new people, this Xiuzhu really can't be kept.
Aunt Su watched Xiuzhu's mellow figure fade out of sight, and secretly went through the girls around her, trying to pick out two or three capable ones, so that Xiuzhu could teach well, and after teaching the students, Xiuzhu, the teacher, could retire with honor.
And Aunt Su didn't know that Xiuzhu was also thinking about her little abacus at the moment. As usual, she walked out of the inner room with steady steps, and as soon as she came to the outer courtyard, she hurriedly hid in the corner, looked around, and after there were no outsiders, she covered her thumping chest and gasped hard—
"Huh~~, what should I do? Isn't it time to leave a way out? ”
Lingxian, Fangfei Hot Spring Manor.
"Second young grandmother, is there something big going on in the house? Do you need help from Qian? ”
Qian Zhixin saw that after Wang Qifang read the letter, his face was full of solemnity, so he asked with concern.
"Oh? It's okay, it's okay," Wang Qifang suddenly remembered that there were outsiders in the study when she heard Qian Zhixin's voice, she hurriedly folded the note and put it in the drawer of the desk, and then said to Liu Yingniang with a smile: "Captain Liu has worked hard, I don't have anything to do here, you go down first...... Wait, you go to Beiyuan and invite Young Master Li Jingzhong here."
"Yes"
Although she wondered what Wang Qifang just said about 'business', in line with the nature of a soldier, Liu Yingniang still hugged her fists without hesitation after hearing her master's order.
"Second young grandmother, we are not outsiders, you don't need to be polite, if you encounter any difficulties, although Qian is not talented, but you can also make some efforts, I don't know-" Qian Zhixin saw that there were no outsiders in the study, so he got up and arched his hand.
"Hehe, it's really fine, it's just that a concubine in the house has a miscarriage, it's okay," Wang Qifang suppressed a trace of uneasiness in her heart and raised a light smile, "Still don't talk about me, didn't Second Young Master Qian ask me to help think of an idea to make money just now?" Hehe, don't say it, let the captain of my escort team remind me, I really came up with an idea. However, this business doesn't look big, and it's a business that specializes in women, I don't know if Second Young Master Qian can see it? ”
"Oh? What business? Qian Zhixin saw that Wang Qifang didn't want to talk about his private affairs, and he was not a big man to listen to it, so he had to follow Wang Qifang's meaning and change the topic.
"High Heels"
As she spoke, Wang Qifang took out a piece of white rice paper from the desk, touched a homemade quill, dipped it in some ink, and drew on the rice paper a shoe similar to the 'wrong end' used in the Song Dynasty to wrap feet, with a high upper and a wedge heel sole, which looked small and exquisite.
"Huh? Are these shoes? ”
Qian Zhixin was surprised at first when he saw Wang Qifang drawing some simple lines on the paper with a strange thin stick. In a few moments, the line became a simple but vivid drawing, and the figure on the paper, although weird, could guess the purpose. Eh, this shape should be a shoe, right?
"That's right, it's the shoes"
Wang Qifang nodded.
The Great Zhou Dynasty followed some of Li Tang's service customs, and most of the women's shoes were high-toed shoes or pointed-toe boots matched by Hufu, and of course, there were also straw shoes and cloth shoes made of grass or coarse cloth for poor people. But there are really few shoes like the one in Wang Qifang's painting that are beautifully embroidered and have high heels.
"Second young grandmother, it's not that Qian doesn't believe you, it's just that this kind of shoes are made, whether and whether they are ......"
Qian Zhixin touched his chin and thought for a long time, and he didn't pay much attention to this strange style of shoes.
You must know that in Da Zhou, wearing a gorgeous skirt, the matching shoes must be dignified and high-headed, so that it will look rich and atmospheric. Ruo, if it was a beautiful noblewoman, wearing a golden silk hairpin dress, but wearing small shoes on her feet that couldn't even show the toe of her shoes, Qian Zhixin shook his head, he really couldn't imagine it.
"That's it, the second young master first ordered someone to make a pair of such shoes according to my drawing, the size, just according to Mei Niang's feet, after the shoes are ready, you let Mei Niang change into it and walk for you, you will know the wonders"
It's not that Wang Qifang is stubborn, but she believes that this kind of high-heeled shoes definitely has selling points for women.
In fact, the shoes painted by Wang Qifang are not the high-heeled shoes of later generations, more precisely, they are from the Song Dynasty's 'wrong to the end', of course, she painted this shoe, naturally not to encourage women to wrap their feet, but to borrow the style of this shoe, so that the women of the Great Zhou Dynasty have more style.
To be honest, as a woman with a modern soul, Wang Qifang despised the bad habit of foot binding, and when she first came to Da Zhou, she was extremely glad that she did not wear the Ming and Qing dynasties where foot binding was prevalent. However, contempt is contempt, Wang Qifang still has to admit that the woman with bound feet does have a swaying style of weak willows and wind when she walks. In her previous life, Wang Qifang also wore modern high heels, and naturally understood that walking in high heels is indeed more stylish than walking in flat shoes or sneakers
Well, foot wrapping is discouraged, so it's okay to wear high heels.
Wang Qifang believes that as long as Qian Zhixin sees Mei Niang's appearance after changing her high heels, with his shrewdness, he will definitely be able to explore the hidden business opportunities inside.
"Okay, okay"
Qian Zhixin saw that Wang Qifang was so confident, so he had no choice but to nod in convincing, and when he was ready to go back, he asked the girl accompanying the lady to make a pair of shoes according to this drawing.
After sending away the letter of money, Wang Qifang turned back into the study, took out the note again, and looked at it carefully.
At this time, Li Jingzhong also arrived, and after hearing Wang Qifang's greeting of 'please come in', he walked into the study.
I saw him standing respectfully in front of the huge desk, and arched his hand and said, "Second young grandmother, do you have any instructions for your subordinates?" ”
"Hall Master Li, I want to trouble you with something
