Chapter 15 Door-to-door bargaining
"I heard that the fourth son of the Shi family is a concubine, and he is about the same age as Wanqing, and he has not yet said that he is married." The mother-in-law glanced at her and pointed at her, "You are good friends with their young lady, and you will find an opportunity to walk around more in the past few days to try their style." ”
Layue was stunned for a moment, the whole person was not good, and she could only think after a long time.
She looked at the old lady in front of her in disbelief, almost thinking that she had just hallucinated.
Is my mother-in-law's brain squeezed by the door? Who is the Shi family? Even if Wanqing doesn't have this matter, she is innocent, and it can't reach the threshold of others.
Now that her daughter's innocence has been destroyed, she is still seen by the young lady in the family, how dare she, why is she so embarrassed to propose?
"What? Not happy? It's just to ask how much it will cost you. ”
Layue doesn't want to be beaten out, and Xiaoyun has just established a friendship, not to mention that she wants to rely on that pomegranate dude more in the future.
She tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart, and said, "Mother, this matter, people like the Shi family, their eyes are all on the top of their heads, and our family is still a little worse," she knew her mother-in-law's temper, and in order to avoid quarrels, she hurriedly said, "Wanqing is naturally good, if you don't look at the family alone, where are the four sons of their family worthy of Wanqing?" According to the daughter-in-law, it is better to wait for the city to come back and then say, the city of books is good, this time it will definitely be able to get a fame, get an official and a half-job, and then go to mention it again, isn't it? ”
The mother-in-law was a little moved, obviously pleased by Layue's words, and her voice softened a little, "What you said is the same, but tonight's reputation is clear, I'm afraid that it will ......."
Layue hurriedly promised, "Don't worry, as long as you take care of the people we saw in our family that day, the other daughters-in-law dare to guarantee that nothing will happen." ”
The mother-in-law's face improved, and she pointed to a chair to sit down, with a little dissatisfaction, "Actually, the fourth son of the Shi family is a concubine, and the mother is a rough laundry girl in the house, and she got pregnant while the old lady was drunk and served." These four sons have no status in the family, and they are very stupid if they can't write anything, and Wanqing is not unworthy. ”
Layue was speechless, then you still pushed your own daughter into this person's hands? The son of the concubine is inferior, and he is not capable and stupid, so that even a slave with a certain status can step on it, and marry his daughter to be angry? I really don't know what this old lady thinks.
persuaded her mother-in-law a few more words, made her mind, and promised to move around more these days, and had the opportunity to explore their family, so Layue retired.
As soon as she returned to her yard, Mama Chang came up and said, "Wang Daxian'er is stupid, she can't speak, and she is living in the beggars in the south of the city." ”
Layue instructed to keep an eye on it. Then I told Mama Chang what my mother-in-law meant, and said with a smile, "It saves me from finding a reason to go out, and now it's just the matter of the bright shop." ”
The next day, Layue pinched the point and rushed to make trouble in the shop.
A crowd of people gathered around the noisy shop early in the morning.
Swept over with cold eyes, the shopkeeper nodded to her, and seeing that the two children did not appear in the shop, Layue stood in the crowd with satisfaction.
Watching the shopkeeper Gao laugh with him, he recovered the problem rouge and compensated those people three times.
Then there were the other onlookers.
"How could something go wrong with Xing Ji Rouge?"
"Who knows? Haven't you seen that there are returns every day these days? Some of them have rotten faces and don't know what's going on? ”
"Tsk, I'm afraid there's some unsavory poison in the formula? Don't old people often say that poison can make rouge better and more vivid? ”
"Can't you? Xing Ji rouge has been around for hundreds of years, have you heard of problems? That's a recipe from the old Tang Palace. ”
"That's it, I also believe in the quality of their things, eighty percent of them are due to problems with the raw materials of this batch of goods, or there is something wrong with the production order, and after this period of time, I still have to use their rouge."
Seeing that the people were almost scattered, Layue stepped into the shop.
While looking through the pile of fat powder returned from the counter, I listened to the shopkeeper Gao's drooping face talk about the recent loss of silver, and was about to say a few words of relief.
An uninvited customer suddenly came into the store.
Shi Yunqing, a pomegranate playboy, and the richest man in Yecheng, whose appearance is as bright as the moon and jade, are looking at Layue with a smile that makes the female guests around him look at Layue.
There was a commotion in the crowd.
Layue hurriedly stepped forward to greet her, "Shi Gongzi, why are you here?" Buy rouge? To make you laugh, there has been something wrong with the rouge in the shop recently. ”
"Something went wrong?" Shi Yunqing looked at Layue with a smile, and Layue was weak for a while, "Yunqing has a problem with the person who is making trouble, do you want me to help you check those people?" ”
Layue chuckled in her heart, and a layer of sweat broke out on her back, could he see through it?
"Thank you Shi Gongzi for your kindness," Layue was unhurried, "The small business doesn't dare to work hard for you." ”
She smiled far-fetchedly, for fear that Shi Yunqing would be too enthusiastic about this matter, and if she really went to investigate, she would be embarrassed by then.
So L hurriedly made a mistake and asked, "I don't know who Shi Gongzi wants to buy rouge for?" ”
Looking at Layue's reaction, Shi Yunqing knew that what he expected was not bad, this farce of the rouge shop, I am afraid that it is a good play directed and acted by this lady, but why is it just that he spends money to hire people to spoil his business? This lady behaves strangely, and it is really unpredictable.
But he has never had a holiday with Layue, and he doesn't plan to demolish her. Seeing that Layue asked, he laughed lowly, and said half-jokingly, "Mrs. Xing has a good memory, I just said it yesterday, how to develop and change the sachet, how to ......" He smiled, but there was a little narrowness and wisps in his eyes that seemed to be able to see the sharpness of the bottom of people's hearts, "Xiaoyun turned his hand and paid the sachet first, didn't Mrs. forget the rouge?" ”
Only then did Layue remember that she had promised to give someone a sample of rouge.
Some of them were ashamed and hurriedly apologized.
Shi Yunqing took out a piece of mica note from his sleeve and handed it to Layue, "This is the recipe for the spices in that sachet." ”
Layue took it carefully, swept it slightly, first secretly praised this good font, and then twisted her eyebrows and pointed to a few raw materials to ask what it was, which she had never heard of.
Shi Yunqing leaned over to look at the place she was pointing, and when she got closer, she happened to see the silver ball sachet tied around her wrist, so he thought for a moment and said, "These spices are from the Western Regions, and I can't tell what they look like for a while." He turned back and ordered the servant who had come with him, and then he turned back and said, "It will take about an hour or two to get it, and I have forgotten which box I put this thing in, so wait patiently for him to find it." ”
Seeing that he specially ordered the servant to go home to get it, Layue was a little reluctant to go, "Actually, it doesn't hurt if you don't take it, it will delay Shi Gongzi's time in vain." ”
"Don't delay, I'm here to get rouge today, I don't know when you can give it to me?"
Layue secretly thought when she heard this, the formula given by Shi Gongzi was very detailed, and even the matters to be paid attention to were clearly written on it, without hiding any selfishness, he was really a true gentleman. But the production process of his rouge is written carefully, but I'm afraid he won't be able to do it successfully.
