Chapter 73: Wang Xifeng Xutuoyang Monk (2)
Wang Shanbao's family said: "I also listened to Mrs. Fei, Mrs. Fei listened to the second wife's companion Zhou Rui's maid little magpie, as for where the little magpie came from, no one knows."
Oh, by the way, it was also said that the second grandmother Lian was exchanged for Miss Ping and the third master Lu! ”
Mrs. Xing frowned and said, "Mrs. Fei, why didn't she tell me herself?" Call her in and I'll ask her! ”
Mrs. Fei is also Mrs. Xing's companion. Now in the Rongguo Mansion, Mrs. Xing only has such two confidants.
After a while, Mrs. Fei also came, and Mrs. Xing asked, "Who did you listen to when Feng Yatou exchanged Miss Ping for the method of making soap from Jia Lu?" ”
Fei Pozi replied: "I listened to Wang'er, the little maid of Second Master Lian...... Wang'er said that the second grandmother of Lian was confused, and such a beautiful girl like a flower and jade was given away in vain......"
Mrs. Xing only felt that her brain was buzzing, why did these two people have different calibers?
He waved his hand impatiently and said, "That's it, let's go!" Two useless things, I can't understand the idea of asking about things! Call the phoenix girl and I'll ask herself! ”
The two mothers-in-law agreed and went.
After a stick of incense, Sister Feng came: "Please Mrs. An, Mrs., you call me?" ”
Mrs. Xing snorted and asked, "I heard that you opened a soap shop?" ”
Sister Feng knew that the paper could not hold the fire, and sooner or later it would reach Mrs. Xing's ears, so she smiled and said, "Yes, it's only been open for a few days, and I haven't had time to tell my wife yet." ”
Mrs. Xing sneered: "Is business good?" ”
Sister Feng smiled bitterly: "Where did the people buy the business that has just opened?" It's expensive, where can ordinary people afford it? The rich and noble are not used to it, but they are afraid that they will lose money! ”
Mrs. Xing snorted and asked without smiling, "Why, can such a shrewd person as you still make a money-losing deal?" ”
Sister Feng said: "But isn't it, standing in a shop and taking care of so many people who can't sell the goods, can you not lose money?" ”
"How did I hear your shop is doing well? The people who went were compradors from rich and noble families, and when they bought them, they went back one box after another. ”
Sister Feng smiled bitterly: "Which god is here to spread rumors?" But after selling so many two boxes, people will see it?
It was true that a few more were sold, but they were only one hundred and ten taels of silver. The little money earned is not enough to send to Yuan Chun in the palace......"
Mrs. Xing didn't know what to do when she heard this, and asked, "Give it to Yuanchun?" She still lacks these incense and powder in the palace? ”
Wang Xifeng seemed to be waiting for Mrs. Xing to ask, and hurriedly said: "It's also the idea of the old lady and the second wife, the old lady said that she used this soap well, so it is better to send some to Yuan Chun, and let her scatter around the palace, which is also a personal favor, isn't it?"
lest she be ostracized and looked down upon in the palace. ”
Sister Feng's words are naturally to block Mrs. Xing's mouth, these are the ideas of Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, and they have nothing to do with her, so I don't accept the two theories.
Sure enough, Mrs. Xing was speechless for a while, and after a moment of silence, she said:
"Hmph, what are you talking about, have the old lady and the second wife used the soap you sold? I just heard Brother Lu say that he has used it too. Why didn't I see you send me a piece to use? ”
The implication is that your daughter-in-law doesn't take me as a mother-in-law in her eyes at all!
This is indeed Sister Feng's negligence.
She also thought that she should send a piece to Mrs. Xing for use, but she was afraid that Mrs. Xing would get to the bottom of it when she saw it, and it would be inevitable to talk nonsense.
Later, Jia's mother said that it was wrapped up in her, so Sister Feng didn't take it to heart, and she forgot about honoring Mrs. Xing because of the complicated things.
"I was negligent...... I sent a batch to the palace, and the store didn't have to sell it, but I just made a batch today, and I was thinking about asking someone to send two pieces to my wife. ”
Mrs. Xing snorted coldly: "Since I have just made a batch of them, just send me more, just because I want to give a gift, take a hundred yuan to me!" ”
"Yes." Sister Feng smiled on her face and thought in her heart, Mrs. Xing is really a thief, and she has to scrape some oil and water when she sees anything good.
Mrs. Xing asked again, "I heard that this method of making soap was told to you by Brother Lu?" ”
"Brother Lu?" Sister Feng seemed to hold back a smile: "Who did the eldest lady listen to?" I'm afraid that this person must have an enmity with Brother Lu, right?
Did he make up these words to make his wife annoyed Brother Lu when he saw that his wife was good to Brother Lu?
How could he, a child, know this?
This method of making soap was taught to our Wang family by a Western monk.
Mrs. must also know that our royal family was not in charge of the tribute and congratulations of various countries back then?
All foreigners who come are supported by our family, and all the foreign ships and goods in Guangdong, Fujian, Yunnan, and Zhejiang belong to the Wang family.
Somehow I met such a foreign monk......"
The words were reasonable, and they were full of the superiority of the Jinling royal family as a prestigious family, which made Mrs. Xing feel more and more uncomfortable when she heard it.
"Since that's the case, why hasn't it been made a long time ago, but now I think about it?"
Sister Feng said with a smile: "Mrs. doesn't know, this trick can't be done by knowing the method."
I didn't get it done after trying many times at first, so I didn't take it to heart.
Who would have thought that there was an old family member who didn't give up, and somewhere turned it out again, this time it turned out to be a try!
Mrs. thinks about this kind of good thing, doesn't the palace like it?
When I told the old lady, the old lady said that it was a good idea, so she asked me to open this shop.
Madam, what does this matter have to do with Brother Lu?
I thought which mother-in-law was full of food and had nothing to do with grinding her teeth and chewing maggots, and she made up a lot of words to relieve her boredom. ”
Mrs. Xing said: "Those subordinates are also no different, they always like to talk about the master's words behind their backs, and now the old lady asks you to learn to be a housekeeper, and you can't manage it well!" ”
Wang Xifeng had no choice but to say: "Mrs. is right...... It's just that in the end, I am the new daughter-in-law, and many of the old people in the house are old people who have served for several lifetimes, and they are more decent than me, and there are also my wife and second wife who have married together, how dare I say it?
Don't talk about others, the second wife's companion Zhou Rui's family is the one who likes to gossip the most. ”
"I'm just going to say a word, and you've got three sentences waiting to be picked up here!"
Mrs. Xing's face was difficult to look at, although she was stupid, she could also hear that what Sister Feng said was Zhou Rui's family, but in fact, it was her companion Wang Shanbao's family.
Sister Feng closed her mouth and looked like she was waiting for orders.
At this time, the little girl in Mrs. Wang's house, Yu Chu'er, came to find her, greeted Mrs. Xing, and said to Sister Feng: "Second grandma, the second lady said that the aunt and grandmother over there in Jinling have a letter to arrive, so let you go over." ”
"Got it." Sister Feng said a word, but glanced at Mrs. Xing.
"That's it, you go! Don't forget the soap I asked for this time. Mrs. Xing waved her hand.
