Volume 1 The First Encounter Chapter 29 Picking Provocations
The "sourness" mentioned by the woman in pink naturally refers to Li Jiaoer.
But when she spoke, the "elder sister" in the sapphire blue shirt only looked at the Karakura Pavilion with cold eyes, but it was Qin Le, and the contempt in her eyes was even stronger than the jealousy of the woman in pink towards Li Jiaoer.
"It's just a craftsman, and it's worthy, heh." Sister Ah snorted coldly.
The woman in pink didn't know what Sister Ah thought, but she still nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "That's it, how can she be worthy of Hou Shizi of Anyang?" β
Sister disliked the chicken and the duck, and gave her a blank look.
What if you are worthy of it or not? She is still a three-mediator and six-hired, and she has been ordered by the imperial court, what kind of jealousy does she eat?
Or do you feel jealous, so that the prince can look at her more?
On the other side of the store, Sister A slandered the girl in pink for being naΓ―ve, and she couldn't get used to Qin Le.
In front of the store, Li Jiaoer and Qin Le sent Du Tian out and watched the carriage leave side by side.
Qin Le said with emotion: "His cousin is a talent, but he is much better than him." β
Li Jiaoer knew who she was talking about, so she pursed her lips and smiled, turned back to the store with her, and commented pertinently: "If you talk about personality...... The son of the world treats others very much like him. β
"Where's the like? Qin Le retorted, "If he has the style of treating people like a gentleman, can he still treat you like that?" β
"I'm talking about his character towards people, not about treating me." Li Jiaoer said with a smile.
ββ¦β¦ The more you talk about it, the weirder it becomes, aren't you human? Qin Le smiled and pushed her.
Li Jiaoer was not angry, and said with emotion: "In his eyes, I am not as good as the flowers and plants in the flower garden, and I am indeed not a person." β
"Jiaojiao," Qin Le was anxious and interrupted her, "What nonsense?" β
"Senior sister, I mean really." Li Jiaoer said with a smile, "He has been walking in the temple since he was sixteen years old, and in the past six years, he has done it as an internal guard, a liuguan, a civil minister, and a military general." He was reused by the emperor at a young age, and his actions were not gentle, so he said that when he was on the border in the first half of this year, he cut the two military officers in advance for the grain and grass, and it was useless for His Majesty to be lenient. That kind of person should be very annoying, right? β
"......" Qin Le didn't speakβbecause he didn't understand, and because he rarely listened to such things on weekdays.
Li Jiao'er continued: "But in the past six years, no matter how sharp the murder knife in the hands of the prince is, how high and big the official is, has the senior sister heard of him? Even the elders of the court, the old generals who followed generations of His Majesty to conquer the world, were very convinced of the world. β
"So senior sister said, if he doesn't know how to treat people and things, he doesn't have the style of a gentleman, and he will only be ruthless, why is this so?"
Xue Zhen's affairs are all what Li Jiaoer has heard, and the evaluation is what Li Jiaoer really thinks.
Especially after figuring out what Xue Zhen said and did a few days ago, she couldn't sleep peacefully for the past two nights, thinking back to Xue Zhen from time to time, and feeling that Xue Zhen was actually easy to evaluate.
It's just four words: the inside and the outside are the same.
He didn't even disdain, despise and dislike himself, and he didn't change with the times.
It's really similar to Du Day.
Maybe it's because of a touch of Du family's blood in his body?
Qin Le heard the mystery and mystery, and he was ignorant, and sneered: "You don't blame him again?" Speak to him. β
Li Jiao'er shook her head and said, "I'm not talking to him, senior sister, I think I can learn from him." β
In the past, she only sighed about Xue Zhen's exploits like others, but what she pondered today was behind Xue Zhen's exploits.
"You can pull it down," Qin Le immediately waved his hand, "What's the use of learning that little affection?" β
Li Jiaoer sighed helplessly.
Yes, she said it in vain.
But because Qin Le felt sorry for her.
She didn't mention Xue Zhen alone, and only leaned on Qin Le coquettishly: "Senior sister, I'll go with you this afternoon, since I want to learn our craft well, I should learn it from scratch." β
Qin Le smiled and pushed her: "Don't, that place is in Qingzhuang, I don't dare to take you there." Besides, I am panicked when I hear you say that you are out of the city, Mrs. Shizi has a bad year this year, and any villain dares to come and offend, so you should stay at home. β
Seeing that Li Jiao'er was not convinced, Qin Le continued to persuade: "If you learn our craft, where do you come from to learn to measure?" You're trying to be blind, too. In the afternoon, my grandmother will come to paint the dowry with gold, and there is a new kind of stepping bed to be played by Fu Hanlin's family, and the materials will be selected today. You, just go and give the master a hand, open the material, if you do it badly, you will lose money according to the rules. β
Li Jiao'er laughed out loud, pointed to the room where the master and craftsman were eating, and said, "Senior sister, go and ask, do those masters dare to let me open the material?" A few days ago, I made a medicine cabinet for my father, and they stared at them one by one, for fear that I would break the wood, let alone other people's things? As for the gold carving, I did it, but my grandmother always refused to let me do more, for fear that I would tire my eyes. β
Qin Le smiled proudly and said: "Then I don't care, you said that you want to learn from scratch, then ask the masters to give you a chance, it is still practice." You are also a small proprietor, otherwise if you change the apprentice and enter the door, you will first have to sharpen the blade and saw the edge for a year, serve tea and water, and even the ink line will not let you touch it. β
Li Jiaoer stuck out her tongue at her: "Yes, I listen to my senior sister, then I will go to do chores for the master today." β
"That's right."
While the two of them were talking, they had already walked to the front of the side room, and the young man in front hurriedly chased in, "Little proprietor, the fourth shopkeeper, and there is a distinguished guest in front." β
Li Jiaoer and Qin Le stopped and glanced at each other helplessly.
"What's going on today? The guests are all in a hurry to eat," Li Jiao'er asked, "Who is it?" β
"It's the little lady of the Wang family and the Tan family." Dude said.
King? Tan? Li Jiao'er looked dazed.
She has never heard of the surname Tan in Beijing, and the surname Wang is a big surname, and there is a reputation in Beijing, there are not ten but eight of them, I don't know which one?
However, Qin Le already understood, and pushed Li Jiao'er with a smile and said, "I know who it is, Jiaojiao go to dinner, there is me." β
With that, he and the boy went in.
Li Jiaoer was still muttering in her heart, and when she pushed the door into the side room, Yun Tuan was in the house, looking at the food box.
Seeing Li Jiao'er coming in, she hurriedly opened the food box, and said with a smile: "Miss is here, this meal is going to be cold." I heard from the guy, is the old man of the Du family here? Hey? What about Miss Qin? β
"Another guest came, and she went to the front to greet her." Li Jiao'er sat on the edge of the couch and watched the clouds take out the food.
Yun Tuan waved and said strangely: "Why are you a guest again?" This sincerity doesn't allow people to eat. β
Indeed, Li Jiaoer thought, the distinguished guests have their own expensive reasons, they are carpenter shops, not rice villages, which distinguished guests don't eat at noon and come to visit the carpenter shop?
Du Tian counted his relatives as old, while others ......
Could it be because of her?
Li Jiao'er stood up again and said to Yun Tuan: "Take it first, I'll go to the front to see Senior Sister." β
After that, he was out of the room.
Yun Tuan stomped his foot: "Really, miss, I'm hungry again." β
*
When Li Jiao'er walked to the front, she deliberately slowed down her pace, listened attentively, and sure enough, she heard the voice of a strange young woman in front of her, arrogant and disdainful:
"Shopkeeper Qin, these things in your store are too old, so boring."
Qin Le smiled humbly: "Little lady Wang doesn't know that ordinary people's household furniture and furnishings are always generous and practical. If the little lady wants to look fresh, you can say with the shop that there are a few good craftsmen in the shop, who are very good at design, and very ingenious......
Before she could finish her sentence, another young woman's voice interrupted her and said, "Yo, look at what this shopkeeper means, isn't it just a lie?" Aren't ordinary people worthy of using the ingenious objects of your store? β
Rao is Qin Le can speak well, but she was so choked that she didn't speak for a long time because of her unreasonable words.
Li Jiao'er was already frowning.
Sure enough, you're here to find fault?
Thinking about it, she had already lifted the curtain and said, "Why is Senior Sister still in front?" Ahh
She stood still, glanced at the people in the store, and smiled at the corner of her mouth: "It turns out that there are still customers." β
A woman wearing a royal blue shirt with a lake blue skirt underneath and a golden hairpin is almost the same age as herself, but she is dressed as an unmarried woman; Another woman in pink, wearing a beaded hairpin and silk flower, is fifteen or sixteen years old, very delicate.
The first one Li Jiaoer felt familiar, but she couldn't remember it, and she hadn't seen the latter one at all.
It shouldn't be for her.
Could it be that the senior sister has offended them?
But although Qin Le has a fiery temperament, he has always acted generously and generously to the outside world, how can he offend people?
She was guessing that the woman in blue had already saluted her, and said as if surprised:
"Mrs. Shizi? The little girl has seen Mrs. Shizi, but she didn't know that Mrs. was here, and she was rude. β
The other woman in pink secretly pouted unconvinced, but she also followed the woman in blue to salute, and said, "I've seen Mrs. Shizi." β
The tone was not half respectful.
Li Jiao'er was just a bow, not arrogant, but with the calmness of the superior: "The two girls don't have to be polite, do you recognize me?" β
Qin Le, who was on the side, hurriedly said in a low voice: "Madam, the girl in blue is surnamed Wang, and she is the daughter of Lord Wang, a member of the Ministry of Industry, and the girl in pink is the daughter of Lord Tan, the new director of the Tuntian Division of the Ministry of Industry." β
Ministry of Works?
Li Jiaoer suddenly understood, it turned out that she was not a county official, but a current manager.
She still didn't remember when she had seen Little Lady Wang, she only smiled indifferently and asked gently: "Are the two little ladies coming today to buy ready-made ornaments, or are there any clever things to do?" Name a charter, and I'll help you see it. β
Little Lady Wang's eyes turned tactfully, moved away from Li Jiao'er's face, fell on Qin Le's face, and said with a light smile: "No wonder Qin's shopkeeper has always been arrogant, it turns out that it is because of Mrs. Shizi." β
Qin Le listened to her words and brought Li Jiao'er, he was immediately unhappy, and was about to speak, but Li Jiao'er secretly held her down, and only looked at Wang Xiaoniang with a smile:
"Shopkeeper Qin is my senior sister, and her skills and talent are extremely high, while talented people are reserved and arrogant, which makes a difference. The little lady's official eunuch family should have read a book, right? One word of ceremony, cultivating the mouth and cultivating the heart and cultivating virtue. β
Little Lady Wang's face stiffened for a moment, and then she lowered her gaze: "Yes, the little girl has been taught, it turns out that the Karakutsu Pavilion can make the treasure in the palm of your hand because of this arrogance." It's just that the court was anxious about that matter at that time, and the Clever Pavilion hid and said that he didn't know, but now it has become again, presumably because of the prince and his wife, so he was not willing to be with the family of ordinary officials and petty officials such as me. β
Li Jiao'er raised her eyebrows.
Oh, it turned out to be for the palm of your hand.
