Chapter Ninety-Nine: Good Concubine
After the matter of the shop is resolved, there are still some follow-up effects. After all, the shop was sealed for three days.
Although, the government later sent someone to briefly explain the matter------ the scholar was instructed by others to deliberately eat bad things for the sake of profit to frame the shopkeeper.
However, the flow of people in the shop is still a lot less, and the business is also lighter, the most obvious manifestation is that there are many fewer people --- buy dim sum.
Jiang Zhixia didn't care too much about this at this time.
She had seen the shop's ledgers. Not counting those fixed costs, at least it's still profitable. As for the fixed costs----- houses and decorations, as well as those tables, chairs, appliances and the like, it is estimated that they will not be able to recover their costs in a short time.
So, you can only look at the costs of those flows. Because of those lonely books, it is very attractive to some students. The price of the lone manuscript copied by the students who copied the book was also very good.
After that, Jiang Zhixia basically handed over the business in the shop to Boss An, and she only went to Hanwenxuan to check the accounts in the middle of the month and at the end of the month.
Therefore, Jiang Zhixia, who had nothing to do, started a leisurely life again. Practice calligraphy at home, read books, think about recipes, and always pay attention to the growth of peppers. When inspiration comes, draw jewelry patterns and so on.
Just when Jiang Zhixia felt that he was living a fairy-like life, he was interrupted by a matchmaker who came to the door.
I don't know if it was last year, Jiang Zhixia refused to say that she was in ---- several times in a row, especially the marriages of various families mentioned to her by the enthusiastic Zhu matchmaker. At that time, it gave her a headache for a while. However, later, Mrs. Zhu saw that she was really refusing, so she stopped kissing her.
Therefore, those matchmakers who exchanged news also knew that Jiang Zhixia didn't want to get married. Therefore, after the Chinese New Year, there are obviously fewer people who come to her to tell her matchmaking. In the past two months, no matchmaker has come to the door.
This time, the matchmaker actually came, although it was a private media.
"Girl, the old woman's surname is Xu." The matchmaker introduced herself with a smile.
"Aunt Xu." Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling person, Jiang Zhixia also said politely.
After both sides sat down, Jiang Zhixia politely asked knowingly, "I don't know if Aunt Xu came over today, but what's the matter?" ”
"Today, I have come to tell the girl a great joy." Mrs. Xu said with an exaggerated smile, as if there was really a great good thing.
Jiang Zhixia smiled indifferently.
Wasn't the rejection thorough enough? If it weren't for Mrs. Zhu, even after knowing that she was difficult to have children, she would still tirelessly mention her as a step-family. She really wants to make her difficult to have children public, so as to prevent the propose.
"The girl is a good woman, she is knowledgeable, and she is the third master of the Hou Mansion, and she wants to accept the girl as a good concubine. Specially, let me come to the door to say goodbye. Mrs. Xu said with a smile.
"Good concubine?" Jiang Zhixia sneered and said, aren't these matchmakers claiming to exchange news? That princess didn't tell her that she wasn't a concubine?
"Exactly. Chengenhou Mansion, that is the queen's maiden home. It's a truly superb noble home. Mrs. Xu said exaggeratedly.
Only then did Jiang Zhixia notice that it was the Chengenhou Mansion. After thinking about it carefully, the matchmaker was talking about Liu Sanye, isn't that the queen's cousin Liu Wenli?
Why did this person suddenly appear and take himself as a concubine?
Jiang Zhixia muttered secretly in his heart, it was really troublesome. She has only seen this Liu Sanye three times, and she has never seen Liu Sanye have any special meaning to her these three times, this concubine is really inexplicable.
Either way, though, it's good to refuse.
So, she said to Mrs. Xu, "I'm tired of my aunt running errands." However, the little girl is only shallow in her studies, and her appearance is plain, so she is not worthy of being a good concubine of Liu Sanye. Please push it. ”
The matchmaker Xu was stunned by Jiang Zhixia's direct refusal.
They all have contacts with each other in the private media in the capital, so they naturally know that Jiang Zhixia is unwilling to be a concubine. However, the person before was just a man from the sixth grade, and there was no comparison with a noble family like the Chengenhou Mansion.
Although, Liu Sanye is a concubine. However, he is the eldest son of Master Liu San, and Master Liu San is a descendant.
Not to mention, Liu Sanye also gave the title of a good concubine here, indicating that he still likes this girl.
"The old body naturally knows that the girl has great ambitions. However, the Chengenhou Mansion is not an ordinary family, it is the queen's mother's maiden home, a super-grade noble family," Mrs. Xu only thought that Jiang Zhixia had not heard about the mansion of the proposed relatives before, so she reiterated the dignity of the Chengenhou Mansion again, "Liu Sanye is very fond of the girl. Personally ask the old woman and me to tell the girl to match. To put it mildly, people like the Cheng'en Marquis Mansion accept concubines, but ordinary people can't get into a high threshold like them. ”
In order to convince Jiang Zhixia of the importance of the matter, Mrs. Xu exaggerated a little.
Jiang Zhixia found that this Xu matchmaker is really exaggerated.
"What does that have to do with me?" She didn't want to be perfunctory, "Please tell Liu Sanye that I am not worthy." ”
Although Jiang Zhixia wanted to directly say that he would not be a concubine, but after all, he was a nobleman, so he still had to speak tactfully.
"I'm tired of running errands." After Jiang Zhixia finished speaking, he raised his voice and shouted, "Xiao Man, come here." ”
After Xiao Man hurriedly ran in, Jiang Zhixia took out a purse and handed it to Mrs. Xu, and then said: "This is the errand money for the eldest lady, please take it and drink some tea." ”
After finishing speaking, she didn't want to say anything more, so she left under the pretext of leaving and asked Xiaoman to send Mrs. Xu.
After Mrs. Xu left Jiang Zhixia's house, she was naturally a little unhappy.
Although she is a private media, most people are afraid that they will talk nonsense about their family affairs when they walk the streets, and they are polite to them.
Just this girl, you're welcome.
However, after she opened the purse given by Jiang Zhixia, she couldn't help laughing again. The heavy copper plate of 500 wen. Nothing was done, so he gave 500 wen for running errands.
The princess didn't even say anything about it, probably because she was afraid that she would rob this generous customer, right?
While complaining in her heart about the cunning old pious woman Wang Po, Mrs. Xu walked towards the corner gate next to the back door of the Chengenhou Mansion.
After arriving at Jiaomen, he asked the mother-in-law of Jiaomen to inform Fushun beside Liu Sanye, saying that he was looking for him.
The mother-in-law took the ten cents given by Mrs. Xu, and muttered in her heart that this mother-in-law really slammed the door, while still walking to the front yard.
After seeing Fushun, he smiled and told Mrs. Xu that she wanted to see him.
Fushun followed her mother-in-law to the back door to meet Mrs. Xu.
"Brother Shun, the old body is here to return to life." When Mrs. Xu saw Fushun, she hurriedly whispered.
"Aunt Xu, come in with me. Don't talk nonsense. Fushun admonished.
This Xu matchmaker is a relative of Fushun's sister's in-law's family. Fushun's sister was released as a slave by the grace of her master, married into a commoner family outside the house, and became a good citizen.
Mrs. Xu is a private media who walks the streets. As a matchmaker, he is naturally able to speak well, so he followed his sister's relationship and climbed to Fushun.
This time, Liu Sanye wanted to find a private media to take a concubine, so Fushun thought of this Xu matchmaker.
"Nature, nature." Mrs. Xu replied with a stack of voices.
This was the first time she had stepped into the mansion of the Xungui family.
Look, the mother-in-law at the back door is dressed better than her, and the inside of that house can't look like a fairyland?
Mrs. Xu followed Fushun tremblingly through the back garden, passed through several doors, and finally arrived at the door of Liu Wenli's study in the front yard.
