Within a few days, Ye Qiong received a message from Gu Congyan, saying that the Yun family had promised to meet her in Hongbin Building.

The first floor of Hongbin Building is open to ordinary people, the second floor is specially used for banquets for dignitaries, and the third floor is the most secluded and elegant, specially designed for entertaining female guests.

When the Yun family arrived, Ye Qiong had already waited in Hongbin Building early, and when she saw Mrs. Yun coming, she instructed Xiao Er: "The autumn rain is lingering, let's give Mrs. Yun a cup of apricot pear tea first." ”

Madame Yun raised her eyebrows slightly.

Even though Gu Congyan told her about Ye Qiong's personality several times, she had also dealt with Ye Qiong when she was ordering clothes in Qiluo Building, but she still thought that it would be Ye Qiong's mother Xie who would come today, and no matter how bad it was, it was Ye Qiong's sister Ye Yao.

After all, Ye Qiong is only twelve years old now, but she doesn't look like someone who can negotiate with her on behalf of the Ye family.

The steaming apricot pear tea was quickly sent up, and was personally brought to Mrs. Yun by Ye Qiong to put it down, Ye Qiong said: "I remember from the wild goose that my aunt likes the sweetness of Sydney, so I also borrow flowers to offer Buddha." Aunt can taste this apricot pear tea and still enter it? If you can't get into the mouth, it's easy to relieve the cold. ”

Mrs. Yun's originally frowning brows soothed a little, and her heart was very ironed.

can remember her habit that Gu Congyan said casually, and use it to "borrow flowers to offer Buddha", the other party seems to be a careful person.

Xiao Er sent tea, and when he saw that everyone was there, he asked with a smile: "Do the two guest officers want to order food later, or do you want to order it now?" ”

Ye Qiong said: "Auntie, let's order a few things to prepare in advance, and I'll follow my aunt." ”

Mrs. Yun bowed slightly, the second girl in the third room of the Ye family was indeed quite polite, and she looked more mature than her.

Thinking like this, Mrs. Yun ordered a few signature dishes first, and then ordered the rest after chatting, and after ordering the dishes, she took a sip of the apricot pear tea at hand and said, "Second Miss Ye, since you have met me through Congyan, then I will ask straight to the point, did you take the initiative to let the Gu family become a shareholder, do you really want Qiluo Lou to have a backer, or is there another purpose?" ”

This question was asked sharply, Ye Qiong did not answer directly, but first confidently asked Steward Chen, who was following him, to hand over a few booklets and put them on the table: "Before I answer this question, why don't Mrs. Yun take a look at these booklets first?" ”

Mrs. Yun glanced at it, and the booklet that was placed on top was the booklet that would be distributed to each guest in the Qiluo Building, and the guests of different identities got different booklets, she had been to the Qiluo Building, and naturally she had seen it.

It's just a booklet that every guest in Qiluo Building can see, so Mrs. Yun didn't refuse, she reached out and took down the booklet on the top first, and looked at it, and her eyes lit up when she saw it.

This booklet is different from what Mrs. Yun has seen in Qiluo Building, Ye Qiong bound up the booklet for all the guests and gathered it into this one, in this book, the guests of Qiluo Building are gradually subdivided, there are separate for the female dependents of merchants, and there are also for high-ranking officials and nobles, and even the female dependents of the official family are divided into two ways, and subdivided into two ways of famous families and cold families, and even carefully note the dress taboos and social contacts of each family, which is very detailed.

Mrs. Yun raised her eyes and glanced at Ye Qiong in surprise, but Ye Qiong just sat there quietly, drinking tea with her eyes down.

Mrs. Yun secretly wondered how Ye Qiong knew about the privacy of so many families, but thinking about it, Ye Qiong's mother was from the Xie family, and the status of the Xie family in the capital was not low......

Mrs. Yun felt that she had found the answer, and looked at Ye Qiong with a smile in her eyes.

Ye Qiong knew that Mrs. Yun had probably found the answer by herself.

This is very good, because in fact, Ye Qiong's understanding of the relationship between the Jingzhong family comes from the memories of her previous life.

When she was in the palace of the Queen Mother, she occasionally met the wife to meet the Queen Mother, and she saw a lot, and she could get a glimpse of the relationship between the families in Beijing and the middle of the country, and after she married into the Korean government and officially joined the circle of noblewomen in Beijing, these intricate relationships became the knowledge she must learn and skillfully use, otherwise maybe a very ordinary word can offend a certain lady, and she will not be able to mix in the circle of noblewomen.

Mrs. Yun turned back again, this time turning to a few pages made of small pieces cut from various kinds of fabrics, the fabrics were varied and colorful, several of which Mrs. Yun had never heard of at all, and there were several that she couldn't help but rub repeatedly, and she liked this booklet even more in her heart.

Turning it back, it is a few ready-to-wear drawings drawn by Ye Qiong or Ye Yao, and discussed with Ye Qiong and the tailor, many of which are styles that Mrs. Yun has never seen, and there are additions to Ye Qiong's and Ye Yao's painting skills.

The last few pages of the ready-to-wear drawings are a light color, and the women in the paintings are mostly looking up at the moon or holding a lantern in their hands. Mrs. Yun knew that these pages should be several ready-to-wear drawings prepared by Qiluo Lou for the Shangyuan Festival. A different light color gives people a beautiful impression, the ready-to-wear in these pages is either charming or playful, and Mrs. Yun has no idea that light colors can also make such patterns.

After thinking about it a few times in her heart, Mrs. Yun looked at the second booklet with anticipation, and the word "account book" was clearly written on this one. Mrs. Yun's heart jumped, and she asked Ye Qiong: "Second Miss Ye, you are so generous to let me see the account book of Qiluo Building?" ”

Ye Qiong smiled confidently: "Qiluo Lou didn't do anything bad, so naturally he was not afraid of people checking the accounts." What's more, I believe in myself, and I will be able to convince my aunt to join the shares today. It is also my sincerity to let my business partners check their accounts in advance. ”

Mrs. Yun smiled at Ye Qiong's calmness and heartiness, but she somewhat understood why her daughter got along so well with Ye Er.

With this confidence and sincerity, Miss Ye Er is a person who can be friends.

Mrs. Yun no longer shirked, reached out and flipped through the account book, and frowned as soon as she flipped through it.

After calculation, Qiluo Lou didn't make much money, but Mrs. Yun noticed that when Ye Qiong let the account room keep accounts, she would always note what turmoil happened today, and in the next few days after each turmoil, Qiluo Lou had no income, but except for such a few days, even when Qiluo Lou only had a list of rich and noble people, Qiluo Lou's income could be regarded as a huge profit.

After all, the title of "unique" is indeed too attractive.

Madame Yun put down the account book and picked up the last booklet.

There is no mark on this one, but it is the one that surprised Mrs. Yun the most after opening it.

Ye Qiong recorded in detail the main business direction of the monthly garment store, and selected different activities according to the seasons and festivals, such as the recent winter solstice and the New Year's Festival, and then the Shangyuan Festival, so it is the most detailed. For example, one of them is to cooperate with the Xie family's gold and silver shop, and the value of the ready-to-wear purchased in the Qiluo Building reaches one tael, and a small red envelope is given, and a small purse with gold bills is given to five taels, and ten taels is a pair of shrimp bracelets full of gold, and so on, step by step.

When Mrs. Yun finished reading the booklet, her face had already put away her previous slackness, and she said with a smile: "Second Miss Ye is really good!" It is difficult to think of such a business method without prosperity. ”

"Auntie, if you agree to invest in the shares today, this shop will be prosperous, and there will be a share of the Gu family in the future." Ye Qiong smiled, "You also saw from the bill that all the Ye family needs is a backer." ”

Mrs. Yun bowed her head, but still asked cautiously: "Dare to ask who has been reaching out to Qiluo Lou?" ”

"My aunt may not know that my eldest aunt married into the Wen family of Huaienhou Mansion, and she is Mrs. Huaienhou." Ye Qiong watched Mrs. Yun's face change rapidly, and then said, "Her daughter and aunt should know that she is the side concubine of the third prince. In the previous case of my Ye family, the third prince was anxious to get rid of the connection with the Ye family, and he wanted to severely punish the Ye family but was reprimanded by His Majesty, that is, at that time, we were in the way of others. ”

Yun slapped the table angrily, and tea splashed for a while: "I know the affairs of your family, your father and eldest uncle are still in prison. You're just opening a shop and eating a lot, why is it in the way of their eyes? ”

Ye Qiong's heart moved.

Although there should be Gu Congyan's marriage, Mrs. Yun's righteous indignation at this time is not fake.

No wonder she was able to raise a daughter like Gu Congyan, and Mrs. Yun turned out to be a righteous person.

Ye Qiong persuaded each other in a timely manner: "Auntie, don't be angry, that kind of person is not worth it." I heard that Wen Lei, the prince of Huai'en Hou, has been judged by the imperial doctor to be lame in the future, which can be regarded as retribution. ”

Yun's eyes flashed.

After the polo meeting, she had been busy setting up a marriage for Gu Congyan, and she was afraid that Gu Congyan was still sad about the affairs of the Huaienhou Mansion, so she ordered that the mansion was not allowed to mention the Wen family, but she didn't know that Wen Lei was lame.

When Ye Qiong just spoke, she deliberately bit the accent on the word Shizi.

Yes, Wen Lei's kid made a scandal of daytime peaches, and now his leg is lame again, and he is no longer qualified to be a son of the world.

The Wen family is not only the descendants of the Marquis of Huai'en, but also has several biological brothers and cousins, all of whom are eyeing the title of the Marquis of Huai'en.

Yun laughed, looked at Ye Qiong's gaze more kindly, and said affectionately, "Okay, I'm not angry." Let your maid take out the paper, ink, pen and inkstone, and we will set the paperwork, I will invest in three thousand taels, and you only need to divide my three percent of the profits, how about it? ”

"Three thousand taels?" Steward Chen screamed out in a faux puff.

Rao is Ye Qiong was also very surprised.

Her shop, counting the decoration, purchase, and purchase of materials after that, only cost 3,000 taels before and after, which is too much.

"Auntie, three thousand taels is too much, and my shop adds up to less than three thousand taels, one thousand taels is fine." Ye Qiong said solemnly.

Yun smiled.

She originally wanted to help a little more, and she also thanked Ye Qiong for taking care of Gu Congyan, and told her about the news of the Wen family, but she didn't expect it to make them uneasy, so she said: "Okay, let's make a note, I'll take 1,000 taels into the shares." ”

Yun and Ye Qiong invited the shopkeeper of Hongbin Building to be a witness, Hongbin Building often has such a thing, so naturally there is no need to worry about the shopkeeper saying that he will leak his mouth and smash his reputation. Under the witness, the two signed their names on the note, then pressed their fingerprints, and each put away the paperwork.

Before leaving, the Yun clan winked at Ye Qiong and said, "Second Miss Ye, you can pay attention to the news about the Huai'en Marquis Mansion in the court these days. ”

Ye Qiong smiled understandingly, holding the paperwork, and her mood relaxed.

……………………

Huaienhou Mansion, the servants in the courtyard went in and out, and Huaienhou's wife Ye Fuxian was standing in the courtyard, and Wen Lei with a gray face was sitting beside her.

In the delivery room, a terrible shout was heart-wrenching, Ye Fuxian looked at the basin of blood and water brought out, and was so anxious that she stomped her feet: "It's useless, it's useless!" It's all the Ye family and the Gu family, and I don't know how the Ye family climbed to the Gu family, so a good shop was bitten down by the Gu family first. Your sister has prepared two corpses, and plans to carry them directly to Naqiluo Building today, and make their reputation stink, who knew that she heard about the Gu family's shareholding. ”

"Mother, the shop is still a trivial matter." Wen Lei said, "Let's think about how to keep my title." ”

Speaking of this, Ye Fuxian was even more angry: "That damn Gu family, relying on his own strength, but he is just a horse breeder, dare to encourage Yu Shi Shen to be lame and not suitable for being a son of the world, and don't look at the entire Wen family if there is a better son than you?" Your sister was so angry with these two things that she had a miscarriage! ”

Wen Lei moved his mouth, wanting to say that his cousin was good at studying, but considering Ye Fuxian's emotions, he still didn't say it.

On the other side, Huai Enhou just got off the court, and as soon as he reached the courtyard, he raised his leg and was about to kick Wen Lei, pointing at him and scolding: "Son, you have made a sin!" Now, your majesty has taken the throne of your son, and if I don't come out before I die, the title will be given to your uncle! ”

Ye Fuxian pulled Huai Enhou, and when she heard the words, her eyes were black again, and she almost couldn't stand steadily.

Who knows, someone came to report at this time: "Oh no, no, the third princess heard that our girl had a miscarriage, and sent a eunuch to pick people up!" ”

"This, what should I do!" Ye Fuxian rolled her eyes and really fainted.

Wen Tingting was half-escorted and half-sent to the carriage by the eunuch, feeling the pain in her body, as well as the already empty lower abdomen, and her heart was sad, both jealous and resentful.

The Ye family, the Gu family, I will not forget today's hatred!
