Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 65 The First Money
Pearl lowered her head, pulled the corners of her clothes in embarrassment with her hands, and murmured, "That was driven out by Master Xiang..."

"Palm mouth!" Zhao Chengyu was furious.

Cuilian grabbed Pearl's hair with a shove.

Pearl was terrified, but did not dare to struggle, and only murmured: "Five young lady spare your life, slaves dare not!"

"Good, you wild hoof!" Zhao Chengyu glared, "It's just that after staying in the Rose Garden for half a month, I learned to talk back!"

"Crack!" Cuilian rolled up her sleeves, her palms were fierce, and a slap swept across Pearl's face.

Pearl's eyes widened, as if she was stunned by this palm, she just stared blankly at the master and servant in front of her.

"Pearl, sister, I don't really hate you, I just want to avenge Ding's mother too much." Cuilian grabbed Pearl's collar, "Tell me, why did Mama Liu from Rose Garden secretly go to the willow tree? alley?"

Pearl shook her head like a rattle: "I, I, I don't know, I really don't know, maybe Mama Liu has some friends who live there..."

"Nonsense!" Zhao Chengyu raised his eyebrows and said angrily, "Don't you know who lives in Liushu Hutong? There are actresses and prostitutes who live there! Since she is said to be Liu's mother's friend, then tell me, what happened to Liu's mother? Know a friend like this?"

"I..." Pearl's face instantly lost its blood.

The fight was in full swing here, but the second lady, Yuan Shi, was called to Rong'an Hall.

As soon as the second lady entered the room, she saw Mrs. Qiao sitting in the guest seat.

I saw Zhao Xiwei and Miss Qiao sitting opposite again.

Feeling a little complicated in an instant.

They are all young ladies from Zhao's house, so why is there such a big difference.

How long has it been since these three girls returned to the mansion, and they have already met with foreign guests in an open and fair manner!

The one from my own family is still the direct descendant, so I didn't get this honor...

You must know that Mrs. Qiao's husband is the head of Honglu Temple. If Sister Yu can come here to meet and listen, it will be very helpful for the child's future.

After another glance, I was shocked again: Zhao Chengyan is the daughter of the Prime Minister!How can I not sit here to meet guests! ?

That's all, who's to call the little girl a smart person?
I heard that the business that Mrs. Qiao introduced was still smeared by the little girl!
Thinking of this, she felt a little better in her heart: at least, this little girl is a generous person, and the first thing that comes to her mind is her aunt.

Between the light and the flint, Mrs. Yuan has experienced all the vicissitudes in her heart.

She calmly restrained her emotions, with an exquisite smile on her face: "I've always heard of Madam Qiao's name, but unfortunately I can't meet each other. When I meet you today, it really lives up to its reputation."

Mrs. Qiao laughed, looking like she had seen each other late: "I've always heard of Sister Yuan's name, and even the master of our house sighed, saying that her sister is the husband of the women's middle school and the shopkeeper of the entire Chang'an City. I have a lot of admiration for my sister! No, now that I have a business, I will come to your house to ask my sister for advice, and I hope that my sister will not dislike me for being stupid."

Madam Yuan was shocked and couldn't help but glance at Zhao Xiwei next to her.

The old lady leaked to herself yesterday, saying that Mrs. Qiao might send a silk business to her door and told her to prepare well.

Although she heard it at the time, she always felt unreliable.

A 16-year-old girl and a concubine, can Mrs. Qiao really give Sister Wei such a big face?
Now, the words came out of Mrs. Qiao's mouth, making her dare not believe it again.

Mrs. Qiao saw Mrs. Yuan in a daze, and said slowly with a smile: "It's a merchant from Persia, and I want to buy a batch of silk fabrics to go back. Our master is still worried, and said where to find so many goods all of a sudden, I saw my sister's name. Isn't the Zhenlong Pavilion currently in stock? So I want to ask my sister to help me with this, I don't know what my sister thinks?"

These words are not leaking. It is obviously beneficial to others, but there is no arrogance of mercy, which makes people feel very relieved.

Mrs. Yuan is also a shrewd person.

"Ah, is that right?" She widened her eyes in surprise, pretending she didn't know Mrs. Qiao's drunkenness, and gave the other party enough respect: "That's really a blessing to my sister, I happen to have a group of slaves here. The first-class goods that Yuhang came in—"

Both are smart people, and both are extremely slick and sophisticated.

It was a real pleasure to listen to them chatting like this.

Zhao Xiwei was drinking tea slowly beside him, and a smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The tea in her hand was refilled three times, and Mrs. Yuan finally waved her hand and ordered someone to come over with the account book: "This is the purchase list of Zhenlong Pavilion a few days ago, please read it, sister."

"Such a thick book!" Mrs. Qiao's smile was full of helplessness: "I'm not as smart as my sister. When I look at this ledger, my mind is a mess..."

"It's okay to do it." Mrs. Yuan neatly closed the account book and handed it to the maid next to her, "Sister, take it back, take it slow, and when it feels right, just send someone to inform my sister. ."

This eagerness shows that he really wants to make this deal.

The heart that Mrs. Qiao was carrying finally fell.

Involuntarily, he glanced at Zhao Xiwei next to him.

Zhao Xiwei put down the tea cup in his hand, with a grateful expression on his face: "We have nothing to repay Mrs. Qiao, I heard that Honglu Temple is in urgent need of a batch of flower tea, it happens that the little girl has such a skill, but I don't know if I can help. busy."

The topic finally returned to important matters, and Mrs. Qiao laughed happily.

"Miss Zhao San is really considerate." She looked at Zhao Xiwei with anticipation. "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and there are many merchants coming and going from Honglu Temple. I want ten pounds first. I wonder if Miss San will be able to make it in time?"

Ten pounds!

Unexpectedly, her first money came so quickly!

Zhao Xi was stunned for a moment, hurriedly picked up the tea cup to hide the shock on his face, and said with a faint smile: "I also want to promise it, but I'm afraid that I won't receive so many flowers. You know, it's winter now. , there are not many fresh flowers and leaves that can be used..."

Her tone was slow, with a reassuring calmness, "Besides, Madam Qiao hasn't drunk the tea I made, so she ordered so much at once, if the envoy Hu Shang over there doesn't like it, wouldn't it be? A piece of your mind wasted."

Listening to her rational analysis, Mrs. Qiao's eyes became brighter and brighter.

This girl is really transparent!

Don't lose affection because of silver taels, do things decently and take into account the overall situation, the most important thing is to know how to think in a different position and give the greatest benefit to the other party.

"Would you like this to work?"

Zhao Xi smiled and said, "I still have a few packs of scented tea made in summer here, with a total of four flavors. You can bring some back and give everyone a taste. If you think it's good, let someone send a message... Now this season , the concocted plum tea has the best taste."
