Why do I have the lowest fighting ability among the whole family?

Chapter 30 The Queen Mother adds a gift to Xixiang Tower?

"Little money fan." Mrs. Cheng smiled and nodded Pei Shao's forehead, then turned around and changed the topic.

"Your eldest brother has entered Qinglin Academy these days. I think it's time for you to become enlightened. Once the shop with your uncle is stable, you can go to school with your eldest brother."

As soon as he heard about going to school, Pei Shao immediately became listless and nodded absently.

No matter what, she really hates going to school!
  In my previous life, I was an orphan and no one cared about me. In this life...

Pei Shao suddenly raised his head.

She had never remembered much about her previous life, and only now did she realize what she was thinking.

She stuck her butt out and took out a small booklet from her pocket, writing something in it.

Cheng looked at her and felt funny in her heart.

It’s just a child’s character.

Pei Shao put a lot of effort into the shop that was going to open the next day, and he was still adding and adding to the purchase list in the middle of the night.

With the one hundred thousand taels of silver in her grandmother's red envelope, she is now simply a rich little woman.

It wasn't until she couldn't hold it any longer that she finalized the purchase list and lay on the bed and fell asleep.

At Chenshi the next day, as expected by Pei Shao, the shop was already full when it opened early in the morning.

Several maids in the store were also busy introducing products to customers, and there was a long queue at the checkout.

"Have you heard? There is a shop called Sihai Penglai opened in the alley over there! If you dare to name it, I would like to go and see what it sells!"

"Hey - you don't know, right? It's a little-known shop, deliberately opened to attract attention! I don't know if it can afford this name. In my opinion, it's better to go to that street. Take a look at Xixianglou."

The man pointed to the entrance of another alley. Many people were crowded from the entrance, which was in sharp contrast to the bleak surroundings of Penglai.

"Over there, it's a shop opened by General Qin's youngest daughter. I heard that his youngest daughter is full of talent and can already recite poems and compose poems at the age of five. The products sold in the shop were developed by the little girl herself. What about the cleansing stuff?”

The old man shook his head, with a pleased expression on his face: "I have used that thing called soap. Although it is a little more expensive than soap, the effect is incredible!"

In Sihai Penglai, several servants who had been taken out from the Cheng Mansion were busy milling around just now. When they turned around, they saw many guests whispering to each other. They looked at each other for a few times and then put down their things and went out.

"Little miss, this..."

Bai Zhi was running around anxiously, wishing he could drag the guest back by himself.

In the end, she couldn't feel relieved anymore, put down the basket in her hand, hurriedly told Pei Shao, turned around and ran out with her skirt in hand.

"I'm going to see what's going on over there!"

Compared with Bai Zhi, Cheng Yishen was very calm.

As early as Shao Shao's inner voice reminded him, he knew that the monster next door would be a monster, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

After counting the remaining goods and instructing his servants to keep up with the supply, he picked up Pei Shao and followed the crowd outside.

The news spread from ten to ten, and almost all the people in this meeting went to Xixiang Tower, and the discussions among the surrounding people were also bustling.

"Have you heard? The Queen Mother is going to give a gift to Xixiang Tower! Even the Queen Mother can ask for it. How capable is this girl from the Qin family..."

Cheng Yishen's heart skipped a beat after hearing this, and thought to himself that it was not good.

The Queen Mother is going to Xixiang Tower to add gifts?
  He had calculated a lot and found so many noble ladies, but he did not expect that Queen Mother Nanruan would go to give Qin Liuliu a gift.

He originally thought that the identities of the noble ladies he had contacted were enough, but he didn't expect that in the end, the other party had a better move.

Cheng Yishen felt a rare sense of frustration.

Unlike his reaction, Pei Shao relaxed a lot when he heard the word Queen Mother.

Her mother brought her into the palace the day before yesterday to ask for grace. The Queen Mother must not be someone who goes back on her word, right? Pei Shao looked around for a while, feeling bored.

Outside Xixiang Tower, Qin Liuliu stood proudly at the door. What was quite inconsistent with his immature face was that there was some shrewd calculation in his eyes.

Seeing the long queue at the door, Qin Liuliu frowned and whispered to the people around him.

Soon a boy came out to drive away the crowd.

"Come on, let's go! The cheapest soap in Xixiang Building costs two taels of silver! If you can't afford it, don't go in to see it! In a short while, the Queen Mother came over and bumped into the noble man!"

Several old men who were roughly pushed by him were dissatisfied and retorted: "If you can't afford it, why can't you check it out? Do you, Xixiang Tower, look down on the people like that?"

The boy plucked his ears as if he heard some joke, and then said impatiently: "Let's go quickly! I bumped into the Queen Mother, can you bear the responsibility?"

Although Qin Liuliu didn't know when she fell in the favor of the Queen Mother, she turned around and thought of the song "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night" she had just composed two days ago. Countless literati were fascinated by it, and they even regarded her as a born literary star.

It seems that the Queen Mother also knew her name and wanted to make acquaintance with her.

Thinking of this, Qin Liuliu raised his head more confidently and said in a cold voice: "The Queen Mother will arrive soon to add gifts to Xixiang Tower!"

Several female relatives of famous families in the building exchanged glances with each other, and in the blink of an eye they were even more flattering to Qin Liuliu.

One mouthful called Sister Liuliu, and she screamed so affectionately.

Qin Liuliu frowned, feeling a little dissatisfied.

She is a modern person who has traveled through time, and she looks down on women of this era from the bottom of her heart.

All day long, I have known that those two taels of rouge, gouache, husband and godson have reduced my status to an extremely low level. How can I still be a noble girl? How can anyone compare to her?
  Qin Liuliu did not respond, but sneered.

The faces of several noble ladies were a little confused.

Calling Qin Liuliu sisters is a very low-status measure for them.

If it weren't for the fact that she was favored by the Queen Mother, who would think highly of her because of her background as a daughter of a young general's palace?

But this Qin Liuliu was so ignorant.

The expressions of the several ladies were not very good. Only two of them were still in the store, while the others rolled up their sleeves and left.

Qin Liuliu didn't pay attention at all. All she thought about was the Queen Mother who was coming and the wealth that belonged to her who came with the Queen Mother.

Her mind was filled with the joy that she was about to enter the circle of ladies in the capital, and she was looking forward to the arrival of the Queen Mother.

"Girl! The Queen Mother's people are coming to Chaoyang Lane!"

The boy who ran ahead half-knelt in front of Qin Liuliu and said happily.

Chaoyang Lane is the name of the alley where they are.

Xixiang Tower is at the entrance of the alley, and after passing through Chaoyang Alley, and then turning a corner when you reach the depths, you will find Penglai all over the world.

"Quick! Call everyone in the store! Get ready to welcome the Queen Mother!"

Qin Liuliu's face was full of joy, and then she promised loudly: "To celebrate the Queen Mother's visit to Xixiang Tower, today we will give you a 40% discount! If you spend fifty taels or more, you will get an extra piece of soap!"

Hearing this, the people below surrounded the store door, but they left a way out in the middle with a tacit understanding.

The arrival of the Queen Mother has nothing to do with them, but the discount is different.

A piece of soap originally cost five taels of silver, but after discounting it by 50%, it cost three taels of silver, which was a full two taels.

With two taels of silver, the common people in the capital were already richer than elsewhere, so it was not a bad idea to bite the bullet and buy one.

Although it is also expensive, it is still much cheaper than the Xiangyazi, which only costs seven or eight taels of silver.
