Love on the Pillow: Pampering the Unscrupulous Queen

Chapter 10
"Miss, according to your request, we looked at several shops in the city, and the prices are not cheap." Shi Qin handed the booklet to Su Qing, "Why do you suddenly want to open a shop by yourself? There are also many shops in our house. If you want a shop in a good location, Madam will definitely let you pick it.”

Su Qing took the brochure and opened it for a few glances, and found that the shops are almost all located in the prosperous areas of the capital like Zhuque Street. Of course, the benefits are obvious, but the cost is too high. A shop under the market costs 5 to [-] taels. It is very difficult to buy a store.

Su Qing didn't want her family to know about it, so she ordered Shi Qin and Shi Shu to visit the shop privately these days.

It's just that both Shiqin and Shishu are the sons of the general's mansion, and they were raised as spoiled and pampered by Su Qing since they were young. It won't take long to be eaten alive.

It is indeed embarrassing for these two little girls to discuss the matter of buying a shop.

But Su Qing herself is a lady of every family, and it is even more impossible for her to go outside this deep house to discuss business. If others find out, she will not be the only one who loses face.Perhaps the Duke's Mansion and the General's Mansion will both become the laughing stock of the capital.

Rubbing the center of her brows with some headaches, Su Qing put down the booklet in her hand, turned her head and asked another thing: "I asked you to keep an eye on Su Xuerou, can you see that she has not moved?"

Hearing Su Qing's question, Shi Qin immediately looked around, and then said in a low voice: "Miss, the second miss has always asked An He to go outside to buy dim sum these days. But the dim sum at our house is always better than those sold outside. Okay? The slave thinks that there is something wrong with the dim sum shop."

When Su Qing heard this, she hummed lightly: "Send someone to keep an eye on it, Su Xuerou is not a quiet master, she will show her tail one day."

Shi Qin nodded, thought for a while and said: "Miss, how about I go to the eldest young master to borrow two people? If the second miss really does something, we have something to rely on."

Su Qing shook her head: "No need, there's no need to inform others about this matter for the time being, we'll talk about it when we have the result."

Shiqin nodded.

"Find a way, I want to go out." Su Qing looked at Shi Qin.

Shi Qin was taken aback, looked around, and found that only the little girl Anping was outside in the yard, heaved a sigh of relief, turned around and looked at Su Qing with a frown: "Miss, how can you go out casually? Don't say that Shi Qin can't help you, even if you can, you can't do it, it's harming you!"

Su Qing put her hand on her forehead. After she was reborn, she took some things lightly, but she was negligent. It is impossible for any lady of the family to go out casually.

"By the way, it's not impossible for the eldest miss to go out." The servant who was cleaning the antiques on the antique shelf next to him suddenly turned back and smiled.

Shi Qin glanced at her: "You little hoof, don't fool Miss, be careful, I'll go back and tell Madam."

The servant put down a seven-color glass bottle in his hand, begged for mercy and said with a smile: "My good sister, you have killed me unjustly. My good idea, I'm sure my wife won't object after hearing it."

Su Qing raised her eyebrows slightly: "Don't be a secret, let's hear it."

The servant said with a smile: "My eldest lady, when did His Royal Highness invite you to go for an outing, did our wife stop you? Even if the young master is not happy, and our wife stands in the way, doesn't the young master have no objection?"

"Bah, I still said it wasn't a bad idea." Shi Qin shook her head, "The marriage between our young lady and the prince has not yet been settled, and I am trying to avoid gossip from others these days, if His Royal Highness the prince runs to our house every day, wouldn't it be a waste of money?" Is the mouth tongue-tied?"

Su Qing was silent for a long time, but suddenly she smiled: "It's not necessarily true, serve the book, bring me a pen and ink, I want to write a letter to His Royal Highness, and we can leave the house tomorrow."

Shi Shu immediately went to spread paper and grind ink, and seeing Shi Qin's disapproving eyes, he secretly stuck out his tongue.

Su Qing polished up the rhetoric in her mind a little, then wrote on the paper with a wolf's hair in her hand: Respectfully invite the prince Jin'an, in March of Yangchun, with carved beams in Yan language, I expect to feel refreshed... I hope you will get back soon.

After finishing writing, he leaned over and blew. After the ink on it was dry, he folded the letter paper, put it in an envelope, and wrote on the envelope: The prince lightly opened the four words.

"Go and send it to the Prince's Mansion yourself." Su Qing handed the letter to the servant and urged.

The servant nodded and said with a smile: "Miss, please rest assured, the servant will definitely deliver the letter."

With that said, he turned and left the room.

"Miss, you are messing around with Shi Shu too much." Seeing this, Shi Qin couldn't help complaining.

Knowing Shiqin's nagging nature, Su Qing pretended not to hear, turned around and looked at the items on the antique shelves in the room, looked back and forth several times, and pointed to one of the emerald cabbage, which was about a foot tall. Coral tree and a red jadeite watermelon: "Shi Qin, tell me, if these things are pawned, how much money would they be worth?"

When Shi Qin heard this, he was startled, and hurriedly clasped his hands together to beg for mercy: "My aunt, these are all gifts from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, didn't you not allow even the servants to touch them when you received them? "

Shi Qin waved his hand, and said lightly: "Only the crown prince would give these flashy things, it's better to just give money directly."

Shi Qin looked at Su Qing suspiciously: "Miss, these flashy things were your most precious things back then, why do you despise them so much now?"

Su Qing got up, and didn't take a second look at the things on the antique rack behind her. Instead, she went to the cabinet in the inner room, took out some of the relatively high-value gem heads, emerald jewelry, necklace necklaces and other objects, and put them on the bed: "Take these things out and pawn them, anyway, I don't need a lot of them."

Speaking of pawning the gifts from Feng Jun is of course just casual talk, but she wants to open a shop, and there is still a big gap in funds, so she can only pawn these jewelry of her own.

A woman is a person who pleases herself. At the beginning, in order to please Feng Jun, she thought about how to dress herself every day. Her mother was slack in teaching kung fu, and her father also put aside the poetry and books taught by her father. Now that she thinks about it, it is a pity.

Now she no longer has the desire to please Feng Jun, so the pile of pearls and jade jewelry is naturally not as attractive as the white money.

"Miss..." Shi Qin wanted to persuade her again, but seeing that Su Qing had made up her mind, she could only nod her head, "I understand, but since these things were worn by the young lady, naturally they can't be leaked outside." I'll temporarily pawn these things to our store, and I'll get them back later?"

"Since it's a pawn, it's natural to pick out the ones with high prices. It doesn't matter if these things go out, just say that I rewarded the people below. As for whether the people below sell or pawn, then it has nothing to do with me." Su Qing said lightly.

Shi Qin could only nod her head when she heard the words, and found a box to put all the small pile of ornaments in: "Young maidservant, let's go now."

Su Qing nodded: "Don't let others know."

Shi Qin has always done things in a safe manner, and Su Qing just gave some casual instructions.
