Chapter 491

Aside from the discordant notes of Da Furen, Xiao Nan's birthday banquet was quite successful.

As a sister, Xiao Hui's advertising has also achieved the expected effect. After Cui Jiang's toss, she even brought everyone's great interest in the jade bracelet she tried on.

There were not a few noble ladies who dragged Xiao Hui to inquire about jadeite matters on the spot.

Seeing this, Xiao Hui was in a good mood, and took the opportunity to announce to everyone that she opened a shop in Xinshi, called 'Qizhen Pavilion', which specializes in selling exotic treasures from other places. The new shop will open on the [-]th of this month. All products are [-]% off, please come and join us.

In addition, Xiao Hui also confidently assured that all the products sold by Qizhen Pavilion are unique to Datang. If you buy the same product in other stores, Qizhen Pavilion will not only refund the original price, but also pay the buyer three times the money .

All of a sudden, the appetites of all the noble ladies were whetted. Datang was rich in treasures, and with frequent transactions with the world, there were not a few rare treasures sold in the east and west markets.

Basically, the noble ladies present were all spoiled by those Hu merchants and wealthy merchants, and ordinary things really couldn't catch their eyes, so someone asked: "It doesn't matter whether it is rare or not, the key is whether the things are good or not."

If you make a monster made of broken straw, there will be no second seller in the east and west markets, but is there anyone who wants such a thing?

Xiao Hui was not annoyed, and directly took out an extremely exquisite cloisonné enamel handle mirror from her sleeve pocket, and handed it to the doubting lady, "Look, is this thing okay?"

The lady took the mirror and was first attracted by the exquisite and gorgeous pattern on the back. She gently stroked the pattern made by unknown craftsmanship with her fingers, and couldn't help nodding: "It's so exquisite workmanship, such craftsmanship , it’s the first time I’ve seen you.”

Xiao Hui smiled lightly and reminded: "Turn around and have a look again!"

The noble lady was kind, she turned her wrist lightly, and a flash of light flashed by, she, she actually saw her face clearly - oh my god, this, this is a mirror.

In the clear mirror, a young and beautiful lady opened her mouth without any manners, she didn't know what to say in astonishment.

Xiao Hui explained: "This is also a product sold by Qizhen Pavilion. It is called an enamelled copper mirror. The mirror surface adopts a unique craftsmanship, which can clearly reflect people's shadows, which is much better than traditional copper mirrors."

"Gudong!"

The noble lady swallowed her saliva and nodded again and again, "That's right, it's really, really very clear, it's the first time for me to see myself so clearly. Hey, my mouth is a bit swollen here."

Hearing this, the servant beside her hurriedly took out a small white porcelain bottle, unscrewed the lid and handed it to her.

The lady dabbed some lip balm with her little finger, and then touched up her makeup in front of the mirror.

After she made such a move, everyone present couldn't sit still, and they gathered around to try it for themselves.

I saw a small mirror being passed around in everyone's hands. Everyone was amazed when they got it, and reluctant to let it go when it was taken away. The painful appearance seemed to have been taken away from some precious treasure.

Seeing this, Xiao Hui became even happier, and said to everyone with a smile, "Don't worry, everyone, there are still many mirrors like this in the shop. If ladies like it, when the Qizhen Pavilion opens, you can choose it yourself."

Everyone nodded one after another, expressing that they would definitely join in the show at that time.

The reason why everyone gave so much face is because this thing is really novel and successfully aroused everyone's desire to buy;
Secondly, there were no idiots present here. When they heard that Qizhen Pavilion was opened in Xinshi, they immediately thought that more than half of Xinshi was owned by Xiao Nan. In this way, Qizhen Pavilion was very likely to be the two sisters of the Xiao family. common industry.

Since Xiao Nan also has shares, they should also join in the show.

It wasn't that they were afraid of Xiao Nan or they were trying to flatter them, it was because Xiao Nan and his wife were too prosperous.

Just now, two groups of servants came to the palace, one after the other brought Xiao Nan a birthday gift.

The first wave was sent by the emperor and empress, and the empress and empress had a good impression of Xiao Nan, the granddaughter.

Especially a few days ago, when the eldest princess entered the palace to greet her parents, she inadvertently mentioned that Xiao Nan bought property for the twins.

The original words of the eldest princess are: "Although they are not valuable things, they are valuable because of her heart. Aye and Auntie also know that the son and the son-in-law are not young. I am really worried that I can't watch them grow up. Marrying a wife, Qiao Mu is so caring, my son will be more at ease, with her to take care of the younger brother, even if he really goes away someday, he can close his eyes."

As he spoke, tears streamed down his face.

The empress and empress reprimanded the eldest princess first, "Jinghun said, your old parents are still here, you don't say you think about good things, but you think about these things that have no shadow, you really deserve to fight!"

The queen really patted the eldest princess lightly.

The eldest princess begged for mercy with a flattering smile, and then sighed with emotion: "Only when you raise a child will you know the kindness of your parents. Since you have Qiao Mu and those two little things, you will know how hard Aye and Auntie are."

Saying this, the Eldest Princess straightened up and made a big salute, touching her forehead to the ground: "It's a bit late to say this now. However, I still want to say, Aye, Aniang, thank you, the elder—"

The empress and empress were very moved by the phone call, and couldn't help thinking of their own thoughts: Yes, after they leave, who can the young children rely on?
Thinking of this, the queen suddenly remembered something, when Xincheng got married, Xiao Nan, the niece, had given him a congratulatory gift.

At that time, she didn't care about it, thinking that it was just some gold, silver and silk.Later, when chatting with Xincheng, I found out that Xiao Nan actually gave Xincheng more than a dozen shops, and the locations are very good, each of which can make a lot of money every day. After operating more than a dozen shops, there are 10,000+ shops in a year. What about income?

Of course, Xincheng has a generous dowry, and the eldest grandson's family is not poor, but who thinks there is too much money.

Later, the queen heard that Jin Yang also mentioned this matter, it turned out that Xiao Nan not only sent congratulatory gifts to Xincheng, but she also sent shop fronts to Zhinu and Sizi.

In addition to the shop, Xiao Nan also introduced a clever Hu businessman to the brother and sister to run a mansion shop together. I heard that the business is also very good, and there are millions of bonuses every year.There are 30 to [-] guan every year in the hands of King Jin and Jinyang.

Thinking of this, the queen couldn't help sighing: "Qiao Mu is indeed a good boy." Not only does he know how to take care of the younger brother, but he also knows how to care for the elders. His character is really not bad.

The eldest princess mentioned again 'inadvertently', "It will be Qiao Mu's birthday in a few days, alas, every time she celebrates her birthday, I feel sorry for her, why did she let her be born on Ghost Festival?! "

After some conversation, the empress discussed and decided to reward Xiao Nan with some small objects on the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month, which should be given to celebrate her birthday.

It is indeed a small thing, such small things as gold and silver things, gold and silver pattern nudes, in the eyes of the rich and powerful, they are not worth much, but the key is the meaning of them - the princess of Xiangcheng is very favored by the empress. !

After the emperor's servants left, the rewards from the East Palace also came down.

The crown prince and princess concubine obviously attached great importance to Cui Youbo and his wife, not only sent congratulatory gifts, but also sent a small envoy by the way—Donggong Sanniang, Jiaojiao children's shoes.

Jiaojiao first said 'Happy Birthday' to Xiao Nandao, and then presented him with a purse made by himself.Uh, the work was not outstanding, but it was a matter of heart, Xiao Nan was very happy to accept it.

Looking at Xiao Nan holding hands with Donggong Sanniang, they are very intimate, and there is something that everyone present does not understand.

Everyone directly and selectively forgot about the frightening topic that the eldest lady uttered, and none of the noble ladies present went to inquire about the lawsuit of the princess of Xiangcheng.

Before the banquet officially started, Xiao Nan brought a pair of sons and daughters to treat the guests.

The two young ones performed very well, they were graceful and graceful, they behaved well, lived young and old, and had extraordinary conversation. The ladies saw it and couldn't help but praise it.

What's more, the family with children has already begun to quietly inquire about the situation of the two.

Well, Mrs. Cui is seven years old this year, and she will be able to discuss marriage in three or four years; Mr. Cui is still young, but it’s okay, you can write it down in advance and wait for future observation...

The banquet went very smoothly, everyone talked and laughed together for a long time, and the host and guest enjoyed themselves.

In the afternoon, Xiao Nan and his wife took their son and daughter off to see off the guests, and they didn't send all the guests away until it was almost dusk.

It's not over yet, the foreign guests are sent away, and the relatives at Rongkang Hall haven't left yet.So, Cui Youbo continued to go back to the front hall to have a drink and talk with his brothers, while Xiao Nan went back to Weirui Courtyard to chat with his sisters-in-law.

Webster was fine, he was still cheerful and talkative, while Wang was a little too dull, as if he had something on his mind.

Moreover, when the sisters-in-law were having tea, Mrs. Wang still showed a hesitant expression from time to time.

Seeing this, Webster knew what he was doing. After two cups of tea and some rice cakes, he reasoned that there was still something to do at home and he had to go ahead.

After sending Wei Shi away, Xiao Nan also sent out the maids around him, only Xiao Nan, Wang Shi, and their personal maids were left in the room.

Mrs. Wang looked at it, and couldn't help showing an embarrassed expression, "Your brother and sister saw it?"

Xiao Nan forked a piece of pineapple with a silver fork and handed it to Wang Shi, "Sister-in-law, just tell me if you have anything to do, as long as I can help, I will never stand by and watch."

Mrs. Wang took the silver fork, took small bites of the pineapple slices, and said quietly after she finished eating, "Oh, I'm not afraid of my younger siblings' jokes anymore. A few days ago, the imperial doctor came to check the pulse as usual, and I, I have two months pregnant."

She is almost forty, and she is about to become a grandmother, but she did not expect to have another one.Oh, I'm really embarrassed to tell people.

But Xiao Nan smiled and said: "This is a happy event, sister-in-law, I envy you before it's too late, how can you make a joke?" Being able to conceive at such an age shows that Cui Yanbo and his wife are in harmony.

Wang Shi heard the banter in Xiao Nan's words, couldn't help but cast her a supercilious look, and said, "Just laugh at me, I don't care anyway."

Xiao Nan hurriedly explained, "Sister-in-law, I really didn't mean to make fun of you. By the way, does elder brother know about your pregnancy?"

Mrs. Wang shook her head and said, "Apart from the imperial physician and a few maids around me, only you know about it. Alas, this matter won't be hidden for long. I'll tell the gentleman in these two days, and then tell my mother-in-law."

Xiao Nan was puzzled, this was clearly a happy event, why did he have to cover it up.

Seeing the doubt in Xiao Nan's eyes, Mrs. Wang sighed, "Speaking of which, I really want to ask my siblings for help..."
