Chapter 146
Chapter 146
In the morning, the Hall of Valor, the place where Emperor Longde and his courtiers went to court early.
In the majestic and majestic Hall of Valor, Emperor Longde, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, sat crookedly on a high dragon chair, listening expressionlessly to the ministers reporting on political affairs step by step.
There has been no news about the Southwest War. Emperor Longde's temper is getting more irritable every day. The ministers are very winking and dare not say a word.
Those who used to like to criticize each other are also friendly now.
There was an imperceptible sneer on the corner of Emperor Longde's mouth. Is it really peaceful to whitewash the peace?
His expression was indifferent, and he hadn't said a single word since the early morning, and his body remained motionless, like the Jade Emperor being enshrined. He said the political affairs he was talking about dryly, and he didn't even have the courage to look up at Emperor Longde's expression quietly.
The atmosphere in the hall became more and more rigid, everyone was dry, with the courage of the execution ground, stepped forward to say what they should say, and quickly retreated to their positions.
Just when the atmosphere was so heavy that it was almost breathless, the eunuch's high-pitched voice sounded outside, "Report! Southwest news!"
Emperor Longde seemed to be injected with immortal power in an instant, his eyes were like moments, and he stood up involuntarily, "Quick pass!"
He stepped down from the Dragon Throne himself, and directly received the good news from the eunuch who came to summon him. This kind of behavior was greatly against the rules, and it was something Tianwu had never done before!But at this time, everyone including the censor pretended not to see it.
After reading it, Emperor Longde was so excited that he looked up to the sky and laughed, "Good! Good! Good! General Zhengxi defeated the 40 army of Wacha with 35 people. Our army lost [-] and the enemy's [-] troops were wiped out! Old General Li led [-] Li family troops to hold on to Qiyun Mountain for a month, not giving up an inch of land, and finally succeeded in conquering the Western Army! Young Master Li identified a strange poison from the river to prevent the entire army from being annihilated. Assassinate the army, let the strategy of General Zhengxi be perfectly implemented, and make a great contribution! Good! Hahahahaha!"
Won?The 40 troops conquering the west actually defeated the 35 Wacha army and destroyed 40 others?This... this Xiao Yichen, the great general Zhengxi and the son of Duke Zhenguo, could it be that he is the reincarnation of a god, with aura to protect him?Otherwise, how can you beat [-] with [-]?
If these words were not spoken by Emperor Longde himself, almost no one would dare to believe them, but the good news is in the hands of Emperor Longde, so it is certainly true!
I'm afraid that the government of the town is about to wake up!The third prince..., in the court hall, some people were happy and some were sad, some were envious and some were jealous, and some were lowering their heads and thinking carefully.
Someone thought about it carefully, this General Zhengxi knows, Old General Li knows, who is this young master Li?
"Your Majesty," Ji Kun, Minister of the Ministry of War, saw the haze on Emperor Longde's face dissipate, and boldly asked, "Who is this Young Master Li?"
Emperor Longde was overjoyed at this time, "Li Yu, the only grandson of Old General Li! Hahaha, general's son, very good, very good!"
Li Yu?Isn't that Li Yu in the middle of the capital who runs behind the little daughter-in-law and the big girl every day, her body is smelly, and her mother made her look like a jade doll?
That Li Yu, who was carved with jade, with delicate skin and tender flesh, actually went to join the army, and actually made a head start?
All the ministers gasped in unison. The degree of shock of this news was second only to Xiao Yichen's killing the opponent's 35 with [-]!
"I've never heard of Mr. Li joining the army!" Ji Kun said to himself, although there are so many people joining the army, Ji Kun can't be remembered by everyone, but Li Yu has a special status. If he comes to sign up for the army, Mrs. Li's Tears probably flooded his Shangshu Palace!
Ji Kun's words didn't mean much at first, but he just felt puzzled and blurted out. As a result, a majestic and cold gaze glanced at him, and Ji Kun shuddered gorgeously, and immediately said: "I remember, Mr. Li It was the minister who was looking for it privately, and he was told to keep it from Madam Li, but the minister was busy dispatching troops at the time, so he forgot about it for a while."
No matter how Li Yu joined the army, who dares to say that he is not right now that he has made his first contribution and returned?
Retracting his majestic gaze, Ji Kun secretly sighed, and quietly wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.
"Ji Aiqing, announce this good news to the world. On the way back from the western expedition, all states and governments must treat you wholeheartedly! This military achievement record book will arrive in a few days, and you must immediately make a reward list and hand it over to me for personal reading. Rewards will be distributed, and after the Western Expeditionary Army returns to Beijing, there will be a celebration banquet!"
Generally speaking, the victorious troops who return to the imperial court will go back to their respective homes first, and hold a celebration banquet the next day. At the celebration banquet, they will be rewarded on the spot. There has never been a reason why military merit rewards have already been given before anyone has returned. .
It seems that the emperor is extremely satisfied with this battle in the Southwest!
"Sir, obey the order!"
Wu Chang, Qing of Taichang Temple, came out and said: "My Majesty, if you protect our court today, the great victory in the Southwest, and the [-]th Winter Solstice ceremony, I suggest that winter hunting be held later. At the celebration banquet, the prey should be cooked into delicacies. , to reward the heroic soldiers who returned in triumph!"
At this time, Emperor Longde's heart is happy, and everything is pleasing to his ears, "According to what Aiqing said! Pass down the order, and officials above the third rank can bring their family members with them! After the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, a winter hunting contest will be held. Those who win the first place will be rewarded! "
"I will obey your orders!"
Originally, the ministers didn't want to bring their family members with them for this sacrifice to heaven, they were afraid that something might happen accidentally and the emperor's eyes would be blocked, and their heads would be lost!
Now that the good news came, Emperor Longde was happy, and everyone had to be happy too, no matter if he was sincere or not.
Today is the tenth day of the lunar new year, and the winter solstice is only five days away. As soon as the morning court, everyone went home and told people to prepare.
This is true of the court, and so is the harem.
Originally, Emperor Longde was in a bad mood, and the queen mother was also in a bad mood. Now that the good news came out, the dark clouds covering the palace dissipated, and the queen mother was overjoyed.
Feng Shi is a first-class wife and has a good relationship with the Queen Mother, so naturally she can't escape.
It was Eunuch Lin who was next to the Queen Mother who came to announce the decree. After hearing this, Mrs. Feng wept with joy, "Jin'er, did you hear that? We won the battle, we won!"
In front of Eunuch Lin, Feng Shi did not say Li Yu's name, but Gong Jin didn't know what she meant that Li Yu was coming back.
With tears in her eyes, Gong Jin said, "Yes, Mommy, our Tianwu won."
Eunuch Lin didn't know why, but after seeing and hearing that they had won the battle, the two hugged each other and wept. As a woman, she cared about the country and the people, deeply admired!After returning home, I told the queen mother about this matter, the queen mother was moved, and looked up to the two of them even more!
After Eunuch Lin left, Lu Xinyan helped the two of them up, and exchanged glances with Gong Jin tacitly.
"Grandmother, Mr. Li is coming back. It's a good thing. Don't cry."
Feng wiped her tears, "Grandmother is so happy, Jin'er, my Jin'er, finally has someone to love, and has a good home."
Gong Jin felt sour, "Aniang, your daughter is unfilial, and you were worried before."
"All hardships are rewarding, Jin'er, mother has always believed that you are a lucky person!"
Lu Xinyan smiled and said, "Grandmother, fourth aunt, congratulations!"
"Thank you Zhuzhu." Gong Jin glanced at her, tacitly.
Seeing Feng's joy and sorrow, Lu Xinyan was worried that she would hurt her health, so she changed the subject, "Grandmother, when Zhuzhu just came here, I found that there are a lot fewer servants in this mansion. Now that my aunt is pregnant, it's not suitable to work hard, and the fourth aunt has to start again." To prepare the dowry, there must be insufficient manpower in this mansion, in Zhuzhu's opinion, it is time to add some servants to this mansion."
Feng thought this was the reason, "Zhuzhu, you think carefully, grandma will do it right away!"
Lu Xinyan stayed until dark and had dinner before leaving. She talked with Feng Shi, taught Gong Xiaodong and Gong Qian how to draw, and spent a very happy afternoon.
The snow has stopped for two days, but there has been no sunshine, and it has not melted. Even though it is dark, the whole world is still gray and white.
There were two red lanterns hanging in front of Lu Xinyan's carriage, illuminating the surroundings in orange, like sunlight passing by.
When the two small warm fireballs got farther and farther away, leaving only two small bright spots, a thin figure came out from the side alley.
He stared blankly at the carriage whose outline could no longer be seen clearly.
That woman, sitting in that car, has nothing to do with him now, and he can't even find a suitable reason for wanting to look at her.
Miyata Yu didn't know how long he stood in this alley, and he didn't know why he came here, he only knew that when he heard that Lu Xinyan had gone to Guangping Marquis Mansion, he hurried over.
After arriving, he stood in front of the familiar gate, but found that this was no longer his home, at least not a home where he could come and go freely.
He couldn't pretend to meet her by chance in the mansion as he imagined, greeted her with a smile, and asked her how she was doing recently?
It turns out that even such a simple meeting has become a luxury.
Five days ago in the morning, Miyata Yu found that his body was functioning normally. He, who was supposed to be excited, didn't feel happy at all.
Without the entanglement of desires, I want to understand many things, and I also think of many things in the past.
In fact, he and she also had childhood sweethearts, and had many warm and happy days.
It's just that some things are gone when they are past, and they can never go back to the past. Some people are lost when they are lost, and they can never be found again.
Lu Xinyan, I wish you all the best in the future!
-
After Lu Xinyan left in the morning, Mrs. Gao and Mrs. Gao hid in the house, secretly discussing how much they should sell those leather goods to Lu Xinyan.
Xiao Gao said: "Auntie, my niece suggested that last year's price be increased by [-]%. I heard that the price was the same in the market before!"
Gao shook his head, "[-]% is too little, think about it, the price in the market has increased by [-]% last year, that is when the goods can be obtained, if you can't get the goods, you have to get them from others at a high price, at least you have to go up." Forty percent or more!"
Xiao Gao felt reasonable, "Auntie is right. Now everyone knows that there is a shortage of leather goods in the market, and even if you have money, you can't buy them. The so-called rare goods are available for living. Auntie, how about a [-]% increase? My niece feels no worries about not being able to sell them!"
Gao Shi gritted her teeth, "Then it's [-]% more, anyway, [-]% more is not too much! Besides, Lu Xinyan doesn't have much else, only Lin Ruyue left her a lot of money! If there is no stock to sell, this fur shop will at least lose a few dollars." One hundred taels of silver, and offending regular customers! Now that we have goods to introduce to her, she has absolutely no reason to think it expensive!"
"Increase by [-]%!" Xiao Gao continued to increase the price, "My niece ran away for several days, apologizing to people everywhere, looking at people's faces, she has received more supercilious glances than my niece has received since she was a child, and she has to discount everything. Into silver, get it back from her."
"Then eighty percent!"
"Ninety percent!"...
The more they discussed, the more excited they became, and finally they set the price at double. It used to be one or two taels of silver per piece, but now it is three or three taels of silver per piece.
After the agreement was made, the two began to stay at home, waiting for Lu Xinyan to return from the Guangping Marquis Mansion.
After lunch, no one came back for a long time, Gao couldn't bear it because of his age, "A Ning, I can't hold it anymore, let's rest for a while, you go back first, after Lu Xinyan comes back, tell her to come to me right away .”
Xiao Gao had a cold two days ago, and her body has not recovered. She has stayed here for so long because of her enthusiasm. Now that Gao said this, she also felt that she couldn't hold it anymore, "Auntie, take a good rest, My niece is leaving first."
Xiao Gao had just walked to the gate of Jinse Courtyard when she ran into Lu Xinwan who was about to come to her.
"Aniang, look at my clothes, do you look good?"
Lu Xinwan suffered a big loss a few days ago, she was depressed, she didn't dare to speak up, and she was afraid of being seen by others, so after two days of recuperation, taking advantage of the better weather today, she asked Lu Xinhan to go out together.
Accidentally passed Suyifang, attracted by the clothes inside, bought a few.
As a woman who loves beauty extremely, a beautiful dress can make her forget most of her sorrows.
Lu Xinwan put the loss behind her for the time being, and came to Xiao Gao's to show off as soon as she came back.
Xiao Gao's eyelids were so heavy that she couldn't even lift her eyes, she didn't look at it, and said directly: "In two days, mother will pick the best leather for you to make a new dress."
Lu Xinwan curled her lips in disgust, "Who still wears leather clothes now? How old-fashioned, I don't even want to give it to me! If you love your daughter, wait a few days for the Suyifang to come out with a new style. Go and buy two for your daughter. I heard that the better-looking styles there were all ordered. My daughter was lucky. When I went there, a customer bought it for my niece. As a result, my niece got fat and couldn’t wear it, so I had to return it so that my daughter could get it. skillful…"
Most people in the capital know that Lu Xinyan has a share in the Suyifang, but the few people in the Ankangbo Mansion belong to the minority who don't know.
Xiao Gao was dizzy, and she didn't realize it until Lu Xinwan had finished talking, her eyes widened suddenly, "What are you talking about? You don't even want to send it off to you? Why, didn't you like it the most before?"
"You've said it before. This year, whoever still wears leather will wear the down jacket my daughter wears. It's fresh, cheap and beautiful, and it's no worse than leather! My daughter went out today and saw many people wearing it on the street. Those fur shops, They don’t sell leather anymore, they are all selling down jackets, men’s, women’s, old, young, all kinds of styles. As long as there is a slightly better color, they will be snatched up as soon as they go up...”
Lu Xinwan's mouth opened and closed, Xiao Gao couldn't hear her at all, she only heard those words: fur shop, not selling leather, selling down jackets!
If she doesn't sell leather anymore, then who will she sell those leathers she hoarded at a high price?
Xiao Gao looked at Lu Xinwan dumbfoundedly. It was a red down jacket with pipa buckle design, it was long to the feet, and it also wore a hat with white fox fur. The whole person looked like a It looks like candied haws, but it's extremely beautiful, at least after Lu Xinwan puts it on, her already gorgeous face is even more eye-catching!
Anyone who sees it will want such a down jacket, not the leather ones that you have every year!
Xiao Gao's complexion turned pale, a cloud of turbid air rose, his eyes turned dark, and his body was crumbling.
Lu Xinwan hurriedly supported her, and said anxiously: "Aniang, Aniang, what's the matter with you?"
The voice was near and far, clear and hazy. Xiao Gao tried to help her to go to the Ankang Hospital, but couldn't say a word, and quickly tilted her head and passed out.
When Xiao Gao woke up, it was almost dusk, Lu Xinwan sat on the bed and took a nap, the scarlet down jacket on her body hurt Xiao Gao's eyes.
She lifted the quilt, struggled to get off the ground, and woke up Lu Xinwan, "Mother, the doctor told me that you should take a good rest! Whether you are thirsty or hungry, my daughter has someone prepare it for you."
Xiao Gao was shocked by the news just now, and his body was very weak due to his previous illness. With this movement, he already started to pant, "I'm going to your grandmother's."
"Aniang, my daughter asked Nanny Ling to ask for leave from grandma, saying that you are not feeling well, and grandma agrees that you don't have to go to ask for peace for a few days. When you feel comfortable, just go to her yard."
"I'm not going to pay my respects, I have something important to discuss with your grandmother." Xiao Gao said weakly.
"What's the matter, can't we discuss it tomorrow? No matter how important the matter is, it's more important than your body?" Lu Xinwan held her down and refused to let her go.
Xiao Gao didn't have time to argue with Lu Xinwan, "Nurse Ling, quickly help me to my aunt's."
Seeing that she was so persistent, Lu Xinwan had no choice but to give up, "My daughter will go with you."
"No, you can go back and rest, your body is just right, don't be too tired."
Lu Xinwan lowered her head guiltily. After suffering a loss a few days ago, her body ached and her heart felt uncomfortable, so she lied to Xiao Gao that she was not feeling well, and stayed in the house for three days, "Got it, Auntie, the daughter will go back first."
Xiao Gao came to the Ankang Hospital with the support of Ling Nai. At this time, Gao was completely unaware.
Seeing Xiao Gao coming over sickly, Gao's face was full of displeasure, "Ah Ning, don't run around when you are not in good health, what if you infect others?"
The old man is old, and he is prone to get sick. Xiao Gao's disease came here like this, and he doesn't know what to worry about!
Mrs. Gao covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and she was very unwilling to talk face to face with Mrs. Gao.
Little Gao couldn't control what Gao was thinking at the moment, and after signaling Nanny Ling to let her go, she knelt down on the ground with a plop, crying bitterly, "Auntie, what should I do now?"
Gao became more and more disgusted, "Why did you come to me and cry? In front of the servants, what are you talking about?"
"Aunt," Xiao Gao broke down in tears, "Pi Zi, there is something wrong with Pi Zi..."
"What's the problem? What's the problem?" Gao frowned. When it was delivered on the eighth day of the lunar new year, she went to see it in person. They were all high-quality goods. In the past two days, Madam Che had to go around the neighborhood from time to time. In case there are people with dirty hands and feet in the mansion, sneaking along the two sheets, watching so closely, what's the problem?
"Suyifang... came out with a new style..." Xiao Gao intermittently, Gao interrupted impatiently, "Suyifang has new styles every two days, what's so strange? This is not the same as our leather what is the relationship?"
Xiao Gao sobbed, "Auntie, it's the new style that snatches away all the customers of the leather goods store. No customer is willing to buy leather goods. Which fur store would be willing to buy from us?"
Gao's body softened, "No...impossible?" No one bought it, so she lost all her money?That was the private money she had worked so hard to save for most of her life!
"Xinwan went out today and saw it with her own eyes. Now all the fur shops outside don't sell fur goods anymore. They sell the new down jackets from Suyifang! If she just listened to Xinwan's words, my niece might not believe it, but my niece saw it with her own eyes. Seeing the down jacket on Xinwan's body, even my niece can't wait to replace all the leather with down jackets, others must think the same. Auntie, what should I do now?"
Xiao Gao thought of the sad place, and burst into tears. The 1000 taels of silver borrowed from the bank, the interest of [-] copper coins a day, will be calculated from the day after tomorrow. Sell them all?
Xiao Gao is regretting it now. If he knew the goods were in his hands, he would immediately sell them to Lu Xinyan...
Hey, no!Shopkeeper Liu is the shopkeeper of the leather goods store, and he must be aware of the down jackets that Suyifang will produce!
"Auntie!" Xiao Gao suddenly raised her voice, "We were cheated by shopkeeper Liu! He must have known about the down jacket early in the morning, and deliberately tricked us into buying it with a discounted price!"
Gao was already angry and remorseful, but when she heard this, she became even more furious. She stood up, put one hand on her waist, and pointed at Xiao Gao's nose with the other, cursing loudly: "It's all you idiot! I asked you before I bought it. You, what did you say? You said that you have been running for so many days, and you know the outside market very well. The fur market is extremely scarce, and the price has increased by [-]% compared to last year! You didn’t find out anything clearly, so you were clamoring to borrow money to stock up on fur goods , Not only will you lose all your money, but you will also lose all my coffin money! You stupid thing..."
Gao's saliva flew all over the place, and she acted like a shrew cursing the street. How could she have the inscrutable and calm image of a noble lady in a deep house that she tried to maintain before?
Xiao Gao was so scolded that she couldn't even raise her head, but she was muttering in her heart, I didn't let you buy it at the beginning, but you saw the profit, so you took the initiative to come up and say you want to buy it together, and now something happened, blame it on me On, how can there be such a reason?
But this time is obviously not the time to argue about who is right and who is wrong. When Mrs. Gao was tired of scolding, taking advantage of her panting, Mrs. Gao hurriedly said, "Auntie, the important thing now is what to do with these goods? Can you sell them to Lu Xinyan?" ? How much silver is appropriate to sell to her?"
"It's like this every time, shit everywhere, and let my mother wipe your ass!" Gao Shi sat down and took a few breaths, then gouged Xiao Gao fiercely, "Lu Xinyan is out of the house today, maybe this plain girl Lu Xinyan doesn't know anything about the clothes shop! The leather goods were bought for her, no matter what, she must eat them for me, more than 1000 taels of silver is all we have, but to her, it's just two sets Precious jewellery! Nanny Che, go and guard the gate. As soon as Lu Xinyan comes back, bring me the Ankang Institute! By the way, call the powerful nanny over here, in case that little bitch dares to deny her, I will force Make her admit it too!"
When Xiao Gao saw that Gao decided to let Lu Xinyan gnaw the dead cat, she was determined, and took two steps forward on her knees, "Auntie, there are a few maids who know kung fu around that little bitch, I'm afraid the nuns are not hers. opponent!"
"What are you afraid of?" Gao snorted coldly, "I'm her grandmother, she dares to commit a crime against me? If she really dares to do something, it's just right, I will ask Cong Yuan to arrest her for being unfilial. Send it to Yue Yue, and take the opportunity to snatch her dowry!"
Lu Xinyan, who came back from the Guangping Marquis Mansion, was flamboyant and unruly, bullied her sisters, and humiliated her aunt, but she never let them catch Gao Shi and Lu Congyuan for being unfilial.
"Auntie is clever!" Xiao Gao forced a flattering smile on her tear-filled face, too ugly to look directly at.
Lu Xinyan's carriage stopped at Uncle Ankang's mansion, and before she got out of the carriage, the door opened, and Madam Che rushed out, "Miss, the old lady is here to invite you."
By the light of the lantern, Lu Xinyan saw that Nanny Che was trembling all over, her lips were blue and purple, she had obviously been waiting here for a long time.
She slightly raised her lips and smiled, "I'll go back and wash my face first."
Mother Che said coldly: "The old lady has been waiting for a long time."
He didn't even give him the time to wash his face, it seems that something urgent happened!The biggest thing in the mansion these days is that Mrs. Gao and Mrs. Gao have hoarded more than 1000 taels of leather goods. It seems that they know about the down jacket!
"Madam Che, please lead the way."
Lu Xinyan went with big bags and small bags, but when she came back, she only brought some country dishes made by Yun's own hands. She asked Bai Zhi to take them back to Huanxiyuan, and she took Qingtong and followed Madam Che to Ankangyuan.
Four tall maidservants stood at the gate of the Ankang courtyard. When they saw Lu Xinyan and Qingtong, they stared at them fiercely.
"Did something happen to grandma?" Lu Xinyan asked deliberately: "In the past, there were not so many people guarding this yard."
"You'll know as soon as the eldest miss goes." Mother Che said dryly.
There were several servants standing outside the yard, and there were more than a dozen more in the yard. They all looked at Lu Xinyan with a malicious expression, as if they had received some kind of order.
Qingtong glanced at those people, and sneered disdainfully, "Miss, don't be afraid, let alone a dozen of these characters, even if there are dozens of them, I can knock them to the ground with one finger!"
Seeing that some people thought she was talking big words and showed contemptuous expressions, Qingtong jumped up and flew to the corner of the eaves like a bird, and quickly jumped back behind Lu Xinyan.
This move really worked, more than a dozen servants opened their mouths wide, their expressions changed from malicious to cautious.
Mother Che was also taken aback, swallowed her saliva, and shouted inside: "Old Madam, Missy is here."
"Let her in!" The voice was loud and abrupt, completely different from Gao Shi's usual tone of superiority.
Mother Che opened the curtain to let Lu Xinyan go in first, then stretched out her hand to block Qingtong from outside, "Slaves in the mansion are not allowed to be summoned, and they are not allowed to enter casually."
The last time Qingtong kicked Gaoling, Mammy Che still had a fresh memory, so Nanny Che dared to stop it symbolically. When Qingtong glanced over sharply, Nanny Che remembered that she had just revealed He silently withdrew his hand.
In the room, Mrs. Gao sat on the main seat, Mrs. Gao sat at the head of her, and Nanny Ling stood behind her.
The expressions of the three were tense and serious, as if they were facing a formidable enemy, but the moment they saw Lu Xinyan, they tried their best to smile.
Especially Xiao Gao, her eyes are still a little swollen, and she still has to squeeze her smile. Her whole face looks like the sequelae of excessive plastic surgery, stiff and hard, "Miss, you are finally back! I have a big girl!" Good news for you!"
"What good news?" Lu Xinyan asked cooperatively.
"I found out the source of fur goods today!" Xiao Gao pretended to be excited and said, "The price is the same as this year's market price, and there will be discounts for buying more! Now our fur shop will not worry about running out of goods in the next two months!"
It seems that Xiao Gao thought she didn't know about down jackets and wanted to trick her into buying leather goods. Lu Xinyan said with a smile: "Aunt Gao, thank you for your hard work. I also have good news to tell grandma!"
"What's the matter?" Gao Shi had to ask.
Lu Xinyan said: "I heard that Suyifang released down jackets today. The style is novel and affordable, and it keeps you warm. It is much more cost-effective than leather. I have already asked someone to tell Suyifang that the leather goods stores under my name will be sold this year. Just sell down jackets, not leather goods!"
"No!" Gao refused flatly, "A-Ning has traveled so many ways and received so many stares in order to find the source of goods for you. Now that he has finally found the source of goods and negotiated the price with them, how can you just say no? Pay attention to reputation, making money is a small matter, losing reputation is a big matter! You can't be fooled by the small profits in front of you, and lose the big profits in the future!"
This is so honestly said!Lu Xinyan showed a terrified expression, "Grandmother taught you the right thing! But I heard that the down jacket was on the market on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, but the fur merchant only approached Aunt Gao today, indicating that the other party knew that the fur goods could not be sold, so he sold them to you. Our idea, for this kind of profiteers who do it intentionally and profit first, I don't think there is any need to talk about credibility to them!"
Profiteer?Gao's back teeth tightened, Xiao Gao didn't care about being embarrassed by the insinuation, and said eagerly: "But I have already paid the deposit! If I go back on my word, the deposit will not be refunded!"
"Aunt Gao," Lu Xinyan said with a half-smile, "I handed over the leather goods store to my grandmother and you, but I didn't give you the right to do so! Even if you find the source of the goods, you should let the shopkeeper go and see the goods. It's worth it." What price, what kind of fur to choose, and how much money to buy! This business has business experience, and I am not an outsider. I was fooled into ordering such a simple thing! Aunt Gao made troubles by herself, and she solved it by herself. Forgive the other party for a little Small merchants, don't really dare to confront the uncle's house!"
Xiao Gao was ridiculed nakedly, her face flushed with laughter, and finally she had to tell the truth, "I didn't place an order, I paid the full price for the purchase, and now the goods are in our uncle's house!"
"The goods are bought back, Aunt Gao will find a way to sell them herself!" Lu Xinyan shrugged, "I can't sell them all this year, and I will sell them next year. Anyway, there are food, drinks and monthly money in the mansion, but it is money spent. If you want to get it later, Aunt Gao will teach you a lesson!"
"Bastard!" Mrs. Gao slapped the armrest vigorously, and reprimanded sharply, "Aunt Gao bought these goods for you. How can you put your hands down and say no to it because of a small profit? This kind of ruthlessness I will never allow such unrighteous things to happen under my nose!"
Lu Xinyan smiled slightly, "Grandmother is planning to buy and sell by force?"
"I'm teaching you the principles of being a human being!" Gao's face was full of righteousness, "Since your mother didn't teach you when she was alive, let me, the grandmother, teach you!"
"You taught me, what qualifications do you have?" Lu Xinyan sneered: "My mother really didn't teach me well back then. She shouldn't have taught me to respect elders and love sisters. She should have taught me. If anyone slaps me, I will punish you." If you slap someone ten times, if anyone takes me a paulownia board, I will take away a tael of silver!"
"You...you...you dare to openly disobey me?" Gao Shi trembled with anger, and said sharply: "Lu Xinyan, I'm leaving my words here today, you buy it if you buy it, or buy it if you don't buy it, otherwise don't blame me for being rude. !"
Lu Xinyan smiled contemptuously, "Why are you impolite? With the trash outside? Or with the trash inside?"
The few words of trash made everyone in the room so angry that their breathing was heavy.
Mrs. Gao stretched out her trembling fingers, "Lu Xinyan, don't forget, I am your own grandmother! If you dare to fight with me and spread the word, you will get a bad name for disrespecting your elders. Just because of this, I can ask Cong Yuan to send you to the Moon Temple, no one dares to say no!"
Lu Xinyan tilted her head, "Try it? Do you think I'm gone, can you take my dowry away easily? If I, Lu Xinyan, only had this ability, I wouldn't come back from Guangping Marquis Mansion, this dirty Ankang Bo House!"
"You...you..." Gao was furious, his eyes turned white, and he was about to faint. Seeing that the conversation was so stiff, Xiao Gao quickly smoothed things over, "Miss, I did this wrong, otherwise, I'll sell that product to you at a [-]% discount, and I'll lose a little, and you'll lose a little too, our family, don't hurt your peace for this little money!"
"Aunt Gao, you are just an aunt, how can you be qualified to be my family?" Lu Xinyan sneered, "Every child knows that the mistakes they make should be borne by themselves!"
"[-]% off, [-]% off?" Xiao Gao didn't care about Lu Xinyan's ridicule, and just wanted her to spend money to buy the goods, "You see, my aunt is so angry, why don't you just give in? Don't you think I'm Family, but your aunt is your real grandmother, the so-called family and everything prosper."
"Not interested!" Lu Xinyan said lazily, "If there is nothing else, I'm tired, so I'll go back and rest first."
"Stop!" Gao yelled angrily.
"[-]% off! How about [-]% off?" Xiao Gao asked eagerly at the same time.
Lu Xinyan turned around and smiled at Xiao Gao. Just when Xiao Gao thought that Lu Xinyan had changed her mind, she heard her say: "To tell you the truth, if you give me away for nothing, I can think about it. Don't talk about anything else!"
Xiao Gao took a few breaths and looked at Lu Xinyan in disbelief, "You...you are so cruel?"
The smile on Lu Xin's face quickly faded away, and she was as cold as ice, "When you all joined hands to deal with my mother, when did your heart soften?"
"Come here! Block the door for me! Don't let this little slut out!" Gao ordered angrily, since his face had been torn apart, there was nothing to worry about.
Lu Xinyan chuckled, "Only with these dozen or so people? It's not even enough to plug Qingtong's teeth!"
Facing Lu Xinyan's sarcastic face, Gao sneered and said, "Do you think that's all I'm going to do? Now Huanxiyuan has been surrounded by my people. They hold kerosene and torches in their hands. As long as I give an order, Huanxiyuan will All the people in the courtyard, including Huanxiyuan, will be reduced to ashes in an instant! Lu Xinyan, I only planned to let you buy all the furs in Aning's hands before, but now, I want half of your dowry! You want your beloved maidservant Ladies, you still want silver, you choose yourself!"
When Xiao Gao heard this, she was immediately overjoyed, she didn't expect Gao to use such a killer move, Gao, really brilliant!
She reversed her attitude of begging Lu Xinyan to buy the leather goods, and said arrogantly: "The price of the fur goods is twice the previous market price, and I won't accept a copper plate less!"
Lu Xinyan's expression finally changed, she never expected that the Gao family would actually set fire to people in the mansion for money!
There are Baizhi, Xiaohe, Shuyun, Piaoyue, Xingluo, Xiazhi, Chengmao, Lvmao...except for Xingluo Xiazhi, they are all people who have followed her for half a year. They have long been like relatives. How can we let go?
She doesn't feel bad for money, money is for spending, it's for making money when it's gone, but if she wants to give the money that her mother Lin Ruyue has worked so hard for her to give to the person who indirectly put her mother to death, she is not reconciled, really Not reconciled!
"Lu Xinyan, it's getting late, I don't have time to waste time with you! I'll count by dozens. If you agree, I will immediately write a written statement on the spot and exchange money. If you don't agree, I will immediately set fire to Huanxiyuan! "
"one two Three…"
In Lu Xinyan's heart, heaven and man are at war, and Qingtong's kung fu is the best, but she wants to protect me, Jun Wuziyan is in the front yard, and has no idea what happened in the backyard!
"four, five, six…"
Xing Luoxia knows that she has some skills, but if they can save themselves, how can they save others?And those servants in the mansion who are helping the tyrant must be guarding the gate of the Huanxiyuan, and come out to kill one by one!
"Seven, eight, nine..."

(End of this chapter)
In the morning, the Hall of Valor, the place where Emperor Longde and his courtiers went to court early.
In the majestic and majestic Hall of Valor, Emperor Longde, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, sat crookedly on a high dragon chair, listening expressionlessly to the ministers reporting on political affairs step by step.
There has been no news about the Southwest War. Emperor Longde's temper is getting more irritable every day. The ministers are very winking and dare not say a word.
Those who used to like to criticize each other are also friendly now.
There was an imperceptible sneer on the corner of Emperor Longde's mouth. Is it really peaceful to whitewash the peace?
His expression was indifferent, and he hadn't said a single word since the early morning, and his body remained motionless, like the Jade Emperor being enshrined. He said the political affairs he was talking about dryly, and he didn't even have the courage to look up at Emperor Longde's expression quietly.
The atmosphere in the hall became more and more rigid, everyone was dry, with the courage of the execution ground, stepped forward to say what they should say, and quickly retreated to their positions.
Just when the atmosphere was so heavy that it was almost breathless, the eunuch's high-pitched voice sounded outside, "Report! Southwest news!"
Emperor Longde seemed to be injected with immortal power in an instant, his eyes were like moments, and he stood up involuntarily, "Quick pass!"
He stepped down from the Dragon Throne himself, and directly received the good news from the eunuch who came to summon him. This kind of behavior was greatly against the rules, and it was something Tianwu had never done before!But at this time, everyone including the censor pretended not to see it.
After reading it, Emperor Longde was so excited that he looked up to the sky and laughed, "Good! Good! Good! General Zhengxi defeated the 40 army of Wacha with 35 people. Our army lost [-] and the enemy's [-] troops were wiped out! Old General Li led [-] Li family troops to hold on to Qiyun Mountain for a month, not giving up an inch of land, and finally succeeded in conquering the Western Army! Young Master Li identified a strange poison from the river to prevent the entire army from being annihilated. Assassinate the army, let the strategy of General Zhengxi be perfectly implemented, and make a great contribution! Good! Hahahahaha!"
Won?The 40 troops conquering the west actually defeated the 35 Wacha army and destroyed 40 others?This... this Xiao Yichen, the great general Zhengxi and the son of Duke Zhenguo, could it be that he is the reincarnation of a god, with aura to protect him?Otherwise, how can you beat [-] with [-]?
If these words were not spoken by Emperor Longde himself, almost no one would dare to believe them, but the good news is in the hands of Emperor Longde, so it is certainly true!
I'm afraid that the government of the town is about to wake up!The third prince..., in the court hall, some people were happy and some were sad, some were envious and some were jealous, and some were lowering their heads and thinking carefully.
Someone thought about it carefully, this General Zhengxi knows, Old General Li knows, who is this young master Li?
"Your Majesty," Ji Kun, Minister of the Ministry of War, saw the haze on Emperor Longde's face dissipate, and boldly asked, "Who is this Young Master Li?"
Emperor Longde was overjoyed at this time, "Li Yu, the only grandson of Old General Li! Hahaha, general's son, very good, very good!"
Li Yu?Isn't that Li Yu in the middle of the capital who runs behind the little daughter-in-law and the big girl every day, her body is smelly, and her mother made her look like a jade doll?
That Li Yu, who was carved with jade, with delicate skin and tender flesh, actually went to join the army, and actually made a head start?
All the ministers gasped in unison. The degree of shock of this news was second only to Xiao Yichen's killing the opponent's 35 with [-]!
"I've never heard of Mr. Li joining the army!" Ji Kun said to himself, although there are so many people joining the army, Ji Kun can't be remembered by everyone, but Li Yu has a special status. If he comes to sign up for the army, Mrs. Li's Tears probably flooded his Shangshu Palace!
Ji Kun's words didn't mean much at first, but he just felt puzzled and blurted out. As a result, a majestic and cold gaze glanced at him, and Ji Kun shuddered gorgeously, and immediately said: "I remember, Mr. Li It was the minister who was looking for it privately, and he was told to keep it from Madam Li, but the minister was busy dispatching troops at the time, so he forgot about it for a while."
No matter how Li Yu joined the army, who dares to say that he is not right now that he has made his first contribution and returned?
Retracting his majestic gaze, Ji Kun secretly sighed, and quietly wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.
"Ji Aiqing, announce this good news to the world. On the way back from the western expedition, all states and governments must treat you wholeheartedly! This military achievement record book will arrive in a few days, and you must immediately make a reward list and hand it over to me for personal reading. Rewards will be distributed, and after the Western Expeditionary Army returns to Beijing, there will be a celebration banquet!"
Generally speaking, the victorious troops who return to the imperial court will go back to their respective homes first, and hold a celebration banquet the next day. At the celebration banquet, they will be rewarded on the spot. There has never been a reason why military merit rewards have already been given before anyone has returned. .
It seems that the emperor is extremely satisfied with this battle in the Southwest!
"Sir, obey the order!"
Wu Chang, Qing of Taichang Temple, came out and said: "My Majesty, if you protect our court today, the great victory in the Southwest, and the [-]th Winter Solstice ceremony, I suggest that winter hunting be held later. At the celebration banquet, the prey should be cooked into delicacies. , to reward the heroic soldiers who returned in triumph!"
At this time, Emperor Longde's heart is happy, and everything is pleasing to his ears, "According to what Aiqing said! Pass down the order, and officials above the third rank can bring their family members with them! After the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, a winter hunting contest will be held. Those who win the first place will be rewarded! "
"I will obey your orders!"
Originally, the ministers didn't want to bring their family members with them for this sacrifice to heaven, they were afraid that something might happen accidentally and the emperor's eyes would be blocked, and their heads would be lost!
Now that the good news came, Emperor Longde was happy, and everyone had to be happy too, no matter if he was sincere or not.
Today is the tenth day of the lunar new year, and the winter solstice is only five days away. As soon as the morning court, everyone went home and told people to prepare.
This is true of the court, and so is the harem.
Originally, Emperor Longde was in a bad mood, and the queen mother was also in a bad mood. Now that the good news came out, the dark clouds covering the palace dissipated, and the queen mother was overjoyed.
Feng Shi is a first-class wife and has a good relationship with the Queen Mother, so naturally she can't escape.
It was Eunuch Lin who was next to the Queen Mother who came to announce the decree. After hearing this, Mrs. Feng wept with joy, "Jin'er, did you hear that? We won the battle, we won!"
In front of Eunuch Lin, Feng Shi did not say Li Yu's name, but Gong Jin didn't know what she meant that Li Yu was coming back.
With tears in her eyes, Gong Jin said, "Yes, Mommy, our Tianwu won."
Eunuch Lin didn't know why, but after seeing and hearing that they had won the battle, the two hugged each other and wept. As a woman, she cared about the country and the people, deeply admired!After returning home, I told the queen mother about this matter, the queen mother was moved, and looked up to the two of them even more!
After Eunuch Lin left, Lu Xinyan helped the two of them up, and exchanged glances with Gong Jin tacitly.
"Grandmother, Mr. Li is coming back. It's a good thing. Don't cry."
Feng wiped her tears, "Grandmother is so happy, Jin'er, my Jin'er, finally has someone to love, and has a good home."
Gong Jin felt sour, "Aniang, your daughter is unfilial, and you were worried before."
"All hardships are rewarding, Jin'er, mother has always believed that you are a lucky person!"
Lu Xinyan smiled and said, "Grandmother, fourth aunt, congratulations!"
"Thank you Zhuzhu." Gong Jin glanced at her, tacitly.
Seeing Feng's joy and sorrow, Lu Xinyan was worried that she would hurt her health, so she changed the subject, "Grandmother, when Zhuzhu just came here, I found that there are a lot fewer servants in this mansion. Now that my aunt is pregnant, it's not suitable to work hard, and the fourth aunt has to start again." To prepare the dowry, there must be insufficient manpower in this mansion, in Zhuzhu's opinion, it is time to add some servants to this mansion."
Feng thought this was the reason, "Zhuzhu, you think carefully, grandma will do it right away!"
Lu Xinyan stayed until dark and had dinner before leaving. She talked with Feng Shi, taught Gong Xiaodong and Gong Qian how to draw, and spent a very happy afternoon.
The snow has stopped for two days, but there has been no sunshine, and it has not melted. Even though it is dark, the whole world is still gray and white.
There were two red lanterns hanging in front of Lu Xinyan's carriage, illuminating the surroundings in orange, like sunlight passing by.
When the two small warm fireballs got farther and farther away, leaving only two small bright spots, a thin figure came out from the side alley.
He stared blankly at the carriage whose outline could no longer be seen clearly.
That woman, sitting in that car, has nothing to do with him now, and he can't even find a suitable reason for wanting to look at her.
Miyata Yu didn't know how long he stood in this alley, and he didn't know why he came here, he only knew that when he heard that Lu Xinyan had gone to Guangping Marquis Mansion, he hurried over.
After arriving, he stood in front of the familiar gate, but found that this was no longer his home, at least not a home where he could come and go freely.
He couldn't pretend to meet her by chance in the mansion as he imagined, greeted her with a smile, and asked her how she was doing recently?
It turns out that even such a simple meeting has become a luxury.
Five days ago in the morning, Miyata Yu found that his body was functioning normally. He, who was supposed to be excited, didn't feel happy at all.
Without the entanglement of desires, I want to understand many things, and I also think of many things in the past.
In fact, he and she also had childhood sweethearts, and had many warm and happy days.
It's just that some things are gone when they are past, and they can never go back to the past. Some people are lost when they are lost, and they can never be found again.
Lu Xinyan, I wish you all the best in the future!
-
After Lu Xinyan left in the morning, Mrs. Gao and Mrs. Gao hid in the house, secretly discussing how much they should sell those leather goods to Lu Xinyan.
Xiao Gao said: "Auntie, my niece suggested that last year's price be increased by [-]%. I heard that the price was the same in the market before!"
Gao shook his head, "[-]% is too little, think about it, the price in the market has increased by [-]% last year, that is when the goods can be obtained, if you can't get the goods, you have to get them from others at a high price, at least you have to go up." Forty percent or more!"
Xiao Gao felt reasonable, "Auntie is right. Now everyone knows that there is a shortage of leather goods in the market, and even if you have money, you can't buy them. The so-called rare goods are available for living. Auntie, how about a [-]% increase? My niece feels no worries about not being able to sell them!"
Gao Shi gritted her teeth, "Then it's [-]% more, anyway, [-]% more is not too much! Besides, Lu Xinyan doesn't have much else, only Lin Ruyue left her a lot of money! If there is no stock to sell, this fur shop will at least lose a few dollars." One hundred taels of silver, and offending regular customers! Now that we have goods to introduce to her, she has absolutely no reason to think it expensive!"
"Increase by [-]%!" Xiao Gao continued to increase the price, "My niece ran away for several days, apologizing to people everywhere, looking at people's faces, she has received more supercilious glances than my niece has received since she was a child, and she has to discount everything. Into silver, get it back from her."
"Then eighty percent!"
"Ninety percent!"...
The more they discussed, the more excited they became, and finally they set the price at double. It used to be one or two taels of silver per piece, but now it is three or three taels of silver per piece.
After the agreement was made, the two began to stay at home, waiting for Lu Xinyan to return from the Guangping Marquis Mansion.
After lunch, no one came back for a long time, Gao couldn't bear it because of his age, "A Ning, I can't hold it anymore, let's rest for a while, you go back first, after Lu Xinyan comes back, tell her to come to me right away .”
Xiao Gao had a cold two days ago, and her body has not recovered. She has stayed here for so long because of her enthusiasm. Now that Gao said this, she also felt that she couldn't hold it anymore, "Auntie, take a good rest, My niece is leaving first."
Xiao Gao had just walked to the gate of Jinse Courtyard when she ran into Lu Xinwan who was about to come to her.
"Aniang, look at my clothes, do you look good?"
Lu Xinwan suffered a big loss a few days ago, she was depressed, she didn't dare to speak up, and she was afraid of being seen by others, so after two days of recuperation, taking advantage of the better weather today, she asked Lu Xinhan to go out together.
Accidentally passed Suyifang, attracted by the clothes inside, bought a few.
As a woman who loves beauty extremely, a beautiful dress can make her forget most of her sorrows.
Lu Xinwan put the loss behind her for the time being, and came to Xiao Gao's to show off as soon as she came back.
Xiao Gao's eyelids were so heavy that she couldn't even lift her eyes, she didn't look at it, and said directly: "In two days, mother will pick the best leather for you to make a new dress."
Lu Xinwan curled her lips in disgust, "Who still wears leather clothes now? How old-fashioned, I don't even want to give it to me! If you love your daughter, wait a few days for the Suyifang to come out with a new style. Go and buy two for your daughter. I heard that the better-looking styles there were all ordered. My daughter was lucky. When I went there, a customer bought it for my niece. As a result, my niece got fat and couldn’t wear it, so I had to return it so that my daughter could get it. skillful…"
Most people in the capital know that Lu Xinyan has a share in the Suyifang, but the few people in the Ankangbo Mansion belong to the minority who don't know.
Xiao Gao was dizzy, and she didn't realize it until Lu Xinwan had finished talking, her eyes widened suddenly, "What are you talking about? You don't even want to send it off to you? Why, didn't you like it the most before?"
"You've said it before. This year, whoever still wears leather will wear the down jacket my daughter wears. It's fresh, cheap and beautiful, and it's no worse than leather! My daughter went out today and saw many people wearing it on the street. Those fur shops, They don’t sell leather anymore, they are all selling down jackets, men’s, women’s, old, young, all kinds of styles. As long as there is a slightly better color, they will be snatched up as soon as they go up...”
Lu Xinwan's mouth opened and closed, Xiao Gao couldn't hear her at all, she only heard those words: fur shop, not selling leather, selling down jackets!
If she doesn't sell leather anymore, then who will she sell those leathers she hoarded at a high price?
Xiao Gao looked at Lu Xinwan dumbfoundedly. It was a red down jacket with pipa buckle design, it was long to the feet, and it also wore a hat with white fox fur. The whole person looked like a It looks like candied haws, but it's extremely beautiful, at least after Lu Xinwan puts it on, her already gorgeous face is even more eye-catching!
Anyone who sees it will want such a down jacket, not the leather ones that you have every year!
Xiao Gao's complexion turned pale, a cloud of turbid air rose, his eyes turned dark, and his body was crumbling.
Lu Xinwan hurriedly supported her, and said anxiously: "Aniang, Aniang, what's the matter with you?"
The voice was near and far, clear and hazy. Xiao Gao tried to help her to go to the Ankang Hospital, but couldn't say a word, and quickly tilted her head and passed out.
When Xiao Gao woke up, it was almost dusk, Lu Xinwan sat on the bed and took a nap, the scarlet down jacket on her body hurt Xiao Gao's eyes.
She lifted the quilt, struggled to get off the ground, and woke up Lu Xinwan, "Mother, the doctor told me that you should take a good rest! Whether you are thirsty or hungry, my daughter has someone prepare it for you."
Xiao Gao was shocked by the news just now, and his body was very weak due to his previous illness. With this movement, he already started to pant, "I'm going to your grandmother's."
"Aniang, my daughter asked Nanny Ling to ask for leave from grandma, saying that you are not feeling well, and grandma agrees that you don't have to go to ask for peace for a few days. When you feel comfortable, just go to her yard."
"I'm not going to pay my respects, I have something important to discuss with your grandmother." Xiao Gao said weakly.
"What's the matter, can't we discuss it tomorrow? No matter how important the matter is, it's more important than your body?" Lu Xinwan held her down and refused to let her go.
Xiao Gao didn't have time to argue with Lu Xinwan, "Nurse Ling, quickly help me to my aunt's."
Seeing that she was so persistent, Lu Xinwan had no choice but to give up, "My daughter will go with you."
"No, you can go back and rest, your body is just right, don't be too tired."
Lu Xinwan lowered her head guiltily. After suffering a loss a few days ago, her body ached and her heart felt uncomfortable, so she lied to Xiao Gao that she was not feeling well, and stayed in the house for three days, "Got it, Auntie, the daughter will go back first."
Xiao Gao came to the Ankang Hospital with the support of Ling Nai. At this time, Gao was completely unaware.
Seeing Xiao Gao coming over sickly, Gao's face was full of displeasure, "Ah Ning, don't run around when you are not in good health, what if you infect others?"
The old man is old, and he is prone to get sick. Xiao Gao's disease came here like this, and he doesn't know what to worry about!
Mrs. Gao covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and she was very unwilling to talk face to face with Mrs. Gao.
Little Gao couldn't control what Gao was thinking at the moment, and after signaling Nanny Ling to let her go, she knelt down on the ground with a plop, crying bitterly, "Auntie, what should I do now?"
Gao became more and more disgusted, "Why did you come to me and cry? In front of the servants, what are you talking about?"
"Aunt," Xiao Gao broke down in tears, "Pi Zi, there is something wrong with Pi Zi..."
"What's the problem? What's the problem?" Gao frowned. When it was delivered on the eighth day of the lunar new year, she went to see it in person. They were all high-quality goods. In the past two days, Madam Che had to go around the neighborhood from time to time. In case there are people with dirty hands and feet in the mansion, sneaking along the two sheets, watching so closely, what's the problem?
"Suyifang... came out with a new style..." Xiao Gao intermittently, Gao interrupted impatiently, "Suyifang has new styles every two days, what's so strange? This is not the same as our leather what is the relationship?"
Xiao Gao sobbed, "Auntie, it's the new style that snatches away all the customers of the leather goods store. No customer is willing to buy leather goods. Which fur store would be willing to buy from us?"
Gao's body softened, "No...impossible?" No one bought it, so she lost all her money?That was the private money she had worked so hard to save for most of her life!
"Xinwan went out today and saw it with her own eyes. Now all the fur shops outside don't sell fur goods anymore. They sell the new down jackets from Suyifang! If she just listened to Xinwan's words, my niece might not believe it, but my niece saw it with her own eyes. Seeing the down jacket on Xinwan's body, even my niece can't wait to replace all the leather with down jackets, others must think the same. Auntie, what should I do now?"
Xiao Gao thought of the sad place, and burst into tears. The 1000 taels of silver borrowed from the bank, the interest of [-] copper coins a day, will be calculated from the day after tomorrow. Sell them all?
Xiao Gao is regretting it now. If he knew the goods were in his hands, he would immediately sell them to Lu Xinyan...
Hey, no!Shopkeeper Liu is the shopkeeper of the leather goods store, and he must be aware of the down jackets that Suyifang will produce!
"Auntie!" Xiao Gao suddenly raised her voice, "We were cheated by shopkeeper Liu! He must have known about the down jacket early in the morning, and deliberately tricked us into buying it with a discounted price!"
Gao was already angry and remorseful, but when she heard this, she became even more furious. She stood up, put one hand on her waist, and pointed at Xiao Gao's nose with the other, cursing loudly: "It's all you idiot! I asked you before I bought it. You, what did you say? You said that you have been running for so many days, and you know the outside market very well. The fur market is extremely scarce, and the price has increased by [-]% compared to last year! You didn’t find out anything clearly, so you were clamoring to borrow money to stock up on fur goods , Not only will you lose all your money, but you will also lose all my coffin money! You stupid thing..."
Gao's saliva flew all over the place, and she acted like a shrew cursing the street. How could she have the inscrutable and calm image of a noble lady in a deep house that she tried to maintain before?
Xiao Gao was so scolded that she couldn't even raise her head, but she was muttering in her heart, I didn't let you buy it at the beginning, but you saw the profit, so you took the initiative to come up and say you want to buy it together, and now something happened, blame it on me On, how can there be such a reason?
But this time is obviously not the time to argue about who is right and who is wrong. When Mrs. Gao was tired of scolding, taking advantage of her panting, Mrs. Gao hurriedly said, "Auntie, the important thing now is what to do with these goods? Can you sell them to Lu Xinyan?" ? How much silver is appropriate to sell to her?"
"It's like this every time, shit everywhere, and let my mother wipe your ass!" Gao Shi sat down and took a few breaths, then gouged Xiao Gao fiercely, "Lu Xinyan is out of the house today, maybe this plain girl Lu Xinyan doesn't know anything about the clothes shop! The leather goods were bought for her, no matter what, she must eat them for me, more than 1000 taels of silver is all we have, but to her, it's just two sets Precious jewellery! Nanny Che, go and guard the gate. As soon as Lu Xinyan comes back, bring me the Ankang Institute! By the way, call the powerful nanny over here, in case that little bitch dares to deny her, I will force Make her admit it too!"
When Xiao Gao saw that Gao decided to let Lu Xinyan gnaw the dead cat, she was determined, and took two steps forward on her knees, "Auntie, there are a few maids who know kung fu around that little bitch, I'm afraid the nuns are not hers. opponent!"
"What are you afraid of?" Gao snorted coldly, "I'm her grandmother, she dares to commit a crime against me? If she really dares to do something, it's just right, I will ask Cong Yuan to arrest her for being unfilial. Send it to Yue Yue, and take the opportunity to snatch her dowry!"
Lu Xinyan, who came back from the Guangping Marquis Mansion, was flamboyant and unruly, bullied her sisters, and humiliated her aunt, but she never let them catch Gao Shi and Lu Congyuan for being unfilial.
"Auntie is clever!" Xiao Gao forced a flattering smile on her tear-filled face, too ugly to look directly at.
Lu Xinyan's carriage stopped at Uncle Ankang's mansion, and before she got out of the carriage, the door opened, and Madam Che rushed out, "Miss, the old lady is here to invite you."
By the light of the lantern, Lu Xinyan saw that Nanny Che was trembling all over, her lips were blue and purple, she had obviously been waiting here for a long time.
She slightly raised her lips and smiled, "I'll go back and wash my face first."
Mother Che said coldly: "The old lady has been waiting for a long time."
He didn't even give him the time to wash his face, it seems that something urgent happened!The biggest thing in the mansion these days is that Mrs. Gao and Mrs. Gao have hoarded more than 1000 taels of leather goods. It seems that they know about the down jacket!
"Madam Che, please lead the way."
Lu Xinyan went with big bags and small bags, but when she came back, she only brought some country dishes made by Yun's own hands. She asked Bai Zhi to take them back to Huanxiyuan, and she took Qingtong and followed Madam Che to Ankangyuan.
Four tall maidservants stood at the gate of the Ankang courtyard. When they saw Lu Xinyan and Qingtong, they stared at them fiercely.
"Did something happen to grandma?" Lu Xinyan asked deliberately: "In the past, there were not so many people guarding this yard."
"You'll know as soon as the eldest miss goes." Mother Che said dryly.
There were several servants standing outside the yard, and there were more than a dozen more in the yard. They all looked at Lu Xinyan with a malicious expression, as if they had received some kind of order.
Qingtong glanced at those people, and sneered disdainfully, "Miss, don't be afraid, let alone a dozen of these characters, even if there are dozens of them, I can knock them to the ground with one finger!"
Seeing that some people thought she was talking big words and showed contemptuous expressions, Qingtong jumped up and flew to the corner of the eaves like a bird, and quickly jumped back behind Lu Xinyan.
This move really worked, more than a dozen servants opened their mouths wide, their expressions changed from malicious to cautious.
Mother Che was also taken aback, swallowed her saliva, and shouted inside: "Old Madam, Missy is here."
"Let her in!" The voice was loud and abrupt, completely different from Gao Shi's usual tone of superiority.
Mother Che opened the curtain to let Lu Xinyan go in first, then stretched out her hand to block Qingtong from outside, "Slaves in the mansion are not allowed to be summoned, and they are not allowed to enter casually."
The last time Qingtong kicked Gaoling, Mammy Che still had a fresh memory, so Nanny Che dared to stop it symbolically. When Qingtong glanced over sharply, Nanny Che remembered that she had just revealed He silently withdrew his hand.
In the room, Mrs. Gao sat on the main seat, Mrs. Gao sat at the head of her, and Nanny Ling stood behind her.
The expressions of the three were tense and serious, as if they were facing a formidable enemy, but the moment they saw Lu Xinyan, they tried their best to smile.
Especially Xiao Gao, her eyes are still a little swollen, and she still has to squeeze her smile. Her whole face looks like the sequelae of excessive plastic surgery, stiff and hard, "Miss, you are finally back! I have a big girl!" Good news for you!"
"What good news?" Lu Xinyan asked cooperatively.
"I found out the source of fur goods today!" Xiao Gao pretended to be excited and said, "The price is the same as this year's market price, and there will be discounts for buying more! Now our fur shop will not worry about running out of goods in the next two months!"
It seems that Xiao Gao thought she didn't know about down jackets and wanted to trick her into buying leather goods. Lu Xinyan said with a smile: "Aunt Gao, thank you for your hard work. I also have good news to tell grandma!"
"What's the matter?" Gao Shi had to ask.
Lu Xinyan said: "I heard that Suyifang released down jackets today. The style is novel and affordable, and it keeps you warm. It is much more cost-effective than leather. I have already asked someone to tell Suyifang that the leather goods stores under my name will be sold this year. Just sell down jackets, not leather goods!"
"No!" Gao refused flatly, "A-Ning has traveled so many ways and received so many stares in order to find the source of goods for you. Now that he has finally found the source of goods and negotiated the price with them, how can you just say no? Pay attention to reputation, making money is a small matter, losing reputation is a big matter! You can't be fooled by the small profits in front of you, and lose the big profits in the future!"
This is so honestly said!Lu Xinyan showed a terrified expression, "Grandmother taught you the right thing! But I heard that the down jacket was on the market on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, but the fur merchant only approached Aunt Gao today, indicating that the other party knew that the fur goods could not be sold, so he sold them to you. Our idea, for this kind of profiteers who do it intentionally and profit first, I don't think there is any need to talk about credibility to them!"
Profiteer?Gao's back teeth tightened, Xiao Gao didn't care about being embarrassed by the insinuation, and said eagerly: "But I have already paid the deposit! If I go back on my word, the deposit will not be refunded!"
"Aunt Gao," Lu Xinyan said with a half-smile, "I handed over the leather goods store to my grandmother and you, but I didn't give you the right to do so! Even if you find the source of the goods, you should let the shopkeeper go and see the goods. It's worth it." What price, what kind of fur to choose, and how much money to buy! This business has business experience, and I am not an outsider. I was fooled into ordering such a simple thing! Aunt Gao made troubles by herself, and she solved it by herself. Forgive the other party for a little Small merchants, don't really dare to confront the uncle's house!"
Xiao Gao was ridiculed nakedly, her face flushed with laughter, and finally she had to tell the truth, "I didn't place an order, I paid the full price for the purchase, and now the goods are in our uncle's house!"
"The goods are bought back, Aunt Gao will find a way to sell them herself!" Lu Xinyan shrugged, "I can't sell them all this year, and I will sell them next year. Anyway, there are food, drinks and monthly money in the mansion, but it is money spent. If you want to get it later, Aunt Gao will teach you a lesson!"
"Bastard!" Mrs. Gao slapped the armrest vigorously, and reprimanded sharply, "Aunt Gao bought these goods for you. How can you put your hands down and say no to it because of a small profit? This kind of ruthlessness I will never allow such unrighteous things to happen under my nose!"
Lu Xinyan smiled slightly, "Grandmother is planning to buy and sell by force?"
"I'm teaching you the principles of being a human being!" Gao's face was full of righteousness, "Since your mother didn't teach you when she was alive, let me, the grandmother, teach you!"
"You taught me, what qualifications do you have?" Lu Xinyan sneered: "My mother really didn't teach me well back then. She shouldn't have taught me to respect elders and love sisters. She should have taught me. If anyone slaps me, I will punish you." If you slap someone ten times, if anyone takes me a paulownia board, I will take away a tael of silver!"
"You...you...you dare to openly disobey me?" Gao Shi trembled with anger, and said sharply: "Lu Xinyan, I'm leaving my words here today, you buy it if you buy it, or buy it if you don't buy it, otherwise don't blame me for being rude. !"
Lu Xinyan smiled contemptuously, "Why are you impolite? With the trash outside? Or with the trash inside?"
The few words of trash made everyone in the room so angry that their breathing was heavy.
Mrs. Gao stretched out her trembling fingers, "Lu Xinyan, don't forget, I am your own grandmother! If you dare to fight with me and spread the word, you will get a bad name for disrespecting your elders. Just because of this, I can ask Cong Yuan to send you to the Moon Temple, no one dares to say no!"
Lu Xinyan tilted her head, "Try it? Do you think I'm gone, can you take my dowry away easily? If I, Lu Xinyan, only had this ability, I wouldn't come back from Guangping Marquis Mansion, this dirty Ankang Bo House!"
"You...you..." Gao was furious, his eyes turned white, and he was about to faint. Seeing that the conversation was so stiff, Xiao Gao quickly smoothed things over, "Miss, I did this wrong, otherwise, I'll sell that product to you at a [-]% discount, and I'll lose a little, and you'll lose a little too, our family, don't hurt your peace for this little money!"
"Aunt Gao, you are just an aunt, how can you be qualified to be my family?" Lu Xinyan sneered, "Every child knows that the mistakes they make should be borne by themselves!"
"[-]% off, [-]% off?" Xiao Gao didn't care about Lu Xinyan's ridicule, and just wanted her to spend money to buy the goods, "You see, my aunt is so angry, why don't you just give in? Don't you think I'm Family, but your aunt is your real grandmother, the so-called family and everything prosper."
"Not interested!" Lu Xinyan said lazily, "If there is nothing else, I'm tired, so I'll go back and rest first."
"Stop!" Gao yelled angrily.
"[-]% off! How about [-]% off?" Xiao Gao asked eagerly at the same time.
Lu Xinyan turned around and smiled at Xiao Gao. Just when Xiao Gao thought that Lu Xinyan had changed her mind, she heard her say: "To tell you the truth, if you give me away for nothing, I can think about it. Don't talk about anything else!"
Xiao Gao took a few breaths and looked at Lu Xinyan in disbelief, "You...you are so cruel?"
The smile on Lu Xin's face quickly faded away, and she was as cold as ice, "When you all joined hands to deal with my mother, when did your heart soften?"
"Come here! Block the door for me! Don't let this little slut out!" Gao ordered angrily, since his face had been torn apart, there was nothing to worry about.
Lu Xinyan chuckled, "Only with these dozen or so people? It's not even enough to plug Qingtong's teeth!"
Facing Lu Xinyan's sarcastic face, Gao sneered and said, "Do you think that's all I'm going to do? Now Huanxiyuan has been surrounded by my people. They hold kerosene and torches in their hands. As long as I give an order, Huanxiyuan will All the people in the courtyard, including Huanxiyuan, will be reduced to ashes in an instant! Lu Xinyan, I only planned to let you buy all the furs in Aning's hands before, but now, I want half of your dowry! You want your beloved maidservant Ladies, you still want silver, you choose yourself!"
When Xiao Gao heard this, she was immediately overjoyed, she didn't expect Gao to use such a killer move, Gao, really brilliant!
She reversed her attitude of begging Lu Xinyan to buy the leather goods, and said arrogantly: "The price of the fur goods is twice the previous market price, and I won't accept a copper plate less!"
Lu Xinyan's expression finally changed, she never expected that the Gao family would actually set fire to people in the mansion for money!
There are Baizhi, Xiaohe, Shuyun, Piaoyue, Xingluo, Xiazhi, Chengmao, Lvmao...except for Xingluo Xiazhi, they are all people who have followed her for half a year. They have long been like relatives. How can we let go?
She doesn't feel bad for money, money is for spending, it's for making money when it's gone, but if she wants to give the money that her mother Lin Ruyue has worked so hard for her to give to the person who indirectly put her mother to death, she is not reconciled, really Not reconciled!
"Lu Xinyan, it's getting late, I don't have time to waste time with you! I'll count by dozens. If you agree, I will immediately write a written statement on the spot and exchange money. If you don't agree, I will immediately set fire to Huanxiyuan! "
"one two Three…"
In Lu Xinyan's heart, heaven and man are at war, and Qingtong's kung fu is the best, but she wants to protect me, Jun Wuziyan is in the front yard, and has no idea what happened in the backyard!
"four, five, six…"
Xing Luoxia knows that she has some skills, but if they can save themselves, how can they save others?And those servants in the mansion who are helping the tyrant must be guarding the gate of the Huanxiyuan, and come out to kill one by one!
"Seven, eight, nine..."
