Aristocratic Concubine

Chapter 397 Women's Riding Clothes (3)
The people below were stunned, but no one asked where the money came from. This governor is not like the previous ones. He only knows how to eat, drink, play and make money, but he is really training soldiers and doing practical things. Everyone else is human. The barracks took money out, but he took the money into the barracks.

Not long after Shangguan Yeli came back from Chiyan Mansion, Wanqing sent someone to Bayan Mansion, bought a lot of bluestones with 1 taels of silver notes, and came back just as Hu Lin called someone to repair the courtyard wall, We built a few larger houses that are a bit more spacious, but it is hard to find good female celebrities. There are few Han people in Longjing Town, so it is not easy to recruit dozens of female celebrities and exquisite embroidery girls. Here It couldn't compare to the capital city, let alone the south of the Yangtze River, and she couldn't help but feel a little headache.

I promised Bayan that the down jacket business will be done well. Although Mr. Bayan is very problematic, the first business deal cannot be broken. My husband said that it is necessary to cheat the enemy's consciousness...

When he was having a headache, the Fourth Young Mistress came. After Shangguan Ziqing went back that day, he was in a very depressed mood. He said that he was refuted by Shao Guan Yeli. Your sixth younger brother has never forgotten the virtues of that girl. How can you be so pedantic that you can guess the girl's thoughts? Now the sixth brother is staying by Ah Li's side and refuses to leave. What is the girl planning, you'd better get less involved, or get better with the fourth child, so that you can go back to the capital early, the old lady is getting old, and it's not a problem to live in the Hou's mansion all the time. There is no reason why your ancestors are always supported by the children and grandchildren of other families."

Shangguan Yeli was so ashamed that his face was full of shame, and his anger towards Shangguan Yeli dissipated a bit, but he was still a little embarrassed, and he didn't want to come to the Dudu's mansion if he had no official business. The Fourth Young Mistress was not the same. They are congenial, and it is rare to have relatives who can talk to each other in Longjing Town, so naturally they come to Dudu's Mansion frequently.

Wanqing didn't go out to greet her, she was still sitting in the main room drawing flowers, Zhui'er opened the curtain and welcomed the fourth young lady in, the fourth young lady smiled and said: "I haven't seen you for a few days, the courtyard is lively, the back wall Renovation started?"

Wanqing raised her head and smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, come over and see if my style looks good."

The Fourth Young Mistress approached with a smile, and saw a piece of clothing drawn on the paper. It looked neither like Hufu nor the usual Hanfu in Beijing. It was simpler than Hufu and more convenient than Hanfu. The top is very short, only reaching the waist and abdomen, and a little bit longer, but the lower body is not grouped, and it is different from ordinary middle clothes and trousers, which looks a bit strange.

"This dress... looks good, but what's wrong with it? Are you going to wear it outside?"

"Of course, I designed this for women to ride horses. It is inconvenient to get on and off the horse if the jacket is too long, let alone the skirt. It is too long, and I am afraid that my feet will be caught when I walk." Wanqing held a sharpened branch in her hand. With a broken wooden pen, I drew two more lines with the ruler. Then I put down the pen in satisfaction and washed my hands in the water basin brought by Jinju.

There are too many lines in the drawing, and the fourth young lady can't understand it very well. If she can't understand it, she doesn't bother to look at it again: "When you finish the clothes, show me the clothes. If they look good, I will make a set of them. "

Zhui'er made tea, Wanqing and the Fourth Young Mistress sat on the chairs and chatted, and they talked about recruiting female workers. So convenient."

Wanqing let go of the tea bowl in her hand and said, "Sister-in-law, tell me quickly, what can I do, my hair is almost turning gray, you have to help me, I'll know if it's convenient or not after you tell me."

The Fourth Young Mistress gave her a sharp look and said: "Look at how anxious you are, I know you are not timid or old-fashioned, if this thing can really be done, it will be a merit."

Wan Qing's eyebrows were tight, she smiled and brought tea to the Fourth Young Mistress with both hands: "Sister-in-law knows that I'm impatient, so don't hold your breath, tell me quickly, I'm so anxious to death."

The Fourth Young Mistress then said: "Every year, the Ministry of Punishment exiles hundreds of people to Longjing Town, and among them there are many ladies and maids in the mansion. They are now suffering in the salt factory and mine of Longjing Town. If I can come to your Dudu mansion, where the wind doesn’t blow and the sun doesn’t shine, I can still have enough food for three meals, and just make some female celebrities, isn’t it like entering heaven? The fifth is the Dudu, the dragon The manager of Jingzhen Town, this idea can still be done, as long as those criminal women don’t leave Longjing Town, they can’t be regarded as surrounded by the law.”

Wanqing was overjoyed when she heard that, this method is really good, it not only solves her own manpower problem, but also helps the innocent family members of those criminals.

Just as she was about to thank the Fourth Young Mistress, Yu Xinyou came in from the back hall, and she kept winking at her. Wanqing hurriedly said to the Fourth Young Mistress, "Sister-in-law, sit down for a while, I have something to do in the backyard."

The Fourth Young Mistress now also knows Yu Xinyou's true identity. Although she looks down on the concubine, this concubine has a different identity. Qing, knew how pampering Master Hou was to her, so she was a little more respectful, nodded to Yu Xinyou, and waved Wan Qing to go.

"Your uncle and Mrs. Qian really have a relationship." Yu Xinyou whispered in Wanqing's ear.

Wanqing was shocked when she heard this. Although she sent secret guards to monitor Uncle Zhao's family, her original intention was to find out where Mr. Qian's unscrupulous money was hidden in the past few years. What she suspected was that Uncle Zhao was also involved in Zhao's death My lord's embezzlement business, but I didn't know that it turned out to be such a thrilling gossip.

Seeing Wanqing's stunned look, Yu Xinyou poked her on the head and said: "Why are you surprised? This kind of thing is not unusual. I think Mr. Qian had an accident, and your uncle immediately asked for the order." , came to Northern Xinjiang, how could it be such a coincidence, they must have hooked up a long time ago, then Madam Qian came from that kind of place, she looked richly dressed, but it was just for appearance, not neat, she originally It's Mr. Qian's gift from Mr. Zhao. In the capital, it's not uncommon to use one's own concubine as a gift to give to the boss to have an affair."

Wanqing pursed her mouth when she heard that, men in this era don't regard women as human beings, even their own concubines are sent around as a tool to bribe their bosses, and then think of the enlightened world in the previous life, this kind of Isn't the same dirty thing everywhere?In that era, there were no concubines, so they gave mistresses as gifts. Some people, who had no money to find mistresses, simply took their own wives as gifts...
