Qing'er is assigned to Xiaolian's maid, two big maids, plus two little maids, named after color. Qing'er and Bi'er are big girls, about the same age as Wutong. Hong'er and Cheng'er are younger, twelve or thirteen years old, and they are also smart.
Xiaocao and Xiaolian haven't seen each other for several days, and there are endless topics to talk about. But mostly it was Xiaolian who was chirping and Xiaocao was listening with a quiet smile. Both of them are not used to having someone around all the time, so they let Wutong and Qing'er rest in the ear room. Qing'er was fine, Wutong went to Dongshan Village with her, exhausted from traveling all the way, almost fell asleep as soon as she touched the pillow. There were two people sleeping in the side room next to it, and it was difficult for the sisters to continue chatting. After talking for a while, they each took a break.
On the second day, the weather was still fine. Anyway, in his own yard, it doesn't hurt to sleep late, Yu Xiaocao lay on the warm kang, curled up under the quilt and couldn't get up. The Yu family members are all used to doing work and getting up early, and they all get up early in the morning. Mrs. Liu was not used to the feeling of being waited on by others to dress and wash, and always felt that her hands were tied and she couldn't let go. If she was in Dongshan Village, she would have rolled up her sleeves and gone to the shed in the backyard to get busy. Now, sitting in the flower hall, holding a glass of honey water, I don't know what to do.
"Ma'am, Miss He from Taichang Princess' Mansion and Miss Yuan from Prime Minister's Mansion came to visit, saying that they came to congratulate Second Miss Xi on moving to a new house..." A maid who looked very pleasant came in with a smile and reported.
Liu looked at her, what's her name? Yesterday was too hasty, several girls wore the same clothes and were all about the same age, so she really couldn't tell who was who for a while. Wait, what did this girl say? Miss from the too long princess's mansion? The lady in the prime minister's mansion? How long has it been since Cao'er arrived in Beijing to meet so many distinguished ladies
"Uh..." Seeing the little girl quietly waiting for her order with her head down, Liu meditated for a moment and asked, "Is Second Miss up?"
"Go back to madam, not yet! Maybe I was very tired yesterday." Xiaohuan replied softly.
Liu frowned lightly, a little at a loss, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Go and wake up Miss Er first, and ask her what to do."
Loquat, who was temporarily dispatched by Xiaocao to serve his wife, reminded softly: "Madam, can you please invite the two ladies in first and serve refreshments, so as not to neglect the guests."
"What Pipa said is right, let's do as she says!" Shi Liu nodded quietly, but her heart was not as calm as her face. These two were either relatives of the emperor or the young ladies of high-ranking officials and noble families. She really didn't know how to treat each other.
Fortunately, when Yu Xiaocao heard that the two elder sisters were visiting, she quickly finished washing up like a war, her hair was combed into two braids, and she came to the flower hall to wait ahead of He Wanning and Yuan Xueyan.
"Sister Xiaocao, you are too mean. You didn't even say anything about moving to a new house, so we can come over and warm the pot for you!" Before He Wanning appeared, the voice came first.
Yu Xiaocao greeted them with a smile, looked at the empty hands of the two, and joked: "Didn't you say you came to warm the pot for me? Why didn't you bring a gift?"
"Hmph! You didn't send a post to invite us, why should we give you a gift?" He Wanning came up and pinched her smooth and delicate face, and gently tugged.
Yu Xiaocao rubbed her little face, glared at her, and said to Yuan Xueyan: "Sister Yuan, look at her, she will bully the small with the big."
Yuan Xueyan smiled faintly, and said: "Wan Ning, don't forget, you have something to ask for when you come to the door. If you offend someone now, you will cry later!"
Just as they were talking, a group of people came to the flower hall. Liu Shi stood up lightly, and gave the two of them a slightly embarrassed smile. Fortunately, He Wanning has a sharp personality, and hurriedly said: "Madam Yu, you are an elder, please take a seat quickly. Please don't blame Madam Yu for disturbing me."
"Don't blame, don't blame... Cao'er entertained the two distinguished guests well, and I'll go see the stewards of the mansion. Don't be polite to the two girls, just treat it as if you were at your own home, and I won't accompany you." Here, both parties must be uncomfortable, so they stood up and went back to the room.
"Mrs. Yu, please go ahead!" He Wanning watched Liu Shi leave, and said softly to Xiaocao, "You followed your mother, with white skin, big eyes, and weak writing. Could it be that Tang Gu's people are nourished by the soil and water? So you and your mother's skin is so smooth and white as cream?"
Yu Xiaocao remembered the dark skin of most of the villagers in the village who were blown dark by the sea breeze, and said with a smile, "We are naturally beautiful, and it has nothing to do with the environment. If you really want to talk about why the skin is so good, it is probably because we use homemade handmade soap. Is it related to drinking scented tea frequently?"
He Wanning touched her smoothed face, pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Don't tell me, since I used the handmade soap you sent, my skin is no longer dry, and it has become much smoother. My grandma also said that I recently It’s a lot of white! My piece is almost used up. When will your shop open? I heard from Sister Yuan that your club has adopted a membership system. What’s going on? Let’s hear it. "
Yu Xiaocao gave Yingchun a wink, pointed to the fragrant and pleasant scented tea on the table, and said softly: "This is the jasmine tea that I scented by myself. It tastes good. Try it! And this honey cake is also made by me. New dim sum specially made by the chef."
After taking a sip of jasmine tea with a strong fragrance of flowers and tea, He Wanning clicked her tongue and said, "It is said that you are from the country, but you have more knowledge and knowledge than those of us who claim to be ladies, just say today's refreshment Well, it tastes better than the best teahouses and dim sum shops in the whole capital! Tell me, does this jasmine tea have any effect?"
"Jasmine tea has the effects of clearing the liver and eyesight, promoting fluid and quenching thirst, relieving stagnation and stagnation, and delaying aging. It is beneficial to the body and mind." Yu Xiaocao took a piece of honey cake and ate it in small bites. She was dug out of the bed early in the morning, but she didn't eat a grain of rice.
When He Wanning heard that there were so many benefits, she drank all the tea in the cup in a hurry, and said to Wutong, who was waiting on the side, "One more cup—Sister Xiaocao, does your mother often drink jasmine tea? She looks very good. Young, doesn't look like a big girl like you!"
The aloof Yuan Xueyan, seeing her worthless appearance, gave her a sneaky look, and really didn't want to admit that this shameless girl was her good friend. However, this jasmine tea has so many benefits, she couldn't help lowering her head and taking a sip. The fragrant and rich fragrance melts on the lips and tongue, not to mention the efficacy, the taste alone is enough to be sought after by the world.
"My mother is thirty-one, and she looks younger and younger in the past few years. She used to work hard for her life and was very haggard..." Yu Xiaocao didn't pay much attention to her quiet changes when she often met Liu Shi. Having said that, Niangqin is indeed younger and fresher than when she first wore it, mainly because she has improved a lot.
"You don't need to ask, it must be the effect of the scented tea you made! I don't care, because of our relationship, when the shop opens, I must be a member, and the limited scented tea must be reserved for me. share." Although she didn't understand that the membership system was a magic horse, He Wanning felt that it must be not a bad thing, so she decided to take it first.
"Does that matter?" Then, Yu Xiaocao explained the membership system to her in a soft voice, "The membership system will be divided into four levels: the lowest is the bronze membership, and only after spending two thousand taels of silver can you be eligible to apply for it and enjoy all the products and services, with a 5% discount; followed by silver members, who can only apply for the cumulative consumption of 10,000 taels of silver, and enjoy a 10% discount; followed by gold members, who have accumulated consumption of 50,000 taels of silver before they are eligible to apply and enjoy the clubhouse 20% discount on all services and products, and not limited by limited products. The highest level is diamond members, only those who have made special contributions to the clubhouse, or have accumulated consumption of 200,000 taels of silver, are eligible to enjoy it. Diamond members Enjoy a 50% discount for life, and have the priority to try new products and new services. Limited products are available in unlimited quantities... All membership cards can only be used by the person who handles them, and membership will be canceled directly if they are borrowed.”
Regarding the membership system, Yu Xiaocao's preliminary idea is as follows. It was also the first time for Yuan Xueyan to hear her speak in such detail, and she was secretly impressed by her courage and means. Needless to say, He Wanning couldn't stop talking: "Oh my God! Diamond members have to spend two hundred thousand taels of silver? This is quite a waste of money! However, there are many rich people in Beijing who are rich, as long as the product is effective Well, there should be someone who is taking advantage of you and rushing to give you money! I am not greedy, just give me a diamond membership card, and I will be satisfied with a gold membership card... "
Yu Xiaocao and Yuan Xueyan looked at each other, and said with a smile: "Sister He, you think us too meanly, don't you? As a friend of the two major shareholders of the beauty and health club, I have to give you the qualification of a diamond member no matter what. Go! Of course, if you are really embarrassed to ask for it, forget it... "
"Who said I don't want it? I wish for it!!" He Wanning gave her a look of "I saw you right".
"Rare things are more expensive. I only plan to prepare ten diamond membership cards at the beginning. One for the three of us, and two for the queen's empress, for her to use as a reward, and my godmother. The rest Five cards, reserved for the guests of those local tyrants... "
Yu Xiaocao originally wanted to leave a share for Liu Shi, but considering her character, she would not go by herself. Anyway, the diamond card is eligible to bring one person into the guild hall, so the big deal is to bring her in to enjoy various items. As for other products, it's even easier, just buy them yourself and use them with your family.
The membership card has been made a few days ago. King Yang contacted a famous blacksmith. According to Xiaocao's request, after trial and error, a kind of alloy steel was produced by some coincidence, but the quantity is rare, and it is only used for Create a diamond membership card.
