Even if you have a great idea and a great idea, you have to be willing and rewarding, which will be the long-term way.
In this regard, Guanshi Qin admired his master very much. If this idea came from him, he might not have such a mind to let him give up 40% of the profit at the slightest word.
Manager Qin took down Chu Lian's request.
"Also, on the day the market opens, I'll go and have a look."
Of course, Guanshi Qin was happy. This was also an important moment to verify the results of his busy work for so many days. Getting Chu Lian's affirmation made him more proud and satisfied than letting him take a profit.
Princess Wei's birthday is the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, which is the day before New Year's Eve.
Although Wei Wang's mansion was always favored, both King Wei and Princess Wei acted in a low-key manner. It was precisely because they were neither arrogant nor impetuous, nor flashy nor extravagant, that Emperor Taiping valued them more.
In the past, Princess Wei's birthday was a small gathering, so it would be fine to hold a family banquet at the mansion, because she relied on the roots of the year and didn't want to disturb the aristocratic families in Shengjing City, but this year is different, this year is Princess Wei's 40th birthday. birthday.
The birthday has not yet arrived, not only Wei Wang, but even the queen mother in the palace told Wei Wangfei to be lively and lively this year.
Princess Duanjia is in her mother's room, writing invitations with her mother.
"Mother and concubine, Chu Liu is not at the mansion, what are you asking those people in Jing'an Mansion to do!" Princess Duanjia pouted, her face full of displeasure. In that mansion, except for Chu Liu and He Erlang, she I didn't like it.
Concubine Wei touched her daughter's hair helplessly, "It's already fifteen, if my lord and I don't want you to stay for two more years, you're going to get married at your age, and you're still so careless in doing things."
Princess Duanjia pouted, "Mother and concubine, you taught me again. It's not that I don't understand what you mean, but I just don't like the wife of the eldest son of Jing'anbo Mansion. You forgot the one at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the palace. What's the matter?"
"Okay, talkative you! It's just inviting them to dinner. If you don't like it, it's Jinyi's in-law's family. You like Jinyi so much. If you want to continue this relationship with her, how can you avoid it?" Jing'an House."
Princess Duanjia rolled her eyes, "Forget it, just follow my mother's order!"
Therefore, Jing'an House received an invitation from Prince Wei's House the next day.
Although Princess Wei's birthday is a big event this time, compared to other royal families, it is still low-key. The invited families in Beijing are only a dozen or so, so this invitation is very precious, and it is also a good friend with the Wei Palace. symbol of.
According to common sense, the Uncle Jing'an Mansion would not be able to get this invitation. In the past, the Uncle Jing'an Mansion had no friendship with the Prince Wei's Mansion. This time, it was only because of Chu Lian's face that Princess Wei sent the invitation post.
But I don't know that the people inside will only think that this is Jing An Bo's mansion's face, but no, He Ying is one of them who thinks so.
Mrs. He attached great importance to and was very happy to receive the invitation from Prince Wei's Mansion, and immediately ordered Nanny Liu to prepare a gift. After He Ying followed her mother to beg for half a day, Mrs. Madam He agreed to take their mother and daughter to Prince Wei's Mansion to celebrate their birthday .
If it weren't for the fact that the female family members in the mansion were not sick and their feet were grounded, and Mrs. He had no juniors to accompany her, she would not have agreed to take He Ying's mother and daughter to Wei Wang's mansion so easily.
Early in the morning on the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, He Ying's mother and daughter got up and got ready.
The mother and daughter are now living in the wing room of Qingyu Hall, and the person who serves them on weekdays is the maids of the old lady Jun Qingwei Hall. .
The great aunt He Ying and her daughter Pan Nianzhen each brought back a servant girl from Siyang, the former named Qiuyun and the latter named Pinglu.
Ping Lu is one year older than Qiu Yun. She is sixteen this year and will be seventeen in Chinese New Year. She is petite and weak. It is said that she was taught as a Yangzhou skinny horse for a period of time before entering the mansion.
The mother and daughter dressed up and went to the main room of Qingwei Hall together. Mrs. He personally checked their clothing and jewelry, and after making sure that there was no disrespect, she took their mother and daughter to the Wei Palace in a carriage.
Wei Wang Mansion was full of guests, and those who stood at the main entrance were the most respectable nuns and female officials around the little county king and princess of Wei Wang Mansion.
It was the first time for Pan Nianzhen to participate in such a regulated birthday banquet. After all, she was timid. She was helped down from the carriage by the maid, and followed her mother and grandmother with her head down, following her step by step.
Sister Lan, who was beside Princess Wei, saw the old matriarch from Jing'an Mansion approaching, and greeted her personally with a smile.
"The old slave greets the old matriarch. It's already the end of the year, and I still have to trouble the old matriarch to come over. The princess even told the old slave yesterday whether she is sorry or not!"
Sister Lan is the most powerful nanny next to Princess Wei. She is a female official in the palace. In the face of Princess Wei's love for Chu Lian.
Old Mrs. He has lived in Beijing for so many years, and she also knows the twists and turns. She has a kind face, and although she is old, she is easy to make people feel close.
"Why don't you greet me, it's a great honor for me to be here today to attend the princess's birthday banquet, and I would like to ask Mother Lan to express blessings and longevity to the princess on behalf of the old man."
He Ying, who was standing aside, saw her mother being so polite to a servant, her disdain was revealed on her face.
The person in front of me is not a princess, but just a slave. Is it necessary for my mother, a first-rank lady, to flatter me like this? Could it be that the older you are, the more you live and the more you go back
Sister Lan is such a shrewd person, and He Ying's small movements are completely in her eyes.
"The old matriarch is really polite. The old slave will tell the princess when he sees the princess. Tomorrow will be New Year's Eve. I wonder if there is any news from Jinyi Xiangjun in the north?"
Nanny Lan deliberately mentioned Chu Lian in front of Mrs. He at this time, and the smart people naturally understood the meaning immediately.
Mrs. He has never been a dull mistress.
At this time, how could Sister Lan really want to ask about Chu Lian's situation? Wei Wangfei specially sent two guards beside Chu Lian. If something really spread to the capital, people from the Wei Palace would know about it no later than they did.
At this moment, mentioning Chu Lian just wanted to remind her that they were able to receive invitations to make friends with Prince Wei's mansion entirely because of Chu Lian's credit.
Don't forget the well digger when drinking water.
The old matriarch sighed, "I haven't received any news, I have been thinking about Lian'er's child in my heart, and Princess Lao is worried about it. If there is any news, I will definitely send someone to tell the princess as soon as possible. "
Sister Lan saw that the old lady He understood, she clicked to stop, and said politely: "Look at this old slave, I forgot the time when I chattered, let the old lady stand at the door and blow the cold wind, this old slave really deserves to die , Madam, it’s getting late, this old slave will take you to the backyard.”
He Ying, who was waiting on the side, was already impatient.
It wasn't until the three generations of grandparents boarded the soft sedan chair arranged by Wei Wangfu to the inner courtyard of the Wangfu that the old lady found the opportunity to warn her daughter.
"Sister Ying, what kind of eyes did you have just now?" the old lady said coldly.
How could He Ying be convinced, "Mother, what are you talking about and doing with an old servant of the palace, no matter how well-dressed you are, you are still a servant, and you have lost our status for nothing."
The old matriarch snorted angrily at her daughter's words, "What do you know! She is a female official in the palace! She is of high rank, even higher than you!"
He Ying was stunned, "The woman is a female official?"
The old lady suppressed her anger and didn't want to get angry with her daughter at this time, but her tone became more and more cold: "put away your unreasonable arrogance, those who come to the birthday banquet today are either rich or expensive, if you give me today If you mess with someone, I will send you back to Siyang when I go back."
He Ying shrank her neck, and only then did she know she was afraid after being so frightened by the old lady.
When she was a girl in the Jing'an Mansion in Shengjing City, the Jing'an Mansion was not as prominent as it is now, and it didn't even have a title. The title was obtained by the old uncle fighting on the battlefield later.
So she didn't have many chances to get in touch with the rich and powerful in Shengjing. How could she have thought that an unremarkable nun in the palace was a female official officially registered in the palace.
The rank of female officials in the Great Wu Dynasty is equal to that of foreign wives, that is to say, Nanny Lan is at least the seventh-rank imperial order, which is higher than her status, and female officials have always been regarded as high-ranking.
After all this, He Ying completely shrank her neck in the palace today.
Pan Nianzhen, who was still timid behind her mother, was also taken aback. Shengjing City is really a hidden dragon and crouching tiger. I am afraid that if a stone falls from the sky, all those who are killed will have half of official characters on their bodies.
Princess Wei received guests in the main hall of the inner courtyard.
Today, many noble wives and ladies came, including several wives from the cabinet, as well as high-ranking royal family and nobles.
In front of these people, even Mrs. He has no place.
She hastily congratulated Princess Wei on her birthday, and took He Ying's mother and daughter back to the outer circle tactfully.
Sitting there, Mrs. Zheng Guogong and the older generation of several families, formed a circle of their own.
As soon as Mrs. He sat down, the old lady of Zheng Guogong's mansion greeted her, and said with a smile: "We are the only old guys in this circle." After speaking, he looked at He Ying who was following the old Mrs. .
The old lady of Zheng Guogong's mansion and Mrs. He gave handkerchiefs, and she was very clear about the decades in their house. She frowned slightly, and continued: "When did Sister Ying come back?"
The old lady let go of her grievances at this moment, and replied with a smile: "I came back a few days ago. After so many years, I don't feel relieved that she is in Siyang with her child. In addition, the juniors in the mansion are not here. People I was old and lonely, so I thought about bringing sister Ying back."
Although the old lady of Zheng Guogong's mansion did not quite agree with Mrs. He's actions, she couldn't say anything in front of He Ying. She nodded, "It's fine to take it back, we are getting older, don't we just want our children to be happy with each other!"
Then, the old lady of Zheng Guogong's mansion looked at Pan Nianzhen who bowed her head again, "This is..."
There is no such a big girl's house in Jing'an Bo's residence. She has seen Chu Lian several times, so naturally she will not admit her mistake.
The old lady smiled, "My niece came back from Siyang with her mother."
