In Jia Lian's courtyard in Rong Guo Mansion.
In order to persuade Sister Feng to invest in the shop front of Jixian Street, Jia Lian had done everything he could.
However, Sister Feng was unwilling." Even I know that you have to go to the rice market to buy rice and the horse market to buy horses. You're selling glass, but you opened your shop in front of the Imperial College. Isn't this selling dog meat under the guise of sheep's head? Moreover, could those scholars afford it? I won't allow it!"
She refused firmly. Suddenly, she thought of Eldest Sister-in-law in the east and added," And you're not allowed to borrow from Eldest Sister-in-law You!”
Jia Lian's eyes lit up." You reminded me that I can look for Brother Zhen to invest in the company!”
As he spoke, he stood up.
Sister Phoenix quickly pulled him back." No! Why should he get a share of our own business?”
Jia Lian was unhappy." You're not willing to pay for it yourself, so why can't I go around looking for sponsors? How petty!"
Sister Feng rolled her eyes at Jia Lian and spat,"I'm just worried that you'll spend money recklessly. Tell me, why did you buy that shop?”
Naturally, it was for…
"For a noble family like ours, it's inevitable that we'll give others a chance to talk about us if we directly run a cheap business. Therefore, we need to change our appearance and package it!”Jia Lian had a flash of inspiration.
"What's packaging?" Sister Feng was confused as to whether Jia Lian had said those words.
"That's not important. Just listen to me.”"We're not selling glass, we're promoting the morals of the Holy Church!" Jia Lian laughed. I've thought it through. As long as they're the top students in the inner class of the Imperial College every month, we'll print their poems and calligraphy on our glass and toys of all sizes. We'll also give them a set of books for free as an encouragement.”
"What good is this?" asked Sister Feng, puzzled. Don't tell me we have to pay money to make others famous?”
If she didn't benefit from it, she would find it too much to spend a single cent.
Jia Lian laughed,"You don't understand, right? No matter how much this glass is worth, it's still a dead object." If it could stick a little bit of culture, it would come alive and its value would be different. Regardless of whether it was a high-ranking official or a wealthy merchant, a mirror that cost hundreds or thousands of taels was not enough to tempt them. If buying it back could show one's self-restraint and add to one's scholarly aura, especially if the poems and calligraphy were impressive and not common goods on the market, then it was even more necessary. If that's the case, do we still have to worry about not having any business?”
Sister Feng was still worried." But I heard that the directorate is very strict. Those scholars are all very arrogant. Would they agree to you doing this?”
Jia Lian turned around with his hands behind his back." I remember that sister-in-law's father, Li Shouzhong, is the Imperial College's Chancellor?”
The eldest sister-in-law here was of course Li Wan.
"Go and talk to Eldest Sister-in-law. Although Lord Chancellor is upright, it's not something that's outrageous. It's not humiliating either, and we're still relatives.”
"So you're still thinking about this sister-in-law!" Sister Feng laughed.”
Jia Lian's face darkened. He had been so worried about this business.
It's all the silver's fault!
As long as he had money…
Jia Lian couldn't bear to see Sister Feng being so smug in front of him. Today, he had lowered his voice and said a basket of good words, but he was still teasing this sister-in-law and that sister-in-law.
He really needed to be taught a lesson!
After a while, Sister Feng finally gave in." Good brother, I won't dare to do it again! Spare Feng 'er!"
Jia Lian stopped.
"Give me the silver and go to Eldest Sister-in-law to settle this matter!”
"Yes, Master!" Sister Feng drawled.”
It should have been like this a long time ago.
Her people were all his, not to mention her silver.
He shouldn't be polite!
It is said that the Qin family lived in Xianfang in the north.
In a small room, there was a bottle and a cauldron on the table. Smoke lingered around the table. There was a Taizhen Painting on the wall. The red curtain was simple and warm.
Ke Qing held the glass pearl flower in her hand and could not wait to insert it into her hair.
"Rui Zhu, bring the mirror over!"
A little girl who was only the head of the cast picked up the bronze mirror and said with a smile,"Girl, you look so good wearing it!”
"You're so talkative!" Ke Qing spat. Her pretty face blushed slightly.
At this moment, another servant girl opened the curtain and came in." Miss, don't you think it's funny? The nanny just pulled me to ask about you!”
"Baozhu, what did the wet nurse ask you?" Ke Qing frowned.”
Baozhu walked up to Ke Qing." Granny asked me, what did you get today? Needlework knitting can actually stop for a while, it doesn't matter, it's so long-winded.”
Ke Qing smiled and said,"I'll cook for a day. I don't have to worry about the family's supply. I can also save money for my brother to study." How is that enough?"
"This servant also said so." The pearl kept talking." But she asked again, does the lady have someone else? This servant also doesn't know?"
"Little hussy, shut up!" However, you are about to reach the age of adulthood and have a beautiful face. There are also old women who come to ask, but Father has rejected it. I don't know what will happen to the future one!
Every time she thought of this, she would feel extremely shy.
Rui Zhu teased,"Young Lady's matters will naturally be taken care of by Old Master." Just tell her that you don't have her yet!”
Bao Zhu had a carefree personality." I'm just a servant, it doesn't matter if I'm fine or not. Young Lady has such a beautiful figure and appearance, we must search carefully. Ordinary people are probably not worthy of our Young Lady!”
Rui Zhu asked,"According to you, who should the girl marry?"”
Ke Qing blushed and quickly interrupted,""What nonsense are you talking about? He wasn't afraid of being laughed at. How can we women make decisions based on our parents 'orders and the words of the matchmaker?”
Bao Zhu pursed her lips and whispered,""Young lady, this servant also heard from nanny and taitai that when we were taking the pearl flowers today, we saw a handsome young man surnamed Jia. He spoke and learned very well, and he paid for young lady's pearl flowers!”
Ke Qing quickly took it off and said angrily,"Didn't I give her money?" How can you let others pay?" He held it in his hand and wanted to throw it away, but he couldn't bear to.
Bao Zhu smiled and said: " This can't be blamed on the nanny. The silver that the young lady gave wasn't enough, and that shopkeeper refused to give credit." This Young Master Jia was kind-hearted. He had never met the lady, but he had given her money without even meeting her. He was truly generous! Also, judging from her attire, she must be from a wealthy family. She might be a good match!”
Ke Qing stretched out his hand to pinch her." Little hoof, I've been too lenient with you guys on normal days. I've allowed you to spread rumors!"”
Bao Zhu quickly hid behind Rui Zhu." Good girl, please spare this servant once. This servant won't dare to do it again!"”
Rui Zhu smiled,"Young lady, you should teach her a lesson." Moreover, this Young Master Jia didn't know his name or where he lived. Even if he wanted to ask him for money, he couldn't.”
But you grabbed the pearl and were about to attack.
Bao Zhu hurriedly called out: " That Jia gongzi will take over that glass shop in a few days. When the time comes, ask the shopkeeper. Wouldn't it be clear?"”
Rui Zhu smiled and said,"I just don't know if you're married yet."”
"Why do you ask if you're married?" Bao Zhu asked, puzzled.”
But Qing wanted to tear her mouth, and laughter came from the boudoir.
