The outer room is not what I want, the general will send you a sword! Chapter 56 The old lady looks at Xia Jin, the more she looks, the more she likes it
Chapter 56 The old lady looks at Xia Jin, the more she looks, the more she likes it
"Did I hear you correctly? The old lady asked her to sit next to you?"
"It's just an outhouse. I heard it's a slave. To put it mildly, it's almost like a maid!"
Seeing the old lady's attitude towards Xia Jin, some ladies and ladies started talking among themselves.
The old lady glanced at them, and then they shut up in disbelief.
Xia Jin walked to the old lady and sat on the seat reserved for her.
The old lady likes Xia Jin and doesn't care who she is.
The old lady's father was a woodcutter when he was young. Later, by chance, he became an official in the court and gradually became successful. He was not from a noble family, so he did not care about status as much as other ladies.
In the old lady's opinion, a person's character and virtue are the most important, followed by status.
"Old Taijun, Yun'er bought a ginseng king when she followed her father to the Chamber of Commerce a few days ago. Dad asked Yun'er to bring it to Old Taijun."
A girl who looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old came forward. She had round eyes, a high nose bridge, and lips that were neither thin nor thick. She did not look innocent and cute, but she had a tight throat when she spoke.
, the combination of picture and sound is quite inconsistent!
She stepped forward and handed the brocade box to her grandma, who brought the box to the old lady.
The old lady nodded and said: "Boss Qi is interested!"
The girl raised her brows, her eyes showing no trace of pride and pride.
"As long as the old lady likes it. Next time she encounters nourishing supplements at the auction of the chamber of commerce, Yun'er will ask her father to buy them to honor the old lady!" She said in a coquettish tone, sounding like she was coquettishly trying to please you.
"I understand Boss Qi's wishes. The General's Mansion lacks everything, but don't waste any more money!"
"As long as it can make the old lady happy, it's worth spending any amount of money!"
Listening to her deliberate voice, deliberate flattery, and unique confident bragging, Xia Jin was so embarrassed that her toes dug out a castle of Barabara!
If Xia Jin hadn't been to the chamber of commerce's auction, he would have almost believed her lies.
There was indeed a King Ginseng on sale at the auction, but it was the final showpiece, and it was bought by a salt merchant who was over 60 years old for a sky-high price of one hundred taels.
As for Boss Qi, he has no qualifications to enter the Chamber of Commerce at all.
Of course, none of this is worth Xia Jin's embarrassment.
What really made Xia Jin feel embarrassed was that this girl was actually the daughter of the boss hired by her apprentice Qin Hao'ou.
In order to earn more money to pay off his debts and avoid the trouble of attending social events, Qin Haoou hired Qi Luoyun's father to be the boss of Desheng Building.
Let him go to various occasions on his behalf, saving time and trouble, so that more time can be spent on making money and paying off debts.
Then that idiot just stayed in the kitchen.
Looking at Qi Luoyun's appearance, she might really think of herself as the rich second generation...
Didn't his father tell her?
Xia Jin seriously doubted that this was the case, otherwise where did this mysterious confidence come from?
After having some refreshments, the old lady suggested going to the garden to enjoy the flowers.
Lotus flowers only bloom in the summer. It is spring now, but the lotus flowers are in bloom, which is really rare. Ladies and ladies gathered around the pond to watch.
Some young ladies with good literary talents have already begun to recite poems and compose poems, and some groups of small and medium-sized people have begun to chat and gossip.
Some ladies chatted with the old lady about family feuds, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and the relationship between husband and wife. When they got emotional, they had to take out a handkerchief to wipe their tears.
Xia Jin stayed away!
So the Bagua group was automatically selected!
On the table in the pavilion, he picked up a plate of melon seeds and leaned over.
"It's strange. Miss Qu usually comes every time the old lady holds a banquet. Why didn't she come today?" Miss Pink Yi asked in confusion.
"I heard that her eldest brother Qu Gongzi is ill, and the prime minister is now in a hurry to find a doctor. They are all in a mess!" said the lady in purple.
"Master Qu is sick, what happened?" Qi Luoyun looked confused.
The two ladies looked at her in unison.
"Miss Qi, didn't you and your father go to the Bafang Teahouse to attend the Chamber of Commerce banquet? What? You didn't know?" Miss Fenyi said in surprise.
Qi Luoyun smiled weakly and said, "Of course I know!"
"Miss Qi should have seen everything at that time. Please tell us what happened at that time. Why did Mr. Qu faint and be carried out at the auction?" Miss Ziyi asked.
"Among us, only Miss Qi has ever entered the Chamber of Commerce, which is really enviable!" Miss Fenyi said with emotion.
Qi Luoyun twitched the corner of her mouth. She didn't know why Mr. Qu fainted, because she had never been there...
Just when she was at a loss, Xia Jin, who was eating melon seeds at the side, couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Because the things I wanted to auction were robbed, and I was so angry that I fainted!"
Hearing this voice, several ladies turned their heads, gathered around Xia Jin, and grabbed a handful of melon seeds on her plate.
"Tell me what's going on!"
"Yes, yes, say it quickly!"
Xia Jin couldn't help but laugh. It seems that women, both modern and ancient, love to eat melons~
Looking at their eyes full of curiosity, Xia Jin spit out the melon seed shells in her mouth and said:
“It was an exciting day!”
Several heads came closer at the same time, their eyes shining brightly.
"The Eight Wise Kings, the number one son in the capital, Mr. Qu, and a mysterious man are bidding for a miraculous wine at the same time! The bidding price is eight hundred taels. Can you guess the price at which it was sold?"
"How expensive can wine be? My father has a jug of wine brewed by Master Jiu, which is considered the most expensive in the capital. The price is two thousand or two thousand for a jug. I guess the maximum is no more than one thousand tael!"
The lady guessed.
"With Mr. Qu's financial resources of one thousand taels, how can he not be able to afford it? He shouldn't be so angry that he faints, right?" Another lady questioned.
Then they all looked at Xia Jin,
"Stop being pretentious and tell me how much it is!"
"Young Master Qu has paid out 120,000 taels!" Xia Jin said calmly.
"What! One hundred and twenty thousand taels!"
"Oh my god, what a shocking price this is!"
Xia Jin made a shushing gesture until they calmed down, then continued: "Young Master Qu paid 120,000 yuan. At this time, the mysterious person increased the price to 121,100 taels!"
"Ah? Someone is increasing the price!" Miss Ziyi was shocked.
Xia Jin spread his hands and said: "Then Mr. Qu became so embarrassed that he was so angry that he smashed the table and chairs and fainted himself.
The old lady was chatting with the ladies. Seeing that Xia Jin and the other ladies quickly got along with each other, she couldn't help but nodded. The more she looked at this girl, the more she liked her.
"Old lady, you invited Xia Jin here and allowed the general to raise her. Could it be that you wanted to take her into the general's palace?" This chapter has been completed!
