Seeing Mrs. Wang come back, Wan Yiniang also stepped forward to serve her. She and Aunt Shen served hot water and tea before retreating.
Mrs. Wang also waved to Aunt Shen, and then said to Qin Liuxi: "I heard everything you and your aunt said. Don't think your aunt is stupid. She is just a simple person. One is, the other is Second, she doesn’t have those cunning thoughts, so there’s no need to test her.”
Qin Liuxi stopped holding the tea, looked up at her, and said with a smile: "You protect her like this, but you make me look like a bad person."
Mrs. Wang smiled: "You have a strong aura and she is afraid of you."
Qin Liuxi touched his nose and said: "She is indeed lucky. When she met your mistress, if she was like the second aunt, she would have been changed beyond recognition. How could she be as beautiful as she is now, and how could she maintain such innocence? simple?"
Mrs. Wang took a sip of tea and said: "There is a beauty beside me, which is also pleasing to the eye. She has a kind and innocent temperament, which always reminds me of the happiness before I left the court. It's okay if she continues like this."
Qin Liuxi had actually seen the fight between wives and concubines in the back house. Seeing that Wang was as good to Wan Yiniang as he was to his sister, he was a little curious and asked: "Aren't wives and concubines all incompatible with each other? Like the second aunt and Aunt Pan. , the sky and the earth are incompatible with each other. But don’t you blame her?"
Mrs. Wang was silent for a long time and then said: "To me, marriage is nothing more than a matchmaker's order from my parents. What matters is a wealthy family versus a wealthy family. Who the other party is is the same to me. Your father wants to accept it." Whoever it is, as the mistress, I will help him."
Qin Liuxi suddenly realized.
Understood.
If you don't love it, don't care.
"He is so miserable. My concubine treats him like a tool, and you are no different."
His wives and concubines don't really love him, they just treat him like a superior. Qin Bohong is so miserable!
Qin Bohong, who was far away in the northwest, sneezed twice, took his son's ginger tea, and took a sip, feeling a little sad: "I don't know what happened to your mother and the others. Your mother came from a family and has an indestructible character. Nothing will be difficult for her. But your aunt comes from a small family and is also fragile. With this sudden change in the family, she is afraid that she will cry because she misses me all day long, but it’s better not to hurt her body."
Qin Mingyan thought of the beautiful yet somewhat silly Wan Yiniang, looked at his father who was sighing, lowered his eyes, and thought to himself, it seemed that Wan Yiniang's idea of how to use rouge and gouache to maximize her beauty was more realistic than thinking of his father.
But that's all, don't hit him. After all, it's too cold and bitter in the northwest. People need a little hope to survive. Just like him, he also hopes that his mother doesn't miss him as much as he misses her.
Mrs. Wang naturally misses her son, especially when she returns from her dreams at midnight. She wets her pillowcloth with tears many times and sometimes sits there until dawn.
But in front of others, she became shy again, and she was the mistress of the Qin family who took charge of herself.
When Qin Liuxi said this about her father, Wang was a little bit dumbfounded and gave her an angry look.
Qin Liuxi pretended to be casual and asked: "The shop is not bad. Is there anyone who is not smart enough to cause trouble?"
Wang's smile paused slightly, then relaxed quickly and said, "Everything is fine, don't worry."
Qin Liuxi looked at her: "If there is anything difficult to solve, come and tell me. I can always protect the Qin family's shop."
Wang's heart skipped a beat and she looked over subconsciously, feeling that there was something in her words.
Qin Liuxi stopped talking. It didn't matter whether the Wang family said it or not. Anyway, the Ding family just let it go. If they really dared to make any waves, she could let the waves flow back.
The Ding family should not seek death.
The Ding family couldn't hear Qin Liuxi's "good intentions". They were determined to win the Ruyizhai shop. Even though it was just a preserve shop, the preserves were delicious and the profits would be considerable if they made a name for themselves.
They have also inquired about it. There are many shops selling candied fruits in Licheng, but the one with the best taste belongs to Ruyizhai, which suddenly appeared. I don’t know how the formula of its candied fruit is prepared.
It is very delicious. Some varieties can also treat some minor ailments. Eating it can make the body feel much better.
The third wife of the Ding family has also eaten at that store, and she has been thinking about it as soon as she ate it, especially the new soft cake, which is really delicious. She is very curious, the Qin family has been defeated, and they shouldn't have three meals in such a miserable state.
How can you continue to open a shop and do a good job?
She then thought of the eldest wife of the Qin family, who was from a well-known family, the Wang family. She was from a well-known family, so she might have some secret formula, and her mother-in-law's family would lend a hand, so she became more knowledgeable.
Mrs. Ding San was even more greedy about this and sent someone to negotiate the deal, but she didn't expect Mr. Wang to be so stubborn.
Bah, a poor man who wants to come to their house for help is so ignorant, how can he be so stubborn?
Mrs. Ding San felt dissatisfied, and she became somewhat enlightened when she heard that the shabby house seemed to have some connection with the Yu family.
No wonder, it turned out to be the Yu family.
What a shame, Mrs. Yu, even at a banquet, pretended to tell a story about a white-eyed wolf, saying that the villain in the story didn't remember the kindness and would add insult to injury, making her look too ugly, saying that someone was acting like God was watching.
It would be a loss.
Mrs. Yu was clearly alluding to the Ding family's improper behavior and lack of greed, which made her mother-in-law so angry that she almost had a fit on the spot and her face turned purple.
But so what, if one is willing to buy and the other is willing to sell, the Yu family has nothing to say.
Mrs. Ding San mentioned to her mother-in-law that it would not be difficult to sell the Qin family's shop. If it couldn't continue, it would have to be sold.
Mrs. Ding was originally from a small family. Although her son became a magistrate, enjoyed numerous blessings, and became the royal wife, her nature of taking advantage and being scheming has not changed.
"I remember that when Liang Kuan, who was next to the boss, came back to deliver medicinal materials, he mentioned that life for those gentlemen in the northwest was not easy." Mrs. Ding twisted the beads and said, "This family is the most important.
But the gentlemen need money to raise money, so they have to sell it."
Mrs. Ding San was a little curious: "Mom, what do you want to do?"
"Of course I have to send a greeting card to the Qin family, lest anyone say we are ungrateful white-eyed wolves, please prepare some gifts." Mrs. Ding was extremely concerned about her words.
"Mom, is that the shop like this?" Mrs. Ding San was a little anxious: "My daughter-in-law has carefully calculated that if their shop really becomes famous and opens branches, the profits will be even more profitable than our cloth workshop. Uncle, isn't it?
Do you want to go further? You have to spend money on everything, mother, this..."
When the eldest son's official position was mentioned, Mrs. Ding's heart skipped a beat, but she stabilized herself and said, "Why are you so anxious? Just arrange some people like this..."
