Of the two women, one was arrogant, like a frog, glaring at Wan Qing hatefully. The other, with a face as cold as ice and slightly narrowed eyes, looked at Wan Qing thoughtfully.
"Xiao Wanqing, you should know that you are just a businesswoman."
The woman with a face as cold as ice finally spoke. Her voice was quite pleasant, but it was a pity that it didn't appeal to Wan Qing's ears.
Therefore, Wan Qing did not intend to pay attention to her. They were all unknowns anyway, so there was no need for her to be too polite.
"Your Xiao family is already penniless just here in Qingbo Mansion, let alone elsewhere. No one in the world knows what your Xiao family is."
Wan Qing continued to eat and eat! Of course she knew this kind of thing. The Xiao family were not emperors or generals, so how could everyone in the world know about it.
However, when he looked at the two women again, there was a hint of doubt in their eyes.
Listening to their tone, they are quite disgusted. Is it possible that their family is known to everyone in the world?
Wan Qing finally had enough to eat and drink, and pushed the bowls and chopsticks aside.
"It's natural for a girl from a small family like you to not know etiquette and know how to advance or retreat. However, since you are out in public, you should know... there are some people you can't reach..."
Wan Qing was confused, which family hired these two girls?
However, although she does not care about the jade ornaments business, she has seen quite a lot of women here. I have never seen one so arrogant and confident.
Could it be that it was just released in the palace this year?
If you think about it carefully, this year is really the year for the palace to let people go. I heard that next year will be a new round of draft. All the families in Qingbo Mansion, big and small, as long as they have daughters, are secretly preparing for it.
The government sent people to register all the girls of the right age. It was said that during the New Year, they would be selected in each government, and the top 30 women in each government would be selected and then sent to the capital.
I heard that there are three or four hurdles in Beijing, and in the end hundreds of people will be selected for the emperor to choose.
Those chosen by the emperor will naturally be members of the emperor's harem. Those who are not selected will be called back.
Of course, I have also heard that some high-spirited women will stay in the palace and become female officials, but Wan Qing did not find out much about that.
