The Shen family had a ready-made shop floor, so Shen Laoer hired two more carpenters to help him. Jiang Miao came up with the drawings, and Shen Laoer was responsible for doing the work. The two of them divided the work 40-60.
After a month of preparation, Shen Laoer's furniture shop finally opened.
Thanks to the publicity of Xu Zilan and Zhao Mingzhen, the sofa became famous in the capital. On the day of the opening of the shop, many ladies and ladies from aristocratic families came to visit.
Jiang Miao made an appointment with the two of them, and then called Qin Yanjun. Although Qin Yanjun had to call her "aunt" in terms of seniority, the age difference was only two years, so they were of the same age and could naturally play together.
The Xu family is a merchant, and Xu Zilan often hangs out with the merchant's wives. She and Qin Yanjun have met several times. Jiang Miao follows her behind and secretly asks her questions when no one is paying attention.
"I always thought who Yan Jun looked like, but I couldn't remember..."
Xu Zilan chuckled, "Shopkeeper Qin."
"Shopkeeper Qin?" Jiang Miao suddenly realized, "No, Yan Jun's features are exactly the same as those of Shopkeeper Qin. Are they related?"
Jiang Miao knew very little about the Qin family. The shopkeeper Qin was also named Qin, so he might still be from the same family.
"The Qin family members all look alike. Shopkeeper Qin is the sister of your niece-in-law."
"There is such a relationship..."
Jiang Miao muttered something in a low voice. She had known Shopkeeper Qin for several years, but had never explored her family background. She only knew that she divorced her husband's family and then lived as a widow to do business in Furong Town. She did not expect that she still had relatives in the capital.
"The Qin family's family fell into decline a few years ago. Shopkeeper Qin's father, mother, and brother all passed away one after another. After she reconciled with her husband's family, she stayed in Furong Town and never returned to the capital."
Xu Zilan admired and pitied Shopkeeper Qin. The capital was her place of sadness, and it was understandable that she didn't want to come back.
Jiang Miao also understood this truth, and her mood, which was fine just now, was now a little low.
There are all kinds of furniture in the shop, not only sofas but also various cabinets and other exquisite ornaments. Ladies and ladies feel more comfortable sitting on them than on chairs.
"This sofa is nice. I usually sit on it to read my accounts and my waist doesn't feel sore."
"Yes, this is called a tatami. The cushions are so soft that I don't even want to get up when I sit down..."
"No, I don't know how this owner came up with it. We have all seen this kind of furniture before."
A group of people gathered around and said, and one of them, a somewhat mean-looking lady, suddenly spoke.
She was wearing a bright red dress, with high cheekbones and slanted eyes. She obviously looked good, but it was hard for people to like her.
She asked the lady she knew well, "I heard that this sofa was designed by Princess Rongning?"
"Yes, there is no other person in our capital who has the princess's ideas. She not only built a food street, but also made incense beads. Now she has made such exquisite and comfortable furniture. There is no young lady in our capital who can compare with her.
.”
"Hey, I remember that the daughter of the eldest son of the Shen family, Ding, has some relatives in your family?"
The lady suddenly remembered, "Isn't that because you are related to Princess Rongning?"
After hearing her words, Mrs. Hou's eyes flashed with light, and her face was obviously much excited.
"My eldest wife wants to call Mrs. Qin my aunt, so in terms of seniority, I have to call the princess my aunt."
She was more than ten years older than Jiang Miao, and she licked her face to acknowledge the kiss, regardless of whether they knew each other.
Contempt flashed across the face of the lady next to her. Even though the two of them had a good relationship, she couldn't stand Mrs. Hou's shamelessness. She also didn't think that the eldest lady of the Hou family was the daughter of her first wife. She forced Qin Huixin to get clean and leave the house.
What is the relationship between the relatives of the Qin family and her?
Jiang Miao came in with the three of them, and Qin Yanjun saw Mrs. Hou's face suddenly darken in the crowd.
Jiang Miao was not familiar with this lady in the capital yet. She was about to ask Xu Zilan who were the people inside when she saw a lady walking over with a flattering smile on her face.
"Hey, the princess is here too."
"Who are you?"
Madam Hou wanted to grab Jiang Miao's hand, but she dodged it. Madam Hou's face was a little embarrassed, but she quickly covered it up, and the smile on her lips became deeper.
"The princess is of high status, and it is normal not to know a commoner woman. My husband's family name is Hou, and my previous sister is from the Qin family. According to seniority, I have to call you aunt."
She was so thick-skinned that she didn't feel embarrassed about her status at all. Qin Yanjun sneered.
"My eldest sister has no relationship with the Hou family for a long time. You forced people away at first, but now you are getting together with them. Bah! Shameless!"
The Qin family and the Hou family have long been enemies, and a step-wife with a concubine in a high position has no face to be friends with them.
Now without Xu Zilan's introduction, Jiang Miao also knew who the woman in front of him was.
It turns out that she is the mistress married by Shopkeeper Qin's ex-husband. People tend to favor their own people, not to mention Shopkeeper Qin's miserable experience. As soon as her mother's family lost power, her husband's family would kick people out. This Hou family is not authentic at first glance. Don't blame Qin Yan.
Jun was angry and Jiang Miao looked down on them.
"Look at what I'm saying here. You can't force marriage. It's not right for your husband and sister to get divorced when their relationship fades away. Besides, Yuanyuan is the eldest daughter of the Hou family. With this kind of relationship, our relationship will be the same.
It can’t be stopped, don’t you think so, Princess?”
Jiang Miao's lips curled up into a smile, but her eyes were cold.
"Mrs. Hou is naturally a nephew of the Qin family, but there is no need to force a relationship with others. The Shen family and the Qin family are not recognized by everyone."
She slapped Mrs. Hou in the face so hard that the woman's face turned blue, but she could not refute due to her status, and there were rustling jeers from the side.
"Mrs. Hou is also stupid. Do you really think that the princess can like the Hou family?"
"After all, it's my concubine who can't change her petty attitude. She has humiliated such an adult in public. Hou Shixian will not let her go."
At first, the things the Hou family did were not honest, and many people looked down upon them. Now that the Qin family has been married to the Shen family, they have been in Hedong for thirty years and Hexi for thirty years, and now they have become fawning over the Hou family.
Mrs. Hou's face was black and blue, and the people's laughter was too harsh. No matter how thick-skinned she was, she couldn't stay any longer, so she led the maid away in despair.
Qin Yanjun was so stuffed that she finally relaxed. She had met the Hou family several times before. Those people had eyes on the top of their heads, but they looked down on the Qin family. Today Jiang Miao slapped her in the face, and Qin Yanjun started to
I am sincerely grateful.
"Thankfully the princess is here today, otherwise I wouldn't be able to speak against her with just my stupid mouth."
"It's just that you look down on a successful villain. Besides, your eldest sister is my friend. Naturally, I won't look down upon her enemies."
"The princess knows my eldest sister?"
Qin Yanjun didn't expect to hear the news about Qin Huixin from Jiang Miao. Her mind turned and she remembered that Shen Yanqing's hometown was in Furong Town, so he was not in the same place as his eldest sister.
"Well, we have known each other for many years."
"I don't know if my eldest sister is doing well..."
