Chapter 130 The Second Princess invites you again
The weather was too hot, so Xin'an listened to Tang Mo and didn't go out, so he just stayed in Qiushi Courtyard and enjoyed the good days.
"Young Madam, the female shopkeeper of Qianji Gold Shop in the city has brought some jewelry that has just arrived."
Nanfeng came back from outside to do errands and met the female shopkeeper at the door. Xin'an asked her to invite someone in. Earlier, she thought the jewelry at Qianji Gold Shop was good, so she left a message and asked her to send new products to her if they were available. Take a look.
As the second young lady of the Hou Mansion, you can't always need some jewelry and have to go out and pick it out yourself.
Soon the female shopkeeper came with her jewelry. Qingyang had already arranged for someone to carry the table out. After seeing the ceremony, the female shopkeeper and the two female waiters laid out all the jewelry they brought and said respectfully, "Second, Madam, these are the jewelry that just arrived from our gold shop. Do you like any of them?"
There are three or five types of hairpins, earrings, bracelets, etc. to choose from. In the eyes of the female shopkeeper of the gold shop, these are all exquisite products. Ordinary customers have no chance to see them. Seeing Xin An's expression, they don't have much. I was so happy and surprised that I knew that I was used to seeing good things, and I suddenly felt a little unsure.
"They are all ordinary styles, no different from the ones before."
After seeing many of the old lady's treasures, Xin'an's vision has become very high. The female shopkeeper introduced them with a smile and said there was something special about the ones delivered today. After all, the materials were just different.
The styles were similar, but Xin An was not interested. The female shopkeeper knew that she had made a mistake. She only considered that the second young lady was from Huaijiang. She did not understand that Huaijiang was rich and did not send all the real good things.
Qingyang has a sharp eye and wants to know which shop selling makeup and jewelry in Huaijiang did not bring the best things from his home. Although these are good, the young lady in her family is not lacking at all. "The female shopkeeper sent these today. It’s normal. If I send you these next time, you Qianji will not have to come to the gate of the Marquis Mansion again.”
The female shopkeeper apologized repeatedly and hurriedly packed up the jewelry she brought and left. Xin'an felt that her reputation needed to be managed well, otherwise no jewelry seller would dare to look down on her.
"It's too hot today."
How about making an appointment with Mrs. Liao to have tea and listen to a show.
As soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Wang came with a post, saying that the second prince and concubine wanted to invite Xin An to come over for tea tomorrow morning.
Aunt Wang was a little nervous. She was a real powerful person, and even if she said it, she had a good reputation. "Young madam, why don't you open the warehouse and pick out two good things to bring with you?"
Xin'an said that just pick some earthen rituals sent by Uncle Fang Da and bring them with you. "It doesn't have to be too expensive, as long as it comes to your heart."
She, a merchant girl, would not look down on the 'good things' sent by the talented shopkeeper, and the princess might also look down on the items that she thought were good, so she might as well settle for the next best thing and give something unusual.
It makes people feel a little strange.
Aunt Wang hurriedly went to do it. Xin'an thought about it for a while and went to find her mother-in-law. Mrs. Wang was a little surprised, "Do you know the inside story?"
Xin An shook his head, "I just said I was going to have tea."
Wang was even more nervous than Xin An, "Then we have to adapt to circumstances. We have to be careful in our words and deeds when we arrive at the prince's residence. If you can get close to the second prince and concubine, you will not be able to walk around in the backyards of various houses from now on, it will be embarrassing. Dare to look down upon.”
Ms. Wang was embarrassed to say that she might not be as good as Xin'an in making friends with women outside. It was one thing that her natal family was humble, but her lack of ability was the key point. Otherwise, she wouldn't have even inquired about the Tao family. No one told her.
Xin'an nodded, and after leaving Wang's place, he went to the old lady's yard. The weather was hot and the old lady didn't want to go out. Her skin was whiter than before, but her complexion was not very good.
"Why doesn't grandma look as good as usual?"
The old lady was bored and said, "It's too hot. I can't eat or sleep well. There's still too little ice." The Hou Mansion could only get limited ice, so they rushed to the old lady to use it. But on such a hot day, the ice was too little. The blocks melted soon after they were placed on the table. Unless the room was surrounded with ice like the Duke of Enguo Mansion, it would not help.
"Isn't yesterday's cold dish okay?"
Ganlu took up the conversation, "Cold dishes are good. The old lady also used more of them yesterday, but her stomach felt uncomfortable. She will have to use less of them in the future."
The old lady sighed, saying that she was getting old and had a stomachache in the middle of the night after eating too many cold dishes. "Fortunately, there are only a few days left in summer, so it will be over after a while."
Xin'an suddenly thought of what Mrs. Wang said about the places where many of the veterans in charge of the Wang family lived. They were crowded, noisy, and humid. Such a hot day would be even more unbearable. After thinking about it, she said that she would arrange for someone to buy more mung beans. If it goes on, everyone can cook some mung bean soup to relieve heat and detoxify.
"It's uncomfortable for me to have people waiting for me everywhere. It will only be harder for those people. It's harder for you. Make arrangements now."
Xin An stood up and said, "Grandma is resting now. I will make arrangements right away."
The old lady said 'hmm', and Xin An turned around and left. When she returned to Qiushiyuan, she told Aunt Wang to find her.
When it came time to hire people, I found that the Hou Mansion didn’t have many of my own people, so I had to ask Aunt Wang to go to the Wang family again with the money. After explaining her intention, the Wang family hired a steward for him, "This person's surname is Liu, and he is me." The married chaperone is in charge of half of the house's purchases, you just leave it to him."
"Until you find the right person, you can tell him to do things."
Once the emperor and the courtiers, these words are suitable for the backyard of each family. The servants of the Hou Mansion are divided into two camps, the old people of the Hou Mansion and the people of the Wang family. Whether Xin'an can let his own people in the Hou Mansion, it depends on Let’s see if Wang, the mother-in-law, is willing to give her a chance.
At present, it seems that this opportunity is willing to be given.

Manager Liu took the money and led the people to the door. Nanfeng followed her the whole time. She was responsible for delivering the mung beans she bought to Wang's house and handed them to Mrs. Wang's hands, and then watched the mung beans go where they should go. place.
Tang Mo knew about this when he came back in the evening. Xin An meant that Tang Mo should find time to meet those people in person, "We should let people know about us after we have paid."
You can't just silently pay for others to enjoy your reputation.
"In addition, there are some people who have not received support from the Marquis Mansion. We should also take a look. In short, we need to have our own people. In addition, I am short of a manager. You can arrange someone for me."
The stewards of the Xin family have to be responsible for other things, and Xin An is not going to bother them with running errands. "There is always no one in my hands. It is inconvenient to do anything, and there are great limitations. You can think of a way."
Tang Mo said he would arrange it as soon as possible, "Thank you for your hard work."
"Tidy up, we'll go out later."
"So early?"
Although the sun had set in the west, it was still hot. Xin An didn't want to go out so early, "Wait a little longer."
Tang Mo said that today the students of Wangping Academy will go to Xiu Mu, and most of the students will go to the Zhuangyuan Building to talk about the past and the present. "Luo Qiwen will also come out, and we will 'encounter' him."
"How to 'encounter' by chance?"
Xin'an became interested, and Tang Mo said that he had already made an arrangement. "The custodian can come forward and talk to him naturally, and he can also be kind to him."
