Quick Wear: Cannon fodder fly bravely, good fortune will always follow
Chapter 164: The Cannon Fodder Sister Who Was Married Instead in Ancient Chinese Literature 44
Jiang Xinghui then nodded obediently, casually picked up a piece of cake on the table and started eating.
Yun Xi frowned slightly. This pastry was specially prepared because Jiang Yueshu was a big eater. She hadn't sent pastries to Jiang Yueshu in recent days, but the people in her yard, including her, were accustomed to preparing such a plate of pastries.
"Hui'er, eat less, don't eat too much."
Jiang Xinghui said a few perfunctory words impatiently, "I know, mother. I still eat with Jiang Yueshu every day. They get along so well every time, so I don't eat much every time, so naturally I get hungry easily."
After hearing her say this, Yunxi let her continue eating.
"Okay, then eat slowly."
"Mother, are they all following grandmother to learn how to be a housekeeper? Then what should I do? And you said that the Marquis' Mansion is managed by Concubine Hua. What if she secretly makes things difficult for me because I can't do it?" Jiang Xinghui asked while eating.
Yunxi thought of this when he heard his daughter ask this.
My daughter is right. It seems I still need to learn it.
"Hui'er, mother can tell you directly about the ways of the world, banquet rules, strategies for controlling subordinates, etc. But you have to learn how to read account books. It's just that mother..." She sighed, "mother doesn't have a shop nearby now. Last time, mother invested most of the dowry she earned, so there's no way to practice."
Unless they took out the gifts sent by the Marquis' Mansion in advance and opened a shop to practice.
Jiang Xinghui could naturally think of this. She gritted her teeth and offered to exchange it for the gift sent by the Marquis' Mansion.
After the two discussed it, they finalized the plan.
They carefully selected a shop in a relatively good location and bought it, preparing to open a rouge and jewelry shop.
After all, most women cannot do without these jewelry and makeup, and they have to buy new ones from time to time to suit the trends in the imperial city.
After the shop was selected, the two of them often went out of the house to look after the business, and were very busy.
At the Prime Minister's Mansion, Jiang Yueshu and Liu Jingyan were also studying attentively. Liu Jingyan had learned some housekeeping skills at home, while Jiang Yueshu had an excellent memory and a quick mind. Therefore, both of them understood quickly and basically understood everything at once, which undoubtedly made Mrs. Jiang even more satisfied.
Seeing two smart kids is always better than seeing a stupid person who can't understand no matter how hard you try.
Old Mrs. Jiang was actually still a little surprised. Before her granddaughter-in-law married into the prime minister's mansion, she was well-known in the imperial city for being respectful, polite, and intelligent, so she was able to grasp the situation quickly and think of it.
But Jiang Yueshu, as her grandmother, naturally knows better than outsiders. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is a fool, but her current behavior is indeed unexpected.
Because of Jiang Yueshu's performance, Old Lady Jiang couldn't help but treat her a little better.
After knowing this, Jiang's father was pleasantly surprised, thinking that his daughter was indeed a wonderful person. Wasn't it all because of that woman Yun that she was delayed in the past?
After figuring it out, he began to secretly think about what to arrange for Jiang Yueshu to do next.
It wasn't because of her reputation or talent, but he thought that learning more would always be useful.
His daughter has not yet found a marriage, and he cannot guarantee that he will always be by her side to protect her. He hopes that she can learn more things in case they may be useful one day.
Jiang Yueshu and Yunxi are both busy, so apart from having meals together, they basically don't see each other for the time being.
Yunxi's shop business was not as good as they had imagined. After all, it was in the imperial city, and shops in good locations cost a lot of money. The location they chose as a compromise was naturally not very attractive.
Besides, there were many shops selling jewelry and rouge in the imperial city, and some of them had already become famous in the imperial city, so naturally their shops were not very popular.
The two of them were so worried that they had blisters in their mouths for a few days, and it hurt whenever they ate.
Yunxi was the most worried, because she not only wanted to rely on this shop for her daughter to practice, she also wanted to use it to save enough money for her daughter's dowry.
She thought about it all night, and the next day she put on her makeup, dressed herself up very exquisitely, and started to attend famous banquets in the imperial city.
In fact, when her daughter had just successfully engaged the prince, she took her daughter out to show off to the circle of women in the imperial city so that they could all see how glorious her daughter was.
However, Yunxi no longer had the intention to show off as she did at the beginning. At the banquet, she subtly used her daughter's identity to invite everyone to visit her newly opened shop.
It was not known whether the ladies and girls who were invited came for the sake of face or to make friends with the future mother-in-law of the prince, so for the first time, many of them visited Yunxi's shop. For a moment, Yunxi felt very proud and in a good mood.
Because she frequently went to banquets to solicit customers, almost every household in the imperial city knew about it.
Liu Jingyan, who had a rare day off, returned to the Liu Mansion and listened to her mother's complaints.
"Your mother is really something to say. Who in the imperial city doesn't know her character? It's just that her daughter is going to marry the prince, so what's there to brag about? She always comes up with the same excuses, and we are embarrassed to refuse to buy things in her shop. Besides, the things there are not good ones. It's like throwing money away." Liu's mother said with concern.
"Mother, if she asks you to go again in the future, you must refuse to go. I don't think my mother is that popular in the mansion."
Liu Jingyan comforted her mother. She had lived in the prime minister's residence for such a long time, and she could see that the old lady and her father in the residence were not on good terms with her.
Jiang Yueshu also found someone outside to keep an eye on Yunxi's condition. After hearing the maid's report, she sneered.
But she took advantage of the Marquis' Mansion to make a fortune, but her behavior was so ugly that it ruined the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Jiang Xinghui's marriage to the prince didn't matter much even if the prime minister's family didn't have a very good reputation, but it did have some impact on her as a girl waiting to be married.
"Lu Ping, get ready. We are leaving the house today."
Since Yun Xi invited her so warmly, then as the adopted daughter, she should also join in the fun.
After the carriage left the prime minister's residence, Jiang Yueshu informed the coachman and soon they arrived at the door of Yunxi's shop.
The three large characters "Linglongxuan" on the plaque are written in a flamboyant style, which is very imposing.
She stepped in and the waiter in the shop came to greet her immediately, while another waiter went to the back with a tactful look.
Jiang Yueshu looked at the servant who seemed to be going to inform the police, smiled playfully, and casually glanced at the jewelry in front of her.
They are indeed some ordinary-style, average-quality accessories, and there is really nothing attractive about them.
"Are there any better ones?" Jiang Yueshu asked.
When the young lady just came in, the servant saw the gorgeous silks and satins and valuable jewelry accessories on her body, and immediately guessed that she came from an extraordinary family and was not short of money.
He smiled and said without hesitation, "Yes, of course there is. Miss, please wait a moment. I will go and get it."
Yunxi had just received a notice from the servant. She quickly straightened her clothes, thought about the polite words she would say later, and walked over slowly.
I don’t know which family the young lady is from this time, but she will be able to make a lot of money again.
Thinking this in his mind, Yunxi quickened his pace, opened the curtain, and entered the front hall.
With a polite smile on her face, she looked up in a good mood and happened to meet the eyes of Jiang Yueshu, who had heard the noise and looked over.
Yunxi's smile froze on her face and slowly faded away, but Jiang Yueshu came over with a look of surprise.
"Aunt? What is this?"
Yunxi smiled awkwardly, "It's Shushu! Look, my aunt is also here for a stroll today, and it just so happens that we bumped into each other."
While speaking, she winked at the servant following behind her to avoid revealing that she was the owner of the shop.
"Yes, it's not a coincidence, aunt. Since we met, you should help Shushu pay the money!" Jiang Yueshu narrowed her eyes slightly and pulled Yunxi's sleeve coquettishly.
Due to the image of loving Jiang Yueshu that he had always created in front of her, Yun Xi could only respond with a forced smile.
Just in case, she pulled Jiang Yueshu to look at the jewelry while whispering, "Shushu, whatever you want, I will definitely buy it for you. Right, I'm going out in a hurry today, and I'm short of money, so I don't have much money with me."
Jiang Yueshu nodded to show that she understood. "Don't worry, aunt, I'll pick less." She looked at Yunxi eagerly and said.
Seeing that Jiang Yueshu's face clearly said "Praise me quickly", Yun Xi was speechless for a second. He felt sick as if he had swallowed a worm. He could only force a smile and pat Jiang Yueshu's hand to praise her.
"Shushu is so good!"
Jiang Yueshu then revealed a satisfied look and chose the jewelry in a very good mood.
Yun Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief. She pulled Jiang Yueshu over to look at those cheap accessories, the kind that looked shiny on the outside but were of very poor quality on the inside.
Anyway, these things are cheap, so she just picked a few. After she left, she could attract some customers here. How much money would it cost?
"Miss, here comes the more exquisite one you requested."
The servant's smiling voice came from afar. He was holding a square board with a cloth spread on it. A set of ruby and sapphire head ornaments were neatly arranged on it. It indeed looked much better than those displayed in the front hall and had everything you need.
When the servant got closer, he saw that the master was with the young lady he had just met. He awkwardly placed his headgear in front of the two of them and was about to leave.
Yunxi: "......"
When did this idiot finally come to his senses?
There were so many rouge and jewelry in front of her, weren't they enough for her to choose from? She even asked for the most precious treasure in her store.
For a moment, Yunxi looked at the servant with some dissatisfaction.
