First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

"If you really have nothing to do, go see the scenery, raise a cat or a dog, or help people in need." Su Jixiang waited for Qu Wanning to finish clapping before saying to Zhao Xiuwan, "Your life is not just about these beautiful clothes and jewelry. Don't limit yourself! If you really like these things, you can open a shop to sell jewelry and rouge and powder. It will be considered that you have done something. Don't spend your days talking about trivial things and gossiping about other people. You are from a wealthy family. Don't stare at others all day long. Don't lose face!"

After Su Jixiang finished speaking, he pulled Qu Wanning directly out of the private room, leaving Zhao Xiuwan behind.

Zhao Xiuwan stared with wide eyes at Su Jixiang and Qu Wanning's departing backs and was stunned for a long time.

She just couldn't help being angry! Is it wrong to want to compare these two people?

After the people had left for a while, she suddenly pushed the tea bowl in front of her, and the tea in the bowl shook out.

"Ouch!" She was scalded by the tea she pushed out and could not help but cover her hand.

"Madam!" The maid beside her hurried over to wipe her with a towel, but she pushed her away, "Go away! You are so clumsy!"

The tea burned a red mark on the back of her tender white hand, but the tea had been in the tea bowl for quite some time and was not scalding hot... so there was no redness or swelling.

Zhao Xiuwan suddenly felt even more wronged!

Tears kept falling down.

She was away from home and was not allowed to return home. The letters from her father and brother made it clear that she had to obey the emperor's order and marry a good man. Things were different now. She was no longer a concubine in the palace, and now she was married off to a lower position. A sixth-rank frontier military officer was of no help to the entire Zhao family. She was already a useless pawn to the Zhao family, and the Zhao family no longer wanted her.

She just wanted to compete with Su Jixiang and Qu Wanning because she was unwilling to give up. Su Jixiang, a poor palace maid, could become a general's wife. Qu Wanning, like her, was a concubine of the deposed emperor but married better than her, and her father and brother were protecting her right in front of her...

Zhao Xiuwan burst into tears.

The two maids didn't understand what was going on and just thought that Zhao Xiuwan was hurt by the burns. Because they had just been scolded by Zhao Xiuwan, they didn't dare to step forward to comfort her. They could only stand aside and watch Zhao Xiuwan cry helplessly.

Zhao Xiuwan cried for a while before her tears gradually stopped.

Although Su Jixiang was extremely annoying, she was right about one thing. I was afraid that I was too idle...

So what Su Jixiang said was right, it’s time for her to find something to do.

She knew about her husband's financial situation, and the reason why she had been asking Qian Feng for money was simply because she was angry.

But there will always be a day when all the resources are gone.

Zhao Xiuwan stood up, walked to the window, opened it and looked out. Coincidentally, diagonally opposite was the sign of Jibaozhai fluttering in the cold wind. Zhao Xiuwan stared at the photo for a long time. She really could open a jewelry shop!

With her vision, the styles she chooses are definitely trendy.

There are so many garrisons in the entire Mangcheng, and there are also quite a few officers. If they all settle down and start a family here in the future, they will always need to buy some dowries for their wives or daughters. This business will be easy to do!

Thinking of this, Zhao Xiuwan's eyes brightened a lot.

But opening a store requires a lot of money, and where the money comes from is a big problem.

Qian Feng didn’t know if he could come up with that much money! No matter what, let’s go back and talk to him first!

Zhao Xiuwan found her new goal and stopped arguing with Su Jixiang. She wanted to make a career anyway, and then Su Jixiang would look up to her.

Zhao Xiuwan closed the window, held her head high and walked out of the teahouse with her two maids.

"Madam! We haven't paid for the tea yet!" Zhao Xiuwan had just stepped out of the teahouse when the waiter behind her caught up with her.

Zhao Xiuwan...the anger in her heart suddenly came back!

You are such a good Su Jixiang! Before, he had agreed to invite her to have tea, but Su Jixiang didn't even pay for the tea first, and now he wants her to pay for it!

"It's just some tea money, why call it that?" Zhao Xiuwan snorted and said dissatisfiedly.

She raised her hand and touched her waist, and her expression changed immediately...

"Where is my purse?" Zhao Xiuwan touched her waist, then lowered her head and saw that the Suzhou embroidery purse that was originally hanging on her belt was really gone... This purse was brought back from outside by Qian Feng before the wedding, because she had visited several shops in Mangcheng but didn't see one she liked. She felt that the embroidery of the embroiderers in Mangcheng was not as beautiful as those of the embroiderers in the south of the Yangtze River.

"Have you seen my purse?" Zhao Xiuwan panicked and looked at her maid.

The maids all shook their heads.

"What's the use of you! You can't even keep an eye on a purse!" Zhao Xiuwan got angry and scolded him again, "Are those two eyes on your face just for show?"

The two maids shrank their heads, and dared not move like quails being scolded.

"Madam, you can scold the maid at home." The waiter said to Zhao Xiuwan with a smile, "We are still open for business. Do you want to pay for the tea first?"

"Will I give you a small amount of money?" Zhao Xiuwan was so angry. Su Jixiang and Qu Wanning were two bastards! She had made a note of this! "My money was stolen, or you can follow me to report it to the police!"

"Madam, just give us this little money for the tea. Besides, it's not our shop that stole your purse. Why should I follow you to the government office to report it?" The waiter shook his head immediately after hearing this.

"Ha, how can you talk like that?" Zhao Xiuwan was already upset, and after being scolded by the waiter, she naturally got even more angry. She pinched her waist and angrily said to the waiter, "I really suspect that my purse was stolen by someone in your store!"

"Madam, please be reasonable when you speak. We are a small business and have always been honest. How could we steal things from our customers in our own store?" the waiter shouted immediately.

Zhao Xiuwan snorted, "Since you didn't steal, why are you afraid of me reporting you to the police?"

It's rare for a guy to encounter such unreasonable people. It's not that he hasn't encountered such unreasonable people before, but those people's dress is completely different from Zhao Xiuwan. Zhao Xiuwan looks like a rich lady with luxurious and elegant appearance...

In the end, the guy couldn't persuade Zhao Xiuwan, so he followed her to report to the authorities.
