Chapter 160 Crazy Women
When the news spread to the harem, Cuiping, the maid of honor next to Concubine Xian, was outraged.

"Your Majesty, you obviously wrote that plan, but now the empress is all credited for it."

Concubine Xian put down the book in her hand.

"Cuiping, there are some things that need to be addressed.

The emperor may not know that I wrote the plan, but such a big event is impossible for a concubine to come forward.

Besides, the first person to propose this matter was the King of Chu. Without his idea, how could I have my plan?

He has no objection, so what can't I figure out? "

Even though he said so, Cuiping's heart was still hard to calm down.

Even if the emperor and empress rewarded Concubine Xian, they were still upset.

Concubine Xian also let her go, only telling her not to be troublesome.

……

It will be the eighth day of February.

This year is the first Women's Day in Dayu Kingdom.

The emperor intends to promote this women's festival, and the people of the Duke of Wei's mansion want to take the opportunity to build momentum for the queen, and publicize this festival in Yudu early.

The people of the city defense army have already informed the various merchants: all shops that buy women's clothing, rouge, etc. today will sell at a discount.

Merchants have no problem with this.

In previous years, during the New Year or some major festivals, they would also conduct discounted sales of some products in order to promote consumption.

Now that the imperial court has written the Women's Day on the eighth day of February into the national code, they have no reason to reject this statutory festival.

Some businesses are even worse, and they have hung a sign at the door of the store early:
Since the sixth day of February, all products in this store will be XX discounted.

……

So on the sixth day of February, the commercial streets of Dayu Kingdom were extremely lively.

Ladies and ladies who don't usually go out have taken to the streets one after another, and come to those discount stores, wishing to buy all the rouge and gouache they need for a year.

And some commoner women went to those grain and oil shops and asked, "It's Women's Day in two days, can rice be cheaper?"

Some shops that usually don't do well in business didn't think about discounting at first, but they suddenly got inspiration when they saw people asking.

"Sister-in-law, the profit of our rice shop is low, so it is not easy to discount, but since you have asked, we will also give you a discount point, buy ten stones of polished rice and get one stone of brown rice for free."

After these sister-in-laws calculated, usually there is no discount on rice, but now that they have it, it can save a lot of money.

Anyway, rice is always eaten, so why not take this opportunity to stock up on more.

then……

Aristocratic ladies gathered in clothing stores and rouge and gouache stores; commoner women gathered in grain and oil stores, and infant and child stores.

……

According to the subsequent statistics of these merchants:

In the three days from the sixth day of February to the eighth day of February, they did more business than in the usual two months.

And they also learned from it:

If you want to make money, you still have to make money from women and children.

……

Early February eighth suburban campus
It was still very cold in Yudu in February, but it couldn't hold back the fiery hearts of the women in Yudu.

Dayu Kingdom's first festival for noble women was held here.

Hai Lizhu sent a letter to Qu Chu, saying that she would go to the school grounds with the queen and others, and just let Qu Chu wait for her in the school grounds.

But her horse has been sent to the school grounds ahead of time, she must have a horse race with Qu Chu today.

……

Hearing that Hai Lizhu was going to race with Qu Chu, Ning Youbei was afraid that Qu Chu would lose on the horse, so he specially picked a thoroughbred horse for her.

Qu Chu's mount, Ben Lei, is a good horse, but it is more suitable for long-distance treks and battlefields, and the speed of short distances is not dominant.

Thoroughbreds are different.

Thoroughbreds have long, fast, springy strides and are known for their speed over short distances.

Qu Chu's horse control has reached the point of proficiency, even if it is an ordinary horse, she is confident that she will not lose the game.

But since it was Ning Youbei's wish, she would not refuse.

……

At the beginning of Sishi, Qu Chu brought Qu Bingyu and Yanhong to the gate of the suburban school.

Coincidentally, when the two got off the carriage, they met Mrs. Su and the three young ladies of the Su family.

what is interesting:
Mrs. Su and the three young ladies of the Su family were all wearing red clothes.Mrs. Su and Su Fengmei wore bright red riding outfits, and they looked heroic; while Su Fengjiao and Su Fengxia wore pomegranate red thin jacket skirts, which were charming and charming.

Standing in a row of four, the most eye-catching.

Now Qu Bingyu is negotiating marriage with the Su family, Qu Chu brought Qu Bingyu and Yanhong to say hello.

After saying hello, Su Fengjiao pulled Qu Bingyu to chat.

"Sister Qu, the clothes for the four of us were ordered a few days ago, do they look good?"

Qu Bingyu's smile bloomed from the inside out, even more beautiful and moving than the pear blossoms at this time.

"It looks good, it looks like four sisters from a distance."

Madam Su was a little embarrassed, and explained to Qu Chu with a smile:
"I heard that the general was going to race horses with Concubine Li, so I muttered a few words at home, saying that if I were a teenager, I would also compete with the general.

I didn't expect Fengjiao to hear this, and she said that I'm not old, I'm still young, even now it's too late.

Then he dragged me to the street to make riding clothes. "

Qu Chu likes talking to Mrs. Su very much, he is straightforward, direct and sincere.

She smiled slightly, "Feng Jiao is right, Madam, you look a few years older than Feng Jiao and the others."

Madam Su laughed heartily.

"When did the general learn to coax people? You don't know. I wasn't surprised when I went to the street to pick up the riding clothes the day before yesterday. The street was really crowded with people.

Everyone is desperately buying things, as if things don't cost money. "

Hearing Mrs. Su's words, Qu Chu's smile grew wider.

"I heard what Bingyu said.

She went to the street with Yan Hong the day before yesterday, and she also brought back big and small bags, and bought rice and oil for a year. "

Thinking of the scene at that time, Qu Chu wanted to laugh.

Mrs. Su spoke for Qu Bingyu: "She claims to know how to live. Anyway, food and oil are needed. It is right to buy more now that it is cheap."

Qu Chu's smile became more sincere.

Madam Su can treat Bingyu like this, very good!
"I'll run around with my wife for a few laps later."

"That's a good thing." Mrs. Su said, "I haven't ridden a horse for some years, so I don't worry if I have a general with me."

Qu Chu looked at Su Fengmei, who was also wearing the same style of riding outfit as Mrs. Su, "Will you compete with us later?"

Su Fengmei waved her hand quickly, "I don't dare to compete with the general, I will ride with Sister Bingyu and Sister Yanhong later."

Yan Hong's horsemanship was already good, but after going to Jianghuai with Qu Chu, her horsemanship became even more superb.However, Qu Bingyu's horse has not been riding well, and she mainly took Qu Bingyu to play today.

Now with Su Fengmei as company, the three of them are even more lively.

Su Fengmei glanced at Mrs. Su, pursed her lips and said with a smile:
"My mother also made riding outfits for Sister Bingyu and Sister Yanhong. They are the same color and style as ours. Would you like to try them?"

The current Su Fengmei is much more lively than when she was a green plum.
