After losing the vest at the beginning, the female general was forced to marry the scheming prince

Chapter 324 Meeting Jiaorui Again
"General."

A beautiful voice sounded.

Qu Chu turned around, looked at the woman in front of him, and hesitated for a while before saying, "Jiaorui?"

The woman smiled, her smile was as warm as a warm spring breeze. "I didn't expect the general to remember me as a concubine."

Qu Chu also showed a warm smile, "Of course I remember, it's just that you have changed too much from before, I thought it was similar people who were afraid of admitting mistakes."

Jiaorui smiled again, "Yes, I have changed a lot from before."

It's not that Qu Chu didn't dare to recognize Jiaorui, but the Jiaorui in front of her was too different from before.

Jiaorui's voice before was particularly alluring, soft and charming, making people feel pity when listening to it.Today, Jiaorui's voice is still beautiful, but there is no hint of sweetness and temptation anymore, instead it is as clear as top quality porcelain.

Before that, Jiaorui's figure was particularly graceful and light, with a very thin and soft waist. Although Jiaorui's current figure is not plump, it is definitely not comparable to graceful and light, and she is slightly plumper than ordinary women.

Qu Chu looked Jiaorui up and down, saw that she was wearing a woman's hairstyle, her complexion was ruddy and her spirits were high, and she seemed to be living a very good life.

"Are you married?"

"En", Jiaorui nodded and said: "My husband is the fifth master of Huafu, he treats me very well. This silk shop is the property of Huafu."

Qu Chu looked at the silk and satin shop. It was large in scale, high-end and luxuriously decorated, and there were various kinds of goods in it.

"How did you recognize me?"

Jiaorui smiled, "Did the general forget that I have a special ability to recognize people?"

Seeing someone coming out of the silk and satin shop, Qu Chu whispered, "You call me Mr. Chu."

Jiaorui immediately changed her words: "Third Master, I just met you after a long time, can I buy you a cup of tea?"

Qu Chu thought for a while, and there was no rush to see Gao Ping. At this moment, Jiaorui is also the one who accomplished a certain important event together. Now that she met, she recognized herself again, so it's okay to catch up with her.

"Let's find a teahouse nearby."

"Third Master, please follow me."

Jiaorui led the way and led Qu Chu into a Yifeng teahouse.

This teahouse has an elegant and comfortable style, which makes people want to stop and sit for a while.

"Sister, you are here."

From what Qu Chu saw, the person who greeted her was Chun Xiao, Jiaorui's former maid, who later made a new household registration for the two of them, under the aliases Jiang Rongfang and Jiang Chunfang.

Jiaorui turned her head to look at Qu Chu, seeing that she didn't reveal her identity, she said:
"This is Third Master Chu, I'll talk to her about something, we'll go to 'Moxiang', and I'll send you a pot of fine silver needles and some snacks."

Chunxiao agreed.

Jiaorui led Qu Chu to the "Moxiang" private room on the second floor.

The interior decoration of the private room is elegant, and there is also a pot of Clivia.

Qu Chu went to the window and opened it. There was a bustling street downstairs, but when he didn't open the window, he couldn't detect the noise outside.

Qu Chu closed the window, and sure enough, the noise was gone, only some faint voices could be heard, which would not affect the conversation of the people in the house.

It seems that the soundproofing effect of this room is very good.

Jiaorui pulls out the chair and invites Qu Chu to sit down.

"Third Lord, Chunxiao is married, this teahouse is my dowry to her, I didn't expect her to run it very well.

'Moxiang' is my long-term private room, and I usually come here to discuss business with customers. "

Qu Chu asked: "It seems that your business is quite big now."

Jiaorui said:
"Now I am managing part of the business for Washington, which has a huge industry, but now the old lady is still there, so Washington has not divided the property and family."

Qu Chudao: "I vaguely remember that Huafu is the largest family in Luofu?"

Jiaorui said:
"To say that it is a family is actually to exaggerate Huafu. The ancestors of Huafu have produced several Confucian scholars who wrote books, but the real name is because of Mrs. Hua."

Seeing that Qu Chu did not show any signs of impatience, Jiaorui continued:

"Mrs. Hua is 86 years old this year. She is the daughter of a Juren. She married into the Hua family at the age of 18. After she married into the Hua family, she brought the Hua family from having little assets to being the richest man in Luofu.

Today, the industries in Washington not only spread all over Luofu, but there are also many tea gardens, porcelain workshops, mulberry forests and silk workshops in the Jianghuai area, and they also do shipping business with the Wang family. "

Hearing what Jiaorui said, Qu Chu became somewhat interested in this Mrs. Hua.

"Listen to you, this old Mrs. Hua is also a strange woman."

Jiaorui agreed, "The old lady is indeed a remarkable woman, and she is very tolerant to me."

Jiaorui slowly told her what happened in the past few years.

At that time, Jiaorui took Chunxiao and decided to settle down in Luo Mansion. With the money Qu Chu gave her, she bought a second-class courtyard in Luo Mansion and hired two wives.

But Jiaorui thought that she couldn't sit and eat all the time, she had to find a living, so she took Chunxiao to the street to see if she could open a shop or something?

After this stroll, I came to a rouge shop.

Jiaorui has worked in Hongxiu Zhao for many years and knows more about rouge and gouache than others, so she entered this shop.

This rouge store has a large facade. In addition to rouge powder, it also sells "Xianglu", a kind of water that exudes various fragrances.

It was the first time for Jiaorui to see this kind of "fragrant dew", even in the Jianghuai area where overseas trade is most developed.

Jiaorui tried it out curiously, this "fragrance" was applied behind the ears and on the wrists, and it gave off a fragrance all over the body.She asked the shopkeeper: "Why are such good things only sold in Luofu? Why not sell them in Jianghuai or overseas?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said:

"Because this kind of dew is stored for a short period of time, it is generally made to order and sold on the spot, and the technology cannot be passed on, so it is only sold in Luofu."

Seeing this was the reason, Jiaorui didn't say any more, but looked at other rouge powders.

Looking at it, Jiaorui saw many shortcomings. The rouge and gouache in this shop can only be said to be passable, far from high-end and unique.

Jiaorui asked the shopkeeper again:

"Since your family can make the unique fragrance, why are the rouge and gouache that these daughters of the Dayu country make at home, but the ones sold by your family are so ordinary?"

The shopkeeper smiled awkwardly and said nothing.

Jiaorui was just talking casually, seeing that the shopkeeper didn't answer and didn't follow up to ask, but at this moment, a voice came: "Can you make rouge and gouache?"

Following the voice, Jiaorui saw that it was a wealthy but unassuming old lady in her 80s and [-]s. Although she had white hair, her look was not as solemn or old as ordinary old ladies, but very angry.

Jiaorui saluted, "I know a little bit about making rouge and gouache."

The old lady pointed to the rouge and gouache in the shop and said, "Why don't you comment on it."

Jiaorui has her own way of identifying acquaintances, she can see the extraordinaryness of this old lady at a glance, and starts to criticize seriously.

Of course, Jiaorui also has her own selfishness and wants to find opportunities for herself.
