Exquisite ingenuity

Chapter 261 The Strange Zhao Jinyi

When Zhao Jinqing walked in, grandfather Zhao Qing had already finished his breakfast and was feeding Parrot.

Seeing Zhao Jinqing, Zhao Qing's eyes were confused at first, then he was sober, and then he said: "The fifth girl is here?"

Zhao Jinqing was used to his grandfather's gaze, and immediately said with a smile, "Qing'er is here to accompany grandfather."

She didn't ask, and Manager Hu didn't say anything, but she secretly asked the person outside, and the person said that some people will eventually become confused when they get old.Then one day, I will be confused and unable to remember the person in front of me, only remember the long past.

Zhao Jinqing took the scissors from the servant's hand and carefully trimmed grandfather's bonsai.

In fact, she doesn't know these things at all, but as long as she puts on a few gestures, her grandfather will praise her for doing a good job, and then ask Manager Hu to open the warehouse and fetch some gadgets to reward her.Some are valuable and some are not.But as long as her grandfather is willing to reward, she will happily accept it.

Although Guanshi Hu's gaze made her feel a little uncomfortable every time, Zhao Jinqing would not retreat in the face of difficulties.

She is a concubine, and the Song family will not accompany her with too much dowry.As for the dowry in the palace, she had inquired about it, and although there was a respectable thirty-eight dowry, the money given to her was only one hundred guan.

What is a hundred guan in this capital where every inch of land is so precious!If she wanted to eat something good, she might spend it all in less than a year!She naturally wants more, such as a shop that can be run by herself and can make money from money.

Of course, when she gets married, all the Xiao family's money will be her own.But who would hate more money?
Sure enough, not long after she had cut it, her grandfather called Manager Hu: "Give the inkstone in the warehouse that I brought back from Huzhou that year to the fifth girl."

Manager Hu's eyes flickered, he hesitated to speak, and finally went into the house.

Zhao Jinqing couldn't help wondering what his grandfather's warehouse looked like.

Although my aunt still dotes on her, before her father was imprisoned by her grandfather, she would give her some goodies from time to time, and the private house she had accumulated over the years was as much as fifty pennies.But not even a tiny drawer was full, let alone any storage room.

After she married the Xiao family, she had a warehouse, so she would go to the warehouse twice a day to touch her baby.

Zhao Jinqing was thinking hard, waiting for Manager Hu to come out.

At this moment, Zhao Qing had finished feeding Brother Ying, stared blankly at Zhao Jinqing, and suddenly asked, "Fifth girl, hasn't your aunt entrusted you with a dream recently?"

How could a dead person whom he had never seen before entrust him with a dream?
Zhao Jinqing smiled obediently: "Back to grandfather, my granddaughter hasn't dreamed of Aunt Chengjiao recently."

"Oh." Zhao Qing was extremely disappointed.

Manager Hu finally came out, holding a wooden box in his hand.

Zhao Jinqing took the wooden box, thanked her grandfather, and sat obediently for a while, then Zhao Qing waved her away.

Zhao Jinqing was disturbed in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He left the Tai'an courtyard, but didn't go back to the third room. Instead, he asked the maid to prepare the car, and went straight to the pawnshop on the street with the wooden box in his hand.

The servant girl carried the Huzhou inkstone into the pawn shop, and came out with a smile after a while: "Girl, the shopkeeper said, if this Huzhou inkstone is pawned, it will be worth one hundred and fifty guan."

Zhao Jinqing took the wooden box with satisfaction, lifted it up again and looked at it carefully, thinking in her heart, she is not a refined person, and Xiao Yang is a craftsman, why do you want this precious Huzhou inkstone?It's better to be a pawn and scrape together a few more shops to do business.

Although Zhao Jinqing has never done business, her aunt was born in a small business, and what she likes to talk about most every day is how much money the grocery store of her grandfather's family can earn.

After estimating the price of the Huzhou inkstone, Zhao Jinqing asked the coachman to go straight to Wangpo Alley, saying that he wanted to buy silk thread for dowry embroidery.

In fact, her embroidery skills are so-so. The marriage between her and Xiao's family is decided by the old man. For the sake of the old man, Huang also asked her to go to Ronghua Building to choose the wedding dress and embroidery.

Who made the girls of the Zhao family so anxious to get married, they almost didn't have time to prepare their wedding dresses.

It's too late to prepare the wedding dress, but it's okay to embroider a few pillowcases.

As usual, Zhao Jinqing entered the embroidery thread shop in Wang Po Lane openly.

The little lady inside led her to the back room as usual, and when she entered the room, the little lady said: "Recently, the master came here flawlessly, and only sent a letter to the girl. There are also these medicines."

The little lady handed the letter and a few packs of medicine to Zhao Jinqing, and told her: "The master told the girl, after reading it, it is best to burn the letter immediately."

Zhao Jinqing opened the letter immediately, frowned several times, and then reluctantly wrote down the contents of the letter.

There was an incense burner in the room, Zhao Jinqing immediately threw the letter into the incense burner, and watched the letter turn into ashes.

Zhao Jinqing walked out of the room with the medicine in his pocket, and saw Zhao Jinyi leading Mei Ran, leaning against the counter looking at the silk thread.

Zhao Jinqing was flustered immediately, his face turned pale, and he stammered, "Why are you here?"

Zhao Jinyi looked at her and said, "It's funny, Fifth Sister can come to this silk thread shop, but I can't?"

The little lady who followed Zhao Jinqing was exquisite, and immediately said: "This girl thinks she met her own sister, and she was so happy that she was incoherent. I don't know how to call this girl? What kind of silk thread do you want to buy in the shop? Concubine In the room behind you, the silk thread is more expensive, but the color is very good. Miss Wu often chooses silk thread in this room."

Zhao Jinyi smiled and said, "You can just call me Fourth Miss. No wonder my grandfather praised Fifth Sister's embroidered fan for its excellent color and lifelikeness. It turned out that the silk thread was bought from here. I don't know that Fifth Sister came here again to give it to Grandpa. What kind of embroidery are you doing?"

Zhao Jinqing was buffered by the little lady's words just now, and calmed down: "My sister is going to get married, but I just want to embroider some pillowcases. I just looked at it, and some are suitable. The little lady will wrap it up with my sister later. Fourth sister, younger sister I remember that the fourth sister, Nuhong, has always been bad, so I was really surprised to see my sister here today."

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Jinyi suddenly saw Zhao Jinyi walking towards her, holding her right hand with a charming smile: "My sister is not good at being a girl, so please trouble my fifth sister to tell me, what is the good thing about this silk thread?"

Zhao Jinqing's breathing tightened, and he could still smell the faint scent of Su Hehuan from Zhao Jinyi's body.Cold and light, not too strong, but looming.

Zhao Jinyi is probably crazy!When did she get so close to her!

Zhao Jinqing tried to smile: "My younger sister is just laughing at fifty steps, so I should trouble my wife to talk to my sister."

Zhao Jinyi nodded: "Alright. Please, lady."

As he said that, he dragged Zhao Jinqing into the room just now.

Zhao Jinqing had a guilty conscience after all, and was staggered by Zhao Jinyi.

The little lady glanced at her indiscriminately, Zhao Jinqing suddenly felt relieved, the letter had already been reduced to ashes, and the medicine in her bosom was also tightly packed, Zhao Jinyi would never search her body.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhao Jinyi entered the door, he frowned and said: "What kind of spice is burning in this room, it smells so bad?"

No, it was the letter she burned just now!Zhao Jinqing pursed her lips nervously, and secretly glanced at the little lady.

The little lady laughed again: "Miss Si has a very good nose, what is burning in the house is only cheap spices, Miss Si is used to smelling expensive spices, so naturally she is not used to such low-grade spices."

"Oh!" Zhao Jinyi was stunned, but said, "This silk thread has been smoked by this low-grade spice. It won't sell for a good price in the future. You might as well not smoke it."

The little lady smiled embarrassingly: "The fourth girl is right."

Zhao Jinyi turned around and taught Zhao Jinqing again: "Fifth Sister should be more cautious in the future."

Seeing that the matter was about to be revealed, Zhao Jinqing breathed a sigh of relief: "Sister is right." Zhao Jinyi's hands were tightly wrapped around hers, and she couldn't move at all.

Damn Zhao Jinyi, why did he come here for no reason?
But I heard Zhao Jinyi say: "My younger sister is about to get married. As an older sister, I don't have anything nice to give away. I originally wanted to pick up some silk threads here and make some embroidery for my younger sister, but I came here to see the colorful flowers. The silk thread is really big, that’s all, my sister should buy some ready-made items to give to my younger sister.”

The sun came out from the west? !Zhao Jinyi actually wanted to give her something?
　Thank you, Burning Weeds, okay~~
