The Pastoral Empress Merchant
Chapter 727
Chapter 727
Although Mu Jinxi had told Jue Lin about his family's plans for him in advance, but there was not enough time and the matter was urgent, and Jue Lin hadn't thought of any good solution, so he was invited to Xiao's residence the next day. As Jin'er said to him, no matter whether it is from the Mu family or the Xiao family, the meaning is the same: the two of you should not meet before the big wedding, and you should calm down and think about it carefully, so that you can continue to get married .
Juelin was very depressed, and wanted to say that he didn't have to think about it. He had already thought clearly and understood that the big marriage must continue, and no matter what the reason was, nothing could stop his determination to marry Jin'er.But in the end, he could only swallow these words silently in his stomach. Who let himself be wronged in this matter?If I don't follow these people, I don't know how much they will stumbling me in the future. I haven't married Jin'er yet, and Jin'er is a filial child. She will never disobey her family because of herself Yes, not to mention that he has a criminal record.
After struggling and negotiating for a long time, members of the Mu family and Xiao family still refused to let go. Jue Lin could only accept this so-called punishment with grief and indignation, but they had already made up their minds. They just said that they could not take the initiative He came to Jin'er, but he didn't say that he would not be able to see him if he "met" on the street.
That being the case, from now on, he will not sneak to Xiao's mansion, and create more chances for chance encounters outside. He doesn't believe that this road is completely blocked. If the mountain does not come, I will go to the mountain. !There are always other ways to solve this problem, but he can't bear not seeing Jin'er and Xiaobao before the wedding.
And even if he could bear it, grandma and the emperor couldn't bear it either. They definitely wanted to see Xiaobao. As long as they did, would he still be able to see him?
The members of the Mu family and the Xiao family don't know whether they know the little Jiujiu in Jue Lin's heart?Maybe he knew it, but he turned a blind eye and closed his eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Jue Lin thought he had already figured out the way out, but soon he realized that his thinking was too simple!
He wanted to have a chance encounter, but whether it was Jin'er or Xiaobao, they went out less often!And every time he went out, there was someone by his side, not Mrs. Mu, Mu Jinhua, or Xiao Yu, Mrs. Xiao, and even his father-in-law!Absolutely won't let Jin'er be left alone, alone!How did he come across such a situation?
It was only at this time that Jue Lin realized that he had been slapped, and he was slapped hard!But he dared to be angry and dare not speak out, he could only swallow the pain in his stomach, who said that he was sorry for Jin'er first?
After doing this several times, Jue Lin completely gave up the idea of meeting in private.
The old concubine was just curious at the beginning, wondering that her grandson hadn't brought Jin'er and Xiaobao to play for a long time, and when she asked, she found out that he had done such good things, and immediately made the old concubine laugh angrily.She really didn't know that he did such a stupid thing. He was wrong at the beginning, and when he found out the truth, not only did he not remedy it in time, but he made more mistakes?It's his luck that the Mu family and the Xiao family didn't go to the emperor to ask to make fun of the marriage on the spot!Now this is simply pediatrics, a painless punishment is already the best result!
If he dares to do some tricks in private again, annoy the Mu family and the Xiao family, and wants to marry a wife, wait a few years!
The old concubine scolded Jue Lin severely on the spot, and then went to the Xiao Mansion to apologize to the Mu family couple in person. Mu Ankang and Xiao Nianxun were so frightened that they almost couldn't stand their ground. Fortunately, Xiao Madam appeared just in time to stabilize them.It's just that what the old concubine did really dissipated a lot of the resentment in their hearts. What is the status of the old concubine? It's really surprising that she can personally apologize to them.
In fact, they also understand that Jue Lin's identity, even if he has done too much in the eyes of the world, is not too much in the eyes of the world. If people find out, those people will probably think it is Xiaoxi's blessing. He was not a family member, and he was not an official. He was just an ordinary peasant family. It was a blessing accumulated by his ancestors that he was able to save the only prince of the opposite sex in Dachu by chance.
If Jue Lin was the kind of common nobleman, at most he would just give the Mu family a large sum of money as a reward. As for their daughter, if she saved Jue Lin's life with her innocence, at most she would be accepted into the palace as a maid. A famous aunt, a concubine, it is absolutely impossible to be a princess!Even though she has already given birth to a son for Jue Lin, her status is impossible to be a princess.
But now she can not only be a princess, but also the marriage between the two was bestowed by the emperor himself, what else can't be satisfied?You should be grateful to Dade!
The members of the Mu family all understand that it is one thing to understand, and another to accept it. They are not the kind of people who like to climb dragons and phoenixes. They just want to get some justice for their daughter and make a sacrifice for her. Just breath.
Now the old concubine came to apologize in person, which deeply shocked them, and they couldn't help feeling guilty and guilty, wondering if they had gone too far?They dared to do this only because they knew Jue Lin's feelings for Xiaoxi, so they were so bold and confident...
Knowing what they were thinking, the old concubine said seriously that they were not wrong, that Juelin should be punished for doing such an excessive thing, and that nothing had happened because of his status, it would be unfair to Jin'er.It also reassures them that she will not favor Jue Lin, and they can do whatever they think they should do!She now treats Jin'er as her own granddaughter, and she will be her granddaughter-in-law after she gets married in the future.
When the old concubine said this, Mu Ankang and Xiao Nianxun felt even more embarrassed. They felt that they were too hypocritical, and secretly wondered whether Juelin's punishment should be reduced or not?
But thinking this way in their hearts, they controlled their mouths and did not say anything. Neither of them noticed the glint of success in the eyes of the old princess before she left.
Mrs. Xiao sneered when she knew that the old concubine came to apologize in person. His daughter and son-in-law didn’t know, but he understood that the old concubine did this for Jue Lin. She is an elder and an old concubine, but now she can She personally came to the door to say sorry to her daughter and son-in-law, who were much lower than herself, because of Jue Lin's matter. This is not something ordinary people can do, but she did.
The result of this is to smoothly help Juelin reverse the image in the eyes of his daughter and son-in-law. The two of them honestly estimate that their anger towards Juelin has almost disappeared in their hearts. The fact that Lin and Xiaoxi are not allowed to meet before their wedding is over!
It has to be said that the old concubine was more clever and cunning, and she definitely made her soft-hearted daughter and son-in-law fall for such a trick of showing weakness.Mrs. Xiao thought so.
Sure enough, just as Mrs. Xiao thought, it didn’t take long for Mu Jinxi to stop following people all the time, and sometimes Mu Jinxi would go out alone to the Fortune Restaurant or Fangrong Pavilion. Jue Lin finally found a chance to meet the beautiful woman Yes, but this is already a year ago.
After the introduction of goat milk in Fangrong Pavilion, it caused a huge sensation, which made those ladies and wives go crazy and ran to Fangrong Pavilion to buy this item. Some restrictive conditions had to be introduced to stabilize this frenzied situation.
But the price of the goat milk bath is considered expensive, which makes many people feel that Fangrong Pavilion is too much, and thinks that this is clearly extorting them. Goat milk is nothing rare, and it has never been thrown away before People want it, how did it become such a precious thing when it came to Fangrong Pavilion?
So many people saw Fangrong Pavilion like this and wanted to take the opportunity to make a fortune. There are actually many such shops near Fangrong Pavilion, and many wives and ladies feel that it is too expensive to marry Fangrong Pavilion and take a goat milk bath. It's a bit too much, since it's a goat's milk bath, they can buy goat's milk and make it different at home, why bother to go to the Fangrong Pavilion?
At the beginning, the madam and miss who had tried it a few times at Fangrong Pavilion and found it to be effective had tentatively asked Mu Jinxi after seeing her.Mu Jinxi naturally knew what these people were thinking, and she didn't feel angry. Instead, she told them honestly that they could indeed buy goat milk baths at home, but the effect was not as good as Fang Rong's. The pavilion is so good, and there may be some other problems. After all, the goat milk in the Fangrong Pavilion is shipped back to the guests after additional treatment.What's more, if you are not careful, you may be allergic.
After hearing Mu Jinxi's words, everyone was dubious. Some people hesitated for a long time and decided to try soaking at home. Except that the effect was not as good as in Fangrong Pavilion, there was no other problem. Everyone immediately felt that Mu Jinxi was talking about allergies. It was simply alarmist, and they all followed suit. They ordered their servants to go to the ranch to buy goat milk and soak it in the house.
Who knows that something will happen in a short time.
When Mu Jinxi arrived at Fangrong Pavilion that day, she was hurriedly stopped by Qiu Ju.
"Xiaoxi, do you know everything?"
As Mu Jinxi was walking, she didn't know what to ask, so she asked, "Know what?"
"It's because someone used goat's milk to soak in the bath!" Qiu Ju said anxiously.
Compared to Qiu Ju's impatience, Mu Jinxi was much calmer, and said, "Oh, as long as the accident didn't happen in our Fangrong Pavilion, it's fine if something happened to someone else in the bath at home, what does it matter to us?"
She had thought of this possibility a long time ago. She had already told those people at the beginning that those people didn't take her words seriously and insisted on making troubles at home. Now that something happened, it has nothing to do with her. It doesn't matter, she has already said what should be said.
Hearing what Mu Jinxi said, Qiu Ju was startled, as if she hadn't expected her to react like this.
Mu Jinxi glanced at Qiu Ju and asked, "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
Qiu Ju opened her mouth and said gruffly: "Xiaoxi, aren't you worried that this matter will affect Fangrong Pavilion? Although it is said that they bought the goat milk foam in the mansion by themselves, but, no matter what It was our Fangrong Pavilion who launched this bath first, and those ladies and ladies are all of status..."
If the time comes and they put the matter on Fangrong Pavilion, it will be troublesome.
Mu Jinxi kept walking, walked upstairs without any hurry, and said as she walked: "There is nothing to worry about. If someone really relies on my Fangrong Pavilion because of this, I will naturally have a way to deal with it. If you don’t know something, just do what you need to do.”
After she said that, Qiu Ju naturally wouldn't have any objections. The reason why she was nervous was because she was worried that it would affect Fangrong Pavilion. Since Xiaoxi said that it would not affect their Fangrong Pavilion, then let it go.
Hmph, those people have the hearts of villains, and they Fangrong Pavilion open their doors to do business in a serious manner, and they are not deceitful people who want to deceive their money, saying that the things in their Fangrong Pavilion are too expensive... What, I want to keep my appearance, but I don't want to pay anything, how is this possible, and it's just a little extra money, how can those ladies be short of money?Be stingy, they deserve to be unlucky!
I don't even think about how many procedures they have to process after they ship the goat milk back for them to use. All of these require energy and cost!
Qiu Ju looked down on these ladies and ladies in her heart. She has stayed in Fangrong Pavilion for so long when she came to the capital, and she has gained a lot of knowledge. Those century-old families, high officials, even ordinary officials have no shortage of money in their homes. Otherwise, where did the silk and satin worn by the ladies and the gold and silver hairpins on their heads come from?
Tsk tsk tsk, I am willing to spend a lot of money for these things, but I am not willing to do it because of my own appearance. I don't know what I think.
In the past, Qiu Ju would definitely be the same as those wives and misses who love money. A goat milk bath in Fangrong Pavilion costs 200 taels of silver, and 200 taels of silver is enough for a family for several years!But now she has seen a lot, the nobles in the capital spend money like water, 200 taels of silver is nothing to them!
So Qiu Ju looked down on those who wanted to make goat milk baths at home in order to save money, and now that something happened, she didn't feel any sympathy.Now that Xiao Xi has said that she doesn't need to bother, then she should just ignore it and go to other things. She is the steward of Fangrong Pavilion, and she has a lot of things to do.
After reporting to Mu Jinxi the recent situation of Fangrong Pavilion, Qiu Ju went to work, while Mu Jinxi stayed in the private room on the third floor to look through the account books. It is now the beginning of the month, and the accounts of last month have just been sorted out. , She is free to come over today to take a look.
But just when she was about to finish looking through the ledger, Qiu Ju knocked on the door with a gloomy face and came in.
Seeing Qiu Ju's gloomy face, Mu Jinxi was a little surprised, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Qiu Ju has a very good temper, and it is rare to see her really get angry, and as the manager here, she must be a little more tactful, let alone get angry casually, which will impress the guests who come here. A bad impression is not good for her or Fangrong Pavilion, so Qiu Ju has more control over her temper and never gets angry easily.Wasn't it fine just now, why did you come in with a dark face after a while?
"Xiaoxi, someone downstairs is making trouble." Qiu Ju said sullenly.
She is really mad at her, she has never seen such a shameless person!
"Troubleshooting? Why?" Mu Jinxi was a little surprised.
It has been a few months since Fangrong Pavilion opened, and nothing wrong has ever happened. It may be because of my identity that people are jealous, so even if someone dislikes me and envies Fangrong Pavilion's booming business, but But no one dared to come directly to find fault.
Qiu Ju curled her lips, and said with some contempt: "It's not those ladies and ladies who insist on taking a goat's milk bath in their own homes."
When Qiu Ju said this, Mu Jinxi understood.Could it be that the madam or young lady who had an accident was upset, so they made a fuss in Fangrong Pavilion?
Thinking of this, Mu Jinxi couldn't help showing a mocking smile, knowing that Qiu Ju must have come up to alarm her because she couldn't handle it well.
"Okay, I'll go down with you to have a look." Mu Jinxi stood up, but she wanted to see which mansion's wife and lady it was.
It was only after going down to the second floor that I could vaguely hear noises coming from the rest area downstairs for receiving guests, as if someone was arguing about something, Mu Jinxi was not in a hurry, and walked down the stairs slowly, Qiu Ju One step ahead of her.
"All kinds of ladies and ladies don't need to quarrel again. Since you insist on saying that it is our Fangrong Pavilion's responsibility, then our boss has no choice but to come forward and tell you in person to see whose responsibility it is, so as to prevent you from biting me. Our Fangrong Pavilion!" Qiu Ju said with a straight face.
"What are you, dare to talk to Mrs. Ben like this?"
Qiu Ju said neither humble nor overbearing: "I am nothing, I am the steward of Fangrong Pavilion."
After finishing speaking, she still stared straight at the speaking lady, obviously not timid at all because of her identity.
Qiu Ju's attitude made the lady even more angry, and she couldn't help scolding Mu Jinxi who hadn't appeared yet.
Sure enough, there are servants who have what kind of master, and Mu Jinxi has always been a rampant and arrogant person, even her servants are like this!Hmph, sooner or later Mu Jinxi will be unlucky too, she will see how long she can be lucky!
"Isn't this Mrs. Tao? What's the matter? Fangrong Pavilion didn't serve Mrs. Tao well and that made Mrs. Tao so angry?"
When Mu Jinxi's unique calm and peaceful voice came, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.Everyone knows that Fangrong Pavilion is opened by Mu Jinxi, and she is the boss. If something goes wrong, it is better for the boss to come forward to solve it than for a manager to solve it.
The person who talked to Qiu Ju earlier was Mrs. Tao, who could be regarded as Mu Jinxi or the enemy of the Mu family.
The thing is like this, Mr. Tao and Mr. Tao both think that Tao Baozhu can marry Mu Jinhua, and Tao Baozhu himself is also willing. It would be a good thing if he can marry the Mu family, so let Mrs. Tao have time Just go to Xiao's mansion to establish a relationship with Mrs. Mu, or invite Mrs. Mu to come to the house when there is a banquet, and make friends, maybe the marriage will be smoother.
Although Mrs. Tao was reluctant in her heart, she was not without brains. She knew the benefits of being married to the Mu family, so she posted posts to Mrs. Mu and Mrs. Xiao after several large and small banquets held by the Tao Mansion. , but who knew that these two people had never participated before, they were clearly slapping her in the face!Make her a joke among ladies of all kinds!
She was naturally angry in her heart, and then she couldn't hold back for a while when she was tasting tea with a few good ladies in Tiankeju, so she complained to the people in the same company, that's all, but she couldn't control it With his own mouth, he trampled on the members of the Mu family and Mu Jinxi, and even used the matter of Mu Jinxi having a child out of wedlock.No one thought that Mrs. Mu, who hardly ever went out, happened to come out that day. After listening to Mrs. Tao's words, she turned her face in anger on the spot, scolded Mrs. Tao before leaving Tiankeju angrily.
Mrs. Tao was also dumbfounded, with anger and shame on her face.It's embarrassing and embarrassing to say bad things about people behind their backs and get caught upright, but the protagonist scolded her unceremoniously in front of everyone, which made her lose all face .
Although it is wrong for her to speak ill of people behind their backs, but who is Xiao Nianxun, after all, she is also the wife of a second-rank official, Mrs. Gong, Xiao Nianxun is nothing but a shabby householder, and the farmer's wife dares to insult her in public, She simply didn't take her and the Tao family seriously!How can she not be angry?Xiao Nianxun's status is not worthy of scolding her at all!
After being scolded, Mrs. Tao was also very angry, her whole face turned dark, and she stopped tasting tea, so she just got on her sedan chair and went back home.Who knows that this matter is not over yet. For some reason, Master Tao found out about what happened to her in Tiankeju. After returning home, Master Tao scolded her again, saying that she is stupid, has long hair and short knowledge, and that her success is not enough. The incident made Mrs. Tao very wronged by scolding.Naturally, I hated Xiao Nianxun and Mu Jinxi even more in my heart.
It just happened that the goat milk bath happened, and Madam Tao felt resentful. After thinking about it, she felt that if she advocated that everyone should not go to the Fangrong Pavilion to take the goat milk bath, she would directly ask the servants in the mansion to buy the goat milk back. You can also soak in it, why spend money to soak in Fangrong Pavilion?You must know that 200 taels of silver can buy a lot of goat milk, which can be soaked many times!So she tried her best to advocate those ladies and ladies.
Firstly, she can vent her anger for herself, and secondly, she can also make Mu Jinxi sick. If she knows that the fresh idea she worked so hard to come up with has been used by others, and she has spent so much on it, but it turns out to be thankless, she She will definitely be unhappy, Mu Jinxi is not happy, she is happy.
In fact, she was a little worried and uneasy at the beginning, for fear that Mu Jinxi would use her backing to make a fuss and stop everyone if she knew it was her fault, but she didn't expect that instead of stopping, she would take the powerful relationship with them Having said that, it seems that they are not worried at all, but they are a little afraid of the allergies she mentioned, but after she tried it out, she found that there was no such thing as the allergies Mu Jinxi said, and she immediately despised it in her heart. He felt that Mu Jinxi must have said that intentionally to intimidate them.
It’s okay if she doesn’t say anything, now the madam and young lady who were still a bit hesitant no longer hesitated, and they started soaking goat’s milk baths in their mansions, making the goat’s milk in pastures near the capital even more precious. The purchase price is also more than doubled.
The people in the ranch also said in private that this is thanks to the future little princess of the Mu Palace. If she hadn't come up with such a goat milk bath or something, the goat milk would have to be thrown away like garbage.
It's just that the good times don't last long, something happened!
The accident occurred in Mrs. Tao's own house, and it was her precious daughter Tao Baozhu!
Tao Baozhu didn't take a goat's milk bath in the mansion at the beginning, she always went to Fangrong Pavilion, the purpose was to meet Mu Jinhua in Fangrong Pavilion, and then take the opportunity to improve her relationship with him, but later Mu Jin Hua didn't know what was going on, she didn't go to Fangrong Pavilion anymore, Tao Baozhu didn't bother to go to Fangrong Pavilion to spend money anymore, and followed her mother in the mansion by herself, but who knew she didn't spend too much time. Something went wrong just a few times!
A few days ago, she took a bath with freshly brought goat milk, but she felt uncomfortable all over after soaking in it. When she came out of the bath, she realized that there were a lot of red spots on her body, which were itchy again. It was so painful that she screamed on the spot in fright.
Mrs. Tao rushed over to take a look, and almost fainted from her daughter's appearance of red spots all over her body.
Tao Baozhu knew that goat's milk could whiten the skin, so she used it not only for bathing, but also for washing her face. This time was no exception, but her face also suffered a lot, with many red spots appearing.
Mrs. Tao hurriedly sent someone to invite a doctor, who also prescribed medicine, but after taking the medicine, it didn't help, and it got worse. Seeing that she had become like this, Tao Baozhu spent all day in her yard. Everyone in the Tao Mansion knew that Mrs. Tao had always loved Tao Baozhu, so seeing her like this naturally made her feel distressed. After asking, she directly pushed the fault on Mu Jinxi, saying It was she who came up with such a harmful idea and asked Madam Tao and the others to settle accounts with her.
Mrs. Tao was also hurt and angry in her heart, she ran to Fangrong Pavilion without holding it back, and wanted to use this incident to discredit Fangrong Pavilion.
At this time, I saw Mu Jinxi wearing a white plum jacket embroidered with silver thread, and a light blue pleated skirt with golden silk falling plums. The skin on her face is white and translucent, her complexion is rosy, with white in the pink, but a light layer of rouge has been applied, but it makes her clear and beautiful appearance even more outstanding. A smile is not a smile.
Seeing Mu Jinxi like this, and thinking about the precious daughter who was hiding in the mansion at this time and dare not see anyone, Mrs. Tao stared at her gloomyly, and said in a strange voice: "Ms. If you can still remain indifferent, it is no wonder that the business of Fangrong Pavilion is getting better and better."
Mu Jinxi didn't seem to understand the sarcasm in Madam Tao's words, and said with a smile: "Thank you Madam Tao for your praise. I just don't know why Madam Tao is making trouble in Fangrong Pavilion today. I remember that Madam Tao hasn't come to Fangrong for a while. It's the court."
The implication of her words was that Mrs. Tao was causing trouble for no reason. Since she hadn't come to Fangrong Pavilion for a while, why did she look like she suffered such a big loss today?
Mrs. Tao's face twisted slightly, she pulled the veil in her hand and gritted her teeth, "Although I haven't come to Fangrong Pavilion, this matter now has nothing to do with your Fangrong Pavilion!"
"Oh? I would like to hear more about it." Mu Jinxi was not worried at all.
Although they were in the rest area where they received guests, so many people gathered together, they still attracted a lot of onlookers. Mrs. Tao glanced around, a vicious light flashed in her eyes, and then she raised her voice and said: " The goat milk bath is the first to start in Fangrong Pavilion, and you told everyone that using goat milk baths to wash the face can make the skin smoother and whiter, but now we use goat milk baths to make things happen. , but, it was almost disfigured, isn't this matter related to your Fangrong Pavilion?"
"What? Disfigurement? Mrs. Tao, what's going on?" Some people who were preparing to come to Fangrong Pavilion to soak goat milk immediately became nervous when they heard this.
Madam Tao's complexion changed, and she spoke out sadly what happened to her daughter. At the end, she didn't forget to explain that she was also driven into a hurry. Seeing her daughter's pain, she couldn't bear it, so she thought of asking Mu Jinxi for a question. Clearly, she was the one who said that goat milk baths are good, wasn't she?If it wasn't for her, how would they think of using something like goat's milk to take a bath?
Poor people are always easy to win the sympathy of others. Mrs. Tao described Tao Baozhu's situation as extremely pitiful, and she used her mother's status to seek an explanation for her daughter. I feel sorry for the parents of the world. Everyone suddenly He was full of sympathy for her, and many wives comforted her softly.
Mu Jinxi's lips twitched.
"Miss Mu, according to Mrs. Tao's words, the goat's milk may actually cause people to have red spots all over their bodies. This is really disfiguring. How can it be beautiful?"
"That's right, Miss Mu, didn't you say that soaking goat's milk can make the skin smooth and fair? What's going on now? The appearance of our girls is no joke!"
"Yes, Miss Mu, you, you should tell us, otherwise we wouldn't dare to have sex, right?"
According to Mrs. Tao's words, Tao Baozhu has a red rash all over her body, not to mention that it is so serious. Usually, some small wounds are enough to worry them. A woman's appearance and skin on her body are all untouchable. A little flawed!If Tao Baozhu couldn't recover, wouldn't this life be ruined?
Everyone asked in a hurry, a little impatient and worried, Mu Jinxi always listened to everyone's words with a smile on her face, not angry, but also eager to explain.
Seeing her like this, Mrs. Tao felt a fire in her heart all of a sudden, and the resentment that had been pent up in her heart these days immediately found a chance to vent.
"Mu Jinxi, don't think that with the support of the Prime Minister's Mansion and Prince Mu's Mansion behind you, you can use us so confidently. We are not those lowly cats and dogs who can be manipulated by you. You are such a child's play, when we are What?" Madam Tao said angrily.
Mrs. Tao's words clearly mean that Mu Jinxi treats these ladies as playthings, without considering their safety at all, and keeps using their beautiful hearts to make money desperately, but doesn't care about other things. If this is the case How dare they come to Fangrong Pavilion after that?What if beauty does not change and disfigurement at that time?
The faces of the ladies and ladies present were not so good.
"Hey, Mrs. Tao, why are you so unlucky to attract others? Do you hope that the lady present is as disfigured as your precious daughter?" A mocking voice came from behind the crowd, and everyone turned their heads to look, I saw Mo Xuerui, who was wearing a light yellow jacket, a light green pleated skirt around her waist, a dark red fox fur embroidered cloak, and a double ring bun, walking over, followed by Xu Morou, the young lady of the Xu family.Xu Morou was wearing a pale pink top, a pleated skirt with scattered flowers and silver threads, and a silver-white embroidered red plum cape behind her. One of them was bright and bright like a flame, and the other was as light and moving as moonlight.
There were two flames burning in Mo Xuerui's bright eyes, she came over and looked at Madam Tao contemptuously, and said coldly: "Madam Tao, you are really funny, you are so greedy for petty gains that you insist on soaking some goat milk in your own house , Now something happened, but you want to rely on the Fangrong Pavilion? It's really a wishful thinking. Mr. Tao is just an official who has been demoted by one level, how come your Tao Mansion's style has been dropped by several levels?"
"Miss Mo, please be careful with what you say! This matter has nothing to do with you, why do you need to get involved? Don't think that you are so rude to meddle in other people's family affairs because you are a lady in Duke Mo's house, let alone you , even your mother is not qualified for this! Don't disgrace your Duke Mo's mansion just to help Mu Jinxi!" Mrs. Tao's complexion turned blue and black alternately at Mo Xuerui's words.
The fact that the master was demoted for no reason is something that the whole family doesn't want to mention, because it is too aggrieved, but now Mo Xuerui, a kid, speaks out so boldly to satirize their Tao family, it's not good to be a Tao family is not it?After all, the master is also a second-rank official, so it's Mo Xuerui's turn to make irresponsible remarks.
"Mrs. Tao, don't get angry. I don't have any other intentions. I just want to say something fair. You said that Tao Baozhu's current state is the Fangrong Pavilion, and it was caused by Mu Jinxi. Isn't this nonsense? The milk bath was made in your house, not in Fangrong Pavilion, how dare you rely on Fangrong Pavilion and Xiaoxi?" Mo Xuerui shook her head, but said with a smile on her face, but this The smile can be seen as a mocking smile at a glance, and it makes people feel angry in vain.
Mrs. Tao was, she was choked by what Mo Xuerui said, she opened her mouth, and said after a while: "Although that's what I said, but Mu Jinxi started the goat milk bath no matter what, and it was she who said It's okay, now something happened, who is not to blame her?"
Mo Xuerui frowned, and was about to speak, but was stopped by Mu Jinxi, who looked at her suspiciously, and Mu Jinxi smiled at her before saying to Mrs. Tao: "Mrs. Tao, what you said is right, indeed I started the goat milk bath trend, and I also said that bathing with goat milk is not harmful."
Mrs. Tao showed a smug look on her face, and was about to speak, but Mu Jinxi went on to say: "It's just that I remember asking me before you wanted to buy goat's milk in the mansion and go back to take a bath. I told you that this is true. It is possible, but there are risks, and if it is not handled properly, it may cause allergies. Mrs. Tao is still young, and her memory should not be bad, remember what I said?"
Madam Tao's complexion changed slightly.
Of course she didn't forget it, but, at that time, everyone thought it was a lie that Mu Jinxi was deliberately trying to intimidate everyone, how could they believe it?And they have already soaked it several times, and nothing happened, it's just a little worse than the effect of soaking in Fangrong Pavilion, so they didn't take her words to heart even more.
It's not just Mrs. Tao who thinks so, but also those present who have tried taking a goat's milk bath in the mansion, but now listening to Mu Jinxi, what she said at that time was true?Was she really kind enough to remind them?
Mu Jinxi glanced at some people before saying: "I kindly reminded you that day, but you thought I was trying to scare you and think of the way you came to the Fangrong Pavilion. Now something happened, how can you blame me?" What about my head? And when Fang Rong Ge launched the goat milk bath, I have already said that the goat milk used in Fang Rong Ge is not freshly squeezed goat milk, it has been processed, so you will not use it Something happened. But you just bought the goat milk and used it... I mean, do you understand what the problem is?"
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.Because it was indeed as she said, but none of them took it to heart...
"Mu Jinxi, you're making excuses! Since it's processed goat's milk, why didn't you tell us and let us just use the goat's milk we bought for bathing?" Mrs. Tao questioned.
Mu Jinxi lifted her lips, her eyes were full of sarcasm, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Tao, are you joking? Have you ever met a businessman who would tell his secrets to others?"
She told them what they need to pay attention to is already humane, and she reminded them of possible situations from the beginning, isn't that kind enough?If it was in her previous life, she wouldn't bother to care about it. She was already fine without adding oil and vinegar.
You can't push your limits in life!
She is a businessman, not a Bodhisattva, alas!
"You!" Mrs. Tao was so angry that she didn't raise her breath, she held it in her chest, almost fainted, her body swayed slightly.
"I've said it long ago, it's only 200 taels of silver. Why do you guys bother to mess with the mansion? Don't worry about it, it's not safe. Now, in order to save that little money, do The skin that was broken and hard-fought to raise, I’m afraid it will take more money and thought to restore it, isn’t it worth the loss?” Mu Jinxi sighed softly, and said with some pity.
Those wives and young ladies who were messing around in the mansion couldn't help but blushed when they heard her words, and then glared at Mrs. Tao angrily.
It's all her fault. If she hadn't tried her best to encourage them at the beginning, they wouldn't have thought about making it in the mansion by themselves. Now it's fine, just the opposite.
I'm glad I didn't make it myself in the mansion. If there are any new gadgets coming out in the future, it's better to spend money honestly. Don't look for trouble, they don't lack a little money, right?In order not to be like Mrs. Tao in the end, it would be bad.
Mrs. Tao offended Mu Jinxi in this way, and she didn't know whether Mu Jinxi would let Mrs. Tao and her family come to Fangrong Pavilion in the future. The situation really does not lack these few guests.
If Mu Jinxi doesn't receive the wife and lady of the Tao family, there will be a good show.
(End of this chapter)
Although Mu Jinxi had told Jue Lin about his family's plans for him in advance, but there was not enough time and the matter was urgent, and Jue Lin hadn't thought of any good solution, so he was invited to Xiao's residence the next day. As Jin'er said to him, no matter whether it is from the Mu family or the Xiao family, the meaning is the same: the two of you should not meet before the big wedding, and you should calm down and think about it carefully, so that you can continue to get married .
Juelin was very depressed, and wanted to say that he didn't have to think about it. He had already thought clearly and understood that the big marriage must continue, and no matter what the reason was, nothing could stop his determination to marry Jin'er.But in the end, he could only swallow these words silently in his stomach. Who let himself be wronged in this matter?If I don't follow these people, I don't know how much they will stumbling me in the future. I haven't married Jin'er yet, and Jin'er is a filial child. She will never disobey her family because of herself Yes, not to mention that he has a criminal record.
After struggling and negotiating for a long time, members of the Mu family and Xiao family still refused to let go. Jue Lin could only accept this so-called punishment with grief and indignation, but they had already made up their minds. They just said that they could not take the initiative He came to Jin'er, but he didn't say that he would not be able to see him if he "met" on the street.
That being the case, from now on, he will not sneak to Xiao's mansion, and create more chances for chance encounters outside. He doesn't believe that this road is completely blocked. If the mountain does not come, I will go to the mountain. !There are always other ways to solve this problem, but he can't bear not seeing Jin'er and Xiaobao before the wedding.
And even if he could bear it, grandma and the emperor couldn't bear it either. They definitely wanted to see Xiaobao. As long as they did, would he still be able to see him?
The members of the Mu family and the Xiao family don't know whether they know the little Jiujiu in Jue Lin's heart?Maybe he knew it, but he turned a blind eye and closed his eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Jue Lin thought he had already figured out the way out, but soon he realized that his thinking was too simple!
He wanted to have a chance encounter, but whether it was Jin'er or Xiaobao, they went out less often!And every time he went out, there was someone by his side, not Mrs. Mu, Mu Jinhua, or Xiao Yu, Mrs. Xiao, and even his father-in-law!Absolutely won't let Jin'er be left alone, alone!How did he come across such a situation?
It was only at this time that Jue Lin realized that he had been slapped, and he was slapped hard!But he dared to be angry and dare not speak out, he could only swallow the pain in his stomach, who said that he was sorry for Jin'er first?
After doing this several times, Jue Lin completely gave up the idea of meeting in private.
The old concubine was just curious at the beginning, wondering that her grandson hadn't brought Jin'er and Xiaobao to play for a long time, and when she asked, she found out that he had done such good things, and immediately made the old concubine laugh angrily.She really didn't know that he did such a stupid thing. He was wrong at the beginning, and when he found out the truth, not only did he not remedy it in time, but he made more mistakes?It's his luck that the Mu family and the Xiao family didn't go to the emperor to ask to make fun of the marriage on the spot!Now this is simply pediatrics, a painless punishment is already the best result!
If he dares to do some tricks in private again, annoy the Mu family and the Xiao family, and wants to marry a wife, wait a few years!
The old concubine scolded Jue Lin severely on the spot, and then went to the Xiao Mansion to apologize to the Mu family couple in person. Mu Ankang and Xiao Nianxun were so frightened that they almost couldn't stand their ground. Fortunately, Xiao Madam appeared just in time to stabilize them.It's just that what the old concubine did really dissipated a lot of the resentment in their hearts. What is the status of the old concubine? It's really surprising that she can personally apologize to them.
In fact, they also understand that Jue Lin's identity, even if he has done too much in the eyes of the world, is not too much in the eyes of the world. If people find out, those people will probably think it is Xiaoxi's blessing. He was not a family member, and he was not an official. He was just an ordinary peasant family. It was a blessing accumulated by his ancestors that he was able to save the only prince of the opposite sex in Dachu by chance.
If Jue Lin was the kind of common nobleman, at most he would just give the Mu family a large sum of money as a reward. As for their daughter, if she saved Jue Lin's life with her innocence, at most she would be accepted into the palace as a maid. A famous aunt, a concubine, it is absolutely impossible to be a princess!Even though she has already given birth to a son for Jue Lin, her status is impossible to be a princess.
But now she can not only be a princess, but also the marriage between the two was bestowed by the emperor himself, what else can't be satisfied?You should be grateful to Dade!
The members of the Mu family all understand that it is one thing to understand, and another to accept it. They are not the kind of people who like to climb dragons and phoenixes. They just want to get some justice for their daughter and make a sacrifice for her. Just breath.
Now the old concubine came to apologize in person, which deeply shocked them, and they couldn't help feeling guilty and guilty, wondering if they had gone too far?They dared to do this only because they knew Jue Lin's feelings for Xiaoxi, so they were so bold and confident...
Knowing what they were thinking, the old concubine said seriously that they were not wrong, that Juelin should be punished for doing such an excessive thing, and that nothing had happened because of his status, it would be unfair to Jin'er.It also reassures them that she will not favor Jue Lin, and they can do whatever they think they should do!She now treats Jin'er as her own granddaughter, and she will be her granddaughter-in-law after she gets married in the future.
When the old concubine said this, Mu Ankang and Xiao Nianxun felt even more embarrassed. They felt that they were too hypocritical, and secretly wondered whether Juelin's punishment should be reduced or not?
But thinking this way in their hearts, they controlled their mouths and did not say anything. Neither of them noticed the glint of success in the eyes of the old princess before she left.
Mrs. Xiao sneered when she knew that the old concubine came to apologize in person. His daughter and son-in-law didn’t know, but he understood that the old concubine did this for Jue Lin. She is an elder and an old concubine, but now she can She personally came to the door to say sorry to her daughter and son-in-law, who were much lower than herself, because of Jue Lin's matter. This is not something ordinary people can do, but she did.
The result of this is to smoothly help Juelin reverse the image in the eyes of his daughter and son-in-law. The two of them honestly estimate that their anger towards Juelin has almost disappeared in their hearts. The fact that Lin and Xiaoxi are not allowed to meet before their wedding is over!
It has to be said that the old concubine was more clever and cunning, and she definitely made her soft-hearted daughter and son-in-law fall for such a trick of showing weakness.Mrs. Xiao thought so.
Sure enough, just as Mrs. Xiao thought, it didn’t take long for Mu Jinxi to stop following people all the time, and sometimes Mu Jinxi would go out alone to the Fortune Restaurant or Fangrong Pavilion. Jue Lin finally found a chance to meet the beautiful woman Yes, but this is already a year ago.
After the introduction of goat milk in Fangrong Pavilion, it caused a huge sensation, which made those ladies and wives go crazy and ran to Fangrong Pavilion to buy this item. Some restrictive conditions had to be introduced to stabilize this frenzied situation.
But the price of the goat milk bath is considered expensive, which makes many people feel that Fangrong Pavilion is too much, and thinks that this is clearly extorting them. Goat milk is nothing rare, and it has never been thrown away before People want it, how did it become such a precious thing when it came to Fangrong Pavilion?
So many people saw Fangrong Pavilion like this and wanted to take the opportunity to make a fortune. There are actually many such shops near Fangrong Pavilion, and many wives and ladies feel that it is too expensive to marry Fangrong Pavilion and take a goat milk bath. It's a bit too much, since it's a goat's milk bath, they can buy goat's milk and make it different at home, why bother to go to the Fangrong Pavilion?
At the beginning, the madam and miss who had tried it a few times at Fangrong Pavilion and found it to be effective had tentatively asked Mu Jinxi after seeing her.Mu Jinxi naturally knew what these people were thinking, and she didn't feel angry. Instead, she told them honestly that they could indeed buy goat milk baths at home, but the effect was not as good as Fang Rong's. The pavilion is so good, and there may be some other problems. After all, the goat milk in the Fangrong Pavilion is shipped back to the guests after additional treatment.What's more, if you are not careful, you may be allergic.
After hearing Mu Jinxi's words, everyone was dubious. Some people hesitated for a long time and decided to try soaking at home. Except that the effect was not as good as in Fangrong Pavilion, there was no other problem. Everyone immediately felt that Mu Jinxi was talking about allergies. It was simply alarmist, and they all followed suit. They ordered their servants to go to the ranch to buy goat milk and soak it in the house.
Who knows that something will happen in a short time.
When Mu Jinxi arrived at Fangrong Pavilion that day, she was hurriedly stopped by Qiu Ju.
"Xiaoxi, do you know everything?"
As Mu Jinxi was walking, she didn't know what to ask, so she asked, "Know what?"
"It's because someone used goat's milk to soak in the bath!" Qiu Ju said anxiously.
Compared to Qiu Ju's impatience, Mu Jinxi was much calmer, and said, "Oh, as long as the accident didn't happen in our Fangrong Pavilion, it's fine if something happened to someone else in the bath at home, what does it matter to us?"
She had thought of this possibility a long time ago. She had already told those people at the beginning that those people didn't take her words seriously and insisted on making troubles at home. Now that something happened, it has nothing to do with her. It doesn't matter, she has already said what should be said.
Hearing what Mu Jinxi said, Qiu Ju was startled, as if she hadn't expected her to react like this.
Mu Jinxi glanced at Qiu Ju and asked, "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
Qiu Ju opened her mouth and said gruffly: "Xiaoxi, aren't you worried that this matter will affect Fangrong Pavilion? Although it is said that they bought the goat milk foam in the mansion by themselves, but, no matter what It was our Fangrong Pavilion who launched this bath first, and those ladies and ladies are all of status..."
If the time comes and they put the matter on Fangrong Pavilion, it will be troublesome.
Mu Jinxi kept walking, walked upstairs without any hurry, and said as she walked: "There is nothing to worry about. If someone really relies on my Fangrong Pavilion because of this, I will naturally have a way to deal with it. If you don’t know something, just do what you need to do.”
After she said that, Qiu Ju naturally wouldn't have any objections. The reason why she was nervous was because she was worried that it would affect Fangrong Pavilion. Since Xiaoxi said that it would not affect their Fangrong Pavilion, then let it go.
Hmph, those people have the hearts of villains, and they Fangrong Pavilion open their doors to do business in a serious manner, and they are not deceitful people who want to deceive their money, saying that the things in their Fangrong Pavilion are too expensive... What, I want to keep my appearance, but I don't want to pay anything, how is this possible, and it's just a little extra money, how can those ladies be short of money?Be stingy, they deserve to be unlucky!
I don't even think about how many procedures they have to process after they ship the goat milk back for them to use. All of these require energy and cost!
Qiu Ju looked down on these ladies and ladies in her heart. She has stayed in Fangrong Pavilion for so long when she came to the capital, and she has gained a lot of knowledge. Those century-old families, high officials, even ordinary officials have no shortage of money in their homes. Otherwise, where did the silk and satin worn by the ladies and the gold and silver hairpins on their heads come from?
Tsk tsk tsk, I am willing to spend a lot of money for these things, but I am not willing to do it because of my own appearance. I don't know what I think.
In the past, Qiu Ju would definitely be the same as those wives and misses who love money. A goat milk bath in Fangrong Pavilion costs 200 taels of silver, and 200 taels of silver is enough for a family for several years!But now she has seen a lot, the nobles in the capital spend money like water, 200 taels of silver is nothing to them!
So Qiu Ju looked down on those who wanted to make goat milk baths at home in order to save money, and now that something happened, she didn't feel any sympathy.Now that Xiao Xi has said that she doesn't need to bother, then she should just ignore it and go to other things. She is the steward of Fangrong Pavilion, and she has a lot of things to do.
After reporting to Mu Jinxi the recent situation of Fangrong Pavilion, Qiu Ju went to work, while Mu Jinxi stayed in the private room on the third floor to look through the account books. It is now the beginning of the month, and the accounts of last month have just been sorted out. , She is free to come over today to take a look.
But just when she was about to finish looking through the ledger, Qiu Ju knocked on the door with a gloomy face and came in.
Seeing Qiu Ju's gloomy face, Mu Jinxi was a little surprised, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Qiu Ju has a very good temper, and it is rare to see her really get angry, and as the manager here, she must be a little more tactful, let alone get angry casually, which will impress the guests who come here. A bad impression is not good for her or Fangrong Pavilion, so Qiu Ju has more control over her temper and never gets angry easily.Wasn't it fine just now, why did you come in with a dark face after a while?
"Xiaoxi, someone downstairs is making trouble." Qiu Ju said sullenly.
She is really mad at her, she has never seen such a shameless person!
"Troubleshooting? Why?" Mu Jinxi was a little surprised.
It has been a few months since Fangrong Pavilion opened, and nothing wrong has ever happened. It may be because of my identity that people are jealous, so even if someone dislikes me and envies Fangrong Pavilion's booming business, but But no one dared to come directly to find fault.
Qiu Ju curled her lips, and said with some contempt: "It's not those ladies and ladies who insist on taking a goat's milk bath in their own homes."
When Qiu Ju said this, Mu Jinxi understood.Could it be that the madam or young lady who had an accident was upset, so they made a fuss in Fangrong Pavilion?
Thinking of this, Mu Jinxi couldn't help showing a mocking smile, knowing that Qiu Ju must have come up to alarm her because she couldn't handle it well.
"Okay, I'll go down with you to have a look." Mu Jinxi stood up, but she wanted to see which mansion's wife and lady it was.
It was only after going down to the second floor that I could vaguely hear noises coming from the rest area downstairs for receiving guests, as if someone was arguing about something, Mu Jinxi was not in a hurry, and walked down the stairs slowly, Qiu Ju One step ahead of her.
"All kinds of ladies and ladies don't need to quarrel again. Since you insist on saying that it is our Fangrong Pavilion's responsibility, then our boss has no choice but to come forward and tell you in person to see whose responsibility it is, so as to prevent you from biting me. Our Fangrong Pavilion!" Qiu Ju said with a straight face.
"What are you, dare to talk to Mrs. Ben like this?"
Qiu Ju said neither humble nor overbearing: "I am nothing, I am the steward of Fangrong Pavilion."
After finishing speaking, she still stared straight at the speaking lady, obviously not timid at all because of her identity.
Qiu Ju's attitude made the lady even more angry, and she couldn't help scolding Mu Jinxi who hadn't appeared yet.
Sure enough, there are servants who have what kind of master, and Mu Jinxi has always been a rampant and arrogant person, even her servants are like this!Hmph, sooner or later Mu Jinxi will be unlucky too, she will see how long she can be lucky!
"Isn't this Mrs. Tao? What's the matter? Fangrong Pavilion didn't serve Mrs. Tao well and that made Mrs. Tao so angry?"
When Mu Jinxi's unique calm and peaceful voice came, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.Everyone knows that Fangrong Pavilion is opened by Mu Jinxi, and she is the boss. If something goes wrong, it is better for the boss to come forward to solve it than for a manager to solve it.
The person who talked to Qiu Ju earlier was Mrs. Tao, who could be regarded as Mu Jinxi or the enemy of the Mu family.
The thing is like this, Mr. Tao and Mr. Tao both think that Tao Baozhu can marry Mu Jinhua, and Tao Baozhu himself is also willing. It would be a good thing if he can marry the Mu family, so let Mrs. Tao have time Just go to Xiao's mansion to establish a relationship with Mrs. Mu, or invite Mrs. Mu to come to the house when there is a banquet, and make friends, maybe the marriage will be smoother.
Although Mrs. Tao was reluctant in her heart, she was not without brains. She knew the benefits of being married to the Mu family, so she posted posts to Mrs. Mu and Mrs. Xiao after several large and small banquets held by the Tao Mansion. , but who knew that these two people had never participated before, they were clearly slapping her in the face!Make her a joke among ladies of all kinds!
She was naturally angry in her heart, and then she couldn't hold back for a while when she was tasting tea with a few good ladies in Tiankeju, so she complained to the people in the same company, that's all, but she couldn't control it With his own mouth, he trampled on the members of the Mu family and Mu Jinxi, and even used the matter of Mu Jinxi having a child out of wedlock.No one thought that Mrs. Mu, who hardly ever went out, happened to come out that day. After listening to Mrs. Tao's words, she turned her face in anger on the spot, scolded Mrs. Tao before leaving Tiankeju angrily.
Mrs. Tao was also dumbfounded, with anger and shame on her face.It's embarrassing and embarrassing to say bad things about people behind their backs and get caught upright, but the protagonist scolded her unceremoniously in front of everyone, which made her lose all face .
Although it is wrong for her to speak ill of people behind their backs, but who is Xiao Nianxun, after all, she is also the wife of a second-rank official, Mrs. Gong, Xiao Nianxun is nothing but a shabby householder, and the farmer's wife dares to insult her in public, She simply didn't take her and the Tao family seriously!How can she not be angry?Xiao Nianxun's status is not worthy of scolding her at all!
After being scolded, Mrs. Tao was also very angry, her whole face turned dark, and she stopped tasting tea, so she just got on her sedan chair and went back home.Who knows that this matter is not over yet. For some reason, Master Tao found out about what happened to her in Tiankeju. After returning home, Master Tao scolded her again, saying that she is stupid, has long hair and short knowledge, and that her success is not enough. The incident made Mrs. Tao very wronged by scolding.Naturally, I hated Xiao Nianxun and Mu Jinxi even more in my heart.
It just happened that the goat milk bath happened, and Madam Tao felt resentful. After thinking about it, she felt that if she advocated that everyone should not go to the Fangrong Pavilion to take the goat milk bath, she would directly ask the servants in the mansion to buy the goat milk back. You can also soak in it, why spend money to soak in Fangrong Pavilion?You must know that 200 taels of silver can buy a lot of goat milk, which can be soaked many times!So she tried her best to advocate those ladies and ladies.
Firstly, she can vent her anger for herself, and secondly, she can also make Mu Jinxi sick. If she knows that the fresh idea she worked so hard to come up with has been used by others, and she has spent so much on it, but it turns out to be thankless, she She will definitely be unhappy, Mu Jinxi is not happy, she is happy.
In fact, she was a little worried and uneasy at the beginning, for fear that Mu Jinxi would use her backing to make a fuss and stop everyone if she knew it was her fault, but she didn't expect that instead of stopping, she would take the powerful relationship with them Having said that, it seems that they are not worried at all, but they are a little afraid of the allergies she mentioned, but after she tried it out, she found that there was no such thing as the allergies Mu Jinxi said, and she immediately despised it in her heart. He felt that Mu Jinxi must have said that intentionally to intimidate them.
It’s okay if she doesn’t say anything, now the madam and young lady who were still a bit hesitant no longer hesitated, and they started soaking goat’s milk baths in their mansions, making the goat’s milk in pastures near the capital even more precious. The purchase price is also more than doubled.
The people in the ranch also said in private that this is thanks to the future little princess of the Mu Palace. If she hadn't come up with such a goat milk bath or something, the goat milk would have to be thrown away like garbage.
It's just that the good times don't last long, something happened!
The accident occurred in Mrs. Tao's own house, and it was her precious daughter Tao Baozhu!
Tao Baozhu didn't take a goat's milk bath in the mansion at the beginning, she always went to Fangrong Pavilion, the purpose was to meet Mu Jinhua in Fangrong Pavilion, and then take the opportunity to improve her relationship with him, but later Mu Jin Hua didn't know what was going on, she didn't go to Fangrong Pavilion anymore, Tao Baozhu didn't bother to go to Fangrong Pavilion to spend money anymore, and followed her mother in the mansion by herself, but who knew she didn't spend too much time. Something went wrong just a few times!
A few days ago, she took a bath with freshly brought goat milk, but she felt uncomfortable all over after soaking in it. When she came out of the bath, she realized that there were a lot of red spots on her body, which were itchy again. It was so painful that she screamed on the spot in fright.
Mrs. Tao rushed over to take a look, and almost fainted from her daughter's appearance of red spots all over her body.
Tao Baozhu knew that goat's milk could whiten the skin, so she used it not only for bathing, but also for washing her face. This time was no exception, but her face also suffered a lot, with many red spots appearing.
Mrs. Tao hurriedly sent someone to invite a doctor, who also prescribed medicine, but after taking the medicine, it didn't help, and it got worse. Seeing that she had become like this, Tao Baozhu spent all day in her yard. Everyone in the Tao Mansion knew that Mrs. Tao had always loved Tao Baozhu, so seeing her like this naturally made her feel distressed. After asking, she directly pushed the fault on Mu Jinxi, saying It was she who came up with such a harmful idea and asked Madam Tao and the others to settle accounts with her.
Mrs. Tao was also hurt and angry in her heart, she ran to Fangrong Pavilion without holding it back, and wanted to use this incident to discredit Fangrong Pavilion.
At this time, I saw Mu Jinxi wearing a white plum jacket embroidered with silver thread, and a light blue pleated skirt with golden silk falling plums. The skin on her face is white and translucent, her complexion is rosy, with white in the pink, but a light layer of rouge has been applied, but it makes her clear and beautiful appearance even more outstanding. A smile is not a smile.
Seeing Mu Jinxi like this, and thinking about the precious daughter who was hiding in the mansion at this time and dare not see anyone, Mrs. Tao stared at her gloomyly, and said in a strange voice: "Ms. If you can still remain indifferent, it is no wonder that the business of Fangrong Pavilion is getting better and better."
Mu Jinxi didn't seem to understand the sarcasm in Madam Tao's words, and said with a smile: "Thank you Madam Tao for your praise. I just don't know why Madam Tao is making trouble in Fangrong Pavilion today. I remember that Madam Tao hasn't come to Fangrong for a while. It's the court."
The implication of her words was that Mrs. Tao was causing trouble for no reason. Since she hadn't come to Fangrong Pavilion for a while, why did she look like she suffered such a big loss today?
Mrs. Tao's face twisted slightly, she pulled the veil in her hand and gritted her teeth, "Although I haven't come to Fangrong Pavilion, this matter now has nothing to do with your Fangrong Pavilion!"
"Oh? I would like to hear more about it." Mu Jinxi was not worried at all.
Although they were in the rest area where they received guests, so many people gathered together, they still attracted a lot of onlookers. Mrs. Tao glanced around, a vicious light flashed in her eyes, and then she raised her voice and said: " The goat milk bath is the first to start in Fangrong Pavilion, and you told everyone that using goat milk baths to wash the face can make the skin smoother and whiter, but now we use goat milk baths to make things happen. , but, it was almost disfigured, isn't this matter related to your Fangrong Pavilion?"
"What? Disfigurement? Mrs. Tao, what's going on?" Some people who were preparing to come to Fangrong Pavilion to soak goat milk immediately became nervous when they heard this.
Madam Tao's complexion changed, and she spoke out sadly what happened to her daughter. At the end, she didn't forget to explain that she was also driven into a hurry. Seeing her daughter's pain, she couldn't bear it, so she thought of asking Mu Jinxi for a question. Clearly, she was the one who said that goat milk baths are good, wasn't she?If it wasn't for her, how would they think of using something like goat's milk to take a bath?
Poor people are always easy to win the sympathy of others. Mrs. Tao described Tao Baozhu's situation as extremely pitiful, and she used her mother's status to seek an explanation for her daughter. I feel sorry for the parents of the world. Everyone suddenly He was full of sympathy for her, and many wives comforted her softly.
Mu Jinxi's lips twitched.
"Miss Mu, according to Mrs. Tao's words, the goat's milk may actually cause people to have red spots all over their bodies. This is really disfiguring. How can it be beautiful?"
"That's right, Miss Mu, didn't you say that soaking goat's milk can make the skin smooth and fair? What's going on now? The appearance of our girls is no joke!"
"Yes, Miss Mu, you, you should tell us, otherwise we wouldn't dare to have sex, right?"
According to Mrs. Tao's words, Tao Baozhu has a red rash all over her body, not to mention that it is so serious. Usually, some small wounds are enough to worry them. A woman's appearance and skin on her body are all untouchable. A little flawed!If Tao Baozhu couldn't recover, wouldn't this life be ruined?
Everyone asked in a hurry, a little impatient and worried, Mu Jinxi always listened to everyone's words with a smile on her face, not angry, but also eager to explain.
Seeing her like this, Mrs. Tao felt a fire in her heart all of a sudden, and the resentment that had been pent up in her heart these days immediately found a chance to vent.
"Mu Jinxi, don't think that with the support of the Prime Minister's Mansion and Prince Mu's Mansion behind you, you can use us so confidently. We are not those lowly cats and dogs who can be manipulated by you. You are such a child's play, when we are What?" Madam Tao said angrily.
Mrs. Tao's words clearly mean that Mu Jinxi treats these ladies as playthings, without considering their safety at all, and keeps using their beautiful hearts to make money desperately, but doesn't care about other things. If this is the case How dare they come to Fangrong Pavilion after that?What if beauty does not change and disfigurement at that time?
The faces of the ladies and ladies present were not so good.
"Hey, Mrs. Tao, why are you so unlucky to attract others? Do you hope that the lady present is as disfigured as your precious daughter?" A mocking voice came from behind the crowd, and everyone turned their heads to look, I saw Mo Xuerui, who was wearing a light yellow jacket, a light green pleated skirt around her waist, a dark red fox fur embroidered cloak, and a double ring bun, walking over, followed by Xu Morou, the young lady of the Xu family.Xu Morou was wearing a pale pink top, a pleated skirt with scattered flowers and silver threads, and a silver-white embroidered red plum cape behind her. One of them was bright and bright like a flame, and the other was as light and moving as moonlight.
There were two flames burning in Mo Xuerui's bright eyes, she came over and looked at Madam Tao contemptuously, and said coldly: "Madam Tao, you are really funny, you are so greedy for petty gains that you insist on soaking some goat milk in your own house , Now something happened, but you want to rely on the Fangrong Pavilion? It's really a wishful thinking. Mr. Tao is just an official who has been demoted by one level, how come your Tao Mansion's style has been dropped by several levels?"
"Miss Mo, please be careful with what you say! This matter has nothing to do with you, why do you need to get involved? Don't think that you are so rude to meddle in other people's family affairs because you are a lady in Duke Mo's house, let alone you , even your mother is not qualified for this! Don't disgrace your Duke Mo's mansion just to help Mu Jinxi!" Mrs. Tao's complexion turned blue and black alternately at Mo Xuerui's words.
The fact that the master was demoted for no reason is something that the whole family doesn't want to mention, because it is too aggrieved, but now Mo Xuerui, a kid, speaks out so boldly to satirize their Tao family, it's not good to be a Tao family is not it?After all, the master is also a second-rank official, so it's Mo Xuerui's turn to make irresponsible remarks.
"Mrs. Tao, don't get angry. I don't have any other intentions. I just want to say something fair. You said that Tao Baozhu's current state is the Fangrong Pavilion, and it was caused by Mu Jinxi. Isn't this nonsense? The milk bath was made in your house, not in Fangrong Pavilion, how dare you rely on Fangrong Pavilion and Xiaoxi?" Mo Xuerui shook her head, but said with a smile on her face, but this The smile can be seen as a mocking smile at a glance, and it makes people feel angry in vain.
Mrs. Tao was, she was choked by what Mo Xuerui said, she opened her mouth, and said after a while: "Although that's what I said, but Mu Jinxi started the goat milk bath no matter what, and it was she who said It's okay, now something happened, who is not to blame her?"
Mo Xuerui frowned, and was about to speak, but was stopped by Mu Jinxi, who looked at her suspiciously, and Mu Jinxi smiled at her before saying to Mrs. Tao: "Mrs. Tao, what you said is right, indeed I started the goat milk bath trend, and I also said that bathing with goat milk is not harmful."
Mrs. Tao showed a smug look on her face, and was about to speak, but Mu Jinxi went on to say: "It's just that I remember asking me before you wanted to buy goat's milk in the mansion and go back to take a bath. I told you that this is true. It is possible, but there are risks, and if it is not handled properly, it may cause allergies. Mrs. Tao is still young, and her memory should not be bad, remember what I said?"
Madam Tao's complexion changed slightly.
Of course she didn't forget it, but, at that time, everyone thought it was a lie that Mu Jinxi was deliberately trying to intimidate everyone, how could they believe it?And they have already soaked it several times, and nothing happened, it's just a little worse than the effect of soaking in Fangrong Pavilion, so they didn't take her words to heart even more.
It's not just Mrs. Tao who thinks so, but also those present who have tried taking a goat's milk bath in the mansion, but now listening to Mu Jinxi, what she said at that time was true?Was she really kind enough to remind them?
Mu Jinxi glanced at some people before saying: "I kindly reminded you that day, but you thought I was trying to scare you and think of the way you came to the Fangrong Pavilion. Now something happened, how can you blame me?" What about my head? And when Fang Rong Ge launched the goat milk bath, I have already said that the goat milk used in Fang Rong Ge is not freshly squeezed goat milk, it has been processed, so you will not use it Something happened. But you just bought the goat milk and used it... I mean, do you understand what the problem is?"
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.Because it was indeed as she said, but none of them took it to heart...
"Mu Jinxi, you're making excuses! Since it's processed goat's milk, why didn't you tell us and let us just use the goat's milk we bought for bathing?" Mrs. Tao questioned.
Mu Jinxi lifted her lips, her eyes were full of sarcasm, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Tao, are you joking? Have you ever met a businessman who would tell his secrets to others?"
She told them what they need to pay attention to is already humane, and she reminded them of possible situations from the beginning, isn't that kind enough?If it was in her previous life, she wouldn't bother to care about it. She was already fine without adding oil and vinegar.
You can't push your limits in life!
She is a businessman, not a Bodhisattva, alas!
"You!" Mrs. Tao was so angry that she didn't raise her breath, she held it in her chest, almost fainted, her body swayed slightly.
"I've said it long ago, it's only 200 taels of silver. Why do you guys bother to mess with the mansion? Don't worry about it, it's not safe. Now, in order to save that little money, do The skin that was broken and hard-fought to raise, I’m afraid it will take more money and thought to restore it, isn’t it worth the loss?” Mu Jinxi sighed softly, and said with some pity.
Those wives and young ladies who were messing around in the mansion couldn't help but blushed when they heard her words, and then glared at Mrs. Tao angrily.
It's all her fault. If she hadn't tried her best to encourage them at the beginning, they wouldn't have thought about making it in the mansion by themselves. Now it's fine, just the opposite.
I'm glad I didn't make it myself in the mansion. If there are any new gadgets coming out in the future, it's better to spend money honestly. Don't look for trouble, they don't lack a little money, right?In order not to be like Mrs. Tao in the end, it would be bad.
Mrs. Tao offended Mu Jinxi in this way, and she didn't know whether Mu Jinxi would let Mrs. Tao and her family come to Fangrong Pavilion in the future. The situation really does not lack these few guests.
If Mu Jinxi doesn't receive the wife and lady of the Tao family, there will be a good show.
