Confucius businesswoman: proud of the world

Chapter 167
Hua Hongxiao, who returned to the carriage, was like an eggplant beaten by frost, and her whole body was listless.Shuang'er was also careful not to touch bad things. This eldest lady is a medical fairy to the outside world, but their maids are very lowly, and eggs can't touch rocks.

The carriage returned to the street just now, and the coachman was also bitten by a snake, and asked tremblingly, "Miss, are you still going to see the silk?"

Hua Hongxiao raised her eyes, her whole body was exhausted, she pulled her face for a while before saying: "Get out of the car!"

Shuang'er got the order immediately, first helped her open the curtain, then jumped down to help Hua Hongxiao carefully.

Hua Hongxiao could see that she was also hit hard, and she pushed the maid's hand away angrily, and faced the directionless street: "Then what about the shop selling silk and satin? Where is it?"

Shuang'er hurried forward to lead her the way, she hoped that what happened in a while would really brighten Hua Hongxiao's eyes, and it would be impossible to forget what happened just now, but at least it could ease the anger of this aunt and make Hua Hongxiao feel at peace a little.

Sure enough, there were people coming and going at the entrance of the silk and satin shop, it seemed that they were looking for the right place, Shuang'er saw that Hua Hongxiao was a little interested, and immediately stepped forward to help her clear the way, and waved away the people blocking the entrance.

Although the entrance looked noisy, the store was orderly and orderly, Shuang'er was half relieved, and went to look at Hua Hongxiao.

The cloud on Hua Hongxiao's face faded a little, and she saw the silks and satins displayed in the shop, those embroidered and painted were laid out in the most conspicuous position.

Hua Hongxiao saw the material her aunt was wearing from the inside, her face brightened a little, and she immediately walked over to take a look.The more I looked at her, the more relaxed the expression on her face was, and at last she showed the same look of anticipation as when she came.

Shuang'er breathed a sigh of relief, and she couldn't help but look at the satin, too, how could a woman not be tempted by such a gorgeous satin.Although she can't wear such a material in her life, she can feast her eyes on it.

Hua Hongxiao immediately called the shopkeeper loudly: "I want all these satins no matter how they are sold!"

Hua Hongxiao originally came here for these satins, and because she was frustrated just now, she just felt that she had to do something to calm down the anger in her heart.

Zhuge Qingyun looked at the silks and satins, and said, "Do you want them all?"

Hua Hongxiao immediately raised her head: "Naturally, didn't you hear what I just said?"

Everyone on this street has status, and this kind of haughty attitude is not seen every day, Zhuge Qingyun nodded normally: "Okay, these satins are 100 taels in total, girl, please pay here, I will let the guy Pack it up for you."

Shuang'er looked at Hua Hongxiao anxiously: "Miss, we didn't bring so much cash with us when we went out."

100 taels is not a small number for their female relatives, and I didn't expect Hua Hongxiao to buy all the satin, so it was stretched all at once.

Hua Hongxiao frowned, but the next moment she raised her head and asked Zhuge Qingyun: "You are such a big shop, you should be able to pay on credit, right?"

Credit is not uncommon. It should be said that in the capital, the bigger the store, the less likely it is to leave the credit business. Especially for some nobles, there are too many things to calculate the money after buying in large quantities.

That's why Hua Hongxiao dared to ask such a question, and had done business with so many noble ladies, this shop would not dare to cross the river and demolish the bridge.

Zhuge Qingyun took a look at her and made up his mind: "Credit is also acceptable, but you need to sign a private seal on the account book of our store, as long as the money can be delivered within three days."

Hua Hongxiao smiled when she heard the words, of course she would not owe money to the Governor's Mansion, this little silk is nothing.

She walked over immediately to sign the stamp, when she caught a glimpse of the curtain of the inner door being lifted, and a face that she never wanted to see in her life came out.

Zhuge Qingyun said politely: "You need to check your identity with our eldest lady face to face for the signature, and you can credit it after confirming that it is correct."

Of course, this is also an insurance measure for the store. After all, if everyone pays on credit and one or two troublemakers appear, the silk and satin village will be compensated badly.

But at this moment, seeing Kong Linglong who suddenly appeared, everything changed again in Hua Hongxiao's eyes.

Kong Linglong also looked at Hua Hongxiao without saying a word.

After a while, Hua Hongxiao was so angry that she laughed instead, "Kong Linglong? Are you playing with me?" She gritted her teeth.

Yu'er behind her is strange, where does Miss Hua see that their lady is playing tricks on her?Does this lady think that everyone is trying to harm her?There is something bad in my heart.

Hua Hongxiao suddenly took a few steps back and looked around: "You run this shop?"

Kong Linglong is the owner behind it, so it's okay to say that she opened it.Kong Linglong looked at her and said slowly, "It's me."

Hua Hongxiao pointed at Kong Linglong: "Didn't you run a medical clinic? What does this silk and satin shop have to do with you?"

Yu'er watched her daughter patiently answer her one by one: "There are more than ten stores in this area, all of which are owned by my Kong family."

Yu'er straightened her chest out, somehow, she felt that this light sentence brought her an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

Hua Hongxiao suddenly dropped her handkerchief, and sneered again and again: "Are you amazing? Challenge me? Very good, from now on, this lady will never come here again!"

After speaking, he rushed out of the silk and satin village, and Shuang'er hurriedly followed her.Kong Linglong was not surprised by this result, she knew it from the moment she heard Hua Hongxiao's voice inside.

Yu'er clicked her tongue and said, "It's clear that she hurt us first, but it seems like we are sorry for her."

-

Hua Hongxiao ran into two setbacks when she went out this time.As soon as he entered the house, he immediately shunned all the servants and tore everything in the room.This ferocious appearance cannot be seen by the people in the Dudu Mansion.

When Madam Bai heard the news, she rushed over, and she couldn't believe that this was the daughter who had acted calm and calm after listening to her words a few days ago.

Mrs. Bai had already learned what happened from Shuang'er, but she clearly knew where the key point was. She stared closely at Hua Hongxiao's face: "For a man, did you become like this?"

Hua Hongxiao's eyes were red, and she stared at Mrs. Bai the same way Mrs. Bai stared at her: "Mother! He is not an ordinary man!"

Mrs. Bai's face was cold: "Yes, so what, what do you like about him, chic? Handsome? He looks nobler than other men?"

Hua Hong's eyes were red and she didn't speak.

Mrs. Bai snorted coldly: "Since ancient times, women have loved pretty men. I know what you are thinking. Since the moment you saw you in the palace two years ago, you have lost your soul. But mother has also reminded you that you can fight for that man." , I can try my best to shorten the distance between you and him, but what are you doing, chasing men like a wild woman on the street?"

When Hua Hongxiao heard the word "wild woman", she blushed so much that she wanted to find a hole in the ground and get out of the ground. Wild woman, Hua Hongxiao, one of the most noble girls in the capital, even the princess gave up three points. How could she be a wild woman?
Mrs. Bai just wanted to beat her violently to make her understand the seriousness and stop doing stupid things: "Maybe I don't understand Mr. Suye. But I have lived decades longer than you as a mother. Men in this world have seen it before." Tou, Yingying, Yanyan, they each have their own love, but there is only one kind, a woman who takes the initiative to give back, and any kind of man will immediately sneer at her."

As expected, Hua Hongxiao's complexion was pale. She has always trusted her mother, Mrs. Bai. Since she was the housekeeper of Mrs. Bai, she has seen her mother enjoy her father's favor and favor for more than ten years. She has long admired her mother from the bottom of her heart. wrist.

"Daughter... I know I was wrong." Hua Hongxiao lowered her head.

Seeing her admitting her mistake, Mrs. Bai didn't keep saying that a slap requires firmness and softness, and a sweet date can continue to be effective.

"Miss the Kong family you met," Mrs. Bai said leisurely, watching Hua Hongxiao lower her head, "I have already inquired about the situation of their Kong family, she wants to fish on the shore now, jump more In a few days, you simply let her jump. Do you think that mother can't see that they are trying to get through the ladder of the rich and powerful? But our ladder is not easy for them to pass, even if they struggle to build something, it is the same. We can dismantle it with a flick of a finger. You have repeatedly met such a merchant woman, but do you raise the value of the other party, or belittle your own identity?"

This relentless beating was even more ruthless than before, Hua Hongxiao also knew that she had sent out an unknown anger today, but when she saw Kong Linglong, it was as if the bottom line had been washed away, and she couldn't hold it down at all. .

Madam Bai looked at her: "You behave well at the flower banquet, and I have my own way to deal with the Kong family."

-

When the customers who came to the store saw Zhuge Qingyun, quite a few of them would suddenly change their expressions, and then they would come forward and call them "Mr. Zhuge" in unison.

Zhuge Qingyun didn't talk too much, he was doing the work of the shopkeeper, and only led the guests to the side to look at the silk and satin.

Kong Linglong also saw some tricks, because she thought highly of the Kong family too much, even if Zhuge Qingyun was the shopkeeper here, the affairs of her Kong family would not affect him in the slightest.

In the final analysis, this is all a secret fight between the clans, and has nothing to do with the palace.The status in the palace is always detached.

Such a discovery made Kong Linglong half let go, half silent.

Especially after sunset that day, the silk and satin village closed its doors to thank the guests. The shopkeeper Zhuge, who always came and went on time, suddenly knocked on Kong Linglong's door in the private room with a name card.

He called him as usual: "Miss Kong, can I come in?"

Kong Linglong nodded almost immediately: "Sir, please, Yu'er, let's have some tea."

Yu'er immediately poured Zhuge Qingyun the brewed green tea, and carefully added two more leaves to prevent Zhuge Qingyun from getting used to drinking it.

I heard that the nobles in the palace like to drink strong tea.

Zhuge Qingyun handed over the post with both hands, and Kong Linglong immediately took it with both hands.

Then Zhuge Qingyun came into the topic: "It's like this. My next best friend is still working part-time in the palace. Occasionally, I can set up some lines for the palace and do some things. The most recent one is to hold a flower banquet in the palace. There are all of them, but it is inevitable that some people like novelty. This year, I will entrust my best friend to help find some fashionable things. Most of the flower banquets are female relatives, so they are all popular things that women love. Cloth and satin are one of them. Big item."

Kong Linglong understood, but still looked at Zhuge Qingyun seriously: "Did you recommend our shop, sir? Thank you sir for such a precious opportunity!"

Zhuge Qingyun still said slowly: "Miss Kong speaks too seriously, and I can't talk about recommending it. My close friend knows that I am now a shopkeeper and I am in the silk business, so he came to ask me for this favor. Naturally, I can't." No help, but the shop belongs to your property after all, Miss, so I still have to ask Miss for permission."

Yu'er was listening by the side, Mr. Zhuge's speech was smooth and steady, which was obviously a good thing, but he didn't show it at all.

He didn't reveal it, but Kong Linglong couldn't be confused. She straightened her face and said, "It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that no one else can ask for. Linglong would like to thank Mr. for the introduction."

Zhuge Qingyun waved his hand: "I said it, Ms. Kong doesn't have to be so serious. Even if this piece of silk satin is placed in the capital, it is difficult to find a better one. Ms. Kong's good management can be regarded as a solution to my dear friend's urgent need." .”

He was really born in the palace, so he gave favors to others without changing his face, and he said it so pleasantly.

Holding the greeting card, Kong Linglong solemnly paid Zhuge Qingyun a salute.

Zhuge Qingyun said: "I have brought the request of my best friend, so I will go back to my home first. The detailed request can be seen in the post by Ms. Kong."

Kong Linglong nodded and said, "Don't dare to disturb sir, sir please."

After Zhuge Qingyun left, Yu'er was speechless: "Miss, did you just bow to him?"

Kong Linglong looked at the greeting card, sat down slowly again, and replied to Yu'er: "I didn't suffer anything."

In terms of age and qualifications, Zhuge Qingyun deserves it.When it comes to identity, heh, nominally he is the shopkeeper and Kong Linglong is the head of the family, but in terms of actual influence, Kong Linglong would rather face the governor's mansion than provoke Zhuge Qingyun who has been in the palace for many years and has a deep background.

She opened the post, looked carefully at it several times, put it away again, and said to Yu'er: "From tomorrow onwards, we will mainly draw out our manpower to deal with this flower feast in the palace."

Such a ladder to heaven, why worry about letting it go.

In fact, the contribution of this old embroiderer cannot be denied. His embroidery skills saved the silk and satin. The story and legend of Kong Linglong may make the novelty popular for a while, and the quality of these silks and satins can be maintained on the level, completely crushing the peers. It is still the technique of this embroiderer.

The spirit of craftsman, the means of gods and ghosts.

That Xiang Fuling came back from Dr. Xu's house, and she was still a little dizzy until now. She actually diagnosed the pregnancy pulse on Xiuniang, the pregnancy pulse!Although it was just a suspicion, it had already moved Dr. Xu and Xiu Niang as if they had heard the great news.

Seeing the way they looked at her, Fu Ling could only wish to find Mr. Su Ye and learn from him.

I always thought that my medical skills in the department of gynecology had been monopolized, but I didn't expect that as soon as I came to the capital, I immediately found that there were people outside the mountains and mountains outside the mountains. Looking at the noble and noble Mr. Su Ye, he was actually so good at medicine, which made Fu Ling feel deeply There is no end to the path of medicine.

Now Fu Ling is also thinking about whether to tell Miss.

On Suye's side, she didn't really understand the woman's illness completely. She was even so clever that she could diagnose Xiuniang's illness without having an interview with her.He was because the person sent out to inquire had reported in detail the situation at Dr. Xu's house, and because he had met his mother.

Everyone in Suye's family is good at medicine, and everyone has their own income. Even if Suye has shortcomings that he cannot solve, he has someone to make up for him.

So Suye gave Xiuniang the medicine that she got from her mother, and it was obvious that the medicine was right for her symptoms, and everything went away.

Since Dr. Xu's family loyally supported the Kong family and took good care of Kong Linglong, the young master, everything they got was what they deserved.

This was Su Ye's cognition, and it was his reward for Kong Linglong.

When Fuling returned to the house, she received Kong Linglong's order to mobilize manpower, and she immediately took the lead to rush there. The matter of Dr. Xu and Xiuniang finally left her with the biggest concern. Frontiers.

This batch of silk and satin will be presented as the prize of the flower banquet to the noble ladies who participated that day. Being able to go to the flower banquet is not only because of the pattern, but also includes the entire aristocratic circle in the capital. After walking around, the name of the Kong family silk and satin village will become famous all over the world.

Yu'er was excited and couldn't help but said: "Sure enough, when we meet Mr. Su Ye, we will be riding the east wind."

Fu Ling sighed that her barren mind could think of such a fitting sentence.Yuer took it for granted, thinking that Zhuge Qingyun was introduced by Suye, and the opportunity of the flower feast was given by Zhuge Qingyun, so it should be taken for granted that this credit should not go to Suye?

Naturally, she didn't notice the gaze cast by her young lady when she was proud, so it is easy to get carried away if she is proud.

Yu'er realized that Kong Linglong stared at her a little differently when she waited for Kong Linglong to take a break at night, belatedly.

She tasted it carefully, and felt a chill on her back.

With a smile, he said: "Miss, what did this servant do wrong, please don't hesitate to point it out."

Kong Linglong didn't show any affection for her, and said quietly: "Have you forgotten what a sense of crisis is in what you said and what you did recently?"

Yu'er didn't dare to tell the difference, she had some idea in her heart, "It's...it's all because the servant can't control his mouth, the servant is wrong."

Kong Linglong looked at her: "I don't think you really know you're wrong."

Yu'er bowed her head guiltily.

Kong Linglong suddenly changed the topic: "Do you think Suye is easy to fool?"

Yu'er was startled, and couldn't help stammering: "Of course not." How can Mr. Suye be such a fool.

Kong Linglong's eyes were deep and deep: "Then how many times have you been in a wrong mood in front of him, do you think he can't see it?"

Speaking of Yu'er's over-acting in front of Suye, Kong Linglong refrained from saying anything, because she hoped that she would notice it herself.But it turns out that Yu'er may not be unaware, but she is deliberately creating a sense of intimacy for Su Ye.

This made Kong Linglong unable to let her go any longer.

Yu'er lowered her head lower and lower to confirm this guess, Kong Linglong still stared at her, even if she avoided it, it was useless: "You draw his attention and make him suspicious in the end, I ask you, is it right for you to do so?" Who benefits?"

Yu'er finally trembled, her voice was choked with real sobs: "Your maidservant knows it's wrong."

The answer is that it does no one any good.For Kong Linglong, he will only be waiting for endless troubles from her.As for Suye, the huge and profound background behind him, his powerful and unattainable family, if this secret is revealed, will it affect Suye alone?

Relying on her own emotional guidance, Yu'er keeps giving Suye hints. For a thoughtful person like Suye, if things really get out of hand, can she, Kong Linglong, take care of them?Did Yu'er think about these chain reactions and the terrible consequences when doing things?
Yu'er started to cry: "I'm sorry Miss, it's my servant who made a mistake. This servant swears that she will never behave differently in front of Mr. Suye from now on, nor will Mr. Suye see the clues again!"

Kong Linglong looked at her for a while, and saw the deep regret overflowing from her eyes, and then slowly said: "It's good that you can remember."
