A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min
Chapter 175: Too good at doing business
Song Wanwan frowned and looked at Su Xiangling, "Who are you?"
Su Xiangling hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Miss Song may not recognize me. I come from the Su family of Pingninghou Mansion, and my maiden name is Xiangling."
Song Wanwan said oh and then asked, "Do we know each other?"
I felt a little bit dissatisfied with Su Xiangling's rudeness. How could anyone come up to talk to her so rashly?
Although she was the daughter of the Loyalty Marquis, Song Wanwan still behaved like a military commander. She spoke directly and never beat around the bush.
In the words of Mrs. Zhongyihou, she originally wanted to raise a delicate daughter. But if this continues, I'm afraid she will become a female general.
Su Xiangling was choked by her words, and she laughed twice and said, "I just don't want Miss Song to be deceived."
"If this matter spreads, it will also disgrace the Zhongyi Hou Mansion. I saw the truth that day with my own eyes, but I don't know whether to tell it or not."
After she finished speaking mysteriously, she glanced at Su Qingyu subconsciously.
What Song Wanwan dislikes the most is that these young ladies from aristocratic families never speak clearly. They can clearly speak clearly in one sentence, so it is best to follow them and ask questions instead of letting people guess.
Then he snorted coldly, "If you feel it's inappropriate to say it, then don't say it. I don't want to hear it anyway."
Su Xiangling:......
Isn't it said that the young ladies in Beijing have very complicated minds? Why is this young lady from the Song family still so straightforward?
"Miss Song, the clothes you are wearing are made of antique satin, right? The material was also bought at Su's house, right?"
"Actually, this material was damaged by my fourth sister before. I was afraid that you would be cheated by her, so I reminded you with good intentions." Su Xiangling made her purpose clear in just two sentences. She had to say it as Song Wanwan was about to leave.
Song Wanwan frowned and looked at Su Xiangling displeased, "Does this matter have anything to do with you? Isn't it too rude of you to come forward and tell me this?"
Su Qingyu smiled at Song Wanwan and explained, "My second sister just came back from Qianzhou. She doesn't understand many rules in Beijing. Don't be surprised, Miss Song."
Song Wanwan quickly said to Su Qingyu: "Third Madam, just call me Wanwan." She mentioned Su Xiangling again, "Let me just say that the tutoring of the young ladies of the Su family has always been good. Why is this second young lady of the Su family so different from us? There are so many, it seems that you haven’t learned the rules yet.”
Only then did Su Xiangling realize that the ladies from aristocratic families standing not far away seemed to be covering their mouths and snickering.
She was secretly upset, she was a Phoenix, these people were laughing at her now, but they would fawn over her in the future.
These days, she has imagined countless times what it would be like for her to step from the crown prince to the master of the harem. Entering the palace today and seeing the wealth and luxury of the inner palace strengthened her thoughts.
She is considered a serious official lady in Liping Mansion, and even the ladies from the rich and powerful families in the mansion have to give her three points. But in this palace, he became the most inconspicuous.
Su Xiangling felt indignant and eager to divert everyone's attention.
Su Shunci came over at this moment. Su Xiangling took two steps forward and pulled Su Shunci closer.
"Fourth sister, please tell me how you deceived Miss Song?"
Now that the words have been said, why not take this opportunity to completely embarrass Su Shunci. As long as Song Wanwan doesn't know that the material is bad, Su Shunci is deliberately deceiving her. Let's see how she can manage the shop in the future.
When Song Wanwan saw Su Shunci, her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Sister Aci, are you here? Come here quickly."
With that said, he took Su Shunci to his hand and said to the ladies beside him.
"This is the fourth young lady of the Su family. She is the one who supports the Su silk business now. Don't underestimate this girl because she is very good at business."
"Didn't you all ask me about this dress today? The material and style were all made by this little girl."
Su Shunci was a little embarrassed by Song Wanwan's praise, and she blessed all the ladies.
Song Wanwan rolled her eyes at Su Xiangling again, with a hint of arrogance in her tone.
"Of course I know what you're talking about. That day when sister A Ci came into the house, she specially explained to me that the material was damaged. In order to make amends, she even specially drew the style of my clothes."
"I heard that one of her cousins insisted on looking at my antique satin, and it was damaged while pulling it. Could it be you?"
Song Wanwan raised her chin slightly and looked at Su Xiangling, with the intention of supporting Su Shunci.
Su Xiangling was speechless for a moment, and secretly glared at Su Shunci. He hurriedly hid behind others, not daring to speak anymore.
Su Shunci glanced at Su Qingyu gratefully. If her eldest sister hadn't painted a picture for her, this matter wouldn't have gone so smoothly.
Su Qingyu was looking at Song Wanwan's clothes up and down. In her previous life, news of this appearance came to Beijing two years later, and it was very popular in Beijing at that time. She also sewed a set herself, so she remembered it clearly.
Over there, Song Wanwan was still praising Su Shunci, and several ladies from aristocratic families were asking Su Shunci about the material of her clothes.
Su Shunci was already well-behaved, and since she had been walking around outside for the past six months, she knew how to observe people's emotions when talking and doing things. After a while, many people became like her sisters.
Seeing this, Su Xiangling muttered disdainfully: "If you do business as a merchant in the palace, you won't be afraid of losing face to the Su family if word spreads about it."
The voice was not loud, but Su Qingyu heard it clearly.
Su Qingyu squinted at her sarcastically, "More than half of your daily food and clothing expenses are earned by your fourth sister. You don't feel ashamed of it, so what is there for her to be ashamed of?"
"It's her ability to do business in the palace. It's better than you, a free earner at home."
Su Xiangling was speechless due to the rebuke, and her eyes were filled with resentment.
Seeing that several people had made an appointment with Su Shunci to go to the shop to look at the materials, Shen Yue whispered to Su Qingyu, "Aunt San, your fourth sister is really good at business."
Su Qingyu also smiled and said: "This girl doesn't even like knitting, she just likes to have an abacus and look at the account books."
While they were joking, a palace maid came over and said that Concubine Rong was asking all the ladies to go to the waterside pavilion in the north to talk.
There are pavilions on all four sides of Ming Pond, the largest and most imposing one on the north. Now it is June, the lotus flowers are in full bloom, and the whole Ming Pond is gorgeous.
Although the sun was rising high at this time, the breeze was floating under the corridor beside the pool, and the remaining heat was blown away.
When Su Qingyu followed the others from the east corridor to the waterside pavilion, she saw many young men walking towards the west corridor. Only then did I realize that the Lotus Banquet differentiates between men and women.
No wonder so many people were looking towards the other side just now. She didn't take a closer look at that time and just thought they were meeting acquaintances.
Small tables and cushions had been placed on both sides of the pavilion. Everyone first paid their respects to Concubine Rong, and then were led to sit down by palace maids.
Su Qingyu glanced at Concubine Rong sitting in the main seat. She was elegant and looked to be in her twenties. In fact, His Royal Highness Cheng, the son of Concubine Rong, had already left the palace and established his own residence.
Concubine Rong exchanged a few words of greeting as usual, then said with a smile: "As in previous years, let's eat some lotus seed soup first to relieve the heat."
Immediately afterwards, a palace maid brought lotus seed soup.
Dozens of people were eating together, but there was no sound at all.
"Mrs. Shen San, sit down next to me and let's have a few words of appreciation."
Concubine Rong suddenly spoke and waved to Su Qingyu.
