[Red Chamber] When I became Grandma Liu
Chapter 11 The Rivalry Between Liu Cui and Sister Feng
The shopkeeper of Qunfang Pavilion got into the carriage angrily, and as soon as he got off the carriage at the door of his shop, a clever shop assistant rushed up to greet him, whispered a few words in his ear, shopkeeper Zhao's sullen expression instantly turned into panic, and he hurriedly lowered his head After tidying up his clothes, he went straight into the store, turned around and walked outside a luxurious room.
Shopkeeper Zhao took a deep breath, put on a flattering smile as if changing his face, and pushed open the door.
The master inside was admiring the arty calligraphy and paintings hung on the wall by Shopkeeper Zhao. Hearing the noise, he turned around slowly, and saw that Shopkeeper Zhao's expression became more respectful...
.......................................
As the saying goes here: "Schools farewell for three days, you should treat each other with admiration."Even though Wang Xifeng doesn't read books, he still knows this sentence.
But Wang Xifeng never expected that he would use this sentence on the old lady in the country in front of him.
You know, twenty silver is not too much, it is not small, but it can't buy the things that the old woman in front of her is wearing.
Moreover, looking at the demeanor of the whole body, his words and deeds are not at all like the cautious countryman before.Could it be... there is no adventure
Wang Xifeng, who usually snuggled up on the bed, picked up the tribute tea and blew a little, took a sip, and then asked with concern: "Is there something important for grandma when she comes back?"
I saw the grandma in front of me with a naive smile, and replied: "Back to the second grandma, since I came home in early winter, I have been blessed by my ancestors, and I have accumulated a lot of money by chance. This is the rouge from my workshop, the color is not bad, remembering the great kindness of the second grandma, I am here to dedicate it to grandma." He raised his arm and showed the box on his right hand , Ping'er took it with great winking and handed it to Wang Xifeng.
Wang Xifeng saw that there were four boxes of rouge neatly inside. The rosewood rouge box was very delicate, with various flowers and birds carved on it.
The crooked Liu character in the middle is the most eye-catching, but I don't know what font it is, so peculiar and attractive.
Wang Xifeng saw that the rouge box looked familiar, and then raised her eyes to look at the old lady. The old lady had already been arranged to sit on the side to rest, and she was drinking tea leisurely at this moment, looking full of confidence.
Wang Xifeng suspiciously opened the first cover, it was the previous spring warm sun rouge!
With Wang Xifeng's ingenuity, she noticed something in an instant, and then opened the second box, the third box, and the fourth box. They were all good rouges that were different from the first one but not inferior to the first one!
Sister Feng's heart immediately started beating violently, this is... this is the hottest Liu family rouge in the city!
Sister Feng deserved to be Sister Feng, and before Liu Cui could say a second word, Sister Feng had already smelled money keenly. With so much good rouge, she must be able to make a lot of money, right?
Could it be that it belongs to Grandma Liu's house? Or someone else wants to build their own bridge through Grandma Liu
However, Sister Feng didn't show her face, she put on the rouge cover slowly, and asked: "Rouge is good rouge, grandma has a heart."
Liu Cui imitated Grandma Liu with a simple and honest smile: "This is all thanks to Second Grandma, but today I still want to find Second Grandma to do business."
"Oh." Sister Feng slightly elongated her voice, "Grandma just talks."
"I'm planning to open a rouge shop in the city to sell my family's rouge exclusively, but I'm afraid I can't support the shop alone, so I want to find Second Grandma together, and we will split the bill."
Wang Xifeng's style of acting is changed to modern times, she is a proper strong woman, she is naturally courageous, although she can't figure out why Grandma Liu can develop such a rouge for a while, she is not a timid coward , when encountering such a situation, naturally he will not back down.
I saw Wang Xifeng put her fingers on the tea cover and rubbed it carefully, as if she was admiring the beautiful patterns on the cover, then she sat up straight suddenly and looked at Grandma Liu. A chilly momentum came.
Liu Cui looked a little nervous, but at least she kept her face steady, but she couldn't help sighing in her heart: "As expected of Sister Feng, this is the prestige of a tiger. In the past, I pretended to be a cat."
"Then what do you need me to do?"
Liu Cui stopped drinking tea, tensed her body, but pretended to be honest and said: "I want to ask Second Grandma to be a tiger, so that I can borrow Second Grandma's prestige."
"Why?"
"Firstly, there are many noble people in the capital. If my small rouge shop bumps into others, it will be easy to suffer without a backer. Second, my grandma is the second grandma of our Rongguo Mansion. Naturally, I know many noble people. If When you go out on weekdays, you can apply my family's rouge, it must be more elegant." The abacus beads in Liu Cui's heart were cracked.
Dare to treat me as a backer, plus yelling as a seller.
Wang Xifeng knew it in his heart.
"Four to six points." Wang Xifeng said loudly.
"No, no, no, we can't give away too much profit in this small business, at most half of it. No more." Liu Cui shook her head like a rattle.
"Really can't give up anymore?" Sister Feng will not give in easily, "Grandma needs to know that not everyone can get on the boat of Rongguo Mansion."
"Where is there?" Liu Cui yelled, and began to complain, "Forgive me, Second Mistress, I don't own this shop alone, and I have to deal with various chores on weekdays. If I let out more, the shop will not be able to continue."
"Besides, our rouge is selling so well, [-]% of it is dry stock, and it's all in grandma's pocket. You must not lose money to Second Grandma."
Wang Xifeng leaned back on the cushion, looked Liu Cui up and down,
"Let's do it." Wang Xifeng agreed,
"I have [-]% and you [-]%. You are responsible for opening the shop yourself. If you have any difficulties, just tell Zhou Rui's family and I will help you! But if you deceive me by deceiving me, you can inquire about my methods! "At the end of the day, Wang Xifeng didn't forget to beat Liu Cui.
Liu Cui continued to maintain the simple and honest smile of an old rural lady.
..........................................
"What is my method, Zhao Er, you have been with me for so many years, you don't know yet!"
Then with a "snap", the old man threw the bone china teacup in his hand to the ground, and it fell to pieces.
Shopkeeper Zhao was so sincere and frightened that he quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to admit his mistake!
"Master, please give me this chance. Within a month, I will be able to overwhelm that Yixuan Pavilion!" Shopkeeper Zhao randomly issued a military order, begging the old man to calm down.
The master slowly turned the thumb on his left thumb and said: "The matter of Yixuan Pavilion is not in a hurry. The Xue family is now living in Jia's mansion. If you don't give face to the Duke's mansion, you have to give it to the man in the palace." Bo Mian, there is no rush to deal with him in the future, this matter of Liu's workshop, please settle it for me as soon as possible."
Shopkeeper Zhao let out a long breath, "Thank you for your kindness, I will do my best." By the way, he also complained, "This Sima soup..."
"Don't worry, now this Sima family has a good hand in making rouge, don't offend him, just go and beat it, this little old man Sima Tang has been working on rouge these years, his head has been confused, and he has been fooled by the false reputation outside I really thought I was someone special, hum!" said the master disdainfully.
.............................................
However, at the negotiating table, even if you are in a weak position, you can’t just give in. On this side, Liu Cui, who looks very simple and honest, will start a showdown with Wang Xifeng: "For the love of Second Grandma, without the 20 taels of silver from Second Grandma, I will It won't be as beautiful as it is today, and I will definitely not let grandma suffer in the future, but there is still a little request, and I have to make it clear to the second grandma."
"tell me the story."
"My rouge shop, on the surface, can't have any relationship with the Rongguo Mansion. It's just that it's run by poor relatives, and it's all about taking care of one or two in secret." Liu Cui chased after the victory and threw out the last request.
"Why?" Wang Xifeng closed her eyes, puzzled.
How many people are eager to catch up with the rich and powerful, so that they can soar into the sky.It's a good thing for this one, he gave up so much, but he refuses to come to the surface.
"I don't know how many years I have lived. I also lived in the capital when I was young. I don't know how much I have experienced and seen. How many rich and noble families who had power for a while disappeared in an instant, and there were eggs under the overturned nest. When the water is full, it overflows, how can there be anything that lasts forever in this world?" Liu Cui's voice became lower and lower, with a mysterious look.
Wang Xifeng was staring at the movement of her long nails. Is this implying something?
Just about to open his mouth to play Tai Chi with this old woman.But I saw this old woman approaching me fiercely!
When Sister Feng was startled, she wanted to reprimand her!
It's because Liu Cui was possessed by the drama while talking, and taking advantage of the fact that there were only Wang Xifeng and Heping'er in the house, Liu Cui had an idea and wanted to take the opportunity to add fire and ring Sister Feng's alarm! Liu Cui is also a Straightforward people, act as soon as you think this is feasible.
Just do it,
Combine punches!
Liu Cui stood up abruptly, moved closer to Sister Feng, held Sister Feng's arm tightly, with a secretive expression, as if she was possessed by some unclean place, and said in a low voice eagerly: "Second Mistress is now the housekeeper, and she must know more about the house than I do. .
We are now in such a huge Rongguo Mansion that there is not even a man who can stand in the hall and talk. The temper of the men below must be known to the Second Mistress. Which one is not a mischievous concubine in the main palace? What's the use if you can't support and support, and you can't stand at the root?Besides, the Sacred Heart is unpredictable, how long will the honor and favor obtained by men last? "
First, Wang Xifeng was startled by Grandma Liu's sudden approach. In a fit of rage, she yelled "Bold!" dizzy.
Qi and blood surged up, and he wanted to wave Liu Cui away, but Liu Cui quickly retreated after speaking, and fell on the chair he was sitting on just now.
Sister Feng rushed to nothing, and fell heavily on the collapsed floor!
The movement was so loud that even the maid who waited outside the house heard the noise!
After a burst of chaotic footsteps, about four or five people came outside the house, and a few more people walked outside the curtain.
But because of Sister Feng's previous orders, and Sister Feng's prestige on weekdays, the maids did not dare to force their way in, but asked outside through the curtain, preparing to rush in as soon as Sister Feng made a sound!
Ping'er, who was standing by the side, was dripping with cold sweat, and stood there in a daze.
After a long time, Liu Cui stood up slowly, and apologized blankly: "I'm old, my mind is confused, I was a little sleepy just now, I don't know what nonsense I was talking about, I hope grandma will forgive me."
After saying those words, he returned to his original position, as if the words that made Sister Feng angry just now were not what Liu Cui said.
Fortunately, Sister Feng is worthy of being Sister Feng. She is a first-class character, first-class courage, and naturally has first-class insight.But in this era when women are extremely restrained, they are by no means inferior to men.How can such a person be intimidated by Liu Cui with a word or two.
Liu Cui just took the word "Qiao", so she set up a suspicious formation, and took advantage of the vacancy when Sister Feng was overjoyed and lost her mind.
Calling "Second Grandma" outside repeatedly changed Sister Feng's thoughts, and Sister Feng replied to the outside that she was fine, and perfunctorily let them go away, and pulled Ping'er again, signaling Ping'er to go out and watch.
At this time, Liu Cui felt secretly refreshed, but forcibly suppressed her complacency with a sullen face. She didn't understand the matter yet, so she couldn't forcibly miss the bottom line.
Finally, I understand the mood of the business negotiations of the bosses.
Liu Cui got into the mood, and at this time, she pretended to be profound and refilled a glass of Longjing by herself, pretending to savor it carefully, leaving enough time for Sister Feng to react.
In terms of intelligence, Liu Cui is far inferior to Sister Feng, and in terms of ability and skill, she is even worse.
How
Liu Cui is a woman who holds the script in her hand, plus the experience bonus of Uncle Wu, an old Jianghu, so when Sister Feng loses her mind, she is able to ask questions to the soul, vowing to plant a seed of doubt!
Let's see how Sister Feng reacts!
The author has something to say:
Readers may feel that these dialogues are procrastinating, but I try to write as vividly and interestingly as possible (than fingers).
Sister Feng, including everyone in the Jia family, has a very obvious ostrich mentality, thinking that if you don't face it, there will be no existence. For this mentality, it is useless not to use strong medicine. (sound)
By the way... has anyone read the article... no one has said anything, are everyone fattening up...
Shopkeeper Zhao took a deep breath, put on a flattering smile as if changing his face, and pushed open the door.
The master inside was admiring the arty calligraphy and paintings hung on the wall by Shopkeeper Zhao. Hearing the noise, he turned around slowly, and saw that Shopkeeper Zhao's expression became more respectful...
