[Red Chamber] When I became Grandma Liu
Chapter 12 The Rivalry between Liu Cui and Sister Feng
Sister Feng saw that this was completely different from the last time, and Grandma Liu felt very surprised.I never expected that Grandma Liu would change her face so quickly. Just now, she was talking about business with herself, and then she turned to discuss the future of Rongguo Mansion!
Just now he was begging for help, why is he so sharp and aggressive now?
But I have to say that Liu Cui's words hit Sister Feng's sore spot. Regardless of the past scenery of Rongguo Mansion, in fact there is only a puddle of mud inside.
Now, even the expenses of the mansion are almost out of supply, so they have to sit and eat, and have to spend another sum to build the useless relatives' garden.
It's just a swollen face to pretend to be fat!
Previously, the wife would expressly and imply all kinds of urging Sister Feng to release loan sharks! If Liu Cui hadn't come over, Wang Xifeng would have assigned the people under her to release loan sharks when the spring came!
But Sister Feng is Sister Feng at any rate, and she is naturally not the kind of coward who will soften her feet when she is frightened. Even if Liu Cui's words hit the nail on the head, she is not cowardly. She raised her head and replied: "Grandma, stop talking nonsense. How can you allow me to wait for my descendants to fall!"
Liu Cui just smiled and said nothing, looking like a master.
The unknown is very scary. If Liu Cui was still the same as before, Sister Feng would have sent someone to beat her out.But... here, Sister Feng is a little uncertain about Liu Cui's thoughts.
After all, there are some mysteries in this world. With the background of the Wang family and the Xue family, they know these secrets.
But Sister Feng is a shrewd person. Liu Cui's rouge is so fine that she has no worries about selling it in the capital where the rich and powerful gather, so the [-]% of the money is really attractive.
In the end, Sister Feng gritted her teeth and agreed to Liu Cui's request, and agreed to secretly support Liu Cui from the government of Rongguo, and the silver transaction was also carried out in private.
Because this matter is confidential, there is no such thing as a seal, only an oral agreement between the two parties, and the specific terms will be discussed later.
After Liu Cui finished her tea, she got up to say goodbye. When she came up, taking advantage of Ping'er's absence and no one around, she whispered in Sister Feng's ear: "Don't be kind to the people in the house with all your heart and soul. Think more about whether you are worth it or not. How much of the money you give to Gongzhong will be worth it. I know that Ping'er is your confidant. The most important sentence is, don't do wicked things, just treat it as it is for your future Your children are blessed!"
As she said that, Liu Cui deliberately glanced at Sister Feng's stomach.
Sister Feng's body stiffened, her eyes widened, she couldn't believe it, outsiders could never know about her miscarriage, whether this person did it on purpose or not?
Sister Feng looked up and down at the village grandma in front of her again, wondering the real identity of the person in front of her alone. Is this Grandma Liu?Who is she instigated by?
At this point in the conversation, Liu Cui had already exhausted all the words he had prepared in advance, so when would he wait if he didn't leave now?So Liu Cui babbled a few more polite words, and left in a hurry.
Only the master and servant were left looking at each other.
After a long time, Ping'er tentatively asked: "Second Grandma...this..."
Sister Feng rubbed her forehead with a headache and said, "Ping'er, you go out first and let me be quiet."
Ping'er promised to open the curtain and go out. As soon as she went out, she saw a few maidservants standing in the yard, so she hurriedly said: "Second Grandma is going to rest, you go far away, don't disturb Grandma's cleanliness."
The maids and women dispersed in response.
Ping'er went straight back to her room, she was sweating from the fright just now, and now she wanted to go back to touch up her makeup. Sitting in front of the vanity mirror, Ping'er's eyes fell on a delicate box involuntarily.
It was given to him by Grandma Liu secretly, but Ping'er accepted it like a ghost,
At this moment, Ping'er slowly opened the rouge box. There was only one box of rouge in it, but there were four compartments, which were the four-color rouge given to Sister Feng by Grandma Liu.
Which daughter does not love beauty?Which daughter doesn't love to be pretty?
Ping'er used this rouge to draw a gorgeous makeup, and looked carefully at the bronze mirror. The girl in the mirror had bright eyes and white teeth, youthful and beautiful, and it was the time when she was full of vitality. Looking at it, Ping'er's thoughts could not help but diverge. With my appearance, I don’t know who will be cheaper in the future~
I want to give birth to a few big fat boys, and when the time comes, the boy will follow his father, and the girl will follow me, how comfortable life will be~
Ping'er was intoxicated, when he suddenly heard someone outside the courtyard calling for Erye Lian's Ann, he immediately pulled Ping'er back from this boundless dream, Erye Lian...
Thinking of the look on Erye Lian when he saw him recently, even though Erye Lian has an extraordinary appearance and a noble background, Ping'er has no desire to seek wealth, so naturally he has no intentions of Erye Lian...
But the second wife... recently seems to have deliberately let the second master Lian accept her...
I... I shouldn't and I don't want to, but my second grandmother needs me to consolidate my position...
After a while, Ping'er seemed to come back to his senses, and hurriedly wiped off his makeup.
I'm a servant girl, so I don't deserve to wear such gorgeous makeup! What's the use of stealing the limelight from my master!
Thinking of this, Ping'er wiped his face even harder! The precious rouge was wiped off, but some invisible things fell into Ping'er's heart.
Ping'er was bought by her parents as a matchmaker as long as she could remember. With good luck, she entered the Wang's family and became a dowry maid for Sister Feng. To be precise, it is all tied to Sister Feng.
Ping'er was stunned by the scene described by Liu Cui just now, the Jia's house collapsed, for Ping'er, it was a scene that he couldn't even imagine, so he lost his composure.
"Pfft..." Ping'er laughed, secretly laughing at himself for being cowardly, walking a dead end, and being intimidated by a village woman, how could the Rongguo Mansion collapse?When the sky falls, there are still those old men who are holding it up.
It is estimated that this is a trick by Grandma Liu to get more benefits from Sister Feng.Ping'er comforted herself like this.
After a while, Ping'er put on another makeup, and hurried to Sister Feng's door to wait for orders.
.............................................
Liu Cui walked out of Sister Feng's yard in a flash, and followed a girl who knew her way out of the mansion through the corner gate.After turning east and west for a while, he was sure no one was following him, so he hired a sedan chair to go to the big restaurant opposite Yixuan Pavilion.
As soon as she landed, the staff greeted Liu Cui graciously, and led Liu Cui into a private room, where the dog Uncle Wu was waiting for her.
I have done an extremely beautiful event, and Liu Cui's solemn look in front of Sister Feng has long since disappeared. As soon as she entered the house, she couldn't wait to announce the good news to her capable general: "This Rongguo Mansion has promised us! Next All that's left is the pavement!"
Uncle Wu, the dog, had roughly figured out Liu Cui's temperament before, and at this time he also praised Liu Cui one after another, saying that Liu Cui will go out and succeed soon, and other flattering nonsense.
Immediately, there was joy in the private room.
After a while, the three of them began to plan the next step. While Liu Cui was convincing Sister Feng, Uncle Wu and the dog were not idle. The shop to be rented has been busy for a long time, and has traveled almost half of the capital city, and temporarily selected a few shop locations.
The three of Liu Cui ordered some dishes, and listened to Gouer describe the locations of these shops and their various advantages and disadvantages.
I have to say that although Gou'er has read books for several years and knows a lot of characters, the characters are too ugly, and Liu Cui has to pretend that she is "illiterate" in front of everyone. Fortunately, Gou'er has a good memory. So Liu Cui let the dog memorize it silently.
...............................
After listening to the description of the dog
Liu Cui frowned more and more tightly: "There are no good locations here, it's all remote places, our rouge is so expensive, but we just want to make money from the ladies, it's so remote, will they come to visit?"
Not to mention the Yixuan Pavilion on the opposite side, where every inch of land is expensive, but Liu Cui is confident in any prosperous road section, and she can revitalize it herself.
But this... the smell of wine is also afraid of deep alleys!
In such a remote location, marketing... in this era, can it be successful?
Liu Cui hesitated...
The dog yelled in a hurry: "My mother! This is the capital city, there is no shortage of dignitaries, no shortage of wealthy businessmen, good locations have already been occupied, even if you want to resell, there is no shortage of buyers, Although we have money here, we don’t have a good way to do it, and it’s really hard to find a good location!”
Liu Cui naturally knew this truth, but she just wanted to find a good shop. They are high-end rouge and gouache, and they lost their grade in a poor location.
Otherwise, go to Wang Xifeng again and ask her to help find a shop?Liu Cui was a little moved.
After all, she is also a shareholder, so she should contribute.But I just said a lot of frustrating words about Jia's mansion, and Sister Feng felt that she was going to die of anger. It was a bit inappropriate for me to go to her now, what if she took the opportunity to raise the price again?The money I have worked so hard to earn is not willing to throw it into the big pit of Rongguo Mansion for nothing.It's better to find it by yourself first, and I can't let Wang Xifeng look down on me!
When doing business in partnership, I am most afraid that the strengths of the two parties will not be equal. Sister Feng is so ruthless, if her side is a little weaker, it is inevitable that she will not change her mind and swallow herself up.This is also one of the reasons why I frightened her with mysteries...
To seek skin from a tiger, you need to be more cautious!
That's what I said, and the truth is the same, but Liu Cui still regrets it a little bit, she should take it easy, she is still too young!
Uncle Wu was thinking about the same as Liu Cui, and he was a little worried at the moment, but he was already thinking about which of the remaining shops would be better, and he planned to pick a general out of the short ones.
Therefore, Uncle Wu is not easy to speak at the moment, he just keeps mumbling, and the scene has reached a stalemate for a while.
Until the dishes were completely cold, the three of them didn't think of any good solution. Liu Cui sighed, clapped her hands, recalled the thoughts of the other two people, stood up and said: "We have just started to work, and difficulties are inevitable. Don't worry about it." Be discouraged, but don't be discouraged. Dog, we still have time today anyway, so let's go to those shops again and take a look, maybe there will be something suitable inside."
He smiled again: "The business of the shop is not in a hurry, maybe we will meet better ones in the future. Our Rouge is so good, it won't be buried. Work hard, when the time comes, everyone will be a big shareholder and become a big rich businessman. There are thousands of hectares, and there are groups of servants serving them, and the days are beautiful."
Gou'er and Wu Bo felt relieved when they heard the words, it was just right, and at the same time they were hooked by the bright future described by Liu Cui.
Uncle Wu is an old man after all, he laughed and scolded: "You and I are both people who are about to enter the earth, and you still think about these things! Let's get the matter in front of us right first! In my later years, I can develop such a wonderful rouge together with you. It's worth it."
After all, the three laughed together.
The three settled the bill, and taking advantage of the early weather, Gou'er took Liu Cui to see the suitable shop he had found for transfer.
As soon as the three of them left the room, the door of the next room opened, and a young boy rushed out quickly, as happy as a bird;
Another young master stayed inside quietly, and through the window, he could just see the back of Liu Cui and the three leaving.
The young man looked handsome, rubbed his fingers over the wine glass, and his slightly closed eyelids blocked all kinds of glimmers inside.
Rongguo Mansion...Rouge...
interesting……
The boy turned around and said to the old servant standing beside him, "Uncle Liu, help me find out what interesting things have happened in Beijing during this time."
The old servant promised and strode out.
The author has something to say:
Be careful that the wall has ears~
Just now he was begging for help, why is he so sharp and aggressive now?
But I have to say that Liu Cui's words hit Sister Feng's sore spot. Regardless of the past scenery of Rongguo Mansion, in fact there is only a puddle of mud inside.
Now, even the expenses of the mansion are almost out of supply, so they have to sit and eat, and have to spend another sum to build the useless relatives' garden.
It's just a swollen face to pretend to be fat!
