[Qing Chuan] Yongzheng's embarrassing empress

The performance on the stage was lively and lively, but the female relatives watching the play were silent.

Halfway through the play, there was a break in the middle.

Sanfujin frowned and asked Shuwan, "Who arranged this play?"

Shuwan hurriedly threw the pot away, "It was arranged by the fifth sibling!"

Shuwan: I'm sorry fifth sibling, I'm such a villain who loves to blame me!

Wu Fujin thought that Shuwan wanted her to show off!She smiled gratefully at Shuwan.

Shuwan: ... Please don't laugh, my conscience hurts a little.

Sanfujin clapped his palms and said with a smile, "I didn't expect the fifth sibling to have such abilities, this play is well rehearsed!"

Wu Fujin:? !

Shuwan: ...

San Fujin smiled and said: "There are not many scenes where women disguise themselves as men, but this one is very good. The woman disguises herself as a man to gain fame, and many men admire her talent. Although I haven't seen the end yet, but it's pretty good so far." gone."

Someone echoed: "San Fujin and I have the same idea. I have seen enough of the dramas of talented men and beautiful women in the past. It must be a down-and-out scholar who is attracted by the beauty of a lady. This is better. Men are attracted by admiring a woman's talent." Who said we women are inferior to men!"

"That's right! We women should be as talented and decisive as the ones in the play, but we shouldn't be like Jiangnan women who are pretentious and only know how to please men."

As soon as this remark came out, many people echoed it.It seems that the mistresses of these rich families have been angered by concubines more or less.

The female relatives who came to the banquet today were all grown up pampered at home, with arrogance in their hearts, and most of them can't be low in front of their husbands.

Concubines entrust their whole lives to their husbands, so of course they should carefully consider their husband's preferences and try their best to please him.

As the head of the family, men naturally prefer to serve their concubines wholeheartedly.

Wu Fujin's rehearsals were all advertisement placements, so they may not be very good, but the plots she rehearsed just hit the itching spots of the ladies, so they were liked by everyone.If it is shown to men, it may not have such an effect.

Everyone's praise made Wu Fujin blush, "Everyone is serious, this is all Sisao's idea."

Shuwan didn't dare to take the credit, she waved her hands again and again, "I said a few words casually, the specific things are all done by my fifth sibling, it has nothing to do with me."

Everyone flattered them graciously, praised their sister-in-law for their good relationship, and pushed each other to show their faces, which is really humble.

Sanfujin pursed her lips and smiled lightly, feeling a little regretful in her heart.In the early years, they shouldn't have offended the fourth and fifth siblings, but looking at them coldly now, they are the two of the best characters.Much better than the eighth younger siblings, she has a sweet mouth and a dark heart.

It's a pity that it's too late to regret it, she has already offended her, and she doesn't want to get along with Fujin anymore, so it's enough for everyone to maintain a good face when they meet in the future.

The rest time is over, and the play continues to sing. Of course, the ending is happy for all, and the lovers will finally get married.

Everyone was satisfied, Shuwan ordered people to serve food and wine.

Xia'er changed into bright clothes and stood in front to show the products in the shop to the female relatives.

Shuwan divides products into two categories, one is high-end lines and the other is low-end lines.

Both types of products have a series name, and Shuwan named it Rose Lady.

This series of products are all rose-flavored, including lipstick, screwworm, rouge, water powder, tooth powder for cleaning, powder for washing hair, powder for washing hair, and rose water and cream for skin care.

When Xia'er introduced the products, the female relatives present listened to each other, not very moved, they talked about those things, and it's not like they don't have them at home.

After Xia'er finished introducing, Chun'er came to the stage, and she randomly chose a maid to come up and apply makeup on her with the products in the shop.

During makeup, Chuner showed everyone her makeup techniques and explained carefully.

In her hands, she was obviously just a little girl with a middle-of-the-road appearance, but she was dressed up as a little beauty.

The female relatives present couldn't eat raw food, and they were very excited when they saw the little maid who had changed into a different person.

What else is there to say!Of course such a good thing should be bought!

Everyone grabbed Shuwan and Wu Fujin, clamoring to buy their products.

Sanfujin was the shrewdest, she grabbed Shuwan tightly, took her hand and said in a low voice: "You make a deal! I want that maid!"

Shuwan gave Sanfujin a thumbs up, "As expected of the third sister-in-law, she immediately fell in love with the best one. It's a pity that the servant girl can't give it to you. The servant girl gave it to you. What should I do?"

Sanfujin sighed, she just didn't give up and wanted to give it a try.Sure enough, who would be willing to change such a skillful maid!

Sanfujin looked at Shuwan sideways, "No wonder the younger brother and sister have always been liked by Sibei Le, so there is such a skillful maid to help out!"

Shuwan looked around, she turned around and laughed and cursed: "You are still sister-in-law, there are so many people, what are you doing!"

Sanfujin smiled and waved his hands, "Forget it, I'm not joking with you. Give me a copy of everything you have here, and let the maids think about it when I go home. I don't believe it anymore, it's about painting eyebrows and eyes." , you can figure it out, can't I?"

Shuwan was very generous, "You still need to ask? Things have been prepared long ago, you come to praise me, how can I let you go back empty-handed?"

On the other side, Wu Fujin was also appeasing everyone. She ordered the maids to take out their things, and each of them had a gift box.

Among them, San Fujin has the highest status, so the things in her gift box are the most complete.

After the banquet, Shuwan and Wu Fujin sent the guests away.They were not in a hurry to go home, but first calculated the cost of the opening ceremony.

The court ladies and maids helped with the calculations, and Wu Fujin fiddled with the abacus, feeling a little uneasy.

"Oh, I didn't make money when I opened the business, but spent a lot of money instead. Looking at the gift box sent out, my heart is bleeding."

Shuwan's heart is not at ease. The investment in opening a store is huge, and she doesn't know when she will be able to pay back.There were quite a lot of people who came to give gifts, and the gifts were precious enough, but unfortunately, all the gifts were jewels and jade ornaments, not cash, so there was no way to take them out for turnover.

Both she and Wu Fujin are people of status, and they definitely can't do the thing of pawning gifts out.

Shuwan sighed, this damn idol burden!

Shuwan was also flustered with worry, but she still forced herself to comfort Wu Fujin with a smile.

"This is a necessary investment in the early stage of the business, and the gift box is also for everyone to try our products. After all, we are Belle Fujin, with a noble status, and we will make people laugh if we care too much about those petty profits."

Shuwan leaned close to Wu Fujin's ear and whispered: "Don't worry, all the rouge and gouache I sent are small portions, the packaging looks big, but in fact the things inside are small and exquisite, and they will disappear after a few uses.

Besides, I only gave one set to each person, so it is impossible that there is only one female relative in the big family!For example, when a mother comes to a banquet and gets a set of rouge, she must spend money to buy a set for her daughters too!Don't let the children watch helplessly! "

Wu Fujin laughed, "Hey hey!"

She felt that her laughter was too treacherous, so she quickly covered her mouth.

She gave Shuwan a thumbs up, and the two of them winked at each other and laughed sullenly.

Back home after a busy day, the fourth elder brother saw Shuwan glaring at her.

The fourth elder brother thought to himself: It's amazing, Shuwan, who is a Fujin, is busier than him, who is Baylor!

Kang Bao and Xiao Bao are also in the main room, Xiao Bao is rolling around on the couch, Kang Bao and the fourth elder brother are playing chess together.

Seeing Erniang coming back, Kang Bao threw herself into Shuwan's arms like a little swallow.

"Er Niang, I miss you so much!" Amma dragged him to play chess, it was disgusting, he didn't like to play this!

Shuwan hugged her son and rubbed it twice, while the fourth elder brother glared at Kang Bao with a sullen face.

"Kambo!"

Kang Bao pursed his mouth, quickly pushed away from Shuwan's arms, and saluted Shuwan squarely.

"Greetings to Er Niang, is Er Niang going well today?"

Shuwan glared at the fourth elder brother, why is this person so cruel to the child!

She lowered her head and smiled at Kang Bao: "Everything is going well for Er Niang today, Kang Bao learned etiquette really well."

The fourth elder brother asked the nannies to take the children back to rest, and Shuwan complained while changing clothes, "You are too serious, Kang Bao is still young, why are you being so fierce to him? He is in his own house, and the etiquette is almost out of order." It's all right."

The fourth elder brother plucked a bead flower from her head and held it in his hands, "You didn't refute me just now, why are you bothering me now?"

"Educating children is most afraid of division. You taught Kang Bao etiquette for the good of the children. There is nothing wrong with it. Although I disagree, I can't refute you, otherwise the children will think that your words are not quite right. If there are differences, we can discuss them privately. Say it, but not in front of the child."

The fourth elder brother nodded, "That makes sense."

He thought to himself: From now on, Fujin will take care of the children, so he shouldn't interrupt casually.

The fourth elder brother threw the pearl flower into the jewelry box. He said with a smile: "You guys have a big fight today. I heard that there is fairy music in your shop. Later, the gongs and drums are so loud that it is very lively. I want to go and see it." gone."

Shuwan smiled triumphantly: "If you want to see it, I won't take you! We are all female relatives, why are you here!"

The fourth elder brother leaned on the chair to watch Shuwan remove her makeup, "I heard that you have prepared gifts for every guest? Your store has just opened, and you haven't made any money yet. You spent a lot of money first. How can you do this?" For business?"

Shuwan is feeling uneasy about spending money!She was also afraid that the money invested would not be able to return to the original, and now that the fourth elder brother was poking her heart, she was immediately annoyed.

"Who wants you to care! I just want to be so generous!"

The fourth elder brother didn't expect Shuwan to make money, and he didn't expect Shuwan and Wu Fujin to do business.Anyway, Shuwan used her own dowry money, and he had no right to interfere.

"When you lose money, don't cry to me."

Shuwan was extremely disturbed in her heart, but her mouth was very strong.

"Who wants to cry for you! I am rich and powerful, and I can't hurt my muscles or move my bones by sending such a little thing. I will not only send it today, but I will also send it in the future! When I enter the palace in a few days, I will take my rouge powder and give it to the palace. Send it to the Queen Mother and Crown Princess!"

The fourth elder brother shook his head and sighed: "Just be stubborn! There will be a day when you cry!"

Shuwan rolled her eyes at him, this man is really annoying!

After a few days to the fifteenth day, both Shuwan and Wu Fujin went to the palace to pay their respects to the Queen Mother and the ladies.

Shuwan brought several gift boxes into the palace, and it was the same with Wu Fujin.

Arriving at Defei's palace, Shuwan took out the gift box and handed it to the maid next to Defei.

"This is to honor Er Niang, and there are three more copies for the fifth, eighth and tenth younger sisters."

The palace maid opened the box to show Concubine De, the box was covered with soft satin, and on it were all kinds of dark red porcelain vases with flowers and birds.The palace maid opened the jar, and used the golden spoon in the box to pick out a little bit of rouge powder and showed it to Concubine De, it was really delicate and light.

Concubine De liked it, she nodded slowly, "Well, the things are pretty good, similar to those brought in from the palace."

Shuwan smiled and said, "It's as long as Er Niang likes it. Your gift box is specially customized, and the porcelain bottle and gold spoon inside are all unique."

Facing Shuwan's filial piety, Concubine De didn't have much joy on her face.

"Why do you want to start a business all of a sudden? Could it be that the fourth elder brother can't afford to eat and drink for you? You don't feel ashamed to compete with the people for profit."

Shuwan had expected Concubine De's reaction a long time ago, so she hurriedly produced her prepared speech.

"The daughter-in-law does not do business to make money. When she opened the business a few days ago, she gave out many gifts. Although the guests followed suit, I also returned the gifts one by one. The daughter-in-law entertained them with good wine and tea. Before leaving Nor did they let them go empty-handed.

Speaking of it, the daughter-in-law wants to do business because of Lord Belle.You also know that Lord Belle is not sociable. He is indifferent to fame and fortune. When he returns home, he either teaches Kang Bao to read and write, or learns about Buddhism.Since elder brother doesn't like socializing, then the daughter-in-law will do it well.

The daughter-in-law opened this makeup shop, socializing with Mrs. Fujin who came to shop, is also a help to Lord Belle.For nothing else, the news will be better in the future, right? "

Concubine De lowered her eyes unmoved, Shuwan thought for a while and added.

"This... all business is done with the daughter-in-law's dowry money, not for anything else but to make friends."

Hearing that Shuwan didn't spend her son's money, Concubine De let go.

"Well, you're a good boy. I've always known it. It's hard for you. You still miss me and your sisters."

Shuwan smiled and said: "Look at what you said, Erniang and younger sister are the closest people to Lord Belle. If I don't miss you, who else can I miss?"

Shuwan pointed to the things given to the three princesses and said: "The things for the younger sisters are all pink porcelain bottles. The lip gloss inside is also light pink, and it is as delicate as peach petals on the lips. How about asking the younger sister Let's try it!"

Concubine De waved her hand, "The Empress Dowager has not been feeling well for the past two days, and your younger sisters are serving the sick in Ningshou Palace!"

Shuwan hurriedly said: "How could this happen! Then I will go to serve the sick too!"

Concubine De stopped her from going, "Why are you in a hurry, and it's not your turn! The Empress Dowager just caught a cold, just lie quietly for two days and it will be fine."

Sitting sick is an excellent job for the people in the palace. If you stay with them for a few days to relieve boredom, you can gain the favor of the elders.

It's a pity that there are too many filial sons and virtuous grandchildren, such a good opportunity is hard to grab.

Concubine De said to Shuwan: "If you have the heart, just kowtow at the gate of Ningshou Palace. I know you have something good to give to the Crown Princess. After kowtowing, you can go to Yuqing Palace! Don't come to me gone."

Shuwan bid farewell to Concubine De, and went to Ningshou Palace first. The maid stopped Shuwan, saying that the Queen Mother wanted to be quiet for two days and did not want others to disturb her.

Shuwan left the gift behind, kowtowed at the door and left.

When they arrived at Yuqing Palace, the Crown Princess learned that Shuwan was asking to see her, so she quickly ordered someone to invite her in.

Shuwan entered the room with a smile, and saw that the corners of the mouths of the people in the room froze.

Shuwan quickly put on a smile again, "What a coincidence! It turns out that the eighth sibling is also there."

It's a bit embarrassing, Fujin didn't accompany her, and she didn't prepare a gift for Fujin.

Bafujin was very well informed. She saw what Xia Er touched in her hand, combined with the recent news, there was still something she didn't understand.

She said with a smile: "But I think it's just a coincidence that I came here, just in time for the fourth sister-in-law to come to give gifts."

Shuwan smiled and said, "Since you know that you are an eyesore, why don't you leave here quickly? Don't bother me to bribe the princess!"

Shuwan took the box from Xia'er, and she held the box and walked forward to salute with a smile.

"Please take a look at the crown princess, this is a gift I prepared, and I hope the crown princess will accept it with a smile."

The princess personally took the box over, she pointed at Shuwan and Bafujin and said with a smile: "You guys! You are used to joking!"

During the past few years of living in the palace, Bafujin has improved a lot, and he is able to show his emotions and anger.

Even if Shuwan pissed her off, even if the princess was making love in the middle, she still smiled happily.

Ba Fujin said: "Everyone gathers to talk and laugh to make it lively!"

The princess gave the box to the maid to put it away, and ordered someone to make tea for Shuwan.

Bafujin smiled and said to the princess: "Won't the princess open the box to have a look? I heard that the fourth sister-in-law opened a rouge shop outside the palace. I think it's the stuff in the shop. The princess wants me to open my eyes too." !"

The crown princess glanced at Shuwan, the request from Bafujin was not too much, she was not easy to refuse.

Shuwan took a sip of her tea, put down the teacup and said, "Let's show the princess to her! Let the brothers and sisters be envious!"

Bafujin laughed and said, "What good thing is worth my eyes? I have to see it clearly today!"

The crown princess nodded, and the maid hurriedly opened the box.

Then use the small golden spoon that comes in the box to pick out a little powder and show it to the crown princess and Ba Fujin.

The princess asked the maid to pour the powder into her palm, she wiped it away and smelled it, then nodded with satisfaction.

"It's really good, not worse than the ones in the palace."

Ba Fujin rolled her eyes, and she said with a smile: "Speaking carefully, the fourth sister-in-law can play, how did you think of opening a rouge shop? The things are well made! I heard that the fourth sister-in-law gave a lot of gifts on the opening day , it must have cost a lot of money, right? I don’t know how much I’ve earned in the past few days?”

"Hey, everything is difficult at the beginning, how can there be any gains now? But it's just barely sustaining!"

What Shuwan said was not a lie, the prices of the things in her shop were really high, ordinary people couldn't afford them, and wealthy families who could afford them had their own fixed shopping shops.

Ba Fujin sighed, and she put on a look of concern for Shuwan.

"Sister-in-law Si, there is a saying, I do it for Sister-in-law's own good, but I don't know if I should say it or not..."

Shuwan smiled and said: "When you hesitated to speak, you knew in your heart that what you said might not be appropriate. So, the eighth brother and sister should not speak."

Bafujin was stunned and choked up in anger.The princess looked at the lip glosses of various colors in the box very seriously, without raising her eyes.

Ba Fujin looked disappointed, "It's just the sisters-in-law sitting together and chatting, and the fourth sister-in-law seems to be annoyed by what she said. I just think it's not easy for men to be outside. It's not good for the fourth sister-in-law to be so lavish."

Shuwan held the gaiwan, skimmed off the froth on the tea with the lid, and blew gently.

She really doesn't understand why some people always hit her with a gun, and they don't have a long memory after learning the lesson.

"The eighth brother and sister's words are also reasonable! Oh! I have also seriously reflected on myself. Is it not good for me to spend money like this?"

The princess smiled to smooth things over, "Your shop has just opened, and you also said that everything is difficult at the beginning, and the business will definitely get better and better in the future."

The princess said to Bafujin again: "Let's leave her alone and let Sibeile worry about it!"

Shuwan smiled and said: "Our Lord Baylor is not worried at all, he just loves to spend money for me. He, never! He doesn't use my dowry, and always asks if I have enough money to spend, and if he doesn't have enough money, he will go to the accountant to pay money!"

Shuwan emphasized on the dowry. Everyone can guess that the eighth elder brother has not been separated from the mansion. What kind of money can he have in his hand? If the birthday gift for the queen mother is not the dowry money of the eight blessings, where else can it come from?

Ba Fujin's hands were clenched into fists in his sleeves.

The princess pretended not to hear, she thought to herself, she deserves to be Sifu Jin, she is really eloquent.

Shuwan hasn't finished yet!She has even more ruthless waiting for Fujin!

"Well, what the eighth brother and sister said is very reasonable. It's right to live frugally. After all, you don't have children yet, and if you have a child, the expenses will be high. The eighth brother and sister really need to save some money in advance."

Shuwan licked her hair on her temples, "I also worry sometimes. My money has been spent, what should I do if my child has nothing to spend? The eighth brother and sister don't have such troubles anymore. You and the eighth elder brother still have a few years left What a relaxing day!"

Hearing the topic of children, Ba Fujin couldn't bear it anymore, her face was livid, and she stood up abruptly.

Shuwan was surprised and said: "Yo, what's wrong with my brother and sister? Aren't we gossiping? I think you seem annoyed."

The princess thought in her heart: Qifujin, who entered the palace with Bafujin, is about to give birth. Bafujin's stomach has not moved yet, and the child is her reverse scale. If you say that, you are pointing at the monk and scolding the bald donkey, of course she will be annoyed .

Bafujin glared at Shuwan viciously, and she bowed to the princess, "I'm not feeling well, so I'm taking my leave first."

After speaking, he shook the handkerchief and left.

When the people left, the Crown Princess pointed at Shuwan and shook her head, sighing: "You! This mouth will never forgive anyone!"

Shuwan said nonchalantly: "Why do you want to forgive? I was born with a clever mouth, and I just want to use it to talk! She was the one who picked things up first, and I'm not her mother, so why spoil her!"

The Crown Princess sighed, "The Eight Fortunes are deep in Jincheng and have a lot of scheming, I'm afraid she will trip you up in the future."

"Let her go! If I am weak and shrink back this time, she will definitely go too far next time. It's better to teach her a lesson first, so that I can feel refreshed."

The Crown Princess nodded, which made sense.

Shuwan: "Actually, I'm already enough to let her go. The princess should know! She didn't give me a follower when I opened the business, so I didn't give her a gift box either."

The princess smiled and said: "So that's the case, I still said it! Why didn't she have a gift box? I was very embarrassed when I received the gift just now."

Shuwan smiled and said: "She doesn't give gifts, why should I give them to her? I should have said that just now, the eighth younger siblings are too stingy. You love money so much that you don't even want to follow it, it's too frugal. Now you If you follow me, I will definitely give you a double gift when you have a child in the future! Hurry up and have a child! Otherwise, I don’t even know how to give the gift!”

Shuwan: Let your mouth be cheap, and I will use the topic of having a baby to pierce your heart in the future!
