Chapter 184 Xiu Niang
"That's what the female shopkeeper said. Those who went to her shop to buy rouge and water powder were either the ladies and ladies from high-ranking families, or the maids around the ladies and ladies. I could see clearly that those ladies came, not only had tea, but also gave them snacks. I heard that the snacks were from the top scholar building."
Ah Liu also has a local accent, but she is very neat, so it is no wonder that Zhu Yanchun's female shopkeeper likes her.
Mrs. Zhang widened her eyes and slapped her hands and said, "Listen, it's amazing. Even selling things in this new capital is different from other places. In our hometown, we are peddlers carrying a load of rogue and water powder to travel from village to village. When we arrive in Xinjing, we can not only open a shop on Huichang Street, but also have some snacks to eat when buying something. The snacks in Zhuangyuan Building are so expensive!"
Ah Liu was recognized and didn't stay in snacks, but she didn't say nonsense. It was different in the new capital, selling things and buying things are different.
Only Yan Xuejiao disagreed. A group of rural bullies had never seen the world. In the past, in the old Beijing, not only were the powder shops, but also the silk shops, silver houses, tailor shops, and all of them were like this.
What is snacks and tea? Once she and Yan Xuehuai went to the old Beijing, and Li Qiniang took them to sew clothes. The owner of the shop specially hired five or six young girls as clothes. Li Qiniang also gave each of them a liang of silver. I heard that any customers who are not very stingy would give rewards. Those girls had no monthly routines, and they could earn more than ten taels a month by just rewarding them.
When Yan Xuejiao thought of silver, Ah Liu said that silver: "The female shopkeeper said that her boss wanted to set up a Zhuyan Club. The front counter was so chaotic. In the future, the daughters of the daughters came over and took them all to the Zhuyan Club. Everyone appreciated paintings and talked about poetry, and bought what they wanted. They just gave the money to the girls of the Zhuyan Club, and they didn't have to take it to the front counter. That's great, right, how good."
As for why she handed over the money to the girl from Zhuyanshe instead of taking it to the counter, Ah Liu didn't know, but she just thought it must be very good.
Ah Liu thought this way, Ah Tao and Zhang Pozi also thought this way. The two of them agreed to be good, that's good, the business is done very well.
Yan Xuejiao's heart moved. She knew why, because the girls in Zhuyan Club had a share of their income, and they must have a very high share of their income.
She asked quickly: "The one you said before was the girl from Zhuyanshe who was talking and chatting with the daughters?"
"Yes, all the girls in Zhuyan Society have read books. If they are rough people like our sisters, they have nothing to talk to with their daughters and ladies, and we can't understand what they say. Alas, if I could be as knowledgeable as a big girl, I would be able to read and write."
Ah Liu sighed, feeling very aggrieved. If she had read a book, she wouldn't have to put on the soles of her shoes.
"The girls in Zhuyan Society must have made a lot of money."
Yan Xuejiao rolled her eyes in her heart. The unsightly country girl had such shallow eyelids. What was that little money? The most important thing was to have the opportunity to meet these wives and ladies from high-ranking families.
It was because my elder brother met Ye Sheng that he could come to Shuren Academy to study.
When they first arrived in Xinjing, their father and second uncle and third uncle went out for social engagements all day just to make friends with the powerful people in Xinjing. Unfortunately, they were not lucky and could not make friends with the real powerful people.
Isn’t it the same meaning to make friends with the powerful and wealthy family members?
When the second uncle wanted to marry Yan Xuehuai to Ye Sheng, he just wanted to use Yan Xuehuai's charm to blow the wind beside Ye Sheng and support him?
Therefore, don’t underestimate the female relatives in the back house. If you can use these wives and ladies to show your face to those old imperial edicts and old Fengjun, you will be worried that you will not be able to say a good marriage?
If she can marry into a wealthy family and become a young grandmother, then she...
Yan Xue was distracted.
But at this moment, Mrs. Zhang said, "Oh, it's time to cook. If the girl dislikes her, just have a meal at my house."
Yan Xuejiao looked at Zhang's black and thick hands, and she really had no appetite, so she said, "Then I won't bother you, I should go home."
As she said that, she stood up and said goodbye. Zhang Ma Zi wanted to keep her. Ah Liu grabbed her: "Auntie, such a precious girl, she can't eat simple food. When we sisters go to hand over the soles of the shoe, exchange money, and go to the Zhuangyuan Building to buy some snacks. You can treat the girl well."
Mrs. Zhang repeatedly said, "I'm really confused, so I won't leave the big girl. If the big girl has time, come to my house to sit down. You are here, our broken straw shed is also like lime."
"That's called "Pengxiang Shenghui!" Yan Xuejiao couldn't help but say, but the original contempt disappeared.
Mrs. Zhang watched Yan Xuejiao leave, closed the door, and opened the door of another room.
A woman walked out of it, and Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, "Madam Xiu, you heard it just now. The three of us were not lazy. We were all using all our skills."
The young woman called the Show Lady smiled and nodded, saying, "She will definitely ask someone to inquire. I think the latest one is the day after tomorrow. She will come to you. Three more people will work hard for the rest of the matter."
Mrs. Zhang hurriedly said: "We should pay for money and do our best."
Niang Xiu was very satisfied and said softly: "Don't worry, after things are done, the remaining money will be guaranteed to be a lot of money."
After saying that, Madam Xiu walked out the door. She was wearing a dark green cloak and soon melted into the dark night.
Seeing her leaving, Ah Liu asked, "Auntie, what is this show lady?"
Mrs. Zhang snorted and said, "If you ask the children of the world what their origin is, how big the background is, can you be better than the head of Zhou Dajia?"
Ah Liu shrank his neck, and Ah Tao said with a smile: "Sister, stop asking. If you talk more, your aunt should talk about her meeting Zhou Dajia ten years ago. Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk t
"No, I've been talking for ten years. When I was four or five years old, I heard from my aunt that I could recite it all."
......
Yan Xuejiao came back to her home. Yan Zhaoshan and Yan Zhaolin started arguing again for some reason, and then they started to fight. Then Old Mrs. Guo burst into tears, and Zeng also cried with her. There were ghosts and wolves howling in the adobe house.
Yan Xuejiao was upset and endured it all night. The next morning, she called Yan Jinglong from the third room and asked him to run errands for him.
Because Yan Zhaoshan and Yan Zhaolin had a fight yesterday, Yan Jinglong certainly looked at his father. He raised his chin and said, "I can't run errands for you in vain, you have to give money!"
Yan Xuejiao wanted to slap him, but now she has no one else to use it.
