I really don't want to take shortcuts anymore

Luo Qianhuai has come to the end:

“So it is said that wealth does not come from business, and goods do not have permanent owners. Knowing how to package goods and sell them to the right buyers is the way for merchants to make money.”

No matter how unwilling Mrs. Xin was, she had to admit that what Madam Jing had just said revealed a lot of things she had never thought about before.

The Xin family was a large family, and it was not easy to manage them. Even if it was to maintain their dignity, they had to spend money. Although she had many farms and properties, her income had not been good in recent years. If it were not for the endless tributes from all sides, she would have collapsed long ago.

Maybe I should let my husband come forward and find a smart businessman to help me manage my business.

But Huo Xiu would only think about these things in her heart and would never admit them with her mouth.

She glanced at Mrs. Wan, who was sitting diagonally below her.

The latter immediately understood and said with a sneer: "Merchant is a lowly and despicable person, and it is difficult to reach the level of elegance. Madam Jing is going to marry into the Marquis's house in the future. She should be careful in her words and deeds, and don't mention those Adu with open mouth." It's nothing but a dirty thing."

When she said this, several other supporters of Mrs. Xin were not to be outdone and jumped out one after another:

"Today is a flower viewing banquet. This place is elegant and noble. Don't let the smell of money pollute this clean waterside pavilion."

"Although Mrs. Jing was born in the countryside and has not been influenced by poetry and etiquette, she is about to get married, so she should find a suitable person to teach her the rules."

.......

Luo Qianhuai just found it funny. These so-called ladies, each of them with glamorous appearances and fine clothes and food, all rely on power and wealth to support themselves. They themselves may not understand this in their hearts, but they are used to saying one thing and thinking another. They only talk about etiquette and elegance, and as for other vulgar things, they can't even mention them.

She wanted to discuss with them the theory of being rich without doing business, and teach them how their basic necessities, food, clothing, housing, and transportation, including the various delicacies at today's banquet, were all transported from various places by merchants, but she felt it was unnecessary.

You can never wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep, not to mention they will not pay you for teaching.

Suddenly, Luo Qianhuai felt a little unmotivated.

She stood up and said goodbye to Madam Xin: "My little girl is vulgar. If not for Madam's kind invitation, she should not be in this noble place. Now that she has had enough wine and food, she went back to avoid staining the eyes of all the ladies again. "

After saying this, she turned around and left with Xingxuan without waiting for Madam Xin to speak.

Before he walked out of the waterside pavilion, he saw a maid stumbling over, her face full of panic. She brushed against Luo Qianhuai's shoulder and rushed in, kneeling directly in front of Madam Xin's desk, shouting, "Madam, something's wrong!"

In front of so many guests, the lady in the palace was so rude, and Mrs. Xin's face, which was already dissatisfied with Luo Qianhuai, immediately became more serious.

The maid who was kneeling behind her said in a deep voice: "There are so many distinguished guests, why are you so panicked? Please leave immediately, we can talk about it later!"

The maid seemed to have not understood at all and said with a sob: "It's Madam, Madam, something's wrong!"

As soon as they heard these words, the noisy sounds around them disappeared immediately, and everyone focused their attention on the maid, with their ears perked up.

The eldest lady of the Xin Mansion is the legitimate daughter of Madam Xin, the granddaughter of the Huo family, and the future Queen Dayu. It is no exaggeration to say that she is the most noble woman in Manxijing.

What does it mean to say that she is bad?

Mrs. Xin could not care about Luo Qianhuai at this moment. If looks could kill, she would have cut this gibberish envoy into pieces.

"What a fuss." Mrs. Xin suppressed the angry shout on her lips. She no longer raised her eyes to look at the female envoy. She only ordered the nanny beside her: "Take the person down first, don't scare the guests."

The nun agreed, clapped her hands, and two big-bodied and round-waisted ladies rushed out from the back of the hall. They grabbed the female servant one by one, covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and dragged her straight out. go.

Madam Xin gritted her teeth and forced a smile: "I am sorry for disturbing you ladies. I hope you won't take it as an offense."

Madam Wan reacted very quickly and quickly said, "There are many people in the mansion, and it is inevitable that some of them are clumsy and incompetent. It's just a small matter, we won't take it to heart at all."

Madam Liang was not to be outdone: "Yes, I have far fewer servants than you, madam, but they are all like wooden blocks. No matter how much we teach them, they won't learn. I'd like to ask you to share some experience with me!"

Cui Yingniang over there was very attentive. When she saw the female envoy with tears streaming down her face and her eyes full of despair, she couldn't help but feel moved in her heart and said:

"My lady has always been well-mannered in her duties, and we have all seen it. I think that although this female envoy has gone too far, it is probably for a reason. Why don't you first listen to what she wants to say. It is a pleasure for us to enjoy the flowers and have a banquet. If it doesn't suit It would be a big sin to miss the lady’s business.”

Mrs. Wang was a person who loved her children very much. She thought that if someone came to report that her son was in trouble, she would definitely drop everything she was doing and rush over. So she found it difficult to understand Mrs. Xin's behavior. Upon hearing this, she chimed in:

"I see that this little envoy's eagerness is definitely not fake. I think something really big has happened. If we ask questions quickly, if it is proven that the news is false, we will punish her severely."

Mrs. Xin's original intention was not to talk about her daughter in front of other ladies, but to take her out and ask her for details, but Cui Yingniang and Mrs. Wang both said so. Although the remaining ladies did not speak, they His expression also conveyed the same meaning, so he had to change his words:

"That's all. Let her go and let her talk."

The female envoy was about to be dragged out of the water pavilion. As soon as she was free, she knelt on her knees and walked all the way to the center of the hall, crying: "Madam, the eldest lady's abdominal pain has worsened again. She has vomited twice this morning. Don’t think about food and tea..."

Huo Xiu knew that her daughter had frequent abdominal pain in the past two days, and she had asked the imperial physician to see her. The physician said that it was due to improper diet, and prescribed medicine and told her to avoid raw, cold and greasy food. Her condition had improved a little, but now it had worsened unexpectedly.

Even so, she didn't think the problem was so serious that she would deliberately rush into the flower-viewing banquet, and she immediately became sullen:

"Since the lady is ill, just take my note and ask for the doctor. Why come here to scare her?"

Of course, the maid understood the threat in these words, and immediately dropped her head to the ground with a thud, crying out in sorrow, "Madam, the doctor has just come to see you, and he said, he said it was a case of constipation... it's already, it's too late to save you!"

These words, like a thunderclap in a clear sky, made all the ladies in the pavilion dizzy.
