Winning every step of the Red Mansion

It is said that Shi Feier originally wanted to use the birthday of the old lady of the Zhang family to promote a handful of her own handmade soap, but when she was holding the gift list to check the gifts again, Shi Feier suddenly remembered this gift giving. The ceremony was not dismantled face to face.Later, under the influence of Western culture, it became popular to open gifts face to face, and the gift giver also took pride in seeing the surprised and delighted expression of the recipient.

Originally, I put all my effort into this to let the birthday star open the gift in person, and then take this opportunity to publicize it.But in this way, let alone publicity, even the possibility of opening it in public for others to see is zero.What's more, this handmade soap is about practicality. You can't write the usage and effect on the gift list. That would be too weird, and the gift list is not a brochure.What's more, it can't be like the TV commercials in the present world, just grab someone and drag them to wash their hands or take off their clothes and wash them for verification. The more you think about it, the more headache you get.

Seeing Mrs. Jia holding the gift list and saying nothing, Mrs. Zhang, who was standing by the side, thought there was something wrong with the gift list, so she hurriedly asked, "Old lady, what's wrong with this gift list?" The madam asked, and she just came back to her senses.He handed the gift list back to Mrs. Zhang, "You have always done things in a safe manner. There is nothing wrong with it. It's just that I was distracted by other things. This gift list is very appropriate."

After hearing this, the eldest lady was relieved, and seeing Jiamu's distressed face, she asked again: "I don't know why the old lady is worried. Although the daughter-in-law is dull, but the old lady said that many people discussed it, maybe it can relieve her heart." worry?"

Seeing that Mrs. Zhang had brought up the topic, Shi Feier sighed slightly and said, "Do you know how much money is left in our house?"

"I heard from the master that there is still a difference of more than one hundred thousand taels." Mrs. Zhang heard Jia's mother mention this matter, and she was worried because of reading the gift list just now. Previously, due to the lack of money in the mansion, the mansion advocated frugality. When I drew up the gift list, I slightly reduced it by one or two according to the usual practice. Knowing Jiamu's true meaning, she hesitated and said: "This gift list is indeed a bit too generous. In my opinion, the old lady should find an old example."

Hearing what he said, Shi Fei'er knew that his thoughts had gone wrong, and hurriedly said: "My worries have nothing to do with the gift list, this matter is settled, don't discuss it again." Mrs. Zhang was even more puzzled when she saw this, Shi Fei Seeing it from the side, my son smiled and said, "I only ask you one thing today. If your master and I must let you choose one to help, which one do you choose?"

"Old lady, what you said made my daughter-in-law even more confused." Mrs. Zhang hurriedly said: "Where can the whole family help? Old lady, if you have something to do, just give orders, and the daughter-in-law will do her own work." Shi Fei'er heard this and said with a smile: "You don't know what happened before. I made a bet with Xie'er that day, if I make this handmade soap known to everyone in the capital within one month, he will lose three shops to me. Otherwise , I lost three times to him. If you can help me this time, you will be able to win him. If so, who do you choose to help this time?"

Mrs. Zhang frowned when she heard this, and said with a smile: "There is no choice, I am naturally with the old lady. Don't say that the master is not here today, even if the master is here, I will do the same. Besides, if the master is here, I will definitely let you go." The daughter-in-law chooses the old lady's side. I dare to guess wildly, the old lady's move is also to plug the hole, I wonder if what the wife said is right or not?"

"You're smart. It's your mother's birthday. There must be a lot of nobles from the capital. My original intention was to take this opportunity to spread the word. If it is really possible to let everyone know about it, I will plug the hole that is empty." It's not a problem, maybe this thing will become the same income in this mansion, what do you think?"

Mrs. Zhang nodded when she heard it, "The old lady still thinks long-term, and the daughter-in-law can't reach it, but she just doesn't know what she needs to do?"

"Simple and simple. Our purpose is to take the opportunity to promote things to everyone. I just want the old birthday star to open this gift in public, and use the birthday star's mouth to praise it to attract everyone's attention." The words were spoken.

"It's not too difficult to spread the news at this banquet. Among the relatives, friends and family members who came to celebrate the birthday this time, many of my unmarried handkerchiefs were handed over. It's not easy for us sisters to get together. It's natural to speak more casually. At that time, you only need to prepare a few more boxes as gifts and distribute them to everyone. The daughter-in-law asserts that this soap will be spread among the family members of the central government in Beijing in a few days, but... Mrs. Zhang paused and looked at Jia Mu.

"I also know that it's a bit impolite, but firstly I think this thing is good to use, and secondly I'm really anxious about the family's shortfall. That's why I thought about it." Shi Feier patted Mrs. Zhang's hand and said: "But after hearing what you said today, I feel relieved. It's better to do this way. There are still many things, so you can just bring more as a gift, and don't care about other things. As for the old birthday man, don't be embarrassed. Originally I just feel that some are a bit reckless, so I am hesitant. Now I have a way to get the best of both worlds, which is the best. Naturally, this happy day should be happy for the old birthday man." Sphyr paused, "But otherwise I need your help with something, your Zhang family has always been knowledgeable, please trouble your father or elder brother to give this object a more elegant name." Mrs. Zhang was relieved when she heard this, and she agreed with a smile.

Originally, Shi Fei'er was worried about the promotion, but now she heard Mrs. Zhang say that she can promote the handmade soap to her handkerchiefs, which would be the best.Originally, the best audience for this thing was this group of big girls and young daughter-in-laws who were the housewives.If it can be promoted to these people, it will be better than borrowing a few good words from Mrs. Zhang.These people are the real purchasing power group that Shi Feier is targeting.

"Old lady, if someone asks which shop this soap is from, how should I reply?"

"You just say it's Heng Hui Pavilion."

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhang knew that the shop was a dowry of Jia's mother, and it only sold rouge and gouache, and it was quite famous in Beijing.

In addition, Mrs. Zhang, the eldest wife, was originally chosen by Jia Mu's parents-in-law for Jia Amnesty. They just like Zhang's daughters who are well-educated, gentle and quiet.And Jia Daishan is also in favor of this marriage, because the Zhang family comes from a scholarly family of Qingliu, although the family background is not as high as that of the Jia family, but the ancestors of the Zhang family were once the emperor's teacher, and they are contemporary Confucianism, and all the children and heirs are happy. For reading, there is one second place in this generation and five Jinshi, so when it comes to reading, no one in Beijing does not mention this family.What's more, the Zhang family is highly regarded by the Holy Spirit now, and several members of the family have already held high positions.

Although Jia Amnesty didn't pick Mrs. Zhang, he didn't like the Zhang family that much.Just because I feel that there is nothing to talk about with a group of scholars, and my temper is not speculative, so I alienate a little, and I just give gifts every year on three festivals and two birthdays.In the early years, Mrs. Zhang tried to persuade him a few times, but because of Jia She's stubborn temper, he had no choice but to let him go.Fortunately, Jia Amnesty did not omit any omissions in terms of etiquette.This time, Mrs. Zhang's birthday was not a big birthday, but because Mother Jia attached great importance to it, Jia Amnesty also became more serious, carefully sifting through the gift list to prepare gifts, Jia Amnesty was called by Shi Fei'er to give a separate order.Ask him to talk to the Zhang brothers and get closer.Jia Amnesty had no choice but to agree.

On the birthday of the old lady of the Zhang family, Shi Feier brought the eldest wife and the second wife to congratulate her, and Mrs. Zhang also brought Jia Hu and Jia Lian.After all, this time it was because I was confinement after giving birth and went back to my natal home. Of course, I had to bring my grandson back to show the old man.Mrs. Zhang is the fourth eldest child in her family. She has two older brothers, one older sister, and one younger brother.Because he was well-behaved and sensible since he was a child, he was loved more.Both elder brothers were Jinshi, and now they are both in the Imperial Academy.The eldest brother Zhang Can married his wife Zhou and had two sons.The second elder brother, Zhang Yan, married his wife Yang.Have a daughter.My elder sister is married and has a son and a daughter. Unfortunately, she fell ill and passed away three years ago.Only the younger brother, Zhang Shuo, is not yet married.

Mrs. Zhang was naturally happy to see her daughter, so she hurriedly let Jia Mu take the seat, and after everyone had met and chatted about the family, she took her daughter's hand to greet her.Seeing that her daughter looks good and energetic, Mrs. Zhang is relieved.After all, this Jia's mansion is not like our own, with many rules and regulations. Although Mrs. Zhang misses her daughter, she is afraid that if she always brings her back, it will offend the old lady of Jia's mansion.Although the daughter did not mention that she was not more favored by the old lady than the second room, the mother was always careful, and she could sense it from her words in the past.

When I saw her today, I felt that Jia's mother was even closer to her daughter.Recalling what her daughter said about Jia's mother's efforts to save Jia Hu, she urged the eldest son to move into Rongxi Hall.So he reduced most of the previous doubts by half, and the congratulatory gift to himself this time was not only very rich, but also very meticulous and considerate, which was different from the past, which showed his intentions.During the gossip between Jia Mu and herself, she deliberately explained that when she missed her daughter and grandson, she could just send a car to pick her up, and don't care about other things.Mother Jia said earlier that because this daughter-in-law was too sincere and kept her duty, she would not take the initiative to go back if there was no major event in her natal family. She knew that she was homesick, but she couldn't send her back, otherwise it would be thought that this was the case. The daughter-in-law doesn't like her mother-in-law.Shi Feier's words were ingenious, making everyone feel at ease.Everyone was talking and laughing, it was very lively.In a short time, a servant came to report again, saying that Princess Nan'an had arrived with her family. When everyone heard this, they hurriedly got up to greet her.
