Chapter 629 Use
After hearing Haitang's words, Gao just smiled reluctantly and said yes.
She has heard a lot of empty promises. It is common for me to break up bridges in this world. I cannot take this promise without time content seriously, especially Mrs. Quan Si, who is a little kinship with Princess Ding, but not close to her. In addition, Haitang is just a maid. When they turn against each other, who can they ask for advice?
Mrs. Quan Si could naturally guess Gao's concerns, but she was not inconvenient to promise too much.
But Haitang suddenly changed the subject and said, "Mrs. I heard from the fourth wife that you run a silk shop. I wonder if there are any materials that explain the fashion?"
"I'm just having fun, they're all ordinary materials." When talking about her own small silk shop, Gao reluctantly cheered up and subconsciously glanced at Mrs. Quan. She and Mrs. Quan were of the same type. They were both side branches of the big family. They were not well-off and relied on wandering among the doors of the house to make a living. However, she did not have the cleverness or luck, but she was not as good as Mrs. Quan. She could curry favor with the Ding Prince's Mansion. The only Zhongyi Hou Mansion she could rely on was now a second-rate nobleman. You were not the mistress of the family, so it was hard to say anything to help her.
She envied Mrs. Quan's Fourth Master, who could rely on the Dingwang Mansion. I heard that Mrs. Quan lost a lot of money in business a few days ago, but now it seems that life is still very comfortable. I think it was because of the Dingwang Mansion. A little bit of finger leaked out would be enough for ordinary people to eat for several lifetimes.
Haitang smiled and said, "It's just right. A few sisters who have returned to their hometown to get married. They all want to buy some good silk to give to relatives and friends. We are all servants and don't have much savings. Is there anything suitable for you? Don't be too expensive."
"Yes, yes, I wonder what kind of patterns the precious relatives want?" When talking about business, Gao's eyes lit up. Speaking of her small silk shop, she was worried about the fact that she had been in a very downturn recently, and a large number of old materials with colors were accumulated.
Haitang smiled slightly and said, "As long as the materials are good and the price is appropriate, the colors are not chosen. Anyway, relatives in the countryside only recognize the materials. In this way, since you are a silk shop, you can help me pick them."
"Okay, I will definitely help the girl pick it up." Gao Shi was very happy, thinking that she could clear a batch of inventory even if she didn't make any money.
Haitang said, "Then let's do it for now. I still have something to do. I will bother the fourth wife to make the decision on the fabric."
"Don't worry, girl, I will definitely help you cook properly." Mrs. Quan Si said and sent Haitang out.
After returning, he said to Gao: "Sister Gao, there are maids released every now and then in the Ding Prince's Mansion. The princess is actually quite kind-hearted. In the past, the girls who were forced into the mansion by the family, as long as they did not cause trouble, the princess had done their best to find a good home for them. You can go and ask. Everything I said is true. As long as I retire, with the family background of the Zhongyi Hou Mansion and the character of the girl, I am afraid that there will be no good marriage in the future?"
"That's the case, but..." Gao was still confused. She really couldn't believe this promise without practical things. If something happened in the future, Yu Shi would definitely take her anger on her.
"Think about it carefully. The silk matter is decided so I can buy this number. Please help me pick it. I can trust your vision." Mrs. Quan Si said and handed over a silver note.
Gao saw the amount above, his eyes were bigger again, and this was too much, so he hurriedly said, "Sister Quan, this is too much, and there is no such valuable material in my store."
"It's okay, most of them will be bought next time, and you should pay the deposit first. If you have any good materials to keep." Mrs. Quan Si smiled and stuffed the silver notes directly into Gao's hands.
Gao delayed a few words and finally accepted them.
After Gao left, Haitang came out again. She didn't leave at all. She had just walked out a few steps and entered the next room through another door and kept listening.
"Fourth Mrs., this doesn't seem to be the order of the princess?" Haitang asked with some concern.
"Of course the princess won't care about such trivial matters." Mrs. Quan Si said for granted, "We have all received great kindness from the princess. Now it's time to repay you. You don't have to bother the princess with such trivial matters."
"But the princess doesn't like others to make decisions without permission, just like..." Haitang naturally knew what Mrs. Dong did, and said a little scruples, "And what you said to Gao... What should I do if the people of Zhongyi Hou Mansion ask the princess to make trouble later? After all, the dignified Hou Mansion is not an ordinary family, and they will not suffer a loss."
"Don't worry, it's okay. This is not a bad thing. I'm also doing it for the good of the lady of Zhongyi Hou Mansion. Do you think she can get happiness when she gets married into the palace?" Mrs. Quan Si said for granted, "You have seen those girls before. Can you really get good when you enter the Ding Palace? This lady of Hou Mansion is no better than an ordinary girl. She can help find another good family. If you really put it in the corner, your life will be over. We are doing good things."
Haitang also had a bad marriage, so she agreed to help. However, after Mrs. Quan Si promised, she always felt something was wrong and asked, "I heard that this was the empress in the palace who was accused of marriage. It went against her intentions. The palace would blame her. If it was to be concluded, would there be trouble?"
"How could this be? This marriage was forced by the people from Zhongyi Hou Mansion. The prince was forced to agree. Now, as long as they don't make trouble, who will pursue it and relax." Mrs. Quan Si didn't seem to be worried at all.
Haitang looked at Mrs. Quan suspiciously.
"Miss Haitang, why are you watching me like this?" Mrs. Quan Si felt a little guilty when she was seen.
Haitang only felt that things were not that simple. Unlike what Mrs. Quan Si told her before, she coaxed Gao and asked Gao to persuade the people of Zhongyi Hou Mansion to give up the idea of marrying the girl into the prince's mansion. Hearing that Zhongyi Hou Mansion has been quite uneasy these days, You even showed regret. If you encourage him a little, you might be able to solve the problem.
Earlier, Mrs. Quan Si also told her that she had bought some silk from Gao as a errand fee, so she naturally agreed that she could use silk at any time, and she could give it to others if she couldn't use it. But just now, she listened to the news next door, and it seemed that the amount of silver given by Mrs. Quan Si gave was very large.
Mrs. Quan Si is not in good condition now, so how could she give such a sum of money that made Gao excited at first sight? Or is it just her own initiative, that is, Mrs. Quan Si pays out of her own pocket. The princess will definitely not appreciate the things she does without the consent of the princess. With the princess' temperament, there will be no compensation.
Did Mrs. Quan Si do a little too much?
