Xiao Qiniang has never been so depressed as she is now. From the moment she knew her life experience, she spent her whole life on planning. Before she spoke or acted, she used to deduce carefully and think through all possible situations in order to plan.
Complete.
She always thought that she had done a good job, and although it was not perfect, she could at least do a good job. This habit has benefited her a lot and gained a lot.
Just when Xiao Qiniang thought she could go on smoothly relying on this habit, she met Li Man'er.
This person never plays his cards according to the rules, but Li Maner seems to have done nothing, but he can easily destroy the dignity and dignity that she has worked so hard to maintain. She is ashamed, angry, and ashamed.
Just such a person.
Xiao Qiniang thought of the rumors about Li Man'er in the past, and couldn't help but smile to herself. Who took these words seriously? Li Man'er has simply fooled everyone in the world.
"Miss Qi?" Li Man'er stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Xiao Qiniang's face, "What's wrong? What are you thinking about?"
"Nothing." Xiao Qiniang said, "What did sister Man'er say?"
Li Man'er looked at her with concern, as if she was really worried about Xiao Qiniang, "Miss Qi, are you okay? I see that you don't look well, has something happened to you? You might as well tell me.
"
"It's okay." Xiao Qiniang's heart was broken. What should I tell you? That jealousy has made me change beyond recognition? That I'm not as good as you?
"I just thought about Uncle Gong and felt a little sad. The Chinese New Year will be in two days."
Li Man'er also fell silent, thought for a while, and then said: "It is said that a person's life is predetermined. As the saying goes, life and death are destined, and wealth is in heaven, so don't be too sad."
Thank you so much!
I have never seen anything so comforting.
"My sister is interested."
"Don't be sad, I have a way to make you happy."
Xiao Qiniang was very curious, "What can I do?"
"As a woman, when you are angry, sad, or feel wronged, the best way is to go shopping, just buy, buy, buy!"
This is a way to relieve stress that everyone in later generations knows, but sometimes due to economic conditions, most people can't do it.
Now she has the conditions. With so much money in hand, she can just use it to confuse Xiao Qiniang.
"Buy, buy, buy?"
"Yes, shopping can make us happy. When we buy a lot of good and beautiful things, our mood will naturally feel better." Li Man'er said, "Originally, we went out shopping just to pick out gifts for you. It's just right, rich man style.
Cure your unhappiness."
Local tycoon?
Xiao Qiniang has never heard of this word, but the meaning is not difficult to guess.
"I……"
Before she could say anything, Li Man'er pulled her towards the street and said with all her pride, "I will pay for all the expenses today."
After saying that, she took Xiao Qiniang and rushed to the shop next to her.
Those who protected Xiao Qiniang quickly followed them, fearing that they would be lost.
Li Man'er didn't seem to have any other thoughts at all. She just wanted to shop. She bought seven or eight pieces of fabrics. She bought whatever fabrics were expensive and whatever patterns were fashionable. She didn't even blink when she spent money.
The hundred taels of silver were thrown out, not only knocking out the shop owner, but also all the people who followed Xiao Qiniang.
If Xiao Qiniang hadn't stopped her, she would have taken over all other stores.
"That's enough, that's not how the money is spent."
"I'm so happy." Li Man'er said, "Let's go and buy some rouge and gouache."
The servants carried the cloth to the carriage, and Li Maner took Xiao Qiniang into a shop selling rouge and gouache.
What this store sells are all things used by women to groom themselves, including hair oil, perfume, lip balm, and all kinds of rouge. There are also bath beans for washing and green salt for mouthwash.
In future generations, this will be a one-stop cosmetics store.
Li Maner bought a lot more and had people carry them to the carriage.
"Is it almost done?" Xiao Qiniang spent another two hundred taels without blinking, and Xiao Qiniang couldn't laugh or cry, "No need to buy any more, I have to use these things until next year."
However, after buying these things, I seemed to feel really better.
"That won't work. Let's buy some jewelry, jade pendants and other gadgets." Li Man'er said, "It's the Chinese New Year, so I have to add a few valuable things."
"I bought a few last time and they were enough."
"How about that?"
Xiao Qiniang reluctantly pulled Li Man'er's arm and said, "Just listen to me, I can't even walk. We spent a long time selecting materials and bought a lot of gouache. My feet are hurting."
"Then... let's go sit in the teahouse next to it for a while." Li Man'er begged Xiao Qiniang in a low voice, "It's hard to get out. I don't know when I'll come back next time, so let's go shopping again!"
Xiao Qiniang said patiently: "Then go to the teahouse and sit for a while, have a rest and drink some tea."
"Okay, I'll pay the bill."
Xiao Qiniang was not sure what Li Man'er was planning, so she simply followed her to see what she wanted to do.
The two found a grand teahouse, went directly to the second floor, and asked for a private room.
The hall downstairs was almost noisy as the seats were scattered. Xiao Qiniang frowned unconsciously. She always felt that her eyelids were twitching, as if something terrible was about to happen.
"Guests, what kind of tea would you like to drink? Our teahouse has a complete range of teas, all of which are new teas of the year. They will never be inferior to the best. We are honest and sincere. I guarantee that you will want to come again after coming here once. The snacks in the teahouse are for you.
It is carefully made by the master chef and uses exquisite ingredients. You can't taste this taste anywhere else."
Li Man'er threw a silver bean directly over, "I'll reward you for being so good at talking."
The waiter smiled so hard that he couldn't see his teeth and said, "Thank you, Master." Naturally, he could tell that Li Man'er was a girl, but coaxing these people was his specialty. What could he say and what couldn't be said?
He has a clear mind.
"Choose a pot of the best tea you have here, two snacks, and an eight-treasure box. If you eat it, you will get a reward."
"Yes, yes, you two will come later."
Zhuyu and the two women were standing behind Xiao Qiniang. Some of the others were looking at things on the carriage side, and some were waiting downstairs. Anyway, they followed Xiao Qiniang's request and blocked the front and back doors of the teahouse.
I was afraid that Li Man'er would run away.
Li Man'er naturally knew their intentions. If she really wanted to run away, no matter how many people came, they would not be able to look down on her, let alone these few crooked people.
Soon, tea and food were brought out, and Li Man'er said: "My throat is about to smoke, so hurry up and take a sip first."
No one saw that there was some powder as fine as smoke in her hand, and it went into the teapot along the spout.
Li Maner poured himself a cup of tea and drank it in front of several people.
Xiao Qiniang naturally felt that the tea was fine and drank a cup immediately.
