Mrs. Li took them to a shop. She stood at the door and knocked three times before someone inside responded: "Come on, come on!"
After a while, a woman came over and opened the door. The woman had a beautiful face. When she saw Madam Li, she immediately smiled: "Hey, Madam, why did you not come until now? I have been waiting for a long time, and I heard it yesterday.
After hearing your news, I quickly went to the store to pack everything!"
"It's hard for you to have such a heart!" Madam Li smiled, and then led them inside, "This lady is my husband's colleague. She came to Huizhou for disaster relief. She has been staying in the house these days.
They're so bored, don't even think about bringing them to your shop for a walk."
The shopkeeper smiled flatteringly, and he also said the same to Chengchun and Shaoyao: "They are both noble ladies, they really make my shop shine!"
It was obvious that this shopkeeper still had a good eye. Although he said it was nice and would not offend anyone, in fact he still just followed Mrs. Li around.
Shaoyao was naturally unhappy, so she took Chengchun to the other side to look at the jewelry: "What are you talking about? They are here to apologize, but looking at this, they are clearly here to make us angry. There is a girl on the left, and a girl on the right."
, I’m afraid that others won’t know that she is a real lady! It’s really unlucky, I will definitely file a complaint against her with our father when I go back!”
"I keep mentioning it over and over, but I keep saying that the two of us are little ladies!" Chengchun quickly agreed, but although she was talking to Shaoyao, her ears couldn't wait to grow on them.
Listening to their conversation, it seemed that the shopkeeper was a distant relative of Mrs. Li's sister-in-law. They were related to each other, so they were very intimate when talking.
"Why did the girl next to the eldest lady change? I think the previous Chuntao was very smart, but this new one still looks very immature, maybe she can't take good care of the eldest lady?" the shopkeeper said a little strangely.
Madam Li paused, her face changed slightly, but then she said: "That girl Chuntao did something and was betrayed. Although this one is immature, she is well-behaved and has clean hands and feet. If she doesn't do her job well, she can be handed over slowly.
, not in the way."
"Well, that Chuntao really can't understand what a blessing it is to work beside the eldest lady, and yet he would do such stupid things. It's good now. I don't know what will happen in the future.
What a painful method!" The shopkeeper shook his head and sighed.
Now that we have talked about it, according to the way the two of them get along, they must talk about what Chuntao has committed, but this lady refuses to say anything, as if the name Chuntao is very taboo.
The same thing happened, and his complexion became even worse.
The shopkeeper was naturally a smart man, so he stopped mentioning it and led Madam Li around. After a while, Madam Li finally felt that something was wrong, so she said to the shopkeeper: "Go and give those two
Madam, let me introduce you, they are all from the capital, if you don’t come up with something good, they will definitely look down upon you."
The shopkeeper immediately reacted, responded, and went to Shaoyao and Chengchun: "You two ladies have been looking at it for a while, but you like it."
Shaoyao was angry and refused to pay attention to her, so she turned around and went to the other side.
Chengchun felt a little embarrassed, so he didn't walk away and kept talking to the shopkeeper.
When I looked back, I found that Mrs. Li had already gone upstairs, obviously not wanting to stay with them.
Cheng Chun felt helpless and said to the shopkeeper: "I'm really embarrassed to bother you to open the door at this time!"
People like them who open jewelry shops have seen a lot of concubines from wealthy families. Most of them look like they are poor and suddenly become rich. On the contrary, they are gesticulating towards merchants like them. Someone like Cheng Chun is polite.
Rare.
"They are all doing business. If someone is willing to come to the door at this juncture, we will naturally open the door quickly!" The shopkeeper said quickly, "I said that both ladies are from the capital, why are they here at this time?"
"Our father was originally going to Hangzhou, and when he heard about the disaster in Huizhou, he stopped by to help." Cheng Chun said with a smile, "So I have been troublesome to Mrs. Li to take care of her during this period. It's a big thank you to her!"
The shopkeeper smiled and said nothing. She must know more or less what kind of character this lady is. Chengchun said this to give Lady Li face. There was no need for her to ask more. She just looked out of the corner of her eye.
I accidentally saw the scar on Chengchun's neck and was a little surprised: "Hey, how did you get this injury?"
"Isn't that the big lady you talk about? She didn't take care of the people in her house and hurt her!" Shaoyao on the side said coldly, "That's nice to say, come shopping with us to make amends to her.
I didn’t expect that I still have to show off when I come here!”
The shopkeeper didn't understand anything when she heard that. She looked at the scars on Cheng Chun's neck carefully and said with some regret, "Were they injured by that lady?"
"Do you also know that lady?" Cheng Chun was a little surprised. After all, it is reasonable to say that this is a dirty secret in the mansion, but how it got here has become a matter known to everyone.
"I saw that lady before she got sick. She was an ordinary woman. She was sold to others as a concubine because her family had no money to eat. She was usually cautious and obedient. But after giving birth to a child,
It didn't take long for her to go crazy. She escaped several times before and injured several people on the road. Most people on this street know about it, but they don't know why she went crazy. Anyway, she said everything!"
The shopkeeper also sympathized a little with that miserable, crazy woman.
Cheng Chun didn't ask any more questions. After all, this was considered a secret in the family's family. It would be a bit impolite to keep asking.
"I just heard you talking about selling out. Why, is it possible that this lady is always selling out her servants?" Shaoyao suddenly said in a weird voice.
The shopkeeper glanced at Peony, and then smiled: "Madam is not such an unreasonable person, but some time ago, I heard that there was a thief in the house, and the servants in the inner courtyard were changed, like this
There is nothing that can be done about this kind of thing. After all, the people in the house are disobedient and do something, and the eldest wife always has to control them. If you don't make a warning to the monkeys, how can you control the servants in the future!"
Shaoyao snorted lightly, with a look of disdain on his face: "What can the yard do if it's too big? It's not a big yard in the capital!"
