At almost noon, Ding Hao came back from the city with a few people. Today he went to the city to buy a batch of household items for the inner house according to the purchase list. He also went to the drugstore to grab some medicine for his wife. He just came back.
Purchasing requires understanding market prices, dealing with merchants, chatting about business, understanding the specialties of the north and south, and understanding the texture and differences of the same product in different origins. The accumulation of these experiences will be of great benefit to Ding Hao. This free internship opportunity
How could he let it go so easily, so he worked very hard. In the eyes of outsiders, it seemed that he was grateful to Mr. Ding for his promotion and was determined to work in the Ding family for the rest of his life.
As soon as Ding Hao entered Ding Mansion, he happened to bump into Aunt Li coming out of the left courtyard. Ding Hao stopped and said hello to her: "Auntie."
"Oh, it's Hao'er." Aunt Li said with a smile: "I just went to see your mother. She is doing well. Seeing that her complexion is getting better, I feel relieved. You have just returned from the city.
Come back?"
"Yes, I went to the city to buy some things. I was about to send them to the back house."
"Oh, then you are busy, you are busy, haha, I have something else to do, and it's time to go back." Before the marriage was even mentioned, Aunt Li didn't say anything to him, she said hello with a smile and walked away.
Ding Hao asked Xi Zhu'er and several others to carry the purchased items and follow him to various places to deliver the purchased items one by one, and finally arrived at the residence of the family members in the back house.
As soon as he entered the inner house, a charming voice from afar called him: "Brother Hao, can I buy back my rouge pollen?"
"Damn, Brother Huanhao, you think you are Ronger. Don't look at your thick, protruding lips. Are you too sexy?" Ding Hao frowned when he heard the voice.
The person who came was the girl Lan'er who led Ding Hao to see Ding Tingxun when he first came to the inner house. In fact, Miss Lan'er was tall, with a slender waist and bulging breasts. Her appearance was not bad, but her lips were slightly turned out.
It was a bit ridiculously thick. Ding Hao was disgusted with this snobby woman from the bottom of his heart, so when he saw her shortcomings, he magnified them infinitely. When he saw her thick lips, he wanted to kick her out of his sight with a whirlwind kick.
Ding Hao hummed indifferently and said: "I don't know what Miss Lan wants. Anyway... I have purchased all the items listed on the shopping list. After Miss Lian counts them, Lan'er
It’s not too late, girl, to get what you want.”
Lan'er's face turned red when she hit a soft nail. Logically speaking, the girls in the inner courtyard are relatively arrogant. When Ding Hao said this, she wanted to turn around and leave even if she didn't want to fall out on the spot, but she actually
She wasn't annoyed, and she didn't know if it was because Ding Hao was now the famous person in charge of the house and she couldn't afford to offend her, so she agreed obediently, gave Ding Hao a wink, and then flew away like a house sparrow.
After a while, Miss Lian heard the news and came over. Miss Lian is the girl in charge of the upper house, responsible for the supply of various items for the madam, as well as the maids and maids up and down. She is a big girl in her early twenties, good-looking
She is dignified, quiet, elegant and delicate. Because she is the most powerful person in front of the lady, she has not been let out of the inner house to find a man to marry.
Miss Lian brought Ding Hao into the flower hall and counted the things purchased by Shangfang one by one. Ding Hao even explained their origins and backgrounds for some of the special things. Ding Hao was eloquent and articulate, and his speech was anything but ordinary.
He was a disgusting master. Miss Lian nodded frequently, obviously very satisfied with him.
After finishing the order and signing for the signature, Ding Hao took out another small box from his arms, showed it to Miss Lian, and smiled slightly. As soon as he took out the small box, a fragrance of extremely high quality came out. Overflowed, Miss Lian's eyes lit up, and then she said in a reserved manner: "Manager Ding, what is this? It seems that you have already ordered and collected all the things purchased by the inner house?"
Ding Hao smiled and said: "Haha, Sister Lian, I bought a lot of things this time, so I worked hard with the shopkeeper to lower the price. With the money saved, I bought a box of rouge for my sister. This is specially made by Jiangnan Huanhuafang. The best rouge 'Nine Flowers Jade Dew', just put a little on your face and you will be as gorgeous as a peach blossom."
Miss Lian took the rouge, opened the lid and took a look. She saw an unusually bright color and a sweet fragrance. A smile appeared in her eyes, but she handed the rouge back to him, shook her head and sighed: "It's hard to blame Manager Ding for his intentions. The servants are all old girls, so what are they doing with these things..."
"Times are different. In my time, many 20-year-old girls were still ignorant girls. But she already felt sorry for herself and had a deep grudge against her family..."
Ding Hao smiled bitterly to himself and said hurriedly: "How do you say this? Miss Lian is as beautiful as a flower. She seems to be only about eighteen years old. If she dresses up a little, she will be twenty-eight years old. Who dares to say that Miss Lian is an old person? Then he really doesn’t have eyes anymore.”
"Haha, you know how to make people happy."
A smile appeared on Miss Lian's face, and she glanced at her, bringing out a bit of joy. In fact, the twenty-year-old girl had just matured, and her feminine charm was only slightly revealed. A look that was not intended to tease, already revealed Very charming.
"Apply powder to the face and both cheeks. The thicker one will make you dizzy, and the lighter one will make you fly. Apply it to your lips, a little red, and the peach blossoms will bloom. As the saying goes, swords are given to heroes, and red powder is given to beauties. This box of 'Nine Flowers Jade Dew' 'Send this to Miss Lian. I wish Miss Lian may live longer and stay younger. She will be twenty this year and eighteen next year."
Seeing that she was happy, Ding Hao gave her the words of the rouge shop owner while the iron was hot, and then said a modern advertising slogan that would definitely refresh her ears. This made the girl Lian beam with joy. Ding Hao then gave it up. Get up and say goodbye.
When he established friendship with Miss Lian, he was not afraid of a woman like Lan'er biting his tongue. But when the old girl looked at Wen Jing, her temperament was actually moody. She might not know which words offended her taboo, but the look on her face The child became sore. Moreover, Miss Lian stood out among the many smart women in the back house and became the most popular person around Madam. How could she be a scheming person? Ding Hao wanted to have a good relationship with her, but he never wanted to What further development can there be with such a difficult woman?
Miss Lian put the rouge in her sleeves and sent him out with a slight smile. As soon as the two of them went out, they saw a graceful young woman walking towards them.
This young woman has long black hair tied up high, with a butterfly-shaped jade-studded bob on top. She wears a light purple narrow-sleeved back, a fishtail skirt tied in, and a pair of light silk boots with plum patterns under her feet. When walking, the body is upright with shoulders level, and the pure and beautiful appearance is like a pure lotus slowly floating on the water.
When Ding Hao saw him, he quickly stepped aside and bowed to salute. Miss Lian also saluted and said: "Young Madam..."
The person who came was none other than Lu Xiangwu, Ding's daughter-in-law. She stopped and asked in a low voice: "Manager Ding, are you back after shopping?"
"yes."
"Oh. Can you buy what I want?"
"Yes, the things that Young Madam asked for have been purchased and just handed over to Miss Lian."
Miss Lian hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Young madam, the "Miaofa Lotus Sutra" you want has been brought back, and I am planning to send it to you soon. This sutra was written by Monk Zhishen of Daxiangguo Temple in Kaifeng.
The seal script of Jiangnan Chengxintang is an extremely rare Buddhist treasure scroll. The merchants in Bazhou City only bought this one. After getting the letter, Steward Ding placed a deposit early and was able to get ahead of many others.
I have invited this Lotus Sutra to our home."
She accepted Ding Hao's favor and was happy to be flattered by him, so she naturally wanted to put in a good word for him.
After Lu Xiangwu heard this, he glanced at Ding Hao with almond-shaped eyes, his face showed a bit of joy, and he thanked: "Manager Ding is interested."
"Young lady, you don't have to be polite. This is Ding Hao's responsibility." Ding Hao cupped his hands and smiled. Thinking that she was young and asked for Buddhist scriptures, it must be because her husband was seriously injured and she prayed for him to purify his heart, so Ding Hao had some feelings for her.
Sincere respect, and Ding Hao has nothing to do with Ding Chengzong, the young master of Ding. This young lady has never been very public, and they are not familiar with each other. Now seeing her being polite and polite, Ding Hao also treated her with respect.
Mrs. Lu pursed her lips and sighed softly. Just as she was about to leave, a strange voice suddenly sounded: "Hey, who is this? It turns out to be Manager Ding. I haven't seen you for a few days. Manager Ding is now
The spring breeze is on my face..."
Ding Hao sighed helplessly. He knew without raising his head that it must be Young Master Ding Er. Sure enough, Ding Chengye took three steps at a time, leading Yan Jiu, who looked like a habal, and was slowly swinging towards him. Both the master and the servant were
He had a mean smile on his face, but unfortunately for his handsome face, he suddenly smiled like a grandma who doesn't kiss him and his uncle doesn't love him...
