"Buy a small amount first to try making it, and then continue to explore this raw material."
Su'er nodded, "Yes."
As the master and servant walked, they bumped into Mei Xiaoqin and Mei Mu, who were also walking together.
Wei Jingwei felt slightly blessed and said, "What a coincidence, mother, she is also walking in the garden today."
Mei's mother snorted coldly, still resenting Wei Jingwei's unwillingness to help Brother Cheng find a teacher. She had completely forgotten that it was her son who forbade her to come forward for fear of hurting her own face.
"As a mother, you should take a good look at Brother Cheng. Why do you look here and there all day long? I really don't understand. What we women have to do is to serve our husbands and take good care of our sons. I If I were as leisurely and carefree as you, how could I have achieved what my son has achieved now?"
After she finished speaking, she looked at Wei Jingwei with contempt. Although she liked Zhang Ruoruo at the beginning, she thought that the Mei family now had to rely on the Wei family to develop better. In addition, the people in Beijing were fearful, so he persuaded his son to marry Wei Jingwei.
I didn't expect that the Wei family has become more and more useless these days. If I had known this earlier, I would have been better off marrying Zhang Ruoruo. She was gentle and obedient, so how could she be as full of lies as the Wei family.
Her good grandson, Brother Cheng, would not end up with the title of stepson.
It's all Wei's fault!
Mei Xiaoqin saw that the atmosphere on both sides had cooled down, and thought that she still had to rely on Wei Jingwei to learn housekeeping. Her mother couldn't do it. She had been in the country all her life, so she didn't know anything about housekeeping. If she wanted to marry into those aristocratic families, she must learn housekeeper.
She took Mei's mother's hand, shook it, and said coquettishly: "Mom, didn't you and your sister-in-law discuss letting me learn housekeeping? I'm not too young now, and the ladies from the aristocratic families around me started learning very early."
Only then did Mei's mother remember this incident, and said to Wei Jingwei in a cold voice: "You have to pay more attention to brother Cheng's matter. He calls you mother, and you have to live up to his title. The same goes for your sister's matter. , starting today, take her with you and learn to be a housekeeper. Aren’t you tired? After she finishes her studies, she will be in charge, and you can rest."
Wei Jingwei sneered, did she want Mei Xiaoqin to divide her power and prevent her from being in charge of the family?
There are many strange people and strange things in Beijing, but the Mei family is so special that they let their youngest daughter be the housekeeper, intending to take away the housekeeping rights from their sister-in-law.
But she was waiting to see how Mei Xiaoqin messed up this family.
"What mother said is that from then on, my sister will come to study with me every morning."
Mei's mother originally thought that Wei Jingwei's housekeeping rights would be taken away, which would make her very angry, but she didn't expect that Wei Jingwei would be so obedient without any rebuttal, and her anger finally calmed down.
She said earnestly: "Ms. Wei, only if the Mei family is good can you be good, remember this."
After saying that, he left gracefully with all the maids and Mei Xiaoqin.
Lian'er looked at their backs angrily and spat: "It's really unheard of and unseen. That aristocratic family let the sister-in-law take over the family and take away the rights of Mrs. Zhengtou. If you tell me, you won't be afraid of making people laugh."
Wei Jingwei shook her head, but she didn't mind at all.
The Mei family was not wealthy to begin with, but it was only through the money from her dowry that she used to supplement her wealth that she could maintain the beauty in the mirror. I'm afraid everyone in Mei Mansion has forgotten this. Moreover, she had to supplement the monthly expenditures and favors in the house to maintain them. Now that Mei's mother thinks it's okay to run the family without her, she is happy.
Just get rid of this mess and give Mei Xiaoqin a headache.
"Boss, the materials our wife asked for a few days ago were said to be one cent and fifty taels. Now you have four cents on hand, and we are very sorry that the madam asked for them all. It has only been two days, why did you ask for sixty taels? two."
The sun was high in the sky, and Su'er, who had always been steady, was so angry with the materials merchant in this shop that he almost lost his balance.
Wearing a yellow robe, the fat businessman rolled his eyes, rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Girl, you don't know something. This year's harvest is not very good. There is a drought in many places. I can't get these materials." Easy. I traveled to many places, and I had to send someone to escort the goods to Beijing. The cost of this person, and the horses had to eat grass on the road, was also a lot of money, and many things would be damaged on the road. This was also an expense. I This is hard-earned money. You see, sixty-two percent is not enough."
Su'er saw the businessman in front of him smiling treacherously, feeling angry and helpless in his heart.
After a while, he said bitterly: "I have to go back and tell my wife about this before I can confirm it."
The businessman laughed so hard that the fat all over his body trembled. He looked at Su'er in front of him as if he were looking at a piece of fat. "Okay, you can go back and discuss it slowly. But in Beijing, except for my family, this kind of material is a rare commodity. , even if there are other families, they are definitely not many. It is better to do it sooner rather than later. Please also ask your wife to make a decision as soon as possible. "
This is as good as telling Su Er directly that his price has increased, what can you do to me?
Su'er knew that only one Mei Yuanqing in the Mei Mansion was reporting to the Hanlin Academy, and his official position was not high at all. In this capital, where the fourth-rank officials are everywhere, and the fifth-rank officials are worse than dogs, Mei Yuanqing cannot deter them at all.
And those who can do business here will most likely have someone behind them.
After thinking about it, Su'er suppressed the anger in her heart and prepared to go home and explain the situation to Wei Jingwei before making a decision.
After she left, a carriage stopped at the door of the shop. The blue silk cloth was slowly lifted, revealing a hand with clear joints.
"That one just now must be Wei's personal maid."
Daji couldn't figure out why his young master was interested in the Wei family over and over again, so he nodded helplessly.
"Yes, I remember that I took her with me last time."
Jiang Yinbai nodded. His hair was tied up with a white silk cloth. His black hair was like a waterfall, and his black eyes were like a deep pool, making it difficult to see to the end.
As he spoke, his fingers tapped lightly on the inner wall of the carriage, and there was a trace of laziness between his brows.
The sun was shining brightly outside the carriage window, and the warm sunlight fell on his body and face through the window, adding a bit of fireworks to his handsome and distant cheeks.
"Go and ask what happened just now."
Daji was surprised, "Master, you are always concerned about what the mistress of the Mei family is doing. Madam Qian'er asked you to go to the Liu family's banquet to meet those ladies, but you left after less than a while. Madam blamed me for this." For a long time, I said that I didn’t think much of you, and..."
Jiang Yinbai glanced at him coldly, "Go if you are told. There is so much nonsense. Erji is keeping an eye on me outside every day. If I don't let him come back, it's your turn."
