Why did the shopkeeper say, "We at Baodezhai only have one of each style. If Miss Sun wants it, why not discuss it with Miss Lian San?"
Lian Suisui asked: "Shopkeeper, how much does this hairpin cost?"
The shopkeeper held out three fingers.
"Thirty taels of silver, and twenty taels of gold were used to make this hairpin. Plus the craftsman's craftsmanship fee, the shop is not making any money at all!"
Perhaps because he was afraid that Lian Suisui would question him, the shopkeeper took the initiative to explain, "Thirty taels of silver buys the only hairpin in the capital. It's not expensive!"
Even Suisui originally wanted to say a few words, but now he didn't think it was expensive anymore.
It's the only one in the capital. It doesn't even cost the ladies in the palace. It only costs thirty taels of silver. It's not expensive at all!
When Sun Mingwei heard the price, she couldn't say what she wanted. A hairpin cost her father one month's salary. She was afraid that her father would beat her to death when she returned home!
Lian Suisui asked politely: "Miss Sun, do you still want it? If so, I'll give it to you."
Sun Mingwei was so wronged that she almost cried. Mrs. Sun came to the rescue and said, "Since the Third Miss has also taken a fancy to it, we can't win over others. Mingwei, please choose another style."
Lian Suisui said oh and said considerately: "I have already bought one piece. Let Miss Sun choose it first. I will choose the rest after Miss Sun."
Give them the initiative to save Sun Mingwei from competing with her.
Even when Suisui sat down and took a sip of tea, Mrs. Qin turned around and exchanged glances with Aunt Fang, seeing relief in her eyes.
Even if Ms. Qin was happy, she wouldn't show it too obviously. After the Sun family mother and daughter picked out the right things, they waved their hands and packed up all the headdresses that Lian Sui had laid eyes on, sent them to the Lian Mansion, and gave them back to Lian Sui. I bought a gold necklace when I was 20 years old.
"Mom, this is too much, isn't it?"
Mrs. Qin smiled and said, "It's not much. I think it's too little for you as a dowry."
Lian Suisui: "..."
"Mom, I have no plans to get married!"
Regardless of what she said, Mrs. Qin helped her choose two sets of pure gold headbands.
"Nonsense, women have to get married. Marriage is granted by the imperial decree. How can it be that you won't marry if you don't want to marry? There is a limit to what my mother can do. I can only buy you more dowry. From now on, you have to rely on yourself. Everything is too much. Use your brain to think about it, don't get too excited and start tit-for-tat with others."
"Sometimes, a proper show of weakness is also an offense."
Qin's words made Lian Suisui seem to understand a little bit, and he could show weakness appropriately, for example, like Weng Ling'er, who was soft and weak in front of King Cheng, but could block Du Hanyin in the teahouse with force behind his back, and turned around to fight back. Can explain to King Cheng that they are old friends reunited.
Then Xia Jing'er was unlucky.
I don’t know how Xia Jing’er is recovering. She is inferior in skills and cannot blame others.
"Mom, I understand."
The Qin family teaches the art of war. It would be too unfair to use the art of war in a house fight.
After visiting Baodezhai, Sun Mingwei and Mrs. Sun separated from them on the pretext of going to the teahouse in front to rest. Lian Suisui thought about Qin's words. There was no need for her to be angry with Sun Mingwei. After all, Lian Fangyu and Sun Quan had official positions. The same, but her and Sun Mingwei's starting points were different.
She has a powerful maternal family. Even if Fang Yu was only a seventh-grade sesame official at the beginning, no one in the capital would dare to look down on their family.
This is the power of family.
"Mom, I want to buy gifts for my grandfather and grandmother, as well as my cousins from the Qin family. Please help me make some ideas!"
Mrs. Qin was pleased with her attitude.
"How much money are you going to spend on buying gifts for everyone?"
With the status of the Qin family, ordinary gifts may not be acceptable.
Most of Sui Sui's money is used to buy medicinal materials. Buying medicinal materials is a money-consuming hobby, and some hard-to-find medicinal materials cannot be bought even if you have money.
She pondered: "I haven't used the gold given by Uncle Nine Emperors yet, I don't know if it is enough."
Qin asked in surprise: "Take it all out? Don't you keep some for yourself?"
Lian Suisui shook his head.
"When you buy gifts for your family, you have to buy the best things. I only have this little money. Mom, please help me."
Mrs. Qin had already thought of the gift she would bring to the Qin family for her. If Sui Suiruo couldn't remember it, Mrs. Qin planned to buy one herself and send it in her name when the time came. When she married into Prince Cheng's palace, the only people who could support her were the Qin family. There was no mother who didn't plan for her children, and the same was true for the Qin family.
Since she proposed it herself, Mrs. Qin ordered: "Mommy, go back and deliver the prepared gift list to the young lady's yard."
Lian Suisui was stunned.
"It turns out that mother has been ready for a long time."
She thought Mrs. Qin was still angry with her and really didn't want to care about her anymore.
"Mom is the best!"
Lian Suisui hugged Qin's arm and walked around for a long time. The sun was very hot at the moment. Qin took her into Jiuxiao Tower, and the servant from Jiuxiao Tower took them into the private room.
"Mom, didn't you say that you have to make a reservation three days in advance to eat at Jiuxiao Tower?"
The last time she and Xiao Tao came to Jiuxiao Tower, they still had a private room in Yongding Uncle's Mansion.
"Your aunt from the Song family knew that we were going out today, so she specifically asked us to come to Jiuxiao Tower and use the private room in the Yongding Uncle's Mansion."
Are there fixed private rooms in a place like Jiuxiao Tower?
Gan, Lian Suisui felt that she didn't know how to enjoy herself in her previous life. The money in her bank account could buy an island, but she focused on going to the mountains to collect herbs, and even risked her life because of it. She didn't know what was wrong with her.
Lian Suisui substituted himself into the mysterious reclusive doctor with a strange personality in the martial arts novel. The difference was that the old man with a white beard was replaced by a young girl. There seemed to be nothing wrong with it.
She laughed at her metaphor.
Mrs. Qin looked over.
"What are you laughing at?"
Lian Suisui lay on her shoulder.
"Mom, it's great to have you as my mother."
After a day of shopping, I gained a lot. In the evening, Grandma Fang brought me the gift list.
"Miss, my wife asked you to take half a day every day to learn housekeeping in the main courtyard. Although you are a concubine and don't need to be in charge of the middle court, you can learn to be a housekeeper and manage money, so you won't be fooled easily."
Mrs. Qin had mentioned before that the original owner was really incompetent. After two days of studying at Scrooge, she couldn't stand the tediousness of housekeeping and financial management, so she asked Lian Fangyu to support her.
"Okay, I'll go pay my respects to my mother tomorrow morning."
Lian Suisui looked at the gift list and decided to add a few more elixirs.
To congratulate the old lady on her birthday, you can give her some life-prolonging elixirs. Her uncles practice martial arts all year round, so external and internal injuries are unavoidable. It’s just that it’s unlucky to give those things on a festive day. It’s best to give them in private. My cousin...she She didn’t know much about it, and she had to avoid suspicion, so what her mother prepared was just right.
Cousins... you can’t go wrong with beauty and beauty products!
Lian Suisui brand balm is worth buying a piece of!
I also need to prepare some things to coax the children, sweet and sour hawthorn pills...
There are still about ten days until the third day of July, so she can prepare slowly.
"Miss, what is this?"
Xiao Tao, who was helping her organize the medicine box, discovered the medical records of Uncle Nine Emperors that she had compiled. There was no name written on them, but there was a sketch that Lian Suisui had drawn casually.
A simplified picture of the Nine Emperors Uncle without any clothes.
Because he often flipped through the pages, the pages opened on their own. Lian Suisui hurriedly grabbed the small notebook before Xiao Tao saw the contents.
"It's nothing. You can't understand the patient's medical record."
"oh."
She really couldn't understand the medical record, so Xiaotao put the boiled silver needle back and made the bed.
"Miss, it's been a tiring day. Go to bed early tonight."
