The outer chamber is not what I want, the general will send you a sword!

Chapter 55 The old lady looks at Xia Jin, the more she looks, the more she likes it
"Did I hear you right? The old lady asked her to sit beside her?"

"It's just an outside room. I heard that he is still a slave. To put it bluntly, he is almost like a maid!"

Seeing the old lady's attitude towards Xia Jin, some ladies and wives began to discuss in whispers.

The old lady glanced at them, and they shut up embarrassingly.

Xia Jin walked up to the old matriarch and sat on the seat reserved for her by the old matriarch.

The old lady likes Xia Jin, and doesn't care about her identity.

The old matriarch's father was a woodcutter when he was young, and later he became an official in the court by chance, and gradually achieved success.She was not from a noble family, so she didn't care about status as much as other wives.

In the eyes of the old lady, human nature and virtue are the most important, followed by identity.

"Old Madam, Yun'er bought a ginseng king a few days ago when she went to the chamber of commerce with her father, and her father asked Yun'er to bring it to the old matriarch."

A girl who looked about sixteen or seventeen came forward, with a pair of round eyes, a high nose bridge, and lips that were neither thin nor thick. Her appearance was not that pure and cute, but she kept her throat shut when she spoke. , The combination of picture and sound is quite inconsistent!

She came forward and handed the brocade box to Mammy, and Nanny carried the box to the old lady.

The old lady nodded and said, "Boss Qi has a heart!"

The girl raised her brows, and there was no concealment of the arrogance and arrogance in her eyes.

"As long as the old lady likes it, next time at the auction of the chamber of commerce, Yun'er will let her father buy all the nourishing tonics, to honor the old lady!" She said in a charming tone, which sounded like she was acting like a spoiled child.

"I appreciate Boss Qi's wishes. The General's Mansion is full of everything, so don't spend any more money!"

"As long as it can make the old lady happy, no amount of money will be worth it!"

Listening to her deliberate clip voice, deliberate flattery, and her uniquely confident bragging, Xia Jin was so embarrassed that she picked out a barabara castle with her toes!

If Xia Jin hadn't been to the auction of the chamber of commerce, she would have almost believed her nonsense.

There was indeed a king ginseng being auctioned at the auction, but it appeared as the finale, and it was sold by a salt merchant who was over sixty years old at a sky-high price of 100 taels.

As for Boss Qi, he has no qualifications to enter the Chamber of Commerce at all.

Of course, none of this was worth Xia Jin's embarrassment.

What really made Xia Jin feel embarrassed was that this guy was actually the daughter of the boss hired by his apprentice Qin Haoou.

Qin Haoou hired Qi Luoyun's father to be the boss of Deshenglou in order to earn more money to pay off his debts and save himself the trouble of attending parties.

Let him go to various occasions instead of him, save time and trouble, so that more time can be spent on earning money and paying off debts.

Then the fool just huddled in the kitchen.

Looking at Qi Luoyun's appearance, she might really think of herself as the rich second generation...

Didn't his father tell her?

Xia Jin seriously doubts that this is the case, otherwise where does this mysterious confidence come from?
After some refreshments, the old lady proposed to go to the garden to enjoy the flowers.

The lotus does not bloom until summer, but it is rare for it to bloom in spring now. Ladies and ladies gather around the pool to watch it.

Some ladies with good literary talents have already started to recite poems and compose correct poems, and some in small groups have started to chat and gossip.

Some wives talked with the old lady about some family affairs, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and the relationship between husband and wife.

Xia Jin keeps her at arm's length!
So the gossip group is automatically selected!

On the table in the gazebo, he picked up a plate of melon seeds and moved over.

"It's weird, Miss Qu usually comes every time the old lady holds a banquet, why didn't she come today?" Miss Fenyi asked suspiciously.

"I heard that her elder brother Mr. Qu is sick, and the prime minister is in a hurry to find a doctor, and it's all in a mess!" Miss Ziyi said.

"Master Qu is sick, what happened?" Qi Luoyun was confused.

The two ladies looked at her in unison.

"Miss Qi, didn't you go to the Bafang Teahouse with your father to attend the banquet of the chamber of commerce? Why? You don't know?" Miss Fenyi asked in surprise.

Qi Luoyun smiled with little confidence, and said, "Of course I know!"

"Miss Qi must have seen it at the time, so tell us what happened at that time, why did Mr. Qu faint and be carried out at the auction?" Miss Ziyi asked.

"Among us, only Ms. Qi has entered the Chamber of Commerce, which is really enviable!" Miss Fenyi said with emotion.

Qi Luoyun twitched her lips, how could she know why Mr. Qu fainted, because she had never been there before...

Just when she was at a loss, Xia Jin, who was eating sunflower seeds beside her, couldn't stand it any longer, and said, "Because the things I wanted to auction were robbed, I was so mad!"

Hearing this voice, the ladies turned their heads, surrounded Xia Jin, and grabbed a handful of melon seeds on her plate.

"Tell me what's going on!"

"Yes, yes, tell me!"

Xia Jin couldn't help laughing, it seems that women, whether modern or ancient, love to eat melons~
Looking at their eyes full of thirst for knowledge, Xia Jin spat out the melon seeds in her mouth and said:

"It was an exciting day!"

Several heads moved closer at the same time, their eyes shining brightly.

"The Eight Sage Kings, the first son of the capital, Mr. Qu, and a mysterious person are bidding for a kind of wine with miraculous effects at the same time! The bidding price is 800 taels. Guess what price it was sold for?"

"How expensive can wine be? My father treasured a jug of wine brewed by Master Liquor. It can be regarded as the most expensive in the capital. The price is two or two thousand a pot. I guess the highest price will not exceed 1000 taels!" Miss guessed.

"How can Mr. Qu's financial resources not afford 1000 taels? You shouldn't faint from anger, right?" Another lady questioned.

Then they all looked at Xia Jin,

"Don't be foolish, tell me quickly, how much is it!"

"Young Master Qu paid 12 taels!" Xia Jin said unhurriedly.

"What! 12 taels!"

"Oh my god, what a shocking price this is!"

Xia Jin made a booing motion, and did not continue until they calmed down, "Young Master Qu paid 12 taels. At this moment, the mysterious person increased the price to 12 taels!"

"Huh? Someone raised the price!" Miss Ziyi was stunned.

Xia Jin spread her hands, and said, "Then, Mr. Qu was so ashamed that he smashed the table and chairs, and fainted himself.

The old lady Jun was chatting with the wives, seeing that Xia Jin and the other ladies quickly got along with each other, she couldn't help but nodded, the more she looked at her, the more she liked her.

"Old Madam, you invited Xia Jin here and indulged the general to raise her, so it's not because you want to be included in the general's mansion, right?"
