Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Chapter 556: So I’m waiting here

He Jiuniang nodded, watched the mother and son leave, and then went back to work in the kitchen.

At this time, the new dish was almost ready. She just tried it and made it for one person. After making sure that the taste was good, she asked the cook to make more. After all, there were many people in the family.

After handling these matters, He Jiuniang went to check Qin Jian's wound and change the dressing. After giving a few instructions, she took the two little maids to the club to check.

The construction was slow, but the demolition was very fast. The demolition was completed in a few days. Looking at the ruins in front of her, He Jiuniang sighed with some discomfort. It was such a sin to lose so many materials.

The people of Qingyin Pavilion had been given an opportunity before, but they couldn't be careless this time.

She and Lu Baichuan had many things to do, and it was impossible to keep an eye on them all the time. It was even less possible for Lu Baichuan to be watched by people from the Huoyun Division. That would be self-serving, so she had to find someone reliable.

He Jiuniang's first thought was Lu Lao'er, but Lu Lao'er had to take care of Mrs. Qin at home, and Mrs. Qin was about to give birth, so this was a big deal.

Who else could there be?

He Jiuniang was a little worried. She walked around the construction site and found no problems. She also explained a few things that needed attention, and then left with the others.

However, on the way, she met a few official ladies who looked familiar from the banquet. He Jiuniang didn't see them at all, but she didn't expect them to see her early in the morning and come to say hello to her with a smile.

She stretched out her hand to avoid hitting the smiling person. No matter how impatient He Jiuniang was, she would not show it. She also greeted them with a smile and said, "Ladies, are you out shopping? What good things have you bought?"

"Oh, I was bored at home, so I came out for a walk. Where is Mrs. Lu? You didn't go to the hospital today to be busy?"

"Yes, Mrs. Lu, why don't you go shopping with us?"

Several people were very enthusiastic, and He Jiuniang was already taken shopping together before she could refuse.

Anyway, I just have nothing to do when I go back, so let’s go shopping.

He Jiuniang thought to herself that it was necessary for her to make good friends with these ladies. After all, her family members were all in Jingzhou, and it would be easier to travel around with more friends.

The ladies went shopping, just to look at jewelry and clothes. First they went to a jewelry store. He Jiu Niang was shopping very seriously. She thought that the little girls at home might also need some jewelry, so she carefully selected it. Then get ready to pay.

As a result, Mrs. Zhang's slightly fat body stood in front of He Jiuniang, and she said with a smile: "Mrs. Lu, we have known you for so long, and I haven't given you any gifts. Let me buy these jewelry for you. It can be regarded as my first gift." It’s my intention.”

He Jiuniang frowned and was about to refuse when another Mrs. Wang squeezed over again: "Let me come. Let me come. I don't know what Madam likes on weekdays. This is a rare opportunity. Madam, please let me show it off!"

Mrs. Chen also came over and went to take out her wallet noisily.

He Jiuniang:......

"I appreciate the kindness of all the ladies. I bought these things for my children at home. I brought the money, so you don't have to spend any money."

Knowing that they had good intentions, He Jiuniang naturally couldn't show off her face, and she smiled even when she refused.

"Mrs. Lu, please stop being polite to us. Just think of it as a small gift we bought for the ladies at home, okay?"

Although the ladies were fighting over each other, they did not dare to cause too much trouble. If He Jiuniang was really upset by then, the gain would outweigh the loss.

He Jiuniang still shook her head: "I really appreciate the kindness of the ladies. Besides, His Highness King Chen is the most disgusted with such behavior. As my husband is someone close to His Highness, I cannot embarrass him. Madams, buy what you like. That’s fine.”

There was some warning in these words. The faces of the ladies were not very good-looking. They suppressed all their thoughts for a while, and then carefully looked at He Jiuniang's face.

Seeing that her face remained as usual and she asked the little maid next to her to pay, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

He Jiuniang turned around and saw their worried faces. Mrs. Wang licked her lips and said, "Madam, don't be angry. We just want to buy some things for the ladies at home. We really don't have any ideas..." "Yes, yes." , we have no bad intentions!”

Seeing their annoyed and eager expressions, He Jiuniang smiled and said: "Of course I know the good intentions of all the ladies. Let's not talk about it anymore. Madams, go buy your own. Let's go shopping elsewhere."

Seeing that she didn't pursue the matter, several people instantly smiled and asked the maid next to them to pay.

After that, I visited some shops and everything was fine.

After wandering around, I arrived at the Jiayuange branch where Lotus is located. I definitely wanted to go in and have a look.

As soon as they entered, several ladies praised again, talking about how tall and enviable Jiayuan Pavilion was, and how the clothes they produced were more beautiful than the last and could not be obtained at ordinary times.

He Jiuniang generously asked Lianhua to bring them some VIP cards so that they could have priority in ordering. The ladies were flattered and smiled from ear to ear.

Mrs. Zhang stuffed a hairpin she had just bought into Lotus and said, "Miss Lianhua is really beautiful. I really like it. I think this hairpin is a perfect match for you. You must accept it!"

Lianhua didn't dare to pick it up and was so frightened that she went to see He Jiuniang.

Mrs. Zhang chuckled and said: "Mrs. Lu, you gave us such an expensive card. We didn't show any sign and we were really embarrassed to accept it. Is this just a return gift? Okay?"

Madam Zhang was really up to something. He Jiuniang couldn't refuse at all, so she said, "Lianhua, why don't you thank Madam Zhang quickly?"

Lianhua took it and said thank you to Mrs. Zhang.

When the other ladies saw this, they refused to lag behind at all. They all stuffed things into Lianhua's hands. Fortunately, they knew what was going on and did not exaggerate. Each of them gave a piece of jewelry, which was not very expensive, but just a little thoughtful. They all expressed that they wanted to make friends with the Lu family.

He Jiuniang didn't say anything. As long as they had good intentions, it really didn't matter, but if they had ulterior motives, that was a different matter.

The ladies were chatting and laughing as they went to pick out clothes. Lianhua came over with the jewelry and asked in a low voice: "Auntie, what should I do?"

"Keep it, they don't mean any harm."

"Well, then I'll go back and share some with Youyou, hehe."

Lianhua put the jewelry into her arms and said, "Auntie, please go around first, I'm going to entertain the guests!"

He Jiuniang nodded and walked around the shop to see what areas could be improved.

After a while, several ladies came to see He Jiuniang happily. Each of them bought two or three sets. They were very happy after spending the money and smiled so much that they couldn't close their mouths.

"Mrs. Lu, Miss Lianhua is really the smartest and most capable girl I have ever seen. At first, I couldn't understand why the madam was willing to let her children go out to endure such hardships. I didn't expect that she can really train people!"

"Oh, who says it's not the case? I heard that Mrs. Li's girl Yuan'er is also in Mrs. Lu's shop! Mrs. Li shows off every day, which makes people envious!"

"Mrs. Lu, I wonder if there is still a shortage of people in this shop? Those boys and girls in my family can also use some experience!"

"Yes, yes, my family is too!"

……

Seeing their excited faces, He Jiuniang curled her lips, "Good guys, it turns out they are waiting here."
