Flowers are expensive

Chapter 418 The Little Princess Arrives 1
When Mama Ding heard that she was sent to the cashier's office, she was very enthusiastic. She reached out to pick up her baggage and led her to the north yard.

There are two small courtyards in the north, separated by a small garden, and on the left are female workers.Mother Ding enthusiastically led her into the small courtyard, went up to the second floor, and brought her into the room, then helped her tidy up while smiling and said, "If you have something to do in the future, just say hello, don't be too extravagant!"

"Mother's surname is Ding?" Song Lingqiu asked, standing outside the window and looking out.

"My surname is Ding. You can just call me Mama Ding from now on." Mama Ding tore off the cover sheet on the bed, turned around and said with a smile, "I see that you don't have any luggage, and you probably didn't bring bedding or anything else. You just wait." , I'll go downstairs and pick out a good bed for you, clean."

"Thank you, Mom! I'll go with you!"

The two walked downstairs talking and laughing.Mother Ding asked about her family affairs, but she just perfunctorily did what she told Xixi before.Mama Ding asked her if she had ever been married before. She was slightly taken aback, then shook her head and said, "I've never been married before, so I never thought about those things at all."

Mother Ding opened the door of the warehouse downstairs and said with a smile: "You can rest assured when you come here! I see that you look good, and you are working in the counting room. If there is anything good, I will give it to you." You pay attention!"

Song Lingqiu followed Mama Ding into the warehouse, and said, "I never planned to get married, so Mama doesn't have to worry about me, save the good ones for others!"

"What are you talking about? Is it possible that you still want to work here for the rest of your life? It's all right, but after all, you have to find a man to rely on, right? Oh, that's right!" Mama Ding patted her forehead and turned to her He smiled and said, "Fortunately, you have come to the city these few days, and you are in time for a big happy event!"

"Big happy event?" Song Lingqiu's eyes were neither surprised nor happy, and asked intentionally, "What big happy event?"

"A rare happy event!" Mama Ding turned to her while rummaging through a pile of quilts, "Have you ever seen someone marry a concubine with the emperor's decree? We met in Jingyou City." Such a person! Tomorrow the lord of Zhang’s mansion will marry the Living Bodhisattva of our Jingyou City, that is a match made in heaven! I heard that it was Prince You who led the thread, do you think it is a happy event?”

"Master Zhang?" Song Lingqiu asked with a gloomy look on his face, "Where did Master Zhang come from?"

"I heard that they came from Bianjing City. There used to be a main wife in the family. If we marry another one now, wouldn't that be the blessing of all people? But ah, these things have nothing to do with us. The most important thing tomorrow is to grab wedding money And gift cakes. I heard that wedding money and gift cakes will be thrown along the road between Youwang Mansion and Zhang Mansion. Maybe everyone in the city will go! Don’t worry, follow me tomorrow, and I will take you to pick them up. Make sure to pick up a pocketful of happy money and come back!" Mama Ding was busy looking for bedding, and she said it happily, she didn't notice Song Lingqiu's expression at all.

Song Lingqiu glanced coldly out of the window and said: "Yes, what a happy event! Maybe the whole Jingyou City will go to see the excitement? I should go to see it too!"

"What's the point of just looking at it? It's serious to pick up some happy money mooncakes! I wish that the emperor would issue an imperial decree every day, and there would be big weddings in Jingyou City every day, that would be great!" Madam Ding finished making , turned around and asked, "Miss Song, come and have a look, is it alright? There are only a few designs and colors of quilts, and you can buy a few feet of cloth you like later and change them! You have to buy clothes for quilts and so on. Wash it yourself, you know that, right?"

"I know, thank you Mama Ding," Song Lingqiu walked to her bag, took out a heavy money bag from it, and stuffed a piece of silver, about two taels, into Mama Ding's hand.Mama Ding pretended to delay: "This is not allowed! You are all out to work, I will just help you make a bed, how can I charge you so much money?"

"Take it, mother," Song Lingqiu said with a smile, "I will ask my mother to take care of me in this workshop in the future. I just came to the city, and I am not familiar with many things. I need my mother to remind me a little bit. Yes. This little money is only a gift from me to my mother!"

Mother Ding accepted the money as soon as she saw it. Seeing Song Lingqiu's sincerity, she accepted the money with a smile on her face and said, "You are really a sensible girl! From now on, you can work in this workshop with peace of mind. Go ahead! The proprietress of this shop is a kind person, and I can't lose you."

Song Lingqiu pulled Mother Ding to sit down and asked, "Is that lady just now the proprietress of this workshop?"

Mama Ding shook her head repeatedly and said, "You can't talk nonsense, girl! She is the side concubine in the palace, how could she be the proprietress of the workshop? There is also a big shopkeeper in this workshop, named Long Cuiyue, who also There is a second shopkeeper who is in charge of the accounting room, named Meng Furu, and you will follow from the shopkeeper Meng. Let me remind you first, the shopkeeper Meng is very strict! You work under her , then you have to be more careful, or..."

"Mother Ding, are you still upside down?" Mother Yin's voice came from downstairs.

Mother Ding hurriedly got up and walked to the window, stretched her neck and replied, "Okay, come down now! Is there something wrong?"

"The shopkeeper Meng is here, and my mother asked you to take Miss Song down to show her."

"Understood! Here we come!" Mama Ding turned around quickly, pulled Song Lingqiu up and closed the door while exhorting, "Remember what I said just now? When you see shopkeeper Meng, look better and work carefully. She I won't chase you away!"

"Is that so? Has she driven anyone before?"

"Why didn't you catch up?" Mama Ding pulled her over and said softly, "The shopkeeper's attitude didn't suit her heart at all, so she didn't need it. A few days ago, there were three lazy and contradictory ones, and she didn't even ask. Shopkeeper Long sent it directly. So, you have to work hard under her hands and don't be lazy, you know?"

Song Lingqiu nodded and said, "Got it."

When the two returned to Chuanfeng Hall, Meng Furuo was still sitting there, talking to Xixi and Zhuang Yunxian.Seeing her coming, Xixi smiled at Meng Furu and said, "This is the Song girl I told you about. Look for yourself, do you still like it? You can do your calculations and take the test. It won't be a problem anyway!"

Meng Furu took a look at Song Lingqiu and asked, "Do you know how to keep accounts?"

"I know the running account, but the rest I just watched my father do it casually, and I haven't done it myself."

"What about the inventory?"

"I've done this before. My family used to sell pots. I didn't buy much, and it's easy to make a plate. At most, it's my father, me, and two guys."

If Mengfu saw that she answered honestly, without exaggeration, she was quite satisfied.She had heard Xixi talk about her ability to plan before, so she had no other doubts, so she nodded and said, "The workshop has not officially started yet, but you have to follow me from tomorrow. Wu Ensheng, who is helping Shopkeeper Long, resigned After finishing the job, no one will take care of the purchase, so I will leave it to me for the time being. Before you find someone, you will have to work harder, you know?"

Song Lingqiu nodded and said: "I'm not afraid of hard work, it's pretty good to have a job. Don't worry, shopkeeper, I'm not stupid. If there's anything I can't do well, please tell me, I can learn of."

"Ah That's good."

Meng Furu turned her eyes back to Xixi again, and asked with a smile: "My concubine, now that you have a child, what about the pre-job training you mentioned earlier? Yesterday, sister Cuiyue told me I said, I'm afraid I won't be able to work for you anymore. Your lord has already greeted Sister Cuiyue. If there is anything, she can make the decision. I only come to ask you if there is a last resort! Do you have to say something now? "

Xixi took a sip of tea, waved her hand and said, "Who cares about him? He doesn't understand anything!"

One sentence made all the daughter-in-law and mother-in-law in the hall laugh.Mother Yin said happily: "You can't ignore it! That's the thing about the knife resting on your neck!"

Xixi smiled and said: "Don't worry about him, the training before taking up the job is very necessary, otherwise the things made will be a mess, how much money will we have to spend on it? As I said before, from tomorrow onwards, in the morning I will come here every afternoon, and I will give this training to the training before the start of work."

"Then you have to talk to your prince," Meng Furu said with a smile, "otherwise it will become a matter of putting a knife on your neck. If the prince really refuses, you can write a charter and let Cuiyue It’s okay for my sister to teach, she will do it anyway!”

"No!" Xixi shook her head vigorously and said, "I don't want to stay in the palace and be a mummy with a big belly! That's it, Mother Yin, go back and talk to those guys. I'll come over tomorrow morning and call them They are all waiting in the workshop over there, and no one is allowed to be left behind. If you pass the test when you go back, you can't stay."

"Understood." Yin's mother responded.

"Okay," Meng Furu got up and said, "You guys sit here and chat slowly! I have to get busy."

"What serious?"

"I made an appointment with the owner of the Deer Flute Hall to talk about buying land, and I just stopped by here to have a look. It's almost time, Song Lingqiu," Meng Furu said to her, "Follow me today, a little while When you are not asked to speak, just stop talking."

"I'll go too!" Xixi hurriedly got up and said, "I'm the best at negotiating business! We two will be invincible together!"

"Forget it, ma'am! Who would dare to bring you along with the wife of the city defense officer to negotiate a deal? The deal didn't work out, and I guess it scared the other party to death. He thought he had committed something and would be taken back to the yamen. And you, stay where you are cool, don’t mess with me, go.”

"Ah? Shopkeeper, take me with you..."

Meng Furu didn't wait for Xixi to finish her wailing, called Song Lingqiu and left.Xixi has a feeling of being "disgusted" by everyone, and she is not allowed to do anything. Does she sleep when she really wants to be full, and continue eating when she wakes up, until her belly is round and fat?She didn't want to hand in her gun and surrender so quickly, she looked back at Zhuang Yunxian and said, "Sister Zhuang, your martial arts are very strong, aren't you?"

"What do you want to say?"

"I want to say, you are the only one who can stand up to two Xin'er?"

"You won't know until the trick is over."

"Why are you not confident?"

"Still provoking me?"

"In a word, just you, can you protect me?"

"It's okay in Jingyou City."

"That's fine!" Xixi turned her head and said to Xin'er and Wuye, "You two go back to the palace obediently, if the prince asks, just say that I am with Mrs. Ying!"

"Niang Niang..." Wu Ye said with a mournful face, "No way! If we go back like this, the prince will punish you! You can do it, it won't hurt if you bring the two of us with you!"

"You two, please, can you? I have stayed in the palace for six days very honestly, so it's settled! Let's go, Sister Zhuang!" Xixi pulled Zhuang Yunxian and ran away after speaking.

"Miss!"

Xixi doesn't care if your mother or aunt, she pulled Zhuang Yunxian and quickly disappeared outside the Chuanfeng Hall.Wuye and Xin'er looked at each other helplessly, and asked: "What should we do? The empress won't let me follow, the prince insists on following, and we can't become birds flying in the sky to follow, so what can we do? Xin Son, you should say something!"

"I see you two, let's go back!" Yin's mother smiled, "Your mother is suffocated, tell her to run for a few more days, when her belly grows, she will be tired and don't want to move, so I don't need you Follow after so much trouble, let's go back!" Wuye and Xin'er had no choice but to go back to the palace to accept the crime.Besides, after Xixi pulled Zhuang Yunxian out, Zhuang Yunxian also let out a long breath, as if she finally took a breath of fresh air.Xixi turned her head and smiled and asked her: "You don't want to be so boring, do you?"
