1175: The Queen's Teachings
Concubine Tan Guifei took her daughter to the front hall, and on the other side, Princess Jin'an in Fengyi Palace was also accompanying her mother to change clothes and leave the palace.
"Horses, they will go to Flower Street first, Xiao Jiu and Xiao Si are here, you can follow us to see the excitement." Princess Jin'an said with a smile.
The queen walked out from behind the screen, changed into a ginger pattern dress, and said with a smile: "The little ninth daughter-in-law told me a long time ago, let me definitely go and see, what is interesting in the palace, or go out and be lively." ”
Princess Jin'an smiled, "Then do you want to bring Concubine Li De?" ”
"No need, Concubine Li Defei won't go." The queen chuckled.
Princess Jin'an also smiled when she heard this, "Also, Concubine Li De has always done things like this, as long as her father doesn't speak, she has never been in the limelight." Speaking of which, the fourth brother's temperament is really similar to Concubine Li De, and I don't know if it's good or bad. ”
"It doesn't matter if it's good or bad." The queen said disappreciably, "Little four...... In the future, you will always have to rely on Xiao Jiu. ”
“?” Princess Jin'an looked at the queen mother puzzled, what did this mean, but obviously the queen mother didn't mean to say it deeply, so she had to suppress the curiosity in her heart.
"Let's go." The queen took Shu He's hand and walked out.
Princess Jin'an followed, "Do you want to invite your father and emperor together?" ”
"No, where do you still need it, let's please." The queen laughed.
Princess Jin'an was stunned for a moment, and then she understood, looking at the back of the queen mother, she didn't know what to say for a while.
When she was very young, she still remembered that her father and queen mother were very affectionate, but the more she got to it, the weaker that feeling became.
Now looking at the queen mother's unimpressed look, Princess Jin'an is not feeling good in her heart.
The mother and daughter got into a carriage and left the palace, and went directly to Flower Street without stopping on the road.
Because the time for them to leave the palace was not early, and when they arrived at Flower Street, it was already overcrowded, and the carriage could only find a place to stop outside Flower Street.
The queen stood outside the street, staring at the people coming and going, looking at the bright smiles on their faces, and turned her head sideways to her daughter and said: "If you look at them, I often think that even if your father and emperor can't stand me, but he can suppress the anger of the subjects of this world, the society of the country, and the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty." ”
Princess Jin'an's heart tightened, "Queen Mother's ......"
"Although it is said that it is to start a family and start a career in the world, but there is only the world in the heavenly family, you have to remember this, because you are also a heavenly family, no matter when you remember your identity, remember your duty, keep your own heart, and do your own thing."
"Yes." Princess Jin'an solemnly responded, but her heart was sour and unspeakable.
"Let's go, let's be a mother and daughter in the market today, and live a life of ordinary people."
"Aren't you going to find the Ninth Brother and Sister?"
"Don't worry, we haven't been on the street alone like this for many years, and when you go back to Tanglin Mansion after today, you don't know what year or month it will be when you wait for the next time." The queen opened her mouth abruptly, not without guilt for her daughter.
"Okay, let's go shopping today." Princess Jin'an grabbed the arm of the queen mother and said with a smile, with a smile on her eyebrows and eyes as she spoke.
The whole flower street is wide and magnificent, with various colors of flowers on both sides to form a hundred kinds of scenery, and there are people guarding in front of each flower stand, and even people are keeping records.
Princess Jin An asked with some curiosity, "What are you remembering?" ”
The bookkeeper saw that the person was dressed extraordinarily, and he hurriedly got up and said with a smile: "The record is the name and address of the flower buyer, and we will send the flowers to the door tomorrow." ”
Princess Jin'an asked with some curiosity: "Send flowers to the door?" Selling flowers? ”
"Yes, the flowers on display today can be sold to the outside world, but because today is the Flower Dynasty Festival, we can't move these flowers on the spot, otherwise what do you see? So negotiate with the flower buyer, buy the flower and pay half of the cost, and tomorrow our flower shop will bring the flowers to the door, and will not let people run again. ”
Princess Jin'an understood, this means that you can't take the flowers away on the spot today, in order to compensate everyone, the people of the flower line tomorrow will send the flowers to the door, and they don't need to go to the flower line again.
Therefore, it can not only sell the flowers, but also allow the people to enjoy the flowers happily in the flower festival.
"That's a good idea, and I think everyone is willing to do it, after all, no one wants to go shopping with a heavy pot of flowers." Princess Jin'an said with a smile.
In other words, she is also willing to pay half of the cost to set her favorite flowers, so that the flower shop can deliver them to her door, and she can enjoy the flowers leisurely with both hands.
"That is, our shopkeeper said that doing business should be for the sake of the seller." The bookkeeper said with a smile.
"Which flower shop are you?" Princess Jin An asked with a smile.
"We are a flower shop under the Business Alliance, and we belong to the Business Alliance. This entire flower street is made by the flower shop of our business alliance, and the price is fair. ”
Princess Jin'an raised her eyebrows when she heard this, oh, the industry of the business alliance of the ninth brother and sister, no wonder.
With a wave of her hand, Princess Jin'an picked out more than a dozen pots of flowers, and asked the attendants to wait for the records and return to the queen mother's side by herself.
The queen smiled and said, "How is it?" ”
Princess Jin'an said with a smile: "How can the ninth brother and sister have such a way to make money, if it is a noble family, there is no shortage of retinues to move flowers, but ordinary people's families do not have such convenience." ”
"yes." The queen looked at the people on the street, "The most commendable thing is this, Yuan Ling, this child, can always think about problems from the standpoint of the people, and is willing to think about them and make profits for the people." ”
It is only said that the guys in the flower shop go door-to-door to deliver flowers, which is time-consuming, laborious and laborious.
Not everyone wants to do such drudgery.
There was no crowd of people following, only a few guards and maidservants following not far behind, and the mother and daughter walked leisurely and comfortably on the street, chatting casually, which was a great feeling.
It seems that the restraint in the deep palace is gone at this moment.
"The ninth brother and sister are indeed very admirable people." Princess Jin An smiled and said, "At least, I can't do it at her age, and I can't think of so much." ”
What does Princess Jin'an want to do at her age?
is guarding against the threat of Tan Guifei's mother and son to the queen mother, worrying about who his horse will fall to, and thinking about how he can live a smooth life in the future.
At that time, there were no people in her life, only a small piece of sky above the harem.
Looking at the current nine brothers and sisters, Princess Jin'an is a little ashamed.
"Mother, I now understand what you told me."
The queen mother told her that a woman's life is often not easy, only self-improvement can be self-reliant, and only self-reliance can be broad-minded.
If you have a wide eye and a wide heart, you will not be afraid of a little wind and waves.
