Chapter 179： Promised errand

After the group entered the city, Gong Haining handed a jade pendant to Mrs. Zhou and gave a few instructions before leaving with Yang Santie and the others.

The woman was jealous of the jade pendant in Madam Zhou's hand, and said sourly, "It's different to have a daughter who has not left the palace. A man will take care of her!"

Mrs. Zhou’s face instantly darkened, “What do you mean?”

She can tolerate what others say, but not attacks on her children.

"What? I'm not wrong! If it weren't for you bringing your daughter with you, how could Master Gong give you the jade pendant! You're a fool if you look at other people!" The more the woman spoke, the more excited she became.

Xu Nuoyan pulled Madam Zhou with a dark face, "Mommy, why are you arguing with a shrew? We will explain it clearly to Young Master Gong and the others when we get back later, so that Young Master Gong's kindness in helping us will not lead to malicious speculation."

"What do you mean? When did I maliciously speculate about Young Master Gong?" The woman's expression changed drastically and she glared at Xu Nuoyan fiercely.

Xu Nuoyan snorted coldly, "Don't worry, I will say whatever you say, and I will never smear you with empty words! Auntie, let's go."

“You! Stop! You little bitch!” The woman cursed. She was so angry that she didn’t dare to make a big deal out of a city where she was unfamiliar.

Mrs. Zhou walked far away before asking: "Why did you stop me just now?"

Xu Nuoyan frowned, "Auntie, this is a capital city, and there are many rich and powerful nobles. It's okay for us to quarrel or even fight with her. We'll be reasonable, but it won't be appropriate if it affects my eldest brother.

That woman was not afraid of us, but she didn’t dare to provoke Young Master Gong and Young Master Yang. I moved out of Young Master Gong’s house and warned her that if she was wise, we would not offend her. If she couldn’t figure it out, I was not someone to be bullied. "

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhou’s expression finally softened a lot.

While talking, the mother and daughter arrived at a treasure pavilion.

Zhenbao Pavilion has a large facade, with private rooms specially designed to entertain distinguished guests. The decorations placed in the lobby are all ordinary items, and the expensive ones are probably kept.

The job of entertaining them was not to ignore them just because they were wearing ordinary clothes, but to carefully introduce the things in the store.

Xu Nuoyan took out a veil from his arms and opened it to reveal two bead flowers inside, "Do you accept these bead flowers here?"

The waiter looked at it carefully and immediately asked the shopkeeper to come out.

The shopkeeper looked at it for a moment and said in deep thought: "The beaded flowers made by the girl are made of cheap materials, but the craftsmanship is good and the colors are beautiful. I can accept them here, but the price will not be too high. If the materials are better, it will be better." I can give you a good price.”

Mrs. Zhou was overjoyed and asked eagerly: "Can the shopkeeper take over the work? Just take the things back and make them."

The shopkeeper subconsciously frowned and looked at Mrs. Zhou and Xu Nuoyan, "You are not locals!"

Mrs. Zhou nodded anxiously, "I am accompanying my son here to take the college examination, and I have to stay here for a while."

The shopkeeper was stunned, but said: "In this case, I can't give you the things. What if you leave silently, what will happen to my loss?"

Mrs. Zhou wanted to say something else, but Xu Nuoyan stopped her, "Is it okay if I come to work for the shopkeeper?"

"Yes!" the shopkeeper agreed readily, and even led Xu Nuoyan to the backyard, "The main store of Zhenbao Pavilion is in Beijing, and Quzhou is just a branch store. No matter which store has new styles, they can be sold in other branches, so We have our own Zhenniang.

If it weren't for the fact that the girl's skills are really good, I wouldn't have brought you in. "

While talking, the two of them arrived at a bright room full of women doing work. Each one had a special place. On one side was a cabinet with some valuable finished products or semi-finished products, and on the other side were materials. The shopkeeper said with a serious face: "All Zhen Niangs who enter this room must put on the same clothes. When they leave this room, they put on their own clothes. There will be a specially supervised maid to watch them. No problem, right?"

Xu Nuoyan nodded and said with a smile: "This can save a lot of trouble, which is very good."

The shopkeeper smiled with satisfaction and said, "Young girl is indeed a transparent person. If there is no problem, you can come over tomorrow to do the work. As long as the things you make are chosen and bought by the customers, you will get 10% profit. For example, this silver hairpin sells for three taels." , you can get three hundred coins.”

The price exceeded the expectations promised, and she immediately promised to come early the next morning.

The mother and daughter left the Zhenbao Pavilion, and Mrs. Zhou asked anxiously, "What did the shopkeeper say?"

Xu Nuoyan nodded towards her.

Mrs. Zhou suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the time, it was still very early. Mother and daughter went directly to Yongtai Restaurant, and soon boarded a bullock cart and left the city.

Over at Quzhou Academy, Zhong Bohan had just finished taking the exams and commented on several students who were about to leave. Finally, he turned his attention to Yang Santie, "Do you still remember me?"

Yang Santie had already recognized Zhong Bohan the first time he saw him. When he saw everyone taking the initiative to say hello, he quickly put on an awkward giggle and said, "Hello, Academician Zhong!"

Zhong Bohan twitched his lips in a funny way, "I saw you before, you were like a skinny monkey, but now that you put on a Confucian shirt, you still can't change your nature! Is your mother-in-law coming to Fucheng too?"

"No, no, she didn't come, it was me and my second brother who came together!" Yang Santie was afraid that Zhong Bohan would misunderstand, so he hurriedly defended himself.

Zhong Bohan frowned, "If you don't end up, what are you doing here? You didn't sneak out, did you?"

Yang Santie was so anxious that he knelt down with a plop, "Grandpa Zhong, I swear, it was really my mother-in-law who agreed that I came here! Mr. Ming should have told you in the letter, right?"

Seeing that he was almost crying, Zhong Bohan laughed loudly and said, "Get up! How dare you play tricks with Mr. Ming with such a little talent, that's great!"

Yang Santie was aggrieved and pursed his lips. Although it was Mr. Ming’s intention that he came to Fucheng, he was indeed playing a little trick. Unexpectedly, Mr. Ming saw through it at a glance.

Zhong Bohan saw that he was a little unhappy, so he stepped forward and joked: "What? Didn't you come here to do business? You can't make any money like this!"

Yang Santie looked up pitifully, "Grandpa Zhong, do you allow me to do business in the academy?"

“I didn’t say that!”

Yang Santie was instantly depressed.

"But you can go find Mianmian, maybe that girl will help you." Zhong Bohan said a word, Yang Santie suddenly felt that there was a turn of events, and he jumped up with joy, "Grandpa Zhong, I knew you were the best! I now Just go find Mianmian! What does Mianmian like? I’ll buy it for her!”

“You don’t know what she likes?” Zhong Bohan raised his eyebrows.

Yang Santie scratched his head with a smile, "She likes my grandma the most, but my grandma is not here! I can only think of other ways!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an idea flashed through his mind and he shouted excitedly: "I know what to give!"
