Chapter 139 I can do manicure
Mrs. Zhao asked the old lady to send an invitation to Cheng Shuyi as well.
When people gather in the prime minister's mansion, they are either rich or noble.
By then, most of the noble ladies in Shengjing City will be there.
Zhao forced Lu, the second wife, to take out her dowry and bought her jewelry and clothes so that she could attend the event in a luxurious manner.
She had thought tonight would be a good opportunity.
Cheng Shuyi was called here without any proper reason. Even though she was favored by the Regent, she was still the least presentable one in front of all the famous and influential ladies.
After everyone looked at her and commented on her.
Zhao tried to shift the topic to the hard work of the mistresses for the mansion.
At that time, she would pretend to talk about the hardships she had experienced in managing the household affairs of the Regent's Palace in the past, so as to resonate with the ladies.
At this time, everyone will do it naturally.
Subconsciously, he continued to treat her as the mistress of the Regent's Palace.
Even if Cheng Shuyi jumped out to argue and declare his position at that time.
But one is a person without any legitimate status, and the other is the regent mistress recognized by everyone.
You can tell who wins and who loses at a glance.
After that, Zhao could use the mouths of these mistresses and ladies to spread this matter from the back house to the ears of civil and military officials.
This puts pressure on Pei Yanli.
Let Pei Yanli bring her back to the Regent's Palace to be the mistress!
Zhao really had a good plan.
But she never expected that Cheng Shuyi would ignore the invitation from the Prime Minister's Mansion at all!
When the invitation from the Prime Minister's Mansion arrived, Cheng Shuyi only opened it and took a look.
She held the post and asked Pei Yanli beside her: "Can I not go?"
Pei Yanli was taring the two children's wooden horse shoes, and he just glanced at the contents of the invitation.
He said, "If you don't want to go, then don't go. I can just find someone to go back for you."
Then……
The post was forgotten by the two of them in a corner of their home.
Zhao had carefully arranged a big play, but because Cheng Shuyi was not present, she had no chance to perform at all!
Cheng Shuyi seemed to not care about any of the tricks used by the women in the harem, no matter their background or reputation.
Does she really not care about other people's gossip at all?
This question was passed on to Cheng Shuyi through Shen Zhou's mouth.
Shen Ting was promoted, and it was the first time that Shen Zhoushi received an invitation from the Marquis' Mansion.
Although she had not yet come into contact with people of the same level as the Prime Minister's Mansion, the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion who invited her this time had received an invitation from the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The topics of women go around in circles.
After all, we will talk about some old things.
"Gossip?" Cheng Shuyi smiled softly, "I don't care."
"But sister, don't you feel bad?"
Cheng Shuyi opened Pei Yanli's vegetable shed and pulled out a few palm-sized cabbages.
Prepare dinner and cook it later.
"It's not uncomfortable."
Cheng Shuyi shook the dirt off the roots of the cabbage, looked up at Shen Zhou and smiled, "Sister Zhou, do you think it would be uncomfortable for the Prime Minister to gossip about her?"
Shen Zhou opened her mouth and shook her head.
"So," Cheng Shuyi said, "other people have their mouths. You can't control what they say."
"Moreover, caring too much about what others say is equivalent to handing my feelings over to others and letting them control my mood."
"Think about it, if I wasted my time eating and sleeping poorly, being depressed and unhappy, because of someone who didn't matter to me, that would be really stupid."
Shen Zhou had never thought about this problem from this perspective.
Now, after listening to Cheng Shuyi's words, she suddenly felt as if her eyes had been opened.
"Sister, it's so comfortable to chat with you."
Shen Zhou still liked to hang out with Cheng Shuyi. "Chatting with those ladies is like watching a frying pan. You never know whether their next sentence will contain water or oil. It makes me so nervous."
Unless absolutely necessary, who would want to listen to those ladies' empty boasting?
I have to smile apologetically.
It's so annoying!
"Let's not talk about this anymore."
Cheng Shuyi washed his hands and pulled Shen Zhou into the house to warm up. "Sister Zhou, the New Year is coming soon. What fun things are there in Shengjing City during the New Year?"
As the Chinese New Year was approaching, Cheng Shuyi finally stopped making trouble.
Apart from purchasing and stocking goods, she no longer considers new business.
She even postponed her previously planned visit to the Menstrual Secret Hall until after the New Year.
But when he had some free time, Cheng Shuyi suddenly discovered that apart from opera troupes, flower viewing, poetry gatherings, and tea parties, there were very few entertainment activities in Shengjing City.
No wonder those ladies in the mansions love to hold banquets so much.
There is nothing to play at all.
"If you have time, why don't we call Sister Yu and go see a play or go shopping?" Shen Zhou suggested.
Watch a show?
shop?
All right.
Cheng Shuyi accepted Shen Zhou's suggestion, and the two of them called Lin Yu to go to the theater and go shopping together.
The play... Cheng Shuyi can't say it's good, but also can't say it's bad.
Without subtitles, she really couldn't understand what the people on the stage were singing.
I was confused the whole time.
As for shopping, it is even more boring.
Qulou, Zhulou, Darunwanjia and Shengjing Yiwei are the most popular shops in Shengjing City today.
Who goes shopping in their own shop?
Apart from these, there are not many shops where the three of them can go for entertainment.
Fortunately, there were rouge shops and jewelry stores that allowed them to stay a little longer.
In terms of jewelry, ancient times were not inferior to modern times.
Headwear, earrings, necklaces, accessories, everything is available.
Cheng Shuyi was delighted to see the items and was very enthusiastic in choosing them.
But the two sisters were not very interested in these jewelries. Instead, they gathered together and looked at something.
Cheng Shuyi walked over curiously and found that what they were looking at was - nail covers!
She was very confused.
She had never seen Shen Zhou and Lin Yu wearing nail covers.
The two of them tried a few, and their eyes were filled with bright smiles, and it was obvious that they liked them very much.
But they put the nail covers down and pushed them back.
Didn’t buy!
"Don't you two sisters like it?" Cheng Shuyi asked.
Shen Zhou's eyes followed the nail plate closely and she smiled, "I like it, but it's too expensive, and I don't have many opportunities to wear it out, so I just gave up."
Lin Yu also wanted to buy it but was reluctant to do so. "My nails have never grown long since I was a child. It's better not to buy it."
Nail caps were most commonly used by concubines in the palace.
Next are the ladies and young ladies of the powerful and wealthy.
For minor officials like them, having a nail cap in their jewelry box is already very precious.
The nail covers are made of gold and are inlaid with gems, pearls, emerald green and mother-of-pearl for decoration.
Exquisite and precious.
The price of a nail cap might be two months' salary for Chen Ting.
Shen Zhou naturally was reluctant to spend this money.
Cheng Shuyi glanced at the price of the nail covers and understood.
She had the money to buy it, but she didn't like it very much.
It feels like filming a movie.
"Sisters, I can do manicures. Come to my house tomorrow and I'll do it for you!"
Cheng Shuyi, the owner of a B&B, not only needs to be able to shoot and edit videos, but also help guests produce films.
I also learned manicure to provide more services to guests staying at the hotel.
She has tried many ways to earn money to support her children.
