Chapter 84 My cousin has become a beggar
With Mother Sun was Mrs. Liu from the Jingzhao Yin Mansion.
Mrs. Liu didn't know where the shop selling moisturizer was, so she went with Mrs. Sun to buy some.
Mother Sun stopped by the Yinyue Teahouse on the way to do some small business.
The two were shocked by the huge crowds of people in the teahouse.
Although they were all people who had seen the world in a big city like Beijing, they were still quite surprised.
Granny Liu's eyes widened. "Oh my God, this is the first time I've seen so many people in a teahouse in my life."
Mother Sun exclaimed, "Who says it's not true? Just look at the Silver Moon Inn and Silver Moon Teahouse. They are so high-end that you can't even find them in Shengjing City of Great Yan. I wonder what kind of big shot the owner behind them is. He must be very impressive."
Mother Sun wanted to enter the teahouse but was stopped.
"Guest, please line up according to the rules."
Because the teahouse cannot accommodate so many people. If there are too many people and it exceeds the capacity, people will die.
So there was a long queue outside the teahouse. People would be allowed in only when seats were vacated after some people went out.
A scholar standing outside complained, "I've been waiting in line for three days and still can't get in."
"That's because there are too few people coming out. One person has to come out before another can go in."
The gatekeeper had a friendly smile on his face. "Our boss knows that it's cold and tiring for you to wait in line, so we let you get your number plates and go to the first floor of the inn next door to rest for free. It's you who are worried and insist on waiting outside in the cold."
Mother Sun stepped forward and begged, "Please, please, just let me in. I'm going in to look for someone and will be out soon."
The Yinyue Teahouse was quite humane. I was actually let in after just begging for a few sentences.
Mother Sun walked into the teahouse and looked around. She planned to find her cousin Wang Yuyan and ask her to help persuade Miss Baozhu so that she could return to Beijing.
After searching for a long time in the Yinyue Teahouse, I finally saw my cousin.
Her cousin had changed so much that she almost didn't recognize her.
How would you describe Miss Cousin now?
My cousin is now completely unkempt and at first glance, you'd think she's a beggar.
Mother Sun was very surprised. When this cousin was in the capital, she paid special attention to her image. She was the apple of the Prime Minister's eye.
I didn't expect that for the sake of two paintings, he would become like this, neither human nor ghost.
Mother Sun was very curious about what kind of painting could make people so obsessed.
For this painting, my cousin was willing to break up with her family and come to Beiyue Pass.
Mother Sun wanted to see with her own eyes what the painting looked like that could drive people crazy.
She was a little presbyopic, and she squeezed to the wall with all her might, looked up, and suddenly found that one of the two paintings looked familiar.
The painting on it shows galloping horses. There are six horses in total, each with a different expression.
Mother Sun tried to recall carefully, wondering where she had seen this painting before.
"Oh, I remember now."
This is the picture that Mother Sun saw when she went to the village outside Beijing to pick up Miss Qianqian. It is exactly the same as this one.
I can’t believe it! Are the paintings in Miss Qianqian’s shabby house so precious?
Mother Sun was about to get closer to see more clearly when she was suddenly pushed by someone. She staggered and almost fell.
I only heard the scholar next to me say, "Madam, please don't get too close to the painting, and don't touch it with your hands. This painting is priceless."
Another scholar quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, this painting is a treasure. We must ensure its safety. This is a masterpiece that will be passed down from generation to generation."
Mother Sun: Priceless? A masterpiece that will be passed down from generation to generation?
But this painting is clearly the same as the one in Miss Qianqian's room.
At that time, I had a narrow vision and thought it was funny that Miss Qianqian, who grew up in the countryside, actually imitated the city scholars and hung a painting on the wall.
But I didn’t expect that such a painting would be so highly praised by scholars and be priceless.
Miss Qianqian just hung such a priceless item in the mud house and let it get moldy and black. This is simply inhumane.
The main purpose of Granny Liu's trip to Beiyue Pass was to buy moisturizer for the master's family. She urged, "Mother Sun, didn't you say you wanted to talk to Miss Cousin about something? Hurry up and finish the matter so that we can go buy moisturizer."
Mother Sun came to her senses and thought, "Oh, that's right, how could I have forgotten the important matter?"
She came to the teahouse to look for her cousin.
Mother Sun squeezed into the easternmost corner and greeted her cousin.
"Miss cousin, Miss cousin——"
I shouted eight times in a row before I got a response from Wang Yuyan.
"Mother Sun, why are you here?"
"Cousin, I am following Madam's order to take Miss Baozhu back to Beijing, but Miss Baozhu is unwilling to go back. I hope you can help persuade her."
Wang Yuyan was copying the painting while talking to Mother Sun. She had already finished drawing one horse and was drawing the second one.
"Mother Sun, I'm busy and don't have time to persuade anyone. If she doesn't want to go back, let her stay in the inn. There are many girls going out to play anyway."
In the teahouse lobby alone, there were five talented ladies from all over the world sitting there.
However, the number of scholars was much greater than that of talented women, there were as many as two or three hundred scholars.
The number of women is much smaller than that of men, but it is already very difficult, because it is really not easy for an unmarried girl to travel far away.
Wang Yuyan was so hungry that her stomach growled, but she didn't want to put down her paintbrush, so she asked, "Mother Sun, I haven't had breakfast yet, please go buy me a bowl of beef noodles next door."
Mother Sun: It’s already noon, and my cousin hasn’t had breakfast yet?
If I had known that my cousin was unwilling to help, I would not have come here. Now she has to pay for the beef noodles out of her own pocket.
As a servant, she had no money at all.
Mother Sun quickly bought a bowl of beef noodles and fled, fearing that her cousin would ask her to help buy things again.
The place selling moisturizer is very close, just over 30 meters away from the Yinyue Teahouse.
Unfortunately, just like the Yinyue Teahouse, you have to queue.
There is a very long queue to send money, this business must be really profitable!
There were six female employees in the shop, all of them were busy serving customers.
After waiting for almost an incense stick of time, it was finally the turn of Grandma Sun and Mrs. Liu.
Mrs. Liu: "I want to buy 20 bottles of lotion."
The purchase went very smoothly, I paid the money and received the goods at the same time.
But when it came to Grandma Sun’s turn, it wasn’t possible.
Mother Sun: "I want to buy 100 bottles of moisturizer."
The female shopkeeper smiled warmly, "I'm sorry, sir, we don't have much stock left in our shop. You can pay half of the deposit first, and I suggest you come and pick up the goods in 5 days."
Mother Sun had originally wanted to stay in Beiyue Pass for a few more days, and now she had an excuse.
After paying the deposit, he returned to his residence and immediately asked someone to write a letter to Wang.
It was stated that because the quantity was large, it would take 5 days to pick up the goods.
During these five days, she would go to see Miss Qianqian, and also persuade Miss Baozhu to return to the capital with her.
If I fail to bring back Miss Baozhu, I will have a hard time explaining to the Master and the Madam.
