Chapter 80 Follow Miss Qianqian to Eat Meat
Mother Sun fumbled in her pocket for a long time, took out a string of copper coins tied with a red rope, and stuffed it into Shansheng's hand.
"Good boy, you must pass the exam and become a high-ranking official in the future."
At the instruction of Mrs. Wu, Shansheng accepted the money generously and said, "Thank you, Madam."
Mother Sun sighed in her heart that Mrs. Wu was really lucky to be with Miss Qianqian.
Originally, domestic slaves were of low status and could not take part in the imperial examinations.
But Miss Qianqian was very smart. She thought of a little trick and got the indentures of Mrs. Wu's family back from the old lady.
Everyone in the Lin family knew that Old Madam Lin was a very stingy person, so it was truly amazing to be able to take something from her.
Miss Qianqian also cleared Mrs. Wu's family into good official status, so that Shansheng could take part in the imperial examination and perhaps pass the examination and become a high-ranking official in the future.
By then, Mrs. Wu's family will be truly prosperous.
When Mother Sun thought of this, she was so envious of Mother Wu.
If she helps Miss Qianqian well, maybe she can become a winner in life like Mrs. Wu in the future?
Mrs. Wu was afraid that if she stayed in the yard it would disturb Shansheng's studies, so she pulled Mrs. Sun into the house and talked to her in private.
Four fruit plates were placed on the table, and a cup of scented tea was poured for Mother Sun.
"Mother Sun, have some sweet-scented osmanthus cake. You said it was delicious the last time you came over."
While eating, Grandma Sun chatted: "Old sister, you don't know, the Lin Mansion is very lively now."
As Mother Sun spoke, she glanced at Mrs. Wu who was sitting opposite her, and sighed in her heart that her favorite person to chat with was Mrs. Wu, who would sit beside her and listen attentively, nodding in agreement from time to time.
Make Mother Sun feel respected.
"Old sister, let me tell you, the lady in the mansion heard that the Silver Moon Moisturizing Cream can make people look younger, so she directly asked someone to order more than a thousand taels of silver worth of the moisturizing cream, but she hasn't received the goods yet."
"The master and the mistress had a quarrel over this. Hey, elder sister, you don't know that the Lin family is getting worse and worse. They wouldn't have quarreled over such a small amount of silver in the past."
When Mother Sun said this, she decided to work hard for Miss Qianqian and strive to gain her appreciation.
From the wonderful life of Mrs. Wu's family, we can conclude that following Miss Qianqian has much more prospects than following the Lin family.
Grandma Sun: "Old sister, let me tell you, even the old lady in the mansion is tempted by the sky-high price of the moisturizing cream. She sold one of the dowry shops of the former Madam Jiang and got 9,000 taels, and planned to use it all to buy the moisturizing cream. Everyone is like crazy."
When Mrs. Wu heard Madam Sun mention moisturizer, she suddenly remembered that Miss Qianqian had asked someone to bring back a lot of it from the border.
There are 10 bottles in total, and I can’t use them all. I might as well give one to Grandma Sun.
After all, Mother Sun has always treated her well, and Mother Sun said before that she was actually Miss Qianqian's person and was Miss Qianqian's spy hidden in the Lin Mansion.
Mrs. Wu got up and found the wooden box containing the moisturizer from the cupboard, brought it to Mrs. Sun and opened it.
"Mother Sun, I'll give you a bottle to use. This is too much for our family to use up."
The things in the box gave Mother Sun a big fright.
The words "Silver Moon" are written on the hollow small lid. Isn't this the small bottle of moisturizer that costs three hundred taels?
I heard that noble ladies in Beijing are now proud to own this moisturizer when attending banquets.
If you want to buy it, you have to queue for more than 10 days, but Mrs. Wu can take out 10 bottles of stock at once.
If I take this to a banquet, all those noble ladies will be so envious.
"Old sister, how come you have so many good things?"
Mrs. Wu explained, "This was sent back from the border by Miss Qianqian."
Mother Sun: No wonder he could come up with so many good things at once, it turns out they were given by Miss Qianqian.
"Old sister, these moisturizers are all good stuff, you have to keep them well. Now they are sold in the capital for 300 taels of silver per bottle, but they are not in stock yet. You have to wait in line for ten days or half a month."
Mrs. Wu suspected that she had a hearing problem: "Mother Sun, did I hear correctly? Can these really be sold for 300 taels of silver per bottle?"
If it was really that expensive, she would not be willing to give it to her family and would exchange it all for silver so that she could give Miss Qianqian a decent dowry when she got married.
"Really? It's more real than real gold. Sister, I won't lie to you. If you are willing to sell it, I will help you sell it and try."
Mother Sun thought that the stock was in great demand and if she raised the price it might sell out quickly. She could then try selling it for 400 taels of silver. If it couldn't be sold, the price would definitely not be less than 300 taels.
"Mother Sun, I said I would give you a box before, so take it. This is what Miss Qianqian had someone bring back from Beiyue Pass. Please help sell the remaining nine bottles."
How could Mrs. Sun have the nerve to accept such expensive things? These are all favors. If you take something from someone, you have to return it later.
"Old sister, this thing has been sold for three hundred taels of silver in the capital, so you should keep it for yourselves. I am too old to use such a precious thing."
Although he said this, he couldn't bear to let go.
Mrs. Wu was a very honest person. She stuffed the bottle into Grandma Sun's hand and said, "I told you that I gave it to you. There is no reason to take back what you have given away. Don't worry about it, Grandma Sun. Just consider it as the reward for helping to sell the other nine bottles."
Mother Sun reluctantly agreed, "Okay then."
This time, Mother Sun had a meal with wine and meat in Mrs. Wu's oil shop again, and was taken back to the Lin Mansion by Mrs. Wu's son in a donkey cart.
Lying on the servant's bed in the Lin Mansion, holding the small porcelain jar of moisturizer in his hand, he sighed and realized that there was indeed a future in following Miss Qianqian.
The Lin family was reluctant to give their servants a body cream worth three hundred taels, but Miss Qianqian directly asked someone to send more than ten boxes to Mrs. Wu for her use.
Oh, Miss Qianqian is so generous.
Follow Miss Qianqian and you will have meat to eat.
If they could sell all the remaining nine bottles, Mrs. Wu and her family could buy some land in the suburbs of Beijing and become small landlords.
The land in the capital is more expensive than land in remote areas, but it is only twenty or thirty taels per mu. Three thousand taels can buy hundreds of mu of land.
After using the moisturizing cream for two days, Wang found that three hundred taels a can was not expensive at all. Even if it was one thousand taels a bottle, the noble ladies in the capital would rush to buy it.
The effect is so good. After only two days of use, the fine lines at the corners of my eyes are no longer visible and my skin has become much whiter and tenderer.
It's a pity that the things didn't last long and there's only a little left.
She had already paid more than one thousand taels of silver in advance and asked someone to buy the goods at three hundred yuan a bottle. It would take more than ten days to receive the goods.
Wang was very anxious and wanted to get the thing immediately.
It's not just about rushing to apply on the skin.
It is almost the end of the year and there are more and more banquets in various governments.
Others can take out moisturizer to show off at the banquet, but she would be so embarrassed if she couldn't.
