She originally wanted Qi Xiuzhe to teach Qin Wu a lesson, but Qi Xiuzhe had been staying at the Minister of Rites' house for several days to investigate the case because of the death of the Minister of Rites' concubine and rumors that an evil ghost was seeking revenge.
This charcoal needed to be used urgently, so she had no choice but to lower her attitude and let Qin Wu sell the charcoal to her.
Anyway, she has plenty of opportunities to cure her!
"Princess, the Marquis accidentally fell down two days ago and is unable to move." Wang Xiang quickly replied, "Otherwise, the Marquis would have come to tell you in person."
It was true. It was also an excuse that she didn't want to see Qin Wu. She was afraid that she would be angry and say something unpleasant, so Qin Wu wouldn't even sell her coal.
Qiu Shuang knew about this. "Miss, Wang Xiang didn't lie. Two days ago, the Marquis' wife stepped on a piece of silver and slipped, injuring her leg. The court doctor came to her house, and I heard that she can't walk anymore..."
Qiu Shuang secretly added in her heart, why didn't she throw Wang to death, so that she wouldn't have to embarrass her young lady.
"So that's how it is." Qin Wu nodded.
"Princess, look..."
"The price of charcoal outside is ridiculously expensive now. For example, the charcoal I am using now costs at least ten taels of silver for ten kilograms."
...
...
"Ah?" Wang Xiang widened his eyes.
Qin Wu added calmly, "But since we are still a family, I will give you a discount. Ten kilograms of charcoal for five taels of silver."
"One hundred jin of charcoal, fifty taels."
"By the way, I wanted to help my mother with some chrysanthemums a few days ago. Go back and ask her for her opinion."
"If you agree, and take fifty taels, I will have someone deliver ten kilograms of charcoal every day."
And the charcoal is not given directly at one time.
Aren’t you going to make things difficult for the people in Lichunyuan?
Qin Wu naturally had to retaliate.
Wang was so frustrated that she almost vomited blood. Ten pounds of charcoal cost five taels of silver. Why didn't she just rob it?
It just so happens that the market price of the charcoal that Wang Qiang mentioned has already been driven up to ten catties and ten ounces, while Qin Wu’s charcoal is top-quality charcoal and is half the price.
If she can't get charcoal from Qin Wu this time, she will either raise the price higher next time or just stop selling it altogether.
Wang's temples were throbbing with anger.
In the end, he endured it and agreed, and let Cui Ju go with Wang Xiang.
Cui Ju knelt on the ground and begged, "Madam, the Crown Prince's wife asked me to come over. She must want to torture me. Isn't this a slap in the face, Madam?"
"Madam, you, you can't let the Crown Prince's Consort step on your head."
Nanny Lin also mentioned Cui Ju, "Yes, Madam, the Crown Prince's Consort has no filial piety at all. She didn't come to express her gratitude when you fell and injured yourself. She asked for charcoal and money, and even let the maid who served you be taught a lesson by her. This clearly shows that she doesn't take you seriously. Madam, you can't let her do as she wishes."
Wang's sinister eyes were gleaming with knife-like light. She said sternly to Nanny Lin and Cui Ju, "Then go get me some charcoal!"
"Didn't you say that Qin Yinnuan will be a member of our Qi family in the future? I asked her for help and she gave me charcoal. But what charcoal did she use to fool me?"
"And you!" Wang pointed at Cui Ju who was kneeling on the ground. "Don't you usually speak for me? I asked you to go to Qin Yinnuan to get some charcoal, but you brought back this kind of charcoal, and I got scolded by the old lady!"
"If you can't get me some charcoal to help me solve my problems, shut up right now!"
"Otherwise, I will sell you all out!"
"Every one of them is useless!"
Nanny Lin shut up completely and didn't dare to say any more in front of the angry Wang.
Cui Ju was also taken to Qin Wu's yard by Wang Xiang.
On the Autumnal Equinox, he collected ten kilograms of charcoal for Wang Xiang.
Cui Ju stayed and knelt in front of Qin Wu, with her head lowered and her body trembling slightly.
Qin Wu coaxed little Nuonuo to sleep, and asked Nanny Li to carry little Nuonuo back to the room to sleep.
Looking at Qiu Shuang, Qin Wu said to her, "Scratch your face back the same way she scratched it last time."
Qiu Shuang opened her eyes wide and looked at Qin Wu, tears welled up in her eyes, "Miss, are you helping me to get revenge?"
"What else?" Qin Wu's eyes fell coldly on Cui Ju, "No one can bully my people except me."
"Hit me."
Qiu Shuang's eyes were filled with emotion. She straightened her chest and proudly replied, "Yes, Miss."
"Please forgive me, Princess. I know I was wrong. Please let me go. I will never do it again..."
"Pah." Qiu Shuang slapped him hard, "I told you not to scold my young lady! I told you not to slander my young lady..."
Qiu Shuang returned all the anger she had felt for Cui Ju's ridicule and bullying a few days ago, and she felt so happy.
She felt furious when she thought of her arrogantly saying that if she followed Qin Wu, she would have to eat dog food, starve to death, and be a lowly maid all her life, and would never be able to turn over a new leaf just like her master.
Now, she wanted to let her see how good her master was to her!
Not only did he not let her go hungry, he was also so nice to her and helped her vent her anger!
There is no other lady in the world who is so good to her servants. In this life, even if she dies, she will stay by the lady's side and serve her.
Cui Ju's face was swollen, and Qiu Shuang finally stopped.
Let’s see if she dares to scold her young lady again in the future.
In the imperial city, people from the government office hired some civilian workers to clear the snow from the streets.
As soon as the snow was cleared, a thin layer of snow fell again.
The road is clear.
The carriage moved slowly to prevent it from slipping.
Jingxianliu Restaurant.
Qin Wu got off the carriage and walked into the restaurant.
"The phoenix has returned to the side room." Qin Wu just spoke to the shopkeeper.
"I want the Fenggui wing room!" Qin Wu had just finished speaking when a soft voice grabbed it with confidence.
Qin Wu turned her head and looked at the person who was robbing the side room.
With a round and smooth face, holding a snow-white cat in her hands, she looks so noble. Isn't this the third princess, Zhou Huzhu?
Standing next to Zhou Huzhu was an elegant and graceful man, and a weak and delicate-looking woman dressed in white.
"My lady, I'm sorry, Miss Qin has already reserved the Fenggui Wing." The shopkeeper smiled and said tactfully, "We still have the Suzaku Wing, and the dishes are similar to those at Fenggui."
Jingxianliu Restaurant is the best and most special restaurant in Beijing, and the customers here are either rich or noble.
There are twelve rooms in the restaurant, and each room has different specialties. The restaurant creates themed dishes that are deeply loved by the nobles.
The restaurant's private rooms usually need to be booked in advance.
The rooms are almost always full every day.
It’s just that it snowed heavily these days and few people went out, so business in the store was a little quiet.
Qin Wu had previously asked someone to book a private room at Jingxianliu Restaurant to invite the Third Prince and Yang Zhanying to dinner.
The snow was a little lighter today, and Zhou Huzhu could not resist the request of her husband and her cousin to go out for a walk.
It was almost time for dinner, so they planned to find a restaurant to eat.
The prince consort's cousin, Shen Ling'er, originally wanted to eat hot pot.
Zhou Huzhu was very dissatisfied with Qin Yinnuan because of the incident between Qin Yinnuan and Qi Xiuzhe in the palace last time.
She didn't want to go to Qin Yinnuan's hot pot restaurant to support him at all, although she also liked eating hot pot.
Unable to bear it, Shen Ling'er said that she had never eaten it and wanted to try it, and with the prince consort pleading for her, she came over here.
Just then she saw Qin Wu going to the Jingxianliu Restaurant, which was diagonally opposite the hot pot restaurant. She immediately changed her mind and brought the two of them to this restaurant for dinner.
