Shi Anxia confessed to her mother and aunt beside her, and walked towards Xie Ruolan.
She made a junior salute and said, "I have met Mrs. Xie."
Although their age difference is not much, General Xie's age and status are there.
Zhao Ruolan was born into a wealthy family and had no shortage of food and clothing, but she was often discriminated against in the aristocratic circles in the capital.
She never liked to attend these gatherings. Today, she reluctantly came because she received a name-dropping invitation from the Princess Mansion.
She planned to sit down and leave, but she didn’t think about staying long.
After marrying Xie Wei for two years, Zhao Ruolan has been living with her husband at the border. This time I am returning to Beijing to celebrate my great-aunt's birthday, and will leave for the border to meet my husband in three days.
Zhao Ruolan hurriedly stood up to greet Shi Anxia, her expression a little shy, "How can Miss Shi recognize me?"
Shi Anxia smiled and said, "Don't Mrs. Xie recognize me too? ?"
Zhao Ruolan couldn't help but smile, "It's okay to not recognize our General Xie in the capital, but if you don't recognize Miss Shi, who is famous in the capital, you are blind."
Shi Anxia said solemnly and sincerely, "Without General Xie defending our country on the border, how could we not have the prosperity of the capital and the tranquility of the north wing? How could we recite poems and enjoy flowers in this prosperous age?"
Originally, when these words were spoken from the mouth of a little girl, they seemed to be exaggerated and empty talk. But I don't know why, although her tone is plain, her words are powerful and can penetrate deeply into people's hearts.
Of course, if the listener is not Zhao Ruolan, but a person like Princess Chanyu who only knows pleasure and does not know the cruelty of war or the hardships of the frontier, then it is all in vain.
Maybe people will give you a blank look, thinking that you are a high-profile person and a talker.
It’s different if the listener is Zhao Ruolan.
Her husband was a general, and she lived with her husband on the border for two full years. She knows better than anyone how bitter, cold, tragic and heroic it is.
In this way, Zhao Ruolan developed a good impression of Shi Anxia.
The two of them sat down.
The maid next to Zhao Ruolan immediately kept close to her wife as if she was facing a powerful enemy.
Shi Anxia bent her eyes and smiled, "Mrs. Xie, your maid really protects her master, she is afraid that I will eat you."
Zhao Ruolan said this Then he turned around and found the maid Xiangli standing close behind him, and couldn't help but smile, "Xiangli, don't be nervous, Miss Shi doesn't mean any harm."
Shi Anxia sneered in her heart. I don't mean any harm, but you are not a good maid. This guy is very spoiled.
She said gently without showing anything on her face, "Mrs. >
Zhao Ruolan was quite flattered when he heard this.
She has learned enough about how much Beijing Xungui despises businessmen.
The family she married earlier was either from the capital or from Wanzhou.The family is of a distinguished family, and their ancestors have produced several high-ranking officials.
But because their descendants failed to live up to expectations, lost their titles, and could not survive in the capital, they all moved back to their hometown in Wanzhou.
That family is ridiculous. Because she helped her grandfather a small favor in the early years, they wanted to repay the favor and insisted on marrying her little aunt to make his family's sick and consumptive man happy.
Her little aunt is stubborn and ran away overnight. Now she doesn’t know whether she is dead or alive.
My grandfather sighed and was forced to suffer terribly.
In the end, it was she, the eldest granddaughter, who took the initiative to marry her aunt. At that time, she was only fourteen years old and had not yet had haircuts.
On the night of the wedding, before the wedding wine was over, the short-lived ghost died.
The family also called her a cheat.
Her reputation as a naughty husband directly affected the marriage plans of all the daughters of the Zhao family.
Someone with a mean temper would blame her and scold her; but most girls from the Zhao family understood her situation and knew her difficulties.
Nowadays, more than half of the girls from the Zhao family either recruit a son-in-law or simply don’t get married and just do business with their men.
The reason why she was able to escape from that vampire family and marry General Xie was not only the strength of General Xie, but also the help of the Zhao family.
That family used to use her dowry and money from her Zhao family, but they kept saying they looked down on people who were in business.
One by one, "You, the Zhao family, are low-income people"!
So she knew that these so-called nobles liked glory, wealth, gold and silver, but they looked down on business and felt that it smelled like copper.
This was the first time that Zhao Ruolan heard a noble lady talk so openly about finding a way to sell porcelain to Wanzhou, and it was also the first time that Zhao Ruolan saw real respect from a noble lady.
She responded softly, "How much An porcelain does Miss Shi have, but it needs to be transported by water? Our Zhao family has a waterway cargo ship, and we also have a porcelain shop in Wanzhou. Not only Wanzhou, but also Suzhou and Huizhou. , As long as the quality can be guaranteed, nothing else should be a problem."
Shi Anxia could hear Zhao Ruolan's sincerity. This was not just a perfunctory remark for ordinary entertainment, it was something real and could be arranged. I want to join forces with her to do business.
With a smile in her eyes, she said, "Thanks to Madam's words, I feel relieved. The An porcelain we sell are all of the highest quality, and there are even rare varieties that are hard to see on the market. Change If you have time tomorrow, please Madam Xie, please come and hold the eyes for me."
"Okay." Zhao Ruolan agreed readily, "But I will leave for southern Xinjiang as early as possible in three days. Please give me enough time to make some arrangements so that I can inform our cousins in charge of this line in the Zhao family."
Shi Anxia secretly sighed, Mrs. Xie is really a very honest person. ah!
She originally used business as a topic to make it familiar, thinking that there would be some common language to facilitate the conversation. But he didn't expect that a business deal would be concluded in just a few words.
It’s still a big deal!
This business has to go to Wanzhou, Suzhou, and Huizhou. Why worry that their prince's mansion has no money?
If just now An Xia only approached Zhao Ruolan because she wanted to solve today's disaster, but now she wants to make friends with her from the bottom of her heart.
As expected, there is no skill in chatting and communicating, sincerity is the surefire skill. She said sincerely, "Mrs. Xie, please don't call me Miss Shi. How about you call me An Xia?"
Zhao Ruolan felt a ripple in her heart.
Although she has a weak temperament, she is not competitive, she is also stupid, and she does not know how to talk back when she is scolded. But she was like a mirror in her heart.
She can tell which people are hiding their secrets in their smiles, who are hiding their secrets in their lies, and who are being clear-eyed and speaking without any serious intentions.
For example, the maid Xiangli she brought today is the granddaughter of Mother Jiang from her aunt's courtyard.
This girl... She felt that she had to talk to her aunt when she got back. Her mind was too lively to be used.
On the contrary, the lady in front of her was different from everyone she knew.
Innocent and simple? No, this is clearly a girl with a plan.
But this girl has the most sincere kindness in her eyes, which makes people trust her without reason.
And Zhao Ruolan clearly felt that this girl came to talk to her, not just to talk about Anci's business.
Something like... protecting her? She wasn't sure of that. It's just that I intuitively feel that the other party has absolutely no ill intentions.
Zhao Ruolan thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "An Xia, don't call me Mrs. Xie, how about you call me Ruolan?"
