Chapter 152 Account
“Mother, are you going to make me go back to school again? I’ve already told you I don’t want to go. All those students do is boast or flatter, I really don’t like it.”
"Then you'd better tone it down! You're always hanging out with shady characters, and you never even realize when you've said something wrong."
Princess Jin didn't waste any more words with her son. She pulled her daughter-in-law over, and the two of them got together to examine the fabrics in the shop.
"The fabrics from her shop do feel quite nice. Although they can't compare to those bestowed by the emperor, they are reasonably priced. These days, money is needed for everything at home, so it would be good to save some money."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had their own goals, and the second son couldn't leave directly, so he could only wait inside.
After finishing with the other guests, Yun Qingjin immediately rushed to the Second Young Master's side.
The princess and her entourage traveled incognito without revealing their identities. Although Yun Qingjin already knew who they were, she did not expose them.
Custom-made clothing is still a relatively new concept, and most people who come here are hesitant to buy in large quantities; they're more inclined to give it a try.
Yun Qingjin doesn't discriminate against customers; she tries her best to introduce everyone, no matter who they are.
"We currently have a limited number of materials and styles available, so each person is limited to purchasing one custom-made garment."
Previously, the Princess Consort of Jin's household supplies were all procured by the imperial court, so she didn't need to worry about them much. Now, seeing that the quality of the materials used by ordinary people was no less than that of everyday items, she became quite interested.
Her son clearly had a soft spot for this young business owner, and although their social statuses differed, the mother didn't want to dampen his enthusiasm.
Yun Qingjin wanted to establish connections with the entire Prince Jin's mansion, so she took the initiative to offer to deliver materials directly to the mansion.
Princess Jin did not agree directly. Instead, she first ordered a new set of clothes for herself and her daughter-in-law and set a time for picking up the goods.
Yun Qingjin wasn't in a hurry; connecting with others wasn't something that could be resolved quickly.
Perhaps because there were so many people around, even in the guest rooms in the backyard, the noise from outside immediately reached us.
Princess Jin disliked crowded places and was afraid of revealing her identity, so she didn't stay long and prepared to leave.
When they went out, they unexpectedly ran into the Changxing Marquis's family.
However, the two families seemed to be on the same wavelength, recognizing each other but not saying much to each other.
The second young master, in particular, originally wanted to go up and greet Xie Minghao, the eldest son of Marquis Changxing, but was dragged away by his sister-in-law.
Yun Qingjin saw all of this.
When seeing the person off, Yun Qingjin immediately stepped forward to explain.
"Madam, do you have some kind of grudge against the Marquis of Changxing's family? I'm really sorry, I don't know. But rest assured, I will never allow both of your families to visit at the same time in the future. If you do, I will arrange for both of your families to be at a distance."
Taking a step back to advance is a strategy that Yun Qingjin has devised over the years in business.
When faced with an unexpected situation, admit your mistake first, give a rather absurd answer, and then try to trick the other party into revealing the truth.
As expected, the second young master became anxious after hearing these words.
"Oh dear, Boss Yun, this isn't your fault. Who knows how it suddenly happened..."
"Yes, we do have some disagreements with Marquis Changxing, but it's nothing serious." Seeing that her son was about to ruin things, Princess Jin quickly interrupted him to stop him from continuing.
"Of course, as my son said, this is not Xiaoyun's fault. But thank you for your trouble in arranging this."
Princess Jin was clearly very shrewd, as she did not directly state the reason for her actions.
"Thank you so much, Boss Xiaoyun, for your thoughtful arrangements today. It has truly broadened my horizons. Don't worry, I'll come back to pick out a few more items when you have some free time."
Yun Qingjin immediately followed suit, "Madam, what are you saying? It should be me who delivers it to your residence."
"Then I'll leave the garments to the young boss. That's it for now, you don't need to deliver them. We'll come back to pick them up in half a month, as you just said."
Although the second young master really wanted to stay and see this young boss, Ms. Yun, his mother and sister-in-law couldn't leave without seeing her off, so he had to send her back first. He kept turning his head away along the way, quite reluctant to part with her.
"Second brother, take your sister-in-law and me home first today. You've been idling around all day."
Yun Qingjin kept watching the carriage of this group of people until it disappeared from sight.
This is not a good situation. This Princess Consort of Jin is no ordinary person.
Yun Qingjin had dealt with many people in the capital, but unfortunately, she had very few opportunities to interact with this Princess Jin, both in her past and present lives, making it difficult to grasp her temperament.
Even his eldest daughter-in-law, the wife of the Prince of Jin, Yun Qingjin, had basically never been in contact with him.
My words and actions today were basically normal; I treated them as ordinary people.
Let's just say they were neither servile nor arrogant, and provided thorough hospitality.
But what should we do next?
Did the Prince of Jin suddenly have a quarrel with the Emperor? And he doesn't want the Empress Dowager to take responsibility?
Although the current outcome is that the Empress Dowager has committed suicide out of fear of punishment, it seems that the Prince of Jin has indeed become much more distant from his own brother.
The recent disputes between Prince Jin and his ministers in the imperial court are known even to ordinary people.
The Prince of Jin is truly exceptional; recently, he suddenly impeached all the ministers whom the Emperor trusted.
There were even those who targeted the virtuous and kind-hearted Empress. The memorials submitted directly accused the Empress of being a hen crowing at dawn, excessively interfering in state affairs, and detrimental to the government.
They even suggested that the Grand Tutor Fan should produce all the novel weapons that had been provided, giving the impression that they were about to launch a military campaign to take over the remaining two countries that had not yet surrendered.
"This kind of thing that happened in the court has been brought to the streets... The key question is how could such a situation have... been brought to the streets and become known to the whole world?"
Business was busy for two days, and Yun Yuke was also away from the capital to investigate other matters.
It always involves secrets of the imperial court, and you can't talk about it too much with the other people in the shop.
Although Yun Qingjin didn't quite understand, she kept quiet about it.
"Mother, where did you go?" Yun Qingjin twisted her wrist, revealing a special bracelet on her wrist.
It was none other than the vibrant rose that Yun Yuke had secretly kept.
About ten days ago, Yun Yuke planned to go out, and before leaving, she specifically handed over her collection of rose jewelry to Yun Qingjin.
“Qingqing, Mother still has to go out to investigate some things. Your sister Yuanchen is taking care of things at the shop, so I'm not worried. But this trip might be a bit dangerous, so I'm entrusting this to you first. It might come in handy at a critical moment.”
