053 Show your magical power
Since Na Jia Wanliang got a free activity, the business of Qingzhi Beauty Salon has plummeted. Within a few days, it has reached the level of "menkeroque".
In addition to being anxious, Murong Xueyan couldn't figure out how to deal with it for a while. The "free" used in the opposite house is already the most attractive means. In addition, what other benefits can attract customers here? She can't stick it upside down!
Counting that this time I came to Haozhou, renting a house, buying a store, purchasing equipment, and recruiting employees, all kinds of expenses can be regarded as a large number. This beauty salon has been open for more than a month. Although the income is not small, if you want to return the cost, it can only be regarded as the tip of the iceberg and a diff of a cow!
After several days of continuous worry, coupled with lack of sleep, Murong Xueyan saw her appearance in the mirror and felt very haggard.
The business of Jia's beauty salon opposite is simply a thousand miles a day. Naturally, Murong Xueyan can also see that there are some "customers" bought by Jia Wanliang to cheer for them. Because these "customers" come every day, and they are full of praise for the service attitude of Jia's beauty salon and other aspects every day, recommending everyone to wear makeup and lock in this family from now on. One day, Jia Qianjin, Jia Wanliang's daughter, also came.
However, she didn't come to make up, but came to Qingzhi Beauty Salon to show her face to Murong Xueyan.
"The surname is Mu. How's it? Can't beat my father?" Jia Qianjin smiled and said, "Since you can't fight, you should close the door earlier, so that you don't have to mislead others and yourself here."
"Thank you, Miss Jia, for your attention. I can still hold on here, and I won't become your mother-in-law from your father.
"The concubine's mother? Do you mean that my father has a fancy to you? Jia Qianjin obviously didn't know that there was such a thing. At the moment, she looked stunned and said, "Isn't it to help me vent my anger after calculating with him for so long, but to fall in love with you?"
"You see, you hate me, and I don't have a good impression on you. If one day we live under the same roof, either you make me angry or I'm annoyed by you. So, can you tell your father not to think about me?" Mu Kong Xueyan saw Jia Qianjin's disapproving attitude, so she took the opportunity to beg her.
"My father will like you?" Jia Qianjin still didn't believe it. "Your surname is Mu, aren't you sticking gold on your face?"
"Is there such a thing? Just go back and ask your father. Let me tell you, my fiance was so angry that he punched your father twice a few days ago..."
"So you shot the wound on my father's eye?" Jia Qianjin was so angry that she was about to wave over with a slap in the face.
Murong Xueyan had expected it, avoided it quickly, and retorted, "That's because your shameless old man touched me. My fiance was angry, so I taught him a lesson, Miss Jia, this is my place. Don't think I'm your maid, you have to punch and kick."
"You..." Jia Qianjin was so angry that she trembled all over, and her head was full of beads and jade hairpins.
"For your own future happiness, I suggest that you cultivate yourself more at home and go out less."
"Self-cultivation? Are you praising me?" Jia Qianjin didn't understand the meaning of the words.
Murong Xueyan suppressed her smile and said, "If you think I'm praising you, then I'll praise you. I really don't think I have anything to say to you. Please come back."
"Wait, I won't let you enter my door and ride on my head!" Before leaving, Jia Qianjin said harsh words.
I hope her visit can wake her up in a crazy state. Murong Xueyan prayed secretly.

North Qi.
The empress dowager summoned, and Nangong Yi entered the palace for a banquet. When she passed the imperial garden, she was blocked by the imperial concubine Yan.
"See the noble concubine." Nangong Yi bowed and worshipped, which was completely in line with the courtesy of the minister to the imperial concubine.
"Yi, do we need to do this?" Concubine Yan bullied him with tender eyes, "Tell me, why don't you go to the appointment on the Mid-Autumn Festival?"
"Your concubine, the empress dowager has something important to do. I have to leave." Nangong Yi got up and said a speech.
Such a strange tone, such an estrange attitude... Yan Guifei was lost for a while, and then a smile surged again on her face and said, "The Empress Dowager did not summon you."
"You..." Nangong Yi looked at Yan Guifei in consternment.
"That's right, it's me who faked the Empress Dowager's decree." Yan Guifei said with her head held high.
"Why is the noble concubine like this?" Nangong Yi asked coldly.
Concubine Yan approached him and asked instead, "Why didn't you call me 'Yun'er', Yi, have you changed your mind?"
"Yes. I'm in love with someone else." Nangong Yi said without hiding, "Unfortunately, when I found that I fell in love with her wholeheartedly and could no longer accommodate a second person in my heart, she was no longer with me."
"What's good about that little girl Murong Xueyan? When we were together, she was..."
"Whether she is or not has nothing to do with you." Nangong Yi said, "There is a break between us. You can be your noble concubine at ease, and I will still be my king of Jing.
"You!" Concubine Yan shouted angrily, "I tell you, Nangongyi, if you dare not listen to me, I will tell the emperor and the empress dowager our relationship!"
"Have we ever had any relationship?" Nangong Yi sneered, "What's more, with your personality, it is impossible to tell the Empress Dowager about this. You don't love me or the emperor, but your powerful position today. Moreover, you look at the back position, and it is impossible for you to lose yourself for me.
"..." Concubine Yan never thought that Nangong Yi would see her so thoroughly for a moment.
"If you still care about our previous friendship, answer me honestly. Does Cher's original injury have anything to do with you?"
"What does it have to do with me? Are you going to cut me in the face to avenge her? The Noble Concubine Yan countered without scruples.
"It's really you. You really disappoint me. I really didn't expect you to become like this. Nangong Yi was extremely disappointed and left without a trace of attachment.
"Nan Gongyi, you will regret if you refuse me this time!" Concubine Yan shouted angrily.
Regret... Nangong Yi listened to it and felt sarcastic. Many years ago, he watched her marry someone else, and there was nothing he could do. He regretted that he didn't take her away. Not long ago, Murong Xueyan left quietly when he was away, and he could not only do anything, but he didn't even know where she was going. He regretted his stupidity and didn't see her in time. The determination to leave... And now, what else is worth his regret? He has lost too many times and can't hold anything.
Alone, is this his ending? Or, God's punishment for him?

As soon as Jia Qianjin got home, she angrily went to the Buddhist hall to tell her mother, who was reading the scriptures, about her father's idea of accepting the tenth concubine.
Jia Wanliang's original match, Yuan, was decided by Jia Wanliang's parents when he was young. It's just that the marriage was doomed without happiness from the beginning. Less than half a year after marriage, when Yuan was pregnant, she found that her husband often went out early and came back late, and always heard rumors about her husband lingerangling in the place of fireworks in the mouth of the maid. Sure enough, within two days, her husband hesitated to mention the matter of getting a concubine. Concubine... She is a lady from a famous family. She has always abided by women's morality. She also knows that it is natural for a man to have three wives and four concubines, so she did not refuse and nodded sadly. This can be regarded as a convenient door for her husband's romantic and lust. With the first concubine, there is a second and a third...
When she was 23 years old, she gave birth to her daughter Jia Qianjin for Jia Wanliang. In the mirror, she still has a beautiful face. She is not too old, but she is already "the beauty is broken before she is old". Her personality is not cowardly, but she is too virtuous and rigid. She is too obedient to her husband and tolerant of the rest of the concubines in the family. However, the real head of the family is the second wife Diao, who entered the door in the same year as her.
When she was 25 years old, Jia Wan got a third concubine.
Yuan has always believed that she is different from those concubines who married. They are either greedy for the Jia family's wealth or afraid of the Jia family's power, but most of them have no true feelings. And only she married into the Jia family according to her parents' orders. Jia Wanliang was the only man in her life. Because of this, she put all her feelings on him. When they had their first child, she thought that the appearance of the child could strengthen the relationship between them. But...
Jia Wanliang married another woman when she was pregnant with a child for him. Her heart was crushed fiercely, but she had to pretend to be indifferent and generous to agree to his request for a concubine. She can bear it if she shares her husband with another woman. There are two mistresses in the family, and she can also bear it. But...
When the third hostess appeared in the family, she couldn't stand it anymore. For this reason, she went to Jia Wanliang to argue, and the result was naturally completely injured. From then on, she was disheartened and let go of everything in the Jia family. Originally, with her own wrist, Diao seized the power of the Jia family in less than half a year. Her match was useless. Now, she thinks that her son and daughter have helped Jia Wan's life, and the "task" of passing on to the family is completed. She feels that she can "retire with success".
As for how she wants to "recede", she has already planned. She went to Jia Wanliang and proposed to set up a Buddhist temple at home. She wanted to stay in the temple for a long time and pray for the Jia family. Jia Wanliang couldn't ask for it, and now he readily promised. So, a Buddhist temple separated everything between her and the Jia family.
Inside the Buddhist hall is her plain and personal world; outside the Buddhist hall, there are groups of concubines and the smoky Jia family... She learned about Jia Wanliang's later concubines from the mouths of her children. After she retired from the Buddhist hall, the upbringing of her children fell on the wet nurse at home.
"Mom, you have to talk to Dad and tell him to stop tossing. This time he took a fancy to another woman, that woman... The daughter looked about the same age as her daughter! And he also has a fiance!" Jia Qianjin stamped her feet in anger.
"Dear daughter, you should know that there is nothing you can do about your father." Yuan shook his head.
"Mother, if you want to be strong, don't let your father fool around!"
Yuan's expression was so plain that Jia Qianjin was very disappointed: "If my mother could manage it, your father would not have married nine concubines at the beginning. Now it's nothing for my mother to marry another one..."
"Mother, what are you talking about? Look at what the house is like! If it hadn't been for the family like this, how could my daughter be disliked and divorced? If you don't want to take care of it, I'll go find Er Niang!"
"My daughter..." Yuan shouted, but saw her daughter run away like a gust of wind.
