She did have money, but the gold bars in her space were inconvenient to take out and use. If others asked, she would not be able to tell the appropriate source.
Nanny Wu was a little embarrassed for a moment. "That thing has to be imported from abroad. It is only available in those foreign companies. It should be very expensive. Sister Jin may not agree to it."
"I plan to buy it myself. You can go to the foreign bank tomorrow and ask if it is available and what the price is." Su Qiao slowly turned the pen in his hand, thinking about the solution.
"Okay!" Nanny Wu hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
"But miss, where can you get so much money?"
That's no small sum of money.
Recorders, gramophones, cassettes, and compact discs all add up to a lot of money.
Yingzi rolled his eyes and suddenly interjected. "Miss, I think that Young Master Chu likes you very much. He just sent someone to give you a lot of gifts. Why don't you give him a try?"
"His father is a handsome man and his family is powerful. Isn't this kind of thing just a matter of words?"
Nanny Wu glanced at her sideways. "Yingzi, shut up!"
"Who is our lady? Do you really think of her as one of those dancers in the ballroom?"
"If it hadn't been for an accident at home and an eye injury, do you think the young lady would be here?"
"With your talent, if these things hadn't happened, you should be studying abroad now!"
Although Su Qiao is usually taciturn and doesn't fight or fight, her blind-sighted and calm aura is not something that ordinary women can have.
In the palace, she had seen many concubines, even Empress, but she really couldn't pick one with such magnanimity.
Even if they have this magnanimity, do they know two foreign languages? Do they write and compose their own songs? Can they draw? Will he just go on stage and sing and attract so many literati, businessmen and celebrities to invite him?
Even if Tang Meina is so famous and so many people used to support him, how many of them actually sent formal invitations?
Yingzi was a little stunned. "But... but isn't the lady already here? No matter how good you were in the past, you still have to accept the reality."
In her heart, the young lady's current life is already the best.
Good food and drink, good housing, good clothing, and so many people following you. People send invitations and gifts every day. What's wrong with this?
Su Qiao smiled and nodded calmly, "Yingzi is right. The matter has come to this, and we have to accept the reality."
"But one thing you have to understand is that a capable person can rely on his own ability to make a living no matter where he goes, but an incompetent person cannot keep his country even if he is allowed to sit on the throne."
"Just like me, although I was bought by Sister Jin with money, with my voice, my ability to write songs, my ability to play various musical instruments, and my knowledge of more than one foreign language, even if I am blind, I still have the capital to not serve and flatter the customers like other dancers."
This is called relying on talent to make a living.
Nanny Wu nodded in agreement. "Miss, you are absolutely right. With your current talent and ability, you don't have to do things like drinking or dancing with someone to lower your status."
The women who come to places like Xianle Mansion to make a living are all people who have little ability and cannot live on their own. Otherwise, who would want to do this kind of job of greeting people with a smile every day, serving people, and being looked down upon?
