Chapter 243: Full of Friends
Other businesses are similar, all the shops of Lu Wanqin that she once deliberately destroyed are basically shining in a new way, either with big rewards or new product launches, in short, there are endless ways to attract customers.
On the other hand, the shop she opened nearby also lost a lot of customers, which caused her business to get worse and worse, and she no longer had extra silver to support the upgrading of the goods in the shop.
She knew that if she continued in such a vicious circle, she would be completely dragged down by Bai Hibiscus, because Bai Hibiscus's silver would only increase, and her business would only get better and better.
And because he was in a hurry to repay his debts, he had to take out all the silver that was originally used for turnover and return it to Bai Hibiscus, which was simply a worse thing.
In desperation, she had no choice but to change her old jewelry and those expensive clothes that she had not worn or only worn once, and sold them in her shop.
Fortunately, she has a ready-to-wear shop and a jewelry store in her name, so she doesn't have to hang it up at someone else's house to sell it on consignment, which saves a lot of trouble and money. And because of the addition of these treasures, the business of the two shops has also turned around.
After all, the things she bought at the beginning were all rare to buy outside, and the wives of rich and noble families rarely went back to buy ready-to-wear clothes, but they were all made with materials and the best tailors, and the clothes in the ready-to-wear shops were sold to those who did not have good tailors at home.
Therefore, when those guests saw such beautiful and delicate clothes, they would naturally be happy to hunt their hearts, so recently, the Lu family only relied on these two shops to earn some silver.
She was also secretly glad that at least Bai Hibiscus had not been able to block all her path, which allowed her to catch her breath, but ...... The deadline is getting closer and closer, and no matter how many clothes she has, she can't sell for so much silver.
Lu's tangled eyebrows have never stretched, and she is thinking about how to raise money, because Bai Mujian comes to the door to "chat" with her every now and then, and every time she speaks, she is angry and helpless.
However, since Bai Hibiscus made a post and prepared to drink and feast, her heart has settled down a lot, as long as she can calculate her family affairs, everything Bai Mu Hibiscus took from her in the future will be returned.
Let her be proud for the time being!" Lu sneered in his heart, but soon he still had to worry about those land and property deeds that couldn't be sold!
In the Yiqin Pavilion, the mandarin duck looked at Bai Mujian in surprise and asked, "Miss, you also sent a post to the Chu County Palace?"
"How can I say that I can become the county lord, and the Chu County Mansion is also indispensable, how can I not invite them to share the joy of this county lord?" Bai Mu Hibiscus said with a natural look.
The mandarin duck pouted slightly, and said, "The slave maid is annoyed when she thinks of their faces, but ...... I don't think they're that thick-skinned, right?
"That's not necessarily, if you want to take revenge, you can't always avoid the enemy, the king of Chu Jun is not the kind of person who will endure silently if he suffers a loss!" Bai Mu Hibiscus said calmly.
When the mandarin duck heard this, he was about to become anxious, and said worriedly: "Why did the young lady invite them here?
Bai Mujin looked at the mandarin duck funny and asked, "Why do you want to avoid them? This is in the same capital, he is the king of the county, I am the lord of the county, I don't look up and look down, even if we don't invite them this time, what if they want to invite us next time?" or...... What about the feast in the palace?"
The mandarin duck was secretly annoyed when she thought about it, and thought with a sad face, in the end, this grudge was settled, but the young lady was already embattled at home, and now there was a strong enemy of the Chu County Mansion outside, how should this be good?
Bai Mujin knew her thoughts at a glance, sighed, and said: "Mandarin duck, some hatreds are not something you can hide from if you endure it, although I don't want to grudge more, but it doesn't mean that I'm afraid, don't worry, whoever dares to bully us, I will only double it back!"
"That is to say, Sister Mandarin Duck, you are too timid and afraid, he is the king of the county, and the young lady is the lord of the county, the same grade, why be afraid of them, not to mention that the old lady is the cousin of the emperor today, who is afraid of whom!" The magpie looked disapplieving, and now they can almost walk sideways up and down the Guogong Mansion.
Thinking of those who bullied them in the past, they are now respectful and afraid of her and the mandarin ducks, and they almost laugh to death. There are also Lu and Bai Yunxi, one was forced to go into debt, the other was grounded, no one could jump, the Guogong Mansion has never been so quiet!
Mandarin Duck is still a little worried, she is not as heartless as a magpie, she will inevitably think about things more, no matter how powerful the young lady is, she is only a county lord, not as powerful as the king of Chu County, and the king of Chu County also has the support of the queen mother.
If you really come to seek revenge, it's okay to be clear, but secretly playing tricks, Miss is a woman, in the end, she will be constrained everywhere, she is not at ease.
"Mandarin duck, do you think I shouldn't be an enemy of the Chu County Palace, or...... Should I apologize as my father and grandmother said?" asked Shiraki.
The mandarin duck hurriedly shook his head and said, "That's not what the slave and maid mean, the slave and maid...... I'm worried that they will find ways to harm you in the future, even if the mandarin duck fights for his life, it doesn't matter, but he must not watch the young lady be injured in the slightest!"
"Then that's it, what are we afraid of? You are not even afraid of death, and I am the same, since we are willing to lose our lives, who can do anything to us? You remember, the more you are afraid of something, the more something will come, and only if you are not afraid of anything, they will be powerless against me!" Bai Mu Hibiscus said.
Mandarin duck seems to understand something, Miss used to be timid and cowardly, and was bullied by Lu's mother and son everywhere, but she still stupidly said good things for them, she was anxious in her eyes, and she wished that Miss could be a little hot one day and teach those three heartless lessons.
Later, Miss suddenly figured it out, she was no longer afraid of them, although she was also framed by the three of Lu's mother and son repeatedly, but she never succeeded, Miss is not like before, she knows how to protect herself, and she knows how to fight back against the enemy.
The mandarin duck nodded firmly, but still said: "Miss, your life is precious, if they want to move a single hair of you, they must first step on the slave maid!"
The magpie also hurriedly expressed his loyalty and said: "The slave and maid are too, swear to protect Miss to the death!"
Bai Hibiscus's throat was a little tight, these two girls, whether in their previous life or in this life, had fulfilled their oath and had never betrayed her at the last moment of their lives, so those people really stepped on their corpses before harming her!
Bai Mu Hibiscus lowered his eyes slightly, and when he raised his head again, his eyes were firm and decisive: "Don't worry, no one wants to hurt you this time!"
After experiencing her previous life, she has long since stopped treating the mandarin duck and the magpie as slaves, in her eyes, these two people are her sisters, and they are the people she also has to protect.
The mandarin duck and the magpie were slightly surprised, what is "this time"? Is there any other time when they have been hurt? But this kind of small detail has not been taken to heart, probably just a slip of the tongue by the young lady!
The newly promoted county lord of Anping held a banquet in the Guogong Mansion, and in addition to those who had already received the post, there were many people who had no contact with the Ningguo Mansion who were also thinking of getting a post.
Without him, just because he wanted to block the demeanor of the county lord who had been in the limelight recently, it was more important to send someone to find out what kind of person the county lord of Anping was.
Therefore, on the day of the banquet in the Guogong Mansion, the number of guests greatly exceeded the expectations of the Guogong Mansion. Even Bai Muhibiscus was a little surprised, although she had long known that many forces were curious about her, but she never thought that there would be so many people who had no intersection before.
However, this banquet was mainly organized by Mrs. Lu sent her eldest aunt Qin, and the Lu family often set up banquets to entertain guests, but they were also relatively well prepared and did not show timidity.
No matter how reluctant the Lu family and Mrs. Bai were, they also had to put on a smiling face to welcome guests on this day, Mrs. Bai's mood was actually very complicated, since the death of the old prince, the Bai family rarely had such a lively scene, although the banquet on weekdays can also invite a lot of people, but they are all guests of comparable status.
Where is it like today, even the prince has come several, not to mention the princess and county lord, who came as if they didn't need money. Even if she is a first-class fate, it is rare to see so many dignitaries.
The people of the four major families came uninvited, and the Lu family and the Xie family were okay to say, after all, they were related to the county lord of Anping, but the Wang family and the Xue family couldn't beat them on weekdays, and they didn't know how to come to the door.
Although it is said that the county lord is noble, but in the eyes of these old families, it is not enough to see, which prince and grandson they have not seen, and the four major families will more or less have an in-law relationship with the royal family, they do not marry their daughters to the royal family, and the royal family will also marry their daughters to them, but it is just to win the hearts of the family.
Bai Hibiscus didn't do much, just stood there with a proper smile, greeted people, and replied with a few corresponding polite words, which still made her a little tired.
Because there were a lot of male guests, Bai Muchen was also pulled back to help entertain, although he was still young, he was much calmer, and with Lu Qingyun's help, there was nothing wrong.
Bai Shizu, as the father of the county lord, naturally had to come forward to entertain guests, and in the face of everyone's congratulations, Bai Shizu didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
He has been a prince of the country for so many years, and no one has paid attention to him, and he also secretly hated why his father handed over all the military power in his old age, so that he had the title of the prince of the country, but he had no real power in his hands at all.
In a place like the capital, the prince grabs a handful, and if the little prince is powerless, who will look at you more? But the daughter is just a county lord, although there is a fief, but it is not rare in the capital, but it has attracted the attention of so many nobles at once, which makes him feel sour.
