Chapter 044: The Face Hurts, the Flesh Hurts More!

"What's the situation?" The eldest princess slowly sat up straight, her gaze turning around Luo and the county lord of Qinghe. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info what she was surprised about was not that 'Luo was sued in court', but that someone was so bold and dared to provoke the people of the Qi family's East Mansion.

In a sense, the third is the grandson of her eldest princess, and Luo is the wife of the third child, not only representing the face of the third child, but also the third grandmother of the Qi family's East Mansion.

Now, someone dares to sue Luo, Ping An can't help but wonder if someone will provoke her, the eldest princess, in the future?

Ping'an's brain opened up for a while, and all kinds of conspiracies flashed in her brain in an instant, and she even began to guess that this was another trick of the Xifu next door?

Thinking in his heart, the eyes that looked at the county lord of Qinghe were a little unkind.

The county lord of Qinghe didn't care, and still smiled gently.

Luo Shi was a little restless, her beautiful little face was full of apprehension, and she hesitated for a long time before she timidly got up from the drum pier, walked slowly to the throne, and bowed down, "Granddaughter-in-law, granddaughter-in-law don't know which nobleman she offended, actually, she suffered this catastrophe, and asked her grandmother to make decisions for her granddaughter-in-law." ”

The eldest princess frowned, looked at the county lord of Qinghe, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Xian's daughter-in-law, what the hell is going on?" ”

The county lord of Qinghe sat on the drum pier, heard this, straightened up slightly, and said with a little respect: "Speaking of which, this matter is not a big deal, to put it bluntly, it is just a slave who bullies people, and the Luo clan has been affected." ”

At this time, all the people in the room fell silent, no longer talking to each other, but looking at the county lord of Qinghe with different expressions.

The county lord of Qinghe cleared his throat and said: "That's the case, more than a month ago, when our family's Grandma Gu went out of the house, Xu was Gu Nian's friendship with Grandma Luo, and he actually 'personally' transferred a slave to Grandma Luosanβ€”β€”"

"Sneer~~"

As soon as these words came out, several young ladies present couldn't hold it at first, and one of them couldn't hold back, so they chuckled out loud - the county lord of Qinghe said it was too funny, what is Gu Nian's friendship? Also transfer minions? The east and west are not in harmony, and even the little masters of the third and fourth generations are like cross-eyed chickens. Except for the last layer of window paper, which was not pierced, in private, brothers, uncles and nephews, concubines, and sisters-in-law fought in the dark.

Gu and Luo are both the new daughters-in-law of the Qi family not long after they passed the door, and before leaving the cabinet, the two have never crossed paths. But since marrying their respective husbands, the two have instantly changed from strangers to enemies.

If it is said that the two will fight and frame each other, the people present will still believe it, but if it is said that they love each other, uh, dear, it's not dark yet, it's not suitable for dreaming!

Of course, there are also flexible brains, combined with the sentence 'Grandma Gu is out of the house', I instantly understood the deep meaning of the words of the lord of Qinghe County - what kind of transfer of slaves, it is clear that the Luo clan took advantage of the fire to rob, and when he saw that the Gu family was escorted to the Tiejian Nunnery, he secretly made a black hand and secretly collected the Gu family's minions.

Hmm, it is fake to collect slaves, but it is true to seek Gu's industry!

The Gu family was born in the Guogong Mansion, and she had an uncle who was in charge of the city, and when she got married, the dowry was extraordinarily rich. It was a full one hundred and twenty-eight, and all the limelight of several young grandmothers in the Qi family's East Mansion was suppressed.

The Luo family was born in a family of giant merchants, and although the dowry was also rich, most of them were made up in the officials, and not many of them really got into their hands. Therefore, it is reasonable that Luo will look at Gu's dowry and wait for an opportunity to get it.

Before the words of the county lord of Qinghe were finished, Luo's face turned red at first, and then turned white again. She was wronged, calculating the Gu family and plotting to seize the property, it was really not her who did it, but someone else. As a result, he didn't get any benefits, but he recited an infamy for no reason, and he was really wronged!

endured the grievances, Luo didn't dare to look up at the eldest princess, lest he couldn't help it, and he would show it, and when the time came, he would offend this 'grandmother', and she and the third master would definitely not have a good life.

The eldest princess frowned, and said in a very unkind tone: "What, it was the Gu family who handed over the letter to Shuntian Mansion?" "This stirrger is still going to make trouble without the Qi family!

The county lord of Qinghe hurriedly said: "The eldest aunt misunderstood, the plaintiff is not Grandma Gu, but the merchant who leased Grandma Gu's shop, and the Xie firm that supplies the store. ”

Everyone was a little confused, what is this, it is a shop, a businessman, and it also implicates the richest man in the capital, the Xie family.

Seeing this, the county lord of Qinghe was not in a hurry, and slowly told the whole story: "...... The subordinate of the family that Gu transferred to the Luo family was the big shopkeeper of the outside shop, and he was once in charge of four stores for the Gu family. ”

"At the beginning, the Gu family only gave the shopkeeper to the Luo family, but the four stores were not transferred, and they were still Gu's private property. Gu had no shopkeeper, so he subleased the shop and transferred it to a businessman surnamed Ji at the same time, but the shopkeeper relied on the power of the new master, and he didn't leave, and the businessman surnamed Ji came to urge him to move several times, but the shopkeeper not only agreed, but beat people out. ”

The county lord of Qinghe told the story compiled in Gu Jialuo's letter in a matter-of-fact manner, while secretly observing the expressions of the people present. Except for the fact that Luo Shi lowered his head and couldn't see his expression, the group of masters in the Qi family's East Mansion, from the eldest princess to the youngest third girl, all had very good-looking faces.

The county lord of Qinghe was proud in his heart, and said secretly: This is starting to be uncomfortable? Hmph, there's more stuff to come, so enjoy it slowly!

"Alas, the poor businessman surnamed Ji spent more than 10,000 taels of silver in rent, but he didn't even touch the edge of the shop, and in a fit of anger, he sued the shopkeeper in court," the county lord of Qinghe said slowly, glanced at the kneeling Luo clan, and said: "And the shopkeeper is a slave under the name of Luo, and the slave committed a crime, so it won't implicate Luo." ”

"One, ten thousand taels?" At this moment, if the eldest princess hadn't figured out the joints, she would have lived so old in vain.

What is the surname of the businessman? What to rent from someone else? It's clearly Gu's trick!

Luo Shi also beat a drum in her heart, and when the county lord of Qinghe mentioned the 'house deed', she chuckled in her heart. As early as when Hao Dazhong took refuge, Roche felt that something was wrong, but he didn't figure it out. At this time, she understood, it was the deed!

Damn, really damn it, how could she forget such an important matter, and she naively thought that as long as Hao Dazhong was controlled, then the four most profitable shops of the Gu family in his charge would be able to be returned to the Qi family's East Mansion. And Hao Dazhong didn't remind him, so Luo, who was born in a merchant, made such a low-level mistake!

The county lord of Qinghe pretended to be sad and said: "But isn't it, the four shops are all on East Street, the location is excellent, the shop area is also large, the rent of 1,500 taels a month, the four shops add up, more than 10,000 taels in two months." Out of the corner of his eye, he peeked at the eldest princess, and sure enough, he saw her in pain.

The county lord of Qinghe was extremely happy in his heart, and continued: "This is more than that. The shopkeeper not only forcibly occupied four shops, but also deceived the people of the Xie firm, and went to the firm to owe goods on credit in the name of the Gu family, all kinds of Western precious utensils, strange seafood, and fresh fruits from the south...... Summed up, they owe 50,000 taels of silver to othersβ€”"

"What? Fifty thousand taels? The eldest princess couldn't hold back any longer and exclaimed. Don't look at her as a noble person for decades, but in her bones she is an extremely stingy and money-hungry citizen. Come to think of it, Gaozu was born in a poor peasant, and the eldest princess was an ordinary village girl for more than ten years before she became a princess.

Xu suffered too much when she was a child, even if she became a golden branch and jade leaf, and the treasury was full of gold and silver treasures, she was still not steady, and she would still try her best to get money in her pocket and hoard food.

The eldest princess is still Pixiu, and she only enters and does not leave. For her, it hurts more to get her money out of her pocket than to cut her flesh!

Hitting the snake and hitting seven inches, Gu Jialuo wanted to fight back and take revenge on the eldest princess, so he naturally wanted to poke at her biggest pain point.

Sure enough, when the eldest princess heard the 'tens of thousands of taels' of silver, her face changed, and her whole person exuded a gloom. Roche, who was kneeling in front of her, was so frightened that he trembled.

The county lord of Qinghe was not affected in the slightest, and then said: "Alas, this can't be blamed on the Xie family. They worked hard to transport goods back from the West, and they did not care which shop they went to to deliver the goods, but they were all cash transactions. If it weren't for Gu's face, how could people make an exception to let Gu's shop pick up the goods first, sell the goods and then settle the bill? hated the shopkeeper, obviously he was not a slave of the Gu family, and he dared to go to the Xie family to cheat under the banner of the Gu family. Yesterday, Gu went to Dongdajie, and by the way, he visited Xie's owner, chatted a few words, and then knew that he had been deceived. ”

The eyes of the county lord of Qinghe flashed with schadenfreude, and he pretended to sigh and said, "Alas, what kind of family is the Xie family? When he devoted all his family property to assist Grandpa Gao to fight the world, Grandpa Gao deeply felt his righteousness, and specially named the ancestor of the Xie family as a 'rich and noble scattered person', promising that the Xie family would be rich forever. Although the Xie family is not an official, they are imperial businessmen who are trusted by the royal family. The steward is imposting and defrauding, isn't this death? ”

After saying this, even the eldest princess of Ping An couldn't help but be stunned. Yes, the Xie family is not an ordinary merchant, but an imperial merchant who holds the iron coupon of Grandpa Gao's (that is, her own father) Danshu.

Gaozu was born poor, and when he became an emperor, he did not change his true colors - stingy. When rewarding meritorious heroes, they can't get knights unless they are peerless, but the Xie family, a businessman, can get the Danshu iron coupon, which shows the importance that Grandpa Gao attaches to the Xie family.

Moreover, the Xie family is rich in the world, but it is not publicized, and it never fights with the royal family, it is the emperor's businessman, and he honestly makes money for the royal family.

The eldest princess understands that even if she is today's aunt, in today's mind, she may not be as important as a businessman from the Xie family.

The Xie family made a move in this matter, and the eldest princess was reluctant, so she had to cut some flesh out.

Roche's face was even more pale, because she knew that her noble 'grandmother' would definitely not pay out of her own pocket, and it was her granddaughter-in-law from a merchant who paid the bill in the end.

Woo, I knew this earlier, and I wouldn't have been involved in the infighting with the Qi family if I killed her, but now it's okay, the face is gone, and the inside is going to be hollowed out......
