125 Don't give face (2nd watch)
Seeing the porter smiling and inviting them in, He Liushi couldn't help but provoke a triumphant smile. She immediately covered the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, but her eyes were still smiling, which showed that she was in a very good mood.
Wang Luo's face is also happy, she will help the He Liu family, firstly, because she received the gift from the He Liu family, secondly, because the He family is now doing a big business, and thirdly, because she likes the in-law relationship between the He family and the Gu family, and wants to make friends with the Gu family through the He family.
After all, the Gu family is the richest man in Qingzhou, and the business has been done very well, if the Wang family can get in touch with the Gu family through the He family, it will naturally have a lot of benefits.
Of course, there is actually a fourth reason why she did this, she wants Li Shuhua to owe her a favor. As long as Li Shuhua owes her this favor and takes a little care of the Wang family's business in the future, the Wang family will be able to have a lot of benefits.
Wang Luo's thought this was actually because she didn't understand the grievances between the He family and the merchant at all, and she was deliberately misled by the He Liu family. She only knew that He Yuanfang was married to Shang Shixun at the beginning, and later divorced. Since then, the He family has cut off contact with the business.
Now the He family's business is getting bigger and bigger, and they have married the Gu family, and the Gu family is the richest man in Qingzhou. The merchant became the prefect of Qingzhou, and if there was the help of the Gu family, it would be easier to manage Qingzhou.
So Wang Luo felt that the merchant must want to reconcile with the He family, but he couldn't pull it off. Now that the He family has taken the initiative to show goodwill, the merchant will naturally not let go of this opportunity to let the two families rebuild the old friendship.
She helped with this, but she just pushed the boat down the river, and she didn't have to exert any effort at all, but she could get a lot of benefits. Where did she know about the dirty things that the Dao He family had done, and where did she know the dirty things that the Lu Dao Gu family and merchants had done. Even if Li Shuhua doesn't hate the He family to the core, it is disgust and hatred. Merchants and the He family are simply impossible to rebuild the old good!
Wang Luo didn't know this at this time. So I was so proud in my heart that I couldn't help but start calculating. How should the Wang family take advantage of this incident to win more benefits for their own family.
After a while, he arrived at the main hall, and Li Shuhua was already seated on the main seat. Because it has been too chaotic recently, worried that someone has bad intentions, Li Shuhua banned the Shangsun family in disguise, for fear that she would be designed by someone to accept the other party's heavy gifts and become the handle of Shang Shigong.
Although he was extremely disgusted with the He family in his heart, he even had no good impression of Wang Luo. However, when people came in, Li Shuhua still maintained a perfect smile on her face, and she didn't let people see the slightest slackness.
It's just that when he saw He Yunqi who was being led by He Liu's family, Li Shuhua's eyes flashed slightly, and he also had a plan in his heart.
Li Shuhua didn't like He Yunqi, and felt that although this little girl was not very old, she was too careful. The gaze is not pure, it always makes people feel that they are calculating something. Especially He Yunqi deliberately pesters Shang Jinxiu every time she comes to the business, and Li Shuhua has no good impression of her.
Seeing He Yunqi, Li Shuhua instantly thought of - this girl is coming to entangle her baby girl again!
Really. The two sides exchanged a few polite words, and after sitting down, He Yunqi asked, "Aunt Merchant." Is Xiu'er there? Can I talk to her? "Her etiquette is very standard and the smile on her face is just right. No matter how you look at it, she is a standard aristocratic lady. It's just that He Yunqi asked a little abruptly. I can't wait.
Li Shuhua didn't want He Yunqi to bother her baby daughter, so she said with a smile: "Xiu'er happened to be out of the air, but she wasn't there." ”
Hearing this, He Liushi was immediately disappointed. He Yunqi's mood was very complicated, not only to send a sigh, but also to feel that Shang Jinxiu was not there to let her run in vain, which made her a little depressed. And thinking that Shang Jinxiu, a boudoir lady, was not good at staying at home but running around, she had a little more disgust and disdain for Shang Jinxiu.
Shang Jinxiu was actually in the inner courtyard at this time, and Li Shuhua deliberately said this, but it was just an excuse to perfunctory He Yunqi. She thought that if she had said this, He Yunqi would not pester Shang Jinxiu anymore. Who knows, He Yunqi will no longer continue to entangle, but He Liu's face is not ordinarily thick.
Not long after her words fell, He Liushi said with a smile: "That's really unfortunate. You don't know what to do, Qi'er always remembers your little sister Xiu'er. When I heard that I was coming to the business, I followed her, saying that I hadn't seen Xiu'er for three years and wanted to meet her. Speaking of this, she turned her head to He Yunqi again and said, "Qi'er, this time is not a coincidence, you can come again next time." You too, if you want to see Xiu'er, just say it, why do you keep hiding it in your heart? In the future, if you want to see Xiu'er, just take the carriage to find her. ”
Li Shuhua's face changed suddenly, and her fingers tightly grasped the teacup in her hand. However, before she could say anything, Wang Luoshi on the side had already said with a smile: "That's right, Qi'er, you are just the same age as Xiu'er." You're coming, Xiu'er must be happy! And our Yu'er, who is a year younger than you, is almost bored when she stays at home all day, and you also play with her. ”
Wang Luo's foresight was that the merchant would reconcile with the He family, and wanted to get closer to the two families, so he deliberately said such a thing. After speaking, she turned her face to look at Li Shuhua, only to find that Li Shuhua's face was very wrong. Although she had a smile on her face all the time, the smile was distinctly detached, unlike at the beginning.
Wang Luo is not a fool, seeing Li Shuhua's face, he knows that he is afraid that what he said just now is wrong. But she didn't know what she was wrong about, so she felt that Li Shuhua was too stingy. She just said a word to let the children have more contact together, and she didn't say anything, what kind of anger was Li Shuhua angry about? Could it be that she was still wrong?
He Liushi has been paying attention to Li Shuhua's face since he entered the house, and naturally he has seen the change in her face, and he knows in his heart that this time things will not be easy.
I heard Li Shuhua say: "I also want Xiu'er to have more contact with children of the same age, but her master has assigned her a lot of homework, I'm afraid she doesn't have so much time." Besides, we are going to move to Qingzhou City in the next few days, and the children will have to write letters if they want to come and go. ”
Because the things in Wang's embroidery workshop are very good, Li Shuhua naturally has a good impression of Wang Luo. It's just that these few favorites became vanished after Wang Luo's and He Liu's entered the house together, and after Wang Luo's deliberate words, Li Shuhua was only disgusted with her.
These people calculated her, and she could not care. But they can't count her children! Wang Luo and He Liu's back and forth, talking to themselves, want Shang Jinxiu to have more contact with He Yunqi and Yu'er, have they asked her what she means by being a mother? Can you ask Xiu'er what she means?
Because she was too angry, Li Shuhua's words were a little more scathing and less tactful than before.
Wang Luo and He Liu listened to her words, and their faces became not very good-looking. Both of them felt that Li Shuhua was deliberately slapping them in the face when she said this!
Wang Luoshi was very angry, she came to the merchant this time out of kindness, and also brought a generous gift, how could Li Shuhua treat her like this? If you really became the prefect's wife, did you even ignore the etiquette?
He Liu's family was even more angry, she herself was born in a big family, and she had been the housewife of the He family for decades, and she had always looked down on herself, and she looked down on Li Shuhua, a vulgar merchant girl. If it weren't for the fact that the merchant had become the prefect of Qingzhou, she would not have surrendered her identity to contact Li Shuhua at all.
However, she has already surrendered her identity, but Li Shuhua still deliberately slapped her in the face, where will her face be in the future?
She sneered disdainfully in her heart, Li Shuhua is really a merchant girl who can't be on the stage, and the merchant has only become the prefect of Qingzhou, so she thinks that she has gained great benefits, and she is so proud that she is lawless, and no one cares about it!
Li Shuhua was keenly aware of the anger of the two, but she didn't bother to explain, she just served tea and sent off the guests: "Recently, the family has been in a mess, and everything in the house has to be counted and handed over, so I can only snub the two of them." I already know the intentions of the two, but the master is a clean official, and I dare not accept the gifts brought by the two, so I ask the two to take them back. This time the hospitality was not good, and I am here to make amends to the two of you. ”
After she finished speaking, she saluted the two of them. Wang Luo and He Liu didn't expect that Li Shuhua would do such a great job, they wouldn't even accept the gifts, and even drove them away! The faces of the two became even more ugly, and even He Yunqi could not continue to maintain his perfect demeanor.
Li Shuhua was not polite to them at all, and after she finished the salute, she said: "In order to apologize, I will personally send the two of you out, please." ”
She has already reached this step, and it is naturally not good for He Liu and Wang Luo to continue to rely on it. Although the two were angry in their hearts, they would not be stupid enough to oppose the merchant clearly.
The three of them were sent out of the door of the merchant by Li Shuhua with stiff faces, and as soon as the gate was closed, He Liushi took the initiative to say to Wang Luo: "This time it's all my fault, and I've tired you." If you don't dislike it, why don't you go to my house and sit down? ”
Wang Luoshi did not hesitate to take the olive branch handed by He Liu, and said with a smile: "You can be serious, I, I have always wanted to visit your home, and today can be regarded as a chance!" ”
The two laughed and got into the He family's carriage, and He Yunqi followed.
As soon as the carriage moved, Wang Luoshi couldn't help but grit his teeth and count Li Shuhua's with He Liu's family. He Yunqi sat obediently on the side and didn't interject, just looked at Wang Luoshi deeply, and the corners of his mouth blocked by the fan provoked a sneer of mockery.
This Wang Luo is still too young, although he is a little cautious, his scheming is not deep, it is too easy to control her! With her help in publicity, Li Shuhua and Shang Jinxiu's reputations will definitely not be good.
She secretly glanced at He Liu, and heard that He Liushi was comforting Wang Luo, like a kind elder. Listening to He Liu's words, He Yunqi knew that He Liu's thought of going with her this time. (To be continued......)
