Chapter Ninety-Two: If you are offended, you are guilty
"Gu Chen, you're just a lowly businessman, and you actually talk to me like this!" Yan Jing said angrily.
At this moment, she admitted, she was jealous.
Why did she Yang Qinyan marry a businessman, and she could marry someone who was so good-looking and maintained her!
Moreover, she is also the daughter of Shangshu, which point is she Yang Qinyan better than her?
"What's wrong with Shang Jia? Didn't your father tell you that half of all the businesses of your Yan family have me? Your father also has half of the money he earns for the court? When Gu Chen said this, he sneered, "It seems that I want to ask Lord Yan, I have earned so much silver for him, but he is bullying my wife here with his daughter, what is the reason?" ”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but gasp.
You must know that Lord Yan is in charge of the money bag of the imperial court, and the imperial court only relies on annual taxes to fill the treasury, which is far from enough, after all, the east is the great east, and the treasury is full to be strong. The earthquake disaster alone is a large amount of expenditure every year, not to mention those things that repair bridges, roads, and water conservancy, which one does not need silver?
Therefore, it is indeed not enough to rely on the sharp income handed over by various localities every year, and it is indeed not enough to earn silver for the imperial court, which is the matter of the household book, otherwise, why does Lord Yan sit so firmly in the position of the household book?
There are more people in the court than he can do, to put it bluntly, it's just because he can do some business and make money for the court.
Although there are imperial merchants in the royal family, no one in this capital knows that the person who has now taken over the position of the imperial merchant has a friendship with Gu Chen who wears the same pair of pants.
Therefore, as soon as Gu Chen's words came out, no one present doubted it, if he really provoked him, he pulled out, and said that it was difficult to say whether the position of the head of the household was still able to sit firmly.
"...... you" Yan Jing wanted to say something, but she was stopped by the grandmother beside her, she didn't take a breath, and suddenly became anxious, glaring at the grandmother who pulled her and scolded, "What are you pulling me for?" ”
Mama lowered her voice, leaned into her ear and didn't know what to say, and saw that Yan Jing, who was still angry, suddenly calmed down, when she turned her head to look at Gu Chen, she no longer had the contempt and badness just now, and her tone was a little polite: "Since it was a misunderstanding, then it's okay to make it clear, Mama Gong, take the things, let's go." ”
Zheng Yanxi on the side was dumbfounded, this is leaving?
What about the one who said yes to support her? What about the price of the price for her? She tried her best to embarrass Yang Qinyan in public today, what is she trying to do?
Isn't it just to say that the eldest lady is good, and then follow her to the shopkeeper to lower the price, so that she can buy a beautiful set of noodles at the normal price?
Now, she said that Miss Yan had picked it up and bought it, but what about her?
Seeing that Yan Jing and her party were about to leave, Zheng Yanxi was in a hurry, and hurriedly grabbed the corner of her clothes and shouted, "Sister Yan, can you say a word to the golden shopkeeper for me?" ”
Her voice was very small, but several people who were close to it also heard it, and everyone suddenly knew that it was for this benefit.
Yan Jing looked at her with a puzzled expression: "Miss Zheng, isn't your cousin-in-law standing there?" Said he
I have an old friendship with the boss of Tang's gold shop, if you talk about talking, how can my words have his weight, you don't beg him, beg me what to do. ”
After Yan Jing finished speaking, she pulled the corner of her clothes back from her hand with a look of disgust, and then left with her own people.
Zheng Yanxi stood there blankly, as if she was a fool, if there was a crack in the ground at this time, she couldn't wait to get into it.
She could clearly feel that the eyes around her were full of disdain, ridicule and good show, she gritted her teeth, took a few deep breaths, and then looked at Qin Niang with a look of grievance and pity: "Cousin, can you ......"
However, before she could finish speaking, Qin Niang interrupted her: "Can't! ”
After speaking, she stopped looking at her, pulled Gu Chen and left the gate of Tang's gold shop, so is there a hole in Zheng Yanxi's brain?
If she wants to buy cheap and beautiful things, didn't she think of begging her in the first place? If you have to provoke such a thing, you will be close and far away, now it's okay, people say that the eldest lady is just using her as a gunman, and she threw it away when she finished, she remembered her at this time, and there was no door!
"Cousin, can't you beg your cousin-in-law to intercede for my cousin's sake?" As soon as Zheng Yanxi saw that she was leaving, she immediately panicked, she must buy a set of noodles here today, otherwise, when she waits for the Hundred Flowers Conference, what will she do to compete with those high-ranking ladies?
Qin Niang paused, looked at her sideways, and asked lightly: "Then you just said word by word, when you ruined the reputation of my Yang family, did you ever think that we were cousins?" ”
gave her a knife first, and then came to beg her, and hoped that she could see in front of her relatives, how big is her relative's face, or in her eyes, her Yang Qinyan is a bottomless and kind aunt?
"Cousin, I was wrong, you can forgive me this time, I won't dare next time." Zheng Yanxi tugged at her sleeve pitifully, looking like she was about to cry.
Others don't know, they still think that she Yang Qinyan really used her power to oppress people, and bullied her with more and less bullying, Qin Niang looked at her like this, and she was almost angry: "Zheng Yanxi, why do you think that I will still believe you?" It's not once or twice that you've come to trouble me, since you've climbed up to Miss Yan's family, then go and talk to others, and come back to me again. ”
"If you begged me early in the morning, I might be able to give you a decent set, you know, I don't have anything now, I have a lot of money, if you tell me well, I won't really help you, but what do you do to me? You have bad intentions, trying to insult my Yang family's family style and damage my Yang family's reputation, and now people are throwing you away after using you as a gun, but you think of me again. ”
"I want to ask you, second cousin, why are you?" After Qin Niang finished speaking, she pulled back her sleeve fiercely and walked away without looking back.
She is angry when she sees Zheng Yanxi now, and the small fights before are just fine, if she doesn't talk to Lord Zheng about this matter today, it seems that she is a bully.
Zheng Yanxi didn't expect Qin Niang to really give half of her face, reprimanding her so much in front of so many people, and she kept saying that she wanted to draw a line with her, and then looked at the strange eyes around her, she suddenly felt embarrassed and humiliated.
Looking at Qin Niangyi
Walking away, Zheng Yanxi clenched her fists, and a fierce light burst out of her eyes, no, she must raise money to buy a decent set of noodles here, otherwise, she will really only be the daughter of a six-rank official for the rest of her life.
Since she is ruthless, then don't blame her for being unrighteous.
……
Qin Niang didn't take Zheng Yanxi to heart at all, because she knew that with her second cousin's temperament, she was afraid that she would not be willing to do this, but with her brain, she couldn't do anything demonic, at most, it would make her look bad, so she didn't take her seriously.
She doesn't take her seriously, but Zheng Yanxi is not a person with elegance, she lost such a big person, and went directly to her grandfather Lu's house, and as soon as she entered the door, she cried to the old lady of the Lu family.
"Grandmother, I know you love me the most, but Yan'er is about to be bullied to death, you must make decisions for Dong'er."
"I heard that Tang's gold has come up with a new style of jewelry, and today I kindly pulled my cousin to buy it, I never thought that she didn't appreciate it, and she criticized me in front of so many people, and didn't leave half of my face, saying that I was just the daughter of a six-grade official, and I learned from those high-ranking women, what kind of expensive head and face to choose, and I wouldn't marry a good person, almost on the line."
"Yan'er just refuted her a few words, she embarrassed me in front of so many people, saying that I don't respect her as a superior, I can't recognize my identity, I can't afford it, and I have to drag her to embarrass people, grandmother, although Yan'er is only the daughter of a six-grade official, but my Zheng family is also a Qingliu scholarly family, I can't compare to the people next to me who will use means to climb to a high position, Yan'er is also virtuous, I can't because my status is lower, she wantonly insults me."
……
Zheng Yanxi snorted and cried, and said what Qin Niang had said before, adding oil and vinegar, and the old lady Lu was so angry that her face trembled.
"She said that?"
Zheng Yanxi looked at her with teary eyes and nodded: "She did say so, my uncle is now promoted to the Ministry of Industry, she is now talking differently from Yan'er, my father is old-fashioned and does not understand change, so he is not good at power, and he has been guarding that position for more than ten years without moving up, but she can't look down on my Zheng family because of this, okay, my mother and her mother are sisters." ”
As she spoke, she covered her veil and began to cry again.
Mrs. Lu was already so angry that her chest rose and fell violently, and the crutches in her hand were even more shocking: "It's the opposite, it's the opposite, it's so lawless, I want to see if she still can't take my grandmother in her eyes." ”
As she spoke, Mrs. Lu stood up angrily, lifted her up from the ground, and said with relief: "Don't worry, if your cousin really treats you like this, your grandmother will definitely not be able to spare her, she is married now, I can't control her, can't your aunt control her?" ”
"Isn't it just a set of heads? It's a big deal that my grandmother bought it for you, I see who dares to laugh at you! With that, she took Zheng Yanxi's hand and was about to go out.
Zheng Yanxi lowered her head, looking aggrieved and pitiful, but at the angle that the old lady couldn't see, the corners of her lips hooked up a satisfied smile.
She said that her grandmother had always loved her the most.
