Chapter 14: The Merchant Girl Who Rivals the Riches of the Country 5

There are not many masters of the Qi family, although they are merchants, but after all, they are imperial businessmen who deal with the government, and their family style is upright, and there are no bunch of concubines and concubines.

Full of calculations, the huge Qi family, and the total number of masters, large and small, is less than ten.

Mrs. Qi was old and had a son and three daughters, and she had no concubines. The three daughters have been married for many years, the only son, Master Qi, only one wife and one concubine, and has two daughters-in-law, Qi Yuling, Qi Yuning, and a concubine, Qi Yuxiu. The family rules of the Qi family are unusual, regardless of men and women, and the daughter can also be the master of the family and take charge of the family business.

The head of the Qi family in the previous generation was Mrs. Qi, who was cowardly and benevolent, but incompetent to take charge of the Qi family. Mrs. Qi is proficient in business, has a ruthless wrist, and is the real head of the Qi family. In this generation, Mrs. Qi's only son is like a father, plus she has read poetry and books since she was a child, has a talent and fame, and her personality is a little sour, so she has to be full of wind and snow, poetry and songs. Old Mrs. Qi is old, and now the head of the Qi family is the eldest lady Qi Yuling.

Five years ago, Mrs. Qi's Yan, who was Qi Yuling's biological mother, died of illness.

Qi Ye proposed to support the Jia family as the main room, but because of the opposition of Mrs. Qi, it was not done. Because the housemother was not there, Master Qi proposed to let the Jia family take care of the housework. Jia's heart disliked that the Qi family was a merchant, and he was afraid that she would bury her scholarly identity, so she refused.

The chores of the Qi family were handed over to Aunt Wang, who was beside Mrs. Qi, and the housekeeper was taking care of them.

Aunt Wang was the righteous daughter adopted by Mrs. Qi in her early years, and she never married in her life and served by the old lady's side.

Jia's person, the Qi family is estimated to be the only one who likes it, moaning all day long, playing the piano and composing poems, the wind and snow, the sad spring and autumn, lamenting his poor life, born at the wrong time, and falling here.

When outsiders saw it, they thought that Jia, who was soaked in the nest of wealth and enjoyed happiness, was subjected to some inhuman abuse.

After that, Master Qi proposed to let Jia's housekeeper several times, but was rejected by Jia's on the grounds of unpopular affairs, and what Jia's said when he refused was nothing more than "although the concubine is lowly, but she is also from a Confucian family, how can she be in the same stream with Shangjia and others", and he stepped on Shangjia to raise his "identity".

After Qi Yuxiu came back from rebirth, she felt that their mother and daughter were too clean and dustless, although gold, silver and copper stinked, and regarded money as dung. But Qi Yuling, that slut, because of their high status, robbed their mother and daughter of everything, and trampled her into the muddy ditch with the gold and silver she despised the most.

It's because she thinks about it, although the copper coin stinks, but food, clothing, housing, transportation, high pillow and soft sleep, everything is inseparable from money. In his previous life, he was trapped in the backyard of the palace, because he had no money to send those cheap slaves, so he could only eat some leftovers. And Qi Yuling, a slut, took her Wanguan family wealth, and insisted on making the vicious, ignorant and vulgar Qi Yuning the eldest grandson and future crown princess.

These were meant to be hers.

She, Qi Yuxiu, was of noble birth, had the blood of the scholar clan, and her maternal ancestor was famous. Compared to Qi Yuling, whose biological mother is just a vulgar and lowly butcher's daughter, it is more than a hundred times better!

Why should the Qi family's family business be handed over to Qi Yuling?

Whether it is her background and talent, she Qi Yuxiu is a hundred times more noble than that slut.

These things that belonged to her, in her previous life, were snatched away by Qi Yuling, a slut, because of her high pride.

Reborn back, she must get back these things that belong to her! also wants to take revenge on the sluts who hurt her in her previous life.

Fighting for stewardship is only the first step.

Her revenge, start now.

Rongxi Hall is where Mrs. Qi lives.

Mrs. Qi is a well-known and thunderous figure in Yangzhou City, and has been in charge of the huge Qi family since the death of her parents-in-law. The businessmen of the entire Yangzhou City are known to everyone, and no one is unconvinced.

Even her husband, Mrs. Qi, was obedient to Mrs. Qi before her death. Now although Mrs. Qi is no longer in charge, the residual power still exists.

Qi Yuxiu and Jia Shi came to Rongxi Hall, and the maid tea beside the old lady couldn't help but flash surprise in her eyes, she was steady, and bowed to the two, and said crisply, "I've seen the second lady and the second lady, the old lady has just gotten up, wait for me to pass it on." After saying that, he opened the curtain and went in to pass the word.

Qi Yuxiu and Jia Shi stood under the corridor and waited for a while.

Jia, who was forced by Qi Yuxiu to cry and beg, was already bored and helpless in his eyes, if it wasn't for his daughter who kept pulling her, he would have waved his sleeves away.

She is the daughter of the dignified Confucian Jia Chengdao, the end of the Shinong industry and commerce, and she wants to see an old woman who is covered in copper smell, and she has to stand at the door blowing the cold wind, etc., what kind of system does it become?

If this old woman respects her politely, the princess and the princess will bow to her mother-in-law, she is a family from the scholar family, although it has declined, but in such a lowly copper-smelling merchant family, I don't know how many times noble, not to mention curtsy, respect should always have, right?

Don't talk about respect, this old woman is not blind to her, she will be reprimanded when she meets, if it weren't for Master Qi doing everything possible to protect her, she would almost be killed by this old woman. Such a vicious and lowly person is not worthy to be her mother-in-law.

In the end, it is a lowly merchant, and there is no distinction between respect and inferiority.

Jia Shi thought resentfully, his face almost overflowing.

If it weren't for Xiu'er's pleading, she wouldn't have come here to be humiliated.

Her please, is this old woman worthy?

Realizing Jia's gaffe, Qi Yuxiu hurriedly pulled her sleeve secretly.

Jia barely managed to keep his smile.

Compared with being tossed in the palace in the palace in his previous life, Qi Yuxiu didn't think it was bitter.

It's the Jia family, before the decline of the Jia Mansion was pampered, and after the decline, she became the second lady of the Qi family, although she is a concubine, but the main mother and mother-in-law don't care, the Qi family is pampered, the Qi family is luxurious and rich, and the Jia family is still moisturized before the Jia Mansion is copied, and it is more and more pretentious.

The mother and daughter's every move fell into the eyes of the maids under the porch, and several maids glanced at each other, although they did not speak, but they all showed a look of disdain between their low eyebrows and lowered their eyes.

The old man and the old lady have the same virtue, and they are used to raising the hearts of Jia's mother and daughter higher than the sky and stupid.

After waiting for a while, just when Jia couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to leave with his sleeves, Mingcha came out to report.

"Old lady, please."

Jia Shi and Qi Yuxiu entered the door, and on the main seat in the hall sat an old woman with sideburns like frost and a face that was seven points majestic and three points kind, and behind her was a woman in purple in her twenties, who was the old lady's aunt of the righteous queen.

Qi Yuxiu wrapped her head in a white veil and wore plain white, her face was more and more colorless, pitiful, she looked weak and timid, and walked in front of Old Madam Qi to salute, "My granddaughter has seen my grandmother." ”

Jia Shi bowed his head and saluted, and said softly: "I've seen the old lady." ”
