Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Road to Rivalry is Narrow
Xuanyuan took Ye Zheng and Li Ge to the banquet hall, all the heads of the family have arrived, and Meng Chongguang, the head of the Meng family, still did not come, and it was still Meng Tingyu, the son of the Meng family, who came to discuss the matter.
Seeing that Bai Shengxin was sitting in the position of the head of the family, Meng Tingyu explained yesterday that he would return home to discuss the audit with his father. Today, the Meng family, as the leader, discussed the conditions with Bai Shengxin.
"Master Bai Meng, yesterday I have discussed with my father the matter of Miss Ye's intervention in the accounting, my father said, if the accounts in the Chamber of Commerce should be fair, it doesn't hurt everyone to check the accounts together, can the Bai League Master hand over the accounts of the Bai family, and our account master will check it, if you don't dare, don't trouble Miss Ye family, just take care of the Ye family's accounts." This is a bitter statement.
Bai Shengxin sneered, people thought that he was going to object, and they knew that the Bai family's accounts were problematic.
Xuanyuan looked at the clumsy acting skills of the ordinary mercenary clowns, how could this group of people let go of the opportunity to bring down the Bai family.
"Good! It's better to change the rules of this year's audit as well! β
King Yu and Li Ge were busy with business in the front hall, and King Yu ordered Mu to go out for a walk with Yan Jiu, but now it is the third pole of the day, and there is no shadow of Yan Jiu.
Mu Bangshang decided to follow Li Ge's advice to find Granny Qinshui, her old man should also be familiar with the terrain of Zengcheng, but when she saw Wen Zhen walking out of Granny Qinshui's room, she had a resentful look on her face, and she must have suffered a loss from Granny Qinshui.
Wen Zhen angrily sprinkled his anger on the body of the maid of the Bai family, the two maidservants knew that Wen Zhen was the personal maid of the mistress of the Bai family, and looked at the young lady of the Ye family with a kind face, and the temper of the maid actually overshadowed the master.
After all, the visitor was a guest, and he begged for mercy again and again, but Wen Zhen did not give up, Mu Bangshang hurriedly stepped forward to relieve the siege for the two girls, "You two go back!" β
Mother-in-law Qinshui reminded her of her current identity, this is the Bai family, and she is afraid of her cousin's affairs, so she doesn't dare to attack.
glanced at Mu Wan coldly and left directly.
Hearing the quarrel, Granny Qinshui had already walked out of the room, "Mu girl, why are you here." β
"The master said that when I first came to the ramp, I needed to understand the layout of Zengcheng and the business model of each shop."
There are many eyeliners here, and it is indeed inconvenient to speak, knowing that Mu Bangshang is inviting her again, she is Bai Shengxin's distant aunt in the Bai family, and she is over thirty years old, and she still stays in the boudoir.
"I've been in Zengcheng for some time, so I'll go with you. Jingzhen, you go too. "Said to Wen Zhen in the distance.
The third daughter was ready and made an appointment to meet at the gate of the Bai family, and Yan Jiu, that is, the second young master of the Bai family, Bai Shengyi, had already prepared a sedan chair and waited at the door.
complained to the three girls: "This woman's makeup is really the most troublesome." β
"Thanks to Uncle being a man, he saved a lot of trouble." Mu Wanshang saw her smug expression, and the men's banquet was the most comfortable.
A few people got on the sedan chair, and the sedan chair man will put a few people down in the prosperous downtown area, and Yan Jiu instructed the sedan chair man to follow from a distance, without disturbing a few people to hang out.
Yan Jiu took a few people to the second floor, the reason why it is called Fuji is that there is no second place to compare with it in Zengcheng. The scenery here is simple and elegant, and the scenery is beautiful, and it is full of flowers all year round, also known as the flower full building. The roof is a dome that can bloom like a lotus flower, and in the middle of the night, you can sit on the observation deck and enjoy the beautiful scenery, watch the beautiful women dancing in the pool, and watch the stars so elegantly that it has become a meeting place for literati and scholars.
In this winter, I simply responded to the situation, lit the cold plum and reflected the snow, and the room really had the fragrance of spring white snow and plum, and the rockery wonders, such as being in the plum forest, as if entering a fantasy world.
Mu Bangshang praised: "To be able to use flowers to the extreme, using the fragrance of flowers, each private room has been named after flowers, hundreds of fragrances float all over the garden, but not gaudy, so exquisite, the boss should be a woman." β
Yan Jiu smiled slightly: "That's the case, but no one has seen her, the owner of this pavilion is you!" β
"Ahh Mu Bangshang was a little surprised, this second floor was actually in the hands of Ye Zhaohua.
Wen Zhen gloated sarcastically on the side: "I stole someone else's identity, and I didn't do enough homework, so as not to lose someone's face." I think this Miss Ye is a business wizard. β
Mu Bangshang didn't refute, but he knew everything, where this came from Ye Zhaohua's hand, and it was clearly from the hand of King Yu.
In addition to the beauty and delicacy in each room, it is also a formation, which has the effect of being in a fantasy world.
Such ingenious mechanisms and formations, as well as King Yu's order for Yan Jiu to bring him here, was even more because of Yan Jiu's faint smile, saying that the owner of this restaurant was her.
Does King Yu want to give this restaurant to her as Ye Zhaohua? It's just that she can't afford it!
If you don't love it, why bother with it! Yan Jiu knew that Mu Bangshang understood what she was saying.
Mother-in-law Qinshui, who has been silent, is also an old and refined person, seeing that Wen Zhen is still in the dark, this girl is spoiled, and she should really have a good experience.
"I'm hungry, order something to eat!"
Naturally, she had made all the dishes, but in the second floor, she ate a chic and elegant rhyme.
The four of them walked out of the second floor, and Mu Bangsheng's mood suddenly became a little heavy, and she wanted to walk around.
Mother-in-law Qinshui had already noticed that from the moment a few people entered the second floor, someone was staring at them behind them, and a few shrimp soldiers and crabs would not be afraid.
Mu Bangshang looked at the shops, there were many workshops, and the handmade things were very beautiful.
I like the small objects carved by Seiko very much, "Sister-in-law, if you like it, buy it back!" A bunch for each person, and I will pay for the money. β
It's not a matter of silver, if you buy it back, one piece per person, King Yu will also deliver it, she doesn't want to cause trouble.
"I'm just looking, and it's not for me." Turning and heading for something else.
Mother-in-law Qinshui chose a curve that was the style of the West, Wen Zhen chose the sword spike and decided to give it to her cousin, only Mu Bangshang chose nothing.
The perfect combination of prosperity and tranquility in the south of the Yangtze River, along the quaint streets all the way, came to a Zhumen shop in front of the front building, on the red background gold letterboard on the signboard written three big characters of odd goods.
Mu Bangshang knew that this was the Shen family's industry, and the antique shop also collected pawn objects, and I don't know how many objects from the palace came in and out from here.
Qian pointed to the carved gatehouse in the distance, "Let's go there!" β
Wen Zhen was a little tired, so he just rested, "It looks good, will there be many treasures in the capital that are still valuable?" β
But she was glared at by Qinshui's mother-in-law, she is now a maid, and she shouldn't be so talkative.
Mu Bangshang will realize that someone must be following, but he is playing a round, "Every place has the characteristics of each place, and there may be unexpected gains!" β
The crowd didn't say much, and went directly into the strange goods house.
The interior decoration is extremely exquisite, antiques, calligraphy and painting, cultural toys, jade jewelry, weapons and weapons are complete, but Yan Jiu has taken a fancy to a brute saber.
Mu Bangshang suddenly felt a familiar figure float away, and followed the figure to the door of a private room on the third floor, where there seemed to be objects of better color.
Mu Bangshang saw a woman in purple with a veil, holding a hairpin with a little emerald in her hand. It's Qiu Tong, I didn't expect to see her here, it's really a narrow road.
The eyes looked at the beautiful ~ beautiful and beautiful green hairpin in his hand for a moment, this hairpin seems to have been seen somewhere.
Wen Zhen followed closely behind her, Yan Jiu and others also followed, Wen Zhen saw her distracted, and said sarcastically: "Miss Fu, everyone will have a little emerald in their jewelry. What's so strange about that. β
Wen Zhen is right, the beauty has gold on her temples, and many people do not hesitate to slaughter living beings to satisfy their desires for the sake of beautiful jewelry.
"Wrong, this is not a point of emerald, it is a high imitation of point cui, if it is really that treasure, but it is a hundred times higher than the real point of emerald."
Mu Bangshang's words caused everyone to be surprised, "If I am not mistaken, two hundred years ago, Emperor Taizu, the founder of the Great Yin Dynasty, ordered the Shang Palace Bureau to make jewelry for the birthday of Empress Murong. So the pattern he personally designed was made by Professor Zhangzhen of the Shang Palace Bureau, and it took a lot of methods to find a satin silk instead of a point of emerald. This hairpin does not care about the degree of prestige, only cares about the mind used in it, which is unique from the world. β
"But I remember that ornament is Queen Murong's favorite, after Queen Murong died, with the queen being buried, how could it appear here?" Mu Bangshang continued.
"But there is also a saying in the palace that the hairpin was not buried, but stayed with Emperor Taizu, but it didn't know why it flowed here." A female voice came.
Mu Bangshang didn't turn around, and it was Qiu Tong who spoke.
Mu Wanshang slowly turned around, looked at the purple-clothed woman standing opposite, veiled, and smiled calmly, "What this sister said is, how can that kind of thing in the palace appear here, it should still be in the palace, or it will be buried with Queen Murong, but it is just a fake made by later generations who listened to the allusions and deliberately used the method of satin threading." β
Rare treasures, Mu Bangshang only used the word fake, but no one dared to refute it, if it was genuine, it would be lost.
The shopkeeper was busy stepping forward, I really didn't expect that someone would know the goods today, and the fulcrum green hairpin would be taken out because the woman was the prince's person. Although it is not a point of emerald, it was made by Emperor Taizu himself, which can be described as the treasure of the town. The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.
Mu Bangshang said: "Since this is a strange place, it is said that the things bought are genuine, and the shopkeeper is afraid that the fake will damage the reputation of the Shen family, so let's remove the thing!" β
"That's what the girl said!"
Qiu Tong looked Mu Bangshang up and down like a ghostly eye, this woman is not a mortal, and she always feels that she has seen it somewhere, "Dare to ask the girl's name?" β
"Jiangyin Ye Zhaohua!" Mu Bangshang's voice was calm and calm.
Qiu Tong was surprised: "You are Bai Shengxin's fiancΓ©e!" β
