The Wu family is a big family in Qingyang, and they can compete with the century-old store Dejitang in terms of qualifications.

The difference is that the Xiao family sells medicines, although there are profits and losses, but the doctor originally relies on his craft to eat, even if he encounters a loser, he will not be too poor.

The Wu family is not good, the shipping business has profits and losses, and no matter how shrewd and powerful the family is, they may not be able to withstand a big storm. A shipwreck will basically hurt the original anger, and if there is another loser, it will be a family tragedy.

The luck of the Wu family is still good, although it is also full of disasters and difficulties, and even the ancestral hall was sold at the most difficult time. But the signboard finally did not fall, and it continued to the present.

The current Wu family is in its heyday. When the family Wu Qi is the eldest grandson, the identity is justified, and the ability is also unique.

The Wu family of the Yan Wangfu is his own sister. When she married to the palace of Yongshou County as a side concubine, she only thought about giving birth to a son, and it would be good to get a knighthood.

Where did I think that she has such a great creation. is favored by Han Xiao, and the side is the concubine. Han Xiao became the prince of Yan Wangfu again, and in a blink of an eye, she also became half of the hostess of Yan Wangfu.

"In this way, the Wu family's business has also become bigger." Shen Xiu said.

After listening to the housekeeper, the Wu family is also a terrible family. It is also a great thing that a merchant girl of the Wu family has become the princess of the Yan Palace.

Then it's no wonder that the Wu family is so generous, the mother's family still has to look at her face, and the money must definitely support it.

"Of course." The steward said, "This master Wu is also a rare talent, so what's the ...... Big proprietors are more talented. ”

Everyone in the world is like this, they can only remember the first place, and rarely remember the second place, especially if they do the same business.

Wu Qi's strength and his reputation do not take advantage of each other. It can be said that he is underestimated too much, even if he does another line of work, it will not be so.

"I made a note of it." Shen Xiu said.

No wonder the steward told her that if Wu Qi shouted the price, she should not raise the bar, because she was afraid of a dispute.

The steward said: "Actually, Wu Da is the one in charge, but it's quite good." He is humble and has a plain temperament. ”

Shen Xiu laughed when he heard this, and said honestly: "Brother's temper is a little worse. ”

"No, Miss misunderstood, I didn't mean that the big boss had a bad temper." The steward hurriedly explained.

Shen Xiu smiled and said, "You don't have to explain, my brother just knows it, and he won't care about this." ”

Shen Yue's temper is not good, but he is not a stingy person, and he will not take this matter to heart.

"Actually, the auction of the Plains Hou Mansion, even if someone from the Wu family will go, it may not be the master of Wu." The steward said, "Although the Wu family is rich, Wu Da is very strict in charge of the house, if the price is too high, he may not make a move." But the Xiao family is in charge, and he has always loved to be in the limelight, so he may buy it easily. ”

Auctions are also different from on-site purchases, and there is a lot of mobility. Especially when the price is called, it all depends on the breath of the person who shouted the price.

Xiao Xueyi's personality dictates that he likes to carry it to the end with others. When the temper comes, it doesn't matter if you don't care about 100,000 taels, it is possible to buy it directly.

"Xiao is the master......" Shen Xiu's mood couldn't help but be complicated.

I've only seen it today, and I thought I'd see it again in three days. Thinking about what Xiao Xueyi would say when they met, it was indeed not very pleasant.

The steward asked, "Do you know the young lady and the master of Xiao?" ”

"Uh, I know." Shen Xiu said, "But at the auction in three days, I'll just go to see it, and I won't buy it." ”

She will not raise the price with Xiao Xueyi, she just wants to avoid this person.

The steward smiled and said, "Miss is just casual." ”

In the blink of an eye, it was lunch time, and the steward left.

The little girl came over with food, Shen Xiu was a little absent-minded, her mind was a little divergent, and she recalled the information that the steward had just said.

The Wu family's market is very good, and the Wu family is the rightful princess of the county and one of Han Xiao's wives.

Although I don't know what Han Xiao's mood was when she corrected her, Han Xiao's back house also needs people. If the Wu family is so smart that they defeat Princess Cheng, Cheng Yuanniang will not be afraid at all.

If she works harder, she will give birth to the next son, and the son will succeed to the throne in the future, and she will be a legitimate concubine.

However, Wu's IQ and EQ are ......

"Miss, it's time to eat." The little girl couldn't help but remind her.

Shen Xiu came back to his senses, took back his divergent thoughts, and said with a smile: "Eat, eat." ”

The affairs of Yanwangfu, what does it have to do with her, why should she think about it.

Three days later, Shen Xiu sent a car to pick up Li Yingluo early, and she herself took another car over.

Pingyuan Hou Mansion is auctioned in the Star Picking Building, which can be described as the first auction house in Qingyang. It is not for official use, but for the maritime merchants to auction off valuable goods.

The government auctioned a limited number of things, either fugitive slaves or confiscated goods, and the amount of money was limited. casually shouted in the yamen, and the harmony was sold.

The auction of the Houfu homestead is the first time. It is not too much to say that it is a rare encounter in a hundred years, so the prefect specially ordered that if it is more lively, it will be auctioned in the Star Picking Building. All the big households in Qingyang City must be notified, and whether the yamen can generate income depends on this vote.

"Miss, I'm going to pick up the Star Tower today and wear a few more pieces of jewelry." The little girl said, picked up the big phoenix hairpin on the dresser and wanted to insert it into Shen Xiu's head.

Shen Xiu has a lot of jewelry, and there are also a lot of various big phoenix hairpins. But I never saw her wear it, and it was two or three pieces each time. Even the clothes are rarely brightly worn.

She doesn't understand the word elegant, the aesthetics of the village girl is to wear a lot of gold, and the whole body must be full of satin, and the flowers are beautiful.

"You don't need to wear this." Shen Xiu couldn't help but turn her head sideways and look at the big phoenix hairpin in the little girl's hand.

It is a big one, and this kind of phoenix hairpin is also beautiful if you wear one alone. But she already had two pieces of jewelry on her head, and if she wore another one as big as this, it would be really full of heads.

"Miss, you're going to pick up the star tower today." The little girl said, "I don't know how many young ladies will go, you can't wear shabby." ”

Shen Xiu subconsciously touched the bead hairpin on his head and said, "This is okay." ”

The gold wire is wrapped into a peony flower shape, and there is a big pearl in the middle, but the pearl is called a treasure.

Isn't such jewelry valuable enough? No, at least compared to the little girl's hand, obviously the pearl is more valuable.

"If Mademoiselle doesn't like this, then at least put on these earrings." The little girl picked up a pair of huge gold earrings and was about to put them on Shen Xiu.

Shen Xiu stopped her again and said, "No, I'll pick it myself." ”

As he spoke, he looked at the jewelry box and picked out a pair of pendants with silk rubies, which were exactly a pair with hairpins.

The little girl said anxiously: "Miss, if you dress like this, you will definitely be compared." ”

"Well, let's be compared." Shen Xiu said, incredulously: "Could it be that the young ladies who went to pick up the Star Tower are all dressed like this?" ”

"Of course." The little girl said.

Shen Xiu was speechless, not knowing whether to doubt the little girl's words, but said firmly: "They can dress whatever they want, I'll clean it up myself." ”

rejected the little girl's kindness, and Shen Xiu cleaned up by herself.

Since I am going out on behalf of HSBC, of course, I will not dress too casually. Dignified and elegant, flashy but not glamorous, beautiful but not demonic.

As usual, take the four little guys and take the car to pick up the star tower.

The Star Picking Building is very close to the HSBC shipping company, and the place where the sea cargo is auctioned will naturally not be too far from the wharf. The third floor is a high-rise building, the decoration is magnificent, and the front door is full of traffic, which is very lively.

"Miss, get out of the car." The little guy said.

Shen Xiu got out of the car and looked at the door, and sure enough, as the steward said, he wiped out the merchants in Qingyang City.

There are also a lot of female dependents who go out with them, and if you look at their dress, they are really as the little girl said, all of them wear the big golden phoenix on their heads.

What kind of aesthetic is this, it stands to reason that Qingyang has been rich for so long, and generally the money keeps up, and the aesthetics will also improve.

"Leave someone to wait for Mrs. Tang at the door." Shen Xiu commanded, she didn't want to stand at the door, people came and went, and she should stand far away in places that were too lively.

However, Li Yingluo has not yet arrived, so she must leave someone to wait for her, so as not to trouble entering the door for a while.

"Then I'll stay." Xiao Jia said.

Shen Xiu nodded and walked to the door with the other three servants.

When I walked to the gate, I saw a group of people coming from the side. With the same goal, they naturally come together in one place.

Shen Xiu couldn't help but look over, the first person who walked was a young man in his twenties, quite tall, although his appearance was mediocre, but his momentum was good, he walked with the wind, and everyone was full of style.

He was flanked by a young woman, sixteen or seventeen years old, with a large phoenix hairpin on the left side and a large peony flower on the right. The body is even more red, green, and green, and at first glance it looks like a dyeing room, dyeing the whole body up and down.

Behind him were four small servants, all of them capable.

"Brother, you must take a picture of the Pingyuan Hou Mansion." The girl said to the man, with coquettishness in her tone.

The man didn't say anything, as if he hadn't heard, but walked straight to the door.

"Brother......" The girl's tone was impatient.

The two pedestrians walked to the gate one after the other, worried that the door would collide, Shen Xiu deliberately slowed down and fell behind.

"Master Wu, you actually came in person, and you are shining." The doorkeeper of the Star Picking Building said, his voice shouted loudly, and the sycophants slapped even louder.

Shen Xiu couldn't help but take a few more looks, it turned out that he was Wu Qi, and he was indeed very stylish.

Wu Qi didn't seem to hear anything around him, regardless of the shouts of his sister around him or the sycophants guarding the door.

He walked by himself, without being influenced by anyone.

"Who is this daughter?" The doorkeeper asked with a smile.

Although I want to take the invitation sticker into the door today, Qingyang City is so big, just like the kind of Wu Da master, you can just brush your face.

But the big beauty in front of me, although she is a real beauty, she really doesn't know it.

"HSBC Shipping, the sister of Shen Da's family." The little servant of the Shen family said and handed over the invitation sticker.

The gatekeeper was stunned when he heard it, and he almost forgot to check the post.

Shen Xiu smiled, and at this moment, Wu Qi, who had been moving forward, suddenly stopped and looked back.
