Although Mrs. Quan is called the "old" lady, it is just her son who became the Marquis of Xiuwu and married Mrs. Hou, in fact, she herself has not even arrived in her forties, and she has a good recuperation, which is not bad with the Zhao family.

"Madam, take a look at this," came a few times, Zhao already knew that Mrs. Quan didn't like people to call her "old" Mrs., so she removed the word "old" with interest, and she put a mahogany box in front of Mrs. Quan, "My master of this shop has been redeeming for a long time before he found a suitable one for Mrs. Quan, you can see it." ”

Mrs. Quan took out two title deeds from the box, saw that they were the best locations, nodded with satisfaction and handed them to the maid beside her, "What kind of family is your Hu family?" It's not that I'm boasting, I'm afraid that in a few years, half of the shops in the capital will have the surname Hu! I knew that I entrusted you with this matter, and it was no longer suitable, no, it was only a few days, and you did it for me, I don't know how to thank you! ”

"Madame handed over this matter to the concubine, it is a blessing for the concubine husband and wife, how can the lady thank you," Zhao smiled sweetly, as if Mrs. Quan entrusted her to do a trivial matter that was really not worth mentioning, she whispered again, "Another thing Madame said, the concubine also went back and mentioned it to my master,"

She groaned a little embarrassed, "Don't be afraid of Mrs. jokes, the Hu family has a total of three rooms, and the business is all over the country, but it is all in the hands of the big house and the three rooms, such things as changing the shop, my lord can do it, and my lord will not count if he buys a boat to go to sea!" ”

Mrs. Quan took two deserted stores and asked the Zhao family to replace them for her, clearly saying that she was trying to find a way out, but in fact, what she wanted was how the Zhao couple didn't understand, and sent the two two-room shops to Mrs. Quan, including the goods full of goods. But the other thing she said is not the second room that can be decided.

Does it count? Is that not going to happen? Mrs. Quan couldn't help but sink her face, but she was still calm, she didn't drive people out immediately, and took a sip of tea for a long time before saying, "It turns out that Second Master Hu can't be a family in the Hu family, alas, I saw the wrong person, okay, I'll ask Shuyan to deliver a letter to the two rooms of the Hu family, well, I heard that the daughter of the governor of Rong is also in Beijing, if it doesn't work, I will ask her to come and ask, see if there is any way." ”

Please Rong Lan come over? Isn't everything you've been busy with these days exposed? Zhao panicked for a moment, "No, Madame misunderstood, the concubine husband and wife really want to help Madame, but,"

She wiped her red eyes with a heart, "Since the concubine saw her wife, she was not abandoned by Mrs. Demeng, and treated the concubine as if she were her own sister, with her wife, the concubine was like the backbone of the master, and some words were not hidden from the lady,"

She didn't care about her face, and knelt down directly in front of Mrs. Quan, "Ask Mrs. to help the concubine, and help a group of concubines who are suffering from their lives!" ”

"What are these words? Hurry up, if it weren't for the deed with you, I wouldn't see you at any time, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it first," Mrs. Quan didn't expect the Zhao family to come to her like this, she just heard her son and daughter-in-law Zhou mutter, saying that the Hu family is only so rich, and the business of making a fortune is not a shop or a property, or even those money bank ticket numbers, but shipping, as long as the Hu family's big ship goes to sea, it will be a hundred times more profitable!

Mrs. Quan was moved by this hundredfold profit, and thought about taking the opportunity of the Zhao family to come up, throw some silver into the Hu family, and also make a profit, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she touched a nail here with the Zhao family, "If you don't want to help, you have to help you?" ”

"No, the concubine doesn't dare to deceive Madame, the concubine mother and daughter are careful about this, Madame is afraid that she has already seen it in her eyes," Zhao was willing to get up, leaned on the ground and mourned, "The eldest daughter of the concubine was sent to the old lady of Yuge to be his seventh aunt a few years ago, and the concubine can't bear to let her daughter be given away as a gift by their uncle at will, and I hope that Madame will be merciful and save them." ”

In order for her daughter to be selected for a while, there are countless people who have come to Xiuwuhou Mansion to befriend her, how could Mrs. Quan take Zhao's pitiful behavior in her eyes, "Call me to help?" How can I help? Help you Xue Rou Xueqing find two good relatives? It's not that hard, let me think about it......"

"No," the Zhao family was afraid that Mrs. Quan would have a good intention, so she really misunderstood her meaning, and found a family affair for her daughter, "The concubine knows that the old lady also intends to send people into the palace, and the lady has also seen it in the past few days, the two daughters of the concubine are not worse than the daughters of those official eunuchs, if they are supported by the lady, they will definitely treat the lady as their own mother, and our Hu family,"

Zhao was ruthless, "Madame also knows that the Hu family is just a businessman, if Xue Qing Xuerou can inherit the emperor's favor after entering the palace, the Hu family must be a different world, at that time, the concubine husband and wife are willing to serve the marquis as the master, it is a business on the sea, and the concubine husband and wife are also willing to share half of the income to Mrs. as a bonus!" ”

Is this it? Old Madam Quan looked the Zhao family with a sincere face up and down, "You deserve Second Master Hu's home?" I heard that sea boats are the cornucopia of the Hu family! ”

"If you deserve it, what is the use of the cornucopia if it is not in the hands of the concubine and the couple? The concubine told her lady the truth, instead of looking at people in the Hu family and letting people eat meat, it is better to dedicate these to the Hou Ye in order to seek protection! "No matter how good it is, it's useless for the Zhao family, if you can take the benefits of the big house and three rooms for your own benefit, what is the Zhao family unwilling to do?

Seeing that the old lady was still hesitating, Zhao said again, "The concubine is willing to write down the document of refuge, and in the future, the concubine is willing to serve the lord of the marquis!" ”

Essay? Mrs. Quan didn't expect that she would find such a large injection of silver for her son, "Since you are so sincere, I will be blind if I push it again, okay,"

She beckoned to call the Hu sisters who were shrunk aside, looked at them for a long time, and took off a pair of jade bracelets on their wrists and put them on one by one, "I also liked these two girls at first sight, but you husband and wife don't respect me, and I also want to help them run for a good future." ”

Mrs. Quan's promise was something that the Hu sisters had been looking forward to for a long time, and Hu Xueqing immediately knelt in front of Mrs. Quan, "If my sister has a future appearance, she will not forget Mrs. Quan's great kindness." ”

Mrs. Quan is not afraid that the Hu family will play the trick of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge with her, in her eyes, what is the Hu family? No matter how rich you are, it is not a merchant who will not enter the stream, "You all get up, this matter, we have to plan slowly, no matter how good you two are, you are also surnamed Hu, aren't you?" It's not difficult for you to enter the palace, but it's impossible to count the twenty show girls,"

can't be used as a show girl to enter the palace as an alternative, knowing that this is also expected, but the Zhao family is still a little disappointed, so even if the daughter enters the holy eye, it will be difficult to find a high position.

Hu Xueqing was more open than Zhao, and said with a smile, "Our sisters are the people on which brand, it is already a fluke to be able to see Tianyan with the help of Mrs., and I dare not ask for any more luxury." ”

"It's still you who know, although you can't be asked to enter the palace as a show girl, but this entry into the palace is only the first step of the show girl, and the future creation is still personal," Mrs. Quan was very satisfied with Hu Xueqing's attitude, "Of course, it is also very important to have someone to help, I want to treat you as a daughter, so I will not spare these efforts." ”

Zhao's mother and daughter were grateful when they heard this, and after repeatedly showing their loyalty, they resigned with Mama Guo.

Out of the courtyard of the old lady Quan, the Zhao family couldn't walk anymore, and said to Mama, "Please be considerate of Mama, my legs are soft at this time, let's rest for a while and I'll go out slowly?" ”

Mama Guo smiled slightly, "Since Mrs. Zhao is tired, how about we go to Mrs. Hou's Chuyang Courtyard to rest?" ”

Mrs. Hou? Zhao looked at Mama Guo suspiciously, they had come to Xiuwu Hou's Mansion several times, but they didn't see Mrs. Xiuwu Hou, for this noble and illustrious Mrs. Hou, Zhao still wanted to make friends, she couldn't care about being tired, and she was busy arranging her dress and said, "How is this good?" Isn't it too abrupt for us to just go over like this? ”

"Don't worry, my wife, I also heard that my wife often comes to the house, and I just want to see her," Mama Guo didn't give Zhao a chance to speak again, and walked straight in the direction of Chuyang Courtyard.

Hu Xueqing pulled Zhao and signaled her to stop talking, just follow the people honestly, this Mama Guo is Mrs. Quan's person, but she is doing things for Mrs. Hou, the meaning of this is thought-provoking.

Zhou Yan's Chuyang Courtyard is in the middle of the backyard of the Xiuwu Marquis's Mansion, and the courtyard of Mrs. Quan's is not far away.

"The concubine has seen Mrs., Mrs. Wan'an,"

Zhao peeked at this warm pavilion, and saw that there were Western glass windows on all sides, exquisite wooden frames embedded in the walls, and hundreds of bronze furnaces on it.

The red sandalwood in the room, and the cloisonne flower on the single partition, I am afraid that I don't want to move back without a few hundred taels of silver. In the corner of the house, a few maids dressed in goose yellow sprinkled flowers and narrow silver jackets, and honey-colored sprinkled flower pleated Luo skirts, stood with their heads down, and none of them even raised their eyes to look at them.

Zhou Yan was leaning on a dark red Shu brocade peony pattern pillow, drinking tea elegantly, Zhao's expression fell in her eyes, "Get up, I don't have anything to do, I just heard that the head of the family said that the wife of the Hu family often comes to the house, and she also brings a pair of sister flowers like flowers and jade, so I invite you to come and meet." ”

Hu Xueqing and Hu Xuerou didn't wait for Zhou Yan to ask them, they hurriedly stepped forward and saluted Zhou Yan in a proper manner, "The folk girl has seen Mrs. Xiuwuhou, Mrs. Antai." ”

"Well, it's really good," the Hu sisters are already long-term, and they were born of a child, and when they go there, they are particularly eye-catching, Zhou Yan understands Zhao's unwillingness, "Sit down." ”
