Xu Ming listened to He Ningxin's words, and was a little puzzled, frowning and thinking about it. What does Madame mean,.........,? ”

He Ningxin put the piece of paper on the rosewood table beside her, knocked it on it with her fingers, and said, "You go to find some people, it's best to find a few irrelevant people to come over, and pass a word on these four shops, just say that they provoke people who shouldn't be messed with." If you want to save your life, it's best to leave the store behind and ask for more blessings. ”

Xu Ming was taken aback: Madame is interested in these shops and wants to order them?

He Ningxin nodded and said, "Buy the deed paper from them, but don't go to the official mansion to pass the file."

As for their debts, they also changed hands and took them over. ”

If the merchants of the Great Qi Dynasty fail to operate and cannot repay their debts, their fate will be in the hands of the creditors. Some creditors have a good heart, and when they run the other party clean, they will stop it, and they will also give the other party a few taels of silver to go back to their hometown, so that they will not force the other party into a corner and cause death.

If someone dies, the government will intervene. As soon as the government intervenes, regardless of whether the creditor is justified or not, it will ask for money to open the way. Therefore, real businessmen know that harmony makes money, and they will not do this kind of thing that drives people to death.

And the opponents faced by these four shops seem to be far from being as simple as real businessmen.

Since they are not real businessmen, it is not so easy for these shops to get out of the way.

Xu Ming was dumbfounded and asked, "Madam, you don't know who they have provoked and how much debt they owe, how can they rashly accept this hot potato?" Even if Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Xu's mother-in-law, has confidence, she can't stand Mrs. from "squandering" like this!

The corners of He Ningxin's mouth curled slightly, and she said to Xu Ming: "Take my post, attach the deed paper and IOUs of these four shops, and send them to the Anjun Palace." Let's just say that it is a small gift from our grandfather to Tiqi. ”

Ti rides around outside, and needs to marry multiple identities to cover. As for the identity of the merchants, they can easily get a road guide from the local government and walk around the territory of the Great Qi Dynasty, or they can go out of the borders of the Great Qi Dynasty and go north to the country of the Yi people and to the territory of the Qiang people in the south.

These four shops, judging from what Xu Ming just said, are also time-honored brands in the capital.

Changing owners, not changing partners, is a great good for Tiqi.

Xu Ming breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, and said with a smile: "Madame speaks, don't wait for such a big pant, and the villain will be scared to sweat." ”

He Ningxin shook it in front of him with an ivory-handled wisteria frame Tianshui Bituan fan, and said with a smile: "The store has changed hands, and of course the IOU will follow."

I don't believe that the person hiding behind the curtain dares to argue with Tiqi. ”

When the time comes, how much money to lose is not up to Ti Qi. Maybe the people behind the scenes thought that these four shops had climbed on the Tiqi, and if they had a little look, they would let them go, so that these shops who had suffered from the pond fish could save their lives.

"If Tiqi takes over, 1 villain estimates that there are probably no creditors who dare to come to the door to collect debts.

The first lady's move is to take the chestnut in the fire. Xu Ming stroked his beard with a smile, and said with some emotion.

He Ningxin also sighed, put the fan on the table, picked up the previous piece of paper again, looked carefully at the situation of the four shops, smiled bitterly, and said, "So be fast, accurate, and ruthless, otherwise you will hurt yourself, and the gains outweigh the losses."

I have to pay more attention to this matter. It's best to take out our Zhenguo Mansion, except for King Anjun, there won't be a second person who knows. ”

Xu Ming hurriedly bowed and said, "Madame, don't worry." These things, 1 villain has done countless times with Mrs. Xu before, and no one has really seen who the owner behind the scenes is. ”

He Ningxin also knows the ability of his mother, Mrs. Xu, Dongyang Xu has always pursued the principle of "making a fortune in a muffled voice", and it should be easy to do this kind of thing.

Xu Ming took over this errand, and began to look for candidates, make all kinds of games, and inventory the four stores one by one.

Pei Shufen was in the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion, but she was getting more and more anxious day by day, seeing that another five days had passed, she sent several groups of people out one after another, but she still did not rush back the silver.

Now in the backyard of the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion, not only the second room, but even the old lady's Cining courtyard began to complain.

In the past few days, Pei Shufen has been gritting her teeth and taking her private house out to support the expenses of the house.

And she was still a little reluctant to use her private money to make a monthly case, and she had been hesitating.

On this day, the person she sent out for the fifth time came back with a sad face and said to Pei Shufen: "Madam, then go home to the store and change hands." ”

Pei Shufen stood up from her chair in surprise and said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about?!" How can they walk away if they owe us money? Who ate the bear's heart and cat's gall and dared to take this hot potato? ”

The man's eyes flickered, and he refused to speak.

Seeing this, Pei Shufen sneered and said, "Don't you say it, do you think I won't be able to find out?" ”

The man was so frightened that he knelt down for Pei Shufen, and said aggressively: "Madame, spare your life!" A villain saw a notice posted on the door panel of the four shops, saying that the creditor was collecting debts, and he could go to Anpingfang to find someone surnamed Chen, and he could get the silver. 1 The villain was anxious for a while, so he went to Anpingfang, saw the uncle surnamed Chen, and showed him the IOU in our hand, and as a result, he said, he said, Ningyuan Marquis Mansion is an official body, and it is a violation of the law of Great Qi to put the money in Yinzi"

The man's voice grew lower and lower, until finally it was inaudible.

Pei Shufen was so angry that he leaned back and sat down on his chair, pointed at the man with the fan in his hand, and said angrily: "You are a waste who has not achieved enough things and has more than enough failures, what is the use of our Hou Mansion raising you?!" As soon as someone comes, drag him down for me and hit him with fifty boards! ”

Seeing that the man was dragged down by a few mothers-in-law and went to the outer courtyard to play the board, Pei Shufen felt better, but she felt a little exhausted, put her elbows on the table, and supported her head with her hands, not knowing how to get through this pass.

Tongyun on the side quietly stepped forward, leaned over Pei Shufen's ear, and said softly: "Madam, let's put Yinzi money outside, and use Tongxing's name......

The corners of Pei Shufen's mouth curled, and said, "Do you still need to say it?" First, I'm not worried about the outside, I'm worried about the house. "If it is really some great big man who has taken over these four stores, judging from what the boss surnamed Chen said today, he has made up his mind to repay the debt. His identity, the Marquis of Ningyuan's Mansion, has become an elbow, and he can't be put on the table at all.

Thinking about it, Pei Shufen couldn't think of any other way. She wasn't stupid, and she knew that there must have been something that happened that she didn't know about that caused such a result.

Originally, her only reliance was the signboard of the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion. However, they showed the identity of the Marquis of Ningyuan, but the other party brought out the Great Qi Law to perfunctory. Obviously, the backstage of these people did not take the Marquis of Ningyuan Mansion into account at all. Otherwise, ordinary merchants, it is too late to send money to the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion, how can they deliberately make things difficult like this? Besides, it was originally the silver they owed to the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion, where was there anyone who owed silver, more powerful than the creditor?!

At dinner in the evening, the second lady Huang once again raised the topic of the moon falling. This time, she had no scruples and asked in front of everyone, "May I ask Madam, when will our monthly list be issued?" ”

Pei Shufen knew that she couldn't shirk it anymore, gritted her teeth, and said, "Ming'er, you come to Zhonglan Courtyard to get the silver." In the past few days, the shop outside needs to be turned, and it has been delayed a little. Now that the money has been recovered, the second brother and sister are in a hurry. I really couldn't help it, and deliberately stabbed the second lady a few words, and said, "The second brother and sister are also anxious." Your family, including your mother-in-law and subordinates, all live in the Hou Mansion, with food, clothing and housing, which one is not the money in the mansion?

There is never a place for your own money. Over the years, your monthly silver, four festivals and eight ceremonies, has not been short once, I don't believe that you have no silver or two of two second brothers and sisters, waiting for these monthly cases to buy rice and put it in the pot! ”

The second lady didn't want to anger Pei Shufen too much when she heard that there would be a silver collar tomorrow, so she said with a smile: "Sister-in-law is a family member, of course everything is cheap." We pointed to the sister-in-law to eat, it must not be as generous as the sister-in-law. ”

Mrs. Ningyuan Hou sat on the top and watched Yi'er and Qianqian eat with a smile, but she didn't hear the verbal war between the two daughters-in-law below.

~ Anyway, no matter who is missing in this house, there will be no shortage of Mrs. Tai. Mrs. Tai's monthly case, Pei Shufen made up for it with her private room early in the morning.

While eating, Yi'er and Qianqian secretly exchanged glances with each other and smiled secretly.

Early the next morning, the gate of Zhonglan Courtyard was crowded with the owners and subordinates who came to receive the silver.

Pei Shufen was reluctant, so he had to open his own cage, save his private house for more than a year, and when he got married, the money given by the Pei family was ordered to Tongyue and Tongyun to take it out one by one, put it in the box when it was used in the past, and carry it to the side hall to distribute it according to the head.

Seeing that Bai Huāhuā's silver grew and ran away by itself, Pei Shufen's heart was like a knife, and he felt that his stomach cramped like a pain, so he instructed Tong Yue: "If you look at the people in the tent over there handing out the silver, I won't go." Take a break here. ”

Tongyue saluted Pei Shufen and went out first.

Tongyun took the beauty and hammered it, thoughtfully knelt on the footboard of the Qiangong stepping bed, and gently whipped Pei Shufen's legs.

Pei Shufen closed her eyes, only feeling lazy, and wanted to sleep very much.

In the afternoon, Ningyuan Hou Chuhua came back from the court, and listened to the chief steward Qin Lisheng report another thing in the outer courtyard, and said: "Master Hou, there is a government messenger from Shuntian Mansion who came to send a summons, saying that there are people in our mansion who have violated the law and want to be investigated." ”

Chu Huajin was taken aback, then sneered a little, and said, "Hmph, I expected them to have this trick." I was prepared. As he spoke, he picked up the summons and glanced at it, then threw it on the table, and said, "Didn't they want" Pei Tongxing, ? … I told my wife that I would give them the right time. ”

Qin Lisheng sighed a few times in his heart, but his face showed embarrassment, and said, "Master Hou, Tongxing belongs to Master Hou..."

Chu Hua sighed, got up and straightened his robe, and laughed indifferently: "It's just a maid, can it be said to be my person?" … There are countless people who are there. So saying, he went back to the inner courtyard.

Pei Shufen had been lying on the bed in the inner room for a whole day, and when Chu Huajin came in, she was startled, and hurriedly got up and asked, "Why did Master Hou come over?" Have you eaten? He said with a bitter face: "Master Hou, the concubine is a little uncomfortable, so I won't go to dinner today, and I ask Master Hou to help the concubine talk to my mother." ”

Chu Hua knew why Pei Shufen was in a bad mood, so he climbed her shoulder and whispered in her ear: "Don't be too sad." Those are all small money, don't worry, I will help you, and our future children, have been planned for a long time"...... When Pei Shufen heard this, her heart moved, and she looked at Chu Hua and said with a smile: "Master Hou, don't coax me, I'm a solid person, whatever Master Hou says, I will believe anything." "I was so affectionate that I didn't even say anything about the "concubine".

Chu Huajin nodded with a smile and said, "You'll know when the time comes."

In the future, if you are willing, I will let you follow Lisheng to manage a few shops in our Ningyuan Marquis Mansion. Speaking of this, he remembered something and said: "Those shops in the past were all the names of your sister Shu Fan." Over the years, I have changed a few shops and put them under your name. ”

Pei Shufen was overjoyed, looked at Chu Huajin's eyes and asked, "Really?!" ”

"It's not steamed, it's boiled." Chu Huajin laughed again, then pulled Pei Shufen up, and said, "I'm lazy, dress up beautifully, and go to dinner with me." Don't let the second room see the joke. ”

Pei Shufen felt that her spirit was back, so she hurriedly got up and widened her homely robe, changed into a narrow sleeved waist shirt embroidered with dark green cloud yarn embroidered with tangled plum huā, tied a lake-green spun silk horse-faced skirt below, and a two-inch-wide green jade ribbon on her waist, outlining a slender waist, making it more and more obvious that her chest and hips were high, and her slender waist was not full of hand.

Chu Huajin looked a little dazed, but he didn't dare to make a mistake, sighed heavily, leaned over to Pei Shufen, and asked softly, "Are you better?" ”

Pei Shufen looked back with a smile, glanced at Chu Huajin, and said deliberately: "How can there be." I'm still sick.

A marquis can be self-respecting. ”

Chu Huajin smiled and flicked it on her forehead, and pulled her to dinner.

At this moment, it is also the time for dinner in the palace.

The imperial concubine Zhou was a little upset, but she just used a bowl of well water to soak the Yutian rouge rice and green porridge, and then used a little pickle melon, then put it down, and walked to the back garden of her palace alone.

Leaning on the railing of the peony pavilion in a daze.

This morning, at the call of the saint, she went to the imperial study to accompany her, but she met an old man who thought she would never see again in this life, Ouyang Xun. This Ouyang asked Lord Ouyang to be a two-rank jinshi of the Jiaxiang Dynasty. He is not young, and now he is also thirty-five, and he is unknown on weekdays, and he has been doing the position of Hanlin editor in the Hanlin Academy, and he has been doing it for more than ten years.

This Lord Ouyang Xun also had an identity before, and he was the former fiancΓ© of Pei Shufan, the first wife of Ning Yuan.

It was said in the wedge that Pei Shufan and Chu Huajin were originally married, but they both withdrew from their marriages before they could marry another.

Two more in one. There are three more wood. When I was in the company today, I was able to go home early in the future, but I miscalculated, and I was ordered by my boss to work overtime when I was leaving
