Guo Xiaoxiao found the position he had sat in before and sat down. Yuan Shaocheng smiled at her, and then sat down.

"The hometown teahouse is still a familiar taste." Guo Xiaoxiao said.

"yes."

After Xiao Er served tea, Guo Xiaoxiao poured himself a cup and said, "I don't plan to give up Zijinfang, but I don't know what to do." Since March, Linglong Fang on East Street has competed with me, and the other party has repeatedly lowered prices, and Zijin Fang's losses have become more and more serious. ”

"Repeated price cuts?"

"Well, no matter the cost."

Yuan Shaocheng thought for a while and said, "This is against the laws of the Ming Dynasty. Maliciously suppressing competitors by reducing prices is a violation of the laws of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"What do you mean?"

"You should go to the yamen and file a lawsuit for them."

"But I don't have enough evidence yet."

"Then I'm going to look for evidence. If they really did it on purpose, then you can sue them. Otherwise, they will get worse. ”

Guo Xiaoxiao has been in contact with the business for some time, and he knows a little bit about it. Linglong Fang is suppressing Zijin Fang like a wolf and a tiger, but there is a possibility of intensification. The human heart is like this, for those who do not resist, they will only continue to oppress and exploit.

So the most important thing now is to grasp the evidence, the evidence of the malicious competition of Linglongfang.

Guo Xiao ordered Datang to check, but did not find any evidence of price reduction. Guo Xiaoxiao thought to himself, if you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get the tiger?

Only by penetrating the interior of Linglong Fang can the truth be investigated. However, Guo Xiaoxiao, as the shopkeeper of Zijin Fang, how could he go in person! Even if you go, it will be considered a weasel New Year's greeting.

In desperation, she found Yuan Shaocheng. Yuan Shaocheng thought about it for a while and agreed.

Yuan Shaocheng went to Linglong Fang as a customer, pretending to customize embroidery, but the person in charge there saw that Yuan Shaocheng seemed to have a sincere heart to customize, so he quoted the price.

Yuan Shaocheng deliberately signed an order in Linglong Fang, which recorded the price of this transaction and stamped the private seal of Linglong Fang. In this way, Guo Xiaoxiao has evidence of malicious price reduction.

Before the lawsuit with Linglongfang, Guo Xiaoxiao still has someone to meet.

In the backyard of Guo's mansion, Guo Xiaoxiao stood under the pear tree and waited. Guo Qianqian walked in with gentle steps.

"What are you looking for me to do?" Guo Qianqian looked very impatient.

"Mingren doesn't say secret words, was Linglong Fang called to Yangzhou by your Han Mansion?"

"At the beginning, my father refused to hand over Zijinfang to you, so you held a grudge, asked your brother-in-law to find a relationship, and invited Linglong Fang to compete with Zijinfang. You know very well that the price of Zijinfang has always been relatively high, and ordinary people are not willing to buy it at all. In order to win customers and add new customers, you let Linglong Fang reduce the price and deliberately suppress Zijin Fang. ”

"Hahaha, you're so funny talking. Linglongfang is stationed in Yangzhou, that is the people themselves want to come, people raise prices and reduce prices, how can I be a woman who can control! ”

"Linglong Fang refuses to do loss-making transactions, you let the Han government make profits, and all losses will be borne by the Han government, if it is profitable, it will be divided with the Han government."

"Oh, you slander me. Daddy is gone, and you're bullying me! ”

"My brother-in-law has already told me and Pan, and he said that you picked him up, and he didn't want to do this."

"What?" Guo Qianqian panicked, "He...... What nonsense! ”

"He said he didn't want to see you continue to fall, let me persuade you."

"How he elbowed out! How could he! Guo Qianqian panicked, "It's right that I pleaded with him, but I didn't let him give up!" Those losses were originally shared by the Han government and Linglong Fang, how did it become an all-inclusive Korean government? ”

"So you really did it!" Guo Xiaoxiao looked at her with unbelievable eyes, "The Guo family is your maiden family, why are you doing this?" ”

"You...... You lied to me? Are you talking to me? Guo Qianqian panicked.

"If I don't fool you, I'll never know you're such a person! Daddy and Mom treat you very well, but you ...... But you are so ungrateful, and you will take revenge! ”

"Am I ungrateful? Will I take revenge? Guo Qianqian walked up to her, "When will you treat me like a sister?" Since I was a child, there is a world of difference between you and me, they call you a concubine, they call me a concubine, and the subordinates respectfully call your mother Mrs., while my mother can only be called aunt! I'll always be the bottom of you! ”

"Even though you and I have a concubine, my father has never loved you less than mine, on the contrary, my father loves you more than me!"

"Just pretend! Pretend to be virtuous and gentle, pretend to be your deep understanding of righteousness! You are Daddy's favorite daughter, enjoying the pampering of your parents, but you don't admit it. ”

"Qianqian, my father is no longer here, do you still want to say such things to break his heart?"

"Don't mention Daddy to me! You don't deserve it! Guo Qianqian was even more excited than her, "I was thinking, with you in the family, you can take care of your father, so you can rest assured that you will get married." Who knows, you took care of your daddy to the point of illness! ”

"I ...... My father passed away, and I am as sad as you, but I don't know why my father suddenly fell ill. My mother and I searched for famous doctors in Yangzhou, but even Dr. Yuan from Lilac Lane couldn't treat them. They all said that their father was suffering from a serious illness caused by hard work and overthinking when he was young, and there was no cure for it when he was old. We tried our best, but we still ......"

"Don't say any more!" Guo Qianqian yelled, "I don't want to listen to your nonsense." If it weren't for the fact that I was in confinement at the time, it would not have been your turn to take care of my father! ”

"Qianqian, why are you so resentful of me?"

"Because you are a concubine, I am a concubine." Her eyes were red, "My mother is my father's favorite woman, she is gentle and kind, beautiful and generous, if it weren't for your mother's sideways, my father couldn't resist the family, how could my father make my mother a concubine!" If it weren't for you and your mother, today's official lady and lady of Guofu should be me and my mother! ”

"You...... What nonsense are you talking about! My mother is married to Daddy Mingmei, and she gave birth to me before Duan's birth to you, how did she become my mother? ”

"Hahahaha, I'm afraid you don't know! It was my mother who met my father first! ”

"So what?"

"Huh, how's it going?" Guo Qianqian sneered and walked around behind Guo Xiaoxiao, "Let me tell you those old things." When my father was young, he went south to Hangzhou and met a poetic Jiangnan woman on the bank of the West Lake. Daddy fell in love with the woman at first sight, and immediately sent Steward Zhou to inquire about the woman's family history, but he didn't want to be discovered by the woman. ”

Guo Qianqian paused and said: "Daddy has a good character, and he is polite to that woman, and that woman likes Daddy because of this." The two fell in love and made a private agreement for life. Who knew that when my father returned to Shudi, my grandfather promised my father to marry Wu. My father was unwilling, but he couldn't resist his parents' wishes, so he married Wu as the main family. ”

There are two swallows perched on the eaves, as if listening to the poignant love on that end.

Daddy also knew that he couldn't live with the woman, and wanted to marry the woman into the door to be relieved. The woman was all about her father, and she agreed without much thought. However, only two or three years after entering the door, the woman collapsed, and until she died, she only got the title of an aunt, known as Aunt Duan. ”

Guo Xiaoxiao couldn't stand still, held on to the pear tree next to him, and calmed down for a long time before saying, "Even so, my mother and I have never looked down on you and the Duan family." We have never talked about the distinction between concubines and concubines, my father does not beat or scold you, allows you to spoil you, and my mother treats you very well. You ask yourself, when did your father and mother treat you badly? ”

"Hahahaha." Guo Qianqian looked up to the sky and laughed a few times, "Bad people never say that they are bad people, you have really thought and done this, how can you admit it?" Your mother is a smiling tiger, on the surface she is very good to me, but in fact, she wishes I would marry out as soon as possible, so that no one in the family will get in her way! ”

"How can you think that!" Guo Xiaoxiao stared at Guo Qianqian, "You can say that I'm not good, but my mother really treats you as her own, and even I will feel jealous when I look at it." It's hot, and she's worried about putting ice cubes in your room to cool off. It's cold, and she's worried about whether your clothes are warm enough and the mattress is thick enough. After you got married, she always wanted to go to the Han Mansion to see you, but she couldn't find a reason. Later, when you had a body, she was worried that your in-laws would treat you badly, so she made chicken soup and bird's nest and sent them to you all day long. How can you say she's a smiling tiger! ”

"Humph!" Guo Qianqian snorted coldly, "You just make it up, you just pretend to do it, you can't see that there is one more family property in the house, and I will share the family property with you." Now, I have become the young lady of the Han Mansion, and I can't share your family property......"

Guo Xiaoxiao lowered his head: "Why did we become like this?" Why are we like this? ”

She reached out and wanted to touch Guo Qianqian's face, but was pushed away by Guo Qianqian.

"Don't be pretentious, I don't need your pity!" Guo Qianqian said with tears in her eyes, "What if I pry Han Tianlei?" What if I ask Linglong Fang to suppress you? I'm going to take revenge on you, and I can't be happier to see you frowning for Zijinfang all day long. Anyway, none of the Guo family is mine, so it's better to destroy them all! ”

"Stupid!" Guo Xiaoxiao slapped Guo Qianqian and scolded, "Do you think you will be better off if you destroy Zijin Fang?" You still have a place in the Han family now, should you be the credit of Han Tianlei? Without your mother's support, can you stay in the Han family? Stupid, stupid! ”

Guo Qianqian stroked her face and said, "I'm sad now, it's not thanks to you!" If you hadn't stolen the beams and changed the pillars at the beginning, and you dragged me into the sedan chair and changed my clothes with me, how could I have been bullied by my mother-in-law all day long! ”

"You!" Guo Xiaoxiao pointed at Guo Qianqian with his finger, "Marrying Han Tianlei is your insistence on doing your own thing, but now you are blaming me!" Dad beat you that day, I shouldn't have stopped him, I should have let him beat you to death! ”

"Hahahaha." Guo Qianqian sat paralyzed on the ground, "You finally showed your true face, look at it, you still want me to die!" ”
