Chapter 81: The Lower Nine Streams

The little รท said โ—Ž Net], the โ™‚ little รท said โ—Ž Net],

Zhou Aya'er's crying also stopped, and she stared at Chu Qinghe with shocked eyes, as if she didn't expect that Uncle Hou, who had always cared about her, would make such a terrible decision.

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but it was she who proposed to leave the Fuguo Marquis Mansion by herself, if she regretted it now, wouldn't it be a self-defeating mouth?

Zhou Shiqiang squeezed out a smile, and she said in a hoarse voice, "It's still the thoughtfulness of Master Hou, your great kindness, the little woman is unforgettable." โ€

When she spoke, the woman's eyes were slightly red, and two lines of tears slid down her pale cheeks, coupled with the quiet fragrance diffused around her body, she looked pitiful, and people couldn't help but have a little thought of care.

It's a pity that Chu Qinghe was not half moved.

He said that Zhou's mother and daughter were benevolent and righteous, bought a house for them in the capital, and sent someone to Luoyang to ask for the land deed back, so that the two of them would eat and drink for the rest of their lives, and they could be regarded as worthy of the dead Zhou Hongyong.

The man waved his hand, and the guard sent the stunned woman back to the room.

As the hostess of the Hou Mansion, what happened in the front yard naturally couldn't be hidden from Xue Su, not to mention that Qiu Ju was well-informed and was talking endlessly at the moment.

"Steward Li sent someone to clean up the house this morning, just waiting to send Zhou's mother and daughter over, weren't you still embarrassed at first? I didn't know how to speak, but I didn't think that Miss Aya'er would take the initiative to ask to leave, and she was really conscious. โ€

Snow White Hao has a string of green jade beads on his wrist, Xue Su's skin is already white, and under the background of the thick green, his complexion looks more soft, as if he can pinch out water.

She smiled meaninglessly, "Do you think they really want to leave the Hou Mansion?" It's just that retreat is advancing, who thought that Hou Ye gave birth to a pair of rectums, and there were not so many twists and turns, I really thought that they had made up their minds to leave, so they sent people away. โ€

Qiu Ju was stunned, opened her mouth wide, the weak and pitiful appearance of Zhou's mother and daughter appeared in her mind, she didn't look like a scheming woman at all, did she look away?

After all, she has lived two lives, Xue Su's eyesight is much stronger than Chunlan Qiuju, and she can see that the Zhou family has bad intentions from the beginning, but because the woman is the widow of the soldier, it is not easy to open her mouth to drive people away, and now they are lifting a stone to shoot themselves in the foot, but they can't complain about her.

"Go and pack up the beaded hairpin jewelry, add some silk, and send them to the house tomorrow, the outsiders in the province say that I am not generous and cannot tolerate people."

Chunlan sat on the small pestle, holding a jade beauty hammer in her hand, knocked her master's leg at once, and whispered:

"If you are not generous, there is really no generous person in this world, and you will give this and that to women with bad intentions, even if the private museum is very profitable, it can't afford to toss like this."

After a pause, she sighed, "I'm afraid you don't know, Cheng Sanniang opened a beauty shop in the east of the city, I heard that it was the young lady of the Xiao family who gave a lot of silver, and a group of noble girls went there, and Yan Ruyu's business was much colder." โ€

The young lady of the Xiao family has no one else except Xiao Hongyun.

Calculating the time, Xiao Guifei's case is about to break out, I don't know if Cheng Sanniang's life will be as good as it is now after the backer falls.

"Why bother thinking about it? There is no good decoction in her private hall at all, even if she has the support of the Xiao family, can she make a woman with an ordinary complexion change her face for no reason? โ€

Xue Su was extremely glad that he had hidden the book containing the secret recipe in the kang cave, and it was gnawed to pieces by the rats, and there were not a few useful recipes left.

The so-called Qiao woman is difficult to cook without rice, even if Cheng Sanniang has great ability, she can't conjure up a secret recipe out of thin air, so she naturally doesn't have to worry.

"But...... Miss Tan also went to Beauty's Place. Chunlan snorted, with obvious anger on her delicate face, and her face flushed with anger.

It's no wonder that this maid is so angry, Tan Yuanqing is Chu Qinghe's righteous sister, in the eyes of outsiders, she should have a closer relationship with Xue Su, and now she has gone to the beauty shop in the east of the city, instead of Yan Ruyu, outsiders say that her lady's character is not good, and she can't be on the stage, so she broke away from her sister.

Hearing this, Xue Su gasped, her red nails trembled, and her face immediately turned cold, "Don't worry about her, Tan Yuanqing is willing to contact Cheng Sanniang, maybe he will be bitten by a poisonous snake on the throat, have you forgotten what happened to Wei Yuying?" โ€

Thinking of the red and swollen face of the daughter of the county magistrate, Chunlan and Qiuju lowered their heads together, and a little fear could be faintly seen in their eyes, and they were obviously very worried.

------

Beauty's Place.

Tan Yuanqing lay on the bed in the private room, let the maid apply the light yellow seven white paste to her face, she closed her eyes, and asked, "Does facial massage really work?" Can I make my complexion fairer? โ€

Cheng Sanniang stood aside, a smile overflowed in the fox's eyes, and she said continuously, "That's nature, the effect of the seven white ointments has long been spread in the capital, Miss Tan can't believe Yan Ruyu, and she shouldn't doubt the concubine's body, after all, the ointment is the ancestral thing of the concubine's body, but the Xue family is despicable and stole things, so that they can gain a firm foothold in the capital." โ€

Tan Yuanqing snorted in a low voice, "The Xue family is also the wife of the Marquis of the Auxiliary Kingdom, how can he do such a thing?" It's shameless to take your secret recipe by force. โ€

Cheng Sanniang cooperated with two tears, she hated Xue Su very much, as long as she remembered that the life in her dream no longer existed, she couldn't wait to peel off that slut's skin alive.

"Don't worry, I'll tell my dad about this, and he will be in charge at that time, and your secret recipe will definitely come back."

The woman's voice was crisp, and it sounded like a natural sound in Cheng Sanniang's ears, she never thought that Tan Yuanqing would take the initiative to help, Xue Su, Xue Su, your good days should come to an end!

Qibai ointment was applied for a full quarter of an hour before it was scrubbed clean with water, Tan Yuanqing held the bronze mirror in his hand, and took a careful look at it, showing a trace of satisfaction in his phoenix eyes.

After leaving from the beauty shop, she went directly back to Tan's mansion and entered the study in the front yard.

Today, Tan Zheng was resting, and he was sitting in the room reading a book at the moment, when he heard the report of the little girl, the man with a gentle face raised his head and said with a smile: "Why did Yuan Qing come over?" โ€

Sitting on the round stool next to the desk, she showed a hesitant look on her face, and she muttered for a long time before she muttered, "Father, my daughter doesn't know whether to talk about something or not." โ€

"What?"

"A few days ago, my daughter met a woman named Cheng Sanniang, her hometown is also in Jingyang, and she opened a private museum in the east of the city." Tan Yuanqing lowered his head, a hint of darkness flashed in his eyes, and continued, "The things sold in the store are exactly the same as Yan Ruyu opened by Su Niang, and my daughter heard that Su Niang's secret recipe seems to have been obtained from Cheng Sanniang......

Tan Zhengren is as his name suggests, very upright, at this moment his face was gloomy for a moment, and he frowned and said:

"You only listened to Cheng's words, and you were suspicious of Su Niang, so you can't help but be a little biased."

Tan Yuanqing raised his eyes and retorted, "Dad should know that Su Niang is an ordinary peasant woman, living in the village since she was a child, how can she come into contact with the secret recipe for beauty and beauty?" But the Cheng family is different, they have been doing business for decades, which many people know, and naturally they can't fake it. โ€

The scroll in his hand was put down, Tan Zheng didn't want to believe that Yizi really married a greedy woman as his wife, but things had come to this point, and if he didn't investigate clearly, he wouldn't be at ease.

"That's it, anyway, there's nothing to do today, just go to the Hou Mansion for a trip."

Hearing this, Tan Yuanqing secretly gloated in her heart, but she didn't show the slightest clue on her face, as if she was really just uneasy and would stand up for Cheng Sanniang.

Tan Zheng rushed to Tonghua Lane in a carriage, and when she heard the report of her subordinates, Xue Su still didn't react, she was stunned for a moment, and said to Qiu Ju, "You go to the camp in the north of the city and invite the Hou Ye back." โ€

Because Tan was an elder, Xue Su didn't want him to wait too long, so he quickly rushed to the front yard, and bowed down to the middle-aged man Yingying as soon as he entered the door.

"Su Niang greets my father-in-law."

"No need to be polite." The knuckles rubbed the edge of the teacup, and Tan Zheng's tone was a little cold, although it was not obvious, but the woman's mind was more detailed, and she immediately noticed the difference.

The smile on her face froze, and before Xue Su could speak, she heard the questioning words.

"Su Niang, the secret recipe for your private museum is related to Cheng Sanniang? If you take someone else's things, return them as soon as possible, the official does not compete with the people for profit, you are also a dignified wife of the Auxiliary Marquis, why do you have to show up and go to the current ninth-rate businessman? โ€

From the very beginning, Tan Zheng was very dissatisfied with Xue Su's private restaurant, but Chu Qinghe had been protecting his wife and discussing with him in a good voice, which made his attitude soften a little.

How could I think that Xue Su was in business, the secret recipe was not clean, so if he ruined Qinghe's reputation, what should he do?

The courtiers have always looked down on the generals, and they are eyeing his righteous son, eager to completely destroy the Fuguo Marquis's Mansion.

Marrying a wife should be virtuous, but in addition to having a beautiful skin, the Xue family has nothing to do with the word virtuous.

Hearing the suspicion in Tan Zheng's words, the woman's expression became very ugly, the secret recipe for opening a private museum was clearly a relic left by her mother, but Cheng Sanniang was thicker than the city wall, and it didn't matter if she stole things, and poured dirty water on herself.

Xue Suyin's teeth were clenched, and his plump chest continued to rise and fall, obviously angry.

"Father-in-law, my secret recipe has nothing to do with Cheng Sanniang, how can you wronged me because of her one-sided words?"

Tan Zheng didn't expect her to dare to talk back, so he couldn't help frowning and said, "I don't know what this matter is, but it's not appropriate to do business, you better close the private hall as soon as possible, so as not to cause trouble." โ€
