After persuading for a while, Hu Zhang finally agreed.

Hu Jiaren said that he would do it, and immediately sent someone to count the shops and goods. The family did not disagree, because the Hu family did not have a man, so it was decided earlier, and she, as the daughter of the Hu family, would recruit a son-in-law to inherit the Hu family.

Having arranged for reliable people to run errands, she turned to the people who were stuck at the door. The people who come and go with the Hu family are also old friends for many years. This time, the Hu family was in trouble, and it didn't matter what happened, these people actually came to the door like this.

There are only two situations, one is that these people are not face-saving with the Hu family, and they want to clear up the relationship when they see that the Hu family has something. I came to ask for the account now, but I was afraid that my money would be lost.

There is also a situation where the actions of these people are instructed by someone. The decision-making people of the Hu family were put in prison, and only the women and children were left, and if they were forced and frightened, they would make wrong decisions.

The Hu family has been in business for so many years, even if the Hu family is kind to people everywhere, it is impossible not to have a little enemy. I can't say that I am the enemy, and I want to take the opportunity to destroy the Hu family in one fell swoop.

However, what Hu Jiaren is concerned about is whether there is a guard in this matter.

She didn't know much about the garrison. It's just that I heard that the guard's surname is Zheng, and his wife gave birth to three daughters in a row, and then gave birth to his only son, who loves his young son very much. And this garrison boy seems to be only seventeen this year.

Although this garrison boy has a bad reputation in the city, he really hasn't done anything too oppressive. At most, he took the dogs and teased the big girl and the little daughter-in-law on the street. Those who know can't be provoked, and they are far away.

But even more excessive, this garrison boy has never done it.

There is no shortage of money in his family, and the family spoils this only man, so it can be said that he wants anything. There are also a lot of beautiful maids in the family, although they will laugh a few words when they see a beautiful one, but they have really never done anything to rob people's daughters.

Hu Jiaren wanted to know what Zheng Shoubei meant now. is to vent his anger for his only son, so that the Hu family can hurt their muscles and bones. Or is it really as the guard boy said, if you don't see anyone, you won't let go, and you have to eat her family's swan meat to finish?

In any case, let's get rid of all the people gathered in front of the house. Let them continue to make trouble, others really think that the Hu family is going to fall, so how good is it to follow the trend and make trouble.

"Tangerine, pass the word and invite the people in front of the door, in groups of five, to the hall for tea." Hu Jiaren said lightly: "Since they came to ask for accounts, then I will go and settle accounts with them." ”

"Yes." Tangerine looked at the momentum of his eldest lady, and thought that the big thing could be solved. Anyway, after following the eldest lady for so long, she has never seen it, and there is something unfair about the eldest lady.

Looking at the oranges that had withdrawn, Hu Jiaren called the tent man at home again, and asked the people in the tent to start weighing the silver.

Until it was dark and sent away the last person who asked for the account, Hu Jiaren felt that the bones in his body were about to fall apart. She's been on the road for days, and she's been busy until now when she comes back.

But she couldn't rest yet.

"Mother, do any of the ladies you come and go with on weekdays who are familiar with the garrison lady?"

Hu Zhang's family saw that his daughter was busy and tired, and she had to deal with those people before she was old, and she was guilty and distressed. It's just that she can't, she can't settle accounts, only the eldest daughter has learned the ability to keep accounts and settle accounts, and the younger daughter can't either.

Although he couldn't help, Hu Zhang's family sat with him from beginning to end. With her here, those people didn't dare to underestimate her daughter too much.

Hearing this sentence at this time, he hurriedly thought about it and replied: "The cousin of Mrs. Liu has some relatives with Mrs. Garrison's cousin, and I heard them mention it in the past, and there are still some contacts during the New Year's Festival. ”

It's a little too far.

Resisting the urge to hold his forehead, Hu Jiaren said helplessly: "Although the relationship is farther away, it is better than nothing." Tomorrow, I will bother my mother, prepare some valuable gifts, and find a way to meet with Mrs. Garrison. ”

"You don't need to say much, just be careful. But whatever advice the garrison lady makes, you have to hold it steady and don't take it lightly. Let's see what the attitude of the guard lady is, and then we will make a countermeasure. ”

Although the status of the current businessman is not in the lowly ranks, the inherent views of the past have always stayed in people's opinions, and they don't look down on businessmen.

At this time, the imperial examination system had only come out for a long time, but it had been clearly stipulated that businessmen and some lowly people were not allowed to participate in the scientific examination.

If the merchant woman wanted to see the garrison's wife, she could only rely on someone to introduce her.

Hu Jiaren didn't know the temperament of Mrs. Garrison, and was actually a little worried, but she was an unmarried little girl, and it was not appropriate for her to meet an unfamiliar lady. And the matter of the shop has to be handled by her, and she has to have a headache on how to arrange those guys after the shop is closed.

With Hu Zhang's temperament, she was not worried that she would offend Mrs. Garrison, but she was afraid that Mrs. Garrison would embarrass her.

But things had to be done.

"Mother, thank you for your hard work." Hu Jiaren sighed lightly: "At that time, my mother will definitely be wronged." ”

Hu Zhang, who had been tense, chuckled lightly at this time, raised his hand to stroke the eldest daughter's still very immature face, and said softly: "A little grievance is nothing, as long as our family can be good, my mother will not feel hard, nor will she feel wronged." ”

"Jia'er, don't worry, my mother will make amends to Mrs. Garrison, and when your father comes back, you don't have to work so hard."

"It's your father, I don't know how much of a crime I will suffer."

Hu Jiaren doesn't feel hard, she has to support this family in the future, and there is nothing wrong with getting used to it in advance now. But she was also worried about her father's situation in prison. Although I asked people to take care of it, I deliberately let him be locked up in one room, but I was still worried that there would be a prison bully or something.

I hope that the silver will be worth the money.

Holding Hu Zhang's hand soothingly, Hu Jiaren said, "Let the housekeeper run again tomorrow to see if we can let our father side." ”

As long as people can see it, let the family bring food to them, so that they can suffer less sin.

This night, the Hu family did not sleep well.

Hu Jiaren was dealing with the affairs of the shop at home, and at the same time was concerned about seeing the garrison's wife, and gave a lot of silver gifts, and finally opened his mouth, willing to bring Hu Zhang's family to the banquet of a certain family.

The garrison lady is naturally a guest, and nine times out of ten she will go to the banquet. Whether you can meet people or not depends on this time.

In addition, they also successfully met Hu Changan in prison, and the situation was not too bad. Except for the fact that he looked a little sluggish, he was not punished.

The jailer also agreed to let the Hu family deliver food, but if those meals were to be delivered to Hu Chang'an's mouth, they would have to feed the jailers as well.
