Gao Shiman glanced at Li Ling and said, "You don't know, before you came just now, His Highness and I had drunk bird's nest, so we weren't too hungry."

Qin Eryi said to Li Lingle when he heard this: "You also ate this woman's things?" ”

Li Ling only smiled, and Gao Shiman hurriedly said: "Who said that this is a woman's thing?" It nourishes the lungs and replenishes the deficiency, is it possible that only women have these problems? ”

Qin Er had always known that Gao Shiman knew a lot, so there was nothing unbelieving at the moment, so he nodded and said, "Then I will eat some in the future." ”

"Hey, did your family have a caravan that went overseas to buy some supplies and came back?" Gao Shiman thought that the Qin family was richer than the whole world, and the tentacles should be all over the world.

"What do you want?" Qin Er knew that Gao Shiman had something to say.

Gao Shiman thought that most of the high-yield and high-nutrient crops in his previous life were introduced to the Central Plains from Central and South America through Japan, the Philippines, Vietnam and other countries, so he said: "If your Qin family has a merchant ship to go to the south, bring some crop seeds back, I need some seeds." ”

"Oh? Which ones do you need? Qin Er also put down his chopsticks.

"Eat a little more, I'll tell you slowly," Gao Shiman thought hard.

Qin Er picked up the chopsticks again and ate them all at once, Gao Shiman said: "If you want me to say that I can't say the name, when the time comes, I will draw it and write an explanation, and then you will hand it over to the person who went to sea." ”

"Okay", Qin Er should go down. The three of them talked for a while, and before Gao Shiman left, Li Ling asked Xiao Manxin to take two boxes of bird's nest, and kept the box of opened bird's nest for Gao Shiman to take back, Gao Shiman was so happy that he said with a smile: "Your Highness Xie!" ”

Qin Er sent Gao Shiman back to the house, and he also returned to the house.

Since Qin Er released a rumor that Kang Shufang was scolding him everywhere for being a copper-smelling businessman, the Yao family began to criticize the proud second young lady of the Yao family. General Yao and Uncle Yao are both in the war, not in Beijing, the master of the family is Mrs. Yao, originally the housekeeper learned that Qin Er broke the contract, so he was in a hurry, and after telling Yao Liming, Yao Liming found Qin Erhu to stir up trouble, which made Qin Er annoyed and paid him liquidated damages.

Yao Liming took the liquidated damages and proudly went to Steward Ma, saying that he had forced the second master of the Qin family to pay the silver. Steward Ma is a distant relative of Mrs. Yao's Ma family, and when he saw that Yao Liming was so unavoidable, he couldn't say anything, so he was so anxious. If Madame knew that the Qin family had cut off the salt supply in his hands, wouldn't she scold herself to death? Later, I heard that Qin Er had cut off the salt supply because of the second young lady, so he was busy and ran to complain to his wife.

When Mrs. Yao heard that Steward Ma had come to ask for a meeting, and after inviting him in, she didn't see any different colors from him, so she smiled and said, "Don't tell me that something went wrong in business." ”

"Madam", Steward Ma immediately changed to a crying face and said: "The Qin family cut off our family's salt supply, and the little one told the second young master, but he ran to the second master Qin to make a big fuss and forced the second master to pay liquidated damages......"

"What!" Mrs. Yao was anxious and angry, "This idiot, didn't you ask the Qin family why they are like this?" ”

"The little one originally thought that Second Master Qin was for the silver, but later I found out that he was not because of this", Steward Ma was still crying with a sad face, but thinking that this matter had nothing to do with him, he was very calm in his heart.

"What's that for?" Mrs. Yao frowned.

"I heard...... The second young lady scolded the second master Qin everywhere outside for being a copper-smelling businessman and a lowly person, and the second master Qin was furious when he learned about it, so he ...... and cut off our salt supply. "What is called spreading falsehood, adding oil and vinegar. Anyway, watching a play is not afraid of the high stage, and Steward Ma also heard about it like this, so he also learned it to Mrs. Yao.

"Hehe......" Mrs. Yao was angry, "a lowly person? That Second Master Qin is the cousin of King Qi, the nephew of the Yin Concubine, what is cheap, but she, what kind of thing is she, since she entered our Yao family, she has not contributed at all, and she has not laid an egg until now, but she is restless outside, and now she has caused trouble for our family, okay! Good! Okay very! ”

It didn't take long to say that Kang Shufang married into the Yao family, and it was really too much to say that she failed to have children, but Mrs. Yao has always been lukewarm to Aunt Pang, and she doesn't like her son Yao Liming, so Yao Liming is not angry, and the daughter-in-law he married, Kang Shufang, often flatters this Mrs. Yao, Mrs. Yao because Kang's father had saved her only son Yao Ligong, so although she doesn't look down on Kang Shufang, she is not her own daughter-in-law anyway, and she is okay with her.

Now that he heard that Kang Shufang was in trouble, the good feeling in his heart disappeared in an instant, and even the words of laying eggs slipped out. Steward Ma didn't dare to make a sound, and quietly raised his eyes to look at Mrs. Yao, and saw that her face was full of anger, so he hurriedly lowered his head and shrunk his neck and pretended to be stupid.

Mrs. Yao gasped angrily and asked, "Why does Shufang want to scold Second Master Qin, and why did Second Master Qin offend her?" ”

Steward Ma raised his head and said cautiously: "I heard that once the second young lady was having dinner in Daoxiang Building, and Miss Gao went to the backyard and came back, the second young lady stopped her and sneered, saying that although she was married to Lord Shen, she still had to make friends with Second Master Qin and King Qi, and she didn't know how to love herself...... How do you know that King Qi and the second master of the Qin family heard it upstairs, and they didn't make a sound, just let the second young lady scold. ”

Mrs. Yao began to smile bitterly: "What happened later? ”

"Later, the second young lady scolded more and more energetically, saying that Second Master Qin was a copper-smelling businessman, and Miss Gao was not ashamed or anything......" Steward Ma glanced at Mrs. Yao again.

Mrs. Yao thought about chatting with the ladies of various families outside some time ago, and those ladies looked at her frequently, and she thought that because she wore a huge pearl headdress that day, those ladies looked at her, but now that she thinks about it, it should be because of that Kang Shufang, which is really a joke.

She was so angry that she didn't get angry, she said calmly: "Then Miss Gao can be friendly with King Qi and the second master of the Qin family, and she will not let her be so insulted, what happened?" ”

When Steward Ma saw that Mrs. asked again, he poured beans into his hearsay bamboo tube and poured them out in one go: "The specific cause is this, Miss Gao had just come back from Zhuangzi at that time, and the young lady stopped her and said that she was with a hillbilly, implying that she was also a hillbilly, but Miss Gao was not angry, and told a story about a girl who was dipped in sauce, which annoyed the young lady." ”

"What is the story of a girl with a big sauce?" Mrs. Yao was confused.

Steward Ma thought about it for a while, and then told the story roughly. After hearing this, Mrs. Yao didn't know whether to laugh or be angry, so she sat there and closed her eyes, and said after a while: "And then?" ”

"Then the young lady may think that Miss Gao is insinuating against her, so she later said that Miss Gao is married and is still with a lowly businessman." Steward Ma paused, saw that Mrs. didn't ask anymore, and continued to take care of herself: "Then Miss Gao heard that the young lady said that Second Master Qin was a lowly businessman, so she took Taishi Gong's "Historical Records" to talk about things, saying that Taishi Gong affirmed the value and role of businessmen in the book, and also said that businessmen are related to the lifeblood of the country's economy!" Speaking of this, Steward Ma couldn't help but dance with some eyebrows, to say that Miss Gao is really capable, he also feels that it is too unfair for the businessman to be cheap, and he heard the person who passed the word that Miss Gao was speechless at that time.

"Yes, this Miss Gao is also a well-read", Mrs. Yao nodded, "What happened later?" ”

"Later?" Steward Ma continued, "Later, Miss Gao said that what the young lady wore and what she ate in her mouth were all sold by the merchants, so she would not eat them in the future...... Don't wear it, in order to show that she is high, the young lady cursed Miss Gao in anger and was dismissed by the Shen family. ”

Steward Ma saw that Mrs. Yao's face was not different, and continued: "Miss Gao later said that if she was divorced, she could still remarry, and she also laughed at the young lady for being uneasy in the room and provoking ...... outside."

"Hmph, isn't she sharp-mouthed? Why can't you say that Miss Gao? It's a shame to be insulted for nothing", Mrs. Yao snorted coldly.

"Isn't it, the young lady later said that she couldn't do it, so she scolded Miss Gao for farting!" Steward Ma also felt ashamed.

Mrs. Yao glanced at him, and he continued: "Later, King Qi appeared to relieve Miss Gao, and the people in Daoxianglou secretly laughed at the young lady, she couldn't sit down anymore, so she went back to the house...... Later, she was probably unconvinced, so she said bad things about Second Master Qin everywhere, no, Second Master Qin was angry, and broke the contract in April. ”

Mrs. Yao stroked her forehead and smiled bitterly, what can she say, if she says so, it is indeed that Kang Shufang is wrong, Miss Gao didn't recruit you to provoke you, why are you stopping people from looking for it, if you want her to say, then Kang Shufang deserves it! But she is unlucky not to pull the Yao family, it's really hateful!

Mrs. Yao paused, looked up and said to the mother-in-law beside her, "Call those three to me!" As soon as the mother-in-law walked to the door, Mrs. Yao said again: "Call the young lady too." ”

Yao Ligong's wife Xu Rui is the eldest daughter of Feng Qizhen's second aunt Jiang Fang's sister, and she doesn't have much contact with Feng Qizhen, and she has no contact after marriage. This person also pays attention to fate, some brothers meet like enemies, and some friends have no blood relationship but can always watch and help each other.

This Xu Rui is shrewd and capable, and has a quick temperament, she has been assisting Mrs. Yao in managing the house, and she is also a good hand at managing the house, and her relationship with Kang Shufang is also tepid.

When everyone arrived, Mrs. Yao said, "Shufang, are you scolding the second master of the Qin family for being a lowly businessman?" ”

Kang Shufang was anxious when he heard this: "Mother, I didn't!" She only said that he was a copper-smelling businessman, how could she scold him for being a lowly businessman? I don't know which one of the long tongues slandered her. Today, Mrs. called everyone together, and made it clear that she wanted to criticize people, and she couldn't hit the muzzle of the gun.

"No?" Mrs. Yao looked at her coldly.

"Nope!" Kang Shufang was anxious to defend herself, and her voice was a little loud, "What is my daughter-in-law doing when I have nothing to do scolding him?" ”

"What's wrong, mother?" Xu Rui asked.

Mrs. Yao squeezed an ugly smile and said, "What's the matter?" Second Master Qin cut off our family's salt supply, how many years have we been cooperating, and suddenly gave us such a moment, people said that Shufang scolded him everywhere for being a lowly businessman, so people didn't do business with us. ”

Xu Rui assisted the housekeeper, knowing how serious it was to cut off the salt supply, she couldn't help but say angrily: "What? He turned his head to Kang Shufang and said, "What are you doing to provoke Second Master Qin?" ”
