If the Li family is the head of the civil service, then the Qin family is the head of the business world. Although the merchants are the most despicable among the Shinong industry and commerce, when poverty comes to the door, most people would rather give up the status of the Shi clan who cannot eat or drink, and choose to be a lowly businessman.

Of course, meanness is only for ordinary businessmen. The Qin family is the most powerful merchant in the world, and there are Qin family's shops everywhere. Whether it's food, clothing, or play, as long as you need it, you can find it in the Qin family's shops. It can be said that the Qin family affects most of the country's economy. No one would dare to despise such a family.

In addition, the old lady of the Qin family is kind to Shangguan Huan. Shangguan Huan was not favored back then, and Shangguan Xi's father was killed by the former emperor, and Shangguan Huan took the infant Shangguan Xi to escape. However, the guards were so heavily guarded that there was no way to leave the capital for half a step. In order to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, the first emperor killed all the people related to the abolished prince.

It was the fifteenth day of that day, and Mrs. Qin was going out to offer incense. The people of the whole capital know that Mrs. Qin believes in Buddhism and is a faithful Buddhist. Since she was young, she has maintained the habit of going to the temple on the fifteenth day of the new year to make incense. In this case, Old Madam Qin inadvertently found Shangguan Huan in the crowd, sent her henchmen to quietly call Shangguan Huan, and offered to help him get through the trick. Shangguan Huan wanted to keep the only bloodline of his eldest brother, and he was grateful for her help.

After Shangguan Huan returned to the capital, he did not forget the kindness of Mrs. Qin for a moment. When he came back this time, he became the regent, and the first thing he did was to send a plaque to Mrs. Qin, praising the Qin family for its loyalty and patriotism, and for being a family of etiquette and righteousness.

Since that plaque was sent to the Qin family, the Qin family's business has become even bigger. Everyone is not stupid, and it can be seen that the Qin family is attached to Shangguan Huan. Shangguan Huan is a bad god, the Qin family has a friendship with Shangguan Huan, and those businessmen who do business with the Qin family are more secure. After all, this can be regarded as indirectly climbing the big tree of Shangguan Huan.

"The Princess Regent has arrived!" Hui Ling handed the gift list to the Qin family at the door. The Qin family is a man, so it is not good to say too much to Meng Yuxuan, so he only politely introduced her into the lobby. From the doorway came the voice of a servant. As the words of the little maid fell, the men, women and children who were originally standing and laughing knelt down collectively.

Meng Yuxuan stretched out her hand lightly and said, "Let's all get up!" ”

"Princess Xie." Everyone said in unison again.

Meng Yuxuan really doesn't like this scene. However, everyone knows that Old Madam Qin has helped Shangguan Huan, and today is her birthday, so it is a little inappropriate for her not to appear. She didn't want someone to say that Shangguan Huan was ungrateful. Although he himself would not care about such a reputation, as a wife, she did not want him to bear such a stigma.

In fact, every time she attended such a banquet, she felt like she couldn't breathe. Those pitiful and admiring eyes made her have to be careful and careful no matter what she did. If she could, she wouldn't want to face the scary and fearful scrutiny of those people.

Hui Ling helped Meng Yuxuan into the lobby. There was no banquet yet, so she could only go to the backyard to stay with the women.

The Qin family is just a house of traders. However, there are many small traders who depend on this family for survival. Of course, it is not only the vendors who are here today, but also the wives of the great officials.

When Meng Yuxuan saw those people coming over, what they wanted to do, her heart was like a mirror. These people want to win over the Qin family, and they may also have a reason for taking a fancy to the Qin family's wealth, but the bigger reason is her. Who is Shangguan Huan? The ministers of the court tried to curry favor with him, but they could not get in. So the women set their sights on her.

She stepped here today to do her best for Old Madam Qin, but she was in no mood to pay attention to others.

"I've seen the princess." A middle-aged woman looked at Meng Yuxuan flatteringly. "I have long heard that the princess is the first beauty in our capital. In the past, the concubine had no honor to see the princess's fairy face, but today, the concubine thought she had seen the fairy. ”

"yes, yes! People throughout the capital talk about the beauty of the princess. We are just the wives of petty officials, and we have no chance to meet the princess. Today is really stained with the light of Old Madam Qin! A slightly younger woman next to her said happily.

A servant girl came from the opposite side, and she said to the two women, "Two ladies, our old lady wants to invite the princess to the backyard to talk. Only to lose the company first. ”

"The princess is here for the old lady, of course she should accompany the old lady. We can see the fairy face of the princess, and we have no regrets in this life. The middle-aged woman said flatteringly.

Meng Yuxuan ignored the attitude of the two women. She followed the maidservant to the backyard. Along the way, many women wanted to step forward when they saw Meng Yuxuan, but they were stopped by the maidservant. After listening to Old Madam Qin's words of wanting to see the princess, they didn't dare to be uninteresting anymore, so they had to retreat in a huff.

Those pairs of eyes watched Meng Yuxuan leave, as if they had lost a piece of fat, and their faces were not good-looking.

"I thought I could meet the princess regent. I didn't expect to say a word. The Qin family wouldn't want to dominate the princess, would they? A woman whispered when she saw them go away.

"No, it won't! What is the benefit of the Qin family dominating the princess? One person questioned.

"Who knows? Probably because we were afraid that we were usurping their position. Now who doesn't know that the Qin family is most valued by the regent? Some people also said that the regent gave the Qin family a special exception. No other businessman can gain fame, and the Qin family is not bound by this rule. You say it's not particularly high-minded about them, and what is it? ”

"If that's the case, wouldn't the other vendors make a fuss? Who is more noble than the same businessman? Why can the merchants of the Qin family get fame, but they can't? If I were a businessman, I would never accept such a special case. ”

"Alright. Now the most honorable person is the one on the throne, which is Prime Minister Li Cheng and the regent. Do you dare to offend them? ”

"We dare not offend. However, even if they cover the sky with one hand, they can't block Yoyo's mouth, right? ”

The officials and ladies in the backyard who didn't please Meng Yuxuan said sour words, and all this was heard by the Qin family's dark lines. Those words reached the ears of Old Madam Qin and Meng Yuxuan in the backyard. Meng Yuxuan listened to those contents, frowned, and said angrily: "These people are really afraid that the world will not be chaotic. ”

"Not really." Although Old Madam Qin is seventy years old, she is extremely well maintained. Her eyes are loving, like a bodhisattva on a Buddha statue. Maybe this has something to do with her perennial worship of the Buddha! People who often deal with gods and Buddhas are naturally different from ordinary people. In addition, she is originally a kind-hearted person, so she is naturally even more different from those ordinary people. "Don't be angry, princess. Born in this world, it is inevitable that you will be influenced by the world. They attach too much importance to their own gains and losses, but they never think that they have already received what the bodhisattva is willing to give them, and if they are too demanding, not only will they not get what they want, but they will even lose what they hold in their hands. ”

"That's what the old lady said. It's a pity that not everyone has the wisdom of an old lady. Meng Yuxuan said, handing over a string of Buddhist beads. This is what I got from an old monk a few years ago. That old monk is home all over the world, and he can't ban meat or alcohol, but he is a master. This is the Buddha who opened his light, and today he borrowed flowers to offer the Buddha to the old lady, which can be regarded as a thank you for saving my husband and wife. ”

"The princess doesn't have to be so polite. This is the Bodhisattva's instruction to me. At that time, even if there was no old woman, someone else would save him. "This old lady Qin has no Xieen Tu report at all. She hurriedly excused herself, saying that the gift was too expensive and that she didn't deserve such a gift.

Meng Yuxuan really wanted to thank this old lady. Of course, what happened back then was the favor owed by Shangguan Huan, and Shangguan Huan's various care for the Qin family these days has made many people blush. Shangguan Huan has already repaid her personal debts, and she is not here today for Shangguan Huan, but also for the purpose of making friends with the Qin family. 、

The Qin family is the first merchant. There are only advantages to building a good relationship with such a family businessman, and there is no harm. She is also a businessman, so such a deal will still be considered.

"Old lady, you just have to take it. If you are a believer in Buddhism, you should believe in fate. As you said, you saved my husband because the Bodhisattva had a dream. Then I also said, I gave you this string of Buddha beads, which is also the Bodhisattva's explanation. You're better suited to it than I am. Meng Yuxuan smiled and said, "Unless you dislike this gift too lightly." ”

"The princess really tormented the old woman." After listening to Meng Yuxuan's words, Mrs. Qin dared to refuse. In fact, as soon as she saw the beads, she fell in love with them.

Even if Meng Yuxuan doesn't say the origin of this string of Buddhist beads, she is interested in it. She is a perennial fasting and reciting Buddha, and she is very sensitive to things that have Buddha's light. She has a feeling that once she has such a bead, even if she lives for another ten, twenty, or even thirty years, it will be no problem.

Old Madam Qin carefully held the Buddha bead and put it on her hand like a jewel. She said gratefully, "Thank you, Princess." I will definitely cherish it. When I am old, I will pass it on as a family heirloom of our Qin family. I hope this string of Buddhist beads can bless our Qin family. ”

"Old lady, the lord asked the slave and maid to say that the banquet is ready and ready to be held. The old lady and the princess are invited to the table. A maidservant girl came in and said.

"Good! I know. Old Madam Qin stood up, saluted Meng Yuxuan, and said respectfully: "Princess, I'm really sorry to snub the princess." Please invite the princess and her wife to the table! ”

"Old lady, today you are the birthday star, here you are the home field, I am just a guest. You don't need to be so polite. Besides, I'm afraid I'll accept your courtesy at your age. Meng Yuxuan hurriedly helped her. She didn't have a shelf, and helped Old Madam Qin towards the lobby. Old Madam Qin, who was originally crumbling her body, slowly relaxed.

"Princess, please come here." The maidservant said respectfully.
