"The mansion is not in good health, and he will not see outsiders, if the lady has something, I will report it for you."

Lou Suzhen's tone became cold.

The meaning of the words is that you had better recognize your identity and positioning, and want to bypass me and run directly to the inner house?

It's overwhelming!

Mrs. Qiao smiled secretly, this was her ploy, which made the "Mr. Mi" in front of her feel that her heart was higher than the sky, so as to produce a kind of jealousy, paving the way for tonight's events.

A woman like Mrs. Qiao, who has been working in Yongping Mansion for many years, has long been familiar with the means of dealing with men.

Lou Suzhen said: "Madam, let's put it this way, what communication between the local government and the prefect's yamen has been done by you alone, and you don't want to see other people break into the yamen. In addition, you have to put away those inappropriate thoughts, let's only talk about cooperation, and nothing else."

Mrs. Qiao smiled and replied, "The slave family understands."

"Okay, now that you've made it clear, let's take this thing back with you, and it's a detailed list of what the government needs right now. For the time being, there is no need for the local gentry to contribute money, but each family must have a manpower, and at least 100 people must be paid from large households, 60 people from medium households, and 30 people from small households, and no less than 30 people are allowed to declare. All of them have to be assessed, and young and strong craftsmen with skills will be given priority."

Lou Suzhen threw a plan to Mrs. Qiao.

Mrs. Qiao was about to open it, and Lou Suzhen reminded, "Go back and look at it, and study it with the people of each family."

Mrs. Qiao looked out the window, licked her lips, and looked extremely confused: "The hour is not early, the slave family can return tomorrow......

"No, you can go now."

Lou Suzhen took out a business-like attitude, now that I have negotiated everything with you, I still want to keep you? Do you really think I have any thoughts about you?

"Also, bring back the food box you brought...... I will do things for the Fuzun, and the Fuzun will treat me well, and you don't need to think about giving me gifts. Including you, Madame, dress as solemnly as possible next time you come, this is a public office, if you are seen wearing Madame in and out like this, you may ruin the reputation of the prefect. Madame, please."

Lou Suzhen gave an eviction order.

Mrs. Joe was taken aback.

Whether it is Mu Dazhi, who went to pass the word, or in the understanding of the gentry and herself, she will definitely not be able to "retreat" tonight.

As a result, the government came to her, just to let her be a mouthpiece?

Just let her go like this?

When Mrs. Qiao was at a loss in her heart, wondering if this would be a ploy by the person in front of her to capture the old man, the two strong men who had come in with knives appeared again, and this time they wanted to "escort" Mrs. Qiao away.

……

……

Mrs. Qiao left the palace smoothly.

Walking nature is not the front yard.

Rather, it's a side door.

When Mrs. Qiao went out, there were still a bunch of local servants drinking and gambling at the door, talking about some meat jokes about Mrs. Qiao, but I didn't expect Mrs. Qiao to really come out of this door.

A bunch of people were watching, and they didn't know what the situation was for a while.

When Mrs. Qiao got into the carriage, someone whispered, "Didn't those local lords give her to the adults to sleep?"

"Who said it was for adults? It seems to be for Mr. Mi."

"And how did she go?"

"Who knows? Maybe Mr. Mi is not happy with her?"

"Wrong, wrong, I think Mr. Mi has already done that with her, and I'll send her away when I'm done......

"No, it's only been a long time since I've been in, isn't Mr. Nami ......?"

"Hahaha!"

A crowd of people burst into laughter, completely ignoring Madame Joe's carriage before it went far.

Mrs. Qiao didn't know what this group of people were talking about, but from the laughter analysis in the back, most of them mentioned her "affair" with Mr. Mi inside.

Although in terms of results, she didn't suffer, but she was still a little unwilling in her heart, and she didn't hook up with the people from the prefect's yamen, which means that she is just a person now

It is almost impossible to get special benefits for those who run errands.

Could it be that I mentioned the prefect of the inner court earlier, which caused Mr. Mi to be angry, so he kicked me out?

It's really hard to figure it out!

……

……

Mrs. Joe went straight to the nearest hall,

However, the representatives of the local families did not wait here, for almost everyone was sure that Madame Qiao would not return until the early morning of the next day.

This hall was originally the property of the Yue family, and after Mrs. Qiao entered, she let people spread the word, and Yue Ting'an appeared in front of her not long after.

"How did you come back?"

Yue Ting'an was puzzled.

Mrs. Qiao sneered, "Yue Lao'er, I'm coming back, aren't you happy?"

Yue Ting'an looked at it, this woman also shook her face, give you a shame?

was about to get angry, and suddenly remembered that Mrs. Qiao entered the prefect's yamen to talk about jointly opening a mine, and the woman in front of her estimated that she had the support of the new prefect to become so tough, even if he was unhappy, he had to ask things clearly before getting angry.

"Sit!"

Yue Ting'an forcibly held back the anger in his heart, sat down opposite Mrs. Qiao, and then asked Mrs. Qiao about the situation after entering the prefect's yamen.

Mrs. Qiao threw the plan that Lou Suzhen handed over to her in front of Yue Ting'an, just like Lou Suzhen had done to her before.

"What is this?"

Yue Ting'an glanced at it, and didn't reach out to pick it up and look through it.

Mrs. Qiao said: "Mr. Mi from the prefect's yamen gave it to me, saying that we should do what is above, and also made a special note that if there is anything in the future, I can only go to the prefect's yamen to contact, and the rest of the people will not be accepted."

"Impossible, right?"

Yue Ting'an sneered, "Why did the people from the government look for you, God knows that you know that I know that everyone knows, your current value has been squeezed out, and you will still need to spread the word in the future?"

With a smug look on her face, Mrs. Qiao raised her head and looked very proud: "Then do you think I look like I have no use value now?" As she spoke, she kicked over the bamboo basket that she had taken to the prefect's yamen and was now on the ground in front of her.

It was originally brought into the prefect's yamen, but now it is good inside.

Yue Ting'an ignored his prestige and went over to check, and then asked in surprise, "The confiscation ceremony surnamed Mi?"

Mrs. Qiao looked disdainful: "People do big things, so it's rare for you to give this little silver? Or, although people like wine and wealth, they don't like the things that can be sent in this small place of Yongping Mansion, and to me, they just talk about business, and there is no unruly behavior."

"Hey! It's really rare, he actually came to talk to you about it, and said that he didn't covet your beauty? What about the deceivers?"

Yue Ting'an naturally couldn't understand that Mr. Mi's actions.

Since this person didn't have any thoughts about Mrs. Qiao, how could he let Mrs. Qiao go by name? The point is that even the people in the prefect's yamen feel that something must happen tonight.

Mrs. Qiao said triumphantly, "Maybe this Mr. Mi wants to admit me to the door? If you don't be this dewy couple, do you want to stay with me for a long time? People are not ...... acute children."

Yue Ting'an scolded: "Shameless stinky ***, you really regard yourself as a good family? Don't pee on yourself either! Look at your sharp-beaked monkey cheeks, if you weren't coquettish on the ground of Yongping Mansion, you would have been sold to the kiln as ***! Even so, what's the difference between you and ***?"

Yue Ting'an didn't save face for Mrs. Qiao at all.

It's because he thinks that this world is a man's world, and women are at most as a vassal of men, or a tool for the transfer of interests, and now Mrs. Qiao is obviously kicking her nose in the face, wanting to lead the local gentry and the prefect's yamen to open mines, how can Yue Ting'an, the patriarch of the largest local family, be honored and disgraced?

Naturally, there is no room for speech.

Mrs. Qiao was not annoyed, but was even more proud: "Master Yue, you just have to be angry, there is no point, as long as the new prefect is still in the local area for a day, only I can communicate with the government office, or I will directly kick your Yue family out of the list of local families who open mines!" Today, your Yue family is the most powerful in Yongping Mansion

The powerful family, that's because you have a lot of money, and when you look at it later, your Yue family is not a fart!"

So saying, Mrs. Jo got up and was about to leave.

"It's against you?"

Yue Ting'an almost wanted someone to take Mrs. Qiao down and abuse her, but this is a guild hall after all, even if it gets dark, there is only one door from the street.

Moreover, Mrs. Qiao brought her own servants over, and Yue Ting'an wanted to rely on her own ability to control Mrs. Qiao, which was obviously unrealistic.

Again...... This woman is nothing but a fox and a fake tiger, what's the point of taking her down?

"Come back!"

Yue Ting'an said with a dark face.

Mrs. Qiao didn't look back, and said, "I have read everything and know the content inside, tomorrow I will represent the government to mobilize the local officials and gentry to jointly sign a joint name, contribute people, Yue is in charge, I hope you can see the situation clearly and know who should be the leader." If you don't enlighten yourself, then you won't have a part in it!"

……

……

Mrs. Qiao's actions made Yue Ting'an very angry.

Originally, a woman who didn't even deserve to lift shoes for him, just went to the government twice, and now she flies into the sky? Yue Ting'an felt aggrieved, but he couldn't express his anger.

Following.

Mrs. Qiao really mobilized the local gentry family on her own to discuss the matter of contributing, and Mrs. Qiao was good at advocating and letting each family pay.

And no one informed Yue Tingan at all that day.

When Yue Tingan arrived at the scene, he found that the families had almost negotiated the matter of contribution.

"Master Yue, why are you here?"

Everyone was very surprised to see Yue Ting'an.

Mrs. Qiao was sent by you to the prefect's yamen, and now the families are discussing to contribute money and efforts, but you are not here? Or did you already negotiate?

Yue Ting'an said angrily, "Who asked you to privately raise silver taels? Are there any rules?"

Liu Cheng, the representative of the Liu family, asked puzzledly, "Didn't the Yue family ask Mrs. Qiao to summon us?"

Mrs. Qiao's face was arrogant: "Everyone, you are all wrong, it was the prefect who asked me to summon you, and I have already made it clear that if there are any mining matters in the future, including all cooperation matters with the prefect's yamen, I will come forward to contact you, and the rest of you will not be seen."

"Huh?"

Everyone present was amazed.

You're Mrs. Joe, and you're suddenly going to be our opinion leader?

Yue Ting'an said, "Listen, is this human talk? Immediately sent someone to the prefect's yamen, saying that the major local families were ready to exclude this woman, and if the prefect's yamen insisted on using this woman, then none of the local families would participate in the mining business!"
