Chapter 57 Gambling

didn't let Xiahou Shuang wait long, Wang Chong quickly investigated and came back to his life.

That shop was opened by the princess's maiden family, the Tang Mansion. The shopkeeper is also surnamed Tang, who has a very bad reputation in the bank, often buys and sells, and specializes in bullying fresh faces.

After Wang Chong finished speaking, he asked worriedly: "Miss, are we going to eat this dumb man?" This time, the store has lost a lot of silver. ”

Xiahou Shuang pondered for a moment and said, "Not necessarily, let's go to the third uncle to find a way." ”

When he arrived at Luoxia Pavilion, Xiahou Ting looked at Xiahou Shuang, whose face was tense, and asked, "Is there something wrong with Shuang'er coming today?"

Xiahou Shuang told his third uncle about the store, and after hearing this, Xiahou Ting pondered for a moment and said: "We can't come to this matter openly, what's the matter is also a shop in the Tang Mansion, since it can't be done openly, we have to do it secretly." ”

After listening to this, Xiahou Shuang pursed her lips and smiled: "I know that the third uncle has the best way, come and listen." ”

Xiahou Ting didn't sell Guan Zi either, and said the idea he came up with, and Wang Chong secretly said yes.

Xiahou Shuang also nodded again and again, and said to Xiahou Ting: "Please leave this matter to the third uncle." ”

Xiahou Ting smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, there will be good news in less than three days." ”

Sure enough, on the third day, Luo Qin took Luo Rui to the mansion to ask for Xiahou Shuang.

As soon as he saw Xiahou Shuang Luo Qin, he made a big salute, and only said: "I can't bear the trust of the eldest lady, and I was deceived and let the shop suffer this loss." ”

Xiahou Shuangrang got up and said, "Those silk cloths have retreated. ”

Luo Qin said with a strange expression: "A few days ago, every time I went to the door to ask for an explanation, I was coaxed out, but yesterday after receiving a message from the young lady, I went again, but the shopkeeper kindly asked me to send the silk cloth back, and directly returned the silver." Although the villain felt puzzled in his heart, he didn't dare to slack off, and after getting the silver, he hurriedly came to the house to inform the eldest lady. ”

Xiahou Shuang nodded slightly and said, "Just go back." ”

Luo Qin saw that Xiahou Shuang's face was calm after learning the news, and he wondered in his heart, he didn't know what method the young lady used to get those people to return the silver. Could it be that he used his identity to force the shopkeeper to fail, thinking of this, he was even more frightened.

made such a big mistake by herself, but the eldest lady did not blame but settled the matter for herself, and made up her mind to run the store well in the future to repay the kindness of the young lady.

Under the influence of Luo Qin, Luo Rui was also desperate for Xiahou Shuang, and played a big role in Xiahou Shuang's future schemes, which is a later story.

Xiahou Shuang secretly praised the third uncle's exquisite idea, but such a simple plan made the cheap shopkeeper Tang directly fooled.

Xiahou Ting's idea is also simple, he let himself often be the shopkeeper of the purchase, and said that he wanted to buy a batch of silk cloth, because he was in a hurry, the price was twenty percent higher than usual.

When the shopkeeper Tang invited the purchaser to his store to inquire, the person who bought the silk cloth showed a wealthy appearance, and only said that if it could really solve the urgent need, there was another Xie Yi.

The shopkeeper Tang was moved when he heard about it, but it was a pity that a batch of them in his hands had been sold cheaply, and it happened that Luo Qin came to the door to ask for justice again.

After the shopkeeper Tang took back the silk cloth, he went to the inn to find the merchant who bought the silk cloth, but the building was already empty, and there was no news. Only then did he come back to his senses and realize that he had been calculated.

Sent someone to investigate, and found out that this cloth shop was the marriage of the eldest lady in Xiahou Mansion, and the dignified Hou Mansion, a small shopkeeper of his own could not afford to be guilty, not to mention that he was at fault first, so he had to suffer a dumb loss.

The shopkeeper Tang slowly informed his owner of the matter, and Mrs. Tang mentioned the matter when chatting with the princess in the prince's mansion.

The crown princess knew that a small daughter of the boudoir could actually calculate her own family in turn, and she was displeased, and later seized the opportunity to stumble on Xiahou Shuang, which Xiahou Shuang never expected.

Xiahou Shuang looked at Luo Qin with remorse, and comforted him, and Luo Qin thanked him and left the house.

Xiahou Shuang saw the methods of his third uncle, and admired his third uncle more and more.

Xiahou Ting is not stingy, what good ideas are there for Xiahou Shuang, Xiahou Shuang's business is getting bigger and bigger, and at the end of the year, there are tens of thousands of silver in the account, so I was excited for a while.

In the next few days, in addition to handling chores, Xiahou Shuang continued to learn herbs or practice archery, and began to follow the master in class at other times.

The original master's class is okay, although he is a little stricter on weekdays, but he leaves directly after the class, and when he arrives at Master Zhang, except for the youngest fourth lady Xiahou Yu, he will always assign some tasks to the other two.

After a long time, Xiahou Jing felt a little difficult, she was busy with trivial matters on weekdays, and she had to embroider until late every night to complete the homework assigned by Master Zhang.

After a long time, Chunya thought about completing the embroidery on behalf of Xiahou Shuang, Xiahou Shuang shook his head and said: "The two masters were invited by their mother, and they may be waiting for me to make a mistake so that I can take the opportunity to humiliate me." If you help me now, you may be debunked tomorrow. ”

Chunya was anxious when she heard this: "Then watch them toss Miss like this? If it goes on like this, Miss will be unable to bear it." ”

Xiahou Shuang smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, there will always be a way." ”

Chunya looked at the confident young lady and put her mind at ease, her own young lady must have an idea before she said this.

On this day, Zhang Fuzi brought a handkerchief, using double-sided embroidery, embroidered with two vivid mandarin ducks, rare is the front and back of the two sides are not bad, the stitch is dense and neat, enough to see the embroiderer's skills.

Zhang Fuzi explained the rarity of double-sided embroidery to the young ladies like a treasure, and then said: "I also know that you young ladies have not been exposed to this kind of stitching, but you can try it." ”

Xiahou Jing's face was puzzled: "Master, I don't know at all, I'm afraid it will be difficult to complete Master's task." ”

Zhang Fuzi's old-fashioned face rarely squeezed out a smile: "The second lady is still young and has never been exposed to this kind of embroidery, even if she can't embroider, it's okay." ”

He turned to Xiahou Shuang again and asked, "Miss, what do you think?"

Xiahou Shuang glanced at Master Zhang carelessly. At this glance, Zhang Fuzi felt as if he had penetrated his inner thoughts, and all the secrets were exposed in front of Xiahou Shuang.

Zhang Fuzi was shocked in his heart, and said secretly: If it is really a young lady from the Hou Mansion, her bearing is extraordinary, and just one look can make people's hearts chill. Standing with Mrs. Xiahou and provoking this eldest lady, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse.

I regret it a little in my heart, but things have come to this point, it's too late to say anything, I can only go down hard, I hope Mrs. Xiahou can see that she is working so hard, and her children's affairs can be done.

After glancing at Master Zhang, Xiahou Shuang said coldly: "I have no opinion. ”

Master Zhang reluctantly smiled and said: "Then it will be set in two days, and I will enjoy the works of the eldest lady at that time, but if it can't be completed, don't blame me for being a strict master." ”

Xiahou Shuang nodded, not speaking.

Xiahou Jing glanced at Xiahou Shuang in surprise, she had never heard of the eldest sister would embroider on both sides, but she couldn't be punished when she came.

I had the heart to say a word or two, but when I saw that the eldest sister responded, she swallowed back the words that came to her mouth.
