The Possession of My Beloved

After being stunned by Miantang's beauty, Erye He couldn't help frowning and raised his voice: "Mrs. Cui, I don't know why Shopkeeper Cui didn't come in person, is it because he dislikes the Chamber of Commerce He's not happy that he submitted the invitation too late?"

Miantang was led back to her parents' home by her mother when she was young. She once saw her grandfather and uncle go to the pier to worship with her own eyes. This kind of battle did not frighten her, but found it very interesting!

She thought she was out of luck, but she didn't expect a few thin and thin chickens burning porcelain to gather in one place, and she could do the same thing.

Listening to what President He meant, she looked down on her as a woman who joined the Chamber of Commerce for her husband!

Looking at the contemptuous look in President He's eyes, Liu Miantang reduced her deliberate politeness and restraint. law.

Afterwards, she thought she was not looking carefully, so she slowly paced over to take a closer look.

The second master of the He family spoke, but there was no reply from Mrs. Cui.

"

Liu Miantang turned around slowly and said, "It was only after listening to President He's words that I realized that I came here, little lady, because the Cui family neglected everyone in the Chamber of Commerce. .I just quickly looked at the regulations of the chamber of commerce to see if there were any clauses that prohibited women from entering, so as not to violate the avoidance of the chamber of commerce."

Although Liu Miantang is in the middle of a group of men in silk gowns, she speaks clearly, and with her tall stature, she speaks in a dignified manner. .

Although Erye He didn't think much of the Yeluzi shop from the Cui family's hometown before, he couldn't help but take a second look at this Mrs. Cui.

But all the businessmen here are used to being flattered by their wives and concubines at home. How can they bear such words from a foreign woman?

Is it inconvenient?"

Mian Tang walked around for a while, and her ankles were a little sore again, so she chose an armchair and sat down and said, "It's not the first day that our jade-fired porcelain shop is on Lingquan Street. When it comes to buying and selling, who knows that my husband is studying abroad, and all the chores at home are handled by me, a woman. The guy who swept the floor with swill has come to pay homage to all of you!"

When he said this, Miantang's mouth was slightly raised, looking at the fat businessman who was clamoring, like a donkey dung egg on the side of the road.

If there are people who don't know what's good or bad, they will be cursed so that they can't touch the door to go home!

The fat businessman was flushed by Mrs. Cui's run, and just as he was about to slap the table to continue the attack, a loud voice sounded from the side door: "Look at what Mrs. Cui said, in our shop in the southern boundary of the Yangtze River. Women and men have always been capable, so how can you look down on Madam Cui?"

Miantang looked up and saw a woman wearing a pearl and jade hairpin leading two maids, and walked in with a hearty laugh.

Miantang looked her up and down, and sat firmly on the chair without saying a word. And Mama Li is the grandmother of the palace, holding a black face, to help Ni Zhongsheng, looking at everything in the hall, it is like seeing garbage.

But the girl who just came in smiled slightly and took the initiative to chat with the lady of the Cui family.

Adhering to the principle of reaching out and not hitting the smiling face, Miantang also picked up the courtesy, and after answering a few words with her, did she realize that it was the third daughter of the second master of the He family, whose name was He Jane.

This He Zhenfang is eighteen years old and similar to Liu Miantang. For some reason, she has never been able to get married. But he is shrewd and capable. Brother Yusheng is a good helper for He Erye. Most of the accounts of the old He family's stores have passed her hands.

heated up.

No one mentions whether it is convenient or inconvenient just now.

Anyway, anyone who has inquired about the Cui family knows that the man in that family is the master of fancy pillows, the master of chess and birds, and all rely on women to support the facade!

Because the shopkeepers gathered together today to discuss the important matter of undertaking the royal tribute and porcelain required by various wealthy and noble houses this year, the shopkeepers really have a lot of business to do.

Liu Miantang adhered to the principle of talking less and listening more, and only listened quietly, only then did the shopkeepers understand the reasons why the shopkeepers scolded Erye He.

It turned out that although the He family alone received the royal tribute, many porcelain orders from the imperial palace in the capital could not be fulfilled. The He family had to eat meat, and each family also got some soup, so the Chamber of Commerce in Linquan Town seemed to be very happy.

However, the old merchants in Linquan Town have soup to drink, and outsiders like Yuzhuo Porcelain Shop can only smell the aroma of the broth. No one at all.

I don't know why the chamber of commerce sent out that invitation to invite her. Could it be that they came to see them for soup? Isn't this turning people into pink eye disease?

But Miantang didn't come here to ask for favors, so naturally she wasn't jealous.

She sat peacefully in the corner, watching a group of gentlemen around the He family and their daughters racking their brains to flatter, wanting to get more orders, just think this scene seems to be more than Qingzhou's monkey show Look better.

She was delighted to see it, she chose a few kinds of fruit that looked pleasing to the eye, and ate it with tea, and then asked Mama Li to bring the pen and paper beside her.

While eating the fruit, she tapped the paper with a pen in one hand.

Then He Zhen kept wafting about Mrs. Cui's movements, and when she saw her writing, she excused herself and paced to her desk.

Mian Tang did not shy away, and let Miss He San watch. Anyway, she painted like a ghost talisman, so Miss He San stared straight for a long time, but couldn't see why.

nothing.

Cui Niangzi brushed off the cake residue on her body, then said goodbye to the shopkeepers, and went home for dinner without thinking.

After Miantang left, He Zhen and her father left the chamber of commerce.

When he got into the carriage, Erye He thought of Mrs. Cui's mockery, and he was still angry, and said to his daughter dissatisfiedly, "Why were you so kind to that foreign woman just now? You should give it to her. Some colors, let her know that Lingquan Town does not have the position of a foreigner she came here for the first time... I just hired a painter and made some famous halls, I really don't take our He family seriously..."

He Zhen asked solemnly, "Did father pay attention to what kind of gouache the lady Cui is rubbing?"

He Erye was taken aback for a moment, and said, "I don't understand women's gouache, why have you ever noticed?"

He Zhen solemnly said: "The taste is especially the fragrant powder specially provided by Jiangnan Hanxiangzhai, the color is beautiful, the taste is even more meaningful, and it is very popular. Because the output is scarce, every year It was snapped up by the wives of the princes of the palace. Ordinary merchants can't get this rare thing. This is what the lady of the Cui family uses. I'm afraid her doorway is not ordinary, and she doesn't know the backing in the background. Father does not Understand the details, there is no need to offend her because of words."

Seeing that her father still disapproved, He Zhen said, "Besides, does father know that the wife of the Cui family is also related to a strange case in Lin Quanzhen?"

This aroused the curiosity of Second Master He, and asked, "What case is it related to?"

He Zhen lifted the curtain of the car, looked outside the carriage, saw no idlers, etc., and said, "Father, you know that the guard's wandering nephew has disappeared for more than a month. He The wife of the family cried so hard that she was about to lose her temper, so his father went to the guard for help. Guess what? After the guard visited, he scolded his younger brother and drove him out of the guard house. It was only later that he learned that the guard had My nephew was assigned 3,000 miles and was escorted away directly by the military barracks. Some people saw that the nephew who was guarding and the wife of the Cui family had an unpleasant encounter on the street not long ago. Dad, think about it carefully, these two things together, If you don't find out the details of the Cui family's wife, how dare you offend her?"

He Erye never thought about the many hidden feelings in the streets and alleys.

His daughter has always been knowledgeable and capable in the world, and her observations are meticulous. Since she looks at the Cui family lady is not simple, then that Cui lady must have something special. He immediately told his daughter to check carefully whether the Cui family's wife had any background.

Nowadays, the jade-fired porcelain shop has a better coloring and hand-painting technique than the old Hejia family. To become bigger, to replace the royal tribute of their He family?

So be careful in everything, in order to keep the royal rice bowl of the He family and retain the wealth and glory of several generations...

After coming out of the chamber of commerce, Miantang walked all the way, walking on the shore of Shiqiao Water in Lingquan Town, the more she thought about it, the more confident she became. He even hummed a little tune.

Mother Li is an old man in the palace. Which of the family members of the palace is not sitting upright? Naturally, Madam Liu couldn't stand her casualness, so she couldn't help but correct her: "Madam, it's not good to be like this on the street...it's not good..."
