Fast Time Travel: The Posture of the Female Supporting Counterattack

Chapter 21 The Merchant's Daughter (21)

"Husband, I really didn't know that things would develop like this. I don't fight or grab, I just want to give Rou'er an identity so that she can get married in a good manner..." The two entered the mansion together, and Han Sirou walked softly on the way. Open your mouth.

"I know, Mrs. Lan doesn't like me." Han Sirou lowered her head and wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

When Lan Xi was mentioned, an unknown fire burst out of Chu Zhentian's body. This time when she returned to Beijing, Lan Xi changed from being obedient in the past to a scheming woman through and through. There was a lot of fun going on in the general's mansion.

"What are you two doing standing there in broad daylight?"

Mrs. Chu led Chunmei out of the main hall when she saw Han Sirou's son messing around in the yard, and the gloom in her eyes deepened.

Han Sirou quickly let go of Chu Zhentian's hand, "Mother."

"Have you been appeased by the Duke's Mansion?" Mrs. Chu asked.

Han Sirou lowered her head and didn't dare to speak, Chu Zhentian's face turned cold, and she stepped forward to help Mrs. Chu back to the main hall, and whispered to Mrs. Chu about Han Sirou's rejection.

At this time, no matter how angry Mrs. Chu was, she had to accept this softness. The General's Mansion could not afford to offend the Duke's Mansion.

"Forget it, just make up with each other." Madam Chu leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes, "Don't worry about the backyard. You write the letter of reconciliation and I'll tell her."

……

"Master, Mrs. Chu is here." Shi Mo, who was guarding outside the door, opened the curtain and came in to report. Lan Xi tidied up her clothes. Sister-in-law did a good job. We all know how Mrs. Chu condescended to come to her.

It didn't take long before Chunmei helped Mrs. Chu into the room, and Lan Xi bent her knees: "Mother, please sit down."

This is the first time Mrs. Chu has come to Lan Xi's courtyard. From the courtyard gate to the house, there are not many maids and servants in the courtyard, but they are all very energetic, and the flowers and plants are trimmed exquisitely. Every ornament in the house is beautiful. It is a rare boutique, and the furniture is made of valuable agarwood. Sitting here, you can faintly smell the unique woody aroma.

These things were the dowry that Lan Xi married into the General's Mansion back then, looking at these things, Mrs. Chu felt a little more calculating in her heart.

Mrs. Chu sat in the main seat unceremoniously, and looked down at Lan Xi: "You also know that it is absolutely impossible for you to marry into the general's mansion with your status, and now you insist on reconciling, so you don't hesitate to do it. Do you know that Mrs. Han didn't even let in the door of the Duke's mansion today."

"Mother was joking. How can I, the daughter of a small businessman, be able to evaluate the location of the Duke's Mansion? Mother is here to tell me this today, or does she want me to go to the Duke's Mansion in person?"

Seeing Mrs. Chu's greed inadvertently showing off the furniture in the room, Lan Xi knew in her heart that Mrs. Chu was a person who wanted to save face, she was as philistine and greedy as she was on the surface.

There have been so many troubles in the gold jewelry shop. If you want to wipe your butt clean, how can you do it without a little blood? He and Han Sirou will definitely slap their swollen faces hard to pretend to be fat.

This is a good opportunity, if you don't scoop up a delicious sheep like Lan Xi, then she won't be Mrs. Chu.

"You should know what you have done yourself. If you are willing to keep your dowry, there is no room for change in Heli's matter."

Standing behind Lan Xi's servant Mo pursed his lips, Mrs. Chu looked down on businessmen the most, and now she actually made such a shameless request.

The master's dowry has an iron mine and more than 30 shops, which are very profitable. If these few shops in the mansion alone are enough to maintain the general's daily expenses, how can Mrs. Chu survive without the master's subsidy? It's so beautiful, look at the maidservants beside Mrs. Chu, the fabrics they wear almost catch up with the master.

Seeing that Lan Xi didn't speak for a long time, Mrs. Chu showed a smug look, and He Li was about to give up her property. Otherwise, she would let Lan Xi continue to manage the family, and let Lan Xi prepare a generous dowry for Rou'er. In the future, it will be the same in the belly of Wutong.

"Why, can't bear it? Sure enough, it's still the old saying that businessmen value profit and leave."

"My mother misunderstood me. If there were no problems in the past two years, but since last year, more than half of the annual bonuses earned by shops in the capital and other places have been given to the wife of the Duke's Mansion. Is the Madam Madam happy to cooperate with you?" Lan Xi replied with her head lowered.

"What?" Mrs. Chu's voice raised an octave. No wonder Han Sirou didn't even enter the Duke's mansion. It turned out that the problem was here.

"Where's the iron mine? There can't be any shadow of the Duke's Mansion, right?" Mrs. Chu asked.

"I'm afraid my mother has forgotten that the iron mine has long been abandoned. If my mother doesn't mind, just take it."

The original owner, Lan Xi, is well versed in the way of doing business. She is an ordinary daughter of a merchant. If she wants to run her business steadily, it is impossible not to find a backer for herself. Without a backer, any random sesame official would be crushed Like an ant, it can easily crush you to death.

The more prosperous the business is, the more low-key and reliable the backer must be. The General's Mansion is hopeless, and the original owner has no face to look for her two older brothers. She relies on herself for everything.

Thinking of this, Lan Xi rubbed the center of her brows. The main reason was to use the shrewdness and wisdom of doing business to take care of herself, so as not to get depressed and die on the spot. It is only because the thinking in this world is too backward.

Mrs. Chu's wishful thinking failed, but she was unwilling to let her forget it, "It all depends on your mouth, how can I trust you?"

"Mother, why don't you take Mrs. Han and go to the Duke's Mansion in person?"

As soon as Mrs. Chu got up, she was about to leave. Lan Xi also knew that if she didn't cut some meat, she would definitely not be able to pass it. She gestured to Shi Mo with her eyes, and Shi Mo knew that she came out with a few land deeds from the back room. Lan Xi handed the land deeds to Mrs. Chu: "Mother, this is a Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city and there are 200 acres of land around it. It is an excellent place to go to Zhuangzi in summer to escape the summer heat. As long as the general writes and leaves the book, Zhuangzi and the land are my filial piety to my mother." .”

Mrs. Chu took it over and snorted coldly, rolled up the land deed and put it in her sleeve, and took out a letter of reconciliation written by Chu Zhentian himself from the other sleeve and put it on the table: "You two can leave now. gone."

"Master!" Shi Mo frowned angrily, Mrs. Chu was too much, she didn't even let them pack up their belongings, just like this, she just kicked the master out?
