After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

It's not that he doesn't remember you, it's just that he no longer has the emotions of love and hate, so in his heart you are no different from anyone else.

Liu Yunxiang smiled bitterly. This hurt her more than being angry and hating her, and made her more helpless than not remembering her.

Returning to Nanhonglou, Liu Yunxiang saw many people surrounding the shop door.

She walked forward and saw a short, fat woman yelling in front of the door, "Unscrupulous and profiteers, you have no conscience! I curse you to give birth to a son without any descendants, and marry your daughter to a lame man! I curse your family to have their bowels broken, and they will not be able to survive." What a death!"

This fat woman had her hands on her hips, was full of swear words, and was very aggressive.

People nearby were talking a lot, and some people who had just arrived asked what was going on.

"This woman's daughter wore this family's silk and satin, and ended up covered in abscesses. I don't want to argue, but the other party doesn't recognize it."

"Ouch, why do you get abscesses?"

"This silk and satin is said to be shipped from Darong. There may be something mixed in it. It is probably specially brought to harm us Beijin people."

"This should be reported to the official!"

"I don't want to end the matter, I just want to seek justice. As long as the store apologizes properly, there will be no further pursuit."

"Tsk, tsk, we won't dare to buy cloth from this company in the future."

"Not really!"

Liu Yunxiang frowned. Since the opening of Nanhonglou, they have clearly not sold a piece of cloth. This is not obviously causing trouble. She looked around and saw the female shopkeeper of Yunjin Silk Shop opposite.

She looked over, and the female shopkeeper looked over, and their eyes met.

The female shopkeeper's surname is Xue Yunjin, and she owns the shop.

Xue Yunjin is wearing a peach-colored dark-patterned satin gown, with a silk belt tied around her waist. She has beautiful phoenix eyes, and a begonia silk flower stuck in her hair. She is neat yet charming.

She swayed her waist and walked towards Liu Yunxiang with a smile on her lips.

"I originally thought that the boss of Nanhonglou must be a reckless man. With a dark look in his eyes and a naive spirit, he traveled thousands of miles to Beijin to do silk and satin business. I didn't expect that he turned out to be a delicate woman. Tsk, tsk, what a pity. .”

Liu Yunxiang raised his eyebrows, "What's the pity?"

"It's a pity that I have no brains!" Xue Yunjin covered her mouth and laughed.

"I feel it's a pity too." Liu Yunxiang said lightly.

"Oh?"

"I originally wanted to make a fortune with you."

"Oh, getting rich?" Xue Yunjin sneered, "We have no reason to let outsiders get rich on our territory!"

Liu Yunxiang twitched the corner of his mouth, "So you just use this dirty trick?"

"As long as it works!" Xue Yunjin's eyebrows turned cold and he said in a deep voice: "Before you lose everything without compensation, I advise you to get out of here!"

After saying that, Xue Yunjin glanced at Liu Yunxiang contemptuously, then turned and left.

Liu Yunxiang squeezed in from the crowd and heard the fat woman scolding: "If you want to drive me away, there is no way! I will scold you here until you close the door!"

The woman sat down on the ground and crossed her legs.

"Let's see who among us can take advantage of whom!"

Liu Yunxiang looked at the woman a few times and walked to Shopkeeper Hu. Shopkeeper Hu was anxious and helpless at the moment. He refused to listen to his explanations and had all his good words, but this woman was not unreasonable at all.

"My boss, the courtesans from Baihua Street have been here to choose silk and satin clothes for the past few days. If there is such a fuss, no one will come to our house. If no one comes to our house, then we will not be able to stand out during the Baihua Festival. During the Baihua Festival If we don’t take the lead, this business will no longer be possible.”

Liu Yunxiang looked outside, and sure enough he saw carriages coming one after another. The courtesans in colorful clothes got out of the car and looked over to take a look at the excitement, and then were invited away by other waiters.

Her mind changed and she looked again at the woman sitting on the ground acting playfully.

She stepped forward in two steps and said: "Madam, I am the boss of Nanhonglou. Please don't cry and don't make trouble. Let's have a good talk."

"Okay, it turns out you, a little bitch, opened this black-hearted shop!" The woman pointed at Liu Yunxiang, "My daughter is old enough to marry, and now she is covered in sores and her face is rotten. You have ruined it. My daughter for life!"

As he spoke, the woman burst into tears.

Others were very angry after hearing this and accused Liu Yunxiang one after another.

Liu Yunxiang was still good-tempered and said, "How about this? You bring your daughter and keep her with us. I'll find the best doctor to treat her and make sure her appearance is restored to her original appearance. Is that possible?"

"Oh, what guarantee do you have? You..."

"However, I need to confirm first. Did you really buy the cloth from our silk and satin shop?"

When the woman heard this, she clapped her hands on the ground and cried loudly, "Listen, are these what people say! Oh my God, I can't live anymore, I will fight you to the death!"

Liu Yunxiang straightened up, looked at the people watching, and asked nicely: "Does anyone know this lady?"

At this time, a middle-aged man came out and said, "She is my neighbor!"

"Has this eldest brother ever seen her daughter with abscesses?"

"That's not true, but her daughter hasn't been out for several days, maybe because she has abscesses. You are really doing a lot of harm!" the man said angrily.

"Then let me ask her what her husband does?"

"Uh, I'm transporting goods at the dock."

"How many taels of silver per month?"

"A few taels are returned. When the work is good, I can get one tael. When the work is not good, it is only a few dozen cents."

"Then what does this lady do?"

"I work as a handyman for rich people everywhere."

"How many taels can I get in a month?"

"Seventy or eighty cents are worth the weight of the sky."

Liu Yunxiang tilted his head and looked at the woman's clothes, which were made of coarse cloth and had a very thin silver hairpin stuck in her hair, but her family background could be seen from the clothes.

"I have all the silk and satin shipped from Da Rong Jiangnan. Each piece is extremely valuable, and the cheapest one costs 100 taels. And the fabric needed to make a suit of clothes costs at least 20 taels if converted into silver. .”

When Liu Yunxiang said this number, many people present gasped.

20 taels is not something ordinary people can afford. Even rich people have to think about it.

Liu Yunxiang looked at the woman again, "Madam, did you really buy the cloth at our Nanhonglou?"

The fat woman opened her mouth. Even if she sold the pot and sold the house, she still wouldn't be able to get enough 20 taels! For a moment, she really couldn't admit it shamelessly.

The woman's neighbor, the man, was stunned for a moment and said, "You definitely can't afford it. By the way, she even went to my house to borrow rice a few days ago!"

Others also reacted. Not to mention that this woman couldn't afford it, they couldn't afford it either.

"Hey, it turns out he's blackmailing someone!"

"You have to keep your wits about you, obviously you can't afford it!"

"Ouch, this is a big joke."

The woman was so embarrassed by this sound that she could only grit her teeth and said: "I bought it at your house anyway, I..."

"Maybe you remembered the wrong place. You should have bought it from another store. It should be much cheaper there."

Liu Yunxiang said this, and others couldn't help but look at the surrounding silk and satin shops. The other three shopkeepers were feeling proud, and the dirty water they didn't want to stir up was suddenly splashed on themselves, and they were all a little confused.

Liu Yunxiang added: "The silks and satins in our Nanhonglou are all shipped from Darong. Because the silks and satins are as smooth as water and as smooth as jade, each piece is the top grade of silk, so the price is extremely expensive, and it is not easily sold outside. .”

Some people booed and asked, "If you don't sell outside, what kind of shop will you open?"

Liu Yunxiang smiled and said, "If you want to buy silk from our Nanhonglou, you need to verify your identity."

"This is novel, so what are you checking?"

"You need to have a good reputation, status, and status. In short, not just anyone can be our guest in Nanhong Mansion!"
