Xie Liuzheng smiled and nodded to the shopkeeper, "My mother always said that there is nothing that Manager Zhang can't do. I feel relieved to leave this matter to you."
?
"Don't be stingy with the money. The workers are working overtime to make children's clothes. Don't let them go hungry."
?
"In addition to the normal salary, for each set of children's clothing, there will be an additional bonus of 100 yuan. The more you work, the more you earn."
?
Everyone likes to hear good words, no matter how true they are, they make people feel good.
?
Manager Zhang's face was filled with joy, and he promised, "Miss, please rest assured. I will never break my promise."
?
Xie Liuzheng exchanged a few pleasantries with Manager Zhang and left the embroidery workshop. The driver asked where to go next. Xie Liuzheng thought for a moment and said softly, "To the Feng Mansion."
?
Last time, Mrs. Feng II sent a matchmaker who was not very qualified to the Xie family to propose marriage, wanting to marry Xie Liuzheng to Feng Yushu as a concubine.
?
This was tantamount to a slap in the face of the Xie family. Xie Liuzheng had not forgotten this account, but he had been busy with the competition and had not yet found the time to vent his anger.
?
Now we have to wait for the embroidery workshop to produce children's clothes before we can compete with Xiuyunfang. We have nothing to do anyway, so we might as well settle the account with Madam Feng Er first.
?
The servants of the Feng family all knew that Xie Liuzheng was a frequent visitor of Old Madam Feng, and their attitude towards her was much better than before. They welcomed her in with a smile and called a maid to take her to the inner house to meet Old Madam Feng.
?
Xie Liuzheng was always generous. Even though the maid who led the way and ran errands was just a servant, he still generously rewarded her with five taels of silver. The maid's annual salary was not even this much. She held the silver in her hand and smiled widely, and threw it at Xie Liuzheng as if it was free money.
?
Xie Liuzheng smiled and thanked the old woman for leading the way, then walked into Songhe Hall, which was Old Madam Feng's room.
?
Madam Feng couldn't hear Xie Liuzheng and the maid's voices through the window, but she could guess from the maid's expression that Xie Liuzheng was being a spendthrift again. Seeing her coming in, she deliberately scolded her with a stern face, "You have to change your habit of always using money to get out of trouble. I've told you several times but you just didn't listen. You've corrupted my servants."
?
Xie Liuzheng was not afraid of Old Madam Feng. He greeted her with a smile and moved a small chair to sit beside her. "With Old Madam as the pillar of support, how much trouble can a little monkey like me make?"
?
"Besides, the most abundant thing in my family is silver. If you don't let me use silver to open the way, I can't come up with anything else."
?
Old Madam Feng was so angry at her rogue appearance that she laughed and poked her forehead, "You, your little mouth is like a knife, you dare to say anything."
?
"Next time, ask your mother to come along. I'll tell her to take good care of you."
?
If outsiders heard this, they might think that Old Madam Feng looked down on Xie Liuzheng's education.
?
However, Xie Liuzheng knew that she was actually giving respect to Xie Xiangyu by allowing her to visit.
?
Smiling, she leaned against the old lady and acted like a spoiled child. "It's not enough for the old lady to scold Liu Zheng as soon as she saw him. She also asked my mother to help me to teach Liu Zheng a lesson. Liu Zheng can't live like this anymore."
?
Old Madam Feng was dizzy from her noise, but she also particularly enjoyed the feeling of being close to the younger generation. She frowned and scolded her for becoming more and more unruly, but she laughed before she said anything.
?
Xie Liuzheng talked to Old Madam Feng for a while, and Old Madam Feng took the initiative to show concern for the Xie family's business.
?
"Thank you for your concern, old lady. Business is going well." Xie Liuzheng stood up, knelt down and bowed, thanked old lady Feng, and sat down beside her again, hesitating and wanting to say something.
?
Old Madam Feng knew that she had something to say, so she ordered the servants who were following her to leave.
?
Xie Liuzheng hurriedly stopped her with a smile, "Madam, there is no need to be like this. There is nothing that cannot be said to others."
?
"It's just... Liu Zheng treats the old lady as her own grandmother, so I'll tell you what I have to say."
?
"A few days ago, a matchmaker came to our house and said... that the second lady of the mansion wanted to take Liu Zheng as a concubine for the second son of the eldest son."
?
“My mother refused at the time.”
?
"Liu Zheng is worried that the second lady of the mansion will be unhappy, so I would like to ask the old lady to explain to Liu Zheng and my mother. It's not that we are ungrateful, but it is the ancestral precept that the daughters of the Xie family cannot be concubines."
?
Xie Liuzheng took a breath and continued, "Besides, the old lady also knows about my family. My mother is the only one supporting the family. If Liuzheng becomes a concubine, she will have to cut off contact with her family. Liuzheng really can't bear to leave my mother alone and helpless."
?
When Old Madam Feng heard Xie Liuzheng say that Second Madam Feng wanted her to be a concubine, her face darkened and she cursed him in her heart, "Fool."
?
Not to mention that Xie Liuzheng is the only child in the Xie family, so would they be willing to let her become someone else's concubine?
?
It’s just that the Feng family has always kept a low profile, precisely because they were worried that people would accuse them of relying on the imperial concubine’s power to bully others.
?
If we follow Madam Feng's idea and take the only daughter of the richest man in Jiangnan as a concubine, what will others think?
?
Furthermore, some respectable families do not have the rule of taking a concubine before getting married. When a boy reaches a certain age, it is common to keep two maids by his side to prevent him from fooling around outside and becoming distracted.
?
The more Mrs. Feng thought about it, the angrier she became. After Xie Liuzheng finished speaking, she asked her to go back first.
?
"I know you've been wronged. Go back and tell your mother that men in our Feng family can only take concubines if they are 30 years old and have no children. The Second Madam would definitely not do such a thing."
?
"The matchmaker must have wanted to make some money from this, so she deliberately deceived both parties. You and your mother don't have to take it seriously."
?
Xie Liuzheng's pretty face turned red and she lowered her head, "I guess Liuzheng believed the matchmaker's words by mistake and almost made a fool of herself."
?
"Liu Zheng is young and has never seen the world. He takes what others say seriously. Old Madam, please don't blame Liu Zheng."
?
Old Madam Feng forced a smile as she sent Xie Liuzheng away, but her face immediately fell and she asked someone to call Madam Feng II over immediately.
?
The servants had already left the house early and had no idea what the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law talked about behind closed doors. They only vaguely saw Madam Feng leaving with a face full of shame and walking so fast that the maid could hardly keep up.
?
Mrs. Feng II had been married into the Feng family for more than 20 years and had given birth to three sons and two daughters. She was about to become a mother-in-law and a grandmother, but this was the first time she was scolded by Mrs. Feng.
?
She returned to her room and cried bitterly. After she finished crying, she gritted her teeth and scolded Xie Liuzheng, "She is just a merchant's daughter. It is a blessing for her to be my son's concubine in eight lifetimes. It's ok for her to be ungrateful, but she actually dared to gossip about me in front of the old lady."
?
"If she gets angry with me, she won't know how she died."
?
The frightened maid hurried to close the door and whispered: "Madam has also said that the girl from the Xie family is of low birth, how can she be qualified to serve the young master? Just ignore her, don't ruin the relationship between you and the old lady for a little girl who doesn't know anything."
?
Mrs. Feng stopped scolding, but she was still very angry.
?
He sat there in silence until evening, then called his trusted maid over and whispered some instructions to her.
?
The trusted maid was shocked by what Madam Feng said, "Madam, she is just a merchant's daughter, not worth dirtying your hands with."
