Chapter 155: Closer Relationship, 1 Cricket and Others

The Liao family was in chaos today, so Mrs. Liao took a sip of tea to calm her chaotic mood.

"I made a fool of myself today, Sister Xin."

"Sister Xu, why do you say that? The Marquis' Mansion was founded by military merit. Although they are now engaged in literature, they still have many veterans who need to be supported."

Xin An had been a housekeeper for many years in his previous life, but the Marquis' Mansion is not as good as the Liao Family, so he probably can't worry as much as the Liao Family. "Although I don't manage the household, I can understand Sister Xu."

Mrs. Liao looked a little tired. Today, she and her husband were being plotted against, and the one who plotted against them was their own family. How could she not feel tired?

Facing Xin An, who was also from a merchant family, Mrs. Liao asked, "What do you think girls like us from merchant families seek when we marry into powerful families?"

Xin An put down the teacup, "Of course it's for mutual benefit."

"Mutually beneficial?"

Mrs. Liao felt that this was not entirely true. Since she entered the Liao family, she had been spending money like water, and the protection the Xu family received was not as considerable as she had imagined. The Xu family was already the richest family in Linzhou, and had more than one backer.

Her father was planning this marriage for her, but it might be a losing deal.

The kind where you lose all your money.

Xin An was keenly aware of her low mood, thinking that she was affected by the bad things in the outside world, so he said: "The word interest, one carries a knife, the other carries blood, it couldn't be more straightforward, you can not use it, but you can not do without it."

"Just like my father, he never takes the initiative to talk about himself and the Marquis' Mansion. He does business entirely on his own ability, but he also wants people to know that there is a Marquis' Mansion behind him. It can also be regarded as a deterrent."

"Sister Xu, as long as you don't break any bones, it's nothing."

Mrs. Liao asked, "What if I'm injured?"

Xin An said: "Then think about it, as long as it doesn't endanger your life, it's still a small matter."

Mrs. Liao continued to ask, "What if it's life-threatening?"

Xin An responded calmly, "I will fight with all my strength."

Mrs. Liao's lips curled slightly, "Sister Xin is more open-minded and calm than me."

"Sister Xu, you are so kind."

Xin An took a deep breath, "I haven't encountered the troubles that Sister Xu has, so it's natural for me to say it easily. However, Sister Xu became the mistress of the family not long after she came in, and the Liao family has a large population. Sister Xu is very capable in keeping the Liao family in order."

I heard that the Liao family still has two elders, and there are five or six sons in the two rooms, and several girls. In this case, Liao Zhi, the nephew, is in charge. He holds military power and has the emperor's favor, which can naturally intimidate people. However, Madam Liao, a merchant girl, may not be able to lead the inner house so smoothly. She must pay the first bit of silver.

Xin An wanted to shake her head just thinking about the complexity of this. A home with a bunch of monsters and ghosts was really not suitable for her.

After all, she is in a bad temper now and gets angry easily.

"Thank goodness you came today."

Mrs. Liao's face was full of gratitude. If the couple could not come up with the ten thousand taels today, they would be tricked. She suppressed her anger and tried to calm herself down. She said to Xin An, "I envy you a little."

"The population of the Marquis' Mansion is simple, so even if you are the head of the household, there won't be much to do, it will be much easier."

Unlike her, who is miserable every day.

"It's just that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Sister Xu encountered difficulties today, and I happened to be able to help her. This is fate."

Xin An thought the tea from the Liao family was good and couldn't help but drink one more sip. Just as he was about to change the subject, he looked up and saw a girl in yellow clothes walking over, followed by a maid. Madam Liao also saw her and frowned slightly, "That's the second girl from the second room in the mansion, the third among the girls in the mansion."

Such a brief introduction shows that this girl is not liked by Mrs. Liao.

Soon, Miss Liao San left very quickly, as if she was here to call for punishment. When she arrived, she became a little cautious when she saw Xin An, and became more steady. "I didn't know that my sister-in-law had guests here. Yao'er is rude."

Mrs. Liao did not introduce Xin An to the third girl, and her eyes were clearly unhappy. "What do you want?"

"I want to ask my sister-in-law, I will be attending a banquet at the Crown Prince's residence at the beginning of next month. Would you like to buy clothes and jewelry for me?"

Mrs. Liao sneered, "Did you also receive the invitation?"

This sentence made the third young lady blush. Xin An curled the corners of her lips slightly. It must be that the invitation from the Prince's Mansion invited Liao Zhi and his wife, and this person wanted to take advantage of it.

Perhaps considering Xin An's presence and not wanting to make things too awkward, Madam Liao spoke again, "If you can go, prepare your own clothes and jewelry. The mansion won't take care of these. Go down."

Miss Liao bit her lip and turned away unwillingly. Mrs. Liao took a deep breath and said, "I made you laugh again."

Xin An said bluntly, "From what I heard from the Third Lady, she wants Sister Xu to pay. If Commander Liao has no other income, doesn't that mean Sister Xu will have to use her dowry money to pay for it?"

"This wind cannot last long."

Mrs. Liao smiled at her and said, "Do you know why I envy you?"

"I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. Before I got married, the poor girls in this mansion couldn't afford to buy a pound of good snacks. I felt sorry for them and helped them a few times, but it ended up causing trouble."

The Liao family's chaos and strangeness are definitely the best in the capital. If her husband hadn't acted decisively and personally sent that extremely biased old man to meet his ancestors, and risked his life to fight for the emperor to get the opportunity, the Liao family would have disappeared from the capital long ago.

She had a lot of things she wanted to say, but after all, she was not very familiar with Xin An, so she could only reveal a little, which helped to ease her mood a little.

Xin An said: "When noble families marry girls from our merchant families, they only look at the money bags. It is indeed easy to be targeted as soon as they enter the house. Some people are confused and think that the money bags belong to everyone. They don't think about whether they are worthy of it."

"Many noble families live in poverty. Many young men and women in the mansions only get two taels of silver a month. To be frank, what does this money mean to us? How much do they eat and use what we merchants eat and use? They can only use their family background to make matters worse. They talk about being noble, but aren't they just after the benefits?"

"She wants benefits and fame, and you have to personally deliver the benefits to her and say a few nice words before she accepts them. Ugh!"

This was her true feelings. Those poor and downtrodden people, wearing patched clothes on the outside, could only seek a sense of existence from merchants like them. They mocked them with words but secretly wished that others would give them money. They didn't know what it meant to be noble when they couldn't even afford to eat.

Mrs. Liao laughed, "What you said is right, that's exactly what happened. It's really disgusting just by looking at it."

"The key is that she doesn't know how to be grateful. She thinks you are her due. Who made you come from a lower social status than hers..."

The two men came from similar backgrounds, their family backgrounds were not too different, and they had chosen the same path, so naturally they had endless things to talk about. They talked about those powerful people behind their backs without holding back, and soon they completely opened up and laughed out loud.

With her smiling face shaking with joy, who dares to say that chatting with others behind their backs is not one of the secret ways to enhance feelings and bring people closer together?

To be friends, first of all, we need to have the same hobbies.
