Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 823 Embarrassing Stories of the Elders 2.0

The three generations of the Qing family were all imperial merchants, and they had an inseparable relationship with the Wu Palace. They were guests of the Dai Palace. Most importantly, Qing Yuanhui's eldest sister was once a female official next to the Empress Dowager, and she had a deep relationship with the Empress Dowager.

"Sister Qing's husband-in-law was personally chosen by the emperor's wife. After the two got married, the relationship between the couple was very good. They lived in harmony and lived a happy life. It's a pity..." His Royal Highness Ning sighed With a helpless tone and expression, "Good people don't live long. When the couple was out for an outing, they encountered robbers. Together with the maids, servants, and servants around them, there were a total of thirty people..."

"A robber?" Shen Haolin frowned, "When did this happen?"

"It must have been more than ten years." Qing Yuanhui looked at Shen Haolin, "I know what you are thinking, but the robbers have already caught them, and we have also asked them. They are not from the same group as the Chi family. I'm not right. Speaking of the case of the Chi family, I have some news. "

"Oh?" His Highness King Ning looked at Qing Yuanhui with great interest, "Why didn't I hear you say that?"

"There is such a rumor, but I have never seen this person before. I don't know if it is true or not, so I didn't say it." Qing Yuanhui sorted out his thoughts and said, "The child who was rumored to be robbed, The illegitimate son of Mrs. Chi's mother is now living in the Kingdom of Jin, and his biological father is a certain nobleman in the Kingdom of Jin, and he is the only son, and all the wealth of the family has been left to this illegitimate son."

"Where did you hear that?" His Royal Highness Ning frowned slightly, "A businessman from the Kingdom of Jin who is doing business with you?"

"Yeah!" Qing Yuanhui nodded, "Many nobles in the Kingdom of Jin have their own properties, and many noble children are very keen on doing business. Of those who do business with me, two of them are considered dignified in the Yiqing Mansion. , They have their own news. It is said that the illegitimate child is very capable, and there are many unconvinced and provocative people in the clan, all of whom are suppressed by him, and now he has said nothing in the clan."

"Madam Chi...don't know?"

"I probably didn't know, otherwise I wouldn't have left with regrets." Qing Yuanhui sighed, "I reckon Old Man Chi knows."

"Why?" Song Qiyun looked at Qing Yuanhui curiously, "If he knew, shouldn't he keep Madam Chi from it?"

"He should have only found out about it in the last few years. I suspect that this is why Chi Er took my route through the Dai Wang Mansion and Wu Wang Mansion. On the one hand, they want to smuggle salt and iron to save some money for themselves." On the one hand, I want to find Mrs. Chi's younger brother by doing business in the Kingdom of Jin."

"They..." Shen Haolin tapped his fingers on the table beside him, "What exactly do they want to do? Just because the gentry from the south of the Yangtze River migrated to Xijing, they will treason the country?"

"This is just a cover for them. The real purpose is to satisfy their own greed. Why take revenge for those prominent families in the south of the Yangtze River? A hundred years have passed, and the people back then may have been reincarnated several times. "Qing Yuanhui rolled his eyes, "Unfortunately, when I agreed to do business with them, I didn't realize their true colors, otherwise, even if I insulted King Wu and Prince Dai, I wouldn't agree."

"This is about the matter of you being cheated by Chi Er." His Royal Highness Ning Wang pushed him, "You have told me all about my embarrassment, now tell me about your own!" Seeing that Yuan Hui was still a little suspicious, he again Continue to urge, "Stop the ink, hurry up!"

"In fact, there is nothing to say. He asked me to do business, and I agreed. He said he had no experience, and asked me to take him, and I agreed. You also know that for so many years, I have been doing silk, Tea leaves are more popular among foreigners. In winter, they will bring some unique cakes from Daxia. Although the price is high, the quality is also high. Value for money is the bottom line I have always insisted on. But..." Qing Yuan Hui sighed, "That time, he made me suffer."

"Are you ready to recharge?"

"Almost." Qing Yuanhui nodded towards Shen Cha, "He mixed bad quality silk with good ones, and sold them to some shops in Yiqing Mansion under my name. Those who were cheated by him, They are not my old customers, so I didn’t hear from those Jin Kingdom merchants until I returned to Xijing, almost three months ago.”

"Then why is there a second time?"

"When I received the news, I was already ready to leave, and it was too late to regret it." Qing Yuanhui sighed, "However, fortunately, I received the news, and I became wary of Chi Er, only then did I realize that he used the He took my way and started a salt and iron business. I also thank him for being so bold and giving me a good excuse to get rid of him."

"Differences do not conspire with each other, it is good to withdraw early to minimize losses."

"It's not over yet, just a few months ago, he..." His Royal Highness Ning Wang smirked, "He fell into Chi Er's trap again."
