The Regent's Sweetheart

Chapter 630 Is there such a thing?

Xuemei was puzzled at the beginning, and gradually opened her mouth in surprise. She didn't expect Ma Pingfeng to be such a person.

This is too different from what the fourth girl said about Ma Pingfeng.

"Thank you three young masters for letting me know." Xuemei turned and left after being convinced. She had to tell the empress about it quickly!

After walking a few steps among the crowd, I saw a calligraphy and painting workshop on the side of the road, which seemed to be the property of the Chen family.

And she happened to see a familiar figure.

At the same time, Chen Qian, who was talking to some clerks at the gate of the calligraphy and painting workshop, also saw Xuemei from the corner of her eye.

"Go and do your work first." Chen Qian sent the two men away, and then went in the direction of Xuemei.

After being stunned for a moment, Xuemei hurried to the calligraphy and painting workshop, and bowed to Chen Qian, "Second girl is well."

"What's safe?" Chen Qian slapped Xuemei's shoulder, and asked with a smile, "Where's Jiaojiao? Didn't come out?"

Xuemei shook her head: "No, my mother has not been in a good spirit these two days, she must be tired."

"Tired?" Chen Qian looked puzzled, "Who can make her tired?"

In Chen's mansion, this Jiaojiao is the ancestor of offering sacrifices, who dares to make this girl tired?
Xuemei confessed truthfully: "The Chen family has withdrawn from the engagement with the Fourth Miss."

"Really?" Chen Qian was stunned for a moment, and then her brows were beaming with joy.

This marriage between the Chen family and the Zhu family does not agree with anyone except the second uncle, so it is just right to retire now.

"I've been busy these days, so I don't know about it. I'll go back in the afternoon and bring some good things to make her happy."

The two were talking when they suddenly heard a noise.

"Where do poor scholars come from? Get out! Our Baiyantang doesn't sell things to poor scholars like you!"

The voice came from the side, Xuemei looked for the reputation, and saw a clerk at the door of a shop selling the four treasures of the study, who was arrogantly chasing a poor-looking scholar.

"What kind of shop is this? Do you still look down on people?" Xuemei couldn't help feeling sorry for the kicked-out scholar, so she almost came forward to argue.

Chen Qian shook her head and said, "That's the Huo family's shop."

"It shouldn't be like this in any other shop!" Xuemei retorted.

"I don't blame the Huo family, you don't know, the daughter of the Huo family was cheated of a lot of money by a poor scholar, and finally the poor scholar ran away with the money, and the daughter of the Huo family was so sad that she hanged herself. "

Speaking of this, Chen Qian still felt a little regretful, shaking her head and sighing: "That's why the Huo family's shop doesn't allow these poor scholars to enter."

Xuemei was touched when she heard it, but she still felt that the Huo family's behavior was a bit inappropriate, and she sighed slightly: "Although...but it's all generalized, isn't it a bit extreme?"

"You didn't know when you were not in Hangzhou." Chen Qian put his arm on Xuemei's shoulder and said as he walked into the calligraphy and painting workshop, "We Hangzhou merchants don't even have a good impression of poor scholars."

"Why?"

"These rascals don't dare to offend the officials' families, so they try their best to deceive girls from merchant families like us, for no other reason than to make a lot of money. There are many tricks."

Xuemei's face was shocked: "There is such a thing?" It's unbelievable!

Chen Qian nodded, raised her eyebrows and said, "But speaking of it, I can't blame others. This kind of scholar just took a fancy to the merchant and wanted to find a Qingliu family as a backer. He promised to get a good reputation in the future, so he got the Tao."
