My parents are omnipotent

Chapter 337 Entering the Marquis Mansion

Ye Anlan and Zheng Fengshou had only been in the shop for a short time. Under normal circumstances, they were not qualified to send jewelry to a noble family like Weipinghoufu.

But the problem is that the female family members of the Bai family in Weipinghou's mansion have become invisible people in the noble circle since two years ago.

They are different from those rich and powerful families who have too many unworthy descendants and their assets have been squandered. They still have family wealth and titles, but because the capital city has been cut off from the northern border, their status has become unprecedentedly embarrassing.

The attitude of the royal family and powerful officials towards their Bai family is getting worse year after year, and some shallow-sighted clowns even take pleasure in stepping on them to show themselves.

Although the old lady and the head wife of the Bai family are powerful characters, but for the sake of their family members stationed in the north, they can only choose to endure in many cases.

They refrained from their edge, and at the same time did not forget to restrain the younger generation in the family, in order to make the royal family and powerful officials less stare at the Bai family, but those who deliberately neglected them felt that the Bai family was exhausted.

From high-ranking officials to merchants in the market, more and more people began not to take the Bai family seriously.

Ye Anlan and Zheng Fengshou purposely sneaked into this jewelry store, and the new owner behind it is also one of those villains who become rampant when they become powerful.

Relying on being one of the brothers-in-law of the empress dowager's mother, this man squeezed out the old owner of the jewelry shop and occupied the hen that lays golden eggs passed down from his ancestors.

A certain court official who originally got a stake from this shop, because he was afraid of the power and position of the new shop owner, dared not even meet the old shop owner who came to the shop.

The old owner of the shop was shut down, and he dared not place any more hopes on his original backer.

After he came back, he didn't even dare to mention the money. Not only did he obediently offer the shop's house deed, the jewelry and raw materials stored in the shop, but also under the instruction of the other party, he also kept the craftsmen and apprentices in the shop. .

His knowledge and wit saved their family's life, but they didn't dare to stay in this capital any longer.

He took his family and left. After he left, the jewelry shop passed down by their family was changed from inside to outside except for the craftsmen and apprentices who were in charge of making jewelry.

That's why the shop is short of people, and Ye Anlan and Zheng Fengshou will take advantage of the loopholes to sneak in.

The shopkeeper sent by the new owner is also the best at budgeting. After checking the two household registration documents that Ye Anlan went to a certain county government and personally stamped and issued, this shopkeeper who loves to take advantage of small things is just like a normal clerk, At half the price of the guards, two "country folks" Ye Anlan and Zheng Fengshou were hired.

Influenced by his master, he also felt that the Marquis of Weiping had completely lost its power, and he was not worthy of their careful and respectful treatment.

In addition, because of the palace banquet, the nobles in the capital are now busy ordering clothes and jewelry, and their jewelry shop, which has just changed hands, really can't get so many familiar hands who often come and go to the mansions of dignitaries.

There was no shopkeeper available, so the "not very important" Weipinghou Mansion was distributed to the newly recruited Ye Anlan and others.

Ye Anlan and another female buddy named Qiu Xing'er were in charge of contacting the female relatives of the Weiping Hou Mansion, showing them the finished jewelry and taking back the final payment.

Zheng Fengshou and another guard named Wei Hu were responsible for escorting jewelry and silver on the way back and forth.

The shopkeeper didn't know that Ye Anlan and Zheng Fengshou were actually in the same group, and thought that all four of them were newcomers and didn't know each other.

He put the jewelry ordered by the Marquis of Weiping half a month ago into a box, and handed it to Qiu Xing'er, who had been working as a female clerk in the shop for almost a month, and then called his nephew, who hadn't sold five clothes, over to let him Help the four people who are about to go out to drive.

Zheng Fengshou said that they don't need it, "I will drive the car."

Wei Hu, who was also a guard like him, but came more than half a month earlier than him, glanced at Zheng Fengshou like a fool.

He thought to himself, the shopkeeper sent his nephew to follow him, why don't you have any idea?You are a newcomer, people can't trust you, don't you know?

Zheng Fengshou really didn't know.

But even if he was like this, the shopkeeper still didn't feel that Zheng Fengshou didn't wink at all.

To be honest, compared to Wei Hu's flexible brows and eyes, who are used to observing words and expressions, he is more at ease with Zheng Fengshou, who has no scheming and has a straight heart.

He patiently said to Zheng Fengshou, "There are rules in our shop, whoever has to do whatever job."

The implication is that since you are a guard, then don't steal the coachman's job.

Zheng Fengshou gave a dumbfounded oh, with an expression of "Although I didn't understand, but since you said so, then so be it" on his face.

The shopkeeper patted Zheng Fengshou gratifiedly, "Go, go early and come back early."

The four responded in unison, and went to the backyard to take a carriage with the shopkeeper's nephew who seemed to be awake.

The carriage was very simple, and two female assistants sat in the carriage with jewelry boxes. Zheng Fengshou and Wei Hu sat on both sides of the carriage one after the other to guard the carriage.

They crossed the streets and alleys, turned from the busy city to the east corner gate of the Hou Mansion, and then the servants who guarded the gate passed on to the inner layers.

It took about two quarters of an hour to communicate. After two quarters of an hour, Ye Anlan and Qiu Xing'er, who was holding the jewelry box, were lured to the inner house by the rough envoy of the Hou's mansion, and Zheng Fengshou and Wei Hu were guarded by the gatekeepers. Please go to the porter to have tea and wait.

Before leaving, Ye Anlan gestured to Zheng Fengshou, signaling him to stay here honestly and not cause trouble, and then she followed the woman who was leading the way inside, while quickly turning her eyes to carefully observe the surrounding environment.

This was a habit she developed in the last days. No matter where she went, her first reaction was to observe the environment and find out the best and alternative paths for a quick evacuation.

Of course, if her behavior is noticed by other people, they will laugh at her because of her looking around.

But who let no one pay attention to her now.

The mother-in-law who led the way just walked silently without looking back, and Qiu Xing'er, who came with her, was only concerned with being nervous.

Although it wasn't the first time for her to send jewelry to the homes of dignitaries, it was the first time for her to take the lead.

The previous two times, she just followed the older female assistants in the shop to fill her head, just like Ye Anlan this time.

Because of this, she was actually very nervous.

You must know that even if it is a shopkeeper with someone behind him, he only dares to look down on Weipinghou's mansion behind his back, let alone a slum girl like Qiu Xing'er who really came from a small family. Li Xing missed even one step wrong.

She tremblingly followed the woman to the inner house of the Hou's mansion, the knuckles of the hands holding the jewelry box were already turning white, so naturally she didn't have the extra energy to remind Ye Anlan who had just arrived.
