Escape from the famine at the beginning: I rely on space to spoil Lord Shoufu

Chapter 289 They Got the Wrong Person
Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, Liu Xu nodded helplessly. When they left by boat, Jian Shiming was in Yun County for the past two days and didn't see her off.

When they arrived at the bank of Liufu, the carriage was waiting there, and Liu Xu's maid, Lu Ping, took him into the carriage thoughtfully.

"Sister Tao, let's go together, I want to come to your island to play later."

Liu Xu hasn't had enough fun yet, Brother Ye must be very busy right now and doesn't have time to accompany her.

"it is good."

Tao Xi didn't refuse Liu Xu's kindness, and got into her family's carriage together, which was naturally more delicate than hers.

Although Tao Xi never asked about Liu Xu's family background, her intuition was not bad. After all, she was someone who could be engaged to Gu Ye, so how bad could it be?

The carriage rattled towards the Qiu Mansion, and Tao Xi found Jiang's hot pot shop deserted on the way.

Even though the price was lowered that day, the price rose back soon, and the taste was not as good as that of Xiwang Shop, so fewer people went there.

The carriage stopped at the Qiu Mansion, and there were quite a few carriages parked at the gate of the Qiu Mansion. Seeing the sign of the Liu Mansion's carriage, a woman immediately came up to greet her.

"Quickly, let Miss Liu's carriage go first."

Tao Xi then enjoyed a special passage, and from a distance, there were still some ladies queuing up outside.

Qingzhi reminded in a low voice: "Master, I have inquired about it. This time Mrs. Qiu also invited several officials' wives, and the county magistrate's wife is her daughter."

"Ah."

Tao Xi nodded, but he was thinking in his heart, it's been so long since Jian Shiming came back, isn't there any result yet?
It stands to reason that this result should come out soon.

After thinking wildly all the way into the Qiu Mansion, everyone who got the news was already standing at the door to greet him.

This is a nobleman from the capital, Mrs. Qiu didn't dare to neglect, she came out to greet her with her family members.

"Sister Tao, let's go down."

Liu Xu lifted the curtain and glanced outside, suddenly lost interest in continuing, alas, I knew I wouldn't be here.

But touching her smooth face, she thought again, she should let them see the effect of Sister Tao's things.

The two got out of the carriage one after the other. Tao Xi sat outside, so she went down first. Not many people in Yun County had seen her before, so they subconsciously thought she was Miss Liu from Kyoto.

Mrs. Qiu's familiar old face came into Tao Xi's eyes, and she was full of joy.

"Welcome Miss Liu to visit my Qiu Mansion."

"Miss Liu is well."

"Miss Liu is really beautiful. I am so lucky to see you today."

"..."

Tao Xi: ...

She raised her eyes and glanced at Liu Xu who appeared from the carriage. At this time, Liu Xu's face was dark, not because she blamed Tao Xi, but because she was dissatisfied with Mrs. Qiu's blindness.

"This is Miss Liu."

Tao Xi politely explained the misunderstanding, revealing Liu Xu who had just come out of the carriage.

Old Mrs. Qiu, including everyone behind her, was stunned.

Did they recognize the wrong person?

It's all because those damn servants didn't make it clear in advance, which made them almost offend Miss Liu.

Mrs. Qiu quickly adjusted her mentality, and smiled at Liu Xu.

"Sorry, Ms. Liu, we almost got it wrong. The main reason is that Ms. Liu is so beautiful, even the maids are so pretty."

Tao Xi didn't wear a few pieces of jewelry all over her body, so Mrs. Qiu recognized Tao Xi as a maid again.

Liu Xu's already dissatisfied face became even more angry, "Old woman, what are you talking about.

Open your dog eyes and see clearly, this is my elder sister Tao, obviously you invited her to come here. "

It's too much for Bisheng to deliberately humiliate them like this!
"Sister Tao?"

The county magistrate's wife, the daughter of Mrs. Qiu, was immediately stunned, and she looked at Tao Xi suspiciously.

Qing Zhi stood behind Tao Xi and explained for her: "Our master is the owner of Xiwang shop."

"Are you the one who stole my grandson's business?"

Mrs. Qiu glared at Tao Xi angrily, and noticed that Liu Xu's expression was not very good, so she restrained herself a little.

"Yes."

Tao Xiyan laughed at Yan Yan, "But I have to explain, in business, everyone depends on their ability.

Don't use such harsh words, after all, I will have to fight for the business of Yun County in the future. "

She didn't seem to see the eyes of Mrs. Qiu who was about to kill someone, and there was a smile in her eyes.

"presumptuous!"

The county magistrate's wife is the daughter of old lady Qiu, so she couldn't see someone insulting her mother like this, so her eyes immediately turned red with anger.

Liu Xu's face was stern, and she said angrily, "Who are you calling presumptuous?"

Sister Tao is now the person she protects, how can she watch Sister Tao being bullied?

Mrs. Xian Cheng's face turned pale and pale when Liu Xu said this, but she also understood that this might be a nobleman in the capital, and she couldn't afford to offend her.

So she could only smile embarrassingly, "I just think that a junior like her shouldn't talk like this in front of elders."

"Who is her elder?"

Liu Xu expressed doubts, she remembered that Sister Tao and this family were not relatives.

When Liu Xu asked such a straightforward question, Mrs. Xiancheng looked very embarrassed, but fortunately, Mrs. Jiang was there to smooth things over.

"Madam Xian Cheng doesn't mean that. She means that the old lady is older, not Miss Jian's elder."

"That's what I meant."

The county magistrate's wife was very annoyed, she didn't say much after all, but actually remembered Tao Xi in her heart.

Tao Xi didn't care either, with sarcasm in his eyes, "I thought I had a few more elders for nothing."

Old Mrs. Qiu's face turned pale, and her face twitched.

"Everyone stop standing, let's go in."

Mrs. Jiang was smiling, she was the little follower of Mrs. Xiancheng, she was always thinking of her, so it was natural to have a relationship right now.

She smiled at Old Madam Qiu: "Old Madam, I heard that you got a string of pearls recently?"

"Yes."

Mrs. Qiu showed a smug smile, although she heard that the Qian family also got a pearl after she left.

But that pearl has not been sold, so she thinks that her pearl is also very rare.

Mrs. Jiang showed a look of surprise, "I have never seen a pearl, can the old lady show us?"

As soon as these words came out, the female family members who were restrained just now looked at Mrs. Qiu curiously.

"Madam, I am very curious."

"That's right, I heard that the pearl is as lustrous as jade, it's very beautiful, and it's extremely slippery, I don't know if it's true or not."

"..."

"Then let you see."

Mrs. Qiu glanced at Tao Xi triumphantly, Shi Shiran beckoned, and a woman brought a delicate and small box.

Everyone looked at it seriously, even Liu Xu's eyes fell on the exquisite gift box.

Seeing this, the old lady's expression became more and more proud, she took the gift box into her hand, and said with a smile:
"This pearl cost me a lot of silver."

Although she almost quarreled with her son and grandson because of this matter, Mrs. Qiu didn't feel that she had done anything wrong.
