Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 809

Doing business is not easy, especially when encountering delays in accounts.Since she is also a businessman, she is especially sympathetic to them.

Liu Yunxiang coughed dryly, then looked at Mrs. Li, and praised: "It turns out that Mrs. Li came here to pay everyone's bills today. Presumably you also know that it is not easy for everyone to do business. You are worthy of being the wife of a parent official. She is thoughtful and considerate. That's good. Li Futai can marry you, it is really a blessing that has been cultivated in ten lifetimes."

As she said that, she turned her head and asked the owner of Fengxianlou, "I've informed the other families. We can't make Mrs. Li wait too long."

The owner of Fengxianlou knows that the woman in front of him is collecting debts for them, so he cooperates immediately: "You remind me, I will go to urge other families here, Mrs. Li's time is precious, but I can't afford to wait." .”

The boss of Fengxian Tower hurried over after saying that, but Mrs. Li didn't stop her even if she wanted to.

This time, she panicked and her head started to break out in cold sweat.Since taking office with Li Huai, relying on her status as the wife of the Futai, she owed a lot of money for eating and drinking in this street. She never thought about paying it back, but if she really wanted to pay it back, it would be a big deal. Big money.

Mrs. Li wiped off her sweat, forced a smile on Liu Yunxiang and said, "Seventh, Mrs. Seventh, I still have something to do at home, so I'll go back first."

"do not!"

Liu Yunxiang grabbed Mrs. Seven, "We haven't had this tea yet."

"I can't drink anymore."

"Then have a snack."

"I'm not hungry."

"Then sit down and chat for a while."

Liu Yunxiang pulled Mrs. Seven to sit down, and said with a smile: "We came here for the time when we were out of the pavilion, and we met back then, right?"

This "Yes", obviously Liu Yunxiang didn't remember, the corners of Mrs. Li's mouth twitched, no wonder she was perfunctory when she mentioned the past.

Under Liu Yunxiang's warm hospitality, soon the stewards of other families came with the bills, and Liu Yunxiang asked them to give the bills to the maid.

"Go and get the money and return it to everyone, so that your wife can go back to rest early."

Seeing Mrs. Li nodding with a gloomy face, the maid had no choice but to go back with the bill.

The first maid came back first, took 500 taels of silver and returned it to the steward of Luoxia Silk and Satin Village.It took a long time for the other maid to go, and it was going to be dark soon.

All the housekeepers were waiting nearby, and Mrs. Li couldn't escape even if she wanted to.

Finally, when the maid came, she brought over the accountant from the house, and they did the accounting one by one. In the end, all 3 taels of silver went out.

"Tsk tsk, Mrs. Li, you can really buy it."

Mrs. Li's face had already turned pale, she stood up tremblingly at this moment, said something indiscriminately, and hurriedly led the maidservant away.He walked and staggered, but his steps were hurried, as if he was running away.

Others didn't know, but the manager of Luoxia Silk and Satin Village and the owner of Fengxianlou knew that Mrs. Li was willing to pay back the debt because of Liu Yunxiang's help, so they left it to Liu Yunxiang to express their thanks.

"You don't need to thank you." Liu Yunxiang looked at the manager of Luoxia Silk and Satin Factory, "Can I meet your lady boss?"

"This..." The steward was a little embarrassed.

"You ask her what she means first. If she doesn't see her, I won't force her."

Seeing Liu Yunxiang's sincere attitude, and the fact that he helped them a lot just now, the steward nodded and said, "Then, madam, come over here with the young one."

Liu Yunxiang bid farewell to the shopkeeper of Fengxianlou, and followed the steward to the backyard of the silk and satin village.The steward made repeated apologies and asked Liu Yunxiang to wait at the door, and he went in first to report.

"You must forgive me. Our lady boss rarely sees outsiders. If she takes you in rashly, she will be angry."

"I can understand, and I hope the steward can say something nice for me."

"sure."

The steward went in, and Liu Yunxiang was waiting at the door of Chuihua.At this time, it was already dark, and lights were lit inside and outside the courtyard, and occasionally maidservants came in and out.

"Girl, the proprietress of Luoxia Silk and Satin Village has a lot of airs. If she opens the door for business, there is no one who refuses to meet people." Zi Jin pouted.

Liu Yunxiang hissed at her, "Don't say that, the proprietress has encountered some things to become like this."

At this time, there was movement from inside, and a round and tall figure was invited out. He turned his head and talked non-stop while walking out.

"Sister, give brother a face at that time and meet this Seventh Madam."

"My brother told you that she is not an ordinary businessman."

"There are people above her, so don't offend her!"

"Ouch!"

This person was none other than Gao Yuanwai, because he was too busy talking and didn't pay attention to the steps, he stepped on the ground and almost fell down.Staggering down the steps, he slapped his chest in fright.

"Sister, did you listen to what brother said?"

"Master, don't force Madam." The maid who sent him out said helplessly.

"How can I force her? She can't see people all her life, can she?"

"It's not like you don't know what's going on, madam."

"But it's a long life, she can't be like this all the time."

"Master, stop talking, go back first."

After the maid finished speaking, she turned and went in.

Gao Yuanwai sighed heavily, turned around and walked out. When he reached the door and saw Liu Yunxiang, he was taken aback for a moment, "Why are you here?"

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "It turns out that Gao Yuanwai is the older brother of the proprietress."

"Elder brother is useless. You have seen it too. She refuses to see you."

"We still have to thank Yuanwai Gao."

Gao Yuanwai thought of something, and snorted, "So you were the one that Manager Li said just now to help them collect debts from Mrs. Li?"

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "Yes."

"Aren't you afraid of offending Li Futai?"

"Do you think I'm afraid?"

After all, he also knew that her identity was not simple.

Gao Yuanwai laughed dryly, "Of course you are not afraid."

After finishing speaking, he sighed again, "Since ancient times, the people have not fought with the officials, and the businessmen have never dared. Then Mrs. Li owed so much money, and everyone came to ask for it, but there was no answer. Everyone was worried, but Worry comes and goes, who dares to really offend these officials, especially local officials. To say that they work for the people is better to say that they are local snakes, and everyone is afraid of them."

"What about Master Yang?"

"When Lord Yang was here, there were no local snakes in Yanzhou. Whether it was a commoner or a businessman, they lived with their heads held high. It doesn't seem like they have to clench their tails now."

Liu Yunxiang exhaled, "An official like Yang He is indeed rare."

"So Seventh Madam, you must save Master Yang, we Yanzhou people will remember your great kindness."

"Mr. Gao's foreign words are serious." She paused for a while, and continued: "The Seventh Highness came to Yanzhou to avenge Lord Yang. If you know anything or have any grievances, you can go to Wanchun Garden Tell His Highness Seven."

"The Seventh Highness is not also a member of the imperial court."

"So people in Yandi don't believe in the imperial court?"

"This……"

At this time, the steward came out with a look of embarrassment, saying that it was his wife who still refused to see her.

Liu Yunxiang nodded to express his understanding, "Then I'll visit you another day."

Liu Yunxiang and Gao Yuanwai went out together, walking on the street, Liu Yunxiang asked Gao Yuanwai: "Ten years ago, what happened to the fire at Luoxia Silk and Satin Village?"

When Gao Yuanwai heard Liu Yunxiang mention this, his face turned livid, "The big fire...someone set it on fire."
